The Pope sat quietly on the wooden chair for a long time without speaking. Zuo Jianming did not dare to disturb him. After half a quarter of an hour, the Pope stood up leisurely and said:
"I will handle the internal affairs of the Holy War Hall. You only need to guard Suchuan City."
Zuo Jianming beat his chest with his right fist, lowered his head and said: "I will obey the Pope's instructions."
Seeing that the Pope was about to get up and leave, Zuo Jianming said again: "Your Holiness, there is a disciple of the Holy War Hall coming to visit outside the door. Do you need my subordinates to come out to greet him?"
"You can make your own decisions on such small matters."
After saying this, the Pope turned into a ball of white smoke and disappeared.
Zuo Jianming looked at the place where the Pope disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he asked this just now was to test whether Zhang Yanshi was deliberately arranged by His Majesty the Pope.
"Since the Pope said so, it shouldn't be the case. Well, maybe I'm overthinking it."
…………
Outside the door, Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di were chatting and waiting. At some point, the white-robed guard appeared behind Zhang Yanshi. If Zhou Di had not paid more attention, they would not have noticed it.
Although Zhou Di remained calm on the face, he was extremely surprised in his heart. He couldn't see clearly how strong this guard was, but his ability to conceal his aura alone was much higher than him. He had a vague feeling that this guard was much stronger than him.
More powerful than he imagined.
From the chat with Zhang Yanshi, I learned that Zhang Yanshi’s master Zhou Mo is a strong man who has reached the realm of heroes. However, Zhou Di felt that the cultivation level of this white-robed guard was higher than the realm of heroes. He was very
I'm curious, how did Elder Zhou Mo manage to let a person with a higher level than himself be his disciple's bodyguard?
Zhou Di vaguely felt that this matter was not simple.
"We have to find an opportunity to explain this matter to Zhang Yanshi."
The white-robed guard seemed to notice something strange about Zhou Di, but he just glanced at him and continued to remain silent.
"It's useless to wait here. It's better to find a place to live temporarily..."
Before Zhou Di finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. He felt that there was an aura approaching, and the person coming was very powerful.
Zhang Yanshi noticed Zhou Di's strange behavior and turned around to look. Only the white-robed guard looked slightly surprised.
"Hey, what a coincidence, I meet you here."
A figure quickly descended from the sky, and just as it landed, the person's ankle suddenly jerked as if it was cramped...
"Oh, I'm going!!!"
Yi Xifeng stumbled and fell seven or eight feet away, sitting on the ground.
Zhang Yanshi: "..."
Zhou Di: "..."
White-robed guard: "..."
Yi Xifeng patted the dust on his body and stood up slowly, as if his mistake just now did not embarrass him at all. The fair young man shook his legs gently, and his cramped ankle immediately recovered.
Zhang Yanshi and the other three laughed, feeling a little strange. This was the first time they had seen the hero squat on their butts.
Yi Xifeng sighed inwardly. The bad luck in his body suddenly broke out just now, causing his calves to cramp uncontrollably.
"When will this damn bad luck end?"
Yi Xifeng coughed twice and said hello to everyone, but when he saw the man in white robe behind Zhang Yanshi, his expression was obviously stunned.
Zhang Yanshi looked confused and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"I know... I don't know him. I made a mistake. He just looks a bit like a friend of mine."
After changing his words, Yi Xifeng changed the subject and said, "Why is Captain Zhou here?"
"It's a long story, let's talk about it later. Are you also here to see Zuo Jianming, Lord Zuo City?"
Yi Xifeng nodded. Hearing Zhou Di use the word "ye", he guessed that they were also looking for Zuo Jianming.
"It seems that you came at the wrong time." Zhang Yanshi said: "The Zuo City Lord went into seclusion a few days ago."
At this moment, the inner door of the city lord's mansion suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a sword on his waist slowly walked out of it, cupping his fists as he walked and saying:
"The Lord of Zhenbei Pavilion is here. The Lord of this city is not welcoming you from afar, and is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Zhang Yanshi: "..."
Zhou Di: "..."
Yi Xifeng smiled and said: "It seems that Captain Zhou's information is not very accurate."
…………
Yi Xifeng met Zuo Jianming for the first time on behalf of the Futa Kingdom. The content of their conversation was mostly about the war on the front line. Zuo Jianming's ancestral home was the Zhenwu Kingdom, and Yi Xifeng had stayed in the Zhenwu Dao Hall for so long.
Even though they are half Zhenwu people, the two of them can communicate quite harmoniously.
Zuo Jianming was confused about why Yi Xifeng suddenly broke the peace and put pressure on Andre.
Yi Xifeng only asked two questions.
"Once Endless Wilderness makes peace with other sects except the Holy War Hall, do you think the other sects will reject it?"
Zuo Jianming was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. Just as Yi Xifeng said, if the Divine Grace Sect really does this, the countries in the Western Regions will no longer be affiliated with the Holy War Hall.
"The whole world is confused by the peace before us, but is the world really peaceful?"
After a long time, Zuo Jianming stood up, clasped his fists, and saluted Yi Xifeng in the Zhenwu Kingdom etiquette.
"His Excellency, Mr. Xie Tinghou, clears up the confusion."
Yi Xifeng accepted the gift. The purpose of his conversation with Zuo Jianming was firstly to communicate the current situation, and secondly to test whether this person was worthy of cooperation. Now it seems that both purposes have been achieved. Zuo Jianming's behavior at least
Unlike the spies of the Divine Grace Religion.
After entertaining Yi Xifeng, it was time to talk with Zhang Yanshi.
Zhang Yanshi came to visit on behalf of his master, so the two of them didn't say much, just a few polite words and it ended.
Zuo Jianming originally wanted to keep a few people and hold a night banquet, but of course it was mainly because of Yi Xifeng, but Yi Xifeng refused.
"I appreciate City Lord Zuo's kindness, but I have other things to do, so I can't stay too long. Next time, definitely next time."
Zuo Jianming saw that Yi Xifeng was resolute, so he did not do much to persuade them to stay and personally sent several people outside the city lord's mansion.
After Zhang Yanshi and others said goodbye, they casually found an inn to sit down. After listening to Zhou Di clearly explain the reason for coming to Suchuan City, Zhang Yanshi also explained his speculation about the demon sect.
Yi Xifeng was silent for a moment after hearing this. After he glanced at the guards behind Zhang Shishi, he said:
"The eight thousand demon sect disciples who captured Jinsha City were hidden by the demon sect. They are not the same group as the demon sect disciples currently guarding the city."
Zhang Yanyan and Zhou Di looked at each other, they didn't know about this.
"I'm still sending people to trace where those eight thousand people have gone, but I guess there's a high chance they won't be traced."
Zhou Di frowned and asked, "Why is this?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head and replied: "There are some things I can't explain to you clearly, which involve the sect behind me."
Seeing this, Zhang Yanshi and the other two stopped asking any more questions. As the oldest sect in the Seven Kingdoms Continent, the Zhenwu Dao Temple had some things that were difficult to explain clearly.
