Chapter 697: Southern Flame City
Nanjue Kingdom, the territory of the Demon Flame Sect, Southern Flame City.
This city is exactly the same structure as the Northern Flame City, and the size and population are similar, but the location is opposite, one to the north and the other to the south.
As the largest city in the southern part of the Demon Flame Sect's territory, there are not many monks stationed in the South Flame Sect, and the city lord has the peak cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, and there are also several high-level Jindan officials in the city lord's mansion.
Because it was a tracking task and the time was pressing, Lei Luo and the others spent a month moving forward at full speed, and finally rushed to this city quickly.
Lei Luo saw a city as dark as the Northern Flame City from a distance, but he pouted in his heart, and secretly said What kind of aesthetics are the monks of the Demon Flame Sect, every city is the same.
"Okay, then you can go to the city on the border between the Blood Beast Sect and the Barbarian Domain and wait for me, I'll rush over after I finish dealing with the matter here, don't act alone, wait for me!" he said to the people around him.
"Hmm," the ghost nodded in reply.
Then, on the flying boat, the woman's body turned into a dark red light and flew away, disappearing from the sight of everyone on the boat in the blink of an eye.
This time it made all the people on the flying boat envious, and secretly said when he could advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, and then he would be regarded as an elder of the Demon Flame Sect, and his power and status would be at his fingertips.
Even that Youtai Dharma Protector thinks so, in a small country like Dongyue Kingdom, a Jindan monk can reach the sky, but in Nanjue, you must advance to Yuanying to have such a status.
Lei Luo shook his head, but to his surprise, Yu Yiyu, who was sitting quietly next to him, actually got closer to him after Yu Wan left, and made a relieved move.
Because it was within the Demon Flame Sect's sphere of influence, the flying boat could naturally move forward unimpeded.
What's more, this time it was a task within the sect, and it also included the intention of the sect master to train troops, so the guards of Southern Flame City did not dare to stop it in the slightest.
"It's finally here!" Lei Luo and You Yiyu said in unison, the two of them glanced at each other, and then looked away.
The city lord's mansion had already received a message, so after the Youtai Protector and his party arrived, the city lord of Southern Flame City personally came out to greet the group.
Although the Youtai Protector only has the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan, after all, the other party is sent by the sect, and his status is equivalent to that of the minister, so this necessary etiquette still has to be done.
Moreover, Youtai is a high-level monk of the Youjia Sect, and his status in the Demon Flame Sect is not low, not to mention that there are also some noble people among the disciples who traveled this time, which is naturally even more slack.
To Lei Luo's surprise, the city lord of Southern Flame City was actually a woman, and a middle-aged woman in her thirties, wearing a purple palace robe, which was different from the pitch-black worn by the Demon Flame Sect monk.
Then what made him even more speechless was that there were five Jindan monks in this Southern Flame City, four of them were women, and they were all not young women, and there was only one old man in the man.
"If this old man arrives, this Southern Flame City will not be in charge of a woman, but it seems to be about the same now!" Lei Luo looked at the old man who was about to die, and guessed in his heart.
The City Lord of Nanyan welcomed all the people into the City Lord's Mansion, and then arranged a few villas for everyone to choose to live in, and arranged for many people to come over.
Fortunately, the city lord also knew the priority of the task, and after arranging the accommodation, he did not let them move in immediately, but agreed to go to the city lord's mansion meeting hall in half an hour to discuss the incident, this time just for everyone to repair.
"Ergou, which courtyard are you going to live in, I will live in the same courtyard with you!" At this moment, a voice sounded.
Lei Luo looked at the woman in front of him with a surprised face, and secretly said what the other party had planned, this lonely man and widow was a little inappropriate.
"This, it's a little inappropriate, Senior Sister You, I still like to live alone," he politely declined.
"What do you mean, don't you look down on me, it's decided, let's go!" You Yiyu snorted coldly, and then grabbed Lei Luo and chose a courtyard.
The crowd in the distance all looked at the two people who had gone to choose the other courtyard, and Youtianhan's expression flashed with a hint of resentment, and the same was true for the Youtai Protector.
"Young Master Tianhan, don't worry, this time I promise to let that kid come and go, anyway, Elder Youwu has already gone away, and it is impossible to notice what happened here!" Youtai whispered.
"That's good, but I want this kid to die a painful death, and I definitely can't cheapen him!"
Yu Tianhan's already feminine face was even more gloomy, like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows.
Lei Luo and You Yiyu naturally chose the most elegant courtyard, and then they chose a room, but the room that You Yiyu chose was actually against the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, which can be said to be the most marginal place.
"Listen to Ergou, you have to follow me from now on, there is a senior sister to cover you and protect you, you and I will not encounter danger in this mission, do you understand!" After choosing the room, the woman said to Lei Luo with a straight face.
This is to say something inexplicable, do you still need the protection of the other party, you should protect the other party in turn.
"Oh, senior sister, it's good that you're happy, oh yes, since senior sister wants to protect me, then this magic weapon is given to you!"
He thought of something, and then handed the black flame shield he had refined to the other party.
"This, this is, the best magic weapon, this lion, this is the Hellfire Alchemy Technique!" You Yiyu took the black shield magic weapon, and then as if he saw something, his mouth opened slightly and his face was shocked.
She saw the pitch-black lion carving, and found that it was not carved, but a magic weapon made by the True Transmission Alchemy Technique of the Hellfire Temple!
"Yes, I don't need this thing, so I'll give it to Senior Sister Yu," Lei Luo said lightly.
He really doesn't need these top-grade magic weapons, he may be able to smash one of them with a single fist, and the defensive power is not as effective as the defense of his own alchemy.
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, regardless of the shocked face of Yu Yiyu behind him, as for the reason for setting off first, he naturally went to eavesdrop on some news.
Because he promised Youwu, he needed to find something to complete the task, and then make peace with the other party, this time his task was not difficult, the difficult task was Youwu's task.
……
Southern Flame City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
In a secret secret room, there were five people discussing something, and these five people, four women and one man, were the five Jindan monks in the city lord's mansion.
"Lord of the Dark Mountain, this is the letter that the Protector of Youtai entrusted me with just now, saying that I would like to ask you to take a look at it," the only old man took out a letter, handed it over respectfully, and explained.
The Southern Flame City Lord Ming Shan naturally opened the letter and looked at it, but at this glance, his face showed a hint of surprise, and then the flame in his hand flashed, and the letter turned into ashes.
"What is the important matter of my Dao, it turns out that these people are full and have nothing to do, and they want to fight among themselves, but that foreign disciple is okay, and they actually make a move against the disciple of the Youjia Sect!" she sneered.
The other four all looked surprised, it was obvious that the city lord had already made his words clear just now, and then after comprehending the meaning, they all looked puzzled.
"Hmph, it's good if we don't get involved in this matter, they can do whatever they want, but foreign disciples have no status, and if they die, they will die, as for that little girl," the Southern Flame City Lord showed a look of thought on his face.
"We should look at the degree, that little girl's background is not as high as Youtianhan's son, the other party has his back to the Heavenly Weeping Sect Master, let's pretend not to see it then!"
After thinking about it for a while, she finally made up her mind.
It's somewhere in the City Lord's Mansion.
Lei Luo is face was thoughtful, he should have heard the conversation of the five people just now, and at that moment, when the letter appeared, he was also read by him.
His current divine consciousness has reached the advanced stage of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he has cultivated the Divine Consciousness Secret Technique before, if he deliberately suppresses it carefully, unless he is a Yuan Infant Cultivator, it will be difficult to find out his snooping.
"I'll just say why that girl is so abnormal, it turns out that she also senses a trace of danger, but they actually calculate one of my foreign disciples!" Lei Luo said with a strange expression.
It stands to reason that he is usually inconspicuous, and there are few people in the Demon Flame Sect who know him, and his status is low, so he should not suffer such a killing disaster.
But he still underestimated that the flaws of Youtianhan and Youtai would be retributed, and the other party's response to Youyiyu this time was incidental, and killing himself was the real purpose.
"A group of Zizhu Foundation Dan Monks, actually calculating a Yuanying Monk, really laughed off my big teeth!" Lei Luo's voice grew cold, and his tone was calm.
Then he walked to the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the two foundation guards guarding the door naturally did not dare to stop him.
This council hall is very large, the length and width are also fifty or sixty zhang, in addition to the main seat at the head, there is a red carpet at the entrance of the gate, this carpet is three zhang wide, all the way from the door to the front of the main seat.
On each side of this red carpet there are five Taishi chairs, which are the chairs that the monks of the Jindan period will sit on.
On either side of the hall, there are also rows of smaller seats, which should be for them to sit in.
So Lei Luo didn't mind walking to the corner at all, and then chose a place closest to the corner, just sat down with peace of mind, and then closed his eyes and waited.
There was a sound of footsteps, and then the Southern Flame City Lord Ming Shan walked into the hall first, followed by the other four Jindan monks, and then a group of foundation building monks from the City Lord's Mansion.
When the Southern Flame City Lord entered the hall, he found that there was already a person sitting in the corner, and after a sweep of his divine sense, he realized that this person was not the foreign disciple mentioned in the letter just now.
She made a gesture with her eyes, and the four people behind her took a look at it, and they remembered Lei Luo's appearance in their minds, obviously preparing for the next action.
Then the five of them naturally sat down first, and those foundation building monks were also standing or sitting in the hall to prepare.
There were two people standing on either side of the front, ten people standing behind the ten chairs, and the remaining ten people sitting quietly in the corners on both sides like Lei Luo.
"The lord of Nanyan City is the peak cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, and the other three women are all in the middle stage of Jindan, and the old man is in the early stage of Jindan, and there are thirty-three monks who build the foundation, this is the full strength of Nanyan City;"
"Coupled with the Youtai Dharma Protector who came this time, the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan, and the twelve disciples of the foundation building period, except for Youyiyu, who will not oppose me, the rest of the people should want to kill me!"
Lei Luo sneered in his heart and combed through his must-kill list this time.
Not long after, the Youtai Protector also entered the hall with a group of Demon Flame Sect disciples.
Youtai naturally sat among the ten chairs, and Youtianhan was invited by the Southern Flame City Lord to sit next to Youtai for the first time.
The rest of the disciples naturally didn't have such an honor, and they all sat in the corners on both sides like Lei Luo.
When the guest and host were seated, it was naturally a part of the discussion, and the Southern Flame City Lord also began to tell the news of the recent monks who had been mixed into the forces of the Demon Flame Sect.
