Chapter 689: Five

Luo Zhen didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but sat down and motioned for Xue Yun to sit opposite him before he spoke: "I don't know much about this matter, but after living in the city all these years, I have somewhat understood the style of some city lords and deacons, in my opinion, most of our actions this time are just a temptation of the Barbarian Shadow Clan, and the danger is either very small or great!"

"How do you say this?" Xue Yun frowned, and immediately asked puzzled.

Hearing Xue Yun's question, Luo Zhen did not answer immediately, but took out a chessboard, grabbed a handful of black seeds and scattered them on it, and took out five white pieces, but they did not fall on the chessboard in his hand. After doing this, he spoke slowly: "If you are given the opportunity to take down five sons in a row, anyone can easily eat any of the sunspots scattered among them, just like the five of us in this operation can surprise the Barbarian Shadow Clan monks in a certain area at any time." ”

After saying this, he dropped the five sons, lifted one of the white sons, and then continued: "If it is according to the way of chess, it is naturally impossible to play five sons in a row, so it can also be said that the tradition of having monks of two clans patrolling every area in the border has also broken the rules by our appearance, just as the five sons in a row have broken the rules of the way of chess. And since my white side doesn't follow the rules, what will happen to the black side?"

Xue Yun couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice: "Heizi naturally won't follow the rules, either attack the patrolling monks in the area like us, or directly send experts to surround and suppress our five rule-breaking people!"

Luo Zhen's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "That's right! If it's the former, it's just that the two sides are stabbing each other with sharp knives, and we naturally won't be in any big danger as sharp knives." But if it's the latter, it's very likely that we'll go from hunters to prey. Even being guarded by the other party is naturally extremely dangerous. ”

"Since the seniors have already thought about the stakes, why do you still want to be the captain of this squad that is likely to become the target of public criticism at a critical moment?" Xue Yun sighed lightly, thinking deeply, but then looked at Luo Zhendao with a puzzled expression.

"Although I think of the pros and cons, I can imagine that if you were in my position, I would naturally agree. Our Ascended Monks are already ostracized by some native monks in the Spirit Realm because of their superior treatment. Although they are treated equally in the eyes of the deacon and the city lord, such ethereal beings are still a minority after all, and although the other Yinyuan monks may not reject us, they still keep their distance after all, and there are few deep friendships. Because of this, if you want to seek a better future and a way out in the city, in addition to the fundamental way of improving cultivation, you still have to make some merits after all, and although this matter is dangerous. But the truth of wealth and danger is best understood by us Ascended Monks, and naturally we are not afraid. Moreover, when it really came to the most critical time, under the full force of escaping, it would not be lifeless, after all, the other party would at most send a larger number of Yinyuan monks to encircle and suppress us, and it was absolutely impossible for the ethereal existence to make a move. In the final analysis, the deacon of this city will not ignore it, and it is definitely enough to contain the existence of the other party's peers. ”

Luo Zhen played with the black and white on the chessboard with his left hand, but his expression was solemn. When he spoke, his voice was quite low, and it was obvious that the words were quite relaxed. It can be seen that he is also a little worried about the prospects of this mission after all.

"Since you and I have already agreed to this, there is no need to worry about it now. Xue Yun also looked at the chessboard, and said helplessly after a while.

Luo Zhen nodded when he heard this, and said with a slightly wry smile: "I didn't expect that in the end, it became you to enlighten me, which is really something I didn't expect before." But since you're here, why don't you talk about it and then go back. Anyway, there are three days of preparation time, and it is not bad to come to Daoyou for a few hours. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yun had no intention of objecting, and immediately stopped mentioning this special operation with Luo Zhen, and played black and white.

Two hours later. Xue Yun, who had already returned to the cave, sat cross-legged on the futon, and looked inward under the pinching of his hands. The next moment, with his right hand, three Yuan Light Bullets emitting a faint white light suddenly appeared in his hand, and its aura was strong enough to be comparable to the full force of a monk in the early stage of the Yuan Introduction!

"Originally, these three should be enough for ordinary tasks, but now it seems that I am afraid it is far from enough!" Xue Yun frowned slightly, and sighed lightly after sweeping his eyes over the three Yuan Light Bullets.

According to what Luo Zhen said before, if he encountered the bad situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the Barbarian Shadow Clan, I am afraid that the three Yuan Light Bullets would not be able to play an effective role under the siege of many Barbarian Shadow Clan monks. As for other means, Xue Yun couldn't think of any other way that could work other than the Imperial Road Sword at the bottom of the box.

"It seems that if you only want to live a stable life in the spirit world, it is indeed much easier than the human world, but if you want to improve your cultivation and aim to ascend to the fairy world, you still can't avoid the bloody wind and rain after all. ”

Xue Yun sighed lightly, and gradually prepared mentally in his heart, and after resting for two days, he went to the spire where the city lord Han Xiao was on the third day, and naturally Luo Zhen, who was a close neighbor, went with him. However, when Xue Yun really entered the spire and saw the other three of the five, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

Among the other three people, two of them were people Xue Yun had seen. One of these two people was Zheng Ying, who was also a Ascended Monk and was extremely lethargic on weekdays, while the other was Qin Ning, who had sensed Xue Yun's hostility when he first came to the Ancient City of Han. As for the only person among the three who has not seen it, it is a middle-aged man with a thin body and a withered face, his eyes are blank, and he has a dry cough all the time.

Among these five people, except for Xue Yun, they were all early stage cultivators. In this way, Xue Yun in the late stage of the Dugu Transformation God was extremely eye-catching, and even the sickly middle-aged man looked over after Xue Yun's eyes flashed when he stepped into the spire, and he looked very interested in Xue Yun.

However, what really surprised Xue Yun was actually Zheng Ying, this person was actually in good spirits this time, which really surprised Xue Yun and made him feel disgusted in his heart. Of course, even if he thought so in his heart, Xue Yun would not show it, and after stepping into the door, he and Luo Zhen stood up with their hands tied, waiting for Han Xiao, who was sitting at the top, to give an order.
