People were coming and going on both sides of the river, bustling with people, but there was no one who needed special attention.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Wei Tao had already stood up and came directly to the window.

"I just saw a person, and his back seemed to be an old friend of my master's sect."

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, calming down his mind.

"Daozi is here to taste the delicacies. I need to go over and confirm to see if he is really my former senior brother, or if I am confused and mistaken."

"You go ahead and don't worry about me." Ni Hao nodded and began to concentrate on the fish in front of him.

The next moment, Wei Tao jumped down from the building without any hesitation or hesitation.

"Xiaopan hasn't come back yet?"

In a somewhat dilapidated courtyard on the edge of Chishan City, Master Zhou picked up a bowl of medicinal soup and drank it slowly, then touched his chest and coughed violently.

A young man served tea and replied in a low voice, "Teacher, the senior brother has not come back yet."

Master Zhou was silent for a moment and sighed, "Have you packed everything?"

"Everything is packed. We can set off right away as soon as Senior Brother comes back from buying medicines."

Master Zhou nodded, looked up at the night sky that was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the worry between his brows became heavier and heavier.

The cool night wind blew in, and he couldn't help but feel a deep chill.

"Teacher, don't worry. Senior brother is always alert and careful. Those people shouldn't notice him when he goes out this time. Maybe it's just that some medicines are more difficult to buy, which delayed a little time."

The named disciple put away the medicine bowl and whispered words of comfort.

Master Zhou closed his eyes and sighed secretly again.

My mind wandered involuntarily, and I returned to that bloody and terrifying snowy night.

At that time, they rushed back outside Cangyuan City and met the city defense troops stationed in the village. They thought they had finally put the danger behind them, but unexpectedly, it was the beginning of the greatest crisis.

They completely did not expect that the city defense army would take action directly and would not stop until they were wiped out and killed.

After a bloody battle, he managed to escape with his disciples, even though his foundation was damaged and he was seriously injured.

After narrowly escaping several waves of subsequent pursuits, he finally arrived at the shore of Mingshui River and left the ground of Cangyuan City.

Next, they didn't dare to continue taking the land route, so they found a merchant ship that was returning with goods. They collected all their money and gave it to the ship owner, so they got the chance to take the ship.

They went all the way south along the Ming River until they crossed the entire Qizhou, and finally settled down temporarily in Chishan City.

According to Master Zhou's original idea, Chishan City is far away from Cangyuan and is the base of the Nine Saint Sect of the martial arts sect. It should be safer no matter what, allowing everyone to stay and recuperate.

But in fact, it backfired.

It took a few months for him to settle down in the beginning, and he even planned to reopen a martial arts school here to specially accept young people who could not be admitted by the Nine Saint Sect, so as to make a stable living.

Who would have expected that the good times would not last long.

Just ten days ago, Master Zhou and Tan Pan were helping foreign merchants escort supplies outside Chishan City. They encountered someone who wanted to buy and sell by force, and even molested the merchant's daughter.

After a fight, those people were injured and fled.

The result was that he offended the children of the Xu family in Chishan.

Even the merchants who were protected by them soon turned against them and joined the disciples of the Xu family, throwing all the blame on their heads.

They even spread rumors that Tan Pan had evil intentions and touched the merchant's daughter with the intention of raping her.

Faced with this situation, Master Zhou had to bow his head and come to apologize.

Even if someone hurts him, he can only swallow his anger and hide.

I just hope that I can leave this place as soon as possible and avoid the unwillingness of the Xu family in Chishan.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

The courtyard door was pushed open.

Tan Pan staggered a little and walked in carrying a package.

"teacher."

He looked ashamed, "My disciple spent all his money, but he failed to buy all the medicines he should have bought."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I come back safely."

Master Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I have asked them to pack their luggage and prepare to leave when you come back."

Tan Pan frowned and hesitated, "Disciple went out at night and found many people from the Xu family outside.

In this case, it's better for us to hide here, but if we go out, we may easily be exposed."

"Are there many people from the Xu family outside?"

Master Zhou also changed his expression, "The Xu family has deep roots in the Nine Saint Sect. If they make such a big move, they probably won't do it just for us..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent.

He looked up at the small courtyard shrouded in darkness.

Quietly, several figures jumped over the wall and entered.

It firmly blocked the way for everyone in the Red Line Sect.

"The old man does have a keen mind."

A man in black raised his head and said with a cold smile, "Our Xu family is running rampant in Chishan, so of course we can't go to war over you little mice.

But for the Fourth Young Master, torturing you ignorant people to death is his greatest pleasure these days."

"Are you following me!?"

Tan Pan stopped in front of Master Zhou, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Following you?"

The man in black laughed.

"A few little mice thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know that every move they made would fall into the eyes of the Fourth Young Master.

The reason why we didn't take action is that the Fourth Young Master got interested and wanted to play a game of cat and mouse with his newly acquired concubine."

He smiled and smiled, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Today, a distinguished guest from the Xu family is here, and he is from a high-ranking sect.

The Fourth Young Master doesn't have the time to play with you anymore, so he ordered us to close the net and kill people.

I didn’t expect you idiot to be so naive that you thought we were following you and discovered your hiding place?”

Tan Pan was speechless and confused.

"Elder brother, they are indeed not following you."

Suddenly, a gentle and clear man's voice sounded from behind the man in black and slowly reached Tan Pan's ears.

"The one who is really stalking Senior Brother is actually Junior Brother."

The expressions of several men in black changed and they stepped aside, revealing a figure standing there at some unknown time.

Under the eaves in front of some dilapidated houses, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the registered disciples of the Hongxian Sect, but all of them disappeared immediately.

Even some unbearable expressions appeared on their faces.

They had offended the Chishan Xu family, which was deeply rooted even in the Nine Saint Sect. Even Master Zhou and Senior Brother Tan were no match. Now that the Seventh Senior Brother had arrived, it was just one more person to die.

Tan Pan suddenly came back to his senses from his daze.

His mouth opened wide and his voice was like murmuring in a dream, "Junior Brother Xiaoqi, am I dreaming? How could it be you?"

But Master Zhou slapped the armrest of the wooden chair suddenly and said in a very cold voice, "Who are you? What are you doing breaking into my yard? I don't know you at all!"

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

"It's been a long time since I heard my teacher swearing at someone. I felt so cordial for a while, and made my disciples feel so moved. It seemed like I was back in the past, practicing hard in the inner courtyard of the martial arts school."

Wei Tao smiled and bowed.

"Disciple Wei Qi, pay your respects to the teacher."
