Lonely Immortal
Chapter 39 Scapegoat
"Heh, Bai Dongsheng, you are really the first to complain. I won't say that you indulged your nephew to kill people indiscriminately in Qishan. You blamed me for his death. Do you think that our Feng family is easy to bully?"
The purple-shirted old man Feng Qing laughed angrily. He pointed at Bai Suifeng and scolded, "Let me ask you, did you see our Feng family kill Bai Luoye with your own eyes?"
"This..." Bai Suifeng was suddenly unable to answer.
"What is this! As the saying goes, catching the thief with the stolen goods is almost the same. You are so good that you put the blame on our Feng family without checking anything. We Feng family doesn't care, and we are not afraid of you, but if we kill each other, guess who will benefit?"
Feng Qing scolded again, scolding Bai Dongsheng and Bai Suifeng speechless. Obviously, they are not stupid, but they were blinded by hatred for a while. Now they wake up after hearing Feng Qing's words.
Zhang Zhiwen, who was hiding behind the stone pillar, couldn't help but think that it was not good. It seemed that it was not easy to fool these two families of scattered cultivators. That was true. Which of these families of scattered cultivators was not a spirit? His idea of taking advantage of the conflict between the snipe and the clam was probably not feasible.
Sure enough, Bai Dongsheng's expression was obviously calm, and then, their voices disappeared. Zhang Zhiwen saw that although they all opened their mouths to speak, no sound came out. This was obviously some kind of mysterious sound transmission method.
Bai and Feng seemed to have said something, and seemed to have reached an agreement. After talking for a while, they actually joined forces.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhiwen had a bad premonition in his heart, because if the two families joined forces, they would definitely track down the real murderer who killed Bai Luoye, and that would be him. But Zhang Zhiwen thought about it carefully and felt relieved, because from beginning to end, he had not shown his face, and he didn't believe that they could find him.
Bai and Feng discussed for a while, and then the four of them left, seemingly to find the murderer behind the scenes.
Zhang Zhiwen hid behind the stone pillar. When he saw them leave, he did not rush out, but continued to wait, because he always felt that this place was very strange, otherwise how could there be such a large area of century-old medicinal herbs? This was too deliberate, as if someone had planted these medicinal herbs in this place!
Moreover, although he had not been found by Bai and Feng, he was also on the verge of danger. If there was any disturbance, he would be in trouble. Any one of the four people from Bai and Feng would be enough to make him drink a pot, not to mention the four people joining forces.
So he would rather be careful than be too reckless, because he only had one life, and once he fell into the hands of Feng and Bai, he would have almost no chance of survival.
So, Zhang Zhiwen waited patiently. After most of the day, it was quiet outside, without any movement, but Zhang Zhiwen still did not show up. This Qianshi Forest looked very large, but once he showed up and was discovered, it would be difficult to escape the pursuit.
Finally, a day passed, it was already dark, but it was still quiet outside, without any changes.
But Zhang Zhiwen still did not move, still hiding behind the stone pillar. Anyway, he had plenty of time. He planned to hide for three days and three nights until he was sure that it was really safe outside.
Suddenly, there was a movement outside. Zhang Zhiwen's heart jumped and he quickly restrained his breath.
"Deputy Hall Master, look, what is that?!"
A voice came.
"Oh my God, there are so many hundred-year-old medicinal herbs here, haha, it seems that the deputy hall master is still wise!"
Another voice came.
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and pick them!" The voice of Deputy Hall Master Hou came.
Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the deputy hall master Hou actually came here with several alchemists. He secretly looked outside. Sure enough, the deputy hall master Hou appeared here with several alchemists in a mess.
The alchemists received the order and hurried to collect medicinal materials.
But just as the alchemists ran into the medicinal field, dozens of green wind blades attacked them. The green wind blades were only about the size of a little finger, but the speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the alchemists were shot.
The alchemists didn't even have time to scream. They fell to the ground and died one after another. Among them was Zhang Zhiwen's so-called master, the alchemist Lin. This alchemist Lin never thought that he would die here. He stared with big eyes and looked like he would die with his eyes wide open.
"Bai Suifeng, what are you doing?!" Feng Qing's angry voice came, and then the two Fengs appeared. They walked out of the stone pillar on one side with angry faces.
The two Bais also came out from behind the stone pillar on the other side. Bai Suifeng walked in front of them. He said nonchalantly, "It's just killing a few people. What's the big deal?"
The two Bais looked at the dead alchemists on the ground as if they were ants. When Deputy Hall Master Hou saw the four people who suddenly appeared, his face turned extremely pale. He was at a loss and trembling all over. He was obviously extremely scared.
Seeing him like this, Bai Dongsheng raised his hand impatiently and shot out a golden arrow. With a puff, the golden arrow instantly pierced Deputy Hall Master Hou's forehead and he died on the spot.
The two Bais easily killed Deputy Hall Master Hou and others with a wave of their hands. These people were at least second-rate masters, while Deputy Hall Master Hou was a top master, but facing the two Bais, he had almost no power to fight back. He was just like a lamb to be slaughtered.
The reappearance of Feng and Bai made Zhang Zhiwen more alert. Fortunately, he did not show up casually, otherwise he would have been ambushed by the other party. These immortal cultivators are indeed able to endure and are ruthless. How could ordinary people lurk here for a day and a night for an uncertain thing?
But they were able to do it. In order to track down the person who killed Bai Luoye, they actually ambushed here, and the timing was also very accurate. Just imagine, Bai and Feng must have guessed that the person who killed Bai Luoye should also come here to collect medicinal materials, otherwise why come to Qianshilin? Is it fun to kill people?
Another thing, from Bai Suifeng's moves, it can be seen that the strength of the second-level Qi Refining is much stronger than Zhang Zhiwen's first-level Qi Refining. At least Bai Suifeng released two spells in a row without showing any signs of spiritual power exhaustion, especially the wind blade technique, which was dozens of wind blades shot out in one breath. This is definitely not a basic wind blade technique!
Bai Suifeng is so powerful, not to mention Bai Dongsheng and Feng Qing who are at the third level of Qi Refining. Zhang Zhiwen's vigilance is even stronger, and his breath is more restrained, so as not to reveal a flaw. He really doesn't know how to die at that time!
Bai Suifeng killed the deputy hall master and several others, and Feng Qing couldn't help but be a little angry. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the two Bais for killing innocent people so indiscriminately.
"Feng Qing, I know you can't bear to see the disciples of the Chamber of Commerce die at our hands, but don't forget how these people treated us back then!" Bai Dongsheng said coldly.
The two Fengs were silent when they heard this.
Yes, in the past, several of their scattered cultivator families fought to the end and suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid being hunted down by other scattered cultivator families, they hid, but they didn't expect that the Jianghu gangs that were originally loyal to them took the opportunity to attack them and almost killed them. This matter is a shame for the scattered cultivator family, so naturally, the genealogy did not mention it.
But Zhang Zhiwen also saw the clues. It was obvious that the people of the scattered cultivator families would not trust these gangs, and in their eyes, these people in the world were like ants. It was no big deal to kill them.
At the same time, he also saw that the cultivator behind the Chamber of Commerce should be Feng. As for the Bai family, there is no doubt that they must be the boss behind the assassin organization.
They wanted to lure Zhang Zhiwen out here, but they didn't expect that the deputy hall master Hou and his men appeared here first, so the deputy hall master Hou and his men became scapegoats.
Zhang Zhiwen was quite emotional. This deputy hall master Hou and those alchemists had calculated everything, but what? In front of absolute strength, they were nothing, and their death was quite unjust.
"Humph, what should we do now?" Although Feng Qing was dissatisfied, he also felt that the death of a few disciples was nothing, and it was not worth offending the Bai family.
"What else can we do? These bugs have ruined our good deeds. We can only go back first." Bai Dongsheng looked at the corpses on the ground with disdain, then flicked his sleeves and flew away, and Bai Suifeng naturally followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Feng Qing had no choice but to leave with another member of the Feng family.
The surroundings returned to peace again, with only Deputy Hall Master Hou and others lying on the ground who had been dead for a long time. On one side were the beautiful medicinal flowers and on the other side were the bloody corpses. In the sun, the two formed a sharp contrast, as if it also implied that the world was no longer peaceful.
Seeing them leave, Zhang Zhiwen still cautiously hid behind the stone pillar. Although the hundreds of century-old medicinal herbs in front of him were within his reach, he was not greedy at all. Even though he knew that after he got these medicinal herbs, he might be able to refine a lot of pills to improve his cultivation, and step into the realm of the second stage of Qi Refining in one fell swoop, and have more chances to save his life from then on, he still did not move.
In this way, three days passed, and there was finally movement outside again.
This time, it was Wang Kun and others who came!
This surprised Zhang Zhiwen. Why did these people run here? Logically, Wang Kun and others should be wandering around Qishan. When they encountered danger before, Li Mohuan asked them to run first. Why did they run here? Shouldn't they run back to the Chamber of Commerce?
"Damn, why is the territory of Qishan so big? Why can't I get out after wandering for a long time?" Wang Kun was quite angry, and then seemed a little proud, "Hey, but our Chamber of Commerce is a big gang after all. Those jumping clowns dare not do anything to us even if they have the courage!"
"Brother is right!" A white-clothed disciple complimented hurriedly.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen was speechless. It turned out that these people were lost, but it was also true that Wang Kun and others seemed to have never come out to experience it. It didn't seem strange that they were lost.
"Oh my God, senior brother, look, isn't that Deputy Hall Master Hou!" Suddenly, a disciple in white clothes exclaimed. Wang Kun and others then discovered that Deputy Hall Master Hou and others had died here. At the same time, they also discovered hundreds of century-old medicinal herbs here.
