Chapter 8: Someone from the Royal City
The two continued to grope at the foot of the mountain, and if they really found something terrible, they would evacuate with the villagers as soon as possible.
"Since there are ancient beasts infested, something big must have happened in this area, otherwise it will not attract a strange beast of this level to dispatch, and it will continue to sleep. ”
Shang Zhan carefully looked for some clues here, hoping to deduce part of the truth through these, but found nothing, without the slightest trace that Shen Tengyun had seen before, as if Shen Tengyun had experienced an illusion before.
"I can be sure that what I see and hear is real, that it does exist, and that it is not an illusion. Shen Tengyun's eyes were firm, whether it was the roar of the beast that shook like a drum in the sky, or the remains of fierce beasts everywhere, he could be sure that it was indeed what he had seen and heard with his own eyes.
Shang Zhan said that he absolutely believed in Shen Tengyun, because if the creator of the inner realm that Shen Tengyun entered was really deliberately hidden, he didn't want to be discovered, and he couldn't feel it if he didn't reach a certain realm, and he just wanted to try his luck here, and the most important thing was that he didn't believe that everything in ancient times would just disappear in the years, Huashan is a good example, after all, Kyushu, which was once so glorious, has many strong people, and the gods coexist, and some existences are so powerful that the gods can respect together, enough to make the heavens and the earth tremble, even if the gods war is no matter how tragic it is, it will not die out, there must be some dormant, waiting for the opportunity to rise, if his conjecture is true, Taihua Village, including the whole of Kyushu, must also have the possibility of rising again.
At this moment, in a hidden courtyard in the royal city of Yongzhou, thousands of miles away, an old man is frowning, facing a starry sky map, trying to calculate something with a tortoise shell, the guards on the side know that the old man has been sleepless for many days, until noon, the old man slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was tired, but he let out a long breath.
"Zhang Shensuan, it's hard work, but there is a result?"
A feminine middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the courtyard, all the guards knelt down and saluted when they saw this, the man's robe was folded and fanned, the scribe was dressed, his face was clear, his body was thin, his temples were a little gray, he looked like a middle-aged scholar, but judging from the fact that he could freely enter and leave this secret courtyard and the performance of those subordinates, this person's status was really not low
"There is, at the foot of Huashan, Taihua Village. Zhang Shensuan said slowly, because the energy consumption was too great, and his tone was already very weak.
"After a few days of sleepless work, and a whole night of deduction, I immediately ordered someone to prepare a bath water and a good wing room for you, so you can have a good rest. ”
The middle-aged man whispered, his tone was the same as his own, a little feminine, but his smile had a hint of cruelty, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"You are from the same school as him, why are you forced to come here," the old man sighed.
"What did the god say, I was also acting on the orders of the king, to find Xiao Zhan, after all, it was also a powerful combat force in my royal city, if it disappeared, it would be a big loss to my Yongzhou royal city" The middle-aged man smiled, and the corners of his mouth still had a trace of ruthlessness.
"If you don't want to kill them all and get rid of them as soon as possible, why did you take advantage of the king's retreat to put my family under house arrest here, forcing me to deduce his location, and find him out before the king's retreat?"
"Zhang Shensuan, since you only want the safety of the family, you should understand that there are some things that you say too much, and if you know more, you will be killed, you just need to keep your mouth shut, I should protect the safety of your family, and thank you for doing this for me" The feminine man bowed to Zhang Shensuan, and then said to the guards beside him, "Send Zhang Shensuan back to the room, so that you can entertain you"
After a long time, the temperature in the courtyard plummeted, the air became very cold, the middle-aged man's eyes became more and more vicious and fierce, and his mood changed enough to affect the surrounding environment, he sneered, "Seven years, seven years, I didn't expect you to hide in such a dilapidated village, even I ignored it, Xiao Zhan, there is really you." ”
"Let Xiangdong go to the village to investigate first, and after I meet the king, I will come to Taihua Village in person. The man gave orders to the guards around him, his tone was cold, and then he looked in the direction of Huashan and sneered: "Xiao Zhan, you must let me down" After saying that, he disappeared like a ghost.
Dongshan City, located in a town hundreds of miles away from Taihua Village, is much lower than Yongzhou Wangcheng in terms of scale and its prosperity, there is no building built by natural materials and earth, there is no magnificent palace, but it is the largest town around the entire Huashan Mountains, and is directly ordered by Wangcheng, responsible for exploring the changes near Huashan, and guarding this area.
There are many monks in the city, but most of them are mortals, after all, Kyushu is still in the recovery period, the aura is thin, and the avenue is incomplete, if everyone is really a monk, it is not normal.
However, the physique of the mortals in the town must be higher than that of the people in the surrounding villages, and the monks in the city can attract the essence of heaven and earth to gather, so that the essence of the city is much richer than that of the outside world, and the breath can be refreshing, and the body is subtly strengthened, there is no need to rely on the most primitive methods like the villagers in Taihua Village, and they have to fight for the lives of the beasts at every turn.
The city lord of Dongshan City, named Xiang Dong, has been in retreat and practice all year round, and rarely comes out to walk around, but today he took his subordinates and personally went to the city gate early in the morning to greet the two envoys in the royal city.
"Whew"
The wolf's howl resounded throughout the sky and spread throughout Dongshan City, making people tremble, and some children were directly frightened and cried, hiding in the arms of adults.
A murderous aura rushed towards the city gate, and the two envoys were wearing silver armor, and even their faces were wrapped in armor, and their true faces could not be seen, only two pairs of ruthless pupils could be seen, which were even more indifferent than the gaze of the blood shadow wolf under their crotch.
The two blood shadow wolves are also mutant beasts, their bodies are red, and there are three bone spurs on each side of their bodies, the bone spurs are sharp, each of which is enough to pierce a boulder weighing thousands of catties, and the two fangs of the wolf's head are even more terrifying, and they are still dripping with blood, obviously they have just devoured some creatures.
Xiang Dong cultivated to a high level, beyond the Dawn Realm, in the entire town belongs to the invincible existence, but now to see the two envoys from the royal city also have to be respectful, respectfully invite them into the city, these two people he has seen, is "that adult" of the subordinate, killing people without blinking, in the entire Yongzhou has a certain reputation of murder, plus the two of them came with the order of "that adult", the identity is more noble, if they accidentally provoke them unhappy, the entire Dongshan City will have a big disaster.
The two envoys glanced at Xiang Dong, and said indifferently: "On the orders of Lord Wang, I will go to Taihua Village tomorrow" After finishing speaking, they stopped making a sound, and were stingy to say one more word.
"Taihua Village, that declining village, dare to ask the two envoys what they are doing there" asked one of the young men in the team, a little puzzled, and the others immediately looked at the two envoys in horror, and at the same time motioned to the young man with his eyes to tell him not to say more.
"Shut up!" Xiang Dong scolded on the spot, but it was too late, an envoy pointed out, blood flashed, and the young man's forehead bone was directly pierced, and he died on the spot, without spilling a drop of blood.
Everyone was terrified, although they had heard of the murderous reputation of the two of them for killing people without blinking, they couldn't imagine that they would be so ruthless and ruthless, and they would have to pay the price of their lives if they said the wrong word.
The young man on the ground is not weak among the crowd, although he is not very old, he has been in the Dawn Realm for many years, and he is considered to be highly talented, but now he was killed in an instant, turned into a corpse, his eyes were hollow, his mouth was wide open, and the finger hole on his forehead was still bubbling with blood, and he didn't understand why he was killed until he died.
The two messengers still looked indifferently, and did not look at the corpse more, and did not have the slightest fluctuation of emotion about what had just happened, as if they were not killing someone, but as if they were stepping on an ant to death.
One of the envoys glanced at everyone and said coldly: "It seems that Dongshan City is now far away from the emperor of the sky, and he is used to it, and he is connected to the order of Lord Wang, and he is only allowed to obey, and he is not allowed to ask, so the most basic rules have been forgotten." ”
"Don't dare, this kid is new, he doesn't understand the rules, I hope the two of you don't want to be angry again, we must follow the order" Xiang Dong hurriedly explained, for the young man's death, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, although he was more optimistic about this young man, but the two envoys cultivated above him, and their identities were special, there was no need to offend these two people for a junior who was just favored by him.
"This is the best, you are ready to set off immediately with me, and the others don't have to go, there is no need to work for this kind of village" After saying that, he directly turned into two silver lights and left, going to the resting place that had been arranged, the blood shadow wolf roared under his crotch, and the wind was blowing on all fours, rolling up dust and smoke more than ten meters high.
