lawless zone
In a magnificent courtyard somewhere, Yingluo, who is wearing a tight-fitting night gown and has a tall and charming figure, is sitting on a stone bench under a willow tree. On the stone table is hot tea filled with the fragrance of tea.
Her cold face is still as cold as a thousand years of ice, giving people a feeling of being thousands of miles away.
Not long after, Jia Juesheng, wearing a tan brocade suit and short boots, arrived in front of the stone table.
Jia Juesheng calmly sat down on the stone bench opposite her, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and asked casually: "What do you want to see me for?"
His words and actions were like talking to an old friend, and Yingluo didn't feel the slightest discomfort about it.
First of all, the main reason why Jia Juesheng is like this is because Yingluo agreed to let Xuan leave. This is also the key to the easing of the relationship between the two.
Although he was captured by Yingluo, Yingluo never insulted him, and there was no arrogance in the tone of her conversation with him.
Even though he tried to escape with Xuan Yi, Ying Luo still didn't do anything to them.
Secondly, Jia Juesheng was captured by Yingluo and brought here. In addition to his personal freedom being restricted, eating and drinking was a complete pleasure. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was regarded as a distinguished guest by Yingluo.
Also, Ziyang defeated the casual cultivators within the jurisdiction of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, which made Jia Juesheng worried, so he went to beg Yingluo to let Xuan Yi leave.
To Jia Juesheng's surprise, Yingluo agreed without any hesitation, which also made Jia Juesheng work harder to train the formation master for her.
Of course, Yingluo sees Jia Juesheng's contribution to Tianlong Mansion.
If Jia Juesheng hadn't been Zi Yang's partner, she might have trapped him here and never let him go.
Yingluo said calmly: "In the past six months, you have trained nearly a hundred outstanding formation masters for my Tianlong Mansion. I really want to thank you on behalf of the master of the manor."
Although she said thank you, her cold face was expressionless. Anyone who talked to her for the first time would definitely feel that she was not sincere.
But Jia Juesheng had known her for such a long time and had some understanding of her temperament and character. He didn't feel any dissatisfaction about this.
Jia Juesheng got straight to the point: "How long will I stay here?"
After saying that, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank. In his opinion, asking was in vain. Yingluo would not let him go no matter what.
But he and Yingluo really had nothing to say, so he would ask about this every time he saw Yingluo, and the answers he would get would always be the same.
Yingluo said: "I called you here today just to tell you about this matter..."

Youcheng
In a tavern somewhere, Zi Yang, Wu Yu, Xuan Yi, and Tang Sheng were sitting around a wooden table. The things on the wooden table were very simple, including a pot of hot tea, a few tea cups, a worn-out bamboo hat, and a wooden box.
It's just that both Xuan Yi and Tang Sheng like to drink, so only Zi Yang and Wu Yu drank the tea on the table.
Tang Sheng, who was sitting by the window, looked back at the passers-by outside the tavern, then frowned and looked at Ziyang and the others and said, "He won't be detained, right?"
The person Tang Sheng mentioned was naturally Guan Yue, because he had a five-colored stone in his hand, so he would not miss the opportunity to exchange for medicinal herbs from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce.
Just because Guan Yue had been gone for a long time, Tang Sheng saw that he had not returned yet, so he
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He was worried that he would be made things difficult for him by the people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce.
Zi Yang said with certainty: "It's impossible. Several sect leaders from the Black and White Sword Sect, Haizong, Haoran Mountain, and the Butcher Alliance are here. The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will not intentionally make trouble for a mere herbal medicine."
"You know, the Black and White Sword Sect and other sects have not surrendered to the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, so the Lord of Youcheng will naturally not lose face in front of several sect leaders."
Wu Yu nodded and agreed: "Indeed. The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce has long wanted to win over the four major sects, but they are also fools. Therefore, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce has not yet reached an agreement with them. In some matters, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce still wants to show off its sects. Well-mannered."
Tang Sheng inadvertently saw an acquaintance riding a horse towards the outside of Youcheng. He looked at Ziyang and the others with excitement and said, "Hey, hey, guess what I saw?"
Zi Yang, Wu Yu, and Xuan Yi looked at each other in confusion. Obviously, they did not have any answer to Tang Sheng's question.
Tang Sheng chuckled and said: "Yue Jian from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce left the city angrily. As soon as he left, Jia Juesheng should be back soon."
Wu Yu rolled his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then who will have the colorful stone? Is it Qing Lu from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce? Or the casual cultivator who controls the corpse?"
Zi Yang and Xuan Yi had no clue. The former said: "No matter what, the colorful stone must not be in Yue Jian's hands."
Xuan Yiyi said: "We'll find out when Guan Yue comes back later."
Just at this moment, footsteps came from the direction of the stairs. A few breaths later, Guan Yue walked up. When Tang Sheng saw him, he smiled and said, "Hey, I'm back."
Ziyang, Wu Yu, and Xuan all turned around and saw Guan Yue's forehead covered with fine sweat, as if something was urgent.
Zi Yang felt something was wrong. He stared at Guan Yue and asked, "What's wrong?"
Guan Yue sat down on the wooden chair beside Ziyang and said, "We have to get out of here quickly."
Wu Yu looked slightly confused and said, "What happened? Are you so anxious?"
Guan Yue picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, then drank it all in one gulp and said, "Forget it, the colorful stone was taken away by that Qinglu, but he did not show up today."
Zi Yang said: "Don't ignore him. As long as we are within the jurisdiction of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, he will not dare to attack us. You can rest assured about this."
Guan Yue was very worried and said: "Having said that, Ling Feng's death has dealt a great blow to him. No one can guarantee that he will not jump over the wall in a hurry."
Zi Yang said seriously: "I still have a few things to do."
Xuan Yi stood up and picked up the old bamboo hat on the table, then put it on his head and said, "Go to Sword City."
Feijiu traveled thousands of miles from the Northern Continent to the Western Continent. Since Ziyang already knew that he was in Jiancheng, he naturally wanted to go over and say hello to him. Even though he now has Guan Yue who has excellent medical skills, Feijiu is not here The move touched him deeply.
Fei Jiu, who was born as a bandit, could be so trustworthy and come here without fear of life or death. Moreover, he went through countless hardships to find Zi Yang and others.
Judging from Feijiu's actions alone, Xuan Yi really hoped that Ziyang would invite Feijiu to join their team, but Ziyang did not respond.
The few people left as they pleased. When they walked out of Youcheng, Guan Yue, Wu Yu, and Tang Sheng were in front, and Xuan Yi and Zi Yang were behind. He couldn't help but ask: "Zi Yang, are you still planning to let them go?" Will the flying eagle return to the northern continent?"
Ziyang also understood what Xuan Yi meant, he had no choice but to
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He smiled and said: "Feijiu is indeed very loyal to us, but he has his own team. If I invite him to join our team, wouldn't it make things difficult for him?"
"You can't force anything. It's best to let nature take its own course. I won't refuse him if he wants to join our team, but I won't take the initiative to invite him."
"If he treats us like this, let alone his companions."
Xuan Yi said intentionally: "We are in urgent need of a doctor right now. In a place like the Western Continent, we can't go far without a doctor."
Zi Yang smiled naturally and said, "Don't worry about the doctor, the poison magician can still detoxify."
"Poison Warlock?" Xuan Yi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and asked, "Did she agree?"
Zi Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Not yet, but I don't think she will refuse because she is already homeless."

sword city
A middle-aged man dressed in black, with a yellow face and some freckles on his face entered Sword City with the crowd of people. The black dragon sword on his waist was looming, hidden by his clothes.
This person is Kuang Ming, the founder of Kuang Clan and the father of Kuang Da and others.
For some reason, Kuang Ming seemed to have noticed something when he entered the city, and suddenly quickened his pace. Soon, he came to a remote alley.
Kuang Ming smiled casually and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm just here to find someone, not to cause trouble."
Except for Kuang Ming, no other person appeared in the remote alley. A few breaths later, a very soft voice came: "Looking for someone? Are you looking for a few young masters from your family? Or is it someone else? "
After hearing what the man said, Kuang Ming seemed to have guessed who it was. He laughed and said, "I have long heard that there is a very talented sword cultivator in Sword City. When I saw him today, he was really a woman. "
When he first entered Sword City, he was noticed by the opponent, and his strength must not be weak.
The man hiding in the dark said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Senior Kuang Ming is so complimentary."
Because Kuang Ming first entered Sword City and was not clear about some things in the city, he said: "I came here just to find those useless things. As for the other people you mentioned, I really don't know who they are." Now that I’m here in Sword City, can you tell me something?”
The man replied softly: "These young masters are living very well in Jiancheng. Senior Kuangming wants to take them home, and this junior can understand. As for senior's problem, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
Kuang Ming saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he didn't pursue the question further, saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in the other person you mentioned."
The person who spoke in secret had no intention of showing up. She said: "In that case, senior, please excuse me, and I will leave now."
There is something in Kuang Ming's words: "People must have self-awareness. People without self-awareness will find it difficult to stand."
After a brief silence, the woman said: "Senior, you are too worried. Only fools will do things that touch the bottom line. I have never liked fighting, let alone fame and fortune. Otherwise, I would not be trapped. In this sword city."
"That's very good." Kuang Ming lamented: "The Western Continent has just ushered in a few years of stability. Now this situation is what everyone wants to see. War can only bring more killings. As long as you can stabilize Only by living here can people live a good life."
After saying that, Kuang Ming said no more, turned around and walked out of the alley, gradually disappearing into the crowd like an ordinary monk.
