The cold wind was howling and the sky and the earth were pitch black.
I was left on the official road, in the dim light of sight. A woman in a red dress stood on the carriage, her hands behind her back, her tall figure looking as if it would be blown away by the cold wind at any moment.
Beneath the alluring posture, there was a hint of playfulness in that beautiful face.
"What?"
"What does the Great Elder think?"
The red lips opened slightly, like a cold north wind that fiercely bit the elder.
The Great Elder's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took a step back.
He sensed danger.
He sensed a hint of murderous intent from the woman in front of him.
She wants to kill him?
When this thought came to mind, the Great Elder's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
I was extremely alert.
Now he was in the wilderness, and his internal energy was almost exhausted. If Liu Su wanted to kill him, he would be unable to cope.
"Liu Su!"
The Great Elder spoke in a low, stern voice, "As members of the Celestial God Cult, we should help each other and assist the Cult Master in accomplishing his great cause..."
Unexpectedly, Liu Su's eyes were filled with sarcasm and her tone was contemptuous: "Help each other?"
"Great Elder, don't you think that these words coming out of your mouth are too hypocritical?"
The elder's heart suddenly sank: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask the Great Elder..."
Liu Su glanced at him and smiled: "If our roles were reversed today, what would you do?"
Role reversal?
The Great Elder suddenly looked up and stared at Liu Su.
He and Liu Su had always been at odds, fighting openly and covertly for years, and had often tripped each other up behind the scenes. If it was Liu Su who was in such a mess today, he...
I will never show mercy!
Thinking of this, the Great Elder's pupils suddenly shrank and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
"You want to kill me?"
The Great Elder had an extremely ugly expression on his face and stared at Liu Su.
"The Great Elder has misunderstood. Why would I want to kill you?"
Liu Su's expression was still relaxed, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes seemed colder than the cold wind between heaven and earth.
"The Great Elder was attempting to assassinate Prince Lin but was accidentally ambushed. To protect the others, he engaged in a fierce battle with the Prince's surrounding experts, becoming encircled and ultimately exhausted, ultimately sacrificing his life..."
"Do you think this sounds better?"
Liu Su still had a smile on her face, but the elder's eyes were extremely vicious.
How could he not realize the meaning of Liu Su's words?
She wants to kill herself?
Want to frame Prince Lin for his death? !
The Great Elder was furious: "Liu Su, you and I are colleagues in the Celestial God Sect, yet you want to kill me. Are you crazy?"
Liu Su showed a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Great Elder, there is no one else here, why do you keep saying such hypocritical words?"
"You can only blame your bad luck for falling into the hands of this Saint Lady this time."
"snort!"
The Great Elder's face turned ashen. At this moment, his internal energy was severely depleted and he was at his weakest. Liu Su noticed this.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
"I've made note of this account!"
The Great Elder glanced at Liu Su coldly, and the next second, he suddenly retreated and fled into the darkness.
In his current state, he could never be Liu Su's opponent.
withdraw!
Let’s leave this place first.
Just as the Great Elder turned around and ran away, Liu Su also moved.
The red-clothed figure leaped from the carriage and chased after the Great Elder, who had fled into the darkness. At the same time, she waved her sleeves, and several sharp hidden weapons pierced the darkness, whistling away.
The great elder who turned around and ran away noticed the danger coming from behind him. His whole body tensed up, his face changed slightly, and he rolled over and hid in a panic.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
In the darkness, the sharp hidden weapons fell on the jungle trees behind him, making a series of crackling explosions.
At the same time, several sturdy trees in front of the Great Elder collapsed.
The Great Elder's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart felt cold.
Vicious!
This woman's attack was so fierce.
If I had been hit by this hidden weapon just now, I would have been seriously injured or half dead!
Thinking of this, the Great Elder no longer had any desire to fight. In terms of martial arts strength, he was indeed superior to Liu Su.
But this woman's progress was too rapid. At such a young age, her martial arts skills were already catching up with his. Although the two had never fought before, the Great Elder could feel the pressure Liu Su brought to him.
This woman's martial arts skills were not much weaker than the woman in white beside Lin Jiangnian. If he was not in peak condition, he might not take her seriously.
But now, the Great Elder could only flee in embarrassment.
Behind him, Liu Su was chasing closely.
The Great Elder's martial arts skills are only one tenth of what they used to be. More importantly, he has no helpers around him. This place is desolate, with no one living nearby. It is pitch dark when you stretch your hand out in front of you. It is simply the perfect place for murder and arson!
Tonight is the day he dies!
In the darkness, two figures shuttled through the jungle, and Liu Su followed closely behind, pressing forward step by step.
The Great Elder fled in panic, stumbling through the jungle. But he was exhausted, a day and night of fleeing had taken its toll on him. With his strength at his last gasp, Liu Su easily caught up with him in a short while.
The moment he got closer, a fierce gust of wind blew towards the Great Elder.
The Great Elder showed fear on his face and raised his hand to block.
"Bang!"
A strong wind swept across the Great Elder, knocking him five or six meters away. He fell to the ground with a thud and struggled to get up in a panic.
There were a few traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.
The Great Elder's body was in turmoil, his breathing was rapid, and he struggled to get up, looking up at the familiar cold figure in the dark jungle.
cold!
Filled with murderous intent!
The Great Elder's heart suddenly sank.
Can't run away!
How could he escape from Liu Su's clutches when he was exhausted now?
But what else can I do if I don’t run?
He is now exhausted and his body is empty. How can he be a match for Liu Su who is in peak condition?
Dead end!
The Great Elder looked ashen.
He covered his chest and gritted his teeth, saying, "Liu Su, are you crazy?"
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you kill me?!"
"The Heavenly God Sect strictly prohibits internal fighting. If you harm your fellow disciples, you will become the enemy of the entire Heavenly God Sect, and the Sect Leader will not let you go..."
The Great Elder was timid but appeared to be a threat.
Liu Su's face remained calm. She slowly approached, stopping a few steps in front of the Great Elder and sneered softly, "Great Elder, neither you nor I are fools. Have you truly followed all the rules of the sect?"
"Besides..."
Liu Su said lightly, "This place is deserted. If you die, who will know it was done by me?"
"You don't think there's anyone else who can pass the message back?"
The Great Elder's face was pale and he was extremely frightened.
How could he not know this?
It was because of this that Liu Su dared to attack him. If he died here, who would know who killed him?
Even more, most of the sect would think that he died at the hands of Lin Jiangnian, while the real murderer, Liu Su, was still at large.
What a perfect way to shift the blame!
Thinking of this, the Great Elder's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"What a calculation, what a calculation!"
The Great Elder stared at her intently, "So, I'm doomed today?"
Liu Su's expression was indifferent: "If it were you, would you let me live?"
The Great Elder remained silent.
The answer is obvious. If it were him, he would never let Liu Su live.
How could he let go of such a golden opportunity?
"Since we are from the same sect, this Saint will give you a decent chance!"
Liu Su looked quietly at the elder, whose face had already lost all color, and said calmly, "You should commit suicide."
The Great Elder was silent, looked down at his own disheveled self, and slowly closed his eyes.
He knew there was no way out!
Meeting Liu Su in the wilderness is already a dead end!
Maybe, this is fate!
He didn't die at Lin Jiangnian's hands, but died at her hands.
The Great Elder is unwilling to accept this!
But, what can we do?
After a long silence, the Great Elder slowly stretched out his hand and tremblingly slapped his head.
Suicide was his chance to die in a dignified way.
Just as the Great Elder was about to slap him on the head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes the next second.
Fury suddenly surged.
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
A sharp voice sounded, and at the same time, the Great Elder suddenly jumped up.
The figure disappeared from the spot and turned into a fireball and attacked Liu Su.
Even if he dies, he wants to die together with Liu Su!
The Great Elder's expression was extremely ferocious.
Raid!
The sudden attack came towards Liu Su like a last hurrah.
However, just as he was about to pounce on Liu Su, Liu Su suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The Great Elder's pupils shrank, and the next second, his body paused.
He lowered his head and saw that his heart had been pierced by something, and blood was flowing out slowly.
He felt no pain, his whole body seemed numb, and he turned his head stiffly.
Behind him, Liu Su stood quietly.
"I've known you for so many years. Do you really think that I don't understand you?"
The voice was soft and contained a hint of mockery.
There was a hint of a playful smile on that cold face, as if mocking him for overestimating his own abilities.
The Great Elder was very angry!
But he could no longer be angry. His whole body seemed cold and stiff, unable to move.
Then, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Die with eyes open.
The great elder of the Celestial God Sect died here.
Liu Su, the instigator, watched the scene quietly, indifferent.
After a moment's silence, she took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and poured the water in the bottle on the body of the great elder.
After a while, the Great Elder's body began to dissolve, and his face was completely disfigured. A foul smell filled the air.
Liu Su frowned slightly, then slowly turned and left.
Just as she turned around, a fire suddenly ignited on the grass behind her. It was just a flame at first, igniting the dry grass nearby. The flames gradually grew larger, quickly engulfing the surrounding area. Soon, they enveloped the remains of the Great Elder, engulfed in a blazing fire.
On the official road, Ling'er was waiting anxiously.
Not until she saw the figure of the Saint appear in the distance did she quickly chase after her: "Saint!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked up behind the Saint Girl and said with great concern: "The Great Elder..."
"Dead."
Liu Su's answer was calm and composed.
Ling'er's heart skipped a beat. The Great Elder is dead?!
Died at the hands of the Saint? !
Although she already had the answer, Ling'er was still stunned for a long time.
The great elder who had always been against the saint died just like that?
Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she became nervous.
"Saintess, the Great Elder is dead! What about the leader?"
"No problem."
Liu Su looked indifferent as she glanced at the two people beside the carriage.
These two were also members of the Celestial God Cult and were her closest confidants. Apart from them, there was no one else here.
No outsiders knew the truth behind the Great Elder's death.
"Let's go."
Liu Su spoke lightly and got on the carriage.
Ling'er followed Liu Su and asked in a puzzled voice, "Saint, where are we going now?"
"go back."
"go back?"
Ling'er was puzzled: "Where to go back?"
"Earth Pony Town!"
Liu Su glanced out the window, with a hint of joy and hope in her cold eyes.
It seems that he can't wait.
The carriage slowly returned.
Behind him was a fire that was gradually burning. With the help of the cold autumn night wind, it was getting bigger and bigger and spreading continuously!
A huge fire swept across the mountains!
…
Lu Ma Town.
Inn.
After resting for two nights in Luma Town, Lin Jiangnian was ready to continue on his journey.
At this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.
Shen Lingjun.
Ms. Shen suddenly visited the inn and found Lin Jiangnian.
"Let's talk."
"Chat?"
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised and puzzled: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Lingjun took a deep breath, hiding the emotion in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about Miss Yingying!"
You were shouting at him to kill him yesterday, but today you suddenly come over and calmly say you want to talk to him?
There's something wrong with her.
Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down, and seemed to understand something.
This heroine's reaction is not right today. I guess she has some bad ideas again?
I don't know if this was a trap set by the kite on purpose?
However, Lin Jiangnian did not appreciate it.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about? Tell me."
Lin Jiangnian's tone was playful.
Shen Lingjun stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time, as if hesitating about something. After a long time, he turned his head away somewhat unnaturally and said silently: "How did Miss Yingying die?"
"Don't you already know?" Lin Jiangnian said lightly.
"I don't believe it!" Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth.
"If you don't believe me, why do you come and ask me?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
Shen Lingjun was discouraged and realized that she had asked a nonsense question.
He was silent again, then continued through gritted teeth: "Miss Yingying is not that kind of person!"
"How do you know?"
"She doesn't look like it!"
"You can judge whether a person is good or bad just by looking at him. What else do we need the government for in this world?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
Shen Lingjun was speechless and couldn't say anything for a moment.
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and asked, "Do you think this prince is a bad person?"
Although she was unwilling in her heart, Shen Lingjun had to admit that what this bastard prince said was indeed right.
However, she was still unwilling to believe that the kind-hearted and weak girl Yingying would commit the act of assassinating the Prince of Lin.
Miss Yingying is such a kind person, how could she do such a thing?
"How do you know Miss Yingying was an accomplice in your assassination?"
"Of course I found out."
"How did you find out?"
Lin Jiangnian took a sip of tea and glanced at her.
"It seems that I have no obligation to explain this to you, right?"
“…”
