Chapter 3008 The Real Situation

But even if they said so, the two searched for half the night but still couldn't find the group of "bullies".

Ling Yun shook his head and took a deep breath: "It seems that they have been thrown away. Let's go back."

When returning to the place where the "beggars" were, Yin Yue had already changed into a victim.

The little fox Xueying sat beside him, and the doubts in his eyes seemed to be heavier.

Ling Yun walked up to the "beggar" with worry in his eyes: "Old man, we searched in the forest for half the night."

"But we never found those people, we just found a few swords beside the trail."

Yin Yue widened his eyes and pretended to be shocked: "Ah, those guys are really cunning, they must have found that the young heroes were chasing them, so they fled in advance."

Tian Wuhen frowned: "What's wrong with you? Why did they hurt you?"

Yin Yue took a deep breath, with unspeakable pain in his eyes: "My original name is Ashu, and I am an ordinary beggar in a small village at the bottom of Nanshan Mountain."

"That day, I accidentally found an ancient treasure chest in the cave, which contained a mysterious jade pendant."

"After those bullies knew about it, in order to snatch the jade pendant, they not only destroyed my village, but also seriously injured me."

Ling Yun and Tian Wuhen looked at each other, not expecting that this "beggar" had such a miserable experience behind him.

Tian Wuhen said coldly: "Where is the jade pendant now?"

Yin Yue shook her head: "It was taken away by those bullies. I just wanted to save my life, so how could I dare to chase them."

Ling Yun looked at Yin Yue, his deep eyes full of pity: "In this case, you can come with us, we will find the jade pendant for you."

Yin Yue's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she disguised herself just right: "Thank you, young man, I will definitely repay you."

However, the little fox Xueying still stared at Yin Yue vigilantly, she seemed to sense the unusualness of this "beggar".

At dusk, the four-person team walked into a quiet town.

The buildings in this town are all white walls and green tiles, just like those painted in ancient calligraphy and paintings.

Not far away, the water is gurgling and the ancient bridge is tilted.

The pedestrians are gradually decreasing, and only a few small shops are still operating.

"This place is really nice."

Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head slightly, and looked at the newly hanging moon.

A Shu (Yin Yue's pseudonym) shuddered slightly, such a simple environment was completely different from what he usually saw.

And his beggar's attire was out of place in such a place.

Tian Wuhen glanced at Ah Shu and sighed: "Dressed like this, it might cause quite a stir in this small town."

Ling Yun responded: "Indeed, we should find a place for Ah Shu to rest and change his clothes."

The little fox Xueying's tail shook from time to time, indicating her uneasiness.

She followed Ling Yun closely, silently alerting Ah Shu.

Tian Wuhen led the way and soon found an inn that looked clean and tidy - "Qingfeng Tower".

Pushing open the door, a faint sandalwood fragrance hit my face.

The waiter came forward and smiled: "Dear guests, how many rooms do you need?"

"Three."

Tian Wuhen responded simply and pointed at Ashu: "This old man, we need to change his clothes. Do you have any for sale in your store?"

The waiter glanced at Ashu and was a little embarrassed: "We only have general guest room supplies here, and we don't sell clothes."

"But there is a cloth shop in town, it should not be closed now."

Lingyun nodded and patted Ashu on the shoulder: "Ashu, please go to the guest room with us to rest first, and Brother Tian and I will buy clothes for you later."

Ashu bowed his head slightly, his voice trembling: "Thank you for your kindness, young man, I don't care whether I change or not."

Tian Wuhen frowned and said firmly: "You are our friend now, how can we let you appear on the street like this? Wait a minute, we will change for you immediately."

Lingyun and Tian Wuhen quickly left the inn and went to the cloth shop.

Ashu was placed in a warm guest room, while the little fox Xueying was still silently guarding outside the door.

Her eyes were always fixed on the door, as if she was still wary of Ashu.

As night fell, the lights in the cloth shop were bright.

Lingyun and Tian Wuhen selected a few suitable clothes, bought some daily necessities, and hurried back to the inn.

Back to the inn, the two changed Ashu's clothes.

After changing into new clothes, Ashu's image became brand new.

He was no longer an old man full of wrinkles, but a particularly thin boy with fair skin and a heroic look between his eyebrows.

When Ashu walked out of the inner room, Lingyun, Tian Wuhen and Xueying were all shocked by his new image.

Lingyun's eyes were a little stunned. He didn't expect that under the image of a beggar, there was such a handsome boy hidden.

He couldn't help but say: "You... who are you?"

Xueying had been alert to Ashu, but at this moment, a hint of surprise appeared on her furry little fox face.

Her fox tail swayed gently, as if to express some kind of approval for this unexpected change.

And Tian Wuhen was stunned, and it seemed difficult for him to accept Ashu's change.

He touched his chin and exclaimed: "This... this is like a transformation! Your young image is really unbelievable."

Ashu smiled slightly and said calmly: "The previous image was just a way to hide. After all, it is not a good thing to attract too much attention."

There was a trace of doubt in Ling Yun's eyes: "Why did you dress yourself up as a beggar before?"

Ashu pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone has his secrets and unspeakable secrets. For me, this is just to avoid being discovered by some people I don't want to see."

Tian Wuhen was even more curious: "In that case, who are you? What's your origin?"

Xueying no longer had the previous vigilance at this time, and she jumped onto Ling Yun's shoulder.

She gently brushed Ling Yun's cheek with her soft tail, indicating that her attitude towards Ashu had relaxed a lot.

Ashu showed a wry smile and avoided answering: "This is a long story. If you are willing to listen, then please listen to my details during dinner."

Ling Yun nodded with a serious expression: "In that case, let's listen to your story after dinner."

Night falls and the moon hangs high.

The four of them were sitting in the elegant room of the inn, with the aroma of wine overflowing.

Under the light of the elegant room, a trace of deepness slipped across Ashu's face.

He waved his hand and asked the waiter to step aside. Then he swallowed and took a deep breath: "My story is not that simple."

Ling Yun raised his eyebrows and tapped the table with the wine glass in his hand: "Then let's listen to your story."

Ashu unfolded his story: "My original name is Yang Lan, and I am the only son of a wealthy family in the ancient times."

"However, because the family possesses a precious magic weapon, it has attracted countless enemies."

"When I was six years old, my family was betrayed and our family was destroyed."

A cold light flashed in Tian Wuhen's eyes, which seemed to resonate slightly with that kind of betrayal.

He asked softly: "Then how did you escape?"

Ashu took a deep breath: "It was an elder in the family who saved me. He paid the price with his life and used a secret method to transfer me thousands of miles away."

"However, with my life experience known to others, I can't survive in the outside world at all. I can only turn into a beggar and hide my identity."

Ling Yun clenched his fists, feeling full of sympathy for Ashu: "So you have been hiding and don't dare to show up?"

Ashu nodded: "That's right. Not only that, those enemies are still chasing me, trying to find the magic weapon. But I can only run away."

Xueying's little fox showed a look of pity on his face, and put his furry tail on Ling Yun's shoulder, as if he wanted to give him some comfort.

Tian Wuhen asked in a low voice: "Where is the magic weapon now?"

Ashu's expression changed and he seemed a little hesitant, but he finally shook his head: "I don't know either."

"That magic weapon seems to be closely connected with my life, but I don't know its whereabouts."

Ling Yun sighed: "Fate is always like this, but you don't have to worry now. With us here, those enemies will not want to hurt you."

Ashu looked at Ling Yun deeply: "Thank you."

At this moment, there was a burst of sound outside the window, and along with the strong wind, the entire inn seemed to be shaking.

Ling Yun's face instantly became solemn, and he stood up suddenly, looking alert.

Tian Wuhen also had a solemn look on his face, and he had gathered a force of law in his hands, preparing for the upcoming battle. The snow shadow turned into a white shadow, preparing to protect Ling Yun.

"It's them!" Ashu's face turned pale, as if he had seen some horrific scene.

Ling Yun's eyes were firm: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

At this moment, the door was kicked open suddenly, and five people dressed in black walked in.

One of them glanced at the four of them coldly, and then locked his eyes on Ashu: "Yang Lan, you really hid far away."

Ashu took a step back nervously, while Ling Yun stood in front of him and said coldly: "If you want to hurt him, you have to get past me first."

In the small private room, the power of Hunyuan was raging crazily, as if it was going to tear the entire world apart.

Ling Yun pulled out the heavy sword from behind, and the Hunyuan Qi contained in it rose up like a dragon and shot straight into the sky.

"Come on, damn bastard!"

Ling Yun yelled, his voice full of anger and provocation.

Tian Wuhen, on the other hand, was mumbling words and making continuous seals in his hands.

The Hunyuan Law around him condensed and turned into countless sharp sword energy, instantly blocking two of the men in black.

Xueying showed no sign of weakness, and the little fox's body burst out with ice-cold energy in an instant.

She turned into an ice shadow, like a sword, slashing across the body of the man in black.

With the powerful strength of the three men, these men in black seemed to be less of an enemy.

However, they refused to retreat and unleashed powerful magic powers one after another, fighting fiercely with Ling Yun and the others.

Blood splashed, the sounds of slashes and the roar of law collisions were endless.

This was a real showdown between powerful Hunyuan warriors. The tables, chairs, and murals nearby were all reduced to ashes in this powerful energy.

Ashu hid in the corner, with a complicated look on his face.

Soon, the men in black seemed to sense how powerful Ling Yun and the others were, and each one of them began to shrink back in fear.

Ling Yun took advantage of this opportunity, gathered all the Hunyuan Qi, swung a sword, and cut the two men in black into two pieces.

Tian Wuhen and Xueying also took advantage of the situation to deal with the others.

The private room was a mess of flesh and blood, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Ling Yun inserted the heavy sword back, took a deep breath, then walked up to Ashu and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, they won't come again."

Tian Wuhen also came over and patted Ashu's back gently: "Don't be afraid, we are here."

Xueying transformed into a little fox and gently licked Ashu's hand, as if she wanted to give him some comfort.

Ashu pursed his lips and gave a wry smile: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened."

Ling Yun laughed loudly: "It's okay, we are not easy to deal with. If they dare to come, they will have to pay the price."

Tian Wuhen smiled slightly: "It's better to go to bed early tonight, we still have a long way to go tomorrow."

Afterwards, the four of them each returned to their rooms and prepared to rest.

Yin Yue sat gently at the table, and the jade stone in his hand gradually took on its shape under his skillful carving.

Under the light, the clarity of the jade becomes even more stunning.

He pursed his lips and revealed a sneer: "What a bunch of naive fools, thinking that there really is such a coincidence in this world."

The carving knife in his hand lightly scratched the jade, and every scratch seemed like he was laughing at Ling Yun and the others' stupidity.

But he didn't notice that there was actually a powerful power of law hidden between every scratch.

They echoed each other and formed a huge formation.

At this moment, a corner of the room suddenly fluctuated, and then Hongxia walked out of it.

She walked directly to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

The tea was fragrant, but after tasting it, she frowned.

"This tea tastes terrible."

Hongxia complained smoothly, put down the teacup, and looked directly at Yinyue: "How is your plan going this time?"

Yin Yue smiled faintly, put down the carving knife in her hand, raised her head and looked at Hongxia: "Don't worry, they have already eaten the sugar coating I gave them."

"Now we just need to wait for the right opportunity to strike with a fatal blow."

Hongxia gently glanced at the jade carving on the table, with a trace of disdain on her face: "You are really thoughtful, you really took the time to carve such a thing."

"Aren't you afraid that they will discover your true identity?"

Yin Yue sighed softly, and a cold light flashed in her deep eyes: "This jade sculpture contains the method of Hunyuan."

"Once activated, not even gods can escape its lock. I do this just to get closer to them."

Hongxia snorted coldly: "You'd better be careful and don't play with fire and burn yourself."

"If you fail, the Demon God will not forgive you lightly."

Yin Yue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm sure."

"Moreover, they now have great trust in me. Even if they have doubts, they will not attack me easily."

Hongxia said lightly: "You'd better do this. However, you also need to know that if you can't complete the task, I will personally do it to let you know the price of failure."

A trace of anger flashed in Yin Yue's eyes: "I will remember it."

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense, as if a fight was about to break out at the next moment.

But in this tense atmosphere, Hongxia chuckled, turned around and disappeared into the corner of the room, leaving only Yin Yue sitting alone at the table, with mixed feelings in her heart.
