Dong Lai Shun looked at the flying shuttle and smiled. "With the protection of the Ash-Gray Cloud Letter, there's no good way. But we're not far from Twilight City. We'll see when we get there. There is always a way to get him away from Yue Qianchou. "
"Good! Then let him live for a few more days! "Mu Bing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His resentment was not gone for a long time.
Ding Xiang drove the flying shuttle and followed at a distance of nearly a kilometer. He did not widen the distance but did not get too close either. The two sides moved forward quickly, one in front and one behind …
There was no surprise or danger along the way. After a full five days, as the flying shuttle in front slowly slowed down, Ding Xiang also slowed down. He looked back and said to them, "We have arrived at Twilight City!"
Needless to say, they had already seen the distant plains dotted with lights like the stars in the night sky. The area was not small, but for the Underworld that was immersed in the night, it seemed a bit different. Among them, except for Yue Qianchou, everyone had been here before, so Yue Qianchou looked around curiously …
The flying shuttle carrying Mu Bing and the others had already dived into the Waning Light. The flying shuttle behind them was about to land when Yue Qianchou shouted, "Wait!" Ding Xiang understood and stopped the flying shuttle in the air. Most people who came here for the first time would inevitably look at the environment of Twilight City curiously.
Below was a huge city wall, crisscrossed rows of houses, and the lights shining through the windows were the little stars in the distance. There were few tall buildings in the city wall. Occasionally, a three-story attic was already considered high. The seemingly disorderly but orderly streets were intertwined like a net. The strange thing was that most of the lights were lit in the rooms, and there were few illumination objects on the wide or narrow streets outside.
In the center of the city, there was a square that wasn't small. In the middle of the square, there was a circular foundation that was ten meters tall and nearly a hundred meters tall. However, on the foundation, there was a huge snake statue that was also nearly a hundred meters tall, towering into the night sky. Unfortunately, this snake-shaped sculpture was a broken stone sculpture.
To be more precise, it was a statue with a snake's body and a human head. The lower half of the statue's body was supported by a snake's coiled tail. There was nothing above the shoulder. The reason why one could tell that the upper body was that of a woman was because there was a pair of large and plump breasts exposed to the air on the naked upper body. Further up, the shoulders and head were damaged for some unknown reason.
The flying shuttle they were on was not far from the giant statue. It looked like a tiny dot in comparison. Yue Qianchou stared at it for a long time and suddenly asked, "Shen You, what does this statue mean?"
Cang Yunxin and Ding Xiang also looked at Shen You. They also did not know why this statue was standing there. Shen You said respectfully, "I don't know what it means. It is said that when Twilight City was discovered, this broken statue was here, but no one knows why."
"Then why is it called Twilight City?" Yue Qianchou continued to ask. Shen You replied with a bitter smile, "I don't know either. I don't know who first discovered this place. Anyway, the name Twilight City has been passed down for countless years, and no one can explain what it means."
"It's just a broken ruin. It doesn't matter what it is called. Why do you have to ask?" Cang Yunxin said impatiently.
Yue Qianchou nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to say that they should find a place to rest, he suddenly heard the sound of crashing waves in the distance. It was coming from the direction the statue was facing. Yue Qianchou turned around and saw a strong wind blowing from afar. His clothes fluttered in the wind. He was sensitive to the humidity in the air and asked, "Is there a lake in front?"
Ding Xiang laughed and said, "It's not a lake. Not far from here is the Styx River. Twilight City is built on the bank of the Styx River." Jiu You added, "The place directly opposite Twilight City is the widest basin of the Styx River."
"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou nodded slightly and glanced at Twilight City. From time to time, he could see people flying in from all directions, and he could also see people flying in all directions. His eyes finally fell on the exquisite giant statue. Although it was broken and had experienced countless years, it was still difficult to hide its vividness.
The broken statue seemed to be using the whistling wind to tell something. Glory? Sadness? Or something else? Yue Qianchou had this feeling. He listened attentively, but he could not understand the language of the wind. It could only be understood, but not expressed? However, he did not have such a high level of understanding, so he still got nothing …
After a while, Yue Qianchou turned to look at Cangyun Xin and Ding Xiang. He smiled and said, "I think both of you have a place to stay here! Where do you think you should stay? "
Cangyun Xin was silent. Ding Xiang glanced at him. He could imagine how awkward it would be to protect his enemy in front of his fellow disciples. He chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, you can stay at my Hidden Dragon Villa for the time being!" After that, he drove the flying shuttle around the giant sculpture and flew diagonally forward …
The Hidden Dragon Villa's foothold in Twilight City occupied a whole street. The street was not long, perhaps it should be called an alley. Dozens of houses on both sides of the street were occupied by the people of the Hidden Dragon Villa. It was unknown how many people lived there, but from the hundreds of people that Ding Xiang brought in front of the Dragon Transformation Gate, it could be seen that there were at least more than a hundred people.
Elder Ding Xiang was sent by the Hidden Dragon Mountain Villa to guard this place. After he arranged for them to stay in a small stone house, he acted as if he had nothing to do with them. After exchanging some pleasantries with them, he said he had something to do and left. Even when Yue Qianchou asked him to send someone to check on the situation of Mu Bing and the others, he politely refused. In fact, he did not want to get involved with these people anymore. He did not get to eat meat and almost got himself into trouble. When they arrived at the destination, they naturally parted ways.
Yue Qianchou was concerned about the location where Mu Bing and the others were staying. He could not stay idle and wanted to take Jiu You out for a walk. How could Cangyun Xin let him run around? It was known that this was a place where killing was not against the law. He had no choice but to follow.
The three of them went out and shuttled through the maze-like streets. Yue Qianchou looked around at the exotic stone buildings around him. In fact, the entire Twilight City was built with large and small stones. The shapes were similar. Although simple and elegant, it was a maze.
The vicissitudes of life lingered on the streets. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets. Most of them were rising and falling in the air. After walking east and west for a few streets, even Cangyun Xin and Jiu You lost their way. The three of them had to fly into the air to find the direction. Yue Qianchou looked around and finally found the place where Mu Bing and the others landed. He took the lead and flew over. Cangyun Xin and Jiu You looked at each other and immediately understood that he was still thinking about Mu Bing and the others …
However, when they landed on the street, they found that it was a large main street. There were no less than a thousand stone houses on both sides. There was no way to find where Mu Bing and the others lived. He couldn't possibly interrogate them one by one, right? It would be impolite to use their divine sense to investigate. This was the Netherworld. Who knew who lived in the houses on both sides?
Yue Qianchou thought about it and decided to ask Ding Xiang for help. He had already rejected Cangyun Xin's request to ask the people from the Heartless Palace for help. He said that he had no obligation to do so, and Yue Qianchou could not force him. Therefore, the three of them directly returned to the place where they came from. They broke into a house on the side and asked a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Villa where Ding Xiang was. The disciple knew that they were guests brought by Elder Ding, so he led them to Ding Xiang's residence …
However, before they entered the door, they saw a large group of people in the sky. They landed on the roofs on both sides of the street and surrounded the entire street. These people were all dressed in black armor and had swords on their waists. They stared at the people below. Yue Qianchou had seen the same people at the exit of the Netherworld.
"The Army of the Dark Underworld …" A surprised voice was heard. The disciples of the Hidden Dragon Villa came out in shock. They looked at the people surrounding the entire street in shock.
Ding Xiang naturally came out in shock too. He was not in the mood to care when he saw Yue Qianchou and the others standing at the door. He walked to the street and looked around. Finally, he cupped his fists towards a person dressed like a general on the roof and said, "Oh, it's General Lu." He pointed to the people on the roofs and said, "The Hidden Dragon Villa has always strictly followed the rules of the Netherworld. What is the meaning of this?"
"Elder Ding, something has happened around here recently. I was ordered to investigate all suspicious people. I heard that you brought back three strangers. Please hand them over so that I can bring them back for interrogation, "General Lu said coldly.
Yue Qianchou and the others looked at each other. He must be referring to the three of them …
"This …" Ding Xiang looked at Graycloud Xin and the others who happened to be standing beside him. He immediately pointed to the three people on the roof and smiled bitterly. "General Lu, you've misunderstood. They are not suspicious. One of them is Great Priest Graycloud Xin of Heartless Palace, the other is Sect Master Yue Qianchou of World Commerce, and the last one is from the River Styx Tribe."
"How dare you!" General Lu shouted coldly, "Ding Xiang, since when is it your Hidden Dragon Villa's turn to interfere with the Army of the Dark Underworld? It's not up to you to decide whether they are suspicious or not. I will investigate everything. Guards! Take the three of them away! "He pointed at Graycloud Xin and the others.
Ding Xiang immediately smiled bitterly at the three of them and slowly retreated, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
A dozen soldiers immediately dashed down from the roofs. They even took out shackles and handcuffs and pressed towards the three of them. Yue Qianchou was speechless as he dug his ears. He wasn't afraid, but he couldn't understand how he could be so unlucky as to encounter a game of soldiers catching thieves the moment he arrived. He didn't know what was going on around him, but strangers were being taken back for interrogation …
