Even though it's almost dawn, the market is still bustling with activity.
A storyteller in civilian clothes with messy hair was sitting in front of a wonton stall in the night market, eating hot wontons.
"Ouch, ouch..." A mouthful of wontons entered his mouth, which made the storyteller squeak because it was so hot that he quickly spit the wontons into the spoon.
He looked back at the sky above the imperial capital and laughed, "Xiao Cangsheng has taken action, so it seems that there is no need for me, an old man, to step forward."
"hey-hey."
"This birthday of Emperor Chu is really lively."
"It's not in vain."
The wontons were already cold, so Mr. Storyteller ate them again. As he slowly chewed and tasted them, he complained, "The taste is worse. It's much different from what it was ten thousand years ago."
The storyteller raised his head and glanced at the owner of the wonton stall. He was no longer the old man with gray hair and a shambling walk, but a young couple.
"Hey." The storyteller sighed melancholy, "After all, it has been thousands of years, and many old people and friends have disappeared."
The storyteller looked at the unfinished wontons in the bowl, lost his appetite, left a piece of fairy jade on the table, put his hands behind his back, and slowly disappeared into the crowd of people in the imperial capital.
"Sir, walk slowly and come back often."
When the woman saw the storyteller leaving, she came over to clear away the dishes and take away the money.
But when she saw the round fairy jade next to the bowl, she was so frightened that she froze up and shouted hurriedly, "Master, master, come and see, is this... a fairy jade?"
When the young man heard his wife's exclamation, he hurried over and took a closer look. It turned out to be a fairy jade.
The couple hurriedly held the fairy jade in their hands and looked at the storyteller's retreating figure, "I felt that this gentleman was a little familiar just now."
The wife asked: "Do you know him?"
The young man shook his head, "It seems that when grandpa was still alive, I once saw a portrait in his place. It was very similar to the gentleman just now."
The wife exclaimed, "The portrait left by grandpa? That was at least fifteen thousand years ago."
"If the gentleman just now is really the gentleman from back then, wouldn't it mean that he has lived for more than 15,000 years?"
"The warriors who can live for such a long time are at least..."
When the young man and his wife thought of this, they were so frightened that they said the last words and stopped talking.
The couple came back to their senses, bowed deeply towards the direction where the storyteller left, and whispered: "Senior, if you come to the imperial capital again and want wontons, just look for me as soon as possible."
The couple thought that the storyteller had gone far away and could not hear them at all.
After they finished speaking, when they were about to continue doing business,
An old but kind laughter came, "Hahaha, run your small business well, your craftsmanship is much worse than your grandfather's."
"try hard."
“I will come back for your wontons.”
"I'm going to go."
When the couple heard the sound echoing in their ears, they were startled again. After being stunned for a long time, they came to their senses and bowed to the sky again.
…
Laughing Cangsheng appeared in the sky above the imperial capital and immediately shocked the Xiaoxiao people in the dark.
The nine whirlpools slowly dissipated in the sky, and the powerful men from all walks of life who coveted Lin Bai temporarily suppressed their thoughts.
But it can only be considered temporary.
If a young Supreme with the Supreme appearance can be won over, it will be a great opportunity for any sect and family.
But now that Xiao Cangsheng has taken action, the others will know the powerful relationship.
Although Xiao Cangsheng has the title of "the number one master in the contemporary Chu Kingdom", he is only one person after all. If the strong man hiding behind the nine whirlpools is willing to take action, they can also subdue Xiao Cangsheng if they join forces.
But the most important thing is... the power represented by Laughing People.
All the warriors in the demon world know that Xiao Cangsheng is the dean of the White Deer Academy of Chu State. He was the playmate of Emperor Chu when he was a child, and he accompanied Chu Liang, who had not yet become Emperor of Chu, to travel around the world.
The relationship between Xiao Cangsheng and the current Emperor of Chu is no longer that of a monarch and his ministers, nor is it that of friends. They are more like brothers.
It's a bit ridiculous to call him a brother to the royal family.
But Emperor Chu and Xiao Cangsheng seem to have already done it.
Therefore, Xiao Cangsheng's action at this moment must have been authorized by Emperor Chu.
If you don't retreat now, you are making an enemy of the Chu Emperor and the Chu State!
The Chu State is different from other forces. The Chu State is a country where imperial power overrides martial arts. The long-term official system has taught the top leaders of the Chu State to have a "slippery" mentality.
They like to talk half-talk and do things half-heartedly.
If it were other sects and forces, someone at the level of the sect leader would have taken action himself at this moment.
But in Chu State, Emperor Chu only gave Xiao Cangsheng instructions to take action.
However, the Chu royal family did not take action, which was just leaving a thin line.
The nine whirlpools dispersed, and the blockade of power beyond the Hunyuan Daoguo realm disappeared, allowing Lin Bai to resume his actions.
Under Xiao Cangsheng's gaze, Lin Bai gradually put away his supreme appearance, dragging Xia Jingzhi towards the city gate.
At this moment, under Xiao Cangsheng's gaze, not to mention the remnants of the third prince, even other secretly strong men who coveted Lin Bai, did not dare to take action easily.
Lin Bai then walked all the way to the city wall smoothly and helplessly.
Zhu Mo has been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Beside him, more than 500 Taiyi Daoguo Realm members from the Blood Dragon Legion of Zhaoxing Division are already ready to go.
Seeing Lin Bai walking through the city gate and entering the city, Zhu Mo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Langhou, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Bai's face was pale and his expression was cold. He threw the desperate Xia Jingzhi in his hand to Zhu Mo, "This is Xia Jingzhi."
Zhu Mo glanced at Xia Jingzhi, whose hands were covered in blood and his arm was broken. His face was full of despair and he no longer had any resistance.
"Leave it to us." Zhu Mo raised his hand and the warriors of the Blood Dragon Legion stepped forward, ready to take Xia Jingzhi from Lin Bai.
Seeing the Blood Dragon Legion coming forward, Lin Bai shook his head silently and raised his hand to stop the warrior who came up, "I can only leave this person to Lord Zhu Mo!"
Zhu Mo's eyes narrowed and he immediately understood what Lin Bai was thinking.
Lin Bai was worried that there were His Highness the Third Prince in the Blood Dragon Legion. If Xia Jingzhi was handed over to them, then all the efforts tonight would be in vain.
"Okay, I will take over personally and take him to purgatory myself."
Zhu Mo stepped forward, and Lin Bai sent Xia Jingzhi up.
But at this critical moment.
Within the Blood Dragon Legion, three warriors suddenly rose up, exuding fierce murderous aura.
But they did not come for Lin Bai, but for Xia Jingzhi in Lin Bai's hand.
Lin Bai immediately noticed something strange. The demon sword and the four flying swords shot at the same time, slashing at the three people who were attacking.
The demon sword forced one person back, and the four flying swords forced one person back.
And the last person attacked Xia Jingzhi at all costs.
In desperation, Lin Bai used his Five Elements Dao Body to resist the blow with his physical strength.
Although he was beaten until he vomited blood, fortunately, Xia Jingzhi's life was saved.
They didn't want to kill Lin Bai, but Xia Jingzhi.
The third prince obviously knew that he could not successfully rescue Xia Jingzhi, so he changed his mind at this moment and let the dark son of the Blood Dragon Legion kill Xia Jingzhi at all costs.
