At this time, the gates of Yancheng have begun to prepare to close. Generally, this time is considered a very prosperous and lively time in Yancheng. It is just different from the day when trading venues are popular, from the time of dusk until the late night curfew.
, is a concentrated expression of the prosperity on the other side of Yancheng.
Restaurants, gambling houses, brothels, and those shady underground auctions and transactions are all held at this time. It seems that all major cities have a tacit understanding with each other, that is, after the city gates are closed until before the curfew, the entire city is in a certain angle
Go and see that it has been handed over to the underground order to manage.
The side street where Zuojia Village is located is now extremely quiet. Not only this street, but also the surrounding streets seem to have no pedestrians daring to approach. This strange phenomenon makes the people living in these streets feel uneasy.
They were very vigilant and consciously stayed in their own homes, not even daring to think about sticking their heads out to take a look.
Although everyone didn't know what happened, the vision just now was too terrifying. Now that the vision has passed, the atmosphere here has become even more weird and depressing.
The mysterious old woman raised her somewhat cloudy old eyes and glanced around the darkness. As her gaze swept around, the men in black lurking in the shadows couldn't help but tremble slightly.
For warriors at their level, especially the "Shadow Guards" who are responsible for gathering intelligence, they will naturally feel a sense of fear towards those who are much stronger than themselves.
If this kind of fear were normal, they would immediately choose to give up the mission and leave, but the current situation is that they are in their own territory, and the dignity of the strong that they have developed over the years does not allow them to just run away with their tail between their legs. Moreover,
The strict order issued by their master this time must be thoroughly investigated, and they must stay to figure out the vision of heaven and earth just now.
The last reason is also the most important reason. The moment they met the old woman's eyes from the dark, they knew that in front of this expert, escaping was a joke. Why not stay calmly and maybe get some help?
Make a good impression on the other party.
"Senior, on the order of the Lord of the City, we came here to check out the strange phenomenon that just happened here. If you know about it, I hope... I hope you can tell the truth."
As a deep voice sounded, a man in black walked out of the corner where he was hiding. Even so, he still chose to stand in the shadows where the light could not reach and speak. It was impossible to judge the man in black from his figure and voice.
A person's age, gender, and even his exact height, body shape and weight all give people a feeling that is difficult to grasp.
He didn't speak loudly, and hesitated slightly at the end, but chose to bite the bullet and ask the old man in front of him about the reason for the strange phenomenon just now. Although he knew that there were shadow guards from several forces around him here to investigate.
, but this is not the time to argue with those people.
The old woman casually glanced at the shadow guard who was speaking from the corner of her eye. She did not answer him directly, but seemed to say to the air: "You all want to know the cause of this vision?"
The old woman's voice seemed to have changed a little compared to when she entered the city. She was just a little impatient when facing the city gate guards. But when he saw the group of shadow guards in front of him, her attitude became obviously cold.
It's hard, and there's even a trace of disgust seeping out of it.
"Hmm...?" The old woman saw that no one answered her question, and besides the person in front of her, the other Shadow Guards were still lurking in their original places motionless.
The old woman raised her head slightly and glanced into the void, and then a huge mental wave spread out in all directions. If Zuo Feng were here, he would have noticed that this powerful mental wave was actually the same as what he released when he used his mind sea to explore.
The energy produced was exactly the same. This old woman who seemed to be in her final years turned out to be a legendary master who broke through the Qi refining stage and could truly use Nian Hai.
Under such strong mental pressure, the shadow guards lurking around felt as if they were under heavy pressure from all directions. It felt as if their life was like a small flame in the wind and rain, which could be extinguished anytime and anywhere.
.
The old woman, who was releasing such strong mental pressure, had a calm expression on her face, her eyes seemed to be staring into the dark void without focus. Her lips moved slightly and she sighed: "Since you don't want to show up to meet each other, that's fine..."
"
The old woman spoke very slowly, and when she reached the end, she paused briefly. When she was about to continue speaking, six figures wrapped in black clothes staggered out of their hiding corners.
, as if someone was chasing him from behind. He looked very embarrassed.
The man in black who appeared first was also secretly wiping a cold sweat at this moment. He was extremely grateful for the choice he had just made. If he had resisted like these people until now, I am afraid he would be in such a mess.
He was slightly aware of the mental fluctuations just now, but the old woman did not put herself among the targets of the attack. So he just seemed to be standing on an isolated island in the stormy waves, watching the other people as if they were small boats that could be overturned at any time.
Although he couldn't feel the pain personally, the feeling of death that could kill him at any moment seemed to pass by against his skin.
Looking at the two men in black behind him, it can be seen from the hiding positions of these six men in black that the two men behind him are in the same camp as him, and the other four men in black have two groups with different scores.
power.
He only cares about the two people on his side. It can be seen that the two men in black are soaked in sweat at this time. Their bodies are shaking and they are panting continuously. It can be seen that they are weak at this time. The look in their eyes
There was a hint of panic. He shook his head slightly at his companion who was looking at him, indicating that the two of them were fine.
"Senior, we were rude just now. I hope you'll forgive us. I hope that for the sake of Commander Zuo, you won't let us have any issues with you."
"Senior, the two of us just had a fluke, hoping to see the right commander..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old woman had already stretched out her hand to Void and shook it, indicating that they should stop talking. The old woman had been looking towards Void since these people appeared, and did not pay attention to these people at all.
said something.
In fact, several of them were a little confused as to why the old woman ignored them when she forced them to show up. But if Zuo Feng were here, he would be able to sense that the old woman was spreading her telepathy to the surroundings.
When she went out, the old woman's telepathy centered on herself, almost covering the entire Yancheng.
And the most terrifying thing is that her telepathy can ignore buildings and even carefully inspect some underground dark rooms. This ability is not unreasonable, and even overbearing is a bit too perverted.
The old woman forced several shadow guards from the dark place and left them there without paying attention. It was not because they lurking in the dark place would have any impact on her investigation. It was just that she personally hated these rat-like people.
The feeling of secretly spying on herself. Now that she had driven these rats out into the open, she began to investigate with peace of mind.
The old woman's telescopic exploration was almost as pervasive as mercury pouring down the ground, but not all locations could be explored.
For example, the city lord's palace, the commander's palace and several large shops and exchanges all have special secret rooms or practice rooms. Her mind power cannot penetrate into them for inspection. Those built with special magnets also called magnetic spiritual stones.
A secret room, or a secret room built with a certain amount of magnetic spiritual stones in the walls, can block the exploration of telekinesis.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the old man slowly withdrew her gaze into the void. A hint of anger could be seen in her eyes, which was just an undetectable flicker. With her cultivation level and her skills in this place,
In the long history of this world, this kind of outward anger has been very rare to see.
He looked at the group of shadow guards dressed in black again, and said in a plain voice: "Go back and tell your master that everything here is not something your master can touch."
At this point, she paused slightly, and then spoke again: "If you want to live a long time, it's best not to get involved in this matter. This is my advice for the sake of that old friend of your empire, listen to it or not...
...Whatever, you can go."
There was a hint of irresistible majesty in the old man's words. The Shadow Guard, who was the first to appear and claimed to be from the city lord's palace, took the two people behind him, clasped his fists and bowed deeply before turning around and leaving without looking back.
The two men in black who had previously claimed to be the right commander were a little reluctant and wanted to ask a few more questions. But when their eyes fell on the old woman in the long street, they both couldn't help but shudder.
He swallowed the words that were on his lips again, bowed and saluted like the three before him, then turned around and left like flying.
The last two men in black who were left behind were the two shadow guards who previously claimed to be Commander Zuo and Commander Zhang Yu. These two people also wanted to leave immediately, but they remembered what Zhang Yu said before they left.
With his serious expression and his usual method of dealing with failure to complete a task, the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay at the end.
The old woman didn't look at them again, she just said lightly: "Is there anything else?"
The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in their eyes. Finally, one of them seemed to grit his teeth and said: "Old senior, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but the vision is still there..."
The old woman didn't wait for the two of them to finish what they said, and her brows were already deeply furrowed. The thunderous shout of "Go away!" seemed to explode in their minds, causing their eyes, ears, mouths and noses to spurt blood.
Howling miserably, he staggered away.
About a quarter of an hour later, in the stone room of the city lord's palace, a middle-aged man sat on the stone bed and listened to his shadow guard finish telling the story about the mysterious old woman. He also thought of the hand-held man whom the leader of the city guard just talked about.
He already had some guesses about the identity of the old woman from the Black Fantasy Stone.
After listening to the report, he slowly closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Tell everyone in the City Lord's Mansion not to mess with that old woman. If she has any requests, we will do everything possible to satisfy her."
