The immortal Taoist gave Qin Shi accurate news, which made Qin Shi finally let go of the huge stone hanging in his heart, and began to sincerely look forward to tomorrow night.
But he would not be idle for the rest of the day. His previous fight with Zhao Goujian in the market caused his arm to break again. Although he had reconnected the bones halfway, the hidden disease was still there. Now that I have some free time, I must take care of myself, otherwise it will inevitably leave some sequelae.
…
The next day, night.
The city that never sleeps is on unprecedented alert. Soldiers are constantly parading in the streets and markets, and most of these soldiers are from the Zhao family.
After yesterday's incident, the atmosphere in the Zhao family was very grim.
This matter has also spread throughout the city. Qin Shi is now wanted in the streets and alleys, and the value has reached one million spiritual stones.
In order to show respect for the Zhao family, even some foreign families sent disciples to arrest and hunt Qin Shi.
In the head of the Zhao family's house, Zhao Goujian was sitting on a square chair with a pale face. At this time, a disciple hurried in and saw him. Zhao Goujian stood up and asked: "How is it? Is there any news about that boy?" Yet?"
"Come back, sir, we have searched every corner of the city, but... let alone the thief who slashed the eldest young master, there is no news about the three Tong brothers and sisters. I wonder, I wonder if they have left the city. Already?" The disciple said timidly.
Hearing this, Zhao Goujian's expression became as embarrassment as expected, and he shouted angrily: "Impossible! I have already sent people to block all the four major exits of the Evernight City. Now let alone a few living people, not even a fly. , then they can’t fly out of the Nightless City, so can they disappear out of thin air?”
"This, I don't know about this either." The disciple responded helplessly, but suddenly he thought of something and said: "By the way, sir, there are two places. Our people did not conduct searches, but those two places , our Zhao family cannot enter easily."
"Oh? Is there any place in the Evernight City that even my Zhao family dare not enter easily?"
"Yes, it is the Yangtan Bamboo Forest and the City Lord's Mansion. However, this matter has spread in the Evernight City, and the City Lord's Mansion has also received the news. Although our people were not able to go in and search, the people in the City Lord's Mansion have given positive news. That boy is not in the City Lord’s Mansion, so only the Yangtan Bamboo Forest is left.”
"Yangtan Bamboo Forest?"
As soon as these four words came out, Zhao Goujian, who was originally arrogant, suddenly calmed down and did not express his anger at this disciple for a while, so it was obvious that he was also very afraid of the Yangtan Bamboo Forest.
But when he thought that Qin Shi had caused the Zhao family to lose face, he became furious, and finally ordered: "Hmph, search for me. Even if you offend that old guy, I have to dig him out, and then The body was broken into thousands of pieces and hung outside the city gate to warn outsiders about the consequences of offending my Zhao family!"
"yes!"
After receiving the instruction, the disciple quickly agreed and prepared to exit the hall. However, when he just stood up, another figure quickly ran in from outside the door, met him face to face, and said: "Sir, sir, there is news. There is news about the thief!"
"Huh?" Zhao Goujian suddenly became energetic. It was already evening. The moonlight passed through the hazy clouds and through the window, and fell mottled colors from the hall. However, this color seemed a bit forbidding at this time. It's so cold that it makes people shudder: "Okay, okay, I'll just say, that kid can't escape from the palm of my hand. Tell me, where is he?"
"Sir, our people discovered him from outside the Yuantan Bamboo Forest. He appeared from the Yuantan Bamboo Forest, but... just...!"
"Just what?"
"After seeing him, our people went to catch him, but unexpectedly, the immortal Taoist also followed him and helped the thief. Now, our disciples have suffered heavy losses."
"What?" Zhao Goujian stood up fiercely and said angrily: "Okay, this old guy has been hiding in the world for three years and has really not been holding back anything good. Now he has made it clear that he wants to go against my Zhao family, right? Then I will let him know that even he cannot be offended by the Zhao family now!"
Immediately, Zhao Goujian asked: "Tell me, where are they now?"
"Back to your lord, they are heading in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion."
"City Lord's Mansion?" Zhao Goujian was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled slyly: "Haha, God is really helping me. Nowadays, most of the City Lord's Mansion are close associates of our Zhao family. If he goes there, doesn't it mean that he is doing something to himself? Are you seeking death? Okay, okay, send the order, and drive to the city lord's mansion, I'll go meet that old ghost now!"
"yes!"
The disciple stood up and sent a message: "Get up and drive to the City Lord's Mansion!"
…
On the other side, Qin Shi and Xiaomi Cai followed the immortal Taoist man towards the city lord's mansion, just to avoid trouble, while the three Tong brothers stayed in the Yuantan Bamboo Forest.
Along the way, Qin Shi was indeed blocked by many Zhao family disciples at first, but before he could take action, they were all chased away by the grumpy immortal old man. Later, no one dared to provoke them rashly.
For this reason, the next journey for the three of them was much smoother, and they quickly arrived at the city lord's palace in the Evernight City.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city. It is an extremely grand palace with gorgeous flowers on the outside. The fragrant air can be smelled through the city wall, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Qin Shi secretly praised: "It's really a treasure place."
As soon as the three of them approached the palace, four soldiers with long spears set up their spears and blocked the three of them. The leader said coldly: "Who is coming! This is the important place of the city lord's palace. No unauthorized entry is allowed!"
"Hmph, don't you even recognize me?" The immortal old man shouted angrily, and then waved four palms in succession, and the strong soul aura drove the four people away.
"If you dare to cause trouble in the City Lord's Mansion, come here and capture the three of them!" The guard's expression changed, and dozens of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the surrounding area.
Seeing this scene from behind, Qin Shi's head suddenly raised a black line, and he cursed secretly: "Drink, how can this old guy cause more trouble than me?"
"Be bold!"
But at this moment, a middle-aged man who was extremely well-dressed suddenly came out of the palace to greet him. Even from a distance, Qin Shi could see a bit of concern on his face, as well as the joy of seeing him after a long separation.
And all of this is so sincere and can never be faked.
And that bold sound also made countless guards and soldiers look back. But when they saw the middle-aged man, they were all shocked. They bowed their heads to the ground and said respectfully: "Welcome the City Lord!"
"City Lord?" Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "So this is the Lord of the City that never sleeps: Li Tan? He seems to be more approachable than expected."
Li Tan strode forward to meet him, stood in front of the immortal master and said tremblingly: "Teacher immortal, you have recovered? You have finally recovered? It's great."
It can be seen that the old Taoist immortal and Li Tan have a close friendship. After hugging Li Tan, he was very excited and said: "Well, thanks to this little brother's help."
After saying that, the immortal old man pulled Qin Shi to his side: "Li Tan, let me introduce to you. This little brother is called Qin Shi. He is an amazing little guy. He saved me before."
Li Tan looked at Qin Shi thoughtfully, and then showed a hint of surprise: "To have the four-day realm at such a young age, such a talent is really good."
"Jiejie, that's not all. In addition to being in the Four Heavens Realm, he is also a seven-spell magician. His attainments in the power of the soul make even me, an old man, envious."
"What?"
The old Taoist Immortal's words made Li Tan's face change drastically, and he was no longer calm. Although Qin Shi's four-day realm could be praised by him, it was only an exaggeration for him as an emperor and general. It can only be regarded as a good talent, but what the Immortal Taoist said later completely shocked him, "Seven Spells Magician, what is this concept?"
That's enough to make one force grab it like crazy.
But this kind of strength appeared in a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties. As a city lord, he couldn't keep calm and said to Qin Shi: "Little brother, you are really talented."
"Haha, the city lord is ridiculous. This junior is just a little luckier than ordinary people." Qin Shi smiled modestly.
Regarding this, Li Tan and Immortal Old Taoist only regarded it as modesty and luck. Although these are indispensable factors for strong strength, it is absolutely impossible to become a seven-spell magician with only luck. Among them, countless nights of sad dedication and hard work are indispensable.
For this reason, Li Tan had a higher opinion of Qin Shi.
However, to be able to sit on the city lord's seat, Li Tan's scheming and city government were naturally extraordinary. He quickly adjusted himself and said to the three of them: "Okay, don't stand outside. Let's go in and talk if you have anything to say. I have already ordered my servants to prepare a feast for the immortal teacher in the main hall. Let’s have a good gathering tonight.”
"good."
The immortal old man agreed excitedly, but soon realized something was wrong. He turned around and asked Qin Shi, "Little brother, what do you think?"
Naturally, Qin Shi would not refuse this matter. Even if Li Tan didn't say anything, he would still find a way to enter the palace and obtain the heart of the deserted earth from Li Tan. So he smiled and nodded: "City Lord Li has With such elegance and elegance, it is natural that this junior will be so kind to you."
"Haha, it's hard to refuse such a warm welcome, so let's not get drunk tonight!" Li Tan laughed loudly, and immediately led the three of them into the main hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, as Li Tan said, he really prepared a feast, with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. After that, Qin Shi and the four of them sat down from the round table in the center.
"This is my first cup, Teacher Immortal. Thank you for treating Minghao three years ago. At that time, you almost lost your life. I still feel guilty." After Li Tan finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp. He raised another glass, this time for Qin Shi, and said: "This second glass, I salute Brother Qin Shi. Brother Qin Shi is truly a heroic boy. Thank you for curing the immortal teacher, and thank you for fate. Encounter.”
