Chapter 219 Discovery and Suspicions
Mo Qian's figure moved swiftly through the wild forest and came to the official road five or six miles away. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found the white birch tree from before. The red horse he had rented from the carriage shop was grazing beneath it.Mo Qian's figure flashed and drifted lightly as catkins. He landed on the horse's back, then tiptoed up into the white birch tree and untied the pack he had secured at the top.Mo Qian took off his night clothes, changed back into his escort uniform, then mounted the red horse, got onto the official road, and rode away at a swift gallop.By the time Ximen Yong and his group returned to Xiangu County, dawn had already broken.Pedestrians on the street saw that the Ximen family members were injured and battered, and that even the head of the family, Ximen Yong, had a blood-soaked bandage on his shoulder. Whispers immediately spread through the crowd.Then they saw that the second Ximen family carriage was loaded with corpses, b
Chapter 218 A Gift of Compassion
Mo Qian's light work and flying knife technique had astonished him. Even facing Mo Qian directly, Yuan Shouzhi suspected he would have his hands full. But it was Mo Qian's perception and insight that impressed him even more. When Huang Gaozu scattered the poison, Mo Qian had been the first to notice and call out a warning. And when using the flying knife to assist him, the incomparable precision of timing had truly shaken Yuan Shouzhi."This person must come from a renowned family with its own school of martial arts," Yuan Shouzhi said thoughtfully.Ximen Yong heard these words and turned his head, his eyes slightly unfocused. In his mind, he kept returning to Mo Qian's eyes. He felt those eyes were somehow familiar, as if he had seen them before.Ximen Yong's talent for martial arts was only average, but for business he was exceptionally gifted. After years in the business world, he had cultivated a sharp ability to read people. A face he had seen clearly, he could still remember cle
Chapter 217 End of the Ambush
Although the two were still fighting, the balance of offense and defense had shifted.At first, it had been Huang Gaozu who pestered Yuan Shouzhi and prevented him from joining the battle to protect Ximen Yong. But now it was Yuan Shouzhi who pressed Huang Gaozu and prevented him from withdrawing.The bandits of Black Tiger Village had been completely wiped out, and Huang Gaozu was now inwardly crying out in despair.He had also heard the scattered screams from the wild forest moments ago — it was simply like a ghost demanding life, unbelievable. The Ximen family had actually kept such a master hidden nearby. Li Yiying had truly set his sights on the wrong target. He really had not known when to give up. What Huang Gaozu hated most was that he himself had been soft-hearted, greedy for small gains, and had gotten dragged into this dispute. One misstep and he would die on Black Tiger Hill.Although he was skilled in light work and his swordsmanship was unpredictable, Yuan Shouzhi's Drag
Chapter 216 Death God of the Forest
He shook his spear to thrust, and a willow leaf cold blade flashed past and shot toward his throat.Li Yiying was startled and dodged immediately. Then another willow leaf cold blade shot at the back of his head.Li Yiying had survived countless life-and-death struggles to become the leader of Black Tiger Village. When the willow leaf cold blade shot at the back of his head, he felt cold all over and ducked. However, the blade still sliced off a strand of his hair and nearly scraped his scalp.Li Yiying could almost feel a chill passing across his scalp.Mo Qian saw that Li Yiying had sharp instincts and quick reactions. It was clear he could not be killed by flying knives alone. So he took advantage of Li Yiying lowering his head and swung the oxtail knife at him.Although Li Yiying had been hardened by life-and-death combat for a long time and his knife skills were fierce and direct without any flourish, he was clearly inferior compared to Mo Qian.This was the gap in realm.Althoug
Chapter 215 Ambush at Black Tiger Hill
In about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Mo Qian had reached Black Tiger Hill.By then, night had fully surged in. The hill was dark, and you could not see your hand in front of your face. Mo Qian reached the edge of Black Tiger Hill and slowed his pace, while at the same time releasing his consciousness outward.His released spiritual sense immediately covered the area of a hundred meters around him.Mo Qian hid in the woods beside the official road, moving slowly to avoid making any sound.After Mo Qian had moved some distance, his spiritual sense suddenly swept over two people who were tying a thick hemp rope full of caltrops to the trees beside him.Both people were also wearing black clothes and were a hundred meters away from him.The moment Mo Qian swept over the two people, he immediately stopped.Although he was in the dark forest and had released his spiritual sense, using the Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Blade in that moment could be said to make him nearly invincib
Chapter 214 Shadow in the Night Woods
Mo Qian stood on the stone steps in front of the bureau, watching the carriage roll away along the moonlit bluestone road, his expression thoughtful. By the time he had been sitting in the carriage just now, the decision had already been made. He would intervene.It was not only because Ximen Yong was Ximen Kankan's father and he could not simply look on.At the end of the year, he needed to register for the Tai Yi Sect registered disciple selection. If something happened to Ximen Yong in this ambush, who would he go to for help with the registration? Even if he could find someone else willing to assist, would there be another person in the same position as Ximen Kankan, able and willing to speak to their own father on his behalf? And there was the question of the relationship between father and son. He had heard that Jiang Qingyu and his father Jiang Heng were on tense terms.All of this together had driven Mo Qian to his decision.But beyond all of that, the most important factor wa
