C530 In the Darkness

Two hours later. ...    

    

Northern Martial Tower, archive room.    

    

An old deacon was sorting out Chen Lao's files. Including the Devil Cultivator spectral cultivator who had committed a major crime, the once powerful deacon, as well as all sorts of major and minor events and records. These messy things were categorized by the old deacon. They were placed in the surrounding walls.    

    

The information cabinets made up of small metal boxes were placed from the ground all the way to the roof. The information at the top even required the old deacon to sit on his lotus leaf flying ship to get it.    

    

Each box was equipped with a special iron chain and a defensive crystal. The files and information that had been cleared were placed all over the floor. They had been painted and changed, and all kinds of confidential information had been changed beyond recognition.    

    

The old deacon was also arranging all of these things, then putting them into the stove next to him and burning them all up.    

    

Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.    

    

The old deacon raised his deep old eyes and said in surprise: "Why are there so many people who like to come to the old archive recently?" There was a lot of information in Martial Tower, so there could not only be one archive room. Generally speaking, the important information files would be kept in the record spar. There was a special secret room, and the keys would be divided into a few sections and placed in the hands of the Martial Tower's managers and a few super deacons. The files that he was in were all old files.    

    

The location was not good either, and it was close to the Martial Tower's dungeon. It was usually cold and humid, and there was no sunlight. Ordinary deacons would not come here. Only deacons who wanted to investigate old cases would occasionally come. When they came, they would immediately leave after finding something, as if they would stay for a moment longer. It was as if they were infected by some kind of disease.    

    

However, in the past few days, more and more people had come. Some time ago, there was a new girl who invited the old deacon to drink a bottle of wine. This made the old deacon very happy, so he said a lot.    

    

But after he woke up from the wine, the old deacon felt some regret. He said too many things that he shouldn't have said. Today, the old deacon decided that he could not make such a mistake again.    

    

"Come in!"    

    

The old deacon said in a clear voice.    

    

Then, a black shadow pushed open the door and entered.    

    

That person stood at the door and did not enter. The crystal light in the room could only illuminate the opponent's robe, but it could not see his face.    

    

"What is it? If you are looking for information, then do it yourself. The left is from ten years ago to thirty years ago, the right is from thirty years ago. The last one is the deacon's credentials."    

    

The old deacon calmly said, continuing to burn his waste paper.    

    

The person who came did not move but still stood at the door and said: "I just want to ask one thing."    

    

"Speak!"    

    

The old deacon said without raising his head.    

    

The black shadow continued: "I heard that a few days ago, a little girl was asking around about the old case from twenty years ago. It's about the Ghost Sect"    

    

The old deacon's movements immediately slowed down, and there was a strange expression on his face.    

    

"Yes, she came to ask me if I know anything about what happened twenty years ago. I have lived for so long, so naturally I know some things. So I talked to her for a while and told her some things I know. Is there a problem?"    

    

The black shadow slowly said:" What did you tell her? "    

    

The old deacon smiled: "Naturally what you know will be told. The old case twenty years ago. A lot of information has already disappeared. And the disappearance was very strange. Until now, no one had been able to find out who did it. Many of the people who had personally experienced it back then did not know how many secrets there were during this period of time. But I am different, I know a bit more. Not only do I remember the beginning and the end of the matter, I also preserved some things. If you want to know, I can tell you as well."    

    

" What about the things? "    

    

The black shadow's voice sank, and in a trance, it seemed to carry a bit of killing intent.    

    

The old deacon said with a faint smile: "The thing is naturally given to that little girl. No one cares about this thing, I can't keep it until I die. What, you represent the Martial Tower to blame me? Are you going to fire me from this damn place?"    

    

The black shadow said in a stern voice, "You're playing with fire."    

    

The old deacon finally put down the thing in his hand. He clapped his hands and said: "You are here to kill me right? Could it be that there really is a truth in the thing that I leaked? Hehe, that would be too interesting, a big case. It's going to be ten stars."    

    

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow at the door moved. It was a flash of golden light, and everything in the surroundings seemed to freeze, leaving only that ray of light that could take one's life.    

    

This move was extremely powerful, both in terms of speed and power. It was definitely a top expert. Wherever it passed, space collapsed countless times, including all the papers in the archive. The metal box on the wall and the crystal barrier all cracked.    

    

But in the next moment, the hand that took his life was blocked. The old deacon raised his hand and blocked the opponent's killing move with his dragon claw. The tip of his finger against the dragon claw was a draw, but the moment the two of them exchanged blows, boom!    

    

"Dragon Scale Heavenly Execution! It's you, Great General Wu Ji!"    

    

The old deacon said with a faint smile, "There's no more Great General. Wu Ji died twenty years ago, under the conspiracy of rebellion. The me who survived now is only a grade three internal deacon that is on the verge of dying."    

    

" You are still alive, that is a threat! "    

    

The black shadow gritted his teeth and said.    

    

"Is that so? But I have never thought of this before. It seems that at least half of those rumors are true. Unfortunately, it is a pity that I am too stupid to investigate this case. Luckily, I told everyone I know. That little girl seems pretty smart, maybe she can find out"    

    

The old deacon smiled happily.    

    

The black shadow gritted his teeth: "Then you won't be able to see it. Today, you should also die, die here."    

    

The old deacon laughed even more happily, and said in a clear voice, "Idiot, don't you see where this place is? Martial Tower is not a place for you to act rashly. The sound of the battle between you and me just now. It was enough for over a hundred deacons to come down and check it out. You think you can escape? Now it's not the same. A few decades have passed. This world is no longer a place where Devil Cultivator like you can be arrogant."    

    

" Is that so? Then why hasn't anyone come down yet?"    

    

The black shadow said calmly.    

    

This sentence caused the old deacon's expression to change. Immediately after, the black shadow continued: "Before I came, I checked your information. Do you really think I don't have the slightest doubt? Hmph, just a few missions and you're promoted to a level 3 deacon. But I never made any progress in my life, and then I became an internal worker. Who do you think you can hide from? You are not qualified to be a deacon. You don't understand what it means to catch people and catch ghosts. You must be fully prepared!"    

    

After he finished speaking, the old deacon saw a faint crystal light shining outside. He immediately understood that a crystal array had already been set up outside.    

    

He was afraid that he would not be able to escape. The only thing he could do now was to give it his all.    

    

As he thought of this, the old deacon once again attacked in shock. The black shadow was not afraid at all and immediately charged forward.    

    

The battle lasted for a full ten minutes before it ended. In the end, the mysterious black shadow still walked out.    

    

With blood on his body, after the black shadow walked out, a few young deacons dressed in deacons' robes quickly approached.    

    

The black shadow wiped the fresh blood on his hands on his clothes and said: "You were secretly called here, right? All of this was dealt with cleanly, no one could detect it. Otherwise, you'll end up the same way."    

    

" Yes! "    

    

The young deacons all agreed and quickly ran to deal with it.    

    

The black shadow changed his clothes and left with big steps. He took out another piece of paper from his pocket. The names of Lo Tian and Qiuling were written on it.    

    

With a long sigh, the black shadow drew a cross on both of their names and said softly, "There is no other way. Damn it, both of you have to die."    

    

...    

    

At this moment, on the other side.    

    

Fatty Zhang and Lo Tian finished a whole serving of lamb chops in the carriage.    

    

Fatty Zhang ate until his mouth was full of oil. He repeatedly praised, "What a good craftsmanship. Next time, he would go to this restaurant to eat. Mr Lo, are you sure what you said is correct? Could it be that you guessed wrong?"    

    

Fatty Zhang furrowed his brows, and there was still a look of disbelief on his face. It couldn't be helped. What Lo Tian had just told him... It was too explosive. If this could be put on the martial artist newspaper, it would definitely be the headlines for ten consecutive days.    

    

Lo Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know if my guess is right or not, but if my guess is really accurate. Then we are on the brink of death. "    

    

"Then let's hurry up and run. What are we waiting for? Let's leave the capital and hide for a while."    

    

Fatty Zhang rubbed his chin and said.    

    

"How long can we hide for? If I catch him, I will die. Sigh, why are we so unlucky? This kind of thing."    

    

Lo Tian held his forehead and shook his head repeatedly.    

    

Fatty Zhang thought for a while and said, "Then let's try to keep a low profile. Pretending not to know anything. Let's mix around and investigate first. When we have evidence, we will directly slap him to death."    

    

" What you said makes sense. Alright, that's all we can do for the time being!"    

    

Lo Tian said helplessly.    

    

Fatty Zhang relaxed his brows and said without any worry, "Don't worry. When one reached the bed, they would naturally be straight. There will always be a way."    

    

" What are you talking about!? Do you have any culture!?"    

    

The two of them retorted. The carriage slowly stopped.    

    

Fatty Zhang got off the carriage and went around. Zhang Wang said, "Where, where? Where is Master Mei? My boat is completely dependent on him."    

    

Lo Tian pointed at Master Mei, who was selling youtiao, and said, "He's right there. Go. Buy a youtiao and try it. "
