Chapter Ninety-Seven: I'll Check Myself, Won't I?
Maple City, the actual center of the Black Horn Domain, was originally the headquarters of Han Feng, the first alchemist of the Black Horn Domain.
But since the sudden disappearance of Medicine Emperor Han Feng three years ago, the city has changed owners.
A mysterious powerhouse sits in Maple City, not only suppressing the major forces that have begun to move, but also condensing the black alliance that was originally on the verge of collapse into one entity.
This person's name is Qin Tian.
It is rumored that his strength is unpredictable, and he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and the ordinary Dou Sect is not an enemy.
But at this moment, he was chatting with a young man in the chamber of the Black Alliance, and he didn't have the domineering, sinister and ruthless feeling in the past.
"Young Master Xiao Yan is here, drink tea." A beautiful maid walked in with two cups of tea, and Qin Tian smiled and asked Xiao Yan to taste it.
"Thank you Qin Zun for being old, but the main purpose of my coming this time is to inquire about the classics of the Soul Palace, you said that you can't be the master, why is this?"
Xiao Yan sat beside Qin Tian with a sad face, he had been talking to Qin Tian here for two hours, but the latter still did not agree to open the classics in this branch hall to Xiao Yan for reference.
It really made him lose his patience.
On the other side, Qin Tian was also a little helpless, although the level of Xiao Yanyan's protector in front of him was not high, his status was quite respectful, and he had the heart to open the classics directly to him.
But recently, the hall master has ordered that the Soul Hall will start a new round of reform, and it is necessary to reform the bad atmosphere of outsourcing in the past and optimize the efficiency of the Soul Palace.
This makes them, the people in charge of each branch hall, a little constrained, for fear that one of them will accidentally step on the red line.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Tian gritted his teeth a little, their Soul Hall had been doing this for hundreds of years, why did they suddenly have to change the system?
How easy it is to outsource. You don't have to do it yourself, you only need to pay a small amount of money, and you can get a lot of people to sacrifice their lives to help you do things.
According to the reform method of the hall master's soul annihilation, many things will have to be done by themselves in the future, and they don't even think about paddling and fishing, and those original peripheral members will also get the corresponding status.
But as a result, the expenses in the branch hall will inevitably rise.
The good old days are gone.......
Who the hell is so bored to cancel outsourcing?
Don't you know that the law of the ancestors is immutable!
"Regarding this matter, this is the case, the classics of the Soul Hall need a certain contribution before they can be consulted, Young Master Xiao Yan, you just joined the Soul Palace, and you escaped the branch hall work of the Gama Empire before, and now not only does you have no contribution value, but you also owe us the workload of a six-grade alchemist soul in the northwest branch hall."
Qin Tian's face was embarrassed, and his eyes looked at Xiao Yan from time to time, as if Xiao Yan's request was really a little unreasonable, but in fact, he just wanted to get through this time.
"So what am I going to do?" Xiao Yan frowned.
The protectors of the Soul Hall have to hand over a fixed number of soul bodies every three years, which Xiao Yan has known since Hai Bodong, but how long has he just become a Dharma protector, so he may have a full contribution value?
Why don't you take out some of the souls in the Ten Thousand Souls?
That's not enough, although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is full of the soul bodies of the pride of the sky, they haven't grown up yet.
The only one who echoed the request was the soul of Furukawa.
But how could Xiao Yan hand over the main soul of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner?
"It's obviously unrealistic to ask the Yan Protector to go to your soul now." Qin Tian also knew this, so he took out a jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"
"Not long ago, there was a big thing in the Black Corner Domain, which you shouldn't know when you first came."
Xiao Yan took the jade slip and put it on his forehead, and after receiving the information inside, his face suddenly became strange.
"The Blood Sect has always been a subordinate sect of our Soul Hall in the Black Horn Domain, although their cultivation methods are a little bloody, most people don't like them very much, but they have made a lot of contributions to our Soul Palace, just now, I received a report from the City of Twilight, the Blood Sect was suddenly wiped out, and the surviving disciple said that the person who attacked them carried a huge snake-shaped demonic beast with him, and he was good at using a long sword."
Qin Tian told the story, constantly paying attention to Xiao Yan's face during the period, and after finding that his face was a little bad, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
"So I want you to go to the City of Twilight to investigate who is doing this? It would be even better if the murderer could be caught. ”
Or I'll tie myself up to you. Xiao Yan wanted to cry without tears.
"Void Devouring Flame, you come out for me!"
"Check it, check it, you go back to the city of twilight to find an inn to sleep in for half a month, and then come back and tell this kid that the ancient clan made it, isn't it?" Nothingness Swallowing Flame replied weakly.
"It's all your greedy pot!"
"Excuse me, Xiao Boy is indecisive and strange to the ancient clan, you believe me, it's no problem."
Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, put away the jade slip, and walked out of the Black Alliance meeting hall.
There is no way, you can bear the trouble yourself.
I hope to blame the ancient clan, Qin Tian can accept it.
...........
The Gu Clan, one of the seven existing ancient families, its patriarch Gu Yuan once fought with the Soul Heavenly Emperor in the back mountain of the Xiao family on the day when the Soul Heavenly Emperor accepted him as an apprentice.
Although both of them suppressed their strength, the spatial rift formed by that battle failed to heal for a long time in the mountain behind the Xiao family, turning it into a forbidden land.
Not seeing the big picture.
It is enough to see that the strength of the ancient clan is quite not weak.
Of course, Xiao Yan's impression of the Gu Clan was not limited to this, but also the demi-saint who slapped him to death in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
According to Yao Lao, it is also from the ancient family.
And Kaoru'.......
Time has passed, and today's Xiao Yan can roughly understand why Xun'er gave him that beast fire map in the first place.
There is a high probability that Xun'er already knew that she was accepted as an apprentice by the Soul Heavenly Emperor, and the beast fire map was just to keep herself away from the Xiao family at that time, and she didn't want to be hurt by the people of the ancient clan.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that after the people of the ancient clan took away the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, they still chose to hunt down Xiao Yan and succeeded.
Xiao Yan's feelings for Xiao Xun'er are actually quite complicated, her childhood sweetheart, she is half her first love, although her purpose in coming to the Xiao family may be to give up the ancient emperor jade, but she will never abandon him during his downfall, which can be regarded as a deep affection.
But........
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.
Xiao Yan spread his wings and flew into the sky behind him, he planned to return to the City of Twilight alone, Yun Yun had to recuperate in Fengcheng for a period of time under the manipulation of the Void Devouring Flame, and he couldn't make the trip.
I hope this farce will end soon.
................
Twilight.
Xiao Yan's ass in Fengcheng was still hot, and he was sent back here, saying in his heart that there was no resentment, it was impossible.
It is impossible for him to really find an inn in the City of Twilight and sleep for half a month before going back, as Void Tunyan said, and then directly say that the Gu clan did it.
At the very least, we have to pull out the surviving disciple of the Blood Sect who reported to the Soul Hall Branch Hall to extinguish the silence!
Sleep soundly otherwise?
Following the hints in the jade slip, Xiao Yan searched for a joint location in the Twilight City.
That Blood Sect disciple had been hiding since the sect was destroyed, and if he didn't take the Jade Jane of the Black Alliance to find him, he would definitely not be able to find him.
According to the prompt, Xiao Yan came to a restaurant.
I saw that the ground in front of the restaurant could vaguely see some blood stains that had not been wiped clean, and in a hidden place, half of the fingers fell into the grass.
The person in charge of cleaning is obviously extremely perfunctory and ignores the past.
Isn't this the place where the big man robbed the people's girls before?
Xiao Yan still remembers that scene, two teenagers and girls who sneaked out of their homes to play, walked to the street and were chopped off by a big man who saw the color, and later if it wasn't for the shopkeeper of this restaurant, the girl would have been murdered.
It was already dark, Xiao Yan walked into the restaurant with a cold face, and in an instant, more than a dozen eyes fell on him in the hall on the first floor.
After they saw Xiao Yan's delicate face clearly, many people chuckled.
"It's another teenager who doesn't know whether to live or die, during the day today, there was just a crack in front of the restaurant, and another one doesn't have a long memory." Someone threw the bowl on the table, as if he was very disdainful of these teenagers who were out and about.
"Yes, this young man has a cold face, I don't know what kind of master he thinks, he doesn't have any fighting spirit on his body, most of it is a fighting spirit." A drunken man echoed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
"I heard that after the shopkeeper Yu rescued the girl, he took her to the backyard, I see, most of them are spoiled, maybe she is still a yellow flower girl!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the restaurant was immediately ignited, and these fighters who broke into the Black Corner Domain lived a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and the only leisure and entertainment was to drink and brag at night.
A big man blew to the end of the fun, and walked to the middle of the gap on the table, making a hip movement.
This once again ignited the atmosphere in the lobby of the restaurant.
The child at the counter seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing, and after skillfully beckoning Xiao Yan to sit down, he asked him what he wanted.
"Whatever, what do you guys do here?" Xiao Yan discharged a stack of gold coins on the table.
"Yo, this master, you wait, I'll immediately ask the kitchen to make it for you urgently." The shopkeeper put away the gold coins with a smile and poured Xiao Yan a bowl of warm rice wine diligently.
Xiao Yan picked up the rice wine, took a sip, and a warm current rose in his stomach.
He did this on the fly.
After all, after thinking about it, since he left the Xiao family and left Utan City, he hadn't eaten a good meal for a long time.
In the minds of many powerhouses in the Douqi Continent, such things as eating and sleeping seem to be completely non-existent, and they can live on dry food.
But after coming to this kind of place full of fireworks, Xiao Yan suddenly had some interest in tasting food.
The restaurant served quickly, and the shopkeeper first put a small stove on the table, stuffed a few pieces of red-hot charcoal into it, and finally put a small pot on the stove.
In the small pot, the red soup is covered with a few small fish, and the edge of the pot is covered with a circle of dough, which looks very fresh.
As if seeing the confusion in Xiao Yan's eyes, the shopkeeper introduced in a timely manner: "Guest officer, this is the specialty of our store: small fish pot stickers, which are not available in other places in the Black Corner Domain." ”
"There is also this dish, this dish is called egg yolk eggplant, which is also a unique delicacy in our restaurant, this dish is called braised pork, you can't see it anywhere in the Douqi Continent."
Xiao Yan lifted the kuaizi, picked up a piece of dough cake, wrapped it in red soup, and took a bite, and his lips and teeth were immediately fragrant.
"Not bad." Xiao Yan admired, and the indifference on his face melted like snow in early spring.
Good food always solves all unhappiness.
The premise is ...... No one bothered.
"Hey, I said that the little white face over there, it's so good to eat at night, and you're not afraid of dying? Send two dishes to Uncle Ben to try? A drunken man shouted at Xiao Yan, he looked sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, but his strength was not weak among everyone.
Eight-Star Fighter.
"Did you all see that? Just now, this kid took out more than a dozen gold coins in his hand, and he spent so much money on a dinner, he must be a rich man! A bearded man heckled at the drunken men.
Nine-Star Fighter.
"Young man, wealth is not exposed, didn't your family teach you?" A fat man with a meaty face walked towards Xiao Yan, still holding a jar of wine in his hand.
One-star Dou Master.
Except for these three people, everyone else followed suit.
Although he was eating, Xiao Yan's soul power could clearly see the situation present.
"Hey, I said boy, they talk to you, you're deaf?" The fat man with a meaty face was about to walk in front of Xiao Yan, and he sneered and looked at the "fat chicken" in front of him.
"Aren't you afraid that Shopkeeper Yu will trouble you?" Seeing the fat man with a meaty face coming over, the shopkeeper took a few steps back, hiding behind the counter and questioning him.
"I'm afraid of him?" The fat man was a little disdainful.
"This kid doesn't ....... today" The fat man with a meaty face pointed at Xiao Yan, and before he could say anything, he immediately stopped.
The young man in white picked up a quick egg yolk eggplant and put it in his mouth, savoring the taste, but there were three fast eggs floating in front of him, which was extremely weird.
Xiao Yan suddenly stretched out his empty left hand and waved it in front of him, as if he was chasing flies.
In the next second, three fast bolts shot out like meteors, piercing the heads of the three big men.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
With the sound of three watermelons bursting, the entire restaurant was silent, and the men who were still mocking Xiao Yan recklessly woke up and watched this scene with fear.
"Get out."
Xiao Yan said.
The big men fled towards the restaurant in a swarm as if they had been amnestied, and a few of them drank too much, and the road was not easy, and they fell three times along the way.
Xiao Yan continued to eat the dishes, and suddenly he frowned, looked at the shopkeeper who was stunned on the side, and scolded: "Where's the rice? ”
"This is coming, this is coming!" The shopkeeper finally came to his senses and ran towards the back kitchen in a panic.
But at this moment, a man in coarse linen clothes walked down from the second floor of the restaurant, his face was ordinary, it was Yu Tong, the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"This lord is a good means."
Xiao Yan glanced at Yu Tong, then took out the jade slip given by Qin Tian from the storage ring and put it on the table.
Yu Tong's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted:
"Yu Tong, a disciple of the Blood Sect, has seen an adult."
