Six hundred and fortieth chapters: avoid and stay away
Qin Tian couldn't understand why these puppets spent so much manpower and material resources to enter the imperial capital, when they could easily enter through the city gate.
Mr. Tong said, "You are thinking too simply. Where do you think the Imperial Capital is? The entry of so many powerful martial arts kings into the Imperial Capital will inevitably attract the attention of the powerful Empire. They do not have invitation letters from the guild and they are all unfamiliar faces.
Naturally, they will be questioned and inquired by the city gate guards, so they can only achieve their goals through this method!"
"So that's it!" Qin Tian said after understanding. "It didn't take a day or two to dig out such a long secret passage. From this point of view, they have been planning it for a long time."
"They are obviously here for this alchemist conference, and they are fully prepared. An unknown danger is quietly approaching. If their conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous." Tong Lao's deep eyes appeared.
The color of worry showed that he took this matter very seriously.
Qin Tian then said, "Should we inform the Danqi Alchemist Guild in advance about this just in case?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will remind them of course."
Mr. Tong doesn’t want Qin Tian to get involved in this matter. After all, Qin Tian is still young and weak. Those puppets are outnumbered and they really want to take his life. Mr. Tong doesn’t think Qin Tian can get away with it every time.
.
Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.
In fact, it didn't matter to him what purpose these puppets had, and it didn't matter to Yu Chen at all.
It's just that human life is at stake, and everyone has a kind heart. It's impossible to know that there is a big fire pit ahead and not warn the people walking in front.
Qin Tian couldn't do it, and Yu Chen couldn't do such a thing.
If he hadn't met Jin Bute today, Qin Tian would have just inquired about the whereabouts of the soul-nourishing pill, attended this rare alchemist conference, and left. The rest of the things were not his concern.
The secret passage was very long, but they couldn't bear to walk through it. It took them nearly half an hour to get out from the exit at the end.
This is an abandoned and broken well. There is no trace of water underneath. There are overgrown weeds around the well mouth. Many of them have been trampled and bent down. You can tell at a glance that it was caused by humans.
After emerging from the bottom of the well, the sun shone on their faces, and they both involuntarily raised their hands to cover their sight.
After his eyes adjusted to the light on the ground, he put his hands down and glanced around. The dilapidated gatehouse and walls showed that this place had been abandoned for a long time.
If no one repairs this place, I'm afraid it will be completely in ruins within two years.
Qin Tian glanced around and asked, "Where in the imperial capital is this? There are such dilapidated houses."
"Do you think that the imperial capital is full of glory?" Mr. Tong paused and said, "There are not a few places like this. Almost all families that were once prosperous declined and had to move away in the end, leaving behind these
In the past, no one took care of the mansion, so it naturally became like this over time."
In the imperial capital, competition is fierce in all walks of life, and families or merchants who have experienced ups and downs are everywhere.
Their former glory was all whitewashed in their own mansions. After they became lonely, these splendid mansions in the past would naturally become dim.
The human world is the most cruel. It is not only reflected in the daily intrigues, but also reflects the forest law of the weak and the strong. This is dark and cruel.
And all of this stems from one's own weakness, and no one can ever stop this eternal law.
Qin Tian had a deep understanding of these things. The Qin family used to be one of the most prominent families in Gannan City. A "flying disaster" experienced ups and downs overnight, and more than a hundred members of the family died unexpectedly.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard and made people lament the uncertainty of the world. Who knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
Seeing Qin Tian's eyes wandering, Mr. Tong couldn't help but yelled at him, "Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry up and leave!"
After regaining consciousness, Qin Tian followed Tong Lao out of the wall. This place was still a long way away from the Alchemist Guild, and it was located on the edge of the imperial capital.
The environment here is quiet and elegant, and it is the first choice for some wealthy businessmen. You can understand it just by looking at the gorgeous mansions around it.
"Tong Lao, these puppets have sneaked into the Imperial City and are a very big hidden danger. They are in the dark and we are in the open, and we don't know when they will attack. It is always difficult to find a way to find them out!"
Only then did Qin Tian remember that he was a target of the puppets. Being in the same city with these puppets always made him feel like a light on his back.
Although he lives in a hotel with many masters, it is sometimes difficult to guard against enemies in the dark.
But come to think of it, there's no guarantee that I'll run into Kim Butt again one day.
No matter what, he will not cut off this clue easily.
As for who was behind the use of the soul control technique and what was planned, this was not something he could care about now. After all, his strength was limited. If it wasn't for Yu Chen's intention, he would not provoke that powerful existence.
Mr. Tong said, "As long as you stay where you are and don't run around, they won't dare to arrest you blatantly in this imperial capital. I can guarantee this."
Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, thinking that he was really unlucky. Not only was he targeted by the killer, but he also provoked these puppets. From now on, when he walked on the street, everyone would be surrounded by soldiers. He might die one day without knowing how.
But it is really sad for people like this who just die in a daze.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, probably because it is relatively remote. If it were placed in a relatively central location in the imperial capital, it would be overcrowded. At this time, it would already be bustling with people.
Tong Lao didn't say anything more to Qin Tian, but just warned him to talk less and do more.
Qin Tian was not a fool, so he could naturally understand what the former meant. It was just to stop him from talking about what happened yesterday and making people panic.
Qin Tian clasped his fists toward Mr. Tong and said, "Young man will definitely keep his mouth shut. Please rest assured, Mr. Tong!"
Mr. Tong hummed, and then said, "Then you and I can go our separate ways here. I have more important things to do!"
Qin Tian asked, "Are you going to the Alchemist Guild?"
Mr. Tong glanced at Qin Tian and said behind his back, "Don't ask around for anything. The less you know about some things, the better for you. You should learn to stay away from those puppets. Don't get angry and destroy you."
In my whole life, if I hadn’t seen you as a good practitioner, I wouldn’t have bothered to give you this advice..."
