Chapter 101: Stranger

In the inn in the north of the city, Lou Xue and Duan Hongzhu were still waiting for her return.

When Ding Ruoyu saw them again, he suddenly felt like a world away.

didn't immediately agree to go to Yuguo together, she still had some things she wanted to investigate, and agreed with Lou Xue to see her in Xiangyun City in two months.

The streets and alleys of the City of Fire are filled with portraits of the dead who have escaped. Ding Ruoyu stopped and looked, and rode towards the main altar of the witch sect, only to see a group of officers and soldiers blocking the gate, and the vermilion gate was closed, and no one was allowed to approach.

I wonder if the pontoon has considered such a situation?

Yan Ci will take advantage of the danger of others to turn his face so quickly, but I am afraid that he will not expect it.

Ding Ruoyu wandered outside, and the officers and soldiers noticed that she wanted to come forward to ask, so they hurriedly turned their horses around and returned.

On the way, she saw a few familiar witch disciples, already disguised as civilians, each carrying one or two large packages, hurriedly walking down the street with their heads bowed, and she also deposited the horse in an inn passing by, and secretly followed behind.

This one, to the suburbs.

In front of him were rows of makeshift tents, where most of the members of the Witch Cult who had not left had gathered. The previous few people went to the market to buy rice and food supplies, and they don't know how long they will stay here.

More than half of the members of the witch sect are nobles of the Yan Kingdom, and this time they have quit the sect under the suppression of Yan Xi, and those who remain are either climbing up from the bottom step by step, or they really have nowhere to go.

At this moment, the members of the Witch Cult in the makeshift tent all came out, gathered around one person, and several of the people in charge of procurement distributed the food to the people, and when everyone was quiet, the person who was surrounded in the middle began to speak.

Ding Ruoyu flashed from behind the dead wood where he was hiding to the weeds on the other side, and from this angle, he could see that the person who spoke was Jiang Chenghua, who looked sick.

They didn't plan to leave the Yan Country, so they secretly found a secret place to discuss countermeasures, and prepared to make a comeback.

It was too far away to make out what he was saying, but in a few moments the road was filled with smoke and smoke, and dozens of knights in strange clothes and hairstyles followed a man with a tall head and a big horse, and stopped in the spacious open space in front of the makeshift tent.

There was a faint demonic aura on the leader's body, Ding Ruoyu knew that this person's mana was profound, and he was afraid of being discovered by him, so he quietly retreated back.

But before she could retreat, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if she was being stared at by something strange. She clenched her fists and slowly turned around, looking in her instinctual direction.

Next to the dead wood where she had docked before, a long, thin black shadow stood.

The man was covered in a black cloth, with a wide black cloak on his head, and even his face was tightly covered, and not an inch of exposed skin could be seen on his whole body.

It was almost the position of the eyes, lit up with two spots of red, and he was looking straight at her, not moving.

Hell, in broad daylight, Ding Ruoyu covered his mouth and forcibly controlled himself not to scream.

In the next moment, the ghost moved.

I don't know how to move, when Ding Ruoyu came back to his senses, he was already close, his hand like iron tongs grabbed her wrist, and in another moment, he appeared more than ten feet away with her.

After contact, Ding Ruoyu was not so afraid. This black shadow is not a ghost, just a skinny person, and there is no ill will towards her.

The strange man let go of her, didn't say a word, and Ding Ruoyu began to furry again in the long silence.

Seeing that the other party planned to stare at her like this all the time, Ding Ruoyu hugged his fist and said, "Farewell!" ”

She ran away, rushed out of ten miles, and rushed all the way from the west of the city to the north of the city, and had never returned to the guest room that she had not returned.

Leaning against the familiar small window, watching the crowd coming and going on the street, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she went downstairs in the evening to eat, the strange man dressed in black appeared again, and he sat at a table by the window, and the rest of the guests who passed by were far away, for fear of causing trouble.

Seeing that he didn't look at it, Ding Ruoyu took the food box and hurried back to the room, locking the doors and windows tightly.

Early the next morning, she opened the door through a small crack, and the strange man was gone.

The matter will continue to be investigated, Ding Ruoyu took the horse with a dagger, and went to the western suburbs while no one was there.

After finding a nearby hidden spot, after waiting for a while, several disciples came out of the tent and gathered together to discuss something in private.

As there were more and more people in the clearing, Jiang Chenghua also walked out of the tent with the famous man who came yesterday, making everyone quiet.

He said something in a loud voice, it was nothing more than that it was not a way to hide like this all the time, and sooner or later he would be discovered by the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to patrol the city.

Yan Xi's most fearful of witchcraft are those wizards who can use witchcraft. Before the Demon Suppression Tower was damaged, the Witch Emperor disappeared, and Weak Water and Mu Huo brought almost all the people who knew witchcraft to search for and rescue, and they also mysteriously disappeared into the huge crack under the tower.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eradicate the witchcraft and avoid repeating the mistakes of Yan Long, how can Yan Xi let it go so easily? Those ordinary warriors and witch doctors were completely vulnerable in the face of the sudden attack, and most of the noble children immediately defected when they saw that the momentum was not right.

Only the group of people gathered in the western suburbs at this moment still have the intention of regrouping.

"We're here to help." Jiang Chenghua said, and finally introduced the mysterious person who appeared here yesterday next to him.

"It is said that a wizard who can only do low-level witchcraft can be a hundred, but in fact, witchcraft is passed down from the heavenly clan and the demon clan to the world." Seeing that the other party didn't care, Jiang Chenghua told everyone the truth, "So, if a real demon clan appears, how many soldiers can it resist?" ”

Hearing this, the people at the assembly could not help but talk.

"This is the Prince of Lushi of the Demon Clan." Jiang Chenghua said.

This time, not only those witch cult members, but even Ding Ruoyu was taken aback.

"We don't have to hide and sit back anymore!" Jiang Chenghua raised his arms and shouted, everyone responded loudly, and then began to formulate a plan for counterattack.

Unconsciously, at noon, Ding Ruoyu felt that there was nothing important to listen to, and was about to go home, but he saw a person sneaking out of the tent, and looked around for a while, before he tried to rush to the city.

Could it be that it is a meticulous work to ventilate the imperial court?

She was about to grab the man and ask him more carefully, when a whistling sound sounded behind her, and then she looked at the man, and a thin branch pierced his throat, silently leaving him speechless forever.

Ding Ruoyu turned his head in shock, and the strange man in black was standing three feet away, one arm still maintaining a throwing posture.

Frightened by how bold she was, she stared at the strange man as she slowly lowered her hand, walked over to the dead body, picked it up, and slowly walked away to another place.

Didn't you come for yourself this time?

Ding Ruoyu was stunned, and a desperate curiosity came from nowhere, gritting his teeth and following behind the stranger.

One after the other, I walked for a long time, until I came to the outside of the Demon Suppression Tower, which no one had cleaned up since the collapse.

The huge crack left on the surface of the ground during the previous war had healed on its own, leaving only a shallow crack that might disappear in a few days.

The strange man lifted a seemingly randomly placed barrier in the rubble, revealing the accessible passage below, and dragged the corpse inside.

Ding Ruoyu followed, but before entering the entrance, he found that there was a layer of enchantment on the outside. This barrier was the transparent barrier that protected Madame Lu that day. She thought of the pontoon again, sighed softly, and used another method he had taught to only penetrate the barrier without destroying it, and followed the strange man around the winding tunnels into the lowest chamber.

Although the Demon Suppression Tower was destroyed and could no longer be repaired, the underground was the same as before, without the slightest damage, and even as if it had been carefully cleaned, there was not even a trace of dust.

The wall lamps on both sides were dim, and they could only see the road ahead. After entering the secret room that he had never been before, the man in black stretched out his hand, and a few wisps of demonic fire rushed around the dome with his fingertips, lighting a circle of lights.

Under the light of the fire, Ding Ruoyu saw clearly that a pool had been dug in the center of the secret room, which was filled with red liquid. Perhaps sensing the breath of life, bubbles began to bubble up in the pool, gurgling, and gradually churning out blood-red soft monsters.

The black stranger threw the corpse into the pool, but strangely no splashes were made. In an instant, the corpse dissolved into the red liquid, along with the flesh of the skin, and finally turned into the same bubbling soft monster.

Ding Ruoyu was dumbfounded, until the strange man slowly turned around, and two strange red pupils stared at her.

Is he going to do the same with himself?

Ding Ruoyu secretly said that he couldn't sit still, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, several ice blades hit the key points around the strange man's body.

But in front of her, the man suddenly disappeared, and a thin, hard hand like an iron pincer grasped her thin shoulder.

Just when Ding Ruoyu thought that the other party was about to throw himself into the pool, the hand let go.

hurriedly retreated a few steps, and the other party did not trouble her again, but manipulated the spell to control the soft monsters in the pool to burst one by one, turning into a bright red viscous liquid.

Ding Ruoyu saw that he had no time to take care of himself, so he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and quickly escaped from the underground passage.

After returning to the inn, within a few days, I heard the diners in the lobby talk about the imperial court's preparations to reorganize the witchcraft cult and bring back the holy woman.

Some people say that the young emperor had the ambition to subvert the witch cult, but unfortunately he didn't expect that the other party still had a killer weapon, a team that has never shown its face in front of the world. The people in that team had boundless mana, and the emperor was so frightened that he immediately restored all the power systems of the witch cult.

In a short time, a huge procession appeared in the streets. From the window on the second floor, you can see Sleepless sitting in the big red Zhai car, which is gorgeously decorated with dragons and colorful phoenixes.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her demeanor was dignified and noble, and everyone on the street worshiped the ground, respectful, and did not dare to exceed the rules in the slightest.

Ding Ruoyu watched the car disappear into the corner of the street, and the people who knelt on the ground and saluted also got up and went about their jobs, with a smile on the corner of their mouths.

But suddenly, she was startled, and looked up vigilantly, there was a slender black shadow standing high in the corner of the eaves of the three-storey teahouse diagonally opposite, like a ghost in the daytime, and the faint two-point flame-like eyes stared at her, I don't know how long she stood there.
