Chapter 349: Turmoil in the Inner City

His gaze shrank rapidly along the overflowing time channel, and the scene in front of Xu Shen's eyes changed rapidly, and finally all the mottled colors disappeared, leaving only the weedy ruins in front of him.

It was once the site of the Hathaway family's estate. Now it has long been abandoned, and the once prosperous and lively have come to an end.

A tingling pain came from his eyes, and Xu Shen couldn't help but reach out to cover it, feeling a viscous liquid overflow down his fingers.

Looking down, there was blood on his hands. Xu Shen felt that his eyesight was a little foggy, he closed his eyes and asked Haijue to help him treat it, and after a while, the stinging sensation gradually disappeared.

At this time, Xu Shen felt the soreness and weakness of his whole body as if he was overdrawn. Despite the Crimson Cloak and Sea Jue as their back-up, they have crossed this long time and gazed into the past.

It also has the ability to release the cage of the mind across time and space. The combination of the two made him feel like he was falling apart, his body was empty, and he couldn't squeeze out a trace of strength.

Thinking of the result of this cross-time and space confrontation, Xu Shen felt bitter and frustrated. Although he is angry, unwilling, and desperate, it seems that everything is arranged by fate.

The queen ant of the past body

"Hide" in the past...... was actually blocked in the past by himself. He obviously wanted to kill her, but instead he stuck her in the past and couldn't come to her own timeline, so that she could never really kill her.

In the face of time, he and the queen ant are both fools, played by time. The queen ant wanted to shuttle over and strangle him in front of the king, but it happened to be her actions that led to Xu Shen's smooth promotion to the king.

Otherwise, maybe Xu Shen may not have a chance to be promoted in this life. And she wants to kill the queen ant, but she happens to block it in the past, so that he can never reach it, and kill it.

It is already the limit to be able to seal it with a mental cage and prevent it from causing changes in the past to the future.

Not only was the queen ant played by time, but even Xu Shen, who saw through this in advance, couldn't escape. Caught in the game, they are all chess pieces.

Xu Shen couldn't help but wonder, if he was willing to accept his fate and didn't use his ability to shuttle to the past, would this closed loop crack and break his fate?

He didn't answer. Acceptance of fate and disappointment seem to be predestined. The choices he faces, the situation, and his own personality will lead him to make some choices.

This is true even when you know the outcome. This may be the terrible nature of fate. The so-called change of life against the sky, how could it not have been a fate that had been arranged a long time ago?

Xu Shen let out a long sigh and was silent for a long time. From the previous phenomena, he had long expected such a result - he could not kill the queen ant!

If you can kill her, you will have a chance to eat her, thus borrowing her abilities. And if she can borrow her ability, then in the previous war, in addition to the projection of the queen ant, there will be a projection of your own.

After all, once she kills the ant queen and inherits everything from her, what she can do, she can do it herself.

But in fact it is not. There is no self that shuttles from the future. In the various hardships he had suffered in the past, he did not shuttle to protect himself.

This has long indicated that he will not be able to kill the queen ant and obtain its abilities. The ability of time and the queen ant are forever locked in the distant past, untouchable.

When the queen ant helped him become king, Xu Shen saw that the queen ant was fooled by time, and because of this, he also saw the result he expected, but he wanted to try to change this fate.

But such an attempt, with all his might, his unwillingness and refusal to accept his fate have instead become the last link of fate, making fate completely closed.

If he could go back to ten minutes ago, Xu Shen would definitely choose to stop and not pursue it

"Past body" queen ant. He wanted to see what would happen in that case. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to change what has already happened.

There is no second chance. Even if there is, Xu Shen guesses that there may be other reasons, or special circumstances, let

The "results" still happened as expected. Sitting on the ground and resting for a long time, Xu Shen recovered a little before slowly getting up.

He gazed deeply at the ruined manor, in the distant timeline, the queen ant was in front of him at this moment, the two of them were very close to each other, but they were too late to reach the end of the world, never to be touched again.

Of all the enemies Xu Shen encountered, the queen ant was by far the most terrifying, the most difficult, and the longest he had ever fought for, and in the end he still failed.

Perhaps such a strong enemy will continue to exist in the future. Xu Shen thought of the ruling council. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the five who can sit at the top of the human race must not be simple characters.

"The way forward...... It's hard. Xu Shen muttered to himself.

"It's okay, I'll be with you." Maeve appeared beside Xu Shen, bent down and approached, a strand of hair slid down his ears, smiling and gentle: "Always." Xu Shen's heart warmed, and a smile appeared on his face.

………… Return from Moonlight Town. Blocking the queen ant in the past, the queen's future and current bodies were also killed, and he also got the legendary ruin soldier scarlet cloak, Xu Shen now feels that he can finally take a breath and no longer need to be so tight.

As for the escaped Night Rat King, there is nothing to worry about. Even if he continued to plot and try to make a comeback and regain the City of Light, he would only be killing himself.

Queen 'Pamira' is an exception. But the other kings, except for a very few special existences, Xu Shen felt that he should not be too difficult to deal with.

"The Night Rat King promised me the reward yet, it seems that I have time to ask for it......" Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, he was busy with the queen's affairs before, and he didn't care about the Night Rat King at all, and he didn't dare to be distracted.

Now that the queen ant has been solved, he can track down the Night Rat King by tracking the queen before. Two days off.

Xu Shen was ready to deal with some of the backlog of trivial matters for the reform of the city, so he went to find the Night Rat King, and suddenly found that there were still many problems to face, the previous war caused financial constraints, and small gangs in various districts successively made chaos and took advantage of the fire to rob.

In addition, the supply of purifying anticipation in the inner city was actually cut off. The purifying agent is a big deal, and Xu Shen immediately summoned the high-level cadres in charge of this matter to inquire about the situation.

"Lord of the City, the factory on the inner city said that the situation in the inner city has been complicated recently, and all the ruin purifying agent manufacturing factories have stopped supplying outside, and all the ruin purifying agents have been transferred to the seven major families." The high-level cadres complained: "We went to learn about the procurement of other private groups in the city, and found that it seems to be the same, I heard that there is a conflict between the seven families in the inner city, and there will be a big war." Xu Shen was stunned, the seven major families in the inner city want to fight?

Could it be the Jiang family? Xu Shen suddenly thought of Sister Li, his eyes moved slightly, he used the status of the king of No. 10 to support him, but now he doesn't know what happened to the Jiang family.

A king's support, if it can't be alleviated, can only show that the situation of the Jiang family is extremely bad, and it lacks the strength to suppress the covetousness of tigers and wolves.

Sending this high-level cadre away, Xu Shen thought about it for a while, he thought of the spirit crystal, and immediately silently called in his mind.

Soon, Xu Shen's consciousness was sucked out of his body and quickly soared to the secret world. It's also amazing, his body was completely shattered before, but this spirit crystal didn't fall out, and it wasn't noticed by the queen ant.

Xu Shen guessed that this spirit crystal was probably fused with his own spirit, and it would fall out unless he really died, and his body and spirit collapsed.

Just like he had gotten the crystal earlier. Therefore, if you know that the enemy has a spirit crystal, you need to judge whether you have killed the opponent completely, and it seems that you can also use it as an indicator of whether the opponent's body will drop the crystal.

At this moment, bright stars are suspended in the sky, with different colors. Xu Shen was in the No. 10 ball of light, and he swept his eyes and saw that four balls of light lit up.

The head wolf of number 7, number 2, number 8, and number 11. Xu Shen remembered that the woman of Detective No. 3 said that 1, 2, 4, and 11 were all kings.

At this moment, the two kings were online, and Xu Shen was a little surprised. The four of them were chatting. Number 8 said, "Are you saying that if you want to resurrect a person completely, there is no other way than to turn back time?" ”

"Not necessarily, the types of abilities are bizarre, all kinds of abilities are available, maybe there is really the ability to bring the dead back to life, don't worry." Number 11 was a gentle male voice, and there was not the slightest hint of royal indifference and ruthlessness in his voice.

Rather, he is like a very gentle person. The No. 7 wolf grinned and said, "That is, when you become a king, you will definitely be able to make friends with other kings, and then ask other kings to help, and there is a great hope of resurrecting your wife." No. 8 was silent for a long time before saying thank you, and then there was no sound.

No. 2 didn't participate in No. 8's question, it seemed that he was purely uninterested, and he said to No. 11: "Do you know the recent situation in the inner city, No. 10 is also here, listen to No. 1, No. 10 you seem to have something to do with the Jiang family?" ”

"Elder No. 10, long time no see." The head wolf also saw Xu Shen and hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Since he knew that Xu Shen was the king, he no longer dared to be casual with Xu Shen.

Although this is a secret world, as long as you don't reveal your identity, you won't be detected, but after all, you are facing a king, and there will always be a feeling of heart.

Xu Shen snorted at the head wolf, and then said to No. 2: "What, the recent turmoil in the inner city is related to the Jiang family?" ”

"It seems that you really care about it...... No. 2 smiled lightly and said: "I advise you not to wade into this troubled water, the Jiang family is not only worried about the Han family now, I heard that some time ago, the juniors in the family also offended the juniors of the Mo family, and they fought with each other, and finally killed the juniors of the Mo family, and now the Mo family is also going to intervene." He laughed, and his voice was slightly joking: "In order to prevent the Han and Mo families from joining forces, the Jiang family went to ask the monarch who ruled the parliament to call the shots, and it seems that some worse conditions were discussed, which leaked out, causing dissatisfaction among other families, and the current Jiang family can be said to be shouted and beaten by everyone, let alone you, even if there are two more kings, it can't be saved." Xu Shen frowned slightly, he didn't expect the situation of the Jiang family to be so bad.

He asked, "Is there any basis for all these things?" Is it possible that the junior of the Mo family was killed, and the Mo family did it on purpose, just to find a reason to join this feast? ”

"It's also possible, otherwise it's impossible to simply avenge a junior, and to fight with the same seven families." No. 2 said with a smile: "After all, the seven major families have each other's practice of assassinating each other's core sequence geniuses, and they have long cultivated a professional assassination department over the years, what is the death of a junior, isn't it just for the juniors to be sacrificed, but unfortunately, it is so far, whether it is intentional or careless, it is meaningless, as long as you find a reason, anyone can step on two feet, this is the current Jiang family." He glanced at Xu Shen, and suddenly smiled and said: "If it weren't for the face of No. 10, even I would want to step on two feet, although I can't look down on other things in the Jiang family now, but the Ghost Moon Ruins soldiers in the hands of the old king are a good thing." ”

"You mean the legendary ruin?" Xu Shen frowned. Number 2 smiled: "Of course. ”

"Two elders, take the liberty of excuse me, what are you talking about the ruling council?" The head wolf asked curiously and cautiously.

"Looks like 7 isn't from the inner city." There was a slight singularity in Number 2's voice. The head wolf was stunned, his face changed suddenly, would his own problem actually reveal his identity?

"Are you from the Seven Great Families?" Xu Shen suddenly asked No. 2.

"You can't say that." Number 2 replied immediately. Xu Shen glanced at No. 2 and felt that the other party might also be a member of the Seven Great Families, after all, most of the kings were distributed among the Seven Great Families in the inner city.

"Can you do me a favor?" Xu Shen said: "The news about the Jiang family will be passed on to me at any time, and I will give corresponding rewards." No. 2 said in surprise: "Do you really want to continue to mix?" He didn't expect Xu Shen to take the Jiang family so seriously, even if it was once a life-saving kindness, after all, the current Jiang family is a fire pit.

Xu Shen did not answer. He has to judge by the situation. If the Jiang family is really bad enough for the other six major families to trample on, then there is nothing he can do.

After all, it can't be for the Jiang family, he is against the six major families, which is unrealistic. At most, she will save Sister Li from the Jiang family, even if she does her best.

Seeing that Xu Shen didn't speak, No. 2 thought for a while and said: "There is no need to repay, if you really want to mix, I will inform you if there is any news, but judging from the current news, each family is already stocking up on the ruin purifier, indicating that preparations have begun for a big war, and it is estimated that it will break out in a month or two at most." Xu Shen nodded slightly: "Thank you." ”

"You're doing it yourself." After No. 2 finished speaking, the ball of light went down. No. 11 on the other side said gently: "No. 10, I heard that you have a deep friendship with the Jiang family?" ”

"Sort of." Xu Shen replied.

"In that case, I must help." No. 11 said gently: "If you have a friendship, you must reciprocate, even if it is a little bit, you must repay it with all your might, I support you." Xu Shen's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at No. 11.

The other party spoke gently, and his tone was extremely gentle, and he seemed to be warm-hearted. But how could a king have such strong feelings?

"Let's see." Xu Shen didn't say much to No. 11, and also withdrew from the secret world. Back to reality, Xu Shen immediately found a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and then called Xue Coal and asked him to take the letter to the inner city and deliver it to the Jiang family.
