Chapter 18: The Cultivation of Physical Arts
In the medical hall, a handsome man was looking out the window with cold eyes. His face looked a little solemn.
"Squeak. ”
The door was gently pushed open, and it was Mingjie who walked in.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Mingjie with concern.
"Nothing's wrong. Kehao loosened his eyebrows and grinned at Mingjie and the others, revealing a smile like the dawn of the morning.
During the recuperation period in Kehao. Due to the injury of the key patrol officer, the operation to arrest the thieves was also forced to be suspended.
The thieves are a bully who does all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, and looting property. The town of Crown Ore, and even the entire province of North Air, is also known.
According to intelligence, the leader of the thieves group is a character with the highest strength in the Demon Sealing Sect. The members are all high-level magicians.
This kind of person, although he has the ability of the magic crystal, does not use the magic crystal ability for the right path, abandons the prestigious magic master as a profession, and is seduced by money, and chooses the notorious thief as a profession.
The Guard's elite Demon Sealer was seriously injured in this way, causing quite a stir in the small Ore Town. The atmosphere in the neighborhood has also become a little quiet. Living in the shadow of a group of bullies and thieves, rich businessmen from all walks of life talk about their color change, and everyone is in danger.
In the few days when they had nothing to do, Ming Jie, Mu Ning, and Chuyun's Sword Cloud Sect and their entourage were wandering east and west on the slightly deserted streets compared to the previous days.
From time to time, some gossip came from the deserted streets.
"I heard that the Lord of the Thieves is coming back. ”
"The Lord, do you mean the terrifyingly powerful Lord?" said the man who spoke with a little blue fear on his face.
"Your Excellency. Mingjie muttered silently in his heart. In the past few days, the talk of passers-by on the street has stirred up Ouyang's thoughts.
The adult who was rumored in other people's mouths must be very strong, right? Her eyes swept over Mu Ning, and there was also a hint of solemnity on her face.
At noon, Mingjie, Mu Ning, and Chu Yun ate at the small restaurant.
They were summoned to the headquarters of the Guards Regiment for a meeting. The headquarters building of the Ore Town Guards is as luxurious as the Ore Town on the rich side. The silver bricks and blue tiles of the headquarters building of the Guards Regiment in the important town are comparable to the headquarters of the Golden Guards Division in the imperial capital.
This is a council of arrest merchants. The long square table in the hall was filled with more than twenty people. Because the thieves group was really strong, and the guards group was not manpowered, Ming Jie and several other demon sealers from the Sword Cloud Sect were also invited to help. Mingjie and the others found a lower seat and sat down.
The people attending the meeting all talked about it.
"I didn't think the wicked man would come back. ”
"yes, I didn't think he was dead...... the voice behind him was too small to be heard.
"The adult?" Mingjie's thoughts from the morning resurfaced in Mingjie's mind, "Is that the terrifyingly powerful adult that everyone rumors?" Mingjie smacked his lips helplessly.
The wait before the meeting is always very long. The expressions of the participants should always be a little solemn. Chu Yun leaned into Mingjie's ear and whispered, "Brother Mingjie, they are waiting for an important person." Immediately afterwards, Mingjie muttered a few words to Chu Yun.
There were also impatience among the people of the Guards Regiment. A younger man snorted to the middle-aged man next door with a stubble on his face, "Why haven't you started yet?"
The middle-aged man swept his eyes around, and said in a low voice, "This meeting, the head of the group will participate." ”
The young man muffled his voice, "Isn't it just a small group of thieves? ”
The middle-aged man glanced at him sideways and said, "Little thief group, we can fight with them ourselves." However, according to intelligence, their former leader has received some kind of powerful return. After saying that, he put his head on his hand and closed his eyes slightly.
The wooden doors of the spacious conference hall were opened.
Some whispered, and the action of raising a glass of water came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone in the room stood up. The door opened, and a burly man entered.
"Hello Chief Patrol Officer!"
Another man entered, equally muscular, but with pale hair. The faces of the people attending the meeting were a little complicated and indescribable.
"Captain!"
The members of the patrol were all surprised because they hadn't seen their captain in a long time.
The head of the regiment waved for everyone to sit down.
"This time the situation is a bit grim!"
The head of the regiment said in his deep, magnetic voice. He went on to add the most important one.
"Their previous leader has returned. ”
The atmosphere of the afternoon session was filled with an oppressive solemnity.
It's nightfall.
A dull force slammed down on the trunk. The trunk shook slightly, making a "bang" sound, a crisp sound.
Ming Jie threw a few powerful and dull punches at the trunk.
What is the origin of the leader of the bandits? Actually forced the Guards to ask the high-level demon sealers of the Imperial Sword Cloud Sect to help?
"Damn, shit. Mingjie scolded while hitting the trunk of the tree: "Is their previous leader so powerful?"
Whether it was because of the lack of strength, the trees also slightly burst out with a few tiny cracks from the inside out.
Mu Ning pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly. There is a quiet look to the side.
Chu Yun covered his forehead, went over and grabbed Mingjie, Ying Ying smiled, and whispered: "Brother Mingjie, don't be angry, it's time to go back to dinner." ”
Mingjie stopped and took a deep breath. Looking up at the heights, the afterglow of the veins was already shining through the dense foliage. With a soft sigh, he stepped away and turned away from the woods.
Tonight, an important pre-war meeting is called here.
From the outside, the interior of the Guards Regiment building is brightly lit and the exterior is heavily guarded.
In the evening, after dinner, Mingjie looked at the brightly lit headquarters building on the side of the road, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The roadside grove is overgrown with weeds. The dark forest faintly emitted a terrifying and fierce light. The dense forest in the dark night is full of dangers, and there are fierce beasts that don't know how to live in it, even magical beasts.
Mingjie's body turned, and he was about to turn around and leave. At that moment, a strong wind blew behind him. Under the white moonlight, a middle-aged man with black hair is flying out of thin air by the wind lift!
"Teacher Ling Hao!"
After Ling Hao saw Ming Jie, he smiled happily: "Ming Jie, this is how the power of the fist is used. ”
With a click, a restless agitation erupted in the dense forest, mixed with the sound of birds and beasts fleeing quickly, and the trees cracked. Several deep and shallow cracks appeared in the trees, and you could see the wooden structure inside, as if it had been bitten by a wolf.
