Chapter 477 Shocking Change
Miao Yilan was puzzled, "Remind of what?"

Lan Qiaoyan: "How do I know? We can say that he definitely said it, but what he said directly is very simple. He doesn't want us to get too close to Gong Shaoci."

Miao Yilan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't it jealous?"

Lan Qiaoyan glanced at her daughter, "Don't you know his background? For a fellow like him, if he was really jealous, would he be so obvious? Would he come to us and tell us that he was jealous? I told you that he is a man of love and justice at heart." Then she fell into deep thought and muttered, "What's wrong with Gong Shaoci? Can't stand Gong Shaoci's character? It seems that your father really needs to check this matter."

Shi Chun and Wu Jin had just walked a short distance after leaving the inn when a disciple from Wukang Mountain suddenly appeared and stopped them.

Why could they tell at first glance that he was a disciple of Wukang Mountain? Because he was wearing the uniform of Wukang Mountain. The two of them were definitely familiar with Wukang Mountain's clothes, but he looked a little unfamiliar. However, they could not recognize all the disciples of Wukang Mountain.

The visitor bowed to the two and said, "Two uncles, the sect master wants to see you."

The two were startled, and Wu Jinliang asked suspiciously, "Bian Weiying is here?"

The visitor smiled and nodded, extending his hand to lead the way, "Please follow me."

Shi Chun and the other man made eye contact, but instead of refusing, they followed him directly. However, Wu Jinliang picked up a gourd and carried it on his back.

The group of three did not go to the island, but walked towards the beach.

They walked along a sandy beach and entered a rocky area. Seeing that they were getting further and further away, Shi Chun and the other person's eyes met again.

Afterwards, Shi Chun took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and nose, and Wu Jinliang also opened the gourd mouth. The two walked and observed their surroundings.

Seeing no one in sight, Shi Chun suddenly stopped and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wu Jinliang also stopped and turned his back to Shi Chun to observe.

The visitor pointed to a small island on the sea not far away and said, "It's on the island."

Shi Chun was surprised and said, "Didn't the Sect Master say that he didn't want to see me again in this life? Why did you suddenly take the initiative to see me? Is this a trick? I won't go. If she wants to see me, ask her to come over by herself."

The visitor looked helpless and sighed, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and inform them."

After saying that, he stood up and flew towards the island.

Without anyone around, Wu Jinliang asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Shi Chun: "I don't know. If it weren't for Bian Weiying, there would be nothing to worry about. They can do such sneaky things to people like us, but they are not something that can be regarded as above board. They can't do anything to us."

Wu Jinliang thought about it and it made sense. He was so angry that he even dared to challenge Gong Shaoci.

After waiting for a while, several figures suddenly jumped out from the sea water that was crashing against the reefs, fell into the air, and surrounded the two of them in an instant.

Shi Chun was very familiar with the person who stood in front of him. It was none other than Bai Shuchuan with a smirk on his face. The people surrounding them were none other than the group from Jieyun Mountain, and the one wearing the clothes of a Wukang Mountain disciple was among them.

"Shi Chun, long time no see." Bai Shuchuan sneered repeatedly, then turned sideways and respectfully invited someone behind him to come forward.

Qiao Wugong jumped onto the reef, stared at Shi Chun and sneered.

They have been waiting for a long time and have made up their minds to kill Shi Chun before he can grow up, especially after watching the competition in the weapon refining world. If he is allowed to grow up, he will become a threat to Jieyun Mountain, not to mention that they have come here on orders.

He had been unable to find an opportunity to take action before, so he waited and waited. Finally, when Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang went out and left the crowd, he took decisive action.

Shi Chun: "Who are you from Jieyun Mountain?"

Qiao Wugong: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am very interested in the three treasures that you won. If you can take them out, I can save your lives. Do you understand?"

Shi Chun: "Didn't you guys carefully inquire about our experience in the Divine Fire Territory?"

Wu Jinliang chuckled.

Seeing the two of them not panicking, Qiao Wugong snorted, "Everyone says you are quite courageous. Today it seems that you are indeed very courageous."

Bai Shuchuan on the side said: "Uncle Master, why waste time talking to him? Just arrest him first, we won't be afraid that he won't hand him over."

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Shi Chun before, a grim smile appeared on his face.

Shi Chun looked back at the people around him and said calmly, "Just the seven of you?"

Qiao Wugong: "I'm already showing you a great compliment. Do you want to hand over the treasure yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?"

Wu Jinliang, who was facing away from Shi Chun, suddenly turned around and said, "Boss, those two are the gaps facing you, you can do whatever you want."

Shi Chun nodded, "I'm afraid something might happen at the inn, we need to go back quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the handkerchief in his hand turned into a silk net and instantly tied up the flustered Qiao Wugong and Bai Shuchuan together. The people in the net were terrified and a little confused.

The other five around them just stood there motionless, and some made strange humming sounds in their throats.

Shi Chun waved his hand and a red light came out. A figure flashed and the red light on his hand stopped at Qiao Wugong's heart. A red knife was inserted into his heart.

Qiao Wugong suddenly opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief and a different kind of fear.

Shi Chun's eyes also widened a little, and he saw that Qiao Wugong in front of him was withering away at a visible speed. Not only could he see the red mist of blood on Qiao Wugong's wound being injected into the blade, he could also feel that the "Blood Soul Sword" in his hand was drinking and absorbing the blood in Qiao Wugong's body.

At the same time, he also felt that the spirit sleeping in the sword seemed to be waking up.

By the time the Blood Soul Blade stopped absorbing energy, Qiao Wugong had instantly turned into a skinny corpse.

Bai Shuchuan, who was tied up with Qiao Wugong, watched his uncle-master turn into a mummy in front of him. He was almost scared to death. He tried his best to break free but couldn't, and even got bloody cuts on his body.

The strange thing was that he felt his blood surging and his vitality draining away from the wound. He glanced and saw blood mist floating out of his wound and drifting towards the knife that was stuck in his uncle's body. He was frightened and said with trembling teeth: "Master Chun, Brother Chun, everything can be discussed, any conditions can be negotiated..."

Shi Chun glanced at him. Before killing Qiao Wugong, maybe he could still consider talking about it. But now that he's killed, how can he talk? He is now confident, but he is not arrogant enough to think that he can fight against the largest sect in Shengzhou.

The knife was pulled out from the mummy, and as he watched the blood mist follow Bai Shuchuan's body, he couldn't help but cast a spell carefully to feel the magical changes in the knife.

Bai Zhuchuan was terrified. No one was willing to sit and wait for death, so he immediately cast a spell to resist. Surprisingly, it really worked. After the spell sealed the wound, it immediately stopped the blood from overflowing.

Ran Shichun's knife flashed, and the tip of the knife pierced directly into the gap in the net, cutting open Bai Zhuchuan's throat.

As he drew his sword across the sky, blood like flowing clouds flew from Bai Zhuchuan's throat wound into the 'Blood Soul Sword'.

Bai Zhuchuan, with his eyes wide open in fear, twitched and gurgled in his throat.

Shi Chun opened his five fingers with empty hands, and the "Jiaoxian Ling" flashed, loosened, and turned into a handkerchief and flew back into his hand.

His figure flashed and he circled around Wu Jinliang. With a flash of knife, the heads of five people who were standing still fell to the ground.

Then another five streams of blood flew towards the 'Blood Soul Sword' like dragons.

The six bodies withered rapidly at a visible speed.

Wu Jinliang opened his eyes wide with surprise and doubt. He knew that the knife was very evil. He would be frightened by the evil spirit in the knife whenever he held it. However, he didn't know it was so evil and could even be bloodthirsty.

Seeing that Shi Chun had closed his eyes, he was worried that he was affected by the evil spirit, so he quickly called out, "Chun Tian, ​​are you okay?"

"It's okay." Shi Chun responded and opened his eyes. He just felt that the evil spirit in the knife had officially awakened.

A bunch of magic weapons were damaged by lightning, and it was said that it was a bit troublesome to repair them. I didn't expect that it was not difficult to restore this knife. It was enough to absorb blood energy. Just now, after casting a spell to formally confirm the master-servant relationship with the evil spirit in the knife, he urged his will, and the evil spirit in the knife seemed to be laughing and dancing wildly, and the power of the "Blood Soul Knife" was wildly released.

Wu Jinliang suddenly felt his blood vessels dilating, his energy flowing backwards, his mind agitated, and he quickly cast a spell to protect his body.

What’s even more terrifying is that the blood and energy of those corpses were drained in an instant, and they turned into mummies in an instant.

Two of them that were squeezed together fell down, but the other five were still standing.

Feeling the violent and vigorous evil spirit in the knife, Shi Chun tried to suppress it with the "Demon Bathing Technique". As a result, the evil spirit immediately panicked and fled around, as if trying to escape from the knife. The blood and energy of its newly vigorous evil body was being madly absorbed by Shi Chun's body, just like the fate of the mummies.

Gradually, it lost the energy to escape and quickly became listless, as if begging for mercy from its owner.

Shi Chun slowly closed his eyes again and felt very refreshed. He could feel that the vitality of his body was becoming stronger and stronger. This confirmed that the blood energy absorbed by the 'Blood Soul Sword' could be transformed into blood energy that he could absorb. It was a pleasant surprise.

Seeing that the evil spirit was almost drained out, he stopped the operation of the "Demon Bathing Technique" and let the evil spirit go. It was still useful. The hen that laid eggs could not be killed.

Seeing him put away the sword, Wu Jinliang, who had been keeping an eye on the surroundings, immediately came closer and asked, "What's going on?"

Shi Chun said calmly: "Everything on them is yours, clean it up."

Well, Wu Jinliang immediately went to hug the mummy and search it. The first one he searched was Qiao Wugong, while Shi Chun was alert and kept watch for him.

After the two of them quickly figured out the whereabouts, they left quickly.

After returning to the inn, Shi Chun contacted Master Nan again immediately. After some communication, he stood in front of the window in silence for a while.

Finally, he left the room and went to Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi's room.

As soon as she saw this guy enter her room, Xiang Lan'er felt uncomfortable all over.

She was overthinking. Shi Chun's excitement had passed. He whispered to the two of them, "We just found out something. Gong Shaoci is an errand boy. The one who really wanted the 'Broken Wasteland Blade' was his father. He bought it for his father."

Normally, he liked to keep secrets in his own hands for future use, but he didn't know if his previous words could impress Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter, and thought it would be good if the Demonic Path could deal with the Gong family.

The two girls were not surprised. Feng Chi nodded and said, "I have suspected this for a long time. 'Broken Wasteland Blade' is not of much value to most people. It is not worth the high price he paid. It is normal that there is someone behind him. But I didn't expect that the person behind him is quite direct. It is actually his father."

Since that was the case, Shi Chun didn't say anything more.

He turned around and called everyone from the Mingshan Sect, checked out of the inn, and took them to the palace-like ship building on the sea to play, saying that it was to broaden their horizons and they were ready to go after some fun.

Shortly after they left, Gong Shaoci took people to find the innkeeper and made it clear that they wanted to buy the treasure in his hands.

The innkeeper couldn't get away with it and just said that he bought the items for someone else and that the item had already been taken away.

Gong Shaoci asked again who the buyer was, but the shopkeeper refused to say.

Gong Shaoci was not polite to a man who seemed to have no background. She directly had someone keep an eye on him and told him not to refuse a toast and drink a penalty drink, which was like putting him under house arrest.

However, not long after Gong Shaoci returned to his father to report the situation, shocking news came from the inn. The innkeeper was dead, and the two men he sent to watch over were also killed.

Gong Shaoci was shocked and rushed back to see that everyone was dead in the house. Three of them had their necks broken. The people outside didn't even hear any noise. It was the people guarding outside who smelled blood, knocked on the door and found no one responded. They pushed the door open and found something was wrong.

It is estimated that the murderer entered the house through the window, and he must be an expert.

Before Gong Shaoci could recover from this incident, another shocking piece of bad news came. His father's men came to inform him urgently that Gong Yuanzhi was dead and had been murdered.

Gong Shaoci angrily accused him of talking nonsense, but still rushed back to his father's place and found his father lying in a pool of blood with even his forehead smashed.

What was strange was that the guards outside the door did not see the murderer. They heard a bang in the house and broke in to see that Gong Yuanzhi's body was still twitching, but the murderer had disappeared.

Gong Shaoci was filled with grief and anger, but also fear. If he had not been led away by the incident at the inn, he really didn't know what would have happened to him with his father.

Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter, who were staying in the same inn, were startled by the hurried and chaotic noise in the inn. Since Gong Shaoci didn't come to explain, they went out to find out what was going on.

It would have been better if they hadn't investigated. After finding out the situation, both mother and daughter were shocked. The dead was the son of Youbi Hou of Shanbuzhou. Who was so bold?

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he was able to kill someone right under the noses of the guards and not reveal his whereabouts is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Gong Shaoci was so panicked and busy that she had no time to care about the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter could only advise him to mourn less and not stay at the scene for too long, so they went back to their room first. At the same time, they contacted the people in Bowang Tower and asked them to help contact Miao Dingyi and let him pass on the situation.

After the news was released, Lan Qiaoyan stood still in front of the window for a long time without saying anything. She thought of Shi Chun's previous reminder. Was it related to this? Did Shi Chun know something?
Miao Yilan, who had been pacing back and forth for a while, suddenly walked to her mother's side and asked with a look of surprise, "Mom, if Shichun was really reminding us to keep a distance from the Gong family before, and Uncle Gong was killed right after, is this a coincidence?"

Lan Qiaoyan immediately turned her head and stared at him, her eyes coldly saying, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. If someone hears this, it will kill him. You should at least understand that he doesn't have the strength to kill Gong Yuanzhi. He doesn't even have the qualifications to get close. You just need to know that he definitely didn't kill her. If someone really reminds us with good intentions, we must not talk nonsense to harm them, understand?"

Miao Yilan bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Lan Qiaoyan looked out the window again and sighed, "The one who died was not an ordinary person, but the son of Youbi Hou of Shanbuzhou. No one on the island can leave easily. Those who leave will be tracked down. I'm afraid we have to stay here for a while. We will definitely be questioned. Lanlan, you have to know what to say and what not to say!"

A storm suddenly arose.

A large number of people from the Shanbuzhou royal court rushed to the Xun Gate on the island at the first time, which could be described as a powerful army.

A magic circle was set up on the island immediately to cut off the mother and child talisman from any external contact.

Miao Dingyi also rushed to the mother and daughter at this time. Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter then learned that the owner of another inn had also been killed. He was the innkeeper who bought the "Broken Blade".

Gong Yuanzhi also wanted the "Broken Wasteland Blade". Was this a coincidence? The mother and daughter were terrified.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would realize that the 'Broken Blade' might not be as simple as it appears.

Some things are difficult to say to outsiders, but Lan Qiaoyan told Miao Dingyi about Shi Chun's secret warning to them before.

Miao Dingyi thought about it and told the mother and daughter that they might be overthinking it and just pretend they knew nothing. He then asked the royal guards who trapped the island to give them some convenience and he took his wife and daughter away first.

None of Shi Chun's gang members who were on the ship were spared and were all arrested and interrogated. The matter of buying and selling the "Broken Blade" was being investigated.

In order to verify the authenticity of the transaction, the huge amount of money that Shi Chun had just received was also taken out during the interrogation.

Young Master Nan did not sit idly by and tried every possible means. His "character" that made a huge profit from the gambling game also played a huge role at this moment. Many people began to intervene and make efforts. Shi Chun and his gang were quickly rescued and cleared of any connection.

This is because there were many witnesses on the palace-style ship who could prove that Shi Chun and his gang were playing on the gambling boat when the murder occurred.

If there were no hard evidence, Young Master Nan's friends might not dare to intervene in this matter. After all, the dead person was the son of Marquis Youbi.

However, the 5 billion left over from that deal was not returned along with the money, as they said it would have to wait until the investigation was completed.

On the rooftop railing of the ship, Master Nan and Shi Chun stood side by side, whispering in the wind.

"Don't worry about the money. You won the treasure with your own ability, and the transaction was a normal transaction. They all said that nothing will happen, and they have given guarantees. When the storm has passed, the royal court will return the money as soon as possible. The problem now is that you are involved in these two strange murders. I don't know if the Gong family will be angry with you, but Gong Shaoci has indeed been offended by you. You have indeed made a big fuss this time. So many people in the Divine Fire Domain have died because of you, and they are all things that you didn't clean up. I don't know how many people are watching you. You should restrain yourself in the near future, otherwise something will definitely happen. You have so much money in your hands, which is enough for you to have food and clothing. Just stay at home for a while. If you have anything, contact me and I will arrange someone to run errands for you."

While Shi Chun was humming, he was a little distracted, thinking about the cause of Gong Yuanzhi's death. He initially thought that it was done by the Tianyi lineage of the Demonic Dao, but Xiang Lan'er clearly told him that it was not the case. The higher-ups were even asking them about the relevant situation. Who could have done it then?
