Chapter 1954

On the spacious road on the third floor, accompanied by the sound of careful footsteps, Gu Zheng and Mrs. Xue walked at the front, leading a dozen or so energetic guards behind them, walking forward unhurriedly, rows on both sides. A similar-looking mansion, if you ignore the slightly gloomy environment, it would seem like you are walking in a normal city.

After a short rest, Gu Zheng and Mrs. Xue, who had finished preparing, rushed to the location of the alliance leader in advance.

Turning her head to look at Mrs. Xue, the motherly tenderness that she had seen before, the closeness with her friends, the majesty and tenacity that she had seen before were no longer on her face, because she was no longer a mother. and friends' characters, representing the forces behind her, now renamed Snow City.

During the previous fluctuations and wars, the strength of his husband and her had also been greatly affected. The city she was in was destroyed. The current strength has been reduced by half, from medium to low.

The melee this time reduced the strength of the Soul Alliance by 30%. Many demon souls and humans died in this civil war. This is why the most powerful alliance leader had to issue an alliance order. His people also suffered a lot of losses. If this continues, I am afraid that without anyone else taking action, I will suffer almost the same losses.

This battle came without warning, but on the surface it seemed to be a conflict between different parties, but in fact it was a competition for resources, because many soul stone mines near here have withered, and in some unexploited places, others have There is no way to get involved, and of course there are some grudges involved.

Of course, these are just incentives. The bigger reason is that there are fewer new people coming. In fact, as Yaohun and Lone Peak have tightened their control over the people below, there are also fewer and fewer new people, causing tension here. stand up.

These are some of the things that Gu Zheng has roughly understood in just a few hours, but Madam Xue and the others don't understand why it happened so suddenly, like a spark that started a prairie fire, and spread to the entire Soul Alliance. It can only be traced back to the demon soul. Damn it.

"What? Do you have any questions?" Feeling Gu Zheng's gaze, Mrs. Xue turned around and smiled slightly.

"Have you talked about it before? Can this competition still be held under such circumstances?" Gu Zheng pondered for a moment before asking.

"I don't know. Except for the first day I came here, when I went to meet the president, I have never seen him before, and I don't know what he is up to. A friend I have a good relationship with also works with me. Same, I only met each other once," Mrs. Xue said, shaking her head.

"I hope that in this turbulent moment, the Soul Alliance can put aside their past grudges and get through this time. I can be sure that the other party has surrounded this place. I don't know why you didn't notice it at all." Gu Zheng sincerely hopes that the other party will not fall so fast. But there was also some confusion. Everyone was ready to take action, but there was no reaction at all.

"I don't know, but when I came, I specially asked people to search for it. Even Miss Pan Xuan went out and found nothing. It's really strange."

Mrs. Xue also had doubts in her eyes, so the Soul Alliance didn't believe this information at all. Instead, they thought it was some troublemakers secretly sabotaging it, and they even asked someone to bring her the news, the news they checked.

"It's really weird." Gu Zheng also muttered, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Mrs. Xue, why did this time come so quickly? There is still some time before it starts."

At this time, from a mansion on the side, as the door opened, a middle-aged man with an eagle nose and big eyes walked out, with shawl long hair. As soon as he came out, he saw Mrs. Xue and his group who were about to arrive at the door, and laughed enthusiastically. He said hello.

"My husband used to be a good friend, and he was a pretty good person." Mrs. Xue whispered to Gu Zheng, then raised her hand, and the team stopped happily.

"It's not like I have nothing to do and I want to go there early. Don't you think so too, Lord Bu?"

"It seems that we have the same idea, but there are people who have gone ahead of time and are more anxious than us."

City Lord Bu came out, followed by more than a dozen guards. Each one was very imposing and wore a layer of black armor. Except for some different patterns, it was exactly the same as what the guards behind Madam Xue wore. It was also a unique armor of the Soul Alliance. , the defense is not weak.

However, beside City Lord Bu, there was also a petite woman, wearing a red tight-fitting leather armor. Among the inconspicuous seams on it, there was a faint red flame flowing, wrapping the other person's somewhat flat figure, it seemed Like an underdeveloped girl.

But that face is quite eye-catching.

"What are you looking at!" The girl felt Gu Zheng's gaze, especially the deep trace of regret, and a sensitive nerve in her heart suddenly jumped up, and she shouted at Gu Zheng.

The latter smiled and ignored the other party. This girl knew that she was from the demon clan at a glance, but it seemed that her mind was not fully mature yet and she didn't know what happened to come here.

"Why don't you speak? Do you have a problem with me?" The girl shouted from the side again, her mouth puffed up, which was a little cute.

"Don't be rude, Platycodon grandiflorum." City Lord Bu shouted seriously, but it could be seen that he didn't mean to blame him.

"I know!" Kikyo said with some dissatisfaction, still staring at Gu Zheng.

What made Gu Zheng pay more attention was that the opponent's wrists were tied with two pendants with red ropes. They were two weapons no bigger than a little finger. They were narrow at the back and wide in the middle. The lead was as curved as a crescent moon. There were waves of strong blows. breath.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was paying attention to his hands, Kikyo directly held them in his hands, not letting Gu Zheng observe at all.

"Haha." Gu Zheng smiled silently, but he knew that the other party could follow the Lord of Fortune, so his status was naturally extraordinary.

"Mrs. Xue, why don't we go together? I am very interested in the warning you made before, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart. However, I came all the way and went out personally without finding any traces. I originally wanted to get there and followed You chatted, and we met on the road unexpectedly. "

After a few chats between City Lord Bu and Madam Xue, Lord Bu put forward her own suggestion, and Madam Xue naturally agreed.

The two teams merged together, each occupying half of the position, lengthening the team a bit.

The two in front were Mrs. Some of Gu Zheng's bad actions angered the other party.

The guards who followed behind him were silent and did not talk to the people next to them. They were clearly separate from each other.

Gu Zheng was relaxed and happy, listening to the two of them discussing some matters between the soul alliances, some opinions on external matters, and he also roughly knew some of the relationships between the forces of the soul alliances.

After half a day's work, they came to an obviously very grand mansion. There were no buildings around the mansion for hundreds of feet, and the area was several times larger than before.

Outside the equally huge gate, people from the Soul Alliance were already waiting to receive them, leading everyone in.

The guards they brought also went in together, but they would gather in another place, while Gu Zheng and the others entered a spacious hall.

The entire hall is composed of two red wooden chairs and a red table in the middle, forming a rectangle, arranged in sequence.

When they entered, there were already people inside, not just one or two, plus at least half of them were there.

Gu Zheng saw some people nodding slightly at them, giving them cold looks, and being nonchalant. Just from this, Gu Zheng knew that the relationship here was really complicated.

"You are here early, please take a seat! The seats have been arranged. Please wait patiently. We will start again after everyone has arrived." At this time, a man standing above, wearing black clothes, looked a little Evil spirit, he said to Mrs. Xue and the others.

Only then did Gu Zheng realize that there was a small stone tablet on the table below, with different names engraved on it. Mrs. Xue's name was on the second to last one below, and the Lord of Divination was on the opposite side in the middle. Location.

The order of seats is simply the order of current strength, which is clear at a glance.

Moreover, Gu Zheng also found that almost every city lord had someone sitting beside him. If he guessed correctly, these people were probably the main force participating in the battle. Every aura was above Daluo, and even some city lords My own cultivation level is higher than those who have not brought it.

However, when Gu Zheng took a closer look, it seemed that those with high cultivation levels were demon souls. Under normal circumstances, the probability of other people with high cultivation levels to completely surrender to the city lord was very small. At most, they would be affiliated with the other party's name. Like this The person who can be brought in must be a close confidant.

Moreover, there are two groups of people here who both want demon souls. It seems that they are the demon soul forces in the Soul Alliance.

"Master Wang, of course I understand." Mrs. Xue bowed slightly and replied, then led Gu Zheng to sit where they were.

"That Lord Wang is a close confidant of the alliance leader. He has a very high status. It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Lord Luo has great trust in him." As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Xue said to Gu Zheng.

"Why is the other party's aura so weird? Could it be that he is a demon soul?" Gu Zheng asked the same question. The other party's aura was very similar.

"Yes, and no, the other party fell to this point in order to protect Lord Luo when he was fighting for Master Luo. Otherwise, Master Luo would have died that time. His end was very tragic. Fortunately, he was rescued with all his strength, but he still Infected by the aura of the demon soul, his cultivation level is even lower than that of a heavenly being. It can be said that he is the most trusted by Lord Luo." Mrs. Xue said briefly, letting Gu Zheng understand the other party's status.

"Master Luo shouldn't be the one who founded the Soul Alliance, right?" Gu Zheng nodded, looking at the man standing up straight above him from the corner of his eye, and asked again.

"Yes, the first two alliance leaders have disappeared. I don't know why. Lord Luo is the third one. He still has the ability, but lacks prestige. If the previous alliance leaders were here, the Soul Alliance would not be like this. It feels like it is falling apart." Xue The lady said with a sigh.

"Two adults, please use it slowly!"

At this time, a young maid came up from the side, interrupted the conversation between the two people, and brought them each a cup of fragrant tea. A few light green tea leaves were undulating slightly in the hot tea cup.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous leaves. They are really precious here. I am afraid that only the major city lords will have a little bit. Gu Zheng knows that even Huahun is reluctant to use them. Their stock is only one cup per person. Neither is enough.

"There is no one in your family anymore. I thought you wouldn't come. It's so easy for anyone to enter here."

Before the maid could leave from the side, a strange and sinister voice suddenly came from the side, directly attacking Mrs. Xue.

Gu Zheng didn't need to turn his head to see the table of people behind Mrs. Xue. One of them pointed here and said disdainfully that based on the strength of the opponent, there should be no one lower than them.

In this quiet hall, his voice was unusually loud and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I'm not wrong. I speak out my personal opinions and thoughts boldly. No matter how strong everyone is in general, as city lords, we must at least convince everyone with our strength. But now, one of them is only at the Golden Immortal Peak. In addition, Someone who was once more powerful than me, but now, can be ignored, is still worthy of the position of city lord, come and discuss the same room with us. "

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, he stood up and shook his head while talking.

Although he did not point at Mrs. Xue at the moment, everyone knew what he meant, and every word pointed at Mrs. Xue.

"Why are you crazy now, Lord Fan? Lord Luo didn't come, so you want to do something. Even if Madam's cultivation is not enough, her background is not comparable to yours. You must have suffered heavy losses this time. You thought you saw an advantage." Ke Zhan, the result was a broken tooth.”

Before Mrs. Xue could speak, Lord Bu, who had just sat down and was talking to the person next to him, stood up and sarcastically said to him.

In fact, everyone knows that the other party is in this situation, and it is his own fault. At the beginning of the chaos, he gathered his subordinates and took advantage of the chaos to attack Mrs. Xue's forces. Who made him have a grudge against Mrs. Xue's husband? The kind with great hatred.

The only difference is that his miscalculation was that he did take advantage of it at the beginning. After tasting a lot of benefits, he was about to launch an all-out attack on the opponent. However, Madam Xue came back and went straight over. The opponent was beaten to pieces. If Mrs. Xue didn't want to kill him, he would have died directly at Pan Xuan's hands.

However, Pan Xuan's origins are unknown and she doesn't know the roots, so she cannot enter the core circle of the Soul Alliance. Even in this event, she cannot participate. This is why Pan Xuan does not go out here.

"City Master Bu, I respect you as a man, but am I wrong? You rely on the strength of outsiders to stand here, how can you not be questioned." City Master Fan came prepared, and he had this in his heart The response plan is to tell the facts directly.

Having said this, many people still glanced at Mrs. Xue and became a little more alert. After all, they relied on the reputation of their husband and wife in the past to support their reputation. In fact, there were no masters in their own power.

In the past, when they were around, there was no need for others to share their rights, but now, the power the other party possesses cannot match hers.

However, there seems to be a mysterious force behind her. It may be the secret force left behind by the person in order to prevent this kind of affection. After all, it is impossible for the other party to leave some back-ups to deal with some troubles.

"Of course, I don't mean to kill them all, nor do I say to drive them out of the Soul Alliance. After all, we have been together for so long. Let's put the other party outside the Soul Alliance for the time being. When the other party has the strength, we will welcome them back. They must stay away from the Soul Alliance," City Master Fan said with a high voice.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle came out.

"Who is it? Stand up openly and don't say anything to your face. Everything is for our soul alliance." City Master Fan looked around and said loudly without noticing who it was.

"That's what I said." Following the voice, a woman walked in from outside, "I didn't expect that just after I came here, I saw a good show. You humans and monsters are only fighting among themselves."

Gu Zheng turned his head and looked over. A woman wearing a black scarf, covering her face, was walking in from outside. Next to him was a fat man with a big body and a crying face. He looked very ferocious, but this time He stood behind the woman very honestly.

"If you just fancy something about the other person and say it openly, who would despise you? It's just that you are not afraid of the snake swallowing the elephant and strenghting yourself to death." The woman looked at City Master Fan's eyes and said with disdain.

"I'm thinking about our soul alliance, not for my own personal gain." Here City Master Fan said without blushing or heartbeat.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to ask you questions. If you say it's a soul alliance, let's just be a soul alliance. I don't want to get involved, lest anyone say I broke the rules." The woman nodded slightly to show respect to Mr. Wang, and then She said something to him and walked directly to her seat.

It was a seat near the front, with only two empty seats in front of her.

However, Gu Zheng knew that the woman's identity was a demon soul, and she had the strength of the late Da Luo, and should not be underestimated.

"You" City Master Fan wanted to say something, but when he saw the other person's back, he didn't continue to say anything. He seemed to be a little afraid of her.

"What are you doing? Sit down quickly. Neither Mr. Wang nor Mr. Luo spoke. You want to exercise the rights of the leader." Another person below, sitting opposite the Lord of Divination, also said.

"How dare you? I'm just suggesting that you don't blame me for my own opinions." City Master Fan quickly glanced at Mr. Wang and retorted when he saw that the latter showed no sign of boredom.

He was self-aware, and even if the alliance leader position was given to him, he would not dare to sit on it, because he was afraid that he would not die quickly enough.

"City Lord Fan didn't say anything. He said it at first, but you, why do you feel that you are making a fuss out of a molehill and slandering a City Lord who dares to speak out like this?"

On the other side, a different voice spoke, making the chaotic situation alleviate and become unstable again.

Mr. Wang, who was above, just looked below with his inhuman eyes, as if he didn't notice the conflict caused below at all.

He didn't care, didn't ask, and despite the noise below, no one knew what he was thinking.
