Chapter 568
Chapter 568
As soon as night fell, Le Xiaoyi took Wu Tuo and the other two to leave the Moon God Sect. Although they walked carefully, they did not remain silent, and the people of the Moon God Sect should be aware of it.
On the way to Beicheng, she looked up at the dark sky from time to time, and the road behind her was also deep, running through the scattered houses in the mountains and forests in the distance, sinking into the quiet and deep night sky.
After several hours, there was no one chasing after him, and Le Xiaoyi was even more puzzled.
Dawn breaks, the dark sky is torn open, and light gradually penetrates to the earth, holding up the dew from the floating dust in the forest and the fragrance of vegetation, enveloping the rare warmth and coolness in the midsummer morning.
She let go of her right hand holding the lovesickness beans tightly, and the beads were shiny and moist. After playing with them for a long time, the surface was dyed with a thin and bright wax color, which added a little vitality to the beads that entrusted her feelings.
"No one is following." Wu Tuo reported the observation situation to Le Xiaoyi, "There are two Jianghu people, but they are passing by, and they have disappeared at this moment."
"How far is it to Beicheng?"
"If all goes well, you will be able to see the city gate by this time tomorrow." Wu Tuo has been to Tiansheng in the past and knows the way very well.
Le Xiaoyi nodded, and said again: "Take a break, and hurry up in half an hour."
There is still more than half a month before the wind and cloud list. They travel all the way to eat and sleep in the open. They are already in a hurry, and it doesn't matter if they rest for a day or two.
Wu Tuo and Jian Shiliu each retreated to Le Xiaoyi's side, and continued to perform their duties tacitly, each protecting one side.
It's always good to be cautious.
The Billboard is about to open, and there are several times more ships from Tiansheng to Beiming. Most of them are passenger ships shared by more than a hundred people. People from the sect's aristocratic family are more of the quacks who simply go to watch the excitement.
Le Xiaoyi has experienced many assassinations over the years, and he has long been used to hiding his whereabouts when traveling, and concealing his whereabouts from others. The best place to live is the crowd.
She used the sword heart of the primordial spirit to suppress her breath, dressed as an ordinary Jianghu person, her cultivation was only at the early stage of the bone yuan realm, and she held a matching sword wrapped in rags in her hand, blending into the crowd inconspicuously.
Wu Tuo and Jian Shiliu boarded the boat one after the other, their eyes followed Le Xiaoyi, but they were not close to each other. They were separated by a few steps. In the eyes of others, they should have nothing to do with each other.
The boat set off at the right time, and the quacks on board did not know each other. Except for the helmsman, everyone else staggered in the corner, gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered the secrets of the quack that they knew.
Le Xiaoyi sat next to the wooden box holding the sword, the box cast a huge shadow, covering her thin body, she hid there, her breath was weak, even if someone walked by, it would be hard to find she.
On the other side of the cargo box, several people who were less than two steps away from her were eagerly discussing the Billboard, and several familiar names were mentioned one after another, such as Shen Hao, Ji Yuxuan, Xuanyuan Ke and Mo Longzi.
Of course, some people also talked about Le Xiaoyi, but although Le Xiaoyi's name is famous, he has become famous not long after all, and there is still a clear gap between him and Shen Hao, Ji Yuxuan and others.
In addition to these well-known up-and-comers in the world, Le Xiaoyi also heard people mention Luo Qingyuan, the youngest of the Luo family sisters, and Zuo Shixuan, the heir who just broke through the innate talent of the Zuo family.
They also received invitations to the Innate Billboard.
In the territory of the Dayu Dynasty, the Ghost Dao Sect, which had not made any move for a long time, also sent a disciple to participate in the Billboard, but this disciple of the Ghost Dao Sect was very mysterious, and the Ghost Dao Sect deliberately concealed it, and no one knew his name.
In addition, those sect masters that Le Xiaoyi met when he was in Tianshan, their sect families also sent people to participate in the wind and cloud rankings. This grand event will inevitably compete with each other, and the existence of the Cloud Sea Alliance ensures the fairness of the game.
If there is no Emperor Qing to disrupt the situation.
Le Xiaoyi lowered her head and dozed off, the words of praise from these people were nothing new, and she had heard a lot in the past two years.
When she was drowsy, her ears suddenly caught a word.
"... Qing Emperor...has a grudge..."
Le Xiaoyi's ears trembled, and he opened his eyes.
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die?"
"I'm just listening to rumors." The speaker didn't care, and waved his hands, "Let's talk privately, Emperor Qing can't put his hand here, can he?"
His identity could not be seen from the clothes on his body, he was about forty years old, at the late stage of the Bone Yuan Realm, and his cultivation was close to the Marrow Yuan Realm.
People with a little strength are always proud of their talents, and if they are limited by their regional vision, they will be even more arrogant. Although this person is not conceited, his tone of voice makes people uncomfortable.
Le Xiaoyi regretted the sentence she didn't hear just now, but it was erased from her heart in a short while.
There should not be many people from aristocratic families on such a ship. Those who have a little background and self-respect usually do not lack the money to rent the entire ship. ocean.
This is the confidence that this person speaks recklessly and is not afraid of offending others.
At dusk, the ship shook, and the waves beat against the wooden walls on the side of the ship, making a viscous and thick knocking sound.
Le Xiaoyi looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling that the weather is not good today, and it might rain at night.
She got up from the dark corner, intending to find a chance to get into the cabin.
The few people who spoke just now leaned against each other and fell asleep at some point.
Before Le Xiaoyi could step out of the shadow cast by the cargo box, a strange intuition stopped her. Immediately, she seemed to hear the crisp sound of a bowstring. These small sounds were extremely inconspicuous on the noisy ship, and almost no one noticed.
If he hadn't heard a similar sound a while ago, it would be difficult for Le Xiaoyi to catch this abnormality in the hustle and bustle.
In the next moment, the arrow pierced through the air, passing through the space of tens of feet, and with a puff sound, it sank into the mouth of the person who mentioned Qingdi just now.
Those who walked with him did not see where the arrow came from, but this cold arrow had already shattered his heart.
Panic broke out suddenly, blood spattered three feet, and he died on the spot.
The people around all witnessed this scene, and looked around one after another, trying to find the person who shot the arrow, but except for the rioting crowd, no one could find the perpetrator.
Le Xiaoyi stared at the direction where the cold arrow hit just now, silently remembering the signs of the breath fluctuation at that moment, then retracted his gaze, shrank back a little, hid firmly in the darkness, and did not try again into the cabin.
The helmsman on the boat came quickly, this was the boat of the Tiansheng government, the captain was also of good cultivation, he went forward and asked the people around him a few words, but he didn't get any useful clues.
He had long been familiar with this situation, so he presumed it was a vendetta, and asked someone to come up to dispose of the corpse, burn it to ashes, no one took the ashes away, and threw them into the sea.
The crowd who watched the excitement also quickly adapted to it. It has nothing to do with them and hangs high.
No one took this matter to heart, even the few people who spoke to him before did not really take this attack and killing seriously.
It's not that they didn't think about whether it was because of the previous sentence, but when the previous person spoke, there were no suspicious people around. They stayed in one place all the time, and no one ventilated them. Presumably no one heard them.
It is undoubtedly a vendetta.
Le Xiaoyi watched this scene with cold eyes, but his attention wandered from the surroundings, and he couldn't find that faint breath, presumably this person had already hidden well.
The sky was getting darker and darker, Le Xiaoyi leaned against the gap between the cargo boxes, and it started to rain after a while, and the rain splashed and washed the deck, and the blood left earlier fainted quickly and was washed away by the rain. Only a little remnant remains between the gaps in the planks.
The heavy rain poured down, the wind was blowing, the water was surging, and the endless sea was undulating and surging.
There are still many rivers and lakes on the deck, or they are in a hurry to find a place to hide from the rain, occupying a small space in the cabin, and more people can only stay in the rain until the torrential rain is over.
Le Xiaoyi let the rain hit his face, and his vision became blurred in the rain.
Not only was her vision affected, but most of the smell of strangers in the environment was washed away by the rain. The strong smell of water interfered with her sense of smell, and the noisy rain also drowned out the noisy voices of people in the rivers and lakes, hindering her hearing. The environment suddenly became complicated in this rain.
At the same time, the sense of crisis has also increased several times.
Le Xiaoyi frowned, holding the sword in his hand tightly.
The sound of the rain seems to be mixed with the sound of slight footsteps. These steps are very light, and the person who comes here must have a higher level of cultivation.
Le Xiaoyi held his breath, and then there was another muffled groan not far away, two times in a row, presumably the few people who heard that sentence would not be spared.
The killing was still going on in the dark, silently, she let out a long breath, and shrank her body even tighter.
After a few breaths, the man's footsteps turned and started to approach Le Xiaoyi's location.
The heart of the person hiding in the dark sank. Even if she hid in this gap and remained motionless, someone had already noticed her whereabouts, like a pair of eyes observing everyone on board.
At this moment, her name is also on the must-kill list.
In fact, she didn't hear anything. Wouldn't it be unfair to be watched like this?
In the silence, Le Xiaoyi took an empty stomach to slander.
However, this person didn't give her much time to think, the next moment, a black shadow appeared outside the cargo box, and leaped towards Le Xiaoyi at an extremely fast speed.
This assassin's cultivation base was above the Soul Origin Realm, and he was dressed like an ordinary Jianghu man.
Le Xiaoyi grasped the sword in his hand tightly, making a frightened look.
In the next moment, the assassin's body in the air shook violently, and fell from the air for no reason, with a fatal wound in his throat.
It wasn't until the person landed on the deck with a muffled sound that Le Xiaoyi opened his eyes and shouted: "Which senior came to the rescue?"
There was no response to the question, and several people in the distance discovered that there was still a person hidden in the gap of the cargo box. They were shocked at first, and then discussed one after another, saying that Le Xiaoyi was lucky.
This vengeance seeker killed several people in a row, all of them were powerful characters, and now when he met Le Xiaoyi, he was rescued by a passing fairy, leaving one life behind.
This expert who killed assassins without showing up did not show up, only let out a cold snort, muffled, anyone could hear displeasure in his voice.
A little further away, Jian Shiliu received Wu Tuo's instructions, and immediately spread the news of what happened on the deck, embellishing Le Xiaoyi's innocence and the assassin's plot.
Panic began to spread, and it was destined not to be a peaceful night.
