Using the studio’s accounts?
Xuan Ming reflexively thought of that past incident that had pa*sed almost eight years ago.
Eight years ago, Xuan Guang had revealed his identity and pulled Xuan Fa down from being just one step away from the position of Sect Leader.
At least, even Xuan Guang, the rebellious Shadow King, had not been dealt with, so the True Martial Arts Sect should have been fine, right?
But now someone has come to tell Xuan Ming, who thinks so, that nothing is wrong, which is completely impossible.
As a member of the jianghu, Xuan Ming had no idea how serious the loss of the Shadow King was at that time.
Ever since three hundred years ago, when the two schools of good and evil joined forces to kill the Great Qian’s Great Ancestor Ji Mu Qing, the Great Qian and the Martial World had been in a state of mutual hostility and wariness.
As a power on the imperial court’s side, the Shadow House had placed its staff in the True Martial Sect, one of the four great Taoist sects, and that man (referring to the falsely accused Xuan Fa) had almost become the True Martial Sect’s head, so what did this make the other sects think.
At that time, if the Shadow King hadn’t been hiding so deeply and was still concerned about the Great Qian after all, there would have been a team of Tong Shen realm powerhouses at their doorstep.
The external threat was secondary, after all, the Great Qian was the tree that supported it, but internally, the royalist faction took advantage of the situation and suppressed the Shadow King’s power, which was a major setback.
Nothing is wrong, it is completely impossible. The Shadow King’s losses back then were to be doubly taken back now.
“What do you mean?” Xuan Ming asked drily.
His intuition told him that the Shadow King definitely had another move in mind, so it was that he had already guessed the reason, but Xuan Ming still wanted to confirm it further.
However, his opponent, the black-cloaked True Dan realm expert, had no desire to dwell on the next step, the fluctuations of the battle two miles away had already disappeared for a while, and since it was over there, there was no need to continue.
At that moment, the unknown expert of the True Dan realm drifted back.
Xuan Ming didn’t have the heart to continue chasing after him, as he too sensed the end of the battle, and rushed towards that side with fire.
The distance of two miles was a matter of a few breaths for a True Dan Realm martial artist. If it wasn’t for the fact that the expert whose strength was steadily overpowering Xuan Ming was in the way, Xuan Ming would have been able to cross the two-mile distance within a few breaths after Qing Yu’s appearance and smash Qing Yu’s dog’s head in one move.
Of course, there was no dog’s head for Xuan Ming to hit now. When Xuan Ming arrived, the drifting goose feathers of snow still covered all traces.
A thin layer of ice had once again formed on the river, hiding the corpses of Xuan Lu and three other Xuan characters who were secretly hiding their identities beneath the layer of ice.
Qingxu died as a bloody mist, and in the short time it took to withstand the snow and wind, it was scattered all over the world.
The only ones who could leave a trace were Qingming, a young man with a less than auspicious name, and Chen Qinglin, who had done a great deal to kill Qingxu.
Incidentally, Chen Qinglin is a man with a good business ethic, as Qing Yu found the remaining third of the “Qinglong Panxing” secret book in his arms, so it is clear that he really wants to do business.
Er – of course, there was also the possibility that he was afraid that if he didn’t pay the final payment, he would be killed all together.
Two possibilities, Qing Yu chose to believe that there is still true goodness on earth and that Chen Qing Lin is true to his word, so Qing Yu helped him to take revenge by killing Qing Ming.
Although —— before searching for the secret book, Qingming was already dead.
Xuan Ming waved his sleeve to swing away the snow covering the two bodies, revealing the overlapping bodies. Since Qingming had stepped on Chen Qinglin’s back with one foot before his death, it became his body lying on Chen Qinglin’s corpse’s back in a more philosophical position after his death.
Xuan Ming turned Qingming’s body back onto its front side, only to see that the disciple had maintained his unyielding eyes to his death, both eyes staring straight ahead, and if not for the bloody hole in his forehead, one could even think that the young man, who had kept his unyielding eyes open, was still alive.
In contrast to Qingming, Chen Qinglin, a beloved disciple whom Xuanming used to treat like his own son, looked very unpleasant.
Also dead in peace, Chen Qinglin’s eyes were only resigned and resentful, looking extremely ugly.
Judging from the only two corpses at the scene, Chen Qinglin should have died at the hands of Qingming, who, in turn, should have died at the hands of Gongzi Yu. The corpses were still warm in the freezing snow, so it was clear that they had only recently died.
This indicates a very cruel fact, that the rest of the men must have perished. Otherwise, Qingming would not have given up his resistance.
“So this is retribution? Senior Brother Xuan Chen.” Xuan Ming murmured.
Eight years ago in the past, Xuan Ming was also on Xuan Chen’s side at that time, and was vaguely aware of Xuan Chen’s plans at that time. Now, the Shadow House, which had been used by Xuan Chen back then, had come to retaliate.
The first to die were Xuan Chen’s and Xuan Ming’s disciples, and the next person the other side wanted to kill was still unknown.
The matter was urgent and he had to return to the True Martial Sect immediately to discuss with the people. Xuan Ming could not afford to collect the bodies of Qingming and Chen Qinglin, he just waved his palm and rolled up the snow to bury them again, and then hurriedly disappeared into the wind and snow.

“Ka-ching.”
Ten thousand miles away in the True Martial Sect, Xuan Chen suddenly had an inexplicable palpitation in his heart and lost his hand and crushed the Jade Ruyi in his hand.
“Qing Xu ——,” Xuan Chen murmured the name of his beloved disciple.
The sudden heart palpitations of a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, who was divine and clear, were no accident. Moreover, this inexplicable heart palpitation also occurred when Qing Xu set up an ambush to kill Gong Zi Yu this time.
“Calm down, with Senior Xuan Ming around, even if Gong Zi Yu is a natural talent, there is no way he can fight against him, perhaps this is just a little accident.”
Even for a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, it would be difficult to remain calm if someone close to him was involved. At this moment, Xuan Chen’s years of Daoist meditation could not suppress the unease and worry in his heart, and he could not help but walk back and forth in annoyance.
Soon, however, the real bad news confirmed to Xuan Chen the uneasiness in his heart.
“Master.” The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and another of Xuan Chen’s disciples, Qing Yuan, swept into the hall with his light skills.
The mixture of sorrow and pain on his face made Xuan Chen’s heart feel more and more uneasy.
And Qing Yuan’s report confirmed that his uneasiness was correct.
“Master, Master Xuan Ming has sent word that the ambush has failed and that the rest of the men, except him, are ——”
“What happened to the rest of them?” Xuan Chen shouted angrily.
“The rest of them, all died by Gong Zi Yu’s hand.”
Last time in Xi’an City, Qing Xu had used a magic formation to notify the True Martial Sect to come to their aid, and this time, before rushing back, Xuan Ming had also used this to notify first.
Regrettably, both times, it was bad news that was reported. The last time, Qing Xu was seriously injured and almost died. And this time, Qingxu was so dead that there was not even a crumb left.
