Chapter 1722 - Strange
"I wonder which senior patronized my city?" As soon as the dialect finished speaking, a voice of inquiry sounded below, and then a sound of breaking wind was heard, and a figure flew up from a luxurious building in the center of the city, appearing in front of them with a respectful attitude.
The person who came was an old man with a red face, the strength of the middle stage of the True Realm. This strength is already very strong for this city.
Fang Yan glanced at him and asked lightly, "You are the city lord of this city?" ”
"Exactly down there." The red-faced old man looked a little apprehensive. After all, Ziling on the side is the existence of the True Spirit Realm, and it would be strange if he didn't feel apprehensive in his heart.
"We want to take a break here." Fang Yan's body moved, and he actually fell directly towards the luxurious compound below.
The red-faced old man's face changed, and he hurriedly followed: "The arrival of the two seniors really makes the small town shine." ”
I don't know if it's because he cares about Ziling's strength, he actually called the dialect with similar strength to him as a senior, and he put his posture in a very low position very wisely.
"Two seniors, please here, there is a room here, there is good wine and good food." The red-faced old man led the two to the side room.
"There's no hurry." Fang Yan waved his hand, then looked around.
The red-faced old man stood aside with some uneasiness, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Since we're already here, we won't hide it from you, I heard that someone from the Star Palace came here two days ago?" Fang Yan didn't find the breath of the Star Palace envoy, and asked directly.
Star ...... Star Palace? The red-faced old man's face changed significantly, and he didn't feel a little trembling when he spoke, and said carefully: "I don't know who the two are?" ”
"We have some festivals with the Star Palace, and we are chasing those two people." Fang Yan looked at him and asked, "Where are those two?" ”
The red-faced old man glanced at him and said, "Don't dare to deceive the two seniors, those two have already left." ”
"Leave?" Fang Yan's eyes were cold, "I've been guarding outside for two days, how can I not know that they are leaving?" ”
The red-faced old man's tone froze, and he immediately replied: "Maybe they stole away, you didn't ......"
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly permeated from the side. The red-faced old man snorted before he finished speaking, and fell directly to the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans on his face instantly appeared, obviously suffering great pain.
"Give you another chance, hand those two over, or you know what will happen to you."
"Senior...... Spare your life, those two...... Right in my prison cell, I ...... I'll be able to bring two of them right away...... Head for! The red-faced old man gritted his teeth, and his already red face was even more enchanting as if it was congested with blood.
Ziling stared at him for a moment, his mind moved slightly, and the aura pressing on him dissipated instantly.
"Why lie to us?" Fang Yan asked coldly.
The red-faced old man sat down on the ground weakly, and immediately stood up again, and said uneasily, "Because I don't know who you are." ”
"It's not a convincing reason."
"Two seniors, do you really have a holiday with the Star Palace?"
Fang Yan's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't bother to ask anything more, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Take me to meet them!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Where did the red-faced old man dare to refuse, and responded: "Two seniors, please come with me." ”
With that, he turned and walked towards the room at the end of the wing.
Fang Yan and Ziling glanced at each other and followed unhurriedly. This person is only the strength of the True Realm, and they are naturally not afraid of what tricks he will play. The only thing that made them feel a little strange was that he would actually deceive them, and he actually told them that the people from the Star Palace were gone, which was a bit wrong.
Entering the room, a staircase leading to the ground floor appeared. The red-faced old man motioned for the two to go down.
Fang Yan was a little surprised, and there was something else here, and said: "Lead the way ahead." ”
The red-faced old man didn't dare to refuse, and took the lead to go down.
"You're waiting for me up there." Fang Yan turned around and said to Ziling, and followed.
Ziling sniffed in mid-air and seemed to want to follow, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea and stood aside boringly. With her strength, if someone who threatened her appeared within a radius of several miles, she would definitely notice it as soon as possible.
Descending the stairs, there was a dungeon with a small area, and as far as the dialect could see, there were as many as four or five stone chambers, and a faint smell of medicine filled his nostrils, which should have stored the treasures of the red-faced old man or medicinal herbs or something. At this point, he seemed to understand why he was deceiving himself.
Something here must be extremely important to him, and he certainly doesn't want them to know. If they hadn't threatened with his life just now, he probably wouldn't have brought them here.
"Those two are inside." Looking around at Fang Yan, a look of panic flashed in the red-faced old man's eyes, and he hurriedly pointed to a nearby stone room to distract him.
"Are you still alive?" Fang Yan asked.
"Alive, I dare not kill them." The red-faced old man replied.
"What are they doing here?" Tongues asked knowingly.
The red-faced old man didn't hide it this time: "They want this city to accept the new rules they have made. ”
"If you refuse, why do you want to control them?" Fang Yan looked at him a little puzzled, "You're not afraid of Star Palace's revenge?" ”
The red-faced old man looked at him deeply and said, "If I let them go, they will most likely come to take revenge on me, and there are already many such rumors outside. ”
"What rumors?"
The red-faced old man said: "For cities that do not implement the new rules, the Star Palace Leaving Sect will try their best to replace the original city lord. ”
"You let them go for fear that they would retaliate? Kill them, do you think they won't come to get revenge on you? Fang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your reason is full of flaws." ”
The red-faced old man's gaze was a little evasive, and he said, "There are many people sent out by the Star Palace Leaving Sect at the same time, and they don't necessarily know that these two people have come here. If you don't let them leave, it might be safer here. ”
Fang Yan looked at him in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't continue to ask, and said, "Open the stone room first, and I'll look at the people." ”
"Yes." The red-faced old man stretched out his hand and pressed it next to the stone room, and the stone door slowly moved.
Two young men dressed in uniform appeared in his line of sight. The two of them sat motionless, not even looking up at the sound they heard, not even opening their eyes to look at them. However, it can also be seen from their pale faces that there should be something wrong with their current state.
