Chapter 769

The princess had prepared three Sumeru objects for him, a Wu Shi card, a jade pendant, and a pendant.

When he was in the battle at Heishan Mansion, he was in a hurry and handed the pendant and the things inside it to the princess.

So now he only has a Wu Shi card and a jade pendant! The space inside the jade pendant is slightly smaller, but it can also hold many things, and the Wu Shi card is the largest! It is also the one he uses most!

Yun Chi took the jade pendant and played with it carefully for a while, and then handed it back reluctantly, "It's too precious! You should use it yourself!"

Although she was young, she also knew the preciousness of such Sumeru objects. In her family, only a few people can own such things.

"I still have some here, and I have more at home! Besides, I give this thing to you so that you can pack your luggage. Carrying a bag is too eye-catching!" Xu Dao threw the jade pendant back to Yun Chi.

Xumi objects may be precious to others, but to Xu Dao... they are nothing. It's just that he has been separated from the princess and the others now, otherwise he can take out a lot of them in a minute!

If all the Kongming Mountain in the blessed land is made into Xumi objects, how many would it be!

Yun Chi saw that Xu Dao didn't seem to be pretending, so he picked up the jade pendant, played with it for a while, and then tied it around his waist carefully! But then he took it off with some worry and hung it around his neck.

"It's still a while before dark, you stay here and don't run around, I'll go out for a walk!" Xu Dao looked at the sky and decided to go out for a walk.

Yun Chi nodded, "Don't worry, I won't run around! But when will you be back?"

"Before dark!"

Xu Dao came out of his residence and began to roughly explore the entire Human King City. Moreover, he soon found something unusual.

Logically speaking, in such a big city, the safest place is naturally around the Human King Palace. The residents around the Human King Palace should be densely populated. Even though this place is located in the center and the land price is high, it is not as sparsely populated and looks poor and dilapidated as Xu Dao sees now.

This is very unreasonable. Even if you observe carefully, you can find that the mansions and courtyards are more densely populated near the city wall. This is completely opposite to the situation outside.

Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily fell on the towering Human King Palace and the towering platform in the Human King Palace.

As expected, there is something strange about this Human King Palace, which can even make the people in the city avoid it!

...

"Do you know? That day was peaceful, and then it started again!" A person lowered his voice to the person next to him.

"Is someone missing again?"

"Yeah!"

"I thought that after that day, the situation would get better! Now it seems that there is no hope!" The man shook his head, looking disappointed.

"I've been here for so many years, I'm used to it! Why are you so disappointed!"

...

Xu Dao stood not far away, looking unconcerned, but in fact he had already remembered these words in his heart.

And this was not an isolated case. He had heard similar words several times while walking around the city.

One of the common points was that someone was missing, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the Human King's Palace! This was very strange!

When the people in the city talked about the Human King's Palace, they were not as awed as Xu Dao expected. After all, the two beings there could be said to be the greatest contributors to the human race's ability to defeat the demon race so far. Whether it was the Human King or the High Priest, they should receive the gratitude of all human beings.

If one or two people were resentful because of some things, it would be fine, after all, people's hearts were complicated, but when the number of such people became extremely large, it would be very wrong.

When the people in the city talked about the Human King's Palace, Xu Dao noticed that they were more afraid!

Afraid? What are they afraid of? Afraid of the High Priest, or the sleeping Human King?

If it was the former, what did the high priest do to make people so scared? If it was the latter... the Human King was asleep, why should they be afraid?

Moreover, from what he had heard before, this Human King did not seem to be a tyrannical person. On the contrary, his character was the most gentle and kind, wise and brave, and he could be called a model of a human ruler!

In comparison, even the Emperor of Dali in the outside world might not be able to compare with this Human King! He was able to save the world from collapse, and he was able to practice benevolence and love the people under his rule. If not everyone said so, Xu Dao would really doubt the authenticity of this statement.

After all, this description... looks like an ancient sage, the reincarnation of the Human King!

So, they are afraid of the high priest?

That's not right! He had seen the high priest before, not only had he seen him, but he had also fought side by side with him and had a drink after the war. Although the contact time was not long, Xu Dao did not think he was a bad person!

Unless his disguise was something that even Xu Dao could not see through, but this possibility was extremely small!

It's not that Xu Dao has a golden eye and can tell good from evil at a glance, but his intuition tells him that he doesn't look like a bad person!

And if he is really a bad person, why didn't Yun Chi say it? Yun Chi can really tell good from evil and judge fortune and misfortune!

The sunset gradually fell, and as the sky became darker, the human king's palace gradually sank into darkness. Xu Dao looked at the huge palace city and was lost in thought for a while!

When he came to his senses, there was only the last ray of afterglow in the sky. Xu Dao no longer hesitated and went straight back to his residence.

"You are finally back, it's getting dark!"

As soon as Xu Dao reached the door, Yun Chi pulled her into the house and quickly closed the door, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The aunt just told me that I should close the doors and windows at night and not go out. The lights should be on all night long in the house and should not be extinguished! She brought us candles and oil lamps!" Yun Xiao pointed to a pile of things on the table.

Xu Dao nodded, flicked his finger, and lit the oil lamp. The originally dark room was suddenly enveloped in a faint green light!

"Um?"

Xu Dao looked at the color of the oil lamp and was stunned for a moment, "This lamp..."

Yun Chi also looked surprised and waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't know, I haven't touched the one my aunt gave me!"

"I didn't say you moved!" Xu Dao stepped forward to the table and lit another candle, and sure enough, the color of the candle was also a faint green!

At the same time, a strange fragrance began to fill the room, and Xu Dao suddenly said, "Hold your breath!"

Hearing this, Yun Chi immediately raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, but Xu Dao did not react at all. After waiting for a while, Xu Dao waved his hand, "It's okay, put it down! You can breathe!"

He tried it. Although the fragrance was weird and the color of the lights was weird, they were not harmful to humans and had no hallucinogenic effect. His martial arts intuition did not give any warning because of this!
