Chapter 106: Dead City
The next day, clear, it was raining!
In the inn, Xia Han was holding the sword in his left hand, smirking constantly, and his right hand was stroking back and forth on the Canglong Sword, and he couldn't put it down.
At this moment, the Canglong Sword no longer had Wei Feng's seal, but it was still quietly held by Xia Han in his hand, and he didn't move for half a minute.
In such a scene, the Canglong Sword was naturally refined by him!
After the three of Xia Han said goodbye to the hills last night, they found an inn in the city at random, and the hills naturally had to stay, saying that they had arranged a place to live in the mansion, and Zhong Ju and the others lived here.
Xia Han originally wanted to come down, but he was rejected by Xiaobai!
Xia Han, who lived in the inn, was ready to rest, after all, he was a little tired after traveling for so long.
But when he took out the Canglong Sword, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, and he directly sat on the ground and refined it to recognize the master!
"I don't know if with you, I can fight with the late-stage cultivators of the Divine Court Realm!" Xia Han waved the Canglong Sword and muttered to himself.
And at this moment, Xiaobai's voice sounded outside the door:
"Senior Brother Xia Han, are you up?"
Hearing this, Xia Han put the Canglong Sword into the purple jade wrench, and responded: "Come in!"
After that, Xiaobai pushed the door in, perhaps because she became a cultivator, her skin was no longer rough, but her figure was still thin, which made people feel a desire to protect.
Xiao Bai, who pushed the door in, went straight to the point: "Senior brother, the hills have come, and they said that the state lord held a banquet in the state lord's mansion, just for us to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”
When talking about the hills, Xiao Bai's voice paused, and his face was also a little unnatural, as if he was deliberately suppressing the anger in his heart!
Xia Han also discovered this, looked directly into her gaze, and said solemnly:
"You know the hills?"
Xiaobai opened his mouth and laughed at himself: "Senior brother said that I am just an ordinary person, how can I know the military captain under one person in Yeguang Prefecture." ”
Xia Han paused and said, "Then why do you hate him?"
Xia Han naturally didn't believe Xiaobai's words, after all, she was outside the city last night, if she hadn't been present and Wanfang was there, she would probably have made a move on the hills.
Xiao Bai didn't answer Xia Han's question directly, but said lightly: "Senior brother, do you have time, can you accompany me to Lingyao City to have a look?"
"Lingyao City!" Xia Han exclaimed, remembering his promise to Baixi in an instant, and went to Lingyao City to pass on a word.
In this way, Xia Han said: "It just so happens that I am also going to Lingyao City to find a person named Bai Shao!"
"What's the matter, Lingyao City is your hometown?"
When he heard Bai Shao, Xiao Bai's body trembled, and there was a different look on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, and said:
"Sort of, I want to go and see it! When is Senior Brother going to leave?"
Xia Han blinked and thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow is the state lord election, after tomorrow, after going to Lingyao City, I will go back to Wanling Academy directly!"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai first nodded, then opened his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "Senior brother, it is rumored that you can decide on the choice of the state master?"
"Who did you listen to?" Xia Han walked to the side of the bed and picked up Xiao Huang, and said nonchalantly:
"We have such a right, but it's not my Wanling Academy that has the final say, it requires a majority of the votes of the five major forces, and the cause must be to prove that the state lord is tyrannical and incompetent. ”
"So, it's not an easy task!"
"Let's go, junior sister, go and meet the state lord who will officially take office tomorrow. ”
With that, Xia Han handed Xiao Huang to Xiao Bai and walked towards the door alone!
After that, Xiao Bai Mu took Xiao Huang in a neat manner, and then followed Xia Han towards the outside of the inn.
......
Xia Han and the three of them, led by Qiu Ling, did not take long to arrive at the legendary state lord's mansion.
Unlike the opulence of the hilly mansions, the governor's mansion is much more elegant, but the glittering bricks and tiles tell the story of their high price.
On the way here, there was a scene of prosperity along the way! So Xia Han didn't think too much about the state mansion and the hilly mansion.
Just a casual glance is to step into the state lord's mansion!
As soon as he stepped into the state lord's mansion, Xia Han noticed that there were countless pairs of eyes watching him in the dark.
"Guards?" Xia Han stopped and covered his Yuan Sense, just for a moment, he could see clearly where all his eyes came from.
However, he still underestimated the huge size of the state lord's mansion, and even if he completely swept out the Yuan Sense, he couldn't see its full picture.
You must know that the strength of Xia Han's Yuan Consciousness is probably even stronger than that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Court Realm!
The breadth of the state lord's mansion and even the blue sky city can be seen from this!
Just as Xia Han stopped, he heard a hearty laughter: "Everyone, welcome to the world!"
Xia Han looked at the man who was walking slowly, dressed in a yellow robe and with a tough face, but there was a little worry in his eyes, which did not dissipate because of his hearty laughter.
Then, Xia Han searched hard for his name in his mind......
Counting the breaths, it wasn't until the man walked a foot in front of him that Xia Han sounded what Elder Qingyin had said, the state lord who was going to take office this time... Lee Hyun Gi.
To be able to do so freely in the state mansion must be!
Xia Han also arched his hand and said with a smile: "Lord, you are much younger than I imagined!"
The man in front of him was not confused, and Xia Han began to think that the state lord would be an old man.
Hearing this, Li Xuanji laughed and said: "The immortal family is really good at laughing, I don't know if the immortal family has a name?"
As he spoke, Li Xuanji looked at Wan Fang and Xiaobai behind Xia Han!
Immortals, immortals, this seems to be another title they have for cultivators, because it is just a title, Xia Han didn't care, just nodded, and said:
"Disciple of the Academy of All Souls... Summer cold!"
Immediately after, Wan Fang behind him also introduced: "Disciples of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy... Wanfang!"
After the two of them had been introduced, Li Xuanji looked at Xiaobai, who was holding Xiaohuang in his arms, but at this moment, she didn't seem to know how to introduce herself, and her expression was a little strange.
Seeing this, Xia Han hurriedly said, "My junior sister... Xiaobai!"
Let's talk!
Li Xuanji stepped out of a position, made a gesture of please with one hand, and said, "Immortals, please inside!"
......
In a hall in the Governor's Palace!
Mei Ling, Zhuo Wenqing, Zhong Ju, and Gu Feng were already seated, and there was no communication between them.
The next moment,
Xia Han and the three entered the hall under the leadership of Li Xuanji, while Qiu Ling said goodbye and returned home after saluting Li Xuanji.
Mei Ling got up, looked at Xia Han and smiled charmingly, and said:
"Senior brother, meet again!"
The rest of the people sat and raised their hands politely with Xia Han and Wan Fang, even if they had said hello.
And Xia Han and Wan Fang also raised their hands in return!
However, for that Mei Ling's enthusiasm, Xia Han was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said:
"Senior sister, meet again!"
Xia Han didn't notice that at this moment, Xiaobai's expression behind him was a little abnormal, and he didn't seem to like Mei Ling very much.
"Immortals, please take a seat!" Li Xuanji interrupted with a smile.
Soon, everyone was seated one after another! As the master, Li Xuanji was the first seat, and Xia Han and everyone sat separately on both sides.
"Lord Governor, I've seen it, if it's okay, I'll leave first!"
After that, everyone looked at Li Xuanji, who was in the first seat, obviously a little curious, he made it so grand, was it just to see each other?
Xia Han was naturally a little curious, after all, he could see the worry in Li Xuanji's eyes clearly, and he couldn't say that Li Xuanji's purpose this time was to worry about it again.
"Hahaha, the immortal family is fast!" Li Xuanji was not angry at Gu Feng's somewhat offensive words, and after laughing, his face was solemn, and he said:
"I am not satisfied with all the immortals, today this king does have something important to ask for......"
"Have you gotten to the point?" Xia Han chuckled!
As he spoke, Li Xuanji paused for a moment before he said again:
"Recently, something strange has happened in my Luminous State, and every once in a while there will be an empty city. ”
"Empty City?" Zhong Ju said with a puzzled expression!
Perhaps knowing this question, Li Xuanji clenched his fists and said with a cold face:
"Probably a dead city would be more appropriate, every once in a while, a city disappears! and all overnight. ”
"At first, it was just a few small remote towns, only a few hundred people, and then it intensified, 3,000 people, 5,000 people, until four days ago, the first 10,000-person city appeared, and all disappeared overnight. ”
"Didn't the city lord think of sending troops to investigate the truth?" a slightly angry voice came out of Xiao Bai's mouth.
Hearing this, Mei Ling and the others all looked at Xiaobai, obviously unfamiliar with her!
This time, Xia Han didn't stop Xiaobai's voice, after all, he was also curious about it, as the lord of a state, there would naturally be no shortage of soldiers and horses.
"The immortal family has misunderstood," Li Xuanji smiled bitterly and said:
"When the dead city appeared for the first time, the king ordered the garrisons of the surrounding cities to go and inspect it, but no result came of it. ”
"Later, every time it was like this, and gradually the king had no better way but to strengthen the defenses of the cities, but it was useless. ”
"So far, a total of five cities have been damaged, 20,000 people, and the soldiers and horses guarding the city plus the soldiers and horses sent by Qingtian City are a total of 5,000, and none of them have been spared. As he spoke, Li Xuanji's face had deep self-blame.
After that, everyone in the hall fell silent for a moment!
The self-blame on Li Xuanji's face, Xia Han could see it clearly, it didn't look like he was pretending!
After all, the sudden disappearance of 25,000 people, not knowing life and death, as the state lord, he naturally felt that it was difficult to escape the blame.
"Senior brother, what do you think?" In this way, Xia Han asked Wan Fang who was sitting next to him in a low voice!
Wan Fang didn't answer directly, but just motioned to Xia Han to pay attention to the changes in the expressions of the other people in the field.
Xia Han glanced at the situation in the field.
Li Xuanji was looking at everyone with a look of self-reproach, Mei Ling was playing with the objects in his hands indifferently, and Zhuo Wenqing was sitting quietly without other expressions.
Gu Feng was still expressionless, Zhong Ju frowned, as if he was thinking about something!
This silent atmosphere didn't last long, Gu Feng got up and said calmly: "The state lord doesn't know, we can't meddle in worldly affairs, right?"
Hearing this, Li Xuanji shook his head helplessly and said:
"In this way, then you won't bother the immortals!"
As the lord of the state, he naturally knew about this iron law, and someone violated this rule ten years ago, so the final result... It's miserable!
Li Xuanji is just holding the mentality of giving it a try today, after all, as Gu Feng said, this is always a secular thing.
