Xuanxia

Chapter 1019 Dark Shadow
Yuan Chen's idea was to interrogate each person separately while quietly heading to Fuhe Province...

Fu Qingzhou, Wu Yan, Tang Jiao and other members of the Xuan League, together with a group of children from aristocratic families, were broken up into small teams, disguised as farmers, caravans, escort vehicles, etc., and rushed to Fuhe Province in batches.

As for Fu Qingzhou, probably because the character he played had a high level of cultivation, there was no one else in the entire team except him, and they were all arranged by Yuan Chen.

They disguised themselves as a small caravan, with silk being pulled on the carriage. Fu Qingzhou was dressed as a merchant, and the others were guards.

The purpose of doing this is that everyone else can have weapons, but he doesn't...

"Go ahead, Oda."

Yuan Chen sat in the carriage and looked at Fu Qingzhou coldly: "Your men have confessed that you have already sided with Mingjian Pavilion. They promised you benefits. If you confess honestly now, you still have a chance to keep your life."

Tian Lieyang is the name of the middle-aged man played by Fu Qingzhou.

"You're using the prisoner's dilemma to trick me? Such a low-level trick?"

He laughed in his heart, but his face was tense and he said nothing.

"You haven't said it yet?"

Yuan Chen sneered, "Don't think I'm lying to you! We've investigated and found that you were captured by the rebels, but you didn't escape at all. You were even taken to the capital! You had no chance to rescue people, let alone get intelligence and ambush the Mingjian Pavilion on the way to the prisoner's car!"

“Oh…I see.”

Fu Qingzhou whispered: "You guys are quite capable."

"Admit it?" Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes fiercely: "Now..."

When he was halfway through his words, Fu Qingzhou suddenly raised his head, with an inexplicable strange light in his eyes!

"I, Tian Lieyang, have never betrayed you."

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "The evidence you have investigated is all used by Mingjian Pavilion and the righteous army to confuse you, in order to provoke civil strife in our family."

Chant the mantra!

This was the magic that Long Dabei used not long ago when he used up his last bit of spiritual power to break the Righteous Energy and Spirit Method.

Fu Qingzhou once thought about using the soul-stealing spell to control Yuan Chen, but he was not sure where Yuan Chen would go after he went to Fuhe Province.

Although the Soul-Capture Spell is easy to use, once you are away from the controlled object for too long or too far away, it will always fail even if your cultivation is much higher than that of the other party... Or, you can use a strong dose and take a gamble, but in this way, the old man Yuan Chen's soul may be destroyed by yourself, which will also cause trouble and suspicion.

In this case, the mantra of Yan Di is the most perfect move.

Is there any better way to stealthily make the other party believe in you unconditionally than this?

In the past, Fu Qingzhou’s cultivation was not enough and using this move would probably result in great losses, but now... he is not as good as before.

The moment he finished speaking, a hint of confusion flashed across Yuan Chen's eyes for a very short moment.

But soon, the old man's eyes became clear.

"I see!"

He said solemnly, "Is this all a conspiracy of Mingjian Pavilion... Xiaotian, we were offended before, but we had no choice but to do it for the sake of our family."

"Mr. Chen, your words are too serious."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "If I were in your position, I would do the same."

"Don't worry, you have made great contributions this time, and the family will not treat you unfairly."

There was no longer any doubt or indifference in Yuan Chen's eyes. Instead, he showed relief and emotion. He patted Fu Qingzhou on the shoulder and said, "I will pass the message on. Others don't have to be interrogated anymore."

"Thank you, Elder Chen."

Fu Qingzhou bowed his head and clasped his fists: "If there is anything else you need me to do, just let me know."

"Hmm..." Yuan Chen nodded: "Although this is the territory of the rebels, this area is relatively safe... But after passing Luoyi and going west for a while, the rebels' sphere of influence will be very large. It will be very troublesome for us to pass through them and return to Fuhe. You can think of a solution together then."

"Okay." Fu Qingzhou responded.

Yuan Chen turned around and got out of the carriage, and their small "caravan" continued to move forward.

Fu Qingzhou sat in the carriage and smiled. The noble families probably never thought that he, a Cave Heaven Realm fighter, would come and lurk with them, right?
Sure enough, what Tang Jiao and I said was right. This mission was so simple...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, his heart suddenly tightened, and some kind of warning sign suddenly grew wildly in his heart!
At the same time, a group of "guards" outside the carriage shouted: "Who is it?"

Fu Qingzhou had a bad feeling in his heart, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

At this time, their small caravan was walking on the official road. It was dusk and there were not many other people on the official road. At least as far as Fu Qingzhou could perceive, there was only their small caravan within a few miles.

What this sentence means is that Fu Qingzhou also did not sense... the presence of an enemy!

But at this moment, a black shadow was actually moving through the convoy!
The guards who were swept by it fell down one after another, screaming, and then blood spurted from their necks and they fell to the ground with a bang!

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank suddenly!
He has now seen the black shadow, but in his perception, this person does not exist at all!

The opponent was more ferocious than a ghost, more elusive than a shadow, with an astonishingly fast speed, and his moves were extremely quick and decisive, never using a second knife to kill. In the blink of an eye, half of their team had fallen, while the others were still staring with wide eyes, trying to keep up with the speed of the black shadow...

Fu Qingzhou took a breath of cold air!

Who is this? !
Why did the other party come to attack and kill this team?

Were they from the Xuanmeng or the Righteous Army? Did they sense that this was a team of noble families and took action?
Or was it simply someone from the aristocratic family who did this? Did they discover me?
Fu Qingzhou sat silently in the carriage and did not take action immediately.

He was not worried that the death of Yuan Chen and others would affect his infiltration plan - with his abilities, he had plenty of ways to sneak into the Yuan family and did not need to rely on Yuan Chen. Even if everyone here died, he had other ways.

He wanted to see who this dark shadow was and what it wanted to do.

Just as Fu Qingzhou was thinking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yuan Chen crawled in with blood all over his head!
"Xiaotian, help, help!"

He roared hoarsely, his eyes full of panic and fear, and stretched out his hand towards Fu Qingzhou - that hand was broken at the wrist.

Then, before Fu Qingzhou could say anything, Yuan Chen was suddenly pulled out of the carriage!

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

The screams outside the carriage just began and then stopped abruptly. Then it immediately became extremely quiet and peaceful. If it were not for the strong smell of blood, it would seem as if nothing had happened.

However, Fu Qingzhou calmed down at this time.

When this black shadow appeared, I was completely unaware of it and overestimated the opponent's strength.

Now it seems that it will take some effort for this black shadow to kill Yuan Chen, so how could he be his opponent?
and……

Now, after a few breaths, all the people outside were dead, and the curtain of the carriage was still not opened. Only the bloodstains left by the broken arm when Yuan Chen was dragged away extended outward.

Fu Qingzhou didn't say anything either, he just waited silently.

But the strange thing is that after a long time, there is still no movement.

Fu Qingzhou frowned.

gone?

Killing everyone around you but ignoring yourself?
He did not wait any longer, but stood up and got out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage, all the horses were alive, pacing aimlessly in place.

The ground was littered with dead bodies, including Yuan Chen. Except for him, all the others had been stabbed in the throat with a sharp weapon. Only Yuan Chen had a broken arm and several wounds on his head. However, it could be seen that what ultimately killed him was a stab through the heart with a sharp weapon.

And that dark shadow has disappeared.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, jumped off the carriage, squatted down beside Yuan Chen, and opened the wound.

It's a sword wound...

In the hot late summer, the breeze brings a cool chill.

No... this coolness doesn't come from the wind!
Fu Qingzhou opened Yuan Chen's wound a little more, but he saw that deep in the sword wound, the deep red flesh and blood was covered with ice chips!

His breathing stagnated slightly and he looked at the other corpses around him.

I saw that the wounds on the throats of the corpses were gradually covered with ice and a cool mist was generated...
