Chapter 499 - Where Is It
Chapter 499 – Where Is It
When An Zheng caught the little monk, the little monk pointed at the backyard with his miniscule movements. At the same time, the City Master who was fighting with the Six-Winged Skeleton in the city earlier, Daxi Changge rushed back and landed in the place where the black light had disappeared in a flash. However, Daxi Changge had disappeared the moment he turned around. No one knew where he had gone to. After he disappeared, the black light also disappeared.
The little monk pointed to the other side before fainting once again.
An Zheng grabbed the little monk’s pulse. Even his pulse was extremely weak, it was almost indiscernible. He had overdrawn his life force, so much so that he could die at any moment. If Qu Liuxi was by his side now, it would be easy for her to help him with his medical treatment. But even though An Zheng had a few pills Qu Liuxi had refined, they were not enough to cure him. An Zheng didn’t have time to think as he took out a medicinal pellet from his spatial ring and stuffed it into the little monk’s mouth.
The Golden-Rank pellets Qu Liuxi refined were peerless in this world, regardless of whether it was purity or medicinal effects, they were all displayed to the limits of the Golden-Rank pellets. In addition, the damage to the human body had also been reduced to the limit. In this world, there were still many people who were even more talented than Qu Liuxi in pill refining.
The effects of the pill were excellent. Not long after the little monk swallowed it, his face regained some color and his breath calmed down. However, his body was still weak and envious. He had continuously overdrawn his life force, so it was impossible for one or two pills to make up for it. The pills that An Zheng gave him could at most help him strengthen his body and mind.
After a few minutes, the little monk slowly woke up. After opening his eyes, he looked at An Zheng gratefully.
“Thank you …” You’ve already saved me twice. ”
An Zheng shook his head. “You saved the entire Floating Mist City twice.”
The little monk struggled to stand up, but there was no strength left in his body. An Zheng carried him horizontally and looked around. He wondered what kind of disaster would befall him if he left him in the City Lord’s Mansion, and decided to take him to a safe place to compete with the price. Very quickly, Chen Shaobai and Qi Tian also rushed over. Seeing that the little monk was alright, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Qi Tian sighed: “I have never had any good impression of people from the Buddhist Sect, but little master, you deserve my bow.”
He clasped his hands together and bowed.
The little monk wanted to stop him, but he couldn’t. An Zheng, Chen Shaobai and the other two had a discussion, the City Lord’s Mansion was definitely nolace to stay for long. No matter what, City Lord Daxi Changge’s performance was a little too strange. The sudden appearance just happened to be when the black light flashed in the backyard. Then he disappeared again, and the black light was gone. Not long after the black light disappeared, all the Six-Winged Skeleton withered away.
Currently, cultivators were still killing the Six-Winged Skeleton s who had lost their ability to resist. There weren’t many people in the City Lord’s Mansion either. An Zheng and the others took the opportunity to leave Floating Mist City.
Chen Shaobai said: “It’s not good for us to leave like this, no one knows the origins of those Six-Winged Skeleton, if we do not investigate this matter clearly, I will not be able to walk with peace of mind. This time, the Six-Winged Skeleton attacked the Floating Mist City, causing at least tens of thousands of people to die, and most of them were ordinary citizens who had no way to protect themselves. “If we don’t get rid of this mess, we will be sinners.”
Qi Tian said: “If I didn’t see you say those words, I would have thought that it was An Zheng who said it.”
An Zheng said: “Let’s find a safe place for now and help heal this young master. He is currently too weak and is in danger at any time.”
Chen Shaobai: “I havlace.”
He rummaged through his personal space and found a wooden box, “This is one of the gifts my father gave me. This thing cannot attack or defend, so no matter how you look at it, it is basically useless. However, as long as there was one benefit, it would be able to perfectly cover everyone’s aura, and even the experts of the Lower Celestial Stage would not necessarily be able to detect it. We will stay outside Floating Mist City for a while, if the Six-Winged Skeleton comes again, we can still help. ”
He opened the wooden box and with a flash of white light, the four of them entered a space.
Space magic tools were usually made at relatively high prices and sold at outrageously high prices. However, they were actually not very useful in the first place. The reason why the price of such a magical equipment was so outrageous was because it satisfied the desires of some people. For example, for those who held high positions and amassed countless wealth, where would they put these things? If there was a wooden box like Chen Shaobai, it would be extremely difficult for even an expert from the Lower Celestial Stage to detect it, much less the normal cultivators who were investigating the case.
Even without evidence, there was no way to do it.
After entering the space, even Qi Tian could not help but exclaim: “This magical equipment is considered priceless.”
Qi Tian was very experienced, there were not many things that could make him praise them. The space inside the wooden box was so large, it was somewhat outrageous … After entering the space, one would find himself in a green field that was at least four to five miles away. Just a single glance was enough to make one feel at ease. The grass was smooth and green, making people want to sing out loud. And in the distance, there was a manor built from white stone. The scale was even more shocking.
White stone walls, white stone bridges, white stone buildings, with green grass and the walls covered with vines and dotted with flowers, it looked very beautiful. On the roof of the tallest castle, there was a large, fiery red flag gently fluttering in the breeze. Even from afar, one could see a black word on the flag … Chen.
Qi Tian said: “I already knew that your family must be rich, but I never thought that you would be rich to this extent. Not to mention anything else, just this spatial artifact alone could not be exchanged for an attack or defense from someone at the peak of the Purple Golden-Rank. This is still a peaceful and prosperous world, if it is chaotic, we will not even exchange it for a small country. ”
Qi Tian was not exaggerating at all, if it was in this chaotic world, this small wooden box would simply be likaradise. A place that even Lower Celestial Stage Rankers would not be able to find, where they could bring their entire family and live in seclusion was simply not more perfect.
This place was big enough. Behind the manor, there was a beautiful looking small mountain. Below the mountain, there was a clear river that finally merged into a small lake. The waters of the lake could be used for fishing. It was as calm as the surface of a mirror. The pavilion, the fishing boat, everything was there. Halfway up the mountain, there waouse built according to the size of the mountain. Although it was not as big as the manor, the scenery was even more beautiful.
Imagine living in that house halfway up the mountain, with its huge French windows, and the scenery of the lake and the river outside. It was such a beautiful and picturesque life.
“That old man of mine was a well-known man back then. It’s not hard to understand that he has some good things in his hands.” Furthermore, he once held a high position. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was one of the ten most powerful people in the world back then. ”
After Chen Shaobai finished speaking, he glanced at An Zheng, “Oh, you were once one of the ten most powerful people in the world. On the surface, it looks like you only have three thousand subordinates, but if you were to climb up high, the number of people willing to fight alongside you might be countless.”
An Zheng could not be bothered with him, he carried the little monk into the villa.
On the way, the little monk fainted again, only waking up after settling down at the manor. The first thing he asked An Zheng after opening his eyes was, “How many people did the Six-Winged Skeleton kill when they attacked Floating Mist City? When you said it earlier, I didn’t hear it clearly. ”
An Zheng replied: “I’m afraid there are more than ten thousand commoners.”
The little monk’s expression changed and a look of pain and compassion appeared in his eyes. After a moment, tears of blood began to flow from his eyes.
“Young master!”
Chen Shaobai hurried over to support him. “You … You don’t have to be too sad, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. ”
Tears of blood flowed down from the two cheeks of the little monk. His already pale face was shocking to behold, and he gave off a feeling that caused people to shudder. He just sat there without saying a word, but everyone could feel the sorrow in his heart.
“If I …”
The little monk opened his mouth, but nothing else came out.
An Zheng patted his shoulder, as he said something.
“If my body was better, I should be able to save them. Even if he could not save so many cultivators, he could still save many ordinary people. And in this world, the people that should be saved the most were the ordinary people. For cultivators, to a greater or lesser degree, everyone is guilty. ”
The little monk shook his head and wiped the blood off his face, “But what about the people? No matter who stood at the top, their mouths full of righteousness and morality, their mouths full of compassion, it was still the people that were suffering. In this world, many disasters should fall on those sinners. Although ordinary people all have their own crimes, most of them can be redeemed. ”
Chen Shaobai knew that all the people from the Buddhist Sect spoke in such a manner, so he didn’t mind. An Zheng’s heart suddenly moved, as though he had thought of something.
At this moment, a hissing sound came from outside, followed by a war chariot descending from the sky. It was one of Chen Xiaoyao’s sword slaves … Sword Three. An Zheng had seen Jian San before, he was a benevolent looking old man, but when he attacked, it was extremely tyrannical, shocking.
When Jian San came in, he first paid respects to everyone, and then said to Chen Shaobai: “Young Master, I found out a bit about the matter that you told me to investigate earlier. That person called Daxi Changge, is indeed not simple. ”
Chen Shaobai looked at An Zheng and explained: “When the Six-Winged Skeleton appeared in the city, Jian San also needed to come and help. I let him check Daxi Changge’s background.”
Swordthree said, “On the surface, this person appears to be a nominal disciple of the Buddhist Sect. But I just found out that he and the Peacock Palace have a very mysterious relationship. I snuck into his study room and found a certain person’s correspondence with the Peacock Palace. I could vaguely see that this person had an inseparable relationship with the previous generation’s Peacock Palace’s Venerable One, which was also known as the Peacock King. I speculate that he is the disciple of the previous generation’s Peacock King, and he is also the only male disciple. From the contents of the letter, if not for Xu Meidai’s appearance, he might have even been able to enter the Peacock Palace and become the first man in history to become Duke Ming. ”
An Zheng frowned, “That’s why he became the city lord of the closest city to Peacock City.”
Qi Tian smacked his forehead, “I thought of something... Xu Meidai suddenly appeared and was chosen by the Peacock Palace as the new Duke Ming’s successor. Therefore, Daxi Changge was definitely dissatisfied in his heart. The reason he made all these Six-Winged Skeleton was to take revenge on Peacock Palace. If he intentionally fails to report it, it will cause huge losses and damage the reputation of the Peacock Palace. ”
An Zheng slightly nodded his head: “There are some principles behind it, but it cannot be arbitrary.”
The little monk looked at everyone and hesitated to speak.
At the same time, outside Floating Mist City, alace not far from where An Zheng and the others had disappeared, Daxi Changge held onto his battle bow and looked around coldly: “Where did you go?”
