Five days had passed since Red Sun Monk's death.
Central Plains, Tiandu.
The underground known as Fireworks Lane was a crisscrossing underground sewer.
The surface was a magnificent and dazzling place, while the underground was a dark and quiet secret place.
A man in a black robe walked slowly in the sewer with a torch in his hand. His surroundings were dark, and from time to time, there would be ear-piercing screams or rustling sounds, making one's hair stand on end.
At this moment, there was a burst of air-piercing sounds in the darkness. Several men with sabers surrounded the black-robed man at a ghostly speed.
"Were you the one who did it in Fireworks Lane?"
"Kid, is this a place where you can stand up for yourself?"
"To stand up for a whore, you really don't want your life anymore."
The black-robed man did not seem to see the men in front of him at all as he walked past them. When the men saw that they were ignored, they were enraged and slashed at the man's body with their sabers.
However, when the saber was about to touch the man's body, the man's body strangely stopped.
In the next moment, the man's body seemed to have been slashed by countless swords, turning into hundreds of pieces that scattered on the ground.
The other men cried out in shock and all attacked the black-robed man with their sabers. However, the man's body seemed to be covered by a layer of invisible armor. No matter whose attack landed on it, it was useless. Instead, they were cut into pieces by the invisible blades.
When the last man was killed, he had a mental breakdown from the shattered corpses on the ground. He threw down his saber and fled with a shout.
From start to finish, the black-robed man did not say a single word. Even his footsteps did not change in the slightest. It was as if the people who had just arrived were not a few murderers, but a breeze that blew by. It did not attract his attention at all.
The black-robed man walked very slowly, but he did not seem to be flustered at all. He walked like this. As he went deeper, the darkness around him seemed to become thicker. The area covered by the torch in his hand became smaller and smaller. In the end, he could only see less than a meter around him.
At this moment, strange footsteps sounded. It sounded densely packed, as if something in the darkness was surrounding the black-robed man.
The black-robed man finally stopped, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He pointed his finger, and a ray of light was released from his fingertip. The darkness in the surroundings was instantly dispelled. In the sewer, the man was surrounded by a dense crowd of dwarves without anyone noticing.
The dwarves all opened their mouths wide and gritted their teeth as they looked at the man. When they saw the flash of light, they all stepped back and shouted at the same time, as if they were doing some kind of threatening action.
The man smiled faintly and said, "Is this how the Southern Sacred Sect's Sect Master treats his guests?"
"I don't remember inviting you."
As a voice came from the depths of the tunnel, the sewer suddenly surged with darkness. That's right, the darkness that was born from the transformation of light actually turned into a living thing at this moment, surging around the man.
No matter how much light he used, he couldn't see anything more than a meter away from him. It was as if he had fallen into an abyss.
The black-robed man furrowed his brows. In the darkness that engulfed the surroundings, he had almost lost all of his senses. Regardless of whether it was his sight, hearing, smell, or even psionic vision, he was unable to see the situation in the darkness.
When the darkness receded once again, the surrounding environment had changed completely.
The sewer had completely disappeared, and what appeared before the black-robed man was an extremely luxurious palace. The floor of the palace was covered with a furry carpet. It was unknown what kind of mutated beast this carpet was made from. There were even images of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the moving stars embroidered on it. It was obvious that it was extremely expensive.
On the surrounding walls, tables, and chairs, there were all kinds of ivory, jewels, and jade. The black-robed man felt as if he had entered the palace of a certain royal family.
At this moment, his various senses finally returned to normal. He could sense that there seemed to be many powerful life forms hidden in the pitch-black ceiling.
However, what really made him feel astonished, or rather, terrified, was the man who was seated on the throne at the very back of the palace.
The man's upper body was bare, and he was holding his chin with one hand. One could see the obvious lines of muscles all over his body. Even the most ignorant mortal could clearly feel the power hidden under this body, which was like a tsunami erupting.
Clearly, after this period of time, Shenzong's body was no longer as weak as when he had just left the ancient tomb. Instead, he had made great progress.
At this moment, Shenzong looked curiously at the black-robed man from the throne. There was a flash of lightning in the air, and he could clearly sense the other party's vigilance and nervousness.
Shenzong tapped his finger lightly on the throne and said indifferently, "A few months ago, I seem to have seen someone similar to you."
"Yes. You even killed him. " The black-robed man took off his hood, revealing a strange face. The reason why it was strange was because this person had brown hair, and one of his eyes was black and the other was white.
"His name was Jiu Gong. You can call me Wu Yi." As he spoke, the muscles all over his body were tensed up. The other party's strength was much more terrifying than he had imagined. Even now, he still had not figured out how he had suddenly changed the scene earlier.
"Oh, you're from the same organization?" Shenzong had a hint of a playful smile on his face. "Then you're here to take revenge for him?"
"That person doesn't have much of a relationship with me, so I don't have any intention of taking revenge for him." The man with the strange pupils smiled and slowly drew out a bronze sword that was three fingers wide and over a meter long from his waist. He said helplessly, "Before we continue talking, can I trouble you to restrain your spiritual power a little?"
Shenzong said in surprise, "Oh, I've released my spiritual power?"
"How should I put it … I feel like I'm a bug frozen in amber, and I'm almost squashed alive." After the man drew out his sword, the pressure on his body seemed to have eased. The aura that the sword displayed in that instant made Shenzong, who was seated on the throne, feel slightly surprised.
'Just the dispersal of spiritual power can cause such an effect. If such a monster were to stay at the foot of the Imperial City, the entire country might just be wiped out one day. ' After complaining in his heart, the man with the strange pupils continued to say, "I've already understood your strength. Right now, I'm here to invite you to join the organization that I'm in. "
Shenzong laughed out loud. "If you want to rely on me, I can consider it."
"The organization that I'm in isn't a superior-subordinate relationship, but a collaborator relationship. Whoever kills one of our members can replace him to join the organization. I believe that you'll definitely be able to get a lot of things or information that you're interested in here. "
"For example?"
"A person's location, as well as our friendship." Saying this, Wu Yi tossed a letter to Shenzong.
Shenzong opened the letter and took a look. Then his expression changed.
Half an hour later, the man with the strange pupils appeared in the Fireworks Alley once again.
Shenzong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said calmly, "Number 1."
A figure leaped down from the darkness at the top of the palace. It was a man with a cold gaze and a green face. From his appearance, it was the navy general who had stopped Shenzong at sea earlier, Du Tianyu.
Right now, his face was green and cold, and he did not seem like a living person. There were even faint traces of blood at the corners of his lips and chin.
"Go to the New Land, the New Harbor, and find a person called Zuo Zhicheng. Then …"
"Bring him in front of me."
