Chapter 22: Meeting the City Lord

"I'm tired of informing you that there is a brother from the Ninth Order Boxer realm who wants to join the army. Lao Wu said to the gatekeeper at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The sergeant glanced at Xu Xiao beside Lao Wu, and couldn't help asking, "Old Wu, the brother of the ninth-order boxer realm in your mouth should be the kid next to you, right?" In his opinion, Xu Xiao in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and if he said that he had reached the realm of a ninth-order boxer, it was unconvincing.

Lao Wu couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, you can't make a mistake, can the one introduced from me be fake?"

"Since Brother Wu has said so, it shouldn't be wrong, I'll go in and report to the city lord now, you wait a while. The gatekeeper nodded, and then turned and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

When Lao Wu saw the man turn to leave, he said to Xu Xiao: "Don't worry too much, after all, there are indeed very few people at your age who have reached such a state, and it is normal for him to have suspicions." ”

Xu Xiao shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Brother, I can understand it, but I don't take it to heart. In fact, Xu Xiao thought in his heart: "The more I can't see my strength, the better, and in the future, when I go to this battlefield, I can fish in troubled waters." ”

The two of them waited at the gate of the city lord's mansion, and after a while, the soldier guarding the gate just now ran out and said to the two, "The city lord let you in." ”

"Okay, thank you brother, let's go, little brother. Lao Wu said and led Xu Xiao to the city lord's mansion.

"It's really rare to see a ninth-order boxer at such an age, if I can also reach the realm of a ninth-order boxer, I can become a general in the cold city, ......right?"

"Little brother, when you see the city lord in a while, you have to be respectful. The city lord is in the realm of breaking the body, and he is also a disciple of the Qingxiao Pavilion, a famous immortal cultivator, so be careful when you speak. Lao Wu took Xu Xiao to walk in the city lord's mansion, and couldn't help reminding Xu Xiao again.

"Don't worry, brother, I have my own measure. Xu Xiao nodded yes, and after a while, the two of them came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"The two of you are waiting here, and the city lord will arrive in a moment. The maid on the side stood up at this moment and greeted Lao Wu and Xu Xiaodao. Looking at this strict order and complicated rules, it made Xu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.

"Let's wait here, it is estimated that the city lord is arranging tomorrow's battle at this time, don't be impatient. Lao Wu said in a low voice.

Xu Xiao didn't speak, just stood in the hall with Lao Wu and waited, about half a pillar of incense, a middle-aged man wearing battle armor was transferred out of the cabinet, only to see the man in silver armor and green robe, his eyes were like stars, and there was a trace of heroism between his eyebrows.

Sure enough, he has the demeanor of a general, this is Xu Xiao's first impression when he sees this city lord. The city lord saw Xu Xiao and the others and said lightly: "Old Wu, this person next to you is the person you recommend?"

When Lao Wu saw that the city lord asked him, he replied: "Back to the city lord, it is this person." When he was at the Ice Spirit City Gate, he had tested it in the next place, and the strength of this ghost servant little brother was afraid that he had already reached the peak realm of a ninth-order boxer. Lao Wu didn't hide it, but told the fact.

"Oh, how can you have such an achievement at such a young age?" The city lord also looked incredulous, and immediately asked: "Little brother ghost servant, can you show me your strength, if it is really like what Lao Wu said, then I will make you the vanguard general of my Ice Spirit City." ”

As soon as Xu Xiao heard this, he knew that this city lord was going to test Xu Xiao's true strength. didn't say much at the moment, but just said: "Since the city lord has the heart to test me, if I don't show some skills, I'm afraid that the city lord will be underestimated." Xu Xiao said, the true yuan in his body was running rapidly, and a majestic aura filled the entire hall.

"Good boy, I still have a hand, but I'm afraid that this kid's true strength has far surpassed me. Have you reached the realm of foundation building? My old Wu also has a time to look away. Lao Wu felt this majestic breath and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, the city lord was also shocked in his heart, such a young boy actually had the cultivation of the foundation building realm, but he looked away, and immediately said to Xu Xiao with a smile: "It's okay, little brother, I didn't expect you to hide your breath, even if I couldn't see your true strength, if you go to the battlefield in the future, it will be a real surprise for those two families." ”

"The city lord has an overreputation, how can these carving insect skills of the younger generation compare to the magic power of the city lord?" Xu Xiao accepted the true yuan and said respectfully towards the ice spirit city lord.

"You kid can talk, you can tell me why you came to my Ice Spirit City to join the army, instead of going to Namo City, or Ice Lotus City. The Ice Spirit City Lord sat down on the City Lord's chair and asked Xu Xiao.

"Lord City Lord, this little brother has just arrived, I don't think there is any malicious intent, why is Lord City Lord asking so much?" Old Wu on the side said cautiously, for fear that one accidentally would anger the city lord.

The Ice Spirit City Lord shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll ask this little brother again, Old Wu, it doesn't seem to be asking you anything, right?" Although there was a smile on the face of the Ice Spirit City Lord, there was no hint of joke in that voice.

"Yes, yes, the lord of the city is a villain. Old Wu replied resignedly, seeing that the city lord's words had a cold chill, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Xu Xiao smiled and said: "I understand what the city lord means, first check my strength, and now ask me about my intention, I'm afraid that the city lord will treat me as the person who is in the opposite world, right?" With my strength, if I really want to be a spy, when Brother Wu led me into the city, I could have slaughtered the people in the city, so why wait until now and become a prisoner of the city lord?

After hearing this, the Ice Spirit City Lord not only did not have the slightest anger, but clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, good, good boy, you can stay." It's just that I still want to know, why on earth are you hiding your strength?"

Seeing this, Lao Wu was also relieved, but he didn't expect his worries to become superfluous, it was really a false alarm.

Xu Xiao thought about it, and finally said, "I wonder if the city lord has ever heard of the sect of the Blood Sword Hall?"

When the Ice Spirit City Lord heard the three words of the Blood Sword Hall, he couldn't help but light up, he naturally knew the name of the Blood Sword Hall, ranking second only to the three famous mansions of cultivating immortals, but because of his somewhat disgraceful life, he was not able to be called the three famous mansions.

"I've heard of this place, what's the matter? Doesn't it have anything to do with them?" the Ice Spirit City Lord asked curiously.

Xu Xiao didn't hide it, nodded and said: "That's right, I killed a disciple of the Blood Sword Hall a few months ago, and just yesterday the people from the Blood Sword Hall found me again to avenge that person." The boy was unprepared, but fell under the spell of one of them, calling it the Heart-Eater Spell. It is said to be a spell that can control people's minds, I wonder if the lord of the castle knows a thing or two?"

When he heard the word Mind Devouring Mantra, the Ice Spirit City Lord's face couldn't help but change color and said, "Little brother, is this true?"

Xu Xiao nodded, and didn't say much, and the old Wu on the side showed a confused look on his face, and it seemed that he didn't understand this heart devouring spell.

The Ice Spirit City Lord walked over from the City Lord's chair and pressed it on Xu Xiao's Xuanyang Heart Vein, and a True Yuan in his body entered Xu Xiao's body for detection, and when his True Yuan touched the True Yuan of the mysterious red-clothed woman's Heart Devouring Mantra, it immediately disappeared.

After feeling that unusual true element, the Ice Spirit City Lord couldn't help but say solemnly: "Sure enough, it is the true yuan of the people of the Blood Sword Hall, little brother, this heart devouring spell is indeed as you said, when it explodes, it will control people's minds and make people turn into a murderous demon, I think the little brother should hurry to the Heavenly Destiny Master in the city to solve this kind of thing." ”

Xu Xiao listened, but he was not in a hurry and said: "City Lord, don't panic, if it is really according to what the person said that day, there are still two days before the outbreak time of this Heart Devouring Mantra, but now I don't know about entering the army, how will the City Lord deal with it?"

The Ice Spirit City Lord is not such an unreasonable person, the previous guess was just the vigilance of the city lord, but this is good for Xu Xiao, after all, a reasonable person is easier to communicate than an unreasonable person, right?

Hearing this, the Ice Spirit City Lord smiled and said: "Little brother, don't think about it, what I said to the little brother just now is actually just a test for the little brother, little brother should not take it to heart." If I have the chance, I would like to be the same as my little brother. Now I have appointed you as the vanguard general, and to-morrow I will be able to lead a large army to battle Meaux. ”

The cold city lord paused, and then said in a low voice: "It's better to get rid of the Heart Devouring Curse in the little brother's body as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble when the time comes." ”

Xu Xiao nodded, and said to the Ice Spirit City Lord: "City Lord, don't worry, after a while, I will go to the city with Brother Wu to find the Heavenly Destiny Master to check the Heart Devouring Spell in my body." ”

"In that case, Lao Wu, you will take this ghost servant little brother to go first, I still have something to do, and I will talk in the evening." With that, the Ice Spirit City Lord turned around and entered the cabinet.

Lao Wu looked at the back and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm scared to death, I thought that the city lord was going to treat you as a fine work, let's go, let's go, I'll take you to the Heavenly Destiny Master in the city, it sounds like that thing in your body is quite troublesome?"

Xu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said undeniably: "Who knows? After that, the two of them walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and went to the Ice Spirit City to look for the so-called Heavenly Destiny Master.
