Chapter 308: Qiu Gongzi
A few days later.
Hades.
In front of the Immortal Fortress, the core capital of the Hell Demon Clan's territory, a young man in white stood not far from the city, looking up at this majestic capital.
The walls were earthy yellow throughout, covered in a pale red cloak under the light of the blood moon in the underworld. The height is about 30 zhang, and it almost looks like a hill from afar, which makes people suddenly feel the infinite vicissitudes of life.
The Immortal Fortress is the collective name of a city circle, in which there are three cities, namely the Town Hell City, the White Cliff City, and the Stonewall City.
Among them, the population of the Prison City is the largest, and the ace army of the Prison Demon Clan, the Prison Army, is also stationed here.
"Immortal fortress. ”
The man in white chewed these four words lightly in his mouth, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes: "How can there be an immortal thing in the world?"
This white-clothed boy is naturally Zhao Ting.
After Zhao Si set up an altar in the barren mountain outside the West Wind City to invite the gods, Zhao Ting separated a trace of distraction from the true spirit and descended into the underworld.
Although it was just a wisp of his distraction, he also had thirty percent of his strength, which was almost comparable to the "ominous" in the middle of the fifth order.
Even when it comes to the variety of means, the ordinary fifth-order "unknown" is not as good as him.
Before rushing all the way to this immortal fortress, it was naturally to sabotage the plan of the Hell Demon Clan and add obstacles to them, and at the very least, they had to try to sneak in and destroy their Heavenly Demon Pillar.
As for Zhao Si, he and Qingxi went to the territory of the Heart Eater Demon Clan, Rose City.
Although the five demon clans in the underworld are currently faintly joining forces and want to return to the ancestral star, it is only on the surface.
In fact, almost all of these five demon clans have an inextricable feud.
Hell is different from the Ancestral Star in that it has a vast territory.
The realm is small, and the land is mostly barren, with little land that is rich and suitable for large ethnic groups.
And these precious lands are the most important and scarce resources that the five major demon clans compete for on a daily basis.
The realm of the Hell Demon Clan and the Heart Eater Demon Clan are just on the border, and the demons of the two races often have conflicts over the land, and they are inextricably fought.
At this time, the reason why we were able to put aside the contradictions and maintain peace and coexistence for the time being was entirely driven by interests.
And now, as long as someone can stir up the contradiction between the two races in the slightest, they will completely burn like Mars.
Not to mention that the Mind Eater Demon Clan has only recently relied on its geographical advantages to forcibly incorporate the sea city between the two demon territories, Rose City, into its own territory.
And Rose Island was originally the territory of the Hell Demon Clan, and it has been since ancient times.
Although the high-level leaders of the Hell Demon Clan temporarily endured this breath, the people and even the children of their Hell Demon Clan were indignant, and they all clamored for a war with the Heart Eater Demon Clan to take back Rose City.
The reason why Zhao Si went to Rose City was precisely to assassinate the current city lord of Rose City and light a fuse for the dispute between the two clans.
And Qingxi was by his side and helped him.
After Zhao Ting subdued Qingxi for Zhao Si, according to her own words, there was a sister who seemed to be in Rose City.
Moreover, that sister is well-known in Rose City, and has been related to many dignitaries in the city, if she can catch her line, the success rate of assassinating the Rose City Lord may be much greater.
After some thought, Zhao Ting agreed with the idea of the two.
Zhao Si has a supernatural power "Thousand Changes", judging from the current supernatural effect, even he can't recognize Zhao Si's disguise, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it.
As long as he can assassinate the Rose City Lord as the Prison Demon Clan, he will deliberately show his horse's feet and point the finger at the Prison Demon Clan.
Then there will be a war between the two tribes!
It's a great deal, give it a try, and it doesn't matter if you fail.
The three soldiers split into two routes, Zhao Si and Qingxi went to Rose City, while Zhao Ting came to the Immortal Fortress.
As soon as I approached the Immortal Fortress, a different feeling came over me.
Completely different from when they were in Zephyr City, the two soldiers guarding the gate outside this immortal fortress were actually members of the Hell Demon Clan.
This can be seen from the appearance of the facial features.
In fact, among the demons, the higher the bloodline, the more perfect the appearance of the demons, among the five major demons, except for the mountain demons, which are too big to be like the human race, the other four races are almost all perfect human races.
Especially in appearance, there is almost no flaw, if it is placed in the world, the appearance of these demons is one in a million.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
The two Prison Demon Clans guarding at the gate were like this, Ying Ting's face was angular, with a hint of coldness, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the pedestrians who came and went into the city from time to time, and a masculine aura came to his face.
Although Zhao Ting is a human race, his aura at this time is no different from that of the demon race, and he has transformed his appearance into a demon-like race similar to the human race.
Neither ugly nor beautiful.
And the demon-like race is also a demon race with a low status, neither despised nor like the five royal families, and will attract the attention of others wherever they go.
The eyes of the two Prison Demon Clans guarding the door quickly swept over his body, and after interrogating his racial identity and the reason for entering the city, they did not embarrass him and let him enter the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Ting went straight to the most central city in the circle of the Immortal Fortress City, the Town Prison City.
He had a plan in mind when he came.
According to Qingxi, she knew a Meizu woman who was begging for a living in the city of Zhenjiao, who had opened an inn in the city and knew everything in the city very well.
If she has her help in it, the success coefficient of Zhao Ting's trip will be greatly improved.
It is natural to have acquaintances in the city, so after Zhao Ting entered the immortal fortress, he came directly to the inn that Qingxi said.
"Home inn. ”
Looking at the black wooden sign hanging in front of this small inn, Zhao Ting read softly.
Qingxi's sisters said that they were begging for a living in the town prison city, but in fact, they were outside the town prison city and bordered by White Cliff City, and were not within the actual rule of the town prison city.
However, this did not affect Zhao Ting's plan, he just wanted to find someone who was familiar with the situation in the city to understand, and he still trusted Qingxi's sisters.
Even if you can't believe it, you will naturally be able to trust it after accepting it.
Step inside the inn.
The blood moon was high in the sky outside, and it was the middle of the day, and there were not many people in the inn.
Although this inn is not large, it is very tidy inside, and the tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner, and you can tell at a glance that the location has been carefully designed.
As soon as she entered the door, a female succubus dressed sexily with fragrant shoulders and a hot body stepped out of the back room, with a kind smile on her beautiful cheeks.
She first bowed slightly, and said almost cautiously: "I've seen adults, are you staying in the hotel?"
This humble gesture made Zhao Ting frown slightly.
The identity and status of the succubus clan can be seen from this, even if he is just a demon-like race, he is nothing at all among the many demon races, but this female succubus still has to be so cautious when she sees him.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
His eyes flashed, and his gaze quickly swept over the ups and downs on the female succubus's chest, and said, "Well, stay in the hotel, help me open the best room, and send a table of dishes." ”
He took out a bunch of shiny magic elements, placed them on the table in front of the female succubus, and emphatically said, "You personally sent them." ”
The female succubus was stunned for a moment when she saw so many demon yuan, and then hesitated when she heard Zhao Ting's words, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the adults to the room first." ”
After taking Zhao Ting to the upper room on the second floor, the female succubus soon brought a table of wine and food.
After putting down the wine and food on the plate, she turned her head slightly, her purple beautiful eyes were a little unnatural, avoiding Zhao Ting's direct gaze, bowing slightly to Zhao Ting, and said, "My lord, please use it slowly." ”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Ting spoke out at the right time and stopped her: "Wait." ”
"Huh?"
The female succubus's body stiffened, and she slowly turned around, still a little afraid to look at Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, and he didn't explain, and said, "Your name is Qingchu, right?"
The female succubus's rosy lips opened slightly, and she was surprised, "How do you know my name?"
Zhao Ting smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Ting, I know Qingxi, and she asked me to come to you." ”
At the mention of the word "Qingxi", the female succubus's expression was obviously relaxed, and she said with a smile: "It turns out that the adult is a friend of Qingxi, why didn't the adult say it earlier downstairs, if he said it earlier, I won't take the adult's money." ”
Zhao Ting waved his hand and said, "Friends belong to friends, and business belongs to business." You're not busy in the store right now, are you?"
"Not busy, not busy. Qing Chu replied with a smile.
At this time, she also saw that Zhao Ting seemed to be looking for him, so she stopped.
Zhao Ting nodded, pointed to the opposite side of the round table, and said, "Then sit down, sit down and eat together." ”
"This ...... All right. ”
Qing Chu was obviously a little flattered, and carefully sat opposite Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting picked up a piece of sauced beef from the table, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Well, it tastes good, you can eat it too." ”
Under Zhao Ting's warm invitation, Qingchu finally ate in small bites.
Although Zhao Ting does not need to consume food from the outside world to obtain nutrients at present, it is also delicious to eat some occasionally.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough.
Zhao Ting wiped his mouth and asked, "I heard... Your brother works in the City Lord's Mansion of White Cliff City?"
Qing Chu nodded and said, "He has some talent in spiritual power cultivation, and he is valued by the alchemist Keqing of the City Lord's Mansion, so he specially recruited him to take him to practice." ”
When he said these words, Qing Chu's face was full of pride, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his younger brother.
Come to think of it, a demon from the Meizu clan can do things in the City Lord's Mansion of White Cliff City, which is already very remarkable.
can make people ignore his Meizu background, which does show that he is very capable.
And Qing Chu's ability to establish a foothold in the Immortal Fortress as a Meizu is also inseparable from her younger brother's work in the White Cliff City City Lord's Mansion.
Without her brother's protection, she is a weak woman, let alone opening an inn in the immortal fortress, I am afraid she may not even have the qualifications to step here.
Zhao Ting can also understand her mood.
He nodded and said, "I first came to the Immortal Fortress, and I don't know much about everything here, so I have to rely on you more......"
As he was talking, a heavy voice suddenly sounded below: "Boss, Master Qiu is here." ”
Hearing the word "Lord Qiu", Qing Chu's face suddenly became a lot more ugly, and he obviously didn't want to go out and show his face.
At the same time, Zhao Ting also felt that there was a thick and condensed demonic aura on the first floor of the inn, which was like a firefly in the night in this small inn.
Zhao Ting stood up, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is this person?"
He could sense that the strength of this person downstairs had reached the fifth-order realm, which was very rare at the border between White Cliff City and Prison City.
At least along the way, most of the strength of the demons he saw was between the third and fourth orders, although it was slightly stronger than the "unknown" on the human race and the ancestral star, but it was not beyond most.
Most of the power of the demon race is concentrated in the five major demon races, just like the spirit race and the "ominous", the talent is extraordinary, coupled with the accumulation of resources, the cultivation of the natural tide rises.
Qing Chu frowned and explained, "Hell Demon Clan. ”
In this way, Zhao Ting immediately understood.
The surname "Qiu" is the family name of the Hell Demon Clan, and in the Immortal Fortress, no one dares to have the surname "Qiu" except for the Hell Demon Clan.
The two were hesitating, but the sound of footsteps on the stairs was already sounding.
Obviously, the Qiu Gongzi downstairs came up.
Qing Chu's face was a little ugly, he glanced at Zhao Ting nervously, and said, "Son, you should hide quickly, let Gongzi Qiu see it, it should be troublesome." ”
Zhao Tingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"
"This inn was bought by my brother with a lot of savings, but he was taken by this Qiu Gongzi, and he ......"
"And he still wants to get both people and money?"
Zhao Ting understood what she meant.
In the immortal fortress, land can be said to be valuable, and to have such a small inn here, you can know how much effort Qingchu's younger brother has spent.
Even saying that he put all his family wealth in this inn is no exception.
This Qiu Gongzi obviously fell in love with this inn, and he didn't want to spend money to buy it, so he wanted to take Qingchu down, and then collect both people and money without much effort.
"Tsk, it's a good calculation. ”
"Lord Zhao, please hide quickly, otherwise you ......" Qing Chu was a little nervous.
Zhao Ting was a little speechless, he didn't do anything, just eat a meal and chat, how could it be the same as cheating?
Just as he was about to leave to avoid suspicion, the door was pushed open.
A young man in a black robe walked in, and when he saw Zhao Ting, his face changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "Who is this?"
The aura on this young man's body was very fierce, and the demonic qi was surging and uncertain.
Qing Chu's face turned pale when he saw him, obviously a little afraid of him, and explained in a low voice: "Hometown... Relatives from home. ”
Zhao Ting was also a little embarrassed, how could he feel like he was caught cheating.
"Hehe, yes, yes, poor relatives in my hometown......"
"Wait, don't go. The black-robed man grabbed Zhao Ting's sleeve and said angrily, "You make it clear!"
He already regarded this inn and Qingchu as his own things, how could he allow others to touch them?
