Three days later, Han Yi and Meikui rode the Garuda to Tianhai City.
"Master, don't you ask me what I said to Lu Li?" Meikui endured it for three days and finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"That's your and Brother Lu's secret, I won't ask about it." Han Yi replied calmly.
"If what he is going to do next may cost him his life, doesn't the master intend to stop him?"
"That is his own choice and has nothing to do with me."
After hearing this, Meikui fell silent. For some reason, he always felt that Han Yi seemed to be a little different from before.
When the two of them were riding the Garuda to Tianhai City, at the west gate of Gale Wind City, a slightly fat young man was holding a white porcelain jar and leaving to the west.
"Xiaoyu, I will take you home now."
"I'm sorry, I can't abide by the agreement between us, but I will definitely avenge you."
The young man looked at the white porcelain jar, smiled and said.
The golden-winged bird flew for only an hour. Han Yi saw the outline of Tianhai City. The city that he used to think was huge and spectacular is now so small in his eyes. Compared with Cangzhou City, Tianhai City is just insignificant.
A place like a small town.
After flying for about half a quarter of an hour, Han Yi patted the Garuda's neck. The Garuda chirped and immediately swooped down towards a forest below the ground.
Jumping off the back of the golden-winged bird, Han Yi gently stroked its lowered head with a slight smile on his lips.
"Xiao Jin, please move around here now. Don't let anyone see you."
"Violent." The golden-winged bird chirped in response.
"Go ahead."
Han Yi waved his hand, and Xiao Jin jumped up and ran deep into the forest.
"Let's go, Tianhai City. I never thought I would come back here in my lifetime."
As he spoke, he flew out with a movement of his body, his black cloak cutting the air and making a hunting sound. Mei Kui moved like a ghost, following closely behind Han Yi.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the two of them arrived at Tianhai City from the forest a hundred miles away, and entered the city mixed in with the crowd.
Han Yi led Mei Kui along the familiar streets, and scenes of memories came to mind. Good ones, bad ones, happy ones and unhappy ones all came back, and they came back to find him.
He hadn't been away for a long time, but those memories gave him the feeling that they had changed over the years. Probably because he didn't want to return to this place from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't really forget it, so he came back again.
Only when you get here can you feel this way.
The two people came to the Han family's foreign house and looked at the simple and dilapidated small house from a distance. The teenagers were surrounding a thin child outside the house, pushing and shoving him.
"Hmph, you loser, hurry up and hand over your cultivation resources for this month." An older child said angrily, glaring at the thin child.
"Why should I give it to you?" The thin child pursed his lips.
"Why, for this." The older child punched the thin child in the face, and the thin child fell to the ground, with blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
He stared at the older child fiercely and held the things in his arms tightly.
"Damn it, you dare to stare at me and beat me." The eldest child was furious and ordered, and immediately five or six children gathered around and kicked and punched the thin child.
Han Yi looked at it from a distance, frowned, and took a step forward.
"Stop." A voice suddenly sounded in the distance. The older children turned around and saw the person who made the voice, and immediately ran away in fright.
"A bunch of bastards." The young man came to the skinny child and helped him up. "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Fortunately, he won't die." The thin child looked at the older children who were running away, with a fierce look in his eyes. One day, he would take revenge.
"How about this, you join our underworld, and I will protect you." The young man said.
"Underworld?" The thin boy didn't understand what kind of organization it was.
"The underworld is an organization founded by our boss Han Long. Many of the younger members of the family have joined our underworld." The young man said proudly.
"Master Han Long, the grandson of the fourth elder."
"Yes, with him protecting us, not many people in the Han family dare to bully us."
"But, aren't only direct descendants allowed to join?"
"Of course not. When Boss Han Long founded the underworld, he said that no matter whether he is a direct descendant or a descendant of the family, as long as he is willing to follow him, he can join the underworld."
"You don't want anything from me, do you?"
"Let me go, what do you think our underworld is, robbers or bandits? We don't charge protection fees. All you need to do is support Master Han Long. Another point is that the most important thing in our underworld is loyalty. We must not betray our brothers. Right
You cannot betray the organization, otherwise if you are discovered, I think you know the consequences."
"You don't have to pay protection fees, okay, then I'll join." The thin boy looked into the young man's eyes and said.
"Well, not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to receive a little brother when I went out for a walk today." The young man looked at the thin boy, "It's because the cultivation level is a bit low, and the spiritual disciple is in the early stage, but it doesn't matter, we don't need you to fight.
."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Han family's inner palace.
"Come with me. You don't have to live here anymore. The gang members all live in the inner palace."
"I can do that too?" The boy was surprised.
"Of course, this is our exclusive benefit."
Han Yi in the far corner looked at the backs of the two people leaving, his face under the cloak was very exciting.
"Underworld, I said that, but Han Long actually remembered it."
"A mafia that doesn't charge protection fees is a complete bastard on earth. There are also benefits. This Han Long really has some ideas."
"Master, do you want to go take a look?" Mei Kui asked after hearing Han Yi's whisper.
"No, we have more important things to do. We must first find out where the assassins of Shadow Hall are lurking in Tianhai City, and what their purpose is for gathering here."
After he finished speaking, he took Meikui and left. The two settled in a remote inn in the city. While eating, Han Yi asked the waiter in the store for information.
"Xiao Er, do you know if anything big has happened in Tianhai City recently?" Han Yi asked while eating food, while Mei Kui sat quietly and ate quietly.
"Big event, objectively what kind of big event are you talking about?"
"Both of us were originally from Tianhai City, but we went out for training more than a year ago. Now that we are back, we want to understand the changes in the structure of Tianhai City before making future plans."
"I see." The waiter sat down and looked around and said, "If you want to talk about big things, there is one thing. Do you know the Cheng family?"
"I know, one of the three major families in Tianhai City, but wasn't the Cheng family destroyed by a mysterious person before we left?" Han Yi said calmly.
"Yes, but three months ago, overnight, the Cheng family suddenly came back to life."
"What?" Han Yi was startled and looked up at the waiter, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific situation. I just heard from people that Cheng Ling, the second son of the Cheng family, and Cheng Shan, the fourth elder, are not dead. Now they have returned to Tianhai City to rebuild the Cheng family, and they also plan to take action against the Han family and the Wu family.
"
"Depending on how the two of them deal with the Han family and the Wu family, the background of those two families is not weak at all. There must be as many as ten monks in the spiritual master stage."
"Objectively, you don't know this. Cheng Shan, the fourth elder of the Cheng family, is now a monk in the Lingzong period, so it is not difficult to deal with the Han family and the Wu family. In the past three months, the Cheng family has been fighting against the Han family and the Wu family.
There are constant frictions, and it is never the Cheng family that suffers. Some people say that the current head of the Cheng family, Cheng Ling, is very calculating, and every friction catches the Han and Wu families off guard."
"Cheng Ling." Han Yi frowned, that guy was indeed difficult to deal with.
"And it is said that the Han and Wu families have now concluded an alliance and are preparing to join forces to deal with the Cheng family. Tianhai City will not be peaceful in the future." The waiter stood up after saying this, "You guys eat slowly, I will go first.
Busy."
"Yeah." Han Yi threw a silver coin to the waiter. The waiter was suddenly full of surprise and thanked him repeatedly.
"The Hanwu Alliance, the Cheng family, and the hidden Shadow Hall, I didn't expect that the structure of Tianhai City would become so complicated."
"Could it be said that the gathering of Shadow Hall assassins here has something to do with the Cheng family? Three months ago, the Cheng family resurrected, and Lingfu disciples also began to disappear three months ago." A small wooden figure suddenly appeared in Han Yi's mind.
Box, "Those merchants in Sang Yu City also disappeared a few months ago. Could it be a coincidence?"
"Coincidence, there are not so many coincidences in this world."
After Han Yi and Mei Kui finished eating, they went back to their room to discuss the next plan of action. He sat down at the table and frowned slightly.
"Meikui, based on your understanding of Shadow Hall, what kind of thing would make them mobilize so many assassins to gather in one place?"
"Except for some assassination operations that require the cooperation of many people, only the competition for certain important resources will make the Shadow Hall mobilize so many assassins." Meikui thought for a while and said.
"There are no characters in Tianhai City who are worthy of such a big fight by Shadow Hall. The only possibility is that there are some kind of treasures here that make them excited." Han Yi said with a smile, "It seems that we need to contact the people of the Han family and the Wu family.
Now, if there is something in Tianhai City that can make Shadow Hall covet, then these two families will obviously not know about it."
"Besides, I think the force secretly supporting the Cheng family is probably the Shadow Hall."
"Well, when we received the mission to assassinate our master, the order was personally issued by a protector of the Shadow Hall." Meikui nodded.
"The Cheng family is really capable and can build relationships with the guardian-level figures of the Shadow Hall. Okay, let's start our separate operations. You will be responsible for the Cheng family. I want to know their every move.
Be careful, if our speculation is correct, the assassins of Shadow Hall are probably hiding in the Cheng family."
