The sky has just broken, the night has not completely faded away, and the earth is still in a layer of darkness.
Originally, Kyoto City was very lively before dawn, but at this moment, because of the murder of King Chen yesterday, the whole city was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere, and groups of soldiers patrolled the streets closely.
The door of a mansion was wide open, and a middle-aged man in official robes was about to walk out, followed by four guards.
This man's name is Zhu Ningyuan, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
At this time, a confidant caught up and urged: "Master, Master, His Highness King Qi sent someone to explain yesterday. If the demon clan dares to kill King Chen, it is unlikely that he will do other crazy things."
"You'd better not go out until you catch the monster. It's too dangerous now."
Zhu Ningyuan glanced at his confidant and said: "What do you know? It is precisely because of the danger that we go. There is a saying that goes well, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."
"If others don't go on duty, I'll go. Being seen by His Majesty can at least leave an impression of conscientiousness. Maybe Your Majesty will promote me when he's happy."
A confidant advised: "The main reason is that the demon clan is too dangerous now, and it would be bad if an accident happened."
Zhu Ningyuan said: "It's smaller, the pattern is smaller, just because it's dangerous. Now the streets are full of people from the Demon Suppression Division, Jingzhao Mansion, and patrol camps. On the contrary, it's safer, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." The confidant shook his head, feeling that safety was the most important thing.
Zhu Ningyuan sighed, "This is why I am the master and you are the servant. You don't understand even if I say it, just leave."
Zhu Ningyuan walked out of the house, looked to the left, and saw people from the patrol camp just turning the corner from this street, and murmured: "The patrol camp patrols so tightly, how could something go wrong?"
Zhu Ningyuan walked down the steps in front of the house and wanted to board the sedan. He caught a figure in his peripheral vision and quickly looked to the right.
Although the figure had a stooped body, he was taller than him, with hair like a hedgehog hanging loosely on his back.
Zhu Ningyuan noticed something strange and shouted angrily: "Who is it!"
The four personal guards and the guard in front of the door immediately became alert.
Hearing the roar, the figure turned its head sharply, and under the sunlight, it was clearly visible that it was a ferocious face with green teeth and fangs, with its arms exposed, and it looked extremely pale, like a ghost from hell.
When the monster saw Zhu Ningyuan, it made a terrifying sound and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Zhu Ningyuan's expression changed dramatically. He was about to call for escorts, but those guards were useless. The monster directly strangled Zhu Ningyuan's throat with one hand.
Seeing such terrifying strength, Zhu Ningyuan's eyes were filled with despair, and regret flashed across his face. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone out.
…
Chu Ling opened her eyes and found herself in a room. When she wanted to get up, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Only then did he recall the battle with Qin Shu yesterday.
Chu Ling's eyes were immediately filled with disbelief, "How could Qin Shu be... so powerful?"
"He just had a battle with Senior Brother. I can't defeat him like this even with all my strength, and I can't even hurt him!"
"This is just a competition. If it's a life and death duel, Qin Shu will definitely have more than this strength..."
When Chu Ling thought about this, she felt powerless and deeply helpless.
Along the way, he has always been crushed within the same realm, defeated the strong with the weak, leaped into challenges, and gradually formed an invincible Taoist heart. But yesterday, he was severely defeated by Qin Shu, and he saw what it means to be invincible. There was a crack in the invincible Taoist heart.
"No, I can't let others gain arrogance and destroy my own prestige!"
Chu Ling clenched her fists tightly, her eyes showing her deep obsession with pursuing invincibility, "I will definitely defeat him!"
But at this moment, a voice appeared in his mind.
"Qin Shu is so strong, there is no way he can be defeated!"
"Qin Shu is truly invincible! Defeating him is simply a dream!"
"How to defeat him, you tell me, you tell me!"
Chu Ling thought of Qin Shu's invincible posture for a moment, and the chance of defeating him was too slim. His pupils couldn't help but shrink, and blood surged in his body.
"Well……"
With a creak, the door opened, and a man with a medicine box walked in. This man took off the disguise on his head, and turned out to be a demon with the head of an eagle and the body of a monster.
Then a beautiful girl with straight black hair, slim figure, white and delicate skin, but a gloomy temperament followed.
The eagle-headed demon tribe said: "Brother, you finally woke up! It's a big deal...why did you vomit blood?"
The gloomy girl also frowned, but did not speak due to personality reasons.
Chu Ling wiped off the blood and said, "It's okay, Zhong Lin, what big deal did you just say?"
The name of the eagle-headed demon clan is Zhong Lin, and he comes from the Xuanyi clan, a royal clan among the demon clan. He was rescued by him in an accident, and he and he worshiped Jin Lan and became brothers.
Chu Ling came to Daliang to participate in the competition. In addition to building an invincible Taoist heart, another reason was that the Daliang royal family had a treasure left by the ancestors of the Xuanyi clan. It happened to be among the competition rewards. Chu Ling wanted to help Zhong Lin get the treasure, but he lost too much yesterday. Crap.
Zhong Lin said: "Yesterday, Emperor Liang's sixth son, King Chen, was killed. He heard that he was killed by a demon clan. Now the whole city of Kyoto is in panic."
Chu Ling frowned and said dissatisfied: "Didn't you take care of your subordinates?"
Zhong Lin said: "There is no such thing. It was not done by us, but by other demon clans."
"What!" Chu Ling said in shock: "Besides you, are there other demon clans in Daliang Jingdu City?"
Zhong Lin said: "Yeah, we don't know where we came from. Now the whole city is under martial law and we can't get out!"
"Brother, we were harmed by those monsters!"
Chu Ling's thoughts were confused for a moment, and he never thought that besides their group of monsters, there were other monster clans.
But he also saw the stakes in it. He had a close relationship with Zhong Lin. If he was caught at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.
…
the other side.
A figure in white had a gentle smile on his face, looking at the kneeling demon clan in front of him, and held out a lifeless heart with his claws.
This is the heart that King Chen lost.
The figure in white picked up the heart, looked at it for a while, and said: "Others have always said that you have a pure heart, but I think you are short-sighted, so I have always been curious about what your heart looks like. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
"But now if you put this heart anywhere, it will definitely cause a wonderful disturbance~"
The figure in white smiled and already thought about using this heart to complete a beautiful article.
At this time, a man in black robes came over and knelt down and said: "Master, something happened. Zhu Ningyuan was killed when he went out. The surviving guard was said to have been killed by a demon that looked like a yaksha. The scars on his body were also extremely similar to those of King Chen." resemblance."
"Zhu Ningyuan is dead?" The figure in white asked in surprise, "Did the demon clan around Chu Ling do it?"
The man in black robe said: "No, we have been keeping an eye on the demon clan over Chu Ling. There has been no movement since yesterday. It should be another demon clan who did it, but we haven't caught it yet."
"Other demon clan?" The figure in white was suddenly confused. Apart from Chu Ling's side, were there other demon clan here?
Then he was enlightened and realized that he had the ability to raise the demon clan in private, and there were other people who could raise the demon clan as well!
He planned to use the infiltrated demon clan as a cover to stir up trouble, and someone also took the opportunity to use his plan to stir up trouble!
This is called the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind!
"There was such a big commotion yesterday. Now that Zhu Ningyuan is killed by the demon clan, it will definitely cause a series of chain reactions, which means that it has been a long-planned plan..."
"It's chaos, everything is in chaos!" The figure in white was thinking fast and angrily squeezed the heart in his hand, "Damn it!"
"Who the hell is raising such a powerful demon clan?"
