Within Tianzi City, the Prison Forest Mercenaries also have strongholds, and they are more luxurious than in Tiger Roaring City.【】
After Zhang Kang settled them, he ordered his servants to distribute the reward, three gold bars to each person, and also gave them twenty copper plates.
"Have a rest today and tomorrow, and make arrangements the day after tomorrow. You can move freely in the city during these two days, but don't wear our special robes. You must appear here in the early morning of tomorrow." Zhang Kang ordered and left the hall.
After receiving the generous remuneration, each of their faces beamed with joy. Now that they heard that they could move around freely, everyone rushed to their rooms to change clothes.
The businessmen who were traveling with them parted ways when they arrived at Tianzi City. Suddenly, only Wang Hu and Lin Yu were left in the huge hall.
"Brother Lin Yu, let's go out quickly. I haven't been to Tianzi City before. Now that I have gotten so much money, I have to eat and drink well." Wang Hu weighed the gold bars in his hands and said happily.
However, Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I'm very tired from driving all night these days. I want to take a rest. I still have time tomorrow. Let's have a good drink."
Seeing the tiredness on Lin Yu's face, Wang Hu told him to have a good rest and walked out the door alone.
When Lin Yu saw Wang Hu had left, he quickly walked into his room, took out a night clothes from the storage ring and changed into it.
Slowly releasing his immortal consciousness, Lin Yu found that Zhang Kang had walked out of the courtyard, his steps were very fast, and he didn't know where he was going.
The night had already shrouded, and after Lin Yu covered the bed, he jumped onto the roof and followed quickly.
I don't know how many streets he walked through before Zhang Kang gradually slowed down and began to look around with his immortal consciousness, looking a little panicked.
There were bright lights underfoot, and the patrolling soldiers came one after another, and the guards were very tight. Lying on the roof, Lin Yu saw Zhang Kang walking to the entrance of the palace compound.
"What is he doing here? Are the prison mercenaries still related to the royal family of Yue?" Lin Yu saw Zhang Kangzai showing a token, and the guard had already let him go.
Lin Yu felt more and more suspicious of Zhang Kang, so he took advantage of the gap between the guards and jumped into the palace compound with his agility.
While walking inside, Lin Yu was still memorizing the terrain. After a while, he saw Zhang Kang walking into the imperial study.
The distance was too far, and Lin Yu still couldn't hear clearly, so he jumped to the roof and quietly opened any gaps.
"Don't worry, the prince is having fun now. I promise you'll be fine, as long as you follow our instructions." Zhang Kang sat on the chair grandly, stuffing fresh grapes into his mouth.
Opposite him was a slightly fat man, dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, with his hands behind his back, pacing around the room.
After a few breaths, the man in the dragon robe gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay, I hope you can keep your promise. Although you Prison Forest mercenaries are powerful, you must know that the four demon sects and the three sects of cultivating immortals are all trying to escape.
Within the country, if they knew about this situation, they would not sit idly by and ignore it."
Judging from his clothes, Lin Yu could conclude that the man must be the emperor of Yue. But from their conversation, it seemed that Zhang Kang and the others were threatening the emperor with something.
At this time, a crying woman came from outside. She was elegantly and luxuriously dressed, bright and beautiful, but her eyes were a little red and swollen.
Walking into the room, he knelt down to Zhang Kang with a bang, pulled his trousers, and said loudly: "I beg you, give me my prince back, please...
"
"Don't worry, we do things very appropriately. As long as you don't break your promise, the prince will be safe and sound by then. Three months will pass soon. I'm going to see my second uncle, so I won't disturb you anymore.
"Zhang Kang kicked the woman away and strode out of the imperial study.
Seeing that the emperor was still pacing and sighing, he felt helpless. The woman was still lying on the ground and crying loudly.
It wasn't until Zhang Kang was far away that Lin Yu followed him quietly. Judging from the conversation just now, there was obviously Zhang Kang's second uncle in the palace. Lin Yu guessed that the other party might be a cultivator.
Don't dare to be careless.
After turning several turns, Zhang Kang arrived at the backyard of the palace, walked into a jungle surrounded by ancient trees, and began to speed up.
Lin Yu hid in a tree to prevent the other party from discovering him. He just took advantage of the whistling wind and jumped to the next tree.
After going more than a hundred feet deep, Lin Yu saw some light ahead, so he slowed down. It wasn't until Zhang Kang came in for a few breaths that Lin Yu followed again.
Taking out the Gu Ling pen, Lin Yu jumped onto the roof. The tiles on it were extremely sparse, like a newly built house, and he could clearly see the situation below.
Just as he stood still, a scorching heat came from below. Lin Yu immediately surged with soul power and stabilized his position.
"Second uncle, how are things going? I'm still waiting for you over there. I'm so anxious." Zhang Kang entered and began to complain.
Lin Yu looked around the room for a week and found no one. However, after two gasps, a half-dead voice sounded: "Don't worry, take out the things, I will start preparing them now."
Zhang Kang took out a white bottle from his sleeve robe, placed it on the table, and then took a few steps back.
At this time, a shadow began to appear on the clean table. After three breaths, the figure slowly became clear. It was not until half a stick of incense that the whole person walked out of the table.
"You are still so cautious, you are really afraid of death." Zhang Kang sat on the chair and started to complain again.
Lin Yu was amazed when he saw a living person coming out of the chair. He immediately released a trace of immortal consciousness and found that the other person was only a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, so he felt relieved.
The man called Second Uncle was about forty years old and looked like he was wearing a layer of tree bark.
If you were in the woods, casually leaning against an old tree, you would definitely not be able to find it without careful inspection.
"It's better to be careful. It's not like you haven't heard of what happened in Linfeng City in the past. I feel that recently, whether it's the righteous path or the devil's path, there have been a lot of activities." The middle-aged man picked up the vial and slowly
said.
Unexpectedly, this matter has spread. Linfeng City is so far away from here, but it still alarmed many people. Lin Yu said to himself in his heart.
Zhang Kang stood up, nodded and said: "What the second uncle said is true. I heard that there was a boy from the Corpse Demon Sect who performed well last time. It seems that he didn't even buy Ye Chong's account from the Ghost Prison Sect, and even abolished him.
arm."
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "There are talented people in every country, and each of them has been leading the way for hundreds of years. You still have to practice more, otherwise in the future..."
Before they finished speaking, the two people looked at each other and laughed, but the laughter was particularly weird.
Then the two people stopped talking. The middle-aged man checked the bottle, moved the bed on the ground, and then motioned to Zhang Kang to lift the floor.
When Lin Yu saw the scene below, he was shocked. The corpses of babies were piled below, all soaked in a light green liquid, which was quite terrifying.
"It's really thanks to the help of the Emperor of Yue. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to find so many full-month babies, and it might even alarm other cultivators." Zhang Kang also looked excited when he saw it.
It turned out that this was what they were doing. Lin Yu was very dissatisfied with their disregard for human life. He clenched his fists and the veins on his forehead popped out.
However, Lin Yu still controlled the anger in his heart and endured it. He understood that if he took action now, the line between the empty prison and the dead forest would be broken.
The middle-aged man fished out a baby's body from the pool, sprinkled a little powder on it, then closed his eyes and muttered something.
The baby's corpse slowly began to melt. In just a dozen breaths, it had already condensed into a pool of blood. However, the middle-aged man did not stop. Instead, he released some spiritual energy from his body and wrapped the blood.
After another seven or eight breaths of squeezing, the pool of blood finally turned into a round object, similar to the pills you usually take.
"Take this thing back, and I guarantee that he will be satisfied. When the time comes, our uncle and nephew will definitely be successful. Haha, haha." The middle-aged man picked it up from the ground and threw it to Zhang Kang.
Zhang Kang looked at it, put it in his mouth, chewed it and praised: "This blood pill is indeed a good thing. Second uncle, you can continue to make it here. When I get to the Empty Prison Death Forest, I will definitely help you."
Just a few nice words."
Using the corpses of full-month-old babies to refine elixirs was simply inferior to animals. Lin Yu had just estimated that there were at least 10,000 corpses of babies down there, and he didn't know how many families had been killed.
"Of course it tastes good. What you just ate is as delicious as a prince today." The middle-aged man laughed loudly and fished out another corpse from the pond.
Zhang Kang kept breathing heavily and said slightly angrily: "You old guy, I am still your nephew, why are you saying it now? If I had known, I would have tasted it carefully. It is really a pity.
.”
Seeing Zhang Kang leaving angrily, the middle-aged man laughed again, then concentrated his energy and started the next refining.
The poor emperor, his children were already dead, and he was still kept in the dark. But as the king of a country, he collaborated with the devil to do these unscrupulous things, which still made Lin Yu feel angry.
Lin Yu observed for a moment more, and when he saw the middle-aged man repeating the actions just now and refining non-stop, he stepped back.
Carefully jumping down from the room, Lin Yu left directly from the backyard, rushed into the room quickly, and got into bed smoothly without being discovered by anyone.
But the baby's body just now still made Lin Yu vivid in his mind, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He sighed softly and made a decision in his heart.【】
