Final Volume Chapter 8
When Jin Xuan quietly came to Dongfang Mansion, it was already midnight. At this time, it was late at night and the huge Dongfang Mansion was silent. She first hid under a wall and listened quietly for a while. When she heard nothing, she jumped onto the wall.
Jin Xuan's spiritual armor had already been painted black. She lay on the high wall without moving. In the dark night, she looked like she had merged with the wall.
She threw the small stone in her hand, and the small stone hit the bluestone pavement in the yard, making a light snap.
Jin Xuan squinted her eyes, used her eyesight, looked around, and after a long while, she confirmed that there was no one nearby, and then she jumped in from the wall.
Dongfang Mansion is now full of Dongfang Yehuai's disciples, all of whom are masters of spiritual martial arts. Although Jin Xuan swore in front of Huangfu Xiutai and didn't care, she didn't dare to be careless or lucky in her heart. If she was really discovered by the other party and was surrounded, it would be difficult for her to escape.
This was not the first time Jin Xuan came to Dongfang Mansion, and she was familiar with the internal environment.
She raised her legs high, stepped lightly, and slowly approached the hall along the courtyard wall. The hall of Dongfang Mansion has now become Dongfang Yehuai's mourning hall. To perform an autopsy, she must sneak into the hall.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard footsteps coming from the front, and someone said in a rough voice: "Brothers, cheer up, the city is not peaceful now, and we must not let thieves sneak into the mansion!"
Hearing the voice, Jin Xuan frowned immediately. She could judge that the person who spoke was Dongfang Yehuai's third disciple, Chu Xiong. This person is very strong in spiritual martial arts and can be regarded as a leader among Dongfang Yehuai's disciples.
If he came to inspect, Chu Xiong's spiritual force should be able to sense her spiritual pressure. Thinking of this, Jin Xuan reacted quickly and immediately dispersed her spiritual armor, revealing the tight black clothes inside. Then, she quickly took out the spirit pill and swallowed it.
Almost at the same time as she dispersed her spiritual pressure, a group of people came over.
The big man in the lead was tall and mighty, at least 1.8 meters away, weighing no less than 200 kilograms, and walking with a bang. Jin Xuan quickly crouched on the ground and got into the bushes nearby.
The group did not notice Jin Xuan's presence and walked past her in a swagger. After just a few steps, the big man in the lead suddenly stopped. He lowered his head, frowned at the small stones on the bluestone road, and then looked around.
What a careful Chu Xiong, he looks big and strong, but he is actually very careful. Jin Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists. As the saying goes, there is always a loophole. It was not wrong to throw a stone to ask for directions, but I forgot to get rid of the stone.
The burly man looked around for a long time and found nothing unusual. Then he kicked the stone on the road into the bushes beside him and continued to walk forward. Seeing that they had walked away, Jin Xuan, who was hiding in the bushes, breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming that the other party had gone far away, she slowly stood up from the grass pile, and sneaked towards the hall more carefully.
Along the way, she encountered several waves of patrolling disciples. Fortunately, Jin Xuan's reaction was fast enough and her body was agile enough, so she avoided them all without any danger.
She walked and hid, and it took her nearly half an hour to walk from the backyard of Dongfang Mansion to the hall in the front yard. When she approached the hall, she hid in an unnoticeable dark corner and looked around.
There were servants guarding outside the hall, and there were disciples guarding the spirit inside the hall, but now it was late at night, and both the servants outside and the disciples inside were exhausted and dozing off.
Jin Xuan pondered for a moment and made a quick judgment in her mind. Then, she went around the side of the hall, jumped up, and took the eaves with both hands. She flipped up with her waist and stood quietly on the roof of the hall.
She took two breaths on the eaves, and then slowly approached the door of the hall. When she came to the top of the door, she took out another stone from her lapel and flicked it at the ground in the distance.
Snap! The stone fell to the ground, making a slight sound. The servants who were in a daze were all shocked, and all woke up and looked up to find the sound.
But it was dark, and they couldn't see anything clearly. Several people looked at each other and walked forward at the same time.
Taking advantage of their absence, Jin Xuan silently descended from the roof, and flashed into the hall like a ghost.
There were quite a few people in the hall, and they were all disciples of Dongfang Yehuai, but none of them were awake. They all knelt on the mats and fell asleep with their heads down.
It can't be said that they had no filial piety to Dongfang Yehuai, but the running around in recent days was really too tiring. Even if their spiritual martial arts were strong, they couldn't stay awake for several days in a row.
After Jin Xuan came in, he passed by the disciples like a whirlwind and went directly to the back of the mourning hall, where the coffin was stored.
There were only two white candles here, emitting a faint light. The huge space seemed dark, with only a huge coffin placed in the center.
On the wall behind the coffin, there was also a portrait of Dongfang Yehuai's first mate. The atmosphere here was much more terrifying than outside, and it was creepy.
Jin Xuan was not afraid. She slowly came to the coffin, put her hands on the coffin lid, and pushed it slightly. The coffin lid moved. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the coffin lid was not fixed, otherwise she would have to work hard to open it!
She tried not to make any noise and pushed the coffin lid open little by little. Dongfang Yehuai's coffin was made of mahogany, and even the coffin lid weighed nearly 100 kilograms. Jin Xuan lifted the coffin lid with his hands and gently put it aside.
Jin Xuan looked into the coffin and saw the body of the great elder Dongfang Yehuai inside. His face was as pale as ash, his eyes were closed, and there was a copper coin between his lips.
She took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and bowed to the body of Dongfang Yehuai. She secretly said to the elder Dongfang, please forgive me for being rude. In order to prove the innocence of my senior brother, I can only do this.
Thinking of this, she stretched out her hands to unbutton Dongfang Yehuai's collar. At this moment, there was a muffled bang outside. Jin Xuan was shocked, not knowing what happened outside.
In the mourning hall outside, two spiritual arrows flew in, just right, and just shot down both candles on the altar.
The disciples who were guarding the spirit suddenly woke up and saw two shining arrows nailed on the table. The faces of everyone present changed drastically.
"Who is it? How dare you sneak attack the master's spirit hall!" The eldest disciple Zhong He roared and rushed out with his sword. But when he looked around outside, there was no trace of the thief.
The other disciples followed him out, constantly scanning the surroundings, and asked one after another: "Big Brother, who sneak attacked the spirit hall?"
Zhong He shook his head slowly. He was the first to rush out, but he didn't even see the shadow of the other party. He asked the servant guarding the door: "Who shot the cold arrow into the spirit hall?"
The servants were also shocked. They shook their heads blankly, indicating that they didn't see it clearly. Seeing this, Zhong He stamped his feet fiercely, turned his head and shouted: "Go after him immediately! No matter what, we can't let the thief run away!"
"Yes! Senior Brother!" The disciples were filled with righteous indignation and responded in unison, pretending to chase him out, but Zhong He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called them: "Wait a minute!"
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
"This is weird. Who would be so bored to take the risk of sneaking into the mansion, only shooting two cold arrows, and running away without hurting anyone?" Zhong He pondered for a moment and said suddenly: "Quick! Go and see the master's coffin! Let's not fall for the thief's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"
At this time, Zhong He was smart. Hearing his words, all the disciples shuddered, and without saying a word, they swarmed to the back of the mourning hall again.
Jin Xuan, who was behind, heard their conversation clearly and cried out inwardly that he was going to be exposed! She didn't have time to think about it, let alone to examine the body. She hurriedly took out the spirit pill and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, she released her spirit energy and covered herself with spirit armor.
The disciples rushed over quickly, but Jin Xuan ran out even faster. Before people came to the door, Jin Xuan had already rushed out like an arrow.
"Ah?" A living person suddenly jumped out from the place where the coffin was placed, which scared the disciples. Several of them screamed and retreated repeatedly, almost sitting on the ground.
Jin Xuan didn't care about their reactions. He ran through the stunned crowd and ran straight out of the mourning hall.
"The thief is so bold that he dared to break into the mourning hall of my master. You stay here!" Zhong He stood at the door of the mourning hall, swung the sword in his hand, and chopped it down fiercely at Jin Xuan's head.
Jin Xuan reacted very quickly. His body was like a loach. He got out from under Zhong He's armpit and then jumped out of the mourning hall in one step.
The servants outside wanted to rush forward to stop Jin Xuan, but the latter didn't even look at them, and jumped into the air and jumped directly onto the eaves.
She was fast, and Dongfang Yehuai's disciples were not slow either. They followed closely and jumped onto the roof. At the same time, Zhong He's Lingluan·Ji was also cast in front of Jin Xuan.
Seeing that he had made a fatal move, Jin Xuan dared not be careless. He drew his sword from behind his waist, and while turning it into a spirit, he also cast Lingluan·Ji to deal with it.
As Dongfang Yehuai's eldest disciple, Zhong He's cultivation was not much different from Jin Xuan. The two's spiritual martial arts skills met in the air, crackling, and the energy was radiating, scraping the tiles on the eaves into cracks.
This thief has a very powerful spiritual martial arts! Zhong He was secretly surprised, and he shouted: "Try to take my move again!" As he spoke, he used up his spiritual energy and cast Blood Soul Chase·Ji.
Jin Xuan didn't want to get entangled with him any more. She took a deep breath and used the Armor Spirit Transformation. A huge feather wing grew from her back. As she flapped it, she flew into the air, just avoiding the spiritual thorns released by Zhong He.
"Where can you escape to?" The disciples called out to each other, and then threw the spiritual swords in their hands together, flying towards Jin Xuan in the air.
If there were only one or two spiritual swords flying at her, Jin Xuan could still dodge them, but with dozens of spiritual swords flying at her at once, no matter how fast Jin Xuan moved, it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed.
