Chapter 45: Discovery

When he was awakened by that voice, a chill suddenly appeared on Shen Yan's back.

On the high platform, I don't know when a man in a dark robe appeared, he was wearing a wide cloak, which almost covered most of his face. The only small half of the face that was still exposed was actually covered with a cold mask.

"You, but Le Zhenbi Venerable?" Shen Yan asked cautiously.

The man didn't answer yes or no, but asked, "Little girl, what did you just see among these stars?"

The voice changed again, from the voice of the old man at the beginning, to the clear voice of the young man who later awakened him, and now it became a childish juvenile voice. Intuition told her that these voices were all made by the same person, Shen Yan couldn't help but look at the person on the high platform with some curiosity, and replied, "I saw war in these stars. ”

The old voice sighed: "War, ah......" Then, the young man's warm voice sounded: "Bai Zhi, that kid called you, but what's the matter?"

"Master Ancestor asked me to send a letter to Bizun. Shen Yan said this as she took out the letter that Bai Zhi had given her from her sleeve.

Le Zhen on the high platform just made a gesture of raising his hand, and the letter that was originally in Shen Yan's hand had already reached his hand. The faint blue flames suddenly burned the letter, and above Le Zhen's palm, golden words appeared and disappeared.

Although Shen Yan couldn't see if Le Zhen's expression had changed at this moment, he could clearly feel that his aura had changed. From the original lazy, it has become dignified now.

She couldn't help but start to guess in her heart what Bai Zhi had written in that letter.

"Really...... Eventful, ......" in just one sentence, Le Zhen changed his voice three times.

Shen Yan stood quietly below, not asking anything.

After a long time, Le Zhen said to her: "I already understand the meaning of Bai Zhi. Little girl doll, if you want, you can stay in the Buddha fairy wall for a few more days, if you don't want to, then leave here. ”

"Thank you. I have been delayed for a long time when I came out of this trip, and now that the letter has been delivered, it is time to go back to Guguan Mountain. Shen Yan arched his hand to Le Zhen on the high platform, and did not intend to stay.

Le Zhen waved his hand, and he didn't intend to keep the guests.

Shen Yan was about to turn around and leave, when he saw Le Zhen suddenly appear beside him, he couldn't help but be startled.

When he looked closer, he found that the mask on Le Zhen's face was very terrifying, but he himself did not have this self-realization. He got a little closer and asked in a young voice, "Little girl, how did you come to Bai Zhi's disciple?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and paused for a moment before lowering his eyebrows and replied: "The master took pity on me alone, so he accepted me as an apprentice on behalf of the master and taught me the immortal gate spell." ”

The young man's laughter sounded, and then the old man's voice said: "Bai Zhi's kid is cold-hearted, but he doesn't have this heart of pity and pity. ...... Go ahead. ”

After that, Le Zhen's figure suddenly dissipated like a cloud of smoke.

Shen Yan didn't understand why he suddenly said this, but the person had already left, and he could only leave from here.

When he arrived at the nameless ferry again, Shen Yan found that there were many fewer people here than before. The middle-aged Xiushi who led the way earlier was still sitting in the dilapidated tea house, and when he saw her, he smiled slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Seeing this, Shen Yan, who originally planned to go up to say hello, also dismissed his original plan, nodded his jaw far away in response, and then took the ferry and left here.

When I came, I was still a little nervous because I came with a task, but now that the task is complete, I can't help but feel a lot more relaxed when I go back.

Shen Yan was worried about the affairs of Wuyang City, worried about Meng Fuyao's safety, and when he went back, he deliberately detoured to the stronghold that Su Qing had told him before.

When I arrived outside Wuyang City, it was just nightfall. Compared to the last time I saw it, there were a lot of wooden fences, camps, etc., but strangely, this huge place, even the campfire for lighting was still jumping, but it was empty and there was no human figure.

Such a scene made Shen Yan's heart feel a little strange. It is said that even if Cthulhu City withdraws its troops, there should still be people on the ninth floor. And if the matter of Wuyang City has been resolved, then the camp here should also be withdrawn. But the current situation is that there are still traces of people in the camp who seem to be inhabited, and there are less than half a figure.

After thinking about it, Shen Yan decided to take the risk and go to Wuyang City to check it out. But before leaving, I couldn't help but hesitate. The last experience is still vivid, at that time, it was the red peony who helped in the end to bring Meng Fuyao out safely, and now although he went in alone, who knows what the situation is in Wuyang City now? In such a short period of half a month, she can't become very powerful, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the whole body at that time......

"But if you don't go and see, how do you know what's going on here?" Shen Yan muttered, and finally chose to go to Wuyang City.

It's a big deal, just take a look at the periphery, and leave immediately if the situation is not right.

Thinking so, Shen Yan finally chose to leave for Wuyang City. And as she got closer to Wuyang City, the more she could feel that the demonic aura was beginning to become a lot stronger.

The stars and moon in the sky were completely covered by dark clouds, and they could still shine brightly on the earth before, but at this moment, there was no light at all.

Shen Yan couldn't, so he could only summon a few spiritual fires around him. But not for lighting, but to dispel those cold demonic energy.

"It wasn't so strong last time, why is it like this now?"

Shen Yan asked to himself, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Meng Fuyao of the Nine Yin Body.

According to Red Peony, the movement of the demon clan was restricted at the beginning because it was able to break free from the shackles by drinking Meng Fuyao's Nine Yin blood, and then turning all the people of Wuyang City into puppets. And there was no such powerful demonic aura here, but now it has become so strong, could it be that something happened to Meng Fuyao?

If it really happened to Meng Fuyao again, it would be troublesome.

There are red peonies, Su Qing and they are protecting them, but there is still an accident, which can only show that the demon clan has a new boost.

Shen Yan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he was still careful to hide his breath.

landed on the west gate of Wuyang City, and completely hid himself under the cover of night. Shen Yan even subconsciously relaxed his breathing a lot.

A cold night breeze hung and shook the banner above the tower. The night was supposed to be the time for those demon puppets to act, but at this moment, not to mention that the city gate was empty, even the streets below were empty.

It's like an empty city. Or rather, like a dead city. Quietly, except for the sound of the wind blowing, there was silence and there was no other sound.

The demonic aura in the city was already so thick that it was visible to the naked eye, and Shen Yan didn't dare to continue to move forward, but hid on the city gate tower, looking at everything below condescendingly.

After a long time, she chose to leave instead of entering the city.

Out of the range shrouded by the demonic aura of Wuyang City, the bright moon in the sky also showed traces. Shen Yan took advantage of the moonlight to rush to the nearby Cthulhu City overnight, which was much more martial law than when he came here a few times before, and the city gate that had not been closed all night before was closed without knowing when it was closed, and the patrol guards who came and went on the city tower were more than twice as many as before.

Before dawn, Shen Yan could only hide his figure with the help of the immortal gate spell, and crossed the city wall and entered the city.

Inside, it was the same as guessed, originally there would be three or four people hanging outside for various reasons at this time, but at this time, there were only six soldiers in armor, patrolling in a staggered manner. It turned out that there were still some small shops and a few relatively large inns and other merchants were still open at this time, but at this moment, every household was locked with the door, and even in the land of wind and moon, only a few lights were shining faintly, and it was extremely deserted.

Shen Yan disappeared and was not discovered by the patrolling soldiers, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked to see such changes along the way.

With the door closed, she headed for the ninth floor's stronghold in the city. Before she knew that she had not gone far, someone suddenly shouted at her: "Hiding with someoneβ€”"

Shen Yan was startled in his heart, and suddenly felt a sharp sword light flying towards him.

She hurriedly pinched the trick to resist, but it exposed her figure from this. In a matter of moments, the patrolling soldiers all gathered around, forming a human wall with shields and bows and arrows, and surrounded her in the center.

This is not something that Shen Yan cares about, what she cares about is the person who has seen through her hidden spell.

It was also a soldier in armor, but judging from the behavior of the people around him when he appeared, and the extremely respectful attitude on his face, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary soldier. He doesn't look very old, but he is actually very powerful and dangerous.

"Cultivator?" the man looked at Shen Yan for a long time before he asked, "Who are you, why did you break into the city at this moment?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and said, "My name is Shen Yan." I missed the time because I was in a hurry......"

"Are you Shen Yan?" the man didn't wait for her to finish, then asked again with a frown. Then he waved his hand and told the soldiers to disperse and continue their patrol. He turned to Shen Yan and said, "You come with me." ”

The last place the man took her to was the City Lord's Mansion at the end of the Cloud and Street.

He stepped forward to say something to the guards guarding the door, but Shen Yan didn't pay attention to listen, and then heard him say to himself, "Let's go." ”

Shen Yan nodded, and when he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he understood why this person could see through her spells.

There is a protective barrier in the city lord's mansion, which means that there are people who know how to spell, and their strength is not low. The reason why that person was able to see through her concealment method was probably because he was also a cultivator. However, she failed to see the depth of him.

At first glance, it seemed as if the man was just a relatively powerful ordinary person.

Bai Zhi once said that the more powerful the cultivation, the more ordinary the person, this is the so-called return to the basics. But could it be that this person has already reached the realm of returning to the basics at a young age?

Shen Yan had one question after another in his heart, but seeing that the person in front of him had been silent all the way, he didn't ask too much.

Just thinking to himself, the person in front of him had stopped and said, "It's here." ”

Shen Yan looked up and asked, "Where is this?"

The man said, "The city lord's study." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and without being told, he pushed open the door of the study directly.

Seeing that his attitude had changed, Shen Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still followed.
