Lu Xiong recalled that when he first got the ability, a deacon of the Assassin League once commented, which roughly meant that the fire ability was very powerful, and there were two other people in the Assassin League who had this ability, one of them was a deacon, and the other must be Hong Rong.

It is clear that Hong Rong participated in the original rebellion and then joined the Xia Empire. The Eight Divisions of Mingtang were also established after the collapse of the Assassin Alliance, and most of the people in it were traitors to the Assassin Alliance.

The eight departments of Mingtang perform their own duties, and each department has a small number of people, but they are all elites. Let's talk about the Vulcan Department, they are full-time combatants, and the six people who support Dark Cloud City are all personnel.

"Sect Master, there is one thing I have never understood, why didn't you take action to destroy Dark Cloud City earlier, so that you don't have to sacrifice so many brothers. Someone boldly asked.

Guan Wen smiled: "I did this just to wait for the people from the Vulcan Department to come." Destroying a city-state is nothing, and it is a tie with the eight divisions of Mingtang, so that it can become famous all over the world. In the battle of Dark Cloud City, our Hercules Sect is bound to let everyone know. The Xia Empire and the Yi League are inextricably fought, and they don't have the strength to control us, so it is the time for us Assassins to rise! A few dead people are nothing, just recruit more people when the time comes. In this way, we will get closer and closer to the temple of the Templar......"

"The Templar will be opened for the strong man who revives the Assassin Alliance, and that person will also become the master of the Templar and the Assassin Alliance!" everyone remembered this sentence, but no one knew what to do to revive the Assassin Alliance.

At the end of the day, most people just want to get the fountain of life in the temple hall. In Guan Wen's opinion, let his Hercules Sect grow and spread its reputation throughout the continent, even if it is a bad reputation, it is fine, as long as it is famous, it will definitely be recognized by the Holy Temple.

Different understandings lead to different things to do. Guan Wen likes to destroy, and his personality is like this, so in the future, the Hercules Sect will still do things that hurt the heavens and reason. As for the outcome, no one can guess.

The Hercules Sect was a start, and not long after, the destruction of Dark Cloud City and the loss of face of the Fire God Department spread throughout the entire Xia Empire, and even spread to the Yi League. Some hidden assassins were born one after another, and the sect was established to collect its subordinates. But they are not a formal organization after all, so there are not many people who are willing to join, and they are basically members of the former Assassin League.

In order to increase the number of people, some sects make an exception to recruit fighting masters. Many of the fighters are outlaws, and they also have ambitions, and the base of fighters is extraordinarily large, so the strength of those sects that recruit fighters has increased rapidly, which makes other sects follow suit.

And some powerful fighters also want to compete for the spring of life, in order to get a piece of the pie, they also attached to the powerful assassin sect, so far, the Shadow Continent sect is full of sects, and the Xia Empire and the Yimeng keep issuing wanted notices, but they can't suppress the rise of assassins......

Chen Ran was healed by Guan Wen, and the blood hole in his arm healed quickly, but he remained unconscious, and Guan Wen threw him directly into a village.

The simple villagers rescued him, and when Chen Ran woke up and found that he was fine, he hurriedly inquired about the affairs of Dark Cloud City. At this time, the matter of Wuyun City had not yet been reported, and the people in the village showed him the way, so he quickly rushed back.

The road was not too far, and it took Chen Ran two days to arrive.

There were many tents outside the city, and the Empire's rescue team had arrived, but there were few survivors among the ruins.

Wuyun City had a population of 800,000, but 300,000 were slaughtered, and 200,000 people died in the earthquake and collapsed. Those who survived were 200,000 people who fled outside the city.

Hyun Snake should have already left, because the sun has been shining in Dark Cloud City for the past few days, and if it was before, there would definitely not be so many sunny days.

But no matter how good the weather is, the mood of the city's citizens is still sad. Many wives have been separated, and some have only been left alone, and they don't know whether to grieve or rejoice, because so many people have perished their entire families.

The people of the Dark Cloud Academy were fine, and they finally escaped under the leadership of Lin Zhen. It's just that Lin Zhen's family has perished, which makes him grief.

The city is gone, and the people of the city lord's mansion are dead. An emergency meeting has been held in Shenlong City, and everyone has unanimously agreed to move the 200,000 surviving people in Dark Cloud City into the neighboring city-states.

The townspeople disagreed, but there was nothing anyone could do. Dark Cloud City is completely in ruins, if you want to rebuild, it will be a big project, no matter how you calculate it, relocation is the most cost-effective.

At this time, Xu Changshun stood up, and he planned to use the funds of the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce to rebuild Dark Cloud City. Don't look at the destruction of Dark Cloud City, but the trade of the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce is spread over the small half of the empire, so the loss of the Xu family is not large. The reconstruction of Dark Cloud City may make his capital turnover unclear, but as long as the business of the Chamber of Commerce is developed steadily, he will still be able to get through this difficulty.

When Chen Ran returned to Dark Cloud City, Xu Changshun happened to submit his suggestion, but he hadn't received a reply yet. Chen Ran's return did not attract too many people's attention.

Xu Lai was the first to discover him, and for the past few days, Xu Lai has been using his Eagle Eye ability to probe around. Everyone thought that Chen Ran was dead, but Xu Lai didn't believe it, and Mi Cai didn't believe it either.

When he found Chen, he quickly ran over to meet him. Xu Lai brought Chen Ran back, Xu Changshun and Mi Cai were all excited.

Mi Cai and Chen Ran hugged each other tightly: "I knew you were fine! Even the Abyss Prison broke out, so I believe that no matter what happens, you will be able to turn evil into good fortune...... Hey, what's the two hard things on your chest?"

Mi Cai blushed and quickly broke free from Chen Ran's arms.

Chen Ran dug into his chest, almost forgetting the two life crystal nuclei he had harvested. He has always been hiding close to his body, and it is impossible for a big person like Guan Wen to search his body, so these two crystal nuclei are kept.

A blood-red round Tianyan crystal nucleus, and an earthy yellow prismatic rock crystal nucleus, it was surprising to see Mi Cai and the Xu family's father and son.

"Xiao Ran, this ...... This is the life crystal nucleus, right?" Mi Cai had studied at the scientific research institute, so she was well-informed.

In fact, when many people see the life crystal nucleus for the first time, they will mistake it for an ordinary gem, unless they are people who have special abilities, they can sense the abnormal power in the life crystal nucleus.

Chen Ran introduced the two crystal nuclei, and Xu Chang reminded by the way: "Put it away, although I don't understand, but listen to what you just said, this Tianyan ability is very powerful, although it is useless now, but maybe it can be used in the future." ”

"Hmm. Chen Ran put the two life crystal nuclei back away. He was going to go to Qiuyun Mountain, and after briefly talking to everyone, he went immediately.

"I don't know if Mr. Yu is gone. Chen Ran hurried to Qiuyun Mountain.

Yu Wei, Yin Po and Meng Ran are all there, Meng Ran's injuries have healed, and they are specially waiting for Chen Ran.

As soon as the four of them met, they all greeted each other.

"I really didn't expect Dark Cloud City to be destroyed overnight, alas, ......" Yu Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Meng Ran suddenly knelt down and bowed solemnly to Chen Ran: "Thank you so much." ”

Chen Ran hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle Meng, what are you doing here?"

Meng Ran said sincerely: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how long we would be trapped in the Abyss Prison." And we went to Dark Cloud City to investigate, and I heard from the people of the academy that it was thanks to you that their lives were saved, so I thank them and thank you for Dark Cloud City!"

He used to be a member of the City Lord's Mansion, and he loved this city-state very much in his heart. Because he couldn't get used to seeing what the city lord did, he deliberately did not carry out the orders that oppressed the city people, so he was imprisoned in the abyss prison by Fu Ye.

"I just did what I had to do. Chen Ran said calmly.

"Okay, since we have waited for you, we should also go, and we will see you again in the future!" Yu Wei said, he waved goodbye to Yin Po, and traveled to the mainland from then on.

Meng Ran stayed, he planned to contribute to Dark Cloud City, so Chen Ran took him to Xu Changshun. Meng Ran had long heard of the Xu family's benevolence and righteousness, and knew what Xu Changshun had done for Wuyun City, so he immediately admired it and was willing to help him do things. With Meng Ran and Xu Mang, two seven-vein fighters, to protect the Xu family, Chen Ran was also more relieved.

It's rare for everyone to live together these days, and it's also a lot of fun. During this period, the teachers and students of Wuyun City also came to thank him, which made Chen Ran feel a little warm.

A few days later, the edict of the Xia Empire came down, and Xu Changshun was appointed as the new lord of Wuyun City, fully responsible for the reconstruction of Wuyun City, and five hundred emperor ** guards were also dispatched to act as the guards of Wuyun City. Among these five hundred people, there are many fighters, so their strength should not be underestimated.

Xu Changshun became the city lord of Wuyun City, which was also expected by everyone, after all, the money to rebuild the city-state was all out of him, and it was really unreasonable not to let him be the city lord.

Under Xu Changshun's governance, Wuyun City will definitely be more prosperous and politically clearer.

But there is also bad news, along with the edict of the city chief, a new imperial wanted warrant. The Imperial Wanted Warrant is more authoritative than that issued by individuals or city-states, and all those who are wanted by the Empire must be arrested with all their might, not only with a large amount of bounty, but also with Imperial Commendation, and from then on become a citizen of Shenlong City, and maybe be knighted, which is almost everyone's dream.

On the Imperial Wanted List, the people of the Hercules Sect are all on the list, and the bounty has also been increased. The main ones are: Sect Master Guan Wen, nicknamed Hercules, with a bounty of 800 million dragon coins, Deputy Sect Master Yan Quan, nicknamed Firebird, with a bounty of 70 million Dragon Coins, and Deputy Sect Master Wu Cang, nicknamed Tyranny, with a bounty of 70 million Dragon Coins.

Lu Xiong's bounty was also raised, it was originally five million dragon coins, but because he escaped from the abyss prison, it was suddenly raised to nine million dragon coins, and he was almost at the level of the Night Moon Assassin.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Ran's name was also prominently listed, and the portrait on the wanted warrant was his scarred and unconscious appearance, which was what Hong Rong looked like when he saw him, so he drew it accordingly.

The wanted warrant does not say that he is from the Hercules Sect, but only mentions that he escaped from the Abyss Prison and has strange abilities, with a bounty of 20 million dragon coins, which is the bounty of ordinary Night Moon assassins. If they knew that Chen Ran had defeated Yan Que and the others, they would definitely not have set such a bounty......
