Chapter 256: Hidden Crisis

After listening to Xu Yang's story, both of them frowned tightly, Jiang Ling couldn't sit still at all, rushed forward and grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What you said is true?"

What Xu Yang said just now was definitely not a trivial matter, he said that he heard some strange people talking, as if he wanted to attack the imperial city, so he wanted to investigate.

As a result, he was discovered while stalking, so he fought, and in the course of the battle, he found that his opponent was not a cult alliance, but he failed to catch one of them, so he came to find the two of them.

In fact, he didn't really want the two of them to know about this matter, after all, he missed this matter, and with his strength, he could actually catch one person.

But because he was full of thoughts about whether opening the Red Soul State would affect Wang She, his reaction speed became much slower, so that the opponent had a chance to get out.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, as long as what you say is true, it means that you have made a great contribution, and your father will reward you, not a member of the evil alliance...... Do you have any characteristics on their bodies or moves?"

Jiang Ling saw his scruples, so he said, and then asked a question, the top priority now is to find out who it is and why it is not good for the imperial city.

Now there are really a lot of people in the Imperial City, and all of them are big people, doing it at this time is equivalent to going against the entire Zhuling Continent, what kind of person can't think about it?

"I didn't pay attention to the characteristics of their bodies, the environment was dark at the time, and they were wearing cloaks, but there was a problem with their moves, and they were generally quick to change moves, and they were very good at blocking. ”

Xu Yang didn't remember their appearance and characteristics at all, but he remembered the moves clearly, their moves changed quickly, and they could always change their moves in time to block the opponent's moves.

While it's easy to lose the initiative in battle, the cost of blocking is minimal, and as long as you drag on long enough, there is definitely a way to win, unless your opponent's attack speed is too fast for them to change their moves.

However, this kind of combat method is still rare, because very few people's reaction speed can achieve this level, and the high frequency of change of moves has high requirements for both mental and physical bodies.

It is usually necessary to make a judgment in a split second and then act on it, and if the calculation power is not strong enough, or the physical reaction speed is not fast enough, it will not be able to fight in this way.

"Blocking, it's really quite rare, did you just say how many of them are good at blocking?"

If only one of them is good at blocking, it would not be an unusual thing, after all, they have seen too many geniuses, and there are not a few people on the mainland who can do this kind of thing.

To this question, Xu Yang's answer was, "There are more than a dozen, all of them are good at blocking, with my speed, I haven't been able to take advantage of the slightest, and their spiritual power is not up to the ground level." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately fell silent, and more than a dozen people who were good at blocking appeared at the same time, which was not normal, they were likely to be from the same sect, but this was not the most important thing.

They were all only human-level cultivators, and they could actually block the attack launched by Xu Yang after using the Red Saint Record, which was the strength of the ten-fold ground level, although it was only temporarily borrowed, it was enough to shock.

"Hey, Xue Yan, you go and report this matter to Uncle Ning first, Xu Yang, you take me to the place where you fought just now, it seems that there are still dangers in the imperial city that we haven't found out. ”

Jiang Ling immediately made a decision and asked Jiang Xueyan to inform Ning Yuan first, this matter was no longer something he could handle, and he needed Ning Yuan's assistance, and Jiang Hanhai had no way to deal with this matter for the time being.

At least so far, the competition of the first school on the surface is more important, since it is acting, of course, it is necessary to act in a full set, at least people outside the imperial city cannot see that this is acting.

The three of them left the palace immediately, and Jiang Xueyan went to inform Ning Yuan of the matter according to Jiang Ling's instructions, and Xu Yang took him and rushed to the location where the battle had taken place before.

Speaking of this matter, it is really a bit strange, now there are people everywhere in the imperial city, and no one has found out about the battle, at least so far, only Xu Yang has reported this matter alone.

Jiang Hanhai and Ning Yuan were in the main hall at this time, preparing to leave to watch the selection, when Jiang Xueyan rushed in and told the two of them about it.

Both of them realized the seriousness of the matter at the first time, Jiang Hanhai directly assigned Ning Yuan to deal with this matter, and he went to the stands under the escort of soldiers.

Jiang Xueyan contacted Jiang Ling through the spirit weapon and learned his location, and immediately rushed to his location with Ning Yuan, at this time he and Xu Yang had already arrived at the location where the battle was taking place.

The location here is really remote, it is a small alley, although it is in the center of the imperial city, but almost no one goes this way, and there are only a few people who take shortcuts to this side.

After all, there are basically smart people in the Imperial City now, and they know that there are undercurrents surging in the Imperial City now, and there are undercover agents everywhere.

However, it can be seen that there was indeed a fight here, and there are indeed traces of battle on the walls and the ground, and there are indeed some special traces on the ground, which should be the traces left by the block.

In fact, the traces left by the block are easy to distinguish, anyway, it is the retreat of the feet without leaving the ground, leaving a trace on the ground, although Gangneung has not seen it a few times, but it can still be recognized.

He crouched down to check the traces of the block, from which he should be able to get some clues, but the result disappointed him, he couldn't see anything at all, not even the size of his shoes.

Xu Yang was not idle, he had already gone to the depths of the alley at this time, and those people were running in this direction at that time, and the speed was very fast, and it had disappeared in the blink of an eye, he wanted to see if there were any clues left.

As a result, this look really made him find a clue, he found an extremely small hole in the wall, and the shape should have been pierced with a sword, and he subconsciously looked up.

The houses around here are very high, and if you climb directly, you will definitely not be able to go up, but if you can borrow strength from the sword, it is not necessarily, and the weapon they use happens to be a sword, which is too coincidental.

He didn't tell Gangneung about his discovery, but tried to climb it himself, and when he entered the state of the red soul, although it took a little effort, he also managed to climb to the top of the nearby house, and then he found a new clue.

As he thought, those people must have escaped from the house, leaving traces of their escape, but only one place, and he searched for a long time in the vicinity, but could not find any other clues.

This only shows that they did escape from above, but there is no way to know which way they are going, he can only return to the alley, while Gangneung is still observing the traces left by the block.

There are so many traces, he can see almost now, and the current result is that he has found nothing, except that he can see that this is the trace left by the block, and he can't see anything else.

However, it can't be regarded as completely ungained, at least this can prove that what Xu Yang just said is true, there was indeed a battle that broke out in this vicinity, and Jiang Ling was skeptical before.

It's not because he doesn't trust Xu Yang, it's purely because he's used to it, he hasn't directly trusted anyone or anything for so many years, and he naturally doesn't believe in this incident very much.

As for Xu Yang, so far he still believes in it, and what is certain at present is that he seems to have something in the hands of the Nightmare Clan, which may affect him, and he can be trusted for now.

Of course, this is only for now, the relationship between the royal family and the nightmare clan is also a bit delicate, although it feels like the cooperation is quite good now, but both sides have their own calculations, and the cooperation will definitely not last long.

The current situation of the Nightmare Clan and the Imperial Clan is because there is a Lingyun Sect in the open and an evil alliance in the dark, and they must cooperate to ensure rapid development, and when they grow up, there is a high probability that they will break up.

But it's only a high probability, if the two sides can grab each other's handles, or if there is some reason why they don't want to break up, then they can continue to cooperate, but it can't be the same as now.

But that's all for the future, Xu Yang is still worth believing now, and I'll talk about it later, the top priority now should be to deal with this matter as soon as possible, this is not a small problem.

If Xu Yang is right, then there are really a lot of hidden crises in the imperial city now, and the undercover agents of the evil alliance have not all been found, and at this time, a group of people who don't know where they come from have emerged, and they must be dealt with seriously.

After Jiang Ling checked the last trace, he immediately stood up and said to Xu Yang: "They may still be nearby, one of them may be injured, and they can't go far." ”

Xu Yang was obviously stunned, he obviously didn't find anything just now, how long has it been since he could think of this, how can he see it?

He subconsciously wanted to ask what was going on, but he still held back stiffly, because of Jiangling's identity, he is the prince, and it stands to reason that he is now at most a guard.

Jiang Ling told him that this was already very face-saving for him, theoretically speaking, unless Jiang Ling asked him to speak, he should not speak, after all, he had no background and his status in the Nine Star Academy was not high.

Although Lu Ping has now left the Nine Star Academy, he has also become the new student representative, but since the reshuffle of the top management of the Nine Star Academy, the status of the student representative can be said to have plummeted.

In the past, Lu Ping could be said to be a position above 10,000 people under one person, but the newly appointed Xu Yang, although he seemed to be quite beautiful outside the Nine Star Academy, in the academy, the treatment was even worse than that of ordinary students.

Maybe it's because of the previous incident, Nine Star Academy specially arranged an independent cultivation environment for him, which is quite nice, but it is actually house arrest to prevent him from doing the same thing as before.

For that kind of thing, the Nine Star Academy really didn't want to go through it again, so it took the opportunity to weaken the status of the student representative, and now his status is not a little lower than that of Lu Ping.

Without the Nine Star Academy as a backer, he is at most a commoner, in front of Jiangling, of course, there is no way to be the same as Jiang Xueyan and them, if Jiangling doesn't speak, he can't speak, especially in the imperial city.

He was not from a good background, so he didn't want to be close to Jiang Ling and them all the time, Jiang Xueyan was an exception, after all, he didn't know her identity when he first met her.

Ning Zhina was purely accidental, it was entirely because he was in the secret realm of Lindao, under the influence of Wang She's Red Sage Lu consciousness, he beat people up first, and he couldn't keep his distance if he wanted to, and he couldn't do it, and he couldn't know each other.
