And the state, Zhiwei Book House.

The door of the bookstore that is never closed on weekdays is closed today, for some reason, the door is closed in broad daylight, which makes the originally depressed bookstore even more depressed at this time.

The second floor of the book house.

Lao Huang, a young bookkeeper, carried a feather duster who didn't know how many hairs had fallen, and gently waved it, constantly brushing away the dust on the dense bookshelves, orderly, but it didn't seem easy.

All around, there were black-robed adjudicators.

Unlike before, these adjudicators all wore masks, and their own gloves to show their status were also worn on their hands, neatly aligned, and under the loose black robes, each with its own sharp weapon. As far as the eye could see, there were as many as fifty people.

Huo Yi wore white gloves and the mask that he hadn't used for a long time, standing at the back of the crowd, not daring to breathe.

Not only Huo Yi, but even the four rank adjudicators in the forefront all stopped quietly without exception, and no one dared to move in the slightest.

In the face of such a huge formation, the old yellow head did not appear flustered at all, and he didn't even glance at these solemn and well-equipped adjudicators, but just gently stroked the dust, one bookshelf after another, extremely carefully.

For a long time, when Lao Huang stopped in front of the Chen family's bookshelf that had not been turned over for a long time, squinted his eyes, and said softly: "Have all the people arrived?"

One of the fourth-grade adjudicators closest to the old yellow head hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qiqi, there are still two people missing. ”

The old yellow man laughed.

Suddenly, there was an incomparably chilling chill on the second floor of the entire bookstore, which made people tremble, and all the adjudicators felt a downright murderous intent in their backs.

"Two, it's a lot better than I expected. The old yellow head didn't lift his head, and stretched out a feather duster to brush off the dust on the materials.

Silence, dead silence.

The fourth-grade adjudicator, whose status in the state was not low, was stunned, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

The higher the adjudicator, the higher his status, the higher his cultivation, and the more rules there are. And this time, for Lord Huang's convocation, this four-rank adjudicator did not dare to have the slightest disobedience, and hurriedly issued an order to summon all the adjudicators currently stationed in the state.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can feel that today's Bingzhou can be regarded as the silence before the storm, and he alone has received a lot of news, and many oxen and coaxing sects on the rivers and lakes have infiltrated the city of Bingzhou, and it is even rumored that the head of the demon tribe has also arrived in the city.

What this means, goes without saying.

But at this time when the situation is tense, there are two people missing, and they are still their own descendants, how can this four-grade adjudicator not be nervous?

"Order, go down, and give a ruling order to the two adjudicators who did not come to report, as long as the heads. Lao Huang finally spoke, his tone was extremely calm, but the entire adjudicators on the second floor were shocked.

Because you don't come to report on time, you have to kill the killer?

The four-rank adjudicator didn't object in the slightest, just nodded slightly.

Huo Yi, who was standing at the end of the crowd, only felt a chill in his back, although he didn't know who the two adjudicators who had not come to report were who they were, but anyone who could stand here was without exception the best in the entire continent, and they were the mainstay of the adjudicator organization.

Just when Huo Yi was thinking wildly, the crowd standing in front of him suddenly moved out of the way, and the old yellow stared directly at Huo Yi standing at the back of the crowd, expressionless.

Huo Yi was startled, hurriedly lowered his head, cold sweat flowed, and his hands began to tremble. I was shocked in my heart, could it be that this old man could see through people's thoughts?

"Your name is Huo Yi?" asked Lao Huang softly in a slightly hoarse voice.

Huo Yi nodded hurriedly, and his legs began to tremble.

Who is this person in front of him? Huo Yi didn't know, but if he could make the four rank adjudicators bow their heads and lower their eyebrows, how could it be an ordinary person.

In the past, when Huo Yi walked into the Zhiwei Book House countless times and saw this expressionless old man, he only thought that he was a book keeper, but he never thought that he could have such a high status among the adjudicators.

"Young people, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too smart, but you can learn from that hippie smiling Chen Tianze. ”

As soon as these words came out, some of the adjudicators were at a loss, obviously not knowing who Chen Tianze was, and the other part of the adjudicators were stunned for a moment.

The adjudicator who disappeared a month ago?

There are many fifth-grade and even fourth-grade adjudicators within the adjudicator who have heard of this guy, but he has no cultivation but has raised a giant beast that has always been fierce, and has successfully climbed all the way from the ninth-grade adjudicator to the middle-grade adjudicator, which makes many people wonder.

It's just that the person who took over Chen Tianze was not any five-grade adjudicator, but a high-grade adjudicator from the imperial capital, and his identity was not known to outsiders, so all the adjudicators dispelled the idea of finding out.

Therefore, Chen Tianze mistakenly thought that no one would disturb him after entering the state, but it was actually a beautiful misunderstanding.

Huo Yi, who heard this, didn't know what to say, but was stunned on the spot in embarrassment. It's not that he doesn't know the news of Chen Tianze's disappearance, and if nothing else, this guy has died in Kuaijian Villa, why is Lao Huang mentioning this now?

"Alright, let's go down and prepare. Lao Huang ignored the trembling Huo Yi, just pointed to the door and gave the order to evict the guests.

All the adjudicators retreated in good spirits, except for the fourth-rank adjudicator, who stood motionless.

"You go and watch, if there is someone wrong, it will be decided directly. Lao Huang said softly.

The overlay four-rank adjudicator nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "What about Huo Yi?"

"I don't have big skills, but I have small problems. Keep it, someone will clean him up. Lao Huang was stunned for a moment and waved his hand.

The black-clad adjudicator nodded, and quietly retreated.

Lao Huang continued to sweep the dust, and after about an hour, all the bookshelves were cleaned, and Lao Huang walked to the corner, took out a white mask from a box, held it in his hand, and chuckled: "Since you are the adjudicator, how can you do it without covering your face?"

――

Thirty miles to the south of Bingzhou, there is a town that is not big or small, called Nuanquan Town. Because the town is located in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by dense and towering mountains, but there are hot springs overflowing in the middle all year round, attracting many people to rest, and over time it has become a town.

The town is not large, but it is very luxuriously built.

The surrounding pavilions are towering, and the bluestone slabs of the streets are even more excessive than the prosperous city of Bingzhou.

Outsiders can't imagine why a small town could be built so luxuriously, but those who live here know that this is not a simple and ordinary town, but a gathering place for rich and noble families.

The town of Warm Springs, which has both hot springs and scenery, has been known for the day an elderly tycoon has spent a fortune to build a luxurious house for his retirement. Subsequently, many successful people in the business field and powerful people in the officialdom began to follow suit, and built a manor here to escape the summer heat and winter cold, and the town was built in this way.

Approaching autumn, before winter, there are already intimate housekeepers and servants who have begun to take people to the town to carry some necessary items for winter, paving the way for the master in advance.

Therefore, the town is bustling with pedestrians.

On the street, three inconspicuous people walked slowly, led by two old men in black, and then one was a tall and grim-faced young man.

The three of them walked and stopped, and from time to time pointed at the surrounding buildings, like guests who came to sightsee.

After walking for a long time, the two old men seemed to feel a little tired, so they randomly found a stone bench on the side of the street and sat down. The tall and cold man did not sit down, but stood behind the two without saying a word.

"Leng Yi, how is your recovery from your injuries?"

The old man, who had slightly gray hair and was relatively short in stature, asked with a smile.

"Uncle Xie is worried, and he has been cured. Leng Yi replied expressionlessly.

In this regard, the thin old man with gray hair didn't seem to care, just smiled and said softly: "I went to the place where you fought with the old man Yan with your master, and it really opened my eyes, I never thought that you would have such a terrifying cultivation at such a young age, and it would not be in vain for your master's cultivation of you, and in time you will definitely be able to enter the fairyland." ”

Leng Yi didn't speak.

The silver-haired old man smiled and accosted, "Of course, I also met that kid from the Chen family, which is really unexpected." ”

Leng Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Li Hongshan?"

The old man with crystal hair smiled and said nothing, just smiled and said, "Don't think that the sudden visit between me and your uncle is to hinder you from anything, on the contrary, it is our two bad old men who have to come." In the past, I always underestimated the remnants of the Chen family, but I didn't expect this guy to become the biggest change now, and even the old yellow head planned to protect him this time. ”

Leng Yi's face turned cold.

The thin old man who was called Uncle Shi by Leng Yi shook his hands, took out a package from his arms, handed it to Leng Yi, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi didn't come empty-handed this time, it's always reassuring to wear this thing." ”

Leng Yi was stunned for a moment, took the burden, and opened it to see that it was actually an armor, thin and light as a cicada's wings, but it exuded a faint and faint light, which made Leng Yi couldn't help but be shocked.

"Condensation?"

Leng Yi wondered.

The old man smiled and nodded.

Leng Yi's eyes couldn't be pulled out, and he gently stretched out his hand and stroked this most mysterious armor in the Holy Empire.

At the moment when his fingers just touched the armor, the armor seemed to be alive, beating flexibly, and the next moment it emitted a faint golden light, which swooped into Leng Yi's neckline and wrapped Leng Yi's body.

The two old men looked at the stunned Leng Yi with smiles on their faces, as if they were very proud.
