Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame of Karma Chapter 34 The Officials of the Yuan Palace
I could only hear the sound of sneering through the air, and several darts came from the air.
Xing Xuan's perception was so amazing that he turned around, wielding his sword in his right hand, protecting Chen with his left hand, and sliding backwards with both feet, avoiding or shooting down all those darts.
Amon swung his whip around the protruding wing horns of a roof, struggling to push himself upward.
A masked man in a black leotard above widened his eyes at this, and froze there.
Amon gathered Yuan Force with his left hand, struck out a palm, and hit him hard in the chest, the masked man screamed miserably, and fell heavily on the roof five meters away, and some tiles were shattered.
Amon swung his whip in the direction of Xing Zhen, who pulled the long whip and jumped onto the roof with Chen.
At this moment, the masked people who were hiding on different roofs all jumped out and surrounded the three of them in the center of the current roof.
"One, two, three... Twelve, counting the one I defeated just now, there are thirteen in total, but none of them have elemental fluctuations, they should all be martial artists. Amon said.
Xing Zhen shook his head slightly: "No, you are half right, there is the existence of the Yuan." Amon was shocked when he heard this: "How is it possible? Which of these thirteen people is it?"
"None of these thirteen, they should be a total of fourteen people, the Yuan One hasn't appeared yet, I can't confirm his location. Xing Xuan said with a solemn expression, "Judging by such fluctuations in Yuan power, his cultivation is not low, I'm afraid, he is a cultivator of the Yuan Refining Realm." β
"What?!" Amon's eyes widened.
"Kill them!" one of the black-clad masked men ordered in a low voice.
The masked men drew their scimitars from behind their waists at the same time, and the well-trained ones all took a step forward.
Xing Xuan and Amon faced the enemy with their backs to each other, and each took a martial arts posture.
Yuan power surged in their bodies, one was the Holy Lotus that brought death and destruction, and the other was the snake venom that withered and extinguished life.
The masked men were taken aback by this move, and they looked at their companions and looked at each other.
The man in black who gave the order hesitated, but he raised his hand anyway and gave the order to stop the attack.
"Stand down. At this moment, a voice rang out in everyone's ears.
The masked men bowed their hands slightly, scattered in all directions, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Just when the three of Xing Xuan were puzzled, suddenly, a powerful Yuan Force appeared behind them.
Xing Xuan turned his head sharply, only to find that on the ground, on the roof, and even the water in the air began to condense and turn into a human form.
The visitor walked out of the water, holding a folding fan, and his face was as warm as jade.
"Children, are you the Yuan?" his eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue, but there was a hidden murderous intent.
"That's right, Yuan Hall Yuan Lord," Amon said.
"Hey, there's no difference" Unexpectedly, the boy snorted, and still said lazily, "Since you are the Yuan, I won't kill you today, you can go." β
"You killed that person?" Xing Xuan said suddenly. "Huh?" the boy snorted disdainfully, "just a pariah who dares to eavesdrop on secrets." β
With that, he took a leap and left here.
To put it mildly, Xing Zhen froze in place.
Eavesdropping on secrets? That's just an ordinary peasant! A poor man who gets up early and works late to make a living!
Maybe his wife and children are looking through the autumn water at the door and hope that he will fill the house, and his old mother is waiting for him to return safely.
The flat pole that fell to the ground and fell apart, the blood-soaked vegetables that fell all over the ground, and the eyes were full of horror and puzzle.
"Devil!" Xing Xuan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, and his body trembled with anger.
night
Outside the city, in a dilapidated house
Outside the house, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.
Chen fidgeted and walked around the room, looking out of the door from time to time.
After a while, two figures appeared in the black rain curtain and gradually ran towards the dilapidated house.
Chen held down the long sword left by Xing Zhen tightly, his eyes fixed on the two figures.
After a while, the two figures approached, and Chen subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Oops, it's raining heavily. It was Amon who walked in, threw his soaked coat on the ground, and sat down on the ground with a "poof".
Xing Xuan was also soaking wet, panting and walked into the dilapidated house.
Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and put the sword back in its place: "That person, buried?"
Xing Xuan and Amon nodded slightly.
"We questioned many of the residents in the neighborhood, and many of them were silent, but only one or two said that the man accidentally bumped into a luxury convoy of demon maids on the road, and then was dragged down the alley and executed. Xing Xuan said.
After Xing Xuan finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.
"Yuan Hall is like this, isn't that person's life fate!" Xing Xuan suddenly roared.
Seeing this, Chen hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother Xin, maybe it's not like this, the world is mixed, maybe it's just that person is unlucky, and I don't know if I met a gentleman like Wei Kuan." β
"Yes, yes, Miss Chen is right, besides, that man is an ordinary person is just someone else's opinion, what if he is really a spy who eavesdrops on secrets?" Amon also stepped forward to persuade.
Xing Xuan's breathing gradually stabilized, and he sighed lightly: "Maybe it's because I'm too excited, but that person died so miserably... β
Xing Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, and the words changed: "Let's sleep first, I have to hurry tomorrow." β
Seeing this, Chen and Amon nodded.
It was still pouring rain outside, and the previously starry sky was now black and oppressive, and the sky was roaring non-stop.
Day 2 β Kuicheng
Xing Xuan slowly stepped out of the carriage and walked into the house with Chen.
"Xiao Zhen and Chen are back, how are they?" Seeing Xing Zhen and Chen, the whole room of people gathered around, looking at Chen with eager eyes.
"Rest assured, Chen has the power of the yuan, which is the opposite of mine, and what she has is the power of life. Xing Xuan said.
"Really" "The power of life, it's amazing. Hearing what Xing Xuan said, the entire Ruo Opera Troupe became excited.
Especially the girls who are in the same room with Chen, they can't wait to lift the sedan chair and send it to the street to parade around, so that everyone can know.
Although they may not understand what the power of life symbolizes.
"Brother Lu. Seeing Lu Che, Chen hurriedly shouted.
Lu Che stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, Chen is also a Yuan." β
"Yes, if the troupe has two yuan. Sun Ying didn't respond to the road.
"Brother Lu, you and I come. While everyone was rejoicing, Xing Xuan walked up to Lu Che and said.
Seeing Xing Xuan's slightly furrowed brow, Lu Che nodded, and walked out of the dancing crowd.
"That's it, Brother Lu. Xing Xuan told Lu Che everything he had experienced in this trip, and Lu Che nodded when he heard this.
"So, you've already joined the Yuan Palace? Hey, no, when you woke up, why didn't the Yuan Palace recruit you?" Lu Che wondered.
"I, I was for some special reason, but the awakening of Yuan Force did not show it at that time, so they thought I didn't have Yuan Force at that time. Xing Xuan explained.
"Oh, that's it, haha, I really didn't expect it, it seems that in the future, you and Chen, I'm afraid even if you become nobles, it's not impossible. Lutcher said.
Hearing Lu Che's words, Xing Zhen frowned, it seems easy to be a nobleman, after all, the Yuan is a rich group, and the day he became the Yuan Man, he was already standing above the clouds.
But Xing Zhen is afraid, afraid that he will be treated as a curse and affect everyone. He was also afraid, he didn't tell Lucher about the man's tragic death, but the scene still lingered in his mind.
Seeing that Xing Xuan didn't speak, Lu Che smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Xiao Zhen, no matter what decision you make, everyone will support you, you are our guardian." β
Seeing Lu Che's comfortable smile, the corners of Xing Zhen's mouth raised slightly: "Thank you, Brother Lu." β
Yuan Palace
The sleek corridors resemble mirrors, reflecting the gold-rimmed glazed ceilings.
On the wall on the right is a beautiful relief carving, which is a picture of an ancient hero killing the enemy.
Heroes in chariots armed with spears trample numerous enemies under their feet. The spear provoked the heart of the enemy, and even the blood of the Yangtze River could not stop the wheels rolling forward.
There was no wall on the left, and many branches outside came in from between the two pillars, and the birds were constantly foraging and squeaking among the trees.
But the old man in the corridor was in a hurry and did not pay attention to this.
He was the old man surnamed Mo who had become excited when he saw the element of the star two days ago.
His eyes were fixed on the front, sweat pouring from his forehead.
Soon, he came to the end of the hallway, in front of a rather beautiful door.
The old man took a steady breath and pushed the door open.
The room is very small, but everything is neat and tidy, and the dΓ©cor is simple but elegant.
In the corner of the bookcase stacked with books, there is an unopened bottle of champagne, and on the coat rack next to the door hangs clothes for all occasions.
On the balcony, a man sits on a sofa, staring out the window, absentmindedly playing with a goblet.
The old man hurriedly walked behind him, bowed slightly, and said, "I've seen Master Li." β
Li Moqi stopped the movement in his hand and slowly stood up: "I received a report from the shadow guard that those three children live with beggars. β
"Your Excellency is also the head of the Inspectorate and the Shadow Guard, and he is so hands-on, but he is a role model for us. The old man hurriedly said.
Li Moqi smiled: "No need to pat yourself on the back, although it is two lawsuits, it is only in the middle and upper ranks in this branch hall." β
"I came to you to discuss it with you, Master Mo, don't you think this matter is interesting?" Li Moqi walked behind Old Man Mo, still holding the cup in his hand, and said with a smile.
