The man said with a grin, then looked around, glanced at me casually, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, there are many people, why don't you go to my village, let's talk in detail?"

"Good. Zhu Lie agreed, and followed the man towards the outskirts of the city.

Seeing this scene, I knew that Zhu Lie would not stop if he did not achieve his goal, so he sighed in his heart and hurried to follow.

On the way, Zhu Lie and I learned that this person's name is Hao Youde, a well-known rich man in the city, and there is a private manor in the suburbs, with a lot of wealth, and we learned from him that he is in Kyoto, Qingyun Kingdom, and he also has strong connections, and he is a very open-minded person.

Under Hao Youde's guidance, a few minutes later, we arrived at a manor in the suburbs, and at that moment, Hao Youde pushed the door open and made a gesture of please to us.

Nima, I didn't expect such a small place and such a quiet manor, this decoration, this architectural style, quite a bit solemn.

Zhu Lie and I entered the manor, looked around, and saw the exquisite layout inside, and I secretly admired it in my heart.

But after admiring it, I found a problem.

That's such a big manor, and there is not a single subordinate.

But before I could ask, Hao Youde led us to the hall, just entered the hall, looking at the empty house in front of him, Zhu Lie was in a hurry to sign up, and he didn't find anything abnormal, so he couldn't wait to ask: "What treasure do you want?"

"Hehe, naturally, the rarer the treasure, the better!" Hao Youde said with a grin, but just as he was talking, seeing me and Zhu Lie in the center of the hall, Hao Youde suddenly showed a cold smile on his face. Immediately after, he pressed a mechanism button with his hand on the wall in the doorway.

"Crunch... Bang!"

At that moment, Zhu Lie and I almost didn't react. We felt the inside of the hall shake suddenly, followed by a black iron cage that fell over our heads. In the blink of an eye, with a metal impact, Zhu Lie and I were covered inside.

it!

Zhu Lie and I were both shocked, almost instinctively rushed to the side, urging the internal force, wanting to break the cage, and found that this cage was actually cast of dark iron, and Zhu Lie and I, one was nearly thirty and the other was forty, and we tried our best, but we couldn't shake the cage at all?

Nima, I knew that this thief-eyed guy was not a good thing, and he told Zhu Lie that he was a liar before, but he didn't listen.

Seeing that I couldn't break the cage, I was very depressed, and at this time, Zhu Lie urged the internal force, and when he saw that he couldn't shake the cage, his eyes were almost spewing fire, glaring at Hao Youde outside, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay, you kid, dare to lie to Lao Tzu, you are looking for death!"

At the same time, I was also staring at Hao Youde, and suddenly pulled out the water dragon chant from my body, and suddenly burst out with a dazzling sword, slashing towards Hao Youde through the iron bar. Although I am trapped, my sword can easily pass through the iron bar.

However, this Hao Youde is too cunning, and the moment he saw me pull out the water dragon groan, Hao Youde took a few steps back alertly and hid behind the pillars in the hall.

Rumble!

With a roar, the sword stood fiercely on the pillar, and broke in a cloud of dust and smoke, but it did not hit Hao Youde.

Even so, under the aftermath of that sword, Hao Youde was still shocked back a few steps, then coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then his face changed a few times, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered at me: "Hehe, it's really a strong man, the strength is extraordinary, hehe, but I advise you not to waste your efforts, I spent a lot of money on this cage, and in Kyoto, Qingyun Country, I asked a craftsman to build it with dark iron." No matter how powerful the two of you are, the highest level is only level 40, and you can't open it at all. …….”

Zhu Lie and I didn't answer, but continued to stare at him with fiery eyes.

Under the angry eyes of me and Zhu Lie, Hao Youde didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but looked at the two of us separately: "Hehe, one is less than level 30, but the talent and qualifications are good, and the other is level 40, but the qualifications are a little worse, although it doesn't meet my expectations, but it doesn't matter, wait a minute, I have integrated the qualifications and talents of the two of you, as well as strength, and it is enough to participate in the recruitment competition." ”

When he said the last sentence, Hao Youde's eyes flashed with an evil light. It's very weird.

the groove.

Integrate my and Zhu Lie's strength, as well as qualifications and talents?

Suddenly, hearing his words, especially seeing his expression change, I don't know why, I couldn't help but tremble, and Zhu Lie next to me also changed his face suddenly.

"Apprentice, you have to be careful with this person..."

And at this time, in my ears, Zhou Yu's voice suddenly sounded, and the tone was very solemn.

My heart sank, my eyes looked closely at Hao Youde outside the iron cage, and asked with my mind: "Master, is what this person said true? He can really fuse my strength? Why haven't I heard it before, and... He's only a dozen levels."

"The world is so big, any evil exercises will exist..."Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "When I was still the Governor of Jiangdong, I heard that there was an evil practice in the cultivation world, and those who practiced this kind of exercise were extremely evil in their hearts, and they would be the most demagogues, and they would even use that evil exercise to devour and fuse the power of others..."

"This kind of evil person, although I have never heard of it, but I have heard a lot of this kind of thing in my life..."

"The person in front of him looks treacherous, although his strength is not strong, but since he said so, he will definitely not be alarmist.... Moreover, didn't you and this Zhu Lie fall into his hands now?"

Hearing my inquiry, Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

the groove.

Suddenly, hearing Zhou Yu's answer, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

It was at this time that I suddenly realized that the huge manor in front of me, as well as the cage cast by the dark iron, was not at all something that ordinary people could have, although Hao Youde in front of me was only a dozen levels, but he dared to provoke an existence like me and Zhu Lie, and there must be a strong force behind him.

"Merge our strength, hehe, it's up to you? I tell you, if I go out later, I'll dismantle you... Dare to plot against Lao Tzu, do you know who Lao Tzu is?

Just when I was secretly thinking about this, Zhu Lie's face changed a few times, and he also recovered his anger, and kept scolding Hao Youde.

However, between the scolding, seeing Hao Youde sneering and unmoved, Zhu Lie was very embarrassed and angry, and at this moment he also realized that this is the Xuanzi Continent, not the Haolan Continent, how can the people here know about Wolong Island?

"Hehe, I don't care who you are...", and hearing Zhu Lie's scolding, Hao Youde pursed his lips disdainfully, and then, his eyes fell on the water dragon chant in my hand, the light flashed, revealing a bit of brilliance, and he was surprised and said happily: "No wonder you are so domineering, the weapon in your hand is actually from the Qingyun Kingdom Palace, it seems that your identity as a kid is not simple." ”

What the?

He could even see the origin of the water dragon's chant?

I was stunned again, staring at him, "How do you know? Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Hao Youde raised his head and laughed, his eyes showed a bit of resentment, and then his eyes sank, "Anyway, you two will die soon, and it doesn't hurt to tell you before I die, I was originally the imperial guard of the Qingyun Kingdom's royal family, but just because I made a mistake, I was kicked out by the emperor and demoted to a commoner..."

"It turns out that you are the imperial guard...."Hearing this, I was shocked, and at this moment, it finally dawned on me, no wonder he had a cage made of dark iron, and in the face of the existence of me and Zhu Lie, there was no panic at all.

At the same time, Zhu Lie was also shocked, and his face was completely gloomy.

Originally, we thought that the guy in front of us was just a sinister and despicable villain, but we didn't expect that he once had such an identity.

At this time, after Hao Youde finished speaking, he slowly took a few steps back into the distance again, and when he reached a distance that he thought was safe, he sat down against the wall, looked at me and Zhu Lie, and smiled smugly: "Back then, I was demoted to a commoner, and I was abolished internal force, but fortunately, I was lucky, after leaving the palace, I accidentally got a book of exercises, and since then I have been incognito, left the capital, and came here, practicing in seclusion, since then, I have been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to make a comeback, and return to glory!"

Speaking of this, Hao Youde's eyes turned back and forth on me and Zhu Lie, and he laughed unabashedly: "Hehe, sure enough, when my skills are small, I finally waited for the emperor's recruitment contest for Princess Yunle this time, and even sent you two fools to the door." ”

"Wait a minute, I have fused your skills, and my strength has increased greatly, and when the time comes, the champion of the competition will be mine, and I will become the emperor's fast son-in-law, hahaha..."
