Satke Tackling
Chapter 60: 60

The blue-robed swordsman stopped smiling right as a figure suddenly appeared outside the window of his room.

“What's the problem?” he said without looking at the window.

“Secte Master has ordered me to tell Senior that Sword Freak, Chen Wenjie, has arrived in Runan two days ago, and he asks you to be careful of the experts from the Clarity Sect and the Straight Sect. ”

The swordsman looked at the figure and said politely, “Thank you. ”

“There's one more thing. Senior Old Ji from the Evil Sky Pavilion had most likely arrived at Runan as well. Sect Master wants to know what your plan is. The figure spoke with a hesitant tone, as if he was a little scared.

“It had nothing to do with him,” the voice of the swordsman grew quieter as he said.

The figure instinctively took a step back.

The bloomer smiled again as he took the kettle off the table and poured a glass of water, “You have nothing to fear, my friend. Strong wind out there. If you have no other job, please go in and have a glass of water. ”

“This ... This junior needs to report back to Sect Master! Pamitan!”

The figure flickered and disappeared at night.

The swordsman shook his head helplessly, but he did not stay in the room for long. After a short break, he turned around and jumped into the darkness, disappearing as well.

Next morning…

As soon as Lu Zhou opened his eyes, he heard a voice from outside his room. Then, he heard a knock on his door, which made him wake up.

“Tua ... Old Man ..” That was the owner of that inn.

Lu Zhou got off the bed and opened the door suspiciously, only to be greeted by the innkeeper and a few attendants.

The innkeeper's face was covered in sweat, but before he could speak, the leader had already cupped his fists and said, “Did you see who killed Zhuo Ping, Old Man?”

Lu Zhou had a confused expression on his face. Zhuo Ping is dead? He turned to look at the door of the room where the man was staying. Two soldiers were facing off with pools of blood on the ground there, next to him was a broken sword. Meanwhile, two other officers searched the room. The room was empty, so they couldn't find anything.

Zhuo Ping was an expert of the heavenly Court, but he was killed quietly without putting up a fight. This proved that his killer was most likely a Nascent Tribulation Divine expert.

Lu Zhou shook his head to show that he did not see anything.

The attendant sighed and said, “Zhuo Ping is a swordsman. Anyone who could kill him would be an expert as well. It's normal for you not to see it. ”

“Zhuo Ping is hostile to someone?” Lu Zhou asked.

The attendant frowned and observed Lu Zhou for a moment before speaking in a hostile tone, “Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

Although Zhuo Ping's death had nothing to do with Lu Zhou, the fact that his killer was an expert made him feel bad. If Runan was a big trap and he realized it too late, then it would be very difficult for him to escape.

“When I ask a question, you just need to answer it. Lu Zhou showed him the imperial mark.

The attendant glared at him and was almost furious when he saw the mark, and he instantly withered. ‘He's someone from the imperial clan!’ She trembled and knelt as she shouted, “Ya Gods ..”

The owner of the inn became mute.

Meanwhile, the other soldiers kneeled down without saying anything. When they saw the mark, their faces froze and their hearts pounded as they immediately knelt with the officer in charge.

It was then that Yuan’er Tiny came out of her room while yawning and rubbing her eyes. When he saw people kneeling in front of Lu Zhou's room, he said, “Grandfather, do you want me to beat them up?”

As soon as the innkeeper heard him say that, he fainted and sat down.

Lu Zhou waved his hand, gesturing for him not to interfere. Then, he continued to ask, “Who is Zhuo Ping really?”

“He was a swordsman, and he had taken the Sword of the Couple by killing his own brother. Due to his deep cultivation base, the local authorities were barely able to touch him. ”

Then, why is he in Runan?”

These people were only a few low-level officers and warriors, and they had little access to cases involving heavenly Court experts. It was normal for them not to know such information.

Yuan’er small ran to TKP and looked around before running back. As if he had made a great discovery, he said in excitement, “He was killed with just one sword attack, which cut him from here to here,” he pointed to his own body. “Oh, the killer killed him from the front. ”

Lu Zhou nodded. The killer must be a swordsman who has a heaven-level weapon. In his memory, a number of people met those criteria.

The person who killed Zhuo Ping could be Sword Freak Chen Wenjie, Sword Genius Jiang Aijian, Luo Changqing of the Luo Sect, or his traitorous disciple, Yu Shangrong.

As Lu Zhou was pondering, a loud voice sounded from outside. He and the kneeling officers and soldiers all showed confused expressions and looked outside the inn at the same time.

“Yuan’er, go and take a look. ”

“Iya . ”

Yuan’er small jumped straight from the top floor to the ground floor before running out of the inn and returning a moment later.

“There is a train flying outside, belonging to the Great Void Temple,” said the little girl.

The Great Void Temple?

Perplexed, Lu Zhou turned around and walked down. Yuan’er small followed, leaving a group of people kneeling and looking at each other, wondering if they should get up or not.

When he came out, Lu Zhou looked up at the sky. The huge flying chariot had flown to the edge of the city, but the bald monks flying around it were still faintly visible. Judging from the symbol on the carriage, it indeed belonged to the Great Void Temple.

“Come go!” Lu Zhou turned his gaze.

Oho!

Soon, they headed north of Runan. As soon as they got out of town, Yuan’er Small whispered, “Master, we are being followed. ”

Lu Zhou said nothing but nodded. This was why he brought the little Yuan’er with him. He developed the Highest Purity Jade Slip, which made his perception far exceed that of cultivators in the same realm. Moreover, he was intelligent, and he could protect himself even if they encountered a powerful enemy, saving Lu Zhou energy.

Lu Zhou had planned to ride his mount to the holy altar, but now that they were followed, he had to deal with it first.

“Please wait a minute, Old Man!” The stalker finally lost his patience.

Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er turned around slowly and saw a young man who looked to be less than thirty years old.

“What do you want?”

“I want to buy something from you, Old Man. ”

Yuan’er small said angrily, “We don't sell anything! Go!”

The young man did not pay attention to Yuan’er and simply looked at Lu Zhou.

“The fact that your short sword can destroy a Couple Sword proves that it is a very good sword. I am willing to buy it at a high price, ”he said.

Lu Zhou asked calmly, “You were there yesterday?”

The young man nodded. “One time . I intended to discuss this with Old Man yesterday, but an expert was present, and I had to avoid it. ”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “You like swords?”

“I think of the sword as my life, and I like it very much,” said the man slowly. “I will kill Zhuo Ping and take the Sword Couple, but I did not expect someone to kill him before I could do anything. It was a pity that the expert smashed his sword as well. It was a pity.. ”His words were filled with regret over that sword.

Who's the expert?

“I didn't see it. However, his true identity was not difficult to guess. In this world, there were only three people who could wield swords to the extreme level. “For a moment, the young man seemed to have forgotten his purpose as he continued,” One of them is the evil patriarch of Evil Sky Pavilion, Ji Tiandao, who is also the one I fear the most .. “

Yuan’er small covered his smile with a hand and said, “Then, you should run now!”
