Pinglan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the overall pattern sits in the north and faces south, the trees on the mountain are lush and green, the wind blows and laughs, and the first half of the night when Pinglan City is still noisy, it is also quite charming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, it was September, the weather was relatively cool, and with the peaceful atmosphere of Pinglan City, many low-level cultivators were also happy to rest here.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the south of the city, and it is brightly lit everywhere, looking like a dazzling night pearl, held in the arms of the three mountains. Suddenly, a faint and imperceptible cold wind rushed into the city lord's mansion, and the lights on the entire mansion swayed, if you look at it from a high place, you can find that this night pearl obviously flickered, of course, the people in the city naturally can't find it.

The hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion. A black shadow suddenly appeared, a tight-fitting black robe with his head tightly wrapped, and his head and face could not be seen from the front, a touch of darkness. The black shadow turned its back, and a thick smell of decay instantly filled the entire hall.

Lei Laohu's whole body trembled violently involuntarily, and he was out of breath under the pressure of a powerful breath, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Boy, meet the deputy envoy!" ”

The black-robed man's aura was restrained, and Lei Laohu instantly felt much more relaxed, "I know about you, you forcibly improve your cultivation to the end of the Dan, although the theory can live for three hundred years, but your secret disease is too deep, I am afraid that you will not live for more than ten years, if you do this beautifully, it is making the adult agree to help you eliminate the dark disease, and you can also improve your cultivation." It's up to you! ”

"Thank you, Lord Vice-Envoy, I will do my best to live up to the love of my lord!" Lei Laohu whispered happily, and after speaking, he attached it to the ear of the black-robed man and whispered a few words.

"Well, that's very good!" The black-robed man turned around and laughed a few times, then turned into a cold wind and disappeared.

Soon after, the city lord's mansion posted a notice, saying that Lei Laohu had important things to do when he went out of the city, and he would not be able to come back within a year, and all the big and small things in the city would be taken care of by his adjutants, and if there was something important, he had to ask the Ye family master and the Li family master to cooperate. For this matter, the people in the city didn't have much to talk about, after all, the civilians didn't ask about official affairs, and the Ye family master and the Li family master naturally knew about this matter, and Lei Laohu had greeted them in advance.

In the next few months, Pinglan City was as usual, after all, the strength of the Ye family master and the Li family master in the eighth layer of the foundation building period was there, and no one dared to make trouble. The Ye family is looking festive, and Ye Chenfeng has also been arranging his wife's fetal rearing and preparing to be a father. Occasionally, he would go out to buy some things, but more often he stayed at home and handed over everything to the Great Elder Ye Qiuru. The Li family also had a lot of rules, and the head of the Li family went into retreat, saying that it would take half a year to get out. Ye Chenfeng's cultivation naturally would not fall, and he was ready to hit the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, he didn't want to be left behind by Li Tian.

Shenwu Continent cultivators were born as ordinary people, and their lifespan was about eighty years, since the beginning of the chaotic era, in order to fight against beasts and nature, people at that time gradually comprehended a set of essence of cultivation, and gradually passed it on. Each layer is a huge gap, the cultivator majored in spiritual power, and spiritual power is all over every corner of nature, but it is not evenly distributed, there are abundant places and places of scarcity. The process of cultivating the truth is naturally the creation of seizing heaven and earth, so every time you enter the layer, you have to go through a long period of cultivation and endure great tests, so that you can make yourself stronger! After the condensation period, it is the foundation building period, and the life span of the breakthrough to the foundation building period will also be extended to 150 years old, and after the foundation building period is the foundation building, the cultivators who reach the foundation period are also slightly smaller, and the life span has skyrocketed to three hundred years old. After Yudan, he will be the Yuan Baby, and he will have a lifespan of 500 years, which can be said to be immortal. Yuan Ying is followed by the Soul Chop, it is said to have a life span of eight hundred years, as for what else is behind, in a small place like Pinglan City, but no one knows, even the Yuan Infant and the Soul Chopping are legendary things for them, so they can be called king here during the Dan period and get everyone's respect! Looking at the entire Pinglan City, the only ones who may be able to achieve the knot in this life are Ye Chenfeng and Li Tianfang!

Ye Chenfeng and Li Tianfang are currently building the eighth layer of the foundation, belonging to the late stage of foundation building, and their strength wants to be, so they can sit on an equal footing, once this balance is broken, they will become a hegemon, and the two of them know the stakes well, Lei Laohu knows it thoroughly, and the people in the city naturally know it.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only three months before Mrs. Ye gave birth, and Ye Chenfeng went to the Medicine God Temple to pray for the safety of Mrs. Ye and her son. This medicine temple is the biggest attraction in Pinglan City, and there are usually a lot of people coming and going. The northern part of the Shenwu Continent is the boundary of the Medicine God Valley, and basically every city here will have a Medicine God Temple, and people worship it to show their gratitude and loyalty to the Medicine God Valley! As for who the Great Power of the Medicine God Valley is, the people here can't say clearly, they only know that their ancestors have respected them for generations, and they should naturally follow suit.

However, on this day, a notice was issued in the city, saying that due to the absence of the city lord, in order to strengthen the order and management of Pinglan City, twenty shadow guards were specially transferred from the royal city to guard the city. The notice was signed by the adjutant and Li Tianfang. The people in the city didn't know what the Shadow Guard was, and the sudden increase in troops made people think that there was some kind of war, and for a while, the pot exploded in the Xianglan Pavilion, and there were many discussions.

When Ye Chenfeng came back from the Medicine God Temple, he saw four guards at the gate of the city from a distance, they were dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, and there were two skulls embroidered on the sleeves of their upper arms on both sides. Ye Chenfeng was very surprised, Ye Qiuru leaned over and asked, "Family Master, what is the origin of this group of people, why did they come to our Pinglan City?" "When he had finished speaking, he had to send someone forward to reprimand.

Ye Chenfeng frowned, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Slow, we don't know where they came from, don't startle the snake, we have to investigate secretly." Later, we will go over and show the pass directly into the city! ”

So a group of more than ten people directly prepared to enter the city, and the four shadow guards did not stop them after reading the pass, so they let Ye Chenfeng and the others pass. After entering the city, Ye Chenfeng saw the notice, and only then did he know their origin for the time being, but he was even more puzzled in his heart: He didn't tell me about such a big thing, but let Li Tianfang know, could it be that I didn't find anyone who worshipped today? No, it can't be so coincidental, there must be something strange in it! Immediately ordered Ye Qiuru and the others to go back to the mansion first, and he hurriedly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion to ask the adjutant to find out!

As soon as the adjutant heard Ye Chenfeng's request to see him, he knew his intention, and directly stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Ye, I'm sorry, today's matter is too rushed, Wang Cheng sent someone over directly, I don't want to be lazy, it's too late to inform Brother Ye, and Brother Ye is not in the city!" ”

As soon as Ye Chenfeng saw the smiling face of the adjutant, he knew that it was perfunctory, and said playfully: "Oh? Don't forget what the city lord said before leaving, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, right? ”

The adjutant's face changed when he heard this, and he didn't retreat, and said: "I really don't know much about this, I don't dare to disobey Wang Cheng's order, if you want to know anything, Brother Ye should go and ask Lord Shadow Guard directly, however, I remind you that Shadow Guard is not as easy to talk as I am!" ”

After Ye Chenfeng heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and secretly said that there must be a secret in it. has been entrenched in Pinglan City for many years, and this has never happened or heard of this before, so there is still this kind of speculation. Ye Chenfeng arched his hand and said to the adjutant: "Since you don't know, then I'll leave first, but if I don't know about it, I can sign it later, even if I don't know, you can help me sign it, otherwise it will not only violate the will of the city lord, but also call me Ye Someone's old face to put it away, and it will be like setting me up!" Don't you say? ”

Although the adjutant felt the-for-tat meaning of these words, he didn't dare to offend Ye Chenfeng too much, and said with a smile: "This matter is that the junior brother is vague, and Brother Ye is right!" ”

Ye Chenfeng was too lazy to stay here, so he took his leave and went back to the Ye Mansion, and immediately convened the elders and elders to discuss the matter in the council hall. Ye Chenfeng said to Ye Qiuru: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Ye Qiuru thought for a long time and said: "I have also heard of this Shadow Guard, I only saw it once when I passed by the palace when I went to the royal city to run a business route ten years ago, but my impression is relatively vague!" ”

Ye Chenfeng touched his chin after hearing this, and continued to ask, "Do you remember what characteristics they have in dressing?" ”

Ye Qiuru squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully: "They will embroider two second quarter moons on the sleeves of their arms!" ”

Ye Chenfeng was shocked: "Are you sure?" ”

Ye Qiuru was stunned by the head of the family for a moment, and only said after a while: "It's true! And they are only stationed around the palace, and the periphery of the royal city is not guarded by them! After Ye Qiuru finished speaking, she suddenly screamed and said in a deep voice: "Ah! Aren't they ......" Ye Chenfeng suddenly laughed wildly: "That's right, they are not shadow guards, when we first entered the city, the four guards had two weird skulls embroidered on the sleeves of their arms, not the second quarter moon, and how could such a high-level guard go to guard the gate of Pinglan City?" If you want to defend it, you will also guard the city lord's mansion! ”

Although Ye Qiuru understood in her heart, she still couldn't believe it: "Then who will send them?" ”

Ye Chenfeng's expression suddenly became extremely serious, he sighed, and his teeth clenched: "Maybe someone else invited me!" ”

Ye Qiuru and the others were surprised, if they couldn't guess something at this time, then they wouldn't be worthy of living for more than a hundred years. "What should we do, master?"

"Wait and see what happens, and send a few brothers around the city to secretly observe their movements! I'd like to see what moths can come out of! ”
