The woman sat on the ground, crying and muttering.

The young monks felt sorry for her and didn't leave immediately. Yuan Hai stepped forward to help her, "Female benefactor, what's the matter?"

The woman's body was trembling constantly, and when she was pulled up by the monk, her eyes flicked around, as if she was wary of something.When his eyes turned to the opposite side of the street, he suddenly screamed loudly, pointing at the people across the street and trembling, as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Ziqi saw that the woman was looking in his direction, he couldn't help being startled, he quickly turned his head, and met a pair of beautiful Pteris-tailed eyes, who wasn't Dan Yi?

"Why are you here?" Chen Ziqi heaved a sigh of relief, the woman's expression was too piercing, he thought he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.

"Come to find you." Dan Yi smiled lightly, as if she didn't see the woman who pointed at him and yelled.

Chen Ziqi is out to buy melon seeds.Tomorrow is the martial arts conference, Little Red Bird said he wanted to recharge his batteries, so he lay lazy on the bed and ordered Chen Ziqi to eat melon seeds for him.After waiting for a long time, Qi Qi did not come back, Dan Yi was a little worried, so she went out to look for him.

After the woman screamed, she suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, crying out in her mouth: "Palace Master, Palace Master...Palace Master, please forgive me..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the woman addressing her like that.Looking at the entire rivers and lakes, the only one who can be called the "palace master" is the master of Guiyun Palace.Everyone looked at the handsome young man dressed in red, who was not like ordinary people.

"Is that man the Lord of Guiyun Palace?" Yuan Hai's heart skipped a beat. These two people are so outstanding in appearance, so naturally they can't be mistaken. They are the ones they besieged in Luoyang a few days ago!

Only then did Dan Yi slowly raise her eyes to look at the crazy woman, she was unkempt, she was young, and there was an obvious beauty mole on her chin.Confirming that she had never seen her before, Dan Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, the "Palace Master" was really strange.

At this moment, the crazy woman who was kneeling suddenly burst into a rage and bumped into the monk's chest.Everyone was still silent in the surprise of meeting the Mistress of Guiyun Palace on the street, but suddenly something happened, and even the monk didn't react, and was knocked back by her.The woman took the opportunity to grab the collar of the young monk Yuanji, pulled the young monk into her arms, and jumped out with light kung fu.

Unexpectedly, this crazy woman is not weak in martial arts, she shouted angrily, and ran after the woman, followed by several young monks.

Dan Yi gestured to the eagle hovering in the sky, signaling Diao Lie to follow.

The monks chased the woman to a private house in the city. It was a small three-way house with blue bricks and gray tiles, a black-painted gate, and a new lantern hanging in front of the gate. It was obviously inhabited.Just as he got closer, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

After climbing over the wall, Yuanjing, who was walking in front, exclaimed in shock, "Ahhh!"

The corpses, the corpses all over the courtyard, were scattered all over the place, each in a miserable state of death.Some held swords in their hands and refused to let go, and some were unarmed but had muscular beards. These were obviously not ordinary people, but martial arts families who came to participate in the martial arts conference.The blood on the ground is still very fresh, it should have been dead for two days.

The crazy woman was hugging the little monk Yuanji tightly, sitting on the steps in the inner courtyard, swaying convulsively, at her feet lay the corpse of a young child.

"This is... Lihe Yun Family." Yuan Hai found a jade plaque on a corpse, and identified the identity of the people in this yard.

The Lihe Yun family was originally a small and inconspicuous family in Xuan Dao, they made a living as escorts for others, and were attached to Guiyun Palace.Later, for some reason, he betrayed Xuandao, saying that he wanted to "reform evil and return to righteousness", and his whole family took refuge in Liuhezong.This matter caused a lot of trouble ten years ago, making this little-known little family known.

"The Yun family has been wiped out?" Luo Hongfeng, who was preparing for the martial arts conference, heard the news and slapped the table, "What's going on?"

In the past few days, people in Liuyang City have been killed continuously.Luo Hongfeng suspected that someone was doing something wrong, and Liuhezong was devastated to investigate this matter, and was ready to spend money to ask Guiyun Palace to help investigate, but he didn't expect such a big incident to happen at this juncture.

The Yun Family is a family attached to the Liuhe Sect. This time, in order to participate in the martial arts conference to give the Liuhe Sect an appearance, they sent all the elites of the family here. As a result...

Luo Hongfeng looked at the crazy woman who had been tidied up by the maid, and frowned fiercely, "Siniang, why did you look like this!" This woman was called Yun Siniang, the only daughter of the head of the Yun family.

"On the street just now, this female benefactor knelt down to a man in red and said, 'Master, please spare me'." Yuan Hai explained everything he saw in detail.

"Huh?" Luo Hongfeng suddenly raised his head, "What did you say?"

……

"Yun Si Niang..." After hearing Diao Lie's report, Dan Yi understood, "I guess he recognized me as my father."

Chen Ziqi looked at him curiously, "Do you look like your father?"

"It's a bit similar." Dan Yi single-pointed his chin, pondered for a moment, then asked something else, "Have Ren Zongmi and Huang Teng come?"

"We have already crossed the river, and we will definitely be able to enter the city tonight." Diao Lie said the information accurately.

The Wan Gu Sect and the Thousand Poison Sect met on the road, they came together, but for some reason they walked a bit slower.The other sects of Xuan Dao have already entered the city, and the heads of each sect have come to meet Dan Yi separately.

The Martial Arts Conference is to select the leader of the Sword Alliance and the Suzerain of Qizong, and it has nothing to do with their Xuandao.Of course, this is Dan Yi's first martial arts conference after succeeding to the throne, and people from Xuan Dao will come to support him.

The next day, the sun shone on the vast Bahuangyuan, casting alternating light and dark cloud shadows and skylight.

The Zongmen house of Liuhe Sect is built in the middle of the Eight Wastelands, it really is as high as the sky and as wide as the earth.The conference venue is located on Sixiang Lake, five miles outside the Zongmen.

It is said to be a lake, but it is actually a pond with a radius of hundreds of feet.In the center of the pond, two platforms were built with stone materials, in the shape of Taiji yin and yang fishes, standing in a groove. From a distance, it looks like a whole circle, but there is an arc-shaped gap in the middle.

Seats for watching and resting are built along the lake, and more than a dozen high platforms are set up for seats of various sects.Small sects with hero posts also arranged a certain position, and those without hero posts could only stand.

As the host of Liuhezong, its location sits north and faces south.There are two big drums standing on the left and right sides. There are strong men in colorful clothes and bunts, holding huge drumsticks, and beating them one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The heavy and thick cowhide drum echoed in the vast wasteland with a desolate cry that seemed to come from ancient times.This is the tradition of martial arts in the Central Plains for thousands of years, making friends with martial arts and discussing Tao with martial arts.

A crowd of martial arts people came from Liuhezong and Liuyang City respectively to check the hero posts and confirm the order of the competition. After a while, the whole Sixiang Lake became lively.

Near noon, most sects had already taken their seats. Luo Hongfeng was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, standing on the high platform, staring at the high platform on the east side of the lake in silence.

"Sect Master, it's noon." The Liuhe Sect disciple reported in a low voice.

"Guiyun Palace hasn't come yet?" Luo Hongfeng slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves.Guiyun Palace has always been self-willed, and every martial arts conference comes later than others, but it never exceeds noon.

Dan Yi, a young boy, is even more arrogant than his father.

Not only Luo Hongfeng was paying attention to Guiyun Palace, but other sects were also peeking at the high platform over there.This was the first time that the new palace lord made an appearance in front of the heroes of the world, and everyone was so curious to death.

"Senior Sister, what do you think the Master of Guiyun Palace will look like?" These girls from Suxinzong came to the martial arts conference for the first time, and they were all very excited. The talkative Yuquan couldn't help discussing with the senior sisters around him.

"I haven't seen it either, but I heard from the elders that the masters of Guiyun Palace have been extremely handsome for generations." Senior Sister Yu Yun said in a low voice.

"Then, will the person I saw outside the city look good?" Yuquan glanced at the master sitting in front, and lowered his voice.

The ones seen outside the city naturally refer to Dan Yi and Chen Ziqi. Chen Ziqi and the others knew their identities and did not mention their names, but they were talking about the particularly dazzling man.

Hearing this, Yu Yun couldn't answer.The man had been born so perfect that it was hard to imagine what a better-looking man looked like.

It was already noon, Guiyun Palace hadn't arrived yet, but several sects of Xuan Dao had already arrived and sat on the east side.

"Didn't you dare to come to Guiyun Palace?" People in the righteous way talked about it.

"I heard that the strange events in Liuyang City may be related to Guiyun Palace."

"Really? Don't tell me, the Yun family has a feud with Guiyun Palace, maybe..."

The news of the tragic death of the Yun family spread overnight, and various speculations came one after another.

"Our sect leader was summoned by Sect Master Luo last night. I don't know what we were discussing. Could it be that we want to question Guiyun Palace?"

The buzz of discussion is getting louder and louder. If you don't say anything, the venue will be chaotic.Luo Hongfeng couldn't bear it anymore, his toes stepped on the ground, and his whole body floated over the high platform like a bird. He floated more than ten feet at a time, and jumped to the platform in the middle of the water after borrowing strength only twice on the water surface.

Everyone fell silent immediately, waiting for Luo Hongfeng to speak. At this moment, a melodious sound of silk and bamboo came from the sky.

Where the sky and the earth meet, a huge soft sedan chair surrounded by crimson gauze comes swaying with the sound of silk and bamboo.Sixteen bearers in black costumes carried their sedan chairs in eight directions, like birds, they flew directly to the top of Sixiang Lake without any help, and suddenly changed direction in the air, and landed on the high platform on the east side .

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Baiyun Envoy: It's time to appear, the bearers are ready

Bearer: ready

Baiyun Envoy: Lighting, music, where is the Palace Master?

Bird attack: ready

Baiyun Envoy: OK, count down to five, get ready—pretend to be aggressive!

Lord Luo: I have a question

Bird Gong: What?

Sovereign Luo: Why do you play after me every time?It makes me so low!
