Chapter 40: Before running away, Huiyue City has become an empty city

Han Wu jumped out of the window. Before leaving, don't forget to drink the only cup of tea left in the room.

Chen Yuan did not agree to Han Wu's request, but he did not refuse either.

Escorting the imperial capital back to the imperial capital is by no means an easy task, and it will not be as simple as what you see in front of you. There's always a conspiracy behind it, and it seems that someone is controlling everything.

Chen Yuan is not the kind of person who passively endures, although he has been involved in worldly disputes, he also has to fight for his own best interests.

If one day, the Great Qi Dynasty really undergoes a big change, survival is the most important.

Whether it is the fate of the dynasty or the Nine Dragons Jade Seal, it has nothing to do with him. I won't work hard for something that is irrelevant.

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks the same as Chen Yuan, the vast majority of monks have self-interest, after all, they have become monks, and they have basically escaped from the mortal world, but the current level is too low, and they can't completely break away from the mortal world.

Once they reach the foundation building stage, even if they are at the peak of Qi refining like the Blood God Son, they will no longer have anything to do with mortal dust.

Another thing that bound Chen Yuan and other low-level cultivators was that the temptation given by the Nine Emperor Princes was too great, so they had to obey the arrangement. Even as a mortal, a figure like the Nine Emperor Princes had a way to control a monk who was stronger than him.

After all, monks are also human beings, not real immortals.

For the sake of temptation, or in order to get rid of the shackles of mortal mortals, there will definitely be many low-level monks involved in this dispute of imperial power among mortal mortals.

If Chen Yuan wants to protect himself, he must prepare for the worst.

There are a lot of magic weapons on his body, whether they are medium or low-grade, they are close to ten, and there is no need to upgrade with the Yin Yang Ding in a short time, and what he lacks most now is a flying magic weapon, or a rapid body method.

The escort trip is full of danger, and if you can't beat it, you can use a flying magic weapon to escape.

Huiyue City, as a city bigger than the dust, has the Nine Emperor Princes in charge, and there are naturally many ordinary shops and monk shops in the city, and there are naturally semicolons for merchants like Shendantang.

The Nine Emperor Princes said that after three days, someone would take the initiative to come to him and discuss the matter of escorting him to the distance, but Chen Yuan had been practicing in the inn for a month, and he didn't see anyone, only Han Wu took the initiative to come a few times.

Opening his eyes and waking up from his cultivation, Chen Yuan planned to go to the Fang Market in the city to have a look.

The monk's Fang Market is generally separated from the commercial streets of Mortal Dust, and Chen Yuan walked slowly all the way, and finally found a "Ma Liufang City" in the southeast corner of Huiyue City.

Luochen County has a small immortal cultivation clan like the Guo family, and Huiyue City naturally has it, and there are three families, namely, the Ma family, the Liu family and the Zhang family.

Chen Yuan didn't know about the power situation in Huiyue City, and he only wanted to buy a useful flying magic weapon or body magic cheat now.

Walking into Maliufang City, there is no imaginary prosperity, not even as good as the black market of Kangle City, with few vendors and few pedestrians, and everyone's face reveals uneasiness.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and the strange atmosphere made Chen Yuan reluctant to stay too long, and walked directly to a small shop selling magic weapons.

"All items in our store are half price. What do you want objectively? ”

The second junior in the shop was a minor monk on the second floor of Qi refining, and when Chen Yuan walked in, he was cleaning up the few remaining items in the shop.

"Do you have a flying magic weapon?" Chen Yuan spoke directly.

"Nope. Now that Huiyue City is so uneasy, all the magic talismans that can help you run away have already been sold out. The guest officer should go and see other places. ”

Xiao Er didn't look at Chen Yuan, and packed up the items in his hand by himself, looking very impatient.

Chen Yuan went to three or five other shops, and the answers he got were almost identical.

The market that should be crowded has few people. The shopkeeper was so impatient that all the magic talismans related to escape and flight were swept away. This made Chen Yuan realize that things might have developed beyond his expectations.

It's no longer safe to return to Moon City, and you must leave immediately.

Unable to buy a flying magic weapon, Chen Yuan could only temporarily go to look for Han Wu, and what happened in the past month back to Moon City may only be known to him.

After meeting Chen Yuan several times, Han Wu said that if he wanted to find him, he could go to the City God Temple outside the city.

After leaving Fang City, Chen Yuan noticed that the streets of Huiyue City today had completely changed from when he first came.

There are no more martial arts warriors with swords and swords, no more hurried monks, and not even ordinary mortals. All of them looked flustered, their faces were haggard, and there were even quite a few people, stained with blood, as if they had just experienced a big battle.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

The pace of his feet inevitably accelerated.

Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city, a dilapidated temple where many homeless beggars live.

When Chen Yuan appeared in the ruined temple, several children in ragged clothes were fighting for a roast chicken in Han Wu's hand.

Seeing Chen Yuan appear, after Han Wu threw the roast chicken in his hand to a thin girl, he came to Chen Yuan's side with a smile and said:

Chen Daoyou figured it out. Want to walk this escort path with you? ”

"You know, I want to know something. Please also ask Han Daoyou to tell the truth. "The development of things is too sudden, and Chen Yuan must figure out the ins and outs of the matter before he can make a final plan.

"Actually, it's very simple, everything is related to the Nine Dragons Jade Seal."

Han Wu waved his hand, and the child who snatched the roast chicken went away very consciously.

The Nine Dragons Jade Seal symbolizes imperial power and status. The nine princes of the Great Qi Dynasty all wanted it.

Half a year ago, the Nine Emperor Princes got the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. The other eight princes naturally wanted to rob it, so there was a matter of the Nine Emperors looking for someone to escort the heavy weapon.

Once the Nine Dragons Jade Seal successfully reached the Imperial City, the Nine Emperor Princes were able to rely on the Jade Seal and successfully ascend to the throne.

In order to protect the Nine Dragons Jade Seal, the Nine Emperor Princes found the Luoxia Sect, the Sun Moon Gate and other monk sects, with only one purpose, that is, to successfully escort the Nine Dragons Jade Seal back to the Imperial City.

And the crown prince who competed the most with the Nine Emperor Princes also found a lot of sects to help each other, among which the most powerful and powerful was the Yin Sha Sect, I heard that there were not only strong people in the Yin Sha Sect in the foundation building period, but even a strong man in the Yu Dan period who had been in retreat for half a year.

There are famous and decent families in the world, but naturally there are also evil and crooked ways.

And the Yin Demon Sect is a good Demon Dao Sect in the Great Qi Dynasty, which is more than a star and a half stronger than the vulnerable Heavenly Demon Sect.

The reason why Huiyue City has become the way people go to the empty building now is completely because the Nine Emperor Princes have left, and the Snow Dart Bureau has also set off in a majestic manner.

"Now that the people of the Nine Emperor Princes have left. The city should be calm again. Why is it that everyone is panicking, as if a catastrophe is coming? ”

Chen Yuan asked puzzled.

"It's still because of the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. The eldest prince suspected that the Nine Emperors did not bring the Nine Dragons Jade Seal with him, nor did he let the Snow Dart Bureau escort him, but put it on the body of a loose cultivator in the city. If they want the jade seal, they naturally have to start from the scattered cultivation in the city. ”

There are not a few fools in the world, and the Nine Emperor Princes have made a few pretenses for the jade seal. If the eldest prince wants the jade seal, he must break all the pretenses, and finally determine where the jade seal is.

"In this way, won't we become cannon fodder for the Nine Emperor Princes to defend against the Great Prince?"

After listening to Han Wu's narration for a while, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his back, originally thinking that after agreeing to the request of the Nine Emperor Princes, he could be safer, but he didn't think about him, but he was still put on the table.

It can be said that not only Chen Yuan himself, but almost all the scattered cultivators in Huiyue City have passively become the pawns of the Nine Emperor Princes escorting the jade seal.

This Nine Emperors' mind is so thoughtful that it's simply terrifying. On the surface, he made the world scattered to work for him with a great temptation, but behind his back, it became his stepping stone.

Chen Yuan frowned, he would definitely not be able to stay in Huiyue City. No matter what the strength of the Yin Sha Sect is, what kind of strong person it will send will be, it will be a big crisis for a loose cultivator like himself.

"Han Daoyou seems to have a way to deal with it." Chen Yuan looked at Han Wu, who was always smiling.

"The so-called response is nothing more than water to cover up. If you want to escape the Yin Demon Sect, the only way is to hide. Since the Nine Emperor Princes are going to escort the Jade Seal to the Imperial Capital, we might as well go and help him. The ultimate goal of the Yin Sha Sect is also the Jade Seal, and the ultimate goal is also the Nine Emperor Princes, with a big man like him in front of him, the possibility of us becoming targets will naturally become smaller. ”

"Even if we are targeted by the Yin Demon Sect, as long as we keep up with the team of the Nine Emperor Princes, there are almost still those who can save their lives."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan thought that Han Wu's plan was very effective, since he the Nine Emperor Princes regarded them as pawns, it was better to treat him as a pawn to save his life.

For the sake of imperial power, there must be many masters around the Nine Emperor Princes.

"So, let's go now. The Nine Emperor Princes had just set off and could still catch up with him. ”

Saying this, Chen Yuan's gaze suddenly fell on the few beggar children who were snatching chicken legs, Chen Yuan didn't understand why Han Wu, as a monk, was mixing with some beggars.

"If you want to go, you won't be in a hurry for the time being. Before really setting off, it's okay to ask Chen Daoyou for a small favor. Afterwards, you might even get a lot of benefits. ”

Han Wu naturally understood Chen Yuan's purpose in looking at those beggars, but he didn't say how to deal with them.

Han Daoyou said that he had something to do. Since I came to you today, I have decided to form a team with you. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Chen Yuan waited for Han Wu's next words.

"There are three major monk families in Huiyue City, namely, the Ma, Liu, and Zhang clans. Although their strength is not very strong, it has been passed down for more than three hundred years. And the reason why they were able to have monks appear for generations was mainly because of a small secret realm. But because no one in the three clans has succeeded in building a foundation for hundreds of years, they can't all open the secret realm. ”

"Recently, the Yin Demon Sect has been abusive, and in order to preserve the foundation of the race, the three major clans plan to open the secret realm, and invite some monks above the third level to explore the secret realm together. What he asked for was nothing else, just to leave a monk foundation for the three clans. ”

What Han Wu said surprised Chen Yuan. At the same time, another doubt forced him to be cautious.
