Chapter Twenty-Five: Runaway Plot Progress

Since the city lord was killed and the Seven Star Alliance besieged Qianzhuang, the third big news happened.

The hundreds of level 50 guards left behind in the City Lord's Mansion ran wildly throughout the city, stirring up the already chaotic wind and falling city chickens and dogs, and the guards suddenly made such a big move, which frightened the people of the Seven Star Alliance, and they all thought that the system had come to settle accounts after the autumn.

But they soon discovered that the guards seemed to be outflanking someone, and they were running around the city in a wave of east and west. It didn't take long for some sharp-eyed players to spot Mo Qianying scurrying around with Flying Shadow Claws on the rooftop, and in view of his arrogant behavior in provoking one of the leaders of the Seven Star Alliance in the morning, all the players here remembered him, so it didn't take long for the video of him running away to detonate the forum again.

Due to the extremely thin wires of the Flying Shadow Claw, under the cover of the night, Mo Qianying's strange skills made everyone puzzled, after all, with the player's current attribute level, he couldn't even run faster, let alone fly across the entire street to the roof of the opposite house in an instant.

Thinking of the fact that the broken army was inexplicably caught by him during the day, some people speculated whether it was some kind of grasping props, but this most correct answer was the fastest to be rejected, because soon some people took the current most common grabbing props flying claws as an example, not to mention that the current grabbing props are extremely laborious to cast, and the speed of recovery alone is impossible to achieve as fast as Mo Qianying.

So the topic instantly shifted to skills, and for a while, all the great gods on the forum pointed out the country, and they all offered their own game experiences to support their claims, such as once seeing a certain NPC flying away in the air, which is obviously some kind of profound light skill; Another example is that a certain NPC has a kung fu of picking up things in the air, and snatching chastity from thousands of troops is like picking up things.

As the protagonist of the incident, Mo Qianying of course didn't know anything about this, he was chased by the guards all over the city, and he didn't even have a chance to stop to catch his breath, let alone find the right direction to escape to the inn. Now he just saw that there was a gap over there and there were no arrows on the other side and ran that way, ignoring whether the direction was right or not.

However, his struggle to escape soon took effect, as he kept running on the rooftops, and the guards below were constantly separated through the streets, and gradually only a dozen or so people were left behind him, and with his constant movement, the originally dense number of arrows also seemed to be scattered.

Just when Mo Qianying's tense nerves were about to reach the limit, a scream resounded through the sky rose from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and then a huge firework exploded in the air, like a muffled thunder that attracted the attention of the entire city.

"It's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! The Castle Lord's Treasury is lost! Hurry back to the rescue! ”

The captain of the dozen or so guards who were still chasing behind him shouted, and instantly abandoned Mo Qianying and turned around and ran in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Mo Qianying stuck her head out from behind a cornice, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that the guards had really left.

That firework was obviously a sign of Hana Wansakura's success, and she had said that she would leave Wind Fall City directly after she got it, and it was obvious that what she had in her hands was extremely important. But these are not my concerns, now that the task has been completed, then the next step is to go back to the shopkeeper to receive the reward.

Dragging his slightly tired body, Mo Qianying found the right direction and ran towards the inn. In a short time, he climbed onto the roof of the inn and slipped down the eaves into the backyard.

"Shopkeeper? Are you there? Mo Qianying whispered against the window.

After a while, a crack opened in the back door, and a figure flashed inside.

"It's you! Come on in! The shopkeeper opened the back door and pulled Mo Qianying into the inn.

After Mo Qianying entered, he found that the inn was in a mess, the tables and benches were all in pieces, and there were still many traces of axes and chisels on the pillars.

"Has anyone been here?" Mo Qianying frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded, swept away the debris on the ground, found two stools that were still intact and put them in front of the two, motioned for Mo Qianying to sit down, and said slowly: "It's Old Man Lin, and our hostile forces have discovered his whereabouts and Hua Wanying, just when you went to the City Lord's Mansion, Old Man Lin was chased here and fought." ”

"What about Old Man Lin?" Mo Qianying couldn't help but ask, and subconsciously looked around.

"He's gone, I'll leave at night." The shopkeeper took out a yellowed piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Mo Qianying, "This is the reward I said I would give you before, the title deed of the inn, from now on it will be yours." ”

Mo Qianying didn't rush to answer, but stared at him with a strange gaze without saying a word.

The shopkeeper seemed to understand what he meant, and he sneered and asked, "Actually, why do you have to know about the city lord?" ”

"I'm looking for the man who killed him." Mo Qianying sighed, "So I have to gather some information that I can use to speculate on what they will do next." How? Is there any particular reason why you can't say it? ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded, "The identity of the city lord involves some secrets of our organization, but if you want to track down the three people who killed him, I can give you a hint." ”

Mo Qianying's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward to wait for his next words.

The shopkeeper cleared his throat and said, "Their killing of the city lord must be related to a bloody case more than ten years ago, you are a disciple of the Tang Sect, I believe you have heard of this incident, this bloody case is the Qinglong Town bloody case seventeen years ago." ”

Mo Qianying didn't react a little, and immediately raised his hand to interrupt his words and asked, "I know about the Qinglong Town Bloody Case, but isn't this a conspiracy against the previous head of the Tang Sect?" What is the matter with the city lord of the city? ”

The shopkeeper paused, and said in a deep voice: "Because the city lord of Fengtui City participated in the massacre of Qinglong Town at that time, the world thought that it was the Great Grandmaster of the Tang Sect who killed the people of Qinglong Town, but in fact, when the head of the Tang Sect and the Great Grandmaster were besieged, they carried out another plan, intending to blame the Tang Sect for this. ”

Mo Qianying learned the truth of Qinglong Town through the mission of the Great Grandmaster, but he was not involved in some of the plots behind it at all, so after he got the position of the Great Grandmaster, he did not carry out the plot of the head of the Tang Sect. The shopkeeper's words undoubtedly opened another clue to this plot, and Mo Qianying instantly realized that the task that Lin Yan was carrying out was obviously under the same background as the task of the Grand Master of the Tang Sect, and there was even overlap in some places.

"How do you know all this?" Mo Qianying asked curiously.

The shopkeeper smiled, took out the Peacock Feather Fragment that he had given to Mo Qianying before, and said, "I said that I saved a disciple of the Tang Sect back then, and he was hunted down and killed at that time, and I was afraid that no one would know these secrets after his death, so let me help him pass on the words." Later, I inquired, and the people who were chasing him had already been killed by him, and the traitors of the Tang Sect did not know that he happened to appear in Qinglong Town at that time, including the head of the Tang Sect and the Great Grandmaster at that time. ”

"What do you mean...... There's a good chance he's still in the Tang Gate? Mo Qianying suddenly came to his senses, and a person flashed in his mind, and he immediately asked, "Could it be that you are talking about ......?"

"You just need to know." The shopkeeper smiled, stuffed the title deed and the Peacock Feather fragment into his hand, stood up and said, "I'm leaving, if there is fate, I believe we will meet in the future." ”

A system prompt sounded in his ears, and the title deed and Peacock Feather fragments appeared in his backpack bar. Then a reminder of the character's upgrade sounded.

Mo Qianying opened the status interface, took a look, and found that he had jumped directly to level 20.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, the experience reward for cross-level tasks was many, except for the reduction in income caused by too many level crossings, he still relied on the experience he received to upgrade 10 levels in a row. You must know that the group of talents who are at the top of the current level list are only level 15, if it weren't for Mo Qianying's lack of system monitoring and not appearing on it, it would have caused another round of war of words.

As soon as the excitement passed, Mo Qianying immediately remembered something more important, and hurriedly chased after him and showed the Flying Shadow Claw in his hand, saying, "Old Man Lin said that this thing should be returned to him, but he is not here now, what should I do with it?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the Flying Shadow Claw, then looked at Mo Qianying with meaningful eyes, and smiled indifferently: "This thing should disappear after the mission is over." After speaking, in Mo Qianying's surprised gaze, he opened the door and walked out.

Mo Qianying was a little distracted, he recalled what the shopkeeper had just said, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Is this some kind of warning? So you've been targeted by the system?

Mo Qianying sat in the messy inn until Dongfang turned slightly white and the bustling voices of people gradually came from outside the door, and he came back to his senses.

After experiencing the strange encounter of resurrection from the dead, Mo Qianying also saw a lot of things, so for the strange performance of the shopkeeper at the end, there were some things that he didn't think about anymore.

Now that he has learned that Lin Yan's plot will overlap with the plot of the Grand Master to a certain extent, he must not be able to throw this task aside. Originally, he planned to wait until he was at a higher level, at least to find a few core members of the Kowloon Society before making plans, but now it seems that he has no time to wait any longer.

It's just that in this way, this sect plot that was originally not accessible until level 60 was opened, I'm afraid it will have to be opened a lot earlier. Mo Qianying estimated his current ability, combined with the experience of the plot in his previous life, and sadly found that he could only go back to the Tang Gate to trigger the pre-task.

"It seems that this time I will go back and go to level up honestly." Mo Qianying muttered and shook her head helplessly.

In the past, what he hated the most was leveling, so at first he wanted to take the route of a life player, but after that, the situation was pressing, so he chose another path, and then stepped up to the peak of force.

However, this kind of thing is not a difficult thing for Mo Qianying now, and he has several plans in his mind at the moment when he plans to level up. But Mo Qianying is still relatively disdainful of the boring upgrade method of farming monsters in the wild, for no other reason, one of the few tasks he is carrying now will come with a huge amount of experience points.

Mo Qianying summoned the taskbar and locked the Black Dragon Sect's quest.

"Now that Lin Yan has started to skip the level to challenge the task, there's no reason why I shouldn't do something!" Mo Qianying smiled, as if talking to herself, and as if she was deliberately saying it to someone.

Mo Qianying glanced at the silent surroundings, then opened the door and walked out.
