Without saying a word, Huxiong sat by the fire all night. At dawn, he opened the temple door and left quietly.
Ziyang, who was sitting on the straw with his back against the earth wall, heard the sound of the door closing. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the extinguished fire.
Xiao Liu stood up from the straw wearing his black clothes, looked at Zi Yang helplessly, and sighed: "It's okay now, the only person who can help you is gone."
Zi Yang took off his black clothes and patted the dust on them. After he put on his clothes again, he said, "Didn't I tell you that I won't associate with him? Even if he wants to help me, I won't agree." .”
Xiaoliu changed the topic and said: "We can't stay in this place anymore. The whereabouts of the four members of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce are unknown. Others will definitely look around. Soon, they will find this place."
Zi Yang blinked slightly and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? The person they are looking for is me, and I have nothing to do with you. Why are you worried?"
Xiaoliu smiled faintly, stared at him with dissatisfaction and said, "That's not what you said last night."
When she mentioned it like this, Ziyang also thought of what he said to her, which made the man in black notice her. He smiled and explained: "Oh! I just want to try your skills, that's all. Don’t be so vindictive.”
Xiao Liu shook his head and said: "Hold a grudge? I don't dare to hold a grudge against you. If one day I am really injured, I'm afraid you will rub salt in my wounds."
Zi Yang smiled and touched Xiao Liu's head, but she pushed him away. He knelt down and put his left hand on her shoulder, and raised his right hand to touch the long hair hanging on her chest.
He frowned and said, "Your hair is almost stuck together, and your face hasn't been washed for who knows how long. Do you just not care so much?"
"Ah, I'm used to it..." Xiao Liu lowered his head in embarrassment.
In her opinion, the more scruffy you are, the safer you are because you won't draw attention to yourself.
Zi Yang stood up and said, "Our mission today is to get out of this mountain range, and then find an inn where you can take a good bath."
Xiao Liu immediately said: "Aren't you going to the bandit's lair?"
Zi Yang said carefully: "Didn't you say that the bandit leader is at a very high level? I won't act easily until I'm sure."
"As long as I take action, I must rescue the person. Otherwise, not only will the person not be rescued, but the snake will be alerted and the bandits will be prepared."
Xiao Liu asked again: "What about the people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce? Aren't you worried that they will come to catch you?"
Zi Yang smiled and replied: "This is easy to handle. As long as we keep walking, the people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will keep looking for me. As time goes by, they will no longer try to catch me."
Those imprisoned by bandits will not be in danger of their lives in a short period of time. The bandits only capture them so that they can mine.
Therefore, Ziyang's current enemies are only the people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. Once he gets rid of them, he will have a lot of time to deal with the bandits.
Zi Yang walked to the temple door, suddenly stopped and stood, looking down at Xiao Liu beside him, and said, "Xiao Liu, there is something I want to ask you."
Xiao Liu looked up at him, blinked his eyes in confusion, and said, "What's going on?"
Zi Yang hesitated for a long time and said: "If a person wants to protect himself and the friends around him, must he have a strong force?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
? "
Xiaoliu answered naturally: "Does this need to be said? The top forces are not only a powerful force, but can also intimidate other surrounding forces. Only in that way can we better protect ourselves."
A person's power is ultimately small, and no matter how talented he is, he cannot make up for the gap in numbers.
Ziyang defeated tens of thousands of monks in front of Qingyun City, relying not only on strength, but also on luck.
Also, those monks were just casual cultivators from nearby towns, and their talents and strength were very average.
Zi Yang said with great interest: "Oh? You seem to know this very well?"
Xiao Liu paused, looked at Zi Yang in surprise, and said: "Understand? What do you understand? Isn't this an obvious thing? You have been chased by people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce for so long, don't you even understand this kind of thing? ?”
Zi Yang was silent for a long time and nodded: "You are right. If you want to achieve great things, you must recruit people. Only when there are more people will others feel panic and fear."
Xiao Liu said: "A person as powerful as the Evil Sword God died in the Northern Continent. He is the most typical example."
"No matter how strong a person is, he cannot kill all the monks in the Western Continent. However, the fact that he can escape back to the Northern Continent proves that his control of swordsmanship has reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Zi Yang said directly: "If a few more people with similar strength to the Evil Sword God enter the Western Continent with him, will his ending change?"
When Xiao Liu heard this, his eyes widened, he looked at him with a shocked expression, and hesitantly said: "Uh... this... maybe."
"But you have to understand that there are many problems here. Let's not talk about how many people can be found in the Northern Continent who can compete with the Evil Sword God. If the Northern Continent really fights with the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent will Aren’t you going to take action?”
Zi Yang stopped thinking about those troublesome things and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go."
The two walked out of the ruined temple and walked for a whole day until they arrived at the gate of Fan City at nightfall.
Fancheng is different from Qingyun City. Qingyun City is surrounded by mountains and can be said to be an isolated city. Fancheng is surrounded by several adjacent towns, and they are not far or close to each other.
Zi Yang glanced around. Maybe it was because of the evening. There were not many people going in and out of the city gate, and it looked a little deserted.
He didn't pay too much attention to it, he raised his feet and was about to enter the city. Xiaoliu stood there and looked around, his slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
Zi Yang walked dozens of steps away and found that Xiao Liu was not following him. He looked back, waved to Xiao Liu and shouted, "Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Liu hurriedly came to his side and asked with great confusion: "Zi Yang, don't you think this Fancheng is very deserted?"
Ziyang didn't take it seriously, nodded and said casually: "It's a bit deserted. To put it bluntly, Qingyun City is even more lively than Fan City."
Xiaoliu said as he walked: "This place is thousands of miles away from Qingyun City, and there are other towns within a hundred miles of it. It stands to reason that even if it is close to night, there should be many monks entering and leaving the city gate."
After hearing what she said, Zi Yang thought about it carefully and said, "Oh? You mean something big is going to happen around here?"
Xiao Liu glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, shook his head and said: "It's not that there's something big going on around here, it's that there's something big happening on the Western Continent.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"
"We have been in the deep mountains and forests for so long and know nothing about the outside world. Looking at the situation here, there is definitely something shocking."
Zi Yang looked at Xiao Liu with a smile and said, "This is easy to handle. Let's go find a tavern in the city, sit down and ask, and we'll understand."
When the two entered the city, one was carrying a long sword and wearing black short boots with two white and black swords embroidered on the outside.
A man in black clothes with a ponytail stood at the foot of Fan City. The clothes outside his left shoulder were also embroidered with two crossed white and black swords. He held a portrait in his hand and looked at it carefully. Behind him, There were dozens of people standing there, all wearing the same clothes.
Obviously, they are disciples of the same sect, and there are so many of them, so they must be here to complete something.
However, the person in the portrait in the leader's hand looked a bit like Ziyang who had just entered the city.
----
Even though the outside of Fan City is deserted, there are many taverns, shops and other places in the city, and there are also a lot of monks walking on the streets. They are more than twice as many as the Qingyun City that Ziyang has been to.
Of course, Fan City is several times larger than Qingyun City. Even the roads on the street are several feet wider. It is normal for there to be many taverns and monks.
Zi Yang looked at the gorgeously dressed monks walking on the street, as well as the shop fronts that were all made of liquid spiritual source stones. When Zi Yang saw this scene, he immediately said: "This Fan City is even more lively than Qingyun City. There are many, and the shops and taverns along the road are more impressive than those in Qingyun City."
Qingyun City and Fan City are both towns in the Western Continent. Because of their different geographical locations, the rise and fall of the two places can also be seen with the naked eye.
Xiao Liu glanced at him and said, "Don't think that there are only a few people like this in Fan City."
Zi Yang looked at Xiao Liu in surprise and said, "A few people like this? No, there are not many of these people on the street?"
Xiaoliu said naturally: "Fan City is the richest town within the jurisdiction of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. Even compared with other major towns in the Western Continent, it is second to none."
"What did you say?" Zi Yang frowned immediately after hearing her words. He quickly looked at the monks on the street and asked in a low voice: "This place is under the control of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce?"
Xiao Liu put his hands behind his back and said carefully: "Well, everything in Fan City, as well as several towns around it, are also under the jurisdiction of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
"Also, Qingyun City is also the territory of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. However, it is too remote there and there are no top experts from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
Zi Yang was shocked. Unknowingly, he actually ran to the territory of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. He confirmed again: "You mean, there are experts from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce in Fan City?"
Xiaoliu nodded and said: "That's for sure. Fancheng is not an ordinary town. The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will naturally send people to manage this place and protect the shops here. This city is their treasure."
Zi Yang said intentionally: "I didn't realize it. You know the towns in the Western Continent very well."
He had long thought that Xiao Liu's identity was not simple, and looking at it now, his guess was right.
Judging from Xiaoliu's understanding of Fancheng, she should have been here before. Even if she had never been, she must have heard about it from others. Otherwise, she would not have known such detailed information.
