In the Yisang Palace, Shan Huaiyan sat on top of the court, playing with an ancient scroll. Two charmers stood on the left and right, one wearing a pair of handguard blades on his wrist and one with a thin iron rope wrapped around his waist. Xi stood at the bottom of the hall, wearing a ghost mask, but not wearing a clawless one. On both sides of the court, the armored soldiers stood solemnly, the iron helmet flashed with a cold metal light, the steel knife was tucked away in the scabbard, and a huge axe was behind him. Under the armor, the soldiers' bodies stiffened, their eyes stared blankly ahead, and the afterglow unconsciously aimed at Xi.

After a while, Shan Huaiyan put down the scroll and said, "Envoy Xi." ”

Xi took a step forward, and the two columns of armor soldiers were actually a little flustered when they saw this, and some of the hands with poor concentration had already put on the hilt of the knife.

Xi glanced at them contemptuously, knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

"You managed to bring back that fragment of Jingchuan, and I am very satisfied. Do you know how many fragments are left out there right now?"

"Your Majesty, there is only one volume left. My informant has already heard that the last volume will be available soon. ”

"Although you brought back the fragment of Jingchuan, the remnants of the night still escaped outside. Shan Huai's eyes turned cold, "You know, without the remnant night, it is useless to obtain the scroll! Gan Sheng and the remnant night appeared in Shaoyang, but you failed to bring people back!"

"Your Majesty, I can't deal with the last soldier and the remnant of the night at the same time, let alone have a crane watching from the sidelines. Xi raised her head, and there was no evasion in her tone.

Seeing Xi's unusual behavior, the charm general with an iron rope wrapped around his waist swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cold sweat broke out in his palm, and he was silently worried about his boss in his heart. Under the ghost mask, the charm general wearing the gauntlet blade sneered. Shan Huaiyan's face became even more gloomy, and he said sharply: "You promised me when you set out that you would bring the scroll back with the night. Don't forget how Remnant Night escaped at the time, if you hadn't asked the Falcon to take Remnant Night to Shaoyang to spy on it, how could it have been robbed by Gan Sheng!"

"Then Your Majesty should blame the Falcon, if it weren't for his incompetence, how could he let a prodigy snatch the key. Xi seems to have forgotten the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger".

"You!" The charm general wearing the gauntlet blade couldn't help but take half a step forward, glanced at Shan Huaiyan with a gloomy face, and retreated silently, "Hmph, if Gan Sheng is just an artist, how did the face of the envoy hurt Xi?"

"Oh, I think you know a lot, how did you know about me before I joined the Charm Division?" Xi asked in a teasing tone, touching the ghost mask on her face.

The falcon was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was speechless, and stood aside honestly, not daring to look at Shan Huaiyan again.

"It's your idea to let the Falcon go to Shaoyang with the remnants of the night!" Shan Huaiyan's face became more and more ugly, "I didn't punish you for your sin at that time, I gave you a chance to make amends, and now you have disappointed me." ”

"But didn't Your Majesty agree to this idea at that time?" said Xi, who slowly stood up.

"Presumptuous!"

The charm wrapped around the thin iron rope was taken aback by Xi's actions, and she was anxious for Xi's recklessness in her heart, but she didn't dare to make any moves. The falcon was also frightened on the side, and at the same time his throat was dry, he sneered in his heart: Is this guy looking for death tonight?

Ignoring the emperor's anger at all, Xi turned around and walked outside the palace, saying, "Farewell to Your Majesty tonight, tomorrow I will leave Yisang to deal with the last scroll." ”

"Did I let you go?" Shan Huai laughed angrily. The armor soldiers on both sides immediately surrounded him, and the steel knife stood in front of Xi, blocking the way. Without the slightest pause, Xi turned into an ethereal black shadow, passed directly through the blade, and immediately condensed into a human form again, swaggering away from the palace. The soldiers looked at each other and looked at Shan Huaiyan. Shan Huaiyan's face was dark and blue, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers retreated like a tide.

"This guy is too presumptuous!" Seeing that Shan Huaiyan didn't speak, Falcon took the opportunity to say on the side.

The charm general wrapped around the thin iron rope hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, today's offense must not be the intention of the envoy. Over the years, the credit of the envoy has been shared by everyone······"

"Enough. Shan Huai interrupted the charm general's words and turned his head to look at him, "Xiu, let you come with the Falcon today, you should understand my appreciation for you, but don't ruin your future for some senseless emotions." ”

Hearing this, Xiu was stunned for a moment, and understood that Xi might be more than lucky, and replied: "Yes." ”

Then, Shan Huaiyan looked at the Falcon again, and said with a smile: "Falcon you know a lot. After stepping down from the position of the Supreme Envoy for so long, have you even forgotten to keep it a secret?"

The Falcon broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and you know your mistakes. ”

"Forget it, you go to the Soul Tower and let Ling Chuyi do it. I don't want to see Xi the next day, and besides, don't leave it behind. ”

"Yes. Hearing this, there was a hint of excitement in the eyes of the Falcon Ghost under the mask.

"But, Your Majesty, there is still a fragment. Otherwise, wait until the fragments are collected before dealing with the matter of the envoy Xi. ”

"Late is a change. Shan Huaiyan was unmoved, "You are the two people I admire the most in the charm department now. After dealing with Xi's affairs, the task of the fragment will be handed over to the two of you, and whoever can retrieve the last fragment will be the new envoy of the Charm Department. ”

"Yes. ”

There is a tall tower in the east of Yisang City, the whole body is black, the tower is divided into ten layers, and the charm tower of the west city echoes each other. But the tower is enclosed and does not have a central patio like the Meizu Tower. No one knows the name of this tower, let alone what it is used for, only that it is heavily defended. The citizens privately called it the Ghost Tower, which corresponded to the Charm Tower of the West Side. Neither the Ministry of Government, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Justice, nor the Ministry of Charm can find any information about this tower, but these two words can be found in the documents stored in the Treasury of the National Privy Treasury: Soul Tower.

The structure of the Soul Tower is simple, with only one staircase, and the upper and lower entrances of each floor are located at each end of this floor. That is, every time you go up and down a staircase, you have to cross one floor, being exposed to all the guards. Each floor was small in size, except for the staircase entrance, there was only a dimly lit hall, illuminated by a few glowing beads, and in the center of the hall was a huge cage.

There was no moon tonight, and the Falcon came to the Soul Tower with two Praetorian Guard soldiers. The guardian held Chang Ge across in front of them, and the Falcon handed out a dragon card, and the guardian took it and looked at it carefully before returning it, putting it away and letting him go.

There was only an empty cage on the seventh floor of the Soul Tower, and a middle-aged man was imprisoned on the eighth floor. The man sat cross-legged in the center of the cage, his hands clenched, condensed into a purple ball of light in his palm, and purple light flashed on his forehead. A purple mist of light filled his surroundings, and figures appeared in the mist. One of the figures had the same appearance as him, and it was the life of his soul puppet in the outside world. The man's face was covered with uneven stubble, his long withered hair was scattered behind him, and his skin was pale from the lack of sunlight for many years, and blood under his skin was faintly visible. As if hearing the sound of the three Falcon going upstairs, the man slowly opened his bloodshot eyes, his eyes fierce like a wolf being chased to a desperate situation.

"Falcon !!" the man roared, blood oozing from between his teeth. The terrible cry echoed in the corridors of the Soul Tower, and the Falcon ignored it and continued to walk upward, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers who followed behind the Falcon to the left slowed down and glanced back in the direction of the man, his eyes under the iron mask full of shock and awe.

The ninth-level cage was also filled with a purple mist, and in it was a young man with a knife-like face, delicate eyebrows, and a row of shaved blue hair. Although the clothes were dirty, they were very neat. There were dull green scales on the sides of his cheeks, and he looked very strange and terrifying. Hearing the footsteps of the falcon and the others, the young man opened his eyes and calmly watched the three of them walk by. The pupils of his eyes were golden yellow mixed with some crystal black dots, and the pupils were in a black line, like a lizard and a snake. The soldier who had been looking back on the eighth floor looked at the young man again, and when the two met their eyes, the soldier immediately turned his head away. The young man blinked, without any expression on his face.

"Look at what!" the guard tapped the cage in front of the young man with his scabbard.

The young man turned his head to look at the guard, without blinking his eyes, grinning stiffly, revealing a mouth full of tiny fangs, and said, "When I go out, I will repay you well." ”

"Okay, I'll wait. The guard smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.

"Rest assured, soon. The young man closed his eyes and muttered.
