"This is it, from here the Nether is the imperial city of the Tengqi Empire. We are ordered to guard the entrances to the heavenly and lower realms, and if we can't leave here, we won't be far away. General please!"

It had been a few days since they reached the junction between the Heavenly Realm and the Nether Realm, and after these soldiers had pointed out the direction to Zhao Yulong, they stopped talking.

But this is nothing for Zhao Yulong, after all, he can't always rely on others to guide him. Especially now that he is a general, if he needs the help of others even for such a trivial matter, then the 300,000 troops in the future will not be led.

Anyway, the other party told me the general direction, and the others can be found slowly. Therefore, at this time, he turned his head to the students behind him and said, "Get closer, the teleportation circle leading to the Nether is not large, there are many of us, and one teleportation needs to be squeezed." โ€

I saw hundreds of students crowded into an open space, releasing the soul power in their bodies. A white light was seen, and everyone disappeared into the clearing.

For such a situation, Zhao Yulong was not surprised, after all, this teleportation array had been used a few times, to say the least. But those students were surprised that they had never seen it, and now they were noisy.

Fortunately, they are all big and small people, and there is no incident, but with them, Zhao Yulong always feels more troublesome than letting him investigate this matter alone. These students not only seem to be unhelpful, but may even be unhelpful.

But they were all brought out, and there was no reason to leave them behind, and at least nothing would happen with them now. However, this teleportation array is well positioned, and now the Imperial City is in front of it, saving a lot of time.

"Let's go in!" Looking at the sturdy city wall in front of him, Zhao Yulong walked in front of the team.

Sure enough, the central area of the continent is different, the aura here is strong, the country is prosperous, and the city walls are also very strong, at least the city walls of the Dragon Kingdom are not comparable to here. And there is no way to compare the Tongtian Emperor Kingdom ruled by Zhao Yulong before here.

When I was young, I still thought it was huge in the Imperial Kingdom of Tongten, but now it seems that the so-called strong country back then was just a weak country that could be easily defeated.

Not to mention the imperial kingdom, even the seemingly glorious Tengqi Empire in front of him can't enter Zhao Yulong's eyes now. Although he was indeed magnificent, it was inevitably much worse than the buildings of the Celestial Clan.

Walking quickly into the city, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop them. When I arrived at the palace, I saw that the palace in front of me was magnificent enough, and the agate jewelry realm was just a decoration on the pillars. In this way, it can be seen that the extravagance of this Tengqi Empire.

However, for Zhao Yulong, what he really cares about is such a powerful country, why no one can solve the problem of missing people.

It is estimated that he received a notice in advance, the emperor was already standing outside the palace at this time, and when he saw Zhao Yulong, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside, the little emperor is the emperor of this empire, and I heard that the great immortals are coming today, so I came to greet him." โ€

Obviously, in the eyes of these Terrans in the Nether Realm, the Celestial Race is a god-like existence. And as an emperor, he has no stake in front of everyone now.

In the face of such an emperor, Zhao Yulong didn't say much, because he knew that he would encounter many more in the future: "Daxian is not counted, we are just another kind of people." It's about the missing genius in your country, and I'm very concerned about it, and I'm here to learn something from you. โ€

The palace was not far from the door, and after walking for a short time, they entered the main hall, and although the emperor had instructed the guards to prepare the seats, most of them were still standing because there were too many students who came.

However, the emperor sat down not too restrained: "The situation here, maybe you immortals have heard about it, we have people missing here every day." And a lot of them are already adults, and they can't get lost or anything. On top of that, their disappearances all happened in a very short period of time. I've sent people to investigate, but nothing has been found. In the past, the Celestial Realm also sent people, but then they all disappeared. โ€

Zhao Yulong: "This is the same as what I heard in the Heavenly Realm, is there any news I haven't heard." For example, when did people start going missing, or what was there at the scene of the disappearance?"

"This ......" the emperor didn't know how to answer for a long time: "The little emperor doesn't know anything! It's better to let the national teacher answer, I asked him to investigate this matter, and he should be more aware of this." โ€

After speaking, he sent a guard out to invite the national teacher. Obviously, in the Tengqi Empire, the status of the national teacher should not be low, otherwise the emperor would not have said the word please.

However, the shelf of the national teacher was quite large, and everyone waited in the palace for a while, but they did not see him coming. The emperor also asked the guards around him to urge again and again, and only then did he find this national teacher.

For some reason, Zhao Yulong always had a feeling of rejection when he saw this national teacher, and felt that he didn't look like a good person. It's not because of his appearance, but the kind of temperament that exudes around his body makes Zhao Yulong feel that he doesn't look like a decent gentleman.

Therefore, he has an extra eye for this national teacher, and he is on guard everywhere. Fortunately, he didn't do anything, but walked in front of the emperor: "I don't know why the emperor asked the old minister to come?"

The emperor ignored the arrogance of the national teacher and pointed his finger at Zhao Yulong: "These are the immortals from the Heavenly Clan, and they want to investigate the disappearance of our genius here. I can't answer any of these questions, you happen to be investigating, tell them a thing or two!"

"Okay!" the national teacher replied slowly, and only now did he turn to Zhao Yulong and say, "The first person to go missing is the little prince of the Prince's Mansion, who disappeared on the shore of Qianbo Lake at two o'clock in the afternoon on the hot day of the Thermidor ten years ago. No one was present at the time, and no one knew how he disappeared. Even the disappearance of the little prince was only realized by the prince when he saw that he had not returned for three days. โ€

Zhao Yulong nodded: "You mean, there was no one else around when he disappeared, right?"

National Teacher: "Exactly, the little prince went out that morning, and the prince noticed that something was wrong three days later. When the little prince went out, no one followed, and when he asked the fish households around the shore of Qianbo Lake, none of them saw the little prince. But I can be sure that the little prince disappeared at two o'clock in the afternoon on the shore of Qianbo Lake!"

After hearing this, Zhao Yulong seemed to understand: "Well, I think I already know the approximately, thank you for telling the national teacher." โ€

National Teacher: "Since there is no business for me, then I will go down." Your Majesty, the minister retired, all the immortals, the minister said goodbye. But before leaving, I have a word I want to tell you that you are still young, don't lose your life for something that has nothing to do with you, it won't be good!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the palace gate arrogantly, and his arrogant appearance made people feel very unhappy. As soon as the national teacher left, the emperor was naturally embarrassed, so he could only smile and say: "He is this temper, you don't mind too much, don't mind!"

When the others saw that the emperor said so, they naturally didn't pay too much attention to it. But Zhao Yulong asked coldly: "I don't know what your majesty's surname is?"

Emperor: "His name is Gang Xuxuan, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yulong: "It's nothing, since we know everything we want to know, we won't bother Your Majesty to deal with state affairs, farewell!"

Emperor: "Well, the immortals are walking slowly, but may I ask the immortals, which of you is mainly responsible for this incident?"

Zhao Yulong: "I! If you find something, just look for me." It's getting late, and tomorrow I'm going to investigate the place that the national teacher said, and say goodbye!"

The emperor saluted back, watching Zhao Yulong leave, but he was thinking about something in his heart. And that subtle movement was seen by Zhao Yulong.

Because it's getting late, you need to rest. The crowd chartered an inn. Now that he had returned to the room and sat down, Jing Rui drank three cups of tea before he said: "Zhao Yulong, do you think that today's national teacher and the emperor are a little strange?"

At this time, Zhao Yulong also put down the teaglass: "No! I think it's normal, don't think so much, rest early." โ€

"But ......" was about to say something, but saw Zhao Yulong's eyes pointing out the window, that is, he understood a thing or two, and now he stopped: "That's it, you are the commander, just listen to you, but where do we start investigating tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Zhao Yulong looked out the window, and then continued: "If it's tomorrow, I don't think you should follow me." The crowd target is too large and easy to detect. I'll just go and check on the so-called Qianbo Lake alone. โ€

Jing Rui nodded: "Okay! That's an idea, so what do we do, there are so many people anyway." โ€

Zhao Yulong walked to the window, opened the window, and looked around before continuing: "Why don't you just play around in this imperial city, so you can relax." But when you play, you have to make me look like you're investigating, and when they're all looking at you, I can look into the matter with peace of mind. โ€

Jing Rui put down the teacup, looked out the window, and then looked at Zhao Yulong: "Understand, then you have to be careful tomorrow." After all, your strength ......"

Zhao Yulong: "Naturally, it's not too early, let's go back to the room and rest early!"

Jingrui: "Yes, you too!" said the door he walked out of the room.

Not long after Jing Rui left, just under Zhao Yulong's window, a figure suddenly appeared, obviously this was a secret thorn. Now he heard that there was no conversation in the room, so he walked down the wall.

I don't know how long it took for Zhao Yulong to put down the tea in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The next day, because I was worried about the crowds during the day. So Zhao Yulong got up and left the inn at dawn, and as for the other students, he was not too worried, so he walked quickly.

After several detours out of the imperial city, there was no one around, but he could vaguely feel a sign of soul power around him. But he didn't pay much attention to it, just continued to walk forward as if he hadn't noticed.

The power followed him for a long time, and it never left. Zhao Yulong didn't care, so he let the other party follow. It wasn't until a valley that Zhao Yulong stopped.

Then he stood there and turned his back to the force and said, "Come out! It's been a while with me, what do you want?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw several figures in the mountains and forests: "Yo! The boy is quite good, since you know that we have been with you for so long, do you have to give the brothers some wine money to spend?"

Obviously, these people are the so-called bandits, and sure enough, the empire is indeed different. It's that these bandits are much stronger than the bandits of the imperial kingdom back then, and there are five soldier soul realms for six bandits, and one for the warrior soul realm.

After a rough estimate, the five people on the other side should all be so-called infantry warriors, and the weapons in their hands are very common, which is the big knife. However, these knives are finely crafted, and they are all blue-tier high-grade weapons. If it is placed in the former imperial kingdom, it should also be a strong man who dominates one side!

But now in this Tengqi Empire, he is only a bandit. Now these thieves were looking at Zhao Yulong: "Boy, do you understand the meaning of what we said just now?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yulong took out a bag of money from the ring and threw it to the thief: "Naturally, I understand, do you want money?"

After receiving the money bag, these thieves were also shocked, after all, they had never seen such a cooperative person before. Even if you are weak, you will pray for it.

But Zhao Yulong didn't say anything now, so he threw the money bag over. This is a bit too hasty, and such a scene also makes these thieves quite embarrassed: "You just gave us the money?"

Zhao Yulong: "You just want money, and I just want to borrow a way." Since there is no conflict between everyone's desires, why should I bother with this? I think this money should be enough to buy this road, so can you let me go?"

The thieves were amused, and after looking at each other and smiling, they looked at Zhao Yulong: "Good boy, smart enough." If others were as clever as you, we wouldn't have to wash the knife every day. It's just that your money doesn't seem to be enough to buy your life. I think you have a good ring on your hand, why don't you give him to us? โ€

Zhao Yulong: "Ring? You even want this, I'm sorry, I don't think I can give it to you!"

After saying a good walk, he ran towards the forest. When the thieves saw this scene, they hurriedly chased after him, and the leader did not forget to say: "That kid can give us this money without hesitation, it means that there must be something more important in his ring, catch up with him, don't let him run away!"

Seeing that the bandits behind him were about to catch up, Zhao Yulong suddenly increased his speed and opened the distance. But all this seems to be done by Zhao Yulong on purpose, whenever the bandit wants to catch up, the speed will become a lot faster, and once the distance is opened up to a certain extent, it will gradually slow down.

After trotting down all the way, Zhao Yulong's face couldn't see how tired he was, but the physical strength of those bandits was almost exhausted, but he still didn't forget to say: "Little rabbit cub, don't run, let me catch you, I will definitely kill you!"

Zhao Yulong: "Those guys should catch me first!

I only heard Zhao Yulong shouting into the forest, and I saw a person walking out of the forest, and this person was Gang Guoshi. Now I saw that he was skillfully running towards those bandits, and his strange body made him move freely in the forest.

And the speed of his movement was even faster, just to see that the short knife on his waist was just out of the sheath, and the heads of those bandits rolled to the ground. And the money bag, he threw it to Zhao Yulong: "This is the money bag of the immortals! The immortals don't look easy to kill! Why don't you make a move against these thieves." โ€

Zhao Yulong: "It's not that it's not easy to kill, it's just that my strength is not good." To tell you the truth, although I am of the blood of the Celestial Clan, I have been practicing literature and not martial arts since I was a child, so it is okay for me to deal with one of these bandits, but I am not an opponent if I deal with them together. Fortunately, the national teacher is here, otherwise my life may be saved today, but I can't get the money back. โ€

National Teacher: "Yes, it seems that I have also done Shangxian a favor, but Shangxian, how do you know that I am here?"

Zhao Yulong: "Without him, I just happened to find the national teacher in the mountains and forests on the way to run, so I thought you would help, so I called you." I don't want your strength to be so strong, you should be above me, you have a soul realm!"

The national teacher nodded: "I just broke through the Soul Realm, but what I don't understand is why the Immortals came to this remote place?"

Zhao Yulong: "Isn't it to investigate the disappearance of the person? It just so happens that the national teacher is also there, so why don't you go to the shore of Qianbo Lake with me?"

National Teacher: "I can't ask for it, it's an honor to be able to go with the immortals, and it just so happens that I have some things to deal with when I go there, so of course it's best to go together." โ€

Zhao Yulong: "Then let's go!" After speaking, he walked quickly in front, and at the moment when the national teacher did not pay attention, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly took it back.

The shore of Qianbo Lake is not far from the imperial city, but it has not taken long to walk. But along the way, Zhao Yulong chatted with the national teacher for a few words and became familiar with it. Now that he came to the edge of the lake, Zhao Yulong stopped and turned to look at the national teacher.

Zhao Yulong: "The move of the national teacher to kill those bandits before was a secret stabbing technique only available to the demon clan! The purple-level low-level sheath in the knife will be a quick word! The moment before others see the knife unsheathed, it can be said that the enemy's life is taken away, which can be said to be extremely vicious!"

It seemed to hear the tone of Zhao Yulong's words, but the national teacher still had a smile on his face: "It's not very vicious, it's just a quick word! In this world, if you don't kill others, others will kill you! But Shangxian, since this is here, I think we should investigate the matter of missing people! It doesn't seem to make much sense to talk about this." โ€

Zhao Yulong: "That's the case, then let's talk about this missing person! I remember yesterday you said that the first incident happened here, and you know very well the time and place. โ€

National Teacher: "Exactly, do you need me to repeat those messages again?"

Zhao Yulong: "No need, this information is meaningless. As you said yesterday, the little prince went out alone, and no one knew where he was or when he disappeared. Isn't it a contradiction that you know the time and place so well? But it's not a contradiction, because if you did it, it wouldn't be strange that you knew the time and place!"

After speaking, a piercing look looked at the national teacher.
