Chapter 108: The Guide
Ten days later.
"Third Senior Brother, I feel that something seems to be wrong. ”
On a small island within a radius of only a few miles, a small village has been completely razed to the ground, surrounded by trembling villagers, Qi Minghua and a dozen other people stood in the middle of the ruins of the village, looking around with puzzled eyes.
An older Xingchenlou disciple pulled Qi Minghua and said: "In the past ten days, as long as we show our identities, all we receive is strong malice, except for the extraordinary, even these ordinary villagers dare to call us demons, this is too abnormal, can it be said that Qi Wanli's hand has been stretched out so long?"
Qi Minghua also shook his head and said, "It's really weird." ”
He waved his hand, and a young man villager next to him, who was kneeling on the ground and tearful, was grabbed by the neck by an invisible force, directly lifted up, and levitated into the air.
The rest of the villagers were all shocked when they saw it, but they didn't dare to move.
"You say. Qi Minghua said coldly: "Why did you all want to run away after hearing that we were from the Star Tower?"
The man kicked his legs in mid-air and did not speak.
"You'd better be honest. A disciple of Xingchen Tower next to him said, "It is precisely because you want to escape, not because you want to do something to us, otherwise, you would have all died a long time ago!"
The man struggled for a while, gasped and said, "You, you are all the subordinates of the old demon of the stars, he is the old demon, you are naturally a demon......
The disciples of Xingchen Tower on the side raised their eyebrows and glared when they heard this, and they burst into a murderous aura, but Qi Minghua felt strange: "Xingchen Old Demon?"
Of course, this ordinary villager didn't know how to explain what the Star Old Demon was, so he could only say bitterly: "The divine envoy will definitely come down from the sky and kill you all......
"Oracle?"
Qi Minghua asked, "Are you talking about the divine envoy of the Abyss Temple?"
However, the man had already rolled his eyes by this time, and he had been hanging in the air by the neck for too long, and he was almost suffocating.
Qi Minghua frowned, waved his hand, and threw the man far away, falling into the crowd of villagers.
A cloud of suspicion began to hover above the heads of everyone in the Star Tower.
"Third Senior Brother, what should I do?" someone asked.
Qi Minghua thought for a while and said slowly: "In this case, we can't go directly to the sea capital, we don't even know the direction there, the way to get in, and it's difficult to distinguish between friend and foe on the sea, so it's very passive...... You have to figure out what this is all about. ”
Someone else asked, "Otherwise, let's go back and report to the master first?"
Qi Minghua glared at him: "Are you stupid? Don't you know what temper Shizun has? We went around the sea and didn't do anything, we just killed people, after we go back, be careful that Shizun picks your skin!"
The bodies of all the Xingchen Tower disciples trembled slightly.
"Okay, no more talk, listen to me. He thought about it again and said, "Next, we will act separately, more than a dozen people together, the goal is too big." Moreover, next you hide your identity, don't say that you are a person from the Star Tower, only say that you are a traveler, inquire about the ins and outs, give you two days, and after two days, come back here to gather. ”
"What about these villagers?"
Qi Minghua looked around at the villagers around him in annoyance, and blurted out: "Kill." ”
"Slow !!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from a distance!
The disciples of Xingchen Tower were startled, and followed the prestige, only to see a man coming from the sea outside the island, obviously an abyss messenger, but he couldn't see any murderous aura from him, but his face was full of anxiety.
"Who?!" A Xingchen Tower disciple stood up, unleashing a powerful momentum, ready to meet it.
However, instead of fighting him, the Abyssal Emissary made a quick salute as he approached a few people!
"How many, but the messengers of the Star Tower?"
Qi Minghua squinted, glanced at his fellow disciples beside him, and motioned for them to go and test it.
An older disciple nodded, stepped forward, and said, "Who are you?"
The Abyss Envoy was a man in his thirties and forties, and his strength realm was no more than the fourth order, and he said with a bitter face, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a sentinel of the Abyss Temple...... Please let these villagers go, they are also deceived by people's rumors!"
The disciples of Xingchen Tower looked at each other, and their doubts were even stronger.
"You could be clearer. ”
The Abyss Emissary said, "My Excellency, I only know the surface and the inside story, can you please come with me to the base and let the Bishop explain it to you?"
The words "stronghold" and "bishop" lit up the eyes of all the disciples.
"What's your name?" Qi Minghua asked.
The abyssal messenger bowed his head and said respectfully, "The villain Zeng Ah Niu. ”
"Zeng Ah Niu. Qi Minghua nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”
Under the leadership of Zeng Aniu, more than a dozen Skywalkers left the small island that was already in ruins, leaving an island of villagers who were overwhelmed and went to sea again.
This Zeng Aniu's strength realm is obviously low, it seems that he has just broken through to the fourth order, he can only fly in a short distance and at a low altitude against the wind, and the speed of treading the waves is also very slow, only the speed of the water escape is slightly faster, but if he escapes on the bottom of the sea, it is not very easy to lead the way for the disciples of Xingchen Tower, so he can only be taken by the disciples of Xingchen Tower to fly.
"How did you find us?"
At Qi Minghua's suggestion, the disciples of Xingchen Tower asked Zeng Aniu questions one by one.
After all, such a person who suddenly appeared claiming to be a sentinel of the Abyss Temple was still very suspicious, although his attitude was respectful. If they don't ask clearly, they can't rest assured, who knows if this kid will lead them into some trap?
Zeng Aniu said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you don't know, we were originally chasing a rebel team, they are the personal soldiers of the rebel leader, they are powerful and secretive, we have been following for a long time, but three days ago, we suddenly found that they died in a rebel outpost passing through......
He described the so-called "rebel squad" and "rebel sentry", and the disciples of Xingchen Tower listened to it, and suddenly remembered a sentry post that was slaughtered by them three or four days ago, when there was indeed a master at the peak of the fourth order, and his combat power was quite strong, and he was still able to fight with the disciples of the fifth order of Xingchen Tower, but he was still killed by Qi Minghua, who had the strength of the sixth order.
"You say, they're rebels? Where are the rebels?" someone asked.
Zeng explained: "Since His Majesty the Pope took charge of the sea, a group of people have appeared, claiming to be the messengers of the Supreme Abyss Lord, who have spread rumors among the common people in an attempt to replace the rule of the Temple...... Now, they have built up a lot of prestige at the edge of the ocean, and have captured a large number of weak and land-facing outposts of the temple. ”
Qi Minghua didn't hold back and asked, "Then why are they so hostile to Xingchen Tower?"
Zeng Aniu smiled bitterly: "Not long ago, His Majesty the Pope sent someone to Xingchen Tower to ask for help, this news somehow reached the ears of the rebels, and they were naturally on guard, and it is said that there was a rumor among the civilians, saying that the pirate group that was rampant on the sea some time ago was also a subordinate of Xingchen Tower, and the leader was a 'Star Old Demon', so that the common people also resented Xingchen Tower...... So, as I said, those villagers are just being deceived by the fallacy. ”
"Is that so?"
Qi Minghua asked, "What is the name of the leader of the rebels?"
Zeng Aniu's face was bitter: "Ladies and gentlemen, I really don't know ...... this."
Qi Minghua thought about it, an abyss envoy who had just broken through the fourth order was really nothing in the abyss temple where masters gathered, and it was normal to know less.
If, at this time, this person speaks eloquently and explains everything clearly, it is even more implausible.
After that, they caught Zeng Aniu and asked some questions, and Zeng Aniu answered them all properly, which made the confusion and uneasiness in the hearts of the disciples of Xingchen Tower put down a lot.
Soon, the group followed Zeng Aniu to the destination, over a large stronghold.
"Ladies and gentlemen. ”
Zeng Aniu said: "The following stronghold, called the Dragon Claw Station, is the branch hall of our temple in the sky and sea, and the bishop is already waiting for you in the temple. ”
A Xingchen Tower disciple heard something wrong: "Aren't you going down with us?"
"How come?" Zeng Aniu smiled: "It's just that it's not good for us to fly down directly from the world, so it's better to follow the normal way of reporting." ”
The disciples of Xingchen Tower thought about it, after all, a person is a bishop, at least a master above the fifth order, and the basic etiquette has to be taught.
So, they followed Zeng Aniu in a circle, flew to the edge of the big island where the Dragon Claw Post was located, and met the soldiers guarding the stronghold.
Zeng Aniu showed a token to the soldiers without changing his face and said, "We have come to see the Bishop." ”
When the soldiers saw the token, their faces were shocked, and they showed respectful looks, and without hesitation, they welcomed their group to the island.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones have a mission next, so they won't accompany them. ”
Walking all the way to the periphery of the temple of the stronghold, Zeng Aniu suddenly saluted to the people in the Star Tower and said.
Qi Minghua nodded: "Well, you go get busy." ”
Zeng Aniu saluted respectfully again, and all the etiquette was flawless, and then he quickly left and disappeared.
The disciples of the Star Tower, led by the soldiers of the temple, came all the way to the depths of the temple.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in front of you is the Bishop's study. The temple soldier who led the way said, "The villain is going to help you pass the word, and I don't know your identity yet?"
A disciple of the Star Tower smiled reservedly and said, "We are the disciples of the Star Tower. ”
“......”
In the next second, he saw the temple soldier's face change from a respectful smile to a stiff look of surprise, and finally to horror and anger.
At the same time, a strong murderous aura began to rise in the entire temple!
"Oh no, it's an ambush!" the disciples of the Star Tower were shocked!
