Chapter 299: Catching Turtles in an Urn and Fighting Against Qian Shuang
Three streams of Yuanli spurted out like a gentle rain and quickly landed on the three newly joined guards.
Although it did not cause them any substantial harm, it made them the target of public criticism.
After a brief period of confusion, Su Chen was the first to react and looked at the three people who were stunned.
Soon, the remaining six people also came back, isolated the three people, and surrounded them.
They didn't know why Mr. Wu suddenly targeted these three people, but as a guard of the city lord's palace, they just had to obey orders.
Maybe he will make meritorious service and receive a reward from the city lord's palace.
"Mr. Wu, what exactly did we commit?"
A little panic flashed on the faces of the three people surrounded, but more of them were puzzled. One of them looked at Mr. Wu and asked sternly.
Mr. Wu did not explain, but gave an order: "Among the seven of you, whoever takes down one of the three of them can get another Royal Blood Pill!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the six people except Su Chen suddenly lit up.
If you capture one person, you will get one Imperial Blood Pill, and if you capture three people, you will get three.
The value of the Royal Blood Pill is self-evident, and the minds of the six people became active with Mr. Wu's words.
The three of them wanted to question Mr. Wu about his reasons, so the six of them took action directly, encircling him from all sides and attacking him.
Su Chen also took action, and he was extremely ambitious. He fired his bow from left to right, and he had a tendency to take down the three of them by himself.
Seeing Su Chen's meddling attitude, the remaining six people unexpectedly reached a consensus. They cooperated with each other and at the same time distanced themselves from Su Chen, unwilling to part with the fat sheep they had obtained.
When Su Chen saw this, he was naturally unwilling to give up. He became irritated and angry, and the moves on his hands became more and more fierce.
His eyes swept across the area, aiming to intervene. Not only did he have to deal with the three people who were arrested, but he also had to fight against the attacks of the remaining six people.
As a result, the pressure increases greatly.
After several fights, surrounded by everyone, he actually lost.
This is exactly what Su Chen wants.
Under his intrusion without leaving any trace, the battle that was supposed to be over without a cup of tea actually lasted for half an hour.
Su Chen properly showed his anger and exhaustion and stepped aside, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Without Su Chen's interference, the six of them quickly captured the three of them and brought them to Mr. Wu.
Before speaking, they all snorted coldly as they looked at Su Chen who was recuperating.
This time to capture three people, if Su Chen hadn't interfered, the six of them would have completed the task faster. One can imagine their dissatisfaction with Su Chen.
When they saw that Su Chen had been busy for a long time and found nothing, the six of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
In comparison, they not only gained Mr. Wu's attention, but also gained substantial benefits.
"Very good, these are three Emperor Blood Pills. The six of you can distribute them among yourself." Mr. Wu waved his hand and summoned the guards.
After the guards escorted the three people out, he took out three Imperial Blood Pills and handed them to the six people. It was their business to distribute them.
Then, Mr. Wu began to arrange the whereabouts of the seven people.
Perhaps it was because the performance of the six people just now won Mr. Wu's heart, so the place arranged for them was much better than Su Chen's.
Although they were all patrolling the City Lord's Mansion, the six of them were patrolling in the West District, while Su Chen was assigned to the East District alone.
The West District is where the City Lord usually works. If you patrol the West District, you will have more chances to see the City Lord and receive rewards.
Compared to the Eastern District, Mr. Wu naturally attaches more importance to it.
Su Chen didn't care about this, he was still thinking about what happened just now.
The battle just now was not in vain for him. On the contrary, he got a very important news.
"The three people captured are all warriors from the Holy Yuan Kingdom."
After returning to the room where he was assigned, Su Chen began to think in his mind.
Baoxiang City belongs to the Holy Blood Kingdom, and Liusha City belongs to the Holy Yuan Kingdom. The two cities are located on the border between the two countries, with prosperous commerce and exchanges with each other.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the two cities should be good.
Even if the scope is expanded to include the Holy Yuan Kingdom and the Holy Blood Kingdom, there is no hostility between the two Holy Kingdoms.
Under such circumstances, the city lord of Baoxiang City treated the warriors of Shengyuan Kingdom like this, arresting them directly without any reason, and not even giving the three people a chance to defend themselves. It was weird both inside and outside.
"Fortunately, when I hid my identity, I also concealed my aura. What I showed during the assessment was the aura that a Qi-blood warrior should have. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would also be caught. Although I don't know what the final result will be, but If this disrupts my plan, the gain outweighs the loss."
When it comes to the Dharma Realm, the difference between Qi and Blood warriors and Yuanli warriors is not so obvious.
The best way to make the distinction is to rely on breath.
The aura of a Qi-blood warrior contains a wisp of the warrior's Qi-blood aura, making it relatively easy to distinguish between the two.
Su Chen also followed the local customs and had a cautious personality, so when he participated in the assessment, he directly hid his aura and turned into a Qi and Blood Warrior. In addition, his Qi and Blood itself was good, so naturally no one else found out about it.
"Everything about this matter is weird. I always feel that this matter is related to Zhu Yan. It seems that we need to investigate the results as soon as possible and take the opportunity to rescue Zhu Yan."
Su Chen, who originally planned not to alert the enemy, did not bother to rest, so he changed into guard clothes and began to familiarize himself with the layout of the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, with one post every ten steps and one sentry every hundred steps. There are guards patrolling everywhere.
Even in the relatively desolate East District, there are many more patrolling guards.
When these guards saw Su Chen wearing armor, they would sometimes stop and ask.
After Su Chen told the truth, he let go.
Simply keeping the surrounding environment in mind, Su Chen planned to go to the East District to have a look, but was stopped by someone.
"Stop, who are you? You don't know that guards from the West District can't enter the East District?"
A guard stopped Su Chen and said sternly, stopping Su Chen from moving forward.
Su Chen scratched his head and showed a simple smile: "Sorry, I'm a new guard and I don't know much about this yet."
After being forgiven, Chunyuan Dan cleared the way, and the expressions of the two intercepting guards improved.
"Well, be more careful next time."
The two waved their hands, not doubting Su Chen's words.
They also know about the recruitment of guards today.
Su Chen did not leave, he glanced around, took out two more Pure Yuan Pills, and began to get close to the two of them.
"Brothers, I've just arrived here and I don't know much about the situation in the mansion. Can you please make it easier for me and tell you where you can go and where you can't go? So that I don't know the situation and break the rules and cause trouble. It's the cause of trouble." Su Chen said with a humble attitude.
"It's easy to say that there are a lot of rules in this City Lord's Mansion. Although we are guards, we only need to be responsible for the affairs in our own area on weekdays. Don't wander around. Otherwise, you will be expelled. The City Lord's Mansion is a small thing, but losing your life is a big deal. Let me tell you about the rules and restricted areas in the house..."
After a conversation, Su Chen gradually felt confident. He clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you two brothers."
"It's okay, we've just been here a little longer than you, so we have a little more experience."
The two of them didn't care. Under Su Chen's pill offensive, after just a few words, they became brothers with Su Chen and had a very happy conversation.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Su Chen returned to the house.
This outing gave him a deeper understanding of the overall strength and layout of the City Lord's Mansion.
In terms of overall strength, it is not as exaggerated as the outside rumors. For example, among the patrol guards in the West District, there are only about a dozen divine realm warriors.
Most of the rest are Yuanshen realm warriors.
The strength of the guards in the East District is much stronger than that in the West District, not only in terms of protection, but also in the strength of the guards.
According to the two men, the closer they are to the place where the city lord lives, the stronger the guards are.
In addition, except for a few places, Su Chen also had a general understanding of the layout of the city lord's mansion.
And these places were precisely the places Su Chen had designated as the focus of exploration.
After inquiring about these circumstances, I felt more and more weird about the recruitment of guards this time.
The strength he displayed was at the Dharma Realm level. He successfully joined the city lord's palace, but he could only serve as a guard.
With such strength, in those small and medium-sized sects, he is at least an elder.
"Anyway, let's go and have a look at night."
Night falls.
Su Chen stayed in the room. He would only start patrolling tomorrow, and tonight was just the right time for him to go out.
After waiting for the third watch, Su Chen changed his clothes, turned into the messenger of the night, and left the room.
Hiding his aura and avoiding the patrolling guards at the same time, Su Chen slowed down a lot.
After spending half an hour, Su Chen arrived in the East District.
The East District was one of the places Su Chen planned to explore tonight. The city owner's family usually lived here.
"Um?"
Just as he entered the East District, Su Chen paused and stopped moving forward.
"There are actually warriors from the Longevity Realm guarding it!"
The other party was hidden very deep. If Su Chen hadn't been sensitive, he might not have been able to find it.
Although he found the other party, it made Su Chen difficult.
He is not worried about being discovered by the other party. As long as he is careful, the other party may not be able to discover him.
Rather, he was worried that there was more than just a Longevity Realm warrior hidden inside the Eastern District.
In this way, his movements will be greatly restricted.
Boom, boom, boom!
While Su Chen was thinking, suddenly the sound of gongs and drums came from the entire city lord's palace.
The sound rang out, and the fire suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the City Lord's Mansion like daylight.
"what's going on?"
He looked around and saw many guards rushing out with torches held high, patrolling around, and there was a hint that something big was happening.
Such a situation forced Su Chen to end tonight's operation early and planned to go back first to find out the current situation.
On the way back, Su Chen could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became solemn.
But looking over, Su Chen didn't feel like he was being attacked, but like he was training soldiers, which made him a little confused.
Not long after, Su Chen returned to his residence.
Entering the room, he changed out of his clothes and was about to put them on when he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
"who?"
He shouted coldly and looked back, only to see a middle-aged man in rich clothes standing outside the window, looking at him coldly.
The two were not far apart, but the other party had no intention of taking action.
The moment he saw this person, Su Chen became wary.
"Wanshou realm warrior!"
The person who came here did not hide his strength and showed the aura that should be expected in the Longevity Realm. Perhaps this was the reason why he did not take action.
If Wanshou Realm warriors still need to sneak attack against Faxiang Realm warriors, telling them would make people laugh.
"I thought you were one of those three people, but I didn't expect you to be more cunning than I thought. You are obviously a Yuanli warrior, but you actually have the aura of a Qi and Blood warrior. It seems that you have a secret." The man in gorgeous clothes He looked at Su Chen and said calmly.
After his identity was exposed, Su Chen didn't intend to hide it anymore. When he walked out of the room, he heard what the other party said.
His thoughts moved slightly and he said, "If you want to know, I can tell you."
"Oh? What are the conditions?" The man in fine clothes raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.
He saw Su Chen's attack array, but he didn't make any move.
"What's the condition? I see that you, the city lord, have a lot of secrets. How about this, how about you and I exchanging secrets? I will give you the technique of changing the breath, and you will tell me your secrets." Su Chen smiled, like It's like talking to friends.
"Haha, I have a lot of secrets, which one do you want to know?"
"The secret related to Zhu Yan!"
Su Chen said word by word while paying attention to Qian Shuang's expression.
When he saw Qian Shuang's slightly narrowed eyes, he had the answer in his heart.
Zhu Yan is indeed in the city lord's palace!
Qian Shuang also confirmed that Su Chen's identity was exactly the person he was looking for.
"Zhu Yan is indeed in the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to see him, I can take you there."
"No need, I'll do it next time."
"That's not up to you!"
Qian Shuang sneered and suddenly took action, with five fingers like hooks and reaching out to grab Su Chen like eagle claws.
The air suddenly heard bursts of explosions, and the powerful Yuan Power splashed out with the explosions, spreading overwhelmingly.
It turned into a big bloody net, sealing off Su Chen's surroundings.
This big net is powerful.
Every network cable carries unparalleled power, which not only contains the power of Yuanli and the true meaning of martial arts, but also contains the power of Dharma.
Wanshou realm warriors have integrated the law into their physical bodies, and their control over power is even more subtle.
With one simple move, Su Chen felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy.
Especially when Qian Shuang took action, a majestic power of heaven and earth trapped Su Chen.
This kind of move has always been used by him to deal with warriors of the same level. Now he is using it to deal with Su Chen, which shows how much he values Su Chen.
However, what Qian Shuang didn't know was that Su Chen once faced off against a master of the Wanshou Realm when he was at the Dharma Phase Realm without falling behind.
Facing Qian Shuang's arrogant blow, Su Chen twirled his palm, and a vast energy suddenly condensed in his palm.
As he clenched his palms tightly, Yuanli suddenly condensed together, and under extreme compression, contained terrifying energy.
All this is as fast as lightning, completed in only one hundredth of an instant.
Then Su Chen punched out, and the huge force directly hit the big bloody net, making a loud sound like a bell.
With Su Chen as the center, strong winds were set off, brewing waves of storms.
The ground where Su Chen was sitting was even more sunken, with countless cracks spreading around.
And just as the crack spread, the big bloody net was unable to withstand Su Chen's offensive and opened a big hole.
Immediately, the entire network could no longer withstand Su Chen's release of power, and disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea.
Seeing this scene, Qian Shuang's pupils, which had been confident of victory just now, suddenly tightened, and a sound of surprise came out of his mouth. (End of chapter)
