The man lying on the ground yesterday was sleeping at the moment. It was just a day later, but he seemed to become double-sized than yesterday. His appearance had also changed, like a big weirdo.
Without thinking too much, Mo Li pulled out the sword as the king of witchcraft instructed, and pierced the man’s heart straightly.
When the sword was inserted into the weirdo’s chest, his eyes suddenly opened, and his body was full of force. Mo Li was rebounded heavily.
But for a moment, the weirdo began to shrink at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his body began to bleed. It was so disgusting.
After dealing with this big monster, the two dared not stop here. Before entering the cave, they saw Hou Shi surrounded by controlled villagers.
So they quickly walked into the secret room, began to search for the insect king who gave orders to the villagers, and finally found it in a dark cell. They rushed to the gate to the cave.
The villagers around Hou Shi were all controlled. It was difficult for him to escape.
Zhan You came to him and said, “I wonder who made troubles. It’s you, my bro.”
“Zhan You, do you know what you are doing now? Our late master will never forgive you.” Hou Shi decided to delay him first.
Zhan You sneered, “I know what I’m doing now. You don’t need to remind me. Besides, he is your master. From the moment he decided to pass the king of witchcraft to you, I have broken up with him. He isn’t my father anymore.”
“How can you think like this? Master was also kind to you.” Seeing that Zhan You had not forgotten the conflict with his father, Hou Shi said patiently.
Hearing this from Hou Shi, Zhan You laughed, “Kind? He was only kind to you.”
“You will suffer the consequence for it.” Hou Shi said.
“Consequence? I am not afraid of it. Listen! Beat the old man to death.”
Zhan You ordered the villagers to move closer to Hou Shi.
Hou Shi had no choice but to wait for being caught because he could not fight against so many controlled villagers.
Soon, Hou Shi was tied up.
“King of witchcraft, it’s your turn today! You have studied the grubs for so many years, but you haven’t tried the feeling of the grubs in the body yet.” Then, he took out a small bottle with grubs.
Hou Shi looked at Zhan You, and realized that he was obviously furious with hatred. He shouted, “Zhan You, don’t go too far!”
It seemed that Zhan You didn’t hear it. He continued the movements in his hands, preparing to feed Hou Shi to take the grub.
At this time, they heard someone says, “Stop it!”
Zhan You was slapped by Mo Li before he responded.
Shuo Ling also quickly took Hou Shi out of the villagers’ siege.
Then he stood aside and took out the grub found in the secret room. He asked Hou Shi, “Is it this one?”
“Exactly.” The king of witchcraft said after opening the lid.
Then he took a silver needle and prodded it gently to the head of the insect king. The insect was struggling a few times and didn’t move anymore.
In an instant, all of the villagers fell in a faint.
Shuo Ling asked, “Why?”
“These villagers have been under control for too long. Their bodies are still unacceptable at this time, and they will get better after a while.” Hou Shi explained to Shuo Ling.
At this time, Zhan You sat up from the ground and looked at Hou Shi viciously, “Don’t celebrate too early!”
Then Zhan You took out his bamboo flute and blew up.
Of course, Hou Shi knew why Zhan You was doing this! He wanted to control the seduce of the nightmare with the sound of the flute, calling the weirdo out.
A moment later, Zhan You found something wrong and roared like crazy, ” Hou Shi, you…you…you let them kill the seduce of the nightmare I planted so hard!”
“So what? The seduce of the nightmare shouldn’t have appeared in the world.” Hou Shi looked at Zhan You.
Then he said, “Now you have violated the master’s rules. According to Article 18 of the rules, those people who study banned books will be killed!”
Looking at Zhan You who have not regretted, Hou Shi had no choice. In order not to let more people suffer in the future, Hou Shi closed his eyes and meditated, “Master, I’m sorry. I failed to take good care of Zhan You.”
Hou Shi thought and turned around. He pulled out Mo Li ‘s sword and walked towards Zhan You.
At this time, Zhan You became afraid and stepped back, “Brother, even if you don’t care about my feelings as your younger brother, you should care about the face of the master, shouldn’t you?”
“If the master were still alive, he would also kill you, wicked student.” Hou Shi said, and stabbed at Zhan You.
The two were of equal skill, and now Mo Li said to Shuo Ling, ” Marquis, should I help the king of witchcraft?”
“No, it is for them in the Witchcraft City. Leave him alone.” Shuo Ling replied.
Seeing that Zhan You fell, and was stabbed in the arm by Hou Shi with his sword. It seemed that he would not be able to resist when seven or eight people in black appeared from the side.
A person rescued Zhan You, and the remaining men in black began to fight against Hou Shi.
Mo Li saw it and also joined the battle.
When the man in black with Zhan You was about to disappear, Shuo Ling quickly sent a signal to the sky to inform General Li to take the soldiers into the village to deal with these men in black.
Shuo Ling motioned to Mo Li to hold it first. Then he chased in the direction of the man in black who took Zhan You away.
Followed along with the bloodstains, Shuo Ling saw this man in black put Zhan You on a carriage and walk towards the outside!
Is this matter related to Xiling? Thinking of the weirdo in the dungeon, Shuo Ling couldn’t help being surprised. If this matter was Xiling’s command, or if Zhan You raised a large number of the seduce of the nightmare, the consequences could certainly be detrimental. Shuo Ling decided to find an opportunity to investigate in Xiling.
Shuo Ling returned to the village of god’s temple. At this time, it was already dawn, and the villagers who had been controlled were awakened. But their bodies were still very weak. General Li and his soldiers helped to send these people back to their homes.
When Mo Li saw him come back, he stepped forward and asked, “How is it?”
Shuo Ling shook his head, and asked, “Have you caught the man in black?”
“I caught two, but when I started asking, they bit their tongues to commit suicide.” Mo Li replied.
“Commit suicide?”
Shuo Ling thought about it. It seemed that the matter should be investigated as soon as possible.
After everything was ready, General Li counted the number of troops and prepared to leave.
Looking at them who were about to leave, these villagers began to worry again.
At this point, someone said the worry in his heart, “Your Majesty, since the wizard has not caught it, will he return to the village once you leave?”
“You don’t have to worry. The wizard was seriously injured and dared not show up for a while. As long as I find his trail, I will grab him back to the Witchcraft City to accept the punishment. Take it easy.” Hou Shi went to the villagers and said.
After listening to the king of witchcraft, the villagers get relaxed.
Villagers all thanked them by kneeling down.
They saw off the troops at the gate to the Elysium City and didn’t come back until the troops entered into the city.
“After these days of tossing, I can finally have a good night’s rest.” Mo Li said aside.
Looking at Marquis, Mo Li felt that his Marquis is thinking about something.
“Buy a carriage and put it at the gate to Mr. He’s Mansion.” Shuo Ling didn’t answer his question and directly ordered Mo Li.
At this moment, Mo Li wondered why he needed a carriage, but still responded, “No problem.”
Shuo Ling decided to prepare some precious gifts, in the name of the embassy of Dongling, to sound out the King of Xiling.
As for these gifts! It was definitely too late to buy them now. But Mr. He had been in the Frontier Fortress for many years and would collect a lot of rare things!
Arriving at the mansion of He, Shuo Ling said directly to He Zhang, “I’m going to visit the King of Xiling tomorrow, but I came here from Jing City hurriedly and brought nothing. I can’t visit him without any gifts.”
” Marquis, you don’t have to worry about it. I will prepare them for you.” He Zhang was so smart that he naturally knew what Shuo Ling was going to say.
Shuo Ling nodded, “Well, the prepared things should be put on the carriage outside.”
“Yes, Sir!” He Zhang said.
Then he asked people to prepare.
He Zhang felt extremely distressed as he watched the servants send the things he had collected for several years to the carriage prepared by Mo Li.
Looking at the expression of He Zhang, Mo Li finally understood what Marquis had thought before.
Early in the next morning, Shuo Ling borrowed some people from General Li and asked them to take the things prepared by He Zhang yesterday. The crowd walked toward the Jing City of Xiling.
After a few days, they finally arrived at the Jing City of Xiling. As they just settled down, Shuo Ling wrote a visit post and asked Mo Li to send it to the embassy.
Lan Kuo, emperor of Xiling was very enthusiastic about Shuo Ling and prepared a feast after knowing that Shuo Ling would come to visit.
After the banquet, Shuo Ling began to tentatively ask, “Your Majesty, do you know the disappearing matter in the frontier fortress?”
“The disappearance has been heard for a long time. Two days ago, the officers and soldiers who were close to the frontier also caught two suspicious people. The local officials questioned the two, and later asked clearly that they were related to the disappearance. The local officials felt it important, so he asked someone to escort them to Jing City overnight. “Lan Kuo said.
Shuo Ling became serious, “So, now the two are in the palace, aren’t they?”
“Yes. I also worry about the disappearance of the frontier people. I was afraid that it would affect the relationship between us. So I detained these two people alone and was preparing to go to the officials of the frontier frontiers in Dongling. I didn’t expect Marquis Shuo to come.” Lan Kuo said sincerely to Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling followed his words and asked, “Now do you know who is the boss?”
“Not yet, but I have sent officials to interrogate. Now that you are here from Dongling, I will deliver the two to you.” It seemed that Lan Kuo was anxious to get rid of these things.
Shuo Ling would like to see what the King of Xiling wanted to do, “Fine. Thank you, your Majesty.”
Shuo Ling followed Lan Kuo to the place where the two were held.
However, when he went in he saw that the guards were dealing with two bloody bodies.
Lan Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, “I told you to interrogate them. How are they dead now?”
“Your Majesty, spare us, Your Majesty. We are interrogating, but they hit the wall while we were not paying attention. I…we….” The guard said with fear. They were frightened when they saw Lan Kuo get angry and knelt down hurriedly.
Before finishing speaking, they were interrupted by Lan Kuo. His face was full of anger at the moment, and he no longer listened to the explanations of these guards, “You cannot even accomplish these things. Come on! Kill them now!”
