Hearing Shangguan Xiu suddenly say the word 'palace', the two young men in white and green clothes turned their heads to look at him in unison.

Facing the eyes of the young man in white, Shangguan Xiu, who recognized the wrong person, smiled politely at him, turned around and was about to leave, when the young man in white opened his mouth and asked, "Do we know each other?"

His voice was low, sounding like he was deliberately muffling it, but it was magnetic.

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I don't know." With that, he turned and walked over to the crowd watching the jugglers not far away.

Until he walked a long way, he could still feel a pair of fierce eyes shooting from behind him.

Watching Shangguan Xiu disappear into the crowd, the young man in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: "Your Highness shouldn't come to join in this excitement tonight, it's too dangerous." ”

The young man in white smiled disapprovingly, retracted his gaze, and said casually while playing with the delicate ball in his hand: "Ye, let people follow him and find out what his origin is." ”

The other party blurted out the word 'palace' just now, obviously to say His Royal Highness, but the young man in white had the impression that he didn't know him, and he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes and trousers, just a civilian, how could a civilian see him?

The young man in Tsing Yi nodded in response, turned back to look back, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu's back. Soon, two men in civilian clothes near them quickly chased after them.

The conversation between the two of them was so low that the vendor standing behind the stall didn't hear it.

The peddler said to the white-clothed young man with a smile on his face: "The guest officer really has a vision, this exquisite ball is the treasure of the shop, if the guest officer likes it, he can take it away for only five taels of silver." ”

The young man in white smiled, raised his gaze, and landed on the peddler's face. Under his gaze, the peddler clearly felt a pressure coming over him, and he involuntarily shivered and stammered, "Three...... Three or two can also be used. ”

"Hehe!" The corners of the white-clothed young man's mouth raised, he smiled indifferently, put the Linglong ball back on the stall, put one hand behind his back, and slowly shook the silver-faced folding fan with the other, and walked away.

He was still curious about the identity of the young man just now, and his habit was that the more things that made him curious, the more he had to find out.

At this time, in the center of the crowd, there were several big men on stilts, each holding a torch in their hands, several big men spat into the torch from time to time, and a ball of flame also erupted from their mouths, causing bursts of shouts and applause from around.

Shangguan Xiu stood on the periphery of the crowd and raised his eyes to look inside, and suddenly there was a sneer from beside him: "Carving insect skills!"

He looked sideways, and the young man in white he had met in front of the stall just now had stood beside him at some point.

He was dressed in white, with a white scarf on his head, white boots under his feet, and a silver fan in his hand.

When Shangguan Xiu looked at him, he turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Have we met before?"

"Nope. Shangguan Xiu shook his head affirmatively.

A young man with such a handsome appearance and such an outstanding temperament, if he had seen him, he would definitely have a deep impression. However, he does look too similar to the second prince, not like carved out of a mold, but at least six or seven points of acquaintance.

"Haven't you seen it?" said the young man in white with a smile, "However, you seemed surprised when you saw me just now, and you still called me 'What is the palace'?"

"I recognized the wrong person. ”

"Oh, then tell me, who did you mistake me for just now?" The young man in white chased after him, not giving Shangguan Xiu a chance to avoid the question at all.

Just when Shangguan Xiu didn't know how to answer, people shouted from the end of the street: "Lantern team!

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer the other party's question, he turned his eyes to look, and saw a 'big boat' coming by at the end of the street, this boat-shaped lantern was built almost the same size as a real ship, the hull was yellow, the canopy was red, and it emitted a red and yellow light outward, which was spectacular.

Because there are so many people on the street, the boat-shaped lanterns are really like gliding in the water when they are pushed forward, and there are thunderous applause and cheers around the lanterns.

Behind the boat-shaped lanterns there are huge lotus-shaped lanterns with girls in light veils dancing slowly, and further back, there are all kinds of giant lanterns, such as those in the shape of animals and buildings.

With the appearance of the lantern team, the atmosphere of the scene has also been pushed to the first, people's cheers, screams, whistles one after another, businesses on both sides of the street have also lit firecrackers at the door, the crackling sound of firecrackers in all directions, and beautiful fireworks appear in the air from time to time.

The young man in white finally took his eyes off Shangguan Xiu, and while shaking the folding fan lightly, he looked at the lantern team with a smile, and seemed to be enjoying it.

At this time, a carp-shaped lantern came by. This big lantern is four or five meters long, because of its huge size, a total of four horses pull it in front, and there are more than 20 strong men on both sides and behind it.

The giant carp lantern moves slowly, and the onlookers can take a closer look at it.

When the lanterns arrived in front of Shangguan Xiu and the young man in white, something unexpected happened.

With a soft thud, a crossbow bolt suddenly shot out of the carp's belly. The crossbow arrow pierced through the paper skin on the outside of the lantern and flew straight at the white-clothed youth standing in the crowd.

The scene was too noisy and chaotic, and it was dark, and no one noticed that the inside of the lantern shot a sharp weapon.

However, Shangguan Xiu was keenly aware of it. When the crossbow bolt was about to fly past him, the strong wind brought by the arrow through the sky blew on his face, making his skin tingle.

He didn't even think about it, it was completely instinctive, he raised his hand to look out, and when he heard a bang, his palm grabbed the crossbow arrow that flew over.

The moment he grabbed the crossbow arrow, the edge of the crossbow arrow was less than three inches away from the face of the white-clothed young man.

If his shot was half a minute slower, the crossbow arrow would have to be nailed to the face of the white-clothed young man, and if you look closely at the arrows of the crossbow arrows, they are blue and watery, obviously soaked in poison.

This situation made the young man in white change color, and the young man in green clothes standing beside him was also taken aback, and couldn't help but scream. He grabbed the arm of the young man in white and pulled him behind him, and then shouted to Shangguan Xiu in shock and anger: "Bold!"

The young man in Tsing Yi and the young man in white had never practiced spiritual martial arts, and they didn't see the crossbow arrow shot out of the lantern at all, but only saw that Shangguan Xiu was holding the crossbow arrow in his hand, as if he was about to stab the face of the young man in white.

Before he finished speaking, the carp-shaped lantern had already stopped, and before the people around could figure out what was going on, they heard a loud noise, and more than ten spiritual cultivators wearing spirit armor and holding spirit soldiers suddenly burst out of the belly of the carp lantern.

They bumped into the outer layer of paper of the lantern, fell outside the lantern, raised their eyes and glanced at the young man in white, and then more than ten cultivators shouted in unison, each copying the guy, and flew towards the young man in white.

One of them was the fastest, and he jumped high in front of the crowd, he jumped high, in the air, holding the spirit spear in both hands, using the spirit spear as a stick, and with the help of the inertia of falling, he smashed the top of the white-clothed young man's head with the help of the inertia of falling.

"There are assassins!" the young man in Tsing Yi yelled, covering the young man in white with his body and retreating again and again.

But what is his flesh and blood in front of the spirit soldiers, if he is really hit by the assassin's spirit spear, neither the young man in green clothes nor the young man in white will survive.

At this moment, a cultivator wearing black spirit armor suddenly appeared behind the assassin.

You must know that the assassin was in the air at this time, and the black spirit armor cultivator appeared completely out of thin air behind him, and the spirit knife in his hand was inserted into the back of the assassin's heart.

Burst!

The black spirit armor cultivator appeared too suddenly, unexpectedly, completely defenseless, and his sudden knife pierced through the spirit armor on the assassin's body, and the edge of the spirit knife pierced into the back of his heart, poking out in his chest.

The Assassin didn't even scream, and was killed while he was still in the air. His corpse fell from the sky, and the cultivator in black spirit armor landed beside him, pulling the spirit knife out of the corpse with force.

He glanced back at the young man in white, then turned his head to look at the oncoming Assassins.

With a knife in one hand, he swung it to the side, and a trail of blood splattered on the ground. At the same time, more than a dozen clouds of black mist were released behind him, and immediately after, more than a dozen cultivators like him, covered in black spirit armor, appeared out of thin air like ghosts.

The spirit armor on their bodies was black from head to toe, and the spirit knives in their hands were also black, looking like powerful ghosts had come out of the ground.

Their cold eyes stared at the assassin on the other side, and as the leader of the cultivator snapped, all the black spirit armor cultivators rushed forward in unison, fighting the assassins in one place.

Shangguan Xiu, who was watching the battle, was shocked, he had only heard of the dark spirit cultivators before, and it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

The current dark spirit cultivators can only be described as pitiful, extremely rare, of course, this is also absolutely related to the strength of the light spirit martial arts and the weakness of the dark spirit martial arts.

It is difficult to say clearly which is better and which is bad, which is stronger and which is weak, but because there are far more people who cultivate the light spirit martial arts than those who cultivate the dark spirit martial arts, it is true that the light spirit martial arts has been continuously improved and carried forward from generation to generation.

At this time, seeing more than a dozen dark cultivators appear at the same time, Shangguan Xiu's mood could only be described as shocked.

In addition, he could also see that these dark spirit cultivators appeared to protect the young man in white, which made him even more puzzling, what was the identity of the young man in white, and he was able to recruit so many dark spirit cultivators as his guards.
