In the middle of Middle-earth, a huge city towers over. The surrounding area is resplendent with gold, and on the streets of the city, from time to time a group of black and heavy armor soldiers come beside them.

On those armor soldiers who were walking forward with neat steps, they could clearly feel that an extremely cold murderous aura burst out. This murderous aura is not the result of hunting too many demon beasts, but only those who have really experienced war and slaughter.

The existence of these armor soldiers constitutes the first guardian of the imperial city.

In fact, the existence of these armor soldiers is not more to defend the emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng of the current dynasty, but to deter many cult members who have plans for the younger generations of the imperial family, so that they have a strong sense of fear in their hearts.

"Wide, wide, wide!"

The heavy sound of landing echoed in Xiao Ling's ears, staring at the armor soldiers around him, even he who had broken through the realm could not help but have a sense of fear in his heart. He walked a few steps forward, quickly distanced himself from the black armor soldiers, and walked into the meeting room with a wrong shape.

"Lord Xiao Ling!"

The reception officials in the living room, after seeing Xiao Ling hurriedly come in, also got up one after another, with a flattering smile on their faces. These people have been in the reception room all the year round, and they have seen a lot of people from all walks of life in the court, and over time, they have developed a kind of temperament.

"Well, inform the emperor that I have an audience. ”

Xiao Ling nodded slightly at them, reached out and took out a bag of gold coins, and put them on the table and chair with a smile. For these people, he is also familiar with the way. Everybody is saying something important. But whether to report it or not, when to report it, how anxious the people are. Naturally, it can't escape the eyes of these people.

After accepting the bag of gold coins, their eyes looking at Xiao Ling became more and more flattering. One of them immediately brought a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Ling, please take a seat, and the little ones will go to report to the emperor." ”

"Yes. ”

Picking up the teacup in his hand, his spiritual power came out tentatively, and he gently swung it in the water, after making sure that there was no problem at all. Then I was completely relieved. With his right hand, he pinched the lid of the cup, gently reconciled it in the water, and then smashed it in his mouth. Tasted up.

This green tea is slightly bitter at the mouth, and when it flows into the throat, it reveals a sweet fragrance. Slightly closed eyes, it seems to be very enjoyable.

"Your Excellency. The emperor wants you to come to see you quickly. ”

At the moment when he heard the words outside the door. Xiao Ling quickly put down the teacup in his hand. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he took a step forward, displayed his body martial arts, and went straight to the agreed place, flying away.

When he came to the room, Xuanyuan Lingfeng was already sitting on top of him. The current emperor is a middle-aged man in his forties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole body may be because of his cultivation of martial arts. Perhaps it is because of the long-term residence of imperial power, which gives people a natural oppressive force.

Even Xiao Ling stood in front of him. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and tremble.

This oppressive force is not the level of spiritual power, nor is it the pressure of the realm, but a kind of coercion transmitted through the soul.

Under this coercion, it will make people fearful.

Xiao Ling also knew in his heart that this coercion was mostly related to the exercises practiced by the royal family.

"Oh, Xiao Ling, you came to me, but what happened?"

Xuanyuan Lingfeng was standing next to the windowsill at this time, holding an ancient book in his hand, looking at it with interest. After Xiao Ling came in, he didn't knock on the door, but just lightened his steps slightly and tiptoed into the house.

"No, Your Majesty, it's the Demon Suppression Tower......"

When Xiao Ling talked about the Demon Suppression Tower, his face was obviously a little embarrassed, and he thought that he had failed the emperor's grace. While feeling guilty in his heart, his voice also lowered unconsciously.

"I see, the power of the Demon Suppression Tower's seal has been reduced a lot recently. If it weren't for my recent busy schedule, I would have gone to see it. ”

Putting down the book in his hand, a smile appeared on Xuanyuan Lingfeng's face. The smiling eyes made Xiao Ling's face tingle for a while. Now he has a feeling that he is being targeted by hunters.

After thinking about it, how could a strong person with the strength of Xuanyuan Lingfeng not be aware of the problem in the Demon Refining Tower. Thinking of this, the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help but pop up.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, fortunately I came to him in advance, otherwise the old fox in front of me might suddenly run to his academy one day and make a big fuss.

It's just that he didn't dare to say these words in front of Xuanyuan Lingfeng again.

His face trembled slightly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in his eyes. What I thought in my heart changed completely when I said it. Slightly apologetic, he said: "The emperor is worried about the world, the matter of this town demon tower, the minister can't share the worries for His Majesty, it is the dereliction of duty of the courtier."

These polite words sounded in his ears, Xuanyuan Lingfeng's face suddenly sank, and his right hand slammed into the table, and he scolded angrily: "I hear the flattering words of those civil and military ministers every day, when did you, Xiao Ling, Lord Xiao, also start to flatter?"

Xuanyuan Lingfeng's words made Xiao Ling's face a little pale. It was not that he was frightened by that tone, but by the momentum that burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

Seeing Xiao Ling's appearance, Xuanyuan Lingfeng's words gradually softened. He snorted coldly and patted his sleeve gently. He said in a deep voice: "Say whatever you want to say, just say it as soon as possible." I know you, and if it weren't for something big that couldn't be done, you wouldn't have come to me. ”

Xuanyuan Lingfeng's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, making Xiao Ling's head lower.

After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he sat down on a wooden chair not far away. He took a deep breath and said, "The demon beasts in the Demon Suppression Tower, we won't be able to suppress them for long. The power of that formation is constantly weakening now, and even if we hold it hard, it will only take about half a month at most. ”

"Half a month later, once that demon beast comes out, it will plunge this world into a sea of misery. You must know that we have sealed it for so long, and the anger in its heart is naturally self-evident. ”

Xiao Ling's words made Xuanyuan Lingfeng fall into silence and was silent for a long time. Looking at the way he looked, he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a pause, he continued: "There is only one way to solve this problem now, and that is to find a vessel with dark attributes and let that demon beast possess it. As long as it succeeds, then the strength of the monster beast will be greatly reduced. When the time comes, as long as a few powerhouses who break through the realm are dispatched, they can definitely suppress the other party. ”

Xiao Ling's words, one ring after another, made Xuanyuan Lingfeng frown slightly.

"You want him to go ......?"

After thinking for a while, Xuanyuan Lingfeng showed a look of sudden realization. opened his mouth to say what Xiao Ling wanted to say, but never dared to say.

Seeing that the emperor understood what he meant, Xiao Ling was also relieved. It's convenient to talk to smart people, and you don't have to say anything more yourself, you can understand it directly. It's good that you don't have to worry about it.

While secretly rejoicing in his heart, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes revealed a bit of urgent anticipation.

"I don't have any opinions. ”

After Xuanyuan Lingfeng raised his head and finished saying this, although his tone was flat, Xiao Ling could still hear a little sadness. As for this sadness, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask the other party. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he slowly withdrew from the room.

After closing the door of the house, I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Leaving the range of Xuanyuan Lingfeng, Xiao Ling suddenly felt indescribably comfortable on Zhou's body. The breathtaking coercion did not exist at all, and he tidied up his clothes wet with cold sweat a little, and flew towards the prison.

On the southwest corner of the imperial city, no one would have thought that there was such a place with extremely heavy yin qi here. The pitch-black prison door, and the gloomy guards around it. makes people's mood can't help but be depressed a little.

This prison was built to suppress some prisoners who were extremely powerful. These people committed crimes, and the officials below were powerless to arrest them at all, so they were only pressed into the imperial city by the Black Armor Army and locked up at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

In the face of Xuanyuan Lingfeng's powerful strength, these criminals would stay here honestly and honestly, and they would not dare to cause any incidents.

Just standing at the door, the cold aura that came to his face made Xiao Ling couldn't help but shiver. The martial energy in the whole body worked, naturally separating that yin qi. After taking a few deep breaths, he walked towards the prison and walked in.

Seeing someone coming, the prisoners inside immediately stretched out their heads and looked at Xiao Ling. These people are carrying dozens of pounds of iron ropes. Now it's hard to see a free person, and their eyes are all exuding a color of hope.

The free people who come here often have to take people out. This is also why, when those prisoners look at Xiao Ling, they will be full of hope.

Without squinting, he walked straight towards the innermost cell. Because he knew that in this, the one who was imprisoned was the prince who failed to compete for the throne of the prince back then.

Looking at Xiao Ling's steady steps, the surrounding prisoners cast their gazes into the depths. When they swept through the most gloomy cell, their hearts couldn't help but tremble violently, as if they had seen a ghost, and they shrank their necks in fright.

Thinking of the strength of the person inside, the prisoners around him were all frightened. Since Xiao Ling didn't come to find him, they were still well-behaved, so they sighed one after another, and sat down towards their positions.

The pace was not fast, and when he came to the cell, Xiao Ling took a deep breath again and gently turned the doorknob. (To be continued......)
