In the eastern region of Yaoxuan City, there is a courtyard that can barely be considered complete in appearance.
At the gate of the courtyard, two young men from the Suzaku clan were guarding here. Although they were just guards guarding the gate, their strength was not weak at all. Both of them were around the third level of king level.
The guards at the gate work shifts every two hours. If there is something to do, it may not be boring. However, this is Lord Zhou Baide's courtyard. Who without a good sense dares to act wild here? To put it bluntly, these guards are just a decoration. In fact, they are almost It doesn't work, so standing for a long time will inevitably make it boring.
At this time, one of the guards shook his head in boredom and said, "Liu Chi, how long have we been on duty?"
When the young man who was called Liu Chi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "An hour is more. Don't think about it, it's still very early for the rotation."
"Oh, I really don't know what we are doing here. How many days have we been standing here? Several months have passed. Not even an ant has crawled over during this time, let alone anyone looking for trouble."
The guards sighed and looked at the deserted scene around them. They couldn't help complaining. They came into the chaotic battlefield and wanted to have some experience, instead of guarding the door here!
"That's the truth. I heard that there are many secrets in the chaotic battlefield. I originally wanted to see if I could find some treasure, but it seems like we won't be able to enjoy it."
Liu Chi also sighed heavily. The strength of the third-level king level is also considered to be the best among the younger generation of monsters. However, now he is guarding the gate for others. It is really...
He complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to report it even if he had ten more courages. He didn't see the few guards who guarded Lord Zhou a few days ago, and didn't know how they guarded the door. They actually let a spirit The girl who was above the grade ran away, but was beaten half to death in Master Zhou's anger. She still can't get out of bed.
Thinking about it, Liu Chi felt a chill in his back. They were all at least fifth-level king-level experts. They were much stronger than him, but they were still beaten like this.
"I'm getting angry when I talk about it. Let's not talk about this, brother...for the sake of the two of us standing guard together for several days, let me tell you a secret." The guard interrupted the topic angrily and immediately looked around. , deliberately lowering his voice and whispering.
Hearing this, Liu Chi also became interested. They have been on guard for a long time, and listening to recent hot topics is their only pleasure. Especially since he is so mysterious, it may not necessarily be some confidential information.
Liu Chi lowered his head and leaned over, curiously saying: "What's going on? Let me tell you."
Seeing Liu Chi's curious look greatly satisfied the guard's vanity, and he said with satisfaction: "You must never tell anyone else about this. My brother who is on guard told me this. The information is absolutely reliable!" "
"I know, I know, tell me quickly, I'm listening!" Liu Chi agreed repeatedly. At this time, he just wanted to know what was so secret?
The guard lowered his voice and whispered: "Then I told you, I heard from my brother that he met Mr. Zhou just now when he was standing guard!"
"Hey, are you kidding me? Who hasn't seen Lord Zhou after standing here for a long time? I've met him several times. What's so big about it?" Liu Chi curled his lips. He thought it was some secret, but it turned out It's so disappointing for this little thing.
The guard had a mysterious smile on his face and said nonchalantly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, haven't I finished what I said? The point is later. If you interrupt me in such a hurry, do you still want to hear it?"
"Okay, go ahead and let me listen." Liu Chi said, but the interest on his face dropped by three points.
Seeing Liu Chi's lack of interest, the guard fortunately stopped trying to tease him and once said: "I heard from my brother that Mr. Zhou was injured when he came back, and he was seriously injured! There is no one who can't recover in ten and a half months. I didn't actually see it, but I heard that Mr. Zhou was covered in blood at that time, which frightened many people."
Hearing this, Liu Chi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Master Zhou is seriously injured? You must know that Master Zhou is an emperor-level powerhouse, and you didn't see that even those seniors of the first and second levels of the emperor level were attacking Zhou. Your Excellency's attitude is simply respectful, which means that Master Zhou must be an outstanding person even among the emperors. Who can have the ability to cause Master Zhou to be seriously injured?"
The guard also shook his head helplessly and expressed confusion: "You ask me this question and I don't know. Mr. Zhou seems to be very taboo about talking about this matter. He didn't say who hurt him at all. So if you look at Mr. Zhou's room these days, The surrounding guards have been strengthened a lot, probably to protect Lord Zhou. Tsk tsk, to be able to protect Lord Zhou, you must be at least a king-level master of the eighth level or above."
"So, this information is good enough." The guard chuckled, his face full of pride and complacency.
"It's really delicious. Next time something good like this happens, remember to tell me about it." Liu Chi nodded. This thing was enough for him to fantasize about for several days.
"Hey, of course. If you have good stuff over there, don't forget to remember... By the way, have you noticed that it seems a bit noisy inside?" The guard nudged Liu Chi with his elbow, and immediately became confused. He turned his head and looked into the courtyard.
"There are so many people. Could it be that something happened?" Hearing this, Liu Chi also felt that there seemed to be a bit of noise inside. Mr. Zhou was still recuperating. Who dared to make such a noise?
After nodding, the guard was about to answer, but at this moment, a strong man wearing mighty armor and an imposing manner ran out from inside.
"Captain Zeng!"
"Captain Zeng!"
When they saw this person, the guard and Liu Chi straightened up and greeted him respectfully.
Captain Zeng waved his hands and said in an anxious tone: "Okay, there is not much time, no need to be polite. If something happens, you don't need to continue to stand guard. Act quickly."
After saying that, Captain Zeng shook his head, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Liu Chi felt anxious and quickly called out to the strong man, saying: "Wait a minute! This...this...Captain Zeng, what is it that you haven't said yet?"
The strong man patted his forehead and said apologetically: "Sorry, look how impatient I am. Mr. Zhou is missing. You two are going to recruit all the free people and search the whole city!"
After saying that, the strong man rushed into the courtyard in a hurry. This matter was driving him crazy, and he had to give orders on many things.
The guard was recalling the order given by the strong man in a daze, and his head was a little hard to turn around for a while.
"Is this...did I hear it correctly? Mr. Zhou is missing?...!"
Mr. Zhou, a strong man with at least the second level of Emperor Level or above, and countless King Level Peak and Emperor Level experts guarding him, has disappeared?
Liu Chi was the first to react and said hurriedly: "Hurry, hurry up! Don't be in a daze, Captain Zeng is going to make a joke with us? Hurry up and ask everyone to find people. If you move too slowly, you will lose your head!"
At this time, he had no time to think about why Mr. Zhou was missing. The most important thing was to carry out Captain Zeng's order!
With that said, Liu Chi did not dare to stay any longer and left without stopping.
After the guard reacted, he quickly followed Liu Chi and shouted, "Hey, wait for me!"
The two figures gradually disappeared in front of the courtyard.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It's also thousands of meters underground.
On the huge body of the Golden Horned Insect King, four figures appeared on the Golden Horned Insect King.
One of them was Ye Ming, who was picking his fingers playfully at this time, seeming to be thinking about something in his heart.
The other two figures with angry expressions were Mo Qianqian and Mo Chenfeng, who had fully recovered under the fatal pill. If Ye Ming hadn't asked them to wait a moment, they might have pounced on them.
The fourth figure was a little embarrassed. His hands and legs were bent in strange directions. His whole body was surrounded by ice-blue flames. His aura was extremely depressed. If it weren't for his eyes, The angry look in his face made him afraid that others would already regard him as a dead person.
If Liu Chi and Captain Zeng were here at this time, they would be surprised to recognize this embarrassed figure. It is Zhou Baide who they are looking for!
Facing those angry eyes, Ye Ming smiled indifferently and said: "Hahaha, kidnapping, it seems this is not the first time I have done this. Mr. Zhou Baide, don't you think so?"
