Zuo Zhicheng arrived at a location one kilometer away from the manor. As he expected, the new manor had been completely renovated. The outer wall was made of white boulders, and there were complex intersecting corridors. There were also all kinds of facilities for training, enjoyment, and treatment.
However, just like what Zuo Zhicheng had seen on the road, the newly built manor was surrounded by a large group of soldiers that he had never seen before.
No, it was not that he had never seen them before. In the memory of the original owner of this body, Liu Zhicheng, these soldiers' uniforms were very similar to the Central Army of the Da Qi State.
Considering the fact that so many years had passed and the army of the Da Qi State had changed their uniforms, this army was very likely to be the Central Army of the Da Qi State.
"Did the Central Plains send someone here?" Zuo Zhicheng frowned. Looking at the situation in front of him, Zuo Zhicheng felt that it was very likely that the Central Plains had sent someone to reclaim the colony that was gradually losing control.
Moreover, with the experience of the previous three failures, since the Central Plains had sent this force, they must be very confident that they could defeat the four people of the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, and then regain control of the colony.
Especially since the Courageous Marquis and the Rain Master were dead, and Zuo Zhicheng had also left during this time. Only the Rain Master, the Lightning Master, Ge Ao, and the others were here. The situation was very unpredictable.
As for Zuo Zhicheng's newly built manor, it was obviously occupied by the other party.
However, seeing this scene, Zuo Zhicheng did not angrily attack them directly. In the face of an unknown strong opponent, what he needed now was to collect information.
After all, the other party seemed to have been in the colony for some time. They must have found a lot of information about him. In terms of information, he was at a disadvantage.
His eyes swept across the entire manor, and he saw countless purple and orange lights of various sizes. It seemed that this army had stationed a large number of soldiers inside. Moreover, there were many masters, which surprised Zuo Zhicheng.
The number of masters in this army was probably more than all the masters in the New World.
However, Zuo Zhicheng understood after thinking about it. The central plains were where the main forces of the Da Qi State were located. As the most powerful force in the world, the imperial court had always worshipped martial arts and suppressed Taoism since its establishment. The number of martial arts secret manuals they had mastered and the number of Taoist sects they had annihilated was unparalleled.
In order to go against the Dao Sect, the imperial court had been developing their own martial arts powers.
Furthermore, the Imperial Court treated martial artists differently from how it treated Daoists. As long as one's martial arts were high enough, they could easily be promoted and granted land and money.
It could be said that the imperial court was the biggest holy land of martial arts in the world. In terms of martial arts, there were simply as many experts as there were clouds in the sky.
Now that he saw that the number of martial arts masters in the army sent by the central government had exceeded the number of martial arts masters in the entire New World, it was completely worthy of its reputation.
"I wonder if there will be any Void Refinement Stage experts." Zuo Zhicheng thought about it and shook his head, "I don't think so. Void Refinement Stage experts are too rare. According to Li Xunyi's information, there are only about three Void Refinement Stage experts in the entire central plains. At most, there won't be more than five."
Just as Zuo Zhicheng was thinking about it, a large group of people suddenly rushed over from the southern road. It was a long human dragon. In the middle of the human dragon was a large number of carriages. On each carriage was a piece of meat the size of a small house.
It was the carcass of some kind of creature with huge scales and bones. Zuo Zhicheng's pupils shrank slightly when he saw it.
"The Serpent King?" Zuo Zhicheng said, "No, it seems to be the Serpent King, but it's not the one I have. This one seems to be bigger, and it doesn't have wings or an exoskeleton."
Zuo Zhicheng suddenly thought of the shipwreck he had encountered when he had just arrived in this world. It was a huge creature that had destroyed his ship. When Zuo Zhicheng saw the Serpent King in the underground ruins, he had suspected that they were the same kind of creature.
Now, it seemed that there was indeed a huge Serpent King in the sea. It was very likely that the Courageous Marquis' method of creating shipwrecks to prevent the imperial court from landing on the New World was to let the Serpent King destroy the ships in the sea.
However, he did not know what the relationship between the Courageous Marquis and the ancient beast and how he commanded it.
However, these things were meaningless now. It was obvious that the Serpent King had attacked the Da Qi State's fleet in the sea. However, the other party's experts tore apart its tendons and bones and made it into pieces of meat.
Zuo Zhicheng looked at the people who were transporting the snake meat for a while. When a group of cavalrymen came out of the manor to receive the snake carcass, he then slowly retreated. He planned to go to Ocean City to meet a few friends and ask them what was going on.
When he arrived at Qing Yue's house, Zuo Zhicheng walked around but did not find any trace of Qing Yueqiu. Zuo Zhicheng thought about it and decided to go to the Zhu Residence.
However, before he could get close to the Zhu Residence, he realized that hundreds of Da Qi State's soldiers had already surrounded the Zhu Residence. It was obvious that the entire Zhu Residence was under their control.
…
In the Zhu Residence's North Garden, Zhu Bang was lying on the grass and looking at the sun in the sky in boredom. However, although he was lying on the grass, there was still a gap between his body and the grass. It should be said that his entire body was floating on the grass.
Behind him, two strong men in military uniforms were guarding him. They seemed to be constantly monitoring Zhu Bang.
Suddenly, there were two bangs. Zhu Bang turned around and saw that the two soldiers had fallen to the ground. Zuo Zhicheng slowly walked out from the shadows.
"Since when can these useless people monitor you?" Zuo Zhicheng said coldly.
"Teacher?" Zhu Bang jumped into the air and looked at Zuo Zhicheng in surprise. "Teacher, you're finally back."
"What exactly happened?"
"The imperial court sent people over. They suppressed Ge Ao and Yan Gucheng, imprisoned the Lightning Commander and Feng Hou, and took away all the firearms that we made. They also took away the martial arts manual of the Northern Roc Style, our new disciples, and many things in the underground laboratory.
Of course, the newly built manor has become their Summer Palace. "
Zhu Bang did not say a word. Zuo Zhicheng's frown deepened. In the end, his frown had completely turned into the word "Chuan".
"Where are the others?"
Zhu Bang said carefully, "Shen Anan and Fei Bai are hiding in Zhongzhi. Qing Yueyang is biding her time and waiting for your return. Martial Uncle Jiang and the others are fine. They are hiding in the martial arts center for the time being. "
Just as they were talking, a long howl came from the other side of the Zhu Residence. Along with the sound of clothes tearing through the air, it was quickly approaching Zuo Zhicheng.
"Haha, I've waited a long time, Heavenly Snake King. I didn't expect you to come back so openly."
The long howl kept getting closer and closer, but Zuo Zhicheng did not even turn his head. He only looked at Zhu Bang and asked, "You mentioned so many people, but why didn't you mention Qing Yueqiu? I went over just now, but I couldn't find her. Where is she?"
Zhu Bang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened his mouth several times. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
Seeing Zuo Zhicheng's gaze getting colder and colder, he finally gathered his courage and said, "She's missing."
In the next moment, Zhu Bang felt as if the entire Zhu Residence had turned into hell. Boundless murderous intent soared into the sky, as if it was going to blow away the clouds in the sky.
The long howl from before stopped abruptly and turned into a series of exclamations.
"How dare you! Zuo Zhicheng, quickly withdraw your mental strength. "
A figure that was so fast that Zhu Bang could not even see pounced behind Zuo Zhicheng. However, after a scream, the figure flew past at an even faster speed.
Zuo Zhicheng slowly withdrew his bloodied fist and asked calmly, "Who did this?"
