Chapter 228 The news of death spread throughout the Three Kingdoms
Lingjian's side fell silent, and after a while, Feng Shiming's voice sounded again: "Well, as long as you're fine."
The tone seemed calm, but the subtle trembling revealed the old man's uneasy mood at the moment.
But he was the lord of a city after all, and he quickly regained his composure: "Where are you now? I will send someone to pick you up."
"There's no rush. Grandpa, let's talk to us about the current situation first. Why do you think we are dead? What happened outside during the time we were unconscious?" Chu Ran asked in a deep voice.
Feng Shiming didn't hide it from her either.
"Three days ago, all the people who went to Qingfu Island came back. They brought back a message that no one passed the trial this time. All the contestants, except Chu Qianyun, Ouyang Yuhan, and Huangfu from Jin State,
Apart from the three people tomorrow night, only Chen Jiaojiao from Zhou Kingdom escaped from the secret realm and survived, while the others all died in the secret realm with no bones left."
"I didn't believe it at first, but I asked the six sects and they gave the same answer. Then I used magic insects to try to find your breath, but your breath disappeared after Qingfu Island. Ling Jian
Since there was no response, I thought..."
He paused suddenly and did not continue, but said: "Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. You are all fine."
The demonic insects did not find their aura, probably because of the magic circle outside the other courtyard.
They came directly from the teleportation array. The aura is only found inside and cannot be found outside.
The reason for summoning the spirit slips is because they have been in a coma until today, so naturally they cannot use the spirit slips.
"So, the news that we were buried in the secret realm has now spread throughout the Three Kingdoms?" Chu Ran's expression changed, "Oh no! Grandpa, I have something urgent to do, and I will contact you later."
After saying this, she took back the slip.
"Fire Qilin."
The powerful aura of the fourth-level monster enveloped the entire courtyard.
His body was huge, and the flames blazing from his body lit up the sky red, and also attracted the attention of countless people in the city.
"Demon... Demonic Beast!"
"Quickly notify the defenders! There is a monster in the city!"
"Run quickly! The monster is coming!"
…
The peaceful border town suddenly fell into panic.
The defenders stationed inside and outside the city rushed over as soon as they received the news.
At this time, the magic circle outside the courtyard has been lifted, and the terrifying monster has disappeared. Only the hot temperature remaining in the air silently tells the fact that it has been here.
"Where are the monsters?" The leader of the defenders clenched his weapon, looking on guard, not daring to relax at all.
"It's gone." A figure slowly walked out of the door.
The first person was surprised, but when he saw who the figure was, surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Third Prince!!!"
Cang Yunlin nodded indifferently, looking past him to the east.
There is nothing there except a red sun.
But he knew that this was where Miss Chu left not long ago.
Three days later, above the Imperial City of Jin, a bright red stream of light passed across the sky, and a huge shadow on the ground disappeared in a flash.
Countless people raised their heads: "It seemed like something flew past just now."
"Why do I feel like it's getting hot all of a sudden?"
"A sudden change in the sky is a very bad sign."
"Does this mean that there is going to be a fight in the Chu Mansion?"
"Is it possible that Chu Ran and the others are not the first seven today? According to our rules, the first seven have to be buried in a coffin. Judging from the intentions of the court these days, I am afraid they will not let Chu Ran be buried so easily."
"The Chu Mansion is pretty good. There are people protecting them, and the court doesn't dare to mess around. The Zhou family is the number one rune family in Jin, and the court doesn't dare to touch them. The same goes for the Medicine Sect. They only pity the Chen family, little one.
People from humble backgrounds have become targets for those people to vent their anger."
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell over the heads of the people who were speaking.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a ferocious beast that covered the sky and the sun, and was covered in fire, hovering over him.
"Ah!" The people's feet softened and they fell to the ground.
Warcraft! It’s Warcraft!
He was so frightened that he completely lost his voice and his whole body was shaking as if he had had a stroke.
"You were talking about the Chen family just now." A blue figure jumped down from the back of the monster, "Which Chen family is it?"
"That...that's Chu Ran! I've seen her before, she is Chu Ran!" The people nearby who were frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster suddenly came back to their senses and pointed at the girl and shouted loudly.
When the others heard this, they immediately forgot their fear and all their eyes fell on Chu Ran's face.
"It's really her!"
"There are people sitting on the back of the monster! They are the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family! And the concubine of the Cang family!"
"Isn't that a boy from the Chen family?"
More and more people are recognizing them.
Chu Ran didn't respond, and his sharp eyes stared at the person in front of him: "I'm asking you, which Chen family it is!"
Just now, she accidentally heard the words floating from below, so she temporarily turned around and stopped.
The common people trembled and said hurriedly: "It's... the family of the only poor boy who won the imperial city trial, Chen Xiaosheng!"
Zhou Yuxue and others subconsciously looked at Chen Xiaosheng.
His expression suddenly changed: "What's wrong with my family!"
"... When they found out that you were dead, many people came to the Chen family to cause trouble for them. They even burned down the Chen family's house and took the people away, saying that you had killed the legitimate son of the Cang family and killed
The prince of the dynasty wants to kill the nine tribes..." The people trembled and told everything they knew.
Sure enough, something happened!
Chu Ran's expression was extremely ugly, and there was a look of solemnity between his brows.
"Took it somewhere!"
"I don't know! I really don't know!" the people cried.
Chu Ran knew very well who had enemies with them, but she was not sure who actually captured the Chen family.
If you use tracking charms or demonic insects, you must first sense the aura of the Chen family.
But the Chen family's house has been destroyed. It is not only difficult to collect the breath, but also extremely time-consuming.
Compared to this method, there is a faster method!
Chu Ran flew onto the back of the fire unicorn: "Let's go!"
The fire unicorn raised its head and roared, its huge body turned into a red lightning, and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Half an hour later, the palace.
A black shadow quickly flew into the imperial study and knelt on one knee in front of the emperor's dragon case.
This person is none other than An Yi, the head of the royal family's secret guards.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have just received news from outside the palace, Chu Ran..."
"Bang!"
The hall suddenly trembled violently, and the next moment, the splendid eaves were chopped into pieces by a sharp sword energy.
A strong wind roared in, and tables, chairs, wooden cabinets, and utensils and furnishings were all knocked to the ground by the wind.
"Your Majesty!" An Yi immediately flew in front of the emperor to protect him.
However, as soon as he got close, he was blasted away by a violent spiritual power, his body flew out, and the wall on the left was shattered.
Mu Huairen's eyes suddenly widened with a frightened expression: "Here comes someone, protect..."
The words stopped suddenly, and a biting coldness ran down the emperor's neck.
He lowered his head in horror and saw a silver-white long sword with a cold glow, lying across his neck!
