It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun was shining brightly on Tiandu City.
Outside Tiandu City, there was an endless stream of city residents coming and going, either merchants who came to rest or farmers who went out of the city to farm. There were also warriors talking loudly or people who were on their way.
On the tall city wall, the soldiers guarding the city stood upright with weapons in hand, not daring to relax at all. Under the city gate, there were also sergeants checking the people coming and going.
A large plaque with the words "Tiandu City" written on it is standing high, with the words "dragons and phoenixes" dancing on it, which is quite impressive.
Lingxiao stopped in front of the city gate on the walkway, looked around, and was sure that this was the place.
Reaching out to wipe away a few strands of sweat on his head, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "We're finally here, but I don't know if I can get this Universe Map."
It’s no wonder that Ling Xiao would think this way. The incident with Xia Yue City had caused Ling Xiao a lot of trouble before. However, the Lord of Xia Yue City had also had an affair with Emperor Qiankun. He was caught off guard and made Ling Xiao very embarrassed.
Moreover, he also owed a love debt that may not be repaid.
Immediately, Ling Xiao gave up this idea. If he could get it, he would have to go in and ask to find out. At most, he should be careful.
Without any further hesitation, Ling Xiao walked towards the city.
Looking at the constant flow of business people and the numerous restaurants and inns on the roadside, Ling Xiao could only sigh at the prosperity. Compared with Xia Yue City, it was like the sky or the earth.
The purpose of Ling Xiao's coming to Tiandu City was to get the "Picture of the Universe" among the treasures. He had obtained the Universe Compass from the owner of Xia Yue City after many twists and turns, and then he rushed to Tiandu City.
"The map of the universe is in the hands of the Lord of Tiandu City, we have to find him."
Ling Xiao secretly thought about it, and picked up a random person on the road to ask for directions to the City Lord's Mansion before setting off.
Not long after, Ling Xiao found the City Lord's Mansion in Tiandu City. He saw that the City Lord's Mansion was much larger than the one in Xia Yuecheng. Although it was not magnificent, it was still grand and powerful.
This inevitably made Ling Xiao sigh at the prosperity of this capital city.
"Drink! Who are you?"
While Ling Xiao was deep in thought, a loud shout came over him. He quickly looked up and realized that he was the guard of the City Lord's Mansion.
The leading sergeant led a few soldiers and ran towards this side quickly. They were obviously not weak warriors, full of energy and blood, and powerful.
Ling Xiao flipped his right hand, and Emperor Qiankun's talisman appeared in his hand again. He raised it high and said quietly: "I will kill your city lord!"
The sergeant also recognized the talisman in Ling Xiao's hand, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "Please follow me!"
Ling Xiao nodded in response, put the talisman in his hand back away, and followed the sergeant.
The reason why I want to show the talisman of Emperor Qiankun is to meet the city lord of Tiandu City as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I tell those soldiers "I want to see your city lord", I don't know when I can see him.
Although he suffered a loss from his boss in Xia Yue City because of this, Ling Xiao would not think that the city lord of Tiandu City had any issues with Emperor Qiankun. Otherwise, his luck would be really good!
Although the City Lord's Mansion in Tiandu City was very large, because the sergeant was familiar with the situation, he brought Ling Xiao into the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion in a short time, and then turned around to report to the City Lord.
Ling Xiao waited in the meeting hall for less than a while before meeting the lord of Tiandu City.
The city lord of Tiandu City has a square appearance, and his eyebrows reveal a sense of majesty. He also has a faint aura about him, which seems to have been developed by living in a high position for a long time.
After Tiandu City Lord came in, he spoke first without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak: "Little brother, I heard that you came here with my Wang Fuling on you. I wonder if there is something important?"
The voice was deep, deep, and vaguely majestic.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to neglect, he quickly raised his hand and directly stated his purpose: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I've met the city lord, Ling Xiao."
"I have the Qiankun Emperor Talisman on my lower body. I was entrusted by the Qiankun Emperor to take back the treasures." After a pause, Ling Xiao continued. "To be honest, I am here for the Qiankun Map in the hands of the city lord!"
"
While Ling Xiao was speaking, he had been observing the Lord of Tiandu City. When he heard him talking about the Universe Map, he suddenly frowned and felt quite uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if he could get the Universe Map.
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he asked: "I wonder if the city lord can part with me and hand over the map of the universe to me?"
Then, Ling Xiao told the story of accepting the entrustment from Emperor Qiankun, and then Ling Xiao looked at the Lord of Tiandu City.
Seeing the Lord of Tiandu City in front of him, he thought for a moment and then asked: "I wonder if you have recovered other treasures in your hands? Or are you just starting from me?"
"I have already been to Xia Yue City and took back the Qiankun Compass. City Lord, this is the second place." Just after Tiandu City Lord asked, Ling Xiao quickly replied.
However, when he said this sentence in his heart, he did not notice that when the Tiandu City Lord in front of him heard himself saying the four words "Compass of the Universe", greed flashed in his eyes, and then he was deeply hidden.
Got up.
The Lord of Tiandu laughed loudly and said loudly: "Since the Lord of Xia Yue has already handed over the Qiankun Compass, how can I hold on to the Qiankun Map?"
But he didn't know that Lord Xia Yue's Universe Compass was obtained by Ling Xiao after all his efforts. However, when he said this, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something might happen again and cause complications.
"But!" Tiandu City Lord's words changed. "Little brother, you have traveled a long distance and are covered with travel dust. Why don't you wait for me to lay down the banquet and have a good drink before handing over this map of the universe to you!"
Ling Xiao thought for a while and felt that there was no problem. Although he wanted to take the Qiankun Diagram and leave as soon as possible, the Qiankun Diagram was in the hands of the Tiandu City Lord after all, so he couldn't refuse, so he agreed immediately.
Then, the Lord of Tiandu City left. Before leaving, he asked the maid to take Ling Xiao to the guest room to rest temporarily.
After Ling Xiao was taken to the guest room, he sat down to recover the energy he had spent along the way, while thinking about whether there would be any problems this time.
…
When the sun completely sets in the west and the moon hangs high in the sky, the City Lord's Mansion is very lively.
Ling Xiao was invited out early to attend a banquet specially organized for him by the Lord of Tiandu City. Although he didn't know whether the Lord of Tiandu City was planning some conspiracy or something, he still really wanted to entertain him, but for the sake of
Qiankun Tu, Ling Xiao had no choice but to go.
It was said to be a banquet, but it was just a banquet for a few wealthy warriors from Tiandu City. Ling Xiao was focused on the picture of the universe and did not interact with them much. Instead, he kept looking forward to the banquet ending soon.
On the carved and gilded table, there were sumptuous dishes, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and fine wines and delicacies. Several people were talking loudly at the banquet. Ling Xiao just listened quietly to the side. Occasionally, someone asked questions and only responded a few words.
But in this way, Ling Xiao was regarded as a arrogant person by those people. They were obviously alienated and their attitude towards Ling Xiao was also much colder. Ling Xiao saw it in his heart, but his face was filled with anger.
He remained calm and observed the scene quietly.
"The Lord of Tiandu City doesn't know if it's really that..."
Seeing the Tiandu City Lord's enthusiasm for him, Ling Xiao also frowned secretly. He didn't think it was because of the "frank" nature of the Tiandu City Lord. Thinking about it, it was impossible. Anyone who could become the Lord of a city must be clever.
Such people are indispensable for being decisive in killing and ruthless.
Moreover, the Lord of Tiandu City managed Tiandu City so prosperously that even Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, and his methods were even more powerful.
Ling Xiao didn't think that such a person would "hate him for meeting him so late". Even if Ling Xiao was holding Emperor Qiankun's talisman, it was not enough to explain it. After all, it was just a talisman!
As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. This talisman may be useful in towns close to Emperor Qiankun, but in these places, it is nothing. After all, it is not Emperor Qiankun himself. From the matter of the Lord of Xia Yue City, it is
It can be seen.
In this way, Ling Xiao is worthy of the fact that the Lord of Tiandu City must have something in mind, but he doesn't know what he wants, so Ling Xiao can only be vigilant and vigilant, and he is attacked like he was in Xia Yuecheng.
Since the beginning of the banquet, Ling Xiao has tasted all the dishes on the table, and he has not found anything poisoned. The drinks are also normal. Even if there is, Ling Xiao is not afraid at all. With this true energy
But it can just restrain the toxicity.
The banquet ended quickly. The people invited by City Lord Tiandu seemed to realize that Ling Xiao and City Lord Tiandu had something to say, so they all left and left, making Ling Xiao very embarrassed.
"It's better now, but I don't know what he will think of it."
Ling Xiao also knew that he was too nervous just now, so he couldn't help but secretly look at Tiandu City Lord, wanting to see his reaction, but...
However, the Lord of Tiandu City seemed to have noticed nothing and still saw off the guests with a smile on his face, and Ling Xiao also went with him.
Not long after, after all the people left, the Lord of Tiandu City turned around and said to Ling Xiao: "Little brother, you are too impatient."
Ling Xiao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, but it was hard to say anything. He just said "hehe" twice with an embarrassed smile on his face.
The Lord of Tiandu City immediately said: "I promised to give you the Universe Map after the banquet, and I will not break my promise, so come with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and left. Ling Xiao quickly followed, wanting to get the Universe Map as soon as possible.
Not long after, Ling Xiao was taken outside a study room by the Tiandu City Lord. After waiting for a while, the Tiandu City Lord took out a scroll, which was the Qiankun Diagram.
Ling Xiao got the picture of the universe and didn't dare to judge whether it was true or false, but he could vaguely feel the aura similar to that of the universe compass from above, and he was filled with joy at the moment.
After thanking the Lord of Tiandu City, the two said a few polite words, and Ling Xiao returned to the guest room.
At this time, Ling Xiao was holding the scroll that the Lord of the Capital gave to him that day, with an excited look on his face.
However, it was only for a moment. Soon, Ling Xiao calmed down and looked at the scroll in his hand, which was the "Picture of the Universe" given to him by the Lord of Tiandu City.
It was beyond Ling Xiao's expectation to obtain the Universe Map so easily this time. The process of obtaining the Universe Compass was so tortuous that Ling Xiao couldn't help but doubt it!
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this Universe Map?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Ling Xiao couldn't help but frown. If this picture of the universe was fake, that would be troublesome.
Although the aura was similar to the Qiankun Compass, Ling Xiao still wanted to check it to avoid any mistakes.
"call!"
Having made up his mind, Ling Xiao moved the sunlight to the picture of the universe in his hand, and then slowly opened it!
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flew out of the Universe Diagram. The power contained in it was powerful and mysterious. Ling Xiao felt something was wrong in an instant and wanted to dodge, but the real energy in his body finally mobilized.
He took a step slower and was hit by the bright light.
A strange feeling then rose up in Ling Xiao's body. Ling Xiao felt dizzy, and the Universe Diagram in his hand fell to the ground, and then he fell into a coma.
