Cape City is a seaside city in the southwestern province of the Star Luo Empire. Because it guards the main shipping route, its commerce is extremely developed.
On this day, Cape City welcomed two young people. These two people were none other than Zhao Xuan and Hermione who had returned from Ghost Island. However, their states at the moment were somewhat different. Hermione looked relaxed and content.
, but Zhao Xuan felt as if he had lost half his life.
"Zhao Xuan, are you okay? How about we go to the city and find a place to sit down first."
Seeing Zhao Xuansheng's loveless look, Hermione blinked and suggested.
Rolling his eyes at Hermione, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but said: "Tell me how tired you are of running a big living person for hundreds of kilometers without stopping. And... don't ask a man if you can do it."
"Men don't say no, they only say no!"
Hermione was startled when she heard this, then glanced at Zhao Xuan, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly: "Okay, man, hurry up and find a place to rest before we talk."
Zhao Xuan's face twitched and he stared at Hermione blankly. Your expression just now was definitely mocking me.
Hermione's eyes were a little evasive, she turned around and walked straight towards the city.
…
Although Cape City is not big, it is well-equipped despite its small size. There is even a spirit fighting arena in the city. As the only city with a deep-water port on hundreds of kilometers of coastline, one can imagine how prosperous it is here.
After ordering two top-notch private rooms in a hotel, Zhao Xuan didn't want to leave after lying on the bed. He had traveled hundreds of kilometers with no place to rest. You can imagine how tired he was.
Who would have thought that a day of lying there would pass in a daze.
"Um?"
The next morning, Zhao Xuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the door with doubt in his eyes.
He was very tired these days, not only physically but also mentally, which led him to fall asleep, but sleeping did not mean that he had no awareness of the outside world.
In the corridor of the hotel, there were fluctuations in soul power. It seemed that Hermione had a conflict with someone else?
Zhao Xuan frowned, what's going on?
The atmosphere in the corridor was tense at this moment. There were two groups of people confronting each other. On one side was the lonely Hermione, and on the other side were several guards wearing armor.
"I told you, I don't know your young city lord, please get out of my way!"
Although there were many people on the opposite side, there was no fear on Hermione's face. She looked calmly and said coldly to the people in front of her.
Opposite, the captain of the guard said in a deep voice: "There is evidence to prove that you and our young city lord were on the same cruise ship. This cruise ship was originally scheduled to arrive at Cape City yesterday morning, but it mysteriously disappeared, and the young city lord's whereabouts are also unknown."
"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, you need to cooperate with our investigation, otherwise we can only take you away by force."
"snort!"
Hermione looked at each other coldly, but in her heart she thought of the noisy young man on the cruise ship that day. However, except for her and Zhao Xuan, everyone else on the cruise ship was speechless, so there was no point in saying it!
Inside the house, Zhao Xuan also understood what had happened. He was about to go out, but suddenly he stopped what he was doing, and he didn't know what he thought of.
Seeing Hermione's resolute attitude, the captain of the guard lost his patience. He made a gesture and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, catch her!"
The guard behind him looked indifferent, and he did not show any mercy because Hermione was a girl. This was not surprising in the Star Luo Empire, which pursued the iron-blooded policy and was less sentimental than Tiandou.
Hermione's face turned cold, and the soul power that had been prepared for a long time spurted out. The wand fell into her hand, she put on a simple bachelor's robe, and four circles of soul rings slowly rose up from the soles of her feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!
"Soul Sect?!"
The captain of the guard became a little surprised and confused. The girl in front of him was obviously not very old, but she actually had a Soul Sect level cultivation. This was obviously something that ordinary forces could not cultivate.
But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go together."
Several guards with heavy faces quickly summoned their martial spirits after hearing this.
In addition to the guard captain, there are three guards. They are all soul masters at the soul master level. Their soul rings have the same ratio, which are white, yellow, and purple.
"Canglang, possessed!"
"Tiger, possessed!"
"Ape, attached...fuck!"
Before the last guard could complete his possession, Hermione had already used her second soul skill, Phoenix Rocket.
The phoenix rocket's stream of light escaped, grazing across his cheek, and the blazing temperature left a scorched black mark on his face, along with wisps of strange meaty aroma.
He was startled, his back was suddenly wet with cold sweat, and his originally active soul power was suppressed.
The guard captain's eyes twitched, and four soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, and purple rose up from his feet. At this moment, the second yellow soul ring shone, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Enter!"
The corridor was already narrow, and as the guard captain's voice fell, several ivy branches suddenly stretched out from the corner and wrapped around Hermione's feet.
The two soul masters who had completed the possession quickly rushed towards Hermione. Hermione was unusually calm at the moment, with her brown eyes calm and calm.
She waved her wand and whispered: "Gate to the Burning Sky!"
The Burning Sky Gate unfolds, forming an absolute defensive effect in the narrow corridor. If you want to attack, you can only rely on frontal forcible breakthrough.
The two guards looked at each other and then rushed towards Hermione's Burning Sky Gate.
Hermione's face was calm, the wand in her hand was gushing with soul power, and then she bent down and used the wand to cut off the ivy wrapped around her leg.
Picking up a piece of ivy, Hermione looked at it, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's an ordinary ivy."
If this is a poisonous martial spirit, then it will be really troublesome.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Hermione couldn't help but glance at the tightly sealed door in front of her. Her lips moved and her voice sounded like a mosquito: "You guys have seen enough."
With such a big commotion outside, she didn't think Zhao Xuan could sleep peacefully.
In the room, Zhao Xuan's lips curled up slightly: "Have you been discovered?"
Although he was discovered, he didn't plan to go out now. This time he wanted to see if Hermione had made any progress in recent days.
The words were divided into two parts. When Hermione looked towards the door in front of her, two guards had already rushed forward. Their soul power flashed on their bodies, and they used the second soul skill in unison.
The attributes of the ten-year soul ring are too poor. Generally, only single attributes can be increased, such as speed, strength, soul power and other attributes, but the effect of the increase is extremely low.
"Shadow Claw!"
"Raid!"
The two of them attacked a piece of Burning Sky Gate together, and the soul power stirred on it. However, the quality of the soul ring of Burning Sky Gate was too high, and it took the combined action of the two of them to crack a small crack in the Burning Sky Gate.
However, as a gap collapsed, the Burning Sky Gate became more fragile. There was a golden-red color flowing in the gap, and a scorching temperature instantly filled the entire corridor.
The ape soul master who had completed the possession was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the guard captain.
"Captain?!" The ape martial soul guard looked at the guard captain in surprise.
The captain of the guard did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on the Gate of Burning Sky.
Suddenly, the Gate of Burning Sky collapsed, and when the two attacking guards looked happy, the captain of the guard shrank his pupils, and two vines shot out from under his feet in an instant, wrapped around their waists, and brought the two guards back.
.
The joy on the faces of the two guards gradually turned into confusion, and then into shock.
While flying upside down, they saw with their own eyes that hot magma burst out from the gaps in the Burning Sky Gate. The magma was so hot that it carried a little bit of heat. Once it was thrown away, the entire corridor was instantly riddled with holes, and even some places were even filled with holes.
was ignited.
If they were still standing there, it would be inevitable that they would be burned.
"What? Are you coming again?"
Hermione's voice came slowly from the other end of the corridor. She crossed her hands on her chest and her wand shook slightly.
