C19 Evil spirit

Hearing Heaven's Inquisition's words, Ling'er touched her tears, and thought for a moment before nodding. She repeatedly reminded Heaven's Inquisition to be careful and not get hurt. It was only when Heaven's Inquisition pushed her out of the room did she shut her mouth and return to her room resentfully.

Before dawn the next day, Heaven's Inquisition set off, carrying his simple luggage and riding a horse. After bidding farewell to his grandfather's room, they set off.

At the same time, Wuyou and his three martial uncles were already on their way to Nanjing City. Lu Changding was baffled. His master had clearly said that the matter of the Water Blocking Palace was not to be investigated, but why did he suddenly change his mind yesterday?

He asked Wu You what he had said to his master. Wu You gave a bright smile, showing a row of neat teeth as he made a face. He did not intend to tell the uncles that he was the one who persuaded the Grand Master.

On the mountain road in the early morning, Wuyou and the three martial uncles rode their horses past, the water droplets on the grass shining differently under the sunlight.

It was like a carefree smile, not inferior to the sun in the slightest. Worryfree was a person who could not afford to be idle. Moreover, it was not easy for him to obtain the permission of his Grand Master to go down the mountain and play.

Wu You rode his horse and immediately rushed to the front of his senior uncles, completely ignoring their greetings. There was no need to worry about his master going back to punish him, nor was there any need to worry about him going back to repent.

Thus, at this moment, Wuyou was like a little bird that flew out of its cage. Right now, he had no idea what kind of danger he would face in the near future.

They galloped on their horses and arrived at Nanjing on the evening of the second day. Nanjing was an ancient city where all the emperors had built their cities before.

So Nanjing was a city with a lot of history. Compared to Xunyang City, Nanjing was several times larger. Of course, the prosperity here was also incomparable, almost comparable to the capital.

By the time they arrived, the lanterns had already been lit. They dismounted their horses and walked into the city. This was the first time they came to a bustling old city like Nanjing.

He was very curious about everything. Right now, they were looking for an inn to rest at. It was very lively walking on the street, as there were many peddlers selling their wares by the side of the road.

The shouts rose and fell one after another. Wuyou led the horse over to take a look at the place and quietly walked at the front. The bustling street made Wuyou think it was some kind of temple party or lantern festival.

However, he knew that this was the normal state of Nanjing at night. Worryfree liked such a lively atmosphere. He had almost forgotten the reason why he was here.

Lu Changding and the other two moved through the bustling crowd, following worry-free footsteps. However, there were too many of them, and they were moving too fast for them to keep up.

Therefore, before long, he had disappeared without a trace of Wuyou. Lu Changding was very angry. As long as his Grand Master wasn't around, Wuyou would immediately jump up and down in anger.

It seemed like the only person in this world that could deal with him was the Free and Unrestrained Child. Now, even his tracks could not be found. The only thing they could do was split up and look around.

After the meeting place had been agreed upon, the three senior disciples of Wu Dang started to search the entire city for trouble. However, they couldn't find any signs of danger even after they searched through the entire street.

When the three of them returned to the rendezvous point and found out that the other party wasn't looking for them, they couldn't help but start to worry. Wu You's kung fu was indeed worrisome.

It was useless to just stand there and worry. The three of them discussed for a while, then decided to act according to their original plan. They first found an inn to settle down in, then split up and search.

Originally, their purpose of this trip was to look for the people from the Water Curtain Palace, but now, they were looking for someone without any worries. Lu Changding was quite angry, saying that when he found this brat, he would definitely give him a good beating.

The bustling city of Nanjing was even more mysterious under the illumination of the lanterns. However, at this time, Wuyou discovered that he couldn't find Martial Uncle and the others.

Wu You was still confused. It was his senior and the rest that were following him, but why couldn't he find them now? It was his first time in Nanjing, so he was unfamiliar with this place.

However, Wuyou never expected that his greed for fun would cause him to lose contact with the Martial uncles. Wuyou was an optimistic person, so he wasn't worried at all.

Since he was already an adult, he didn't have to worry about anything. When he had enough fun later, he would go find his Senior Uncle and the others. However, he didn't know that his Senior Uncle and the others were already running all over Nanjing.

Worryfree looked everywhere and didn't know that he was being watched. These people were either people or people from the Palace.

Of course, the white-haired man wouldn't be that foolish. Although he told them where they were going to hold the assembly, they still had to prepare. They knew that Wu Dang's people would come, so they had already made sufficient preparations.

The people of the Water Palace had made sufficient preparations in Nanjing. Ever since they entered the city, they had already set their eyes on them. Now, they didn't need to expend any energy to do so, and Wuyou had already lost himself.

The people following them would report this to their leader, who was also the leader of the Nanjing branch. He was the white-haired man's superior and directly passed on the orders.

He did not know his real name, but everyone called him Hu Yidao. Perhaps it was because of the scar on his face that extended from the corner of his left eye all the way down to his neck.

Dao Ba made him look very ferocious. When someone came in to report, Dao Ba was listening to the white-haired man's detailed account of the day.

He only knew that the three of them were from Wu Dang, but he did not know the identity of Tian Wen. Therefore, he could only inform Hu Yihao that not only were the four Wu Dang people who came to find trouble with him today, but there was also a strong youth.

There didn't seem to be such a character in the martial arts world. Logically speaking, if someone had such a high level of martial arts at such a young age, he or she would definitely become famous in the martial arts world.

Hu Yidao had never heard of any of the people in the white-haired man's group, but since someone from Wudang had already arrived, he might as well take care of them first. He heard from the man that one of them had wandered off with the other three.

Wu Dang's Seven Noble Men were very influential in the martial arts world, so they all knew Lu Changting and the others. Hu Yidao then asked the white-haired man, who was the younger one?

The white-haired man naturally didn't know who Worryfree was, so he told Hu Yidao that he was a martial arts junior. His martial arts were also lacking, so there was no need to take him seriously.

Hu Yidao nodded his head and told his men not to bother about Wuyou, as long as they kept an eye on the three of them. Their mission this time was to kill the three of them and put the blame on Wu Dang.

Wu Dang's position in the martial arts world was one of the top, and so far, there were still many people who admired Wu Dang. If this matter was spread out, then all the major sects, including Wu Dang, would be unable to hold back and would go to the Devil Sect to settle the score.

This was the mission that the Palace Master had secretly assigned to him. If Hu Yidao could successfully complete this task, perhaps the Palace Master would be happy and give him a promotion. He might even be able to go to the headquarters to do something.

After hearing from the higher-ups that the Palace Mistress attached great importance to this mission, she knew that Wu Dang's men would not be easy to deal with, so she specially sent a few strong men over from the headquarters.

Thinking of those people, Hu Yidao felt his heart go numb. He had never known that the Palace of Water Control had such a powerful character. It was terrifying.

A few days ago, they had been ordered by the Palace Master to arrive at Nanjing City. When Hu Yidao received them, he was truly shocked.

There were four people in their party, three men and one woman. Even though he said that, Hu Yidao was not sure if it was a man or a woman.

These four people were all very weird, they had a name that made people tremble in fear, and that was the name of the evil spirits. These four people had already gone extinct ten years ago, but for some reason, they had served in the Palace.

Compared to back then, the evil spirit that had reappeared in the martial world was much more powerful, and it also made people tremble in fear. One of the beauties was the only girl inside, but her martial arts skills were not inferior to the others.

According to legend, the martial arts she practiced were carried by living people, shocking the world. The other three people of the Demon Clan were also elusive, and it was said that their martial arts skills were also very strange.

Not only were their martial arts strange and cautious, but their looks were also deformed from practicing martial arts. Everyone who saw this felt a bit scared, but they didn't dare to make a sound. Therefore, when Hu Yihao received them yesterday, he was quite shocked.

Although Hu Yidao had worked in the Palace for many years, like most people, he didn't know where the headquarters was. He also didn't know who the palace master was or what he looked like.

However, these four people were different. They were people who had always been by the side of the Mistress. Hu Yiyan arranged for them to stay in their own inn, and tonight, they would probably take action to assassinate Wu Dang and the other two gentlemen.

At this time, Lu Changding and the other two had already returned to the inn. They had searched for another day, but to no avail. They didn't know where that boy Wuyou had run off to.

The curtain of night quickly descended. Lu Changding stood by the window of the inn and watched the dark night outside. He could not help but worry about the safety of the inn.

Because he felt that something bad might happen tonight. This kind of bad premonition constantly revolved around him and blended into the darkness. It was so dense that he couldn't disperse it, nor could he disperse it, and he couldn't avoid it.

The other two sat at the table and also felt that the atmosphere wasn't right tonight, as if some danger was approaching. The three sat there without speaking.

The candlelight on the table began to slightly jump. Wenqing turned around and saw that the window had already been closed by Lu Changding. There was no wind at all.

As the frequency of the flickering candles increased, the small room in the inn became dark and bright. The three of them gripped their swords tightly. It seemed that someone was looking for trouble.

Judging from his aura, he should be very strong. Finally, the candle flickered for the last time and went out. It was dark and quiet.

The three of them still did not move, only closing their eyes and quietly listening to the sounds around them. At this point, they could only adopt an unchanging stance.

Suddenly, Lu Changding heard a slight noise. He pushed open the window and used his sword to block the strange looking dart.

As the window was opened, moonlight shone in, allowing the room to be seen even more clearly. The three of them stood up and stared at each other.

They didn't know who was coming, nor did they know from which direction he would barge in. Thus, the three of them were extremely tense.

Without hearing a sound, a black shadow flew in through the window and started tangling with Lu Changding. The other two didn't move, only rustling sounds could be heard in the darkness.

However, there was no sound of metal clashing. Lu Changding's weapon was a sword, which meant that Lu Changding did not have any advantage in front of this man.

Just as Xiao Wen Chang wanted to help, another dart flew in from outside the window. He quickly tilted his head, and the dart deeply embedded itself into the wall.
