In the mountains outside the city of Dijiang.

Named after the River that runs through the city, it is also the closest city to Cold Moon City, the capital of the Cold Moon Empire.

At dawn, the sun is still hiding in the haze of morning mist. In the mountains and forests, the trees are luxuriant, the valleys are deep and quiet, the peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist, and a melodious sound of the flute echoes here from time to time, giving people an indescribable comfortable feeling.

In the glade between the forests, wisps of green smoke rose from the burned bonfire.

At this time, Hua Long was sleeping not far from the campfire. I haven't seen him for a year, and he has always worn that small black mask, but after this whole year of training, his whole person has undergone tremendous changes from the inside out, not only does the momentum on his body look more mellow and introverted, but even his cultivation has improved a lot, although he has not yet crossed the threshold of the middle-grade spirit realm, but it is almost the same, and what is missing is just that one opportunity to advance.

And beside him, there are still these two figures at this time, they are friends that Hua Long met during this year's journey, these two are brother and sister, the eldest brother Luo Tian is seventeen years old, and the younger sister Luo Hong is fifteen years old.

Six months ago, the two brothers and sisters encountered danger when dealing with the Red Horse bandits, and it was Hua Long who rescued them, perhaps because they were close in age, or perhaps they were attracted by Hua Long's mystery, and the result became the current relationship.

Both of their brothers and sisters are blonde, but the eldest brother Luo Xiang is flat-headed, wearing gray mercenary armor, he is burly, and his appearance is quite heroic, as for the cultivation, it is not bad, and the weapon is a spear.

Sister Luo Hong and his eldest brother Luo Tian's temper is diametrically opposed, Luo Hong has long blonde hair, fair and smooth skin, handsome facial features are like a weak beautiful girl in the comics, and she is also wearing the kind of tight little windbreaker worn by the nobles when traveling, outlining the convex and backward figure to attract infinite reverie, and the weapon she uses is a sword, and she usually likes to play the flute when she has nothing to do, such as at this time.

In addition to the three of them, under the shade of a tree not far from the clearing, there were more than a hundred bandits with blue noses and swollen faces who had been beaten and sat there with their faces tied with their faces tied in tears.

They are all the people of Feiyun Village, the largest bandit gang in this Emperor River City and even near the capital Cold Moon City.

And these people from Feiyun Village do have a little ability, when Hua Long eliminated one hundred and twenty-seven bandit gangs near the capital, this bandit group called Feiyun Village immediately heard the wind and hid early, which made Hua Long and others' clean-up operations suddenly come to an impasse.

Fortunately, later, from the nearby villager Kouhua Long, I learned that this Feiyunzhai bandit group had not robbed for a long time. According to Hua Long's estimates, the bandit group, which has more than 100 people and belongs to the liquid nature, has been hiding for more than a month, and I am afraid that it should have run out of food a long time ago, so Hua Long designed a scam to lure these guys out of the mountains.

As a result, the hungry idiots actually ran out, and ended up like this, but their leader, Kate Brown, the Empire's third-level most wanted criminal, was not in the camp. Under the pressure of Luo Tian's fist, one of the robbers revealed that their leader had already left the camp for two days, and they did not know where he had gone.

Therefore, after discussion, Hua Long and the others decided to stay in the camp of the bandits and wait for their leader to return.

Maybe he felt that the sun was too dazzling, and Hua Long, who was tired all night, deliberately blocked his eyes with his hands, but the effect was not obvious, but Luo Hong, who was observant, casually threw his beloved hat to Hua Long, seeing his sister so concerned about his actions, Luo Tian was a little worried in his heart, although in his opinion Hua Long and his sister Luo Hong were very compatible, but the identity between them became the biggest obstacle, after all, they were commoners, and Hua Long was a nobleman, although Hua Long himself did not admit it, but he could feel it from Hua Long's every move。

And the intermarriage between commoners and nobles is completely not allowed by the laws of the empire, even if they disclose their cultivation and obtain the status of ordinary nobles, it is difficult to enter the eyes of those real nobles, after all, in their eyes, there is a world of difference between backward nobles and natural nobles, but they will not admit it on the surface.

At this moment, a murderous aura attracted Hua Long's attention, and Luo Tian and Luo Hong quickly noticed the abnormal situation.

"Someone is coming!" Luo Hong put the flute behind him and jumped down from the rock and directly pulled out the matching sword at his waist, while Luo Tian shook the spear in his hand, the atmosphere became tense for a while, and the bandits trapped in the shade of the tree hummed excitedly because of the boss's return.

"Come out, don't hide your head and tail!" Luo Tian, who was anxious, suddenly shouted.

A moment later, in a burst of contemptuous laughter, two men jumped out of the woods, one of them a middle-aged man who was similar to Kate Brown, the most wanted man in the Empire, and it seemed that it was him, but the short man standing next to him did not know who it was.

"Kate, don't you tell me that they're the ones who wiped out the Red Horse bandits?" The short man was in his thirties at most, but he spoke in a very arrogant tone, obviously with some ability.

Kate, who was on the side, looked at the brothers who were trapped on the side, and he nodded affirmatively with a scumbag on his face: "It should be them, otherwise who would dare to deal with our Feiyunzhai bandits!"

The short man suddenly smiled, "In that case, these two guys, are you coming or am I coming?"

"Come on, I'm more interested in that guy!" Kate chuckled softly, stepped out of the way and walked around them, and the "guy" in his mouth was naturally the Hua Long who had not moved on the side.

Therefore, in the next moment, the short man was already fighting with the two siblings, Luo Tian and Luo Hong.

The other side.

"Boy, I heard that people in the empire are looking for you!" Kate ignored the battle situation on the side and walked towards Hua Long, his greedy gaze fell on the Secret Beast Ring in Hua Long's hand: "Don't you feel worried about running back and forth with such a treasure?"

As the leader of the bandit group in Feiyun Village, Kate's news is still very well-informed, since the appearance of this mysterious boy with a black armor mask, the bandit group around the capital has basically disappeared, and people are grateful to this young man and at the same time want to know his true identity, and soon after, this rumor reached the ears of the Emperor of the Cold Moon Empire, perhaps out of interest or perhaps to reward this young man, His Majesty the Emperor sent three barons in a row to find it with a will, but in the end nothing was found.

Therefore, for a while, the identity of this mysterious young man has become the most interesting topic for aristocratic ladies nowadays, and many dreaming girls fantasize about it as the son of a prince and nobleman, or a handsome thief who lives in seclusion in the mountains. In any case, under people's intentional or unintentional rendering, this teenager has become more and more mysterious.

And this mysterious teenager is in front of Kate's eyes at this time.

Hua Long suddenly smiled faintly, ignoring the other party's meaning at all.

"Hmph, little ghost, you're looking for death!" Sensing the other party's disdain, Kate suddenly burst into a rage, and snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, let you see the background of this leader, hum!"

With that, Kate's right hand stretched out suddenly, and the five rings of different colors suddenly stood out in the sunlight.
