Chapter 8 Nanshan Castle
After staying overnight at the Adventurer's Tavern, early the next morning, Yao Chen and his family took a big boat and went down a river in Sanxi City, preparing to merge into the Nanfang River, and then along the river to Nanshan City, the state capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe whole journey spans more than 2,000 miles and takes more than 10 days.
On the third day after Yao Chen left Sanxi City, a group of fierce powerhouses suddenly came to Sanxi City, the leader was a gold-level peak spiritual master, and the rest were all silver-level spiritual warriors at the least!
"The rings of the Four Elders did appear briefly in this area. An old man in a Qiankun Dao robe held a compass-like thing and frowned, "Elder-level storage spaces are all equipped with the best tracking formations, but the storage space has only appeared here for a very short time, and it is extremely difficult to locate accurately. Presumably, the murderer also knew that we could track it down and hide it in other storage spaces. Now it's in trouble. ā
"Hmph, report the situation immediately and wait for instructions!" The Golden Peak Spirit Priest who led the team had a gloomy face and said coldly, "If my guess is correct, the murderer should have left by boat." ā
"Brother Hong, we are like this, even if we catch up with the murderer, what if the other party is a powerful existence that can kill the four elders!" The old man in the robe took the compass and sighed. The leading square-faced golden spirit man frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Old Dao, don't talk nonsense, it's an extraordinary time, let's do more things and complain less!"
"I lost my words. The old Taoist priest immediately fell silent.
More than half a month later, the capital of Shannan Prefecture, Nanshan City.
A large ship gradually docked at the Nanfang River Wharf in Nanshan City, put on passengers and walked off the bridge one after another, and many laborers began to load the ship. Among the passengers who disembarked, a handsome young man carried a long knife on his back, but he held a pet with a black charcoal head in his arms, which looked strange. Behind the young man, there was a gray-haired old man with a lofty demeanor and a thin body, and behind the old man, there were two big men and a young man, and a middle-aged woman who still had charm.
"This is Nanshan Castle. Yao Chen raised his eyes and saw that the wharf where he was standing was the shortest, the wharf was connected to a street, and at the end of the street, there was a winding road, and the whole Nanshan City itself was like a giant beast, standing silently on the mountain at the end of the street!
Nanshan Castle is built on the mountain, with a magnificent momentum, overlooking the entire rolling southern river.
"Nanshan City is a mountain city, and there is a fairly large flat area at the highest point, where the whole city is concentrated, and the state capital is also there. Long Yuanfa once came to Nanshan City to act as a commentary for Yao Chen, "The higher the status of the people in the entire Nanshan City, the higher the height of the place, the area where we are now located is the most low-level labor mass residence, and it is not a formal Nanshan City area. ā
Long Yuanfa pointed to the air wall built around the mountain in the distance, and the huge city gate that was dozens of meters higher than all around.
"It's amazing, it's insightful. Yao Chen admired and led everyone into the dock street. Yao Yunfeng and Zong Zhan looked around, surging with distant memories, once their adventure careers had also left footprints here.
"The headquarters of the Nangong family is also here. Long Yuan whispered, "Master, you came directly under their noses, and you are really magnificent." ā
"Don't be a sycophant," Yao Chen smiled bitterly, "This is also something that can't be helped." Now our biggest advantage is that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and if I am exposed, I believe that I will not be able to get out of this mountain city at all. ā
The group came to the city gate. Many people came in and out from inside and outside the city gate, and there were four guards standing at the city gate, all of whom were black iron level spiritual warriors.
Yao Chen and Yao Yunfeng walked in the front, the latter was talking about the things he had passed through Nanshan City back then, Yao Chen listened, his eyes swept over the city gate guards, on the surface everything seemed normal, but Yao Chen had already noticed that above the city tower, there was a person sitting quietly, sensing the flow of people coming in and out below.
"The pinnacle of gold. Yao Chen's perception was extremely keen, and he instantly figured out the reality of the other party, "There are six people in total, and the remaining five are two gold level and three silver level." "Yao Chen's battle soul perception is free, and it is controlled in a small range to avoid encountering strong people and startling snakes. As for the perception of the battle soul, Yao Chen still didn't know if he would be noticed by the battle king-level powerhouse, but the gold-level spirit warrior didn't seem to have a trace of reaction.
There is a world of difference between a war king-level spirit warrior and a gold-level spirit warrior, and under the nourishment of colorful spiritual power, even the soul is changed, and it is extremely powerful and keen. After the king of war, he needs to comprehend the heavens and the earth, and it is impossible without a strong soul.
"There are only a few war kings in the Nangong family, it is impossible to meet them everywhere," Yao Chen pondered, after all, as the pinnacle powerhouse of the mortal world, the war king is not like a gold-level spirit warrior, although there are not many, but it will not be too few, "As long as I don't meet a war king-level powerhouse, I should not be exposed." ā
Rising along the winding but wide streets, experiencing the grandeur of Nanshan City built on the mountain, Long Yuanfa took the lead to a gentle slope area in the middle of the mountain, which is the most prosperous part of the whole city, known as the 'Banpo District', with many restaurants and all kinds of shops, where ordinary people and bronze-level and silver-level spirits can be seen walking on the same street at any time, and gold-level spirits can also be seen at intervals.
"Around the corner, there is a secluded alley with a fraternity rudder in it. Long Yuanfa was familiar with the road and pointed ahead.
"Dad, you guys are resting here now, and I'll go with Yuanfa. Yao Chen saw that there was a tea shop not far away, and motioned to Yao Yunfeng and they were waiting at the tea shop. Temporarily handed over the black boy to Ye Zhixin, Yao Chen and Long Yuanfa went forward. Long Yuanfa took the lead, and the two entered the alley, turning around and around, and came to a dark corner, where the sunlight was blocked by the surrounding buildings, and a small black iron door in the wall was closed. Long Yuanfa stepped forward and pulled the door knocker, which was very regular.
"Bang!" The iron door opened, revealing the figure of a strong man, the strong man with a red nose, squinted his eyes, and then said, "Hey, who did I say, Long Yuanfa, you old boy, you still owed me a hundred gold coins last time for gambling debts, it's time to pay off the debt!" Long Yuanfa said proudly, "Red nose, get out of the way of Long Ye, Long Ye brought important people this time, I want to see Boss Fan." ā
"Important person, just the kid behind you who doesn't have any hair?" The red-nosed man was about to laugh, and when Long Yuanfa raised his hand, a golden spiritual power swung out, directly lifting the red-nosed man away!
"Ahh......h When did you advance to the gold tier!"
"Red nose, troublemaker?" Two more people appeared in the iron door, a middle-aged man with a black face and a beard.
"It's Long Yuanfa...... He's advanced!" Red Nose got up and stepped inside. Long Yuanfa turned around, nodded his head, and invited Yao Chengong in. Seeing Long Yuanfa's flattering appearance, Red Nose began to take Yao Chen seriously for the first time.
"Is Boss Fan here, go and shout, let him come out quickly, and see my master!" Long Yuan's golden spiritual power surged, and a huge spiritual pressure was emitted, and he glared and commanded.
"Okay! good!" Red Nose and the other two were both silver-level spiritual warriors, so naturally they no longer dared to deal with Long Yuanfa, who had already advanced, and hurriedly ran in to report. Yao Chen looked at it, behind the iron gate was a passage seven or eight meters deep, and there should be a cave behind the passage. Long Yuanfa took Yao Chen through the passage, and sure enough, he came to a spacious hall, at this moment, there were all kinds of people sitting in the hall in twos and threes, some people looked up at Long Yuanfa who had just come in, and some people who knew him wanted to say something, but they were shocked by Long Yuanfa's golden spiritual power, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
"That old boy has advanced!"
"Gold!"
A few small voices quickly communicated.
Long Yuanfa led Yao Chen through the hall. Yao Chen found that there was a display board in the hall, on which many tasks and rewards were displayed, all similar to the adventurer's tavern, except that the tasks here were mostly shady assassinations, and the adventurer's tavern was more of an open business.
There was a spiral staircase at the end of the hall, and Yao Chen followed Long Yuanfa up the stairs. Long Yuanfa began to scold, "This bastard Fan Jian, really a slut, I haven't seen him for a long time!"
"Long Yuanfa, who do you say is cheap!" A cold voice sounded at the end of the stairs, and Yao Chen saw that it was a tall man in a black robe with long cheeks, commonly known as a horse face.
