living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 277
After Zhao Xiuxian finished speaking indifferently, there was a loud thunder outside, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. In the dull room, the white light shone on everyone's faces, making them look dim.

The atmosphere became eerie, the bizarre murder, and the sudden change of weather gave Mu Lan a vague feeling of bad premonition.

"It's raining"

Lin Yiyi outside was a little surprised, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said to Ye Lingyu who was also startled: "The weather was clear just now."

There was a torrential downpour in Yunfu Mountain. The rain came suddenly without warning. The wet larks rushed to the dense tree canopy. The raindrops hit the roof tiles with crackling sounds. A deep pool of water has formed.

The entire Yunfu Villa became drenched, but the Zhao family surrounding the Shouqing mansion remained motionless in the rain, allowing the rain to penetrate their clothes.

"I think"

Zhou Sheng showed a slight smile, he didn't seem to be irritated by Zhao Xiuxian's words, he paused every word:

"I think, judging from the way Mr. Zhao died, there are some people here who are the most suspicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention.

But he stopped talking. There was a sinister smile on his lips and his eyes were bright, as if he had already thought of who the murderer was.

The penetrating wound, the disappearing murder weapon, and the hidden murderer, who he refers to need not be explained too much.

Zhao Xiuxian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Lingfeng suspiciously.

The rest of the people also cast wary eyes. They are still familiar with the Ye family's Imperial Object Art, and Ye Lingfeng's direct descendants have cultivated this miraculous skill to the acme of perfection, and they can take the head of a person from a hundred steps away. Level, when Heishameng said this, the Ye family's suspicion immediately increased.

"It's a joke." Ye Lingfeng smiled instead of anger, "It's really a trumped-up charge. What reason do I have to kill old Patriarch Zhao?"

Even though he said so, the doubts of the several aristocratic families remained undiminished. They were clear about the enmity between the Ye and Zhao families. The two sides could be regarded as blood feuds. Countless masters fell in the conflict 20 years ago.

"The two of you haven't been in contact for 20 years. Why did you come here on the [-]th birthday of the old Patriarch? And you also dispatched a top expert like Yuxu Sword?" Yu Yongnian looked at Ye Lingfeng with cold eyes. Uncle Wang.

"Of course it is to protect my young master." Uncle Wang snorted softly, "This is the heart of our Patriarch. If he is damaged in this Yunfu Villa, I can only commit suicide and apologize."

"However, the old Patriarch's method of death is fatal with one blow, and at the same time, you don't need to show up. Only your Ye family can do it." Chu Jun said, "How do you explain this?"

"Don't slander our Ye family if you can't find the murder weapon." Uncle Wang shook his head and sighed, with a regretful look on his face, "It's really not as good as one generation after another. Is the younger generation educated by the old Patriarch Chu to this level?"

He continued: "The Ye family needs preparations to cast spells, but all the Ye family children are at the banquet. Everyone knows this, and we have a grudge with the Zhao family."

Uncle Wang looked at Ye Lingfeng as if he had something to say, but Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Uncle Wang smiled and said: "Since this situation has arisen, I will not hide it from you. Our Ye family came this time with the entrustment of the patriarch, and intends to make friends. The Ye and Zhao families have been at odds for 20 years. He hopes that The end of hatred lies with the next generation."

"Grandpa didn't tell me about this." Zhao Xiuxian said quietly.

"Because you haven't formally taken over the entire Zhao family." Uncle Wang said with a sincere expression, "This also involves some exchange of interests. If nothing happened to the old Patriarch Zhao today, I believe the relationship between the two families will change."

Chu Huaijin held down Chu Jun who looked strange, coughed, and said slowly: "Although so, the Ye family's Imperial Art is indeed very suspicious. How do you explain it?"

"Not necessarily." Ye Lingfeng denied, he looked around, and said loudly: "Some of you here are God's Chosen, I believe you all know the way to hide yourself, maybe this murderer is hiding in this room, and has never been seen. leave."

Mu Lan had thought of this before, and it is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but Zhao Xiuxian obviously does not recognize this, because it means that the truth is getting farther and farther away from him, and if the Chosen Killer is willing, he can even hide in it for the rest of his life does not appear.

My thinking suddenly fell into a dead end, and now I really can't tell who is the murderer behind the scenes.

Zhao Xiuxian finally couldn't hold back any longer, he clenched his fists unwillingly, and his eyes turned back and forth among several people in the study.

Then he walked to the shrine, put the box with the seal in his hand on the bookshelf, entered the secret room, took the white cloth handed over by the servant, and gently covered the old Patriarch Zhao's body. He was very concerned that so many people had been watching His grandfather's body.

The moment he entered the secret room, two eyes turned to the seal on the shrine at the same time.

Mu Lan keenly noticed that one of the two people who suddenly made moves was Zhou Sheng from the Black Evil Alliance, and the other was Yu Yongnian.

"Xiu Xian! Be careful with the seal!" Yu Yongnian suddenly exclaimed.

Zhao Xiuxian turned his head abruptly after hearing the voice, but it was already too late. Zhou Sheng's figure was as fast as lightning, and the next second he was already standing in front of the shrine, reaching out to grab the seal.

Zhao Xiuwu had already reacted and concentrated his internal energy to strike forward, but Zhou Sheng's figure flashed, and this internal energy hit the wall.

A punch was punched on the entire wall, but Zhou Sheng was unscathed. With a sneer, he raised his hand and wanted to pick up the seal again.

"Don't let him touch the seal, he has the ring!" Yu Yongnian turned pale with shock.

When Zhou Sheng was about to put the seal into the storage ring, a sword light struck and pierced his wrist.

The sword was accurate and ruthless, Zhou Sheng couldn't dodge for a moment, his right wrist was pierced with a big hole by the blade, and blood gushed out.

Zhou Sheng clutched his injured wrist, and looked at the man in white who shot.

"It's not good to steal things from the master's house." The man in white smiled lightly.

At this time, the Zhao and Yu families had already surrounded him, and the other two members of the Black Demon League also drew their guns.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Xiuxian retrieved the seal box from the shrine, staring at Zhou Sheng closely.

"You're too slow." Zhou Sheng sighed regretfully, then looked at the people surrounding him with a smile.

There was a sudden change in the study, Mu Lan pulled Zhao Ziyu to touch the corner quietly, and then Zhao Ziyu let out a surprise.

"Why is the jade pendant here?" Zhao Ziyu picked up the jade pendant on the bookshelf on one side. It was the birthday gift he presented to his old family master.

This jade pendant did not appear on the old Patriarch's body, but was packed in a beautiful box and quietly placed on the bookshelf, juxtaposed with those precious treasures.

Sighing, unexpectedly, the carefully crafted magic weapon only stayed on the old Patriarch's body for less than half an hour, and the owner of the gift died. Zhao Ziyu put away the jade pendant regretfully.

Turning his eyes back to the center, the three men from the Black Evil Alliance were already fighting with the Zhao and Yu families, and the man in white was holding a long sword and was also waiting for an opportunity.

Zhou Sheng's strength was impressive, but the two members of the Black Demon League he brought with him had mediocre martial arts skills. They seemed to be the god-chosen ones who took the technological route. They only fired two shots before they were given priority by the two families and died tragically by the sword.

Zhou Sheng fought and retreated, Zhao Xiuwu blocked Zhou Sheng's retreat, and Zhao Xiuxian asked Yu Yongnian suspiciously, "Old Yu, why did he want to grab the seal?"

"This seal has a mystery, and it can be said to be the most precious thing of your Zhao family." Yu Yongnian was wary of Zhou Sheng's movements, and at the same time frowned: "Maybe it is the hands of the Heisha League, and their purpose is to snatch this seal. Xi."

Only when the new and old patriarchs hand over, the Zhao family will take out the seal of the master. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation in the Zhao family in Lingnan. The Heisha League must have learned the secret of the seal before participating in this birthday banquet. Zhao Xiuxian realized instantly.

Although he still didn't know the function of the seal, it must be related to the hermitage, and the Black Evil Alliance was also coveting this hermitage spot.

"Kill him! Take revenge for the Patriarch!" Zhao Xiuxian said angrily.
