Datang, Chang'an.

Chang'an has a long history, dating back to the ancient times before the New Era.

In the era of the Great Zhou Heavenly Court, Chang'an existed as the capital of the Great Zhou, and there were as many as 16 large-scale expansions recorded, each of which doubled the area of Chang'an. In the Dark Ages of the Terran Race, although Chang'an was ravaged, it remained largely intact.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an became the capital of the Tang Dynasty. After tens of thousands of years of continuous rest and expansion of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an's prosperity has far exceeded any period in history.

Today's Chang'an, more than 3,000 miles longitudinal, has three major districts of the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city, and is carefully divided into one hundred and eight neighborhoods of all sizes. In the majestic city of Chang'an, the population is as high as 3 billion, not counting the various black people who do not have a hukou.

The walls of Chang'an are as black as ink, and they are full of mottled marks. The majestic walls are like a moat, which is intimidating.

Because of the huge area of Chang'an, there are a total of 108 city gates, including 6 city gates for the army to act, and 4 city gates for foreign envoys to enter the city. Compared with other gates, the guards of these gates are the most leisurely, because the Tang Dynasty has rarely used these gates in recent years, especially the gates for the army, which have not been opened for many years.

It's just that recently, these originally lazy city gate guards are worried one by one and can't feel at ease.

The 100-meter-high bronze city gate stands majestically, like an indestructible mountain cliff. Under the huge city gate, there are hundreds of guards guarding it around the clock.

In an inconspicuous corner of the city gate, several figures leaned cautiously together, chatting and gossiping.

"You say, 'Is this evil or not?' Commander Zhang was fine yesterday, but he became a walking dead when he changed shifts today. A middle-aged strong man with a beard with a cautious face, looked left and right as he spoke, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Commander Zhang was taken by someone. ”

"Hey, it can't be. Commander Zhang is a powerful person in the realm of eternal giants, and he didn't leave the city defense area yesterday, and has been keeping vigil here. Who has the ability to infiltrate our military camp and unknowingly take the soul of an ancient giant? ”

"Isn't it, even the guard who kept vigil yesterday didn't notice anything unusual. If it weren't for today's shift change, everyone wouldn't know that Commander Zhang had an accident. ”

"Hey, when you say that, I think of something. As you remember, there's been a lot of this going on in the city lately. Let's not talk about the distance, just the owner of the Forging Treasure Pavilion in the Dongfang neighborhood not far from our city gate seems to have been taken away by someone. I heard that even the bad guys haven't been found out, and it's been a few days, and there is no result. ”

"Li, Brother Li, when you say that, it seems that this is really the case. But I feel so cold. A young guard shuddered as he said with a look of horror on his face.

The beard turned his head amusedly, and was about to tease the young man, when his eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.

I saw that in the wall of the city wall behind several people, out of nowhere, a black chain with a scythe the thickness of an arm came out. At this time, the mysterious sickle had been deeply inserted into the young man's body, but the most strange thing was that he didn't even notice it at all!

The beard was stunned for a moment, and then shouted heartbreakingly: "Someone, something happened!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, martial law was placed at the city gates.

Several servants surrounded the young man's body, and after inspecting it, they all frowned and shook their heads: "The soul is out of the body, and the situation is exactly the same as before. ”

Not far away, a senior general in silver armor had a gloomy face, and his mood was simply terrible.

First, he lost a high-ranking general of an ancient giant for no reason, and now someone has lost his soul in broad daylight. He couldn't imagine what would happen if things were allowed to continue to deteriorate. The problem that bothered him the most was the successive tragedies in the defense area, so that he didn't know how to explain to the above.

The general said coldly: "Have you ever asked about it?" ”

A tall and unscrupulous man with a strangely colored mask on his face said in a deep voice: "They have fully confessed that a chain peeked out of the city wall and stole the soul. After repeated testing, they were not lying. And this is also the most troublesome thing. ”

The bad guy said, walking towards the wall of the city wall that a few people had mentioned, but he didn't even sense the slightest abnormality.

"A chain sticking out of the walls!" The general's brow furrowed, and his face was full of disbelief.

The walls of Chang'an City are integrated, and the materials are so strong that even holy weapons cannot be broken, how can there be chains poking out of the city walls?

"That's exactly what happened, but we can't say for sure if they saw a vision." The bad guy shook his head slightly and sighed lightly.

Over the years, thousands of soulless creatures have been lost in Chang'an City.

However, it couldn't come out a few times a year before, and most of them were ordinary people, so it didn't attract much attention. After all, where there is light, there must be darkness. On the dark side of Chang'an City, there are unliquidated killings going on every day, and who knows if there is an ignorant newcomer who has not finished well.

But recently, more than a dozen people have lost their souls every month, and there is no shortage of masters who have cultivated well. For example, the commander of the city gate who was taken away from his soul last night is a powerhouse of the eternal giants.

It was only at this time that they realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Damn." The general scolded with hatred on his face, and although he was very angry in his heart, he did not say anything more. Things have happened, the most important thing is to figure out what really happened as soon as possible, useless anger will not solve the problem.

However, everyone didn't notice that a small panda-like beast that was only a foot tall came to them as if no one was in a strange place, looked at the wall that was not abnormal, and muttered and turned away: "Cut, let that cunning guy escape again." Hmph, but if you want to escape from the palm of my hand, you're still a little tender. ”

Palace.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Li Chengqian received the news from the city gate, and roared with anger on his face: "What are you all doing to eat, the commander of the ancient giants, no one noticed that he was killed on duty!" ”

The general and the others knelt in the main hall, trembling and not daring to defend.

"Give this king an answer in a month, a month, or you will do it yourself." Li Chengqian had a cold face and waved his sleeves angrily.

"Whoa." Everyone hurriedly answered, and then bowed and left the main hall. It wasn't until they were completely out of the main hall that they dared to straighten up. When everyone left, the anger on Li Chengqian's face dissipated, and he was as calm as a robot, and he couldn't see the angry roar just now.

His eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the blue sky outside the window.

Hey, that's a problem.

The unknown of the Holy Stone Mountain is at least a powerhouse in the Void Immortal Realm, and it is not so easy to deal with the enemies of this realm. What's more, the other party has infiltrated Chang'an, and it is even more difficult to solve the other party without hurting Datang's roots.

Perhaps, I can only go and ask to see my father.

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "Swing, this king is going to Xuanhuang Palace." ”
