367 Tragic situation in the capital

With his ears pricked up and his eyes narrowed slightly, after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he whispered to the elders on the periphery.

"It's over!"

The masked boy, who was different from everyone around him, shouted loudly when he felt someone move around him, and his head buzzed with the sound of the explosion.

"Hmm...... It's supposed to be the end!"

Yue Shengying, the elder of 'Mount Emei' who had recovered his five senses and six senses from time to time, noticed the disturbance of the people behind him, and immediately released a wisp of spiritual consciousness to spread outward.

After discovering that the aura at the Taihe Temple Square had disappeared, Yue Shengying slowly exhaled a breath and removed the spiritual power protection around her body.

"What about the 'Haitian Circle'? Where are the people inside gone?"

The masked boy crossed the Italian warrior in front of him, rushed out of the Taihe Hall that had lost the porch in a few steps, and looked at the endless gray field, and a faint sense of foreboding was born in his heart.

"The power just now was too strong, and the elders fought hard to save us, if we were in the center of the explosion, I am afraid that it would be ...... It's a lot of bad luck!"

Situ Wan'er, who was also nervous in her heart, was very surprised that this Marquis of Fanbang was so panicked, but she also answered his question out of politeness.

"No, father, they'll be fine!"

"Frost, slow down...... Wait for me!"

"I'll wait for the first step, and I'll come back later to confess!"

Seeing the little junior sister running out in a panic, the junior brothers also followed out one after another.

As the senior brother of the 'Zhengyi Sect', Zhang Lingxiao endured the worries in his heart, and after bowing to the elders, he also walked to the outside of the Taihe Hall with difficulty with the pain of his body.

"Who are you worried about?"

"Where is the 'Iron Blood Song' Secret Guard?"

Ignoring the moon breeze that quietly asked in a low voice, the masked boy walked down the Taihe Hall and stood on the edge of the giant pit left by the self-explosion of the divine beast Xuanwu.

Suddenly, he pulled out a sharp sword inlaid with a huge ruby in the void, and the long sword with silver glittering throughout emitted an incomparably soft halo, giving people a sense of solemnity.

The masked boy raised his sword and shouted out the most solemn secret army in Italy!

"Whew,,......!"

The sound of gusts of wind whistles sounded one after another, and more than a dozen warriors dressed in plain clothes and soft armor appeared from several vertical jumps in all directions, kneeling on one knee and clenching their right hands with fists lightly hammering their chests.

"Damn! What is the identity of this person, he has his own secret guard at a young age!?"

"What are you focused on...... It's always been so much fun!"

Just when Si Muxing was very surprised by the identity of this man, Situ Wan'er, who was already familiar with everyone, quietly approached and teased the other party with a little disgust.

"You know what's going on?

"That masked boy is half of the military power holders in Italy...... The youngest son of Duke Andrew, the current deputy of the 'Iron and Blood Song' legion, and the contender for the throne of Italy in the future!"

For Si Muxing's curiosity, Situ Wan'er's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she was very arrogant in popularizing the final news.

"So powerful at such a young age! The future is limitless!"

"You two little girls, don't just stare at the surface, those dark guards are really powerful existences!"

Yue Qingfeng walked slowly to the two of them, and heard them whispering about the man's net worth, and couldn't help but point out his more shining place.

"Oh, yes, wow! The power of the 'self-detonation' just now was so powerful that even the city walls were powdered, how could they still appear so fast? Could it be ...... No...... Impossible!"

"If they are always lurking nearby, and they can still appear unscathed, the strength is unimaginable!"

Compared with Si Muxing's panic, Situ Wan'er is very calm, anyway, the other party has nothing to do with him, his strength and weakness are just an appearance.

"Has anyone seen an oval object less than three meters in size fly out?"

Originally, he was anxious, shouting with the attitude of trying it out, and when he saw that the hidden guards were intact, the masked boy couldn't help but be shocked, and slowly said the doubts in his heart.

"Back to Lord Marquis Andrey, a total of two objects were shaken away during the overall explosion, a gray and dark sphere and an oval object!"

"Okay, worthy of being the strongest warrior of my 'Iron and Blood Victory Song', leave one person to lead the way, and the others can go down and rest!"

Although I didn't witness the whole process of self-detonation, I can imagine the horror of the time from this mess.

Just when everyone was fully committed to saving their lives, these professionally trained warriors were able to obtain such important information in such a crisis situation, which had completely subverted the masked boy's definition of the word 'tough' in his heart.

"Lord Marquis Andrea, although this place has just undergone great changes, it is still the inner courtyard of the Qing Dynasty's palace, let's keep a low profile!"

The gray-clothed soldier Ji An looked at his companions who had disappeared one after another, knelt down on one knee and waved his fist in salute, and gave advice to the young man very responsibly.

"Hurry up, I was too impatient just now, and I won't be in the future!"

Having already gotten the place of the person he was worried about, the masked boy's hanging heart gradually calmed down.

For this warrior who is quite a lot older, but everything is important to the overall situation, the masked boy not only respects the other party in his heart, but also regards him as a friend who is also a teacher and friend.

Thinking that his faux pas just now was likely to bring trouble to the entire country, the masked boy picked up Ji'an with a little embarrassment.

"That...... Little brother, I heard what you said just now!"

Si Muxing slowly walked up to the masked boy, bowed his head slightly, and his fingers tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and whispered to the boy.

When he didn't get any response for a long time, Si Muxing slowly raised his head, looking at the pair of blue eyes under the young man's mask, faintly revealing a trace of fierceness, and his body involuntarily gradually retreated.

"Why are ......you so fierce! , we are just concerned about Senior Brother Lingyun's safety!"

Holding the regressing Si Muxing, Situ Wan'er pretended to be calm and stared at the masked boy, and replied to the past with righteous words.

"The younger generation thanks all the elders for their kindness, and on behalf of the Andre family, I promise you that as long as I reign for one day, I will not do anything that will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

Ignoring the two women's justifications, the masked boy ascended the Taihe Hall again, looked at the people who were sorting out the bodies of the dead monks, and sighed deeply.

The masked boy waved his hand and bowed to his fists, telling everyone what he had been trying to accomplish when he came in.

"Marquis Andre has a noble status, your promise is extremely precious, and I only represent my Qing Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Sect, and I am willing to conclude a covenant with you for eternity!"

Looking at the surrounding elders with circles on their faces, Elder Yue Shengying of 'Emei Mountain' swallowed his saliva nervously, and stepped forward to bow to the masked boy with great humility.

Although Yue Shengying has a decisive weight in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it is extremely insignificant in a country with a population of more than 100 million and tens of millions of combat strength.

Although I don't know what the reason is, the marquis, whose status is equivalent to the level of a prince, can deign to say these words, but the final result is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty and harmless!!

"Other things will be discussed later, now that there are heavy casualties inside and outside the imperial city, I will bring someone to help first!"

After Ji An's reminder, the masked boy began to reflect on his impulsive act just now, in order to dispel everyone's doubts and not cause trouble for Zhang Lingyun.

The masked boy took this opportunity to make public his original act of secretly defending the Qing Dynasty, and first came up with an excuse that people could not refute in order to find Zhang Lingyun's whereabouts next.

"How embarrassing is that......! Oh, since that's the case...... Thank you, Lord Marquis of Andrey!"

Yue Shengying, who was still a little confused, just wanted to politely refuse the other party's kindness, but looked at Situ Wan'er on the other side and shook her head and waved her hand.

Yue Shengying frowned and responded to the other party's request, looking at the masked boy who was gradually moving away, Yue Shengying waved his hand to summon the little disciple to walk in front of him.

"Great Elder, I feel that Marquis Andeli should be going for Senior Brother Lingyun!"

"How could it be ......? Did they find something?"

Hearing the analysis of the junior disciple, Yue Shengying instantly thought of Zhang Lingyun's special bloodline, and while muttering in a low voice, his already solemn expression became more and more solemn.

"Great Elder, Great Elder...... Are you alright!?"

"It's okay, we'll clean up the mess, you all go to the city to see if there's anything you can help!"

Feeling the slight push on her arm, Yue Shengying, who was in a fugue, instantly came back to her senses, forced out a smile and sent Situ Wan'er and the others away, and then fell into deep thought again.

It should have been the beginning of the morning, but the whole capital was under the thick fog, as if shrouded by a white veil, and it was impossible to see the true face of its supposed existence.

The non-existent mountain peaks, revealing a vague figure in the thick smoke and dust, seem so mysterious, but give people an extremely distant sense of strangeness.

"Mountain...... I'm ...... Are you hallucinating?"

"I don't know, but there are mountains dozens of miles away from the capital, and what I see now shouldn't be true!"

For the illusion in front of him, Yue Qingfeng, who was also suspicious in his heart, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and walked slowly and cautiously.

I don't know how long I walked out, looking at the street in front of me that was still extremely clean, the chill in everyone's hearts became more and more intense.

"So long...... It's already in the middle of the city!"

Situ Wan'er, who grew up in the capital since she was a child, can clearly walk to those famous boudoir jewelry stores even if her eyes are closed.

And now this location should be nearly a mile away from the noon gate, the very famous Lao Tzu boudoir jewelry shop!

"Keep walking...... Find the living!"

Yue Qingfeng, who knew very well what Situ Wan'er meant, involuntarily let out layers of cold sweat all over her body, and the chill that erupted from the bottom of her heart went straight to her hair.

Yue Qingfeng waved his hand and clasped the little junior sister's wrist, took a deep breath, tried to ignore how many living beings existed in the originally dense buildings around him, and continued to walk forward with a cold gaze.

"Whoa, whoa......!"

The faint sound of the bricks moving attracted all attention, and everyone followed the sound to find a young face in the pile of broken rubble slightly above the ground.

The muddy child's face was covered with fine bloodstains, and his eyes were full of faint despair and helplessness, and he could still vaguely see the tears that had been cried.

The child's mouth is open and closed, but no sound can be heard, it may be that he has become dumb after crying for help for a long time, or he may be frightened stupid by the huge shock wave.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, you are safe now, we will take you away!"

The appearance of Yue Qingfeng and the others made the child's dull eyes full of dawn, and when everyone approached, the child waved his arms in vain and slapped the ground fiercely.

"Wow, wow, wow......!"

The rubble, which was already unstable, scattered around under the frantic movements of the child, and the cries of babies were faintly heard from below the ground.

"Child, there is a child's cry inside!!"

"What should I do? It's all rubble, how can I save people?"

Faced with such a mentally retarded way of speaking by the people of the 'Xuantian Sect', Si Muxing and the others sent out a few more white eyes one after another, gathered around the ruins, leaned over and moved the sparse rubble with their hands.

For a while, the disciples of 'Mount Emei' and 'Zhengyi Sect' joined the excavation one after another, even if their hands were scarred and stained with blood, they didn't care at all.

The few big men who left the 'Xuantian Sect' alone stood in place in extreme embarrassment, neither advancing nor retreating.

Since the end of the second competition, everyone who has not been given any rest time is exhausted regardless of physical strength and state of mind, but in order to save this life, everyone has not complained in the slightest.

"This ...... ...... the child's mother?"

"The child is still angry, maybe he is too tired from crying!"

After nearly half an hour of hard work, a deep pit of nearly two meters was finally dug out, and a brocade quilt was underneath it.

The woman in a gorgeous costume bowed to her knees with her arms on the ground, and in the extremely tight and narrow space under her, the baby nested in it unscathed, and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Don't worry, son, we'll find him a good man, and he'll grow up to be a humble gentleman!"

Situ Wan'er stood outside the pit, looking at the strangely shaped woman inside, and the ghost made a word of comfort.

But I don't want the woman who has always bowed her body to slump as if she suddenly lost some kind of support.

"Ah...... Zombies!"

"Who's going down to see if it's still alive?"

"Thank you, this good thing comes to mind, but this man...... It's really out of gas!"

The people who were shocked by the strange phenomenon in front of them looked at each other, and finally set their eyes on the disciples of the 'Xuantian Sect' who had been doing nothing for a long time.

And the first disciple of the 'Xuantian Sect' jumped into the pit with great reluctance in the expectant eyes of everyone, reconfirming the woman's pulse.

"It's a miracle that such a delicate woman, for the sake of her children, can support such a heavy sand and gravel!"

"It turns out that mortals...... You can have such a powerful ability!"

Such a scene shocked everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, waiting for the woman's body to be placed in the open space, waiting for the family members who might survive to claim it, Yue Qingfeng and the others held the two children, one older and one young, and continued to walk into the distance.

Nearly a kilometer away from the Forbidden City, you can already see some broken eaves one after another, and there are more and more corpses missing arms and legs, and the terrifying scene is no less than a battlefield ruin.

"Well, I found it, the ...... Andrey!"

Just when everyone was in their own grief, the shouts of Si Muxing recalled everyone's thoughts wandering far away.

"Lord Andrew, there doesn't seem to be one here!"

The purple-clothed warrior, covered in mud, clenched his fists and lightly pounded his heart, bowed his head slightly, and softly reported the situation around him to the blonde masked boy.

"How about the little brother, have you found Zhang Shaoxia?"

Si Muxing had no interest in rescuing the people of Dawn, and the reason why he dragged his tired fellow sisters out was just to have a few more people to help.

Looking at the masked boy's languishing expression now, Smuxing was sure that they hadn't found a benefactor, and that he still had a chance to repay him.

"Let's do this! After all, when it comes to magic, we are still slightly superior!"

Zhang Lingshuang, who was silent for a long time, attracted a dissatisfied gaze as soon as she spoke, and Zhang Lingyu was so frightened that she grabbed her daughter-in-law and covered the other party's mouth tightly.

"We've just added a new kid not long ago, the little junior sister is weak, and her brain is still recovering, if there is anything wrong or wrong, please bear with me!"

Zhang Lingxiao, who followed slowly, although he hadn't figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing yet, looked at the unusually familiar picture in front of him, as well as the familiar posture of the second junior brother.

Immediately on the grounds that the pregnant woman's IQ is not online, regardless of whether everyone accepts it or not, he forcibly apologized to everyone as if he was a scoundrel.

"It doesn't matter, all I care about is finding him!?"

has been looking for a large circle without the slightest gain, which makes the masked boy, who was already worried, feel unprecedented pressure.

Now Mo Yan said that he was said by others, even if he was beaten up, as long as he could find Zhang Lingyun as soon as possible.

"Seeing Your Excellency's posture, Senior Brother Lingyun, it should have landed near here, right!?"

"Senior brother, how's it going?"

"It's so chaotic underground, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, it's impossible to tell the difference!"

Hearing Situ Wan'er's question, and getting the acquiescence of the masked boy, several people from the 'Zhengyi Sect' held their breath and concentrated, releasing the power of their spiritual consciousness to extend underground.

But as their respective spiritual senses poured into the ground to explore the landform, Zhang Lingxiao and the others knew that the difficulty of this matter was no less than the hard work of looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Zhang Shaoxia's spiritual power shield can block spiritual power, you can use this feature to explore again!"

"Oh yes! How could I have forgotten such important information! Thank you Anglis!"

Zhang Lingxiao, who got the hint, was very happy, and when he was excited, he forgot the etiquette, waved his hand and patted the Marquis of Andrey's shoulder, and called him by his name directly.

When he realized that something was wrong, Zhang Lingxiao was already surrounded by five sturdy Italian soldiers.

"Lord Marquis Andrey, please atone for our rudeness, Senior Brother Ling Xiao was just too happy just now, and he didn't mean to disrespect you!"

The atmosphere was still harmonious just now, but because of Zhang Lingxiao's action, he entered a tense situation, and Yue Qingfeng of 'Emei Mountain' immediately apologized in a low voice.

"Lord Andrew, there is a lot of dust around here, and the protective shield where Senior Brother Zhang is is too narrow, there must be a lack of air, and the longer it passes, the greater the damage will be to it!"

Seeing that the senior sister's words did not calm the other party's emotions, Situ Wan'er did the opposite and took out Zhang Lingyun, who the other party cared more about, to talk about things.

"Ji'an, Ling Xiao Shaoxia is also concerned about chaos, forget it this time!"

The masked boy, who didn't take this matter seriously, faced with his subordinates who were so nervous, and his friends who had been with him before, were in a dilemma.

Fortunately, the two Taoist aunts of 'Emeishan' gave themselves a reasonable step, so that the masked boy had an excuse to persuade his subordinates to retreat.

"By the orders of the Marquis of Andrey!"

The five Italian warriors led by Ji An slowly stepped back, lined up in a row, folded their fingers into fists, and bowed slightly to the masked boy and lightly beat his heart.

"Isn't it just a marquis of a small country, there's no need to be so squeamish!"

"Shhh, I don't understand the situation and talk nonsense, I didn't see that Elder Yue was very respectful to him!"

As soon as the disciple of the 'Xuantian Sect' who didn't think it was a big deal spoke, he was glared at fiercely by Si Muxing beside him, and sternly shouted at this stupid man who had no eyesight.

"Found it, there's something different there!"

Zhang Lingyu, who had been like a transparent person all the way, was extremely attentive to the problem of finding the third senior brother, and the power of spiritual consciousness was not afraid of exhaustion, and finally found something strange a hundred meters away.

"Ji'an, hard work, let's go over and have a look!"

Facing the position pointed by the young man, it was the place where the Italian soldiers first started to rummage, and the masked young man's face suddenly became gloomy.

In a relatively calm tone, he tried his best to order his subordinates to go to the open space to check it out.

"Lord Andrew, please come along!"

Ji An, who knows the strength of the 'Iron Blood Victory Song' secret guard very well, is also very strange that he did not dig out Zhang Lingyun's protective shield for the position pointed by his partner next to him.

But now it has been pointed out by others that the location that he and others have searched for actually hides the person who the young master cares about the most, but it makes many soldiers a little unacceptable in their hearts.

"Such a deep pit!"

Zhang Lingyu, who was confused, slowly followed the masked boy and the others to the direction he confirmed, looked at the pit more than ten meters deep, and immediately understood the reason for their stinky faces.

"Lord Marquis Andrey, sometimes you don't need to dig too deep!"

Zhang Lingyu, who had always released the spiritual consciousness of his body, felt the increasingly obvious sense of obstruction, suddenly pulled out the long sword on his waist and suddenly released the spiritual power of his body, raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down.

"Bang......!"

For example, the dull sound of striking the Ben bell came out, less than two meters next to the deep pit, as if a heavy object rolled out, and wisps of muddy water floated in the void in the deep pit of more than ten meters.

"If you can't find it, you can take it slowly, so it's not necessary to be rough...... Let's do it!"

"Mistress Andrew, there...... Looks like something has fallen!"

"This ...... , I guess I've hidden my figure!"

Different from the shocked eyes of his subordinates, the masked boy slowly breathed a sigh of relief, explained softly to everyone, and secretly gave a thumbs up to Zhang Lingyun's cautious behavior in his heart.
