Qingyun City, in the front hall of a luxurious mansion, dozens of Scarlet Alliance masters with good cultivation gathered around a huge metal cage more than five meters high, and the black cloth that had been covered before had been torn off, revealing a human body similar to a demonic beast with a pitch-black body and a hideous appearance, and his thick arms tightly grasped the iron pillar on the side of the cage, violently shaking it, but not moving at all.

"Who are you?!"

"Let me out! Let me out!!"

Xie Lao frantically slammed into the iron cage, but unfortunately the strength obviously showed signs of being sealed, and the force of the impact was also the level of an ordinary intermediate warrior;

What made him feel even more dangerous was that all of these people around him were eight-star level masters, and each of them also wore a badge on their chests that all the Scarlet Alliance Marauders avoided and were good against.

Royal Mercenaries!

After noticing this situation, Xie Lao was even more unwilling in his heart, and hit the iron cage harder again and again, hoping that someone could explain his doubts.

Since leaving the sea and losing contact with Xu Wen and the others, he has sneaked all the way back to the Scarlet Alliance from Feng Wuguo, and with the help of the Breath Pill, he finally found a temporary place to live.

But the good times didn't last long!

The number of Breath Pills was limited, and when they were almost consumed, Xie Lao finally revealed his identity! He was pursued by several mercenary groups at the same time, and then began to flee in embarrassment, and he had no fixed place to live.

Until some time ago, he was inexplicably surrounded by a group of mysterious people, without asking a word, he searched for the medicine bottles on his body, and sent them directly into the territory of the Qingyun Empire.

Unknown panic and uneasiness filled Xie Lao's body and mind.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he could also tell from the conversation he vaguely heard along the way and the name of 'Xu Wen' mentioned that it was related to his master.

It's a pity that the news that Xu Wen arrived in the Dark Empire safely, and only a few intelligence networks in the Scarlet Alliance know, he naturally doesn't know if Xu Wen had an accident with Bodong of the Dark Empire, and he was confused and uneasy along the way.

"Deputy Commander!"

"Second son!"

At this moment, a group of people in the front hall suddenly turned to the group of three people who strode in from the outside, and shouted at the same time.

The second son, who has so many masters and honorific titles at the same time, is it not ...... Old Xie hurriedly turned his face.

Seeing this, my heart trembled!

Sure enough...... Known as the most powerful and arrogant young man in the Scarlet Alliance, the righteous son of the Regent, and the second son of the first strong man 'Philip Pro' - Philip Jones!

The invisible oppression suddenly made Xie Lao speechless.

He watched as Philip Jones walked into the antechamber and walked straight towards him, his demonized body as if he could not bear the pounding heart in his chest.

"Are you sure it's him?"

Philip Jones asked contemptuously as he glanced at the suddenly silent behemoth in the cage.

One person stepped forward and gave his hand:

"Hui Gongzi's words, I participated in the hunting operation, and witnessed this guy return to normal human form from a demonic state after taking the medicine, which is the same as the rumors, and there are a few similar pills here, please check the ......"

"Hmm. ”

Taking the medicine bottle handed by the man, Philip Jones nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xie Lao in the cage, poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, and threw it to the person next to him without hesitation: "Give it to him." ”

Hearing this, although Xie Lao understood that taking the Breath Pills did not do him any harm, he subconsciously gave birth to a trace of resistance, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Adversity!

Before he could move his steps, the white shadow in front of him flickered, and an elemental whip wrapped around his neck like a snake, one strangulation, one tight, Xie Lao snorted, there was no resistance at all, and the huge body was dragged and hit on the cage, his jaw hurt, he opened his mouth, and a pill was thrown in.

A series of movements happened extremely quickly, but Philip Jones didn't even look at it, until Xie Lao's body changed rapidly, miraculously shrunk, and changed back to the appearance of an old man, then he raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a little surprise.

"Can you refine this medicine?"

Looking at Xie Lao, who had become weaker and thinner, with the tone of the imposing tone of a natural superior, he spit out of Philip Jones's mouth with great arrogance.

"Childe, he's a dark mage, not an alchemist, and ...... If he knew how to do alchemy, he wouldn't have revealed his demonic form in front of people. ”

Someone came out to explain.

Philip Jones sighed and muttered:

"In this way, the rumors are not groundless, but Xu Wen fell into the hands of that mage of the Dark Empire, and it is precisely because he is proficient in refining the 'Reduction Pill' that he has not been killed. ”

"Childe is wise, now that Xu Wen's soul slave is in our hands, and with the 'Restoration Pill', the faint monarch of the Qingyun Empire, there must be nothing to say now." ”

"That's not necessarily, the soul slave can't say anything unfavorable to the master, and the soul flame may be snuffed out at any time, when the time comes, as long as Xu Wen insists that he won't refine the Reduction Pill, none of us can force it. ”

As soon as someone retorted, a laugh rang out in the crowd:

"You don't have to worry, a small soul slave contract can't be difficult for me. The speaker stepped forward and lifted his cloak, revealing an unusually young and handsome face.

"Master Earth?"

Everyone talked and was excited.

Master Earth is one of the few nine-star priests in the Soul Continent, and he cherishes it like a nine-star peak demon dragon - it is said that as long as Master Earth is in the city, no one dares to attack.

Because the positive group auxiliary effect of the nine-star level can cover a radius of kilometers, it greatly increases the combat effectiveness of friendly troops in a short period of time and reduces the morale of enemy monsters.

"Master Tu actually came here in person! Great! With the master here, as long as the relationship between Xu Wen and his master and servant is proved, and then the contract backlash of the soul slave is suppressed, and the matter of restoring the Dan cannot be denied by Xu Wen!"

"What do you think?"

After saluting the earth master, Philip Jones looked at the man in the cage lightly:

"I, Philip Jones, can promise you that as long as you are willing to help us testify against your master, Xu Wen, I will give you back your freedom, and grant you a small town, glory and wealth, so that you can walk freely in the Scarlet Alliance. "The arrogant Philip Jones does have the right to promise the position of a small city lord, and besides, exchanging a small town for the surname of the youngest nine-star genius in the Soul Continent, even his father will not refuse.

Xie Lao looked at the Yushu Linfeng suspiciously, but the 'Earth Master', who had been famous for decades, the latter seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and with a wave of one hand, a holy white light slapped into his body:

"My appearance can be changed at will, as long as I want...... Well, you can now speak your mind freely without worrying about the constraints that the soul contract gives you. Master Tu's voice was very soft, with a strange magic power, which penetrated deep into Xie Lao's heart.

The latter's gaze suddenly became dazed...... "When did you and Xu Wen meet?" ”

Compared with the bewitching magic of the undead and dark systems, the powerful hypnosis of the Nine Star Priest is obviously a higher level, and it only takes a little effort in the early stage, and under the absolute spiritual suppression, Xie Lao can't afford to resist at all.

Of course!

Seals also played no small role.

In the hall, with some deeds slowly narrated from Xie Lao's mouth, the faces of a group of people began to change...... Including the earth master, after hearing that Xu Wen himself was indeed a necromancer, and at the same time had an amazing comprehension surname, beast taming ability, and alchemy ability, his face changed greatly.

But that's not the worst of it...... Young geniuses, tens of billions of people in the Soul Continent, an excellent genius will be born almost every moment, although it is not as perverted as Xu Wen, but there are very few who can successfully get to Xu Wen's step, because most of these geniuses die halfway because of their own surnames or other reasons.

Even if it is Xu Wen, before he reaches the Nine Stars, there is no threat to the Scarlet Alliance, and he can be strangled at any time.

However, from Xie Lao's cognition and description of Xu Wen, everyone could clearly perceive Xu Wen's meticulous thoughts, cautious attitude towards the world, and the confidence and smoothness of dealing with the nine-star powerhouse.

That's pretty scary!

If Xu Wen is not killed in the short term...... The Qingyun Empire will not only have an extra nine-star fire method, an eight-star alchemist, a nine-star necromancer, but even a ghost talent who will have the ability of a nine-star beast tamer!

But the most excited and can't wait is Philip Jones!

If the previous Xu Wen had made him feel unprecedented pressure, then the current Xu Wen had given him an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This feeling is even stronger than when he competed with Rand for the position of captain of the Royal Mercenary Regiment!

"Learning necromancy alone is enough to punish him with a capital offense. ”

Philip Jones said:

"It's just that this kid has also refined something as evil as the Restoration Dan...... Once the Restoration Pill fell into the hands of the Dark Empire, it was manufactured in large quantities, and a group of demonized eight-star dark mages were comparable in strength to eight-star peak demon swordsmen and junior nine-star powerhouses...... None of our Scarlet Alliance can resist it! This time, if the emperor of the Qingyun Empire still intends to protect him, I will directly destroy Xu Wen and lead people to withdraw from the territory of Qingyun!"

“......”

Master Tu frowned slightly.

Although he knew that Philip Jones had a natural hostility towards the extremely talented young man, this time, this person named Xu Wen had already touched their bottom line.

If you let him grow up...... I'm afraid that the major main halls will also set off violent oscillations.

Moreover!

The grand event of the main hall once in fifty years is related to the ten-star battle, and it is only the last two years left, at this time, any unstable factors will be rejected by all the nine-star powerhouses.

Especially a perverted ghost like Xu Wen.

In more than two years, he has grown from a civilian boy to a great magician of several professions, and Jiuxing may not be long after.

Whether it was them who had been waiting for decades, or the Dark Empire, who had been secretly recuperating for hundreds of years, would not allow such a fledgling kid to squeeze into this road so quickly.
