The setting sun shines slantingly, and the sky is dyed with rosy clouds.
On the horizon, a lone golden cloud was traveling against the wind, piercing through the vast sea of clouds, crossing thousands of miles in the sky, and floating over Guangping City.
The lone cloud dissipated, and a black figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a fierce pressure, like the north wind sweeping in in late winter.
Zou Qin, who had been prepared for a long time, hurried forward to greet him, bowed and saluted, and looked at the black-robed man who landed on the ground, his eyes full of admiration.
"Zou Qin, the Lord of Guangping City, meets King Qingyang."
A famous king of the human race, a Qi Refiner of the Five Realms, a peerless murderer who picked off the demon king's head and made countless demon clans fear him...
Zou Qin naturally admired this kind of person very much, and he was very excited to meet him.
King Qingyang had long eyebrows like hooks, and his eyes seemed to have murderous intent. His uniform was stained with blood, black and red.
Although it was suppressed deliberately, a vague smell of blood still spread faintly, and it was unknown which demon king's blood it was. It made people frightened, and ordinary soldiers did not dare to approach it at all.
King Qingyang raised his eyes and saw Ren Changfeng standing behind Zou Qin. His eyes finally softened a bit, and he nodded slightly at Zou Qin.
"City Master Zou, I am very grateful for your help."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. It is your duty to fight against human spies." Zou Qin said politely, but the corners of his mouth almost curled up.
Although the territory of King Qingyang is quite far away from Guangping, this good relationship will definitely bring great benefits.
Zou Qin didn't say much. He wisely turned to the side and gestured for Ren Changfeng to come over, hoping to reunite the grandfather and grandson who had almost been separated forever.
Unexpectedly, King Qingyang did not look at his precious grandson, but instead asked with some expectancy:
"Jiang Haike...where is he?"
"Jiang Haike?" Zou Qin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it should be the mysterious young man Ren Changfeng mentioned.
"King Qingyang, it seems that the only people who have seen that mysterious man are Young Master Ren and these human spies."
As he said that, he pointed back. The noodle shop owner, cook, and others were all detained. Each one was wrapped in iron chains, and had steel hooks pierced into their vital meridians. Their cultivation levels were all blocked, and they couldn't die even if they wanted to.
Zou Qin continued: "According to the young master's description, the mysterious man disappeared two hours ago. Do you need me to look for him?"
"Forget it." King Qingyang said a little less interested, "If he wants to leave, you won't be able to find him."
Seeing this, Zou Qin couldn't help but secretly guess who Jiang Haike was, that even King Qingyang paid such attention to him.
Ren Changfeng's curiosity was also aroused. He ran over and said "Grandpa" in a few steps, which soon made King Qingyang's eyebrows relax and his mood improved a lot.
"Grandpa, is he really called Jiang Haike? He feels so young. What kind of master is he?"
King Qingyang looks like he is in his forties or fifties, with dark hair on his temples. He seems to be in his prime, but he is actually over a hundred years old.
The famous king of the human race sighed softly, recalling the past, his eyes were deep, showing a sense of vicissitudes of life that was very inconsistent with his appearance.
"The origin of this person is a mystery. He appears and disappears. Grandpa can't figure it out...but you need to remember that he is the benefactor of our Ren family. When you meet him in the future, you must treat him with courtesy."
"My grandson will remember it." Ren Changfeng nodded obediently, "I gave the family jade pendant to Jiang Haike, and even invited him to visit me."
"Did you give him the jade pendant?" When King Qingyang heard this, he actually smiled and touched his precious grandson's head.
"What a coincidence."
…
Because the grandson of King Qingyang was rescued in time and several human spies were also arrested, Guangping City was not closed for long before it was reopened.
More than 20 young people in Beishan Village did not dare to go out on the streets before and only dared to stay in the market selling medicinal materials.
As a result, the guards suddenly blocked the market, and their way was blocked. They could only sneak into a closed shop and huddle under the table, all of them fearful.
The voices of the guards outside were getting clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that they were about to investigate. Everyone was sweating profusely.
Just when they were about to be exposed, a whistle suddenly sounded and all the officers evacuated.
The lockdown is over.
"I told you that Shenzhu will definitely protect us, but you still don't believe it!"
Xiaofei's father stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was shocked, but still said proudly:
"Get out of the way, I'm going to explore the road and buy candied haws for my son."
The city gates were wide open, and pedestrians were coming and going. This small border town soon regained its former vitality.
A gust of wind and sand blew by, quietly leaving Guangping.
The clone of Zhu An, wearing a bamboo hat and a ge robe, stood alone in the wasteland outside the city.
He raised the fish-shaped jade pendant in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then threw it in the direction of Beishan, hundreds of miles away.
The jade pendant was raised high, like a bird flying into the sky, flying farther and farther, and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
North Hill.
Deep in the dense forest, a cave hidden by weeds suddenly appeared.
A faint stream of light flew from the sky and fell into the hole accurately.
The cave was illuminated by a dim light, and it was filled with messy objects.
Bamboo slips, letters, portraits, tokens, gems, broken bones, feathers...
There are thousands of them.
Among them, there are two identical fish-shaped jade pendants, one new and one old, placed side by side. The new piece of jade is the Ren family token given by Ren Changfeng just now.
The mountain breeze came slowly, and the green bamboo shadow emerged at the entrance of the cave. The bamboo leaves stretched out and looked at the items inside.
"There are so many, I almost forgot some of them."
In the silent cave, bursts of clear chirping suddenly sounded.
A bamboo slip began to tremble, and the words on it turned into mysterious lights, like dragons and snakes dancing, trying to break free from their restraints.
The bamboo slip slowly rose into the air, then shot out of the cave with a whooshing sound, flying into the distance.
In the wilderness, Zhu An, whose pseudonym was "Jiang Haike", raised his hand, and the bamboo slips fell from the sky and fell gently into his palm.
He didn't even look at it, just put it in his arms.
"It's time to clear some old accounts. I didn't expect that the ambitious young man back then would become the scum of the human race."
Zhu An turned to the east, headed towards the center of the human race's sphere of influence, and disappeared among the boundless grass.
At the same time, somewhere far away, someone was reading the message in his hand and suddenly sneered.
"Jiang Haike? Suspected to be a master of Qi refining?"
"Oh, you dare to interfere in this matter without being a King of the Fifth Realm, and you are seeking death!"
