C825 Calm down
There was already a Fifth Level of Void Stage Grandmaster waiting at the door. Seeing Ye Feng and the others, he nodded his head with a stern expression and brought them into the residence.
However, this person did not walk towards the front of the hall. Instead, he led the four of them left and right, entering the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.
"He … "Where are you taking us?"
Seeing Cao Lei and Ye Feng's frowning expression, Wu Xiaoyu could no longer hold back and asked softly.
"Prison!"
Ye Feng softly spat out two words.
"How do you know?" Did he send you a sound transmission? " Wu Xiaoyu's face revealed a confused expression.
Ye Feng shook his head, was the matter not clear enough?
At this time, the City Lord Duan Qingjiang summoned them here as if they were facing a great enemy. There must have been something wrong with those Demon Gate spies that he caught, why not go to the prison?
Sure enough, they continued walking forward for a distance. When they raised their heads, they saw a jet-black building in front of them.
This building seemed to be made entirely out of Refined Iron s, with only a single narrow entrance that could only fit one person. Other than this, there were also other doors and windows.
City Lord Duan Qingjiang was currently standing in front of the building, with an ashen face and a lost expression.
Seeing Ye Feng and the others walking over, Duan Qingjiang sighed as if he had seen his savior. He walked up to them with a dejected expression.
"He's running away!"
"What is going on?" Cao Lei bellowed.
"This mayor doesn't know either. He was fine last night, but someone just reported that Zhang Taining, Su Mo Yan and the other two spies are all gone …"
Ye Feng and the other three entered the building.
Once he stepped in, Ye Feng felt his body becoming weak, all of the spirit force in his body had been sucked out, it was extremely light and light, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
He took a quick glance and saw only two corpses inside. They had both died with a single sword strike through their hearts. Apart from that, there were no other signs of a fight. According to Duan Qingjiang's explanation, these were the two Fourth Level of Void Stage Martial Cultivator s that he had sent to guard the prison.
The black structure inside the Pingliang City was crafted by a master refiner of the Northern Han Power. Under the effect of special inscriptions, all the elemental energy in the Martial Cultivator's body would become ineffective, so the prisoner need not worry.
And there were City Lord's Mansion Protectors stationed outside the prison. The moment the wind blows, it would immediately alarm them.
But last night, when Su Zhang's group of four had mysteriously escaped, the guards had not heard anything.
It was obvious that it was not the four of them who had killed the guards and escaped from the black building. Furthermore, Ye Feng could even surmise that this traitor belonged to someone within the City Lord's Mansion and possessed a certain level of prestige. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to do it so lightly.
Duan Qingjiang had specially sent two people to guard the prison. Without question, the cultivation of the two guards who were killed should not be weak.
Since they had been cleanly stabbed through the heart like this, then there was only one possibility left. Killing people without the slightest hint of wariness.
Within the City Lord's Mansion, there was a certain level of prestige, and it also caused the guards to be unguarded. After thinking about it again and again, it seemed that the only person who met these conditions was City Master Duan Qingjiang.
Ye Feng and Cao Lei looked at each other, and instantly turned their sharp gazes onto Duan Qingjiang's face.
"You all … You're not suspecting me, are you? "
Duan Qingjiang's face was filled with despair and regret, "If I had known this would happen, I would have killed them without a care, but if I had really killed them at that time, you would have suspected that this city lord had killed everyone, right?"
"Now that the four scums have fled, the envoys of the powerful countries will be arriving soon. I... "What should we do?"
"This City Lord has specially invited these few people to come here, it is not to ask them to do something for this City Lord. He just wants the four of you to be this City Lord's witnesses in the future. This matter, no matter what, is something that I cannot let go of. But I, Duan Qingjiang, am definitely not related to the Demon Sect. "
"I, Duan Qingjiang, swear on my identity as the Northern Han Dynasty, that I will never reincarnate, as long as my words are not false."
Duan Qingjiang regained some of his vigor and swore while raising his hand with a cautious expression.
Judging from his appearance, he indeed didn't seem to be a fake.
"You all … "Let's go."
After swearing his oath, Duan Qingjiang waved his hand helplessly.
Ye Feng and the others could probably conclude that the City Lord had nothing to do with this matter, but aside from himself, the few capable subordinates of this Master of the Pingliang City were all rotten, and there were even other spies within the City Lord's Mansion. Within this Pingliang City, it was unknown just how many people were colluding with the Devil Sect.
Indeed, it was as he said.
However, they were not in a good position. They allowed their subordinates to collude with the Devil Sect. Just this alone was enough to make them think that they were useless.
As for how he would deal with the envoys sent down by the Northern Han Royal Court and the Myriad Birds Building, or how he would explain it to them, it didn't matter to Ye Feng and the rest, even if they wanted to help him, they could do nothing about it.
She had already ran off, but Ye Feng didn't think that his family had the ability to help Duan Qingjiang catch the four of them again.
Hearing that, the four of them were no longer willing to stay at Pingliang City to stir up trouble, Ye Feng, Cao Lei and the rest nodded and left the City Lord's Mansion.
After a short discussion, they decided to leave the Pingliang City and travel south along the way.
The word "mighty in the south" was something that had already been locked on to by Ye Feng after a long period of investigation. It was located in the Nan Family which was located in the area of the southern borders of the Yuanwu Continent.
It was said that there were countless connections between their Heavenly Extreme Hall s and their foundation's strength, which was not inferior to that of ordinary Third Grade Sect s. The Nan Family's patriarch was even a King Stage Expert, obviously not an easy opponent.
But no matter what, it concerned his father's life and death, so no matter what, Ye Feng had to go over.
Going from the Northern Han to the South Qin required one to travel through a portion of the Western Tang Region. Cao Lei and Wu Xiaoyu were currently thinking of going to the Strong Country West Tang to get rid of evil and protect the way, so they needed to earn a bit more points.
The four of them continued on their way …
Although Ye Feng and the others had left, the matter of the Jiakou Village was not over yet.
Just as the sun was about to rise and the sun was about to rise, the vitality within Devil Master's body that was being attacked by the King Stage Expert was stirred up, causing Hei Ai's body to start melting. The skin and flesh on his body started to disperse like mist, and started to fall down continuously.
It looked like a wax statue close to a fire.
Just as Hei Ai was about to die, there were five other veiled figures, they were in a ghost-like shape, and their speeds were extremely strange as they jumped into the Poplar Valley.
For the current one, in terms of cultivation level, he only had Fourth Level of Void Stage, it would be better to just follow the two veils of the Martial Cultivator behind him.
However, whether it was the aura of walking, or the respectful expressions of the people behind him, this person was undoubtedly the leader of this group.
After passing through Mount Pan, the leader of the masked men did not enter the Jiakou Village village where the dark clouds had dispersed. Instead, he was slightly startled, and after a look of caution appeared in his eyes, he immediately flew towards the right rear, which was the cave where Hei Ai resided.
Judging from his familiarity of the road, it was clear that this was not the first time he had come to this place …
