When Zhang Ruochen saw Duanmu Xingling, Duanmu Xingling looked particularly excited, with a beautiful smile on her snow-white face, her round and bright eyes blinking non-stop, and said: "Zhang Ruochen, guess what I will bring you."
What good news is coming?”
"Given the current situation in the royal city, can there be any good news?" Zhang Ruochen said, wearing a metal mask, neither sad nor happy.
Duanmu Xingling rolled his eyes, took out a wooden box from the space bracelet, and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
"What?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Duanmu Xingling raised her chin, revealing her slender jade neck, and said proudly: "Open it and see for yourself!"
Zhang Ruochen hesitated for a moment and opened the wooden box.
"Wow"
A cold breath escaped from the wooden box.
That breath contained strong corrosive power and swallowed up Zhang Ruochen's fingers in an instant.
The skin on his right hand instantly turned black.
Zhang Ruochen was not frightened at all. Instead, he looked happy and closed the wooden box. At the same time, he circulated the spiritual fire energy to refine the toxins in his body.
"Shen Qicao! Senior Sister Duanmu, where did you find it?" Zhang Ruochen said excitedly.
Although the poison of Shenqi grass is very strong, only a trace amount of the toxin penetrated into Zhang Ruochen's body. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen can use the spiritual fire energy to refine the toxin.
If Zhang Ruochen dared to swallow the Shen Qi Cao directly into his belly, he would probably die in an instant, and even the gods would not be able to save him.
Duanmu Xingling said indifferently: "I just asked a friend to find it from Qianshui County and deliver it to the royal city day and night. It's just a trivial matter, you don't need to take it to heart. Of course, Shenqi Grass is very rare, and
It is extremely toxic, and my friend only found three strains, and I don’t know if you have enough?”
"That's enough! Anyway, I really want to thank Senior Sister Duanmu this time." Zhang Ruochen slightly cupped his hands and expressed his sincere gratitude to Duanmu Xingling.
Qianshui County and Yunwu County are separated by more than 100,000 miles. If you want to deliver the Shenqi Grass here within three days, you must use a fourth-level wild bird and travel as fast as possible to achieve it.
This favor is considered owed!
Zhang Ruochen did not ask Duanmu Xingling why he was able to deliver the Shenqi Grass to the royal city within three days. Duanmu Xingling also did not ask Zhang Ruochen what he wanted the Shenqi Grass for, which seemed to be a tacit understanding.
Duanmu Xingling turned his face sideways, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You came to me, maybe something happened, right?"
"To be honest, senior sister, something is indeed wrong."
Zhang Ruochen put the Shen Qi Cao into the storage ring and said, "I just want to know what is going on with the students from Wushi Academy in the royal city now."
"Is it that simple?" Duanmu Xingling showed a half-smiling expression.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "I am not a complicated person to begin with."
Duanmu Xingling said: "In the battle at the Wushi Arena, the Wushi Academy suffered heavy losses. Dozens of genius students died tragically, and some were captured and imprisoned. Now, the Wushi Academy is here
There are three strongholds in the royal city, and Zi Qian is imprisoned in the dungeon of Lingkong Manor. Once it is confirmed that she is the killer of the Underworld Sect, Chen Xi'er will definitely execute her at a certain time."
Zhang Ruochen stared into Duanmu Xingkong's eyes, coughed twice, and said: "Um...how did you know that I came to you about Zi Qian's affairs?"
Duanmu Xingling covered her mouth and smiled, "You and Zi Qian have such a close relationship, and she exposed her identity because of you. As long as you are alone, you will know that your relationship is extraordinary. If you are imprisoned, you will definitely
Go and save her. I can guess, are you surprised?"
Duanmu Xingling said again: "I'm actually still very curious, how far have you and that female killer reached?"
"We just have a very pure friendship, it's not what you thought at all..." Zhang Ruochen knew that he had spilled the beans and immediately shut his mouth, wanting to slap himself.
"Haha! I got it right after I tried it. She is indeed the killer of the Underworld Sect. Zhang Ruochen, you are so brave. You actually dare to mess with the killer of the Underworld Sect. If Sister Chen knew about it, wouldn't you make a big fuss?" Duan Muxing
Ling laughed and said.
Zhang Ruochen had to admit that he underestimated the wisdom of Duanmu Xingling and would never believe in the saying "women have big breasts but no brains" in the future.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were serious and he said: "Senior Sister Duanmu, this matter is not trivial. You must not publicize it."
"Don't worry! What is our relationship? Will I betray you?"
Duanmu Xingling put away his smile, touched his chin with two jade fingers, and said, "Besides, if you want to save someone, I can help you."
…
In the royal city, every major family and sect has its own manor.
Lingkong Manor covers an area of 120 acres. It is neither big nor small. It is a secret stronghold of Wushi Academy in the royal city.
Now is an extraordinary period, so the defense of Lingkong Manor is very tight, and all formations are fully activated. Even if a strong person in the Tianji Realm wants to break in without anyone noticing, it is impossible.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling approached Lingkong Manor, they were discovered by the guards guarding the manor.
"This is a private estate, you two..."
Before the guard finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling took out the token from Wushi Academy at the same time.
Seeing the tokens of the inner palace students in the hands of Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling, the guard immediately knelt down on one knee, saluted them, and respectfully invited them into Lingkong Manor.
Duanmu Xingkong and Chen Ruo came to Lingkong Manor and alarmed many students.
Especially the mysterious Chen Ruo, many people are very curious about him and come here specially to meet this talented young man who can rescue Princess Yanchen from Earth Fire City.
"He is the secret disciple of the master of the Yinpao Elder Pavilion, Chen Ruo. Why is he wearing a mask on his face?" An outer palace student looked at Zhang Ruochen who was walking side by side with Duanmu Xingling, showing both envy and admiration.
Eyes.
"Senior Brother Chen is a secret disciple. His identity is not comparable to ours. His identity is somewhat mysterious, which is normal."
Another student said with a sad face: "I didn't expect that Senior Sister Duanmu is actually Senior Brother Chen's girlfriend. It seems that I have no hope at all!"
"Senior Sister Duanmu is as beautiful as a fairy, and only a talented man like Senior Brother Chen can be her boyfriend. Don't count on it. Competing with Senior Brother Chen for your girlfriend is simply asking for death."
After entering Lingkong Manor, Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling did not take immediate action, but settled down first under the arrangement of the steward.
To save Zi Qian, every link must be arranged and must not be acted upon rashly.
"I'm going to check the defense of the dungeon first. If possible, it would be best to take Junior Sister Zi out tomorrow night," Zhang Ruochen said.
Duanmu Xingling shook his head and said: "It is easy to rescue her from the dungeon, but it is difficult to send her out of Lingkong Manor. We must consider the long term and cannot act rashly."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry! I have my own way to send her out of Lingkong Secret Mansion."
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen opened the window and saw no one around. He kicked off his legs and turned into a shadow, rushing into the night.
The entrance to the dungeon is located in a rockery in the middle of a lake. If you want to go to the dungeon, you must fly across the lake without anyone noticing and open the dungeon door.
But with Lingkong Manor’s defense, would it be that easy?
It is estimated that even the lake has formation inscriptions set up.
Zhang Ruochen released the space domain and immediately detected three powerful auras hidden by the lake.
Fortunately, there is a space domain, otherwise we would not have been able to discover the three martial arts masters hiding in the dark.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen heard the sound of light footsteps, immediately restrained his breath, flew to the treetops, and hid.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer.
With the help of the faint light, Zhang Ruochen saw a beautiful woman with a perfect figure coming to the lakeside.
It is Chen Xier.
She stopped and lightly snapped her fingers.
In the darkness, an old man came out, bowed his hands to Chen Xi'er, and said, "Better meet, Miss."
Chen Xi'er nodded and said, "No one approaches the rockery in the middle of the lake, right?"
The old man said: "With our three brothers here to guard us, not even a human, not even a mosquito, can even dream of flying to the rockery in the middle of the lake."
Chen Xi'er nodded and said: "Elder Xue checked her blood and found that her blood actually contained holy power, and she was a descendant of a saint. If she is really a sharp gate of the underworld, then she must not be ordinary.
The killer is that simple."
"The news of her being imprisoned has probably been spread. The masters of the Underworld Sect will definitely come to rescue her. You must be careful not to let her be rescued!"
The old man said coldly: "This time the Wu City Academy has suffered such heavy losses, naturally the evil warriors in the black market will have to pay some price. Don't worry, young lady, no matter how many evil warriors the black market sends to save people, it will still be a dead end."
Chen Xi'er said: "I'm going to take a look at her. You continue to hide and don't expose your body."
Chen Xi'er took out a palm-sized iron boat and placed it in the palm of her hand.
That small iron boat is a seventh-level true weapon.
Under the influence of the true energy, the small and exquisite iron boat turned into a three-meter-long boat.
Driving a small boat, Chen Xi'er headed towards the rockery in the middle of the lake.
At the same time, the formation inscriptions set in the lake were fully opened.
"good chance!"
Zhang Ruochen used the space field to hide his body, cast the wind-controlling flying dragon shadow, crossed the void, and flew to the top of the rockery in the middle of the lake.
Because Chen Xi'er was rushing to the rockery in the middle of the lake, the three old men hiding by the lake did not notice the weak fluctuations of true energy on the lake.
Chen Xier climbed up the rockery and walked into a dark path.
"Meet Miss."
The two warriors guarding the dungeon immediately knelt down and saluted Chen Xi'er.
"Open the stone door." Chen Xi'er said coldly without even looking at them.
The two warriors guarding the dungeon each took out a key, inserted it into the two key holes, and activated the formation inscriptions on the stone door.
"Boom!"
The thick stone door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.
A blast of cold air blew out from the stone door.
Inside the stone gate, it was pitch black and bottomless.
Zhang Ruochen, who was following Chen Xi'er, just glanced slightly at the two warriors guarding the dungeon and could see their cultivation level.
They are all at the extreme level of the Earth Realm.
After the disastrous defeat in Wushi Arena, Wushi Bank and Wushi Academy indeed transferred the martial arts masters to the royal city.
The two warriors guarding the dungeon are both over fifty years old. They are obviously not students from Wushi Academy, but warriors from Wushi Bank.
Wushi Academy is the base for cultivating talents for Wushi Bank, but not all warriors from Wushi Bank come from Wushi Academy. Wushi Bank will also spend a lot of money to recruit warriors from other places.
It's just that it's difficult for these recruited warriors to enter the upper echelons of Wu City Bank. At the same time, they don't have as high a status as the students of Wu City Academy and don't get a lot of training resources. They can only be regarded as outer figures of Wu City Bank.
