Shen Shi.

The south gate of the capital.

Under the leadership of the Ruthless Elder, the Sword Sect entered the capital in a mighty manner.

Listening to the bustling shouting outside, Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to roll up the curtain of the car, looking at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, the roads extending in all directions, and the carriages flowing endlessly, the traffic was busy, so it was not lively.

The ground is paved with bluestone granite bricks, which are extremely flat, and you can't feel it shaking when sitting in the carriage.

The streets are lined with dazzling shops.

At the entrance of those shops, the flow of customers is troubled, coming and going, and there is an endless stream.

Ling Xiaoyuan's eyes widened, completely shocked by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The capital is prosperous!"

Compared with a small Wumeng City, I don't know how many times more prosperous, no wonder it can become the capital of Canglong Kingdom.

That's when —

There were people on both sides of the street, and these sword sect people whispered.

"Wow, all of them are serving in white yarn, they should be disciples of the Ruthless Sword Sect!"

"Well, they should have come to participate in the Battle of the Glory of the Four Universities!"

"By the way, I heard that the Ruthless Sword sent out a demon called... Lingxiao!"

"I've also heard that he defeated Mo E in the middle of the Yangdan Realm!"

"Cut, ignorant child, what is Yangdan Realm?" saw a few people discussing, and a young man in a black robe next to him said disdainfully.

Several people suddenly looked angry, wanting to see which thing that didn't know whether they knew life or death dared to take the words of themselves and others, and if they didn't beat him up, they wouldn't believe in evil!

However, when they turned around, they saw the young man dressed as a warrior, and instantly closed his mouth and left in a hurry.

"Humph!"

The black-robed young man snorted coldly and turned away.

Although there was a prosperous scene in front of them, the people of the Sword Sect did not relax in the slightest.

It is this Longtan Tiger's Den, so I have to fight for twelve points.

"Zilan, you went to the Imperial City guards to ask if they had entered the Imperial City, and if you get the news, go to the Shengde Teahouse!"

The Ruthless Elder commanded towards Zilan.

"Yes, Master!"

Zilan nodded in agreement, then quickened her pace and walked forward.

In less than half an hour, under the leadership of the ruthless elder, the group stopped at the door of the Shengde Teahouse.

This Shengde teahouse is the property of the Sword Sect and the contact point stationed in the capital.

"Ling Xiao, get out of the car and rest for a while!"

The Heartless Elder turned back and shouted into the carriage.

"Hmm!"

Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, got out of the carriage, jumped lightly, and jumped out of the carriage.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the Heartless Elder immediately led more than 20 people into the Shengde Teahouse.

"Shopkeeper Wu, it's been good lately!"

Upon entering, the Heartless Elder shouted towards the counter with a smile.

"Oops... Rare guest! Fast... Upstairs... Please!"

Inside the counter, a woman in her forties raised her eyes and saw the Heartless Elder, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly ran over and said with a smile.

"Hehe... Shopkeeper Wu, you're welcome!"

The Ruthless Elder arched his hand towards the shopkeeper Wu.

"What are you talking about! We are doing business, and all of us are customers...!"

Shopkeeper Wu said with a chuckle, and at the same time led the way in front, leading the way with the Ruthless Elder and other disciples towards the private room on the second floor.

Second floor.

Shopkeeper Wu vacated a few private rooms, knowing that after coming to the capital from the Sword Sect, he must have been hungry after a bumpy morning.

She immediately asked more than 20 Sword Sect disciples to go in to rest, and at the same time called Xiao Er, hurry up to serve tea and prepare some snacks.

After arranging everything, Shopkeeper Wu whispered a few words in the ear of the Ruthless Elder, and then walked towards another private room with the Ruthless Elder.

Inside the private room.

The ruthless elder informed the shopkeeper Wu of the interception and killing incident on the road.

When Shopkeeper Wu heard this, he was shocked and said in shock.

"What, Great Elder, you mean to be intercepted and killed halfway?"

"Yes, it's still eight men in black. ”

The Heartless Elder nodded slowly.

"Eight men in black, but I haven't heard any news here, who did it?"

Shopkeeper Wu frowned, revealing a look of surprise.

"Shopkeeper Wu, there is an even stranger thing, among the black-clothed people who intercepted and killed us, there were five black-clothed people who actually blew up their heads for some reason, and even I can't feel it, what kind of power did it do?"

Elder Ruthless said with a solemn face.

She also wanted Shopkeeper Wu to help inquire, after all, Shopkeeper Wu had been operating in the capital for many years and had a wide network of contacts, so it was hard to find out some news.

"What?

Shopkeeper Wu listened with horror on his face, and his eyes widened.

"yes, five men in black died. ”

The Ruthless Elder nodded, then sighed and said, "If it weren't for that strange power, I would have been intercepted and killed by the other party." ”

As soon as the words fell, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the shopkeeper Wu, his heartbeat was accelerating, and he instantly felt a trace of fear.

Suddenly, she took a long breath of cold air, patted her panicked chest, and said in amazement: "Oh, it's okay... It's a good thing that the Great Elder and his disciples are safe and sound!"

She did feel extremely lucky, thanks to that strange power, the Great Elder and the Sword Sect disciples had escaped the catastrophe,

But she had never heard of such a strange thing, and if it weren't for the Great Elder seeing it with her own eyes today, she would have thought that there was no strange thing happening in this world.

"Yes, we feel that it is a blessing, if we are killed, we will not be able to participate in the battle of glory this time, and the glory of the Sword Sect will lose face. At that time, the other three universities will ride on the head of the sword faction. ”

The Heartless Elder sighed.

In her heart, she was pondering another thing, this halfway interception must be one of the other three universities, hiding behind the scenes to orchestrate all these things.

But how easy is it to get to the bottom of it?

Even if you rely on the connections of the shopkeeper Wu, you may not be able to find out which institution did it.

I can only wait for them to come to the door again.

However, the strange power and terrifying means couldn't help but make her pay attention to it.

Presumably, that person's strength must be extraordinary.

Besides, the grace of saving lives will be reciprocated by springs.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her cultivation heart to be calm.

"Well, the Great Elder is reasonable. But who is responsible for this strange power?"

Shopkeeper Wu nodded in agreement, but she was puzzled.

"Hey!"

The Ruthless Elder shook his head and sighed bitterly, and then said to Shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper Wu, you may be able to find some clues if you inquire in many ways." ”

"Well, then I'll do what the Great Elder wants!"

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned, and nodded slightly.

"By the way, is there any turmoil in the capital?"

The Ruthless Elder raised his eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Wu and asked.

"Great Elder, everything is calm. But...!"

Shopkeeper Wu said half a word, and his face became heavy.

"Did something happen?"

The Heartless Elder asked, frowning.

"Indeed, the border fortress is in turmoil, and the garrison garrison has already started a war with the army of Xuanyang State. Yesterday, eight hundred miles were urgent, and the emperor of Canglong Kingdom had already convened ministers to discuss the matter, and the follow-up was unknown. ”

Shopkeeper Wu told the truth what he knew.

"Uh, the Xuanyang Kingdom actually dares to go to war, there can't be some conspiracy in this!"

The Ruthless Elder's face was slightly startled, but he felt that things were not simple.

At the beginning of the founding of the Canglong Kingdom, a peace agreement was made with the Xuanyang Kingdom.

If it is a unilateral rebellion of the Xuanyang Kingdom, the twists and turns are a bit unclear.

"Great Elder, I think something is wrong. The Xuanyang Kingdom and the Canglong Kingdom have been friendly for so many years, and they have been at peace with each other, why did the Xuanyang Kingdom army suddenly march to the border fortress?"

Shopkeeper Wu frowned into a black line and said suspiciously.

"I don't know. ”

The Ruthless Elder shook his head and said, then squinted his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

That's when —

"Great Elder, I think that in this battle of glory, the person who wins the glory will be sent to Biansai nine times out of ten. ”

Shopkeeper Wu said casually unintentionally.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the Ruthless Elder's face was stunned, and he suddenly looked at Shopkeeper Wu with wide eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, what did you just say?"

"Ahh

Shopkeeper Wu looked stunned, it seemed that the Ruthless Elder hadn't heard him speak just now!

Suddenly, she recounted again: "I mean, after this battle of glory, the person who seizes the glory will be sent to Biansai nine times out of ten!"
