Chapter 696: Uproar

"It seems that the ancient city really has a spirit."

Staring into the void ahead, Wutian muttered, his eyes flickering.

When he saw the ancient city for the first time, he thought it was just a relatively domineering demonic city. Later, Xiao Wuhao analyzed that the ancient city was equivalent to a holy object between the third and fourth levels.

But now it seems that the past speculations and judgments were not very specific. Otherwise, Tongtian Bridge and Tongtiansuo would not attach so much importance to the ancient city.

Taking a step back, which of the ancient artifacts is ordinary?

He casually threw away the hunter medal in his hand. Although this object was extremely hard, it was blessed by divine power and had no practical effect. There was no point in keeping it.

Immediately, Wutian summoned the shadow.

Shadow bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion." Wutian said, his eyes twinkling.

Shadow asked in confusion: "The purpose of your visit is to kill Yuan Hanchi?"

Wutian nodded.

"Haha, just let the subordinates do this. Why bother the young master to do it himself." Shadow said with a smile.

After pondering for a while, Wutian nodded and said: "Okay, I'll tell you where Yuan Hanchi is hiding. Remember, you can't be seen by anyone, especially the woman in white in the Temple of War Merits."

Shadow said confidently: "Young master, don't worry, although the hidden realm only has thirty breaths, one round trip is completely enough."

Wutian frowned and said: "I definitely believe this, but what I am thinking about is, Yuan Hanchi has a small adult level of cultivation, can you kill him with one blow?"

Hearing this, Yingying shook his head and smiled, and said: "Sir, please don't forget that although my cultivation level during my peak period has fallen a lot, after these years of quiet practice, I have almost returned to the stage of minor success. , coupled with the inner fire and hidden realm you gave me, it is not difficult to kill him with one blow. "

"I'm still a little worried, so be it! Take the relic with you and be prepared."

Wutian shook his head, took out the relic, handed it over, and told him again to be careful, and if it didn't work, give up decisively.

Shadow's heart warmed, and without any unnecessary words, he turned around and stepped into the portal, quickly disappearing from Wutian's sight.

Looking at the portal, Wutian's eyes flashed strangely.

From Yuan Doufeng's memory, I learned that this thing is very magical. Not only does it have powerful lethality, it can also automatically distinguish the scent of alien creatures.

In short, as long as there are alien creatures that want to enter the Eastern Region through the portal, the portal will give birth to a terrible destructive force and destroy it.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it has never made a mistake.

Next, Wutian sat cross-legged on the ground and began to look at Yuan Doufeng's memory in detail.

Gradually, he learned many details.

For example, the distinction between hunting king, hunting god, commander, and star-level military merit.

Hunter King is calculated based on 100,000 battle merits. For example, promotion to a one-star Hunting King requires 100,000 battle merits, and a two-star Hunting King requires 200,000 battle merits. By analogy, a person with 900,000 battle merits is a nine-star Hunting King.

The Hunting God is calculated based on one million battle merits.

As for leadership, it is calculated based on tens of millions of military achievements.

In other words, if Wutian wants to reach the nine-star command, he needs to accumulate 90 million battle merits!

"Ninety million battle achievements!" Wutian looked into the distance, his eyes full of helplessness.

A heterogeneous creature only has a little combat merit. If he wants to accumulate 90 million combat merits, he has to kill 90 million alien creatures. This is really a difficult task.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Wutian was startled.

He unexpectedly discovered in Yuan Doufeng's memory that whether he was a hunter, a hunting king, a hunting god or a commander, he could receive his salary from the War Merit Temple once a year.

What surprised Wutian was that the so-called salary was actually elemental essence!

At this moment, his eyes became different, because as long as there is elemental essence, it means that there must be elemental spirit veins in the Eastern Territory.

As for the amount of salary received, it is based on star rating.

For example, a one-star hunter can receive 10,000 elemental essences from the War Merit Temple every year.

It sounds like a lot, but if you really want to squander it, it won't be enough.

Take Wutian as an example. Every time he breaks through a small realm, he needs millions or even tens of millions of essence, let alone fine energy.

In terms of value, ten thousand elemental essences are equivalent to one essence. In other words, a one-star hunter only gets one essence per year.

Wutian shook his head and filtered out the question directly.

For him, the meager salary from the War Merits Temple was simply not something he could take seriously, but it was the elemental spirit veins of the Eastern Region that he was quite interested in.

"It seems that while accumulating military exploits, there is another task." Wutian muttered, no amount of such rare treasures as spiritual veins is too much, and if there is a chance, he will definitely not let it go.

However, Wutian knew that the spiritual veins of the Eastern Territory were related to the survival of hundreds of millions of creatures in the Eastern Territory. They must be controlled by some powerful people, such as the Jiao Emperor and the Four Great Saints. It was not an easy task to get hold of them.

Just when Wutian was reading Yuan Doufeng's memory in detail, Beixuan City exploded.

In mid-air, on the streets of the city, there are city guards wearing armor everywhere, wandering and patrolling!

They even closed all the city gates, only allowed in but not allowed out, as if a powerful enemy was approaching!

The reason for all this was precisely because Yuan Hanchi, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, was killed without anyone noticing, and he died in the City Lord's Mansion!

Once this matter was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar in Beixuan City!

How dare someone dare to commit murder in the city lord's mansion?

This not only shocked everyone speechless, but even the two city lords and law enforcers would not have believed it was true if they had not seen Yuan Hanchi's body in front of them.

Whether it is Beixuan City or the other four major cities, there are clear regulations that do not allow fighting with each other in the city.

Moreover, this rule was issued by the Four Saints.

As soon as this regulation came out, for hundreds of thousands of years, there has never been a fight in the five major cities, let alone a murder, and the murder was in the city lord's mansion!

This is simply a blatant challenge to the majesty of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is also a blasphemy to the power of the Four Saints.

The most important thing is that no one saw the true face of the perpetrator.

Even during the whole process, there was no sound at all. A city guard went to find Yuan Hanchi for something, only to find out that he had been killed.

Therefore, the two city lords were furious and sealed Beixuan City. They ordered all city guards to strictly guard the city and not let anyone go. Before the murderer was found, Beixuan City could only enter but not leave.

They also sent out all the law enforcers to find out what Yuan Hanchi had done recently and who he had interacted with. In short, they would not let go of any clues.

As a result, anyone who had been involved with Yuan Hanchi would be taken away by law enforcement for questioning. Unfortunately, the real culprit was never found.

Who is the perpetrator?

This doubt lingers in everyone's mind.

Likewise, this matter has become a topic of chat among people in the world for a long time.

In War Zone No. 1, near the portal, Wutian and Shadow stood opposite each other.

Shadow cupped his hands and said: "Sir, I lived up to my expectations. My subordinates successfully completed the task. And before leaving, I also found something very interesting in a secret compartment."

After saying that, Shadow took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it over together with the hunter's ring.

Putting the hunter's ring on his finger, Wutian took the letter and looked at it for a moment. Power surged and was crushed directly into ashes, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

The content on the letter is the true identity of him and Gu Tian and others, and it is also very detailed.

Yuan Hanchi's purpose of leaving this information was known without even thinking about it. It was just in case, but he never thought that he would be discovered by the shadow.

Shadow frowned and said, "Sir, if these evidences are gone, it doesn't necessarily mean that we are completely safe."

Wutian said: "I know that the two city lords and law enforcers are definitely not simple people. Sooner or later, they will doubt us because of the relationship between Yuan Doufeng and Yuan Hanchi. However, without conclusive evidence, suspicion is just suspicion. , they don’t dare to do anything to me.”

"It seems that everything is under the master's control. It's my subordinates who are worrying too much." Shadow said with a smile.

"No, if you hadn't discovered the letter, I'm afraid this time would have been really unlucky!"

Wutian thought for a while, took out a forbidden talisman, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is the intermediate holy forbidden land Luo Tianxiang. You can take it to understand! It is a reward for you."

"Thank you, sir." Shadow was pleasantly surprised. He quickly took the forbidden talisman, thanked him, and looked at it with clear eyes.

In fact, what pleased him the most was that the young master gave him the forbidden talisman to comprehend, which proved that the young master had completely trusted him.

"kindness."

Wutian nodded, and with a thought, he sent the shadow into the star world, then glanced meaningfully at the portal, turned around, and flew away into the depths of War Zone No. 1.

Along the way, he was highly focused and did not dare to be distracted at all.

The creature he was guarding against was naturally not a strange creature.

In War Zone No. 1, to others, alien creatures are the biggest enemies, but in Wutian's heart, Gongsun Haoshu and others are the real ones to guard against.

These guys are many times scarier than those intelligent creatures. If you are not careful, you may fall into their hands.

Finally, after galloping a hundred thousand miles, Wutian saw his first alien creature.

It was an incomplete broken sword with mottled ancient marks, but it was blood-red all over, as if it was bathed in blood. It was dangling aimlessly on the ground in front of it.

Moreover, in the Broken Sword, Wutian also sensed a very violent mental fluctuation, as well as various negative emotions.

Moreover, these negative emotions pointed directly at his heart, seeming to assimilate him.

Suddenly, Broken Sword discovered the existence of Wutian. Without any hesitation, with a sonorous sound, he decisively broke through the void and slashed away at Wutian!
