“Formation!”
When the surrounding sounds completely disappeared, and the vision turned dark.
Su Jingzhen instantly became vigilant.
The word formation emerged in his mind.
He subconsciously reached out to grab Xuening’s hand. The latter was suddenly startled and still didn’t quite understand why Su Jingzhe did this.
Xuening’s vigilance was ultimately inferior to Su Jingzhen’s.
“Master Su “
Su Jingzhen’s tone was extremely solemn: “Hold tight, someone’s coming!”
The surrounding environment was pitch black, and he didn’t understand what kind of formation this was.
But he knew that if they scattered, it would be difficult to find each other again.Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Xuening’s heart also skipped a beat.
She reflexively tightened her grip on Su Jingzhen’s hand.
In the next instant, Su Jingzhen directly pulled Xuening from the branch to the top of the tree.
Even in the darkness, the top of the tree provided more opportunities to react.
The two of them adjusted their movements to the minimum, almost holding their breath.
They were afraid to miss any slight movement around them.
However, after nearly an incense stick’s worth of time, the surrounding void remained silent, with no signs of movement.
Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed: “The person coming is very patient.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his spirit still on high alert.
The storage ring on his hand suddenly flashed, and the black brick was already in his hand.
He was ready to fight at any moment.
On the other side, Xuening held Su Jingzhen’s hand with one hand and took out the dark green ruler from her own storage ring with the other.
Although she was an excellent alchemist, her cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment level.
In critical moments, she could also burst out some combat power.
The two of them didn’t think about leaving this place.
They knew that the killer in the dark was waiting for them to make a move, and then they would reveal their weakness.
“Not moving unless the enemy moves” was the best state for the two of them at this time.
However, while the two of them were on high alert within the formation, the street outside the formation was still as usual, with a sparse crowd.
As time passed, the street even fell into silence.
It was clear that this was a residential area for low-level cultivators in Yunmeng City, and there wasn’t much nightlife at night.
At this time, on the rooftop adjacent to the area covered by the formation, a black-clothed person sat quietly.
Next to him lay two corpses, clearly not dead for long.
“As I said these guys from Treasure Gathering Pavilion are all hypocrites and only care about their own interests, and they will definitely do whatever it takes.”
The black-clothed person’s gaze swept towards the area covered by the formation, and then kicked the two corpses beside him.
A disdainful smile played on his lips.
Before his words had even fallen, a sudden gust of wind was heard.
On the opposite side, closest to the formation, a figure wrapped in black robes emerged, walking along the rooftop.
He was about to enter the formation.
“Either leave or die!”
Seeing this guy sneaking over, the black-clothed person sitting on the rooftop frowned, directly shouted out coldly.
Upon hearing this voice, the person preparing to enter the formation was startled, and his gaze turned towards this side.
A killing intent suddenly appeared on his face.
“Is there another one?”
“Then I’ll take care of you first!”
Hearing this shout, the guy didn’t retreat, but instead came towards this side.
He stepped on a dagger emitting a cold, dark aura.
Flying Sword Technique! He was at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
When he reached the rooftop, the dagger in his hand suddenly flew back to him.
At this moment, his aura suddenly burst forth.
The dagger directly stabbed towards the black-clothed person sitting on the rooftop.
He was actually a Golden Core cultivator!
“Heh heh, not bad cultivation, but your eyes are not good.”
“Remember to pay attention in your next life.”
He lightly laughed, and then his right hand’s middle finger and index finger converged.
He lightly pointed at the guy who was attacking him, aiming at his forehead.
A sharp, fierce sword aura suddenly shot out from his fingertip.
As this sword aura was released, his aura also burst forth.
Nascent Soul old monster!
The other guy’s dagger was still in mid-air, but his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He had been too arrogant and hadn’t set up enough defenses for himself.
When he sensed the opponent’s cultivation, he wanted to retreat and escape, but it was already too late.
In the chaos, he couldn’t even resist this one sword attack.
The fierce sword aura instantly pierced through his forehead.
His entire body seemed to lose all strength, and he directly fell from mid-air.
But on his forehead, a small blood hole had already appeared.
From his forehead to the back of his head, the fierce sword aura had already shattered his entire skull.
Even with Golden Core cultivation, he was dead beyond dead.
The black-clothed person’s expression was calm, and with a wave of his hand, the fallen corpse was moved to the side of the other two corpses.
The entire process didn’t make a big commotion.
“Wanting to kill my disciple, I’ll see how many Golden Core cultivators the Feng family can mobilize.”
Looking at the three corpses, he lightly laughed again.
And this old guy was none other than Shen Yifeng, Su Jingzhen’s master.
In the Qingzhou region, a Nascent Soul cultivator was a top-tier fighting force, and it was impossible to mobilize one for a simple assassination.
Moreover, killing two Foundation Establishment juniors didn’t even require a Nascent Soul cultivator.
And since he was personally guarding here, even if the opponent really sent a Nascent Soul old monster, he was confident he could protect Su Jingzhen completely.
As for Golden Core cultivators, it was one for one, two for two.
At this time, his gaze turned back to the area covered by the formation.
As if he could see through the formation and observe the situation inside.
“This kid is excellent in all aspects, and his vigilance is also strong, but he lacks experience.”
“Tonight, you kid just maintain this state.”
Shen Yifeng muttered to himself, still sitting on the rooftop.
He even took out a wine jug and started drinking.
On this dark and windy night, with killers coming and going, killing people while drinking wine, it was quite an interesting scene.
…
On the other side, the Spirit Sound Inn had already been completely destroyed.
But the situation here was gradually returning to order.
It was no longer as chaotic as when it had just collapsed.
At this time, above the ruins of the Spirit Sound Inn, there were over a dozen Golden Core cultivators’ auras surrounding the area.
These Golden Core cultivators’ auras were connected, forming a kind of formation that encircled the entire region.
At this time, this area was completely sealed off, with no one allowed to enter or leave.
All of these cultivators came from Spirit Sound Valley!
And in the center, there were two even stronger auras standing in mid-air.
Both of these auras had reached the Nascent Soul level.
One of them was an old woman, wearing a flower-patterned dress and a large silver hairpin, with a rather eerie appearance.
The other was an old man, standing with a long sword, exuding a fierce aura.
Feng Qingya, with a grey head and a dusty face, stood beside him, her expression somewhat disheveled, but her aura was stable, without any signs of injury.
She glared at the old woman beside her.
“Grandma Yinhua, Spirit Sound Valley owes me an explanation!”
