Broken Dry City.

This city originally belonged to the Great Qian Empire, but it was dominated by the Xiling Empire hundreds of years ago, just because its geographical location is extremely important to the Xiling Empire.

Of course, the current war between the two countries is far less tragic than it was hundreds of years ago.

And in this broken city, although there are many forces, none of them are dominant, even the imperial family with millions of soldiers. However, if Duan Chen and the others wanted to go to Daqian, they had to pass through this city, and there was basically no possibility of a detour.

The entire city wall is more than ten zhang high, and it is also thick and solid, surpassing all the cities of the empire, but the buildings in it are not so dense, and there are not too many mansions of wealthy families.

This time when he entered the city, Stuman'er was still covered with a pink veil. As for Duan Chen, it is rare to wear a hat with a black veil to cover his face. Although the road is safe, if there is an incident in the city, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the two of them to deal with it.

After entering the city, you have to fill your stomach with the restaurant first.

"It is said that this time I came to attack the city, and it is still that Duan's home. ”

Only then did he sit down and order the delicacies, and such a sentence came from his ears, which made Duan Chen sensitive, and the whole thing seemed to be ossified there.

"It's not the first time, what's there to fuss about. ”

"Do I have it, I just think, how can this family be so unrepentant. ”

Two or three tables apart from Duan Chen, four or five big men, armored costumes, and a dining room. Don't forget to chat about the battle ahead.

In recent years, although there has been a constant war between the two countries. But it doesn't hurt or itch, and it seems to be dry and strategic. But. In the last two years, the war between the two countries has intensified. And even if the war between the two countries heats up, the fluctuations are basically ordinary people, and it will have no impact on those forces at all. Except, of course, the Imperial Family.

"Also, this family has come to harass my Xiling many times, and the final outcome can only be to damage the family elite, as the so-called gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Hmph!" Hearing this, a big man sneered: "Today's Duan family." It's just a big dog, and he has no choice at all. ”

“......”

Quack.

Listening to these words word for word, Duan Chen unconsciously broke the chopsticks in his hand, and his entire breath fluctuated, even as cold as Stuman'er.

Although he had already understood in his heart, he also understood that the Duan family was now down, but when he heard it at this moment, he was inexplicably unhappy in his heart. And at the next moment, he secretly swore in his heart that the Duan family must rise again.

"Don't worry too much, if it weren't for Emperor Qian, your Duan family's situation. I'm afraid it's even more bleak. ”

Maybe it was because he guessed Duan Chen's thoughts, or maybe he didn't want Duan Chen to care too much about what he had heard in the past, Sturman'er whispered. It was actually to Duan Chen, casting a trace of warm and caring gaze.

“......”

Raise your eyes to Stuman. Although Duan Chen chose to be silent, his eyes were resolute. Obviously, it's hard to get out of it.

After about dozens of seconds of silence, Sturman, who seemed to have hesitated, spoke.

"I once heard my grandfather say that these years have been completely caused by big cadres unilaterally provoking wars. And in the meantime, there seems to be some kind of conspiracy......"

"Conspiracy, can this conspiracy have anything to do with my Duan family!"

Before Sturman'er finished speaking, Duan Chen couldn't help but interrupt him.

frowned slightly, rolled his eyes angrily, and then Stuman'er continued: "I don't know much about this. And according to me, that Emperor Qian had already cultivated the soul path in secret, and killing corpses in successive battles should be his true purpose. ”

This is a speculation on the part of Sturman. What she knew was that Emperor Qian had cultivated the Soul Dao, and she had Duan Chen's understanding of the Soul Devouring Technique, so she had such a speculation.

Hearing this, Duan Chen was still silent, but his brows had already wrinkled unconsciously, and he was even more subconscious, associating Emperor Qian's cultivation soul path with the soul devouring technique.

"Could it be that this Emperor also needs a lot of souls......

Although he didn't know much about the cultivation of the soul path, he had the existence of the soul devouring technique, and the war was full of corpses, so he would more or less unconsciously want to go in that direction.

"However, what does this have to do with my Duan family, it is only that the big cadre can only be used......

As his thoughts spread, he became more and more directionless, and for the first time, he thought about having contact with the people of the Duan family earlier.

"There are some things that you can't control. And if you want to change all this, you can only make your own strength completely stronger. ”

At this moment, the rhetoric is not entirely comforting Duan Chen, but a true portrayal of Stuman's heart. After all, the current Stu family is not the same for her.

After his thoughts spread, looking at Stuman'er with a serious and resolute face at this moment, Duan Chen completely relaxed in an instant.

"Don't worry, I'll never be as stupid as you. ”

smiled slightly, his words inevitably had a joking taste, but Stuman'er was a little reluctant, immediately snorted coldly and put down his chopsticks, and got up and walked out of the restaurant directly.

After smiling helplessly, Duan Chen followed him.

After finding the ideal inn, this time Stuman directly opened two rooms, and did not take care of Duan Chen from beginning to end.

And when Duan Chen entered the room, he closed the door, and the soul bell on his waist flashed a black mist strangely. Immediately after that, the black mist distorted in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a ghost old man appeared as if it were real.

At present, the soul of the ghost old man, although it is only a foot tall and dull and monotonous black, in Duan Chen's vision, not only is the ghost old man's face clear, but even the black mist has transformed into a black robe.

And when the black fog was transformed into shape, the foot-tall ghost old man actually flew around the house, like a beast that had been trapped for a long time, and was released in a moment, and the whole catharsis was depressed and excited.

Hahaha!~~

The ethereal laughter from the ghost old man is cold, giving people a creepy scalp tingling.

"This feeling is much cooler than Lao Tzu's physical body......"

“......”

At this moment, looking at the ghost old figure in the soul state in his eyes, and hearing those words again, how could Duan Chen be speechless. However, his mood was no longer as depressed as before because of the sudden appearance of the ghost elder.

The current ghost elder, even if there is no soul bell, is completely able to exist in heaven and earth, and the only thing that seems to be missing is a body like Duan Chen. However, from a certain point of view, he still can't do without the soul bell.

First, his invisibility 'body' could only be with the help of the soul bell. Second, his so-called seizure and refining of the pure soul, at this stage, he also had to rely on Duan Chen to beat it into the soul bell. (To be continued......)
