From the mouth of the man in black, he finally learned some general information about Soul Eater City.

In recent years, Soul Devouring City has continued to absorb outlaws from all walks of life, including many unscrupulous disciples expelled from major sects, as well as some notorious Jiangyang thieves. These people gathered together, completely under the command of the city lord Yan Ruosong, and there were four major protectors in the city, as if they had formed a large force.

As for whether there was a connection between Soul Eater City and the Sword Alliance, the Kuroko man didn't know.

He was originally a thief, and because of his unique skills, he was sent to Youzhou City to carry out the operation of stealing babies.

As Zhu Hong expected, Soul Devouring City's move was to make the people of Youzhou City panic, and as for the specific plan, the man in black didn't know much.

"We don't have direct evidence in our hands right now that can prove the larger conspiracy of Soul Eater City. Zhu Hong felt a trace of helplessness.

"Where does that secret passage lead?" Ruan Ruan looked at the man in black.

"Beyond the Dark Forest, it's only a few dozen miles away from Soul Eater City. ”

"What about the babies?"

"I'm only responsible for handing over the stolen baby to the Leng Yu Lian Leng Protector, one of the four Dharma Protectors, and I don't know anything about what to do with him. The sunspot man looked depressed.

Ruan Ruan saw that he couldn't ask any valuable clues, so he could only ask Zhu Hong to arrange for someone to take the man in black to the dungeon first.

"I can only go by myself. Ruan Ruan pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

"It's too dangerous. Zhu Hong was shocked and did not advise him to take such a risk.

"It's okay, I'm just a newcomer to the Tianxing Academy, and the news here shouldn't be delivered so quickly. Ruan Ruan still has a lot of confidence in his current state.

"There can only be Senior Brother Lao Wu, you can send this spy from Soul Eater City back to the academy, and then come back to support me. ”

Although Wu Changli is usually arrogant and does things in an orderly manner, it is an urgent matter, and he can only obey Ruan Ruan's arrangement.

Ruan Ruan called Yuqing and Du Xiaobai to the hall, and instructed the two of them to go to Tianxing Academy to find Vice Dean Gao first with Wu Changli, with the Soul Returning Grass. He also handed over the sun and moon shuttle to Yuqing and told her how to use it.

"I want to go with you. "Yuqing is still not at ease.

"It's more convenient for me to act alone, you have the sun and moon shuttle to report to the academy first. By the way, I went to Qianlong Hall to find Liu Anchen and issued a task to find Zhu Zixin. Of course, Ruan Ruan couldn't take her into danger with her, so he could only coax her first.

"You promised me that I must pay attention to my own safety. Yuqing's tears were about to flow out.

Ruan Ruan's heart was hot, and he took her little hand and gently stroked it on the back of her hand.

"You don't have to worry about me, Xiaobai, you have to take care of Qing'er. ”

Du Xiaobai felt that he had not contributed at all this way, and when he heard Ruan Ruan's arrangement, he nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, I will be optimistic about Senior Brother Wu, Qing'er will be protected by me. ”

Wu Changli was not very happy on the side, "What do you want me to do? I'm not interested in the little girl." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Seeing off Yuqing and his party, Ruan Ruan dressed himself in disguise.

took off his white robe and changed into a set of strong clothes that people in the rivers and lakes often wore from Zhu Hong. The straps on his hair were replaced with hemp ropes, and two beards were pasted, and the Xinghang sword was carried on his back, like a rough and heroic image.

When I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn't help laughing.

Although he is still young, his body has developed quite strongly, and his dress at this time is not easy to see through even if he is in front of Yuqing and does not speak.

Taking advantage of the night, I walked all the way along the dark forest outside Youzhou City.

Fiddling with Wu Changli's delusion-breaking mirror, Ruan Ruan was very satisfied with this magic weapon in his heart.

This thing is definitely an artifact in the Dark Forest.

Following the marks he had left earlier, he soon found the entrance to the secret passage.

The secret passage was damp and narrow, and Ruan Ran crawled in it with difficulty.

He still admires the man in black, and he often passes through this secret passage, which can be regarded as commendable perseverance.

There was a smell of earth in the darkness, and people wanted to vomit. You can also hear a fierce spirit beast in your ears, making terrifying sounds. From time to time, huge spirit beasts run in the forest, and the ground can also be felt in the secret passage.

Ruan Ruan's soft true qi was running, and the feeling of discomfort gradually subsided.

His realm at this time naturally passed through here much faster than the man in black.

It took only half an hour before a faint light came in ahead.

Coming out of the hole, there was a rubble beach all the way.

Sure enough, as the man in black said, after walking for dozens of miles, a black city appeared in front of him.

Soul Eater City is ahead.

At night, Soul Eater City stands like a monstrous monster on a desolate rocky beach.

There are no guards at the gates, and fighting is not forbidden in Soul Eater City, and no one dares to go wild here.

Ruan Ruan entered the city and found that the city was brightly lit and lively as day.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of liquor shops, casinos, and green buildings constantly coming out of all kinds of noisy sounds, which seems to be a dangerous place in the rumors, which is no different from the ordinary downtown area.

He walked aimlessly through the streets, constantly observing his surroundings.

The door of a brightly lit casino next to it opened, and a large man was thrown out of it, nearly hitting him.

A few fierce thugs at the door of the casino pointed at the big man and rebuked loudly.

"If you don't have money, get out, and don't fight the autumn breeze here. ”

The big man waited for the thugs to disperse, and snorted in the direction of the gate, spitting out a mouthful of saliva with blood foam.

"These turtle grandsons are really ruthless. ”

He saw Ruan Soft beside him, and said viciously: "Where did you come from, don't you see the uncle's jokes." ”

Ruan Ruan saw that he looked like he was bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and he was not angry.

"If I make a move, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand and talk to me. ”

Seeing that he was in a sturdy figure and carrying a big sword behind his back, the big man did not dare to speak obscenities easily.

"Do you want to turn over the book?" Ruan Ruan's heart moved, and he took out a gold ingot from his arms and shook it in front of his eyes.

There was greed in the big man's eyes, but he was quite alert.

"I'm not what you think, I'm a principled person. ”

Ruan Ruan couldn't help laughing, "I'm not what you think, how about we talk in a different place." ”

The big man hesitated, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of gold, and followed Ruan Ruan into a restaurant.

After ordering a few drinks and dishes, Ruan Ruan took the ingot of gold and tapped it lightly on the table.

The big man's eyes moved up and down with the gold, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

"What do you want?"

Ruan Ruan threw the gold ingot in the air, then caught it with his hand and placed it in front of his eyes.

"When I first came here, I didn't know what the rules were here, and what it took to get a foothold here. ”

When the big man saw his face, he didn't doubt him, and he looked like an old man.

"You are asking the right person, although my Li Tong's cultivation is not high, but I know the situation in this city well. ”

Ruan smiled softly and said, "If you are satisfied with your answer, this ingot of gold will belong to you." ”

The big man snatched the gold from his hand and carefully stuffed it into his arms.

"I've been in this city for many years, if you want to be reused by the city lord, you must first look at your cultivation. There is no shortage of masters who come to this city, and those who really want to get ahead need to join the Black Soul Guard. ”

"What kind of cultivation do you need?" Ruan Ruan became interested.

"At least you have to build the level of the late stage, I have a relative who serves in the Black Soul Guard. If you want to join, it's not without opportunities. Li Tong's eyes narrowed, and his fingers were rubbing, meaning that he was rich and easy to do.

"What's the benefit of joining this Black Soul Guard. Ruan Ruan took out another ingot of gold and shook it.

"This Black Soul Guard is under the direct jurisdiction of Pan Guo, one of the four protectors, and it is equivalent to a law enforcement team in the city. Li Tong was worried that the big fish would slip away, so he hurriedly added oil and vinegar.

"How did I hear that the cold protector is the main thing in charge of the city, are you hiding something? Ruan Ruan deliberately tricked his words.

"The cold protector is the wisdom of the city lord, and ordinary people can't get close to it. Li Tong was a little anxious.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ruan Ruan immediately threw the gold to him, and made an appointment with Li Tong to be recommended by him to join the Black Soul Guard tomorrow.
