Although there are still ten days to go before the festival, the city of Baiwei, located in the heart of the central province of the Tania Empire, has already begun to come alive.

Walking on the bustling street, looking at the shops on both sides of the street with colorful lights and many festive decorations, as well as the smiling crowd filled with a festive atmosphere, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but sigh, quite a feeling of returning to the civilized world.

Compared to Black Flame Island, which is full of dilapidated buildings and fierce people, the central administrative city of the Tania Empire is undoubtedly much more prosperous.

Brother Yao Qian walked beside him left and right, his face had already changed his appearance, even if he was extremely familiar with someone close to him, he couldn't recognize the two of them face to face at this time.

Lin Lichuan was the same, before leaving Heiyan Island, he used the mirror he got from the Qiming Sect to change his appearance, and the reproduced appearance was an ordinary homeless man on the island.

The trio then left Black Flame Island and traveled to Baiwei City as full citizens of the Tania Empire.

During the festival, tourists from all over the empire came to worship the city, and the three of them mixed in and looked inconspicuous.

While watching the flow of people in the surrounding street scene with great interest, Lin Lichuan and Yao Qian's brothers strolled forward, and unconsciously came to an extremely wide square.

In front of the entrance stands a huge stone monument, on which the four characters 'Central Square' are carved in the font of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

The central square is the largest square in Baiwei City, backed by the Royal Palace, facing the entire Baiwei City, the square is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops, and the long streets on both sides are extremely wide, all paved with strong and flat cyan stone slabs, enough for five or six cars to drive side by side.

At this time, countless heavily armed Imperial soldiers were stationed around the square, surrounding the entire central square, and many tourists were stopped outside, and they could only look at the square from afar.

"Ten days later, the festival will be held in the central square, where the First Prince as regent will preside over the ceremony, and all the princes, princesses, and nobles will be present, including Brocker, who is the Marquis and head of the Royal Legion. Yao Qian looked at the central square casually and said in a very low voice.

Lin Lichuan nodded imperceptibly.

Like ordinary tourists, the three of them stopped in front of the square to watch for a while, and then turned to leave.

As soon as he returned to the street, a car slowly drove from far and near, stopped on the side of the three, followed by a well-dressed old man with frosty sideburns but looking energetic, like a housekeeper, stepped down from the driver's seat, quickly came to Lin Lichuan and the three, bowed slightly, and said softly in a respectful voice:

"The three gentlemen, the contemptible man is Sanche, the steward of the Manches family, and at the behest of the head of the family, Viscount Manchez, he has come to greet the three of them as they go to the mansion. ”

Facing the old man who appeared suddenly, Yao Qian and Yao Bing nodded as usual, as if they had expected it, exchanged glances with Lin Lichuan, and went straight to the car.

Lin Lichuan's expression moved slightly, and he followed into the car without saying a word.

The car was very spacious, more than enough for three people to sit in the back seat, and when they got into the car, Sanche also returned to the driver's seat neatly, restarted the car, and drove forward without slowing down.

Lin Lichuan had made up the map here before coming to Baiwei City, and quickly recognized from the change in the scenery outside that the direction of the vehicle was the aristocratic district.

"Speaking of which, the name Manches seems familiar. Lin Lichuan's eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly remembered that among the six members of the Black Flame Council, it seemed that one of them had a surname named Manches, and his full name was Tybal Manches.

As if he had guessed Lin Lichuan's thoughts, Yao Gan beside him suddenly said loudly: "Taibal is the grandfather of this Manches family master, the Manchester family has been a glorious marquis family for more than 20 years, but it was only affected by the seizure of the throne that year, although it was not wiped out, but it was also deprived of the title of hereditary marquis, and it was defeated." ”

Yao Qian didn't avoid Sanche in the driver's seat at all, and continued to himself: "Over the years on Black Flame Island, the council has been secretly in contact with the Manchester family, and a lot of information has also been transmitted to Black Flame Island through the hands of the Manchester family. ”

"I see. ”

Lin Lichuan suddenly shook his head, but his heart was bright, the Black Flame Council must have other more powerful help in the empire, at least the emperor is terminally ill, and there is not much time for this kind of extremely secret information, it must not be something that a mere viscount family can inquire about.

It's just that he has no interest in this, so Wen Yan just nodded slightly, and has no intention of delving into it.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the aristocratic quarter, and then stopped in front of a rather spacious aristocratic courtyard.

There were already servants waiting at the door, and when Lin Lichuan and Yao Qian got out of the car, they immediately led them to the courtyard and into a luxuriously decorated three-story mansion.

Subsequently, Yao Qian and Yao Bing went to meet the owner of the mansion, Viscount Manches, and Lin Lichuan walked straight towards the accommodation arranged for him by the Manches family.

It didn't take long for Yao Qian and Yao Bing to come back, and Lin Lichuan raised his head and cast an inquiring glance at the two.

Yao Qian shook his head: "The city is calm now, and the three princes and princesses have not made any movement. ”

"Is there calm before the storm. Lin Lichuan shrugged, "What are you going to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Yao Qian muttered: "We can only wait patiently, once there is any movement in the city, the Manchester family will notify us immediately." ”

"Also, just in case, the three of us will be accompanied by Viscount Manchez's bodyguards during the festival. ”

Lin Lichuan nodded and said that he had no opinion, if there was turmoil in a special festival like a festival, it might be a good time to do it, and they would naturally be present.

"In other words, there's nothing going on now?" Lin Lichuan looked at Yao Qian and the two.

"You're going out?"

"It's rare to come to Baiwei City, and it's the time of the festival, so I'm going to go outside and have a look. Lin Lichuan chuckled.

To be honest, after staying on Black Flame Island for almost half a year, he also felt bored, and now that he has returned to the 'civilized world', of course, he should be relieved.

Yao Qian thought about it, and didn't stop Lin Lichuan, but just said 'keep in touch'.

Ten minutes later, Lin Lichuan had returned to the city in front of the central square, found a restaurant, tasted an authentic Tania meal, and then leisurely wandered the streets.

The long-lost urban street scene soothed his mood.

However, as he walked around, Lin Lichuan's mind gradually turned back to his own cultivation.

After deciding to use the ghost path as a breakthrough point to deal with the void clone, he immediately implemented it, and the effect was not bad, he had been able to firmly gain the upper hand in the last few battles, if it weren't for the two-minute duration limit, he would have defeated the void clone long ago.

Even so, it was foreseeable that it would not be long before he could master the void.

"Once you've mastered the void, it's time to draw the Slashing Sword. ”

While increasing the spiritual pressure, the void can also greatly increase the strength, speed, and reflexes, so the best match with it is the direct attack slashing sword.

Although the power of slashing knives such as Ice Wheel Pill or Senbon Sakura will also increase due to the surge of spiritual pressure after being blurred, it is still the slashing swords that can maximize their effectiveness and strengthen their physical fitness.

"However, although there are a lot of direct attack slashing knives that strengthen the body, most of them are dragon slashing knives, and the better ones are the two slashing moon and wild sun, which are not easy to draw. Lin Lichuan thought casually.

Before leaving Black Flame Island and coming to the Tania Empire, he absorbed and transformed all the meteorite stones collected by the Lingling Court, and used it until now that there were only 120 polycrystals left, excluding the consumption of the next exchange for the Shadow Invasion Medicine, as well as the amount left for backup just in case, he would draw three or four times at most.

If you want to draw your favorite slashing knife three or four times, you can only do it when Ren Yanan is still there.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

Suddenly, Lin Lichuan suddenly missed the lively girl a little.

"When it's time here, I'll take the time to go to Guanglan Academy to take a look at her. ”

"And my aunt and Meng Xiaotong, too. ”

With all his thoughts flowing, Lin Lichuan had already walked around and returned to the aristocratic area.

When he took out his phone and looked at it, he saw that it was almost 12 o'clock, so he didn't look back, but continued to walk forward, preparing to return to the Manchez Mansion.

The aristocratic district is the most secure residential area except for the palace area where the royal family lives, and there are sheriffs patrolling 24 hours a day, but Lin Lichuan has not encountered anyone along the way, and the whole street is unusually quiet.

Under the bright moonlight, the tall birches on both sides of the road cast long shadows on the ground, and from a distance, there was a sense of demons dancing wildly, for Lin Lichuan now, walking such a night road certainly would not make him feel afraid.

The lights of a car came from behind, Lin Lichuan didn't look back, his footsteps turned and walked to the side of the road, more than ten seconds later, two cars drove quickly from the middle of the road, and in the blink of an eye, they went dozens of meters away.

At this time, several birch trees on the road in front of them suddenly fell down and were blocking in the middle of the road, one of which happened to hit the hood of the first car, and forced the two cars to stop together, and finally the car was even more unable to slow down, and directly hit the butt of the car in front.

"What's going on?"

Dozens of meters away, Lin Lichuan could hear bursts of exclamations from inside the car.

Several big men in black suits then hurriedly got out of the car, and were about to go up to check, when suddenly they heard a piercing sound of breaking the air, and looked sideways, and what caught their eyes was a flying axe flying like locusts shining in the dark night.
