Zhou Qian's complexion changed as he heard this. He smiled and said, "Lord Commander, this is a very strange stone. At the time, I saw that it was very pretty so I bought it to give to my son to play with."
As he spoke, he didn't show it to the purple-clothed man and directly put it away.
"You didn't understand? Do you want me to repeat myself?" The purple-clothed man's complexion darkened. The pressure of a Divine Transformation realm master broke out from his body, rolling towards Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian's entire body shivered. Cold sweat dripped down his back and his complexion changed. Finally, he fell to his knees and offered up the fire elemental essence with both hands, begging in a panicked voice, "Lord, this lowly one was confused for a moment. My brain was flooded with water and I wanted to take this fire elemental essence for myself. This lowly one deserves to die a thousand deaths, but this lowly one is willing to offer up this essence with both hands. I only ask that Lord Commander can take into account the fact that this lowly one has served Lord Commander for all these years and show mercy and spare this lowly one's life …"
"Fire elemental essence?"
The purple-clothed man's spirit was shaken. He grabbed the crystal in his hand and looked it up and down. Finally, his eyes bloomed with a bright light. This was because he discovered that this red crystal was actually the legendary Fire Elemental Essence!
Suddenly, his complexion darkened as he looked at Zhou Qian. His voice was thick with killing intent as he said, "Tell me where you obtained this fire elemental essence and I will spare your life!"
"It's the Ninth City's Law Protector, Li Feng."
Zhou Qian didn't dare to conceal anything. He spoke the truth without hesitation. He looked around the city gates and finally pointed at two white figures in the crowd. He anxiously said, "It's them!"
Then, he angrily shouted, "Li Feng, Yan Kuan, you two get back here!"
"Pa!"
But just as he spoke, the purple-clothed man slapped him across the face. Zhou Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and several teeth as he was sent flying backwards. With a loud bang, he crashed into the city walls.
As Zhou Qian was about to ask what was going on, he heard an angry voice explode in his mind. "You idiot, why are you being so loud? Do you want everyone in the city to know that Li Feng and Li Yu have Fire Elemental Essence? "
Sure enough, the next moment, the people on the street began to clamor as they looked around. At this moment, two figures walked out of the crowd and walked out of the city gate. Instantly, they attracted a lot of attention.
"So they are Li Feng and Yan Kuan. Could it be that the two of them offended the City Guard Commander? If that's the case, then there might be a good show to watch later. "
Under countless doubtful and curious gazes, Wutian led Cang Zheng and strode towards the purple-clothed man. He sighed in his heart, "It seems that the saying is true. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided!"
Because when Zhou Qian's angry shout rang out, he turned his head to look. Although the purple-clothed man's movements were very swift, he still clearly saw that the Fire Essence that should have been in Zhou Qian's hands had ended up in the purple-clothed man's hands. At that time, he knew that Zhou Qian had sold him out.
"Hmph! So this is the good idea you came up with. Not only did you fail to settle the matter, you even caused a lot of trouble. What a joke. "Cang Zheng snorted coldly.
"How would I know that Zhou Qian would be so stupid that he couldn't even hide a single Fire Essence." Wutian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Now I want to see how you're going to deal with this matter. You should know that if you don't handle it well, the fact that you have Fire Elemental Essence will be exposed to the world. When that time comes, I'm afraid that even the people of the Shadow City will be alarmed." Cang Zheng sneered, as if he was gloating and watching the fire burn across the river.
Just as they were talking, the two of them arrived beside the purple-clothed man. Wutian cupped his hands and said, "Lord Commander, what are your orders?"
Wutian was a classic example of feigning ignorance.
"You are the Ninth City's Enforcer, Li Feng?" The purple-clothed man asked doubtfully.
Wutian was neither servile nor overbearing. He looked straight at the man and said indifferently, "That's me."
"What are you doing in this city? Tell me the truth. "
The purple-clothed man frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Wutian's current attitude. However, to their surprise, the purple-clothed man did not directly ask about the Fire Elemental Essence.
Wutian looked around discreetly and suddenly understood. With so many pairs of eyes watching, the purple-clothed man naturally did not dare to ask blatantly. Thinking of this, Wutian's mind began to work.
"My friend and I are here to participate in the Shadow Guard election. The Zhou City Guards all know about this. If the Lord Commander does not believe us, we are willing to take out the City Lord Token for you to check."
As they spoke, the two of them put their hands into their pockets. The purple-clothed man waved his hand and his expression became much more pleasant. He even had a trace of a smile as he said, "There's no need for that. By the way, I'm sure the two of you don't know where the registration location is! It just so happens that I have something to do now. Why don't the two of you come with me? "
"What's going on?"
At the side, Cang Zheng's head was filled with confusion. He thought that there would be a good show to watch. Who would have thought that this stupid city guard commander would not even mention the words' Fire Elemental Essence '. Instead, he recommended himself to bring the two of them to sign up.
Could it be that this City Guard Commander's brain was damaged by a crack in the door? Or was he kicked silly by the Golden Brute Bull? Cang Zheng thought gloomily.
"Since the Lord Commander has invited us so warmly, how would I dare to refuse? Lord Commander, please!" Wutian smiled indifferently as usual and pulled Cang Zheng to the side.
The purple-clothed man's pupils shrank slightly and a cold light flashed past. The purple-clothed man now hated the man in front of him to the extreme. Especially that calm and collected look of his, which made him extremely disgusted.
"I'll let you pretend for a while. Later, I'll let you cry slowly, and then I'll take your dog life!"
The purple-clothed man sneered in his heart, but there was no change in his expression. He smiled and said, "The strength of the two brothers is really amazing! Even I can't see through you. I'm sure the two brothers are determined to win the championship this time. "
"You flatter us, Lord Commander." Wutian shook his head and replied shamefully, "My Lord, you're the noble Commander of the First City's City Guards yet you're willing to put down your airs and call us brothers. I'm overwhelmed by this favor and I'm moved to tears. If I continued to hide my strength, I would be letting you down."
At this point, Wutian scanned his surroundings and moved closer to the purple-clothed man. He then whispered, "To tell you the truth, my friend and I have cultivated some unorthodox methods which allow us to hide our auras. Our true cultivation is only at the early stage and we've only just broken through not too long ago."
"I see." The purple-clothed man secretly sighed in relief when he heard this. He then smiled and said, "Then there's no time to lose. Let's set off now!"
"By the way, the rest of you should come with me as well. I have something for you to take care of later." The purple-clothed man took a few steps before he suddenly turned around and gave some instructions to Zhou Qian and the other city guards. He then gestured to Wutian and Cang Zheng to follow him and led the way through the city gates.
"Zhou Qian, what do you think the commander's words mean? Why does he want us to follow him? Does he really have something for us to do? "Wu Degang asked doubtfully.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Qian sneered and said, "You guys are really stupid. In fact, I'm also very stupid. Why didn't I think of carefully interrogating Li Feng and Cang Zheng or searching their bodies? Since there's one Fire Element Essence, there might be a second one, a third one, or even more.
Zhou Qian glanced at Wutian and Cang Zheng who were not far away. He was really regretting it in his heart.
"Zhou Qian, you're not loyal. You actually want to keep such a treasure for yourself after obtaining it." Wu Degang glanced at Zhou Qian and said with a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
"Humph!" Zhou Qian snorted coldly and said, "Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"
Then, he seemed to have thought of something. A murderous aura flashed in his eyes as he transmitted a message to his companions, "If I'm not wrong, the commander wants us to go with him because he wants us to help him deal with Li Feng and Cang Zheng. If we obtain a large amount of Fire Element Essence from Li Feng, the commander will be happy and reward us with a few each."
"So that's how it is." The few of them suddenly understood. Wu Degang transmitted a message, "Then you guys go first. I'll watch the two behind to prevent them from escaping."
"Haha, don't worry. With the commander here, they won't dare to escape. They can't escape. Besides, they don't know what the commander is really thinking. Let's hurry up and follow! Otherwise, the commander will go crazy again. "Zhou Qian said.
Thus, the four of them chased after the man in purple with excitement and excitement.
"Haha! Interesting. "
Wutian, who had witnessed the whole process, only smiled in the end. However, this smile gave people a bone-chilling feeling. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Cang Zheng standing in the same place in a daze. His face was full of suspicion and thought.
"It's time to go." Wutian shook his head and laughed. He patted Cang Zheng's shoulder and still had a slight smile on his face. He followed behind the man in purple and the four city guards and gradually entered the crowd.
"Wutian, what exactly are you up to?" Cang Zheng transmitted a message and quickly chased after him.
Cang Zheng naturally couldn't get an answer. Some things were meaningless if explained.
Along the way, Wutian was silent as he followed the purple-clothed man through the streets and alleys. Half an hour later, the group of people walked into a small alley.
"Commander, why is the registration location so remote?" Wutian asked doubtfully.
"Haha! Since the Shadow Guard election is a major event held every year, the Shadow Guard Commander specially instructed us to arrange the battle arena in a quiet place so that it won't be disturbed during the battle. "The purple-robed man smiled without turning his head, and his footsteps didn't stop either.
Wutian shook his head slightly but didn't continue to ask.
"Haha! So the commander really arranged it this way. "
Zhou Qian and the other three sneered in their hearts. They were very clear about the location of the fighting arena. It was obviously in the opposite direction, but the commander said it was this way. It was obvious that the commander wanted to make a move on the two of them.
After another quarter of an hour, Wutian and the rest passed through a large stone door. Immediately, an endless mountain range appeared in front of them. There were no signs of people around and even beasts were hard to see. It was extremely quiet.
At this moment, Zhou Qian and the other three city guards slowed down their footsteps. They seemed to have intentionally walked behind Wutian and Cang Zheng.
Wutian smiled coldly and shook his head. "Commander, this is also a good place to kill people. Let's not waste any more time!"
