The night was dark, and the stars and moon in the sky were dim.

Su Qing sat in the room, holding the letter she had just gotten in her hand, her eyes were a little confused.

After a long time, I heard her lower than say, "Yunfu Heavenly City?"

As a major force on the continent on the other side, the ninth floor will naturally not be left behind in terms of intelligence. There are not many introductions to Yunfu Heavenly City, and only a few words have been recorded. However, it is still known that this place is not under the jurisdiction of any country, and it is said that the person who originally founded this city was once a capable commander under the Xuan Emperor. After the fall of the Four Emperors, the various forces under their command also collapsed in an extremely short period of time, and it is rumored that there is no whereabouts today.

There are not many people on the mainland who know that Luo Jiuheng, the first master of Yunfu Heavenly City, is a person under Emperor Xuan. However, most people know that this city, hidden in the sea of clouds and mist, is the only place in the human world where cultivators are allowed to walk openly. Compared to going elsewhere to hide and not reveal their identities, the disciples of the various sects who entered the world were naturally more willing to go to Yunfu Heavenly City to practice. That's why most of the people in the city know how to do sorcery.

However, although Yunfu Heavenly City is not a place of cultivation, it is also far away from the world like a cultivation sect, and does not interfere in the affairs of various countries, nor does it intend to annex countries and unify the continent by taking advantage of its advantage of almost universal cultivation.

"It's a good thing that Yunfu Heavenly City is willing to send someone to negotiate with Dafu. Why is the landlord still very worried?" Ling Yan picked out the candle flame next to her, cut off the wick and made the candle light brighter a lot. When she turned around, she saw Su Qing's brows furrowed slightly, and it seemed that something annoying was bothering her. So, he also asked with a little doubt. "We can't get the message out of the north now, and we don't know how the Red Princesses and their trip were. The young city lord of Yunfu Heavenly City brought people over, at least he could have a little more protection. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they didn't come here just for the comeback of the demon clan. When Su Qing said this, her voice was a little low, so that Ling Yan didn't hear what she was saying clearly at all.

"What is the landlord talking about?"

"Nothing. Go down and rest first. Miss Shen will come back here soon, so get ready first. ”

When Su Qing said this, Ling Yan had no choice but to nod in response.

After she left, Su Qing stood up and came to the window. By the dim light outside, you can't see much.

After a long time, a white crane flew away from Su Qing's hand and headed in the direction of Guguan Mountain.

As the night deepened, the clouds in the sky began to disperse.

A group of men and horses galloped past under the moonlit night, startling countless birds.

On Guguan Mountain, Shen Yan took the letter from Huahe and unfolded it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, I'm leaving. ”

Bai Zhi was looking for something in the library building, and when he heard Shen Yan's words, he only nodded slightly.

"Be careful. I have already told the City Lord of Yunfu Heavenly City that the Young City Lord will take care of you. However, you still need to forge ahead on your own path of cultivation, and don't think about taking shortcuts. ”

Shen Yan nodded and said, "I know, Master." ”

After answering, she took the bag for storage, said goodbye to Bai Zhi and went down the Guguan Mountain.

The wind and snow had already stopped, and the moonlight was getting brighter.

The group of men and horses that had come galloping finally stopped in the middle of the woods.

The faint sound of a bamboo flute originally seemed to sound in the distance, but at this time, it had indeed reached the ears in an instant, and it could be heard clearly.

The first snowflakes fell, right in the hands of the leader. His whole body was covered in a wide black cloak, but the exposed hand was slender and white, so that the woman would inevitably feel jealous when she saw it.

The snowflakes melted in his palms, and then more and more goose feathers of snow fell from the sky.

The sound of the flute is faint, and the snow is falling. Those who don't know may think that this is a rare and elegant scene, but those who know can see that whether it is the sound of a flute or a snowflake, there is a fierce killing intent hidden underneath.

The young man who started chuckled lightly, and said slowly: "Spring and snow, interesting......" His voice was cold, but with a little mellow, like an ice old wine, both cold to the bone, and a wine cave to hide for thousands of years.

The moonlight fell, shining on the young man's body outlined a shallow silver glow, even if he couldn't see it, it made people give birth for no reason, this is a fairy-like handsome son.

The sound of the flute changed more and more rapidly, and the snowflakes fell more and more rapidly. The crowd behind the young man suddenly had a small commotion.

The sound of the knife coming out of the sheath sounded one after another, and the sharp knife light was layered on top of each other, blocking those snowflakes. But there are also some fish that have slipped through the net, and only the human body is glued to a deep wound that can be seen to the bone.

"Young City Lord ......" I don't know who called like this, the figure of the young man on horseback flickered, and the whole person had disappeared in place.

For a moment, the mournful neighing of the horses before their death drowned out the sound of the flute.

The wind suddenly rose, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be filled with whimpering.

The sharp silver-white sword light broke through all the darkness, and the young man holding the knife finally showed his body again.

When the wind stopped, so did the flute. In the darkness of the shadows of the trees, the smell of blood wafted out.

The young man casually shook off the blood stains on the blade, and said slowly in a cold voice: "That's it." ”

There is clearly no emotion in it, but there is a bit of arrogance and disdain for no reason.

The flying snow that rose with the sound of the flute disappeared as if it had never appeared.

An entourage who was also wearing a black cloak and looked like a teenager from head to toe walked over: "Young City Lord, do you want to continue to set off?"

The young man known as the young city lord raised his head slightly, and a few strands of silver-white hair fell out, and he said a little carelessly: "The horses are almost dead, rest here for one night and leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. The boy bowed his head in reply, turned and joined the others, took out the camping things, and set up a tent with great skill and speed. Some dragged the carcasses of their horses into the forest, while others scattered and guarded the tents they had just set up.

The young city lord entered the tent alone and sat down cross-legged on the couch, but he did not fall asleep immediately.

The night seemed to pass very quickly, and it seemed to be extremely slow.

Shen Yan rushed to Cthulhu City overnight, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the City Lord's Mansion.

The entrance to the City Lord's Mansion is not guarded, but that doesn't mean people can break in at will. Because the entire City Lord's Mansion was wrapped in many barriers, and these barriers were much more powerful than the last time I came.

She had the token given by Su Qing on her body, but she didn't have to touch the barrier and wait for someone to come to interrogate and get permission before she could enter, so she got off the horse and went directly into the gate.

After entering the door, Shen Yan saw the person who took her to the city lord's mansion that night, and when she saw her, the other party's face was slightly surprised. Then he said calmly: "Miss Shen come with me." ”

Shen Yan nodded, and couldn't help but ask on the way: "The last time you were in a hurry, you haven't asked Your Excellency how to call it?"

The man was silent, paused slightly before replying, "Miss Shen just called me to know my heart." ”

Seeing that this person was not a person who liked to talk a lot, Shen Yan did not continue to ask. The two of them went all the way to the study in silence, and Mingxin spoke: "Now the lord of the Su Mansion on the ninth floor is also resident in the city lord's mansion, and he is also discussing important matters with the general at this moment. Miss Shen and go in on her own. ”

He said that he did not intend to go in. It's not that he doesn't have enough status, it's because he has other things to deal with.

Shen Yan didn't hesitate, and after thanking him, he went directly to knock on the door.

The people inside had already heard the movement outside, so General Murong said directly, "Miss Shen, please come in." ”

After Shen Yan entered the door, he saw Su Qing and Murong standing opposite each other in front of the desk, as if they were talking about something. Seeing her coming, Su Qing had a gentle smile on her face: "I received a message from Miss Shen last night, but I never thought that the girl would arrive so soon. ”

Shen Yan said: "I think that there is no place where I can help when I stay in the mountains, but I may be able to contribute a little here." By the way, do you have any news from the red boy who went to deliver the letter?"

Hearing her ask, Su Qing and Murong couldn't help but glance at each other, although they didn't say anything, they were already silent at this time.

Shen Yan's expression also dimmed a little because of this, sometimes maybe the real death is not terrible, what is terrible is that like now, it is impossible to judge whether it is good or bad, whether it is life or death.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart: "But speaking of which, the person who sent the letter is gone, why can those people come and go unharmed?"

As if she suddenly thought of something, she quickly raised her head with a bit of obscurity: "Master Su, General Murong, have you ever thought about those people....... Like the people of Wuyang City, they are already dead?"

"Those people" naturally do not refer to those who do not know their whereabouts, but ordinary people who can come and go unharmed.

Su Qing covered her lips and coughed, and couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows when she heard the words: "But doesn't it mean that the puppets made by the demon can only leave their original place at night? ”

Shen Yan sighed: "I hope this conjecture of mine is wrong." If it's true......." then the situation in the north is very dangerous now.

Murong sat behind the bookcase and said at this time, "Miss Shen, I don't know what happened to you last time, what happened?"

Shen Yan said: "I have already told my ancestor, he said that he would send a message to other sects and send disciples to the world to check the situation." ”

Hearing this, Murong relieved his heart and said, "That's it, it's good." ”

Shen Yan continued: "Before leaving, the ancestor told me that the young city lord of Yunfu Heavenly City brought people to the Dafu Empire, and he will come to the northern border in the near future. Perhaps, it is an opportunity to break the lack of news here. ”

"Oh?" Murong had also heard of Yunfu Heavenly City, and the sadness on his face had faded a lot after hearing this. Compared to the disciples of the cultivation sect who didn't know when they would come, the people of Yunfu Heavenly City, who had already set off, were better able to solve the current dilemma in the north. "If that's the case, that's exactly what the girl said. Wish..... All the best. ”

They were talking about the young city lord of Yunfu Heavenly City, but they didn't know that the person they were talking about had actually arrived in the northern realm.
