Chapter 537 The beginning of the chaos, the ruins of the tower!
After killing Count Zixing with one knife, Tang Zhen's figure rose into the sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that a resident of Loucheng accidentally discovered the assassinated Earl of Purple Star. At that time, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale!
Not long after, more than ten elven monks were killed, and news came one after another that the Loucheng treasure room had been stolen.
When this explosive news came out, the entire Zixing Tower City instantly fell into a state of chaos, and everyone looked panicked.
An elf count was assassinated, which was definitely a big event. In this case, even the slightest carelessness could lead to serious consequences.
At this moment, inside Zixing Tower City and the trading market, there are heavily armed Tower City monks everywhere, running around with murderous intent while catching any suspicious targets.
The mysterious young man Tang Zhen met was also involved, and was almost captured alive by the elven monks. In the end, he was able to escape successfully after losing all his strength.
After the news of Count Zixing's assassination spread to the outside world, all the main roads in the control areas of Zixing Tower City were blocked, and all people and vehicles entering and exiting were strictly checked.
In the following days, news of Count Purple Star's assassination spread throughout the Elf-controlled areas.
An elven count was assassinated. This incident was no less than an earthquake, completely shaking the entire elven race.
A hundred years ago, in the area controlled by the elves, there was a love killing against a noble. As a result, the elven nobles were collectively outraged and almost killed the assassin's race to the point of annihilation.
After this incident, the majesty of the elves was consolidated. For a hundred years, no one dared to provoke the elves easily, for fear of causing annihilation!
A hundred years later, a noble was assassinated again in the area controlled by the elves. For the elves, this incident was simply a slap in the face and a provocation.
After receiving the news, the royal court of the elves issued orders without hesitation. The entire continent issued a wanted order in an attempt to hunt down the murderer who assassinated Earl Purple Star!
In fact, the Elf Royal Court has already sensed the potential crisis, so they plan to use this matter to once again establish the majesty of the Royal Family.
As long as the murderer is caught and his race is determined, there will inevitably be another bloody massacre that is close to genocide!
In order to increase the monks' enthusiasm, the elves also offered a large bounty, attracting countless people to join the pursuit of the murderer.
Of course, there are also many people who come here for the treasures in Zixing Tower City. Compared with the bounty given by the Elf Royal Court, the treasures that were completely moved away from Zixing Tower City are the real wealth that makes people feel crazy.
!
The previous incident of Count Zixing intercepting and killing Yue Qianhua was gradually revealed. While everyone was shocked, they also began to suspect that Yue Qianhua hired a master to assassinate Count Zixing.
It was at this time that Yue Qianhua, who inherited the title, declared in public that the assassination of Earl Purple Star had nothing to do with her!
However, Count Zixing planned several assassinations of Yue Qianhua and his daughter. Even now that he has been assassinated, Yue Qianhua still asks Zixing Loucheng to give him an explanation.
Not to be outdone, Zixing Tower City immediately counterattacked, insisting that it was Yue Qianhua who sent people to assassinate Earl Zixing.
In the border area between the two buildings, after this incident, several small-scale wars broke out in succession, causing considerable casualties on both sides.
In this matter, the two tower cities refused to give in to each other and kept forming gangs to seek allies. The smell of gunpowder between them began to become stronger and stronger, and there was a possibility of a complete detonation at any time.
Because of the emergence of this incident, the situation among the elves, which was already undercurrent, became increasingly tense.
At the same time, a piece of news came from nowhere, claiming that the murderer who assassinated Count Purple Star was actually a city lord from a barbaric land with unfathomable cultivation.
This building owner's name is Tang Zhen. He was previously employed by Yue Qianhua. After the employment ended, he left the Moon God Tower City and disappeared without a trace.
It was one thing before Tang Zhen was hired by Yue Qianhua, but now it is another thing to assassinate Earl Zixing. There is no connection between them.
The reason why he assassinated Earl Zixing was firstly to retaliate for Earl Zixing's interception, and secondly for the treasure hidden in Zixing Tower City.
After this news came out, some people believed it to be true, while others scorned it, not believing that such a master could exist in the wilderness.
However, as the investigation deepened, more and more monks began to believe this statement. They continued to follow the traces of the monks from Holy Dragon City and continued to the wild lands.
Because of the existence of that astonishing wealth, the wilderness became lively again.
…
When this information spread, Tang Zhen was on his way to the ruins of Loucheng. When he heard that he was accused of being the murderer of Earl Zixing, he just sneered.
The facts turned out to be as expected, Yue Qianhua betrayed Tang Zhen and took her out of the matter.
Looking in the direction of the Moon God Tower City inadvertently, a coldness flashed in Tang Zhen's eyes.
In fact, before assassinating Earl Zixing, Tang Zhen had already anticipated the current situation, but when Yue Qianhua actually did such a thing, Tang Zhen felt a little disappointed.
This is not because Tang Zhen is being pretentious, but because he really admires Yue Qianhua, but after some things happen, many things will change accordingly.
As for identifying Tang Zhen as the assassin, Yue Qianhua could do it or not. It would be beneficial to her if she did. If she didn't, it wouldn't have much impact.
Through the fact that Tang Zhen was identified, it shows that she has got rid of her original youthfulness, began to grow up gradually, and learned to make the choice that is best for herself.
But this kind of growth is the last thing Tang Zhen wants to see. If the two of them meet again, it may be the time when swordsmen meet!
As for the revenge of the elves and the monks of various races who went to the wild lands, Tang Zhen ignored them from the beginning.
The elves are thousands of miles away from Holy Dragon City. Even if they intend to launch troops against Holy Dragon City, they have to consider whether they can afford it. At most, they will just send someone to assassinate them.
As for those foreign monks who were obsessed with money, Tang Zhen became happier the more they came, and he just happened to catch them all and work as coolies!
While thinking about the problem, Tang Zhen's team of wanderers had already crossed the dense forest and arrived near a huge ruin halfway up the hillside.
Looking at it, it turns out that the ruins are indeed old and overgrown with weeds, but they are all mottled and dilapidated.
Looking at the outline of the ruins of Loucheng, Tang Zhen could imagine what it looked like when it was once glorious.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful it was in the past, it has become history now, and the residents of Loucheng who lived here have been reduced to nothing but ashes, with no one to pay their respects.
Looking around, there are many small second-level monsters wandering around the ruins, which look like giant mutant cockroaches.
After the wanderers worked together to kill it, they quickly entered the ruins and began to rummage among the bricks and rubble for useful items.
Tang Zhen mingled among these wanderers, walking slowly among the huge ruins, trying to find what he wanted.
Among the books he purchased earlier, he found a diary, which recorded a piece of information that interested him.
The owner of this diary once witnessed a meteorite shower, and later picked up several meteorites at the scene. After smelting, he obtained a metal with a unique pattern.
The owner of the diary stubbornly believed that this metal must have a special function, but due to limited conditions, he could not prove its extraordinary properties!
In the diary, the magician recorded the appearance and characteristics of this metal in detail, making Tang Zhen 90% sure that this was the main material for making storage equipment after reading it!
It was precisely because of seeing this record that Tang Zhen made a special trip here to see if he could gain anything.
It's just that the ruins under his feet have existed for many years, and have been searched by countless wanderers during this period. Tang Zhen's hope of finding what he needs is actually extremely slim.
However, Tang Zhen still wanted to try to find it. If he could get it together, it would be a worthwhile trip!
Facts have proved that Tang Zhen was overthinking. After all, this was information recorded hundreds of years ago, and no one knew what hardships he had experienced during that period. Now trying to find a few pieces of metal in a ruin is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
After spending most of the day in the ruins, Tang Zhen found nothing and could only give up his plan to continue searching.
But just as he was about to leave the ruins, several children playing with their parents suddenly caught his attention.
Especially when Tang Zhen saw what the child was wearing around his neck, his eyes suddenly lit up!
