Chapter 8: Peach's Yaoyao
If you don't leave now, when will you wait? Xun Tian walked faster and walked down the stage.
At this time, the Lord of Dark City saw him leaving and couldn't help but ask: "The competition has just started, where are you going?"
If it were anyone else, Luo Jiuchen wouldn't even mention it, but this guy's previous performance was obvious to all, so he asked.
Unexpectedly, Xun Tian kept walking, bowed and clasped his fists as he walked, saying: "Lord City Lord, the weather is too hot today, I want to walk around."
Luo Jiuchen: "..."
In full view of everyone, Xun Tian walked off the stage of life and death like this. Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but get out of the way. After all, this guy's domineering display in the first competition was impressive.
Thanks to this residual power, Xun Tian never came back after leaving.
"This kid ran away like this?" Luo Jiuchen couldn't help but ask when he saw that Xun Tian couldn't even see his shadow.
"Back to the city lord, stepping down from the stage of life and death is equivalent to giving up. It seems that he knew that he would be besieged. If he didn't run, he would have to fight one against a hundred." A guard commander saw the city lord asking and bowed to answer.
Luo Jiuchen was relieved: "This guy is quite interesting."
Xun Tian, who had left a deep impression on everyone, was wandering on the streets of the city, wondering where he would go next. However, when he reached the end of the street, a young man walked towards him, and it was Jia Huo.
Xuntian suddenly remembered the young man who fell from the back of the Babel Python. At that time, he only knew that someone had fallen, and he didn't see who it was. Later, he went all the way to the city lord's palace and didn't pay attention.
Could it be that this guy fell off Mang's back? Or maybe he dropped it on purpose, so that Pan Yuan's daughter could not succeed? How could he appear here?
A series of questions echoed in Xun Tian's mind, but Jia Huo didn't seem to see him. Instead, he looked panicked and looked behind him from time to time.
Seeing this, Xun Tian stepped aside and stopped to check, but not long after, three city guards appeared. One of them held a portrait in his hand and asked in the street.
Xun Tian deliberately appeared out of the way, and sure enough, when the city guards saw him, they pointed at the portrait and asked, "Have you seen this man?"
Xun Tian took a closer look and saw that the portrait carved on the parchment scroll using immortal magic was lifelike. Who else could it be if it weren't Jia Huo?
Xun Tian shook his head: "I don't know him. I have never seen this person before."
The city guards did not doubt that he was there, and stopped another person to ask. Xun Tian stood in the street for a while, and his curiosity increased. What on earth did Jia Huo do that caused the city guards to search for him all over the street?
The Dark City Guards are assigned by the Celestial Empire. On the surface, they obey the Lord of Dark City, but in fact they are still under the jurisdiction of the local supervisors of the Celestial Empire. This is something everyone knows. Only the Lord of Dark City can have private weapons.
This matter quickly spread in the city. Hearing the discussion in the streets, Xun Tian finally got some clues.
It turns out that Jia Huo's father, Jia Ren, was a local inspector assigned by the Celestial Empire to the Dark City. He obtained a complete volume of the Immortal Book from an immortal ruins outside the Dark City.
into the ears of the emperor.
The emperor was so angry that it would be fine if it was a fragment of the immortal treasure book, but this is a complete immortal inheritance. Not to mention the emperor of China, even if it were placed in the entire land of China, it would cause an uproar.
The Celestial Empire has clear regulations on this. Anyone who obtains the complete inheritance of an immortal within the territory of the Celestial Empire must report it and hand over the inheritance to the state treasury. Of course, if someone is lucky enough to get a treasure book or other inheritance by himself, it is okay to practice secretly without others knowing.
, the key is that you can’t hide it at all.
Whenever a treasure book comes out, it will shake the world, especially a complete treasure book, which has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon over the years. How can it hide it from all the immortals when it breaks out of the formation?
Immortal inheritance? Complete treasure book? Xun Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this. This is definitely a rare treasure. If I become an immortal, I can let the sword soul listen to my call, so that I can kill enemies thousands of miles away, and I can control the sword.
flight.
He recalled how he met Jia Huo. He made a big fuss in Pan Yuan, and then deliberately jumped off the Babel Python. Now when he met him, he was hurriedly crossing the street.
Why was he so troubled? It wasn't until he heard someone saying that Jia Huo's father, Jia Ren, had been arrested three days ago, and the national guards had not searched Jia's house or him for the treasure book, that Xun Tian thought of a possibility.
Jia Ren probably received the news and handed the treasure book to Jia Huo in advance. Jia Huo entered Pan Garden in the name of participating in the selection of disciples of the city lord and hid the treasure book in Pan Garden.
Later, he deliberately took the risk of dropping the Heavenly Python, in order to deceive others, and secretly took away the treasure book and absconded when everyone was going to participate in the City Lord Disciple Selection Competition.
So, does he carry the treasure book with him now or does it remain in Pan Yuan?
If he had it with him, how could he show off in the market?
Thinking of this, Xun Tian asked all the way until he came to the market.
His destination was Pan Yuan, and without further delay, he had to return to Pan Yuan quickly, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with Jia Huo once the national guards captured him.
When he saw the price of riding a horse in the trading market, Xun Tian realized again that he was still a penniless pauper.
What he never expected was that one of the vendors recognized him: "Isn't this the little guy who showed his power on the stage of life and death not long ago and made all the juniors ashamed?"
Xun Tian looked at the middle-aged man who was talking to him. His burly body, dark skin, and honest face made him feel doubly fond of him.
The middle-aged man continued: "Little guy, I came back here right after you escaped from the battle. I really can't stand it without you there."
Seeing Xun Tian looking at his mount Feitianbao, the middle-aged man finally came to his senses and said, "Boy, where are you going? I happen to have nothing to do, how about you let me give you a ride?"
The middle-aged man's sincere eyes instantly infected Xun Tian, and he said honestly: "Brother, I don't have any immortal coins."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he said with a hearty smile: "It doesn't matter, you and I are destined to be together. Since you call me big brother, I will recognize you as my brother. If you encounter difficulties in the Dark City in the future, just come here to find me."
."
Xun Tian almost burst into tears after hearing this, but after all, he was a human being in two lifetimes, so he responded cheerfully: "Okay, big brother, I will never forget big brother when I get along well with my brothers."
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
Sometimes, the commitment between men is that simple.
Next, names were exchanged, and Xun Tian heard the middle-aged man's name for the first time: Di Rui.
This made Xun Tian somewhat confused. The surname Di was a noble surname. Could it be that the eldest brother had a great emperor in his ancestors?
Xun Tian later told the destination where he wanted to board, and Di Rui didn't ask any questions and took Xun Tian away in the sky.
Although the Flying Leopard is a small mount that can only carry up to five people, it is extremely fast. It arrived at the gate of Panyuan in half an hour. It happened that Pando was about to go out to do something, and the two sides bumped into each other.
Pan Duo was also a little surprised to see Xun Tian leave and come back. When Xun Tian came, he had thought of words on the way: "Uncle Pan, I stayed in Pan Yuan before. Thank you Pan family for their hospitality. Xun Tian will keep this friendship in mind, but I
I left a jade pendant when I was staying overnight. Although it is not a valuable item, it was left to me by a friend of mine before he left. It represents the sincere friendship between the two parties and also expresses my longing for my friend. I also hope that Pan
My uncle allowed me to go in and look for it. Even if I can't find it, I can only blame it on my carelessness and it has nothing to do with Pan Yuan."
Pan Duo saw that Xun Tian said he had a nose and an eye, and then he smiled and said: "Little brother, I am still very relieved. I just received a family report. I also heard about your heroic deeds at the school of the city lord's mansion. A good man will not suffer the consequences of his eyes. You
Later, it was very valuable to retreat after knowing the difficulties. As for this Panyuan hospitality place, you can come and stay at any time as long as you want, let alone such a trivial matter as looking for a jade pendant."
Xun Tian did not expect that the matter would go so smoothly, so he raised his hand and said politely: "Then it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
People in the world of cultivating immortals often say that if a great opportunity comes, a virtuous person should live there. Am I trying to outsmart him? While Xun Tian was thinking, he followed the maid Pan Yuan to the place where he stayed before.
But he walked into the courtyard that Jia Huo disliked and did not live in. The maids around him now were not the group of people who originally arranged for them to move in, so they thought it was the room where Xun Tian lived that day.
The maid stood outside the courtyard waiting for orders, while Xun Tianze came to the courtyard to check carefully. In order to cover up others' eyes, he even left his most trusted eldest brother Di Rui outside Pan Yuan.
