Chapter 229: A Hundred Years of Old Things

Xie Man'er and Qin Hao were so excited to shuttle quickly in mid-air dozens of feet above the ground... Occasionally, there were soldiers of the Holy City patrolling the ground, and they only saw a phantom thing flash overhead... After wiping my eyes and looking at it again, I thought I was too tired and encountered a delusion...

No one really noticed the colorful dragon in the sky and the cheering beetle on his back.

Although the Holy City is the residence of the saint and the demon saint of the demon clan, it is also the center of the entire demon clan... If you talk about the concentration of aura, it must be the first class of the entire demon clan... But in terms of size alone, it can't even be compared with some middle ethnic groups.

After just over a quarter of an hour, the two of them had already seen the edge of the Holy City not far in front of them.

Not only Qin Hao's eyes, but even Xie Man'er's eyes revealed a burst of curious light, and Xiao Kou said in surprise:

"Wow, we're on the edge of the Holy City! I haven't seen it once!"

After hearing the exclamation of the dragon that Qin Hao had transformed, he asked in a loud voice:

"Man'er, haven't you ever been to the edge of the Holy City once?

Xie Man'er stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly:

"When I came out of the Snake Clan with my father and moved into the Holy City, I was still young... And he didn't transform and his strength was low, he was escorted by the queen mother all the way to live in a tower not far from the temple... And then in order to be able to transform as soon as possible, I haven't had the leisure to go out and shop... Until that time..."

Speaking of this, Man'er's expression suddenly became extremely sad and regretful:

"Because my father forbade me to leave the central part of the Holy City for my safety, about a hundred years ago... I didn't have much of a gap in cultivation from the transformation, and I sneaked out while my father was drinking with a friend... I want to see what it's like to go to a place that my dad never let me go. ”

"However, my low strength did not grow the wings that only adult beetles snake clans have, and it took me a long time to get out of the scope of my normal life and approach the area on the edge of the Holy City... It was then that the Holy City was suddenly attacked by the Assassins..."

Qin Hao flew to the top of a mountain with Xie Man'er, and after transforming into a human form, he helped her sit down, and then heard Xie Man'er say softly:

"These Assassins are clad in a strange robe that conceals their aura, and the place they chose to sneak in is the same place where I slipped away... When they met me, they thought it was a snake in the mountains... I was so scared that I turned around and ran back in the direction of the temple with all my might. ”

When Man'er said this, she couldn't help but tremble all over her body, with a look of fear on her face:

"The Assassins who were going to spare me saw the difference between me at a glance... One of them let out a piercing scream and rushed at me... Now that I think about it, his cultivation must have the strength of the high-level of the Immortal Rank... In just a split second, it crossed a long distance... I can still remember that he had a strange inky sword in his hand... The long sword has a strange shape, the sword body twists and turns like an old tree root, and it reveals a thick cold and evil aura... When it came close to me, I felt as if I was frozen, and I couldn't move..."

Qin Hao listened to Xie Man'er's description, and his eyes couldn't help but show a nervous look, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Then what happened at this time? Could it be that the Demon Saint sensed it and rushed over to save you?"

He shook his head, the sadness in his eyes was even stronger, and he recognized the impulse to weep and said:

"When the man was about to take me... My queen mother suddenly rushed out from behind me and stopped him... At that time, I knew that the queen mother had been following me to protect me, and I naively thought that I had avoided the detection of my father and mother... Although the queen mother's strength is also very high, after all, she is no match for more than ten times the enemy, and she is almost the same as her... She saved the Assassins with her life, and told me to hurry back to Daddy... Whining... At that time, I really threw away my mother and ran away... I can still recall the sinister smile of the group of assassins behind me when they killed the queen mother... Woo!"

When she said this, she finally couldn't help crying, she threw herself into Qin Hao's arms, venting all the pain and regret in her heart for countless years, and stopped crying after a while.

Qin Hao vigorously hugged the trembling Beetle Man'er into his arms, and comforted her softly... After Man'er's mood calmed down, she continued:

"After the assassins killed my mother, they played tricks on me, deliberately slowing down whenever they were about to catch up with me... At that time, I was so terrified that I didn't realize that they were using me as bait... When I was escaping, there were soldiers and demon courtiers who supported my father to come to the rescue... However, they were all killed by them like the queen mother... They're just too strong... The strongest of them even faintly approached Daddy's strength, and I just ran all the way to the vicinity of the temple..."

There was an incomparably hateful look in the eyes of the beetle man:

"On the way, I kept calling him with the concentric jade that my father left me, but I never got a response... It wasn't until I got to the temple that I realized... Daddy's drinking buddy turned into an assassin in a black robe... And his strength has reached the Holy Rank, the same level as his father... It was because of him that my father couldn't take time to rescue me and the queen mother, so that the queen mother and so many soldiers and courtiers who guarded the holy city were brutally killed by them!"

Beetle snuggled in Qin Hao's arms, and continued to narrate:

"Although that Saint-level assassin's cultivation level is about the same as that of Daddy, he still can't tell the winner in a short period of time... After meeting up with the Assassins who were chasing me... Suddenly, they laid out a strange formation... Absorbed all the blood of all the people they killed and incorporated it into their bodies... And then they seem to have the strength of the three points they used to be... Even the two people who were originally not as strong as their father broke out with the power of the Holy Rank in a short period of time... And the assassin who was originally on par with his father even beat his father with a direct punch and vomited blood...
