C2 Shade of Pinglin's Shade

crescent bay

The silence was terrifyingly still. Even though it was daytime, it still gave off a sinister feeling. That feeling went straight to the brain and sent shivers down one's spine. From time to time, there would be vultures flying about in the sky. The vultures loved to peck at rotten meat, making people feel nauseous just by looking at it …

The wind raged across the desert. A few poplar trees in the distance were still stubbornly living, and from time to time, the wind carried a putrid stench across the crescent moon bay, assaulting this area.

Suddenly, a person drilled his way out of the desert. His appearance was extremely terrifying. A third of his face was missing, and blood was trickling down his face. It dyed the Crescent Moon Bay red. What was even more frightening was that his hands seemed to have been bitten by something. Rotten.

The man climbed out of the desert with all his might. and then scream for help,

However, no matter how much he yelled, it was of no avail. As the sun was about to set, the man gave up all hope. It was only because he understood that as long as the sky turned dark, he would be fine. No one passes through the desert.

So he screamed for help, once, twice, three times, until his throat cried out for joy. Faintly dizzy, he fell into the desert. At this time, the desert became even more quiet.

As the man passed out, he tried to wake himself up. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but to look into the distance. He seemed to see some shadows flashing by. He really wished it was a person moving, but when he saw clearly, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat because it was dozens of wolves eyeing him covetously. The wolves looked so hungry that it made one's hair stand on end. It was like falling from heaven to hell, making one feel desperate.

The wolves were watching him, too, and the wolves were waiting for the best moment to attack. The shadow of the moon was even more eerie as the man climbed toward the nearest poplar tree with all his might. Because he knew that only the dying tree could save him. Dressed in blood, he looked even redder under the moonlight.

The wolf saw him squirming and rushed at him like a bolt of lightning. He shouted in his heart, "My life is over!" Just as the wolf was about to approach him, a knife light shone into the wolf's eyes.

The wolf stopped in its tracks. It glared at the person wielding the saber. Its ferocity was plain to see.

The man opened his eyes and saw the knife-wielding man standing in front of him, confronting the wolf. He murmured, "The heavens never stopped me!"

The saber-wielding person suddenly shouted, "You beast, hurry up and leave!"

The wolf seemed unwilling to leave, unwilling to throw away the dinner that was about to reach his mouth. The wolves quickly attacked, and the man swung his broadsword horizontally. The wolf was instantly chopped into pieces. Blood splattered all over his body, and there were still some wolf's blood dripping from the blade.

The knife stopped. The wolves either died or fled.

The man watched the rest of the wolves run away. The large blade fell straight from his hand onto the ground. He sat his butt on the ground and said, "That was close. I almost went to see the King of Hell!"

That person said to him, "Thank you, brother, for saving my life!"

The sabre wielder said, "I didn't mean to save you. I was just passing by."

That person said, "It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not. In the end, you were the one who saved my life.

The sabre wielding person said, "Looking at your sorry state, you obviously haven't eaten for a few days!"

That person said, "Brother, please excuse me. I wandered into the desert. to get lost. "

As he spoke, he took out some beef jerky and a jug of wine

He threw it to the man and said, "Regardless of what you can do to save him, let's drink first!"

That person said, "That's good."

With that, he removed the lid of the pot and gulped it down. and took a big bite of beef,

That person said, "I am Liu Hai. May I ask what your name is?"

The sabre wielder said, "He Dacheng."

Liu Hai said, "So it's Brother He."

Liu Hai continued: "Mo, you're that Desert Blade Master He Dacheng?"

He Dacheng answered, "Yes, I am."

Liu Hai said, "How could Brother He pass by here?"

He Dacheng said, "I was planning to go to the Mo Residence, but I didn't expect to be here before nightfall. When we neared the Crescent Moon Bay, I saw a pack of wolves surrounding you."

Liu Hai said, "So that's how it is!"

"Brother Liu, can you still walk?" He Dacheng's Dao

Liu Hai sighed, "It's not bad!"

He Dacheng said, "Then let's sleep out for the night. "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Mo Residence."

With that, he leaned against the poplar tree and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Liu Hai could not sleep. He thought, was the one chasing after him an assassin or a desert horse bandit?

Liu Hai looked at the pitch-black sky. Suddenly, Liu Hai felt an inexplicable sense of fear. He felt that tonight was another sleepless night.

Le Shao and Guan Changfeng walked back to the Mo Residence and found the wine cellar. Guan Changfeng took out two jars at the same time. He threw a jar to Le Shao.

Guan ZhangFeng tore the mud seal and said, "Brother, drink." With that, he took a big gulp.

"Good wine, the Mo Clan actually has this kind of good wine, haha!"

Le Shaobo did not show any weakness and also took a big gulp. He felt extremely spicy and choked to the point of tears.

Guan ZhangFeng laughed, "Looks like the young neighbors don't drink much!" This wine is very good! "

Le Shaofang said, "To be honest, I'm not used to drinking this kind of wine, big brother."

"The young neighbors have been living in the Central Plains for a long time, it's no wonder that they aren't used to this kind of strong wine. This wine is extremely fragrant and has been stored here for at least twenty years."

Le Shao said, "It looks like big brother is from Dong Jiu."

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Let's go see who killed Manor Lord Mo."

Le Shao said happily: "With Big Brother here, we will definitely find the culprit."

Guan ZhangFeng said, "That's enough." You don't need to flatter me. Whether I can find it or not depends on the will of heaven! "

With that, the two of them walked into the hall. They carefully examined Mo Jianhui's corpse, but could not find anything.

Guan Changfeng looked again. What Mo Jianhui found was a sword piercing into his heart. The sword technique was tricky and ruthless. His attacks were ruthless.

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Looks like Manor Lord Mo was killed by someone in one slash." Manor Lord Mo's martial arts can be considered a first-rate expert, so how could he be killed by a single sword strike? "

Young Master Le asked, "Can't you tell who did it?"

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Don't worry. Let's take a look at the other corpses."

The two looked at the other corpses and found that they also had a sword to their throats.

The two pondered.

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Could it have been killed by the Chou family?"

Le Shao said, "I don't think so. From what I know, Manor Lord Mo doesn't seem to have any enemies. "

Guan ZhangFeng answered, "Hard to say." After saying that, he looked at the corpse again. The heart, liver, spleen and lungs that suddenly discovered the corpse have all disappeared. "

Le Shao'er couldn't help falling back when he saw the body. He said angrily, "Killing someone and taking their organs away? How vicious!"

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Could it be him?"

Young Master Le said, "Who is it!"

Guan ZhangFeng said, "Evil spirits!"

Le Shao asked: "Who is the evil spirit?"

Guan ZhangFeng said, "I have not seen him either. No one knows his name, only that he possesses a strange Evil Spirit Martial Art and a strange personality. Rumor has it that evil spirits like to use human organs to cultivate."

Young Master Le said, "It must be him!"

Guan Changfeng replied, "But I heard that the evil spirit had disappeared ten years ago."

"Did you meet anyone on your way to the desert?" Guan Changfeng suddenly said,

"I met a person at a lake in the desert. That person held Xiao. What's strange is that I felt that he was right in front of me, but I just couldn't see his person."

Guan Changfeng said, "Will you hear the flute?"

Young Master Le said, "How would Big Brother know!"

Guan ZhangFeng answered, "He is the master of the Jade Lake Palace, Gu Hongyan. Of course the young neighbors can't see him."

"No wonder I couldn't see through him. I couldn't even exchange three blows with him."

Guan ZhangFeng said, "You even fought with him?"

Young Master Le said, "That's right! It was as if he hadn't done his best. Otherwise, I won't be able to escape even a single blow. "

"Not to mention you, even I can't even take ten moves from him."

Le Shaofang said, "Big Brother is not his match either."

Guan Changfeng said, "It is said that when Gu Hongyan fights with people, he never uses his weapon, but he never leaves Xiao Yuan."

Young Master Le said, "No wonder!"

Guan Changfeng said, "I presume you have also heard of the three most mysterious people in this world, namely, Gu Hongyan, Xiao Daoran, and Dongfang Xu. And of those, Dongfang Xu is the most mysterious."

Le Shao said, "I've heard my teacher say that."

The night was about to pass. Dawn was approaching, and the Mo Clan Manor was shrouded in gloom. It was as though the ghosts of the wronged were lingering, or as if Mo Jianhui had died an unjust death and was unwilling to leave. The night was so quiet that it gave people goosebumps.

"It's almost dawn. Let's go!"

"Where is big brother going?" Young Master Le said:

Guan ZhangFeng shook his head, "Traveling far and wide to find the culprit."

"Where are you going?" Guan ZhangFeng said:

"I don't know yet!" I want to see if I can find Autumn's Intent. If I can't, then I will return to the Central Plains. " Young Master Le said:

"Oh, so your little brother is still so sentimental." Guan Changfeng smiled and said,

"Big brother, don't make fun of me. She came with me, and now that we've lost her information, I feel guilty. I can't even protect a girl, how can I find brother?" Young Master Le said next to him;

"Don't be discouraged, little brother. When the heavens meet, Miss Qiuyi will definitely be found." Guan ZhangFeng said:

Young Master Le looked off into the distance and thought, "Qiu Yi, just where are you?"

"If you don't come with me, we can look out for each other. Firstly, we'll look for Miss Qiu Yi, and secondly we'll look for the murderer." Guan ZhangFeng said:

"Sure." ""

When they were almost at the white of the eastern fish belly, the two figures flashed and disappeared into the boundless night sky.

Autumn had just woken up. He found himself in bed. There was nothing by his side, only a stone table. Qiu Yi was still afraid when she thought of that night. She saw everyone from the Mo Clan running around like madmen. She saw that someone was digging out their hearts and lungs. Unable to bear it any longer, she rushed over and wanted to kill that person right away.

When Autumn was close to that person, that person suddenly turned his head to look at Autumn Leaf. That person's face had no luster on it, and he had a terrifying look on his face.

At this moment, Qiu Yi tripped over something beneath her feet. He immediately fainted. When he saw the autumn, his eyes turned green and he pounced over. At this moment, someone picked up the autumn and left. A sentence came from afar, "Don't be too arrogant." The man stood rooted to the spot. He had his acupoints pierced

Qiuyi got off the bed and walked out of the cave to take a look. He nearly fainted. She thought, "This cave is actually in the middle of the cliff." The cliff was at least three zhang in length, and the autumn air had retreated back into the cave. A man in a white robe was standing in front of her, as if he had appeared out of thin air, like a ghost, and Autumn hadn't noticed.

Qiu Yi coldly said, "Who is your esteemed self? "What is this place?"

That person said, "I will save you. Of course I won't harm you. "

Qiuyi thought: "It's over. Young Master Le has disappeared somewhere! "

That person asked, "Miss, are you feeling better?"

Qiu Yi asked, "When you saved me that night, did you see my friend?"

That person said, "Is it a young man?"

Qiu Yi replied, "Yes!"

The person said, "I didn't see it." The man's tone was emotionless. Cold as ice.

Qiu Yi said, "You still haven't told me who you are. "What is this place?"

That person said, "Since the time has come, I will naturally tell you. Take good care of yourself. I will come every five days. " With that, he disappeared.

Qiu Yi shouted, "Hey, don't go!"

That person said, "Miss will know about it in the future. There's dried food next door …"

Qiu Yi gloomily sat on the bed, thinking about Le Shao'er and murmured, "It's alright, he has such good kung fu."

After two days of travel. Liu Hai and He Dacheng finally arrived at the Mo Residence. However, the two of them saw that the door was still open. They saw that there was no one inside and it even had a slightly stinky smell. It made people want to vomit. The two of them rushed to the main hall. The scene in front of them stunned them. Corpses were everywhere, and their hearts and other organs were nowhere to be seen.

The two of them looked around and saw Mo Jianhui's head in the middle of the hall. The two of them looked at each other and realised that the entire Mo Clan had been exterminated.

Liu Hai said, "Who did it?"

He Dacheng said, "Don't you find it strange, Brother Liu? "He killed someone and took away their organs."

Liu Hai said, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten. Who was so cruel?"

He Dacheng said, "Brother Liu." Let's hurry up and leave. "

Liu Hai said, "Let's see if we can find any clues." With that, he searched the entire manor.

He Dacheng said, "Can't find it?"

Liu Hai nodded

"It seems like this is a conspiracy, and it was planned long ago." He Dacheng's Dao

"What do you think, Brother He?" Liu Hai said:

"We'd better look for the mastermind behind this." He Dacheng said:

"I agree with Brother He." Liu Hai said:

The two of them looked at this miserable scene before leaving.

At this time, the martial arts world was once again in turmoil.
