Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhuang Han's Temptation
Chi Yue put away his smile and said, "Although this mission is not difficult, it is related to the overall layout of the first seat, and there is no room for mistakes." As a member of the Dark Devil Squad, I believe you all know the temper of the first seat, and I don't want to see anyone punished by the first seat for making mistakes in the course of the operation!"
Although Chi Yue usually likes to laugh and scold with his subordinates, when it comes to business, he is not ambiguous at all.
At this time, the members of the Dark Devil team all had solemn faces. It's just because Chi Yue, their boss, a mid-stage powerhouse in the Bone Refining Realm who is only twenty years old, is one of the first disciples to be cultivated by himself. To a certain extent, his words represent the will of the first seat. This is not the main thing, the important thing is that, in addition to the first seat, Chi Yue is the god in their hearts, making them idols.
"When our Dark Devil Squad was first established, there were one hundred and eight people, but now that we have been eliminated, there are only thirty-six left. Each of us is the first sword, and once the sword is out, it will be stained with blood!" Chi Yue said in a deep voice.
In the dark, although everyone couldn't see Chi Yue's face, they knew that Chi Yue's face must be full of ruthlessness at this moment. Over the years, they have figured out Chi Yue's character, and that expression appears on his face before every action.
"The Black Devil Team listens to the order, approaches the village, and acts according to my orders!" Chi Yue finished speaking, and shot out first, heading towards the village. Behind him, black shadows, like undead messengers, exuded the breath of death.
Village!
"I have a question below, and I ask the three elders to solve my confusion below!"
Chen Youzhi stared at this person for a long time, thinking hard in his mind, but he still couldn't find the slightest news about this person. At this time, when he heard his question, he said: "Chen Mou listens!"
"I have already informed the Third Elder of the purpose of our trip, I don't know why Elder Chen is on this trip?" After the man finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the direction where Chen Youzhi was, waiting for an answer.
"If I say I don't know the mission of this trip, do you believe it?" Chen replied.
The man was silent for a short moment, then laughed, "The third elder said and laughed, what kind of identity are you, how can you not know the purpose of this trip?"
Chen Youzhi coughed embarrassedly, "I'm not afraid of my friends' jokes, Chen really doesn't know." I just received an order to camp here and wait for the arrangement. ”
"Oh?" the man was a little surprised when he heard Chen Youzhi say this. But it was only a moment before it returned to normal. "In this case, I will not disturb the rest of the three elders and the others, and take my leave!" Then he turned to leave, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the forest, and his men also left. Soon, only the Spirit Beast Sect and his party were left in the field.
Chen Youzhi was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the other party to say that he would leave.
"Third grandfather, who are they?" Xiao Ya walked over, with a hint of nervousness on her little face.
"I can't tell where the other party came from, but what I can say for sure is that the other party must have a close relationship with the Spirit Beast Sect!" Chen Youzhi said in a deep voice. At this moment, there was a hint of guilt towards the Great Elder in his heart.
With the full moon in the sky, the Black Devil Mountain is not destined to be calm this night.
Not long after the group of men in black left, dozens of shadows circled the village and pursued them.
"Stop!" The leader of the men in black, who was walking quickly through the forest, suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly, holding the weapon at his waist with his right hand, as if facing a great enemy!
"Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky!, dare to show up!" said the leader. But there was no strange silence all around.
Suddenly, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of "chirp!", and then a miserable cry came from the crowd, but a man in black was shot by an arrow, and before he could let out a scream, he fell to the ground and died.
The man's death seemed to be a signal. Immediately afterward, a series of arrows whistled and shot at the group of men in black from all directions. Miserable screams, the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh one after another!
"Disperse quickly, lie down!" After all, the man in black was a powerhouse in the Bone Refining Realm, and after experiencing the initial chaos, he immediately calmed down and commanded his subordinates to act.
When everyone fell to the ground, the arrows finally stopped. The forest fell silent again. The leader of the men in black could only hear his own heartbeat and breathing, but instead of letting his guard down, he tensed his nerves even more.
Suddenly, another scream sounded, and the leader of the men in black slapped his hands on the ground, his body quickly bounced up, kicked his feet, and shot in the direction of the scream, and at the same time, a sharp sword with a cold light appeared in his hand.
This series of actions was done in one go, without dragging the mud and water at all, showing superb martial arts literacy, and Chi Yue nodded frequently when he saw it.
It's just that when the figure of the leader of the man in black fell, there was only one corpse left on the ground, and the faint smell of blood spread around.
A trace of fear slowly crept into the hearts of many people in black.
"I don't know when I sinned against my friend, but I provoked my friend to do this!" The leader of the men in black was also a little shocked in his heart, just a round of arrows took at least thirty lives of his own men and horses, but the engine room didn't even know who the enemy was from beginning to end. He had doubted Chen Youzhi, but this thought was extinguished by him as soon as it appeared. Because judging from the other party's methods, it is obvious that he is extremely proficient in the way of assassination, and his methods are ruthless and decisive, and he must have undergone strict training.
He understood the people of the Spirit Beast Sect, so he excluded Chen Youzhi's people as soon as possible. But who is the force? Is it ......?
The leader of the men in black thought of a possibility, and was suddenly shocked. But there was no room for him to think about it at the moment, because another scream sounded not far away.
The leader of the men in black looked at the corpse at his feet, his face extremely gloomy. He had never been so aggrieved now. Gathered together by the other party as a live target, scattered and then broken by each other, in the forest, surrounded by pitch black, the enemy has no intentions, and their own side can only be beaten passively.
The leader of the man in black was in his heart, and said indignantly in his heart: "Third Elder, now I can only offend you!"
"Listen to the order, turn back to the village!" he ordered.
The leader of the men in black didn't expect that it was his decision that directly eliminated Chi Yue's suspicion of Chen Youzhi, and also made his own strength hidden in the shadows surface more quickly.
At the same time, in the city of heavenly fortunes.
Due to the arrival of the three princes and the thirteen princesses of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, the city of Heavenly Fortune became very lively. The people put up lanterns, and the whole Tianyun City was festive.
The city lord's mansion is feasting guests. The people present were all figures with faces in Tianyun City.
The city lord Ji Ran, the deputy city lord Xiao Jingxuan, the general of the city garrison Ke Wei, and the heads of the major families in the city are all there. If it were in the past, these people were all people who had attracted the attention of all parties in Tianyun City. But now, they're just foils.
Tianyun City, after all, is just a city of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, and the people here are still just the people of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. So tonight, the three princes and the thirteen princesses are the protagonists.
However, when everyone was pushing the cups and changing the lamps, their eyes kept looking at the man in purple robe sitting on the right side of the third prince, and his eyes were full of awe.
Although Tianyun City is usually run by the city lord, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this purple-robed man is the actual controller of Tianyun City.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Ji Ran put down his wine glass and said: "I don't know what is important for the third prince's trip to Tianyun City, if you can use Ji's place, you will do your best!"
Liu Meng smiled slightly, "Lord Ji Cheng is serious! The reason why I came to Tianyun City this time is just because the imperial sister is bored in the palace, and she wants to come out and walk around, so she pulls me here, but there is the city lord and you who have bothered!"
Although Liu Meng has no intention of competing for the throne, he was born in the palace, and he has seen a lot of various scenes, and he can cope with some scenes.
"I don't know how the itinerary of the third prince is arranged?" Xiao Jingxuan asked seemingly casually.
Liu Meng's gaze moved slightly, fell on the purple-robed man, and said with a bright smile: "This prince has just arrived in Tianyun City, and he doesn't know much about the environment here, I don't know if Mr. Zhuang has any good suggestions?"
The purple-robed man is Zhuang Han!
Hearing Liu Meng ask, Zhuang Han smiled gently, "The third prince is polite, he is just a martial artist and a rough man, how can he be worthy of the title of Mr!
Liu Meng's eyes lit up, "I want to hear about it!"
"I wonder if the Third Prince has ever heard of the Black Magic Mountain?" Zhuang Han asked.
"Black Devil Mountain, this prince has naturally heard of it!" Liu Meng's eyes were puzzled, and he looked at Zhuang Han, "I don't know if Mr. Zhuang has any good suggestions? Is it related to this Black Devil Mountain?"
Zhuang Han smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and brought it to his lips but didn't drink it, "I wonder if the third prince has ever heard of the rumors of the Black Demon Mountain?"
"This prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was only limited to hearing about many things in the outside world. Regarding the rumors of the Black Magic Mountain, this prince has also heard some of them. Speaking of this, Liu Meng looked at Zhuang Han. "It is rumored that the Black Magic Mountain is a paradise for demon beasts and a forbidden place for human beings! I also heard that the Black Demon Mountain is ruled by powerful spirit beasts, I don't know if it is or not?"
After Liu Meng finished speaking, Zhuang Han raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup. Said with a smile: "What the third prince said is right! So, isn't the third prince interested in this Black Magic Mountain?"
When he said this, Zhuang Han stared at the eyes of the third prince with a smile on his face.
After Liu Meng listened to Zhuang Han's words, his eyes lit up at first, but then he didn't wrinkle lightly. "Mr. Zhuang laughed, there are many dangers in the Black Devil Mountain, how dare you risk your life with your meager cultivation!"
"Hehe! Zhuang just mentioned it casually, since the third prince has no intention, then give up!" Zhuang Han smiled, his expression and tone were quite casual.
It's just that Ji Ran, Xiao Jingxuan and the others smelled an unusual smell from Zhuang Han's words. They have dealt with Zhuang Han for several years, and they know that Zhuang Han is by no means a targeted person, and since they mentioned Black Magic Mountain at this moment, there must be some purpose. It's just that they can't figure out what Zhuang Han wants to do if they want to break their heads. In the end, I had to give up.
