Chapter 20: The Dark Chamber

It's been a few days since the terrifying Yuan Infant War.

It was another morning, and the villagers near Nancheng carried flat burdens and pushed carts, bypassing the buildings that had not been completely restored, and walking past the houses where there were still faint cries, and walked towards the market.

No way, no matter what, life still has to pass.

"Sell vegetables! Fresh greens! ”

"Hey, let's take a look at my fish, it's big and fresh, just two pennies a piece!"

In the market, the sound of merchants selling is endless, and a burst of vegetable fragrance has just wafted by, and after a few steps, the smell of fish comes again.

The crowd was bustling, turning what should have been a cool morning into a sweltering one.

In the midst of this bustling market, there was a small hut with a large rotten door, a clattering sound, and a wall barely supported by a few thin wooden strips, so crumbling that it would be easy to ignore if you walked through the street.

I don't know how such a structure survived from that mighty battle.

Not far from the crowd, an old man in a white robe appeared, although he had a childish face, his face was not very good-looking.

As he approached, he pushed the door of the hut gently.

Squeak.

The door slowly opened, and a cloud of dust rose in the air.

The old man didn't realize it, and Shi Shiran walked into the hut.

Creak.

When no one touched the door, it closed automatically, and there was no sign of anyone entering from the outside.

The person who entered was none other than Elder Bai.

Elder Bai pressed a piece of jade order against the wall, only to hear a roar, and the walls retreated one after another, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

It was a huge room, at least dozens of zhang long and wide, with long tables standing horizontally in the center.

Countless people in black walked around, hurrying; Or two by two and talk in detail.

The room was surrounded by doors, and people came in and out from time to time.

Each of these gates leads to a different location in the southern city, including suburbs, markets, houses, river banks, and even the governor's mansion......

Directly above the room, a huge plaque hangs in the air, with two words on it: Dark Hall!

Slowly walking past the long tables, he came to the room of the hall master of the dark hall.

Jiang Xiye was facing away from Elder Bai.

"Two days later, the selection of the outer door will be held, are all my arrangements in place? There is also a big feast next month, and many foreigners have already come, so you should keep an eye on it! ”

Jiang Xiye explained affairs to his subordinates.

Elder Bai said in a long voice, "Jiang Xiye, how is the matter I explained to you?" ”

Jiang Xiye turned around and hurriedly saluted: "Elder Bai! ”

Branching out his subordinates, Jiang Xiye respectfully served the tea and asked Elder Bai to sit down.

"We have enough evidence to prove that the incident of Tiger Hill was committed by the people of Ninglan Country."

Jiang Xiye took out the repaired Eight Desolation Wind Thunder Talisman.

The old man looked at it carefully and nodded slowly.

"In recent years, this group of foreigners has become more and more arrogant! If this is the case, I will apply to the sect, and the five-year banquet will not be held in the future, and it will be cancelled! Elder Bai snorted coldly.

Jiang Xiye didn't dare to answer.

"And then?"

"In the past few days, we have arrested more than 100 Ninglan people who may be related to them, and screened them one by one."

"Did you find it?" The old man said.

Jiang Xiye's face darkened: "After investigation, these people are not." ”

"Then what are you still stunned for? Let's catch it again! Elder Bai glared.

"A few nights ago, we found out that a target was a young man in the realm of a person, and we didn't think there was anything at the time, but in retrospect, we felt more and more suspicious."

"Suspicious? What is the dubious law? ”

"Originally, I was just doing routine business, and I didn't pay much attention to this person,"

"But this person is dressed in makeup, but he travels alone at night, I really haven't seen a gentleman like this."

"Well, that makes sense." Elder Bai took a sip of tea, thinking deeply.

"If all of this can be barely explained, then the seven-star sword on this person's waist, as alert as a rabbit, doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"Makes sense, people? Take me to see it! Elder Bai got up and wanted to leave.

"A moment of negligence, to, want him to escape." Jiang Xi stammered at night and looked flustered.

"What? You let him run away? ”

Elder Bai slapped his big hand on the table.

Bang!

The sandalwood table shattered.

"You are a dignified Open Yang Realm, and you have lost a kid in a realm, I don't think you want to be the hall master!"

Listening to Elder Bai's angry scolding, Jiang Xiye bowed his head in shame.

Jiang Xiye knew that this was the bitter fruit of his own underestimation of the enemy. At that time, if he had directly erupted and was arrested with a thunderous force, there would not have been so many things, no matter how slippery he was, he would not have been able to escape from his palm.

After all, I still didn't pay too much attention to him, and if I was caught easily, I might be thrown into prison, and I might not care about anything else.

And he couldn't get rid of his worries, thinking that he should not startle the snake and not attract the attention of other Ninglan people, so he restrained his hands and feet, fearing that others would find out.

Looking back on it now, it's stupid.

"Elder Anger!" Jiang Xiye lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out, "At that time, time was pressing, and in a hurry, I only caught a glimpse of his matching sword, maybe ......"

"Maybe, whatever, maybe! Maybe my son's life can accommodate you?! Elder Bai's face turned red.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Xiye hurriedly said: "Elder is angry, about this person, there are spies who have gotten the news, that person should be a disciple of Ning Lan Kingdom, I watched the crickets in Luohualou a few days ago, and I have sent someone to keep an eye on it." ”

Elder Bai's expression softened slightly: "This is about the same. ”

Jiang Xiye nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Still."

Elder Bai's words changed, causing Jiang Xiye's heart to rise again.

"No matter why, the fact that this person can escape from your hands has proved that you cannot arrest this person foolishly, and tomorrow, I will send Zhu Wenle to arrest this person with you."

"Elder Bai!" Jiang Xi was frightened at night.

Who is Zhu Wenle? He is the deputy hall master of the Hundred Refining Hall, don't look at him five big and three coarse, he is happy all day long, but he is actually very deep in the city and has coveted his position for many years.

Because his parents have been in the dark hall, he is also very good at tracking and arresting, and it took him a lot of effort to kick this person out of the dark hall, for which he holds a grudge, and the contradiction between himself and him is an open secret in the entire Tianlan Sect.

At this moment, Elder Bai was going to send him to assist him?

This is to send someone to assist, it is clear that it is almost the same as sending someone to grab a seat!

Jiang Xiye gritted his teeth.

"What? Do you have an opinion? Elder Bai turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiye's eyes full of coldness.

Jiang Xi was frightened at night.

He stood in place, flakes of hoarfrost condensed on the ground, and crawled along his heels towards Jiang Xiye.

I have long heard that Elder Bai is unfathomable, with frost in June and scorching sun in winter, all of which move at will.

When I saw it now, I only felt that the person who said this must not have personally experienced the power of Elder Bai.

Jiang Xiye only felt that a cold bone marrow force slowly but resolutely invaded his body, and the word "no" in his mouth could not be said after all.

"Humph! That's pretty much it! ”

Elder Bai smiled coldly and turned away.
