In Lancheng, the capital of the Northern Territory, Lin Zihan passed through the strict defense line as if he was in an uninhabited land. Within the high walls of the defense line, the soldiers with guns and live ammunition did not even question Lin Zihan's identity.
After seeing the young man in black and red clothes, the thick iron gate of the defense line slowly opened. Between the two city wall fortresses, the soldiers lined up neatly, as if they were welcoming a marshal.
Lin Zihan, who passed through the city's defense line, had cold eyes and did not care about the relationship between the soldiers arrayed in the defense line and the military commander. Lin Zihan just wanted to maintain the status quo and maintain a wonderful relationship.
After passing through the fortress-like city defense line, Lin Zihan looked at the bustling crowd in Lan City, which was no different from when he left. However, the prosperity of Lan City was not as prosperous as that of Nandu.
Walking slowly through the streets, Lin Zihan was not in a hurry. The distance from Lancheng City Defense Line to Blue River Hotel was only a matter of minutes for Lin Zihan.
After taking a look at the sky, Lin Zihan stopped. For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss and loneliness in his heart. In the bustling streets and passers-by in a hurry, no one paid attention to Lin Zihan's slightly strange dress.
The black and red jacket seemed to be elegant and soft, but it revealed the heaviness of a battle armor, exuding a terrifying low pressure around Lin Zihan.
On the street, no one paid attention to Lin Zihan, but everyone seemed to be circling around Lin Zihan. Occasionally, a car sped past and disappeared.
Although such a peaceful situation is not as prosperous as Nandu, it is not as prosperous as Nandu, which has a golden color of money and a cold wealth everywhere.
Lin Zihan looked at the candy shop on the roadside. There was a look of déjà vu in his eyes. He had bought a jar of lollipops like that for Wu Kexin before, but he did not expect that the same candies could be seen in the north.
…
"You've been waiting for me for a long time!" Lin Zihan noticed that on this side road that was not the main road, there was a person with an aura that was incompatible with the surroundings, and that person was obviously waiting for his arrival.
"It has indeed been some time. I thought you would come faster." Lan Luoran stood in front of Lin Zihan. As the supreme commander of the Northern Territory and the Chief of Military Affairs, he would actually appear alone at a street intersection in the Northern Territory. .
"It's just that I haven't felt the human atmosphere of this city for a long time, and I feel a little nostalgic." Lin Zihan said coldly. For the person in front of him, Lin Zihan couldn't say that he liked it, but he didn't hate it either. He just had a vague feeling that he didn't want to get close to him. a feeling of.
"Take a few more glances. When you return to Nandu from this trip, you will no longer be Lin Zihan." Lan Luoran said in a low voice. Although Lan Luoran was not involved in what happened in the Black Tower, as the current Yuan Yuan How could the most powerful being of the star not feel that sense of oppression, slowly coming from the Northern Wilderness.
"His abilities are more terrifying than you imagine!" Long Jing's voice sounded at this inappropriate time, which made Lin Zihan feel a little weird.
After coming out of the black tower, there was no trace of the dragon crystal. Even though Lin Zihan wandered through his spiritual sea several times, there was no trace of the dragon crystal, and Duan Nao seemed to be sleeping forever.
Gently stroking the mottled wall with his right hand, Lin Zihan looked at the chief executive in front of him. Although his elegance was still the same, his face was deeply wrinkled and he no longer looked like he had when he was young.
"?" Something strange flashed across Lin Zihan's face, that kind of panic, uneasiness, and cold sweat instantly covering his forehead. It was just a moment of breathing, and it seemed like a long time had passed for Lin Zihan.
"This feeling of suffocation?" Lin Zihan looked at Lan Luoran in surprise. This Shadow Sect, known as the Lord of Dark Night in the Shadow Palace, had a status far above Xuan Yu. Among the Seven Shadow Sects, he was the only Xuan Yu. Yu didn't see the future clearly.
As for Yuan Xing, Xuan Yu has no clear future, only Longzi Lin Zihan and Dark Night Lord Lan Luoran.
"As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory Military Division, and as the Shadow Sect of the Shadow Palace, these two identities are completely different and even conflicting. I don't know, your existence is to the North Territory, and to the Shadow, Is it a good thing or..."
Lin Zihan's words were not tactful, but he didn't say the last words either.
Because when he looked directly into Lan Luoran's eyes, Lin Zihan saw the black tower and the cosmic prison standing in the northern wilderness, the prison where Xingfa was imprisoned.
I wonder if there is some connection between the dark night controlled by Lan Luoran and the Black Tower. When Lin Zihan saw Lan Luoran's pair of dark pupils, he felt a sense of oppression coming over him.
This feeling was something that Lin Zihan had never experienced before when facing the four Shadow Sects and the second elder and five Shenghui elders. Even when facing Xingfa, Lin Zihan had never experienced this feeling before. It seems that Lan Luoran has become more terrifying because of the black tower.
"The person standing in front of you now is an old guy who has lived for more than two hundred years. He wants to see the future of this planet and what this young man who is closely related to Yuanxing's future will look like. "Lan Luoran walked slowly to the bench on the side of the road and put one hand on the support of the bench.
Lan Luoran's look was kind and kind, or rather contented. He didn't have the slightest hint of intimidation that he had just appeared at the intersection, and even exuded an enviable air of old age.
"Now that you've seen it, I'm going to meet the person I want to see." Lin Zihan did not stop, but walked away from behind the bench and walked towards the Blue River Hotel, which can be seen from here of tall buildings.
At this time, Lin Zihan didn't care about Lan Luoran's identity. He wanted to see his sister Wu Kexin and meet the brother who came to Lancheng for him.
Lan Luoran didn't say much. As for what happened in the Black Tower in the Northern Wilderness, no one knew better than him. A demon was about to walk out of the Black Tower and would bring darkness to the world.
…
"Kexin~!" Lin Zihan gently opened the door and saw Wu Kexin sitting by the bed. Dingding was nestled in Wu Kexin's arms. The room was actually a little different from when he left, and it looked newer. Some.
"..." Wu Kexin did not respond, but slowly turned around, her pale pink pupils glowing with excitement the moment she saw Lin Zihan.
Lin Zi's cold and stern face was also filled with an excited and happy smile. At this moment, he was not a dragon son, a dragon master, or the so-called young man with a big responsibility, but just a younger sister's brother.
"Brother, you're back!" Wu Kexin was as excited as a child, rushing directly to Lin Zihan's side, rushing up and throwing herself into Lin Zihan's arms.
And Dingding, who had just drooped his head, was now jumping up and down in the room excitedly.
The noise in the room naturally attracted the attention of the people in the room next to him. Xia Ming quickly pushed open his door and passed through Wu Kexin's open door. He saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure from behind. The shoulders seemed wider.
"You're back!" Xia Ming saw that the two of them were almost intimate. He had been standing at the door for so long, and neither of them seemed to notice him, so he whispered, his tone was as gentle as if he was talking to his girlfriend. Talk the same.
"Of course!" Lin Zihan let go of Wu Kexin's hands and whispered, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.
"Where are Lin Yafeng and Xu Mo?" Lin Zihan looked at Xu Mo, but did not find Lin Yafeng and Xu Mo. Logically speaking, the three of them should appear in the hotel together.
"Lin Yafeng went out to investigate the matter. As for Xu Mo, it seems that he left for Beihuang. Didn't you meet him?" Xin's safety is in danger, so I left without you.
"Beihuang? Why did he go to Beihuang?" Lin Zihan asked, suddenly recalling Gui Chan's words at that time in his mind, "Jin Tie Xuan Ling? Did Xu Mo wear that ring?"
"..." Xia Ming thought slowly for a moment, "It seems so. I remember that when he came, he had a ring on his index finger."
"It seems that Xu Mo has finally taken over the Nandu Palace. That's fine. Those people are brothers with Xu Mo through life and death." Lin Zihan put a hand on Wu Kexin's shoulder and whispered.
Wu Kexin is now only half a head shorter than Li You. She is no longer as short as before, but she still exudes a childlike spirit. Leaning on Lin Zihan's shoulders, the two of them really look like each other. Like brothers and sisters.
"Brother, let's go back!" Wu Kexin took Lin Zihan's hand and said coquettishly, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Lin Zihan was naturally aware of Wu Kexin's emotions, even clearly. He vaguely felt that Wu Kexin seemed to be hiding something from himself.
"Kexin, look what this is!" Lin Zihan took out a few candies from his pocket. It wasn't that Lin Zihan was stingy, but that in the candy shop, Lin Zihan rummaged all over and only found a few coins. I can only afford the five lollipops in my hand.
"This is..." Wu Kexin blinked her big eyes, looked at the lollipop in Lin Zihan's hand, and instantly forgot all what she had just said.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go out and have something to say with your brother Xia Ming!" Lin Zihan said, turned and walked out of the room.
Xia Ming, who was behind him, naturally understood and followed Lin Zihan out of the room, closing the door gently.
The hotel on this floor is very empty. Only two rooms, Wu Kexin and Xia Ming, are occupied. The entire floor has been taken over by Su Yu. But now, it seems that not only this floor, but also the entire hotel is empty. .
"What happened during my absence?" Lin Zihan looked at the empty hotel and asked in a low voice, why is the Blue River Hotel, as the largest hotel in the north and a hotel directly under the military department, so deserted.
"Not long after you left, the hotel suffered an attack... Fortunately, no one was injured. Lan Hong also took over the investigation of the matter. It seems to be related to the Empire Federation..." Xia Ming whispered, his eyebrows lowered.
Lin Yafeng is also looking for relevant clues through his own intelligence network these days. Unfortunately, there is very little intelligence that can be collected. But what is clear is that it is by no means a simple attack, but a premeditated attack on Wu Kexin.
"The Empire Federation is really haunting!" Lin Zihan slapped his hand on the window sill and said viciously.
