Chapter 348: Blackwater City

Blackwater City is considered a satellite city of Zoujing City, and it is also the city closest to Zhenjing City, so it can be regarded as having some light in this collapsing world.

Not only is the Royal Military Division Xiao Leiqi stationed in the city, but there is also the Exorcism Division stationed in the city. The people's lives are pretty good. At least they don't worry every day, worrying that one day they won't be able to wake up again when they close their eyes.

As night falls and the red moon hangs high, a group of exorcists are running along the straight road outside the city.

The leader was a muscular man in his thirties. The red moonlight illuminated the scar that almost bisected his entire face in half, making it look even more terrifying.

"Cui Tou, is it too much of a coincidence that the strange people in Ximo Village are here this time?"

The young man behind the man whipped his dragon-scaled horse a few times, and kept pace with him, complaining subconsciously.

The man glanced sideways at him, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Zhao Yang, when will you stop talking like this?"

"Ah! My eldest brother Cui Hao and my younger brother are also thinking about us Huang Hewei. Why did we just return to Blackwater City the day before yesterday and today it is our turn to do this task again?"

It was okay that Cui Hao didn't answer. As soon as Zhao Yang answered, he immediately became energetic and kept talking non-stop.

Neither the man nor the woman behind him could hold back, covering their mouths and starting to giggle.

Cui Hao looked like he had a headache. He didn't want to hit or scold Huang Hewei, the youngest brother. He had no choice but to ignore it and speed forward.

Not long after, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, and Ximo Village arrived.

Cui Hao stopped the dragon-scaled horse and waved his big hand. The three people behind him who had been laughing and playing immediately fell into silence.

The four of them jumped off their dragon-scaled horses and quietly sneaked towards the village.

It was already close to midnight, and the village was quiet, except for two dimly lit wind lanterns at the intersection.

Cui Hao took out a piece of paper talisman and threw it into the air. "Pfft", the paper talisman spontaneously ignited without any wind, and the smoke curled up towards somewhere in the village as if it was spiritual.

The four of them, Huang Hewei and Huang Hewei, all showed a relaxed smile, and each of them displayed their skills like a powerful crossbow.

Light smoke hovered over a house but there was no movement anymore. Cui Hao glanced at Zhao Yang, who was following closely behind him, and then looked at his old friend Huo Qiye and his wife. These two people were actually a rare couple.

Several people understood what he meant and nodded silently in unison.

Cui Hao stretched out his arms and soared into the sky like a big bird, and behind him, a huge black-faced crane suddenly appeared and screamed towards the house.

Seeing the leader take action, Zhao Yang, who had been smiling playfully just now, turned serious. He popped something like a bamboo pole out of his hand and pointed it towards the front wall.

With a rumble, the solid courtyard wall split into pieces in an instant.

"The Exorcism Department is working, so don't panic!"

Huo Qiye's body glowed with a dazzling golden light, and he kicked hard on the ground with his big feet. Instead, he came from behind and passed in front of Zhao Yang.

At this moment, the sound of cranes croaked in the sky, and the sound waves crisscrossed over the courtyard, and finally gathered on the rockery in the courtyard.

Huo Qiye punched the rockery without hesitation.

Bang, the whole rockery trembled, and an illusory old man appeared from above.

Poof, two paper talismans exploded on the old man's head, and fiery red flames swept down instantly.

The old man let out a shrill roar, shrunk into something like a picture scroll, and ran away into the distance without hesitation. The black-faced crane above him was the first to react, and he chased after him as soon as he spread his wings.

Zhao Yang propped the bamboo pole on the ground and threw his body out like a trebuchet.

Huo Qiye obviously followed the path of body refining, so when faced with this situation, he could only look at his mother-in-law helplessly.

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled. She waved the fan in her hand, and Huo Qiye let out a strange cry and flew forward like a fallen leaf blown up by the strong wind.

After chasing and escaping, several people quickly chased him out of the village.

The black-faced crane neighed from time to time, and its long beak and sharp claws tore cracks on the scroll like sharp knives.

The old man's figure reappeared, staring at the black-faced crane with incomparable resentment. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of black water that suddenly exploded. Suddenly, a radius of ten feet was almost filled with smelly black water.

The black-faced crane let out a scream, and its huge body disappeared instantly like a bubble, revealing Cui Hao's tall figure with a face full of pain.

He looked at the wound on his chest that seemed to have been corroded by something, and shouted loudly.

"Be careful, this damn thing is highly poisonous!"

Zhao Yang, who was about to hit the scroll with the pole, was startled. The bamboo pole in his hand immediately increased by ten feet, and then he struck the scroll hard.

Huo Qiye, who fell to the ground like a boulder, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Although he is physically strong, he is definitely not invulnerable to all poisons. If he were to fight hand to hand right now, tsk tsk, the scene would be unimaginable.

A cold and sinister smile appeared on the old man's illusory face. He raised his palms and the black water that had just fallen into the soil was suspended again.

This scene made Huang Hewei and others gulp down their saliva. The beautiful woman who arrived at the end said nothing, waved her fan lightly, and the vortex-shaped invisible air enveloped all of her companions.

In this way, no matter how powerful the poisonous water is, it will not hurt a few people temporarily, but this is not a long-term solution after all.

Cui Hao frowned. What he was most afraid of when killing evil creatures was this kind of strange magical power.

At this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a soft rumble of a large car rushing towards this direction quickly.

Cui Hao was the only one among the four who had a channel connection, and his spiritual consciousness was the most acute. He immediately shouted loudly.

"Exorcise evil spirits and punish the guile, those who are idle should retreat quickly!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he shouted, the strange big car accelerated its speed and arrived at the side of a few people in a moment.

Damn it, is this guy here to die?

Cui Hao was furious and was about to curse angrily.

But at this moment, Zhao Yang, who was standing by him, suddenly tugged on his sleeve, with a strange look on his face.

Cui Hao thought Wei Wei had made some new movements, and quickly followed his gaze, but at this glance, his eyes almost popped out.

I saw that the weird man who was so arrogant just now was like a mouse encountering an old cat. He was so frightened that his body shape changed between reality and reality.

What was even more incomprehensible to a few people was that the monster was so scared, but it seemed that he didn't even dare to run away.

"I would like to ask some brothers, how far is this place from the capital city?"

At this time, a gentle inquiry rang in the ears of several people. Cui Hao turned around and saw that the big car had driven up to them at some point.

The green bull in front shook his head from time to time, but his big bull eyes just glanced at a few people, and white hairs of sweat appeared on their backs.

Several people felt the faint coercion emanating from the cart again, but they didn't know that they were meeting a senior practitioner.

"Senior, the closest thing to this place is the Acropolis of Zhongjing, Blackwater City. Strictly speaking, this place is already the boundary of Zhongjing!"

Cui Hao bent down to salute and secretly took a look at the handsome young man sitting on the shaft of the car.

The young man's appearance was not surprising and unremarkable, but the more he looked like this, the more Cui Hao did not dare to neglect him. There should not be too many old monsters like this who like to pretend to be young in the capital city.

Xu Luo saw a few people looking at him in awe, but he still felt that there was something strange about them.

However, after nearly half a month of traveling, he finally arrived at Zhongjing City. He was in a good mood and found the ferocious monster quite pleasing to the eye, so he decided to help it escape from the misery of this world as soon as possible.

"You are from the Exorcism Department of Blackwater City!"

Xu Luo glanced at the familiar clothes and armor on a few people, and then looked at the strange thing that was fixed in the air by the Netherworld Technique.

"We are destined to meet each other, so I will help you with this weirdo."

Before he finished speaking, the lamp with the word "E" suddenly swayed up, and little bits of scarlet candle flame flickered from the weird body.

Chi la, the black Yin Sha was twitching violently, but the old man's body was still unable to move at all. He could only watch the scarlet flames blazing from his body.

After a few breaths, only a blank scroll fell from the sky.

Cui Hao's eyebrows were clear, and when he saw that Xu Luo had no intention of taking the gift, he immediately apologized and took out the paper talisman to seal the scroll's gift.

The mission was successfully completed, and Huang Hewei and others were obviously much more relaxed.

Zhao Yang, who has the most out-of-touch temperament, secretly looks at the green ox cart from time to time, which at first glance looks like an extraordinary thing.

Huo Qiye and his wife are obviously much more experienced, but at this moment they are looking at the nose, the nose is looking at the heart, and the eyes are not evil.

Xu Luo waved to Cui Hao.

"Let's go, take me to the Rewarding Headquarters!"

Cui Hao, who had been holding his heart in his arms, finally put it back in his stomach after hearing this. It turned out that he was one of his own.

He asked subconsciously and out of curiosity: "I don't know what your surname is, senior, why are you here to reward the chief minister in the capital?"

Xu Luo didn't intend to hide this trip from anyone. He took out the Minghuang imperial edict issued two years ago and sighed with a little emotion.

"Xu Luo, I come from a small place. As for the purpose of this trip... we cultivators, don't we all have to come to this headquarters in the end?"

Huang Hewei and others were a little baffled by these words. Just when Cui Hao bowed his hands and wanted to refuse, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Xu Luo, Xu Luo... Isn't this the famous King of Yama from Panshi City! He came to reward the capital quietly?

If this is the case, then myself...

"Please allow me to wait a moment, my lord. After I have a few words with my brothers, I will lead the way for you."

Seeing these words coming from the mouth of Cui Hao, who had never been a flatterer, Huang Hewei and the other three people suddenly felt as if they had seen a ghost.

But Cui Hao didn't explain anything. He just said a few words and sent the three of them to go back with the scroll for business, and then led Xu Luo towards the capital city of Zhenjing, which was dozens of miles away.

When he heard that Xu Luo was personally summoned to Beijing by Emperor Chongyuan to serve as a patrol envoy, Cui Hao, a native of Huanjing, still didn't understand that this was a thick thigh falling from the sky!

Now Xu Luo became a little curious.

"I was personally summoned by His Majesty to be sent to the General Headquarters. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Although Cui Hao didn't say anything, it could be seen from his words and deeds that this person knew the situation in the capital city very well. It was impossible that he didn't understand the meaning behind it. How could he be so eager to get involved?

Unexpectedly, Xu Luo was so straightforward. Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, then explained with a helpless smile.

It turns out that although the Yu family and the imperial family are each in charge of their own affairs, after so many years, the two parties have already belonged to the same Dayan power. They are not in a life-and-death hostile position. How can they be so clearly distinguished?
