Chapter 92: Conspiracy
After a few days of getting along, Zi Chen finally realized how naΓ―ve his previous thoughts were, just following others for two days, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal about the other party, he thought he was an ordinary mercenary.
In fact, they are not ordinary at all, except for their appearance.
There were eighteen men here, driven by two carts loaded with unknown goods, and a carriage in which there appeared to be a sick man and a bearded man looking after him.
The bearded man has a rough appearance, he is the hired person of these people, he looks very fierce, with a fat head and big ears, and a fierce face, and the coughing sound of the old man can be heard in the carriage from time to time, according to what the bearded man said, they are going to Yunxia City to see a doctor.
But is there anyone who took fifteen innate powerhouses and three True Yuan Realm powerhouses to see a doctor? Not to mention that the bearded man can hire them, he can't be an ordinary person, and his strength Zi Chen can't see through it.
Everyone treats Zi Chen quite well, eating and drinking, managing meat and wine, he doesn't have to do anything, and occasionally one or two people are idle and chatting with him.
The eighteen people were all ordinary in appearance and not at all conspicuous, but Zi Chen never dared to be careless.
"Why hasn't this old nine come back yet?"
"It's been more than ten days, and it stands to reason that I should have come back a long time ago. β
In the past few days, Zi Chen has always heard such discussions, but he doesn't care.
In the evening, the sun set, red clouds appeared on the horizon, everyone stopped, for several days, the only place that made Zi Chen dissatisfied was that their speed was too slow, the people of the Wu Sect could chase after them at any time, and their speed was so slow, Zi Chen was very anxious, but now, he couldn't run if he wanted to.
"Boy, eat. β
The bonfire was raised, and the barbecue, dressed on bamboo sticks, had turned golden brown, and the grease fell on the bonfire with a crackling sound.
What makes Zi Chen extremely dissatisfied is the speed, what makes him most satisfied is the food, the barbecue is a very thin guy, the heat is in place, and there is a strong barbecue aroma from a long distance, Zi Chen eats every day, and he doesn't feel tired.
"This ...... A few seniors, I don't know what is the matter with you going to Yunxia City?" Everyone was eating in silence, and Zi Chen suddenly said this.
No one paid attention to him, and no one even looked at him.
"Didn't I tell you everything?" said the bearded man's gruff voice.
Zi Chen smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, by the way, Yunxia City is said to be the people of the Seven Main Cities, and the area is very large, so there should be a lot of strong people there." β
The conversation box opened, and the middle-aged man of the True Yuan Realm, who often chatted with Zi Chen, said: "Of course there are many, countless, the True Qi Realm is like cannon fodder there." β
"That's a lot of genius?"
The middle-aged man forgot about Zi Chen, and said with a faint smile: "If you think you are a genius, then there are at least 100,000 geniuses like you in Yunxia City." β
Zi Chen gasped, the middle-aged man meant, there are at least 100,000 True Qi tenth-layer existences in Yunxia City at his age.
"So many geniuses?" Zi Chen was taken aback.
"Poof!" But as soon as he finished speaking, several people squirted out what they had eaten.
looked at Zi Chen one by one like looking at a monster, and said with a smile: "Boy, you don't really think of yourself as a genius, right?" β
"Isn't it?" Zi Chen asked rhetorically. During this period of time, they never asked Zi Chen's name, nor did they ask where Zi Chen came from.
"It's bullshit. One of them said unceremoniously: "With your kind of character, you dare to call yourself a genius, the real genius of Yunxia City can scare you to death." β
Not to be outdone, Zi Chen said, "How powerful are they, at my age, I don't believe that they can reach the True Yuan Realm?"
Zi Chen's words attracted all the disdainful glances.
"It's your age, boy, I'll tell you the truth, but don't be scared to death, Yunxia City was talented on the first day, Wang Qiong, when he was nineteen years old, he had already reached the True Yuan Realm, and the next day Wang Xian'er, when he was eighteen and a half years old, he was already in the True Yuan Realm. This person looked at Zi Chen proudly and said, "At your age, twenty-one has not reached the innate realm, you are really a toad who stays in the well, I don't know how high the sky is." β
"What, nineteen-year-old is the True Yuan Realm?" Zi Chen was taken aback, and he didn't care about other people's sarcasm.
If calculated according to the normal age, Zi Chen is already nineteen this year, almost twenty, but he is not yet in the innate realm, but the other party is the true yuan realm.
The gap between the two sides is too huge, almost comparable to heaven and earth.
"No, you're lying. Zi Chen suddenly said: "On the first day, he was only nineteen years old and broke through the True Yuan Realm, and on the second day, he was only eighteen and a half years old, which is even more powerful than the first, why is it the second? β
"Idiot. This person said proudly: "That's because Wang Xian'er is Wang Qiong's own sister, and what is there to compete with his own brother." β
Although Wang Xian'er claimed that she had broken through at the age of nineteen and a half, some well-intentioned people still heard that her potential was even more powerful than her brother's, and she was directly hidden by the city lord Xue. β
"Hidden by the city lord?, is the city lord a man?" Zi Chen suddenly asked.
"What do you want?" everyone looked at Zi Chen with disdain, "The city lord is someone's father. β
Zichen was embarrassed.
The man seemed to be addicted, Zi Chen didn't ask again, he was in an inferiority complex, and the man said: "The brother and sister are very talented and powerful, but they have a weakness, they like to be nosy, they love to fight unevenly, and they have nothing to do when they are full." β
"That's a plus. Zi Chen muttered to himself.
"Such a person, if someone catches the weakness, then .......!" the man gushed, as if to say that he was addicted.
"Old eight, go and see if there is any danger around. Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded, interrupting the man's words.
The eighth child reacted, hurriedly closed his mouth, glared at Zi Chen viciously, and turned to leave.
After the eighth child left, there was silence here, only the crackling sound of the bonfire.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after everyone had eaten, they continued on their way.
"Why hasn't Lao Jiu come back yet?" is the same question again.
"Isn't it that you are addicted to killing and killing, didn't you tell him to hurry up?" said someone else.
Zi Chen was indifferent before, but after hearing the conversation between the two, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, a masked man whose whole body was covered by black clothes.
"Could he be Lao Jiu?" Zi Chen's heart moved.
It's a pity that he didn't look at the true face of the masked man that day, and suddenly Zi Chen looked at their weapons, all of which were swords, and they were very similar to the masked man's weapons.
"Could it be them, they are instructing the masked men to kill the villagers, but for what?" Zi Chen's expression was unnatural.
No one paid attention to Zichen along the way, he was just a passerby, and because no one cared about him, he didn't avoid him when he spoke.
"Nothing will happen to Lao Jiu, right?"
"It's impossible, how can a bunch of ants take Lao Jiu, he must not be big enough, so he wants to make a big fuss. β
Zi Chen was very frightened when he heard this, and there was a fire burning in his heart, but he didn't expect that the masked man would have accomplices, and they were all miserable guys.
Zi Chen's heart is very chaotic, the masked man is in a group with them, and they gather like others, these people are definitely murderous beings, and leaving him to deliver a letter is obviously sending him to death.
He wanted to leave, but he felt terrible, as if a poisonous snake was lurking in the shadows, ready to kill him.
Zi Chen remained silent, watching the changes, ready to leave at any time.
On the second day, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Zi Chen's mind, as if he understood that they were going to do this.
When Lao Ba said half of his words, he was stopped, and what he meant later, after thinking about it for two days, Zi Chen seemed to be able to guess, "Seize this weakness, deliberately find something, and lead them out, you can kill them." β
"Their purpose is the two siblings. Zi Chen's heart shook, these people were so bold, they even dared to move the sons and daughters of the city lord of Yunxia City, they simply ate the courage of the ambitious leopard.
"No, those two brothers and sisters are at least the strength of the True Yuan Realm, and they are recognized geniuses, and their strength is naturally strong, with these miscellaneous fish?" Zi Chen denied this speculation in his heart.
Suddenly, his eyes turned to the carriage. This is an unusual team, everyone has problems, mercenaries are like this, bearded people are like this, but what about the seriously ill one in the carriage?
"Could it be that the one in the carriage is the strongest, far beyond the existence of the True Yuan Realm?" Zi Chen's heart instantly became cold, and he felt a chill in the air he inhaled.
If it is as he guesses, he will definitely die. And in this case, he didn't even dare to run.
"I hope their brothers and sisters don't come out, or it's all over. "This is a carefully calculated conspiracy against the brothers and sisters of the Wang family, once they appear, Zi Chen guesses that it must be a one-hit kill, then when the time comes, he will beat the rabbit with the grass, and by the way, he will bring himself with him.
Zi Chen absentmindedly followed behind a few people.
A few days later, everyone was already approaching Yunxia City, the atmosphere that had been peaceful before seemed much more tense, Zi Chen had no chance to escape in these few days, and he prayed in his heart that the people of the Martial Sect would chase him, but he did not get his wish.
"After passing through this canyon, you will reach Yunxia City. The middle-aged man rarely explained to Zi Chen.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and everyone walked towards the canyon.
There are steep canyons on both sides of the valley, but they are very spacious, not afraid of the attack of rolling rocks above, the canyon is deep and silent, the breeze in the air, with a slight chill, everyone walks very slowly, and is also very careful, guarding the surroundings, and when they reach the center of the valley, suddenly a light tremor sounds.
"Buzz!"
The heavens and the earth changed, and the space began to tremble and twist, and then a sword light shattered into the void, rushing towards the crowd with a chill and boundless killing intent.
"Be careful, there is an ambush. The middle-aged man burst into a shout, his body shone brightly, the Yuan Force of the Dao surrounded his body, and a powerful aura erupted, and he raised his hand and shot towards the sword light.
"Boom!"
The sword light was sharp and the killing intent was boundless, but when attacking the middle-aged man, it suddenly exploded, and more than ten long swords shattered in an instant, but there were still more long swords, passing through the middle-aged man and flying towards the rear.
