Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

Because of the distance and the fact that it was night, they couldn't be sure who was fighting on the cliff opposite.

"How to do?"

"Wait and see what happens, I'm still not sure who it is, maybe it's an irrelevant person?!"

They waited by the river, and that was the only way they could do it now. The cliff opposite was not very high, but rather steep.

So there is no way to climb up directly from here, not to mention that there is a wide and fast-flowing river between them and the cliff.

Huo Jiulin listened carefully to the voices coming from the opposite side, and roughly judged: "It looks like seven or eight people."

"I really don't want it to be Sun Zehu. Otherwise, he is now besieged by seven or eight people, and we have no way to rush over. Sooner or later, he will be arrested or silenced."

Xiao Luofeng suddenly looked at the opposite cliff and complained: "Oh, if Sun Zehu was really under siege, if I were him, I would definitely choose to jump off. You can also see the river below from this cliff, so if you want to jump down and live It's more likely."

Then as soon as Xiao Luofeng finished speaking, something seemed to fall from the cliff, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, Huo Jiulin and the others looked at each other, and hurried forward to look at the river.

But the river is deep and fast, and the river is wide, so there is no way to get close to it for a while.

"How to do?"

"Whether it's Sun Zehu or not, you can't let go of any opportunity. You have to find someone to find out."

"Swim directly there?"

"No, the water is so fast, it must be going down with the current, let's chase down!"

The four of them hurriedly packed up and saluted, got on their horses and chased down the river, while carefully observing the river surface to see if there was anyone.

Fortunately, there is a moon tonight. Otherwise, it would be so dark that they would not be able to see clearly. They kept chasing after it, and when the water flow calmed down a little, they realized that it was almost dawn.

"If Sun Zehu was awake, he must be going downstream with the current, but he did not appear to leave the river along the way. If he was seriously injured and unconscious, then he was washed down by the river, and the river in this area is much gentler, so It looks like it will stop here, right?"

"Let's search around here separately to see if we can find him."

"I hope it's really Sun Zehu, otherwise we ran in the opposite direction all night chasing him, and we really wasted a lot of time."

Some helplessly sighed, it's useless to say these things now, and you can't ignore it until your identity is confirmed. No matter how slim the hope is, you can't give up easily.

The four of them searched carefully by the river, while Huo Jiulin went directly into the water to look for it. When they thought whether their assumption was wrong, they finally found it.

Huo Jiulin didn't know how many times he came out of the water, and when he swam over, he brought a person with him. After dragging the person ashore, Shen Yiqing took a closer look and said, "The person I saw last time in the ruined temple, It's him, he should be Sun Zehu."

"I didn't expect it to be Sun Zehu. There's nowhere to find him. It's easy to get here, but is he dead or alive?"

Hua Wenzhu squatted down when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to take Sun Zehu's pulse, then checked, and replied: "There is still breath, but it is very weak."

"What should I do?"

"I can only treat Sima as a living horse doctor. His physical condition is really, very bad, with serious internal injuries, and he has been ill for a long time. He basically doesn't have much time to live."

"He was willing to reveal the truth about 14 years ago because he knew he didn't have much time to live. Otherwise, maybe no one would ever know those things."

"So this is also called destiny in the dark. God has already arranged everything."

The three of them don't know medical skills, so the matter of saving lives is left to Hua Wenzhu. Hua Wenzhu tries to get him to spit out the river water he drank, and then directly administers the needles.

"Who loses some true energy to him."

Hearing Hua Wenzhu's words, Huo Jiulin held Sun Zehu's wrist, and then Yungong slowly transferred his true energy to Sun Zehu's body. Hua Wenzhu observed carefully.

"It doesn't need too much, I say stop and stop, he is too poor now, too much will be counterproductive."

"Um……"

Huo Jiulin didn't dare to be distracted, Shen Yiqing and Xiao Luofeng watched nervously from the sidelines, and they had to observe the surrounding situation, and then they heard the sound of horseshoes.

"someone is coming."

"What should we do? His condition doesn't allow him to move around at will, and his true energy cannot be broken. Now is a critical moment."

"Leave it to me."

Shen Yiqing got up and pulled out his sword, Xiao Luofeng naturally would not be idle, those people approached slowly, there were six people in total, all of them were masked in black, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

Their eyes changed obviously when they saw Sun Zehu lying on the ground, Xiao Luofeng shouted to them: "Which way are you heroes? Why are you covering your face in broad daylight? Could it be that you are doing something?" What unseen thing?!"

Now the sky has turned white, and they are all masked in black, but they are completely unmoved in the face of Xiao Luofeng's provocation.

"Take them all."

As soon as the leader gave an order, five of them got off their horses and rushed over with their swords in hand. Shen Yiqing and Xiao Luofeng stepped forward to fight with them, while Huo Jiulin looked at them worriedly.

"Master, you can't be distracted right now. It doesn't matter if your qi is too slow or too hasty. You must keep calm. As for His Highness Ninth Prince, they should be able to deal with it for the time being."

Huo Jiulin looked away helplessly, concentrating on the matter in front of him, while Hua Wenzhu continued to give needles, Shen Yiqing naturally didn't want Huo Jiulin and the others to be distracted.

So I thought of a quick fight, but these people are obviously well-trained killers, so it is not as easy to solve as imagined.

"careful!"

Shen Yiqing blocked Xiao Luofeng's back with a sword and blocked the attack for him. Xiao Luofeng looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you very much..."

"You're welcome……"

"Yiqing, why don't we compare and see who catches more?"

The corner of Shen Yiqing's mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Huo Jiulin turned his back to them, but judging from the conversation, the situation shouldn't be too bad, at least within the controllable range.

Shen Yiqing leaned back to avoid a sword, then simply turned over, kicked the people around him, and then stepped forward and pressed the sword against his throat before he got up.

"Who sent you here?"

Seeing that he had no way to resist, the man directly bit the poison in his mouth, foamed at the mouth instantly and lost consciousness, Shen Yiqing stepped forward to check, and he was no longer breathing.

The same goes for the rest of the people. They didn't put their own lives in their eyes at all. They committed suicide if they couldn't complete the task. Except for the leader who gave an order just now, the others didn't speak at all.

Seeing that all five of his subordinates were dead, the leader couldn't sit still any longer, so he got off his horse and fought with them.

But now Xiao Luofeng and Shen Yiqing are dealing with him alone, so it's completely easy.

The man wanted to commit suicide, but before he could bite the poison pill's jaw, he was pinched by someone, and one of them was dislocated, let alone the bite, and he couldn't even close it.

Shen Yiqing and Xiao Luofeng also looked at Huo Jiulin in surprise, they didn't expect him to appear suddenly, Huo Jiulin withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Su Hong sent you here?"

The man simply closed his eyes without moving at all, Huo Jiulin directly knocked him out with a knife in his hand.

"Don't ask anymore?"

Xiao Luofeng asked with some doubts, Huo Jiulin sighed, "It's useless to ask, they are professional killers, but when I said Su Hong, his eyes didn't even fluctuate, which means he wasn't surprised by the question. "

"This means that it was indeed sent by Su Hong?"

Before Huo Jiulin finished speaking, the three of them walked up to Hua Wenzhu, Hua Wenzhu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The fate is saved temporarily, but I can't last too long for him."

"How long is he likely to live?"

"At most three months. If the situation is worse, maybe the time will be shorter, and the injury can be recovered, but his illness has long been incurable."

"He committed so many murders back then, it's not an exaggeration to have such an end."

Although Sun Zehu obeyed Su Hong's order, no matter what, the lives of so many people from the four great families were destroyed by him, but he didn't know where his subordinates were now.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's find a place. It's hard to guarantee that there are no other killers."

Huo Jiulin nodded, then knelt down and motioned for them to put Sun Zehu on his back. He carried Sun Zehu on his back, and Shen Yiqing led the two horses. Then the group left the river and walked into the woods.

According to Sun Zehu's current situation, he couldn't withstand the bumps of the horse's back, so they could only find a place nearby. After walking for a while, they found a cave. Huo Jiulin put the man down and went in to check. It was nothing. Questions let them in.

"Let's avoid here for a while."

"Hua Zuoshi, when will he wake up?"

"I can't be sure about this. The medicine I brought has little effect on him. You guys watch here. I will go out and find some herbs nearby and see if it will help him."

As soon as Hua Wenzhu stood up, someone grabbed her ankle suddenly. She was startled, and then they saw Sun Zehu lying on the ground slowly opening his eyes.

"who are you?"

He asked weakly. He thought it was the men in black who were chasing him, but after looking at them, they seemed to be dressed differently. Could it be that they were rescued by passers-by after falling into the water?

"You are Sun Zehu, right?"

Shen Yiqing stepped forward and asked, Sun Zehu was stunned when he saw Shen Yiqing, and then smiled wryly: "Master Shen, we are really destined, we have met three times in such a short period of time."

Huo Jiulin frowned in displeasure, and Shen Yiqing said lightly, "Really? Maybe it's the ghosts who died at your hands. I hope someone can seek justice for them."

Sun Zehu nodded and replied: "Yes, but I would rather die by your hands than die by other people's hands."
