Three Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Turn Face

The black-skinned barbarian raised his hand and waved, and several winged cranes immediately dispersed and walked towards various parts of the inn.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the originally dark buildings were lit up with bright lights at this moment, brightly illuminating the City Lord's Mansion.

"Both of you, please go inside, the reception banquet is ready." The old man in black robe led Zhong Xiu and Ling Du into the mansion.

Along the way, the garden rockery was elegantly arranged, and the old man introduced it to the two eloquently with a smile, and walked towards it without stopping.

Zhong Xiu's expression was flat, her beautiful eyes looked around from time to time, and the vigilance in her eyes never faded.

"Miss Zhong, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yunyang is a good friend, and he won't have any bad intentions." Ling Du's lips moved slightly, and Chuanyin and Zhong Xiu said.

"Be careful in everything." Zhong Xiu glanced at Ling Fu and replied via voice transmission.

The old man in black robe walked in front, talking to himself, as if he didn't see the communication between the two behind him.

The three of them walked through two corridors and came to a spacious living room. In the center of the hall was a round table filled with sumptuous gourmet dishes.

At this moment, there was already a woman in red sitting at the round table, if Shi Mu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this woman as Liu An's junior sister, the woman surnamed Zhen.

Zhong Xiu and Ling Fu were slightly taken aback when they saw the woman surnamed Zhen.

"You two, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The woman surnamed Zhen stood up, with a sweet smile on her face, and said hello to Zhong Xiu and Ling Fu.

"Hehe, this is Fellow Daoist Zhen. He is a member of the Mingyue Sect and a friend of this old man. He happened to be in Yunyi City, so we invited them over together. You two won't mind?" said the old man in black robe.

"Of course not." Ling Fu laughed quickly, and nodded friendly to the woman surnamed Zhen.

Zhong Xiu sized up the woman surnamed Zhen, but said nothing.

"Please sit down, both of you. These dishes are special products of the Winged Crane Mountain Range. They have been carefully prepared by the chefs in this house, and they cannot be eaten in other places!" The black-robed old man said enthusiastically.

Several people were seated separately, the old man in black robe and Ling Du were good at communication, and the woman surnamed Zhen also spoke up from time to time, and the atmosphere quickly became lively as the wine was mixed.

In the corner of the garden outside the living room, in a shadow, Shi Mu stood there motionless.

Cai'er's see-through ability allowed him to have a clear view of the situation and what happened in the living room.

"Shitou, what should we do now?" Cai'er asked.

"This old man invited Zhong Xiu and the others here, and he must have malicious intentions. You and I will investigate separately first, and then make plans." Shi Mu pondered for a moment, glanced around, and said.

Cai'er agreed, and flew towards the distance with her wings fluttering.

Shi Mu also lurked towards the other side.

In the hall, the wine went through three rounds.

"City Master Yunyang, the food and drink have already been used. I don't know where the goods you mentioned are, let's go and have a look first." Zhong Xiu said.

She barely ate, and she didn't even touch the wine glass in front of her.

"Hehe, what Miss Zhong said is true." The old man in black robe smiled and stood up.

"Goods?" the woman surnamed Zhen asked curiously.

"Yes, the old man has a batch of goods to sell, so he invited Miss Zhong to come over and take a look. Is Daoist Zhen interested in coming over together." The black-robed old man said.

"Since Yunyang City is mainly engaged in business, it is inconvenient for the little girl to go together. Thank you for hosting a banquet today, little girl will leave." The girl surnamed Zhen smiled, cupped her hands at the few people present, and said.

The old man in black robe sent the woman surnamed Zhen to the door, and the figure of the woman surnamed Zhen walked out quickly.

"You two, please follow me." The black-robed old man said to Zhong Xiu and the two, and walked in a direction beside the hall.

After turning a few turns, the three of them came to a remote attic building, surrounded by a faint black light curtain.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiu frowned, and for some reason, she had a vague premonition.

"This is the place where the old man stores important things, so a barrier formation is set up outside." The black-robed old man explained.

At the same time, he flipped his hand and took out a black token, muttering something in his mouth.

The light of the token flashed, and a black light burst out, submerging into the black light curtain.

The black light curtain flashed, and a portal slowly opened.

Zhong Xiu's consciousness came out through his body, and he explored the black light curtain for a while, his eyes relaxed slightly.

She also has a certain understanding of the formation method. This black ban is a defensive ban, and has no other attack functions.

"Two, please." The old man in black robe said as he pushed open the attic door and walked in.

Zhong Xiu and Ling Fu followed up.

When the old man in black heard the footsteps behind him, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared without a trace.

There is quite a lot of space in the attic, but the inside is very empty, there are no tables, chairs, benches, etc. There are more than a dozen shelves in the center of the room, and the outside is covered by a layer of gray cloth, so you can't see what's going on inside.

Zhong Xiu's eyes lit up, and she walked quickly to a shelf, and stretched out her hand to lift off the gray cloth covering it.

However, the shelf is indeed empty, there is nothing there.

The smile on Zhong Xiu's face froze immediately, and he turned to look at the old man in black robe.

The old man in black robe stood aside with a smile on his face, but he had no intention of explaining.

At this moment, Lingto also lifted the gray cloth on a wooden frame, and the bottom was also empty.

"Fellow Daoist Yunyang, what do you mean?" Ling Du said with a serious face.

The old man in black robe still smiled without saying a word.

"not good!"

Zhong Xiu's face changed, and with a wave of the staff in his hand, a white light flew out, turning into a huge light blade, and slashed at the head of the black-robed old man.

The old man in black robe didn't dodge at all, his body was cut in half by the light blade.

It's just that the two halves of the body immediately turned into a burst of black smoke with a "bang" sound, and quickly dispersed in the air.

"It's an illusion!" Ling Fu's face changed drastically, and he was stunned for a moment.

"We've been tricked! Let's go!" Zhong Xiu let out a low voice, and swept towards the entrance of the attic.

Ling Fu also reacted in an instant, and the two of them turned into two rays of light, shooting towards the outside.

But at this moment, the attic door suddenly closed with a "click".

The black light curtain outside also automatically closed, covering the entire attic again.

The bodies of Zhong Xiu and Ling Fu were lit up with white and blue lights almost at the same time.

With a bang, the attic door was shattered, and two rays of light, one white and one blue, struck the black light curtain fiercely.

The black light curtain trembled violently, rippled like water waves, but it still endured.

Outside the light curtain, the old man in black robe stood with his hands behind his back, with a smug smile on his face.

Beside the old man, a dozen or so members of the Winged Crane tribe appeared at some point, chanting words, emitting streaks of black light from their hands, which merged into the black light curtain, and the black light curtain quickly stabilized again.

Not only that, patterns of eight humanoid animal heads slowly emerged on the surface of the light curtain.

These monsters looked strange and fierce, like eight devils, wandering around the surface of the light curtain.

Inside the light curtain.

A glaring blue light flew out from the attic, brilliant and dazzling, and made a scream that could pierce eardrums.

In the blue light is a blue long spear, which pierces the light curtain with lightning speed.

The tip of the spear pierced the light curtain for more than half a foot, then stopped, and it was difficult to move forward any more.

On the surface of the light curtain, among the eight monsters, a monster with a human body and a sheep's head flashed red eyes, and a red light flew out of its mouth, bombarding the blue spear.

The cyan spear was shocked, and it was sent flying back.

At the door of the attic, Ling Du's expression changed, and with a single move, the blue spear flew back into his hand.

The eight monsters on the light curtain became more and more clear, as if they were about to leave the light curtain.

"Yunyang, what do you mean?" Ling Du's face was particularly ugly, staring at the black-robed old man outside the light curtain, and said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean? Hahaha... It's ridiculous. Even now, don't you understand?" The black-robed old man laughed wildly, without any trace of kindness on his face, and looked at Ling Tu sarcastically.

Ling Du's face was extremely ugly, and his body trembled with anger.

"You tried your best to lure us here because you want to kill us and plunder our escorted supplies?" Zhong Xiu said coldly, looking at the eight devil patterns on the light curtain.

"Haha, Miss Zhong is still the smartest." The black-robed old man laughed.

"Your Excellency has offended the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce by doing so, aren't you worried about the consequences?" Zhong Xiu asked coldly.

"Since we have decided to do it, we are naturally fully prepared, so we don't need Miss Zhong to worry about it." The black-robed old man smiled.

Zhong Xiumei's eyes flashed, her pink face was like ice, but one hand was behind her back, holding a piece of purple jade slip, with streaks of purple light glowing on it.

The purple light lit up for a moment and then went out immediately.

Zhong Xiuxiu frowned slightly, and tightly held the palm of the jade slip. The purple light on it lit up again, but immediately went out again.

"Hehe, you don't need to try, Ms. Zhong. The formation that traps you is called the Hei'er Taizang Great Formation, and it is impossible to send a message from it." The black-robed old man laughed.

Zhong Xiu's expression finally sank.

"Besides, those of you who stayed in the inn have already been dealt with, and now there is probably a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood." The black-robed old man laughed loudly.

When Zhong Xiu and Ling Tou heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"It's that woman just now, you guys colluded with the Mingyue Sect!" Zhong Xiu's thoughts changed suddenly, and she lost her voice.

"Your Daoist Zhong is really sharp, and your guess is right. But right now, you should be concerned about your own situation!" The black-robed old man laughed.

...

As Mo Yunyang said, today's inn is already a battlefield, with shouts, fierce battles, and loud noises of houses collapsing.

In the courtyard, the only remaining guards of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce formed a circle with their backs against the convoy, and all of them were wounded.

Surrounding them are countless undead creatures, skeletons, carrion corpses, and zombies, rushing up like a tide.

Outside the courtyard, a space passage with a radius of three feet opened in the void, which was pitch black and deep.

Above the door of space, a woman surnamed Zhen stepped on a black cloud, her eyes were shining, and she was chanting words.

Around this woman, there were also a few figures in gray robes standing, they were the former subordinates of the woman surnamed Zhen.

Several people also chanted spells in their mouths, and waved their hands to shoot rays of light into the space channel, seeming to maintain the stability of the channel. (To be continued.)
