North Union City.
A big city near Xingluo Mountain in Daming Prefecture. A few hundred miles beyond Xingluo Mountain is Nanyuan City in Daxia Prefecture.
Teahouses and restaurants are always gathering places for gossip to spread.
There is no shortage of storytellers in Daming Prefecture. Even if there is television, there is no shortage of storytellers in Daming Prefecture. What's the point of television? It plays the same things over and over again every day. It's boring at all. How can it be as pleasant as what a storyteller tells.
Storytellers also have an important social responsibility in the Daming Prefecture, which is to spread gossip.
At this moment, in a teahouse in Beilian City.
Su Yu sat in the private room, crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, drank tea, and listened to the storyteller talk nonsense.
On the stage in front, the storyteller spitted and shouted, "Just yesterday, late last night, a Shanhai Realm elder in the Great Yuan Prefecture was assassinated! It's lawless! This is going to be chaos!"
"In the past few months, I will count how many strong men have died! First, a Shanhai leader in Tianshenghai was assassinated, then a Shanhai leader in Datang Prefecture was assassinated, then a Shanhai leader in Daqi Prefecture was assassinated, and last night, a Shanhai leader in Dashang Prefecture was assassinated..."
The storyteller was extremely excited and indignant. "In the past few months, four Shanhai people have been assassinated one after another. They are all well-known and influential people! Judging from the results, it was all done by a group of people. They are lawless!"
Someone was surprised and asked, "Da Shang Mansion is not far from us. Someone in Da Shang Mansion was assassinated? Didn't they say it was done by the Six Wings Cult? But their Shanhai were all killed, and the two Sun and Moon also ran away. Do you still have the guts to continue?"
The storyteller sighed, "Who knows? Now the demons are running rampant, a sign of chaos in the world! All the major prefectures have stepped up their patrols! My Daming Prefecture is doing relatively well. Last time, the five Sun and Moon attacked, and they were all killed, which was considered a shock to the demons."
"Ah, it's really a troubled time. This devil actually dared to sneak into the major prefectures to assassinate Shanhai. It's too scary."
Someone asked curiously, "Why do you want to kill these people? Are there any special features about these people? Otherwise, there are so many mountains and seas in the world, why do you have to kill them?"
The storyteller smiled and said, "You've asked the right person about this! It is said that these strong men have led troops in the battlefields of the heavens in the past. They are all outstanding and have killed countless people. Their subordinates are brave and good at fighting! I suspect that the myriad races may want to start a war, so they want to assassinate those fierce generals of our human race first!"
While laughing, his expression changed again, and he said with a sad face: "It's troublesome! During this period, some of the brave generals who retreated back have to be careful. Although my Daming Prefecture is not good at fighting, there are still a few brave generals who retreated from the front line. If something goes wrong... Oh!"
…
In the private room.
Su Yu was thoughtful. The four Shanhai from different prefectures were all from the Shanhai realm and were all powerful generals in the past.
Could it be that all races are really preparing for war
In his opinion, the storyteller's analysis was not unreasonable.
However, this guy is really brave. He killed several Shanhai people in succession and still dared to continue attacking. Was it Riyue who lurked in the dark and did it
Just as he was thinking, someone in the hall said disapprovingly: "You said that other people are fierce generals, then I admit it. I know a little bit about Shanhai who was killed in Dashang Mansion. In the past, he led his army and stationed not far from our Tiandao Army. He is not a fierce general, right? But he did kill some people from the Ten Thousand Races. That guy is not a good person. I heard that before the war, he liked to arrange a small team of civilized divisions on the front battlefield. Every time, he would wait until this small team of civilized divisions was killed before he would lead the army to attack and kill those exhausted enemies."
"There's such a thing? How come we haven't heard of it? Don't talk nonsense. I heard that he has a pretty good reputation."
"Don't believe me, forget it. Anyway, I heard it from someone who was also from the Great Shang Mansion. Sometimes when we returned to the base camp, we met and chatted for a while."
"… "
The storyteller also said at this moment: "Is there such a thing? I really haven't heard about it. He is quite famous. Even if it is as you said, it may be a strategic layout. You can't say that he is not a fierce general just because of this. Old Huang, don't talk nonsense. Death is the greatest thing. Don't let people think you are a member of the Ten Thousand Races Cult and spread rumors to confuse the public!"
The person who spoke nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't this in Daming Prefecture? I wouldn't dare to say this in Dashang Prefecture."
Just some gossip.
As for the evidence, he only heard it from others and had no idea whether it was true or not.
…
In the private room.
Su Yu looked at the man who was speaking, and a strange thought arose in his mind. Sending a small team of civilized divisions, the civilized divisions and the enemy fighting first, and then the man led the army to kill, this sounded a bit like a bait operation to lure the snake out of its hole.
Civilization Master... All Races...
Bait... The Polyshenwen system of civilization masters is a good bait. Qin Zhen of the Great Qin Mansion told Su Yu that he had used the Polyshenwen system to catch fish, and he had killed big fish, including Sun and Moon.
Feeling, inexplicably, Su Yu felt that if the Shanhai who was killed had really sent out a civilization master in the past, it might be from the Multi-God Text Department.
But it's just a feeling.
Besides, the person is dead. Su Yu thought about it and didn’t think about it anymore.
In recent years, many Polytheistic Civilization Masters have been killed. This is also related to the small number of Polytheistic Civilization Masters. If too many are killed and the number is small, they will naturally die out.
In addition, many of the guys in the Divine Literature Department like to go to the battlefield. After all, they are considered the combat department among the civilized divisions, so a higher death rate is actually normal.
…
Just when Su Yu was thinking about this.
Daxia Prefecture.
Education and Strengthening Department.
Ji Hong looked at the information, which was exactly the information of the four generals who were killed.
After a long while, Ji Hong sighed and murmured, "Chen Yong... you are going crazy!"
Others didn't notice it or pay attention to some details, but he discovered it.
These four people are more or less related to the Polyshenwen school.
Some of them are not very obvious, but if you compare them with other information he has obtained, you can see that over the years, some polytheistic civilization masters have disappeared or died in the places where these people have been.
"Over at Tianshenghai, several Polytheistic Civilization Masters have died in recent years. They are not Polytheistic Civilization Masters... but several guys who were expelled by Chen Yong, all died there."
It's not a one-time thing. It's normal for one person to die every three to five years.
After all, Tiansheng Sea is where the sea monsters live. What's the big deal if a not-so-strong civilization master dies in several years
But if you take out the information of these people and combine them, you will find that these people all have some relationship with Chen Yong.
And Chen Yong... When that man was killed that day, Chen Yong was nearby!
Including the later killings of Shanhai in Datang Prefecture and Daqi Prefecture, Chen Yong should have been nearby. However, it is impossible to judge as to the Dashang Prefecture now. The main reason is that the two Sun and Moon of the Six-Winged Divine Sect ran away. Now no one is chasing Chen Yong, so his whereabouts cannot be found.
"Killed four Shanhai generals in succession..."
Ji Hong's eyes were complicated, a death penalty!
Death is certain!
Does Chen Yong have any evidence
Even if there is, it is definitely not ironclad evidence. Otherwise, if there is really ironclad evidence, those people killed many civilization masters of the Divine Literature Department. Even if someone protected them, Chen Yong would report it to the Daxia Palace. With the evidence, the Daxia Palace would not be afraid of anything.
He didn't do so, apparently because there wasn't enough evidence to prove anything.
I chose assassination myself!
If this is discovered, the person will be killed. Assassinating a human general is something that even the Ten Thousand Races Sect rarely dares to do.
Ji Hong sighed in his heart and picked up the information of the four Shanhais again to check.
There must be some potential connection between these four people.
Is the invincible person behind the scenes directing it
Or did he secretly join the Ten Thousand Races Sect
More than half a year ago, he had been looking up some information, including the names of some Polytheistic Civilization Divisions who died on the battlefield, the places of death, the time of death, and the army they served in when they died...
And in some places in the human realm, how did the fallen polytheistic civilization masters die, and at whose hands did they die.
He is sorting out the clues one by one.
Ji Hong closed his eyes. All the clues were gradually pointing in one direction.
"He didn't do it for personal revenge... For personal revenge, there is no need to kill so many polytheistic civilization masters..."
At this moment, all the clues are pointing in one direction, but it is still unclear who it is.
But... Actually, it is somewhat clear.
These people actually had little to do with each other in the past, but they had one thing in common: most of them had fought together on the battlefields of the heavens at one time or another, and this was their biggest point of intersection.
So, at that time, the Invincible who was in charge of the battlefield of the heavens had the greatest hope of connecting with them.
Probably concentrated in the period between 70 and 50 years ago, these people served on the battlefields of the heavens at the same time.
20 years!
In the past 20 years, these people may have been won over by someone.
Who recruited them
Who were the invincible ones who commanded the battlefields of the heavens
There are many invincibles in the human race, and their whereabouts are kept secret. Except for the Great Qin King who is always in charge, the other invincibles go to patrol from time to time. Normally, when an invincible goes to the battlefield of the heavens, it will take at least 10 years for him to be replaced.
In the Eastern Theater, there are always more than 10 invincible warriors guarding the battlefield.
What were the invincible ones during this period 70-50 years ago
It’s a bit difficult to find out this clearly.
However, it is not impossible to find out clearly. If the speculation is true, then the traitor Wudi is among these people. Otherwise, even if he is Wudi, he will not be able to run around and win over those generals.
Do you really think that the invincible people in other prefectures are dead
Only on the battlefield, patrolling an area, will you have enough opportunity and time to select and win over people!
If we try to win someone over, we will never do so without conducting investigations.
It must be that this Wudi discovered or saw something during the inspection and thought that this person could be won over, so he came forward to win over the other party.
As for those who are being won over, it may be that Wudi personally appears, otherwise it would be difficult to impress them.
"horrible!"
Ji Hong was thinking in his heart that at this moment, he already had some clues. As long as he could find out who was in charge of the battlefield of the heavens back then, the traitor would be one of them!
Although it is still unclear, the target has been narrowed down a lot.
He was not sure how many invincible people there were in the Quest Realm and the War God Temple, but there were at least more than 30 of them. At once, he could eliminate two-thirds of the people.
"Chen Yong..."
He thought of Chen Yong again. Chen Yong was in danger!
This guy is crazy.
These people who were killed might have been those who were lured in the past. Since Chen Yong killed them, he was also telling the people behind the scenes that I have caught some evidence against you!
"This is putting yourself in danger. Once it is proven that you killed him, even if Wudi doesn't show up, if we find evidence, we can have someone kill you openly!"
Ji Hong sighed, Chen Yong!
After a moment of silence, Ji Hong closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Be careful yourself...
These days, he has collected a lot of information, some of which are military secrets, which may have attracted some attention.
"Chen Yong... since you are the one taking the lead, I will keep a low profile."
Ji Hong's mouth corners slightly raised, and he could only pray that you be more careful.
…
Daming Prefecture.
Su Yu finished his tea, listened to some gossip, then got up and left the teahouse.
Outside, the sun is shining.
Su Yu rode the Benyun horse, moving forward slowly and leisurely. Being in a hurry was not Cui Lang's style. Cui Lang, that was to appreciate the beautiful scenery and the beautiful women slowly and leisurely.
Riding out of the city gate, outside the city, a caravan of merchants was also moving forward. Seeing Su Yu riding leisurely on his horse, in the same direction as them, someone in this caravan composed of earth dragon beasts soon laughed and said, "Brother, this is the direction to Xingluo Mountain and Daxia Mansion. Are you going to Daxia Mansion?"
Su Yu looked sideways and said lazily, "Yeah, are you going there too?"
"right!"
The burly man smiled and said, "Little brother, you are alone. Although many strong men were wiped out in Xingluo Mountain last time, it is still somewhat dangerous. How about you come with us?"
Su Yu yawned and said lazily, "No need, brother, if you want to take advantage of me, just say so. I, Cui Lang, am easy to talk to. You can't hire a bodyguard without spending money."
The man burst into laughter.
That's true.
Nowadays, anyone who dares to walk alone in the wilderness must have some real skills.
He saw Su Yu wearing a white robe, which looked a bit like the attire of a civilization master. He was walking out of the city in broad daylight. The gatekeeper was also very polite to him. He guessed that he must be a strong man, so he thought of calling him to join him.
Otherwise, if he really met them in the wild, he would not dare to call on people to join the caravan.
"Brother, you are a quick-witted person. You do have this in mind..."
The man laughed for a while, a little confused, thought for a while and said: "Cui Lang... Brother is... the prodigal swordsman Cui Lang?"
After these words were spoken, some people in the caravan seemed to remember them.
Soon, several female guards in the caravan snorted inaudibly.
Cui Lang is somewhat famous in the Daming Prefecture area.
Of course, he is also famous in the Tang Dynasty.
Not a good thing!
Of course, men can understand it, but women...are all a little unhappy.
Scumbag!
Su Yu laughed and said, "Brother, you know me? I haven't been out for a few years, but I was recognized. It's true that geniuses are famous wherever they go. Just because you know me, I'll escort you... But I'm not in a hurry, walk slowly. If you're in a hurry, you can walk by yourself."
“No hurry, no hurry!”
The burly man was also very happy. Cui Lang had already made it to the top a few years ago!
Maybe it has reached Lingyun by now!
To him, he was considered a big shot. This guy had also reached the early stage of levitation, but he had only opened 36 orifices. Compared with a genius in an academy like Cui Lang, there was a huge gap.
It is already remarkable for a caravan to have a Tengkong leading the team.
Su Yu rode closer and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't been out for a few years. Are there any outstanding beauties in the martial arts world recently? How about introducing them to me?"
"… "
Several women around them hummed again. Su Yu curled his lips and said unceremoniously, "Ladies, stop humming. I don't like you. I, Cui Lang, have very high standards!"
"… "
Embarrassed, the man was also extremely embarrassed, and scolded: "What are you doing? You have no manners! Lord Cui has a good character, but it doesn't give you the confidence to be unruly. Lord Cui, don't bother with these people. They come from small places and have no knowledge..."
Cui Lang was either flying to the eighth or ninth level of the sky or soaring to the sky. He was indeed a big shot.
But it is said that he has a good temper, he just likes to flirt with other girls. If he really has a bad temper, no one would dare to complain.
Su Yu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it! When a woman sees me, she either smiles or has a sour face. I'm used to it! Those with sour faces are usually not good-looking, which means I don't look at them straight in the eye..."
The man was embarrassed. It was rumored that Cui Lang had a sharp tongue. Sure enough, the rumor was true.
Without continuing the topic, the man smiled and said, "Master Cui..."
"No, just call me Brother Lang!"
The burly man laughed dryly again, but didn't say much. He quickly said, "Speaking of beauties, there are indeed some, but Brother Lang probably won't be interested. They are all from big families and are likely to cause trouble."
Su Yu's expression changed and he nodded: "It seems that someone really remembers my story! Alas, one misstep can lead to eternal regret!"
Someone in the team laughed and said, "Sir, your deeds have been told by storytellers 99 times, if not 100 times, in the past few years! It's just that they haven't told it as much in the past two years. Now that you've come out, your deeds will soon be spread again!"
The person who was speaking was only in the Wanshi realm, and he spoke respectfully, but he couldn't help but smile.
There's no way I could help it. I felt a little excited when I saw the big shot who was being hunted by Sun and Moon Jiuchong according to the legend.
I really want to ask, is Riyue Jiuchong’s granddaughter too ugly
Otherwise, why are you running!
Su Yu said disdainfully: "A bunch of boring guys, it was those guys who spread rumors everywhere that caused me to be stuck in Daming Mansion. Half of these storytellers in Daming Mansion should be chopped off!"
The leading man also laughed and said, "Brother Lang is right, but if they really cut it, Daming Prefecture will lose half of its fun! Brother Lang went to Daxia Prefecture this time... Is it to see the beauties of the gods, demons and myriad races?"
Su Yu's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you are well-informed! Have the students from the Ten Thousand Races arrived? It's late May now, they should be here soon, right?"
“That’s really unclear.”
The burly man shook his head and said, "It's been two months since we last went to Daxia Prefecture. During these two months, Daxia Prefecture was a bit chaotic, so we didn't go there. Now we heard that Daxia Prefecture has become much quieter, so we shipped some goods there."
"What are you transporting?"
Su Yu looked at those earth dragon beasts, all of which were carrying a lot of things.
There are cars in the human realm, but they are not suitable for use in the wild.
There are riding beasts in Daming Prefecture, but the space is small and the cost is not low, so it is not suitable for carrying goods. The earth dragon beast is more suitable and has a higher cost-effectiveness.
"Some little gadgets."
The burly man smiled and said, "We have everything, and there are also some random works of civilized masters. Daming Prefecture doesn't lack them. We can transport them to Daxia Prefecture, where they need them. We can earn some money for cultivation by transporting them."
Su Yu laughed and said, "The Text of Will? You dare to sell this?"
"Da Ming Prefecture does not restrict these. Da Xia Prefecture restricts outflows but not imports."
The burly man laughed and said, "They are not worth much. They are all casually made. There are not many copies. If you are lucky, you can earn a few hundred merits after one trip. There are so many of us to share. There are not many tasks that independent cultivators can take. It is too dangerous for those who are not military personnel on the battlefield of the heavens."
Su Yu nodded, "It's really pitiful. Each trip only earns a few hundred merit points, and you have dozens of people. It's not like me. I can easily make a few weapons and earn a few thousand merit points..."
"… "
It hurts!
The burly man was speechless, but he knew Cui Lang was a weapon forger, so he smiled and said, "Brother Lang, do you have any handy work that you don't need? How about..."
"Don't even think about it. I cast a Wenbing, and that's for a beauty, right?"
"Hahaha, Brother Lang is indeed a man of temperament!"
"… "
The burly man was also speechless and forced a smile for a while, saying, "Damn it, you are still so wild."
Believe it or not, the guy from the Tang Palace is coming to kill you!
Su Yu was not walking fast, and the caravan also slowed down. With a top-level expert following them, it was much safer. It didn't matter if they delayed for a few days. Safety came first.
On the way, the burly man said, "Xingluo Mountain has been much more peaceful recently. In previous years, we had to take a detour and didn't dare to go through Xingluo Mountain. There were many bandits and members of the Ten Thousand Races Sect here in the past. We have to thank Su Yu for this. Otherwise, we would have to take a detour of hundreds of miles every time we transported goods."
After that, the man continued, "But after a while, bandits started to gather here again, but they are not as strong as before. Most of them are just some powerful people who extort money and property, but there is no murder or robbery."
Su Yu was puzzled and asked: "Then what are you afraid of? You are already in the air!"
The man sighed, "It's not necessary. These people are very difficult to deal with. Unless you kill them all at once, otherwise, they will cling to you like flies. There is no need to keep entangled with people when doing business. But we have reported to the Daming Prefecture and wait for the Daming Prefecture to send people to encircle and suppress them. Now the Daming Prefecture has tens of thousands of powerful legions, all of which are in the air. Wow, it's really amazing. Just a team of a hundred people can probably wipe them out."
Su Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I wonder if there are any beauties among the bandits..."
He never stops talking about women!
The burly man was speechless. Of course, he gradually got used to it and said with a smile: "Brother Lang, there may not be any beauties, but when we get to Daxia Mansion, there will be no shortage of them. I will treat you later..."
"Tsk, forget it, the place you're going to is too low-end!"
"Hahaha, Brother Lang is right. We are too poor. There is nothing we can do."
"… "
The two chatted as they walked, and Su Yu also inquired about the recent situation in the Great Xia Mansion. There was nothing big going on, just Xia Xiaoer being scolded, and the Great Xia Civilization Academy was going to expand the enrollment of students from all races.
In the end, what the man said did attract some attention from Su Yu.
"Brother Lang, you should be careful when you go to Daxia Prefecture this time. I know Brother Lang is used to it and doesn't want to provoke the children of big families. However, there are really many children of big families in the capital of Daxia Prefecture now! It is said that children from the two major holy places have come to study in Daxia Prefecture."
The man reminded, "Among them, there are descendants of invincible kings! There are even more descendants of the sun and the moon! With the arrival of people from all races, Daxia Prefecture is now in chaos. It's still relatively peaceful because Dazhou Prefecture has not been peaceful recently. Anyway, after this shipment, I may not come to Daxia Prefecture to do business in the future."
Su Yu nodded, a child of a big family.
How many are there
A lot of descendants of the Invincible have come
They all came here for Hong Tan’s splitting method.
Walking and chatting.
The group entered the Starfall Mountain area.
Half a day later, Su Yu killed a guy who had just entered the sky with a sword. He snorted and said loudly under the admiring eyes of the rough man: "I, Cui Lang, entered the Xingluo Mountain. Not only did I not accept the beauty as a treat, but I also dared to rob people on the road! I am in the sky after all, but I actually did such a dirty thing. Isn't it disgusting!"
silent.
Everyone in the caravan had a look of admiration on their faces. Whether it was real or not, admiration was definitely there.
Awesome!
With just one sword, he killed a Tengkong. Tengkong was the only rough guy in their caravan. So, Cui Lang could also kill the team leader with one sword. No wonder the captain was so polite to Cui Lang.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Cui Lang, who has not left Tiandu Prefecture for several years, seems to have become even more powerful. He is indeed the genius who was hotly discussed in the two prefectures in the past.
…
Su Yu didn't pay much attention to this, but was thinking, where did this flying come from
These people are from the Wanzu Sect, right
Not necessarily!
Maybe he was sent by someone else. As for why... maybe he was still looking for the ruins he mentioned.
Of course, Su Yu said that the ruins were fake, but not everyone would believe it.
This place is not far from Nanyuan, and it feels like there may indeed be ruins there. These guys may not necessarily be members of the Ten Thousand Races Sect. They may be sent by some people to look for ruins.
Of course, with such weak strength, the possibility of being a sentinel is greater.
Anyway, even if there are strong people, they probably won’t dare to take action.
Look for relics and keep a low profile.
Cui Lang was also a celebrity in Daming Prefecture. If he died here, Daming Prefecture would certainly send people to investigate, and if it attracted strong men, that would be troublesome.
…
As expected.
Not long after Su Yu and his group left, someone came to the man who had just been killed, took a look at the body, and whispered: "Cui Lang... Niu Baidao's registered disciple. If it weren't for that person, Niu Baidao would have accepted him long ago. This guy ran away!"
Soon, another person appeared beside him and said with a smile, "That guy is in seclusion, so it's normal for him to come out and hang out at this time. Forget it, don't cause trouble! This guy is not easy to mess with, and there is no need to seek revenge for a dead person. This guy can stop anyone else, but he has to stop Cui Lang. That guy must have been depressed for the past few years."
"That's true."
The two talked for a while, and soon one of them said, "It is very likely that there is really no one in Xingluo Mountain, otherwise Su Yu would not have been exposed, and the person in Daming Mansion did not take care of this place. Do you think he is still in Nanyuan?"
"It's possible, but we can't go there. The sun and the moon are there. It's too dangerous!"
"Why!"
The person who spoke sighed, "The Invincible Ruins... If I could really get in, even if I couldn't become invincible, Sun and Moon wouldn't be difficult. What a pity."
"It's nothing to regret. I think that Daxia Prefecture will be in chaos sooner or later. The strong men stationed in Nanyuan may leave soon. After all, they have gained nothing so far..."
“Then we may not be able to find it.”
"Try your luck. This thing doesn't mean it's yours once you're strong enough. It was only opened when Su Yu inherited it."
"… "
The two chatted for a while and soon disappeared from the spot.
As for the dead, no one cares.
As for Cui Lang... there is no need to care about him, he is not a target to be killed. There is no benefit in killing him, and it will only cause trouble for yourself. If Cui Lang is really killed, even if the Ming Palace does not care, the person in the Tang Palace may intervene. It is their own business to fight and kill, and it might be his grandson-in-law.
…
At this time, Su Yu turned his head and looked behind him, smiling, seeing two people in Lingyun Realm.
I don’t know whose family he is from, or whether he is from the Ten Thousand Races Sect.
Never mind. No need to pay attention.
With Cui Lang's personality, he usually doesn't bother to care about things that have nothing to do with him, so there is no need for him to expose anything just to kill the two Ling Yuns.
Nanyuan, we’re almost there.
After leaving Xingluo Mountain, you can reach Nanyuan in one day at most.
I'm back!
Su Yu looked forward, but couldn't see anything. However, he still felt a little sad. He was back. He hoped that this small town would remain peaceful forever. It was a pity that he was born here. The invincible ruins... also touched many people's hearts.
