Chapter 45: The Transmission Note Array
Seeing such a hesitant expression on Liuhuo's face, Ling Chen had vaguely guessed that something was wrong, so he replied lightly, "Say it." ”
Liuhuo thought for a while and said, "My subordinates heard that Captain Chen You is dead. “
"What!?" Ling Chen jumped up from the chair directly when he heard this, his face was full of incredulity, and he asked anxiously, "Is it true?"
Ling Chen was very anxious at this time, Chen You was very kind of knowing him, and he was now a member of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, so he naturally had to be anxious about the things in the group.
"My subordinates heard in the mercenary market that the head of the regiment was chased and killed by the Black Tiger Mercenary Group in the wild forest, and fled into the depths of the forest, and his life and death were uncertain. Liuhuo replied helplessly.
Ling Chen's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this, and his tone began to become indifferent: "How can I know if this news is true?"
"I don't know if the deputy head of the regiment has a jade slip that transmits sounds, if there is this jade slip, he can judge the life and death of the person who uses this jade slip according to whether it is completely broken. Liuhuo replied, he looked at Ling Chen's expression as if he didn't understand, and continued to explain: "This sound transmission jade slip has a trace of mystical power, as long as you use your own mystical power to trigger it, you can achieve the effect of sound transmission, but this jade slip can only transmit sound within a radius of ten miles. “
"Oh?" Ling Chen let out a sigh when he heard this, and then he remembered the jade slip that Chen You had given him earlier, waved his hand at the flowing fire and said, "Okay, you can go out." “
"Yes. Although Liuhuo didn't know why Ling Chen suddenly wanted to go out by himself, he was basically unconditionally obedient to Ling Chen's orders now.
Ling Chen went directly into the Nine Heavens Qiankun Pagoda after the Flowing Fire left, he had previously placed the Jade Slip and the Silver Wolf Order in the small tower for the convenience of his cultivation, so he naturally couldn't take out the Jade Slip in front of the Flowing Fire.
Ling Chen walked to the Mortal Dust Hall and put the Silver Wolf Order into his arms, and the Transmission Jade Slip was put in Ling Chen's hand, and Ling Chen injected the Xuan Power into the Jade Slip according to the method that Flowing Fire had just taught, but the Jade Slip was still lying calmly in Ling Chen's hand.
"What's going on?" Ling Chen frowned and pondered, when he looked at the empty space of the small tower, he thought of a possibility, so he went directly out of the small tower.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Chen came out of the small tower, a white light appeared on the jade slip that was still lying quietly in his hand, and there seemed to be human words along with the white mang, but this word was very ethereal, Ling Chen couldn't hear it clearly, and then a thin crack began to appear on the originally flawless surface of the jade slip.
Ling Chen's heart suddenly felt when he saw this, he could now affirm the thoughts in his heart, the small tower was an independent space, Yu Jian cut off the connection with Ling Chen's living space after entering the small tower, and when Yu Jian returned to the living environment, he reconnected with Chen You.
The sounds that appeared with Bai Mang had disappeared, and the cracks on the jade slip could also show that Chen You's vital signs had become weak.
Ling Chen tried to inject the Xuan Li into this jade slip, only to see that the jade slip that had originally dimmed, the white light suddenly appeared, slowly lingering on the surface of the jade slip, and then several veins appeared, and as the veins continued to inject the Xuan power, they began to connect into a circular rune array, and the white light on the jade slip continued to beat with the circular array.
Ling Chen continued to inject Xuan power like this, the circular transmission rune array kept running, but no sound could be heard, Ling Chen continued to hold on for a quarter of an hour, and found that the rune array still failed to contact Chen You, just when Ling Chen wanted to give up, the frequency of the white light beating suddenly accelerated.
Then an intermittent and noisy voice came from the white mang: "Shou... Good mercenary... Title. “
After the sound came out, the jade slip shattered directly, and the white transmission note array also turned into brilliance and dissipated into the air.
Ling Chen listened to the sound like his last words, his face showed a look of confusion, and he had already begun to affirm in his heart that the news told by the flowing fire was true and undoubted, and Chen You and the others were indeed in danger!
Ling Chen's mood at this time was indescribable, the whole person sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea in his hand but did not drink, after thinking for a while, Ling Chen directly sprinkled the tea in front of him, and said solemnly: "A subordinate tea with wine, please rest assured that the head of the regiment will keep the title of my regiment!"
According to what the previous Flowing Fire said, Chen You was estimated to have died after the jade slip was shattered, so Ling Chen paid tribute to Chen You and the others in the room, came to the first floor to eat something casually, and then returned to the room to draw qi and cultivate.
Ling Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, running the Qi Induction Technique, with the continuous use of the Qi Induction Formula, Ling Chen's comprehension of this set of techniques became more familiar, and the operation of the Xuan Force continued to accelerate, faintly showing signs of entering Xiaocheng.
The time for cultivation often passed quickly, and the night had quietly fallen, and the slightly noisy sounds outside the inn had completely disappeared.
And above the roof, a dark shadow was quietly approaching the inn where Ling Chen was staying.
Ling Chen had already fallen asleep, he had to recuperate for tomorrow's conference, but Ling Chen's three senses had become extremely sensitive after bone washing, and when the black shadow fell on the corridor he was in, Ling Chen was already alert, looking at the window and slowly approaching the black shadow Ling Chen sneered in his heart: "Another one is here to send him to death." “
Ling Chen was still lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, looking at the dark shadow in front of the window through the corner of his eye.
The man in black did not rush into the room immediately as Ling Chen thought, but inserted a bamboo-like thing into the room, Ling Chen secretly said bad in his heart when he saw this, he knew that this kind of thing must be incense or something, Ling Chen's eyes condensed and directly grabbed the silver wolf order next to the pillow, and instantly poured Xuan Li and threw it towards the man in black.
Before the man in black could blow out the smoke, he saw a silver light flying towards him, he hurriedly dodged to the right to avoid Ling Chen's attack, only to hear a bang, the token thrown by Ling Chen was tightly embedded in the pillar behind the man in black, and the smoke of the man in black also fell to the ground.
The man in black looked at the token tightly embedded in the pillar, his eyes showed surprise, listening to the muffled sound, he knew that he might not be able to do it tonight, so he directly bent down to pick up the smoke and turned around and ran.
"Where are the thieves running!" "The man in black who had just walked out of the room looked at the fleeing man in black, and yelled and carried a knife to chase after him.
"Forget it, don't chase it. Ling Chen directly stopped the flowing fire and said, "That person's strength is in the middle stage of a martial artist, and you are not his opponent." “
At this time, many people in the inn have been awakened by this muffled sound, these people are basically mercenaries walking on the tip of the knife, naturally they are very sensitive to such a sound, these people all looked at Liuhuo and Ling Chen in their eyes, and began to talk in a whisper.
"What's going on?"
"I guess someone is looking for revenge. “
"I guess so, huh? Is that the Captain of the Flowing Fire?"
"Really, why is he here? Still carrying a knife, that person can't be here to assassinate him, right?"
.......
The sound of discussion continued, Ling Chen slowly walked to the pillar, took the silver wolf order from the pillar, and put it in his arms, his face was full of thought, frowning and muttering in his heart: "How can the figure of the person who came so familiar?"
"Deputy Leader..."Flowing Fire was about to speak, Ling Chen made a silent gesture, and Flowing Fire immediately stopped speaking and listened to Ling Chen's command.
"You go back first, there will be big things tomorrow. Ling Chen said lightly, and after speaking, he went back to the room directly, and sealed the window with a cloth.
Seeing this, Liuhuo didn't want to continue to ask, and went back to his room with the knife.
And those mercenaries who were watching were a little uneasy.
"Who was that young man just now? I read it right, the Flowing Fire Regiment Leader actually listened to his orders?"
"It's just a small thing, have you seen the token in the boy's hand?" said one of the mercenaries in a mysterious tone.
"Isn't it just a silver medal, what's so unusual. The other mercenary replied dismissively.
"Boy, you are not happy to say that you are tender, I have seen that token, it is the silver wolf order of the deputy head of the ninth-level force green wolf mercenary group!" The mercenary said in a reverent tone: "Okay, it's normal for mercenary groups like you to be unrecognizable by third- and fourth-level forces." “
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this, the previous young man turned out to be the deputy head of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, one of the two kings of mercenaries!
What a young boy this is, he can actually be the deputy head of the ninth-level force!? It sounds incredible, Ling Chen, they don't know each other, but Flowing Fire is a force under the Green Wolf Regiment, they know it, looking at Flowing Fire so respectful, they also know that the mercenary's words from the previous are true!
A few of them were just people from low-level forces, and they couldn't get in touch with the ninth-level forces at all, so it could be said that they looked up to, and at this time, the deputy head of the ninth-level forces was standing in front of them, which made them excited and respectful in their hearts, and they also felt incredible, they actually had reverence for a boy who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old!
After the man in black ran away, the entire inn was calm, and those mercenaries didn't dare to make trouble, they knew that there was still the deputy head of the ninth-level force living here, which they absolutely couldn't mess with!
After a night of silence, the sky gradually turned white, Ling Chen, Liuhuo and the others had some breakfast at the inn, and then went to the street to go to the opening place of the mercenary conference, the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, Ling Chen saw that they were all uniformly dressed mercenaries, all of whom had a bloody aura on their bodies, and some of them were gorgeously dressed wealthy families.
Liuhuo and the others were dressed in black at the moment, with a flame embroidered on their chest, which was the symbol of their mercenary group, while Ling Chen was wearing the clothes that had been ripped off Lu Wei's body earlier.
Ling Chen, as the deputy head of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Regiment, naturally walked in front of the team, and many people who knew Flowing Fire on the road showed surprised and confused expressions when they saw this scene, but when they saw Flowing Fire waving their hands, they just smiled and responded politely, and continued to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After a while, the crowd became crowded, Ling Chen came to a wide open space under the guidance of the flowing fire, Ling Chen visually measured that the entire open space was more than a hundred zhang wide, and behind this open space was a magnificent building, Ling Chen knew that this majestic building could only be inhabited by the city lord, and only the city lord had the strength to leave such a large open space in the city, so this building was undoubtedly the city lord's mansion.
This is also the place where the Mercenary Conference opens!I1387
