After the soldiers collected the corpses, they rushed to Soul Town with the remaining survivors. They wanted to report the information here to their superiors and place the remaining survivors at the same time.
Ye Ming only felt that what happened last night was like a dream, and it was gone after so many people said no.
With a human skin mask on his face, he turned into an ordinary person and blended into the team returning to the city. Weeping could be heard from time to time in the team. There are now less than 30 people surviving in the town with a population of more than 500, and most of them have gone into the mountains.
The workers who did not return the logging last night would probably be unbearable to hear the news of the tragic death of their loved ones as soon as they return home.
At the front of the team is a soul master riding a tall horse. From the epaulettes on his body, it can be seen that his status in the army is not low. Ye Ming learned from the soldiers that he was the commander of the Zhenhun City Defense Corps, named Shi.
Yong is a six-ringed Soul Emperor and a close confidant of the Lord of the Soul-Suppressing City.
As the team continued to advance, after half a day, Ye Ming and his party finally arrived at Soul Town City, and saw Shi Yong in front of him saying to the survivors behind him
"People of Dou Ling, I am deeply saddened by what happened last night. I will continue to track down the murderer and avenge everyone. But life must go on. I hope you can escape the shadow of this tragedy as soon as possible and reintegrate.
Go to Zhenhun City, your new home. Someone will come to register your information later, and someone will take care of your future livelihood. I would like to say goodbye to you first."
As soon as Shi Yong finished speaking, someone below raised his hand
"General Shi, I don't care about the arrangements. I just want to know who was the murderer last night?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, his face that should have been honest was full of hatred
His words aroused the anger of the crowd like a primer
"General Shi, we just want to know the murderer!"
"Yes, who is the murderer?"
"My family died tragically, and I just want to avenge them"
Seeing the crowd gradually getting out of control, the adjutant beside Shi Yong comforted everyone
"Don't get excited, everyone must give us some time to check, I..."
I was interrupted before I finished speaking
"What are you investigating? You always say this every time I encounter something about soul masters. Why can't you tell us the truth?"
"Yes, we want the truth"
"The truth!" "The truth!"
……
After entering the city, Ye Ming quietly left the team and slipped out. Listening to the crowd in the distance shouting the truth, Ye Ming's understanding of the world deepened.
After all, there are only a few people who can become soul masters in this world. The vast majority are ordinary civilians without soul rings. Faced with the inhuman power of soul masters, especially powerful soul masters, they who know too many truths will have trouble.
Despair.
Therefore, in order not to cause panic, various countries will more or less hide things about the soul master world from civilians. It is estimated that in the impression of these civilians, soul masters just stand on the ring and release soul skills, and they are not much better than ordinary people. p>
Ye Ming headed towards the center of the city, where the city lord's palace was. He planned to ask for news about the Qian family as soon as possible, and then leave as soon as possible. From the fact that the evil soul masters dared to slaughter the town openly and honestly, we can see how rampant they are.
Ye Ming thinks he is weak, so he doesn't want to get involved in this matter at the moment.
At this time, he had restored his original appearance. After all, he had to be sincere when asking for help, and his disguise seemed a bit ridiculous in front of the Soul Saint, so he simply took off the mask to reveal his original appearance.
A quarter of an hour later, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion saw a "young man" who was comparable in stature to himself but had a very immature face.
"Anyone who comes, stop! This is the city lord's palace, you can come here if you have nothing to do"
The guard stopped Ye Ming, but after seeing the burly figure, he gave up the idea of driving him out. After all, he knew that some soul masters might have an impact on their appearance because of their special martial souls, so he chose to not know the details of the other party.
Be cautious
Ye Ming looked at the guard in front of him and raised his hands.
"Of course I have something important to come here this time. Please give this letter to the city lord. He will definitely meet with me."
Looking at the letter in the young man's hand, the guard did not accept it
"Sorry, the city lord has arranged not to receive foreign guests today. Little brother, please come back another day."
Ye Ming frowned when he heard this. He didn't want to give up. After all, the sooner there was news about the Qian family, he might be able to see his father sooner. Then he took out two coins
"Brother, please be accommodating. All you have to do is send this letter to the city lord."
The guard wanted to refuse, but he hesitated again when he saw the two gold soul coins. Two gold soul coins were enough for him to drink a lot of wine
"Hey, forget it, you better not lie. If you cause me to be scolded, I guarantee you will never be able to enter this door again."
The guard put away the gold soul coin and the letter, and did not forget to threaten him before leaving
Ye Ming looked at the guards who were gradually running away and stood there waiting quietly. Naturally, he was not worried that the city lord would not see him. After all, he learned from Lao Laqi that he was very kind to Mu Tao, who was still a student, in his early years.
Qi Yin’s recommendation is sure to be foolproof.
Sure enough, after Ye Ming waited for a while, he saw the guard from before running over in a hurry, followed by an old man who seemed to be the housekeeper
"Little brother, please invite me. The city lord is still discussing matters. Little brother, you can follow me to the side hall to wait."
Ye Ming cupped his hands and followed the housekeeper into the city lord's mansion.
The entire City Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area. Ye Ming felt as if he had walked into a manor. The corridors inside were winding and winding like a maze. Looking at the carved dragons, phoenixes and exquisite and unusual ornaments, it was the first time he saw such a worldly Ye Ming.
I was amazed and almost lost my way. Fortunately, the old housekeeper in front often stopped and waited, otherwise Ye Ming, who had just arrived here, would have been in a big embarrassment.
When the old housekeeper saw Ye Ming looking east and west, he just shook his head and smiled. After all, this city lord's mansion is different from other city lord's mansions. It is indeed a bit too luxurious, and the city lord inside is not comparable to ordinary main city lords.
The old butler's attitude was very gentle. He led Ye Ming while introducing the origin and origin of each scene. Ye Ming was so surprised that he praised him repeatedly, and even the sadness of his previous encounter with the evil soul master was somewhat diluted. p>
Finally, after traveling all the way, the old housekeeper led Ye Ming into a side hall
"Little brother, you can rest and wait here. I will go to the front hall first and wait for the city lord to finish his business, and then I will inform the little brother."
"Butler walks slowly"
Seeing the figure of the old housekeeper gradually disappearing, Ye Ming scorned the evil nobles in his heart while looking at the side hall in front of him. He saw that the splendor in front of him was magnificent, and even the furniture was very exquisite in workmanship and was worth a lot of money at a glance.
"I always feel like this is a bit too luxurious"
Ye Ming was impressed and also discovered some abnormalities. The city lord's mansion was luxurious, but there were too few servants inside. Ye Ming recalled that he didn't seem to encounter a few servants on the way.
It’s really unreasonable for an extremely luxurious city lord’s mansion.
