Volume 1 Chapter 717 Arrive at the Main City
Black Cloud took this opportunity to slip to the back of Black Cloud Stronghold, jumped off the cliff, and fell into the lake below. He could not care how cold the lake water was now. The current Black Cloud only knew how to flee.
Kong Yun naturally discovered this and waited for Black Cloud in the direction where he had escaped.
Heiyun focused his attention on the rear and didn"t realize that there was someone waiting for him.
"Still running, Big Boss." This sentence shook Black Cloud in place. Looking at the figure in the distance, his heart instantly turned cold. He knew that he was doomed this time.
"My lord, I don"t know how to offend you. It"s good that you let me die." Black Cloud was disheartened, but he did not give up hope of escaping.
"You guys are bandits. How many people have you killed? I"m doing this on behalf of the heavens." Kong Yun said indifferently, without any emotional fluctuations.
"I am willing to give all my treasures. Please spare my life." Heiyun knelt down and looked at Kong Yun, but Kong Yun was not moved by this. He still stood there. "You have committed many evil deeds. You deserve to die."
Whoosh ~ A poisonous arrow was fired from Black Cloud"s back. Kong Yun swept the corner of his eyes and saw this scene. In a flash, he dodged the arrow. Black Cloud saw the opportunity and began to flee quickly. Kong Yun had the Spirit Steps, so he wasn"t afraid of him escaping at all.
Kong Yun flashed and once again arrived in front of Black Cloud. "Do you know what I hate the most? It"s a smart person like you. Go to h.e.l.l." Kong Yun pinched Heiyun"s neck and instantly broke his neck.
"Ignorant." Kong Yun took out his spatial ring and began to inspect it. He found a map fragment in the corner. Kong Yun was instantly interested. He took out the map fragments he had obtained from the Ghost Rakshasa Clan. Comparing them, the two of them were made from the same material. It seemed like there were still two map fragments like this.
Kong Yun had never expected that he would obtain something he hadn"t expected after acc.u.mulating his virtue and doing good deeds. This was considered an unexpected gain.
Kong Yun searched the territory of Black Cloud Stronghold and searched for a lot of money, but he didn"t have any valuable treasures. It was already good to have these items in a bandit nest. Besides, Kong Yun had many precious treasures on him, so he naturally didn"t like these ordinary items.
Kong Yun was still rushing along while cultivating. Time pa.s.sed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was already at the city gate. Kong Yun looked at the main city from afar. The main city was very dignified. On both sides of the city gate stood two giant stone lions, their eyes shining brightly, suppressing the fate of the main city.
The city gate was engraved with patterns that Kong Yun did not know, as if it was a totem. After Kong Yun"s careful observation, there were people at the city gate who specially welcomed the various city lords. Kong Yun did not want to ask these people to welcome him into the city. Otherwise, if his whereabouts were exposed, then his troubles would continue.
Kong Yun used the secret arts of the Ghost Rakshasa Clan to change his appearance and began to swagger towards the city gate.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the city gate, no one recognized him. Originally, Kong Yun intended to go in directly, but was stopped by a soldier. "Pay the money." Kong Yun thought to himself, "It"s really dark." Kong Yun still handed over the money and entered the city.
After Kong Yun entered the city, he was shocked. There were tall buildings and strange buildings everywhere. The road was very s.p.a.cious. Even if he walked six carriages together, it wouldn"t seem crowded. In the middle of the main city, there was a tall building that soared into the clouds. This was the most sacred place in the imperial palace and the main city.
Kong Yun found an inn at the edge of the main city and stayed there. There was still some time before the start of the compet.i.tion. Kong Yun was not in a hurry to find Dongfang Xue. Instead, he hid in the main city and asked for information about the various clans.
The best place to get information was naturally the restaurant. Kong Yun simply tidied up and went to the bigger restaurant in the main city. He found an empty table and sat down. He started drinking with himself.
Soon, some news reached Kong Yun"s ears. This time, the Dongfang Clan was in danger of being targeted by the other three great clans. This time, it was very difficult for them to obtain the position of City Lord. Darknorth Clan"s Darknorth Purple was second only to the number one genius, Xuanyuan Fei. She was a hot figure for this championship. Emperor Xuanyuan was in critical condition and could die in the next few months. There were all sorts of rumors.
While Kong Yun was listening attentively, a youth walked across from Kong Yun and asked, "Can I sit here?" Kong Yun smiled and nodded, but did not say anything.
Kong Yun was very confident that no one knew him here, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Brother, what do you do, brother?" The youth began to inquire about Kong Yun"s information, and Kong Yun secretly laughed in his heart. "I"ve been cultivating with Master in the mountains all along. Today, I"ve got an opportunity to come out and explore. I"ll first come to the main city to play and see the world." Kong Yun"s answer was very reasonable.
The youth knew that Kong Yun didn"t want to tell him about his background, so he didn"t say anything else. "Come, let"s just drink today and not talk about anything else." The two of them began to drink together.
"Someone told me to tell you to be careful of the four great clans in the main city and protect that thing." Kong Yun immediately prepared himself. He was extremely shocked. Originally, he thought that no one would recognize him, but this youth"s words completely made Kong Yun lose confidence.
"There"s no need for you to be so nervous. I won"t harm you. I will also give you a great opportunity. After you partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, I will come back to look for you." After you finished speaking, you walked slowly, as if you weren"t interested in Kong Yun"s Spectral Steps, but no one knew what this youth was doing.
Kong Yun was thinking about whether there was something wrong with his disguise. However, after this series of verification, it should be that there was no problem. However, this youth actually discovered his disguise. Kong Yun did not know what to do next.
Kong Yun paid for his meal and walked out of the restaurant. He began to wander aimlessly on the streets, observing his back at all times to see what tail he had, but he didn"t find anything.
Since this youth was here to remind him, he didn"t have any malicious intentions. He would come to find him if he had any ulterior motives. Thinking of this, Kong Yun gave up thinking about this person and returned to the inn to start cultivating. Kong Yun knew in his heart that only with his own strength would he be able to cope with all the challenges.
However, things were not going according to Kong Yun"s wishes. Kong Yun felt a figure outside Kong Yun"s window. He was about to enter. Kong Yun opened his eyes and closed them again. A woman jumped in from Kong Yun"s window. This woman did not notice Kong Yun"s existence. Instead, she looked out of the window vigilantly, as if she was dodging something.
Just as the woman heaved a sigh of relief, Kong Yun stood behind her. "What are you doing in my room?" This voice shocked the woman. She turned around and saw a man behind her. She was just about to open her mouth to shout loudly, but when she thought of the people outside, she immediately covered her mouth.
The woman"s eyes widened as she looked at Kong Yun, "Who are you? Why are you here?" The woman was gasping for breath, but she still hadn"t calmed down her fear.
"I should be the one to ask you this. This is my room. You dared to barge into my room. Who am I?" Kong Yun felt very amused at this moment.
""Big brother, I"m being chased by someone else. If I"m found out, I won"t be able to survive. Wait for them to leave, I"ll leave immediately." As the woman spoke, she did not forget to pay attention to the movements outside the window.
At this moment, Kong Yun felt that these people were closing in on the inn. Kong Yun knew that he had already spread the news. As long as he was discovered, he would probably be chased after as well.
Kong Yun hugged the woman. Just as the woman was about to shout, Kong Yun covered her mouth and said, "If you want to live, listen to me obediently. Otherwise, go out and be captured by them." Although this sentence frightened the woman, the woman"s gaze was warning Kong Yun not to go too far and be ignored by Kong Yun.
Not long after, a chaotic sound came from the inn. Kong Yun knew that these people had started searching room by room.
Not long after, he found Kong Yun"s room. Before Kong Yun could get out of bed, the door was kicked open. Kong Yun"s face wrinkled and he instantly relaxed. She acted as if she was afraid and hugged the woman.
"Did you see a woman walk in?" Although these people were dressed in black, the aura of a soldier on their bodies could not be concealed from others.
"No ~ No." Kong Yun was very nervous, but he had already clenched his fists. Once he discovered that something was wrong, he immediately killed these people. Otherwise, he would be in danger.
The black-clothed man looked around and did not notice anything unusual. His gaze focused on the person Kong Yun was holding. "Let me see who this is." The black-clothed man walked towards Kong Yun step by step. A strange expression appeared in his eyes.
"This is my wife. What are you doing?" Kong Yun stood in front of the woman, pretending to be sacrificing himself for her. The black-clothed man felt that this was not good, so he shook his head and turned to leave.
The moment they left, Kong Yun and the woman heaved a sigh of relief. The woman kicked Kong Yun out of bed with one kick, her eyes staring at Kong Yun, very unkind.
Kong Yun shook his head and smiled, "There"s really no reward for kindness."
The woman"s eyes were very awkward now, "Thank you for saving me just now." Kong Yun nodded and looked at the woman.
"Why are you being chased by these people?" Kong Yun had some conjectures in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm them.
"I just stole some of their money and they chased me." When the woman said this, her eyes were dodging.
"Is that so? Since that"s the case, you can leave. I don"t want to get myself into trouble." Kong Yun"s face was covered with a layer of indifference.
"I am Xuanyuan Yan of the Xuanyuan Clan, the princess of the current dynasty." The woman spoke slowly, her eyes still looking at Kong Yun"s expression.
