Chapter 549: The favor of a meal back then saved a life

For several days, Sinless City remained as lively as ever.

This also puzzled the senior officials of the Iris Legion. The bait had been completely released, and many holes were even deliberately left in the defense of the warehouse, just waiting for someone to come and snatch back the loot.

But the strange thing is that the Oran Royal Court seems to have completely given up on the captured Titan armor production materials.

There is no sign of the layout of the Oran Royal Court in the city.

Not even the spy who came to investigate appeared.

What no one knows is that in the water towers, sewers, and air of Innocence City, some tiny bugs invisible to the naked eye have already spread throughout the city.

The fifth day after the auction.

There was still no sign of chaos in the city.

Ji Xun’s clone led the young genius slave Reike he bought and went out for a stroll as usual.

It was the last day of the warning Rainey issued.

The calmer the city became, the more curious Ji Xun became about what the people from the Oran Palace would do to rob those things in the heavily guarded Innocence City.

He knew that under the calmness, there must have been a plan.

Lunch time.

Uncle Gron’s Restaurant, 331 Downing Street.

Ji Xun ordered sumptuous food and enjoyed the food while looking at the bustling street scene through the glass.

Beside the table, an unconvinced young man was standing there waiting.

Ji Xun is not making things difficult for him.

Slaves should behave like slaves. If people are watching, they will see that being too nice to a slave will cause unnecessary trouble.

However, this young man didn’t appreciate it very much.

Looking at Ji Xun who forked pieces of steak into his mouth and chewed it slowly, Lake felt an unspeakable anger in his heart.

This guy seems to be doing it deliberately for himself.

Finally, he couldn't help asking the question he had been holding in his heart for several days: "Who sent you here?"

"Oh?"

Ji Xun was not surprised at all. He didn't even take a second look and asked, "What do you think?"

Lei Ke said coldly: "I thought you were sent by the Royal Court to save me. Now it seems that you are not. But you are not from the Southern Continent either."

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally and continued. Eating.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "An old friend wants to save your life. I'm just doing a favor."

However, Lake listened with disdain. He didn't believe that anyone How dare you risk your own life to help: "Haha, a poor excuse."

Young people are always restless The thoughts in my heart were directly expressed: "You just want to use me as bait to attract the masters of the Royal Court. Just give up. No matter what your purpose is, even if I die, you will never succeed. What’s more, just wait to die, His Majesty will definitely make you guys pay the price”

"Not stupid. But not very smart either."

Ji Xun listened with a slight smile on his lips.

Reni's identity is a wanted criminal. He probably doesn't want to recognize this illegitimate son yet, no, illegitimate grandson.

Old friends don’t know what to do next, and Ji Xun doesn’t want to talk more and tell the truth.

“You”

When Lake heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed, angry and embarrassed.

However, before he could say anything, Ji Xun asked again: "You are able to advance to the sixth level at your age and even touch the threshold of domineering. It is indeed good. I am very curious because of the moon god Arachne. An infinite dream?”

“Hmph!”

Hearing this, Lei Ke turned away proudly, thinking, as expected, he was here for the secret of his practice.

He thought Ji Xun wanted to find out his bottom, and responded coldly: "I don't know where you heard it. But you don't think that with the help of external objects, you can easily advance to level six. Level? ”

"."

Of course Ji Xun heard the smell of gunpowder in these words. Apparently the young man thought that he had underestimated his efforts and talents, and only thought that he was a state created by external things.

To others, the young man may indeed have said it right. He probably thought that others were trying to explore his advanced secrets again.

But for Ji Xun, he really just wanted to confirm something.

His understanding of the Silver Moon Sect is much deeper than this Lake.

Ji Xun's expression remained unmoved, but he suddenly thought that this was Reni's grandson, so he added another sentence: "Don't be so self-righteous. Have you ever thought about the possibility that your talent is not so good in the eyes of some people?" "It's probably just enough to catch the eye"

He's not bragging about himself.

Really talking about talent, Gong Wu, Qin Rushi, Chujiu, Nan Jing, Jia Yu. Ji Xun has many monster friends around him.

This guy is really not top-notch.

“.”

When Lake heard this, his expression was full of disdain.

If a handsome guy is called ugly, he must be jealous.

Similarly, if someone says that their talent is not good, they have an ulterior motive!

My own affinity for the thunder element is recognized as the most outstanding by the Oran Royal Court for thousands of years. In this guy's words, it's just "appealing to the eyes"?

Rake didn't want to deal with such ignorant talk.

But being despised, the young man was furious and could not control his anger.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he choked back: "Oh? So, you are very confident in your own strength?"

He has not seen anyone at the same level yet. than any card master who can compare with him.

“.”

Ji Xun shook his head, not interested in getting serious with a young man.

After spending the past few days together, he knew that Lake actually had a good heart.

They are just geniuses who grew up in a greenhouse and lacked the beatings from society.

I say so much just because he is Reni’s grandson.

We may meet again in the future.

Reike looked at Ji Xun's silence, but thought that the other party had nothing to say, and deliberately provoked: "Do you dare to take off the collar?! Let me experience your strength."


However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a "clang" and a rune key was thrown on the table.

Ji Xun then raised his eyes and gave the young man a meaningful look.

How could he not see this clumsy way of provoking the general? He wanted the collar key and was looking for an opportunity to escape?

I didn’t pay attention to it at first.

But it’s the fifth day now.

At the same time, Ji Xun also sensed that there was a very strong aura locking onto him.

Unlocking the collar also gives Lake a chance.

But Ji Xun also reminded: "I advise you not to think about escaping. Otherwise, many people will die. You will also kill the people who want to save you."

"."

Looking at the inexplicably serious Ji Xun, Reike suddenly realized something was wrong.

Without waiting for more thought, Ji Xun became interested again and said, "How about a bet? If you can't beat me, how about you become my follower?"

If this guy stays in the Oran Palace, , the future must be the enemy.

Since he is Reni’s grandson, he will definitely not be killed. Maybe he can be saved now.

Rike sneered and waved away his doubts. As if he had seen through his little thoughts, he did not agree, but asked: "Haha, are you the seventh level?"

In his opinion, it is only possible that the other party has the confidence to deceive him because of his state of oppression.

Within the same level, I am not afraid of anyone!

Ji Xun didn't care about this guy's arrogance.

Geniuses always have to be a little arrogant.

He smiled indifferently, "There is no need to suppress your realm to deal with you."

Rike is not stupid either, what he was waiting for was his words: "What if I win?"


Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Ji Xun's lips. Regarding this kind of battle that had no suspense at all, he said casually: "If you really want to win, I will give you a thunder artifact."

Lake looked like a fool to you and said sarcastically: "Artifact? Do you know what an artifact is?"

Having grown up in the Royal Court of Oran, he has seen too much. There are only a few treasures in the royal court that can be called artifacts. This guy has such a big tone.

“.”

Ji Xun shook his head, as if he didn’t even catch a glimpse of the little attempt to divert his attention by talking and secretly open the effort collar for himself.

Originally we could have chatted for a few more words, but suddenly, his eyes flashed, he raised his head and looked out the window, and murmured: "Are you here?"

On the street outside the window, a man in a cloak appeared. The mysterious man walked towards the restaurant step by step.

Ji Xun looked at the cloaked man in front of him and was not surprised that someone came to his door.

In the past few days, he took Lake and did not hide his whereabouts. At least he was always being watched by the people of the Iris Legion.

But the cloaked man in front of me is obviously not from Iris.

Ji Xun sensed a very dangerous aura on her body.

A few minutes ago, this aura locked onto him.

Ji Xun was not surprised that the other party would come looking for Lake, but what was surprising was that he came so blatantly?

Aren’t you afraid of the following scouts from the Iris Legion?

Obviously, the moment the cloaked man appeared, several powerful auras that had been hidden in the entire block gradually emerged.

"Tsk, tsk, that's interesting. Are you planning to be tough?"

An idea flashed in Ji Xun's mind, and the corner of his mouth raised a playful arc.

At this time, Lake on the side also noticed the cloaked man who was behaving strangely.

Before he could decide whether to find an opportunity to break out and escape, he suddenly heard a warning coming from his ear: "If you don't want to die, you'd better not move."

The voice Not big, but like thunder exploding in your ears.

Lake's eyes widened, as if his soul had sensed an inexplicable terror, and he was completely unable to move. He was even more shocked in his heart: "How could this guy have such a terrifying aura?" The moment he heard those words, he Goosebumps broke out on my back.

In the past few days together, it was the first time that he felt that the man in front of him had an unfathomable feeling.

It was as if what he heard was the whisper of the God of Death, as if he was afraid that if he really made any move, he would die suddenly on the spot.

The widened eyes seemed to be doubting themselves: Could this guy be serious about the conversation just now?

The display did not give the two of them a chance to say another word.

The not-too-tall but mysterious man in cloak had already entered the store.

Ji Xun kept staring at the cloaked person, looking at her uncovered jawline, feeling slightly familiar, as if he had seen her before somewhere.

But at this moment, nothing else matters.

The important thing is that he discovered that the cloaked man was not only coming for Lake, but also for himself?

At this moment, there are more than a dozen tables of customers in the restaurant, and two tables are being watched, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at the cloaked man.

The cloaked man didn't pay attention at all, and walked straight to Ji Xun's table, pulled up a stool and sat down without ceremony.

Ji Xun sensed the terrifying murderous aura and already guessed what it was. He laughed strangely in his heart: "Hey, it turns out that this is really going to be a big job."

Look By this time, he had already guessed what the Oran Royal Court was going to do.

But there was no trace of fear on his face, only an eerie smile that grew higher and higher at the corner of his mouth.

It has been a long time since he felt this kind of feeling that made his blood excited.

When Ji Xun saw the cloaked man sitting in front of him, he felt a terrifying pressure that made all the hair on his body stand up. However, he did not retreat at all. Instead, he asked with a sly smile: "Your Excellency, do we know each other?"

The mysterious man did not speak, but opened his cloak, revealing a face that was not very delicate.

The lips are as dark as ink, and there are very strange eye shadows. She looks young, and she is estimated to be a girl under ten years old.

But there is a disease-ridden pale complexion.

She closed her eyes tightly, as if she just wanted to show her face.

"."

Ji Xun looked at it carefully and still felt familiar, but still didn't remember it.

The mysterious woman said bluntly: "I want to take the person away. If you leave now, you can still survive."

The voice did not sound like a human being, but more like a buzzing insect.

When Ji Xun heard these words, he thought of too many things in his mind. He realized that this person might really know him.

That’s why I decided to take action without the first meeting.

But it was because he guessed the origin of the other party that he felt excited and asked: "Oh, are you so sure you can kill me?"

Ji Xun has never been afraid of death, let alone death. With his current strength, it would not be easy to kill him.

The mysterious woman was not angry at all, she just said: "Is your confidence because this is JOKER's clown stand-in?"

"."

Ji Xun was not surprised when he heard that someone had seen through the truth. Instead, he was sure of something and asked: "Tsk, tsk. Is your courage because of the 'Mysterious Insect Mother, Kalakta'?"

If you can name the clown stand-in at once, you have probably seen it before, so it can only be the Outer God, one of the seven lords of the natural disaster.

The person in front of me is not the original god, but the body descended from the god.

In the eyes of others, this may really scare them.

But Ji Xun had seen the Chosen Ones many times, such as the Scarlet Corruption, the Lord of War Disaster, and the Moon God. He didn’t think there was anything special about it.

It's not enough to threaten him with this.

As soon as these words came out, Lake was stunned.

What JOKER? What mysterious insect mother?

Is it the one you know?

His.

Lake took a deep breath and realized that there were probably two big shots sitting in front of him.

It sounded like a chatting tone, but after Ji Xundao revealed his identity as the cloaked woman, the whole restaurant felt like an ice cellar, and people felt a creepy murderous aura.

However, Ji Xun, who was across the table, still had a bright smile on his face, staring at the cloaked woman opposite him without fear.

This mysterious woman was trembling all over, as if she was suppressing the murderous intention in her heart.

The murderous intention was very contradictory. It seemed that he wanted to kill directly, but he also tried his best to restrain it.

After a moment, her trembling body calmed down, and her eyes that had been closed opened.

What Ji Xun saw was a pair of strange eyes that looked like the compound eyes of an insect, with their sockets filled with dense golden eyes.

Just looking at each other, as if they were looking into each other's eyes, Ji Xun's clone's eyes were left with gurgling blood.

But he still did not flinch. Instead, he grinned: "Tsk, tsk, with these eyes, do you want to kill everyone in the Innocence City?"

He looked Looking at these eyes, he recognized a forbidden secret technique - [Gu God].

Back then, the "Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs" plundered the Central Continent, causing the powerful Talon Empire to collapse.

The methods of the ‘Mysterious Insect Mother-Karakta’, one of the seven natural disasters, are extremely cruel.

Ji Xun looked through many related records and recorded that the method used by the foreign god to select the divine body was to raise Gu!

Use the bodies of countless children as petri dishes for bugs to devour and fight each other. The one who survives in the end is the Gu God.

It is said that once the [Gu God] comes out, all living things will be banned.

This guy is going on a killing spree.

“.”

The mysterious woman did not speak. She took a look, and the countless golden eyes that turned to numb the scalp also stabilized.

The murderous intention in his heart seemed to be completely suppressed.

She had no intention of taking action at all, so she raised her hand, and a piece of black bread on another table not far away floated into the air, and then fell into her hand.

As if in a very solemn ceremony, she placed the bread in front of Ji Xun, and then said in a very soft tone: "I have paid back what I owed you back then."

Finally, she turned and left. I went and said again: "Thank you."

It was as if I had fulfilled my last wish for myself back then.

This turn around.

She is no longer the little girl she was back then.

"."

At this moment, Ji Xun's strangely smiling expression suddenly froze on his face.

He understood instantly!

No wonder it always felt familiar.

He finally recognized who the person in front of him was!

Back then, in Innocence City, on the covered bridge outside the Hunter's Guild, a clown saw a pair of begging siblings, and then performed a magic trick on them, conjuring a loaf of black bread.

Ji Xun still remembers that the little girl who was his sister said her name was Ning!

That meeting seemed like a promise to see each other again.

Today.

See you.

A beginning with a cause leads to a result.

But at this moment of awakening, Ji Xun didn't know why, but an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

I once gave a little kindness inadvertently and never expected to get anything in return.

However.

A meal saves a life.

When we meet again, the little girl is no longer the "Ning" she used to be.

The "thank you" just now was a farewell to my past self.

Next time we meet, it will be a life and death fight.

“.”

Ji Xun didn’t know why, but he seemed to fall into a strong sense of confusion and complex emotions.

The smile on his lips was still there, but there was no trace of it anymore.

Clowns bring happiness to people.

At this moment, he himself fell into an extreme depression.

He didn't know why.

Just very frustrated.

Are you sad about the world, or about the little girl named "Ning"?

As if in just one thought, his heart was completely different.

I thought that seeing the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood would not change my expression anymore, but because of a little girl turning around, Ji Xun's eyes showed confusion.

Knowing that the person came to save him, Reike followed Ning out.

Ji Xun didn’t want to stop him.

This one is here, Lake can't die.

The result that old friend Reni wants is just to keep his grandson alive, so there is no need for Ji Xun to stop him.

But if he didn’t stop them, it was impossible for those members of the Iris Corps to let them go.

The informants at the two tables received the order and stood up at the same time.

However, the cloaked man didn't even look twice.

Before the enemy could take action, each of these people's faces looked like flower petals blooming, and they were torn into monsters with mouths full of teeth.

Bosses, guests, and waiters all turned into monsters.

The huge restaurant instantly turned into a lair of terrifying monsters.

How could Ji Xun not understand that these guys had long been possessed by insect eggs?

No,

It's not just them.

What was polluted was the entire innocent city.
