537 Chapter 537! the beginning of chaos, the ruins of Lou city
After killing the purple Star count with a single strike, Tang Zhen’s figure soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It wasn’t until ten minutes later that the residents of the building discovered the purple Star Count’s a.s.sa.s.sination by accident, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale!
It didn’t take long for more than ten elf cultivators to be killed, and the news of Lou Cheng’s treasure room being robbed came one after another.
The entire Purple Star Tower was plunged into chaos as this explosive news spread. Everyone was terrified.
The a.s.sa.s.sination of an elven count was definitely a major event. Under such circ.u.mstances, any carelessness would lead to disaster.
At this moment, the purple Star Tower and the trading market were filled with fully armed cultivators. They were running around with killing intent, and at the same time, they were catching any suspicious targets.
The mysterious young man that Tang Zhen had encountered was also caught up in it and was almost captured alive by the elf race’s cultivators. In the end, he only managed to successfully escape after expending a Herculean effort.
After the news of the Earl’s a.s.sa.s.sination spread to the outside world, all the main roads within the purple Star Tower’s control were blocked, and all people and vehicles entering and leaving were strictly inspected.
In the next few days, the news of the purple Star Count’s a.s.sa.s.sination spread throughout the entire elven territory.
The a.s.sa.s.sination of an elven count was like an earthquake that shook the entire elven race.
100 years ago, there was a murder in the name of a n.o.ble in the elven territory. The n.o.ble elves were so angry that they almost annihilated the a.s.sa.s.sin’s race.
After this incident, the dignity of the elf tribe was consolidated. For the next 100 years, no one dared to provoke the elf tribe for fear of their extinction!
After 100 years, there was another case of an a.s.sa.s.sination of a n.o.ble in the elf clan’s territory. To the elf clan, this was a slap in the face and a provocation.
When the elven court received this news, they immediately issued an order to capture the murderer who had a.s.sa.s.sinated the purple Star count!
In fact, the elven Royal Court had already sensed the potential danger, so they planned to use this incident to re-establish the dignity of the royal family.
As long as the murderer was caught and his race was confirmed, there would be a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre that would almost annihilate the entire race!
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the cultivators, the elves also offered a large reward to attract countless people to join in the pursuit of the murderer.
Of course, there were also many people who had come for the treasures in the purple Star Tower. Compared to the reward offered by the elf Royal Court, the treasures in the entire Purple Star Tower were the real wealth that would drive people crazy!
The fact that Purple Star Earl had tried to kill Yue qianhua was gradually revealed. While everyone was shocked, they also began to suspect that Yue qianhua had hired experts to a.s.sa.s.sinate Purple Star Earl.
It was also at this time that Yue qianhua, who had inherited the t.i.tle of Earl, publicly declared that she had nothing to do with the a.s.sa.s.sination of the purple Star Earl!
However, the purple Star Earl had planned several a.s.sa.s.sinations of Yue qianhua and her daughter. Even though he had been a.s.sa.s.sinated, Yue qianhua still demanded an explanation from the purple Star Tower.
Not to be outdone, the purple Star Tower immediately retaliated and insisted that Yue qianhua had sent people to a.s.sa.s.sinate the purple Star Earl.
Several small-scale battles broke out at the border of The Two Towers after the incident, and both sides suffered significant casualties.
On this matter, the two cities did not give in to each other and kept forming groups to seek allies. The smell of gunpowder between them was getting stronger and stronger, and it could explode at any time.
Because of this incident, the situation in the elf tribe, which was already turbulent, became more and more tense.
At the same time, a piece of news came out of nowhere. It claimed that the murderer who killed Purple Star Earl was actually a city Lord of a Savage Land with an unfathomable cultivation.
This city Lord’s name was Tang Zhen and he was previously employed by Yue qianhua. After the employment was over, he left the moon G.o.ddess’s Tower and disappeared.
Previously, Tang Zhen being hired by Yue qianhua was one matter, and now a.s.sa.s.sinating Purple Star Earl was another matter. There was no connection between them.
The reason why he had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the purple Star Earl was to take revenge for his a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, and also to obtain the treasures hidden in the purple Star Tower.
After this news spread, some people believed it to be true, while others scoffed at it. They didn’t believe that such an expert existed in the Wildlands.
However, as the investigation went deeper, more and more cultivators began to believe this. They continued to track the Holy Dragon City cultivators and headed to the Wildlands one after another.
Because of the existence of that shocking wealth, the Wildlands was once again bustling with activity.
……
When this news spread, Tang Zhen was on his way to the ruins of the building. When he heard that he was accused of being the murderer of Purple Star Earl, he only sneered.
The truth was as she had expected. Yue qianhua had betrayed Tang Zhen and pulled her out of this matter.
Tang Zhen looked in the direction of the moon G.o.d tower and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
In fact, before a.s.sa.s.sinating Purple Star Earl, Tang Zhen had already antic.i.p.ated this situation. However, when Yue qianhua really did such a thing, Tang Zhen felt a little disappointed.
This wasn’t tang Zhen being pretentious, but he really admired Yue qianhua. However, after some things had happened, many things would change.
Regarding the matter of pointing out Tang Zhen as an a.s.sa.s.sin, Yue qianhua could choose whether to do it or not. If she did it, it would be beneficial to her. If she didn’t do it, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.
Through the matter of Tang Zhen being pointed out, it showed that she had already gotten rid of her original immaturity and had begun to gradually grow. She had also learned to make the choice that was most beneficial to her.
However, this kind of growth was something that Tang Zhen did not wish to see the most. If the two of them were to meet again, it might be the time when they would meet with weapons!
As for the revenge of the elf race and the cultivators from various races who went to the Wildlands, Tang Zhen didn’t put them in his eyes from the beginning.
The elves were tens of thousands of miles away from Holy Dragon City. Even if they wanted to attack Holy Dragon City, they had to consider whether they could afford it. At most, they would only send someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate them.
As for those foreign cultivators who were obsessed with money, the more they came, the happier Tang Zhen would be. It was just nice to capture all of them and use them as coolies!
While Tang Zhen was thinking about this, the Wanderer team had already crossed the dense forest and arrived near a huge ruin located on a hillside.
Looking around, the ruins were indeed quite old. Weeds grew everywhere, and it was a mottled mess.
Looking at the outline of the building ruins, Tang Zhen could imagine how it looked like when it was glorious.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful it was in the past, it had become history now. The residents of the city had been turned into dust and no one remembered it.
As far as the eye could see, there were many Level 2 monsters wandering around the ruins. They looked like giant mutated c.o.c.kroaches.
After the Wanderers worked together to kill it, they quickly entered the ruins and began to rummage through the bricks and rubble for useful items.
Tang Zhen mixed in with the Wanderers and slowly walked among the huge ruins, trying to find what he wanted.
Among the books he had bought earlier, he had found a diary that recorded a piece of information that had piqued his interest.
The owner of the diary had once witnessed a meteorite shower and picked up a few meteorites at the scene. After smelting them, he obtained a metal with a natural pattern.
The diary’s owner stubbornly believed that this metal must have a special function, but due to the limited conditions, it could not prove its extraordinariness!
In the diary, the Holy master had recorded the appearance and characteristics of the metal in detail. After Tang Zhen read it, he was 90% sure that this was the main material for making storage equipment!
It was precisely because he had seen this record that Tang Zhen had specially made a trip here to see if he could gain anything.
However, the ruins under his feet had existed for many years. During this period, countless Wanderers had searched through it. The hope of Tang Zhen finding what he needed was extremely slim.
However, Tang Zhen still wanted to attempt to search for it. If he was able to obtain a piece of it, this trip would not be in vain!
The facts proved that Tang Zhen was thinking too much. After all, this was information recorded hundreds of years ago. It was unknown what kind of storms they had experienced during this period of time. Currently, wanting to find a few pieces of metal from the ruins was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack!
Tang Zhen had spent more than half a day in the ruins, but he was ultimately unable to find anything. He could only give up his intention to continue searching.
However, just as he was about to leave the ruins, a few children playing with their parents suddenly caught his attention.
This was especially the case when Tang Zhen saw the item that the child was wearing around his neck. His eyes immediately brightened!
