Night Dragon City, rain hat street in the south of the city.

The night is like ink, and many places in the city have quieted down, but there are still people coming and going. On both sides of the street, large and small inns are close together, and most of the inns in Night Dragon City are gathered here.

At the end of Rain Cap Street, in a somewhat dark corner, stands an old inn. Because of the long time, this old house is obviously much more dilapidated than other inns, and the place is not big, and there are not many people living there. Above the inn's gate, the words 'Seven Nights Inn' have been mottled, and most of the people who live here are small merchants and wandering adventurers.

Most of the other inns are bustling with people, but the Seven Nights Inn at the end of the street is a little deserted, and in the middle of the night, it is even more deserted.

A down-and-out wandering swordsman came from Rain Cap Street at this time. I saw him in the dust, carrying a shabby package and an ordinary tiger-headed knife, wearing a large hat to protect him from rain and sun, and came to the door of the Seven Nights Inn alone. There were a lot of people coming and going on the streets, but no one looked at him more, and in Night Dragon City, there were more wandering swordsmen like this.

Hong Yuan disguised himself and came to the Seven Nights Inn in the thick of the night.

When the master of the Chu family blocked the city gate and searched for his whereabouts all over the city, he came to the rain hat street, which was the most crowded and chaotic in the city.

Seeing that there was business coming to the door, the shopkeeper quickly greeted him, "This guest officer, do you drink or stay in the hotel?"

"Find someone. Hong Yuan's voice was hoarse.

Hearing that he was looking for someone, the shopkeeper's face was pulled down, and he was about to mumble and turn away, with a few taels of silver in his hand.

"A woman who likes to play the piano, with a coachman wearing a grimace mask. Hong Yuan had already prepared and stuffed a few taels of silver into the shop.

"Guest, you're asking the right person, the two people you said live here and have been living here for a long time. However, they just went out two days ago. The shopkeeper nodded, and his attitude was immediately different with Yinliang.

"Out?"

Hong Yuan frowned, this time he came to the Seven Nights Inn to meet his aunt before going to the Night Demon Stone Forest, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, "Did they say when they would come back?"

"Guest officer, I don't know about this little one. Oh, by the way, they left a package, what do you call it?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Don't give your surname Hong. Hong Yuan replied.

"That's right, guest officer, please wait a moment. ”

The shopkeeper quickly walked into the Seven Nights Inn, took out a package from under the counter and handed it to Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan opened it on the spot, and the package contained some old things sorted out by his aunt Liu Ruyan, some clothes from his childhood, and a landscape painting that his aunt taught him to draw back then. Pressed under his clothes was a letter, with only one line on it, 'The hurricane has passed, and the grass remains.' ’

The shopkeeper hid the silver two in his arms, turned around and left to greet other guests with satisfaction, looking at the package left by his aunt, Hong Yuan was a little distracted, and missed his aunt Liu Ruyan more and more.

"The hurricane is over, and the grass is the only one left, what does my aunt mean by this?"

"She's reminding herself of an unprecedented danger coming, so that she doesn't force her way out?" Or is she counting on something?"

Hong Yuan muttered, folded the letter paper, received the Buddha's ring along with the package, and turned to leave. Came quietly, left quietly, did not alarm anyone, like a wandering swordsman wandering all over the world, did not attract anyone's attention.

Rain Cap Street has a large flow of people and complex personnel, gathering people from all religions and nine streams, and some people even talk about the turmoil caused by Hong Yuan on the side of the road during this time, spreading all kinds of rumors, unaware that Hong Yuan is walking by them. If you look closely, you can even find that the crowd is mixed with the eyes and ears of the Chu family, walking around to various inns to inquire about Hong Yuan's whereabouts, and they contact each other from time to time, and they also don't find that Hong Yuan is around.

After learning the news that Hong Yuan had left the Immortal Temple, the disciples of the Chu family almost poured out, but no one expected that Hong Yuan not only did not go out of the city to the Night Demon Stone Forest, but swaggered around the streets.

After leaving the Seven Nights Inn, Hong Yuan turned around in Night Dragon City and came to the more lively Rouge Lane. The lights here are bright, there are women wearing heavy makeup everywhere, and the air is filled with a strong smell of wine and rouge. Rain Hat Street gathers most of the inns in Night Dragon City, and most of the Qinglou and celebrities that make dignitaries flock to them, most of them are concentrated near Rouge Lane.

Hong Yuan mixed in the crowd and came to a newly opened white fox building, the women here are young and beautiful, not to mention, they are all wearing a chic white fox mask on their faces, wearing a single split robe, and when they walk, they faintly show a pair of long legs, compared with the ordinary Qinglou women who can't wait to wear nothing, they are more attractive than the half-covered and half-hidden. Therefore, although the White Fox Building has just opened, the business is extremely hot.

Seeing Hong Yuan's figure, an old bustard quickly greeted him, and was about to introduce Hong Yuan to the various women of the White Fox Building, when he saw a small bat standing on Hong Yuan's shoulder, he was shocked and quickly took Hong Yuan to the backyard of the White Fox Building, and let Hong Yuan sit down in a study. Soon, the shopkeeper of the White Fox Building, Li Shuiniang, heard the news.

As soon as she entered the door, Li Shui Niang hurriedly closed the door, "My lord, why are you here in person?"

"Let's see how the Night Dragon City branch is going, yes, Lishui Niang, well done"

Hong Yuan looked around, and looked out through the window of the study, and could vaguely see the Buddha King Hall in the Immortal Temple, which was not far from the Immortal Temple.

"It's all the credit of you, the helper, and your subordinates are just running errands. It's not for the sake of adults, Bao Chihu can't do his best to help, without his help, it would be impossible for his subordinates to do such a big business in this expensive Rouge Lane. ”

Speaking of the development of the Night Dragon City Branch, Lishui Niang's eyebrows danced, although she had just gained a foothold, she had already felt the huge charm of Night Dragon City. The flow of people, funds, and the identities of the guests in Rouge Lane are far from being comparable to Broken Leaf City. As long as she has enough time, she is confident that she will build a huge intelligence network in Night Dragon City.

Li Shuiniang didn't be happy for long, thinking of the rumors outside, she quickly became worried about Hong Yuan, "My lord, are you really going to the Night Demon Stone Forest?"

"Yes, I'm going to complete a mission in the Daredevil Stone Forest, so I'll leave right away. Hong Yuan knew what Li Shui Niang was worried about, and said, "Li Shui Niang, what about the things I asked you to prepare, are you ready?"

"Your Excellency, rest assured, everything is ready. ”

Li Shuiniang took a few steps forward, lifted the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and pressed the switch, and the floor suddenly shrank to reveal a huge cellar, which was stacked with boxes of materials, in addition to the black and white peonies that were urgently refined, there were all kinds of weapons, and even poisons.

"My lord, this is a mask specially made for you; this is a triangular spur, you can quickly lay a heavy mechanism if you throw it on the ground, and if you accidentally step on it, it will be a hole; this is the Heavenly Maiden's crossbow, you can shoot eight hundred poisonous needles in an instant by pulling the trigger; this is thyme, which can attract all the poisonous insects within a radius of several miles......" Li Shuiniang opened the wooden boxes one by one and introduced them to Hong Yuan in person.

Some of these weapons and pills were refined by the people and horses of the Night Dragon City Branch Altar led by her, and more were made by Bao Chihu.

Before officially retreating and cultivating the Zhuxian Crossbow, Hong Yuan secretly informed Lishui Niang, asking her to find a way to make these things, and if she could do it herself, she would do it herself, and if she couldn't do it herself, please ask Bao Chihu for help. Before leaving, Ge Hong also sent a lot of good things, but Hong Yuan never passively waited for others to help, and had already secretly made arrangements.

Originally, according to the plan, it was Lishui Niang who found a way to quietly transport things to Hong Yuan in the Immortal Temple, but unexpectedly, Hong Yuan suddenly came to the White Fox Tower in person. Hong Yuan didn't care about himself, but Li Shuiniang was extremely nervous, worried that the disciples of the Chu family would find out Hong Yuan's whereabouts.

"Yes, thank you Bao Chihu for me. ”

Hong Yuan nodded and received everything into the Buddha's ring. Bao Chihu is old, his cultivation achievements are limited, it is difficult to comprehend the profound exercises, and he can't learn the master's unique knowledge, but in terms of the mechanism array, he is definitely a once-in-a-century master. The mask he made with his own hands was more realistic than the human skin mask.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates know how to do it. ”

Lishui Niang is exquisite, of course she knows how to deepen her relationship with Bao Chihu, what she is worried about is Hong Yuan, "My lord, Chu Tianyang's subordinates already know." I heard that Chu Yannan was furious, not only summoned all the Chu family masters who had been training outside, but also secretly promised a rich reward for your head, and many alliance masters who had not shown up for a long time were moved when they heard this. My lord, do you have to go to the Daredevil Stone Forest?"

"Definitely. ”

Hong Yuan replied without the slightest hesitation.

The interception and revenge of the Chu family had long been expected by him, and he knew that this trip to the Night Demon Stone Forest would definitely not be easy, so he had made full preparations early. As soon as his mind moved, a vampire bat flew from the darkness, entered directly through the window, and instantly transformed into a human form when he landed.

The Blood Bat King has arrived, and he has been waiting in the dark for a long time.

"Hong Ba, are you ready?" asked Hong Yuan.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, everything is ready, and the army is already waiting outside the city. ”

The Blood Bat King became more and more capable, hesitated for a while, and said, "Zhu Wuji came from the Pig King Temple in the Endless Abyss and met outside the city, and Hong Python also came from the Black Python Mountain. ”

"His injuries are very serious, and his vitality is far from recovering, why is he here?" Hong Yuan frowned.

Among the many powerful war pets, Hong Python has the strongest combat effectiveness, but it is also the most seriously injured. In order to avoid leaving irreparable wounds, Hong Yuan was not prepared to call Hong Python at all during this operation, intending to let him heal with peace of mind.

"The subordinates have repeatedly emphasized the orders of the adults, but that big snake is even more ferocious than the pig demon Zhu Wuji!"

The Blood Bat King smiled bitterly, he commanded the army of war pets with ease, but Hong Python and Zhu Wuji, the two super demon beasts, would not listen to him for everything, except for Hong Yuan, no one could make the two of them obey.

"That's it, it's not too early, let's go!"

Hong Yuan put on a mask specially made for himself by Bao Chihu, and Qiao Zhuang became a middle-aged wandering swordsman with a face full of vicissitudes, and led the Blood Bat King to fly away.

"Take care, my lord!"

Li Shuiniang bowed and saluted, and when she raised her head, Hong Yuan was gone, and the cellar that was originally full was empty, and everything was taken away by Hong Yuan.
