Chapter 77 Mystery
On the way back, except for Tu Lie, who had been carrying the pile of "gold and silver treasures" very hard, the three of them were relaxed.
The deterrent power of the three earth tiers, coupled with the aura left behind by the corpses of the forty heaven-rank three-headed snake lizards, made those earth-level Xuan-rank and yellow-rank beasts already frightened as far as they could dodge.
Even the Heavenly Rank Beasts felt their presence hesitate and gave up.
The aura left behind by the corpses of forty Heaven Rank three-headed snake lizards was basically the same as the breath of two living three-headed snake lizards in the perception of Heaven Rank beasts. The combination of three earth-level and two heaven-level three-headed snake lizards, it is better not to provoke these heaven-level beasts.
Although Tu Lie used the "Gangqi Body Forging Technique" with all his might, his foot was still much slower, and it took almost a month and a half for the three of them to walk out of the central mountain range and join the two of the liquor shop owners who were responding outside.
"Haha! I knew that it must be right to entrust it to you!" The shopkeeper looked at the hill on Tu Lie's back with a smile on his face.
"Let's count them, there are forty of them. Shenhuan motioned to Tu Lie to put down the corpses of the three snake lizards, "We have taken all the twenty-eight evil qi pills that we should take, and the rest of the evil qi pills, along with these corpses, are yours." ”
"Well, okay! No need to count! No need to count! I believe in you!" Although the flesh hurt the twenty-eight evil qi pills, this huge gain still made the two liquor shop owners smile.
The three of them did not intend to go with them, and after saying goodbye to the owner of the liquor store, the three of them embarked on a new journey again.
"Where are we going?" asked Zhuo Qing Shenhuan.
"I want to go to the three central states surrounded by the Central Mountains. Is there any way?" Shen Huan is now full of curiosity about the three central states.
In the Forest of Wangcang, an Earth-level beast can become an overlord, and in the Central Mountain Range, there are countless heaven-level beasts. What kind of situation is the situation of the three central states surrounded by the central mountain range, Shenhuan is really a little curious.
"Uh. Zhuo Qing wouldn't say that he could enter directly by showing the jade card, "Let's go to Songzhou." Most of the caravans that entered the three central states were supplied in Songzhou. If we are lucky, we can receive the task of escorting the caravan there and enter Songzhou as a bodyguard. ”
"Let's do it. But...... Until then, we still have to go back to Shengzhou once, Brother Lin's last wish, I must fulfill it for him. If she doesn't want to go, even if it's a bundle, she must be tied back to Fengzhou. ”
"Okay......" Zhuo Qing knew that in this matter, no one could persuade Shenhuan, who had made up his mind, so he had to let it go.
Instead of accompanying the convoy, the three of them hired three horses in the stables next to the avenue, and hurried back to Shengzhou Castle without stopping.
Shen Huan had also moved the idea of forcibly escorting Lin Zhaoyue back to Fengzhou before, but Shen Huan thought that it would not be difficult to kill Lin Zhaoyue, but it would not be easy to capture her.
If you can't subdue Lin Zhaoyue quickly, with the momentum of the Phoenix Combat Technique, it will soon attract Wen Ren Hanfeng, who cares too much about Lin Zhaoyue. That's why Shen Huan dispelled this thought.
Now Shenhuan doesn't think so, whether it is the Gang Qi that has advanced to the late stage of the ground level, or the "time rewind" after the law has advanced, it makes Shenhuan confident that he can capture Lin Zhaoyue in one fell swoop without alarming others.
After returning to Shengzhou City, Shenhuan quickly found Lin Zhaoyue's house in Shengzhou according to the location Lin Zhaoyue said last time.
The house is not large, but it is quite elegant, and you can see the extraordinary taste of the owner from the outside.
Shin-hwan knocked on the door, and it was an old servant who opened the door.
"Excuse me, what are the three of you doing?" the old servant looked at the three of them.
"Miss Lin is there? ”
"The old slave will go in and report, and the three guests please wait. The old servant stepped back and closed the door.
Soon after, the old slave opened the door again: "Three of you, please come in." ”
Under the leadership of the old slave, the three of them met Lin Zhaoyue, who was drinking tea in the hall. However, at this moment, Lin Zhaoyue is dressed in soft yarn, and she is not wearing the Fire Phoenix Sword, a little less heroic and a little more feminine.
"It's been a long time since you saw them. Please take a seat, drink a cup of tea and rest, the little woman's tea skills are shallow, don't dislike it. "After all, it is an elite from a big family, and Lin Zhaoyue's etiquette is very thoughtful.
"Miss Lin is modest. Miss Lin is not only a great success in phoenix combat skills, but also first-class tea art, which has not yet been entered, and the fragrance of tea has been refreshing. These scenes are naturally Zhuo Qing's words.
"But I haven't seen it for a few months, and the three of them have advanced by leaps and bounds from the early stage of the ground level to the late stage of the ground level, which really makes the little woman admire. The little girl's achievement, don't mention it. ”
From the moment the three of Shenhuan entered the door, Lin Zhaoyue had already been shocked that the three of them were far more powerful than before. The three late-stage stages of the same level as her are also important reasons why she no longer shows a trace of arrogance.
Shenhuan doesn't have much interest in tea tasting, and going straight is more in line with Shenhuan's style: "Miss Lin, how long do you plan to stay in Shengzhou City?"
Seeing Shenhuan's old words mentioned again, Lin Zhaoyue's willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "The little woman still plans to stay in Shengzhou for a while." ”
"Brother Lin's last wish, will you completely ignore it?"
"Why do you keep using the little girl's deceased cousin to press me?" Lin Zhaoyue seemed to not see Shenhuan's anger.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward and oppressive for a moment, like a pot of boiling water, which could boil at any moment!
Suddenly, Shen Huan's anger instantly faded, and he returned to his usual expressionless face: "Miss Lin, do you have any enemies?"
The change in Shenhuan's attitude made the atmosphere in the room relax, and also made Lin Zhaoyue stunned.
"Nope. Why did Brother Tai say this?"
Shen Huan did not answer her question, but raised his voice: "The one on the roof, do you want to come down by yourself, or do you want me to invite you down?"
A word shocking to the four!
There was no response from the rooftop.
"Want to run, it's too late!" Shenhuan's figure disappeared from his seat in an instant, leaving a burst of afterimages and chasing him out.
"Aren't you going to help?" Lin Zhaoyue looked at Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie, who were still drinking tea comfortably.
"He can do it alone. Zhuo Qing put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "Besides, we can't catch up." Shenhuan's goal is absolutely inescapable. What do you say? Miss Lin Zhaoyue. ”
After speaking, Zhuo Qing glanced at Lin Zhaoyue meaningfully.
Shin-hwan, who was tracking the man on the roof, also jumped onto the roof, chasing the masked man dressed in black at full speed. Only then did Shen Huan discover that the masked man was actually a master of the late stage of the ground level!
The speed of the person who escaped was also extremely fast, and with the speed of Shenhuan, he could only slowly close the distance.
"Oh no, he's going into the downtown. "In a state city like Shengzhou City, the downtown area is the easiest place to get rid of tracking, and if you drill into the crowd, it will be difficult for Shenhuan to find his whereabouts.
"It looks like we're going to use 'time back'. "Shen Huan won't let this person go easily.
Just when Shenhuan was worried, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of the man, and the white figure raised his hand, and a burst of energy burst out, knocking back the masked man who was caught off guard.
This sudden helping hand made Shen Huan overjoyed. Shenhuan also took the opportunity to exert his strength, and in the blink of an eye, he came behind the masked man and placed the sword of conscience on his neck.
Shenhuan looked up to thank the man, but found that the white figure had disappeared without a trace......
"Who sent you, and what is your purpose?" said Shinhuan, interrogating the masked man.
The masked man was silent.
"Do you want to try the taste of torture?" the sword of conscience in Shenhuan's hand cut a faint mark of blood on the masked man's neck.
The masked man made a strange sound in his throat, and then fell stiffly, black liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth......
"Suicide by taking poison?" Seeing that this person actually took poison, Shenhuan felt that things were a little not pure. Shenhuan searched the masked man's whole body and found that he didn't even have anything, not even weapons, no wonder he had been just running away without the slightest fight.
Finding nothing, Shenhuan could only return to Lin Zhaoyue's residence.
"Who is the one who helped......
In an alley that Shen Huan couldn't see, a man was leaning against a wall, looking at the sky.
This man blocked the view of outsiders by the debris piled up in the alley, so that people could not see him. Because the way he looks, it's just too weird.
The man's hands and head, which were exposed to his clothes, were tightly wrapped in strips of white cloth, including his eyes. There are two small holes in the strip of cloth at the eyes, which provide him with a little vision.
The thing he was carrying behind him was also tightly wrapped in strips of white cloth, and from the outside, it appeared to be a stick or a long sword......
What's more, his level of qi is - Heavenly Rank!
Shen Huan, who returned to Lin Zhaoyue's mansion, was still thinking about the identity of the masked man, and walked into the hall without saying a word.
"How's that guy?" asked Zhuo Qing.
"Dead. Committed suicide by poisoning. ”
"Suicide by taking poison? It's not simple......"
"Miss Lin. Shenhuan looked up at Lin Zhaoyue, "You have been under surveillance now, if we hadn't come to your house today, you might have been kept in the dark forever, and in the end you wouldn't even know how you were killed." I don't know who you're targeting, and even the people sent to monitor you are at the late stage of the earth, I just know that Brother Lin was right when he was worried. Now, do you still want to stay in Seongju?"
Today's accident made Lin Zhaoyue seriously think about whether she should stay in Shengzhou for the first time, after all, the safety of her life is more important than anything else.
"I'll leave. Lin Zhaoyue finally made a decision, "After saying goodbye to Wenren Gongzi, I will leave Shengzhou and go back to Fengzhou." Thank you for the reminder today. ”
Lin Zhaoyue's decision made Shenhuan finally feel a lot more relieved, although she was going to say goodbye to Wenren Hanfeng made Shenhuan faintly feel a little uneasy, but this decision was much better than Lin Zhaoyue's attitude before.
"Then we won't bother anymore and take our leave. Miss Lin takes care of herself. "I feel that I have finally lived up to Lin Nanfeng's trust, and Shenhuan can finally start their journey with peace of mind.
