Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and thought to himself about what Xiao Hei said, and felt that it made sense.
He has hatred for Chi Yao, so naturally he has prejudice.
Once bias occurs, judgment may be misjudged, leading to further deviation from the truth.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Now that this secret has been discovered, of course we must investigate it. In addition to the wood spirit ruins, the Imperial Military Department also divided some other ruins into restricted areas with many restrictions. These ruins may also have similar structures.
The altar. However, the top priority now is to return to Chaos Mountain, we can’t delay it any longer!”
"According to the time, it will take a few days for the Ruins Realm ship from Wanjie Tavern to arrive at the Bodhisattva Ruins Realm. How do we go back?" Xiao Hei said.
Zhang Ruochen curled up the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "In addition to the Ruins Realm ships in the Wanjie Tavern, the patrols in the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm, there must also be Ruin Realm ships. Eh!"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed and he looked towards the horizon. On the horizon, two rows of black dots were about to surround him.
They were two teams of patrolling troops. They were wearing battle armor and holding spears. They stood on top of the Purple Linbi King Beast and quickly approached Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei.
"Fang Li, the captain of the first team of the patrol army, is here. Whoever is in front of you, please report your name immediately."
Still a hundred miles away, Fang Li's voice penetrated the void, like muffled thunder, and reached Zhang Ruochen's ears.
Zhang Ruochen only felt pain in his eardrums, and blood was rolling all over his body. He had to use his exercises to resolve the shaking energy.
"What a powerful master. The Ministry of War actually sent such a powerful person to inspect the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm. It seems that the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm really hides a big secret."
Zhang Ruochen did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered Xiao Hei to stop and float in mid-air, cautiously alert.
The ten sergeants from the first team of the patrol army were arranged in a fan shape and stopped a hundred feet away from Zhang Ruochen.
Among them, the captain Fang Li stood in the center. He was tall, with thick and long arms, and he was holding a silver spear as thick as a bowl in his hand, like a peerless god of war.
Just by looking at him, a chill ran down Zhang Ruochen's back, and he could clearly feel that this person's cultivation had reached the fourth transformation of fish and dragon.
However, his strength is more than ten times stronger than the tree ancestor of the fifth fish-dragon transformation, and he is not a power-level existence at all.
A character like him can kill Tree Ancestor with just one move.
This is a master who has experienced hundreds of battles. Just the aura exuding from his body can make timid people kneel down and beg for mercy.
In the other direction, the sergeants from the second team of the patrol army flew over and were also arranged in a fan shape.
The captain of the second team was very thin, with a sallow complexion and a skinny appearance.
However, his strength is not weak. He is also a fourth-transformation fish-dragon cultivation level. He is a strong man on the same level as Fang Li, the captain of the first team.
"What should we do? Fight out?" Xiao Hei's eyes showed a stern look.
Zhang Ruochen said: "No rush, just wait a moment."
A sergeant from the first patrol army flew towards Zhang Ruochen on a purple unicorn king beast and said coldly: "Didn't you hear our captain asking questions? If you don't tell us your name, you will be treated as a stowaway."
As he said that, the sergeant used a move called Cloud-turning Grasp, crossed his arms, and wisps of flames came out of his claws, and he grabbed Zhang Ruochen's shoulder.
Zhang Ruochen stepped back to avoid the soldier's paw prints.
At the same time, he struck out with a palm, hitting the soldier's chest with a bang.
The sergeant flew back and landed on the back of the Purple Linbi King Beast again.
"How dare you fight back? I'm really turning against you."
The sergeant's eyes turned cold, he took out the spear inserted in the iron chain on the beast's back, clenched his hands, and was about to charge forward again.
"Long Yun, you are no match for him, why don't you retreat?" Fang Li, the captain of the first team of the patrol army, said in a deep voice.
The sergeant named Long Yun was in awe of Fang Li and did not dare to complain, so he immediately retreated.
Fang Li stared at Zhang Ruochen with his eyes like a hawk, and said: "Long Yun's martial arts cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. Although he is not a "Tianbang" warrior, he has experienced dozens of battles on the battlefield of the Ruins Realm.
A strong man in a bloody battle. You actually knocked him back with just one move. You must be a master on the "Heaven Ranking", right?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "So what if you get on the "Heaven Ranking"? If you don't reach the Fish-Dragon Realm, you will only be a mortal warrior after all."
"You still have some self-awareness. In that case, you don't need me to take action, just come with us!" Fang Li said.
Fang Li didn't think Zhang Ruochen had any connection with the incident in Black Wood Plains, but he characterized Zhang Ruochen as a stowaway and planned to capture him and imprison him.
If it were any other time, Zhang Ruochen wouldn't mind going back with them. After all, with his status, Wushi Qianzhuang would definitely negotiate with the Ministry of War, and he would be released soon.
However, Zhang Ruochen is now in a hurry to return to Chaos Mountain. If he is regarded as a stowaway, he may have to wait for a long time before he can go back.
Fang Li was an impatient person. When Zhang Ruochen didn't answer for a long time, there was a chill in his eyes.
For stowaways, they are either caught or killed.
He slowly raised his palm, and with the luck of his palm, the clouds in the sky shook and condensed into the shape of a palm print.
The palm print cloud was dozens of years long, floating above Zhang Ruochen's head, like a five-fingered mountain.
A low-grade ghost-level martial skill, Cloud-Shocking Palm.
It is obvious that Fang Li has practiced Jingyun Palm to the transformation level. The most important thing is that his cultivation is extremely profound. A mortal who can use this move of Jingyun Palm can unleash earth-shattering power.
"I can only take a gamble!"
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, took out the token of the king of Yunwu County, and said: "Captain Fang, what are you doing? I just came to the Wood Spirit Ruins world to practice, how did I offend you?"
Seeing the token in Zhang Ruochen's hand, Fang Li's eyes shrank and he retracted his palms.
Immediately, the huge palm print in the sky gradually dispersed.
All the pressure disappeared.
"Prince Yunwu." Fang Li looked at the token carefully and frowned slightly.
The titles in the First Central Empire were divided into: Heavenly King, Territory King, and County King.
Among them, each title is divided into three levels.
The token in Zhang Ruochen's hand represents the title of "lower prince", ranking at the bottom among the three nobles and nine ranks.
That is, the lowest nobles.
However, even the lowest nobles are still nobles and have the qualifications to come to the Wood Spirit Ruins world to experience.
For a warrior to obtain a title, even the lowest one, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Only by accumulating enough military merit points on the battlefield in the Ruin Realm can he have a chance to be knighted.
Having a title is equivalent to being an official of the First Central Empire. It has many special privileges and can go to many places that ordinary warriors cannot go to for training.
Zhang Ruochen had not registered with the Ministry of War that he wanted to come to the Mu Jingxu world for training. In fact, he was betting that Duan Mu Xingling had used his connections with the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect to help him register.
Because, Duanmu Xingling had been to the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm, and also said that Zhang Ruochen had not registered with the Ministry of War.
This shows that she used her connections with the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect and saw the Ministry of War's record book.
Since she and Zhang Ruochen agreed that Zhang Ruochen should rush back to Chaos Mountain within ten days, she must have made arrangements for Zhang Ruochen, and might even have arranged some means in advance.
Of course, all this is just Zhang Ruochen's guess. He is not sure, so he can only take a gamble first.
After all, the two captains of the patrol team are both monks of the fourth fish-dragon transformation, and they are not as simple as ordinary fourth-transformation fish-dragon monks, with the ability to fight across realms.
It is possible not to fight, but of course it is best not to fight.
Fang Li's eyes kept changing and he said, "Ye Chuan, is there the name of Zhang Ruochen, Prince of Yunwu County, in the records filed by the Ministry of War?"
Ye Chuan, the captain of the second team of the patrol army, took out a roll of jade slips, looked at it, nodded, and said, "Yes."
Fang Li looked at Zhang Ruochen again and said: "Since you are the king of Yunwu County, I will not embarrass you, but I have some things I want to ask you. Did you come out of the Black Wood Plains just now?"
Zhang Ruochen put away the token, smiled, and said: "I just noticed a lot of movement in the Black Wood Plains. I thought some treasure was born, so I came here to try my luck. However, I didn't dare to go deep. It is said that it is quite dangerous inside."
Fang Li stared hard at Zhang Ruochen's eyes to see if Zhang Ruochen was lying, and continued: "A large number of tree people died in the Black Wood Plains. There must be top experts who broke in. Have you seen anything suspicious?
people?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "No. Does Captain Fang have any more questions? If not, will I leave?"
"No more." Fang Li said.
After Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei left, the captain of the second team, Ye Chuan, flew to Fang Li's side on the Purple Linbi King Beast, stared at the black spot in the distance, and said: "Fang Li, do you believe
His words?"
Fang Li's expression was solemn, he shook his head and said: "Hey, although he hid it very well, I still think there is something wrong with him. This person is only a perfect practitioner in the Tianji Realm, but even I can see it.
I can’t tell him. Such a person actually claims that he doesn’t dare to break into the Black Wood Plains. Do you believe it?”
Ye Chuan's hand quietly stroked the spear in his hand and said with a smile: "Of course I don't believe it."
Just when he uttered the first word "I", the spear in his hand was thrust out.
When he said the last word "letter", there was a pop, and the spear had pierced Fang Li's back spine.
Under the impact of that powerful force, Fang Li's body was broken into two pieces.
An extremely powerful man fell like this without knowing it. It is estimated that he never thought that he would die at the hands of his teammates.
Ye Chuan looked very cool, and with a flick of his arm, Fang Li's body flew out.
Holding the bloody spear, Ye Chuan said with a smile: "Of course I don't believe it, because he is simply a stowaway. However, since Her Royal Highness the Saint wants me to help him and try to conceal his identity, then just
