Chapter 43: Breaking into the Imperial City, Searching Souls
Chapter 43: Breaking into the Imperial City, Searching Souls
Dawn has arrived, and the golden morning light has driven away the chill of autumn. However, the crowded Imperial City is still bustling.
"Ahem."
After a night of breathing exercises, Jiang Heng felt that his physical condition had improved a lot.
It seemed that he had thought of something.
He frowned and glanced at the empty space beside him. The straw mat was still there, but the petite figure was gone.
Jiang Heng sighed slightly and gazed at the imperial city.
After a moment, he stood up and walked over there.
Crowds of people were coming and going.
But many people would still glance sideways and look at this embarrassed man in surprise when Jiang Heng passed by.
They thought that with such a temperament, she shouldn't be so embarrassed
. Jiang Heng didn't care about it.
After thousands of years of vicissitudes, except for those few rare events, the secular eyes have long ignored them.
Jiang Heng did not stop his steps until he passed a teahouse.
Zuixianlou——
From outside the building, Jiang Heng could feel that the people gathered here were all cultivators, discussing one topic after another.
"Have you heard? Something big happened in Piao Miao Holy Land. The third generation of disciples was killed, and there were less than a hundred people left. It was Jiang Heng who did it."
"What the hell? He's alone? Why does he have to be so arrogant?"
"People in Piaomiao Holy Land said that he was possessed by a demon - but according to my distant cousin's aunt's second aunt, he was framed and became furious and killed all those who framed him!"
"So fierce?!"
"Fuck, that's Jiang Heng, he has the potential to be an emperor!"
"Piao Miao Holy Land issued the 'Piao Miao Order' to compete with the Tian Jian Sect in the ranking match. This is a battle to annihilate the clan and the sect!"
"There is unrest in Jianzhou. Countless sects have responded to the 'Heavenly Sword Order' and vowed to live and die with the Heavenly Sword Sect. It seems that the overlord of Jianzhou is also going to take real action!"
"Be careful these days. This imperial city is not peaceful. As far as I know, hundreds of children have disappeared."
"Jianzhou is next door. I wonder if our Yongzhou will be involved."
"Alas, when gods fight, the weaklings suffer."
Jiang Heng stopped and listened carefully to the "chat" inside, although a lot of the news was "groundless".
However, his experience in his previous life told him that the sources of information from these "red-light districts" were the fastest and most reliable.
Faster, more accurate and ruthless than any intelligence agency.
"The storm is coming. After finishing this matter, I really need to rush to Jianzhou as soon as possible."
"Okay."
"My beloved junior brothers and sisters, 'elders', let's gather under the Emperor's Banner someday!"
"Hahaha--"
A single move can affect the entire body. Jiang Heng does not intend to ignore the disaster that the Tianjian Sect is in this time.
The blood feud with Piaomiao
Holy Land and the grudge with Ye Beixuan, all of these must be resolved.
But
there are things to do right now!
"Boy and girl." Jiang Heng pursed his lips.
The "natural materials and treasures" needed for the Human Emperor Banner are not the point. The most important thing is the souls, bones and blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine "children."
With extremely yin energy, combined with millions of resentful spirits to form the banner.
"Why is the sky turning red? What the hell happened?"
"Why are there so many skulls?!"
"Damn it, this is a sacrifice, run, run!"
"There's a barrier outside, we're trapped!"
Just as Jiang Heng was silent, the noise around him dragged him out of his thoughts.
Looked curiously.
The originally orderly streets became messy, with miscellaneous goods scattered all over the ground.
No one knows when the sky has turned blood red, and countless skulls are wandering around as if they are ready to drink blood at any time!
This scene makes the atmosphere extremely panic-stricken.
Among them, an experienced elder recognized the situation here and started to roar loudly.
"Has it started yet?"
None of this was beyond Jiang Heng's expectations, considering the "black aura" he saw yesterday.
He knew that this huge imperial city was most likely the "object" of sacrifice.
I thought there were still a few days left.
I didn't expect it to start so soon.
Seeing this, Jiang Heng remained calm and did not smash the skulls. Instead, he looked towards the imperial city. After
a few jumps
He arrived at the foot of the imperial city!
At this time, the place was already full of people. Looking around, there were about a thousand of them, all of whom came to ask for an explanation!
Jiang Heng ignored them.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, he used his magic power to push open a path.
He walked up to the garrison soldier and was about to say something.
The soldier spoke first: "You stinky beggar, is this the imperial city where you came from?"
"Get lost!"
Seeing that Jiang Heng was dressed in rags, several soldiers immediately scolded him!
"oh?"
Jiang Heng was slightly surprised.
In the eyes of several soldiers, the index finger casually waved out a few "silver-white" crescents.
The next second, their vision began to spin!
"Plop."
Jiang Heng cut off the heads of eight soldiers!
"Fuck, this guy is a ruthless man."
"Brother, you are too impulsive. You can't afford to offend the Nangong Dynasty. Run!"
"Why does this person look so familiar? I must be mistaken. It can't be that adult!"
The monks who were making trouble behind him were originally afraid of the tyranny of the Nangong Dynasty and only dared to say a few words.
But when he saw Jiang Heng killing someone over a disagreement, he was shocked!
Jiang Heng ignored this!
He looked to a place not far away, where a man in armour was rushing over with more than a hundred elite soldiers.
Judging from the realm, it is "Yao Yang"!
"How dare you commit a crime at the foot of the imperial city? Wait until I capture you and extract your soul and refine your spirit."
The man looked at Jiang Heng and immediately started to scold him!
But when he saw Jiang Heng's face clearly, his expression was aroused: "It's you!"
"Oh?" Jiang Heng was suspicious.
"Okay, that's great. The princess ordered me to send someone to look for you, but you showed up here on your own!"
"kill him"
The male general laughed and immediately ordered his men to attack.
"Oh, I got it."
Jiang Heng raised the corner of his mouth and laughed.
Hundreds of "Silver Crescents" were immediately waved out!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In an instant, crescent-shaped rays like the god of death's scythe chopped down continuously, directly cutting hundreds of people in front of them into pieces.
Blood clots were flying everywhere, and blood was all over the ground.
The man wanted to resist, but his neck was already grabbed by Jiang Heng.
"Senior, calm down. I am Liu Cheng, the garrison general of the Nangong Dynasty. Are you going to kill me?"
"The dynasty is settling accounts with you."
Liu Cheng caught a glimpse of the broken arm remains behind him from the corner of his eye, and his soul was filled with fear!
He has been guarding the city for many years. How many people has he seen?
There are many hostile forces coming to cause trouble, but he has never seen such a cruel one.
He killed so many people immediately after a disagreement. He is simply a "devil"!
Moreover,
Nangong Nihuang actually asked him to catch this man!
Can he beat him?
Yaoyang, the fifth level, is not even a chicken in front of Jiang Heng!
"You talk too much."
Jiang Heng snorted coldly.
Extract the soul and refine the spirit immediately!
It was visible to the naked eye that the man's soul was "pulled" out by Jiang Heng, and countless memories were swept away by Jiang Heng.
"I hope it's not too late."
Jiang Heng scanned the memory fragments and found the shadow of that "girl".
Last night, I went to look for food and waited at the door of a bun shop. When I was picking up buns, I was discovered by this person and brought to the imperial city.
