The streets and alleys around Zongxi Street were filled with patrolling servants and plainclothes spies.
They created an extremely tense and serious atmosphere, making the residents and passersby in this area look like they were ready to fight at any moment, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Zongxi Street was already sealed, other than the residents of the streets, no one else was allowed to enter.
Ye Lan Shan spent some money to get a lot of information from the nearby citizens.
Some of them had seen Sha Xing Luo's true face, but because the Nangong Residence had been immersed in darkness at the time of the crime, and Sha Xing Luo had flashed around like a ghost, the spectators could not see Sha Xing Luo's face clearly. They only had a rough impression of him.
The Nan Gong Family head was indeed a reclusive martial arts expert, he was the one who ended up fighting Sha Xing Luo to the death and heavily injured Sha Xing Luo, allowing the survivors a chance to escape and cry for help. However, by the time the officials arrived, Sha Xing Luo had already disappeared, while the Nangong Residence was engulfed in a sea of flames.
It wasn't until the sun rose that the fire was extinguished, and more than half of the Nangong Residence was burned and turned into ruins.
The officials speculated from all sorts of clues that Sha Xing Luo was not far from the city. It was very likely that he was hiding within a radius of five kilometers from the Zongxi Street, thus the area of five miles became a heavily searched and patrolled area. Many residents started to pay attention to their surroundings.
Ye Lan Shan fell into deep thought. Sha Xing Luo actually set a fire? In his previous life, Sha Xing Luo did not set fire to the Nan Gong Family after killing them all.
She pondered as she looked left and right. If she was Sha Xing Luo, where would she be hiding?
Suddenly, a faintly familiar figure entered her line of sight.
She didn't know what was going on either. She could only feel her eyelids twitching and a chill in her heart. She subconsciously slipped into a crack in the wall and covered her face with the meat bun in her hand as she carefully observed the figure.
What the hell? She couldn't even see clearly who that figure was. Why did she suddenly feel fear and a sense of wariness?
Why did he feel that the figure was extremely dangerous?
The figure approached and turned into another alley not far from her.
While she was secretly relieved, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the other party's face and almost cried out. Number 4?
This person was actually Number Four, one of Yue Qing Liu's trusted aides and aides!
In his previous life, Number Four was once the number one assassin. After Sha Xing Luo and the other killers rose in power, he became known as one of the top four assassins along with Sha Xing Luo and the others.
Number four was definitely a perfect killing machine!
Other than absolutely obeying to Yue Qing Liu, he had no feelings for anyone or anything at all. He did not know fear, and his techniques and experience in killing people were at the pinnacle. In his previous life, it was unknown how many people were terrified by what he heard and had nightmares that were difficult to dispel.
And it was also in his previous life that in order to deal with Yue Qing Liu, the Third Prince spent a large amount of money to hire Sha Xing Luo to fight against Number Four, and the two fought to a stalemate.
Ah, Ye Lan Shan scratched her head, she really wanted to know who was stronger between the Number Four and Sha Xing Luo, or who was stronger, or who was better.
But rather than that, she wanted to know, what was Number Four doing here?
As Yue Qing Liu's killing machine, the reason why Number Four left Yue Qing Liu's side was definitely for one thing ? ? to kill. Who was he going to kill this time?
It couldn't be her, right?
If it was really her, she would immediately go to eat and drink to her heart's content, because her life was about to be over.
Under her probing gaze, Number Four suddenly stopped at a speed that her eyes could not keep up with. He looked at her, and her eyes met Number Four's.
In that moment, Ye Lan Shan felt as if she had been pierced by two invisible, sharp, and hard ice cones. They were frozen solid and she was unable to move.
If Four were to kill her, she would soon be a corpse.
However, Number Four only glanced at her once before withdrawing his gaze, turning his head and continuing on his way.
Ye Lan Shan felt that the ice cones that pierced her body had finally disappeared. Clutching her chest, she panted heavily, her body was actually drenched in sweat, as if the two ice cones that did not actually exist had melted into water.
Fortunately, Number Four didn't come for her ? at least not now!
However, even though he wasn't right now, it didn't mean he wouldn't be right in the future!
Yue Qing Liu's men had failed to kill her multiple times in a row, and might even dispatch the unstoppable Number Four.
The tricks she had used to deal with the other assassins were not even worth mentioning in front of Number Four!
What to do?
Faced with Number Four, who would come to kill her sooner or later, she had to prepare for a rainy day. She absolutely could not wait for him to come knocking on her door.
But she really couldn't think of a way ?
As she pulled at her hair in agony, a group of excited residents ran past her.
"Quick, quick, quick, I heard that we caught a criminal who looks like Sha Xing Luo, let's go take a look ?"
"Is that true?" We've already caught more than a dozen people like Sha Xing Luo today, and they're all fake this time, right? "
"Regardless of whether it is true or false, there isn't any punishment for capturing a fake. If I were to capture one, I would earn a lot from it..."
? ?.
Capture Sha Xing Luo? Ye Lan Shan scoffed.
The skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and Sha Xing Luo, who had been severely injured, was still a good man. To catch Sha Xing Luo, one would first need to be a fellow expert like Number 4, or a God Archer like Sky Claw or Sky Eye.
Speaking of which, did Number Four come to kill Sha Xing Luo? Logically speaking, the two of them should not have any conflicts and interactions right now, but if Sha Xing Luo wanted to kill Ye Long Yan, Yue Qing Liu probably felt that Sha Xing Luo had messed up his plans, and so he sent Number Four to kill Sha Xing Luo instead!
I wonder if the current Sha Xing Luo can escape from the hands of Number Four ?
Thinking about it, Ye Lan Shan exclaimed, her eyes lighting up: She has a way to deal with number 4!
With her hands behind her back, she entered an inn and booked a room. She paced around the room, her mind spinning faster than a top.
In the evening, she finally understood a few secrets that no one else could understand, so she happily climbed onto the bed, lay down, and slept, preparing to do bad things in the middle of the night.
