Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 573 1 The bait is lost and the cat is greedy

The shallow stream brings fish into the deep pool, and the yellow sand rolls and bleeds.

In the dark and deep ravine of Luanya Mountain, beside a pool of water, two people were sitting.

This pond is a bit strange. The water flowing in is crystal clear, with fishes scurrying around, but the water flowing out is full of blood, with dead fish floating. Inside the pond, yellow sand is rolling and surging!

A fishing hook sank into the water. The hook could not be seen clearly, only the line. The man holding the fishing hook was wearing a bamboo hat and had cold eyes. He was looking at the water surface coldly. He must be waiting for the fish to take the bait!

Another man, lying on his back, drinking, with a slightly fat belly, looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a beard around his mouth that was wet and dripping with wine! It is worth mentioning that the thing tied around his waist seemed to be an arrow, bent into a circle and put around his waist. At this time, he whispered:

"What kind of fish are you fishing for? I don't understand!"

"If the fish I want to catch isn't taking the bait, of course I have to change the bait!"

The man holding the fishing rod had a smile on his face, it was a very evil smile and his eyes were really cold!

"You wanted to change the bait, why didn't you do it yourself? You let me shoot an arrow, but the bait didn't get changed, and I even shot down the original bait with one arrow. You can't blame me for this!"

The person lying on his back seems to be fond of wine. He sticks out his tongue, waiting for the last drop of wine in the jug.

The man holding the pole pondered for a long time and then sighed:

"If the Ji family can't get the Tianxia Xinghetu, it will be really difficult for them to compete with Xuantian Pavilion!"

"So, I don't understand what you are planning. Instead of dealing with the Ouyang family of Jianying City, it is better to directly destroy the Huangfu family. The wine of Jianying City is always a little bit lacking!"

"Wait until he comes, and ask him yourself!"

The person lying on his back sat up suddenly with a look of surprise upon hearing this!

"Will he come in person? Is this small Jianying City worth his visit?"

"How can I see through him? Logically, someone should come forward. It's not convenient for me to show up. What about you? Killing someone is fine, but I'm really worried about this brain-intensive work!"

The drinker lay down again, sticking out his tongue, waiting for the last drop of wine, he seemed not to care at all!

"Hehe, is having brains useful? To deal with the most powerful people, you need absolute strength!"

The man holding the rod looked at the straight hook that emerged from the water and said solemnly:

"The water in the Xingxuan River has turned muddy. Logically, the person in charge should be here by now!"

"Young Master, the bait has disappeared, and the people from Xuantian Sect didn't take the bait. What should we do next?"

After the man lying on his back finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, smiled slightly, and said:

"Now that you're here, show up!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be here!"

A figure flashed in the mountain stream. This person was none other than the bald old man who played chess in Banziqi Tower, and also Ji Qingli's master as mentioned by Ouyang Zhiqing. He stood on the other side of the pool, not looking at the people who were drinking and talking, but at the person holding the pole!

"Not only did you lose the bait, but you also attracted a greedy cat that wanted to eat the fish!"

The straight hook of the angler went into the water again, and of course the fish floated up again. Each fish was caught in a long line, it was really bloody!

After looking at it for a long time, the bald old man exclaimed:

"It's you! You, how could you still be alive? Didn't the Demon Slayer Hall execute you back then?"

"Long time no see, Lord Xingfa Lingling!"

The tone of the man holding the fishing rod was full of sarcasm. He seemed to be very familiar with this person and was very disdainful of his identity!

The bald old man turned to look at the man lying on his back drinking and roared:

"Ji Jingchun, won't you explain?"

The man lying on his back took a big sip of wine and licked his beard, which was covered with wine drops!

"You are the leader of Yiling after all, and you are old, why are you so excited? I am just following orders. Since he is alive, it means that the Demon Extermination Hall does not admit that he is guilty, or the Demon Extermination Hall has shown mercy. It is not my turn to explain this matter!"

The bald old man frowned and asked softly:

"Follow orders? Where are Qingfeng's orders?"

This time, Ji Jingchun, who was lying on his back drinking, did not respond.

The man holding the fishing rod spoke!

"Back then, Ling Shuanggu chose you, so I should naturally die. Let's go. It is not Xing Fa Ling's duty to kill the rebellious people of the Ji family!"

The bald old man had already started practicing his internal energy, and he had no intention of stopping because the man in front of him was the rebel of the Ji family, and he should have been dead long ago!

Ji Jingchun, who was lying on his back, sat up and said:

"Okay, you should go now. As far as I know, the head of the Demon Slayer Hall will soon arrive in Jianying City. You should go and see if the old senior from the Demon Slayer Hall will kill him. You can decide later! Besides, if you two fight here, it will embarrass me! Who should I help?"

Ji Jingchun lay down again after he finished drinking. He stuck out his tongue, waiting for the last drop of wine, and sighed softly:

"I made a bad shot. The bait is gone, the fish I was supposed to catch is nowhere to be seen, and you came here for no reason! What a mistake!"

The bald old man slowly finished his work, but his brows were still furrowed. The matter of Jian Yingcheng was beyond his expectation. However, he finally knew who was moving the chess piece of the former young master of the Ji family. But he didn't understand if it was Ji Qingfeng's chess piece? Because there were not many people who could mobilize Ling Shou to come in person!

What the bald old man didn't understand was that the man who was fishing had come back to life and was even planning to capture Jian Yingcheng!

The bald old man pondered for a long time, but only asked one question!

"Where's the young master?"

"You really just ran into someone you know, and your brain is not working anymore? How would we know? Didn't I tell you that you made a mistake? Get out of here, you're annoying! You do your thing, we do ours, why did you have to find us?"

Ji Jingchun, who was drinking, was angry because he was already very annoyed. Their original intention was to hurt Princess Qingshan so that the people of Xuantian Sect could take action. But now? Princess Qingshan was injured, but the young master was gone, and the people of Xuantian Sect had no target!

In fact, Ji Jingchun had no need to be angry, because the people of Xuantian Sect had a map of the world's stars, and they knew where Shen Yichen had gone. As for whether the people of Xuantian Sect would take action, only God knew!

The bald old man left, full of doubts, but he still reminded:

"Ouyang Zhengxiong has already taken control of all the power of the Ouyang family. You two better be careful. Don't die here, or it will be hard to tell who is loyal and who is treacherous!"

After a long time, Ji Jingchun, who was lying on his back drinking, threw the wine directly into the deep pool and complained:

"I said Jian Yingcheng's wine wasn't tasty. It seems he has been following the young master!"

"Wait, Young Master, when he enters Jianying City, the people of Xuantian Sect will definitely not react!"

"Do we have enough people? Ouyang Zhengxiong is really amazing!"

The man holding the fishing rod did not respond. Instead, he looked at the straight hook that had surfaced again and muttered to himself:

"My bait has already entered the pond. Now it depends on how the person who set it up uses it. I think it's time to come!"

The man holding the fishing rod raised his head and looked towards the south. He was looking at the direction of Zhongzhou. He was waiting for someone, the person who would make him surrender willingly, the person who saved him from the death row of the Demon-Slaying Hall.

He really waited for someone!

Another person came to the deep pool and knelt on one knee!

"Reporting to the Master, Murong Yanbo has entered Yingzhou from Manghuang!"

The man holding the fishing rod was delighted when he heard this, and said in a cold voice:

"Send a message to Zhongzhou, and the matter of Youzhou can be settled!"

"Yes!"

The messenger has left!

"Ah! What about the young master and his fiancée? Aren't we being too cruel?"

Ji Jingchun, lying on his back, had run out of wine and seemed to have lost all his energy and vitality. He looked very sentimental!

"Stop talking nonsense. If you let Murong Yanbo leave Yingzhou again this time, you should go back to Zhongzhou and apologize!"

"Then is it my fault? You guys didn't let me take action. If the matter in Youzhou is settled, I can take action this time. Zhan Xiaoling hasn't taken action for many years. If I take action, it will be against the head of the Murong family in Youzhou. I am really a little scared!"

The man holding the fishing rod heard this and looked at the fish with broken intestines floating in the water. One of them even turned over and fled downward with the water. He smiled slightly and whispered:

"I think only people who have died are not afraid of anything in this world. Of course, they dare to do anything!"

After the man holding the fishing rod finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Jingchun who was lying on his back and chuckled:

"If you don't die this time, you won't have to worry about killing Murong Yanbo next time!"

"Get lost! Can you please speak more politely? Forget it, I'll just get lost. It's unfortunate to be with someone like you who kills people every day. I feel so bad for being shot by such an arrow!"

Beside the deep pool, the man disappeared without a trace and the blood finally disappeared!
