Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 1706: Law of the Forest
Xiao Zhong, whose original name was Yin Zhong, had the same surname as the old man in front of him, so the old man's full name was Yin Yue.
This was naturally not a coincidence, and the only explanation was that the two belonged to the same family. However, looking at the relationship between the two, naturally no one would regard the two as having a blood relationship.
There was indeed no family affection between the two, but there was a thin trace of blood relationship, which of course could be ignored directly. The young man who was buried in the space turbulence also had the same surname, so his name was Yin Jie.
The surname Yin was not common on the mainland, and even few people had heard of it. However, the surname Yin occupied an important position in that mysterious ancient wasteland, just like the Huan surname of Duotian Mountain, which was a relatively ancient surname on the mainland, and this surname itself implicitly represented the history of the mainland.
Since it was an ancient wasteland, even the most powerful surnames and families did not appear in the form of a simple family, so the old man and the young man naturally came from a sect, and that sect itself could be called a behemoth.
People from the Ancient Wasteland were not allowed to move around in other places on the continent, and naturally were not allowed to participate in the disputes of other forces on the continent. But they did come to Kuo City, and they also had an unclear relationship with the painter, so they had violated the rules of the Ancient Wasteland.
For this reason, the old man has been carefully hiding his identity. If he had not been bound by the power of space when the space collapsed, the old man would probably not have chosen to kill Ikari and Tang Bin first, but to escape from the scene as soon as possible.
The old man fell into silence. He came to the Xuanwu Empire with a special mission and task. If everything was completed smoothly, it would be fine, but now the situation is obviously developing in a completely different direction.
His cultivation is certainly far higher than the strongest among all the forces in Kuo City, but the old man also has his own concerns. He cannot expose his identity, let alone let people know his existence. Even if there should be no one who knows him here, he dare not take even the slightest risk.
Before, the old man took advantage of a loophole in the formation and quietly lurked in the cracks of space. In this way, he would not be noticed by others, and at the same time, he could carry out many covert actions in secret.
Before the chaos of the collapsed space, the old man Yin Yue had been acting in secret. He was not even in a hurry. He believed that no matter where the situation developed and how many forces joined the dispute, he would be the final winner.
But now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. After the space collapsed, the formation of Kuocheng was completely repaired, and he would have no chance to sneak into the formation again. In addition, he was seriously injured now, and the old man was worried about the external situation.
On the other hand, the young man Yin Zhong on the side had strange eyes at this time, and his face changed slightly, as if he was suppressing himself. However, after such a big change, Yin Zhong's performance did not make the old man take it too seriously.
No one knew how excited Yin Zhong was at this time. The young man certainly knew how valuable it was for such a strange thing that could destroy space and cause space collapse.
Unlike Yin Yue, the young man had sneaked into the Xuanwu Empire several months ago. He even knew more and more detailed information about what happened outside the Yao family's refining mountain than the sect's intelligence.
Although the young man still couldn't figure out the identities of the man and woman, the golden flame was an important clue. He was sure that it was the method Zuo Feng used in the Refining Mountain.
If the young man was only a little moved after receiving the news, he was completely fascinated by it now. As he said before, he thought that the result of the space collapse was the combination of Chu Zhao's Refining Mountain formation and the special method used by Zuo Feng.
But after Yin Yue's description, Yin Zhong had guessed that the means to cause the space collapse were mainly concentrated in Zuo Feng's hands. As long as he could obtain that method, he would have a way to perform that terrifying method.
"Cough cough..."
A violent cough pulled the young man's thoughts back. He hurriedly calmed down and didn't dare to let the other party see that he was distracted at the moment.
The old man didn't notice that Yin Zhong's expression was wrong. He simply couldn't suppress the injuries in his body. It seemed that there was a ball of fire burning in his chest, so he coughed violently.
"Master Yue, your health seems not very good. Do you want to find a way to contact someone in the sect?" Seeing the old man like this, Yin Zhong spoke with an idea in his heart.
The old man seemed to be a little moved, but finally sighed, shook his head slowly and said: "The matter of Kuocheng is entrusted to us. Now there is no clue. If we contact the sect at this time, not only will we not get help, but we may also be scolded."
The young man looked surprised by what the old man said, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He should have guessed what the old man thought of a long time ago, but he was obviously planning a deeper purpose.
The old man opposite looked absent-minded. After Yin Zhong's proposal was rejected, he immediately thought of something else. He couldn't help but look up at the old man and said softly: "Master Yue, maybe it is not convenient for us to take action, but since the painter is in our hands, why not use the painter's hand to take the lead."
After hearing Yin Zhong's words, the old man frowned unconsciously, and as he swept over coldly, the breath on his body also changed slightly.
Feeling the subtle tremor of the surrounding spiritual energy and the sudden cold breath coming to his body, Yin Zhong's legs trembled a little, and he immediately explained in fear.
"I am too talkative, I am too talkative, all these matters are decided by Lord Yue. I am just concerned about the development of the affairs of Kuocheng, so I said so nonsense. Forgive me, forgive me!" Yin Zhong's expression was not only respectful, but also full of fear.
Just now, the murderous intent exuded by the old man was a little obscure, but Yin Zhong could clearly capture it, and Yin Zhong had no doubt that the murderous aura released by the old man was what he thought in his heart.
It was precisely because he knew a lot about the old man and the situation in the sect that Yin Zhong had always been particularly respectful and careful, fearing that an accidental mistake would directly cost him his life.
However, although the old man Yin Yue had the intention to kill, he did not really do anything, but at this moment, his eyes looking at the young man were very complicated. It seemed that he was hesitating about something, and it seemed that there were some things that made him temporarily undecided.
Yin Zhong lowered his head. He didn't even dare to raise it, let alone make eye contact with the other party. It was like looking at a wild beast in the forest. It was both a provocation and a signal to trigger a war.
The young man Yin Zhong was very smart. Naturally, he would not make any move at this time. He just stood there quietly, waiting for the old man to calm down.
In fact, Yin Zhong had already understood the old man's condition. Because the space collapsed before, the means of sneaking into the space gap failed, and then he was seriously injured, making him very unstable.
But Yin Zhong also believed that with the old man's identity and experience, the temporary emotional changes would only last for a while, so he was waiting for the old man to return to normal.
"Hey"
He sighed softly, and it could be heard that there was a strong unwillingness in this sigh, as if the whole person's emotions were gradually letting go.
Although the young man still did not change at all, his eyes, looking down at the ground, were slightly closed. In this way, he let himself relax his tense nerves a little.
When the old man sighed heavily, it also meant that he had completely let go of the young man's life. Although the two had a harmonious conversation before, the old man was still hesitating whether to keep the young man.
The reason was actually very simple, because the old man was dissatisfied, dissatisfied with himself being trapped in the predicament at that time, dissatisfied with the harm he suffered, and dissatisfied with the situation developing to the current situation.
But these had nothing to do with the young man Yin Zhong. The real reason why the old man had the intention to kill the young man was that the young man had come here before, but he retreated again cautiously.
Because of this, the old man had been brewing the intention to kill in his heart, but at this moment the old man did not do it after all, because in Kuocheng, the only person he could use, or could use with confidence, was the young man.
After another period of depressing silence, the old man suddenly spoke slowly, but had already changed the topic and asked inexplicably: "Have you ever heard of the Dark Forest Law?"
The young man Yin Zhong had neither heard of it nor felt a little puzzled by the old man's words, but he had slowly raised his head at this time and could not help looking at the old man, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
...
"The Law of the Dark Forest! Did the city lord tell you this? Did you two meet? Why didn't you bring the city lord back?"
Tang Bin, who was lying on the bed, had a puzzled look on his face. Although he looked very weak, his eyes were shining.
Ikali, who was opposite him, saw Tang Bin's appearance at this time and was not happy at all. She understood that Tang Bin's reaction was mainly because Tang Bin got the news from Zuo Feng and was too excited. It was not that his injury had been relieved.
After staring coldly, Ikali reached out and took out a jade bottle, saying: "It's because you are in a hurry to ask, so I don't know where to start for a while. The 'Law of the Dark Forest' was specifically mentioned by the city lord, and we were asked to pass it on to Duan Yueyao. It is also the most important thing for us to pay attention to now."
As she spoke, Ikali had already raised the jade bottle in her hand. The light from the window shining into the room allowed people to clearly see the inky black liquid in the jade bottle.
Looking at the liquid, Tang Bin opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't help saying: "This, this is not the essence of the beast blood of the Nether Clan. You have to use this to heal my wounds."
Nodding, Ikari said seriously: "The Lord City Lord's instructions, are you going to use it or not?"
After a slight surprise, Tang Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to take the jade bottle from Ikari's hand.
