The Crescent Empire is a relatively new country, founded only a thousand years ago, so the Crescent Empire is not as rich and prosperous as the south.
According to rumors, the emperor of the Crescent Empire was a northerner, a hero among the nomadic people, and a great master of cultivation, a master of the ninth level of calamity.
For unknown reasons, he established the Crescent Empire, and many people responded to his call. Then many people of insight began to join him. It is even said that he had contacts with a big country in the outer world and received support from that big country.
The capital city of the Crescent Empire is also very large, and the city walls are also very high. However, the curfew time of this city is midnight, that is, before midnight, the city gates are not closed. The city gates are only closed after the curfew.
When Chu Bai and Zhou Shuyu entered the capital, they were greeted by a woman. The woman was dressed up in a gorgeous dress. When she saw Zhou Shuyu, she clung to him and giggled non-stop.
Chu Bai found that this woman looked like a prostitute, wearing heavy makeup, frivolous behavior, and even flirting with some familiar people from time to time when she walked on the street.
And sure enough, not long after being led away by the woman, they arrived at a brothel. This woman turned out to be the mother of the brothel.
However, after entering the brothel, the madam took them directly to the back door.
"Sir, Mr. Pavilion." At the back door, the woman put away her smile, put away her licentiousness, and bowed to show her goodwill.
"Well, you know what to do, right?" Zhou Shuyu nodded.
"Yes, sir, I will meet you outside, and Mother Wei will also take care of you at your home." The woman said with a hint of heaviness.
"Okay, let's go, just take us there, and be careful to protect yourself." After Zhou Shuyu glanced at Chu Bai, he immediately walked out of the back door, and Chu Bai followed again.
Furthermore, when the woman waved her hands, she was wrapped in a black robe and put on a mask. Also, Chu Bai was unable to see through this woman's cultivation.
In other words, this woman used a secret method to hide all her cultivation, so that even he couldn't see through it.
After a while, the three of them came to a high wall and were hidden in the darkness.
"Sir, this is the Imperial Guard Camp. Meng Gong is imprisoned underground in the camp. As for how many masters there are, I don't know. There are people above to help. Please be careful."
When Zhou Shuyu tapped his forehead and toes, he climbed up the high wall silently.
Chu Bai glanced at the woman and gave her a smile before following Zhou Shuyu.
On top of the high wall, Zhou Shuyu was not standing, but lying on it. And just to his side, there was also a sergeant standing with a sword, carrying out his duties meticulously.
When Chu Bai saw this scene, he couldn't help but be surprised. This spy of the Summer Empire was too powerful, wasn't it? He had penetrated everywhere?
"It seems that some of Meng Gong's secret notes should be the spy list. This thing must be obtained." Chu Bai decided secretly.
"Okay, let's go."
I didn't see Zhou Shuyu and the sergeant communicating face-to-face, but the two must have used their spiritual consciousness to communicate, but I didn't know what they were talking about.
Zhou Shuyu seemed to have been here before, and he managed to avoid many hidden sentries, and went outside the back camp prison as if he were on a familiar road.
There are three floors outside the dungeon that are guarded. If outsiders want to attack, they have to attack by force. And what is the Guards Camp? That is the Guards Camp of the Crescent Empire Guards. There must be endless masters here.
Also, Chu Bai knew that this must be a trap. Maybe Meng Gong was really in the dungeon, but there must be an elder from the Crescent Empire waiting for them.
"Kill." Without much communication, Zhou Shuyu seemed to have come with the intention of dying. When he yelled "kill," he had already rushed into the crowd.
Chu Bai had no choice but to smile bitterly. He suddenly felt that Zhou Shuyu might be a legendary death warrior this time, and he was not afraid of death at all.
But just to show off, he rushed into the crowd.
The guards outside the dungeon were not very skilled. Under the sneak attack of the two tribulation monks, they collapsed in an instant, and then the two rushed into the dungeon.
And at the same time that they rushed in, a large number of sergeants began to gather towards the dungeon, including the sergeant on the high wall.
What surprised Chu Bai and Zhou Shuyu was that there were no masters in the dungeon to stop them, not even the prison feet.
Chu Bai had known for a long time that he had been fooled, and Zhou Shuyu seemed to have known it for a long time, but neither of them retreated, but continued to go deeper inside.
Finally, after walking only a few dozen meters, the two of them saw an old man in a cage with his hands and feet bound with chains.
The old man was wearing white blood-stained underwear, with a messy beard and long hair, but sitting there gave people a mountain-like pressure. Moreover, Chu Bai unexpectedly discovered that the old man had no cultivation at all and was an ordinary person.
It can be said that he is a civil servant!
"Shuyu, you're here!" The old man was undoubtedly Meng Gong, and he also recognized Zhou Shuyu.
"Meng Gong." Zhou Shuyu split open the iron door with one palm, walked up to Meng Gong, cupped his fists and bowed.
"Okay, okay, give me an empty jade slip." Meng Gong said, stroking his beard and asking for the jade slip.
Chu Bai took a deep breath at this moment. This Meng Gong turned out to be a wise man. He might have guessed that Zhou Shuyu and he were not here to save him, but to kill him. However, he did not complain at all. On the contrary, he
Take the time to tell them the list of spies you know.
But why doesn't the enemy use soul searching to find out the secrets he knows?
With a "pop" sound, after taking the jade slip, Meng Gong slapped his heavenly spirit, and then a wave of spiritual power came out.
This old man also has some cultivation, because this kind of spiritual power fluctuation is unique to monks, but it seems that his cultivation is not high, and he only has the aura of Jindan cultivation.
What's more, his skill in shooting is also very special, and it seems to have stimulated his own potential.
He was holding the jade slip in his hand, his whole body was shaking, and the jade slip was constantly flashing ripples.
After about three minutes, Meng Gong's anger was released, and his whole body seemed to have lost weight. It shriveled up quickly, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then slumped to the ground.
But his eyes were still bright and shining.
"It's all here, including my last words. You can do it." Meng Gong said with a smile.
After Zhou Shuyu bowed to Duke Meng again, he glanced sideways at Chu Bai, indicating that Chu Bai was here to take action.
At this time, Chu Bai really didn't want to kill such a wise man, who could be said to be a kind of loyal and righteous person. He felt guilty for killing such a person.
But he also knows that this person cannot be used by himself. He has been washed away from the country. There is only the country in his head, only his own king, and nothing else!
"Meng Gong, let's go." Chu Bai took a step forward, flipped his hand and clapped his hand, sending out a burst of energy, which was printed directly on Meng Gong's heart.
"Bang!" Meng Gong's heart was broken and he died immediately, but he was a madman because he was still laughing when he died.
"Hahaha, very good, really good." At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came, and then a person appeared out of thin air outside the cage. This person was wearing a bright red brocade robe and cloud boots.
, wearing a yin-yang hat on his head, looking about forty years old, with a golden sword on his waist.
"Ninth Level of Tribulation!" Chu Bai and Zhou Shuyu were stunned at the same time, but then, Zhou Shuyu shouted: "Stop him for two breaths!"
With a "whoosh" sound, Zhou Shuyu rushed out as soon as he finished speaking.
What was strange was that the middle-aged monk who had reached the ninth level of Tribulation did not stop Zhou Shuyu. Instead, he looked at Chu Bai with interest and said with a smile: "The new Summer Pavilion elder? Lin En?"
"They are asking you to die, what do you think? Are you interested in joining our Crescent Empire?"
"I'm a little interested, but I want to go up and see what Zhou Shuyu wants to do!" This is also the doubt in Chu Bai's heart. He really doesn't understand why Zhou Shuyu came with him, and it seems that he can't run out.
, but he got the spy jade slip, so he wanted to see what Zhou Shuyu did.
"Okay, let's go together then. Master Lin invites you." The middle-aged monk made a faint gesture of invitation and asked Chu Bai to go first.
Chu Bai nodded, the New Moon Empire is not as simple as it appears.
However, just when Chu Bai and the middle-aged monk took a step forward, suddenly, a loud noise was heard from above the dungeon, and then the entire dungeon began to shake, and then collapsed with a loud bang.
"Damn it." The middle-aged monk was shocked, as if something unexpected happened to him. When he cursed "damn it," his whole body broke through the soil and rushed outward.
Chu Bai also rushed out.
However, when the two rushed to the ground, the ground was in a mess. Broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere. A few survivors were wailing. All nearby houses had collapsed, and even the high wall had been flattened.
At this time, six people, six masters of transcending tribulations with blood on their bodies and faces, ran over, surrounded Chu Bai and the middle-aged monks, and one of them said in a deep voice: "Elder brother, he blew himself up after he came up.
!”
"Dead warrior, how could he blow himself up? Why would he do this? If he blew himself up, wouldn't the jade slips also turn into ashes?" the middle-aged monk asked in confusion.
At this time, Chu Bai couldn't help but feel dumb. That Zhou Shuyu came to die, and he blew himself up without even being beaten? Why did he do this?
"No, no!" Chu Bai's eyes condensed, and then a flash of light flashed, because he saw another person, a person whose legs were blown away, a person who was being rescued, and this person
This person is the sergeant on the high wall before!
He is not dead, he is wailing, and people from the Crescent Empire are still saving him, which means that he has not been exposed.
"Yes, yes!" Chu Bai suddenly realized that Zhou Shuyu knew that he would die, and at the moment of self-destruction, he could wrap the jade slip with real energy and send his own flesh and blood out, that is, to the sergeant.
, then the sergeant hid the jade slip, and then after the sergeant was rescued, he transferred the jade slip to the madam of the brothel.
This was a situation where death was inevitable, and it was also a 'game' seeking danger from danger. It was a game made by the senior officials of the Summer Empire, and he knew that he was just a part of this game, a... a ghost who wanted to die.
.
That's right, those people just asked him to die. He is not the main character, just a foil.
