Chapter 17: Seven-Star Elders
Chatting and chatting, they had already reached the city gate.
The west of the city is the territory of the Jia family, and of course Tianlan and they will not go from here. They walked through the east gate, the farthest gate from Jia's house, but good luck did not favor them.
From afar, they saw a group of people walking back indignantly, cursing as they went. These are people who are ready to go out of town early in the morning to do business. And at this moment, they are all dragging the trading objects and scolding, as if they have suffered a big loss.
"This old man, may I ask what happened?" Tianlan asked one of the old men.
The old man complained: "I don't know what happened, today the four city gates are sealed, and only let in and not out." My family has been preparing for this business since half a month ago, and I told the buyer that it would be delivered today, but I didn't expect the city lord to draw ...... Suddenly, he gave such an order on the spot! It's a big loss, it's a big loss......" He originally wanted to scold for a convulsion, but he was worried about the large number of people around him, so he had to change his words temporarily, but his mouth kept thinking about it, and he knew that it was not a good word.
Ye Yi said indignantly: "What's the matter? I can't go out of the city! What kind of rules is this?"
Tianlan gently pulled Ye Yi's sleeve and shook his head, signaling him not to be impulsive. There are many guards densely planted on the city walls, and it is estimated that the other gates are similar. He knew very well that this order was given by the Jia family yesterday. Forbidding everyone to go out of the city, even the road of disguise is blocked, it is very thoughtful, such a big deal.
But why not just come and arrest them, but trap them for a day, what the hell is the conspiracy.
The three of them hid not far from the city gate to discuss. Xiaotang said: "This is clearly not letting us out of the city." This Jia family's strength is really small, don't we just go to his house for a little walk, as for pulling the city lord into the water?"
Tianlan pondered for a while and said, "They must have some plan that needs to be implemented until tomorrow, so they want to trap us for a day...... What will it be in one day?" he thought for a moment with his eyes closed, thinking about all the possibilities.
What scruples does the Jia family have? Although a family has great strength, it has too many constraints, and it does things in a forward-looking manner and takes into account the interests of the family. If you say that, they will most likely not take it upon themselves. If you can find someone to do it for you...... And in a day, to say who they can find......
These thoughts flashed through him like lightning and flint, and after only a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "This is a day's journey from the capital, should it be ...... They want to ask someone from the Warlock Hall headquarters to come over......"
Xiaotang frowned and said, "No...... The people of the Warlock Hall should have no reason to do anything to us. ”
Tianlan said: "It's hard to say, if they really act like this, they must rely on something." If Father Jia heard this, his jaw would definitely fall to the ground in surprise. From such a small amount of information, he could almost guess their plan, and this wisdom was far more surprising than his strength.
Ye Yi asked, "Wait, wait...... Warlock Hall?
Xiaotang frowned, and was not in the mood to explain too much, and said: "It is a huge force covering the whole continent, and the relationship behind it is complicated, and it has a relationship with various forces. But we have no grievances with the guild, and I really can't imagine why the guild would send someone here. ”
Tianlan sighed and said, "This has nothing to do with grievances, as long as they make up a random reason for the people from the guild hall to dispatch, they can stay out of the matter and throw the trouble to the guild hall." And we can't afford to mess with the behemoth of the guild hall. We can't wait, whether that's the case or not, we must get out of town now!"
When Ye Yi heard that there was a fight to fight, he immediately became excited, and said, "Okay! Do you want to break through? Is it to break the door or climb over the wall?"
Tianlan took the lead and walked towards the city gate, and said coldly: "Break the door!"
Ye Yi smiled, he liked to do this, rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the rusty sword, and was full of confidence. Xiaotang also took out the long sword from the storage ring, with a serious expression.
As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with change. They were about to attack the city gate, but the city gate actually took the initiative to open.
The gates were wide open, not to send them out of the city, but to welcome a man who entered the city.
Two people walked in slowly from outside the city. The one in front was Deng Qing, and he was nodding his head to show the way to the person behind. The man in the back, dressed in a black robe, blocked his face and slowly followed.
Although Deng Qing is not a decent gentleman, he still has the arrogance of a warlock. Even in the face of his master, he showed respect and respect at best. But he grovels to this black-robed man, what is the origin of this person?
As soon as Deng Qing entered the city, he saw the three of Tianlan and was slightly stunned, it was really a narrow road. He said respectfully to the black-robed man: "My lord, these are the few people, and the young man in white is it! If they escape, and then use demon magic on the people in the city, it will cause endless harm!"
Tianlan's eyes froze, he couldn't see through the strength of the black-robed man. If the other party either has a secret treasure of hidden cultivation, his strength will far surpass that of Tianlan.
Originally, Deng Qing was determined to return to the city so quickly, but last night he went out of the city overnight and wanted to ask for help in the capital. Unexpectedly, I met a black-robed man halfway through, claiming to be an elder of the Warlock Hall. To be able to be an elder-level character, at least the strong strength of the seven stars is required. Deng Qing couldn't see the strength of this black-robed man, but he felt that this person was much more powerful than that wind warlock, so he told him the story he had made up and asked him for help. The man in black was also about to pass by Lingxiao City, and after listening to it, he hesitated for a while and agreed.
The black-robed man glared at Deng Qing coldly, and the latter's whole body stiffened, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing. How could he order such a character, if he made people unhappy, it was possible to kill him on the spot. At that moment, he didn't say much, and hid far away.
Ye Yi was not happy when he heard this, and said loudly: "What is the 'endless harm', I think your Jia family is the one who has caused endless harm! When did we cast a demon spell on the people? Which eye did you see?"
Since Deng Qing had already lied, he simply said confidently: "You still want to be cunning! You brutalized the people in the city, and our Jia family planned to get rid of you at the request of the people, but we didn't want to be injured by you. You have a grudge and come to Jia's house to make trouble and destroy my home, God will not tolerate it!"
Ye Yi was so angry that his face turned red, and said: "How can this be reasonable! You are talking about it and reversing black and white! Obviously, you are bullying the weak! Damn, I will beat you so that even your parents don't recognize you!"
Deng Qing pretended to shrink his neck, and said pitifully: "My lord, you see, they are so cruel, you have to uphold justice!" He is over half a hundred years old and would be frightened by a teenager?
"You-" But Ye Yi was put on a stand by him, so angry that he almost went crazy.
"Ye Yi, be careful, don't act rashly. Tianlan said in a deep voice. He felt a great deal of pressure from the black-robed man, as if he would be attacked violently by the other party as long as they made a move. He stood there, like an immovable stone pillar, with the smell of danger coming from his body.
The black-robed man was covered under the black-robed body, and he couldn't see his expression. But Tianlan could feel that he was also looking at him, and at a glance, it seemed to see him through! In Tianlan's eyes, the figure of the black-robed man inexplicably became incomparably huge, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, and like a towering mountain, which made people feel a sense of submission.
Mental coercion?!
Tianlan's pupils shrank, and the black-robed man actually wanted to use his powerful spiritual power to directly succumb to him. It's really overbearing!
Mental power is based on talent, and there will be a certain increase as the strength increases. Spiritual power is very important to warlocks, and there is no method of cultivation, so in the warlock field, the strong will often show their strength in the form of spiritual coercion, while the weak will involuntarily have a sense of awe for the strong.
It's just that this trick doesn't seem to work for Tianlan.
Tianlan's face was expressionless, and his eyebrows quietly released a colorless and invisible spiritual power, keeping out the spiritual power of the black-robed man, no matter how the black-robed man put pressure, Tianlan's spiritual power could always block it, and it seemed endless.
The black-robed man sighed softly. This young man obviously only has a four- or five-star cultivation, so why can he remain unmoved under the spiritual pressure of the seven-star? Could it be that his spiritual power at the five-star level has already surpassed the seven-star spiritual power of others? This situation should not happen!
"Young man, who are you?" The black-robed man's voice was old, gloomy, and hoarse, like an old man who had been sick for a long time.
Tianlan didn't reply, just looked at him quietly.
"Are you a five-star wind warlock?" the black-robed man asked. Although it is a question, there is not much questioning tone, as if it is a positive fact.
“............”
"Is your real age?"
“............”
"Last question, did you use the Dark Mystic Method?"
Tianlan was shocked in his heart, but his expression was as usual, and he still kept silent.
The black-robed man said without a word: "I know if you don't speak, because you have a faint dark aura on you. He wanted to make sure that if the boy really used the Dark Secret Technique, he, as the elder of the guild hall, would have to kill him on the spot. But if not......
