Although Xiao Ying had the strength of the middle level of the Spirit Sect, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat in the face of Jin Shan Chong's sudden stop.

He turned around and sat back in his original position, nervously waiting for the city lord to ask questions.

The city lord slowly approached him, and with every step he took, the spiritual power in his body became more and more exaggerated, and in the end, when Jin Shan Chong was only half a step away from Xiao Ying, all the oppressive power of the Spirit King powerhouse had been locked on Xiao Ying.

In just a few steps, Xiao Ying was already sweating profusely, and his lips were white.

Facing the full oppression of the Spirit King's powerhouse, Xiao Ying couldn't even use his hands and feet, but fortunately he was sitting on a stool at the moment, and his hands were also on the table, otherwise he would have to sit on the ground with his butt on his head, and he was full of ugliness.

The patriarch, one of the three major families, actually ignored his image in front of people, sat on the ground, and spread it out, which had to humiliate the Xiao family, who already had a bad mouth.

City Lord Jin Shanchong looked down at Xiao Ying with a condescending attitude and said, "Patriarch Xiao, how are you doing at home recently?"

Xiao Ying suddenly found that in the face of the Spirit King powerhouse, he even had some difficulty speaking, and it seemed that his cultivation was far from enough.

Xiao Ying reluctantly calmed himself down, and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Thank you for the city lord's concern, everything is fine." ”

The city lord pressed forward step by step, and immediately asked one after another: "I heard that there is a distinguished guest from your family, or is he a child of a big family?"

Xiao Ying felt a pang in his heart, thinking that it might be some unknowing domestic servant who leaked out for a while, and he felt bad, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Yes, this person is my cousin's son, the cousin who married away from home twenty years ago. ”

The city lord was not idle enough to remember the direction of the people of each household, and continued to ask, "Then what happened to his sudden visit?"

"It's not a big deal, but my cousin is a little undecided, so I sent my son here for refuge. Xiao Yinghu made up.

Xiao Ying's answer was seamless, there were no logical errors, and there was nothing abnormal in his expression.

Jin Shan Chong couldn't ask for a rough idea, so he asked Xiao Ying to go back first.

After Xiao Ying left, Jin Shanchong's younger brother Jin Shanheng walked in from outside and said to him, "Brother, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what he said. ”

"His cousin's son also participated in the hunting competition, and the information he just said matched the information at the time of registration, and his strength was no problem, only a few hundred points, and he was in the bottom ranks. ”

The city lord Jin Shan Chong couldn't think of anything wrong, so he only instructed: "Ah Heng, don't be careless." Their Xiao family has developed amazingly rapidly, and his abolished genius son has suddenly regained his strength, there must be some mystery behind all this. ”

"As my right-hand man, the second person in charge of the affairs of the city, you must carefully observe all the details, and you must not be careless. ”

After Jin Shanchong finished teaching in the tone of an elder, he left the conference room, leaving Jin Shanheng alone and still here.

I saw that Jin Shanheng's facial expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be extremely angry, so angry that his facial features were a little distorted.

He slammed the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Jin Shan Chong! Why do you always educate me! What qualifications do you have to teach me? I don't know what the old father likes about you, teaching you the king-level exercises, obviously giving me better, I am better than you!"

He muttered to the end, his emotions could no longer be controlled, and he roared in place, venting his inner dissatisfaction and rage.

After Xiao Ying returned to the Xiao family's compound, he immediately held an all-staff meeting in the courtyard, informing the City Lord's Mansion of the upcoming search, and telling everyone to prepare, hide what should be hidden, and don't talk nonsense about what shouldn't be said.

When speaking, even though Xiao Ying had already tried his best to hide his fright, Yu Zhang still sensed a trace of something wrong from his slight movements and tone.

Xiao Ying held a general meeting, and when he finished evacuating everyone, he found that one person was still staying in place, with no intention of leaving.

The man was dressed in a dark purple costume and of medium stature, and stood casually in the shade of a tree.

Although he didn't seem to have any additional intentions, from the first time Xiao Ying saw him, he knew that things must not be so simple.

Even the head of the family is afraid of three points, in this Xiao family, except for Mo Lao, who has not been seen for a long time, there can only be one person - the young master from the Void Heaven Palace, Yu Zhang.

After seeing that the crowd had almost dispersed, Yu Zhang walked out of the shadow under the tree, came to Xiao Ying, and asked, "How was the meeting in the city going today?"

Facing Yu Zhang, Xiao Ying was not as nervous as facing the city lord, after all, the kind of coercion brought by the city lord was substantial, and the deterrent power given by Yu Zhang was only an ethereal name.

But he still couldn't be lazy, so Xiao Ying truthfully stated what happened in the City Lord's Mansion today, including the fact that he was left alone by the City Lord for questioning at the end.

Xiao Ying also wanted to know, how would Yu Zhang react after hearing this?

Xiao Ying was also wondering what this mysterious young man from the big forces had to do with the massacre that killed and injured nearly 200 people.

However, as a dignified warden, Yu Zhang's management of facial expressions will naturally not be bad, how can he let Xiao Ying simply see it.

After listening to it, Yu Zhang didn't react too much, just like an irrelevant person who listened to an irrelevant boring story, said the word "oh" expressionlessly, and left.

Leave Xiao Ying alone to guess in place.

Xiao Ying originally vaguely felt that the massacre case was inseparable from Yu Zhang, and since the Void Heaven Temple intervened in this city, extraordinary incidents have been one after another.

The first is to make the Xiao family, which was originally only a third-rate small family, become one of the top forces in Gaochuan City, which is full of heroes, and then use the resources given by the Void Heaven Temple to cultivate a young man who can be called the most natural genius in Gaochuan City throughout the ages-Xiao Ju.

Then a few years later, a dignified figure came from the Void Heaven Palace.

As soon as this figure arrived, in a short period of time, there were two major events in Gaochuan City, the first was the rebirth of the former genius and won the name of the hunting competition, and the second was the massacre of hundreds of people who caused a lot of uproar.

"This must not be a coincidence..."Xiao Ying thought in his heart, thinking about the worst-case scenario.

After listening to Xiao Ying's narration, Yu Zhang's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, but his hairs stood up like a fried animal, and he smelled a hint of danger, and his intuition told him that the City Lord's Mansion should have found something.

Immediately decided, Yu Zhang came to Mo Lao's secret room, which was also Mo Lao's personal practice room.

"Mo Lao, I'm Yu Zhang, I have something to discuss with you. Yu Zhang shouted outside the door.

Elder Mo's room is a forbidden place known to everyone in the Xiao family, except for the head of the family and a few respected elders, no one else is allowed to approach it under any circumstances.

However, Yu Zhang's identity is special, no matter how much the guards persuade "Mo Lao is in the critical cultivation period", they can't stop him.

The room was as quiet as death, as if no one was there. But Yu Chang used the life perception ability of the immortal bird to detect that there was indeed a person inside, and this person's aura was strong, far surpassing Xiao Ying, who was at the middle level of the Spirit Sect, and vaguely reached the level of the peak of the Spirit Sect.

"Mo Lao, if you have an urgent matter to discuss, please open the door and see you. ”

Yu Zhang waited for another quarter of an hour, and after a while, the heavy stone door finally opened.

The door was opened by a rickety old man, his face was wrinkled, and his complexion was very dark, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Hehe, it's Young Master Yu, the old man was practicing just now, and he didn't notice the situation outside, so don't blame him. ”

His face was kind, but his tone was full of displeasure at being disturbed.

"Didn't Elder Mo invite me into the house?" Yu Zhang not only did not apologize, but asked.

Mo Lao was stunned for a moment, his anger condensed between his eyebrows, and then he came to his senses and invited Yu Zhang into the house.

After entering the house, Yu Zhang didn't talk much nonsense, and took out a black mist from his arms. The moment this mist appeared, Old Man Mo's heart beat violently.

He felt the terrifying aura contained in this mist, his lips couldn't help but tremble, and he asked, "Young Master Yu, this... This is?"

Yu Zhang didn't answer his question, but swallowed the black mist in one gulp.

"Reception - the source of the black mist. ”

The spiritual power in Yu Zhang's body surged, and the spiritual power in his whole body flowed wildly, and he was pulled out of the dantian without any traces, and came into contact with the black mist swallowed into his body, and had a magical reaction.

A trace of black qi seeped out from the limbs and bones, and wrapped around the body.

Then, from his mouth, nose and ears, thick black smoke also came out, lingering around his head.

Moreover, his hands, feet, and neck showed signs of dissolving, and finally slowly decomposed and disappeared in the black mist. At this time, the limbs, skull, and body were all connected by a black mist, as if they would be disconnected when a strong wind blows.

The whole process didn't take more than half a minute, but it was so terrifying that even Mo Lao, who had gone through the years, saw God and thought that a long time had passed.

In the end, Yu Zhang's whole person turned into a humanoid monster wrapped in a flowing black mist.

"Young Master Yu, what kind of spiritual art is this? It's so amazing, I've lived here for a hundred years, and I've never heard of it, I've never seen it!"

Although the black mist enveloped Yu Zhang's whole body, it still revealed some white and tender skin and facial features.

Yu Zhang's eyes were closed, his breathing was steady, as if he hadn't recovered from the transformation, and naturally he hadn't heard Mo Lao's inquiry.

After another moment, Yu Zhang's eyes slowly opened.

The moment his eyes opened, the entire space in the room froze for a moment, and his eyes were still as deep as ever, and the black pupils seemed to be able to accommodate the stars and night.

As his eyelids slowly opened, the aura emanating from his body also increased at its peak. In the end, he actually surpassed the level of the Spirit King and reached that unimaginable unknown realm.

Spirit Emperor?!Or is it... Spirit Emperor?!

Mo Lao didn't know when he had already knelt down, and the terrifying aura in front of him had already made him unable to control his legs.

He knelt on the ground and looked at Yu Zhang, who was wrapped in black mist, as if he had seen the dark Grim Reaper in advance.

In Mo Lao's eyes, the black mist surrounding Yu Zhang's body was like a raging black flame at this time, setting off the terrifying figure even more amazingly.

"Mo Lao, let me ask you three questions. ”

Yu Zhang's deep and hoarse voice came out of the black fog, and Mo Lao woke up from his distraction, wanting to stand up and answer the question, but found that his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't get up!

He simply knelt on the ground and answered, at this moment, he was shocked by the extremely strong aura, and he had completely forgotten his noble identity and the monster in front of him, which was only a young man of eighteen.

"Yet!
