In a small town near the border of the grasslands, a tavern was opened by itself.
The business of the tavern seemed to be very quiet. However, there were still a few Khantes soldiers sitting there, gulping down wine and eating meat. They were the vanguard of the Khantes who roamed the borders of the grasslands all year round. They were in charge of gathering information and would often go deep into the colonies to carry out acts of burning, killing, and plundering.
One of the Khantes, who looked like a squad leader, said, "Damn it, this Heavenly Snake King has caused us so much trouble. It's such a hot day, yet we still have to patrol everywhere."
A young man next to him said, "But if we really manage to capture the Heavenly Snake King, we'll be rich. With so many cows and sheep, we'll be able to rule over an area."
Seeing how excited he was, the veterans around him laughed out loud. The squad leader even slapped him on the head and scolded, "Idiot, do you think we'll be able to take these things with our lives? If it's really so easy to take them, why didn't those people above us come? They're all hiding now because they're afraid of running into the Heavenly Snake King.
"Let me tell you, even if we really run into it, you'd better pretend that you didn't see it."
Putting aside the young man's rebuttal, just as the group of Khantes were laughing out loud, the door of the tavern was opened. A mature woman with a face like a peach blossom and a slender waist walked in slowly.
The woman had a sweet smile on her face. Her legs were only covered by a layer of gauze, and her pair of jade-like legs were faintly discernible. Coupled with her plump chest and big watery eyes, the group of Khantes stared at her with widened eyes. Not long after, they revealed lustful expressions.
Seeing the woman sitting in a corner of the hall, a few Khantes exchanged glances and whispered, "It seems like there's only one person."
"It's a woman from the Da Qi State. As expected, her skin is soft and tender. It's just that she's a little old."
"What do you know? She's really young."
The few of them exchanged a few more glances and then nodded in unison. A soldier stood up and wanted to walk towards the woman. However, he had only taken a few steps when there was another bang. The door of the tavern was opened once again.
The soldier glared at them and was about to scold them, but when he saw the black-robed man with a cold face, he swallowed the words he was about to shout.
At this moment, it was as if his heart had been enveloped by the ice storm of the Goddess Peak. 'Sky … Snake … King …'
On the other side, when the soldiers saw the black-robed man walking in, their expressions also changed. Their expressions tightened, and their hands turned white as they tightly gripped their scabbards. Their eyes were fixed on the black-robed man's every move.
On the contrary, the young recruit stood up and pulled out his machete with a clang. "Are you Tian …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the captain was the first to make a move. He covered the young man's mouth with one hand and dragged him back.
"Wu wu wu ~ ~"
The captain cursed in a low voice, "Even if you want to die, don't take us with you!"
The other people also rushed up and subdued the young man. Finally, they knocked him out with a few punches. At this moment, the captain looked anxiously at Zuo Zhicheng's position. However, he realized that Zuo Zhicheng was sitting at a seat at the door. It was as if he was indifferent to what they were doing.
He roared, "Let's go, let's go. Damn it, the Sky Snake King isn't even here. Let's go somewhere else to look for him. We'll be out of the grassland if we head northeast for more than ten miles. By then, we won't be able to find him even if we want to."
He thought that the hint he had given was obvious enough. The rest would be up to fate. Thinking of this, he swallowed his saliva. He didn't even dare to move his machete on the table. Instead, he led his subordinates out of the tavern.
When they reached Zuo Zhicheng's side, their legs almost turned to jelly and their hair was covered in cold sweat.
However, just as they were about to leave, a white light flashed past. After eight consecutive thuds, eight corpses fell to the ground. The door of the tavern had unknowingly been closed.
Zuo Zhicheng piled up the corpses on the ground one by one.
The woman next to him smiled and said, "The Sky Snake King is indeed as ruthless as the rumors say. These grassland barbarians have already left. Why do you have to kill them all?"
"Who knows if they'll leak information? It'll be troublesome if more Khantes are attracted. Why don't we just kill them all? " Zuo Zhicheng took out a bottle of medicine and sprinkled it on the corpses on the ground. In a short while, the corpses melted into a pool of blood.
The owner of the tavern hid behind the table and trembled as he looked at everything in front of him. In his eyes, Zuo Zhicheng had become a devil through and through.
When the woman saw this, she laughed out loud. "Killing people to silence them and destroying the corpses to remove all traces. Sky Snake King, your killing intent is so strong. Aren't you afraid that your mind will be disturbed and your path of martial arts will be uneven? "
"If your mind will be disturbed after killing a few people, then this kind of person shouldn't practice martial arts. Go and farm." As Zuo Zhicheng spoke, he had already sat down in front of the woman. His eyes were fixed on the woman's eyes as he said word by word, "You're not a member of the Shadow Corps?"
"Yes, but don't worry. I've thrown the person who contacted you into the woodshed in the backyard." The woman's face revealed a hint of foxy charm as she said in a coquettish voice, "I don't have any enmity against you. Instead, I've come to look for you this time to bestow upon you great riches."
Seeing the woman's condescending attitude, as if she was an emperor bestowing upon a subject, Zuo Zhicheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.
However, he did not show it. He only asked coldly, "Bestow upon me great riches? Tell me about your identity first. Then, tell me what great riches you're talking about. " In his infrared vision, he could see that the woman's body did not have a trace of Xiantian Qi. She had never practiced martial arts before. Her physical fitness was probably at the level of a special forces soldier in his previous life.
The woman's lips curled up slightly as she looked at Zuo Zhicheng with interest as if she was looking at a naughty child. She smiled and said, "You might have heard of my name. I'm the Wind Empress of the Qian Lin Army, one of the four major armies in the New Continent. I've invited you a few times, but you've rejected all of them."
"Wind Empress?" Zuo Zhicheng immediately recalled that Liu Manwen of the Qian Lin Army had invited him before. However, she did not mention anything about the Wind Empress.
The so-called Wind Empress was the most powerful titled Daoist in the Qian Lin Army. She and three other people from the other three major armies were known as the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. The Wind Empress was the Wind Empress. The Thunder Empress was the Courageous Marquis, who specialized in thunder techniques and was known as the Thunder Marquis. The Rain Master was the Rain Master.
Only the higher-ups of the various major forces in the New Continent knew about this. This was because to ordinary people, Daoist techniques were still unattainable. They were even fantasies. After all, there were probably less than 20 people in the entire New Continent who could perform Daoist techniques. They could only be seen adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes during crucial battles.
The Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning four people were at the peak of individual power in the New Continent. Other than the Courageous Marquis, the other three did not have any military or political power. However, no one dared to disrespect them. In their respective armies, they were the ones who secretly held the power behind the scenes.
This was something that could not be helped. Perhaps when they first arrived in the New Continent, titled Daoists were still the super weapons of the army. However, after so many years, they had mastered super power. How could they continue to be used as weapons?
For people like them, even if they did not do anything, power would still come knocking on their door. Even in the three colonies, among the subordinates of the three inspectors, there were countless people who secretly sought refuge under them.
