In a space where he couldn't see his fingers, Zi Yang looked around and saw only the pitch-black void. What he stepped on was not the ground, but a silent abyss like stagnant water, which was a bit creepy.
After sensing something was wrong, his face changed with shock and he shouted loudly: "Where am I? Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
"Is there anyone? Answer me if there is anyone!"
With a panicked look on his face and his hair standing on end, Ziyang began to walk around in the unknown space, but he never found the exit.
Just as he sat down dejectedly, the baby's cry suddenly sounded, which made him stand up quickly and looked around with a panicked expression, but he didn't see anything.
The thunder light flashed in his palm, and his eyes were dazzling. His tense nerves did not dare to relax at all, and he said: "Who! Who is it?"
I don't know how long it took, but no one answered him in the darkness, but the baby's heart-rending cry became louder and louder.
"In that case, then I will destroy this place!" As he said that, he raised his right palm with lightning, and thousands of thunders fell from the sky, and the light instantly dispersed the darkness.
In the woods, Zi Yang, who was leaning against a tree trunk, suddenly opened his eyes. With a panicked look on his face, he let out a scream and his body suddenly leaned forward, with cold sweat on his forehead flowing down his cheeks.
Sitting by the fire, Hu Xiong and Xiao Liu looked at each other in confusion. The former asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Liu came to Zi Yang's side, looked at him who was still in shock, and said softly: "Are you having a nightmare?"
Zi Yang, who was panting heavily, swallowed, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, frowned and said to himself: "How could it be possible... It's exactly the same as the previous dream, what does this portend? What does it portend? !”
When Xiao Liu heard his roar, he quickly persuaded him: "Calm down, there is no obstacle that you can't overcome, just speak out."
Zi Yang clenched his right hand into a fist, punched the solid ground hard, and said, "Damn it! Damn it! I wish Zhufeng was by my side at this time."
Gradually, the ground he hit gradually collapsed, and the bloody fist marks on the ground were very clear.
Just because he had the same dream twice, with a baby crying in it, he felt it was not a good sign.
As Zhufeng is a divination prophet, if he is with him at this moment, he can also predict fortune and misfortune for him.
But since Zhufeng separated from him last time, to this day, there has been no news at all, which also makes Ziyang worry about his safety.
After all, Zhufeng's identity is a divination prophet. If he delivers Xiaohai home safely, through his divination ability, it is impossible to guess that Ziyang is in the Western Continent.
Ziyang has been in the Western Continent for a short time now, but Zhufeng seems to have forgotten him and does not come to the Western Continent to look for him.
The longer this time dragged on, the more he felt that something had happened to Zhufeng. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhufeng not to come to the Western Continent to look for him.
Xiaoliu saw that Ziyang was silent, with his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking. She looked back at Huxiong, who didn't know how to persuade Ziyang, so he simply lowered his head and added firewood to the fire. , without saying a word.
Xiao Liu asked in a low voice: "Zi Yang, who is Zhu Feng?"
Facing her question, Ziyang leaned against the tree trunk and replied with a smile: "Zhufeng is a coward, a loser, and a womanizer."
Xiao Liu couldn't believe it and said, "Ah? Is he your friend?"
"

Forget it, forget about him. He changed the subject and said, "What day is it today?" "
Before Xiao Liu could reply, Hu Xiong took the lead and said, "It's the third day."
Zi Yang looked at Xiao Liu with a smile and said, "We have been here for three days, won't those idiots come back and take a look?"
Xiao Liu said: "No way... No matter how stupid they are, they can't possibly chase them all the way from Fan City to the Northern Continent, right?"
Zi Yang shook his head and said, "Oh! If I had known this, we shouldn't have let them go in the first place, so we wouldn't have to wait for them here."
Xiao Liu sighed: "We can't wait. You don't have the Origin Stone in your hand. Fortunately, this place is not too far from the Ghost Realm, and we still have time."
Zi Yang looked at the tiger and bear with their heads bowed and warming themselves by the fire, and asked, "Hey, do you think the Yue Wen Plenum will send someone to arrest us?"
Huxiong paused, looked up at Ziyang, and said carefully: "According to Yue Wenquan's character, he must be thinking of eradicating the roots."
"However, he should not dare to use the people in the cottage, because they are all my old subordinates and are not very strong. Therefore, he will pay some killers with heavy money and let them look for us."
Zi Yang said: "Are you sure your old subordinates won't betray you for their own interests like Yue Wenquan?"
Tiger Bear looked at him for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
"To be honest, Yue Wenquan was once my best brother in the village. Even he would betray me, and so would they."
Zi Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "I have an idea, but I wonder if you would like to give it a try."
Tiger Bear suddenly became energetic and asked immediately: "Oh? How to try?"

Fancheng
In a luxurious manor, a middle-aged man wearing a black leather coat, with sparse hair, a dark complexion, and an unshaven beard was sitting in a stone pavilion.
This person's surname is Zhan Yun, and he is a person sent by the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce to garrison Fan City and manage all matters in the city.
The teapot on the stone table is steaming, and the fresh and pleasant fragrance of tea wafts from it, making you feel relaxed and happy. The bright moon in the night sky is reflected in the waveless, lifeless lake.
He picked up the teapot on the stone table, first poured a cup of fragrant hot tea into the unoccupied teacup opposite, and then poured it into the teacup in front of him.
Not long after, a dark shadow flashed in the night sky, and the next moment, a man wearing a black plush pullover cape sat down opposite Zhan Yun.
Zhan Yun opened his mouth to praise and said, "You are really good at it. You have already gained a big business in just a few days since you arrived."
Xiemu took off the cloak on his head, picked up the tea cup on the table, paused, and said: "Zi Yang from the Northern Continent is on the run. The mission of the Chamber of Commerce has not been completed, so there is nothing that can be done."
After saying that, he put the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip.
Zhan Yun immediately said: "You can't say that. The Chamber of Commerce is currently eager to use the Origin Stone. You are undoubtedly giving timely help."
"I believe that the big shots in the Chamber of Commerce will not blame you for not doing things well. On the contrary, they will reward you."
Xiemu placed the tea cup in his hand on the stone table, looked at Zhan Yun, and asked, "I heard someone said that just a few days ago, Ziyang from the Northern Continent appeared in your place?"
"The waiter in the tavern said that the servant came to report. As for whether that person is the Ziyang of the Northern Continent that you are looking for, it is not very clear." Zhan Yun finished speaking while holding the teacup, and then poured out the hot tea in the teacup. Drink up.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He picked up the teapot on the stone table, first poured it for Xie Mu, and then poured it for his own tea cup.
Xie Mu said anxiously: "It's been a few days, has the person who pursued him not come back yet?"
Zhan Yun sighed softly: "The man is back. But he is back empty-handed."
Xiemu looked calm and said, "What did they say?"
Zhan Yun stood up and came to the steps of the stone pavilion. He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the moonlight. He said: "They just said that the people from the Black and White Sword Sect were among them. It was they who alerted Ziyang in the Northern Continent. He escaped successfully."
"Also, it is said that he also brought a little girl wearing a black coat, I don't know who she is."
Xiemu's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said in confusion: "The people from the Black and White Sword Sect are also looking for him? As far as I know, that Ziyang in the Northern Continent should not have offended them."
Zhan Yun turned around and sat on the stone bench and said, "Since the people from the Black and White Sword Sect have taken action against him, they must have their reasons."
When he saw Xie Mu lowering his head and saying nothing, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and sighed: "Actually, as long as you are in the Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't matter whether you can catch Fu Kui or not."
Upon hearing this, Xiemu raised his eyes and stared at Zhan Yun, and said directly: "Is this why you let Ziyang of the Northern Continent go?"
"It's not necessary..." Zhan Yun took a sip of hot tea and shook his head: "Since the news about Qingyun City spread, we have lost the best opportunity. If we want to capture him now, we are basically digging ourselves. A grave."
Xiemu's face froze and he said, "What do you mean?"
Zhan Yun said in detail: "The Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger now, and it has gathered more powerful people. This is not a good thing for other forces in the Western Continent."
"Do you think they will let the Chamber of Commerce grow stronger step by step until they have the power to overthrow them?"
"A big tree attracts the wind, so you should not do some things. Otherwise, even if you succeed, it will not be worth the gain, and you may even be wiped out."
Xiemu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is this why you sent me a message?"
Zhan Yun held the tea cup, swayed the tea in it left and right, and said slowly: "This is just my personal opinion. Besides, when I call you here this time, naturally I have a new task from the Chamber of Commerce to give you."
Just as Xiemu was about to ask a question, a man wearing black clothes and a black mask came over. He knelt on one knee in front of the steps of the stone pavilion, holding a letter in both hands and said: "Report! Report to the city lord, Letter from the Chamber of Commerce.”
Zhan Yun waved his left hand, and the letter in the man's hand flew into his palm. He said, "Go down."
"Yes." The man in black took a few steps back and then quickly disappeared on the gravel road outside the stone pavilion.
Seeing that he kept looking at the letter without saying anything, Xiemu couldn't help but ask: "Could the content in the letter be related to me, right?"
"It's not just you, this letter concerns all branches of the Chamber of Commerce and everyone moving around." He threw the letter to Xemu, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea.
After Xiemu saw the contents of the letter, he glanced at Zhan Yun intentionally or unintentionally and said, "As you expected, everything is too late."
"Since the people above have spoken, we'd better do it." Zhan Yun stood up and came to the steps of the stone pavilion and said, "Here comes someone."
Just hearing a few whooshing sounds, several black shadows flew out of the darkness, knelt on one knee outside the stone pavilion, and said in unison: "City Lord."
Zhan Yun put his hands behind his back and said: "Go down and recall all the people searching outside. The plan to capture Fu Kui is cancelled."
