Chapter 15: The Line Between Life and Death
At the main entrance of the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a gray robe appeared, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified face, with a thin layer of anger on his face at this time.
Du Fan was on the side of the attic, and he was not discovered by the gray-robed middle-aged man, and secretly shouted for happiness.
The man's figure was blurred, and the next moment he appeared in front of the attic door, without knocking, he raised his foot and kicked the door open directly, causing the woman in the house to scream for the rest of his life.
"Dad, you...... What are you doing here. Wu Hao obviously didn't expect this scene, and opened his mouth in a panic, a little at a loss.
"Why can't I come, can't you see the good things you did!" The gray-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly, and said angrily.
"Deacon Wu, I really love Senior Brother Wu, I ......" The woman in palace clothes said in a trembling voice.
"Senior Nephew Chu Qian, you don't know self-love too much, for Deacon Chu's sake, you leave quickly, I will treat tonight's events as if I didn't see them. The middle-aged man flicked his sleeves and turned around the two of them.
The room is quiet for the time being...... Only the sound of the woman knowing Suosuo's dress could be heard.
The niece took her leave. After a while, Chu Qian tidied up her clothes, walked to the middle-aged man's side nervously, and walked out in a panic after bowing.
Du Fan held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Dad, why don't you let me come in when I'm done. After Chu Qian left, Wu Hao was a little depressed, and he had nowhere to vent, so he was very aggrieved. ,...,
"Bastard, dare to talk to me like this!" Wu Hao's father glared at him, and said angrily.
"You don't know about me and Senior Sister Chu Qian, why do you want to take care of me today, is it possible, you really regard Yao Ruoxi's woman as your daughter-in-law?" Wu Hao was a little puzzled.
"That girl of the Yao family is only for sacrifice when you break through, I naturally don't care if she lives or dies, but you and I are famous in the Purple Mountain faction, and you are about to marry a woman from the Yao family. Almost everyone in the whole faction knows that at this time, if your ugly thing is discovered and spread, it will be extremely detrimental to you, and even my reputation will be affected, you kid, don't spoil a big thing!" The middle-aged man's eyes were shining, and his expression was gloomy.
"Dad, are you going to do it, but the head of the sect is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and his strength is unfathomable, and if the ancestor knows, I'm afraid he won't let go of Dad, and there are three other Jindan elders. Wu Hao first had a smile on his face, and then said with some worry after groaning.
"Hmph, what's the use of cultivating to a high level, if even his most favored personal disciple is my person, and he is doing something in secret, then he will not be able to return to the sky. As for the ancestor and the three elders, you don't have to worry, they have gone out secretly half a month ago and will not come back within a year, and when they come back, the overall situation has been decided. No matter who is in charge of this sect, as long as this person is a member of the Purple Mountain Sect. And with the ability to carry forward our faction, the ancestors and elders will not mind who is in charge. When I, Wu Cangyuan, monopolize the power of the Purple Mountain Sect, then is the time when you can enjoy it at will. After Wu Cangyuan finished speaking, he smiled proudly. ,...,
"But even if the head of the family falls, there is not only my father who is qualified to inherit the head of the family, but there are also other deacons. Wu Hao had calmed down and said in detail.
"Although there are dozens of people in my sect to build the foundation, but now there are only a few people in the gate and qualified to compete, so it depends on their own means and forces, especially this force, not only limited to the door, but also the outside world. This is also another important reason why I am anxious for you to marry the daughter of the Yao family, the Yao family is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of my Purple Mountain Sect on weekdays, but at critical moments, it is also a bargaining chip to measure strength. So at this critical juncture, don't give me any extraneous branches, you stinky boy, bear with it, and when the big thing is decided, you can toss it as you want. Wu Cangyuan's eyes widened, and he reminded in a deep voice. ...,
"Yes, Dad, don't worry, Hao'er knows the severity, but I've seen that old guy in the Yao family, this person is not only scheming, but even I can't see through cultivation, Dad, shouldn't you pay attention to it." Wu Hao agreed, and finally thought of something, and said solemnly.
"You can't see what's strange, as early as decades ago, he started to try to build a foundation, it was I who secretly made a move, and his brother Yao Lingtian should cooperate with the outside, disturb him, and yin him at the critical moment of his advancement, otherwise at this time, whether he is already a foundation building cultivator is still a matter of two words. If it is usual, it doesn't matter if he leaves a dog's life, but now in a critical period, there are no variables, and after you marry Yao Ruoxi, I will start to get rid of this person and support Yao Lingtian to succeed the head of the Yao family, so that it will be foolproof. Wu Hao's eyes flashed coldly, and his words were cold. ,...,
As the two talked, Du Fan's heart became colder and colder, and at this time, his back was even colder, and his breathing was hindered...... My fingers shook inadvertently.
"Who is it!" Wu Cangyuan's face changed dramatically, and at the same time, an invisible divine thought swept out.
Du Fan was so shocked that he didn't want to touch his trouser leg with one hand, and when he mentioned it again, a dagger appeared in his hand.
This dagger was the trophy found on his body after killing the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Hu Daniu saw that his grade was extraordinary, and asserted that it was made of fine iron, so he gave it to Du Fan for self-defense.
And at this moment, Du Fan did not hesitate to plunge this dagger into the edge of his heart, blood splashed, and the dagger instantly submerged into Du Fan's body, only the handle was exposed, and the blade was only half an inch away from the heart.
At the same time, Du Fan suddenly shouted, and kicked his legs hard, his body shot backwards, and he was lying backwards in mid-air.
There was a sound of breaking the void in the void in front of Du Fan, and then it was condensed, and a gray-robed middle-aged figure suddenly appeared outside the attic. stared at Du Fan who was in mid-air, his eyes narrowed.
With a "boom", Du Fan fell heavily to the ground, bringing up a little dust around him. ,...,
"Dad, what's wrong?Hey, you're the steward of the Yao family, Du Fan!" It was only at this time that Wu Hao appeared outside wearing a coat, and after he saw Du Fan clearly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Say, what's the matter, a wrong word, die!" Wu Cangyuan stared at Du Fan and said coldly.
"Master Master, the villain is none other than Du Fan, the steward of the Yao Mansion, who was ordered by the head of the Yao family to escort the spiritual herbs to the Purple Mountain Sect, because it was getting late, a master arranged for us to stay here for one night, and asked me to leave early tomorrow morning. At night, the villain couldn't sleep, so it was convenient to take a walk in the courtyard, and at this time, I found a black-clothed masked man sneakily wandering outside my courtyard, looking at his appearance, he was extremely unfamiliar with the terrain of the Purple Mountain Sect. I concluded that this person was not from the Purple Mountain Sect, and it was very likely that he would be unfavorable to the Purple Mountain Sect, so I followed this person all the way, trying to find an opportunity to warn the Purple Mountain Sect, but after following here, I was accidentally discovered by that person, and he stabbed me with this dagger and disappeared. Du Fan foamed at the mouth, his face was pale and panicked, but he still insisted on telling the matter, and his expression did not seem to be fake.
Wu Hao's eyes flashed coldly, and when he was about to say something, Wu Cangyuan stopped it with a wave of his hand, and after a period of uncertainty in his face, his palm suddenly raised towards Du Fan, and with another move, the dagger on the other party's chest disappeared with a tremble, and the next moment, the light flashed, appeared in Wu Cangyuan's hand, and stared at it. ,...,
"Ahh
"It's ...... The dagger of the Black Tiger Gang!" Wu Cangyuan's eyes flashed and he concluded. ...,
"Black Tiger Gang? This is a subordinate force in the Tianxiang Kingdom, the gang leader and several deputy gang leaders are all cultivators, but their cultivation is not high, they are all below the first level of qi refining, and they belong to the Thundercloud Sect, Dad, this matter is a bit complicated. "Wu Hao was already proud of the Purple Mountain Sect, with quick thinking, and he thought of a possibility in an instant.
"When did you get here?" Wu Chang was silent for a long time, then looked at Du Fan,
"The villain just followed here, and was discovered by the other party, coughing ......," Du Fan said honestly, and then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Wu Cangyuan nodded, flipped with one hand, and a yellow pill appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand, and in an instant, a fragrant breath dispersed, and with a flick of his wrist, this pill shot straight towards Du Fan, and after a flash, it disappeared into Du Fan's mouth.
Du Fan didn't have time to react...... The pill slid down his throat into his abdomen, and the moment he entered the abdomen, the pill immediately dissolved, turning into a stream of heat that permeated the spleen and stomach, making Du Fan extremely comfortable, and his chest knife wound healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was a slight tingling feeling. ,...,
Du Fan showed a look of great joy on his face, struggled to get up, and bowed deeply to Wu Yuanyuan.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Okay, it's none of your business here, the pill I gave you just now will compensate for tonight's work, leave quickly, and don't wander. Wu Changyuan was expressionless and said lightly.
"Yes, the villain is retired. Du Fan looked respectful. More grateful, turned away.
"Dad, do you really believe his words?" After Du Fan disappeared, Wu Hao spoke in confusion.
"Most of this person's words are true, this dagger is indeed the object of the Black Tiger Gang. In addition, you didn't notice that this dagger was less than half an inch away from the person's heart, and the murderer obviously wanted to put this person to death, but he accidentally missed, and the Thundercloud Sect was at odds with my Purple Mountain Sect, and it was not impossible to send someone to spy on my Purple Mountain Sect, but for some reason, only a low-level person was sent, and even ordinary mortals did not find it to follow him. Wu Cangyuan frowned and pondered.
"Then do you want to report this matter to the relevant deacon in the door?" Wu Hao hesitated.
"No, you don't. I have other plans for this matter, you just need to take care of yourself these days. Remember, you can't make a claim to find trouble with the Yao family's steward, I don't want that old fox to be wary. After Wu Cangyuan solemnly commanded, he turned around and left. ,...,
"Congratulations to Dad. After Wu Cangyuan disappeared, Wu Hao's eyes were cold, every time he thought of the scene where Yao Ruoxi interceded for Du Fan and let him measure the spiritual root for him at Yao's house that day, he felt extremely uncomfortable, he wanted Du Fan to die, and he died very miserably.
"Du Fan!" Wu Hao squeezed out these two words from his throat, and the hatred in his tone was monstrous.
