In a separate courtyard, mournful wails suddenly broke out, but there was no movement outside, causing no waves.
But when he saw Wu Ming placing his hand on the head of a captured demon king, with silver-gray snake shadows flashing in his eyes, showing a strange and sinister look, and a hint of evil intent, the screams soon stopped abruptly.
"Oh!"
Wu Ming casually threw down the twisted and curled corpse with bleeding from its orifices. His expression was stern, and a hint of coldness was drawn at the corner of his mouth. He stared at the people and demons who were still fighting. His eyes turned and fell on Ximen Feng. "The Ximen family has suffered heavy losses."
It’s true, but the identity of the Dragon Lord who died in the West Sea Dragon Palace is a bit coincidental!”
Through the soul-searching technique, I learned from the memory of this powerful demon king that the Ximen family was indeed well prepared for this big auction. Even the Dragon Clan itself had to exchange part of the treasures from the hinterland of Shenzhou in exchange for the equipment to deal with this evil disaster.
A large amount of urgently needed resources.
For this auction, the Ximen family sent a third-level semi-saint elder, and the Xihai Dragon Palace even sent a fourth-level supreme dragon elder.
Moreover, he is a direct descendant of the Xihai Dragon Clan. In terms of seniority, he is only one generation lower than the Xihai Dragon Emperor Ao Zheng. His name is Ao.
This dragon has great prestige in the West Sea Dragon Palace, and is a representative figure of the anti-war faction. It has always been the talker of communication between the West Sea and the human race.
Even Ao Zheng has always been his right-hand man, handling many important matters.
Unexpectedly, during a trip to a big auction, he ended up in the Western Region.
"In this guy's memory, there is no one who was the initiator of this interception. The treasures from the Xihai Dragon Palace that Ao carried with him were all particularly precious. It looked like a murder to seize the treasure and sabotage the auction.
, an operation to attack the Chinese people and dragons!"
Wu Ming squinted his eyes, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.
On the surface, this matter is very simple, but the key is that Ao's identity is very special.
So special that if you have a special mission and the treasures you carry include special treasures that have not been revealed on the surface, it is worth pondering!
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me, but it happened just when I was about to go to Zhongtang, and..."
Wu Ming thought about the sudden impulse but no clue. The gloomy look on his face flashed away, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
"ah……"
There were no accidents in the battle, including the four Semi-Saint Demon Lords and dozens of fallen demons, all of whom were killed on the spot without exception.
Except for Wu Ming who caught a second-level demon king alive with lightning speed, even if the others tried to catch him, they all encountered fierce resistance and chose to self-destruct without exception.
This cruel method is very similar to a dead soldier, or a martyr!
But when I think about it, I find it a bit ridiculous. These fallen demons have a distorted psychology. They have given up everything long ago, deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors, and forgot their ancestors for selfish reasons. How can they truly become martyrs?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help, and thank you all for your help!"
Ximen Feng hurried back and thanked Wu Ming.
"Here, the storage ring has not been opened yet, Lord Ximen can tap it lightly!"
Wu Ming casually threw the unchecked Najie over.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I can trust the prince, and...this is the prince's trophy. Except for the value of my Ximen family's goods, the rest belongs to the prince, and I also have a thank you gift..."
Ximen Fengdui smiled.
"No need, Lord Ximen, it's better to check it, in case something is missing and there will be no rumors!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"this……"
Ximen Feng's forehead was gradually sweating, but under Wu Ming's indifferent gaze, he did not dare to refuse. He immediately checked and said quickly, "Your Highness Gaoyi, some of the things inside are indeed lost this time from my Ximen family.
Goods and treasures!"
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces. They were originally a little dissatisfied that Wu Ming had given up the storage ring, making it difficult for them to do something. At this time, their thoughts suddenly changed. Under the leadership of a caring person, they all gave the storage ring to Ximen Feng on their own initiative.
Ximen Feng had no choice but to open the rings one by one in front of everyone, confirm the list of goods and treasures, and then return the rest.
Moreover, he publicly promised that the lost cultural treasures of the Ximen family have been recovered. This time, everyone has contributed to show their gratitude. Not only will the cross-border transmission fee be waived, but even the warriors who do not leave will be given a hefty thank you gift.
superior.
As for the transmission issue that everyone is most concerned about, Ximen Feng also promised that he will now report the matter to Tongbao Trading Co., and he believes that a new order will be issued soon.
If nothing else happens, Fujing Tianmen will be reopened early tomorrow morning.
Moreover, there is a grand banquet for guests at the City Lord's Mansion tonight. Everyone is invited to come and meet them. Of course, they must have a resounding name to cleanse Wu Ming.
Although Wu Ming has no relationship with these people, including Ximen Feng, he has no spiritual stone relationship, but since Xingzang has been exposed, there is no need to hide it and he simply accepts it openly.
As for making friends with the people in the scene whether intentionally, deliberately, or indifferently, Wu Ming was open to all who came.
At his level, especially with his great reputation, he used to be a loner, but now that he has shown up, there is no need to act like a loner, even if he really is a loner.
It's easy to do things like pretending to be a snake and socializing on the spot. Even if you haven't done it for many years, you can still do it easily.
Under the dark starry sky, there was a dinner party, where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After three rounds of drinking, Ximen Feng announced on the spot that Fu Jing Tianmen would reopen early tomorrow morning, and it was no different from what he had said before, and everyone was relieved.
But no one noticed that after the banquet ended, a figure that was supposed to leave disappeared into the city lord's palace.
"call……"
Ximen Feng wiped his sweat and returned to his courtyard with a gloomy look on his face. He grabbed the teapot on the stone table and drank half of it before he felt something was wrong.
Even though he is already a powerful semi-saint in the third realm, he is not an ascetic monk. Instead, he knows how to enjoy.
After hundreds of years of cultivation, the hope of breaking through again has become very slim. Although he is not a person who loves beauty, he still has a few beautiful maids and concubines.
Here is the courtyard of one of my favorite concubines.
But until now, there was not even a sound, and no one appeared. There were too many chores in the past few days, which made him upset, and he only realized it later.
When Ximen Feng saw the figure slowly walking out of the shadows and appearing silently, as if he was there, yet also an illusory figure, his heart was in his throat, and he almost forgot that he was a semi-saint.
The strong one barely managed to make a sound.
"Don't worry, Lord Ximen, I will never touch your concubine!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"My lord, you are not enjoying yourself to the fullest. I can prepare another banquet for you!"
The corner of Ximen Feng's eyes twitched, and in the palm of his right hand under his sleeve robe, he silently held a token, which was the central token that controlled the city defense formation.
"The Lord of Ximen City is very wary!"
Wu Ming sat down at the stone table as if there was no one around him, took out a bottle of wine and took a sip, saying it was neither salty nor indifferent.
"Ha, the prince is joking!"
Ximen Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, let's not talk secretly. You should have detailed information about the attack on the caravans of all parties in Tongbao Trading Company, right?"
Wu Ming waved his hand and got straight to the point.
"I am just the lord of a city in the Western Region. How could there possibly be..."
Ximen Feng instinctively defended himself, but looking at Wu Ming's obscure face under the moonlight, he sighed secretly in his heart and placed a few jade slips in front of Wu Ming.
As the lord of a city, especially a third-level semi-saint, he is also a big shot with hands and eyes that can reach the sky, whether in the Ximen family or in the outside world.
But even so, in front of Wu Ming, he still felt like he was standing on a high mountain.
It is not only the aura developed by living in a high position for a long time, but also an innate nobility, and the majesty of holding the universe and the pearl of wisdom in one's hands!
“Interesting, very interesting!”
Wu Ming looked at the jade slips as if no one else was around. After drinking tea, he rubbed the jade slips and looked at Ximen Fengdao with a half-smile, "City Lord Ximen, I don't speak secretly in front of Ming people. I am very interested in your plan.
"
"Your Majesty is joking, please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what you are talking about!"
The fierce light in Ximen Feng's eyes flashed away, and he subconsciously clenched the token in his hand, waiting to launch the city defense formation. No matter what happened, he would die with the extremely smart and extremely dangerous young man in front of him.
"Yeah?"
Wu Ming smiled, as if he was not aware of the danger, and said with a deep look, "The Lord of Ximen City is a smart man. How could he know that behind this incident, His Highness the Crown Prince of Donghai Dragon Palace did not deliberately let it go and use your hands to eliminate dissidents?"
"You...what did you say? What do you know?"
Ximen Feng's color suddenly changed, his eyes were fierce, and he was even more obviously uneasy and frightened.
It would be reasonable to say that Wu Ming could tell something through clues. After all, Wu Ming's past has already explained everything.
But when I heard that the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea might be involved, I couldn't help but feel horrified!
"Even if I don't say anything about that loach's ambition, I think you... or you should feel it most clearly!"
Wu Ming knocked on the table and said with a half-smile, "You used the hands of the fallen demons to weaken the power of the Four Seas Dragon Palace. Various clues were deliberately directed to the demons, but the biggest flaw was revealed."
"What flaw?"
Ximen Feng didn't realize it at all. He was being led by the nose and asked subconsciously.
"Death List!"
Wu Ming smiled evilly, tapped the table and said, "On the Four Seas Dragon Clan side, those who died were all staunch anti-war factions, while on the Four Seas Dragon Shang side, those who died were all pro-dragon factions. Don't you think it's strange, Lord Ximen?"
"You...how did you..."
Ximen Feng suddenly felt horrified and broke into a cold sweat.
In fact, he was also one of the people who selected the candidates for the death list, so he naturally knew the style of those fallen dragon masters.
But how could Wu Ming, an outsider, know so well?
Moreover, the dead people on the Four Seas Dragon Shang side were also specially selected.
"Lord Ximen, think about it carefully. I am much more reliable than the ungrateful, selfish and virtuous couple in the Dongfang family."
Wu Ming stood up slowly, walked to Ximen Feng, and patted him on the shoulder, "At least, if something cannot be done or is exposed, I will not push you out of the tank!"
Ximen Feng stood stunned in the courtyard, his face distorted for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.
