Volume 1 The Continent of the Phoenix, Chapter 28 Conspiracy
"Is it the young master?"
"It's Yuechen and the young master! they're still alive!"
A voice with a bit of surprise sounded from the crowd, which was the Tao family.
Before Yue Chen could see a figure clearly from the crowd and quickly rushed out and pounced on Yue Chen's body, Yue Chen was stunned and looked down slightly at the person who came was none other than Zi Muyu, looking at her little face full of dust with pear blossoms and rain, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and reached out and gently hugged Zi Muyu in her arms.
"I thought you ......," Zi Muyu said with a little sobbing and leaned her head on Yue Chen's shoulder.
The disciples of the Tao family on the side looked at Yue Chen with envy and jealousy, they naturally didn't know the secret of Yue Chen's life experience, but they knew a little about Zi Muyu, after all, the Tao family suffered a great disaster not long ago, if it weren't for Zi Yan, the deputy sect leader of the Forging Body Sect, who arrived in time, I am afraid that the Tao family would have been bleeding that day, and the reason why Zi Yan was able to come to the rescue of the Tao family in time was all because of Zi Muyu, so even a fool could understand that Zi Muyu's status in the Forging Body Sect was obviously unusual, otherwise how could it attract a master of Ziyang's identity!
It is precisely because of this that Zi Muyu has been the dream lover of many Tao disciples since that day, after all, for such a little girl with such a beautiful appearance and such an identity, who can hold back the little thoughts in his heart, after all, everyone hopes to climb the high branch of the Forging Body Sect and leap into the dragon gate.
"Don't worry, I'm a blessed person, I can't die!" Yue Chen ignored the strange eyes around him, gently patted Zi Muyu's back, and said slowly: "Look at so many people here, they are still watching!"
Zi Muyu turned his head slightly sideways and looked at the people of the Tao family who looked strangely around him, his face flushed, and he quickly struggled out of Yue Chen's arms and said, "It's all thanks to you for letting me lose such a big person!"
"Tell me what this is. Yue Chen took Zi Muyu's little hand and followed Tao Xiao's steps to the crowd on the Tao family's side.
"I don't know either!" Zi Muyu shook his head and said, "I waited for you outside until early in the morning, and I thought I was ...... when I saw that you didn't come out" Zi Muyu raised her slightly reddened eyes and looked at Yue Chen with some resentment, obviously still a little dissatisfied with Yue Chen's behavior of being trapped alone.
Yue Chen turned his head to look ahead with some evasion, although there were many people on the other side, but no one acted rashly, obviously the other party was not in a hurry to make a move, but just wanted to stop the Tao family and not let them leave this hall.
"Early in the morning, before you came out, I wanted to go back to the Tao family, first call someone to rescue you, who knows, before I arrived at the city gate, I happened to meet the Great Elder, and they rushed over with a lot of people. Zi Muyu looked at Yue Chen's drifting eyes and didn't say anything, still continuing to explain from the previous words.
"I went over and told me what I knew before and rushed over with everyone, and I happened to meet the disciples who escaped from this secret passage, and they said that when you broke through, you went crazy and exploded!" Zi Muyu said with red eyes: "Do you know how worried I am?"
Yue Chen gently squeezed Zi Muyu's cold little hand, and felt a strong sense of concern from her words, although she didn't speak, the little hand holding Zi Muyu was secretly clenched a little unintentionally, and her heart was also full of guilt.
"After we learned about it, we wanted to go down to the secret passage to find out, who would have thought that these people would suddenly come out to stop us, but they just don't seem to want us to leave this hall, the Great Elder just had a slight fight with a few of them and couldn't get any benefits, and then you guys came out!"
Listening to Zi Muyu's explanation, Yue Chen frowned slightly, and from the other party's clothing, he could clearly feel that the other party was not a soldier, and from the breath, he sensed that the other party was all Saint Masters!
You must know that there are only more than 100 saint masters in the entire Tao family, and this time they almost poured out, but the number of people on the opposite side is obviously far more than the Tao family, and this kind of lineup is probably only possible in the entire Starfall City.
"Ahem!"
Not far away, the Great Elder of the Tao Family coughed lightly twice, and although both sides did not fight hard with a master of the other party just now, the other party obviously suppressed himself in terms of level, so he suffered some secret losses.
"The old man guessed right, you are the city lord's personal guards!" the great elder said with a slight fist at the other party.
"Not bad. ”
There was a slight silence on the other side, and a middle-aged man spoke up: "I am the captain of the pro-guard team, and there is no malice in stopping you now, now that the city lord and the noble family master are missing at the same time, we just hope that the noble family master can come forward to explain the whereabouts of the city lord." ”
"Confused!" the Great Elder sighed hatefully and said, "I received the news from the head of the family three hours ago, the city lord is now being hunted down and killed by people with a poison in his body, and the head of the family and the city lord are now on the run, and you are only afraid that our lord and your city lord will ...... if you stop him like this."
"This..."The middle-aged man obviously hesitated, obviously skeptical of the Great Elder's words.
"Lord Captain, what the Great Elder said is true, my father and I fled to the secret passage at the same time, if it weren't for the guidance of the City Lord, how would we know where this secret passage is!" Tao Xiao said loudly.
"Now that the city lord is deeply poisoned, he is being hunted down and killed, my father and several Tao family children are fighting for their lives, life and death are unknown? ”
Tao Xiao's words obviously moved the other party's heart a little, after all, everything in the city lord's personal guard is based on the safety of the city lord, and the city lord was seriously injured after being attacked by someone before, and now this situation is indeed impossible.
"Captain, I'm afraid it's too late if you hesitate!" Tao Xiao said eagerly, now that his father was hunted down and killed, life and death were uncertain, and he and the Tao family were restrained here, how could he not be anxious!
"I am willing to be a hostage until I find the city lord and all the truth is revealed!" Tao Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said.
"No!" The Great Elder stopped Tao Xiao and said with some eagerness: "Now that the head of the family is in danger, if there is a loss, the Tao family cannot be left without an owner for a day!"
"Great Elder!" Tao Xiao was a little eager to say something, but was interrupted by the Great Elder stretching out his hand, and turned to the pro-guard and said to the long.
"Captain, what we said is true, but I also understand the worries in your heart, the old man is willing to temporarily take the Holy Force as a hostage!
If Tao Xiao's words just now made the captain hesitate, after all, they had no way to verify whether this child was Tao Xuan's son or not, but the words of the Great Elder completely dispelled their doubts.
It is true that the identity can be faked, and with the strength of the Great Elder approaching the Transformation Realm, in addition to the two elders of the Tao family, it is indeed difficult for the Tao family to find a third person, and now the Great Elder is willing to proclaim himself as a hostage, and he can't help but believe his words a little.
"In that case, offended!" the man said slightly as he clenched his fists at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder nodded, looked at the many Tao family disciples behind him, slightly instructed Tao Xiao and several high-level officials, and came to the man's side alone without changing his face.
"Junior Zhu Zheng, I don't know the senior's name!" The man looked at the white-haired and fearless elder in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little more respect in his heart, after all, sealing the holy power as a hostage is equivalent to entrusting his life to their group of strangers.
"Tao Zhengyang!" The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, "Let's do it!"
"Offended!" Zhu Zheng slapped his palm at the place of the Great Elder's dantian, and saw a blue town seal appear on the Great Elder's lower abdomen.
"Hmph!" The Great Elder's body trembled, and the momentum of the whole person instantly withered, and his face, which already looked very old, was even a little older.
"Let's go!" the Great Elder reluctantly got up with Zhu Zheng's support.
"Let's go!" Zhu Zheng also waved his hand no longer hesitating, and the two guards opened the mechanism, and everyone rushed in and rushed towards the secret passage.
"We have it too. Tao Xiao patted Yue Chen's shoulder, Yue Chen nodded, took Zi Muyu's hand and said softly, "Follow me!"
"Hmm!" Zi Muyu nodded lightly, for some reason she always had an inexplicable sense of security beside Yue Chen, which seemed to be a feeling dyed from the inside out.
The secret passage is still the same as before, but at this time, it is crowded and lively, hundreds of holy masters rush in, and under the guidance of the fire attribute holy master, the entire secret passage is extremely bright.
Everyone was a holy master who stretched out his hand quickly, even the great elder who sealed the holy power was carried by Zhu Zheng and hurried quickly, but in a quarter of an hour, he came to the place where Yue Chen had just left, looking at the green place, everyone's seriousness couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"You made this out?" Zi Muyu asked softly.
"Uh... It seems to be!" Yue Chen didn't know how to answer Zi Muyu's question, after all, such a strange thing would be unbelievable to anyone.
But fortunately, Zi Muyu didn't dwell too much on it, just nodded slightly, and followed the crowd to continue walking towards the depths of the secret passage.
Walking into the depths of the secret passage, Yue Chen knew that this secret passage was so long, and under the extreme practice of so many holy masters, it had not come to an end for so long, and Yue Chen couldn't help but wonder where this secret passage leads.
"The exit seems to be almost here!" Just when Yue Chen was puzzled, Zhu Zheng's voice suddenly came, and he couldn't help but shake Yue Chen's spirit.
Not far ahead, there was indeed a glimmer of light, which seemed to be sunlight, Yue Chen gently pulled Zi Muyu's hand and waved his hand slightly at Tao Xiao to slow down.
"What's wrong?" Tao Xiao was slightly puzzled: "The front is the exit!"
"Don't you think it's going too well, brother?" Yue Chen said with some concern: "When I entered the secret passage, I encountered so many enemies blocking me, why did it suddenly become quiet, whether it was the Great Elders entering Starfall City or coming to the City Lord's Mansion to enter the secret passage. ”
"You mean?" Tao Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he was about to stop everyone, when suddenly a scream came from just out of the secret passage in front of him, followed by several screams one after another!
"Something happened!" Yue Chen and Tao Xiao glanced at each other, the first to go out just now were all masters at the level of the Lingyuan Realm, and such a scream was probably more than lucky!
"It's the demon clan!" A scream with a bit of horror sounded, and the faces of the rest of the people finally changed.
