Standing outside the Nine Shadows City for a long time, Chu Yan stepped in.

There has been no change here, and although the Nine Shadows Ice Coffin has been taken away, the temperature inside the city is still very low, and it is two completely different worlds from the outside.

Rows of neat houses, no matter the size and appearance, are exactly the same, I don't know what the purpose was in the first place, so I have such an idea.

And there is not a single shop in the entire Nine Shadows City, which is also a very puzzling place, even if they maintain absolute isolation from the outside world, but the people in the city should also have this, or that demand, but this is just a private house......

Walking slowly, Lonely One has been observing this Nine Hidden City buried deep under the mountain, and it seems that he has also noticed that this place is unusual.

Walking like this, the two came to the huge temple in the center of the city. The periphery is already in ruins, and the ground is full of messes, all of which have been done by male and female.

And the inside of the temple is not much better, the originally flat and smooth ground is now a mess, a wide crack is across the eyes of the two of them, and the corpses are gone.

This is not surprising, although the temperature here is very low, it is not enough to keep those corpses from rotting, so the last time Chu Yan left, he had already pushed all the corpses into that crack, and it was also counted as being in the ground.

It's just that now that he is back here, Chu Yan seems to be able to see the corpses all over the ground, and he will also think of the tragedy of the Chu family, because the two are too similar......

With the help of Yue Wuji, Chu Yan finally knew that the one hundred and thirty-nine members of the Chu family were all killed by a spirit beast called the Death King Ant, but this kind of small thing had been extinct on the Fighting Spirit Continent for many years, but why did it suddenly appear and kill the people of the Chu family, this is something Chu Yan has never been able to understand.

"Boy, what is this place?"

Just when Chu Yan was thinking nonsense, he opened his mouth.

I saw that the old man was attracted by the lifelike huge unicorn relief, and came to the front in a few steps. Keep looking back and forth.

Seeing this, Chu Yan smiled and walked over as well, "It seems that Lonely Old is very interested in this unicorn relief?"

"This is the mount of the Founding Emperor of the Blood Jade Empire. Of course the old man knows. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and began to caress the relief, his eyes filled with a little fanaticism.

"You kid probably don't know yet, the founding emperor of the Blood Jade Empire is superb in cultivation. With his own magical means, he laid down a piece of the Blood Jade Empire, and according to legend, his mount was the spirit beast Qilin in ancient times. ”

"Can you believe it...... Do you believe these legends are true?"

Chu Yan already knew these things, but to be honest, he didn't believe what Di Tianming said to him at that time.

Regarding legends, Chu Yan's attitude is the same as that of many people, believing it, but he can't believe it all. It is really exaggerated, and there are too many elements of false rumors, and the truth no longer exists.

It's like the Nine Ghost Cities in the Extremely Cold Land. The legends of the outside world are completely different from what Chu Yan saw with his own eyes. There are also people who boast that they have seen people here come out for activities, and their tribe's lair, etc......

This is nonsense at all, the people here have been dead for nearly 10,000 years, and the Nine Shadows City is buried deep under the mountain, and there is no exit around it, if it weren't for the fact that the male Jiaojiao collapsed the cave at that time, if it weren't for the underground river that washed Chu Yan here, it would not have been possible to find that there was a cave here.

I really don't know what those guys outside think, and how they see the people and the city here. It is estimated that even if someone really came here, I am afraid that they would have been scared to death, or they would have become the food in the mouths of male and female Jiaojiao.

Chu Yan's words made Shi Yi suddenly fall silent. The old man was just stroking the unicorn relief, and his eyes changed from the original fanaticism to a little dazed......

............

Early the next morning, the three of them left the Nine Shadows City and went straight to the ancestral country.

It was cold outside, and the raging cold wind wrapped in tiny particles of ice. Cut on the face like a small knife. The three of them had to resist while being vigilant about every move around them.

However, the luck of the three of them was not bad, they didn't meet any spirit beasts along the way, and after two days, they finally walked out of the extremely cold place, and the temperature began to rise.

Gradually, Twilight's words increased, and she kept talking, and finally she even hit the idea of Lonely One, and kept asking him about his identity, and almost slapped the old man to death with one palm.

"Brother, stay overnight and then leave?" At ten o'clock in dusk, there was a town not far in front of him, and Dusk Chen licked his lips, "I haven't had a serious meal for a few days, I can't sleep, fat man, I really can't stand it." ”

After thinking about it, Chu Yan nodded, anyway, there is a lot of time, and he is not in a hurry for this time.

Facing the desolate and extremely cold land all the year round, the soldiers guarding the city here were very lax, and only symbolically interrogated a few words, and the three of them entered the city, and then found an inn to settle down.

Seeing that Chu Yan and the three of them were extraordinary, well-dressed, especially Du Chen, they were simply full of style, and they regarded themselves as Ling Jue's brother-in-law at every turn, but they frightened the guys here, and they were busy before and after, and they prepared a table of good wine and good food in a short time.

Twilight was really hungry, and no matter what it was, he just stuffed it into his mouth, and from time to time he would comment a few words, this dish was good, and the soup was also very good.

At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the shopkeeper rushed in like a thief, and then hurriedly closed the door.

"You...... What do you want to do?" Twilight puffed out her cheeks, visibly startled by the shopkeeper's actions.

"A few guest officers, I'm really embarrassed, our store is small, I really can't accommodate a few distinguished guests, and I invite you to leave after eating. ”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, thinking whether this old man was sick, he didn't do any business, plus this guy was nervous, and he had been sweating profusely since he came in, which made the three of them feel that there must be something here.

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean, are you afraid that we won't have the money to settle the bill......?"

"Please, this guest officer, don't say it, it would be bad if the people outside heard it. Before Dusk Chen finished speaking, the old man was repeated.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, let's talk slowly if you have something to say. Chu Yan motioned for the old man to sit down and said, "We can go, but before we go, we must let us understand what the reason is." ”

"The three of them just came to the ancestral country from other places, right?"

"yes, what's wrong? Are you still bullying the living?" said Twilight, obviously very angry.

"I guess that's ......"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Do you know that something big happened in the first country, and Ling Jue has already been imprisoned, and he will be beheaded in a few days." ”

"What...... Ling Jue is about to be beheaded?" Du Chen's heart froze, and he said in surprise: "This ...... How is this possible, he is the current prince, the heir of the future monarch, how could he end up in such a step?"

"yes...... We, the common people, also wondered. ”

Saying that, the shopkeeper sighed, "The little prince has always been conscientious, for the country and the people, if it weren't for him, how could our people live so well, but...... But how did it suddenly become a traitor who colluded with the Demon Domain, it's really unacceptable. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help frowning. The heart said that what the hell is going on, Ling Jueshu colluded with the Demon Domain, this is simply nonsense.

"Shopkeeper, we are new here, can you tell me more about what is going on?"

As he spoke, Chu Yan also took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table, "Please rest assured, we will definitely not implicate you, and we will leave as soon as we figure it out." ”

"Alas...... Actually, I don't know much about this matter, and I only found out about it after reading the notice of the imperial court. ”

After a pause, the old man thought for a while, as if he was reminiscing, and after a long while, he continued: "It seems that Lord Ling secretly colluded with the Demon Domain and plotted against him, and was found out by His Majesty before he was imprisoned, and he will be beheaded on the eighth day of the first month of this month." ”

"What about Ling Feiwu, how is she now?"

Hearing Du Chen's question, the old man shook his head slightly, "We are located in the middle of nowhere, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, how can we know the current situation of the princess." However, the princess has always had a deep relationship with Prince Ling's brother and sister, and the relationship is very good, which everyone knows in the first country, and it is estimated that this will be heartbreaking. ”

"Brother, aren't we ......?"

Dusk Chen was only halfway through speaking, and saw Chu Yan waving his hand, so he hurriedly closed his mouth.

"Three guest officers, I advise you, don't go out and shout to people everywhere about your relationship with Ling Jue, if you let the officers and soldiers know, I'm afraid you will put your life into it. ”

"Thanks to the shopkeeper for the reminder, we remembered. ”

Chu Yan stood up, arched his hand, and then got up to leave. But as soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, a group of soldiers rushed in in a hurry.

I saw that the guy just now, when he saw Chu Yan and the three of them, he immediately shouted loudly: "Sir, they said that they were Ling Jue's good friend, and that fat man also said that he was a colt, hurry up and arrest them all." ”

You don't have to think much to know that this guy must have just heard Dusk Chen's words, which will attract the officers and soldiers to mix up some gold coins.

The guests in the hall were afraid to avoid it, as if they were afraid that they would be implicated, so they gathered in the corner of the wall, and at the same time stared at the door with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and saw the leader of this group of soldiers take a step forward, looked at them incessantly, and asked, "Who are you...... What does it have to do with Ling Jue's injury?"

"The fat master is from the Yan Huang Ancient Kingdom...... "Without waiting for Chu Yan to take a stubble, Du Chen had already stepped forward angrily, "Your princess is the fat man's fiancée, you do the math yourself, what is the relationship between the fat man and Ling Juejue?"
