In the city lord's mansion.
Finding that the abyss troll had been killed, some members of the Dark Guild who had infiltrated into the City Lord's Mansion began to retreat quickly, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Another place, in the dark shadows.
A figure stood quietly. The man in black saw the whole process of the abyss troll being blasted and killed by the thunderbolt formation. Seeing Nie Li being carried away by Ye Xiu, the corner of his mouth slightly pursed, his voice hoarse and low: interesting."
Several times, he couldn't help but wanted to make a move to snatch Nie Li from Ye Xiu's grasp, but in the end he gave up and stared at another place.
"I know you've noticed me and are waiting for me to make a move, but it's not that easy to track me down. This time, you won the confrontation, but it won't be that easy next time." The man in black With a sneer, his figure slowly melted into the darkness.
Ye Zong, who was next to the Taiyi killing formation, had a sharp light shining in his eyes, and the vigilant aura that had been lingering in his heart had quietly disappeared, and he knew that the other party had already left.
From the moment the abyss troll appeared, apart from capturing two demon spiritists from the Dark Guild, Ye Zong had been on guard against this uneasy aura until the other party disappeared, and Ye Zong still couldn't find him. where.
"It seems that the other party has no intention of making a move." Ye Zong thought to himself, if the other party made a move, even Ye Zong would inevitably fall into a fierce battle.
At this moment, a black-gold rank warrior rushed over.
"Master Ye Zong, it's not good." The warrior said hastily.
"What happened?" Ye Zong suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The three black-gold rank demon spiritists we captured before are all dead." The warrior said with his hands clasped.
"As expected." Ye Zong clenched his fists. In order to prevent the three black-gold-ranked demon spiritists from escaping and letting the tiger go back to the mountain, Ye Zong completely destroyed the soul seas of the three black-gold-ranked demon spiritists, making their cultivation There is no possibility of recovery anymore. Originally, he wanted to be imprisoned in the secret prison of the City Lord's Mansion. In the future, he can carefully interrogate where the Dark Guild is hiding. But I didn't expect that the members of the Dark Guild were so vicious. The strong man cut off his wrist and directly killed the three black-gold rank demon spiritualists. "They sent people to rob the prison? What is the strength of the other party?"
It stands to reason that no one knows about the secret prison of the City Lord's Mansion. How did the other party know the location and launch the attack? All this needs to be investigated clearly!
"Reporting to Lord City Master, no one came to rob the prison, and those three black-gold rank demon spiritists died inexplicably," said the warrior.
"He died out of nowhere?" Ye Zong's heart shuddered, the members of the Dark Guild really had a good trick! If his predictions were correct, the Dark Guild had blessed the three black-gold rank demon spiritualists with soul chains, and if anyone was caught, they would directly mobilize the soul chains and strangle them to death.
With such means, the betrayal of his subordinates was basically eliminated. No wonder the Dark Guild is so mysterious that the families in Glory City have not been able to know the location of the Dark Guild.
At this time, outside the city lord's mansion.
A man in black stood quietly, and dozens of other men in black were all kneeling respectfully, none of them dared to make a sound, including those black gold-ranked ones.
"A total of eight black-gold ranks came, one was beheaded by the abyss troll, two were killed by Ye Zong, one was killed by that boy, and the people who went to the Skyline Family to capture the boy's parents also found nothing. You guys This group of trash!" The man in black snorted coldly.
"My lord, we never thought that those two weird formations would be so powerful, and there were also several black-gold-level powerhouses guarding the Skyline Family, and we had made preparations early on. We are completely I can’t find where the boy’s parents live!”
The man in black spread out his right hand, and the three black runestones in his hand had been shattered into pieces.
"Forget it this time, if you still fail to do things next time, you will be the same as the three of them!" The voice of the man in black was as cold as if it came from hell.
Seeing this scene, the people kneeling below trembled, showing a look of fear. These three black runestones are the soul stones of the three black-gold-ranked demon spiritists who were captured. Once the man in black seals and casts these three runestones, the three black-gold-ranked demon spiritists will be shattered. He will be locked up by the soul chain, and he will definitely die.
Since the moment they joined the Dark Guild, their fate has been completely controlled. Their souls are locked on that small soul stone. As long as the soul stone is crushed, they will die. It's not that they didn't resist, but all the rebels were killed, and the tragic death made them unbearable to look at. As for escaping, the Dark Guild is too powerful, even if you run to any place, they can catch you back. So they could only be enslaved, carefully doing things for the Dark Guild. Occasionally, some companions die, which makes them feel sympathetic.
But even if people continue to die, there will always be many new members of the Dark Guild climbing out of the cruel hell-like training base every year, enriching the Dark Guild and making the Dark Guild more and more powerful.
For Glory City, the Dark Guild will always be a terrible nightmare.
"Let's go, let's go back and report to the Demon Lord." The man in black turned around and walked forward.
The men in black kneeling on the ground looked at each other and followed suit.
What they didn't know was that on a big tree on the top of a distant mountain, a big bird was standing there steadily. Its whole body was made of metal, and its eyes were extremely sharp, piercing the darkness. This big bird is the spirit puppet that sealed the soul of Ye Yan's ancestor.
In the city lord's mansion.
Nie Li was lying quietly on the bed, his eyes were tightly closed, and he was still in a coma.
"Father, what's wrong with Nie Li?" Ye Ziyun asked anxiously, her eyes were full of concern, for some reason, seeing Nie Li's tightly closed eyes, Ye Ziyun felt heartbroken, and couldn't help but shed tears down.
"Brother Nie Li, wake up, woo woo woo..." Nie Yu kept crying beside him.
Ye Zong and Ye Xiu stood quietly by the side.
"Lord Ye Zong, what's wrong with him?" Ye Xiu looked at Ye Zong and asked.
Ye Zong sighed slightly and said, "If it's just that the soul force is overused, that's fine, but for some reason, his soul sea has been completely drained, so there's something wrong." Ye Zong was silent. After waiting for a while, he looked at Ye Xiudao, "Bring the leaf of the mist leaf grass, and give it to Nie Li!"
Hearing Ye Zong's words, Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ye Zong in disbelief. He was a little surprised that Ye Zong was willing to take out the leaves of the mist leaf grass for Nie Li to take!
With Ye Zong's current cultivation base, he is only one step away from the legendary realm, and the leaves of the mist leaf grass are the key to his advancement to the legendary realm! The leaves of the Misty Leaf Grass are extremely rare and cherished, they only appear in deep mountains and dense forests, and around a mature Misty Leaf Grass, there are often legendary monsters guarding them. The legendary monster snatched the leaf of the Mistleaf Grass.
Ye Zong glared at Ye Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and get it, it's important to save people!"
"Yes!" Ye Xiu hurried to the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing Ye Ziyun bursting into tears, Ye Zong sighed slightly in his heart. The reason why he was full of hostility towards Nie Li before was because of a father's desire to protect his daughter. Seeing Ye Ziyun like this, Ye Zong sighed in his heart. No father can keep his daughter by his side forever, so he can only let her go.
Although Nie Li is not in good shape, he still has a passion in his heart.
In today's battle, they were able to repel the Dark Guild, and Nie Li owed a great deal of credit to them. Ye Zong's attitude towards Nie Li also began to undergo some changes.
A while later, according to Ye Zong's instructions, Ye Ziyun ground the mist leaf grass into powder, washed it with water, and asked Nie Li to swallow it slowly.
Seeing Ye Ziyun's slow and meticulous look, Ye Zong couldn't help shaking his head, girls are extroverted, as expected, after thinking about it, it seems that he shouldn't be involved in the lives of young people anymore. Ye Zong retreated slowly.
A very, very long dream.
In his dream, Nie Li seemed to have returned to the moment when Glory City was shattered. Countless people were screaming in the flames, women and children were crying from time to time, and the entire Glory City was engulfed in a sea of flames. , Nie Li saw his clansmen were killed with his own eyes, and these children fled under the protection of several powerful clansmen.
In the dream, my father said that you are the hope of the family, as long as you are still alive, the family can continue. After finishing speaking, the father died generously.
In the dream, he and Ye Ziyun embraced each other tightly. Ye Ziyun was talking about the past, stroking his chin in his arms, and whispering softly, no matter who dies between the two of us, the other must live bravely. go down. Then, looking back at that moment turned into a farewell.
At that moment, Nie Li burst into tears.
"Ziyun..." Nie Li called desperately, trying to grab Ye Ziyun's hand, but watched Ye Ziyun slowly disappear into the endless darkness.
in the room.
After learning about Nie Li's situation, Xiao Ning'er hurried over from home, but saw that Ye Ziyun was already taking care of Nie Li. She and Ye Ziyun stood by Nie Li's side silently, and neither of them spoke. Two childhood playmates, familiar with each other, but a little strange.
Xiao Ning'er twisted the towel, put the towel on Nie Li's forehead, and quietly stared at Nie Li's cheek.
Once upon a time, this big boy never attracted her attention, and she only had one dream in her heart, which was to become stronger. However, in the place of trials, her fate quietly changed. Besides, there was another more precious thing in her heart.
