Soul Eater City has almost become a cancer buried in Youzhou City, this tumor continues to eat away at the vitality of Youzhou City, and one day it will swallow Youzhou City as a whole.

Ruan Ruan had a kind of imminent crisis that was about to come, and it seemed that Tianxing Academy also seemed to know about the uneasy movements of Soul Eater City. The Academy's announcement of this mission has clearly been represented, and the Academy's higher-ups are closely monitoring the movements here. If there is the intervention of the academy, Youzhou City will still have a turnaround, and it seems that he will not fight alone. Thinking of this, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What can be done at the moment is naturally to find out the plan of Soul Eater City, and give feedback to the academy in time, I believe that the academy will naturally take corresponding measures.

How to infiltrate Soul Eater City, according to the current identity, obviously it will not work.

Zhu Hong obviously didn't have any way to deal with the destruction methods of Soul Eater City at the moment.

I can only rely on myself.

"Is there any recent incident of losing a baby in the city?" Ruan Ruan Ruan looked at Zhu Hong.

"I've stepped up the defense of the city, but the other side is secretive, and similar things will happen. "Zhu Hong is a little at a loss.

"Is that secret passage watched? Ruan Ruan thought of a solution.

"Tie Lu also discovered by accident, the entrance to the secret passage is in the dark forest, you know that the environment there is treacherous, and ordinary people can only get lost in it if they send it, and they can't gain anything at all. Zhu Hong looked helpless.

Also, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion are just some strong ordinary soldiers, and they are okay to deal with ordinary people, but they are useless for cultivators.

If you can find that secret passage, you should have a chance to learn some news about Soul Eater City.

"Back then, Soul Devouring City had attacked Youzhou City?" Ruan Ruan suddenly remembered the news he had heard before.

"That was more than ten years ago, when there were many outlaws who detoured from Soul Eater City and secretly lurked in Youzhou City, but fortunately, Ding Liang, the city lord of Lanzhou, was a guest here at that time, so I was exempted from this riot. Zhu Hong reminisced about the past.

"Isn't it Zhao Dingyi?"

"Zhao Dingyi was only a commander at the time, and Ding Liang was also injured in the pacification riot, and his body was not suitable for work, so Zhao Dingyi filled the position of city lord. ”

Zhao Dingyi!

The last time Ruan Ruan fought with him, he learned that he was just being manipulated by others, and there was a demon lord behind him who was secretly plotting.

"What is the background of this Zhao Dingyi? ”

"Zhao Ding was born in the Golden Sword Gate, and the Golden Sword Gate was not very famous at that time. Due to its location in the same west as the Sword Alliance, the Golden Sword Gate began to expand wildly after it was under the Sword Alliance. Zhao Ding must have also relied on the power of the Sword Alliance to climb to the throne of the city lord. Zhu Hong also faintly felt that something was wrong.

This series of things is inseparable from the shadow of the Sword Alliance, Ruan Ruan thought deeply, and wanted to string together these messy information.

After Jin Jianmen joined the Sword Alliance, he launched an operation against Xugu. Bloodied the Void Valley, intending to break the seal in the secret chamber and obtain the treasure.

When the city lord of Lanzhou was a guest in Youzhou City, he "happened" to encounter the undercover riot of Soul Eater City, which solved the crisis caused by Soul Eater City, and also caused the city lord of Lanzhou to be injured, making Zhao Dingyi successfully ascend to the throne. On the surface, Youzhou City quelled the riot, but in fact, Zhao Ding took advantage of the fisherman. It seems that the Sword Alliance not only controls the Golden Sword Gate, but also has a subtle connection with Soul Eater City.

The Sword Alliance Alliance leader invited the head of the Liu family to go to the South China Sea, wasn't it just to pass through Soul Devouring City? Before, he just thought that it was the boundary of the Guiyi Sect, so it seemed that the injury of the head of the Liu family was the same as that of the Lanzhou City Lord back then. What kind of conspiracy is there? It seems that the ambition of the Sword Alliance is not only against these surrounding forces, but also against the four major families in the imperial city.

I can only go to the Dark Forest first, find the secret path, and follow the vine to see what kind of clues can be obtained.

Ruan Ruan discussed with Zhu Hong, and then went to the back room to settle Yuqing and Du Xiaobai to stay, and took Wu Changli out of Youzhou City.

The Dark Forest is a place of beautiful scenery if not shrouded in mist.

Wu Changli looked at the lush woods in front of him, and when his spiritual sense was released, he could only feel the range of a few meters.

"The terrain here is complicated, and we must not be separated. ”

Ruan Ruan looked ahead, also frowning.

The two of them looked and groped their way along the edge, Ruan Ruan constantly using the earth-based true qi to mark along the way.

After entering the forest for a while, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and the eyes could no longer see, and they could only feel each other's positions with their spiritual senses.

As he walked, Wu Changli suddenly let out an "oops", and Ruan Ruan hurriedly grabbed him.

"There's a snake crawling past my feet, it's fine. Wu Changli hid his panic.

"You are also a master of the Jindan Realm, how can you be so cowardly. Ruan Ruan was amused by him.

"I don't think the fog here is a natural formation, but rather a large maze. Wu Changli looked around with a serious look.

The fog is so thick that people can't tell the direction at all.

"Do you know the formation?" Ruan Ruan asked casually.

"I am the descendant of Wu Shiqi, the master of the formation, and the way of the formation is my strength. Wu Changli was a little complacent.

"You know why the formation is still letting us go around here. Ruan Ruan was suspicious of him.

"The formation here has been arranged for a long time, and the subtle anomalies that can cover such a range of large arrays are not something that can be cracked in a while. Wu Changli's face was red, but the light was dim here, and he couldn't see it.

"That's not the same as not saying it. Ruan Ruan was disappointed.

"I can't crack it, but I have a way for us to find a way out. Wu Changli took out a small mirror from his arms.

The mirror has a simple shape, and there are many tiny runes imprinted around it, which looks quite extraordinary.

"This is the Broken Delusion Mirror, which was used by the ancestors, and is the heirloom of my Wu family. Wu Changli doesn't forget to show off.

He activated the golden true qi, and the delusion breaking mirror emitted a golden light, a golden pillar of light, illuminating the front.

In the mist, near the golden pillar of light, the scenery became clear, and finally he was no longer like a blind man, stumbling around.

With the Delusion Mirror, the two quickly found a hidden hole.

The hole was small enough for one person to pass through.

"This is the same as a rat hole, do we have to drill through here?" Wu Changli looked disgusted.

"Just wait here. Ruan Ruan put on a comfortable posture and scanned the entrance of the cave with his spiritual sense while cultivating.

Wu Changli also sat down next to him in his example, took out a pot of wine from the City Lord's Mansion from his arms and drank it.

The sky was getting darker, and the two of them had been waiting here for most of the day.

A black figure slowly crawled out of the hole.

With great difficulty, he got out of the hole and dusted the dirt off his body.

"It's been a hard journey, and we welcome you all the way. ”

The man was shocked, how could there be people waiting in such a secret place.

He tried to run out of the forest, but his feet fell into a swamp of mud, and he sank both legs, unable to move. It was Ruan Ruan's comprehension of the earth element that trapped him.

Ruan Ruan motioned for Wu Changli to tie him up and take him to Youzhou City.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Zhu Hong is arranging the deployment of defenses.

I saw Ruan Ruan and Wu Changli entering the conference hall with a man in black who was tied up like a dumpling.

Zhu Hong was overjoyed, "The virtuous nephew has gained so quickly. ”

Wu Changli looked proud, "With me, of course I can catch it." ”

"Tell me, did Soul Eater City send you here to make trouble, who instigated it, and what is the purpose?" Zhu Hong looked at the man with a stern face.

The man's eyes kept rolling, apparently thinking about what to do.

"If you recruit from the truth, I can report you for your guilt and meritorious service, and the death penalty can be spared. Ruan Ruan was on the side to play a heart-to-heart strategy.

The man raised his head, "Anyway, if I fall into your hands, even if I go back, I will die." Needless to say, it's just hands-on. ”

Wu Changli saw that his mouth was stubborn, and stepped forward to touch his face. "Look at the way you look, you haven't seen my methods. ”

The man was full of excitement, maybe this person had a special hobby. Suspicious in his heart, his body couldn't help but twist a few times, trying to avoid his claws.

Wu Changli muttered to himself, "Tsk, this body is also strong, I don't know if I can afford to toss." Reaching out and touching him for a while.

The man couldn't imagine that the person in front of him was so obscene, he couldn't help trembling, and couldn't help but shout: "I said, I said." Get him away from me. ”

Zhu Hong: "......"

Ruan Ruan: "......"
