Chapter 108: Imperial Crisis
Chapter 108: Imperial Crisis
Huangshigang is two thousand miles away from Zhennan City, and the distance is not very far at the speed of Lei Ling and Li Batian.
Xiaolong and the demon ape are too eye-catching, and they hide in Lei Ling's arms on weekdays, so as not to be discovered and cause trouble. The world is too troubled, and the root cause of the sins comes from this. Lei Ling was extremely low-key, but at this time, he was already well-known in the Tianyuan Continent.
As soon as the road of immortality happened, his deeds were spread and caused quite a stir. The seizure of the Immortal Grass from the hands of the True Dragon, many people are secretly discovering about it.
Li Batian admired Lei Ling's courage and ability very much, and the two fought side by side this time, which made Li Batian leave a deep impression on Lei Ling. The two talked as they walked forward, and the journey no longer seemed so boring.
"The Immortal Road has been coming out for two months, and too many things have happened in the Tian Yuan Continent! It's worrying!" Lei Ling let out a long sigh, this time he was ordered by his master to come out and collect eight tears. Lei Ling recalled it seriously, and wanted to ask Li Batian for words, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The master only said seven kinds of tears to himself at that time, but what about the eighth? Why didn't he say it? Could it be that he was confused? Misremembered? Lei Ling shook his head and silently said in his heart: Joy, anger, sorrow, resentment, hatred. Seven is right, Lei Ling frowned and pondered.
Could it be that the eighth kind of tears was a test given to him by the master? Could it be that he hoped that he would temper himself more and gain more insights in the vast world? Thinking of this, Lei Ling secretly acquiesced to his conjecture.
"Brother Lei Ling, it's really rare that you have this heart. I think I am a great country in the Beacon Dynasty, but there are few loyalties, and those princes and generals who have some strength are all based on one side and intend to occupy an area as the king. Li Batian looked up to the sky and sighed.
Unexpectedly, this prince was still so worried about the country and the people, Lei Ling said: "There are countless masters of the Beacon Fire Dynasty, and those princes and generals are still not obedient and sincere, Brother Li don't have to worry, your Beacon Dynasty has a deep heritage, even the two superpowers of Jiuxia and War Dance dare not do anything to you, what can those princes do?"
Li Batian frowned, his brows tightened, and he said: "The real reason why I will travel this time is that my father asked me to convey the news! But in order to hide people's eyes, I pretended to come out to suppress the demon!"
Lei Ling was shocked in his heart, could it be that the Beacon Fire Dynasty was really about to undergo a big change?
Li Batian said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the man in black who appeared on the Immortal Road once appeared in the major countries and the major ancestors, and the way that man in black came was very mysterious and demagogic. Presumably everything that happened during this time has something to do with him!"
Lei Ling was shocked, and his heart fluctuated. According to the calculation of time, it was impossible for Jiuyao to appear in the Immortal Road, because he had appeared all over the Tian Yuan Continent. But at that time, the Gate of Heaven had been closed, how did he enter the path of immortality?
Lei Ling was shocked in his heart, and was silent for a while before asking, "Brother Li, what do you mean by the man in black?"
"It's him! This person is very good at inciting people's hearts, and if it weren't for the suppression of my father, I'm afraid that all the princes would have rebelled that day!" Li Batian said in a deep voice.
Lei Ling nodded, Jiu Yao knew how to use the means, from his design to exchange the blades of the immortal grass from his own hands, and put himself in the trap of the powerful forces. At this point, Lei Ling can be sure that Jiu Yao's wrists are all over the sky, I'm afraid he has come up with something very tempting to deceive people's hearts!
Lei Ling secretly guessed, but the matter was probably not as simple as he thought, Lei Ling asked in a deep voice: "Brother Li, the current situation is so unclear, do you know what the purpose of the Jiuyao Diagram is?"
Li Batian shook his head and said: "He only instigated contradictions from all sides, but did not win people's hearts, it is difficult to judge what his plans are!"
As a result, Lei Ling was even more distressed, and he didn't know what Jiu Yao was planning.
The two talked as they walked, and time flew by. Zhennan City is imminent, and both of them stopped discussing and entered the city more low-key. Li Batian traveled in civilian clothes, and not many people knew him.
The guards guarding the gate checked them one by one, and then let the two into the city. During this time, the investigation was strict everywhere, for fear that suspicious characters would enter the city and cause chaos.
The Beacon Dynasty has come to such an end, and the country is in danger, which is really unbelievable.
Lei Ling said while leading the way: "I'm afraid there are still powerful characters sitting there in the Spring Festival Villa, let's investigate it later, don't rush to make a move!"
Li Batian nodded, and the two walked towards the Spring Festival Garden.
Approaching the Spring Festival Garden, I saw a child standing at the door, about eight years old. The body is slightly chubby, with a fleshy face, bright red cheeks, and a handful of hair on the top of the head.
On the child's shoulder sat a little fox, with a snow-white coat and sparkling eyes. The child was greeting a girl from the Chunxiao Farewell Garden at this time, and his tone was old, which did not match his age at all.
"Little girl, how about a drink with my grandfather today?" the child squinted at the girl and smiled evilly.
"Little hairy boy, you're here to tease Miss Ben again, see if I don't pull you in today!" The girl made an angry look, but her voice could get tired of people's bones, and she was really coquettish.
Lei Ling was stunned, that child was really wonderful, he would come to such a place at such a young age.
Lei Ling felt that something was not right, and carefully observed the child. Children are not simple, and there is a faint momentum on their bodies. The white fox on his shoulder was even more extraordinary, his eyes were shining, as if he had been psychic!
Lei Ling grabbed Li Batian and said softly: "Let's take a look, don't rush in!"
Lei Ling's eyes were always locked on the child, and he saw the child enter the Spring Festival Pavilion under the pull of the girl. The fox on his shoulder swooped up to the roof and disappeared.
Lei Ling and Li Batian were both shocked, the white fox was really extraordinary, and Lei Ling hurriedly chased in the direction where the white fox left.
Li Batian said in a deep voice: "Could it be that child is a demon cultivator?"
Lei Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, I'm afraid it's related to the Spring Festival Garden, otherwise how could such a young child come to such a place?"
Li Batian nodded and chased after Lei Ling.
Zhennan City is very prosperous, and the streets and alleys are like a labyrinth. Lei Ling exuded his divine sense and locked on to the white fox, otherwise it would not have been possible to track its whereabouts at all.
After turning a few streets, there is a row of dilapidated houses, which are no longer inhabited and ready to be demolished. But this time, the Beacon Dynasty made such a big move, and the entire dynasty was on alert, and the construction of new affairs also stopped running.
The white fox turned into a white light and rushed into a dilapidated house, the door of which was ajar. It was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was going on.
After the white fox entered, the breath disappeared completely. Lei Ling wanted to investigate, but found that there was an enchantment here. Divine Sense could not detect the black room, so Lei Ling and Li Batian had no choice but to hide their breath and cautiously get closer to the black room.
