Chapter 180: The Imprisoned Prince (Part II)
"You, you, you're not drunk?" Zhan Qingxiao turned around and saw Jin Miao leaning against the wall, with his hands crossed with an expression of watching a play.
"Why are you stammering like Yang?" Jin Miao said in a surprised tone.
I stutter your uncle!" Zhan Qingxiao rolled his eyes, it seemed that he couldn't get out tonight. Reluctantly said "farewell" and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, Brother Zhan, don't leave first! Don't take away your half bottle of wine!" The voice behind him Zhan Qingxiao was already deaf, at this time he was very helpless about this hooliganism of these two guys, and he couldn't really fight for this little thing.
Zhan Qingxiao came to the inn that Shi Yu said that "the wine is not cold" in frustration, and Shi Yu sat in a conspicuous position, as if he knew that Zhan Qingxiao would return in vain.
"What's the matter, didn't you make it?" Shi Yu smiled slightly, looked at Zhan Qingxiao with a dejected look, and beckoned him to come and sit down.
"Who said that, I'm out, I think you're still here, I'm worried that you're left alone in this town, that's why I'm coming back. Zhan Qingxiao obviously didn't want to admit defeat, and said with a stiff head.
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, and Xuan immediately said, "Oh, is that so? Then you can go, you can just wait for me outside the Flame Valley, I'm quite safe in the town." ”
"I'm back, so I'll just stay for one night. Zhan Qingxiao said stiffly.
Shi Yu felt a little like laughing, but he didn't plan to continue to delve into this question, and said, "Do you know why you can't go out at night?"
"Why?" Zhan Qingxiao blurted out, but suddenly covered his mouth, and he realized that his question didn't expose the fact that he couldn't get out?
Shi Yu showed a hint of triumphant smile, "Because this place is the territory of the Senluo Palace, let's call the Senluo Hall an organization." As for this organization, it prefers to act at night, and most of the residents of this town are ordinary demon clans, so in order to avoid harming the innocent, no one is allowed to go outside the town at night. ”
"Huh, Senluo Palace, are they really from the underworld?" Zhan Qingxiao's curiosity surged up, and he no longer cared about the mess that he couldn't get out.
"Hush. Shi Yu sneered, "A group of pretentious guys." Where are they from the underworld, it's just that the king of Hades in their Senluo Hall is the spokesperson of the Hades Emperor in the mortal world. ”
"What about their strength?" The power of Jin Miao and Yang Sanhu that Zhan Qingxiao encountered at the city gate seemed to be a spiritual force.
"Yes, you have also discovered that their power is not the spiritual power of your mortal humans, nor is it the power of our demon clan. Their power is said to be the power of the underworld, but it is not the power of the underworld, although they are pretentious and claim to be the people of the underworld. "Shi Yu doesn't seem to have a good impression of the people of Senluo Palace.
"Wait, do you know that I'm not from the demon race?" When Zhan Qingxiao caught her saying "the spiritual power of mortal humans", he said the word "you", as if he knew that he was a human race early on?
"I knew early in the morning, there was something surprising. Shi Yu said nonchalantly.
"When did you know?" Zhan Qingxiao didn't know what was wrong with her, she actually saw through her identity, and when she was on the periphery of the Flame Abyss, Gao Yanwu saw through that he was a human race, and when he told Granny Zilan, Granny Zilan actually reprimanded him for helping him hide it.
"The second time I saw you, you said you were going to the Flaming Abyss Savior Collection. ”
"What's wrong with that?"
"The entire demon clan knows about the matter between the princess of Xingxi and the prince of Xingji, Princess Xingxi ran to the world of human beings, and also gave her demon yuan to humans, which caused the demon emperor to be angry and locked Xingji in the abyss of flames. The entire demon clan didn't have a good impression of these two, and it was impossible for someone from the demon clan to come and save him. Unless the Terrans. And it just so happened that ten years ago, there was a person who wanted to save him, and he took the path of Zilan's mother-in-law, and you have the breath of that person. Shi Yu said lightly.
It turned out that Yuelang had only entered the Flame Abyss through Zilan's mother-in-law, but why didn't he have to tell himself? Moreover, when he asked him about the internal situation of the Flame Abyss, he was also secretive and refused to tell himself, he could only find a way, and after arriving at the Demon Clan, he stayed in the room all day and drank all day, and he didn't help at all.
"Then you know my identity, why are you still willing to help me?" Zhan Qingxiao frowned and asked, he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Shi Yu's gourd at this time, according to common sense, shouldn't the people of the human race and the people of the demon race be regarded as enemies?
Shi Yu's eyes looked into the distance, and he said softly for a long time: "Who told you to help me kill Chen Wanggong!"
Didn't this woman always believe that she couldn't kill Chen Banggong?" "Then you will believe that I can kill Chen Banggong?"
"I don't believe it, but I have a vague hunch that you can do it. ”
"Why?"
"I feel that Chen Banggong's death is coming. A trace of fierceness appeared on Shi Yu's face, which looked very cold, making Zhan Qingxiao feel a little cold.
Zhan Qingxiao was a little uncomfortable, so he changed the topic, "What is the Immortal Emperor's Order, and this thing is still needed out of town?"
When Shi Yu heard him ask, he returned to his normal expression and said, "Oh, you said this." Did you see those two drunkards guarding the town gate?"
Drunkard, this description is also apt, Zhan Qingxiao nodded.
"Look at you like this, it doesn't seem like you have started a fight, otherwise you wouldn't have come back so intact. Shi Yu looked at Zhan Qingxiao, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, and looked at him with a smile.
What do you mean by that? Zhan Qingxiao was a little unhappy, she seemed to be expecting that she would be beaten by those two drunkards, so she said, "Those two drunkards are nothing powerful, what can you do with me?"
"Oh, that's it, then you can force your way out tomorrow!" Shi Yu said lightly.
Zhan Qingxiao was speechless, this woman is too powerful to scare people, right? But Zhan Qingxiao is not in a hurry, after all, Jin Miao said that the day has passed, and he doesn't need the Hades Emperor's order to let him out. So he raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll show you by force!"
Shi Yu showed a very charming smile, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in this smile.
"But then again, what is this Hades Emperor Order? Do you have to use the Hades Emperor Order when you go out?" Zhan Qingxiao was still very curious about this Hades Emperor Order that Jin Miao had mentioned many times.
"Oh, this, it was made by the group of people in the Senluo Palace, the Senluo Hall is divided into the Hades, the four judges, the twelve star puppets, the thirty-six soul envoys and countless shadowless ghost pawns, and the rest of the people are okay, it is these shadowless ghost pawns, distributed outside the town and the Flame Valley, there is no consciousness, and they will kill people when they see them. For the sake of safety, the Senluo Temple issued an Immortal Emperor Decree to the people of the town, so that the shadowless ghost pawns would not attack them. And those who come from the outside can get the Hades Emperor's order through the Demon Emperor's warrant in the town mansion, and we will definitely not be able to get it. ”
"Are these shadowless ghost pawns very strong?" Zhan Qingxiao frowned.
"It's not strong, but below this town is the passage of the underworld, and this town has arranged a formation, through which they can obtain the power of the underworld, and they can't kill at all, if they are entangled, it will be difficult to reach the Valley of Flames smoothly. Unless, you can drain the spiritual power from their bodies, and then you can really kill them. ”
It turned out that under this town was the underworld, Zhan Qingxiao began to be very curious about this flaming abyss, in the outer prison cell, there was a place that could lead to the Tongxian Bridge, and this town was a passage to the underworld. It seems that this flaming abyss is not simple.
Early the next morning, Zhan Qingxiao woke up Shi Yu, he didn't want to delay too much time here, after all, the auction would be held in two days.
Shi Yu had already prepared everything, and the two of them arrived at the south gate of the town together, the crooked gate had been opened, and Jin Miao and Yang Sanhu stood at the gate with nothing to do.
There are a lot of people in the neighborhood, and the shops that have closed for the night are already open, but there are very few people out of the city.
Zhan Qingxiao walked over and said with a smile, "Two, do you remember me?"
"Oh, Brother Zhan, remember to remember!" Jin Miao said with a smile, Zhan Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these two guys would drink too much yesterday and not remember themselves.
So he said, "Then I can go out today, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Jin Miao replied with a smile, and Zhan Qingxiao also walked out, but was stopped by the short Yang Sanhu.
Zhan Qingxiao looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant?
"Emperor Emperor's Order. Yang Sanhu still stammered and said.
"Huh?" Zhan Qingxiao tilted his head and looked at Jin Miao suspiciously, "Didn't you say last night that I would come over during the day, even if I didn't need the Immortal Emperor's order, let me go out?"
The smile on Jin Miao's face disappeared instantly, and he had a straight look, "You can't go out without the Hades Emperor's order." ”
"What do you mean? I gave you wine last night, saying you could let me out without the Emperor's order. Zhan Qingxiao was slightly angry, these two drunkards turned their faces and didn't recognize people?
"Ah, yes, did I say that?" Jin Miao denied, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Oh, maybe I was drunk last night and said some nonsense. Brother Zhan, you must not take it seriously, we will never be able to go out without the Hades Emperor's order here!"
I believe you are a ghost!" Zhan Qingxiao was speechless for a while, he stole the key and went out last night after watching them get drunk, only to suddenly appear next to him as if he hadn't drunk.
Shi Yu walked over at this time, looked like he was watching a play, and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to break out?"
Zhan Qingxiao choked for a while, it was too much!
"Huh, are you going to forcibly break out?" Jin Miao heard Shi Yu's words, and suddenly the black dark power flowed slowly in his hand, as if he was ready to make a move as long as Zhan Qingxiao planned to break out. Zhan Qingxiao seriously doubted that they had discussed with Shi Yu and made themselves choked?
"Here you come. Zhan Qingxiao turned his head, and he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Only then did Shi Yu take out two iron tokens, on which was engraved the word "Hades", and there was a faint trace of black underworld power circulating on these tokens.
After Jin Miao and Yang Sanhu saw the token, they let them out of the city. Zhan Qingxiao, who went out of the city, looked unhappy and didn't say a word.
And after leaving the city, he saw that the surroundings were densely packed with some very ugly-looking people, their faces seemed to be melted, flowing with black liquid, they looked very disgusting, and the black aura all over their bodies was flowing, which should be the shadowless ghost soldier that Shi Yu said.
Those ghost pawns seemed to have noticed someone coming, and slowly approached them, Shi Yu handed one of the Hades Emperor Orders to Zhan Qingxiao, and after he took it, those shadowless ghost pawns seemed to lose their target in an instant, and walked aimlessly like walking corpses.
As they continued to walk, the shadowless pawns seemed to ignore them as if nothing had happened, and some even gave way to them.
It was indeed very hot in this Valley of Flames, but fortunately, Shiyu had prepared fireproof clothing.
Passing through the Valley of Flames, there are endless cliffs that seem so deep that you can't see them all at all.
"See, under this cliff is the Abyss Twenty-Eight, which is divided into four directions. We can't look at it at all, but if you look closely, you can still see a little bit of starlight, these starlight points
There are four directions, and the abyss in each direction is divided into the arrangement of the Big Dipper. As far as I know, only eleven of the twenty-eight people in this abyss were imprisoned, all of whom were prisoners of the demon royal family, and of course the prince of Xingji was an exception. ”
"From here, the Tianxuan Abyss to the south is where the star set is held, that is, the brightest star. Hehe, it's much brighter now, and it seems that many masters have been arranged. It's very lively!" Shi Yu smiled faintly, pointed to the brightest star under the cliff, and said.
"Hmm. Zhan Qingxiao remembered the location and decided to go down to find out.
"What are you doing?" Shi Yu grabbed him.
"Since you're here, let's take a look first. Zhan Qingxiao said.
"No, I only left the Tianshu Abyss yesterday, and the defense at this time is tighter, and you will be caught in the net if you go down. Shi Yu shook his head, signaling that he didn't need to be so anxious.
"It's okay, I have my own way, you just wait for me here. Zhan Qingxiao said, ignoring Shi Yu's dissuasion, and jumped down the cliff.
Seeing Zhan Qingxiao jump down directly, Shi Yu shook his head helplessly, and then jumped down.
"What are you doing here?" Zhan Qingxiao saw that Shi Yu followed, and the two cats were in the grass, Zhan Qingxiao asked in a low voice.
"You're just coming down, what's going on, do you know? Reckless!"
"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own measure. Zhan Qingxiao said.
"Ahh Stop talking nonsense, come with me. Shi Yu glared at him and said angrily.
Shi Yu easily led him to evade the outermost patrol guards and enter the abyss. At this time, as she walked, she whispered: "The one I walked through just now is the outermost part, and the strength of these guards in charge of patrolling is not strong, but if they attack together, ordinary masters of the Yuan Hegemony Period may not be able to defeat them." If they find out, it's basically impossible to get inside. ”
At this time, they came to the edge of a large river, Shi Yu stopped, and pointed to an arrow tower on the other side of the river, the top of which was inlaid with a huge orb, which emitted a bright light. "This is the core of the entire Abyss Cage, and if it is destroyed, the entire Abyss will be plunged into darkness, which can be convenient for you. But we're here today just to check on the situation, so it's better not to sabotage it for the time being. ”
After a pause, he said, "But there is a ninth-order demon beast eight-winged shark hidden in this river, which is the demon pet of He Fenghua, the abyss lord of the Tianshu Abyss, and if you want to destroy that arrow tower, you have to deal with it first." ”
They cautiously continued along the river, ahead of which the mountain stream flowed. "Beneath the mountain stream is the center of the cage, where the star set is held. The last time I came, only He Fenghua, the Lord of the Abyss, was the master of the Yuan Ascension Realm, plus three masters of the Yuan Hegemony Realm. Now it is estimated that the entire abyss knows that someone is preparing to savior the prince, so I don't know how strong the current strength is. Do you want to go in? If you still want to go in, I'm not going in. ”
"Okay, you'll wait for me right here. Zhan Qingxiao put on a black trench coat for himself, and then walked towards the mountain stream.
There was silence inside, Zhan Qingxiao found that there didn't seem to be anyone here, he walked cautiously, the more he walked inside, the more terrifying the silence inside, his feet stepped on the stone, making a slight sound.
"There are so many guards on the outside, it's impossible to have no guards inside, right?" he thought to himself.
At this time, a door appeared in front of him, and the reason why he could see this door was because it was dark under the mountain stream, and next to the door hung a red lantern with two words written on it, "Tianshu".
He walked in slowly, and was about to push the door in, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, which seemed to come from inside the door. He hurriedly hid in the dark next to him, and it didn't take long for the door to be opened, and a man and a woman came out of the door.
"Senior brother, why did Master have to let us come and see it in person once a day. Our Tianshu Abyss is so heavily guarded, even if the master of the Yuan Ascension Realm comes, there is no return, and the master still tells us to be careful. Will anyone come to his rescue?" said the woman, as she walked.
The man said, "Be careful, someone sneaked in last night, maybe it was to save him." ”
"What's this, he's been locked up here for a hundred years, and no one has come to save him, the little thief who came over yesterday is probably to save other people in the abyss, and he went to the wrong place, right?" the woman said with a smile.
"That's what I said, but the master ordered it, so you and I should do it. Although I also wonder very much, why does the Demon Emperor detain a waste prince on our side, which of our abyss twenty-eight is not imprisoned as a felony of the demon clan, and the forces behind each of them are monstrous. Only this waste prince has no power at all, it is simply a waste of our abyss's manpower and material resources. ”
The two talked and walked out. When the sound was getting farther and farther away, Zhan Qingxiao knew that they were far away, so he walked in.
Inside the door was a small attic, and the place where he entered was a courtyard, and on the stone bench in the courtyard lay three cups of tea, but they were still steaming, and it was evident that someone had just sat there talking about it.
"Who are you?" Just as Zhan Qingxiao was looking at the situation in the courtyard, about to find the star set, a voice suddenly sounded.
The voice came from the second floor, and when he looked up, it was a man in a jade-faced brocade robe, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"The Prince of the Star Collection?" Zhan Qingxiao looked up and asked guessingly.
"It's this prince, who are you? You're not from the abyss, how did you get in?" the man asked as he looked at Zhan Qingxiao with a look of confusion.
