C438 Threat
Now that they were on alert, other than a few sect masters with higher status, the rest of the people were stopped outside.
Yang Jingtian walked around the courtyard and checked the dead people. They were all strangled to death, and their throats were crushed in an instant.
There were no signs of a fight at the moment. It was a little strange.
"Shocking, did you find anything?" Xiao Fengyu asked Yang Jingtian for his opinion.
"I'm afraid that my mind is the same as yours. "
In this era, who would want to die so badly? There was only one possibility. It was man-made. Although the overall strength of the Xue family was still relatively weak, there were three Profound Rank Minor Saints and one Early Profound Rank among the dead. There were also more than a dozen Great Circle Yellow Realms, but all of them died a violent death.
"It seems like someone is trying to seal their mouth!" Yang Jingtian thought of Xue Zhiqian who was killed by him, and the dark horse that suddenly appeared was somewhat surprised. He was afraid that there must be a lot of things that were not known to the public. However, there were some people who didn't want the truth to be revealed to the public. That was why he had killed the entire Xue family.
"This is too cruel. He's really merciless when it comes to uprooting the weeds and removing the roots. "
"Department Head Xiao, I still need to check it out. Please gather everyone to check the number of people and see if there are any other victims. " Yang Jingtian said to Xiao Fengyu.
"You don't mean it. "
Yang Jingtian nodded and said, "I believe that things will not be so simple. "
Xiao Fengyu immediately walked out of the courtyard and asked someone to check the number of people. Half an hour later, he returned to Yang Jingtian with a heavy expression.
"You really guessed it right. "
"If I didn't guess it wrong, the four families should have been attacked!"
"It seems like the person who came is really here for the fragment. The people in charge of keeping the fragment were all dead, and the way they died was exactly the same as the Xue Family. Didn't Xue Zhiqian bury the fragment underground? How could they be attacked?" Xiao Fengyu did not understand. His speculation was reasonable, but it also felt very unreasonable.
Yang Jingtian naturally understood what was going on. Obviously, the person who attacked them must know that these people still had fragments in their hands. As for the fragments on Xue Zhiqian's body, they had already been taken by Yang Jingtian a long time ago. Now, he already had five real fragments on him.
There were still four fragments left. That mysterious assassin must have some fragments on him. If there was only one fragment left, then the remaining three fragments would all be in Beijing.
It seemed that he had to hurry. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to get ahead of the other party. Of course, he did not need to rush because he had a fragment in his hand. Sooner or later, the other party would find him.
Yang Jingtian and Xiao Fengyu expressed their condolences to the people of the four great families, and promised to help treat the injured people.
The other party was hiding in the dark, and there was no way to find out who did it.
At night, there was a meeting to discuss the future development of the martial arts world. Then, Yang Jingtian dismissed everyone on the spot. There was no need to hold another meeting tomorrow. Furthermore, there were a lot of people now, so it was too convenient for assassins to take action.
Now, everyone was naturally convinced by Yang Jingtian's words. After the meeting, everyone stood up and said their goodbyes. Yang Jingtian left the prescription for the people of the four great families.
Everyone left overnight. The martial arts seminar this time had a great momentum, but it disappeared after it ended.
"Minister, are we not leaving?" As Yang Jingtian stood at the door to send them off, Phoenix took the opportunity to ask Xiao Fengyu.
"We are not leaving yet. We will leave at noon tomorrow according to the plan. "
"Why? It's even more dangerous for us to stay here now! After all, that troublemaker is here too! "
" We're fishing! Only when we don't have any help will that person appear. " Xiao Fengyu smiled bitterly. He did not expect Yang Jingtian to make such a decision.
Isn't this called having great skills and being bold!? Yang Jingtian's martial arts cultivation was indeed very high, but he actually planned to use himself as bait to lure out the assassin who was hiding in the dark.
"Ah, who knows what kind of cultivation base that person has? Does he have any helpers?! It's not wise for us to stay here. " Phoenix was not afraid. She merely felt that this decision was a little too rash.
"Since things have come to this, we can only stay behind. Otherwise, all our previous efforts would have been for naught. "
After sending everyone off, Yang Jingtian and the others went back to their rooms to rest. The courtyard returned to silence.
Yang Jingtian did not sleep the entire night. He was constantly paying attention to his surroundings. However, the person they were waiting for did not appear. Until the morning of the next day, there was no sound at all.
"Looks like you are really a cunning person!" Yang Jingtian could only give up on his original plan.
Two days later, Yang Jingtian and Xiao Fengyu returned to the capital.
Yang Luoying was settled in the Bai family and was living quite a good life. Under Bai Yueming's care, if she wanted to eat or play, she would definitely treat Yang Luoying as a distinguished guest.
When Yang Luoying was bored, Bai Yueming would accompany her to stroll around the streets.
Today, the two of them went to sweep the shopping mall, but Yang Luoying seemed to be uninterested. Yang Jingtian had been gone for many days, but there had been no news, which made her a little worried.
Bai Yueming also saw what Yang Luoying was thinking, so he brought Yang Luoying to a leisure club at noon and prepared to bring Yang Luoying to have a good meal.
However, before the two of them entered the club, they were stopped by someone at the door.
"Yang Luoying, you have been out for so long. Shouldn't you go home?" A very ordinary looking young man with an arrogant face blocked the door with an eccentric tone.
Yang Luoying had a good memory. Even if she had met someone once, she could still remember him. Furthermore, the person standing in front of him was her cousin, Yang Long, who had been very mean to her ever since she returned to the Yang family.
Yang Long was the son of the second uncle. He was arrogant and despotic. He could be considered a useless disciple in the Yang family. Ever since Yang Luoying returned, she had been making things difficult for Yang Luoying.
Now that he suddenly appeared in front of Yang Luoying, Yang Luoying could not help but frown.
"What I am doing now has nothing to do with you. "
"Tsk, it has nothing to do with me. If you say it has nothing to do with me, then it has nothing to do with me?" Yang Long curled his lips and said. "Let me tell you, it's better for you to obediently go home with me now. We'll carry out the arrangements at home. "
"You don't seem to understand the situation. I'll say it again. I have nothing to do with Yang family anymore. " Yang Luoying said coldly. She did not know why Yang Long still dared to show off in front of her. Could it be that he wasn't home when Yang Jingtian went that day?
"Don't give me face and be shameless. Do you really think that cheap big brother of yours can protect you for the rest of your life? Hmph hmph, dream on! Let me tell you, your family spent a lot of money to hire an expert. It's fine if that elder brother of yours doesn't show up. As long as he dares to show up, we, the Yang family, will be merciful if we don't break his legs. "
