Situ Yilan sat alone under the window of the small opening. The earlier battle did not seem to have ruined her mood.

In her eyes, even if the attacker seemed extremely powerful, it would not catch her eye at all.

They are just some of the tourists who rely on their strength to make a living. In some ways, these people are not much noble compared to the porters who sell coolies on the docks...

Under the bright lights, two things were placed side by side on the table, one was an ancient-shaped long sword, and the other was an open wooden box, revealing the object the size of a fish tank inside. The main body was made of crystal, and the outside was wrapped with hollow bronze dragon body. The two were perfectly combined, making this strange-shaped vessel reveal a mysterious and gorgeous beauty.

At this time, Situ Yilan held the vessel and looked carefully under the lights. The black-robed monster stood on the side without moving...

Situ Yilan sat here to check this thing for more than an hour, but she still found nothing. She had to put it down in disappointment, frowned, and now she couldn't figure out some problems.

"It's getting late, so let's take a rest, girl." The strange accent of the black-robed stranger sounded.

Situ Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Old Hei, time is tight. If you cannot find the secret before handing it over to the General League of the Aristocratic Family, I am afraid that the elders of the clan will be very dissatisfied, which makes it difficult for us to fight for a more favorable position among the eight major families."

"This time, Miss Yilan found the burial place of the Dragon God's minister in ancient books. It was already a great achievement. She personally cracked the mechanism and obtained these two things, which was already a great achievement. Why should I worry about the clan elders?"

Situ Yilan smiled miserably and said, "These are indeed credits, but they are not enough to stop pointing at me. I am afraid that after a few days, they will re-refer to their marriage with the Nangong family... You have also seen that Nangong Shijing, you have to do it. Let me marry him? Don't think about it in this life!"

The strange man in black robe sighed helplessly. As a child of aristocratic family, his destiny is in the hands of the patriarch, so where is their turn to make the decision? It is really difficult for Situ Yilan to control her own destiny.

"The eight major families are also fighting endlessly. Under the leadership of the "Sword Demon" Beiming Wudi, the Beiming family is the dominant. In order to compete with him, the Nangong family is afraid that the Nangong family must unite..."

‘Sword Demon’ Beiming is invincible!

Just the appearance of this name made Situ Yilan feel a lot of pressure and even breathing became a little difficult.

I have always tried my best to avoid the sound of this name, because this name not only puts heavy pressure on people outside the eight aristocratic families, but also has a considerable psychological burden even within the eight aristocratic families.

The eight major families are just alliances in a broad sense, but in fact they are just groups that divide social resources by interest groups. They are mainly caused by marriages over thousands of years, but in fact there are still differences between the upper and lower levels and the inner and outer areas. For example, the Helian clan, which was originally a Di clan, was enclosed in the alliance because of its huge power in order to avoid conflicts between families. However, because of its foreign clan's identity and its hostile relationship with the Li family in Longyou for thousands of years, they were slightly isolated within the eight major clans. And the other seven major clans, only the Murong clan in the Gusu era, was willing to accept the Helian clan.

However, there are reports that the Murong clan, which originally came from the Xianbei and the Helian clan, which came from the Tuyuhun tribe of the Di tribe, were both tribes of the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe hundreds of years ago. However, later they split up and Tuyuhun, who was originally a concubine's brother, led his tribe away from the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe, and developed for a hundred years and became an independent tribe.

The eight major families have a long history. They trace their roots to each other and have extremely long and complex historical connections.

Situ Yilan gently stroked the "bronze glass cup" in front of her and the ancient sword.

The original scabbard has been severely eroded, but the current scabbard is remade by blacksmiths in Changlong Mansion and replaced with sword spikes.

With a clang, the sword was unsheathed, and the sword body was as cool as water. When illuminated by the light, the sword body was actually shining with a thin layer of rays of light, which was magnificent, and the shape was the same as that of the two swords of Bixiao and Biluo.

Two small seal patterns are etched at the thigh of the sword, with the words "Bixia".

It turned out to be the "Bixia Sword", which was said to be the legendary "Dragon God" Ao Lie, who personally circulated eight ministers of his time and could open the eight keys of the "Bronze Dragon Tower".

Before the "Dragon God" broke the void and returned, he gave the eight forged swords to eight ministers. After getting six of them, he could open the door to the "Bronze Dragon Tower". In addition to the most mysterious "Dragon God Temple" that requires the "Supreme Dragon Sword" at the level of artifacts, the eight secret rooms in the "Bronze Dragon Tower" all correspond to a sword, which contains the unique skills of martial arts thousands of years ago, and countless gold, silver and jewelry.

As the direct descendant of the "Dragon God" Ao Lie, Xianlong Cave has three swords in his hand. Later, after hundreds of years of extensive collection, he finally obtained five long swords. The sixth long sword is Ao Ziqing's Bixiao Sword, which united Qu Guihong and tortured Ao Ziqing's family, causing a storm of confrontation with Ye Qingxuan.

At the same time, the seventh long sword in Xianlong Cave also found the Birched Sword in Ye Qingxuan's hand.

At this time, what appeared in Situ Yilan's hands was the last eighth sword - the Bixia Sword!

Among the eight major families, the Situ family and the Nangong family, which have the lowest martial arts inheritance, are most concerned about the "Bronze Dragon Tower". After all, it is rare for families like the Beiming family to have superb martial arts inheritance.

The Situ family and the Nangong family are both known for business and wealth, especially the fabric business of the Nangong family is spread all over the country, and even the silk and satin used by the concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace are also supplied by the Nangong family.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Nangong family is rich in the world.

This is also the reason why the Situ family tried their best to win over the Nangong family after they discovered that they could intervene in the "Bronze Dragon Tower" business.

Taking marriage and joint study of martial arts as the method, the Situ family is interested in the wealth of the Nangong family.

As for the "Bronze Glass Cup" that was also a key protection was found in the tomb. In some aspects, the protection specifications exceeded that of this "Bixia Sword".

Although finding the "Bixiao Sword" is considered to be a completion of the task. Situ Yilan has always had great interest in this "Bronze Glazed Glass Cup" and believes that this thing must be closely related to the "Bronze Dragon Tower". Otherwise, it would not be so valued by the tomb owner, and even if it is buried, it will be held tightly in his arms.

But what is its function?

Situ Yilan gently stroked the surface of the "Bronze Glass Cup" with her hands, from the Qinglong pattern to the bottom of the cup, there was a groove, an equilateral octagonal groove.

There should be something to put here...

Perhaps, the answer lies in the lost thing, and that thing, in the base position, should be an octagon...

Situ Yilan's eyes lit up and she suddenly asked in a low voice: "Hei Lao, what's the rumor about the 'Bronze Dragon Tower' in the world? Is there anything that has an octagonal shape or has an octagonal shape?"

The black-robed monster paused for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said: "All rumors related to the 'Bronze Dragon Tower' in the world have been sent to verify, but we found that most of them were just fake... However, there was only one rumor that could not be confirmed, but it had already started to spread in the world for a long time..."

“What is it?”

"It is Jiang Shuihan, the son of Jiang Tao of Dajiang League. It is said that one thing in his hand is the key to opening the "Bronze Dragon Tower"... And legend has it that he also obtained several martial arts from the "Bronze Dragon Tower" back then, allowing Jiang Tao of Dajiang League to easily break through the innate world. And he himself has made great progress in martial arts and has become a famous young master in the world."

Situ Yilan was shocked and asked anxiously: "What is it!?"

The black-robed monster patted his head and recalled: "It seems... Huh?" The black-robed monster clapped his hands suddenly and exclaimed: "Miss. Old slave remembered it and called it 'Bronze Eight-sided Drum'!"

"It's it!"

Situ Yilan slapped the table excitedly and stood up, the ecstasy expression on her delicate face was beyond words.

At this moment, the black-robed monster suddenly turned around and shouted wildly: "Who is it!?"

He swung his body and suddenly slid across three meters away, heading straight to the hanging window on the side of the ship, and a palm print towards the edge of the window!

Bang!

A black shadow broke through the window first and rushed in. However, it was a tall and thin assassin with a masked black scarf. He stabbed in front of two daggers in his hand, running to the black old man's palm and the other party's throat. His moves were fast and fierce, extremely fast.

Hehehehe, there was a strange laugh, and the assassin shouted: "You are alert, please give me the sword and the glass cup to me quickly. I am weak-hearted and can leave you a complete body!"

"Looking for death!" The black-robed monster guest's hands filled with black light, and he quickly tapped the vital hole of the other party's body, but the person in front of him was actually slippery like a loach, with a weird and fast body movement, without any sound of wind, floating around in front of him, but his heavy hand that was bound to hit the other party several times fell to nothing. In a moment, the black old man actually felt sweat on his forehead and was shocked.

This time, it was really shocking. There were so many masters in the world. There was no trace of familiarity in the figure, but the skill of taking action was so solid and tough. This was the case with the young man earlier, and the masked man who appeared at this time.

"Old Hei, you can't let him go, kill him!" Situ Yilan pulled out the Bixia sword and quickly put the "Bronze Glass Cup" into the box, carried it to her back, and rushed to the masked assassin in black. At the same time, she kicked the stool under her feet and made a huge roar on the cabin door to warn.

"There are assassins!"

The sound of clothes breaking through the air around me came.

Although the masked assassin faced the black-robed monster and Situ Yilan, his attack was weak, but his body was still extremely powerful. After a while, he saw that he could not achieve success, and laughed a few times and said, "Okay, he is worthy of being a master of the Situ family. His hands are indeed good. If we part today, we will have a date later."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Situ Yilan and the black-robed monster were unable to stop him for a moment. He watched the other party jump out of the window, and with a thump, he fell into the water, and disappeared.

"Don't leave!" Situ Yilan was very angry and was about to start chasing her, but was stopped by a black-robed monster and said, "Don't chase the poor enemy, be careful of fraud!"

boom!

At this time, the door was knocked open and a group of experts rushed into the house.

"We are guilty, and Miss Situ was frightened!"

The eight officers who followed him were all from the Nangong family and were always following Yu Tianguan. This time he stayed, and he was ordered. Unexpectedly, there was an assassin attack on the first day, and there were a layer of fine hair and sweat on the heads of several people. Fortunately, Situ Yilan was not hurt, otherwise their heads would have to move.

"It's okay, you guys go down."

Situ Yilan sighed in her heart. Even with these people around her, she did not feel any sense of security.

"What happened?"

An impatient shout came, and Nangong Shijing only wore a robe and rushed up, revealing his smooth thighs. It was obvious that there was nothing in the robe.

Situ Yilan turned her head in disgust, and the old man quickly replied: "I just met an assassin..."

"What? That thing..." Nangong Shijing's face changed drastically. There must be no mistakes in this body that is invisible to his future, otherwise the patriarch would not be able to explain it to him.

Situ Yilan hated Nangong Shijing's style even more, and said coldly: "Don't worry. The thing is still there."

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine..."

The officers around them bowed their heads, and even they couldn't raise their heads at the performance of their masters.

He also said that he was an ally with the Situ family, but he didn't even care about the other party's life and death, just thinking about things. After all, he might be your future wife, so he had to say hello first, even if he was faced, he would have to live up to his life.

However, Nangong Shijing performed well in the arrogant manner of the children of the aristocratic family and asked anxiously: "Damn it, these two things are related to each other. The clan did not send a master to protect..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Situ Yilan talked more and more in front of her hands. She couldn't help but cough to remind her.

Nangong Shijing was stunned, but he understood that Situ Yilan's move was a reminder. However, he did not understand the true meaning of the cough. Instead, he turned his head blankly and said to the strange man in black robe: "Ah, Hei Lao, I'm not saying that you are not good at martial arts...

Situ Yilan rolled her eyes and interrupted directly: "Okay, stop talking." She ordered the officer behind Nangong Shijing, "You have nothing to do with you here, you can go down."

Only then did Nangong Shijing realize that Situ Yilan asked him not to say too much in front of his hands. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly, then cheered up and shouted: "You guys, go and torture the people on the ship to see if they did it..."

Situ Yilan sighed: "The assassin has jumped into the water and escaped. I don't think he is still on the boat!"

"Oh..." Nangong Shijing curled his lips awkwardly, thought for a while and shouted: "Then you go and interrogate to see if there are any suspicious people here, and perhaps the assassin's accomplices!"

This time Situ Yilan was not stopped.

The assassin can touch the boat, which is very likely to be tracking their whereabouts all the way and hiding them on the boat at the end. That is to say, when his group gets something, the enemy has already come on the boat. It is not necessarily assassination and treasure hunting, but to confirm whether his group succeeds. Otherwise, the person who comes will not necessarily be a person, but a group of masters who must kill.

"Yilan, who do you think discovered our actions?" Nangong Shijing said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter who discovered it. What's important is how to save things. It's the top priority until the masters of the clan come to help." Situ Yilan said.

Nangong Shijing just hates this woman so smart and calm, which makes his manly dignity feel like she is trampled on.

The black-robed monster said, "The clan dispatched experts to help, but I am afraid that it will take three days at the latest. Those who can arrive as soon as possible are just masters nearby. They are not very strong. They seem to have many people and are likely to be exposed and even taken advantage of by the enemy!"

"Then we might as well turn back and let Yu Tianguan and Chang Quan send troops to escort!"

"It is difficult to accomplish something in a chaotic crowd." Situ Yilan said.
