Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 223: Why did the ever-effective [Willow's Fire] suddenly fail?

Ding Chen, who quietly came to Zhang Hao's door, was proficient in various mysterious formations and naturally would not be as reckless as Zhang Di.

He did it casually.

In just two breaths, the "array lock" on the door was removed silently!

Then he hung the broken lock he had brought with him loosely on it.

Then, a ghost-like figure entered the house...

At this time, on the bed.

Zhang Hao, whose injuries had not yet healed, lay there weakly.

Although this guy knew early on that his cousin would help him kill Ding Chen.

But he endured it and didn't show it to his lackeys.

After all, this is a serious matter of murder!

Generally speaking, if an inner sect disciple assassinates a menial disciple, the assassination will basically be left unresolved as long as the inner sect disciple is not caught in the act.

But if the murderer talks about it loudly and shows off, isn't that putting himself on the edge of a knife?

Zhang Hao is not that stupid!

At this moment, a smug smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Hey, how will that little beast Ding Chen die?"

"Given my cousin's temper, he would definitely press his mute point and torture him before killing him, right?"

"I really want to see it with my own eyes..."

Ding Chen suddenly flashed to Zhang Hao's ear and asked, "What do you want to see?"

"what!!"

The sudden words frightened Zhang Hao so much that his hair stood on end and he almost died!

"You, you, you, how are you still alive?!"

Ding Chen smiled strangely: "Haha, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

"Look what this is?"

As Ding Chen spoke, he took out a dark green dagger from his storage ring.

"T-This is my brother's weapon?!"

"Have you not……"

"No, it's impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Hao was filled with fear and panic, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"As for the last incident, I think it would be fine if you could just stop and wait for a year or so until your injuries healed and you could start a new life after giving you a beating."

“I don’t want to kill them all.”

"But what about you? You let your cousin come and kill me?"

"Since you insist on going down the road to death, you can't blame me..."

"no no!!"

Although Zhang Hao, who was terrified at this moment, shouted with great effort, his voice was not very loud.

It was because he was too weak due to his severe injuries.

So much so that his shouts could not be heard outside the house.

"puff!"

Ding Chen was honest and unceremonious. He took Zhang Di's knife and pierced Zhang Hao's heart cleanly and neatly!

Then, he left in style.

After Zhang Hao struggled weakly for a few times on the bed, he died completely...

At this time, Ding Chen was "taking over the battle" in the courtyard.

Frankly speaking, the formation used by the Hehuan Sect to guard the menial disciples' residences is not sophisticated at all.

It can even be said to be "clumsy"!

With Ding Chen's level of Xuan Zhen, he can seize the core direction of the formation in minutes and hold the control of the formation firmly in his own hands!

Just like before, when Zhang Di destroyed the array lock;

It was Ding Chen who took action at the first moment and turned off the "alarm" sound of the formation.

This way, no one else was alarmed.

Because Ding Chen didn't want people to know that he was attacked by someone who could break the "house door lock", but he was still safe and sound...

And now, after taking over the formation, Ding Chen came to the gate of the house, drew out Zhang Di's knife, and then chopped down -

There was a "click" sound.

The old lock, which was already broken, fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill alarm sounded in Zhang Hao’s residence!

Ding Chen returned to his residence as quickly as possible before everyone arrived.

He put the intact array lock obtained from Zhang Hao on the door and then slipped into the house.

In this way, he has completely distanced himself from the killing!

"what sound?"

"Alarm, it's an alarm!"

"Fuck, I heard it before."

"But the sound was very short. I leaned against the window and listened carefully, but there was no sound again. I thought I had misheard..."

"Which room is it?"

"I don't know, go check it out!"

"Let's go, let's go together!"

Some of the menial disciples whose "Gossip Soul" was burning fiercely went out curiously.

But more practitioners still stayed in the house.

Hold weapons in hand and be alert!

As the bottom of the "food chain" of sect practitioners, these people are very clear about their own capabilities.

Go watch the fun?

What a joke!

With my small body...

If you are not careful, you will not only fail to enjoy the fun, but also lose your own life!

Soon, the alarm in the menial disciples' area brought the several outer disciples who were responsible for patrolling the area and were in charge of "patrol and law enforcement" to the scene.

"It's late at night and I can't even get a good night's sleep!"

An outer sect disciple who had accepted a patrol mission complained while picking his nose.

The other person walked away and shouted impatiently: "What's going on?"

"Which room was the alarm from?"

"Come on, tell me, was it theft? Or was it an accidental touch?"

In the past, the situations that most triggered alarms were these two: either a thief was robbed;

Or maybe someone got drunk and inserted the key incorrectly when opening the door when returning home, thus accidentally triggering the alarm system of the house door lock.

It was not until they approached Zhang Hao's courtyard that their spiritual perception detected the bloody smell on the bed.

His sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide: "Someone's dead?!"

"It turned out to be a murder case?!"

They then had some snacks, two of them stayed at the scene while the other two went to find the elders.

When the head of the chores disciple area arrived, there was obvious anger on his face: "Fuck you, how dare you break into a house and kill someone?"

"This is too outrageous!"

In the past, a few menial disciples would die from time to time, and people didn’t care much.

That's because most of them died outside.

But very few people die in their own house!

After all, the houses of the menial disciples are also protected by the sect's formation.

Although all major sects treat menial disciples as cheap laborers.

But even if they are laborers, you have to let them sleep well in a safe place so that they will have the strength to exploit you the next day, right?

Therefore, the Hehuan Sect spared no expense to install array locks on the residences of the menial disciples.

And now, someone actually broke through the formation and entered the house to kill people!

In the eyes of Elder Fang, this was quite provocative...

He frowned and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Damn it, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Immediately, Fang Jianfeng used his connections to invite two outer sect elders who were good at on-site inspections.

With their help, the murderer was gradually identified——

"From the extent to which the 'Array Lock' was destroyed, the opponent's Xuan Xiu realm should be between the fourth and sixth levels of the Soul Gathering Realm, and a Wood Element Xuan Ling."

"Use a knife."

"Not too old."

"Wait, the aura left on the padlock... is somewhat similar to that of the deceased Zhang Hao?"

"Perhaps they are relatives."

After investigating for a long time, Fang Jianfeng finally came to a shocking truth -

The person who killed Zhang Hao was actually his cousin Zhang Di!

Zhang Di has not appeared in public these days.

It can also be understood as: fleeing for fear of crime!

Here, the murder case had just been settled.

Over there, Zhang Bingyao, Liao Rujia and others were all extremely anxious——

"It's been fifteen days!"

"How come Ding Chen is still alive and kicking?!"

"Why did the will-o'-the-wisp, which has always been successful, suddenly fail when it comes to him?"
