Outside the harbor of Leye City stands a huge building with double eaves and nine ridges, with staggered brackets and yellow tile roof, like a golden palace.
This is Zhengshi Palace, the residence of Xia Ce, one of the three rulers of Leye City.
Leye City does not have a city lord, but Xia Ce, Zi He, and Ying Zhi manage all aspects respectively.
And now, a purple-haired boy is stroking the white jade pillars in the palace, and the orchids marked with gold are lifelike on the white jade.
"This old woman is really luxurious. Her residence is almost as much as my master's lifetime wealth."
"Zi He has always been diligent and frugal when he took office. He spent all his money to build Leye City. It is normal for him not to be as rich as Xia Ce."
In the corner, an old man with white hair and a shriveled and wrinkled face walked out.
"Ying Zhi, your body looks like it's gone. Have you found a successor?"
"Hehehe... I've found a good one, but I haven't decided yet which child is suitable. Younger is better. You are just in your prime, aren't you?"
"Forget it, stop chatting, why are you calling me this time? Where is Xia Ce, isn't that old woman the first one to come every time?"
The young man looked impatient and impatient, and the immortal order around his waist involuntarily sent out a few strands of electricity.
"Xia Ce has been missing for half a month. I have organized people to search for it, but they haven't been found in the entire Cangzhou. They haven't even seen the body. I still don't know whether he is dead or alive..."
"What! This old woman is obviously the most stubborn, how could she disappear?"
The young man was a little unbelievable. He had been tricked by Xia Ce several times when he first took office, and he knew very well how shrewd that woman was.
"I suspect it may have something to do with the Night Stalker."
"Night Demon? Isn't that a lunatic who kills people randomly in the city without a fairy order? How could he possibly get in touch with Xia Ce? Speaking of a lunatic, haven't you caught him yet?"
"...Zihe, don't worry, the Night Demon is really weird. The Jinyun family is also involved. They suspect that the Night Demon may not be human."
The young man seems to be unable to control his strength. When he gets excited, a purple electric current will emit from his side.
"Not a human being? If the Jinyun family really says that... then how can it be!"
"It is possible that ordinary evil worshipers are afraid of the pressure of the Dragon God and should not dare to enter the city, so it may be the remnant soul of the Demon God."
"The remnant soul of the demon god, do you need to invite an immortal? I don't think this is something that the mortal body can solve."
"Of course this is just a guess. During my investigation, I also found some people who may be night demons. Take a look for yourself."
Ying Zhi said, throwing the scroll in his hand, but the young man caught it and unfolded it.
Various names of people were listed with their identities.
Li Yinyang, Xuan Ping, Wang Fanyan, Shuai Chengxuan...Han Ning.
The scroll, which is more than half a meter long, has dozens of names written on it, and Han Ning's name is clearly written at the end.
But the boy was not very familiar with Han Ning, so he just wrote down everyone's names.
"Is it accurate?"
"Not necessarily. After all, I can't guarantee whether the Night Demon is a human or not. Let's investigate first and remember to hide the news of Xia Ce's disappearance."
"I see……"
Outside Leye City, on a green plain, Han Ning was waving the white spear in his hand, with a trace of white mist accompanying each wave.
After hitting the surrounding monsters, the white mist suddenly exploded, splitting the monsters' skin and flesh, and the pain made them afraid to run away.
"Hoo~"
After driving away the monsters, Han Ning pierced the spear into the soil, leaning on it and panting.
"Let me look at the map, um... very good, we're almost there, there should be a bamboo shoot field in front of us."
Han Ning pulled out the spear, took out the whetstone he carried with him, and sharpened the tip of the spear until it shined.
As we continued walking forward, there were several discordant burnt marks on the plains on the road.
Han Ning took a deep breath, and white steam began to appear slightly from his eyes. This was the effect of the Jinyun family's exercises.
It can simulate part of the power of the Immortal Order, but it is only a simulation, so the damage is extremely painful.
When Han Ning opened his eyes again, he looked at the scorch marks on the ground, and bursts of red light spots appeared on them.
"The fire mark is very good. It was indeed left by the immortal order!"
Guan Xing'er's Immortal Token is the Tao of Fire, and after using the Immortal Token, corresponding Tao marks will be left.
So Han Ning relied on this method to find Guan Xing'er and walked a few miles further. He could already see some bamboos, but there were no bamboo shoots. Guan Xing'er must have dug them up.
As soon as he raised his head, Han Ning saw a line of smoke rising from the distance, and the smell of stew came from the distance.
[Yes, it smells so good, it must be Guan Xinger!]
Guan Xing'er was sitting on the pony he had brought with him. In front of him was a fire made of bamboo. If it was roasted with a normal flame, the bamboo would be fried.
But she used the fire of the Immortal Order, so as long as the Dao Mark was enough, she didn't have to worry about these.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Guan Xing'er subconsciously moved closer to the spear, looking at the grass beside her from time to time with the corner of her eyes.
It wasn't until I saw a familiar face that I let out a breath of rainbow relief.
"It turns out to be Han Ning, why are you here?"
"You little girl, I'm obviously five years older than you, but you don't even call me Brother Han."
Xing'er waved her hand carelessly and said, "Don't worry so much. Is there someone near Caiyun Village who needs you to come and carry the body?"
"That's not true. I'm here to drive away ghosts. Look, I brought a tool with me."
Han Ning said, flashing the spear carried behind him.
"Are there any sneakies around Caiyun Village?"
Xing'er looked suspiciously at Caiyun Village in the distance, but then shook her head.
Well, forget it, this bamboo shoot soup has just been stewed, do you want to drink it together?"
"That's good. I just happened to bring a bowl, chopsticks, and a small folding stool, so it's better to be respectful than to obey."
After saying that, Han Ning took out a bench and bowls and chopsticks from the package behind his back, and sat down opposite Guan Xing'er.
Guan Xing'er's mouth twitched, this "just right" was too unreasonable.
Han Ning served herself a bowl of soup without ceremony, and drank it all in less than two sips.
"Xing'er, this soup feels a bit off, not very fragrant."
"Huh? What else is missing?"
Han Ning turned left and right, dug out a dozen powder from the package, sprinkled it into the soup, and stirred it evenly with a spoon.
"This, what is this?"
"Excellent spices. I just bought them from a traveling merchant. They are particularly fragrant when used in soups."
After mixing it evenly, Han Ning served himself another bowl, but he was also stuffed with one mouthful.
“Isn’t it more delicious this time?”
"Yeah?"
Seeing Han Ning drinking so deliciously, Guan Xing'er dubiously served herself a bowl.
After a few sips, she couldn't taste any difference.
[Why can’t you taste it? Forget it, try it again]
Guan Xing'er drank the entire bowl without tasting any difference, and looked at Han Ning with a puzzled look on her face.
But I saw Han Ning smiling with his eyes narrowed, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, and the blood vessels on his forehead turning black.
"Cough cough cough!" Guan Xing'er coughed and spit out a large mouthful of blood. At the same time, she felt a cramp in her chest.
"What kind of traveling merchant is that? This is not spice, it is clearly poison. Han Ning, have you offended someone?"
Guan Xing'er hurriedly searched for the detoxification powder in her luggage. She often went out looking for ingredients, and poisoning was not uncommon.
Therefore, she always keeps various detoxifying powders in her package in case of emergencies.
But Guan Xing'er had just been rummaging for a while when Han Ning stood up and kicked Guan Xing'er's package away.
"I bought it right. I bought the poison specially at that time. It seems to be very effective."
"you!"
Guan Xinger looked at Han Ning in surprise, but before she could say anything, several ice spikes suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, Guan Xing'er was quick and able to avoid the ice spikes while also picking up the spear on the ground.
"Han Ning, what are you doing!"
Guan Xing'er was filled with doubts. She couldn't figure out why Han Ning wanted to do something to her?
I can't even figure out where Han Ning got the Immortal Token or the activated Ice Dao Immortal Token.
"Xing'er, as long as you use the Immortal Token, this poison will spread faster. Look at me, the poison has spread to both eyes just now. Now I can see things are a little dark."
Han Ning opened his eyes in a demonstrative manner. At this time, his eyes had turned blood red, like those of monsters.
But the poison did not stop Han Ning, and instead kept waving his gun at Guan Xing'er.
"I remember that I have never offended you. As for exchanging one's life for one's life?"
"That's not true. It's just that I need you now and I have to wake you up. But you probably won't believe me if I tell you, so I can only be more direct."
"What are you talking about! What arousal, I am very awake now, ah!"
Han Ning dyed the spear in his hand with ice elements and started Jinyun Kung Fu.
Another shot was swung away. Guan Xing'er was afraid of the spread of the poison, so she never used the immortal order and relied on her physical strength to carry it.
But Han Ning forcefully cracked the handle of her gun.
Ancestor Jinyun was originally an Immortal Order of the Ice Dao, so many techniques were created to fit the Ice Dao.
Now Han Ning has truly shown the true power of Jinyun Kung Fu, and even looks like the ancestor of Jinyun.
But it's a pity that without Jinyun's bloodline, he will not be able to exert his true power.
But it was more than enough to deal with Guan Xing'er who didn't dare to use the Immortal Order.
Another strike, this time Han Ning cut off the handle of Guan Xing'er's gun directly, and was about to stab Xing'er's heart further.
But Guan Xing'er slipped, cleverly dodged Han Ning's attack, and then swiped the broken gun in his hand.
Although Han Ning quickly formed ice around his body, the quality was not good because it was produced in a hurry.
It was split open at once, and Han Ning's clothes were also cut open.
As Han Ning's clothes were cut open, the inside of the clothes was tied with thread, and the fairy order hanging around his neck was also exposed.
There is an Ice Dao Immortal Token that is glowing blue, an activated Wind Dao Immortal Token and a Rock Dao Immortal Token, and a dim Wind Dao Immortal Token.
"How could it be possible? There are so many!"
With Han Ning as the center, a huge gust of wind suddenly rose around him, mixed with all kinds of sharp ice spikes.
"Congratulations on guessing it correctly, but unfortunately there is no reward. I am the Night Demon. The Night Demon has been captured by the Guard Army for several days. The distortions have been frequent recently, so I need to wake up more people with the Immortal Order to supplement my combat power."
"I remember I was in Leye City when you were nine years old, right?"
"I thought you were old enough now. I always saw you concentrating on your cooking skills, but I didn't expect that your marksmanship was quite good. Okay, bye."
Guan Xing'er couldn't understand what Han Ning was talking about. She had never heard of anything about awakening the twisted body. She only knew that Han Ning was going to kill her now.
Sharp ice armor continued to condense on Han Ning's body, and the spear in his hand was also wrapped in ice.
He stabbed Guan Xing'er with a fatal blow.
A swirling and roaring fire surged out along Guan Xing'er's spear. Under such circumstances, she still used the Immortal Order.
"Poof!" The poison spread instantly, and Guan Xinger spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The fire, like a giant snake, melted the ice armor on Han Ning's body and even burned the skin on his hands and face.
But Han Ning even turned into a green shadow and disappeared in an instant, while Guan Xing'er also had a scratch on her face.
"what happened?"
Guan Xing'er was sweating profusely. She only felt the sharp pain in the wound on her face, and the wound was full of wind duct marks.
He quickly turned around and saw Han Ning, who was covered in burns, behind him. It seemed that he had used some kind of wind thrust technique.
[Is the stab crooked? Great!]
Guan Xing'er was thankful that Han Ning's stab was wrong. Otherwise, although she was sure that she could block it, she would definitely be injured.
"Do you think I stabbed it crookedly? Look what's on my hand?"
Han Ning waved his hand, holding a red-light fairy order in his hand.
"My fairy order!"
The next moment, Han Ning created a round sharp rock ring, wrapped in red flames, and flew forward.
He directly cut Guan Xing'er in front of him in half on the spot.
"How...is it possible? How is it possible in this world that someone can use multiple immortal commands at the same time...poof!"
People who have awakened the Immortal Order are really different from ordinary people. They have been cut in half and can still speak.
"After all, this world is fake. As a bug, it's normal for me to do some behaviors that are beyond the rules. Okay, okay."
"It hurts to look at it. Stop struggling. I'll help you end the pain. Let's meet again in the real world."
After he finished speaking, the cold spear stabbed him and his blood exploded.
In the end, Guan Xing'er only saw the spear that Han Ning stabbed into her head.
After finishing everything, Han Ning sprinkled a handful of animal repellent powder and gasped for air.
"Auntie! There seems to be movement over there in the bamboo forest. Let's go over and have a look!"
"knew."
Han Ning was startled by the movement in the distance.
"Why is that boy Yun Chao here! Shouldn't he be in the city?"
Although Han Ning looked very panicked, he did not run away. Instead, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then Han Ning suddenly disappeared, leaving only the remaining Dao marks and Guan Xing'er's body.
