âBe careful.â Ah Yu reminded them softly. The two people who led the way glanced at Ah Yu and said carelessly, âDonât you think itâs too late to talk about this now?â
âItâs never too late to be cautious.â Wang Wulang took over and pointed his arm forward, blocking the personâs gaze on Ah Yu. âBrother, your City Lord is building a residence in such an area. Is he planning to open a black shop? Thereâs no one living in the desert.â
âIf you want to live, donât talk so much.â
However, Wang Wulang did not listen to his warning. Instead, he giggled and said a few more things, acting like a young master from a rich family who was inexperienced in the world.
There were all kinds of people in Jiangsai, but there were no simple people. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The more innocent he appeared, the more vigilant people would be of him.
With him like this, the two of them did not say anything else.
When they walked in, they realized that the stone palace was not empty. Instead, there were a number of people, all dressed in yellow-colored clothes.
âElf, how many people are around? I sense no less than a hundred auras.â
[There are 16 on top, 36 buried in the sand, 24 hidden in various parts of the palace, and 32 moving around the palace normally.]
âCan we beat them?â
[â¦] Kid, think about it. Is that possible?
It was not like these were more than a hundred weak ordinary people. These people were all chosen from Jiangsai City and were even more ruthless than ordinary martial arts and assassins.
Except a few old, weak, sickly, and crippled people.
Speaking of crippled
[By the way, King Xiaoyao is also inside. There are more underground buildings in this palace than on the ground. Itâs too deep. I canât investigate the details, but 1 can sense his approximate information.]
Ah Yu perked up. If Uncle All Shu was inside, they really had to go.
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, they indeed saw four people guarding it. They were not wearing the same clothes, but the colors were the same. Their heads were also wrapped in long cloth of the same color. They were the kind that could not be found if thrown into the sand.
After entering the palace, they could clearly feel the malicious gazes around them.
The interior of the palace was much more luxurious than the outside, but it was also mainly built of stone. The dome was extremely high, and there were some messy brush strokes. It looked like traces of a fight.
âWhy are you looking for the City Lord?â A girl in red suddenly walked down the stone steps in the distance. Her tone was a little lazy.
âWe want to open a steamed bun shop. I heard that weâre looking for the city lord to issue us a pass.â Chi Gou took the initiative to step forward and pretend to be a sloppy female hooligan. She asked her, âYouâre the city lord?â
The woman in red shook her head. âIâm not, but I can give you the pass you mentioned. As per the rules, one pass can only be used to open one shop. Weâll take one life in exchange for it. Have you thought of whose life you want to sacrifice along the way?â
At this moment, Xie Zhen, who originally did not have much of a presence, stood up. He took out an item from his sleeve and threw it to the woman in red.
Seeing the woman in red catch it, he said, âCan this be worth a life?â
The woman in red was at a loss when she saw the thing in her hand. It was only when she saw the words on it that her expression turned slightly cold.
She deliberated for a moment before saying, âWait hereâBighead, entertain the guests well.â
She left the same way she came. The other man who led the way beside the scar-faced man walked forward. âLetâs go.â
Ah Yu: âSo your name is Bighead? I donât think you have a big head.â
âHehe, his head might be big, but his brain is small,â Wang Wulang muttered in a voice that everyone could hear.
No matter how calm and composed Bighead was, he could not take it anymore at this moment. He turned around and was about to slap him.
Halfway through, a dart flew over and stopped him.
âBighead, you canât neglect the guests.â It was the voice of the red-robed woman who had already left.
Bighead retracted his hand aggrievedly. âYes.â
When Ah Yu saw all of this, she lowered her voice and said to Wang Wulang, âFifth Brother, that Sister is so valiant. I want to nurture many subordinates in the future too and become a boss in the martial arts world.â
Wang Wulang:ââ¦â If you go to the martial arts world, 1 would definitely be beaten into meat paste by my parents and Grandma when I returned.
âAll Yu, letâs not do this kind of unambitious thing.â
âYou!â When Bighead heard this, he glared angrily again, but he did not dare to say anything.
The scar-faced man shook his head at him, indicating for him to not be anxious.
In any case, the only thing these people could do was talk. After entering this stone hall, no outsiders could leave alive.
They were arranged to stay in a small stone hall. There was no tea on the table, only a few dry fruits. It was impossible to tell what the fruits were.
In addition, there were a few plates of cactus.
Wang Wulang wanted to vomit when he saw the cactus. He retched a few times on the spot, causing Bighead to roll his eyes.
He had no doubt that if not for that woman in red warning him in advance, this Bighead would definitely have fought him fiercely.
âHahahaha, itâs actually friendly fire. We donât recognize each other anymore!â Just as they were getting impatient from waiting, a rough voice sounded, echoing in the stone hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a black robe striding over. His face was covered in beard and he looked chubby. He did not look fierce. Instead, he looked very simple and honest.
The woman in red followed behind him and said to them, âThis is our City Lord.â
The City Lord laughed loudly and continued, âYouâre all juniors. Just call me Uncle Wan. As for youââ
He looked at Xie Zhen and said reluctantly, âJust call me Brother Wan.â
As he spoke, he slapped Xie Zhenâs shoulder.
There was the sound of bones cracking. Xie Zhen screamed and covered his shoulder.
Swoosh!
Chi Gou drew his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest. âProtect your sister!â
City Lord Wan was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Xie Zhen. âBrother, you donât know martial arts?â
He wanted to be polite before resorting to force. This was just a very friendly pat on the shoulder.
Those who knew martial arts would take the opportunity to deflect the force on the spot. It was impossible for them to be injured. At most, it would hurt a little.
Not to mention that his bones were broken.
Xie Zhen:ââ¦â As the only person in the team who did not know martial arts, it was all his fault.
Wang Wulang was also angry. He raised his weapon and attacked Bighead, who was closest to him.
Bighead had long disliked him and immediately retaliated. The two of them instantly fought.
âElf, what should we do? Fight?â All Yu did not expect this development. Her original plan was to think of a way to meet King Xiaoyao when she saw the City Lord.
But now, with a pat on the shoulder from the City Lord, all her plans were ruined.
Xie Zhen was still shouting when Chi Ding and the scar-faced man started fighting.
Tang Yuan and the tomboy beside Ah Yu had yet to make a move.
[Kid, donât fight. You canât win.]
âAll Yu, they cut my clothes!â Wang Wulang shouted.
When Ah Yu heard this, she held the Xuan Heaven Bow in her hand on the spot and pulled and released it. Her speed was extremely fast as she released a shot towards Wang Wulang.
âPfftââ
A cyclone rushed towards Wang Wulang and brushed past him. It burrowed into Bigheadâs headgear and brought down a large pile of things that landed on the ground.
Bigheadâs face turned from red to black, then from black to white, his face filled with humiliation.
The air fell strangely silent.
Everyone looked at Bigheadâs bald and slightly big head.
âAll, thisâ¦â Xie Zhen stopped shouting. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Bighead was furious. Just as he was about to attack, he heard the City Lord say, âWait.â
He looked at the Xuan Heaven Bow in Ah Yuâs hand and narrowed his eyes.. âYouâre the successor of the Xuan Heaven Bow? Youâve been to the underground palace?!â
