In the League of Heroes mansion, a rapid sound of gongs broke the silence of the night.
"Dang, Dang, Dang! Everyone, get up! Quick! Gather in the courtyard!" Then there was a burst of noise.
"What's going on? Are you not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night?" Suddenly woke up, someone felt a headache and cursed.
"You're taking your time! Hurry up! Don't keep the leader waiting!" Seeing no one move, the man outside raised his voice a few more times.
"Uh...is this the alliance leader's order? Could something have happened?" The man didn't dare to delay any longer. He directly held the clothes in his arms and rushed out of the door while wearing them.
On the high platform, Lu Hanjiang, who was holding a sword with one arm, glanced at the situation in front of him and said to the person next to him: "Go and count the number of people."
"As ordered." After receiving the order, the man quickly retreated. It didn't take long for the man to return: "Returning to the Alliance Leader, there seem to be a few missing. I will go find them now..."
"No need..." Lu Hanjiang's voice turned cold, and he was about to give some instructions when he saw a figure sneaking into the crowd.
"Stop! Who is so unruly? Give me your name!" Lu Hanjiang shouted like thunder, penetrating the night and shocking everyone's hearts.
"Back to the leader, I'm Qiao Cui." After being discovered, Qiao Cui's face turned pale instantly. Before he could take the initiative to show up, he saw the crowd on his left and right retreating to both sides, exposing him.
"Before I take the initiative to speak, I hope you can take the initiative to explain, and I may consider sparing your life!" Lu Hanjiang said expressionlessly.
Qiao Cui pretended to be confused: "Lord Leader, I have been resting in the room today and haven't done anything!"
"Ha!" Lu Hanjiang no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Qiao Cui, so he snorted and stepped away.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Don't think that no one will know if you sneak out." As a sinister voice sounded, Hua Zhi also appeared,
"Tell me, where did you go when you went out this time, and who did you meet?"
"I..." If faced with the alliance leader, there is still a way to fool him, but everyone knows that the deputy alliance leader has a surly personality, and it is common for him to kill his life in public.
However, Qiao Cui had already given up her life when she decided to join the League of Heroes. Naturally, the identities of Wu Ren and others would not be exposed at this moment. She could only bite the bullet and said: "Back to deputy leader, I have been resting in the room and never left. .”
"You damn duck has a tough mouth..." Hua Zhi's eyes turned cold, and he saw that one of his arms was red in color, and his flesh and blood were undulating like waves, stretching in the direction of Qiao Cui.
"Deputy leader, I was wrong! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" Just at the critical moment when Qiao Cui was about to be entangled by the scarlet arms, a voice begging for mercy tore through the night.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a few figures standing out from the crowd.
"Sir Deputy Leader, this matter is all our fault. Please be merciful and spare Guard Qiao's life!"
"That's right! Guard Qiao didn't want to go out originally, but we forced him to go out for a drink... Today's fault is all ours. Please tell me, leader!" Lu Hanjiang heard from Hua Zhi that someone was having an affair with a foreign enemy, so he hurriedly took him out. Everyone gathered, and the situation in front of him made him a little confused. He turned around and asked, "Hua Zhi, what's going on? Have you investigated clearly?"
"Uh... Of course I have investigated carefully..." Hua Zhi actually heard about it from others, and he was filled with hatred when he heard it.
Lu Hanjiang looked down upon the direction of the Hua Branch. Seeing the frightened look of the group of people below him, he also changed his expression: "Everyone who joins the Hero League must abide by the rules of the Hero League, so the deputy leader is so strict to avoid accidents. Something happened that hurt you...your name is Qiao Cui, right?"
"Exactly." Qiao Cui nodded hurriedly.
"I see everyone's hard work, but if you break the rules, you will be punished, so... is it acceptable if I put you in confinement for a week?" Lu Hanjiang said with a smile.
"Of course, of course!" Compared to losing his life, this kind of punishment is not painful at all.
"I'm sorry to bother you all so late. Since it was a misunderstanding, everyone should go back and rest as soon as possible..." After saying this, Lu Hanjiang, who turned his back, once again put on a look of disgust: "Hua Zhi, the same species I don’t want this to happen again!”
"Damn it... I'm just a broken alliance leader, what's so big about it!" Hua Zhi's eyes were full of fierceness, his whole body was shaking with anger, and then he jumped off the high platform with a slight jump.
...One of the Hero Alliance members was about to leave, but was caught by Hua Zhi and taken to a hidden place.
"You guy, you actually made me look embarrassed in front of that old man!"
"Deputy leader, please listen to my explanation...I really didn't lie to you!" The hero alliance member was about to explain,
"I actually saw Qiao Cui leading a group of people from the exit that day..."
"Stop talking nonsense! I haven't seen anyone come out of the trial alive!" Hua Zhi said with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Hua Zhi's face was getting more and more ugly, in order to protect himself, this man was about to tell the news of saving his life: "But deputy leader, I also saw..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a heat in his throat, and Hua Zhi's chest was already covered with blood. The arm was pierced, and as the vitality disappeared, the whole person instantly became stiff.
"Deputy Alliance Leader, Deputy Alliance Leader... You're quite happy with what you're saying for a Deputy Alliance Leader!" After getting rid of the guy in front of him, Hua Zhi looked up at the night sky again, with two red lights shining in his long eyes.
"There really isn't a reliable guy who hasn't come back after being delayed for so long..."...
"Thank you brothers for your help." On the way to the confinement room, Qiao Cui hurriedly thanked these people for their help.
"Collect people's money and eliminate disasters for them." The man walking beside Qiao Cui whispered, and then motioned to Qiao Cui not to ask any more questions.
Could it be said that they were not ordered by the sect leader? If it’s not the sect leader, then who else could it be? The other party's answer confused Qiao Cui.
While on the road, he once looked at a few people, but found that they looked strange and did not look like members of his own sect.
It's a pity that we can't ask too much about the sect, so Qiao Cui can only write it down first...
"Sir, your cloth is made of a special material. I don't think I have that skill. Otherwise, you should try it at another tailor shop..." In a tailor shop, an old man with white hair and a stooped body was seen, with a bitter look on his face. In front of him lay several pairs of scissors with broken blades.
"Anyway, I've thanked you for your hard work. Let this money be regarded as...compensation." As he said that, the man opposite casually threw some money away, then turned and left.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wu Fan did not choose to leave immediately, but wanted to find a tailor shop in the city.
Because unlike the old fairy, the opera ghost can often be used as a weapon, so whenever the former is silent, Wu Fan will suspect that it has been thrown away by him, which is really a psychological burden.
Wufan wanted to use this piece of cloth to turn into clothes, and the opera ghost happily accepted the offer. Because of the help he received, this piece of cloth is just a shelter for the current opera ghost. If the old immortal hadn't been too talkative at the time, he would not have fallen into this situation... In short, no matter how much Wu Fan tried, he would not have fallen into this situation... have an impact on itself.
But Wu Fan visited several tailor shops in the city. In the end, nothing was accomplished, and he lost a lot of money. He was really helpless.
"Young man... young man..." Wu Fan was about to leave, but saw the old tailor chasing him out.
"Is there anything else? Old man."
"Young man... I know an Orion who is the best at dealing with these special materials! Maybe he can help you!" The old tailor was running too fast and was out of breath.
"Oh?" Wu Fan became interested,
"I wonder where the Orion family you mentioned is?"
"Then Orion is no longer in the city...just wait..." the old tailor said as he returned to the shopkeeper and took out a ledger to look through it.
"The last time he came back was before winter... Although I don't know the exact location, he was probably here..." Following the pointing, there was a very rough mark there, and Wu Fan couldn't see it no matter how carefully he looked. See why.
However, he did have some impressions of places farther away, especially the winding and twisted line of sky. It was very obvious that that was the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes!
"Ouch... that old man's nephew was very casual in keeping accounts. He actually recorded the accounts on the map... I wonder if the young man can see clearly?" the old tailor murmured,
"Why don't you wait a little longer, young man, and let me write down the accounts, and then give you this map..."
"Thank you, old man, but there's no need to bother." Because the location pointed by the old tailor happened to be at a straight line distance from Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, Wu Fan only needed to remember the direction.
"Okay... Young man, if you need anything else in the future, you can just come to see me..." Wu Fan didn't waste any more time, thanked the old tailor, and turned around to leave.
The old tailor who saw Wu Fan leaving also straightened his rickety back and strode back to the house... According to the original plan, Wu Fan was going to go to the Demon Locking Tower to investigate the situation there before the traveler arrived, and then Go to Huasheng Hall to find Qie Xuezun and find out what happened to Zai Xia.
But because there was one more thing happening at the moment, and these two things happened to happen together, Wu Fan could only choose to change his plan. After all, the priorities of the two things were the same.
Wu Fan had naturally heard of the evil name of Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, but of course he only heard about it. When he thought that he would have to pass by Huasheng Hall in the future, Wu Fan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
After thinking about it carefully, he returned to Luan Tower and asked Tao Yong to help him get some realgar. Tao Yong was also a little surprised when he learned that Wu Fan was going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, and hurriedly brought the realgar back.
He said that although it is not impossible to use this product to repel snakes, the effect is minimal. Then he pounded the realgar into powder and mixed it into the wine, and handed the realgar wine to Wu Fan.
After being warned by Tao Yonghao, Wu Fan finally left this place of right and wrong until his ears were about to get calluses.
...Away from the intrusion of monsters, life is brewing again. Before, Wu Fan couldn't feel it as a soul, but now he could finally walk in the sunshine openly, and his heart was illuminated.
Recently, he always felt as if a fire was igniting in his chest...even a little burning, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
In the past few days, Wufan passed many new villages along the road and received warm hospitality. Although the speed was much slower than planned, he lived a very relaxed and comfortable life without any worries.
In order to save time, Wu Fan came to the road early that day, but seeing the sky getting dark, he never saw anyone here again.
"Calculating the time, there should still be some distance. It seems that tonight I will return to my previous life..."
