Chapter 166 A handkerchief
"Huh? I didn't expect that you are a person who has the ability to do it. However, if you want to escape from us with this, it is a delusion. I advise you not to resist, hand over your property, and leave the carriage, and you two can leave."
The speaker was a one-eyed man, obviously the leader of these bandits. He heard the voice and the one who spoke before. Seeing this, he let out a light ejaculation, looked at Du Fan with a little surprise, then sneered and said sarcastically.
"snort!"
Du Fan was anxious at this time, but he had no time to talk nonsense with these bandits. He immediately waved his arm and a level 1-level water shadow sword suddenly appeared, mixed with the bitter cold wind, whistling towards the one-eyed man.
As soon as he saw this, the one-eyed man suddenly remembered something, but before he could show his horror, he was slashed at his neck by the blue sword shadow. In an instant, his head flew, bringing a thick blood column, and his body was different.
"Ah? A cultivator!"
Du Fan took action too quickly, and before the bandits could react, their bandit leader was killed by the other party. In horror, several people who had seen the world immediately thought of something, looked at Du Fan with fear, and screamed in shock.
Du Fan ignored these things and moved his body and was about to board the carriage again, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed, he turned around suddenly, stared at a man in a gray shirt holding a long sword, and his eyes instantly shot out a sharp light.
To be precise, Du Fan was not looking at this person, but a corner of silk cloth exposed on this person’s chest.
Du Fan's heart thumped, his face was extremely gloomy, and a murderous intent surged out instantly. He stared at the man in gray, suddenly raised his arm, spread his five fingers, and grabbed it hard.
The man in gray clothes suddenly felt his whole body tightening, as if he was shrouded invisible power. The next moment, in his scream, his whole body suddenly ejected from the spot and shot towards Du Fan like a meteor.
Just a flash, the man in gray-shirt appeared in front of Du Fan, and was tied to one hand by Du Fan and hung there in the air.
Seeing this, the other bandits were cold, their bodies were soft, and their legs were trembling violently. They were so scared that they forgot to escape. They just looked at Du Fan with a frightened look, hoping that the other party could be very compassionate and let him go.
"Master, Master, please spare me, please spare me. The villain just now had eyes, but no beads. Please, Master, please let me go. Master, please let me go. There is still some money here, here, give it all to..."
The man in blue clothes was strangled by Du Fan, perhaps because he was too tightly grasping him. His eyes were already covered in blood-red and slightly raised, but he did not dare to struggle and could only barely speak and beg for mercy.
Du Fan's eyes flashed coldly. Before the other party could finish speaking, his palm tightened slightly, causing the man in gray to stop his words. At the same time, his other hand reached the other party's chest and took out a pink handkerchief from it. He asked in a cold voice:
"Say, where did you get this handkerchief?"
"I said, I'll say..."
The man in blue was already desperate, but when he heard this, his bloody eyes immediately showed his spirit and said with difficulty.
"If you say a wrong word, die!" Du Fan loosened his palm, threw the man on the ground, and spoke gloomy.
"Yes! A month ago, when I was standing guard at the hill, I saw several immortals fighting in the air. They should be in two camps. I was worried that I would be seen by those immortals when I ran away, so I hid behind a rock...
The handkerchief fell from one of the women. Later, the woman and a young man were caught by one of the people and flew towards Jiangfeng Town.
It was not until long after they left that I came out and saw the handkerchief fabric topped with me. I put it away and planned to have the opportunity to go home once and give it to my wife at home..."
The man in gray clothes did not dare to hide anything, so he knelt on the ground and said in one breath what he saw that day.
"It seems that the people who were captured were Ruoxi and Xiaohu," Du Fan put away his handkerchief, frowned, and after a moment of silence, his eyes flashed, and continued to speak:
"What does fighting in the air mean? Are they standing on something?"
"No, they stood completely in the air, as if they could fly." The man in gray-clothed frowned and couldn't help but feel nervous. Seeing the other party asking, he hurriedly said.
"Well, you can leave."
Du Fan's expression had returned to normal, but his heart was very strong. According to what this person said, those people also had at least the cultivation level of the Golden Elixir Stage, and how could the powerful people in the Golden Elixir Stage capture Ruoxi and the others?
"Thank you, Master, Master..." The man in gray kowtowed for a few times, then crawled and rolled away.
Seeing this, the other bandits immediately felt like they were amnesty, no longer hesitated, and turned around and ran away.
Du Fan would not chase these bandits, so he took out some silver and comforted the coachman for a few words, then explained his direction to turn to Jiangfeng Town, while he himself shook his body and entered the carriage again.
Three days later, the carriage galloped to the edge of a very wide river. This river was named Wu Songjiang. The water surface was surging and magnificent. It is said that this river directly leads to the east edge sea.
Next, the carriage went down the river. After two days, Du Fan stood on the roof and could already see the outline of Jiangfeng Town.
After Du Fan paid the coachman a considerable amount of silver again, he beat him away. Along the way, Du Fan had already recorded the direction. Even if he returned, there was no need for this person to continue to lead the way.
In the effort of a cup of tea, Du Fan rushed to Jiangfeng Town under the passive action of the second-level divine movement technique.
A town of this size is just a slightly larger village in Zhongzhou. After entering Jiangfeng Town, Du Fan suddenly felt depressed.
Not only does this town cover a small area and is sparsely populated, but there are only a small half of the shops on both sides of the road and the doors and windows are locked. It is closed for business. Occasionally, one or two pedestrians walk around the street, looking listless.
In short, everything in Jiangfeng Town seemed a bit lifeless, even weird.
After spending an hour, Du Fan walked through the two main streets that run southeast, southwest and northwest of Jiangfeng Town. During this period, his divine thoughts kept spreading out and carefully observed them, but there was no special appearance.
Du Fan was anxious. According to the gray-shirted bandit, Ruoxi and Xiaohu were caught in Jiangfeng Town, it was already Yue Xu's time, so at this time, most of them were not here.
He came to Jiangfeng Town to try his luck. If he could find these two people directly and rescue them by chance, it would be better if he could save them by chance. But now it seems that this is no longer possible.
The second is to come here to explore, hoping to find some traces about Ruoxi and Xiaohu, and then make other plans.
"It is not a solution to continue blindly like this." Du Fan stopped in a crossroads and frowned.
Next, Du Fan went in and out of various stores and began to find out what happened recently.
Whether it is a tavern, inn, fabric shop, pork stall, or even a blacksmith shop, Du Fan did not leave any place to open and went in to ask, but after a whole day, he did not get any gains.
Until it was getting darker, Du Fan had no choice but to come to a tavern, sitting there, drinking absent-mindedly in the glass of wine, while listening to the conversation of four people at the other table.
"Brother Hu, have you heard that a few months ago, a wave of ferocious beasts from the sea suddenly came and attacked Taoyuan Town in the east. All the people in this town were killed overnight.
They were either swallowed by sea beasts or torn apart. In short, they were corpses everywhere, which was terrible.
It is said that because a large number of corpses were soaked in the sea water, the plague spread. Even though several surrounding villages were not attacked by sea beasts, they were still covered by the plague. Taoyuan Village is a radius of hundreds of miles and has now become a dead place."
A thin middle-aged man took a sip of wine and fear flashed in his eyes and couldn't help but speak.
"Sun Laosan, this matter is no longer a secret. No one in Jiangfeng Town knows. Whatever you said about this matter at this time is really disappointing!"
The man who was called Brother Hu was a slightly burly man. He glared at the sight of the words and said with some anger.
"Although Taoyuan Town is still thousands of miles away from us, Jiangfeng Town is connected to Wu Songjiang. If those sea beasts go up the river and attack us suddenly, we will all become meals in the belly of the sea beasts.
Why not let’s not take care of the old and young people in the family, and find a way to leave here.”
Sun Laosan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he whispered.
"Sun Laosan, you are crazy! If you want to run, you run by yourself. I will not leave my wife, children, and run away alone. Although Hu is not talented, he can't do such a bad thing."
Brother Hu was furious and immediately slapped the table and shouted in a low voice.
"Don't argue, Jiangfeng Town is nearly ten thousand miles away from the sea estuary, and it's not close to sea beasts. Besides, there has never been a precedent for sea beasts to attack here."
Another older man waved his hand impatiently and said.
"Wu Da, why do you deceive yourself? In Jiangfeng Town, whoever has some financial resources or is alone, hasn't he left one after another in the past few months and rushed to the big town or city to take refuge in the west?
Only our miserable life with family members will continue to stay here and leave it to fate."
The old man in gray robe who had not spoken before sighed, looked gloomy and said quietly.
"Sea beast? They should be talking about the monsters of the East Ocean Sea..."
After hearing this, Du Fan had already understood a little. What these people said should be the same as the two leaders of the Gusu City League. While Du Fan was thinking about it, his heart couldn't help but feel nervous.
