Table of Contents 25: Assassination (I)

After entering the real Tianyuan City, Qi Yu understood the reason for Bai Ye's admiration for this city.

The scene of a busy traffic made her almost cry out that there were so many human beings, but Shen Wuling, who was born in Shenzhou, calmly accepted the qiē in front of her.

The group found the hotel, booked two private rooms to rest, and after dinner, the six of them met in the girl's room to discuss today's itinerary.

"I'm going out for a walk!" she was the first to speak, her eyes sparkling and she raised her hand vigorously, "I was kicked out by the owners of those restaurants before I had time to visit Thousand Nights City! "Human?", "Society?" Qing Yu and Shen Wuling both showed puzzled looks.

And Bai Ye had already spoken first, without giving the two of them time to think deeply.

"Got it, don't be so excited, I can't stand it, like a little ghost. Bai Ye originally planned to go out to collect some information, he didn't feel at ease to leave Qi Yu in the hotel, who knew that this girl who lacked heart and eyes would not say something that should not be said, after all, he could not completely trust Shen Wuling and Qing Yu.

"Then I'm going too!" Bai Ruoyan had already grabbed Bai Ye's arm and let Bai Ye and Qiyu go out alone, so it wasn't the same as dating? This is absolutely impossible to develop! I don't understand why Bai Ruoyan, whose eyes were full of hostility, was thinking, but Shen Wuling consciously chose to rest in the hotel.

"I'm going out to do something, so that Miss Kanna's words will be left in the inn...... "Even if everyone stays in the city now, Light Feather doesn't dare to relax in the slightest."

"You all go about your business, and I'll protect you. Yun leaned against the wall, her head tilted, white smoke wafting from her seductive lips, "I think that in Tianyuan City, those who want to move Ling are not too presumptuous. "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Yunyi, I'll take my sister and Qiyu out for a walk, and collect some information by the way." Bai Ye stood up as he spoke, his eyes staring at the prayer that jumped up, "It's okay to take you out, but remember, you can't mess around, this is not Demon Bone Town." "Don't worry!" The thumbs-up prayer was more like a perfunctory warning from Bai Ye.

Afterwards, the crowd divided into three groups and took action.

In the crowded street, there was a girl in a windbreaker, shouting excitedly in front of the stalls, and behind the girl was a pair of men and women of the same age, looking like an intimate couple.

"Xiaobai, do you really plan to escort Ling back to Shenzhou?" Bai Ruoyan took her brother's arm, rubbed her face with a satisfied expression, and asked in a low voice, in the eyes of others, it is impossible to find that the two are chatting secretly.

After hearing his sister's question, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Do you remember what Chen Yexiang said, the mastermind behind the tragedy eight years ago was a big man in Shenzhou. "Do you want to use escort Ling's affection in exchange for the assistance of Shen Wujia?" Bai Ruoyan said the answer in her mind, but Bai Ye only shook her head slightly, "Sister, among the big people in Shenzhou, of course, it also includes Shen Wujia itself." "Then you want to use Rei to get close to Kamino and then take the opportunity to act?" "It's hard to say what I'll do in the future, at least for now, I really want to send her back safely, and besides, there is another reason for agreeing to escort her. Bai Ye remembered the fierce reaction of his body when he saw that weak girl for the first time before, and he was sure of one thing, "Shen Wuling, she is very strong!" "Very strong?" But Yun Yi clearly said that she ......" Bai Ruoyan never doubted her brother's judgment, but today she had doubts for the first time.

"This is also where I am confused, old lady, that eldest lady obviously has an aura that makes me tremble, but she looks dying, my instinct cannot deceive me, and her body is indeed quite weak, and she can't get an answer if she wants to break her head, maybe, time will tell us the truth, by the way, where did the prayer go?" Bai Ye, who stopped, couldn't help but shed a cold sweat, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a strange sea of people in front of him, and the prayer was gone......

At the other end of the street, Qi Yu stood in the center with his hands crossed on his hips, and sighed wordlessly: "I really can't stand it, I didn't pay attention for a while, and I got lost, that pair of sisters and brothers are really worrying, speaking of which, how to go back to the place where we live?" Thinking for a while, suddenly the girl suddenly clapped her hands on her chest, "I see, it's not them who are lost, but me! Haha, it's really terrible, I feel strange from just now, what are the people over there doing?" In front of me, people gathered together, as if waiting for something.

Qi Yu immediately forgot the fact that she was still lost, and squeezed in lightly, and anyone who wanted to block this little girl would eventually find themselves pushed away by a huge force, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Yu had squeezed to the front, and in front of her was the huge root of the Heavenly Tree, and around the root, people built a three-story stage here.

"Uncle, what are you waiting for here?" Qi Yu turned to a middle-aged man next to him and asked curiously, the other party looked at her in surprise, as if he was surprised to ask this question, but finally replied enthusiastically: "Everyone is waiting for Lord Geji to appear." "Singer?" vaguely remembered that Bai Ye seemed to have mentioned it to himself, but his impression was not very deep.

"Are you a traveler from outside?"

"Hmm. ”

"So, please enjoy the night festival in a few days, and then you will understand the greatness of Singer-sama. The man with a strong tone of worship stopped explaining the prayer, and the audience suddenly fell silent, and just as the prayer was incomprehensible, the earth-shattering cheers erupted, like a huge wave sweeping through the city, one after another.

A team of heavily armed soldiers was walking towards the stage, and in the center of the procession, the six tallest soldiers carried a delicate sedan chair, and the person sitting in it should be the singer, Qi Yu thought silently.

"It's the sedan chair of the singer-sama!" "The singer-sama, please grant us happiness!" "Long live the singer-sama!" Although there was an amazing cheer, no one rushed forward rashly, and there was no need for the soldiers to maintain order, and all the people of Tianyuan City consciously worshiped the people in the sedan chair.

This is Celestial Castle, a city that has been given life and a future by the singer.

"I've heard it all the time, but when I see it with my own eyes, I still feel terrible. Bai Ye and Bai Ruoyan, who came to look for prayers, stood outside the crowd, looking at the crazy and adoring expressions of the dense crowd, and they both felt a little chill down their backs.

"This kind of place, I hope that the woman won't make any trouble, this is not the lawlessness of Demon Bone Town...... Huh?" Bai Ye, who was searching for the crowd, suddenly wrinkled his brows, "What's wrong, Xiaobai?" "Something is wrong...... grabbed Bai Ruoyan's hand, ignoring his sister's shy expression, Bai Ye quietly held the hilt of the sword with his other hand, "It seems that someone with other intentions has blended into the crowd, and it is professional...... Assassin. "Hey, is it going to assassinate the singer?" Bai Ruoyan immediately looked around nervously, but in her eyes, there was almost no suspicious person.

"Wouldn't it be too crazy to assassinate that spiritual leader in this city, looking at the posture in front of you, every citizen of Tianyuan City will exchange their lives for the safety of Geji. ”

"That's right, it's almost impossible to assassinate Singer in this city, because everyone will be her shield, but ...... There are many ways to kill. Bai Ye's voice was quickly muffled by a wave of cheers, and from a distance, a woman walked down from the sedan chair that stopped, her tall figure was covered by a long skirt that was dragged to the ground, and her long black hair was carefully combed into a bun and coiled on top of her head.

"The woman...... Isn't it the one in the rice field outside the city?" Thinking of the silhouette that flashed when he entered the city, Bai Ye subconsciously blurted out, "No, it shouldn't be a person...... "How could the singer who is high in Tianyuan City go outside the city alone, not to mention that the two have completely different eyes, compared to the sad gaze of the girl in the rice field, the singer in front of him has pride and beauty, like the dazzling scorching sun, illuminating the city and burning people's souls.

Not far from the stage of the singer, there is a clean restaurant, and in the box by the window on the second floor, four or five people gathered, quiet without saying a word, the only thing that can be heard is the cheers that keep floating from outside.

"She's such a popular girl, Singer. At the round table, there was only one person sitting, and his whole body was well hidden in the dark.

"But the more popular you are, the heavier the responsibility, and once you die, the city is hopeless, right?" staccato laughter echoed through the room, while the people standing just lowered their heads, waiting for orders.

"Chief, at the hotel on West Street, our people found Miss Ling, do you need to recycle it?" The man known as the chief asked casually, "There are three women and two men, and their strength should not be very good, and four guys have left the hotel and gone shopping, and our people are watching." "Then, when you are in action, let's clean them up by the way, and then go to welcome Miss Ling, let's act...... May you all be prosperous. Raising the glass above his head, the leader gave the order in a cheerful tone, and then there was only one person left in the room to drink alone.

Ryokan autumn leaves.

Yun Yi was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling boredly, while Shen Wuling on the other side was lying by the window, looking at the street outside with great interest.

"If you're curious, I'll go out with them just now. After hearing Yun Yi's casual tone, Shen Wuling's cheeks flushed slightly, and she carefully retracted her head from the window, "This will be too troublesome for everyone, and besides, my body doesn't allow me to go out at will." "I've wanted to ask before, your physical weakness has long been beyond the scope of ordinary people, but you can still live, which makes me a little curious. Yun Yi, who had turned up from the bed, turned the pipe, looking casual and asking, but full of clear tentative purpose.

"You're right, Yunyi, from the day I was born, I was declared unable to live past the age of ten, but my father was unwilling to accept this fact, he wanted to rebel, and for this reason, he used the power of the family to go around looking for doctors, medicines, and finally, through special means, so that my life could be extended. His hands subconsciously pressed on his undulating chest, and Shen Wuling said with a complicated expression.

"Is that a means that you can't sue me?" The means that can keep Shen Wuling alive should be with the help of some power, and Yun Yi knows that he is close to the answer.

"That's a family secret, I'm sorry, if I let you know, it will hurt you......" Shen Wuling's apologetic smile made Yun Yi swallow the rebuttal words on his lips again, "Forget it, I'm not very interested in your gossip, but...... Even if I don't want to know, it's too late, and someone doesn't plan to let me go. ”

The door of the "bang" room was shattered by a huge force, and the shattered sawdust flew in the direction of Shen Wuling, and Yun Yi had already jumped up in an instant, "Are you looking for me to fight? With extreme cold contempt, Yun Yi's back spread huge steel wings, and that was the beginning of the performance of the Life Harvest Song!

At the same time, next to the crowded stage, a middle-aged man in a luxurious purple silk robe came to the position closest to the singer, and behind the man, there were several martial arts cultivators who were not weak.

He is Lu Yuan, the city lord of the generation of Tianyuan City.

"City Lord. The captain of the soldier who was in charge of protecting the singer walked up to him with a powerful step and gave a standard military salute.

"Chen Tong, is Lord Geji in a good mood today?" Lu Yuan's face had a kind smile, giving people a comfortable sense of closeness.

"It seems to be not bad, after all, it is one of the few days when you can leave the ashram, but the information from the other days ago, is it true?" Chen Tong remembered the news he got not long ago, someone was going to assassinate the singer at the Divine Night Festival, destroying the spiritual pillar of Tianyuan City in one fell swoop.

"Until now, it has not been determined whether it is true or not. Speaking of this, Lu Yuan looked at the girl standing at the top of the stage with a worried face, she was accepting the worship and prayers of the people, "Be careful, and it is precisely because of this that I have recruited many wandering martial cultivators to come as military support." The murderous martial cultivators behind Lu Yuan were almost all provoking Chen Tong, they were not used to looking down on soldiers in battle armor, and Chen Tong and the soldiers also looked down on this group of martial artists who sold their souls for money.

"Hopefully, when something happens, they can really come in handy, City Lord. After speaking, Lu Yuan walked away and returned to the stage to make defensive deployments.

Before the festival, the singer performs four consecutive days of open-air singing, until the last day of the festival begins, ending with the perfect singing voice to wish the city a smooth new year.

And the singer who has been protected in the inner city of the Heavenly Tree all the year round, the only chance she will be attacked is these few days.

During the Night Festival of the Gods, Tianyuan City is almost open to the outside world, this is the rule set by the first generation of singers, because she is not afraid of the assassination of others, in front of her singing, even the most vicious killer will be moved, and finally give up the killing intent, this rule, has been continued to the present, has not changed.

Today, however, history has finally changed, and the first confusion is the closest row of spectators to the stage, where three athletic men burst out of the crowd without warning and burst into the circle of soldiers.

Afterwards.

The blood flower filled everyone's sight.
