Chapter Ninety-Seven: Greed Without a Heart Volume: Act III

Act Three: The Invasion of All Things]

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that you had such a big deal of resistance to this."

Bai Yutang turned around and walked towards the center stand in the narrow corridor.

Nagawa Kaede and Tachibana Junichi slowly followed him, and the narrow corridor was brightly lit, like an escape passage left behind when the city was built.

"It's okay......" Chang Yufeng looked at Bai Yutang in the light veil and turned back, Bai Gongzi's apology was naturally sincere, there was nothing to doubt about it, getting along from Crescent Bay, although Bai Yutang had a strong purpose, but it was not annoying.

"I'm really sorry."

Bai Yutang apologized again, his fan was gently lined up on his right leg, as if blaming himself, he didn't stop, this road doesn't need to look at the road, just keep walking, there is no detour to go.

"You don't have to blame yourself, I just think this is too child's play, and I don't think anyone can lead the team to kill the Great Demon King on the first day."

Chang Yu Feng showed absolute disgust for such a ridiculous thing as the five major families bringing their own strategists to conduct a secret annihilation competition, which was also the reason why Bai Yutang apologized, because Bai Yutang felt a little like pulling people into troubled waters.

"Chen Wang Li Ningbai, the people of the five major families, also only sent important people here, although they said that they were invited, but in fact they came spontaneously, the eyes and ears of the five major families are all over the entire empire, this is also a recognized thing, our Bai family got the news that the Great Demon King will appear in Longzhong City on the first day, because Longzhong City appeared in the heart stone she left in ancient times." Bai Yutang turned around again and walked quickly in the corridor.

"That'...... Is it true? Junichi Tachibana looked at Changyu Feng's back, and couldn't see Bai Yutang's back at all.

"No, it's only half right......" Bai Yutang opened his fan.

"In that circulating story, Xu Jiaqing played a great role, and even made a direct promise to trade with the Great Demon King on the first day, which is not right, the Great Demon King didn't take Xu Jiaqing in his eyes at all on the first day, and Xu Jiaqing only restrained the Great Demon King on the first day and destroyed the entire Longzhong City because of one thing in his hand." Bai Yutang's purple eyes were so bright.

"Heartstone? Xu Jiaqing has the heart stone of the Great Demon King on the first day! Then, he can simply ascend to the sky in one step! Junichi Tachibana was shocked.

"Theoretically speaking, this is the case, but in fact I haven't gotten the real exact details, I can only tell you that this time the five major families joined together to kill the Great Demon King on the first day and it had nothing to do with Xu Jiaqing at all...... In other words, there is only a superficial invitation relationship. ”

Bai Yutang walked very quickly, and the two of them followed very closely.

"In other words, Xu Jiaqing held a banquet of heroes, did he really want to gather people who believed in this matter, come here, and help him?" Chang Yu Feng was still looking at Bai Yutang's back, Chang Yu Feng was wearing black, and the light seemed to be shining on Bai Yutang's body and on his body, making him still much brighter.

"This ...... I can't guess what he meant...... Because he was about to die, and as a dying man, anything he did I could consider real...... Because they're too late to deceive. Bai Yutang didn't answer Chang Yufeng directly, for Xu Jiaqing, a person he had never seen, Chang Yufeng only knew about him when he arrived in Longzhong City, if it wasn't for this matter, maybe he wouldn't know who Xu Jiaqing was at all.

"I have a question...... "Junichi Tachibana raised her right hand as if she wanted to speak, but she walked behind, no one could see it, and she didn't care, she just said: "Why did you choose the two of us as your advisors?"

"Because...... I think you guys are very special......" Bai Yutang's voice was very soft, and at this time, he glanced back: "Well, it's very special."

"What do you mean?" Junichi Tachibana squinted one eye, but could only see the wide back of Nagawa Kaede.

"Oh, it's intuition...... I was thinking, I just need to find someone to deal with my old man...... This kind of life-giving thing, even if our Bai family doesn't kill the Great Demon King on the first day, it won't shake our family's status in [Nanyou] at all. The Bai family sent me here to make a handover, so I didn't let them fall into jokes. Bai Yutang said freely, and Chang Yufeng listened carefully.

[Nanyou Zhengusen] is the place where the Bai family is in charge, and listening to the name also makes people afraid of three points, that is, other families want to suppress the prestige of the Bai family, and it is difficult to get the real handle, because the place guarded by the Bai family is [Nanyou], which is close to the elf kingdom, here are originally two forests, demarcated by a stretching and curved [Bone Seeking River], in the elf kingdom this river is called [Hulansha River], which means a river that cannot be crossed.

Therefore, according to Bai Yutang's meaning, he just went to pretend to be and ran away after taking a turn in front of Lan Luo under Bai Yutang's command.

Although he didn't say the real reason, Chang Yu Feng could only see it as some kind of arrangement by someone.

I knew that the clothes I was wearing still had the mark of Bai Lingshan, because I was in a hurry, and I didn't think about buying a few more clothes, although the current clothes couldn't be seen to be the clothes of the young master of Bai Ling, but it could also be clearly seen that I was wearing the clothes of Bai Lingshan.

The shrewd Bai Yutang could also say the past just by relying on this reason, but he avoided this question instead.

got on the thief ship, but he wouldn't turn his face, without Bai Yutang, he might not really be able to get in. Not to mention that his own problems will be considered as spies of the principality, that is, the blockade of Crescent Bay, if you don't tear your face, you can't get out at all, and the earth-shattering conspiracy of the five major families is going on quietly in the city.

It's like the center of the storm, and if you don't thank Bai Yutang, you can't say it. Where else can I blame him?

More and more, Nagawa Kaede could feel that he had changed from fighting against all the definite enemies before to being vague, struggling with enemies that he couldn't deflate at all.

Lan Luo's good and bad in his heart seemed to change again and again, changing the method to let him know something, everything was walking on thin ice, and he couldn't help but follow up.

It is true that he can go to sleep and get rid of the Shadow of the Wilderness, and all the steps seem to be really in his hands, but in fact, he has no way to take every step for himself.

Of course, he can give up halfway, at most he will lose someone, relying on his life experience, he is the next master of Bailing Mountain, so majestic, why should he suffer so much with his own will.

He couldn't pick up Bai Yutang's words on his family's analysis of power, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't speak for a long time.

But Bai Yutang said to himself in order to break the embarrassment: "How do you say it...... Actually, our Bai family has a little bit of numerology skills, I think you can help me, it must be calculated, I don't want to tell you this, because this kind of thing will make you think I'm fooling you. Bai Yutang paused, stepped away with his right foot, and continued walking: "You two, if you can really destroy the Great Demon King on the first day, I don't think it's a problem, right, if you can't, just go through the motions."

Junichi Tachibana shook his head violently.

"Hmm...... Still don't understand. ”

"So, when will it start?" Chang Yu Feng interrupted the rest of the conversation, he didn't need to listen to Bai Yutang continue to say another reason.

"Do you mean to destroy the Great Demon King on the first day?"

"Hmm. Is it already started now, or is it playing in order like a real game? ”

"Oh, this...... The five major families must be famous, and the destruction of the Great Demon King cannot be strictly treated according to the competition, so they have set up a larger magic circle under Longzhong City, and the magic circle covers the entire Zhongqing City in Longzhong City. ”

"You're just going to do this for the past few days with a curfew?" Tachibana Junichi didn't ask for the opposite answer, anyway, if Bai Yutang said it, it would be true.

"The Bai family sent me here, so it must not have been done by me, it was done by other families, it can also be said that it was Li Lusheng of the Li family who led the Fuzhen Division to do it. As soon as Li Lusheng took office, he copied Xu Jiaqing's home as a collaborator with the enemy and treason, and now Shanglong Street has been assigned to the name of the Li family. Oh, by the way, when the time comes, you will be my advisors, you don't need to answer anyone who asks, like this level of the five major families gathered, the infighting is also very strong, although our hearts are towards the empire, but we are still very much like little resentful women competing for favor, you see the strategists of other families, you don't need to panic, let alone lower your status and be submissive, you are my people, you don't need to pay attention to their orders at all. Of course, I'm sure you won't get me in trouble. ”

Bai Yutang wanted to continue, but suddenly there was a rumble in the secret passage, and the ground shook violently.

The three of them were holding on to the wall, and the wall debris fell on them.

"What's going on up there?" Junichi Tachibana patted the wall scraps behind Nagaha's maple.

"This is the sound of the arrangement of the magic circle, it is estimated that when we arrive, we will start to destroy the first one, the first one is the Li family, led by Li Ruyue and Miss Li, in the magic circle, the first day the Great Demon King will be unconditionally restricted by the magic circle in Zhongqing City, at that time, Li Lusheng is basically ready."

"No, I'd like to ask, if the five major families all work together, won't they have a greater chance of defeating the Great Demon King on the first day? That would reduce casualties as much as possible...... That makes me feel stupid...... I'm not saying how your five major families are, I can't afford to mess with them, I just think ...... Not so good...... It would be nice for everyone to work together. The first day of the Great Demon King was so dangerous, wasn't it? ”

Junichi Tachibana patted Changyu Kaede's shoulder and helped him pat off the falling wall ash.

"Hmm...... If only things were that simple......" Bai Yutang kept staring at the light of the exit, and was almost at the exit of the secret passage on Sheung Long Street.

"You think that Xu Jiaqing summoned everyone to destroy the Great Demon King on the first day, and now everyone in Crescent Bay is for the First Day Great Demon King, whether it is blood or flesh on her body, they are all going to be snatched and eaten, if you understand this, you won't feel strange."

Bai Yutang said eloquently, and Junichi Tachibana seemed to say something, but he didn't hear it clearly.

Chang Yufeng coughed, choked on the wall debris, and didn't speak.

"So...... For us, the death of the Great Demon King on the first day is not important, what matters is whose hands he died, the five major families are all prosperous and lossy, but on key issues, there will definitely be no ambiguity. Bai Yutang looked at the crack in the secret passage, and the crack opened at the exit, which made him frown: "The five major families are not allowed to marry and have more contact, but the relationship between the Chen family is different, where the young lady of the Chen family marries, it means that where the situation is weak, just a hundred years ago, he made a marriage contract with the Ning family, which shows that no one of the five major families can have an absolutely weak party, otherwise he will want to unite other families, which is what the saint does not want to see, and all family history, The five major families gathered in Longzhong City are all fighting for peace. ”

"That's not right...... You've said so much...... Isn't the Ning family still weak? Who did they send? Tachibana Junichi looked at the silent Changyu Kaede, but his heart was anxious for him, this man didn't seem to want to enter into this kind of dispute, or even understand it.

"The Ning family...... sent a side ...... Seriously, except for the orthodox young master of Bailing Mountain, there is no known orthodox bloodline, so, if possible, the marriage between the eldest princess and the young master of Bailing will be advanced, no matter how old they are, I remember that the eldest princess is only eighteen years old now, and the young master of Bailing was born a hundred years ago, but it was sealed by Huazhou, if you really want to count it, it will be ...... The look of an eight-year-old. ”

Bai Yutang answered Junichi Tachibana's question.

"Seals?" Chang Yu Feng frowned suspiciously, and only then did he speak, he looked at the back of Bai Yutang's head, Bai Yutang's hosta was so bright, exactly the same as the light that came out of his body.

"Hmm...... This is actually hard to say, the Ning family is an orthodox bloodline...... I heard that he returned to Bailing Mountain in three or four years, or five or six years ago, not an eight-year-old appearance, but a young appearance, now that I think about it, it will be in contrast to the marriage of the eldest princess, people are not as good as heaven, and no one knows how to deal with it. "Bai Yutang went out of the secret passage, and the secret passage led to a very bright place.

According to the curfew of the past few days, Shanglong Street should not be so bright, but at this time, the lights are bright, and everyone should have withdrawn to Crescent Bay, it seems that it is indeed as Bai Yutang said, the people of the five major families are here.

The three of them slowly walked up the stairs to the light, Bai Yutang patted his body, and with a wave of his hand, the purple spiritual power seemed to wash the clothes of the three of them, cleaning them up.

"Hah...... That's interesting...... It is also not known when they will get married. If the eldest princess marries Bai Lingshan far away, then this young master of Bailing Mountain will not be happy to tremble? Right? Ning Feng? Tachibana Chunyi patted Chang Yu Feng's waist, Chang Yu Feng shook his head, and followed Bai Yutang up the steps.

"Your name is very similar to the young master of Bai Ling, but the young master of Bai Ling follows his motherhood and is named Changyu Feng, which is quite exquisite." Bai Yutang patted his sleeve and immediately put his right hand behind his back and behind his waist.

He looked dignified, his chest straight, and walked up, quite formally, and he looked at the light from the red lantern in front of him, and the purple light in his eyes became more vigorous.

Changyu Feng also put his hands behind his back, step by step.

As a testimony to this absurdity, Chang Yufeng's complicated feelings are difficult to express, and the beginning of this absurdity is so difficult to let go.

He wanted to sigh, but he could only listen to everything Bai Yutang said, and the feeling of helplessness was like forcing a tiger down the mountain, unimaginable.

This Longzhong City...... I didn't let myself feel even a little bit of peace of mind.
