Chapter 497 Intrigue
Chen Zimo, in the battlefield outside the domain, obtained the array inheritance of the ancient Mo family and became the top array master. His array made Liefeng City impregnable and was known as the most defensive city in the East Wilderness, which no one could break.
Luo Gang told Xu Hei all this information without reservation.
"Chen Zimo? Mo family?" Xu Hei's eyes flickered.
In Huangfu Duanlong's memory, there was indeed information about the ancient Mo family, which was one of the most valuable inheritances in the battlefield outside the domain.
In order to fight for the inheritance of the Mo family, I don't know how much blood and rain it caused. Xu Hei remembered the location, which was at the junction of the East Wilderness and the Central Plains.
Did Chen Zimo really obtain the inheritance of the Mo family? Xu Hei expressed doubt.
"Master Chen has been missing for more than a year. I am worried that he will be targeted and forcibly abducted, but even Skynet does not know his whereabouts." Luo Gang sighed.
Xu Hei did not respond.
He did not have the hobby of helping people find people. He just casually dealt with a few cups and said goodbye.
In fact, Xu Hei was only an incarnation when he came to the banquet.
After Xu Hei left, Luo Gang asked drunkenly: "Ding Yi, what do you think of this person? Do you want to invite him in?"
"This person is quite powerful, ruthless, and very hidden. I'm afraid he is not a good person." Ding Yi was also drunk and responded in a daze.
"Don't worry, Wang Xiu is more difficult than him. Didn't he join us? Take your time, I believe in him." Luo Gang took another big sip of wine.
…………
Xu Hei returned to the cave.
This is the best cave in Liefeng City. Only the core high-level people can live there. It is located in the center of the city and the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.
As soon as Xu Hei walked to the door of the cave, he saw a black shadow emerging from a corner of the wall. It was a masked monk.
"Hydra?" Xu Hei looked at the masked monk in front of him.
At the banquet, he naturally heard Luo Gang mention Hydra.
The masked monk looked around and said, "Friend Xu, can we move over and talk?"
Xu Hei nodded, and immediately entered the cave, closed the door, and at the same time, he put up the formation flag and carved the formation.
The masked monk took out a formation plate made of the bones of a nine-headed snake and pressed it on the ground. In an instant, a stream of sticky black mist gushed out of the formation plate and enveloped them.
If it was an outsider, Xu Hei would not let him do this, but he knew who was in front of him.
An acquaintance in the Penglai Sea, the Nine-headed Insect.
"Chen Zimo's formation is too overbearing, and only by doing this can we prevent being eavesdropped." The Nine-headed Insect sighed.
He took off his mask and revealed his true appearance. It was one of the Nine-headed Insect's head clones. It was his eighth clone who was best at hiding.
"Xu Hei, the water in Liefeng City is too deep. If you don't have absolute strength, you'd better leave as soon as possible." The Nine-headed Insect said solemnly.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Xu Hei said in surprise.
"Chen Zimo, you should know."
"I know, the missing formation master of Liefeng City, what happened to him?" Xu Hei asked.
Jiu Tou Chong took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and said: "To be honest, I found out through investigation that Chen Zimo secretly escaped from Liefeng City."
"What?" Xu Hei was stunned.
Escaped from Liefeng City?
Why use the word "escape".
From their words, it is not difficult to see that Chen Zimo is one of the high-level officials of Liefeng City and has a deep relationship with everyone. Why did he escape? Even if he wanted to leave, Liefeng City would not restrict his freedom!
Jiu Tou Chong said solemnly: "A year and a half ago, Chen Zimo was the first to leave the city. Then, he opened the blockade formation he arranged by himself, closed the entire Liefeng City, and fled to the outside world at full speed."
"An hour later, when the people of Liefeng City chased out of the city, Chen Zimo had disappeared."
"This is what I found out, the truth about Chen Zimo's disappearance that year!"
Jiu Tou Chong said every word, with an unprecedented serious expression.
After hearing this, Xu Hei fell silent.
So, this is what Chen Zimo meant by going out and not returning.
Jiu Tou Chong could not deceive him. Compared with Luo Gang and others, Xu Hei was more willing to believe his compatriots on Shenzhou Star.
"Why did he run away? Why did he use this method? Is he trying to prevent someone from following him? Xu Hei, these are the only things I can investigate. It's up to you to go or stay!" Jiu Tou Chong said.
The amount of information is too much.
If the situation is true, Liefeng City is indeed a place of right and wrong.
Xu Hei remained silent and thought carefully about the meaning of this.
If it was just like this, it would not mean anything. Perhaps it was Chen Zimo's personal reason. He made a mistake or stole a treasure, so he had a reason to run away.
It's just that Luo Gang concealed this detail, which is a bit intriguing.
At this time, Xu Hei suddenly narrowed his eyes and said to the Nine-headed Insect: "I have no interest in the Hydra, nor do I have the ability to join. You should ask for help from someone else!"
Without any communication, the Nine-headed Insect understood instantly and said in a deep voice: "The conditions I offer can be doubled!"
"If you don't get out, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xu Hei said coldly.
The Nine-headed Insect shook his head helplessly, left a token, stood up and clasped his fists: "If you change your mind, contact me at any time. The Hydra will open its door for you at any time!"
He clasped his hands and left the cave door.
Then, he turned into a shadow and flew out of Liefeng City.
Xu Hei looked at the Nine-headed Insect's leaving figure, picked up the token, and crushed it into pieces.
Afterwards, he sat cross-legged and breathed quietly. It was not until a long time had passed that he opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Surveillance!
That's right! He just felt a sense of being spied on. The high-level officials of Liefeng City were monitoring his communication with Jiu Tou Chong.
However, he reacted very quickly, and Jiu Tou Chong also responded very well. It seems that he has been trained a lot in these years as a killer.
This cave was given to him by Luo Gang. The formations left by Chen Zimo are spread all over every corner of Liefeng City. Its level is so high that it is really hard to guard against.
However, Xu Hei did not feel any malice from Luo Gang. It is possible that someone else is monitoring him.
But no matter who it is or what the specific situation is, Xu Hei does not plan to stay in Liefeng City for a long time.
But if he leaves like this, will it be too abrupt?
"We have to think of a way. In short, we can't confront them head-on." Xu Hei said in a dark voice.
Just when Xu Hei was thinking about all kinds of things, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Is Fellow Daoist Xu here?"
It was Ding Yi's voice.
Xu Hei walked out of the cave gate and frowned, "Brother Ding, it's so late, what's the matter?"
"It's like this, I just saw a killer enter the cave of Brother Xu, and there was no movement for a long time. I was worried that Brother Xu might have met with an accident, so I used the city defense formation to detect the killing aura. I may have disturbed you, so I came here to apologize!" Ding Yi clasped his fists and said with a very sincere attitude.
This explains what the prying feeling just now was.
Xu Hei pretended not to know and said, "Brother Ding, you worry too much, it's just a new killer organization that invited me to join."
"Haha, that's it." Ding Yi smiled, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I understand, there was a female cultivator named A Yin before, who was Brother Xu's friend, she seemed to have joined the Hydra organization, and the other party invited you, which makes sense."
