Five headless corpses fell to the ground.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air.

In less than a moment, a group of people and horses came galloping in the distance, very fast. Judging from the decoration, they must be city guards.

One of them, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was wearing a black armor with a black metallic luster. He took a closer look and ordered everyone: "Carry the body out of the city!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, leader." Everyone lifted the body, and dark red blood was still seeping out from the broken part of the body. As the people slowly walked away from the city, it was scattered all over the ground.

The leader led the rest of the group and walked into the restaurant with their heads held high.

The door of the restaurant was kicked open, and a group of guards quickly entered and formed two rows, stamping on the ground with their spears.

The unexpected situation made the waiter in the store panic, and he immediately went to greet him.

Unexpectedly, before he could step forward, he was pushed away by the guard.

"Go, go, stay out of the way! Call your boss here."

The waiter in the shop didn't dare to disobey, so he left in a daze.

The middle-aged man cleared his throat and spoke in a high-pitched voice: "Just now, five people were killed at the door of the restaurant. I suspect the murderer is in the restaurant. After I question everyone one by one, those who are not suspected can leave. Now anyone

Don’t act rashly, anyone who violates this rule will be killed on the spot!”

The entire hall was still noisy just now, but now you could hear a pin drop. Almost all the people in the group of ten or so stopped what they were doing and looked at the middle-aged man in front of them.

"Hey! Isn't this Commander Ling?" A man stood up and staggered towards the guard leader, and then said: "My father is..."

Poof!

A sharp knife, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

"Isn't what I just said clear enough? Who you are and who your father is has nothing to do with me!"

Pfft, the knife was withdrawn, the man screamed twice and passed out.

"I'd like to repeat it once again. Anyone can stay here until I check them one by one and then leave!" After saying this, Commander Ling not only did not start the investigation, but instead pulled out a chair and walked across the room.

Lie on it, cross your legs, rock comfortably, and simply close your eyes and take a nap.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Commander Ling meant, but they couldn't express it clearly. The man lying on the ground was a living lesson.

Suddenly a man who was drinking alone stood up.

Everyone looked at them in surprise. Are there really people in this world who are not afraid of death?

The man was about twenty, handsome in appearance, dressed as a scholar, wearing a slightly loose white robe. He held a folding fan in his hand and opened it with a swish sound, revealing a painting of a beauty in the fan.

"Commander Ling, you are so majestic that all the people here are waiting for you alone." Although the man in white robes did not say anything to irritate him, there was obvious disdain in his tone.

oh?

Commander Ling suddenly opened his eyes and shot a sharp look at the man.

The man didn't look directly at him, and started to dance the folding fan in his hand leisurely.

boom!

Commander Ling, who was still sitting on the chair, suddenly disappeared, leaving the wooden chair shaking in place.

When everyone reacted, the scene in front of them made them

Amazed.

The man only held a sharp knife between his two fingers. Despite Commander Ling's ferocious expression, the sharp knife seemed to have been welded to death without making any progress.

Seeing this, Commander Ling wanted to draw his sword and return.

I saw the man's two fingers gently folding, and the sharp tip of the knife broke with a sound.

Commander Ling was indeed accustomed to licking blood from the edge of his knife. His reaction speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. He could pull away and distance himself, making the person in front of him invincible.

Just when he retreated to the crowd of guards and was secretly rejoicing, there was a whoosh, and a cold wind flashed across his face.

A strand of hair broke at the sound and floated down.

At the same time, a transverse wound appeared on the cheek, and the skin and flesh were rolled.

Commander Ling looked back and saw that the tip of the knife that had been broken just passed past his cheek and penetrated half a point into the column behind him. If the tip of the knife was off by even half a point, his hair would not have been chopped off.

His back felt cold and he couldn't help but touch his neck.

"Practitioner!" Commander Ling blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, the guards cast fearful looks and couldn't help but retreat towards the door.

"What? Are you scared?" The man in white robe walked lightly, approaching step by step.

"Your Excellency, we have no grievances. If you kill me, you will definitely not be able to escape!" Commander Ling said cautiously with cold sweat breaking out on his face.

"Then does he have any grudge against you?" The man in white robe pointed at the man lying on the ground and asked aggressively.

Commander Ling was speechless.

"If I had wanted to kill you just now, you would have turned into a corpse just like him. Now I give you one last chance!"

"Sir, what are your orders?"

The man in the white robe took out half a piece of sapphire from his waist. The shape of the sapphire was unique, and you could tell at a glance that there was another half.

"Just give this piece of green jade to the master of your 'Chengshan Mansion'. Remember to hand it over to him personally, otherwise I will have many ways to find you." The man in white robe paused for a moment, then said: "If you want to take advantage of this opportunity,

We can only wait for the next opportunity to extort money from the store. Now, do it immediately!" The man's voice couldn't help but become a bit colder.

Everyone did not dare to stay longer and ran away through the door at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

.....

Gold Rush City is like a pot of hodgepodge, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are many practitioners. In fact, Gold Rush City has a trading place and a living place for practitioners. However, with their mortal heights, they naturally have no access to things between practitioners, so they practice

In their eyes, they are existences that need to be looked up to.

There is no real owner of the Gold Rush City. The entire city is currently jointly controlled by two major forces. The two major forces (Guiyihui) and (Kaishan Sect) have been fighting for many years, losing troops and generals, and neither side has given in. Later, the two major gangs gradually realized that the Sandpiper Sect

The clams quarreled, and the fisherman gained. Therefore, years of fighting ended, and a temporary agreement was reached. After the recommendation of both parties, the security of the city was handed over to the jurisdiction of the emerging gang "Chengshanfu" that does not belong to any force.

Chengshan Prefecture is not having an easy time either. Surviving between the two major gangs, they are often faced with a life-or-death decision. Whichever side you choose may be destroyed at any time, so you can only develop your power secretly and quietly, hoping that by then the three pillars will be able to stand upright and be able to

Get a piece of it.

.....

After the man in white robe finished explaining the matter, he glanced around the hall and saw that no one around the hall dared to look at each other. They lowered their heads and remained silent as if avoiding the plague. Only a man sitting in the corner looked straight at him.

Looking at him, not only did he not avoid it, but there was also a look of admiration in his eyes.

The man in white robe spread out his spiritual consciousness to cover Lin Chenben, but he could not detect any fluctuations in spiritual power from Lin Chenben.

"Oh, you're just a mortal, it's interesting." The man in white robe was quite curious, but he couldn't stay too long now, so he rushed out of the door and disappeared into the night.

Everything that happened in the restaurant could not escape Lin Chenben's eyes. The man in white robe was the real murderer of the five men outside, and his method was extremely covert.

But none of this has anything to do with him. He came here just to inquire about information. But thanks to this man's action, he didn't have to expose himself. Otherwise, no one knew what would happen if the situation continued to develop.

Given the current situation in the restaurant, it's better to escape as soon as possible.

After the man in white went out, Lin Chenben left some broken silver and followed him out.

It was too early to leave for dawn at this time. The Fire Wolf Gang's auction was tomorrow, but he didn't know the specific time and place. He was hesitating whether to go or not.

There is no better place to go now. I have a general understanding of Gold Rush City. There are practitioners in both Huangsha Town and Gold Rush City. You need to be more cautious in the future. In this case, it is better to go back to the cave to practice and wait for dawn.

Later, we will go back to Jinlong Inn to wait for news about those two people.

Lin Chen walked slowly outside the city. A quarter of an hour later, he appeared in front of several stone tablets with the characters "Gold Rush City" engraved on them. At this time, the wind and sand outside were getting lighter, and the field of vision was obviously much wider.

Just want to call out Wuying.

Suddenly, changes occurred.

"do not move!"

A short knife with a cold light seemed to appear out of thin air, hanging in front of him, the tip of the knife facing his cheek.

There was rustling footsteps behind me.

Lin Chen didn't act rashly at all. He knew who it was without having to guess. He stood where he was without moving at all.

"Tell me, if you don't want to die, just tell me honestly, who sent you here?" A man's voice sounded from behind. He slowly approached Lin Chenben's back, and the short knife flashed, and the man's hand appeared. The man put the knife on it.

Above Lin Chenben's neck, it was only a hair away from his flesh.

"Ah, it turns out that you...are you the real murderer of those five people?" Lin Chenben's voice was slightly nervous.

"It's interesting. I'm just a mortal with such sharp eyesight. Now that you've figured out my identity, I can't keep you here." After saying this, the man was about to take action.

"Wait a minute! Young hero, please listen to me first. After listening, if young hero still wants to kill me, let me do whatever you want. A gentleman's words can't be chased by eight horses."

"Isn't it a four-horse horse? Why eight horses? If you don't tell the truth, I will cut off your tongue right now, believe it or not!"

"The young hero is very skilled in martial arts. He is the most powerful person I have ever seen. Can the young hero let go of the knife in his hand? If his hand slips accidentally, it will cost the villain's life. Besides, I
