Chapter 42: There is no way back, stepping into the abyss

Tokai country.

Liu Yuanzheng's disappearance in the cemetery for no reason made the lord of the country furious, and the guard officer who was responsible for deploying manpower to inspect the cemetery was directly cut down.

In fact, the guard officer was also innocent, and the cemetery was only thirty miles away from the royal city, which was only a cup of tea for the masters in the royal city.

There are many Liu clan people buried in the cemetery, most of them are very ordinary.

For those clansmen with prominent status, there are various secret techniques in their tombs, and once someone breaks in, they may not only die on the spot, but also attract the vigilance of the masters of the royal city.

In addition, the Liu clan has never had the habit of accompanying precious treasures for burial, so that this place is a place that both cultivators and ordinary people are reluctant to set foot in.

Without a strange treasure and spiritual object, how could a cultivator venture into it?

And for ordinary people, breaking into the mausoleum is tantamount to looking for death.

So for a long time, the number of guards who inspect the mausoleum has not been much, and they are called guards, and more often they play the role of cleaning the mausoleum.

No one expected that someone would attack the old lord.

After all, in the past hundred years, the situation in the eighteen countries has stabilized, and the old lord has been relatively gentle during his reign, and he has not formed a grudge against anyone.

At dusk, Liu Mingyang walked back and forth in the study with a gloomy face, and his irritability was clearly written on his face.

"What went wrong?"

Just now, he who was secretly following the investigation of the 'Liu Yuanzheng disappearance case' received a cryptic news, that is, General Chen Li, who was in charge of investigating the matter, seemed to have found a clue.

Liu Mingyang is certain that so far, Liu Yuanzheng's bones have not been found.

He recalled the bits and pieces of that night over and over again in his heart, and he still couldn't understand what clues Chen Li had found.

And that's why he's irritable.

Forcing his own grandfather, and even killing him, this move can be said to be the craziest move Liu Mingyang has taken since he grew up.

When he first took this step, he also thought it through.

He knew very well that the imperial dragon qi that appeared on Qin Ziyue's body was his only chance to change his fate, so he would resort to such drastic means.

"What clues did this Chen Li find!"

Beneath the gloomy countenance was a trembling heart.

Liu Mingyang was extremely scared and panicked.

Let's not talk about whether Chen Li can find out whether he can find out about himself in the end, just the four words 'clues' make it difficult for him to sleep.

Once the murder, or even the brutal rat punishment against Liu Yuanzheng, is exposed, then the result waiting for him will be extremely severe!

"Now, I, Liu Mingyang, have no way out. ”

After thinking about it for three whole days, Liu Mingyang finally decided to make a move that he was extremely unwilling to make.

The name of that move is 'Black Scale'.

'Black Scale', a secret organization that seems to be attached to the body of the Eighteen Kingdoms, no one knows when it was born, let alone what the purpose of its appearance is, and no one knows anything about its personnel structure, which makes it look more like an imaginary existence by some people.

In the most confidential dossier of the Eighteen Kingdoms, there are very few records of 'black scales'.

As few people know, Liu Mingyang only knows that this mysterious organization seems to be extremely hostile to the Eighteen Kingdoms, and every time it makes a move, it will cause great disasters and even shake the foundation of a country.

It can be said that in the nearly 1,000 years of the Eighteen Kingdoms, this organization has been present in all the great turmoil.

The extremely obscure information indicates that there is a terrible thing, that is, this organization called 'Black Scale' is like mercury, infiltrating the Eighteen Kingdoms little by little.

For this reason, almost all the lords of the Eighteen Kingdoms secretly set up an organization to investigate and fight against this 'black scale'.

Three years ago, the group approached Mr. Liu.

For Liu Mingyang, this 'black scale' organization is like a bottomless abyss, for three years, he has been staring at the abyss, but after all, it is difficult to see its true face, and he does not dare to step into it.

"Perhaps, when I decided to do something to my grandfather, I was already heading towards the abyss. ”

At midnight, Liu Mingyang put on a black robe that covered his appearance, quietly left the mansion, picked an uninhabited alley, and kept sneaking towards the west of the city.

Not long after, he stood at the end of a gloomy alley.

The eyes under the black robe stared blankly at a notch on the upper right of the wooden door.

This is nothing more than an ordinary trace of natural formation on wood in the eyes of anyone, and it represents the 'black scales'.

Instead of knocking, he pulled out a thumb-sized piece of black wood from his bosom.

After burning the black wood chips with a fire chip, it instantly turned into a cluster of ashes and fell to the ground.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Mingyang only felt a sense of palpitation rising from the bottom of his heart, and the whole person was like a flower cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and its whole body was fried.

In the silent alley, there seemed to be a pair of gloomy eyes watching him.

Creak.

Suddenly, the wooden door opened, and a young man with an ordinary face appeared inside the door, and he did not speak, but turned and walked inside.

Liu Mingyang took a deep breath and stepped out of his right foot tremblingly.

He knew that this step would be a turning point in his life.

But what he doesn't know is what the rest of this step will bring him.

"I don't have a choice. ”

When he landed, Liu Mingyang's right foot was not trembling, and he followed the young man into the darkness behind the door.

Not long after, Liu Mingyang was taken to a room with a slightly strange fragrance, and the young man turned around and left in silence.

"You're finally here. ”

Liu Mingyang was suddenly shocked, turned his head to look to the left, and saw that there was no one at the last moment, and at this time there was already a bewitching woman in red.

The woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, which makes Liu Mingyang, who is used to seeing gorgeous women, lose his mind for a long time.

For Liu Mingyang's gaze, the woman did not feel any discomfort, twisted her slender willow waist, jumped over his body, and sat on the only wooden chair in the room.

The whole room was just that wooden chair, and when she sat on it, Liu Mingyang could only stand.

"Since you are here, it also represents your thoughts, according to the rules, before joining the 'Black Scales', you need to hand over a secret, a secret hidden in the deepest part of your heart. ”

The deepest secret of my heart?

Liu Mingyang's heart immediately jumped out of the picture of Liu Yuanzheng's mouth full of blood.

Impossible, there's absolutely no way I'm going to reveal this secret!

Liu Mingyang immediately vetoed it in his heart.

What about the other secrets?

About the imperial dragon qi on Qin Ziyue's body?

Liu Mingyang vetoed it again, this is the only opportunity for him to turn over, how can he reveal it to others?

After a while, just as Liu Mingyang wanted to tell a secret that was not so important to him, he suddenly noticed the woman's eyes.

Those deep eyes made him subconsciously blurt out: "Grandpa was killed by me." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Do you know, if you say anything else, then you won't be able to get out of here today, about your killing of Liu Yuanzheng, and even about the matter of forcing him, we Black Scales know everything~"

"Imperial dragon gas, hehe. ”

Grunt.

Hearing this, Liu Mingyang subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his back was cold......
