Thousands of miles away in the imperial capital, in the depths of a dense jungle, there is a huge square hidden, on the square stands dozens of tall black stone pillars, covered with countless strange spells, one after another black energy shot out from the hundred zhang black stone pillars, crossed outline in the middle of this square, forming a huge protective barrier, dead silence and strange atmosphere shrouded the sky above this square, here everywhere is gloomy and the smell of death.

Behind the square stood a large black hall, and on the huge stone chair in the hall, a man wearing a golden mask sat cross-legged, with his hands sealed, and at this moment he was swallowing the aura of heaven and earth, as if he was in the process of cultivation.

Suddenly, the jade pendant engraved with "Pisces" on the waist worn by the masked man made a loud "beep" sound at this time, and he immediately woke up from his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, carefully looked at the jade pendant on his waist, and then his eyes suddenly surged with a look of shock, and murmured: "After more than 60 years, you finally have a movement again!

"Someone!" The deep voice came out of the masked man's mouth, and quickly entered the door of the hall like a giant beast, and in an instant, a figure hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, and immediately knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "Lord, what are your orders?"

A hint of gloom flashed in the masked man's deep eyes, and he coldly ordered: "Yin Charm, call Leng Yan and Gongzi over immediately, there are important things to explain to you in this seat!"

Yin Mei didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately responded: "Yes! My subordinates will do it immediately!" and then stood up, without the slightest delay, turned around and shot out of the hall.

In the middle of the night, a figure came quickly from outside the hall, arrived at the center of the hall, bowed and saluted: "Leng Yan greets the lord!"

The masked man waved his hand and said, "No courtesy!"

Leng Yan thanked him and said, "Thank you, lord! The lord is in such a hurry to find a subordinate, does he have an urgent task to do?"

"I'm looking for you in such a hurry, I really have an important matter to deliver to you!" The masked man's words were a little colder, and it could be seen that Leng Yan still had a certain status in his heart.

"Please ask the lord to command, his subordinates will never give up on their death, and they will live up to the trust of the lord!"

"Okay, with your words, this seat will rest assured!" The masked man was obviously extremely satisfied with his performance, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Leng Yan, there is a place called Xiangfu City in the central and western regions of the empire, you should know, right?"

Leng Yan immediately explained the distribution of forces in Xiangfu City: "Xiangfu City, the subordinates are naturally quite familiar, including the City Lord's Mansion, there are nothing more than five forces, the City Lord's Mansion, Xuanyuan Academy, the Huang Family, the He Family and the Wang family belonging to outsiders, the highest martial arts cultivation is only the third-grade level of the Wuyang Realm, I don't know which force the Lord plans to use this time?"

The masked man praised: "Yes, it seems that over the years, you have really worked hard for the organization, this time, this seat does not plan to devour or destroy any force, this seat has other plans!"

Leng Yan arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear to the lord!"

The masked man didn't face the topic directly, but asked lightly: "If this seat remembers correctly, the annual hunting festival organized by the City Lord's Mansion is about to open, and the contestants every year are basically young talents from the major forces in the city, isn't that the case?"

"It's true, the opening time is seventeen days later!" Leng Yan didn't need to think about it at all, he immediately said the exact date, and then asked suspiciously: "Lord, is this mission related to the hunting festival in Xiangfu City?"

The masked man said, "You guessed right!"

Leng Yan asked: "Lord, I heard that this time, Gongzi will go together, do you plan to arrange for him to participate in the hunting festival in Xiangfu City?"

"Yes and no!" the masked man gave an ambiguous answer.

Such an answer made him puzzled for a while, and his face was bitter, so he could only bite the bullet and ask, "Lord, is that what it is?"

When the masked man saw his deflated appearance, he immediately laughed and said, "Let's just say it straight, Gongzi definitely has to participate in the hunting festival, but it's not blatant, but you think of getting the verification jade plate to enter the enchantment of the hunting area, and then sneak in, and the target of the hunt is not a spirit animal, but ...... All the contestants!"

Leng Yan was suddenly confused, ignoring the iron law of the organization, and blurted out the question in his heart: "Lord, what kind of purpose are you achieving by doing this?"

The masked man raised his eyelids, and in the dark eyes, a fierce light flashed in an instant, and cold words popped out of his mouth: "Leng Yan, is this what you should ask?"

"The subordinates are straightforward and fast-talking, please surrender the lord!"

Feeling the coldness of the masked man, his face changed abruptly, Leng Yan immediately knelt on the ground, beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead, and a thick fear rose in his heart.

The masked man warned in a word: "Leng Yan, don't think that you usually have a very good relationship with your son, you can keep your mouth shut, if it weren't for the sake of working hard for this seat for so many years, this time it will definitely not be spared, if you do it again next time, don't blame this seat for not being emotional!"

Leng Yan immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Gong forgive Longen!"

The masked man did not continue to be accountable, and continued: "Get up, the participants of each hunting festival in Xiangfu City are estimated to be below the second rank of the Martial Spirit Realm, and Gongzi is now in the middle of the seventh rank of the Martial Spirit Realm, which is enough to deal with this slaughter mission, you only need to protect his safety during this trip!"

Leng Yan stood up straight, patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, the subordinates will absolutely guarantee the safety of the young master! If anyone makes him lose a hair, his subordinates will definitely kill him!"

The masked man shook his head and shouted: "Leng Yan, this seat wants you to protect the safety of the young master, if he is missing a hair, this seat will destroy you all over the door, do you hear clearly?"

Leng Yan trembled and probed out, and hurriedly emphasized: "Lord, the humble duty must ensure that the young master is safe and sound, otherwise the humble duty will come to see you!"

"Father, here comes the child!"

At this time, a young man rushed into the hall, people heard it before they saw it, only to see that the young man's facial features were as clear and distinct as carving, his angular face was handsome, his black and dense hair fell naturally like a waterfall, and under a pair of sword eyebrows was a pair of slender peach blossom eyes that were tender like water.

"Come on, come on, what kind of system is it to shout so much!"

Looking at the young man who rushed in in a hurry, the masked man couldn't help but laugh and scold, the cold eyes just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, but at this time a strong love appeared.

"Over the years, for the sake of safety, it is really rare for the prince to go out, so I am more urgent, and please don't blame him!" Leng Yan's words were very explicit to protect this proud young man.

"Those who know me, Uncle Leng Yan too!" The young man walked to the chair under the main hall, sat down, and grimaced at Leng Yan, which shows that the relationship between the two is still quite close.

Although Leng Yan is a subordinate of the boy's father, he has always watched the boy grow up, and he is also extremely doting on the boy on weekdays, and the boy has also given a lot of guidance and help in the process of martial arts cultivation, which can be regarded as his enlightenment teacher, so since the boy knows a little about the world, he has been treated as an uncle in his heart, and the relationship between them is quite good.

"You, you are only Uncle Leng Yan in your eyes, but you have left your father aside!" The masked man chuckled and reproached a few words, and then his gaze suddenly stopped on the young man's body, and he asked with some surprise, "Have you advanced to the peak of the seventh rank of the Martial Spirit Realm?"

When Leng Yan heard this, he also looked at the young man with some surprise, and sure enough, he noticed that there were fluctuations of spiritual power in the young man's body, and his aura had obviously reached the peak of the seventh grade of the martial spirit realm.

The young man nodded, his expression was slightly proud, his face was a little proud, and he said lightly: "Father, I just entered yesterday." ”

"Okay, yes, it's not a child of this seat!" the masked man laughed unprecedentedly, obviously this unexpected joy made him feel a lot more comfortable.

Leng Yan took the opportunity to congratulate him: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the young master!"

The young man pursed his lips and said coquettishly: "Father, hurry up and tell the child what kind of task will be assigned to the child this time, the child can't wait!"

It seems that the young man is the weakness of this cold masked man, and he said helplessly: "Father has assigned the specific task to Uncle Leng Yan, he will tell you in detail later, you have to listen well, this mission is far away, you must not be as willful as here, you have to listen to Uncle Leng Yan's words along the way!"

A look of displeasure appeared on the young man's handsome face, and he complained: "Dad, can you let me go to complete a task alone? Every time I send a task to him, Uncle Leng Yan is sent along, and it is not challenging at all!"

"This mission is very important, there is no room for failure, not to mention the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and you are still shallow in the world, my father has to ensure your absolute safety!" The masked man's eyes became serious, there was no bottom line because he doted on him, there was no room for negotiation between words, and then said coldly: "If you don't accept it, my father will cancel your mission immediately!"

The young man thought about it, his eyes rolled for a moment, and he unexpectedly did not dwell on this topic again, and said honestly: "Okay, the child obeys the order, father, you must not cancel the child's mission!"

"Isn't that right! In business, the main and secondary are clearly distinguished, and you will have to bargain less in front of your father in the future!" The masked man was a little surprised by the young man's submission, but he was still very satisfied in his heart, and then comforted him: "This mission is actually basically completed by you, send Leng Yan to accompany you, and your father is only used to ensure your safety, as a last resort, your Uncle Leng Yan will not make a move, this mission will be used as your experience test!"

The displeasure in the young man's heart was suddenly swept away, and he said happily: "I know! Thank you, father!"

The masked man brushed his sleeves up, walked to the young man's side, touched his head, and cast his sharp eyes on Leng Yan, and ordered: "Leng Yan, this seat will entrust the prince to you, the imperial capital is far away from Xiangfu City, and there is not enough time for you to prepare, when you go back, carefully select five reliable entourages, and let them take care of your daily life by the way along the way, the departure time is set for tomorrow morning, hurry up and prepare!"

"Yes, my lord. Leng Yan didn't stop any longer, turned around and walked out of the hall.
