The painter's residence within this vast area occupies a good location. This is of course related to the painter's strong strength when the Xuanwu Empire was at its peak.
In the painter's mansion, of course, there are also cells specially built to hold prisoners. Unlike the cells in general cities that are under the jurisdiction of the city lord, the painter's cell is generally a place where the family uses lynching and is not subject to the orders of the city lord.
Now Zuo Feng, Hu Bo and Tang Bin, as well as three others, are being held in a rather spacious cell.
Zuo Feng was sitting alone in the corner, subconsciously stroking a slightly raised bump on the edge of his palm. There was a nanocrystal embedded in his flesh, which was Zuo Feng's biggest asset to being able to remain calm and calm now.
The four of them had made full preparations before entering the city, but they did not expect that they would still get into trouble. In fact, Amber's double spears were only one of the reasons. He and the others were purely new faces here, and they could not provide any proof.
An object of identity, this is the fundamental reason why he was captured.
However, a few people had made some preparations before entering the city. With their modified special bodies and deliberately hiding their cultivation, they appeared to be just ordinary warriors in the late stage of bone refining.
Even if a warrior with this kind of strength is placed in an ordinary small family, he is almost at the bottom of the hierarchy, so naturally he will not be taken seriously by anyone.
However, some items on several people's bodies attracted the attention of the city guards. The first was Amber's two artifact-level spears, and the other were two high-grade crystal storage rings. Even an idiot knew that these things should not appear in front of them.
On several people.
In response to repeated questioning by the city guards, the four of them always agreed on the same story, insisting that they were people who escaped after being attacked by ferocious beasts in the Hollow Land. Of course, Ikari's background is from the Gaya tribe, Tang Bin, Amber and
Zuo Feng is an important follower of the Lord of Ju City.
There has been chaos in the Skyfall Land for more than ten days. Calculating the time, if the Nether Clan had escaped when they first launched the attack, it would not be a surprise to arrive at Kuocheng now. However, the chaos in the Skyfall Land was terrible, let alone Ikari.
His identity cannot be verified, and even the identities of Zuo Feng and others cannot be proven.
What Zuo Feng and others didn't expect was that just because their identities could not be proven, several people were imprisoned directly, and all their valuable belongings were taken away. Of course, this included Amber's double spears and Zuo Hu's two people.
A top quality crystal storage ring.
Fortunately, the high-grade crystal storage ring contains the warrior's own spiritual imprint. Unless one reaches the stage of refining the spirit and transforms his mental power into telekinesis, there is no way to break the imprint in the ring and take out the contents.
But even so, Zuo Feng still transferred some of his important items directly into the Najing. This is the safest place where the other party cannot search them away no matter what.
Just at this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the cell door. Amber and Tang Bin immediately returned to Zuo Feng and sat down against the wall pretending to be nonchalant.
Then I saw several warriors outside the cell door opening several cells and taking out a dozen people. After locking the cell door again, they escorted the dozen people out of the cell.
It wasn't until the footsteps outside completely disappeared that Zuo Feng raised his head and glanced at the person on the other side who was being taken away. Then the remaining two people whispered: "What are the identities of those two guys? Can you find out the details?"
Amber nodded, but Tang Bin shook his head. The two looked at each other, and Amber took the lead and said: "The guy who was just taken away should belong to a strong man from a medium-sized family like the Kang family. He came to Kuocheng."
The original purpose should be to help the family get a share of the pie, but the specific identity was not revealed.
The man who stayed behind was the one who escaped successfully and then fled here after the accident happened in Zecheng. Although he did not want to reveal his name, he should be an ordinary city guard among the Zecheng City Guards.
I asked sideways, and he knew what happened when you rescued me in Zecheng before, so it can prove that what he said is true."
Tang Bin said: "The identity of the person I asked is very suspicious. According to what he said, after the accident in Guanmen City, his village was attacked, and then he fled here in a panic, but he didn't know anything about the situation in Guanmen City. Obviously
It’s to hide something more important.”
"What's that boy's name?" Zuo Feng couldn't help but ask.
"He said his name is Mu Xiu. Wood means wood, rest means Xiu." Tang Bin explained the two words carefully, and it seemed that the other party was also very detailed in his introduction.
Full of questions, Zuo Feng couldn't help but ask again: "The cultivation of these two people should be hidden. Did you detect their true strength when you just got close?"
"The peak of the tempering period." Amber said.
"That Mu Xiu looks like he is at level 4 or 5 in the middle of the Qi-sensing period!" Tang Bin said with great certainty.
Zuo Feng nodded, and inadvertently looked at the man named Mu Xiu. He was in his mid-twenties, and his appearance looked a bit dull. But behind that dull look, he always gave people a kind of dull look.
The taste hidden under the mask.
"This kid is indeed not simple, and the secrets he hides are definitely not small. It seems that we need to start with him, and maybe we can get some unexpected gains." Zuo Feng pinched his sore forehead and said softly.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Amber couldn't help but ask.
Zuo Feng raised his chin and pointed at the man who had just chatted with Amber, and said: "That boy is too annoying, let him sleep for a while, and then let me talk to Mu Xiu to find out what this guy's background is."
"We need to control these two guys and not attract the attention of people outside and other cells." Amber touched his chin and said with a slight embarrassment.
Zuo Feng smiled and turned to look at Tang Bin and said, "What's so difficult about this? We, the masters of Tang Dynasty, can easily catch these two guys with some tricks."
Tang Bin, who couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said: "The city lord is in a good mood and is still interested in joking with me here. I don't know what Ikari's situation is now."
Amber and Zuo Feng turned their heads together, looked at Tang Bin with some surprise, and said at the same time in surprise: "You actually like Ikari?"
Tang Bin's old face was slightly red and he didn't answer the call at all, because these two guys were obviously teasing him deliberately, and if he answered the call, it would be even more endless.
Standing up and walking towards the two people opposite, the unknown warrior looked curious, but the warrior named Mu Xiu's face tightened slightly.
Feeling the subtle changes in the spiritual energy in Mu Xiu's body, Tang Bin smiled secretly in his heart and said in a calm tone: "Hey, one of the people just taken away is a friend of mine. Do you know where they will be taken?
"
Hearing this question, both of them relaxed for a moment almost subconsciously, but the warrior named Mu Xiu immediately regained his vigilance.
‘There is indeed something wrong with this boy. I never expected that the city lord would have such vicious eyesight at such a young age!’ As he sighed in his heart, Tang Bin was already approaching the two of them and naturally squatted down, as if he was planning to have a cordial conversation.
At the moment when his body was halfway squatting, Tang Bin's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and the aura around him also burst out instantly.
The unknown warrior's true cultivation was only at the peak of the tendon-tempering stage, which was so different from Tang Bin that he passed out without any feeling at all. He was not even aware of Tang Bin's attack.
Mu Xiu, on the other hand, reacted immediately. He leaned his upper body backwards, opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to shout. But no sound came out, and his frightened face stiffened, and then his body fell limply.
He collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones.
Zuo Feng and Amber had slowly stood up and walked over. When they came behind Tang Bin, Zuo Feng smiled and raised his hand and patted the former's shoulder gently. Amber praised approvingly: "A master is a master.
I think you haven’t even shown half of your strength.”
Without answering Hu Hu's words, Tang Bin asked directly: "What to do next? This Mu Xiu shouldn't be simple either. I'm afraid a simple interrogation won't have much effect on him."
"Hehe" smiled, Amber said from the side: "You don't have to worry about this, you have to see the methods of our city lord again."
Taking a deep breath, Zuo Feng put away the smile on his face, and when he opened his palm, a thin crystal-like needle appeared. Amber had seen it before and just looked at it with a smile, but Tang Bin showed doubts, but
He didn't ask any questions, just quietly observing from the sidelines.
That crystal-like thin needle is the soul needle. When I first obtained the corpse puppet from the Puppet Spirit Sect, I also got the soul needle to control the corpse puppet.
Zuo Feng held the soul needle with both hands, and strands of thought power surged out from the sea of thoughts and poured into the soul needle. Tang Bin had reached the fourth level of the cultivation stage, and his perception of spiritual power was very keen and he couldn't bear it.
Zhu glanced at Zuo Feng in surprise and muttered in a low voice: "What a powerful mental power!"
He gently turned Mu Xiu's body over, and then the soul needle accurately pierced the Jade Pillow point on the back of the opponent's head. Mu Xiu's body twitched subconsciously, but he did not make any sound.
Zuo Feng's eyes were closed tightly, as if an old monk was in trance. Only Amber and Tang Bin who were close could clearly feel the surging mental power fluctuations emanating from Zuo Feng's fingertips occasionally.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zuo Feng's eyes suddenly opened. His originally calm face gradually became serious, but his eyes were staring coldly at the lying body of Mu Xiu with a gleam of coldness.
"How is it? Do you know his true identity?" Amber asked impatiently.
Nodding slightly, Zuo Feng did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he lifted the unconscious two people up and leaned against the corner. After assuming a posture of meditating with their eyes closed, Zuo Feng made a gesture and returned to the previous corner.
Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Zuo Feng first sighed heavily, and then said: "I didn't expect that the situation in Kuocheng is so serious. If we had known that it would be like this, we might as well take a long way around to avoid this place."
"Then let's find a way to leave the city as soon as possible now?" Tang Bin couldn't help but remind him.
Zuo Feng shook his head and said: "It's difficult. With our current strength, it's not easy to save our lives in this vast city, not to mention those two girls who need help."
After a short pause, he looked outside along the skylight on the top of the cell, and said in a hoarse voice: "If this guy's information is correct, I noticed before that the strong man in the painter's lobby should be one of the Five Tigers of Painters.
