Chapter Thirty-Six: Retreat
The castle lord's mansion, in the middle of a tall temple. The expression on Zhang Lianhao's face at this time was not as imagined by outsiders, and there was not even the slightest anger on his face.
His face was gloomy, and there was only lingering worry in his eyes except fear, mixed with a trace of reluctance.
Zhang Lianhao's figure flashed, and he came to the front of the mansion, and when he saw Ye Ziyu dressed as a ranger, he was even more suspicious.
He stood still thirty zhang away from Ye Ziyu and confronted Ye Ziyu from afar.
This is the first time Ye Ziyu has seen this famous Black Wind City Lord, Zhang Lianhao, known as the God of the Three Thousand Miles Land.
His appearance is seven or eight points similar to Zhang Baocheng, who was killed by himself, but the aura of the yin owl between his eyebrows is even stronger.
Wearing a golden robe, wearing a crown of skyrocketing, he looks like he is only in his forties, but the vicissitudes in his eyes can't be hidden.
Zhang Lianhao was also looking at Ye Ziyu at this time, judging from his appearance, he was just an extremely ordinary ranger boy, no more than twenty years old, but his eyebrows were full of fortitude and determination, and he wore a green shirt with a long sword hanging from his waist.
Just now, when he swung his sword to destroy the wall, his own strength was undoubtedly revealed, but it was only the fifth layer of qi refining, and he had not even reached the peak of the fifth layer of qi refining.
But when he saw the pure white true qi surrounding Ye Ziyu's body, his eyes were full of solemnity.
It is actually the legendary Haoran righteousness, and it can already be released from the body, this son must be a Confucian protΓ©gΓ©, maybe there is a Confucian gentleman standing behind him at this time, maybe Chen Chuanfeng died at the hands of his protector.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lianhao's heart sank, and there was a trace of stagnation in the flow of true qi in his body.
It's just that he has been in Black Wind City for many years, and he has given up the foundation that he has been operating for decades, and Zhang Lianhao is really unwilling in his heart.
He suddenly rolled his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "You junior is not worthy of me to do it myself." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the worship of the fifth layer of Qi refining in the City Lord's Mansion standing below him, and said, "Li Han, you go and meet him!" β
The gray-clothed old man standing at the bottom couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he came here to see the city lord kill this madman who came out of nowhere, but Zhang Lianhao actually let himself take the lead.
You must know that you are only the strength of the fifth layer of qi refining, just now I saw that kid just let out his true qi and suppressed the master of the sixth layer of qi refining so that he couldn't raise his head, didn't he go up and send him to death?
Zhang Lianhao saw the change in the expression on his face, how could he not know what he was thinking. He sneered in his heart, but secretly transmitted the old man's voice: "You go up and deal with him, and I will help you later." β
Li Han's face was relieved, and he shouted at Ye Ziyu: "The little beast is crazy, wait for the old man to take your life!" β
After finishing speaking, he held the long knife shining with spiritual light on his waist in his hand, and his figure flashed and rushed in the direction where Ye Ziyu was standing.
Ye Ziyu sneered, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and he was about to slash at the old man who ran over.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his expression became very strange. The old man named Li Han did rush towards him, but when he rushed closer, he threw the long knife in his hand on the ground and bowed to Ye Ziyu.
shouted: "Shaoxia spares his life, Zhang Lianhao has done a lot of evil, and now Shaoxia is doing the right thing for heaven, I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I hope that the young man will not give up." β
The onlookers were in an uproar, even Ye Ziyu didn't react at once, and habitually touched his chin, this Li Han's face is really thick, and he actually defected to the battle, and the key is to say so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was really forced to be a thief and woke up.
The few remaining Qi Refiners in the City Lord's Mansion were also looking at each other at this time, their expressions changing, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Zhang Lianhao's face turned red, and he pointed at Li Han and roared: "Old horseman, dare to betray me!" After saying that, his momentum climbed to the top, and everyone in the audience felt the terrifying power emanating from his body.
The strong strength of the eighth layer of qi refining was undoubtedly revealed, inside and outside the city lord's mansion, the noisy voices were quiet, everyone's faces were full of solemnity, even Ye Ziyu put away his contemptuous look and began to wait for him.
Suddenly, Zhang Lianhao's figure flickered, and everyone's hearts were shocked, are you going to do it!
Ye Ziyu's hand had already pinched the spirit rune he had snatched from Chen Chuanfeng, the eighth layer of qi refining was always much stronger than the seventh layer of qi refining, don't be careless, in case Lian Hao made a killing move, this spirit rune could block his attack.
And just when he was about to face the enemy, he saw that Zhang Lianhao did not advance but retreated, so he turned around directly and rushed in the opposite direction with lightning speed.
In just a few breaths, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this time, even Ye Ziyu was at a loss, could it be that Zhang Lianhao had arranged some powerful formation, wanting to lure himself to chase him?
Just when he was suspicious, Zhang Lianhao's true qi fluctuation in the spiritual sense sense had already left the Black Wind City, all the way to the south, and after a stick of incense, it completely disappeared from Ye Ziyu's spiritual sense.
At this time, everyone reacted, and Zhang Lianhao's move was even more shocked.
Zhang Lianhao, who was on the eighth layer of qi refining, actually fled without a fight in the face of a young man on the fifth layer of qi refining, which was really unexpected by everyone.
At this time, everyone once again turned their attention to the young man in the field, and the true qi fluctuations emanating from his body were indeed the fifth layer of qi refining, not the ninth layer of qi refining, nor the tenth layer of qi refining!
What is different about him, it scared Zhang Lianhao away.
Some careful people have noticed that such a big event has happened in the City Lord's Mansion, but as the second-in-command of Black Wind City, Deputy City Lord Chen Chuanfeng has not appeared, this signal is really intriguing.
Could it be that Chen Chuanfeng has joined forces with this young man, so he forced Zhang Lianhao away? Or is it the heroic spirit shown by a teenager? But the two inferences didn't seem to be quite right, and everyone's eyes were once again on Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu's expression had already returned to normal at this time, Zhang Lianhao's escape without a fight was actually expected by him, but he thought that this possibility would be very small, but he didn't expect Zhang Lianhao to really run, and he didn't show a single move, so he ran away like this.
Give up the nest he has been running for decades, and give up the wealth he has accumulated for many years.
Thinking of wealth, Ye Ziyu's heart moved, and he turned around and asked Li Handao, who was standing behind him, "Do you know where the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion is?" β
Li Han's face was full of smugness at this time, and he was glad that he had made an extremely correct choice, this Lian Hao was really lustful, and he definitely wanted to let himself test Ye Ziyu and die in vain.
Suddenly, listening to Ye Ziyu's question, when he heard the word treasure house, there was a ray of light in his eyes that was fleeting, but after Ye Ziyu's sharp eyes met his eyes, he dispelled the idea of playing clever.
Li Han stretched out his hand and pointed to a side hall on the west side of the main hall, and said respectfully: "Young man, Zhang Lianhao usually put all the looted spirit stones and spiritual weapons in the west room, and I will take you there." β
Not long after, Ye Ziyu stood in front of the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion, and the other onlookers on the street were dismissed by Ye Ziyu, so as not to open the treasure house and cause chaos and scramble when the time came.
At that time, he could see that the eyes of everyone present flashed with a touch of unwillingness, you must know that Zhang Lianhao has been entrenched here for many years, not to mention the looting gains, just the trade between Liang and Cai, he made a lot of money from it.
It's just that they are afraid of Ye Ziyu's power and don't dare to argue with him, but they are really unwilling to let them leave. So they all set their eyes on the monks of the sixth level of Qi refining led by them, hoping that they could take the lead and put some pressure on Ye Ziyu, so that everyone could get a piece of the pie.
However, after those high-level qi refiners glanced at each other, they separated their gazes, no one wanted to offend Ye Ziyu at this time, and it was even more impossible to stand up for these irrelevant people.
After the old man who was so pressed by Ye Ziyu's momentum that he fell to his knees stood up, he took the lead in leaving, followed by several high-level qi refiners who also dodged away.
As the so-called tree fell and scattered, everyone saw that these people were gone, how dare they stay here, and the crowd gathered in front of the city lord's mansion walked away after a while.
The silence outside the city lord's mansion returned to the past, and from time to time pedestrians passing by only dared to glance at it from a distance, and the timid ones hurriedly walked by with their heads down.
Ye Ziyu only smiled faintly when he saw this scene, Black Wind City has been evil for many years, if it is some people or monks who live in Black Wind City all the year round or are often oppressed on the border between the two countries, then Ye Ziyu doesn't mind giving them something.
But these are obviously people from the rivers and lakes who have come to fish in troubled waters, and their relationship with the city lord's mansion must be very close on weekdays, and it is estimated that they are not less engaged in bullying and oppressing good deeds.
If Fang Cai wants to be strong in those few realms, then he can just use it to stand up for power, and force Zhang Lianhao back without blood, although he has saved a lot of effort, but there are still too few smart people in this world, and there are always people who don't open their eyes and don't believe in evil.
However, it seems that there is no such person among these people, which makes Ye Ziyu can't help but sigh, and none of the people who come out to mix the rivers and lakes are stupid, all of them are old fritters who are used to crawling in the rivers and lakes.
But come to think of it, otherwise how could they be in this Black Wind City, if it was simpler, there would have been no bones left to eat.
When Ye Ziyu approached, he found that on the vermilion gate, there was a big lock shining with spiritual light, locking the temple door.
Ye Ziyu asked Li Han behind him, "What about the key?" β
Li Han looked bitter and replied: "There is only one key, which is kept by Zhang Lianhao himself, and if the rest of the people want to enter, they have to open the door in person, and they will leave immediately after taking the things." β
Ye Ziyu nodded after hearing this, and then he jumped up in the air, and slashed at the big lock with a sword, but unexpectedly only a spark was slashed, followed by the big lock actually held up a light curtain, Ye Ziyu's follow-up sword gang slashed on it like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no movement.
His expression changed, he didn't expect that the defensive power of this big lock was so strong, I am afraid that it had reached the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly after raising the long sword in his hand, it turned out that the long sword made of fine steel in Qingxi Town was already full of gaps on the blade at this time, and the sword body was full of cracks.
Ye Ziyu sighed, it was always just mortal iron, although he often wore it by his side, and the long sword was tempered by Haoran righteousness.
But when it is used to fight against these powerful enemies, it will often collide with spiritual weapons, and the life span of the long sword has also come to an end.
The long sword trembled, as if to say goodbye to him, followed by a crisp sound, the blade shattered, and Ye Ziyu had no choice but to throw the hilt of the sword, which was nailed to the vermilion lacquer gate.
Looking at the hilt of the sword inserted in the gate, Ye Ziyu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly had a plan.
