n

n“Li Tao,” Li Tao replied mechanically.

n

n“You know Liu Ying’s father?” Xiao ran asked again.

n

nLi Tao shook his head in confusion,”I don’t know him!”

n

nXiao ran furrowed his brows. Could it be that he really didn’t know her?

n

nIf this was the case, Liu Ying was lying. This matter was a scam from the beginning to the end.

n

n“What’s with the account book?”

n

nLi Tao replied,”I am the trusted aide of the former county Magistrate. As the Lord was unwilling to join them in their evil deeds, he was framed and killed by them. The account book is the records of the Lord’s life. It contains evidence of the county magistrate’s corruption and the sand River Gang’s illegal activities.” A few days before he was killed, Daren seemed to have felt that something was wrong and gave the account books to me for safekeeping. ”

n

n“You’re just a weak scholar, how did you escape their pursuit?” Xiao ran asked again.

n

n“I know how to disguise myself, and I’m pretty good at it. I’ve been pretending to be a beggar with my disguise and have been hiding until now.”

n

n“Why are you here?”

n

n“I came with the sand River Gang. When I saw Sha Huangtian leading a large group of people, I guessed that they must be people from the capital. I wanted to take a gamble, so I followed them here.” Li Tao said.

n

n“Where’s the account book now?” Xiao ran asked the main point.

n

n“It’s … It’s under the small tree in my courtyard. ”

n

nAfter getting the information he wanted, Xiao ran released him from his control.

n

nLi Tao was shocked as if he was in a dream.

n

nHe only felt that in that instant, his body seemed to be out of his control. He couldn’t remember what he had done or said.

n

n“What did you do to me?” she asked in horror.

n

nXiao ran took out his silver sword guard identity token.

n

nLooking at the token, Li Tao was shocked. He could tell at a glance that these were the divine sword guards.

n

nHowever, he didn’t believe her immediately. He asked,””You are from the divine sword guards?”

n

n“Not bad!” Xiao ran admitted.

n

n“You’re from the capital?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“How can I trust you?”

n

n“You’re in my hands now. If I want to harm you, do you think you can escape?” Xiao ran retorted.

n

nLi Tao thought about it seriously and felt that Xiao ran was right.

n

nHe didn’t have any cultivation at all, just a weak scholar.

n

nThis person in front of him could even deal with Sha Huangtian and the others easily.

n

nIf they wanted to harm him, they wouldn’t have to spend so much to get rid of the sand River Gang’s higher-ups.

n

nThinking of this …

n

nLi Tao instantly made a decision and knelt in front of Xiao ran.”Master, please make the decision for me! I’m going to expose the county Governor and the others. ”

n

n“Get up! I already know what you want to say. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nLi Tao was stunned and suspicious,”Sir, you know about it?”

n

n“My methods are far more terrifying than you can imagine.”

n

nSeeing this.

n

nLi Tao stood up from the ground. His eyes were filled with hope as he waited for Xiao ran’s decision.

n

n“Find a place to hide first, I’m going to the sand River Gang now. When I’m done with my business, I’ll meet you in your courtyard tomorrow morning. ” Xiao ran ordered.

n

n“Yes.” Li Tao agreed.

n

n“Sir, be careful. The sand River Gang is much more powerful than you think.”

n

n“I know what I’m doing,” Xiao ran said.

n

nAfter he left.

n

nWith a tap of his feet, Xiao ran rushed into the clouds and used the celestial ascending step. He turned into a golden light and rushed toward the sand River Gang.

n

nAfter a few breaths.

n

nXiao ran stopped in the sky above the northern part of the city and looked down at the headquarters of the sand River Gang.

n

n“Is this the place?”

n

nLooking down from above, he saw that the courtyard was full of people. It seemed that there were at least hundreds of people here, and there were some strong ones among them.

n

nIn the forbidden area of the backyard, he felt an extremely powerful aura.

n

nIt was evil, cold, and exuded a terrifying chill. With the room he was in as the center, it affected the surrounding environment, causing the surrounding temperature to drop to a terrifying level.

n

n“Strange! How can such a powerful man come from such a small county?” Xiao ran was puzzled.

n

nHe took a step forward.

n

nHe descended from the sky and landed in the forbidden area in the backyard.

n

nThere were guards around. Although there were not many of them, they were all very strong. There were ten of them, two of them were at the second stage of the mystical Grandmaster realm, and eight of them were at the advanced Grandmaster realm.

n

nHis sudden appearance startled the guards.

n

nHowever, those who were able to stand guard here reacted quickly. They quickly regained their senses and rushed forward to surround Xiao ran.

n

n“Take him down!” The middle-aged man in the lead ordered.

n

nThe eight martial grandmasters immediately moved and rushed towards Xiao ran.

n

nA powerful aura rose from their bodies. They worked together in an orderly manner and sealed off all of Xiao ran’s escape routes as they tried to capture him.

n

nFor a moment.

n

nThe backyard was shrouded in a bright spiritual power.

n

nXiao ran didn’t even spare them a glance as he walked forward calmly.

n

nTheir attacks were about to land on his body.

n

nBuzzzzzz!

n

nA golden light burst out from his body and shot out.

n

nThey were sent flying backward as fast as they came. Their bodies exploded in the air, turning into a rain of blood that fell to the ground.

n

n“Let’s attack together!” The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically.

n

nHe called out and took the lead to attack.”Formless divine fist!”

n

nThe black fist radiance, which was hundreds of feet wide, locked onto Xiao ran and ruthlessly smashed toward his head.

n

nThe other person also made his move at the same time.

n

n“Space-splitting God-slaying saber technique!”

n

nThe blade light slashed out hundreds of times in a row. Its afterimages were everywhere in the air, shrouding Xiao ran and ruthlessly slashing at him.

n

nXiao ran remained unmoved and continued to walk forward.

n

nHowever, he raised his index finger at this moment and pointed in the air. Two golden finger forces broke through the air and shot towards the two of them.

n
