Volume 1 Chapter 1196 Mysterious Black Box
Kong Yun patted Nangong Chenming on the shoulder. "Let"s talk about this later. Don"t worry about it." Nangong Chenming nodded, knowing that there was no point in worrying now.
"Let"s cultivate inside and then rush to the Sword Sect." Nangong Chenming stood up and followed Kong Yun.
Afterwards, the two of them entered Tiger Head Mountain and began to cultivate. Two days later, the two of them woke up at the same time. After explaining to the Great Master, he left Tiger Head Mountain and charged straight for the Sword Sect.
The distance between the Sword Sect and the Tiger Head Mountain was relatively far. Even if the two of them were to rush with all their might, they would still have to walk for two to three days. Therefore, the two of them were not in such a hurry. They were only walking slowly.
This place was extremely chaotic. All sorts of forces were entrenched in this place, forming a very chaotic situation.
Shortly after, the two of them arrived at a small city on the edge, called Sunset City.
"Let"s go in and rest. By the way, let"s see what"s good inside." Nangong Chenming did not have any objections and followed Kong Yun into the city.
After entering, Kong Yun saw the endless stream of people and sighed with emotion, "I didn"t expect such a small city to be so prosperous. It"s really surprising."
Nangong Chenming knew the situation of the people here. He smiled and said, "This is a place where many Chambers of Commerce still have some strength. It is also a border area. There are large numbers of people, large currency flows, and very objective profits. That"s why many people are doing business here, causing this situation."
Kong Yun looked at Nangong Chenming and said, "Looks like this is a piece of fat meat." Nangong Chenming nodded.
At this moment, a person rushed over. Kong Yun"s expression changed. Just as he was about to stop him, he noticed that the person had suddenly changed directions and was flying to the other side. Kong Yun had just relaxed when he noticed that a person was flying towards Kong Yun. In a hurry, Kong Yun used both of his hands to hold onto it.
Kong Yun opened his palm and saw that it was a black box. He didn"t know what was inside and put the box into his spatial ring.
This scene was also seen by Nangong Chenming, but he didn"t say anything.
Kong Yun and the other two did not take this matter seriously and directly walked towards a restaurant.
The two of them had just arrived at a place when they first ordered a table of good food and began to eat it in large mouthfuls. Kong Yun"s food was rude and Nangong Chenming"s was quiet. The two of them formed a sharp contrast.
Nangong Chenming"s style of eating was completely out of place, attracting the attention of the surrounding people, but he didn"t say anything. After all, there were many people in Sunset City.
Afterwards, the two of them arrived at an inn and stayed there.
At night, Kong Yun, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Chenming. He found that he was still cultivating quietly.
After that, Kong Yun slowly came to the window and saw a few figures rushing towards Kong Yun"s inn.
Kong Yun was shocked and woke up Nangong Chenming. The two of them came to the window again.
"What"s wrong with you? Why are you so mysterious?" Nangong Chenming was puzzled.
"There are a few people rushing towards us. I feel that they have bad intentions." Nangong Chenming was stunned. "We have just arrived here and have no grievances or enmity with others. Why are they looking at us? Did they see something on us?"
Hearing this, Kong Yun remembered the black box he got in the city in the afternoon. His expression changed drastically, "Let"s get out of here quickly, otherwise, it will be too late." Kong Yun felt that they were already very close to this place. If they didn"t leave now, there wouldn"t be a chance.
The two looked at each other, opened the window and jumped out.
Just as the two of them left, a circle of people arrived outside Kong Yun"s room. "Guest officer, let me bring you some water. Please open the door." After saying that, they waited for a while and did not hear any response from inside. The leading man suddenly remembered something and directly kicked the door to shreds.
After entering, he did not find a single person"s shadow. Then, he walked to the window and saw the footprints on the window. He shouted, "d.a.m.n it, they actually escaped. Let"s hurry up and chase after them."
Afterwards, these people jumped down from the window and chased after him along the alley.
After everyone left, Kong Yun and the other two slowly crawled out of the same courtyard. Seeing that there was no one around, they immediately felt relieved, "These people"s movements are not ordinary fast."
"What should we do next?" Nangong Chenming glanced at Kong Yun.
"Find a place to hide for a while. I"d like to see if someone framed me or asked me for help." After that, Kong Yun and Nangong Chenming arrived at a small courtyard and stayed silent all night.
The next day, Kong Yun changed his appearance and arrived at a small rental courtyard.
A woman immediately came up and said, "Master, what kind of house do you want? We have all kinds of houses here. We can have any house we want." Kong Yun smiled and gently lifted the woman"s chin with his hand. "Alright, take out your house. Let me take a look."
After that, the woman walked over to Kong Yun with a book in her hand. Kong Yun"s soul force swept through the book and found out all the information inside. Then, she smiled and said, "I want this." Kong Yun took a fancy to a triple courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but its location was hidden.
"Alright, uncle, do you want to buy it or rent it?"
"I"ll rent it." When the woman heard this, she briefly recorded the information and said, "Two thousand spirit stones a month. At first, you must pay it for three months." Without thinking, Kong Yun took out six thousand spirit stones and handed them to the woman. The woman was very happy and handed Kong Yun a key with both hands.
"Where is this key? I hope you can come again next time." Kong Yun nodded and walked out.
Then, a black-clothed man came to the woman"s side. The woman said respectfully, "This person is not. The difference between his appearance and aura is simply too great." The man nodded and walked to the other side.
Kong Yun did not leave immediately. He happened to see the movements of the man and woman, but he did not hear their conversation.
Kong Yun smiled and returned to the courtyard where the two of them were hiding.
When Nangong Chenming saw a person walk in, his expression changed drastically. When he saw Kong Yun"s figure, he moved closer.
"How are you getting along?" Nangong Chenming"s expression was a little anxious.
"The forces that have captured us are very powerful. When I was renting a small courtyard, I saw a man monitoring the people coming and going, looking for traces of us." Hearing these words, Nangong Chenming sank into deep thought. "Not many people are capable of doing this. We should be able to find traces of them."
Kong Yun nodded, "I also think so, so let"s settle down and find out who wants this box."
Nangong Chenming was stunned for a moment. "This isn"t good. We"ll reveal our ident.i.ties soon after we inquire." Kong Yun"s expression was shocked. Only after Nangong Chenming reminded him did he think of this matter.
"Forget it, let"s talk about it at the residence." After that, Kong Yun waved his hand and put Nangong Chenming into his spatial ring, jumping out of the courtyard.
After arriving at the small courtyard, Kong Yun nodded in satisfaction. Although the courtyard was not big, the scenery was beautiful and the house was solid. It could be considered a relatively good house.
After Kong Yun walked in, he saw that it was very clean. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it up.
Just as Kong Yun was sitting down, a little girl appeared beside Kong Yun with a timid expression on her face.
"What are you doing? What are you doing here?" Kong Yun swept his soul force and discovered that this girl in front of him was only at the Inferior G.o.d Realm. In the G.o.d Realm, she was just an ordinary person and could not pose a threat to Kong Yun.
"I am the maidservant in this courtyard. I am responsible for cleaning the courtyard and serving you." The girl whispered, her eyes constantly sweeping across Kong Yun, but she did not dare to look straight at Kong Yun.
Kong Yun didn"t know that there was such a service in the courtyard. He smiled and said, "Since that"s the case, you can stay in the western room. You can"t enter this room without my permission, and you don"t have to clean this place. However, you have to clean the rest of the room on time." When the girl heard this, she hurriedly answered yes.
"What is your name?" The girl said weakly, "My name is Xiao Hui."
"Xiao Hui, you can just call me Lord in the future. Don"t call me Master." Xiao Hui suddenly nodded and left the room.
Kong Yun was still a little worried. He checked the surroundings and found no problems. Then, he released Nangong Chenming, "Stay here for the time being. Don"t go out. There is still a girl in the courtyard." Nangong Chenming nodded and sat down on the bed.
Kong Yun saw this and glared, "What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my seat? That bed belongs to me." Kong Yun"s face was a little unhappy, but he wasn"t angry at all.
"I don"t have a room to live in right now. I can only lend you a place to stay temporarily." After saying that, Nangong Chenming smiled at Kong Yun and closed his eyes.
"You live here. What about me?" Nangong Chenming shook his head without saying anything.
Kong Yun glared at him and sat down on a chair beside him.
At night, Kong Yun returned to his previous appearance and walked out of the courtyard.
After leaving, he directly ran towards the restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and changed where he drank with himself.
At this moment, a man walked to Kong Yun"s side and said, "Friend, there is no place here. Can you have a table?" Kong Yun looked around and saw that there was indeed no table. He then nodded.
After thanking him, the man sat down and said, "Friend, where did you come from when I saw you?"
Kong Yun smiled and said, "I am only a small member of a caravan. After many times of risking my life and death, I came here because I wanted to take a rest." The man oh, then continued to eat.
Kong Yun did not ask about the man"s ident.i.ty. He was looking at the person outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
The man smiled awkwardly and looked out the window like Kong Yun.
At this moment, a piece of news reached Kong Yun"s ears. "Did you know that the box the Black Dragon Society chased was missing? I heard that the elder of the Black Dragon Society threw the box into the hands of a young man before he died. The Black Dragon Society searched for this young man that night, but they didn"t catch him."
