The sun is still shining in the sky, and the time of day and night doesn't seem to be anything worth noting for busy players. However, just beneath this seemingly calm surface, there have been stormy waves.

Due to the player's death, it will take three days before you can log back into the game. And the players of the Russian Empire in the North and South Boundary Rivers are almost all players of interstellar immigrants, so it is almost impossible to complete the exchange of information offline.

Therefore, on the second day after the Russian Empire lost contact with the North and South Boundary River, it directly caused a shock in the entire game world. However, HX, as a neighboring country, has never received any news. And when the Russian Empire sent an army to explore the origin of the matter, and HX was ready to investigate what happened, Lao Jiu went to the HX imperial capital alone!

On June 16 of the eighth year of the game, it seemed that the summer solstice would be in a few days, and Lao Jiu personally visited the HX Empire that night. In the Kyoto Imperial City of HX, Lao Jiu, dressed in white, appeared silently in the square of the Imperial City.

The crowd of people coming and going seemed to be oblivious to the sudden appearance of Lao Jiu. In the middle of the night, the Imperial City of Kyoto is still lit up, just like daytime. After Lao Jiu passed through the bustling crowd, he went straight to the palace hall.

"Stop! It is strictly forbidden to enter the palace! When Lao Jiu just arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by two guards. Looking at their frowning appearances, it was obvious that they felt that Lao Jiu was very familiar, but he was not sure for a while.

"Help spread a message, just say that the ninth child of the Loose Empire is coming to visit!" With his hands behind his back, Lao Jiu glanced at the two people in front of him, and then said calmly.

"Uh...... Syllable! The two were stunned for a moment, and then immediately saluted Lao Jiu, and this salute can be regarded as respect for Lao Jiu.

"Please wait!" One of them spoke, and began to pass on the message quickly. It didn't take long for Lao Jiu to see a group of mermaids rushing out and rushing towards Lao Jiu.

"Haha...... I have heard of your old nine's name for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to meet you, so I came to the door in person today, so that the entire palace will shine! Before the sound came, as the words fell, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the palace gate quickly.

"You are?" Lao Jiu frowned, looking at this middle-aged man he didn't know, and then a few people walked out of the palace gate again, which made Lao Jiu's brows furrow even tighter, because among these people, Lao Jiu only knew one Zuoqiu Wuyi.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mo Chengyun, chairman of the military and committee stationed in Kyoto, who has just taken office this year." At this time, Zuoqiu Wuyi hurriedly ran up and introduced.

"Hehe, I've heard about you kid for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to see each other!" Mo Chengyun smiled very kindly, and then stretched out his hand.

"Nine Heavens!" Lao Jiu symbolically shook his hand, and then asked directly, "What about Ye Zhijun?" ”

"Lao Ye, due to work needs, he was temporarily transferred to Ulan City and is responsible for everything over there." Zuoqiu Wuyi said on the side, "This is Tang Shijie, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs in Kyoto, and Minister Tang is currently in charge of foreign affairs. ”

"Tang Shijie, I have admired your old nine names for a long time, today is the first time we have met, and we will rely on you for more cooperation in the future!" Under Zuoqiu's meaningless introduction, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old politely stretched out his hand and said to Lao Jiu.

"I'm just a small person in the Nine Heavens, and I should rely on you in the future." Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and then said with a smile. Looking at the new faces in front of him, as well as Zuoqiu's meaningless introduction, Lao Jiu understood one thing, that is, the entire upper level of HX has undergone a serious rectification.

It seems that in less than half a year, not only has there been a major change in the Empire, but even the entire HX is surging! After greeting everyone at the door, under the leadership of Zuoqiu Wuyi, they began to walk towards the interior of the palace.

casually perceiving the situation in the entire palace, Lao Jiu couldn't help frowning, but then he pretended not to know anything, and then followed everyone lightly. Because in Lao Jiu's view, all calculations are vain in the face of absolute strength.

"Guards!" Not long after entering the palace, Mo Chengyun shouted very casually to the surroundings, and then a young man jumped out of the shadows and saluted him.

"This is the most honored guest of the empire, you take him to the Welcome Pavilion to rest first, remember, don't slack off!" After Mo Chengyun finished giving instructions to the guards very seriously, he turned to Lao Jiudao again, "I'm really sorry, you also know that some things are not up to me alone, so I need to hold an impromptu meeting, so I can only ask you to wait for a while." ”

"It seems that you already know what I am here for, so I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible." Lao Jiu said very calmly, "By the way, my time is very tight, and I won't wait too long." ”

After Lao Jiu finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to everyone anymore, but glanced at the guards around him meaningfully, and then followed him to another corridor. After walking through a corridor for a while, a plaza appears in front of you, and what appears to be on the edge of the square is the so-called Welcome Pavilion.

"Nine Heavens? The number one player in the game? I wonder how strong you are now? At this moment, the guard who led the way suddenly turned around, and then looked at Lao Jiu with interest and said.

"What? Would you like to try it? A wicked smile hung on the corner of Lao Jiu's mouth, and he looked at the guard in front of him very calmly and said, "But I'm afraid that there are some consequences that you won't be able to afford!" ”

"I just wanted to challenge the first person in the game and see how big the gap is between us, that's all!" The guard spread his hands out, then shrugged his shoulders and said. In fact, this so-called guard is just a cover for his identity, because Lao Jiu can clearly perceive that the other party's level seems to have reached level ninety-seven, and there is more than one artifact on his body.

Faced with Mo Chengyun's arrangement, Lao Jiu could only do his bidding, because he just needed a good excuse to achieve his goal. And he also wants to see what HX really plans, or rather, what has happened to HX in the past six months.

"Mo Farewell, now I officially challenge you, I just don't know if you can block my parting hook!" The young guard looked at Lao Jiu, then took out a pair of strange hook-shaped weapons, and then enveloped Lao Jiu with an aura all over his body, as if he would attack at any moment.

"If you dare to do it, I promise you'll regret it!" Lao Jiu didn't have any expression on his face, he stared at Mo Bie's eyes, and said very calmly.

"Really?" At this time, a cruel sneer hung on the corner of Mo Beili's mouth, and then the parting hook in his hand attacked directly towards Lao Jiu at a very strange angle. Judging from his all-out shots, he didn't just want to test Lao Jiu's true strength, but also seemed to want to get rid of Lao Jiu.

In Lao Jiu's perception, at this time, around the square, there were countless secret sentinels monitoring all this. Lao Jiu could even feel that in a certain secret passage, there were several people who were also secretly observing.

"Since you want to know where my confidence comes from, then you should keep your eyes open and look at it!" As Lao Jiu's words fell, Mo Beili left the double hook in his hand, and had already hooked Lao Jiu's chest and back one after the other.

At this time, Mo Bieli crossed his hands, as if as long as he used one force in his hand, Lao Jiu would be divided into several pieces by the parting hook. At this time, Lao Jiu could clearly see disdain and ridicule in Mo Bieli's eyes.

But the next moment, endless fear appeared in Mo Bieli's eyes. Because at this time, the parting hook in his hand couldn't move forward even a little when he was three inches away from Lao Jiu's skin. And this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that a pen appeared in his eyes at some point.

A golden engraved pen was constantly magnifying in front of his eyes at this moment, and at this moment, time seemed to slow down millions of times. Mo Bieli looked at him with fear, and the golden engraved pen slowly pierced his forehead.

"Poof!" Lao Jiu doesn't make a move, and a shot is a thunderous blow. And in the eyes of the secret observers, it seems that Mo Bie's parting hook is not moving when it is attached to Lao Jiu. And Lao Jiu seemed to have been standing like that, and at this time, Mo Farewell slowly fell backwards.

Because Lao Jiu's speed is too fast, in the eyes of everyone, Lao Jiu seems to have done nothing. However, the fine hole on Mo Bie's forehead is enough to show that Lao Jiu made a move just now, but the speed was so fast that everyone couldn't see how he made it.

Just when Lao Jiu was about to collect everything from Mo Bieli and drop a few good things, a large amount of black mist appeared on Mo Bieli's body. Then a cold aura permeated, making Lao Jiu feel uncomfortable.

As the black mist gradually enveloped Mo Bieli, and then drifted back, this seemed to Lao Jiu like an evil art. Gradually, the black fog began to dissipate, and Mo Bieli walked out of it with an ugly face.

"Huh? What kind of artifact are you? Can it be resurrected on the spot? Lao Jiu looked at Mo Bieli with a look of surprise, you must know that the resurrection artifact is almost the most expensive artifact in the game, and often one appears, which will cause a bloody storm.

"Do you think I'm going to tell you?" Mo Bieli said with an ugly face.

"Oh...... Looks like I need to figure it out for myself! Lao Jiu deliberately let out a sigh, and then walked forward, which made Mo Bieli's face change greatly.

"This is the Soul Restoration Pearl, which comes from a mining cave abyss in the Sunset Empire, which is formed by the souls of tens of millions of people you killed in the pit at the beginning, combined with the special terrain of the local area." Mo Bieli obviously had a psychological shadow on Lao Jiu, and when he saw that Lao Jiu was about to make a move, he blurted out directly.

"Huh? Did I make this thing? So, this thing should be mine? Then you should pay me back! Lao Jiu was shocked, and then looked at Mo Bieli with interest and said.
