Chapter 129 The power of Xiangshan
Xiangshan Town is located in the southeast of the Nanzhao Empire.
Xiangshan Town is not very big. Of course, this is only compared to other large cities in the Nanzhao Empire. It is much larger than Wangshu City or even Santong City in the eastern mainland. Due to its special geographical location, the economy here It is very developed. Countless people enter this town from all directions every day. Most of these people come here to do business, injecting a steady stream of economic vitality into this town.
Perhaps realizing the importance of this town, Feiyumen's influence has also penetrated in. Naturally, the participation of the royal family and the Heiyun family is also indispensable. In such an important town, it is simply difficult for other forces to penetrate, and they can only watch helplessly as the three major forces carve up this piece of fat.
Generally speaking, in a place like this, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there is plenty of fertile water, many people want to be sent here to take charge.
At this time, in a luxurious manor in the city, an old man was sitting in the hall, presumably the owner of this luxurious manor. To be able to sit in such a luxurious manor, this person's status is not bad.
"What's going on over at Feiyu Gate recently?" the old man suddenly said slowly.
"Sir, although the Feiyu Sect acted swiftly, they did not violate the agreement." A strong man in black next to him said respectfully.
"You can't relax either, keep an eye on me!" The old man's eyes suddenly shot out with golden light. He thought he was pretty good at cultivation.
"Sir, are we just going to watch their development like this?" said the strong man in black from before.
"Who would think so? However, there is nothing we can do about it." The old man seemed to sigh and continued, "What's going on with the Heiyun family?"
"Sir, the Black Cloud Family seems to have sent a strong man at the peak of Nirvana this time..." The strong man in black suddenly said uneasily.
"Are you at the peak of Nirvana? They are really willing..." The old man murmured, and then suddenly became a little serious, "Please go ahead and don't conflict with them during this period. As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, even we will You can give in a little bit and don’t worry too much about what will happen to them. Also, you can withdraw the surveillance of Feiyu Gate first. In short, everyone should try to reduce their activities during this period."
"Yes." The strong man in black felt a little unwilling, but still respectfully accepted the order.
"It seems that those people finally hit their bottom line, but they didn't know this time..." The old man suddenly muttered inexplicably.
In another village courtyard, a man was also listening to the report from his subordinates. He looked young, but he gave off a capable feeling. Judging from the aura emanating from him, his cultivation was not weak.
"Sir, those bastards from the royal family have been monitoring us. However, according to your instructions, we deliberately put the obvious work in front of them and allocated people to do more important things."
"Well, we are newcomers after all. We wouldn't have been able to infiltrate here unless there was a sect leader in charge. They wouldn't give us such a piece of fat easily. It's not surprising that the old guy Wu Yingqi sent someone to monitor him. But as long as we don't violate the agreement, they can't do anything about it. Now, what we lack most is time. You can show off openly, but secretly you have to speed up the process for me. "
"As ordered. By the way, sir, the members of the Heiyun family seem to have been attacked again..."
"Oh, I really don't know who has such courage, but it seems that they will not have a hard time this time. After all, Eucommia Ling is a strong man at the peak of Nirvana." The man sighed slightly, and then said, "You guys have to do these things Don't worry about it, just do what I ordered as soon as possible. When Du Zhongling solves this long-term threat, it will be even more inconvenient for us."
"Yes, sir."
"Du Zhongling, don't let me, Zhang Yi, down!" The man murmured, his eyes suddenly becoming fiery.
Far away in the headquarters of the Heiyun family in Nanzhao City, the patriarch Du Shang was extremely depressed some time ago. Du Molin, the foreign affairs elder, humiliated him at the competition. Du Molin was a relative of his clan and wanted to take this opportunity. Let him make some achievements so that he can be promoted, but unexpectedly it backfired in the end. As the patriarch of the Heiyun family, Dushan knew better what this competitive meeting represented. Therefore, at the elders meeting, when all the elders unanimously made the decision to investigate the matter in depth, he did not object at all and dismissed Du Molin on the spot. The position of foreign affairs elder made him think about his mistakes. Not long after this incident, news came from Xiangshan Town that the person in charge had been assassinated again. All in all, they had lost several people in charge in this small Xiangshan Town in the past ten years. The family's interests in Xiangshan Town have become a mess. After repeated decisions, he sent Du Zhongling to take charge. Originally, at such an extraordinary moment, he did not want to send these slightly capable people away from the headquarters. What he saw and heard at the Immortal Saint Meeting, especially what Du Dalong said The secret forced him to make complete preparations in advance. There was always a thorn in his heart. Although there was news, he vaguely felt that the person was not far away. If he was not careful, he would fall into eternal disaster. In such a situation, even though he has reached an agreement with the powerful man from Wangyue Palace in the Western Continent, he still can't sleep peacefully?
Du Zhongling didn't know Du Shang's thoughts. He was originally not happy to be sent to work in a small town. With his current cultivation level, he can be regarded as an elite child of the Heiyun family. Staying at the headquarters will be more beneficial to his improvement of strength. , but this was a unanimous decision made by all the elders of the Presbyterian Church, and he was unable to resist at all.
"Damn it." Du Zhongling couldn't help but cursed when he thought of this.
But no matter how reluctant he was, after arriving in this small town, a high and high feeling of freedom immediately emerged from his heart. It didn't take long for him to feel at ease. If a big event hadn't happened yesterday, he might still be hugging him at this moment. The beauty looked sleepy.
He had also heard a little about the situation faced by the Heiyun family in Xiangshan Town. The clan leader also warned him repeatedly before leaving. However, he did not expect that he had only been here for a few days and had not enjoyed enough of the luxurious life. Something like this happened down there, five lives were lost, and he had to get up from the gentle land.
The corpses of the five people were neatly arranged in the courtyard. The perpetrator's technique was clean and neat. The throats of all five people were crushed. At least three of the five people had entered the mortal realm, but they still could not escape this fate. As you can imagine, it's because the difference in strength between him and the other party is too great.
"Sir, the murderer may still be in the city..." Old Du said tremblingly.
As a member of the Heiyun family, Lao Du has lived in this Xiangshan Town for nearly forty years. Few people know his name, and everyone calls him Lao Du. Perhaps it was because he was just an ordinary person. Several people in charge were killed, and others were occasionally injured or killed, but he still did not suffer any damage. He knew that the adult in front of him was far from comparable to the previous ones, so there was a hint of fear in his tone.
"Then why don't you go after it!" Eucommia ulmoides said sharply.
"Sir, my subordinates have arranged manpower to pursue them, and they have also taken care of the aftermath of these five adults." Lao Du shuddered in his heart and finished the sentence in one breath.
"Oh!" Du Zhongling glanced at him in surprise, his expression softening slightly.
"Report to your lord, we found the murderer's whereabouts!" Suddenly, someone rushed over and gasped.
"Where?" Du Zhongling shouted.
"He...they just flew out of the city gate and headed...toward the eastern suburbs."
When Du Zhongling heard this, he said nothing. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Brother, can you still persist?"
In the eastern suburbs of Xiangshan Town, a man and a woman were supporting each other. After another fierce fight, their injuries had gradually worsened, and the aura in their bodies had become very disordered.
"Sister, I can't run anymore, you go first!" Suddenly, the boy spat out a mouthful of blood and said in a weak voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If we come out together, we have to go back together!" The girl was a few years older than him, and her injuries were not as serious as the boy's. Upon hearing this, she immediately scolded her, but her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings closely.
"Sister, you go first. If that person catches us, neither of us will be able to escape!" the boy said stubbornly.
"I can't leave you alone!"
The girl knew who the person he was talking about was. When they heard that the Heiyun family had sent such a terrifying strong man, they knew that it was impossible to assassinate him, but they were unwilling to do so, so they waited for the opportunity to take advantage of him. When he was in a state of chaos, he attacked other people. Unexpectedly, although the opponent's strength was not high, after killing five people, he finally exposed his whereabouts. At first glance, he had already alerted the snake. If he stayed any longer, he would attract the powerful statue. The reader's attention was gone, so he took the limelight and went back to make plans again. But the Heiyun family is not a vegetarian in Xiangshan Town. As soon as their whereabouts were discovered, many parties were mobilized to pursue them. After several battles, although the siblings had suffered heavy injuries to them, the injuries on their bodies were also visible, especially on their own. His younger brother was particularly seriously injured. After desperately rushing out of the city, he was at the end of his tether.
"sister……"
"Stop talking, let's rest here first...be careful!" Before the girl could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a terrible pressure coming on her and reminded her immediately.
"Two little dolls are so brave!"
As he finished speaking, Du Zhongling's figure appeared. Seeing how old the other person was, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. His eyes swept over the more seriously injured boy, and finally stopped at the girl, and a sudden heat surged in his heart. .
"He's finally here!"
The girl sighed secretly, and in an instant, as if she had made a difficult decision, she suddenly said to the boy: "Brother, we are no match for him. I will lure him away later, and you can look for opportunities to escape..."
"Sister, you..." The boy seemed to have thought of something and said sadly.
"Remember, you must take this news back to dad!" As she said that, the girl used all her strength to throw the boy away.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy." Du Zhongling's figure flashed and immediately appeared where the boy landed. A palm was printed on his chest. The boy vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and immediately fell back to the girl.
"Brother--" the girl yelled desperately.
"Sister, I have to take the first step..." the boy said sadly.
"Brother, sister will stay with you——"
As the girl spoke, she glanced at Du Zhongling hatefully, and then summoned up her remaining strength to free herself. She didn't want to fall into the hands of the person in front of her. She could understand what he meant from his fiery eyes. What are you wearing?
"Want to die? It's not that easy!" Her thoughts were not hidden from Du Zhongling. He waved his hand and a burst of energy shot out, instantly restraining the girl.
The girl froze, and deep despair surged in her heart.
"Little girl, as long as you obey, I will spare your life!" Du Zhongling licked his lips and stared at her rapidly rising chest.
The girl's heart was bleeding and she had a look of fear on her face. At this moment, a slightly cold voice suddenly came over.
