Among all his abilities, Luo Xiu is best at speed.
Apart from innate martial arts masters, Luo Xiu has confidence in speed that is not inferior to any martial artist in the realm of Qi Sea.
So, the last young warrior who followed him ultimately couldn't escape from this deserted and dim alley.
His body was pressed against the cold wall, and the back of the young warrior was soaked in cold sweat. His eyes were filled with fear, as the sharp tip of a black battle sword was less than half an inch away from his eyebrows.
"Your two companions have already been killed by me. If you want to survive, answer my question!" Luo Xiu's cold and emotionless voice rang out.
The young warrior nodded desperately, too nervous and afraid to speak, fearing that if he slowed down his reaction, he would be killed by this ruthless guy.
"What is your name? And who instructed you to follow me? What is the situation with my family now? Who is the main envoy behind the scenes?..."
Luo Xiu asked the questions he needed to know one by one.
"I am a disciple of the Xiaoyao Outer Sect, named Huo Lin. The two deceased individuals are my senior brothers, both disciples of the Outer Sect Deacon Shen Gaojian..."
Hollin dared not hesitate and revealed everything he knew.
"I've already said everything I know, please don't kill me..." Hollin kept pleading for mercy.
Luo Xiu returned the Shadow Sword to its sheath and said expressionlessly, "I said if I didn't kill you, I wouldn't kill you."
As the words fell, just as Huo Lin had just breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Xiu suddenly slapped and hit his dantian position, nullifying his cultivation.
Hollin widened his eyes, then turned black and passed out.
Slaying two people and abolishing one, Luo Xiu's eyes showed no mercy. Since these people wanted to deal with themselves, they had to bear the relative consequences and costs.
"Outer Gate Deacon Shen Gaojian?"
Luo Xiu frowned. According to the intelligence he learned from Huo Lin, the relationship between Shen Gaojian and Zhang Lvliang seemed to be not good. It should not have been entrusted by Zhang Lvliang to deal with him.
Not only that, Luo Xiu also learned that his parents and sister had been taken control and were currently imprisoned in the martial arts hall. The former head of the Qingyun martial arts hall had been removed, and Shen Gaojian was temporarily taking over the position of the hall head.
Undoubtedly, this is a conspiracy against Luo Xiu, not only his parents and sisters, but also the Lord of Qingyun Palace.
"That Shen Gao Sword is an external deacon, and at the very lowest, he is a strong person with seven or more innate abilities. With my strength, wanting to go to the Martial Palace to save someone is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."
Luo Xiu forced himself to calm down to prevent impulsive actions from causing irreversible consequences.
He can be sure that the whole Qingyun City should have been full of eyeliner. In a short time, the enemy may not know that he came to Qingyun City through the transmission array, but if Huo Lin's three people are missing, the enemy should be able to speculate that he is already in Qingyun City.
Luo Xiu was well aware that even if he killed Hollin and then destroyed his body, there was not much time left for him.
Taking out his bamboo hat from the storage ring, Luo Xiu did not go to the Qingyun Martial Palace, but returned to the location of the Hunter Guild in the city.
The Hunter Guild, Formation Mage Guild, Casting Master Guild, and Alchemy Master Guild, these four forces, whether in Yunlong County or the entire Tianwu Kingdom, actually hold a transcendent position.
It seems that the status of the Xiaoyao Sect is superior to that of the guild, but in reality, it is only because there is no real conflict of interests between them.
At the Xiaoyao Outer Gate, Luo Xiu heard that the branches of the four major guilds spread throughout the world, and the power of the four guilds existed in every city and even in other countries outside of Tianwu.
In the city of Yunlong County, even when the leader of Xiaoyao encounters the presidents of the four major guilds, he must treat them with respect.
Fighting and fighting are prohibited in the Hunter Guild, so Luo Xiu came here. At least as long as he doesn't step out of here, no one dares to attack him in the guild hall.
Qingyun Martial Palace.
One of the deacons of the Xiaoyao Outer Gate, Shen Gaojian has a burly figure, broad and thick palms, and a ferocious scar on his left face resembling a centipede.
Sitting in the seat of the Lord of the Martial Palace, he looked at the two corpses with a gloomy expression, as well as Huo Lin, who had been abandoned and in a state of unconsciousness.
"Master, these three people were found in a small alley in the city, so Luo Xiu should have returned to Qingyun City."
A middle-aged man in brocade suddenly said, and this person is the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Shaohai.
"He should have used the teleportation array of the Hunter Guild." Shen Gaojian nodded and looked at Zhang Shaohai, saying, "You can lead a team of Qingjia Guards to guard near the Hunter Guild. Once you discover Luo Xiu's appearance, there is no mercy!"
"Yes!" Zhang Shaohai responded and went to arrange.
Shen Gaojian picked up a tea cup and took a sip, then said, "A few people, drag these three corpses out and bury them."
Several Qing Jia guards walked into the hall and found that one of them was not a corpse, but just unconscious.
But these few Qingjia guards dare not ask too many questions and carefully follow Shen Gaojian's instructions.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Shen Gaojian's mouth. He really liked the feeling that others were afraid of him. This time, he held the edict above and came to Qingyun City. Even the Qingyun Palace Lord, who had higher cultivation than himself, had to obediently hand over the power of the Martial Palace Lord.
Hunter Guild.
Wearing a hat on his head, Luo Xiu came to the counter.
The receptionist in front of the counter is still Jiang Shanshan, who is known as the number one beauty of the Qingyun City Hunter Guild Branch.
"Beauty, I want to see Elder Zhuang Nantian," Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.
In this Qingyun City, he doesn't know many people. The Qingyun Palace Lord has been seized of power and his whereabouts are unknown. The only thing he knows is that Zhuang Nantian is not only an elder of the Martial Palace, but also an elder of the Hunter Guild branch.
Jiang Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, may I ask what your relationship is with Elder Zhuang, so that I can pass on the message on your behalf?"
"I am the younger generation of Elder Zhuang. You just need to say 'Luo Xiu seeks to see you'."
"Okay, please wait a moment," Jiang Shanshan said with a smile.
Wait... Luo Xiu? This name seems to have been heard somewhere before.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the person wearing a bamboo hat with some suspicion, unable to remember for a moment.
"Beauty, what's the problem?" Luo Xiu said, wearing a bamboo hat, and Jiang Shanshan naturally couldn't recognize him.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I was impolite."
Jiang Shanshan regained her senses and quickly called for a person to handle the reception matters, and then went to report this matter to Elder Zhuang.
"A team of Qing Jia Wei has arrived outside. I don't know what these guys are doing in the Hunter Guild."
"I heard that there have been some incidents at the Qingyun Martial Palace recently. Who knows what exactly happened."
"The Hunter Guild prohibits fighting, not to mention a team of Green Armored Guards, even the Lord of the Martial Palace dare not cause trouble here."
"Hehe, don't be fooled by the fact that our place is just a small branch of the Hunter Guild. The chairman in charge is said to be a martial arts master level powerhouse!"
Upon hearing the conversation of several hunters, Luo Xiu's expression under the bamboo hat couldn't help but become somewhat solemn. It was obvious that Shen Gaojian had already known about his arrival in Qingyun City.
However, there were actually powerful martial arts masters in the Hunter Guild, which surprised Luo Xiu and also showed how powerful the Hunter Guild was.
After a moment, Jiang Shanshan returned and said, "Mr. Zhuang asked me to bring Mr. over, please come with me."
Luo Xiu nodded and immediately, led by Jiang Shanshan, arrived at the door of a room in the Hunter Guild.
Pushing the door open and entering, Luo Xiu saw two people sitting in the room. One of them was Zhuang Nantian, while the other person surprised Luo Xiu by being the Lord of Qingyun Hall!
Jiang Shanshan's task was completed, she turned around and left, but she was still thinking about why she was somewhat familiar with Luo Xiu.
After a while, she suddenly remembered... Is it him? That kid who said he wanted to pursue back then?
In the room.
Luo Xiu took off his bamboo hat and saluted, saying, "I have seen the Lord of the Palace, Elder Zhuang."
The Lord of Qingyun Temple looked at Luo Xiu with a serious expression and said, "You kid, this is a big trouble!"
"Three days ago, Shen Gaojian arrived at Qingyun City and, holding the edict of the outer gate master, directly seized the power of the martial arts hall master from me. Then he ordered the arrest of your parents and sisters..."
"The edict from the Lord of the Outer Gate, Lu Feichen?" Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's mind went blank with a loud bang.
"I'm also surprised to say that with the power of Lord Lu, you can completely deal with you in the Xiaoyao Outer Gate. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?" said Lord Qingyun with a frown.
Luo Xiu didn't speak, his mind was now completely blank.
He had always suspected that it was Zhang Lvliang who was going to deal with him, but he never thought that the person who was going to deal with him would be Lu Feichen!
Recalling that Lu Feichen gave him a storage ring to keep away from Lu Mengyao, he refused without hesitation at the time.
The next day, he received his sister Luo Xiu'er's jade phoenix hairpin.
Seeing Luo Xiu silent, the Lord of Qingyun Temple and Elder Zhuang exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Obviously, there are hidden secrets that they are not aware of.
Based on Luo Xiu's analysis of the causes and consequences, it can be basically determined that since Shen Gaojian is holding the edict of Lu Feichen, the person who is dealing with him should undoubtedly be Lu Feichen!
But what puzzled Luo Xiu was, why did Lu Feichen treat him like this, was it just to prevent him from pestering Lu Mengyao?
As for why Lu Feichen didn't take action in the Xiaoyao Outer Gate, obviously he didn't want Lu Mengyao to know!
Seemingly like a righteous gentleman, Luo Xiu did not expect that the Lord of the Lu Sect was such a cunning person!
The top priority is to rescue your parents first!
Luo Xiu raised his head and looked at the Lord of Qingyun Temple and Elder Zhuang, "Please help me save my loved ones, two seniors."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Qingyun Hall looked embarrassed and sighed, "Luo Xiu, you are a genius from my Qingyun Martial Arts Hall background. I also want to help you, but as a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, if I help you, Yunlong County will no longer have my place to hide."
"If I were alone, it would be fine, but I also have a wife and children, living in Yunlong County. I hope you can understand."
Luo Xiu was not surprised by the response from the Lord of Qingyun Temple, after all, he was not related to the Lord of Qingyun Temple, but also implicated him in being seized of power due to his own affairs.
In fact, the Lord of Qingyun Palace did not directly arrest him and take him to invite him for credit, so it can be considered as a kindness to him.
Upon realizing this later, Luo Xiu couldn't help but sweat a cold sweat on his back. If the Lord of Qingyun Palace really wanted to catch him and invite him for credit, with his powerful cultivation of half a step of refining gods, he would be completely trapped here!
At this moment of contemplation, Luo Xiu deeply bowed to the Lord of Qingyun Temple.
The Lord of Qingyun Temple sighed and didn't say anything more.
Zhuang Nantian spoke up and said, "Although I am not from the Xiaoyao Sect, I can only be considered as the listed elder of the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall. However, with my strength, I cannot help you either."
Zhuang Nantian shook his head and said, "Although the Palace Master and I cannot help you, there is someone who can help you."
"Who?" Luo Xiu asked.
"The strong members of the Hunter Guild!" Zhuang Nantian said, "There are many strong members of the Hunter Guild. Hunters like you are not considered true members of the Hunter Guild, but as long as you can pay enough compensation, you can invite the strong members of the Hunter Guild to help you."
"For example, in the situation you are facing this time, as long as you invite a martial arts master to take action, you can save your loved ones. Of course, you also need to pay the corresponding compensation."
In fact, Zhuang Nantian is also very clear that the method he proposed has little possibility for Luo Xiu.
After all, he is just a martial artist in the realm of Qi Sea. How could he possibly receive the reward that makes the martial arts master tempted?
