Chapter 31: Ringing Sky Lock
Cloudsdale suddenly fell silent. There are noticeably fewer people on the streets.
Rumors of the Vietnamese envoy and the half-moon bay rush are quietly circulating in the streets and alleys. The silence of Cloudsdale. There is a kind of depression that the mountain rain is about to come.
And after recovering from his injury, the prince of Yue Kingdom was blocked in the city lord's mansion all day long. asked Mu Xueyi to give him an explanation.
This made Mu Xueyi very depressed. In fact, he also has a lot of speculation in his heart. I think nine out of ten may have done it. But. Half Moon Bay was also hit in the middle of the night. From the person he left to investigate, he returned and reported. There was a fierce fight on the spot. The number of dead and wounded reached about a hundred. But. Because of the burning of a fire. Plus. The attacking Assassins were dealt with by Yan Ran first. They have no way of finding out.
But. All this fell in Mu Xueyi's eyes. There's only one possibility. That's the man who attacked Half Moon Bay. It may be Zhuo Jinxuan's person. That's why Yan Ran will return a tooth for a tooth in the second half of the night. Sneak attack on the inn.
But. These are all Mu Xueyi's guesses. There is no evidence to back it up. So. Facing the prince of Yue Kingdom, Zhuo Jinxuan's many pressures. Mu Xueyi can only play tai chi. Procrastination and procrastination. Anyway. He didn't believe that this Zhuo Jinxuan could stay in his Cloud City forever.
finally sent Zhuo Jinxuan away. Mu Xueyi turned around and went to Half Moon Bay.
Yan Ran heard that Mu Xueyi was coming. A guilty look on his face. In the past few days, Zhuo Jinxuan went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask Mu Xueyi to give an explanation, and she also knew about it. In fact. She didn't want to move Zhuo Jinxuan in Cloudsdale. At the reception banquet held at the city gate and Mu Xueyi, Zhuo Jinxuan was also renovated because it was in full view. He didn't have a way. She didn't want to embarrass Mu Xueyi. But. People have bullied her. If only she could endure it. She's not Yan Ran. So. When she learned that the person who attacked her was really sent by Zhuo Jinxuan. I couldn't help but do it right away. Leaving two people to look like her and Dongfang Ming. The people who dealt with Mu Xueyi and the envoys of the two countries on the bright side. This creates an alibi for her and Dongfang Ming.
This time. She can only be considered a pyrrhic victory. Although killed the bald old man. But. The moon eagle also paid the price of an arm.
And Mu Xueyi came. What he said to Yan Ran was also Zhuo Jinxuan's business. And. Mu Xueyi told her guess. While talking, he also observed Yan Ran's reaction. But. What kind of person is Yan Ran? I'm used to acting. What is the reaction in the heart. The face will not show a single cent.
Mu Xueyi saw this. A light smile appeared on his face. Before Yan Ran could speak. I made my own statement first." YAN Ran. I don't need to lie in front of you. What's going on over there with Prince Yue. You and I know it. Whether there is evidence or not. It's up to me. Even if you understand. You don't have to worry."
Yan Ran knew that Mu Xueyi was planning to be on her side. It is false that the heart is not moved. The country of Yue and Cloudsdale are bordered. If Zhuo Jinxuan is really angry. Maybe there will be a war. This is also the reason why she was reluctant to move Zhuo Jinxuan in Cloud City. She can't drag Cloudsdale down.
Yan Ran voiced his doubts. Looking at Mu Xueyi's expression, he unconsciously took on a look of guilt.
Mu Xueyi laughed all of a sudden. The face of the charm flashed with arrogance and domineering. There is confidence in the charming eyes." YAN Ran. I still don't remember the last time I had a martial arts conference. We were attacked on the way to Qi. The other party is a group of well-trained men in black. That one attack. The opponent's martial arts are strong. There are a lot of people. But. Finally face our resistance. They left without getting anything."
Yan Ran listened to Mu Xueyi talk about that. nodded. I remember. Those men in black later confirmed that they were Zhuo Jinxuan's people."
The corners of Mu Xueyi's mouth hooked up a smile. Yes. I never understood what their purpose was that time. There was hardly any fierce fighting after our resistance. And they withdrew. Later. I've been looking into this."
"What did you find?" Yan Ran asked. She didn't know why Mu Xueyi suddenly mentioned this matter. But at this time, there must be something to be found.
Mu Xueyi nodded. That one attack. It's not without purpose."
Yan Ran heard this. There was a glint of gossip in his eyes.
Mu Xueyi's face showed an unprecedented solemn look. His purpose is supposed to be to take something from me. This is something that I usually keep close to me. If I was in Cloudsdale time. Even if they stole something, they wouldn't be able to take it out of Cloudsdale. But. If it's outside. They snatched it and took it away. Pity. The attack. They searched everywhere. I didn't find anything like that. Forced to do so. They had no choice but to retreat. But. But they took advantage of the chaos and installed a man by my side."
Yan Ran heard this. Immediately understood. Although she was curious about what Mu Xueyi was holding in her hand. But. Also knew it wasn't something she should know. So. He just asked, "The man he planted showed his fox tail this time."
Mu Xueyi nodded. Yes. The man came after Zhuo Jinxuan came. Finally, I couldn't bear to contact Zhuo Jinxuan's people......"
"Then what are you going to do next?" Yan Ran felt that Mu Xueyi came to her today. There must be a reason.
"I want to work with you." Mu Xueyi's face was serious. That's what it looks like. It is completely different from the previous business cooperation between the two people. Yan Ran felt in a trance. At this moment, Mu Xueyi was full of a sense of mission.
"Isn't that too much of an outrageous thing to say? YU Gong. You are the lord of the city. It's our parents who are officers. What are you going to do? Just give me a command. I'm going to do my best. Privately. I've always felt like we're friends. in business. We have a great time working together. I think something else. We'll work well together." Yan Ran's words were put three years ago. I must not dare to say this to Mu Xueyi. But. Two years of getting along. Their relationship has taken another step forward. Mu Xueyi in front of her. I've never been a lord of the city. Although Yan Ran knows. Mu Xueyi is not a man and a woman for her. But. So what does it matter? She even felt . Sometimes the camaraderie between friends lasts longer than the love between lovers.
"You say so. I'll just take you as if you promised me." Although Mu Xueyi already knew that Yan Ran would agree to him. But. Now I hear her say it herself. He's still happy.
These two years. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Xuan Rank. I'm about to break through the ground level. But. But he knows. Yan Ran is now in the middle of the ground level. This Fengtian Continent. Young age. Repair for this. I'm afraid I can't find a second one. As the lord of Cloudsdale. He understood too well what it meant to be a master of spiritual power cultivation. Among the royal families of the three kingdoms of the Mukden Continent. There are masters of spiritual power cultivation. The bald master of the prince of Yueguo. It is a master enshrined by the royal family of the Yue Kingdom. Now. Such a master at the peak of the earth level was destroyed by Yan Ran, the middle stage of the earth level. Mu Xueyi said that she was not shocked and it was fake.
Now the true spiritual power masters of the Fengtian Continent are quite limited. And. Most of those masters have been advanced for many years. Boasting of being the top presence on this continent. A lot of things. They don't bother to do it. They are mostly reclusive. What is pursued is the advancement of cultivation. Break through the Heavenly Rank and reach the God Tier.
His Cloudsdale. Except that he, the city lord, can cultivate spiritual power. Others are not allowed to cultivate. And in the Three Kingdoms. Members of the royal family can all cultivate. Of course. Because of qualifications. Not every cultivator can become a master. Control the number of spiritual cultivators. It was a mutual agreement after the catastrophe that destroyed the world. For the stability of the world. There was no objection to any of them.
But. Something. Sooner or later it will be broken.
"Are you trying to deal with Zhuo Jinxuan?" Yan Ran asked curiously. Ordinarily. Now there are no masters around Zhuo Jinxuan. He himself was wounded again. Before the Yue Emperor sent a new spiritual master. It was easy for them to kill Zhuo Jinxuan. But. The difficulty is the difficulty. The consequences after killing Zhuo Jinxuan. The Yue Emperor will definitely not give up. When the time comes. If you send troops to attack Cloudsdale. Mu Xueyi will lose more than she gains.
"It's not who I'm going to deal with. I'm just trying to protect myself." Mu Xueyi sighed. The expression on his face became solemn and serious again.
"Could it be that who among the Three Kingdoms wants to be unfavorable to Cloud City." Yan Ran's mind suddenly appeared of those princes and grandchildren of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuo Jinxuan is insidious and vicious. You can do anything; Qi Lingfeng has a feminine face. Inscrutable. I don't know what tricks are going on in my head; Although Yan Chengxi looks very aggressive. Very bold look. But. Yan Ran didn't think that the person who could mix like a fish in water in the royal family was a simple character. So. Now I hear Mu Xueyi say this. Yan Ran's first reaction was that there was anyone in the Three Kingdoms who had moved the mind of Cloud City. I want to take Cloudsdale for myself.
"Not them." Mu Xueyi's tone was a little hesitant. It seems that he is considering whether to talk to Yan Ran.
Yan Ran didn't rush him. Anyway. In her view. What can make Mu Xueyi so embarrassed. Speaking out, she won't necessarily be able to help him.
After a while. Yan Ran thought that Mu Xueyi would not say it. Mu Xueyi suddenly spoke. What Zhuo Jinxuan wants is called the Heavenly Lock."
Ringing Sky Lock. What the hell. Yan Ran looked dazed.
Mu Xueyi continued: "This Ringing Sky Lock is the thing that controls the enchantment between Cloud City and the Demon Beast Forest."
Yan Ran's eyes widened when he heard this. Original. This barrier can still be controlled. It's too tall.
"This Sky Lock is the embodiment of the spirits of every generation of our Cloudsdale City Lords. An enchantment used to control Cloudsdale and the Monster Forest. The reason why we in Cloudsdale is independent of the Three Kingdoms. It's because we're close to the Warcraft Forest. It is the most dangerous city. The Three Kingdoms don't want a city like ours that can be attacked or even destroyed by demonic beasts at any time. So. Cloudsdale will be able to stand on its own for hundreds of years."
