Monarch of Evernight: Seventy-one Signs
bsp;"Where is the person you arrested now?" This question is the most critical question.
Zhu Meng hesitated for a moment and looked back. All he saw were his old subordinates who had been following him for many years. He recognized every face. The heavy-armored man sighed and said, "He was sent away by the confidants of Manager Rui. I don't know exactly where he was going. I only know that he was heading towards Tingchao City when he left. But It may also be an ancient totem battle fortress."
At this point, Qianye knew that he would never be able to ask anything else. Zhu Meng's answer to Song Zining's whereabouts was tantamount to surrender. It's just that he doesn't know much. It seems that the relationship between him and Ruixiang is indeed very bad, otherwise the old man would not be able to leave them to die.
"Very good, you can go. When you go back, give City Lord Luo a message. If you don't let my brother go, then no one in Chaocheng will leave the city." It will be safe. If my brother dies, no matter how much it costs or how much time it takes, I will kill all the people involved."
Qianye said these words calmly, but Zhu Meng didn't know why, but a deep chill arose in his heart.
Finally, Qianye pointed at Zhu Meng and said seriously: "Now, you know who you are facing. Even if you are a divine general, don't think that you will be safe."
Qianye turned around and left, disappearing in an instant.
Zhu Meng's momentum suddenly dropped like a tide, as if he had aged ten years and looked indescribably tired.
An officer came over and whispered: "General, is this the man who killed so many of our brothers? It doesn't look like it."
Zhu Meng still looked at the direction Qianye was going, and said slowly: "When you encounter this person in the future, hide as far away as possible. Let's go back."
At this moment, Qianye was standing on the top of a hill in the distance, his mind was in a state of confusion. He did not expect that the relationship between the old man and Zhang Buzhou would be so close. Now he is basically equivalent to Zhang Buzhou's external mouthpiece. The key is that no one knows whether those words meant what Zhang Buzhou meant, or whether the old man was just pretending to pass on the imperial edict.
To some extent, he may be more troublesome than the Wolf King. The Wolf King is powerful, but also irritable and arrogant. I suffered big losses at Qianye's hands twice before and after, that's it. Especially the last time, the Wolf King was angered by Qianye. He knew that there must be an ambush ahead, but insisted on going deep alone. As a result, he was besieged by Qianye, Zining, Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan, and was finally severely wounded by Qianye's earth-shattering shot.
The old man Ruixiang's temperament is exactly the opposite. He is sinister and tolerant. At critical moments, he can do anything regardless of his status and shame. Such an enemy is difficult to deal with.
Why did Ruixiang suddenly attack Song Zining? Looking back, it seems that the only thing Qianye offended him was that distant threat. There has been no contact since then. To go into such a big fight just because of such a trivial matter does not seem to be the behavior of a truly strong person.
Song Zining's accident happened without any warning in advance, and not long before, he was suddenly and inexplicably injured and temporarily lost his ability to see the secrets of heaven. Now that I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a coincidence.
The more Qianye thinks about it, the more confused he becomes. Analyzing the current situation and deducing secrets are not his strengths at all, but now the situation is chaotic, and characters from all sides have appeared one after another. The emergence of Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan, two people with mysterious identities and profound backgrounds, means that more and more powerful forces are turning their attention to neutral ground.
What exactly is there in the Neutral Land that is worthy of these major forces focusing their attention here when the land-floating war is still stalemate?
In fact, Qianye has discovered many extraordinary things during his time in Fulu. For example, the mysterious existence in the East China Sea, the Black Forest, the arrangements secretly left by King Zhiji, the Hall of Heroes, and Hokuriku, etc. This is only one land mass in the East China Sea. There may be more secrets hidden in other land masses, and they may be even more astonishing.
Only such a secret makes sense. As for Qianye himself, he is very self-aware. No matter how hard you offend the military, it's just like an ant biting an elephant. At most, the elephant will step on you. Two steps will be a waste.
Song Zining was captured by mistake, which may be the beginning of a big storm.
Qianye suddenly pointed his finger, and a ray of red gold force shot out, carving the three characters 'Zhang Buzhou' on the big stone in front of him. He took a deep breath and struck with his fist. The boulder suddenly fell apart and turned into countless rubbles.
Even if the person standing in front of him is Zhang Tianwang Zhang Buzhou, Qianye will still step over and bring Song Zining back.
The decision has been made, the next step is how to proceed.
At this time, neither the Ancient Totem Battle Fort nor Tingchao City can go. The other party has probably laid a dragnet and is waiting for Qianye to come to their door. You can't easily enter the city, you can only hunt outside the city. You must maintain a certain amount of force and blood, always have the remaining power of a void flash, and keep an original spear, just in case. Even if the Wolf King or Luo Bingfeng suddenly takes action, Qianye must be able to escape.
Qianye knew very well that if he was captured by mistake, Song Zining would be doomed.
In addition, it is unclear how Ji Tianqing is doing now. Thinking about Miss Tianqing's endless secrets and treasures, as long as she escapes, there should be no serious problems.
Determined, Qianye calmed down, composed his mind, sat cross-legged, and practiced until the sunset. His physical strength returned to its peak state, and then he stood up and ran towards Tingchao City.
In Chaocheng, strange rumors suddenly spread in the past few days. According to reports, a quite effective prophecy master in the old city suddenly went crazy and repeatedly said that someone had provoked the catastrophic star and the entire city would be destroyed.
This so-called master was quite popular among the poor people at the bottom. As a result, the trouble became bigger and bigger, attracting the city defense army. Seeing the crowd of onlookers growing, the officers of the city defense army made a prompt decision and ordered the old lunatic to be taken away. Unexpectedly, when he gave the order, the old madman suddenly hit the wall and suffered a **** head on the spot.
On his deathbed, the old madman's eyes widened with shock, and he murmured: "Xue Zhan, this is Xue Zhan! I saw it, it is black, we will all die if it is black, we will all die."
The officer of the city defense army also had some knowledge. When he heard the word Xue Zhan, he was shocked and shuddered involuntarily.
The so-called blood divination is actually a very partial and **** method in divine deduction. The prophet uses various means of self-mutilation to put himself in a near-death state, and uses his body's survival instinct to stimulate extraordinary performance of his strength, allowing him to see content that he could not see before.
In fact, only crazy people or people in despair will use blood possession. This old madman actually used blood fortune telling to verify the accuracy of his prediction. What did he see at the moment before his death?
The officer acted decisively and immediately ordered people to take away the old madman's body and burn it, and even his residence was completely burned down.
The old madman has no family or children, so no one can stop him. In the raging fire, all traces of his existence were reduced to ashes.
However, rumors inevitably began to spread, and that fire became evidence for the rumors.
On the holy mountain where Zhang Buzhou once practiced, there is a small courtyard built, which is simple and elegant, simple but not crude. A white wall, a few thin bamboos, and some flowers and trees make the courtyard fresh, elegant and unique. At a glance, it seemed like a secluded place for some master from the empire.
In the courtyard, a fierce invisible sword energy suddenly rose into the sky, reaching hundreds of meters before slowly dissipating. As soon as this sword energy moved, most of the powerful people in Tingchao City sensed it and looked towards the top of the mountain. Everyone could not hide their shock.
Graystones and tiles were falling down one after another in the courtyard, and the roof of the main house was almost completely shattered. The sword energy was as thin as a hair, but its actual power was astonishingly powerful.
At this time, a breeze blew through and all the gray stones were swept away. The gentle woman walked out of the side room and asked softly: "Bingfeng, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Luo Bingfeng walked out of the house, with doubts in his eyes, and frowned: "Suddenly, I had a sudden impulse, and I vaguely felt that something big was about to happen. I lost my temper and couldn't control myself."
"What's the big deal?" The woman was very concerned. It was no small matter to make Luo Bingfeng lose his temper.
Luo Bingfeng’s eyebrows knitted tighter, seeming to be telling, but also seeming to be muttering to himself, “I saw darkness, a huge darkness that I don’t know how to describe, but it was the abyss and destruction.”
The woman was startled, her face changed a little, and she said, "How could this happen? Have you practiced techniques such as deriving heavenly secrets?"
Luo Bingfeng shook his head, "How is that possible? I promised you that I would never touch this type of technique."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "That's good. What you saw may be a sign of something, but it may not have anything to do with us. Even if it does, we'll just deal with it when the time comes."
Luo Bingfeng looked down at Tingchao City and said, "That's right. But it's better to be cautious. I think I'll call Luo Yun here first to see what's going on around here."
"That's fine." The woman nodded.
After a while, a serious-looking man in his early thirties came quickly, walked into the small courtyard, and briefly talked about what had happened in the past few days.
In these days, the biggest thing was that the Wolf King mobilized all his troops to expedition to Nan Qingcheng. However, he was defeated in a row. Even the main army was defeated. The Wolf King himself was seriously injured and retreated, and had to hide in the ancient totem. Recuperate in the battle fort.
The other thing was that Ruixiang mobilized the most elite troops in Tingchao City to launch a lightning attack and raided the Nan Qingcheng team from the rear. At that time, Nan Qingcheng's army had just defeated the Wolf King's army, and it had suffered heavy losses. It was actually a tragic victory. How could it still have the strength to resist Tingchao City's new army? Naturally, it was a complete failure.
This is all Luo Yun knows. The specific battle situation and the course of the battle are only roughly known and cannot be explained clearly.
Luo Bingfeng was surprised and said: "The Wolf King was defeated? He was not defeated by the Spider Emperor and the Mask, but by a group of young strong men? Interesting."
At this moment, Luo Bingfeng turned his eyes and suddenly saw an army arriving outside Tingchao City, preparing to enter the city. His eyesight was so powerful that even though they were far away, he could still see the troop clearly. Suddenly his expression changed and he said, "Isn't that Zhu Meng? Why are there so few people in his team?"
