Chapter 16 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Soon night fell! A bright moon rose in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the earth, covering the earth with a layer of silver.
After playing for a day, Dream Without a Trace and Zhao Ruyue came to meet at the agreed place with Zhao Li. As soon as Meng Wuxian arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Li coming towards him, and shouted, "Young City Lord."
Although Meng Wuxian heard that he was used to Zhao Li calling him like this, his face was still full of helplessness. He saluted Zhao Li and said, "Grandpa Li." Although Zhao Li's stubborn temper can't be moved, he still wants this courtesy.
"Grandpa Li" Zhao Ruyue also saluted crisply.
"Well, our little Yue'er has also grown up, and she knows how to salute. I still remember when I was a child, I came to pull my grandfather's beard when I saw it, take pity on my beard!" Zhao Li quipped with a smile on his white beard.
"Grandpa Li, say it again, Yue'er will pull out all your beard now. Zhao Ruyue listened to Zhao Li's jokes, her face was slightly red, this was her naughty embarrassment when she was a child. Then he pretended to be fierce and vicious, and said viciously. But it's a little playful and cute to look at.
"Hahaha, Grandpa Li knows it's wrong, Grandpa Li surrenders!" Zhao Li raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile.
At this time, a small servant who looked like a subordinate walked quickly to this side, and saluted a few people: "Steward Zhao, Meng Gongzi, Miss Zhao, my city lord has prepared a dinner, please come with me." ”
Saying that, lead the way ahead. "Let's go," Zhao Li said. Several people followed.
Soon they came to a lobby, which was already surrounded by wine banquets and crowded with people. And on the main seat sat a middle-aged man in a cyan brocade robe, who was not angry and arrogant, and had the aura of a superior person on his body. At this time, he stood up and made a hearty voice: "Hahaha, it's rare for Steward Zhao to come here, and he prepared a banquet slightly, but Qin didn't entertain him well." When the rest of the people saw this, they also got up.
This person is Qin Haotian, the city lord of Yilan City. is a hero, and it can be said that two-thirds of the credit for the entire Yilan City to have today belongs to him.
"Where, Qin City Lord, this is tormenting Zhao," Zhao Li hurriedly replied. This is a courtesy, a polite word. Zhao Li is also a person who has experienced the baptism of time, of course he will not take it seriously, after all, others are the lords of a city, and it is already very polite to receive them in person. This is because the two cities have been cooperating, otherwise they would like the city lord to receive it in person? That's too much.
Meng Wuxian and Zhao Ruyue also made a salute.
"Hahaha. You don't have to be polite, sit, sit. Several people sat side by side.
"This must be the Dream Traceless Dream Young City Lord, I haven't heard your grandfather Zhao Tian praise you in front of me. When I saw it today, I was really young and promising. Qin Haotian looked at the dream without a trace and praised it.
"Where, where, it's just some doting words from grandpa, and it can't be true. "Dream without a trace modestly responded.
"Okay, don't be arrogant or impatient, the future is immeasurable!" Qin Haotian laughed.
"Dad, what did you call me for?" a voice like a silver bell came, and there was silence around them. Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first. I saw a girl walking out of the bead curtain behind Qin Haotian.
"It's nothing, introduce you to the young talents who know the deserted city. Qin Haotian looked at the girl in front of him and said with some doting.
"Who?"
"Come on. Dad will introduce you to you, the young city lord of the deserted city Dream Without a Trace!" he said, pointing to the dream without a trace on the seat.
Dream Wuxian felt a little familiar when he heard this voice, and looked up. And the girl looked in the direction of Qin Haotian's finger, looking at each other.
"Is that you?" shouted in unison.
"Oh, you know, it's easy to save my father's introduction. Qin Haotian was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.
"Come on, get this bad guy up. I saw the girl shouting with her hands on her hips, and as soon as the voice fell, a team of guards quickly ran in.
"Nonsense, who let you in. All of them will give me a step down" Qin Haotian didn't react at first, and then said a little angrily.
"Yes, City Lord. The guards quickly retreated.
"Dad, this person bullied me during the day today, he robbed me of my things, Dad, you have to be the master of Yue'er. The girl shook Qin Haotian's arm and cried. This girl is Qin Haotian's daughter Qin Yiyue. It's famous in Ylang City, but it's notoriously coquettish.
"Okay, Yue'er, what kind of body is a girl's noisy house. ”
"Dad, who are you helping, obviously he bullied me first. Hmph, if you don't help me, I'll find my mother. He walked away in a rage. Qin Haotian looked at Qin Yiyue's departing back, and shook his head a little helplessly, would he, the father of his own daughter, know the character of his own daughter? Fortunately, his daughter was not bad-hearted and did not cause any big trouble.
"Let everyone laugh, they are all spoiled by me. Come on, come on, I'll toast you all and accompany you. Qin Haotian said to everyone, and drank all the wine in his hand.
And they all drank it all. ”
In this way, the dinner party passed quickly, and nothing else happened except for the little episode of Qin Yiyue in the middle.
Dream Traceless and the group went back to their rooms to rest. Zhao Li just sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea. Before I could take a sip, I saw a dark shadow flash outside the window.
"Who?" Zhao Li shouted, and his figure flashed out like a cheetah and appeared outside the door. I saw a black shadow on the roof in front of me, quickly disappearing into the night. "Hmph!" Looking at the disappearing black shadow, Zhao Li snorted coldly. Without thinking much about it, the figure flickered and quickly disappeared in place, chasing the black shadow.
And Meng Wuxi, who heard the movement, walked out quickly, and just saw the back of Zhao Li's pursuit, and just wanted to follow him to take a look. I only felt that the environment in front of me was on one side, and my body became foggy, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Dream held his breath without a trace, and was secretly on guard. The thumb of his left hand pulled the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and the sword body was full of cold light. At that moment, Yume's ears moved, and something unknown in his perception was coming towards him.
"Sting"
A sound of breaking the air struck from the front of Dream Traceless, and the Wind Sword in Dream Traceless's hand came out of its sheath, and with a flash of silver light, a crimson blade shot straight out. Attack head-on.
"Boom!"
The furious energy swept out, forming a circle of energy ripples. The fog around was blown away quite a bit.
I saw a man in a black robe standing in front of Dream Without a Trace, with a black iron mask on his face. He held a serpentine sword with drops of blood dripping from the tip of the sword. Dream Without a Trace looked at his left shoulder, which was already red with blood.
The other party's blow just now turned out to be so weird, he resisted a wave or a wave did not resist. If he hadn't dodged the fatal blow at the critical moment, he wouldn't have injured his left shoulder now.
"Tut-tut, it's good to be able to block the fatal blow of my sneak attack. No wonder the leader sent me here, at first I thought it was just a fuss to let me, a killer in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm, kill a young man who practiced Qi Eightfold, but now it seems that you are still qualified to die under the sword of my black snake. The man named Black Snake stretched out his scarlet tongue as he spoke, licked the blood on the tip of the sword, took a deep breath, and said with a face full of intoxication: "This is the blood of genius, it is really mellow and delicious, it seems that this trip will not be in vain." ”
Dream Traceless looked at the surrounding fog and the dark sky, and said calmly, "The second-order mist array? There are also killers in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm, you can really look up to my dream without a trace." ”
The second-order formation mages in the Southern Wilderness could count them on one hand, and the second-order formations that were formed were even rarer. A mist array costs 10,000 spirit coins, to say the least, you can imagine how precious it is. This mist array is a trapped array, no matter what happens inside the array, the people outside don't feel it. It can be seen that the other party dares to make a move in Yilan City, and has made a perfect plan.
The first thing that came to mind was that Qin Haotian wanted his own life, but then vetoed it, Qin Haotian really wanted his own life, and at the dinner party just now, Grandpa Li would definitely not be able to stop Qin Haotian. There is no need to use these behind-the-scenes means, but it cannot be ruled out that this is Qin Haotian's trick, and he doesn't want to go against his grandfather openly.
Dream without a trace is not thinking too much, the most important thing in front of him is how to deal with the current enemy. The killer in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm, this is an even more dangerous life-and-death battle than the last time.
Although his own cultivation is no longer the same, the enemy's cultivation has increased by a large level. Dream Without a Trace wasn't much for sure, but he wasn't going to sit still. Dream Without a Trace also wants to know where his strength has reached?
Thinking about it, Meng Wuxian held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his eyes solemn. The momentum of practicing qi nine times came out of the body. A blood-red sword aura filled the body of the Qingfeng Sword, forming a whirlpool of sword qi.
"Oh, it seems that the news is wrong, you are not practicing Qi Eightfold but have already reached the Ninth Level. Fortunately, I didn't send those Qi Ninefold Cultivators here, otherwise the mission would have failed. But it's better that way, it allows me to play a little longer. Black Snake said with some excitement.
And Zhao Li, who was far away from the city, had already caught up with the man in black who stopped in front. At this time, the man in black turned around and looked at Zhao Li with an inexplicable smile, and couldn't tell who it was.
And Zhao Li's cloudy eyes flashed, and he was shocked, and shouted: "It's not good, turn the tiger away from the mountain." He said and prepared to turn back quickly.
"Hahaha, it's too late to react now. The man in black laughed, and the peak cultivation of the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm came out of his body. The energy in his hand gathered and attacked Zhao Li with one palm.
And Zhao Li clenched his fist with his right hand, and the fist mountain was full of flames, and a punch burst out with a sonic boom.
The Flame Fist and the Energy Giant Palm collided fiercely.
