As soon as there was a glimmer of light in the sky, Han Lie casually accepted a long-term mission in the mission hall and left Canghong Spiritual Academy. He did not say goodbye to Zhou Buzun, Leng Youruo and others, and chose to leave quietly. []
He was very relieved to leave Jing Lei under Zhou Buzun's care, and there were very few forces that could threaten Jing Lei. Even if something happened, Qin Xiyue would help, and there wouldn't be any big problems.
In the next week, Han Lie has been flying in the direction of the ancient city of death. The spiritual power in his body is as vast as the sea, and he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while consuming it, and replenish it with the breath of the eighth level of the spiritual wheel realm.
It was also enough to make some young people passing by not dare to act rashly. He wanted to reach the ancient city of death in the shortest possible time.
Finally, he stopped outside a huge city called "Blood Rain City". According to the map in his hand, there was a teleportation array in the central square of the Blood Rain City, which could directly teleport to people very close to the ancient city of death.
In the city, this can save a lot of distance.
Although Dongzhou has been in decline for many years, it still has a vast territory and abundant resources. Even if a strong person in the life and death realm wants to fly around Dongzhou by air control, it will really take a year. Therefore, the teleportation array is very useful.
It's necessary.
Han Lie hid in a forest outside Blood Rain City. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly formed a seal with his hands on his chest. The thunder mark between his eyebrows flashed out, but this time it exuded a faint blood-red halo.
.
Immediately, the blood-red halo emanating from the thunder mark suddenly flashed, and the corner of Han Lie's mouth curved, then he dispersed the seal and strode towards the gate of Blood Rain City.
He was just using the power of his ancestral veins to summon the blood curse in Shen Chongyun's body, so that Shen Chongyun could understand that it was Han Lie who was summoning him, and Han Lie also deliberately revealed his location to the blood curse. I believe that as long as Shen Chongyun is not stupid, he can
If you can find the vicinity of Blood Rain City through that sense, then you just need to wait quietly in Blood Rain City.
Since he is going to the Ancient City of Death, Shen Chongyun, who was born in the Ancient City of Death, is indispensable. He knows the situation in the Ancient City of Death better than Han Lie, and may be able to provide him with some help and convenience.
Rumor has it that Blood Rain City was an ordinary small town a thousand years ago, but one day a thousand years ago, two behemoths suddenly fought in the sky above Blood Rain City, and blood continued to rain down on Blood Rain City, destroying the city.
The walls and even the buildings were dyed blood red, and after bathing in the blood of the two behemoths, the people in the city made rapid progress in their cultivation. Eventually, Blood Rain City slowly developed and was named after it.
After Han Lie paid a certain amount of gold coins and entered Blood Rain City, he found an inn and settled down. He lay on the window and looked at the various figures on the street. From time to time, he could detect a very strong aura.
There are many strong people in the Pulse Opening Realm, but there are also very few in the Spiritual Wheel Realm. After all, among the nearly a thousand strong people in the Spiritual Wheel Realm, perhaps only a handful can break through to the Life and Death Realm. Therefore, practicing in the Spiritual Wheel Realm
Even if hundreds or thousands of them appeared at the same time, it would not be surprising.
After all, there is a huge difference between the realm of mortals and the realm of immortals. How easy is it to shed the mortal body and ascend to the realm of immortals?
Next, in order to avoid any accidents, Han Lie practiced in his room without leaving home. As long as Shen Chongyun appeared near the Blood Rain City, his thunder pattern mark would be detected.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and Shen Chongyun still has not appeared within the scope of Blood Rain City. This makes Han Lie a little confused, how far is Shen Chongyun from Blood Rain City?
He was not worried at all that Shen Chongyun would betray him. Even if there was really a problem in the ancient city of death, Shen Chongyun would definitely be on his side. He knew this when he first met Shen Chongyun.
This is a person who keeps his promises.
What's more, as long as he has evil thoughts about himself in his heart, Han Lie will sense it through the thunder mark, and a single thought can kill him!
Sure enough, at noon on the fourth day, Han Lie sensed Shen Chongyun's aura, and at this distance, Han Lie directly transmitted the blood curse to Shen Chongyun to tell him his location.
"Dangdangdang~"
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. After Han Lie responded, he sat at the table and made two cups of tea.
"Squeak~"
The door was pushed open. Shen Chongyun was still wearing a free and easy white dress. After seeing Han Lie sitting there, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He closed the door and set up a soundproof barrier. boundary.
"Should I treat you like a subordinate?" Shen Chongyun asked with twinkling eyes after walking not far away from Han Lie.
Han Lie shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't want to do it, but I force you to do it. Will it arouse your resentment?"
Shen Chongyun's eyes flashed, and after giving Han Lie a slight salute, he clasped his fists and said, "I am late, I hope you will forgive me, young master."
Seeing that he was wrong, Han Lie couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at the two cups of tea in front of him and said to him: "If I want to give you a blow, why should I make tea for you here? You can just Just treat me as someone who has to help, and just skip some false courtesy."
"Um."
Shen Chongyun really felt that what he just did made him feel uncomfortable all over his body. After hearing this and nodding, he sat down opposite Han Lie quite freely, reached for a cup, and drank the spiritual tea in it. And finished.
"What do you want from me?"
After drinking the spirit tea, Shen Chongyun said seriously.
He knew that for a being like Han Lie, even if it was a trivial matter, it would be something that he could do with all his strength, so he did not dare to be careless at all and hurriedly came here to meet him. Will make peace.
At first, I thought that this weak "young master" encountered some strong enemy and summoned himself to deal with it, but now it seems that this is not the case.
So in his opinion, nothing is simpler than killing people. Since it is not killing people, then it should be more troublesome...
Han Lie took a sip of the spiritual tea, and then said to Shen Chongyun with a faint smile: "Last time I heard you say that you are from the ancient city of death?"
Shen Chongyun's hand holding the cup paused slightly, took a deep look at Han Lie, nodded and said nothing.
Han Lie looked at the expression on Shen Chongyun's face and continued: "There are some things that I need to enter the Ancient City of Death to confirm. I hope you can assist me."
"Why……"
Shen Chongyun had a complicated look on his face, and after sighing, he said: "If possible, I really don't want to hear these words again, and I don't want to go back to that place again."
When Han Lie heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately asked: "Do you know about the recent anomalies in the Ancient City of Death?"
"abnormal?"
Shen Chongyun sneered, crushed the cup in his hand, and said: "An abnormality occurred in the ancient city of death two years ago, but the outside world and even the people in the city didn't know it yet."
"Two years ago?"
After hearing this, Han Lie's pupils shrank suddenly. It was at that time that the Skytop was destroyed by the Soul Ruins. It was hard to believe that all of this was a coincidence.
"What kind of abnormalities happened in the ancient city of death?"
After a long time, Han Lie suppressed the emotion in his heart, silently took a sip of spiritual tea, and then asked.
Shen Chongyun didn't mean to hide anything. Hearing this, there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I am one of the last people to pass the review of the City Lord's Mansion according to tradition. Carrying the name of the ancient city of death, I can once again live in this east." He lives freely on the continent, and often accepts tasks from the City Lord's Mansion to obtain some training resources, and he also has a certain status in the City Lord's Mansion."
"But just after a few of us, the rules of the City Lord's Mansion changed. No one can pass the trial anymore. The new strong men who have walked out of the ancient city of death in the past two years are just puppets."
"puppet?"
Han Lie's heart moved as he heard this, and he vaguely guessed something.
Shen Chongyun nodded solemnly and continued: "From then on, all those who join the City Lord's Mansion, as long as their realm reaches the realm of life and death, do not need to accept those assessments and directly bear the name of the City Lord's Mansion, but the price is Avoid betrayal and be branded as master and servant."
"Those people are extremely vicious and even desperadoes. In order to get the protection of the City Lord's Mansion and no longer have to fear their enemies, most of them will agree, because compared to the ancient city of death, any place in Dongzhou can be regarded as a paradise. Many If people were not afraid of being chased to death by their enemies, they would wish to leave there as soon as possible."
"It is precisely because of this that the people who have walked out of the Ancient City of Death in the past two years are not very strong."
When Han Lie heard this, he secretly thought that this ancient city of death was indeed very strange, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with the Soul Ruins, and if he wanted to confirm the news, he really had to go and take a look in person.
Shen Chongyun saw that Han Lie was lost in thought, so he continued: "They seem to be preparing for something. Although the strength of those miscellaneous fish cannot be compared with those of us who have gone through the layers of review, they are still the same when they are united. It is an extremely powerful force, and the ancient city of death has suddenly become only accessible but not accessible, so I’m afraid they are almost ready.”
Han Lie asked with solemn eyes at this time: "Have you met the city lord?"
Shen Chongyun's face suddenly sank when he heard this, his eyes flashed with solemn light, and he said slowly: "Although I have a certain status in the City Lord's Mansion, I have never seen the rumored City Lord, but that The legendary city lord exudes a powerful and heart-stopping aura every other month to frighten some dishonest people in the ancient city of death."
At this moment, Shen Chongyun looked at Han Lie deeply and said, "However, not long after I mastered the Dao of the Universe, I found that the aura of the city lord had changed. I can I am sure that it is definitely the same person, but there is gradually a sense of evil and coldness in the aura. Since then, the City Lord's Mansion has only gone through the formality of the review, but in fact it has begun to impose the mark of master and servant on those people." 【】
