There was no one in the silent night, and a few dogs barked from time to time in the deep alleys in the distance. Although there is still a lot of traffic in Chaotic City during the day, at night, almost every house is closed, and the huge city street is extremely deserted.

The reason for this situation is all due to the Incident of the City Lord's Mansion more than 20 years ago, and the City Lord Zheshu and his beautiful wife, who are deeply loved by the residents of the city, are envied by countless people. Perhaps because of the jealousy of God, one night, Zheshu suddenly went crazy without warning, killed hundreds of people up and down the house, and finally committed suicide in fear of sin.

His wife of the seventh-order Lyre Master is also missing, some say she died with Tetsushu, others say she left this sad place. After years of baptism, no one can tell the prototype of this story from right and wrong, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. However, the Castle Lord's Mansion does exist.

And as outsiders have recited, the City Lord's Mansion has long been deserted and empty, and every night, all kinds of strange cries can even be heard. It is rumored that those cries are the souls killed by Zheshu back then.

At this time, Xia and Yao'er were rushing to the City Lord's Mansion non-stop, and after learning the information from the innkeeper, Xia became more and more confused in his heart, and he really couldn't think about what friends he would have in Xizhou.

Jin Kun was the first person who thought of it, but just guessed, it was denied. Not to mention that Jin Kun didn't know that he was coming to Xizhou, even if he knew, he would not be able to take Xia Xiaonan and the others away, and then make such a joke on himself.

"Who is it?" Xia frowned, he was very afraid, what if it was someone from the Beast Taming Sect? Then Xia Xiaonan and they would be more auspicious.

Looking at Jiang Xia with a heavy face, Yao'er, who knew his surname very well, did not say a word from beginning to end, because at this time, no matter what he said, it would only make Jiang Xia even more anxious.

About two hours later, following the innkeeper's instructions, the two arrived at the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Presented in front of Jiang Xia and Yao'er are two vermilion bronze gates, although they are cast in copper, under the washing of the years, the copper doors are covered with patina.

The three big characters "City Lord's Mansion" on the plaque directly above the door have long been corroded and difficult to read. There is an eerie and barren atmosphere, and you can vaguely feel a trace of the former fierce style.

Jiang Xia exhaled deeply, facing the depression all around, and his heart couldn't help but be extremely depressed. Who exactly asked him to come here will soon be revealed.

"Woo," the cold night breeze blew, followed by a long "crunch," sound. The two bronze doors directly opposite were slowly opened. Like a floodgate that has been sealed for a long time, the aura of ancient desolation rushes towards it, and the endless darkness is like a giant beast about to jump out.

Xia held Yao'er's little hand tightly, soft and boneless, delicate and smooth. Yao'er was stunned, did the other party think that she was scared, so she pursed her lips lightly, feeling a little sweet.

The bronze door was completely opened, and through the dim moonlight, the gloomy buildings in the courtyard could be seen. Jiang Xia's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "I'm already here, show up!"

"Hahahaha, it's really a hero out of a teenager, and Brother Jiang Xia is really courageous. With a burst of wild laughter, seven or eight figures emerged from the darkness in the mansion. The leader was a middle-aged man in a long robe, with upright facial features and a cold silhouette. Behind him were several black-clothed warriors with grim eyes.

"Who are you?" looked at Xia's eyes, and the middle-aged man in front of him had never seen it.

"Huh. The middle-aged man smiled faintly and replied, "Brother Xia, I will be named Yuanlin." ”

"Are you from the Blue Wind Empire's royal family?"

Jiang Xia was slightly shocked, when he followed Yao'er to leave the Blue Wind Empire, the Yanjing royal family sent two martial kings to hunt down and kill him, one was named Yuan Sen, and the other was Yuan Lin. Yuan Sen had been killed by Yao'er on the way to chase him, and he thought that this matter would come to an end, but he didn't expect Yuan Lin to chase him to Xizhou.

"Not bad. Yuan Lin didn't deny it, and looked at Jiang Xia deeply, "Since you can reveal my identity in one mouth, it seems that my companion Yuan Sen has been killed by you!"

Originally, Yuanlin Yuansen was chasing Jiang Xia together, but because of the time when Jiang Xia went to Yuncheng to rescue Yao'er, the two lost their goal. In addition, Jiang Xia at that time was only an eighth-level martial artist, and for the Martial King, he could easily pinch him to death with one finger. So the two chose to go separately to find Jiang Xia. After that, Yuan Sen was the first to find it, but he died under Yao'er's ghost king seal.

Jiang Xia didn't answer the other party directly, and a chill welled up in his eyes, "Where is my friend?"

"Don't worry, they're all fine. ”

"Yuan Lin, if you dare to touch them, you will regret it. ”

Holding Xia's hand tightly in Yao'er couldn't help but tighten a little. Yao'er also knew that Jiang Xia was most worried about Xia Xiaonan, after all, she was still injured, and if something happened to her, Jiang Xia would not be at peace for the rest of her life.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, little brother Xia. Yuan Lin showed a kind smile on his face, "Jiang Xia, I have also seen your performance in the Summoner Competition, and I am really surprised by your strength." So I won't choose to be your enemy. ”

"Hmph,"

"Jiang Xia, believe me in the purpose of coming to you, you also know that I like to talk to smart people. As long as you give me back the Devil May Cry spear, those friends of yours will be fine. ”

The killing intent in Natsu's eyes surged, and he coldly spit out a few words, "What if I say no?"

"Of course, you can choose not to give it to me, or you can kill us all, but I can guarantee that you will never find them. ”

"You?"

The clenching of Xia's fist gurgled as the cold killing intent gradually spread. Yao'er frowned slightly, and shouted coldly, "Jiang Xia, don't talk so much nonsense with them, so many people, I don't believe that there are no people who are not afraid of death, slowly torture them, see if they say anything?"

"Hehe, this young lady has a point. Yuan Lin laughed strangely, rubbed his chin with his right hand, and said with interest, "These brothers behind me are dead soldiers cultivated by the royal family, even if they face the Daoshan oil pot, they will not frown, if you don't believe it, you can try, but after you try it, I can't guarantee that your friends will be safe and sound." ”

"Hmph, are you scared of Miss Ben?" Yao'er, who was used to seeing the world, how could she listen to Yuan Lin's words, and just as she wanted to make a move, she was held by a strong and powerful hand.

"Shoxia, you?"

Jiang Xia ignored Yao'er and stared at Yuan Lin with a solemn face, "They had better be fine, otherwise I will let you die without a place to bury." Then he flipped his palm, and with the eerie ghost crying wolf's howl, Xia had an extra snake-shaped sword in his hand that emitted blood-red light.

The strong ferocious aura made Yuan Lin and the others all change color, and with a move of Xia's wrist, the snake-shaped long sword swept towards Yuan Lin. The latter stretched out his right hand and grabbed the Blood Snake Sword in his hand, and the blood-red sword body immediately buzzed and trembled.

"I want the Devil May Cry spear. Yuan Lin looked confused, with his eyesight, he could find that the power of the long sword in his hand was definitely not weaker than the treasure on the artifact list, but he didn't want this.

"This is the Devil May Cry Spear. Jiang Xia replied calmly.

"Oh?" Yuan Lin was surprised, frowned, carefully looked at the Blood Snake Sword, and then his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "You used the shape-shifting black iron?"

When it came to the transformation of black iron, Yao'er couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said angrily, "Have you finished chirping crookedly? Devil May Cry spear was also given to you, and you still don't tell them where they are?"

When he got the Devil May Cry spear, Yuan Lin's eyes began to glow, but he quickly retracted his mind and suppressed the joy in his heart, "Hehe, please don't be impatient, I have already got the thing, so naturally I won't break my promise, but,"

"But what?"

"Huh. Yuan Lin smiled faintly, and then handed the Blood Snake Sword to a black-clothed warrior behind him, who took it carefully, and as soon as his mind moved, he received it in the storage ring.

"You go first. Yuan Lin commanded.

"Yes. Several black-clothed warriors nodded in agreement.

Yao'er frowned, and let go of Jiang Xia's arm, her figure flashed, blocking in front of several people, "Hmph, do you want to leave?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood, young lady. Yuan Lin still had a hypocritical and kind smile on his face, "Two, I just left with the Devil May Cry spear first, and I will stay here in Xiaxia, and when they reach a safe place, I will naturally tell the truth about your friend's whereabouts." ”

"You're so despicable. Yao'er was angry with itchy teeth, and she had the urge to slap a few people to death.

"Hehe, the two of them are now strong warriors, and they can only rest assured after sending the Devil May Cry spear away safely, and please forgive me. ”

Yuanlin is an old man, and his experience in traveling abroad is even more sophisticated. secretly thought that as long as the Devil May Cry spear left, it would not be difficult to get rid of Jiang Xia and the two with his own strength. Before Yao'er and Jiang Xia could speak again, they motioned for a few black-clothed subordinates to leave.

A few people nodded, and hurried away with Devil May Cry spears. Yao'er wanted to stop it, but when she received Jiang Xia's affirmative eyes, she had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the few people who disappeared into the night, Yuan Lin felt more and more proud in his heart, and he found the Zhenguo artifact, and what was waiting for him was to pay homage to the marquis. Thinking about the hard work of chasing Xia to Xizhou all the way, it is worth it after all.

Yao'er's beautiful eyes were cold, and she said coldly, "Now you are satisfied, are you!

"Hehe, you two wait a little longer. ”

"You?" ......

Time passed minute by minute, and those black-clothed warriors had been gone for more than half an hour. Jiang Xia's delicate face was like a layer of frost frozen, and his clear eyes were surging with cold killing intent, and his patience had been completely polished.

"Yuanlin, give you one last chance, if you don't say it now, then die!"
