In the desolate Gobi desert, Zhao Xuan was wandering aimlessly alone. The path of the evil god was erratic, and the locations and times of his attacks were irregular. It was very difficult to find him.
Zhao Xuan searched for the whole day, crossing thousands of miles of territory, but found nothing.
The sun sets in the west, and the entire land is shrouded in orange-red sunset. The huge red sun hangs below the horizon, leaving only half a red semicircle in the world. The vast Gobi desert gives people a desolate feeling.
Feel.
Zhao Xuan paused and watched the whole process of the sunset, until after the last ray of light dissipated, the whole world suddenly changed color.
The night is like a curtain, and the sky is filled with stars.
"Let's go back."
Zhao Xuan glanced around. As soon as the sunlight disappeared, the breeze in the Gobi desert seemed to have become manic, whistling loudly and bringing a chill.
Finding the correct direction, Zhao Xuan galloped towards the horizon.
Huangsha City is an extremely important border town in the southwest border. It is only two hundred kilometers away from the territory of Wuhun Palace. There is a flat Gobi between the two. It only takes two or three hours for a team of light cavalry to enter.
The territory of Wuhun Palace.
After what happened to the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the empire spent a lot of effort to build this place. Not only did the city double in size, but the number of defenders increased by half, and there was even a team of 100 royal soul masters stationed here.
Because it is a border town, the economy of Huangsha City is not developed. The city gate is closed at night. Zhao Xuan crossed the wall of Huangsha City from high altitude, then fell into the city and walked towards the city lord's palace.
Walking to the city lord's mansion, after the guards reported, a middle-aged man wearing silver armor walked out and offered his hand to Zhao Xuan from a distance.
"Sir, what can you gain from this trip?"
The middle-aged man's name is Xia Xing, the city lord of Huangsha City, a powerful soul king level expert.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Xia Xing's eyes flickered with doubts and distrust.
Although in the eyes of the empire, this matter is just a strange incident on the border, but as the lord of Huangsha City, this matter is the top priority besides garrison.
He was originally happy that the empire sent someone here, but he was disappointed when he saw such a young man who was too young.
Xia Xing thought to himself that maybe he was just perfunctory, because he didn't understand why the empire would send such a young man to handle this matter, but since the letter said that he would have full authority to handle it, he couldn't say anything more.
Zhao Xuan nodded, pinched his eyebrows with a headache and said: "There is a harvest, the identity of the enemy has been confirmed, but there is no trace of him."
A strange color flashed in Xia Xing's eyes, and he glanced at Zhao Xuan suspiciously, wondering if the young man might have fabricated the answer because he lost face. He also visited the villages where the accident happened, but found nothing.
.
But then I thought about it, since the empire sent such a young man, maybe he really has the ability?
Xia Xing shook his head with some self-deprecation, fearing that he was overthinking, but he still smiled and said to Zhao Xuan: "Sir, please come in. I have arranged a place to live in the City Lord's Mansion, and also notified the guards. You can come in and out at will in the future."
."
"Excuse me, sir."
Zhao Xuan bowed his hand to Xia Xing.
City Lord's Mansion, guest room.
The wind above the Gobi was mixed with yellow sand. When I was arranging my clothes, the yellow sand fell from the gaps in my clothes, covering the ground with a thin layer.
Zhao Xuan smacked his lips as he looked at the yellow sand on the ground, and then went to sit cross-legged on the bed to practice. At his current level of cultivation, sleeping or not had no effect on him. It was just that the night in the Gobi was full of gloomy energy, and he had no idea about that.
The sense of the evil god's aura had weakened, so he was getting twice the result with half the effort, which made him feel that the gain was not worth the loss.
When he closed his eyes and practiced, Zhao Xuan could clearly feel the joy of the soul power in his body. After half a year of training, Zhao Xuan's soul power reached level 69, and the soul saint realm was clearly in sight.
"Okay, keep practicing!"
After calming down, Zhao Xuan didn't want to waste a single moment and started practicing.
…
It was midnight, but the desert was not quiet. The wind was roaring.
On the city wall of Huangsha City, the city guard on duty shrank his neck, held a spear in his elbow, put his hands into his sleeves, and shrank into a ball.
"Damn it, it's spring and the wind is still so cold."
He couldn't help but curse in a low voice, then raised his head and looked outside the city. The stars in the sky were bright and the silver moon was bright. Although his sight could not see every scene clearly like in the daytime, he could still see the outline of every scene in the distance clearly.
shadowy.
"Haha, don't scold me kid, the shift will change in half an hour, and look at the soul master, isn't he here to guard you?"
A soldier next to him shook his head and laughed. At the end of his words, he raised his head in a certain direction and whispered.
The complaining soldier just looked over there, then looked around again, and asked the soldier in front of him: "Hey, Lao Zhang, has something happened in the past year? I feel like
It looks a bit uneven."
Obviously, the sudden increase in troops in Huangsha City made him, an insignificant soldier, realize that something was wrong.
The soldier called Lao Zhang replied in a low voice: "You just realized what you were doing? I told you not to spread the word."
The soldier's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
"This is what my nephew who is studying in a high-level soul master academy told me. Do you know the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? It is one of the top three sects and a wealthy family in the soul master world!"
"But last year, this sect suffered a disaster and was almost wiped out! Even the titled Douluo was wiped out!"
"Hiss, who did this?!"
The soldier took a breath of cold air and was stunned by the news. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "It can't be the Wuhun Palace, right?"
Lao Zhang was startled and quickly covered his mouth. Fortunately, the wind was strong at the moment and no one noticed the conversation between the two.
He reprimanded with a cold expression: "You kid, don't be so surprised."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Was it done by Wuhun Palace?"
The soldier nodded hurriedly. He was also frightened by the news. Not to mention such a wealthy family in the soul master world, he could not offend even an ordinary soul master. However, a wealthy family suddenly suffered a catastrophe.
It's hard to imagine the impact.
"Hey, it seems true. I heard some news that since the death of the last pope, this pope has become very ambitious and powerful. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family is on good terms with the royal family. Do you think this is the right thing to do?
What about the royal influence?”
"Broken arm!"
"Hey, you are quite smart." Lao Zhang looked at the soldier in surprise.
The soldier gave him a roll of his eyes: "I'm not a fool, but the Wuhun Palace's ambition is indeed hateful."
"Who says it's not the case? The reputation of Wuhun Palace was quite good back then, but now all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and the empire can't help but be on guard."
"..."
Not far away from them, a soul master couldn't help but shook his head while listening to the conversation between the two. Do ordinary people know about these things now?
Sighing, he raised his head and continued to look at the empty Gobi. Suddenly he frowned and rubbed his eyes.
Why do you feel like there is a dark shadow?
He quickly walked to the top of the wall and looked away. This time he could really see clearly that hundreds of black shadows on the distant Gobi were running towards Huangsha City at great speed.
As he looked, countless pairs of sharp eyes looked at him. He was startled and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. After swallowing hard, he shouted to the left and right: "Sound the alarm bell."
