The cliffs in the valley are a different world.

It turned out to be a warm room with branches and vines of ancient trees, like twisted beards.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Please forgive me, young master! I will definitely make amends! I will never do it again! "

But what answered him was a knife cutting his body apart.

In the mist of tea, the white-haired old man smashed the teacup and shouted angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me? When I was fighting for the master of the family, your mother was just a lowly maid who sold her smiles!!"

Shadow Guard Vulture glanced at his master.

The moonlight on a winter night is as cold as ice.

It was even colder when it fell on Mr. Pei.

Then he understood what his master meant.

A cold knife fell, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Vulture raised his knife and looked around at the other four hall masters in the warm room.

In the warm room, everyone is silent as a cicada.

Two of the six hall masters who were invited have died.

Even though he was a man of great integrity before, he declared that he would follow the old master's orders for the rest of his life.

But when facing life and death, there is always hesitation.

But when their eldest son returned to the mountain this time, his vitality had disappeared even more completely, although he maintained his polite smile.

But the smile that doesn't reach the eyes makes people feel cold in their hearts.

"There is one thing that you uncles may have forgotten because you are old."

Pei Guichen was calm and sipped his hot tea: "If the knife is blunt, you can change it at any time. But I am the one holding the knife."

The oldest hall master pretended to be kind and benevolent, and asked tentatively: "The eldest son is young after all. In the future, whether in the imperial capital, the government or the court, he will always need help. With such thundering means, bloody and tyrannical, aren't you afraid of cutting off your own retreat?"

Unexpectedly, the young master in white robe opposite him just glanced at him indifferently.

"I walk on it, and it is the road."

After a while, the stone door of the warm room slowly opened.

The white robe brushed against the cold, hard black stone slabs, and torches lit up dimly on the stone walls on both sides.

In the warm room, four corpses were lying on the ground, twisting their bodies, and the smell of blood was lingering.

The only two remaining hall masters looked pale, as if they were frightened silly.

Shadow Guard Vulture wiped the blood off the knife with his sleeve, followed closely behind Pei Guichen, and asked coldly in a low voice: "Master, the Mo tribe priest is still waiting."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ying came towards him.

Her eyes were as gentle as water, and she was slightly excited: "Sir, I just received news from the capital - the Seven-Star Bloodthorn has been found. The decent person in the palace brought it to me."

Pei Guichen stared at the blood splashed on the corner of his robe. He was silent for a long time before he spoke, "She hasn't been found yet?"

Xu Ying's smile froze. "The mountain path is rugged and steep. Even the group of secret guards under King Feng Ran couldn't find it. I'm afraid something has really happened to the princess."

"She hid on purpose." Walking through the Black Rock Mountain Road, cold light and shadow intertwined on Pei Guichen's body that looked like a banished immortal. His sharp eyelashes trembled slightly and were covered with a layer of haze, like a fallen demon: "I'm still alive, how can she die?"

Hearing this, Xu Ying gritted her teeth in hatred.

Grasping the corner of her sleeve quietly, she closely followed the footsteps of her own master, puzzled: "The imperial capital is full of undercurrents and the situation is treacherous. Shouldn't the princess be most anxious to rush back to the imperial capital to seize power?"

"What good will it do her to hide now?"

At this moment, the door of the stone-walled warm room next to it suddenly opened.

The purple-robed young man sneered: "It's just a little trick to fool people. It's meaningless."

"Every year we bet on who will be the top three." Another young man in brown robes also laughed and said obscenely, "Why not try something more exciting this year? Oh, I can actually see you on this Crow Peak! Do you want to play with me?"

Thinking of the scene just now, the purple-robed young man clapped his hands and cheered: "Then I'll bet on that little girl just now! Although she doesn't seem to be agile and sharp, she is smart enough to roll in the mud to cover up the smell of a living person on her body."

"I like!!"

"Oh! If you ask me, I still like the guy next to her!" The brown-robed young man laughed: "Although he is so dirty that I can't tell whether he is handsome or not, he definitely has a good figure!"

Although he was a guest, Pei Guichen's expression became even colder.

Vulture secretly sighed and was about to step forward to explain that his young master had something to do and could not stay for long.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder and a night rain began to fall in the mountains.

Po wiped his face and looked around the valley.

We have to find a place to leave quickly, otherwise the rain will be heavy and the water will rise rapidly.

Who knows what kind of horrible man-eating creature will emerge from the mud that can survive the poisonous miasma.
