This is a rather grand manor in Nanyuan City. According to legend, it used to be the headquarters of a family. In the end, the family was destroyed by the alien spirit, and it became the residence of the commander of one of the squadrons of the Emperor Dragon Army.
The man who lives in this manor is named Guan Tianrong, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Huanxuan Realm. He is only half a step away from breaking through to the half-step holy level and becoming the best among the people.
.
Speaking of which, one of the teams under Guan Tianrong was the Twilight Team, and he knew quite a bit about the captain of the Twilight Team, and knew that there was a Geng family behind him.
It is said that Geng Yu, the second-day talent of Long Academy, seems to be Geng Mu's nephew. Geng Mu should also have a good relationship with the commander. Therefore, Guan Tianrong's attitude towards Geng Mu is quite different from his attitude towards other team captains.
Somewhat different.
Today, a distinguished guest suddenly arrived in the manor, and Guan Tianrong, who was at the pinnacle of the Hua Xuan Realm, could only stand aside respectfully, with a flattering look on his face.
"Guan Dutong, do you know me?"
A young figure sitting at the table stared at Guan Tianrong with a strange look. The words he spoke seemed to have meaning and a strong sense of confidence.
"Haha, Master Geng Yu's name is known to everyone in Jiuzhong Longxiao. How could Guan not recognize you?"
Hearing this, Guan Tianrong smiled, and from the name he said, the young man sitting in the chair turned out to be Geng Yu, the second genius of the Canglong Emperor's Dragon Academy, second only to Luo Yao in the younger generation.
"I just don't know why Master Geng Yu suddenly came to our place? Do you need me to inform Commander Luo Yao?"
Guan Tianrong was making innuendoes, but upon hearing his last question, Geng Yu couldn't help but flash a glint in his eyes, startling the Lord Dutong.
Although both of them are at the pinnacle of Huaxuan Realm, their statuses are quite different. One is the commander of the dragon army of a small emperor in a remote city, and the other is a very popular figure in the Dragon Academy.
Moreover, Guan Tianrong knew clearly that Geng Yu was not only one of the best in the Dragon Academy and had the background of many powerful men in the Imperial Palace, but he also came from the Geng clan, and there were several powerful men in the clan who had reached the Holy Realm.
Guan Tianrong, who was alone, knew that he couldn't afford to offend such a young master. If the other party had any instructions, he would just follow them. The question he just asked was a bit reckless.
"I came to Nanyuan City this time, but I didn't tell Senior Brother Luo Yao that I wanted to stay in your village for a few days. Is it possible?"
Geng Yu did not answer Guan Tianrong's question directly, but the meaning behind his words was quite clear. The latter was also a mature man. From these few simple words, he could guess that these two great geniuses of Dragon Academy
There is not much friendship between them.
On the contrary, there may be some potential competition. It is naturally difficult for Guan Tianrong to navigate such muddy waters. If one accidentally suffers the same disaster, it will be too late to regret it.
"My uncle from the branch should be in your squadron. If it is convenient, can you let him come over?"
Geng Yu was arrogant, but his words were quite polite. He seemed to be asking Guan Tianrong, the landlord, for his opinion on everything, but in fact, there was something hidden in his heart that was hard to doubt.
"This is naturally convenient, but Captain Geng happened to be out on a mission. I also asked Master Geng Yu to wait for a few days. When he comes back, I will definitely bring him over as soon as possible!"
Guan Tianrong did not dare to show any slightness. The words that came out of his mouth made Geng Yu slightly disappointed, but the fact was that he could not force it and could only nod.
“It’s been so many days, Geng Mu’s mission should be almost completed, right?”
The words Geng Mu said to him before he left that day flashed through Guan Tianrong's mind, and a graceful figure couldn't help but emerge in his mind, secretly thinking that for Captain Xu, the commander really did everything possible.
Nowadays, in the Imperial Dragon Army of Nanyuan City, no one knows the commander's feelings towards Xu Hongzhuang, and his methods are obscure. Outsiders have no idea what kind of methods he used to get Xu Hongzhuang?
In the eyes of outsiders, the commander-in-chief was pursuing Captain Xu in an upright and open manner. Even Yao Meng, the commander of the squadron where the Hongyun Squadron was located, could not say much about this. After all, love between men and women was not prohibited in the Imperial Dragon Army.
But only some captains or commanders who had received orders from Luo Yao knew what the commander had done secretly. This time, the mission of the Twilight Team was not just as simple as going to Pingjiang Town to hunt down the supernatural beings.
.
One of the cryptic tasks is to kill everyone in the Red Cloud Team except for the captain Xu Hongzhuang. It is best to use the power of the supernatural spirit to do this. Once a critical moment is reached, it is also possible for the Twilight Team to take action personally.
However, Guan Tianrong was not too worried. He knew very well what the Red Cloud Team was like, and the Twilight Team was one of the best teams in Nanyuan City's Imperial Dragon Army.
Among them, captain Geng Mu's strength is definitely among the best among the captains. He is even just one step away from competing for the position of commander-in-chief and is on equal footing with Guan Tianrong.
Guan Tianrong didn't know these things in too much detail, but he knew a rough idea. He believed that as long as the Twilight Squadron could successfully complete the "mission" and return, his squadron and himself might be rewarded by the commander-in-chief.
As for the young master Geng Yu next to him, Guan Tianrong didn't have the time to think too much at the moment. It was better not to get involved in this kind of battle between the geniuses of Long Academy.
For a moment, the manor fell into a kind of silence. The second genius of the Dragon Academy and the commander of the Imperial Dragon Army did not speak at all, and they did not know what they were thinking.
Tap tap tap...
After a long time, the peace was finally broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and then a figure appeared flying towards the place, making Guan Tianrong frown slightly.
"What's going on? You're so flustered. Didn't you see that there are distinguished guests here in Bendutong?"
In front of Geng Yu, Guan Tianrong did not want the young master of Long Academy to see that he was lax in running the army, and when he scolded the words and saw that figure, he couldn't help but be a little confused.
Because this person is Guan Tianrong's deputy. Although he is not the captain of the team, his strength has already reached the late stage of Huaxuan Realm and is comparable to some ordinary commanders.
Moreover, Guan Tianrong knew that his deputy Gu Yuan was strong, but most importantly, he acted very steadily. Even if he encountered some major events, he would maintain a rational heart and would not make mistakes due to impatience.
Gu Yuan, who had always been steady, was so flustered at this moment. Wasn't this embarrassing himself in front of Master Geng Yu? But at this moment, Guan Tianrong had already ignored these small things. He was more concerned about what happened?
"Master Capital, Twilight... Something happened to Twilight's team!"
Now that Lord Dutong has asked the question, even if Gu Yuan sees a stranger next to him, he can only tell the truth. As soon as he said this, both Guan Tianrong and Geng Yu's expressions changed slightly.
The two of them had just talked about Geng Mu, the captain of the Twilight Team, but they didn't expect that someone would bring news in the blink of an eye, and judging from Gu Yuan's face, it seemed that it was bad news.
Especially when he saw a cloth bag held in Gu Yuan's right hand, Guan Tianrong's face became even more gloomy. He vaguely guessed the worst possibility, and his face couldn't help but become as gloomy as water.
"The Holy Spirit in Pingjiang Town is certainly powerful, but the overall strength of the Twilight Team is not bad, and Captain Geng is at the middle stage of the Hua Xuan Realm. What can happen?"
Guan Tianrong had a bad premonition in his heart, but he kept analyzing in his mouth, as if he wanted to find a reason for himself, but these analyzes all seemed extremely pale in front of the facts.
"Lord Du Tong, look!"
Gu Yuan's face was also full of surprise. Although he felt that Master Dutong's analysis was very reasonable, he didn't say any more and directly turned the bag in his hand downwards. Then a lot of things were covered by him.
Fell to the ground.
Wow!
When the sound came out, Guan Tianrong and Geng Yu's eyes froze together. With their knowledge, they naturally knew that the pile of things were broken soul cards. It looked like someone had lost his soul.
"These...are all the soul cards of Twilight Team members?"
After all, Guan Tianrong was a metropolitan commander. Although he felt a storm in his heart, he did not lose his composure too much. His deep voice contained a touch of suppressed anger.
In fact, Guan Tianrong didn't need to ask anymore. Based on Gu Yuan's words just now, he already knew that his guess was correct. Every soldier of the Emperor Dragon Army would leave a soul card in the army.
After all, the missions of the Emperor Dragon Army are extremely dangerous, and people will die in almost every mission. The military regulations that points will be deducted if the mission fails, make countless soldiers of the Emperor Dragon Army no luck, and they can only hunt the supernatural beings bravely.
The Twilight Squadron belonged to Guan Tianrong's squadron, so the soul cards naturally stayed in the squadron. But at this moment, a large number of broken soul cards were poured out, which made him subconsciously feel that something big had happened.
"It is indeed the soul cards of Twilight Team members, no more, no less, exactly ten!"
Gu Yuan nodded with a heavy face. He also knew how much the Dutong valued the Twilight Squadron. Now that the Twilight Squadron has been wiped out, I am afraid that the overall strength of this squadron will have to drop.
After all, not every team has two powerhouses in the Metamorphosis Realm, not to mention that Geng Mu, the captain of the Twilight Team, is a genuine mid-level powerhouse in the Metamorphosis Realm.
"You mean... Geng Mu is also dead?"
Guan Tianrong said nothing with a gloomy face, but Geng Yu on the side couldn't help it. Geng Mu, the captain of the Twilight Team, was a member of the Geng family. He couldn't just die outside inexplicably. He had to find out.
