Chapter 15 The Line of Life and Death
At the main entrance of the courtyard, a middle-aged man in gray robe appeared with thick eyebrows and big eyes, showing majesty, and a thin layer of anger on his face at this time.
Du Fan was on the side of the attic and was not seen by the middle-aged man in gray robe, secretly calling for gratitude.
The man's figure blurred and appeared in front of the attic door the next moment. He did not knock on the door. He raised his feet and kicked the door open, causing the woman in the room to scream for life.
"Dad, why are you... you are here?" Wu Hao obviously did not expect this scene, and spoke in panic, a little at a loss.
"Why can't I come? Are the good things you did shameful?" The middle-aged man in gray robe snorted coldly and said angrily.
"Deacon Wu, I really love Senior Brother Wu, I..." The woman in the palace dress spoke tremblingly.
"Nephew Chu Qian, you are so ignorant of yourself. For the sake of Deacon Chu, I will regard you as not seeing what happened tonight." The middle-aged man shook his sleeves and turned around and carried the two of them on his back.
The room was quiet for the time being, and only the sound of the woman dressing was heard.
"Goodbye to my niece." After a while, Chu Qian tidied up her clothes, walked to the middle-aged man in trepidation, and walked out in panic.
Du Fan held his breath and did not dare to speak.
"Dad, at least you let me come in after I finish it." After Chu Qian left, Wu Hao felt a little depressed and had nowhere to ejaculate, and was very frustrated.
"Bastard, dare to talk to me like this!" Wu Hao's father glared at his eyes and said furiously.
"You don't know why you are here to take care of me today. Could it be that you really treat Yao Ruoxi as your daughter-in-law?" Wu Hao was a little puzzled.
"The girl of Yao family is only for sacrifice when you break through. I naturally don't care about her life or death. However, you and I are well-known in the Zishan Sect. Almost everyone in the sect knows that you are about to marry a woman from the Yao family. At this time, if your scandal is revealed, it will be extremely unfavorable to you. Even my reputation will be affected. Don't ruin a big deal, your middle-aged man's eyes shine and his expression becomes gloomy.
"Dad, are you going to do it? But the leader has a late-stage foundation building cultivation and his strength is unfathomable. Besides, if the ancestor knew about it, he would probably not let his father go. There are three other Golden Elders." Wu Hao was happy at first, then pondered and said with some concern.
"Hmph, what's the use of no matter how high the cultivation level is? If even his favorite disciples are my people and do some tricks in secret, then he will not be able to make the world come back. As for the ancestor and the three elders, you don't have to worry. They had gone out secretly half a month ago and would not come back within a year. When they come back, the overall situation has been decided. No matter who is the head of this sect, as long as this person is from the Zishan Sect and has the ability to spread my sect, the ancestor and the elder will not mind who will take charge of the position of the head. When I, Wu Cangyuan, take over the power of the Zishan Sect, then you can be at will." After Wu Cangyuan said, he smiled proudly.
"But even if the leader falls, there are more than dads who are qualified to inherit the leader, and there are other deacons. Have you considered this? Don't make wedding dresses for others." Wu Hao had calmed down and spoke in detail.
"Although there are dozens of foundation-building figures in my school, now I am in the sect and are qualified to compete for it, there are only a few people. At this time, it depends on their own means and forces, especially this force, not only within the sect, but also outside. This is another important reason why I am eager to marry the daughter of the Yao family. The Yao family is naturally not worth mentioning in my Zishan School on weekdays, but at a critical moment, it is also a bargaining chip to measure strength. So at this critical moment, you, a little brat, don't make trouble for me. Be patient. Wait until the big thing is settled, and you can do whatever you want." Wu Cangyuan glared at his eyes and reminded in a deep voice.
"Yes, Dad, don't worry, Hao'er knows the importance of it, but I have seen that old guy from the Yao family. This person is not only scheming, but also me can't see through his cultivation. Dad, should you pay attention?" Wu Hao agreed in full, and finally thought of something and said solemnly.
"You can't see through anything strange. He started trying to build foundation decades ago. It was me who secretly acted, and he worked with his brother Yao Lingtian to disturb him. At the critical moment of his advancement, otherwise whether he is a foundation-building cultivator at this time is still a matter of two. If it were normal, it would not matter if he had left his life, but at this critical moment, it would not be possible to live in a critical period. After you marry Yao Ruoxi, I will start to get rid of this person and support Yao Lingtian as the head of the Yao family. That would be foolproof." Wu Hao's eyes flashed coldly and his words were cold.
As the two talked, Du Fan's heart became colder and colder. At this time, the back was even colder, and his breathing was hindered. His fingers accidentally shook.
"Who is it!" A sudden shout suddenly said, Wu Cangyuan's expression changed drastically, and at the same time, an invisible spiritual thought swept out wildly.
Du Fan was shocked and didn't even want to touch the legs of his trouser with one hand. He lifted it again and a dagger appeared in his hand.
This dagger was the spoils found on him after killing the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. Hu Daniu saw that his grade was extraordinary and asserted that it was made of fine iron, so he gave it to Du Fan for self-defense.
At this moment, Du Fan suddenly inserted the dagger into the edge of his heart without hesitation. Blood light splattered, and the dagger instantly penetrated into Du Fan's body, revealing the handle of the knife outside, and the blade was only half an inch away from the heart.
At the same time, Du Fan suddenly shouted, kicked his legs hard, and shot his body backwards, lying backwards in the air.
There was a sound of breaking through the air in the void ahead of Du Fan, and then another condensed. A middle-aged man in gray robe suddenly appeared outside the attic, staring at Du Fan who was in the air, narrowing his eyes.
With a "boom", Du Fan fell heavily to the ground, bringing up some dust around him.
"Dad, what's wrong? Hey, you are the manager of the Yao family, Du Fan!" It was not until this time that Wu Hao appeared outside in his coat. After he saw Du Fan clearly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Say, what's going on? If you make a mistake, you will die!" Wu Cangyuan stared at Du Fan and spoke coldly.
"Master, the villain is Du Fan, the manager of the Yao family. He was ordered by the head of the Yao family to escort Ling Herbs to the Zishan Sect. Because it was getting late, a master arranged for us to stay here for one night and asked me to leave tomorrow morning. At night, the villain could not sleep and was convenient for a walk in the yard. At this time, a masked man in black was wandering outside my courtyard. Judging from his appearance, he was extremely unfamiliar with the terrain of the Zishan Sect. I concluded that this person was not from the Zishan Sect, and it was very likely to be unfavorable to the Zishan Sect. I followed this person all the way, trying to find an opportunity to warn the Zishan Sect, but after I got here, he accidentally appeared by that person. He stabbed me with this dagger and disappeared." Du Fan vomited blood, his face was pale and panicked, but he insisted on telling the matter, his expression was not as fake.
A cold light flashed in Wu Hao's eyes. Just when he was about to say something, Wu Cangyuan waved his hand to stop it. After a gloomy face, his palm suddenly raised to Du Fan. With another move, the dagger in the other party's chest disappeared without a trace. The next moment, a light flashed and appeared in Wu Cangyuan's hand and looked at it in a stare.
"Ah!" Before a scream could come out of Du Fan's mouth, Wu Cangyuan frowned, and with his other hand, he quickly pinched his fingers with one hand, and then swung forward. A transparent air shield appeared out of thin air in the void around Du Fan, which isolated his screams and did not spread.
"This is... the dagger of the Black Tiger Gang!" Wu Cangyuan's eyes flashed and he concluded.
"Black Tiger Gang? This is a sub-power in Tianxiang Country. The gang leader and several deputy gang leaders are both cultivators, but their cultivation is not high, and they are all below the first level of Qi refining. They are affiliated with the Thunder Cloud Sect. Dad, this matter is a bit complicated." Wu Hao was already a pride of the Zishan Sect and his mind was quick, and he thought of a possibility in an instant.
"When did you arrive here?" Wu Changyuan looked at Du Fan after a long time of silence.
"The villain just followed him here and was caught by the other party, coughing..." Du Fan said honestly, and then coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Wu Cangyuan nodded, flipped his hand, and a yellow pill appeared out of thin air in his palm. In an instant, a fragrance dissipated and opened. With a trembling wrist, the pill shot straight towards Du Fan and flashed. After a flash, it disappeared into Du Fan's mouth.
Before Du Fan could react, the pill slid into his abdomen along his throat. As soon as he entered the abdomen, the pill immediately dissolved and turned into a stream of heat that spread throughout the spleen and stomach, making Du Fan extremely comfortable. The knife wound on his chest healed quickly at a level visible to the naked eye, and a slight numbness and itchy feeling was heard.
Du Fan showed a look of joy on his face, struggled to get up, and gave a deep salute to Wu Changyuan.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Okay, there is nothing you have to do here. The pill I just gave you just to compensate for your merits tonight. If you leave, you must not wander." Wu Changyuan said lightly without expression.
"Yes, the villain took his leave." Du Fan looked respectful and even more grateful, and turned around and left.
"Dad, do you really believe his words?" After Du Fan disappeared, Wu Hao spoke in confusion.
"This person's words are mostly true. This dagger is indeed a Black Tiger Gang. In addition, you didn't notice that this dagger is less than half an inch away from that person's heart. The murderer obviously wanted to kill this person, but he accidentally failed. The Leiyun Sect was in conflict with my Zishan Sect for many years, and it was not impossible to send someone to secretly spy my Zishan Sect. He just sent only a low-level person, and even ordinary mortals were not stalked." Wu Cangyuan frowned and pondered.
"So should I report this matter to the relevant deacons in the sect?" Wu Hao hesitated.
"No, I have other plans for this matter. Just take care of yourself in these days. Remember, you can't make a fuss to deal with the Yao family. I don't want the old fox to be alert." Wu Cangyuan solemnly ordered and turned around and left.
"Great send off my father." After Wu Cangyuan disappeared, Wu Hao's eyes shone brightly. Every time he thought of the scene where Yao Ruoxi pleaded for Du Fan and asked him to test his spiritual roots for him that day, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He wanted Du Fan to die, and he died miserably.
