In a hidden canyon in the territory of the three counties of the Eastern Regions.

There is a quaint but magnificent manor.

There are many masters in the manor, among which the innate masters alone have reached double digits.

Outside the manor is a bamboo forest, there is a stream on the side of the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is secluded, the stream is murmuring, the scenery is picturesque, and it is a good place for a sage to escape from the world.

Only the faint aura of the manor and the many sentry posts lurking in the vicinity somewhat spoiled the atmosphere.

By the stream, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe was leaning on a bamboo chair.

In front of the bamboo chair is a coffee table.

On the coffee table is a pot of fragrant tea and two tea cups.

"Uncle Lian, I didn't want to trouble you, but I got the news not long ago that Zhen Xu's vicious dog is going back to Beijing to report on his work recently."

Qin De said with a somewhat apologetic sigh.

"He not only carries the 'Tongtian Map' on his body, but also a series of intelligence materials from the investigation of our three counties in the Eastern Regions in the past two years, which cannot be seen by Xiang Guang, and it is inconvenient for me to take action in person, so I can only trouble you Lian Bo............"

"The prince doesn't have to be like this."

Lian Yan waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "This is Lian Yan's responsibility, and in recent years, I have been raising in Cloud Mountain Villa for too long, and I happen to have a little itchy muscles and bones, and I want to move." ”

Sou!

At this time, a blue figure suddenly flew from the mouth of the valley, and soon came behind Qin De.

But it is an old man who looks young and does not need to be said to be young at all, and his cultivation is not weak, and he is also a master of the late congenital stage.

"Is there something wrong?"

Sensing the arrival, Qin De frowned slightly, and asked lightly.

"Leader Qiyu, there is another person in the 'external network' who has taken over the task of assassinating Zhen Xu."

"Oh?"

Qin De's eyebrows couldn't help but raise: "Didn't you say that the killers of the 'external network' no longer dare to touch this task?" Why did another one pop up all of a sudden? ”

If it weren't for the gold medal killers of the 'external network' who were all evasive about this task, he would not have made up his mind so quickly to ask Lian Yan to make a move.

Unexpectedly, he was already ready to make a move, but someone who was not afraid of death suddenly appeared over there.

"Which gold medal killer is taking on the mission this time?"

"Lord Qiqi, he is the 'Demon King'."

"'Demon King'?!"

Qin De couldn't help but be moved: "That 'Demon King' who has disappeared for ten years? He reappeared? ”

"Lord Qiqi, it's him."

The old man in blue nodded affirmatively.

"I didn't expect him to come out, and the king thought he was dead. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, there was a good show to watch now. ”

Qin De couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then seemed to think of something, turned his head to Lian Yan on the side and said, "Uncle Lian, now you don't have to make a move." ”

"Lord Wang, this killer called 'Demon King' is very strong?"

Lian Yan asked curiously.

It seemed that he had to be before, but now why is he suddenly not needed?

"Very strong, ten years ago he was the most popular gold medal killer in 'Skynet'............"

Qin De briefly introduced the situation of this 'Demon King'.

"According to the internal assessment of his strength within the 'Skynet', this 'Demon King' is suspected to have the strength of the Innate Great Perfection, and I wanted to win him over at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to suddenly disappear, which made the king's plan fall through. I didn't expect to jump out at this time, it's really God help me. ”

"When you say that, I am interested in this 'Demon King'."

…………

The City of Zephyr is a small city on the border of the three counties of the Eastern Regions.

It is only a hundred miles away from the four counties directly under the Xiang family, because it is close to the junction of the four counties of the Xiang family and the three counties of the Eastern Regions, and it is located on the main traffic route, so although it is only a small city, it is quite prosperous.

The night was deep, and it was midnight in the blink of an eye.

But in the backyard guest room of one of the largest inns in Westwind City, there is still a light on.

In the room, Zhen Xu sat in front of his desk, fiddling with a strange square jade in his hand, which was the 'Tongtian Map' that had fallen into his hand before.

"Tongtian Diagram, Tongtian Diagram, where is your mystery hidden?"

Zhen Xu's eyes were full of regret.

Originally, he thought that with his ingenuity, the mystery contained in this 'Babel Map' would definitely not be able to hide from him.

But he didn't expect that it had been more than a year since this 'Tongtian Map' fell into his hands for a while, but he still couldn't understand the mystery of it, and as for the legendary immortal inheritance, he didn't even see a shadow.

And as time went by, the news of this 'Tongtian Map' in his hands finally leaked out, allowing Chu Emperor Xiang Guang to hear the rumors.

In order not to lose the emperor's trust, he had to cut his love for this treasure that he had not yet understood.

After returning to Beijing this time, this treasure will be dedicated to the emperor.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of chagrin and regret in his heart.

"Maybe I'm not related to this treasure."

With a sigh, Zhen Xu reached out and took an iron box from the table, and put the 'Tongtian Map' in his hand into it.

Then close the tin box, insert the key to lock the tin box, and tap your fingers on the tin box several times in a row, the tin box "clicks", and the keyhole disappears.

This is a specially crafted secret box.

If you don't know how to open it, you won't be able to open it even if you have a key, and forcibly opening it will only cause the box to self-destruct along with its contents.

After installing the 'Tongtian Map', Zhen Xu pushed the iron box and the key to the table: "Little brother, you go and give this thing to Elder Yu." ”

As his words fell, a person came out of the shadow in the corner, and it was none other than Zhen Xu's henchman Nalan Feng.

"Big brother, you won't be enlightened for two days? When you enter the capital, it's not too late for you to hand it over to the emperor in person. ”

Nalan Feng said in a low voice.

He knows best how much thought Zhen Xu has put into this 'Tongtian Map', but he is unwilling, just handing it over for nothing.

If they really handed over the things to the Elder Yu sent by the emperor, then they really wouldn't be able to get their hands on it again.

"No need."

Zhen Xu waved his hand angrily: "I haven't studied it for so long, and it's in vain to put it in my hand for two more days." And our trip back to Beijing will definitely not be peaceful, this thing is too dazzling on ourselves. ”

"That............ Okay"

Nalan Feng hesitated for a moment, but still took the iron box on the table, turned around and went out.

"Big brother, it's late, aren't you resting?"

Seeing that Zhen Xu was just leaning on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, but he didn't mean to turn off the lights and go to bed, another person came out of another shadow corner of the room, it was Nalandan.

Since knowing that Zhen Xu was targeted for assassination by 'Skynet', the Nalan brothers and sisters now eat and sleep with Zhen Xu every day, and are close guards.
