Chapter 456 Twin Shadows (Part 1)
The door...is stuck?
When she came in, shouldn't the door be in good shape?
"There's a problem!" Shadow shouted, "Look somewhere else!"
Yu Linglong quickly came to the window sill and pushed the window sash hard, only to find that the latter was also motionless.
She picked up a chair and slammed it against the window.
The window frame shattered with the sound, but even so, it did not spread outwards, but was stuck together with the window paper into a flat surface. It was as if there was something heavy outside, pressing against the window.
Wei Wenwen also realized something was wrong. He pulled the door hard and called the maid's name, but no one responded to his call.
At this moment, there was a strange rustling sound outside the door.
"Get out of that door quickly!" Yu Linglong warned.
However, Wei Wenwen's reaction was still a little slow. Just as he was about to retreat, a long sword penetrated the door panel and stabbed straight into his chest.
Yu Linglong grabbed his collar and pulled him back suddenly, taking him out of the range of the sword.
"I...cough..." Wei Wenwen, who was lying on the ground, stretched out his hand to her, as if he wanted to say something, but there was only the sound of intermittent inhalation in his mouth.
She tore open the other party's robe and saw blood pouring out from the wound, and it couldn't be stopped no matter how hard she pressed.
"Pay attention to the enemy, he is hopeless!" Shadow said sharply.
When the sword was withdrawn, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a familiar figure walked into the house.
——Fei Nian.
After this guy escaped from Luo Qingqing's hands, he actually returned to Shangyuan City directly?
"I was wondering who was checking me recently...it turned out to be you. Why?" Feinian scanned the house and his eyes fell on Yu Linglong, "Oh...I understand, you took advantage of the opportunity to go out on a mission, I went to Shenzhou."
Being able to think of things in Shenzhou immediately, this sentence is equivalent to a disguised admission of Jin Xia's statement.
No evidence was found, but the other party jumped out on his own initiative.
His frankness surprised Yu Linglong.
"How did you know that someone was checking your details?" She slowly put down Wei and asked, "It is common for the Ministry of Records to change files. Alchemists should receive invitations from the Ministry of Records every day. Even if they are drawn to the Fei family, it is normal. "
"Indeed. However, this kind of inquiry often follows no rules. After all, there are so many officials in the Ministry of Records and there are so many alchemists in the capital. If several Fei family alchemists are drawn by the same sixth-grade questioner for several days in a row, The probability is too low," Fei Nian replied calmly.
"What are you talking about...those are thousands of records..."
"It is indeed impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference, but it is not that difficult for He'er. After all, no one is more familiar with the changes in these records than her."
Actually using He'er... Yu Linglong secretly clenched her fists. Now that Fei Nian appeared here, the situation became quite clear - the whereabouts of the core alchemist was difficult to determine, and she didn't even know whether Qian was there at the moment. In the city, it takes time to contact the other party. She originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to investigate the matters entrusted by Yan Qing, but now it seems that there is no need to continue.
As long as Feinian is captured, he himself is the best evidence!
"So you are indeed secretly using evil spirits." Yu Linglong was too lazy to make excuses, "Who taught it to you? Overseas Anjia or the Black Sect?"
"This is a secret." Fei Nian spread his hands, "Besides, you are going to die soon, do you still have time to care about those issues?"
"Just you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark arrow was shot from the direction of the door, pointing directly at Fei Nian's back——
That arrow came from the shadow!
Always attacking from unexpected places is her best fighting method.
By the time Feinian noticed this, it was too late. He could only turn slightly sideways to avoid the arrow. Only a soft popping sound was heard, and the bloody arrow had emerged from the right chest.
Yu Linglong also summoned the black long bow and attacked Fei Nian from the front. She aimed at the opponent's neck! Although living people are the best evidence, it is not advisable to hold back at this time. Dead people can be used as evidence even if they are a little bit worse. She didn't believe that nothing related to evil spirits could be found on the other party's body or residence.
However, to Yu Linglong's surprise, Fei Nian easily avoided the arrow and forced himself in front of her.
"Is this your alchemy? This is my first time learning it."
He stretched out his palm and grasped Yu Linglong's shoulder. The latter suddenly felt an unbearable burning sensation spreading!
She gritted her teeth, stepped closer instead of retreating, and hit Feinian hard on the bridge of the nose with her head, causing blood to flow everywhere! Then she turned the long bow into a short sword and slashed at the opponent's arm.
Fei Nian seemed unwilling to lose his hand, so he took two steps back and distanced himself from Yu Linglong.
The shadow followed closely with two arrows, one of which jumped and the other pierced the thigh.
Yu Linglong endured the pain and glanced at her shoulder - she saw that her clothes were scorched black, and her skin and flesh were rolled up, as if they had been burned by the flames! There was still fire surging in Fei Nian's palm, but it was not Li Shu, because she had never seen flowing fire as black as ink.
Something is wrong.
Fei Nian is a new alchemist. No matter how talented he is, he is still a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will definitely be affected by injuries. Even if he cannot feel pain, the arrow shaft remaining in the body will hinder movement and make people change their posture inadvertently.
But Fei Nian in front of him seemed to have missed the arrow.
The expression does not change, and neither does the action!
His running and dodging should have caused arrows and tearing damage, but Yu Linglong didn't notice all this. The arrow clearly penetrated his body, but it seemed to just hang on it.
"Who are you?" She couldn't help asking.
"Of course I'm Fei Nian." Fei Nian frowned, "Why do you ask such a strange question?" He was a little stunned when he said this, and looked down at his chest. But after less than two breaths, he looked at Yu Linglong again, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, anyway, you don't need to remember it in the future."
This sentence without a beginning or an end made Yu Linglong feel a layer of bumps all over her body.
"There's something wrong with this guy. Don't even think about fighting him. It's better to leave first!" Shadow shouted, "Hey, did you hear me, Yu Linglong?!"
Yu Linglong shuddered immediately. She took a deep breath, stared at Fei Nian and said in a deep voice, "Of course I will remember, and everyone will know your true face!"
"Are you still thinking about escaping from here? It's useless." Fei Nian raised his sword expressionlessly, "This house has been isolated by me. Unless you kill me, you can't leave."
"Really?" As soon as the voice fell, Yu Linglong suddenly disappeared from the spot without a trace.
"Invisibility?" Fei Nian threw a piece of saltpeter powder, and suddenly a raging black flame appeared out of thin air, sweeping across the entire house! "——The problem is that in such a narrow place, where can you escape?"
But Yu Linglong was not wrapped in flying flames as he expected, and reappeared in front of him screaming.
There was no one else in the room except him.
