The desert heat wave is rolling, and now it is the scorching summer of June, which is the hottest time in the Empire. Smoke and dust slowly rose, and several figures and riders of tall horses came at a rapid pace.

The first person is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular coldness. A pair of eyes, bright and clear, sitting on horseback and standing still.

"Qi Yan, how long will it take to get to Sanssouci City?" The young man spoke, his voice clear, and despite the sound of wind and sand raging around him, it still fell into the ears of the two people on the left and right.

"There is still half a day to go, and we can reach Sanssouci City. Qi Yan's knife-like face was stained with wind and sand at this time, and it looked a little rough. His eyes swept to the depths of the desert, paused, and said, "We are fortunate to have a sweaty BMW provided by Jubao Zhai this time, otherwise it would be difficult to arrive in advance in three or four days." ”

"Brother Qian has helped a lot, if this matter is successful, I will definitely thank him well. ”

"Young Master, our Liu family also has a station in Sanssouci City, where do you go to rest?" the other person spoke, and it was Liu Si who was wearing civilian clothes. This time it was thousands of miles out of the mansion, and for cultivators, it would only take two days to ride the alien beasts specially transported in the empire, but in order to prevent them from being known by the Liu Mansion and others, Liu Yang chose to travel alone and rushed to the vicinity of Sanssouci City in four days.

Because Liu Zhou was not worried that Liu Yang would go out of the house alone, Liu Si followed the latter here. Although his cultivation is not high, he is familiar with the heads of the major regions of the Liu Mansion, and he can use the strength of the Liu family when necessary.

Of course, only in case. Otherwise, now that the internal situation in the Liu Mansion is unclear, Liu Yang will not plan to use the Liu family's power in Sanssouci City at all. Otherwise, Liu Batian and the others knew that they had come to Sanssouci City without authorization, and it was not ruled out that they would send a large number of killers to exterminate them.

"Go this time, don't alarm the Liu Mansion in Sanssouci City. He shook his head, a strange color in his eyes.

In order to improve his own strength, Liu Yang had no choice but to come to Sanssouci City. Now the situation in the empire is not optimistic, as early as a few days ago, the emperor sitting in the deep palace has released the news of Wu Sizang's invasion, and the entire imperial city and even the empire are panicked. A large number of soldiers and horses have begun to be gathered in various places, and the place where the song and dance was originally peaceful has also become a little depressed.

And in the Liu Mansion, after Liu Zhang awakened the God King Ding last time, the side people restrained a lot, but for a few days, Li Liu Batian and others continued to make small moves, obviously continuing to wait for the right time to grasp the power of the Liu Mansion. All of this made Liu Yang feel a huge danger in the center of the whirlpool, otherwise how could he have braved thousands of miles to appear here.

"Qi Yan, you've been to Sanssouci City before. How much do you know about the situation in the city?" After a moment of silence, Liu Yang asked slowly.

"Young Master Liu, you asked me to come this time to find the right person. With a smile, Qi Yan showed his snow-white teeth and said, "Sanssouci City is one of the top ten ancient cities in the empire, and the power of the sect in the city is not weak. All along, it has been controlled by the Sanssouci Sect. ”

"Sanssouci Sect?"

Hearing these three names, Liu Yang frowned slightly. The sect that can master the ancient city of Nuoda is naturally the top force in the empire, but he does not have this sect in his impression.

"Speaking of which, the Sanssouci Sect still has something to do with your Liu family. Seeing through Liu Yang's thoughts, Qi Yan paused and continued: "I heard that the original master of the Sanssouci Sect was regarded as half a disciple of your Liu family's ancestors. This sect is unique in the sectarian world, they are very mysterious and powerful but they act very low-key, the people of the past generations are scarce and the range of activities is not out of the vicinity of Sanssouci City, so in the entire empire, except for some people who have been to Sanssouci City, most people don't even know that there is a Sanssouci Sect. ”

"According to you, this Sanssouci Sect should be very prosperous. How can it be so mysterious and low-key?"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Qi Yan shook his head, as if he remembered something, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Five or six years ago, I went to Sanssouci City, and I once knew a disciple of Sanssouci Sect, at that time, he gave me the impression that he looked like a mortal, but then he made a move, and the power of thunder was enough to amaze most young cultivators, and it was also because he had some friendship for helping him pay for a drink, and later I learned some information about Sanssouci Sect from his mouth." ”

"And I heard that the auction held every ten years was held by this Sanssouci Sect. Speaking of this, Qi Yan pondered for a moment, and then said, "What you are looking for this time is too important, so when I arrive in the city, I want to meet the original friend, maybe he will help you a little." ”

"I can't imagine that you still have such a friend, it seems that this matter still needs your help. Hearing this, Liu Yang nodded slightly, he didn't care how grand the auction was once every ten years, the most important thing was to get what he wanted.

For this goal, he even went to Yi Xuan again in a few days to help the latter refine a lot of five-grade extreme pills in exchange for a large amount of money, and he was very well prepared.

"Young Master Liu, this time things are not so simple. Even if there are people from the Sanssouci Sect to help, but I heard that the annual auction of Sanssouci City attracts many big names, and even the terrifying existence in the imperial capital will appear, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to get the two treasures you like. "Qi Yan is a person who has been crawling and fighting, so it is naturally even more difficult.

Although Liu Yang is the heir of the Liu family, the empire has stood for thousands of years, and there are countless forces that have been inherited, and naturally there are many sects or other forces that can compete with the eight great families.

This kind of auction is extremely grand, but there are not a few things to kill people and sell goods in secret, and it is natural to make all the plans when you go out, otherwise you don't have any worries, I'm afraid that the first one will be plotted.

"You don't have to worry too much about this matter, this time we will keep a low profile, as long as we don't have to entangle with other people after we get it, we will leave Sanssouci City immediately with our things. Liu Yang knew Qi Yan's thoughts, but he was very calm.

As long as he gets the Dragon Ball and the Giant Core, then he will convert it into an ability point as soon as possible to evolve the ability of the Spirit Eye to the extreme, and at that time, even if he faces the powerhouse of the Fifth Realm, he will have a self-protection power, and it will naturally be no problem to return to the Imperial City.

And if there is really any risk, showing the signboard of the Liu family's heirs, I believe it is enough to make many people jealous.

The reason why the eight great families have been able to stand in the imperial capital for thousands of years without falling, not only is it a profound background, but also the fact that the successive emperors need them to suppress the overall situation, so they are the top forces supported by the imperial court, whether it is the energy they have openly or secretly, it is by no means that other top forces can easily compete.

The three of them rode a sweaty BMW, a thousand miles a day. When the horse's hooves landed, they pulled out a series of afterimages in the desert, and before the smoke and dust behind them dispersed, they had already seen a steel city standing between heaven and earth in front of them.

The city walls are as high as mountain peaks, and the towering statues are huge, guarding both sides of the majestic city gates.

From a distance, the entire city looks like a giant dragon, entrenched in the entire desert, exuding a desolate and ancient atmosphere.

"There's Sanssouci in front of you. Qi Yan reminded softly, with a touch of remembrance in his expression. The world is unpredictable, and when he comes here, he has already become Liu Yang's entourage. In the past few years, my life has changed dramatically.

"Sure enough, it's a magnificent ancient city. ”

"Young master, this city gate is still a huge number of points larger than the inside of the imperial capital. ”

Liu Yang's two masters and servants were both here for the first time, and there was a little surprise in their eyes. Especially Liu Yang, this is the first time he has left the imperial capital, as a person from the world of science and technology, he can only see the unique architectural style of this world at this moment.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air. A cold light swept across the scalp and fell a few feet in front of the three of them.

If Liu Yang noticed, he saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, and a large number of people and horses were roaring. Among them, in front of the smoke and dust, there were several people sitting on a lizard that was ten feet in size.

The lizard is very large, and it can run very quickly in the desert, and it can sweep a distance of more than ten feet with both hands and feet.

Even so, the figure behind it rode wildly on a terrifying beast, and its speed was even two points faster than that of the lizard, and if it continued like this, the lizard and the figure on its back would be caught up by them without a few breaths.

There were several terrified figures sitting on the lizard, and the one who commanded the lizardbeast was a teenager. Her brows were furrowed deeply, and her pale face became very conspicuous in the wind and sand.

Perhaps sensing something, she raised her head and saw Liu Yang and the others, and a bright light appeared in her originally somewhat gloomy eyes. She didn't hesitate, as soon as she pulled the reins, the lizard looked up to the sky and roared, turned around and went straight to Liu Yang and the others.

"First-order demon beasts, monitor lizard beasts. ”

Far away, Liu Si opened his mouth to remind. He was born as a black-armored guard in Liu's Mansion, so he was naturally very clear about all kinds of demon beasts. Monitor lizards have a docile personality and only have first-order strength when they become adults, but they are superior to their tall size and fast running speed, so they are used as mounts after being submitted by many people.

"Young Master Liu Yang, they are coming towards us. ”

Qi Yan's eyes condensed slightly, and his face became very embarrassed as he saw the monitor lizard beast leading a dense group of figures.

"Don't be nosy, let's go. ”

With a faint glance, Liu Yang withdrew his gaze. The woman deliberately attracted the large group of men behind her, apparently hoping to use their strength to stop the pursuing enemy for a moment, and then flee into the city herself.

"This man is an abomination. ”

Liu Si opened his mouth and couldn't help but scold. The monitor lizard beast was followed by hundreds of shadows, and if this force caught up with them, it would definitely be a very dangerous situation. I don't know each other and the other party, so this woman deliberately caused trouble, which shows that her scheming is gloomy.

The three of them rode sweaty BMWs, and the speed was quite fast. Soon he distanced the monitor lizard beast that was following behind him.

"Damn! These people don't know that Lu Jian is uneven and draws a sword to help!" the woman who manipulated the monitor lizard beast pursed her red lips, and a gloom appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Qin Ying, let's not drag others down. If it doesn't work, you can put us down. On the monitor lizard, a wounded man spoke, his voice very weak.

He sat on the back of a bumpy monitor lizard, his hair was purple, and his face was extremely handsome. Long and beautiful like a willow, her body is like a jade tree, and her white robe on her upper body is wet with bloodstains, and the dazzling blood stains seep out through the thin clothes, setting off the originally somewhat weak face even more pale. The long purple hair was draped behind the snow-white neck, and his peaceful and cold eyes seemed to have no focus, and the dark eyes were full of calm.

"Big brother, it's all my fault. I must bring you back to Sanssouci City, and when the time comes, let my father ask the Elder of Sanssouci to treat you for you. The woman named Qin Ying spoke, and there was a look of determination in her tone.

Suddenly, she pinched the seal with both hands, and her originally pale face became like a blank piece of paper. An astonishing energy enveloped the monitor lizard beast below with her as the center, causing its speed to increase by a few points in an instant, and suddenly turned into an afterimage and swept past Liu Yang and the others.

"What?"

Seeing this scene, let alone Liu Yang, even the well-informed Qi Yan was stunned. If they remember correctly, this giant beast was a hundred feet away from themselves and the others.

"I am Qin Ying of the Qin family, please help me block the enemies of the Flame Gang behind me, and my Qin family will be grateful in the future. ”

Qin Yingjiao was weak, but she said to Liu Yang and the others. The implication is that she hopes that Liu Yang and others will help her buy some time.

"Your Excellency's misfortune is a good means. ”

Qi Yan couldn't help but sneer, it was the first time he had seen such a brazen person. They and others have nothing to do with this matter, and for no reason, the other party actually wants to let them and others be shields, which is really ridiculous and generous.

"You ......"

Hearing this, Qin Yingqiao's face was slightly cold. Liu Yang and the others took the lead in leaving after discovering their intentions just now, which already made her feel a little dissatisfied.

In her opinion, shouldn't they come to the rescue of the weak in distress? What's more, they are all from the Qin family, a big family in Sanssouci City, as long as they help themselves, then when the time comes, they will naturally let their father thank them generously, why are they so ignorant.

"These people in front of you must be the Qin family's comrades, everyone hurry up and catch them, don't let them enter the city!"

"These bastards, it turns out that there are accomplices......"

......

Seeing Qin Ying talking with Liu Yang and the others, the Flame Gang bandits behind them didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, and had already determined that the latter and the others were the accomplices of the Qin family. With red eyes, they desperately urged the beasts to come forward and stop them.

The murderous spirit is fierce, and the shouting and scolding are constant.

"You crazy woman, why should we block your gun? Liu Si's face sank, and he also spoke.

"Yes. I advise you not to get so close, and to get out of the way. The situation was critical, and Qi Yan also scolded.

The Flame Gang had heard of him before, they were very ferocious bandits in this desert, and there were many cultivators in it, although their cultivation was not high, they were not afraid of death, and there were many people, so they were notorious.

"You people don't know what to do! ”

"Qin Ying can't!"

As soon as the purple-haired man sitting on the back of the monitor lizard beast spoke, he saw Qin Ying raise his hand and sprinkle more than a dozen beads at Liu Yang and the others.

Each bead is extremely black, and the surface is engraved with countless patterns.

"Not good, Black Water Drop!"

Qi Yan shouted in horror and hurriedly pulled the reins. More than a dozen beads came towards the three of them, and he hurriedly swelled up his true yuan.

"Broken!"

At the critical moment, a sword soldier slashed through the void and wiped out all the black water droplets. Liu Yang's face was slightly gloomy, and he smelled the smell of gunpowder that overflowed.

"What?"

This scene surprised Qin Ying, whose face was covered with frost. If he had taken a breath of delay just now, the black water beads would explode, and the power generated would be enough to destroy a building, and even a cultivator of the second or even third realm would suffer a lot of trauma with the power of more than a dozen qi explosions.

Unexpectedly, he was easily killed by this silent teenager just now.

"You guys have a good face with the people of the Flame Gang!" Qin Ying smiled, but he was not much disappointed, because the figures of Liu Yang and the three of them who had delayed Liu Yang just now slowed down, and they were instantly wrapped in layers of dense figures.

"If this crazy woman shows me, I'll have to kill her!" Qi Yan scolded fiercely, just now after such a delay, the three of them fell into the encirclement of the Dao Flame Gang.

With a long roar, the sweaty BMW slowly stopped, and the surrounding area was already full of dense figures, wearing broken armor and riding on the extremely hideous beast.

One of the beasts was the most eye-catching, two feet tall, and a stout man sat on it. He was carrying a golden spear, his face was very hideous, and he shouted angrily at several people next to him: "You take people to continue to chase, and leave the matter here to me." ”

"Obey the order, the second master!"

The Flame Gang sent out more than forty people to chase after the back of the monitor lizard beast, and Liu Yang noticed that this part of the body was carrying very strong bows and arrows, it seemed that he wanted to capture Qin Ying and the others alive just now, but now it depends on the situation, after all, the gate of Sanssouci City is not far away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are just pawns passing through this place for business. We don't know those people at all just now, so please let us go in large numbers. ”

Qi Yan smiled and said, the Flame Gang is overwhelming, and no one knows if there are other high-strength cultivators nearby, so he and Liu Yang looked at each other and stepped forward to remind.

"Are you a merchant pawn?"

Suddenly, an old man with a large knife sneered. staring at Qi Yan with blazing eyes, he said with a smile: "The three of you are sitting on a sweaty and bloody horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and one of these mounts costs thousands of gold coins. ”

He is quite old, although his eyes are even more vicious. The sweaty BMW looks not much different from a normal horse, but the hair is slightly bright red when sweating, and if you look closely, you will notice that it is abnormal.

"This good man has a very good eye. The lie was exposed, and Qi Yan was not nervous. He smiled and said, "Don't hide it, the three of us are from the Imperial City. This time I came here to buy some things for the masters, so please let us go for the sake of my master's face. Moreover, we really have nothing to do with the crazy woman just now. ”

"Master, who is your master?"

Hearing the word Imperial City, the faces of everyone in the Flame Gang changed slightly. The second leader, who was the leader, asked in a deep voice.
