Barrier of Light

E0 area.

The clean-up work outside the city has basically ended, and most of the Law Enforcers from the Tower of Source have returned... Their hands are stained with a lot of blood, and many who run slowly will be killed by them if they catch up.

Lord Suzaku said that anyone who has nothing to do with Yunjing's mission will be killed.

Du Hu stood at the top of the city, folding his sleeves with both hands, respectfully waiting for the arrival of the other three divine envoys. In the heavy rain, lightning and thunder thundered, and a flash of thunder fell, tearing the night into day. The next moment, three figures appeared We arrived at the high wall of Area E0.

"Where's Suzaku?"

Yunhu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Master Zhuque is out of the city to hunt for a murderer..." Du Hu bowed in response.

Yunhu asked again: "Where are the people?"

The person here naturally no longer refers to Suzaku.

She is the girl targeted by Yunjing's mission.

"..."

Du Hu looked a little embarrassed. The law enforcement officers searched the area around the northern city and killed many rioters, but they could not find the girl.

"Lost?" Yun Hu asked coldly.

If you must give an answer.

Then Du Hu could only answer honestly: "Sir, it should be lost."

Next, he told the truth about what happened in Area E0.

The expressions of the three divine envoys went from being calm at first to becoming increasingly gloomy and ugly.

"Guangming City incites riots..."

This time Yunjing's mission failed, Yunhu was actually quite gloating about the misfortune. Suzaku failed, which was actually good news for him, but Guangming City dared to come to Zhongzhou to cause trouble, which was unbearable.

There will be riots in Suzaku's territory.

My own territory... will not be an exception.

"This is the 'evidence' that Master Suzaku found..."

Du Hu carefully handed over the remains of the piece of clothing.

The red dragon reached out and took it.

"It is indeed a leftover object from Guangming City..."

Xuangui said slowly: "I feel a clear 'bright breath' here. Other things may be fake, but light breath is difficult..."

"Sir, Area E0 has been re-sealed."

Du Hu asked sincerely: "Is it possible that the thief is playing tricks and the girl targeted by Yun Jing is still in the area? I am going to lead people to search again..."

"No need."

Red Dragon turned his palms and took away the piece of clothing. He said calmly: "There is no need to search inside the city. Send people to search outside the southern city."

"Southern city?"

Du Hu was startled.

"Yunhu, Xuangui, you can allocate twenty each." Red Dragon said quietly: "If it's just one person, she may not have run far yet. If the girl is still in the wild, there may be a chance to stop her. This matter is very important, if Whoever wins it will be the first to win.”

He didn't explain why, and he didn't need to explain why.

This time the mission is south.

The Red Dragon can communicate with Mr. Tianshui at any time, and the Tower of Source uses Mr. Yan's "divination" to provide clues at any time.

Things that the red dragon does not explain can be considered "commands" or the results of "divination".

Yunhu Xuangui did not hesitate, and immediately summoned and arranged... They were too lazy to ask about this kind of thing. Whether it was an "order" or the result of "divination", they just needed to execute it. As long as they didn't ask, even if something went wrong, it would be fine. The red dragon takes responsibility.

Du Hu also followed the order and headed south with the law enforcers he brought.

After these law enforcers left, the high wall suddenly became deserted.

Yun Hu took the lead and asked: "Red Dragon, the riot in Area E0 cannot end like this... When are you going to hold a meeting on Guangming City?"

"I'm not planning a meeting."

Red Dragon spoke calmly.

Xuangui raised his eyebrows, "Although I unconditionally cooperate with all your instructions... But I want to ask, why did you do this?"

"There is no point in having a meeting."

Honglong said: "Even if Su Ye did what happened tonight, he would not admit it."

"Even if..." Yunhu realized something was wrong.

"Guangming City is very gloomy, even gloomier than most people imagine." Hong Long said slowly: "If they instigated tonight's riot... they would have done something more beautiful, such as killing He Chan. That sword has the attribute of 'lightning' attached to it, and with the strength of the Holy Judge, it is actually not difficult to erase the traces."

Yunhu reacted: "You mean...what happened tonight was not done by Guangming City?"

"Maybe, it doesn't matter whether Guangming City did it or not."

"We can only settle this debt with Guangming City, and we must settle it with Guangming City. Convening a meeting in advance will only make Su Ye wary in advance."

Red Dragon looked at the distant mountains outside the wall and said leisurely: "Suzaku guessed right, there are indeed hidden objects in Guangming City, and some of them are buried in the Tower of Source... Mr. Tianshui gave me a list. One of my main tasks for this 'Southbound Mission' is to let Guangming City uncover the dark web and take advantage of the situation to catch all the hidden people."

"???"

Yunhu and Xuangui were quite frightened when they heard this.

Among the four divine envoys, the one with the most transcendent status is the red dragon.

On weekdays, the one who takes on the most high-risk tasks and goes out the most is also the Red Dragon.

But they didn't expect... Mr. Tianshui would trust the Red Dragon to such an extent. They didn't even know about such important information as the Anzi buried in Guangming City!

"Don't think too much, it's not that you have fallen out of favor."

Red Dragon calmly consoled you: "I don't tell you, actually to prevent being noticed by the 'hidden son' under my command... And the reason why I told me is because I have almost no subordinates, so naturally there will be no 'trusted people' who have been instigated to rebel." kind of thing."

After hearing this, Yunhu and Xuangui looked even weirder.

What does it mean?

Guangming City has buried a secret... and it's under their command!

"Killing someone with a borrowed knife will lead to misfortune..."

Xuangui said in a deep voice: "If what happened tonight was not caused by Guangming City, then who could it be?"

"Beizhou, Dongzhou..."

The entire Sangzhou Grottoes is just that big.

There are not many candidates left.

"It's pointless to just guess out of thin air."

Yun Hu frowned: "According to this idea, the planners of tonight's riot left the city and headed north just to attract our attention... Then the real 'target' should be in the south."

So... Red Dragon immediately sent people south!

If those law enforcers can find clues about the Yunjing girl and continue to investigate, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes will naturally come to light step by step...

Thinking of this, Yunhu looked at Red Dragon with a somewhat complicated look, and also a little fearful.

Was the order just given the Red Dragon’s idea or Mr. Yan’s divination?

He couldn't guess.

"You two, I want to go out of the city myself to find the girl Yun Jing has put a reward on."

The red dragon asked: "Do you want to leave with me?"

Xuangui looked to the north of the city. The heavy rain was pouring, the mountains and fields were picturesque, and Suzaku had disappeared into the long night. He asked with a smile: "Suzaku went out of the city to catch the 'chief envoy'. Will he be okay?"

Yun Hu also laughed, but his laughter was indifferent: "I hope he dies outside the mountain."

"There is no one in this Sangzhou Cave who can kill him."

Hong Long said lightly: "Even if Jia Wei comes in person, he can still escape..."

"It's just that I'm a little worried," Yun Hu suddenly said: "With this guy's temper, if he catches up with his target and cannot attack for a long time, will he take away the 'Card of Nanli'?"

The Red Dragon Divine Envoy, who had turned around to leave, paused slightly.

When Yun Hu's words fell to the ground.

The three divine envoys all felt a tremor coming from the sea of ​​souls between their brows, and with a sound of "台", something was pulled away... The three of them stood silently in the heavy rain, feeling the huge sky in the distance. The collapse of airspace.

"……Grass."

Yun Hu immediately swore. Veins bulged on his forehead. He clenched his fists. He wanted to kill the Suzaku birdman from the air: "I really took away the 'Nanli'. In order to kill people, I even demolished the [airspace] barrier." Oh, is this idiot crazy?!"

Xuangui also looked gloomy: "..."

[Airspace] has been withdrawn, which is actually not a big deal. As long as there is no beast wave tonight, then after the battle, the four of them can gather in E7 again and re-form the boundary.

It's just that Suzaku acted as he pleased and didn't care about the barrier at all!

Take Nanli's card if you want!

If something unexpected happens...

What does Suzaku bear?

"Although there are no rules for this mission to the south, I will report everything truthfully to Mr. Tianshui. Suzaku let go of the 'Yunjing Target' and took the 'Nanli Card' without permission. All these matters will be reported."

The red dragon's expression was as calm as ever, "If the barrier of [Airspace] collapses, causing the Tower of Source's plan to suffer losses... these consequences will naturally be blamed on him one by one. You two, I want to leave the city. Now, none of you will come with me?"

Yunhu and Xuangui both shook their heads.

The red dragon nodded, indicating understanding, and then disappeared on top of the high wall.

…

…

Flying away from the fire, it enveloped the world.

In [Nanli Purgatory], Suzaku's body was surrounded by scarlet flames. Although this quasi-S-class object did not contain "divine power" and could not be compared with the apostle's token, when it was actually used, the blessing to the host was considerable.

The Suzaku God envoy took a step forward.

His speed has surpassed the sonic boom.

One punch!

Gu Shen's blazing spirit was even somewhat impossible to capture. He clasped his hands together and received the blow head-on... His whole body was sent flying backwards, and he hit the wall of the fire barrier in Nanli Purgatory!

"Chi chi chi——"

A hot burning sound sounded, and the temperature of the scarlet flame penetrated the Moon-Zhenyue robe and directly reached Gu Shen's soul!

His expression showed pain.

Nanli Suzaku's divine fire can directly act on the heart lake...

This burning made Gu Shen almost lose his soul. He gritted his teeth, his face was ferocious, and he almost exposed his identity.

At this moment, Gu Shen really wanted to use "Pure Land" and "Blazing Fire", use all his trump cards, and fight Suzaku for life or death!

But my rationality tells me that I can’t do this!

No matter how transcendent he is, he is currently only on the eighth level of the deep sea. Even if the "Pure Land" is unexpectedly sacrificed, he cannot kill Suzaku 100%... But if the "Pure Land" comes out, it means that his identity is exposed.

Suzaku had seen his "domain" in the Rhine City...

Once his identity is exposed, Gu Shen must kill him.

It's just that this birdman is too fast. If he makes up his mind to escape, he may not be able to catch up with the fourth-level transcendent.

If Gu Shen wants to kill Suzaku, he must make a complete enough game... The main purpose of tonight's game is to rescue the "son of the gods", not to kill the divine envoy. As Suzaku said before, he did not invite " Su Ye".

If the purpose of tonight is just to kill people——

Then after Suzaku steps into this barren mountain, he will see Chen Mei and Bai Xiu, two top level fours, appear together, and then within the tenth of a second when the Pure Land freezes him, [Time Slow] is activated, [Thunder] World Walker] teleported and chopped off his head.

In the end, Gu Shen will burn his body completely and use "Underworld Fire" to drag his soul into the pure land, ensuring that no trace of the Tower of Source's prophecy can be found.

Just like...killing Meng Xiao.

It's just that sometimes, it's not necessary to kill people in order to hurt one's heart——

"Calculate the time...it should be almost time."

Gu Shen murmured in his heart.

He reached out a hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lip.

Gu Shen looked up at the "Nanli Purgatory" that enveloped him.

The four divine envoys... gathered together before and built a complete [airspace] in front of the E0 area city.

This S-level barrier can play an extremely powerful role in the subsequent "resisting the beast tide", but there is only one flaw. [Airspace] must have four tokens to control it.

As long as one is missing, [Airspace] cannot be built.

Nan Li Purgatory, trapping himself, means... [Airspace] has been lifted.

Gu Shen's ghostly face, burning with snow-white light, suddenly revealed a smile.

This smile was seen by Suzaku.

The latter frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

…

…

It was windy and rainy, and the mountain roads were muddy.

Xiao Man followed the young man in white and walked in the heavy rain. The thunder continued to roar and fell in her ears, but it was no longer majestic and scary... The thunder that tore through the long night gave her a surprising sense of security.

The little guy didn't dare to say anything. She just followed Bai Xiu and walked forward. In the darkness, she had long lost her way...

After leaving Area E0, she ran all the way south.

But where are you going now?

Xiaoman's mind kept echoing what the man in white had said when he received him.

"The road ahead is long."

"Let's go slowly."

She was indeed walking slowly, and so was the young man in white.

It's just that every time the two of them take a few steps, they will "teleport" forward a certain distance.

The frequency was not fast at first, but then it gradually accelerated... She vaguely felt something was wrong, as if every time lightning struck, the surrounding scene would change.

Xiaoman didn't look up, so he didn't know.

Behind her, there is a majestic General Lei Guang, his hands gently resting on the little girl's shoulders. Every time Bai Xiu activates [Thunder World Walker] to teleport, Lei Guang will take the little girl with him.

Finally, Baixiu said softly: "We're here."

His steps slowed down.

Xiao Man was not tired from walking. Not to mention losing the basket and not having to get wet in the rain. Even if she was carrying a heavy basket and moving forward in the rain, she could run for another two hours.

At this moment, she looked at the scene in front of her with a confused expression.

In the distance there is a towering black shadow that reaches the sky.

Under the sudden appearance of lightning.

The tall black figure revealed its true face to her.

It was a huge, towering mountain.

The entire Sangzhou Cave... grows around this huge mountain. This mountain is the heart of the growth of Sangzhou Cave and is also the "eye of destruction." If you look down from a high altitude, you will see the cracked and sunken mountain pass. There are billions of tons of black mountain ash in it. Heavy rain falls, burning up bursts of mist. The extreme high temperature burns everything that enters the mountain pass to ashes.

"here it is……"

Xiaoman stared blankly at the huge mountain shadow in front of him.

Only then did she realize what the young man in white meant when he said "the road is long."

Bai Xiu turned around.

He looked at Xiaoman and said softly: "This is Tan Yao."
