Chapter 60: Shadow (Part 1)

The bright moonlight passed through the shattered gaps between the treetops, and spots fell on the mottled gravel road.

Fengyuan Lane is an old alley with extremely long history in Guangyuan City. Fengyuan Lane was founded almost when Guangyuan City was first established.

Most of the people living in the alley are descendants of the first group of residents when Guangyuan was founded. They lived here for generations and witnessed the rise and fall of Guangyuan City.

As a small city, although Guangyuan City is located in the wealth of Yueguo and is second only to Lanzhou in Xinzhou, it is a relatively marginal area in Lanzhou due to its average geographical location, and it does not have a natural scenic spot like the neighboring Guanggui City, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the lake on three sides.

The original Guangyuan City was the most ordinary small town in Yue Kingdom, with no specialties or scenic spots.

This situation continued until seven or eight years ago, when the Yue Kingdom began to build roads and dig canals in various places on a large scale.

Among them, the Xianglu Grand Canal, the largest canal that runs through the north and south of the country, has been expanded on its original basis and connected with the newly built Cangnan Grand Canal.

Among them, a section of the Cangnan Grand Canal is near Guangyuan City, and it is also located near the intersection with the Xianglu Grand Canal.

When the Grand Canal was opened, the road was built. In this way, this originally ordinary small town has become one of the important nodes for gathering water and land transportation.

In a moment, countless foreign populations flooded into Guangyuan City, and the entire city was widened, and various shops and markets seemed to appear overnight.

However, today, with the ever-changing changes in the entire city, this old alley that existed at the beginning of its founding still maintains its original appearance.

"Clang, Clang, Clang!..."

Accompanied by the sound of gongs, the updater who was playing at night was as usual, walking on the quiet streets at night with sleepiness.

He did not notice that in the depths of this quiet and peaceful old alley, there were a pair of blood-red vertical pupils staring at him.

…………………………

A few hours later, two young men wearing black uniforms and embroidered with a golden falcon on their left shoulder were standing in front of an old house in Fengyuan Lane with a solemn expression on their faces.

In front of them was a corpse that could not be seen clearly, leaving only a skinny body, and only the gong and gong hammer held tightly in his hands could prove his identity.

"Brother Yuqing, do you think the devil who killed this updater and the dozen or so mortals before were the ones who were chasing him?"

Among them, a burly young man on the right asked after checking the death of his husband.

After hearing the question from his companion, the thin young man on the left frowned and finally shook his head and said:

"If we only look at the death of this updater, it is impossible to confirm whether the other party is the person pursued by the higher authorities."

"After all, even if the demonic monks in the Qi training stage kill people, the dead will also be extracted from their bodies of essence, blood and souls."

The young man who asked was stunned and then replied: "Brother Yuqing means that the only one who committed the murder this time was a little devil? But is there anyone who dared to enter my Great Cross now?"

"Brother Zhongming's words are reasonable, but it is not ruled out that an ignorant person accidentally obtained the inheritance of the devil. This kind of thing has not happened in previous years."

"Then what should we do?"

When the thin young man heard this, he touched his chin with his left hand and said, "Anyway, report this matter first. There is an order on it. Any news that may be the appearance of the devil must be reported immediately without any errors. If it is not reported, it will be that you and I have negligent duties."

"As for how to deal with the above after the report is reported, we don't need to consider it. Anyway, you'll follow the orders at that time."

"Brother Yuqing said very much, but just in case, I feel that I still need to find some foreign aid. My Qingxu Sect has several brothers stationed in the spiritual mine in Lanzhou. Brother Yuqing, look..."

The thin young man's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, if we are not lucky enough to really meet that devil, even if he is seriously injured now, he will definitely not be able to compete with me. I have more than a dozen fellow disciples in Lanzhou, and I can invite a few of them."

"As for the disciples of Qingxu Sect, please Brother Zhongming!"

"You and I are colleagues, and we have been with each other for many years, so Brother Yuqing doesn't need to be like this."

The burly young man responded with a smile, but a trace of haze flashed in the depths of his eyes.

…………………………

"Are you crazy? Don't you know that there is a branch of the Immortals in Guangyuan City? You dare to let the blood corpse go to the city to kill people?"

In a barren mountain a hundred miles east of Guangyuan City, two Taoists were sitting opposite each other. One of them was wearing a black robe and scolded another Taoist in blood robe in anger.

When the Taoist robe heard this, he was not angry, but just said in a low voice:

"Not this, are you waiting for those caravans that you pass by occasionally on the road? Yueguochi Road, the surrounding villages are patrolled by people from the Immortals every month. What is the difference between starting from these places and attacking Guangyuan City? Will you be discovered by the Immortals?"

The black-robed Taoist who was scolding before was stunned when he heard this, but he still said in a pissy voice: "No matter what, you should discuss it with me in advance!"

Hearing these words, the Taoist of Blood Robe spoke again and explained:

"Senior brother, you and me are one, so my decision is naturally impossible to harm you. Otherwise, what is the difference between harming myself?"

"Senior brother, please be content. Junior brother, I have other plans this time. If everything goes well, you and I will immediately escape from this Yue Kingdom after their injuries are recovered. Then, the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and the sea will be wide and the fish will leap. No matter how he or she is in the Immortal Session or Huangfeng Valley, what can we do to us?"

When he heard that he might recover from his injuries and flee to Yue Kingdom, an incredible look appeared on the face of the Taoist man in black robe.

"How is this possible? The injuries on you and me were left behind by Lei Wanhe, the commander of the Immortal Inspector, who was the Immortal Instrument Division. The fat man's cultivation has reached the level of fake infants. I am afraid that he will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul in a few decades. His thunder magic is extremely terrifying."

"You and I can escape from him, thanks to the mysterious escape technique of our martial arts. If you want to recover, you must at least absorb the essence, blood and souls of more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators? Now Lanzhou is full of minions of the Immortal Secretariat, where do you find more than a dozen foundation-building blood food?"

When the Taoist of Blood Robe heard the three words "Lei Wanhe", a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled sinisterly:

"Since the minions of Jixiansi want to find you, my brothers, so what's wrong with us letting them find it? As long as we are fast enough, the three commanders of Jixiansi are far away in Yuedu, what can ordinary Jidan monks do to us?"

"You are actively exposed, may you want to..."
