In the North Underworld City, in the middle of summer, the annual month-long Sacrifice Festival of the North Hades Mansion is in full swing.

It was almost noon, on the square in the city, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens hosted by the Northern Hell Marquis Mansion was going to a critical place, hundreds of priests dressed in black sat around the altar dozens of feet high, chanting incantations in their mouths, and the magic weapons in their hands resounded through the clouds.

Around the square, in front of various shops and restaurants, there are all kinds of people in different costumes, etc., and the commercial area demarcated by the Bei Hades Mansion is also full of small stalls, which is even more crowding and lively.

However, in front of one of the stalls farthest from the central plaza in the 7th business district, unlike the other stalls, there are many people here.

The stall owner is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with slender sword eyebrows on a jade-carved face, clear eyes like water, a straight nose, thin lips and teeth, and although the body of an ordinary green cloth robe, it still exudes grace and elegance and heroic spirit.

It's just that in this heroic and heroic atmosphere, there is a slight cold atmosphere and murderous aura that rejects people thousands of miles away, and the goods sold in his stall are only hand-carved dolls, which has caused a situation that few people care about.

The young man sat behind his booth with a flat expression, staring at the rituals that were taking place in the square. In the corner of the altar, there is a large number of name plates, which are the shrines of samurai and priests who have died in battles with foreign races, and his grandfather is among them.

It's just that there was no sadness on the young man's face, but a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Occasionally pick up a few grains of food to feed the strange bird that was a foot long on his shoulder. This bird is covered with red feathers like fire, with two golden feathers on its head, eagle beak, phoenix claws, peacock tail, eyes and four pupils, and looks full of spirituality.

Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a sudden noise in the direction of the North Hell Marquis Mansion in the distance, which attracted the attention of the young man in the green robe. He stared at it and saw five men and one woman in a group of six people, dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, rolling to the ground. When the pedestrians on the street saw this, they scattered as if they were hiding from the plague god.

The five men are richly dressed, talking and laughing and pointing with whips, quite extravagant, but there is a strong smell of gentleness between the extravagance. The girl who was surrounded by them was dressed in plain clothes, quiet and tranquil.

The green-robed young man's gaze swept away, directly locked on the five men, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly surged, startling the strange bird on his shoulder. The young man seemed to be reminded by a strange bird, quickly restrained his killing intent, withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and closed his eyes to recuperate. The strange bird also painted a gourd in the same way, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked detached.

In less than half an hour, the young man in the green robe felt something unusual, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near seemed to have stopped, and the noisy voices around him gradually quieted down, and at the same time, there were whispers in his ears.

"These five men and one woman are not small, they all see that their cultivation is all priests above the fifth order of the Basic Realm, what are they doing in front of this small stall? Could it be that this kid is selling treasures, and they can't take a fancy to it?"

"Come on, what kind of eyes do you have, and return the treasures, what treasures can he have, a third-order warrior of the Basic Realm? Don't you see that group of people are not kind to their eyes, this is obviously trying to trouble this kid. Oops, dare to offend the five tyrants of the Northern Underworld, this kid will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die. ”

"The Five Tyrants of the Northern Underworld, do you mean that they are Jiang Yi, the little marquis of the Northern Underworld, and the four young masters of the four major families? ”

"I don't know who this young man in the green robe is, in this case, he is still as stable as Mount Tai, don't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he is also a person with a big background, right?"

"Who knows, let's say a few words, I don't have to upset the little marquis, and if I get into trouble, I won't be able to eat and go around. ”

......

The little marquis Jiang Yi was obviously a little impatient at this time, his eyes widened, and he glanced at the surrounding crowd with a majestic face, and as his gaze swept over, the disturbing discussions stopped abruptly, and everyone bowed their heads and left quickly, for a while, there was no one nearby. Jiang Yi nodded with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his performance.

Licking his lips, Jiang Yi put on a proud look, raised his whip, pointed at the green-robed young man, and waited to speak. Unexpectedly, the young man who was motionless suddenly opened his eyes at this time, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Welcome to the stall, this stall sells and customizes puppet statues, the price is fair, the child is not bullied, see the five sons of Yushu in the wind, everyone loves them, why don't you try it?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yi was suddenly dumbfounded, and the words he had thought of were pushed back alive, and he couldn't help but blush. "Plop", the plain girl who was with them covered her mouth and chuckled lightly at this time, which made Jiang Yi and the others even more embarrassed. Obviously, they were just here to find trouble, but they were ruthlessly ignored by the boy in this almost playful way.

The color of rage slowly climbed up to Jiang Yi's face, and as a force of coercion rose to the sky, he shouted loudly: "Long Yan, don't pretend to be stupid here, the battle of Zini Island, the whole army of the expedition was wiped out, and you alone escaped from Ascension, and you actually dared to appear here, aren't you afraid that Hou Ye will take you down and correct the law on the spot?"

When the green-robed young man Long Yan heard this, he put away his smile, turned cold and said: "Jiang Yi, if you want to kill me, you can do it directly, don't find such a despicable excuse, why did you lose the battle of Zini Island, I'm afraid even your Hou Ye Dad can't tell the truth, right?"

"Hmph, now it's up to you to be stubborn, and when this matter is investigated, you will inevitably die. The blue-robed young man beside Jiang Yi said.

"Young Master Jia Renjia, right, don't be here with a dog-like pretense, your four major families are in cahoots with the Northern Hell Mansion, traffic aliens, the battle of Zini Island, do you dare to say that you are not making trouble behind your back? Long Yan replied with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Haha...... , don't dream, you are a small third-order warrior of the Basic Realm, you don't even have the qualifications to meet the Northern Hell Marquis, let alone the Dragon Emperor, even if you are lucky enough to meet the Dragon Emperor, do you guess whether the Dragon Emperor believes in you or the Northern Hades? What a joke!" Jiang Yi laughed and said to another purple-robed young man beside Jiang Yi.

"How can I make the Dragon Emperor believe, I won't worry about you Han Li, Young Master Han, you better go home and inform your Han family to wait, wash your neck and wait for the knife. Long Yan also laughed.

"Hehe, Long Yan, I know what you are planning, don't you want to wait for the end of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony to pass the exam of the Dragon Teng Academy, and take the top position of the Purple Thunder List, so as to get the opportunity to be summoned by the Dragon Emperor? The third green-robed young man said gloomily.

"Shi Hao, I have to say, you still haven't changed your clever problem, did you hit the south wall stupidly before? Long Yanhao shot back mercilessly.

"Brother Yi, don't talk nonsense with him, let's just do him here. The last black-robed young man suggested to Jiang Yi fiercely.

"Wang Lin, have your Wang family lived enough, you dare to touch me, don't talk about the national law of the Dragon Pavilion, believe it or not, my grandfather can destroy your Wang family?"

Jiang Yi waved his hand to stop Si Shao from speaking again, and said in a low voice: "You can't do it, the law of my Dragon Pavilion Country stipulates that any force or individual who is a candidate for the preparation of the Dragon Teng Academy shall not be disabled or killed before the exam, otherwise there will be no mercy." Moreover, the whereabouts of this kid's grandfather are currently unknown, and he has not yet been confirmed to be killed, and the strength of the old immortal is very jealous even of his father, not to mention that there is the King of Northern Spirit behind him, and this matter will be discussed in the long run when we go back. ”

After that, he turned to Long Yan and said with a cruel smile: "Long Yan, it seems that you are making up the exam fee of one hundred yuan crystals, but with these rotten statues of you, it is really a dream to make up the fees, do you want the master to take care of your business, I will accept all these statues one yuan crystal master, how about it......?"

Long Yan was furious when he heard this, stood up suddenly, a cold aura spread, pointed to the statue and said: "Jiang Yi, you can insult me, but please respect them, they are the heroic souls of the Terran who died in battle, in front of them, don't say it's you, even your father who is a marquis, and you are not qualified to despise it." How do I make up the bill, I don't bother you, now, you can get out!" he lowered his head and began to pack his things and prepare to leave.

"You...... , you wait for me, when the time comes, you will look good, wait and see. Jiang Yi was so angry that he trembled, turned the horse's head and left.

"Wait!" At this moment, the plain-clothed girl who had not spoken all this time spoke, and her voice was as beautiful as the voice of heaven. Long Yan and the Northern Five Tyrants were stunned.

Jiang Yi hurriedly returned to the horse and persuaded: "Princess Wan, I originally wanted to take you out for a walk and appreciate the customs of the Northern Underworld, but I didn't want to encounter such an accident, but I made you laugh." It's been a long time since this came out, let's go back, otherwise Aunt Feng will sue me in front of my father again. ”

Long Yan was also looking at this plain-clothed girl named Princess Wan, just now his attention had been on the five tyrants of the Northern Underworld, and at this time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly after a closer look, this girl's flower appearance, moon god, willow state, bird sound, jade bones, snow skin, autumn water posture, and poetic heart are actually rare in the world.

What shocked Long Yan even more was that as soon as he concentrated his attention, he actually sensed a familiar smell on this girl, obviously it was the first time they met, but they had the feeling of an old friend, and they were stunned for a while.

And Princess Wan's heart was also shaken at this time. Just now, when Long Yan was furious and her breath was released, she obviously felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, which made her feel close to the young man she met for the first time, so she couldn't help but stop it when Long Yan was about to leave.

"Little Hou Ye, if you are in a hurry, you can go back first, Aunt Feng has me to explain. I'm calling this Brother Long Yan and slow. Princess Wan turned over and dismounted, and said in a slow voice.

Immediately, ignoring the petrified expressions of Jiang Yi and the others, he walked to Long Yan's stall and asked gently, "This brother, I will give a hundred yuan crystals, can you make a statue for me?"

Long Yan raised his head, the shocked look on his face had quickly retracted, he regained his indifference, and replied flatly: "Of course, I don't know what kind of statue this fairy wants?"

Princess Wan was slightly stunned in her heart, and secretly said that this is a deep scheming. Hurriedly smiled and replied: "I don't dare to call the fairy, I am Feng Xiaowan of Fengling Country, look at these statues, Brother Tai should be a master, please imitate me to make it?"

Princess of Fengling Country! Long Yan was shocked again in his heart, he could think that this woman had an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect to have such a noble identity, and what was even more surprising was how a person with such an identity could come to such a remote place in the North Underworld City of the Dragon Pavilion, and mix with people like the Five Masters of the Northern Netherworld, which was very intriguing.

Despite the shock in his heart again, Long Yan remained calm on the surface, and said lightly: "Okay, just follow the words of the fairy." Then he took out the wood and knives, and sat down again. The carving knives began to fly, and the sawdust fell.

The Five Tyrants of the Northern Underworld seemed to be very afraid of this Feng Xiaowan Princess, and it was very rare to look at it from afar, and they did not make trouble. Half a quarter of an hour later, a statue identical to Feng Xiaowan appeared in Long Yan's hand. Looking at this perfect work, Long Yan took a deep breath, looked up at Feng Xiaowan, driven by the inexplicable fluctuation in his heart, the carving knife in his hand moved again, and several rows of strange patterns sat at the bottom of the statue with a wave.

Feng Xiaowan's beautiful eyes immediately emitted a strange light, because those patterns were not patterns at all, but a kind of ancient strange spirit armor. Could it be that he is also a man of origin?

"Wind fairy, your statue is ready, are you still satisfied?" Feng Xiaowan was pulled back from his thoughts by Long Yan's voice, smiled, and after taking the statue, he took out a hundred yuan crystal and handed it to Long Yan and said softly: "Thank you, brother, this is an honorarium, not a tribute." And then

Without waiting for Long Yan to react, he turned around and jumped on horseback and floated away, and the Five Tyrants of the Northern Underworld also left in a huff.

Long Yan stood stunned for a while, then also packed up his things and went down. He was originally the righteous grandson of Jiang Sheng, the former city lord of the Northern Underworld, because his identity is unknown, and because of Jiang Sheng's relationship, he automatically obtained the identity of the preparatory candidate of Longteng Academy, and encroached on the quota that should belong to the Hou Mansion's forces, and was bullied by the Hou Mansion and those gentlemen of the four major families since he was a child.

A year ago, he should have been sentenced to capital punishment for accidentally killing the youngest son of the Marquis of the Northern Underworld, but because he had the status of a preparatory candidate of the Longteng Academy, he had to wait until the end of the exam to decide how to punish according to the results.

In order to prevent the Northern Immortal Marquis from having another poisonous plan, Jiang Sheng also took Long Yan with him. I didn't want to be on the march, and I was suddenly attacked by the Shura tribe, and the whole army was annihilated under the front and back attacks. Jiang Sheng took him to desperately break out of the encirclement, but he was seriously injured and suffered a great loss in his cultivation.

Judging from the few clues obtained on the battlefield, whether it was the exposure of the extremely secret marching route, or the small mysterious force in the Shura army that was sneaking up behind them, they all faintly pointed to the Northern Hades Mansion, but there was no direct evidence.

Long Yan settled his grandfather, and after careful consideration, he resolutely returned to the North Underworld City, firstly, the exam of Longteng Academy was approaching, and he wanted to prepare for the exam, and secondly, he also wanted to see the reaction of the Northern Underworld Mansion, whether he could find flaws and evidence from it.

As for safety, he is not only concerned, as soon as he has the identity of a preparatory student of Longteng Academy, coupled with the potential deterrence of his grandfather, the Northern Underworld Mansion should not dare to do anything to him.

And once he gets the conclusive evidence, not to mention the Dragon Emperor, even under the wrath of the Northern Spirit King, the small Northern Hades Marquis Mansion will also disappear. If the evidence collection is not smooth, he still has the road of Longteng Courtyard to go.

Longteng Yuan is the highest god of the Dragon Inlay Country, and the ownership of the Dragon Inlay Country is from the Academy, and if you are admitted to the Longteng Academy, you can advance by leaps and bounds in the martial arts and immortal paths, so that you will have the opportunity to replace the Marquis of the North Underworld, and the Marquis of the North Immortal will lose her title, and it will be easy to take revenge.

Judging from the reaction of the Northern Hell Five Tyrants just now, his goal has been basically achieved, and then the Northern Hades Mansion may launch a series of actions against him to force his grandfather to appear, in this process, it should not be difficult to find the clues of the North Hades Mansion's traffic aliens, because, the North Hades Marquis Mansion can't do it openly at this time, if it is secret, nine times out of ten it will still borrow the power of the Shura clan.

It's just that there is an episode of Fengling Princess Feng Xiaowan, which makes him a little confused, but the inexplicable mood fluctuations in his heart make him faintly look forward to it. Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Long Yan's mouth, and he whispered in his mouth:

Providence is long, and it happens to meet in the North Underworld. The veins are like water, and the two hearts are quietly opposed.

Ying Ying smiled lightly, and both dreams flew away. Since then, I have been silently thinking for a long time, and I am always intoxicated.

It was the words he had engraved on the base of the statue with the ancient spirit armor, and judging from Feng Xiaowan's expression, she obviously knew the spirit armor as well.
