After walking for another half an hour, the three of them arrived at the gate of the Sikong Clan's city. However, the city gate was closed and the guards above the city were on full alert.
At the gate of the city, more than a thousand people have gathered: "Let us go in. We have been living in the city of the Sikong clan, and we just went out for training two days ago."
" The lord has an order not to open the city gate for the next few days. We will come back in a few days," the captain of the tower guard replied, not showing any emotion at all for the presence of more than a thousand people.
More than a thousand people are quite helpless. They have been waiting here for two days, but the city gate has been closed. They don’t understand why the lord gave this order!
"We must go in. If it doesn't open, we can only smash the door." Some people with bad tempers had already taken out their weapons in desperation, and they couldn't wait any longer.
"Kill without mercy, if you dare to cause trouble." The guard captain waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers mounted their bows and crossbows. The bows and arrows were also suspended with flame-like aura as a deterrent.
More than a thousand people were frightened and quickly retreated a few hundred meters. This scene was seen by Luo Dan and the others. Sikong Linglei naturally had a very frustrated face. What if the city gate did not allow people to enter? What should I do?
In order to bring the news back, Sikong Linglei stepped forward despite the threat of bows and crossbows: "I am Sikong Linglei, a descendant of the Sikong clan. If I have important information, I must meet the lord. I hope it will be convenient, it is related to the safety of the entire Sikong clan. "Dangerous."
"There have been too many similar reasons in the past two days, all just to enter the city." The guard captain sneered and shook his head. After careful calculation, there were at least dozens of people saying this. Without exception, they were all lies, and they were eventually thrown into prison.
Sikong Linglei was unwilling to give in and continued: "I am different from others. I have proof. I can tell you the ancestral precepts of the Sikong clan."
"Everyone in the city knows the ancestral teachings." The guard captain waved his hand: "If you know the Sikong clan's cultivation method to prove it for yourself, I might be able to teach you."
After hearing this, Sikong Linglei smiled bitterly. Since he was sent by the lord to be a spy for the Demonic Heaven Sect ten years ago, in order to prevent others from finding out the clues, he did not practice the Sikong clan's skills, but chose the most common and widespread ones in the world. .
"You are indeed a liar. I order you to retreat immediately, otherwise I will have someone take action." The guard captain showed a wry smile. The crossbows of hundreds of soldiers were already aimed at Sikong Linglei, as if the opponent was If you don't retreat, a hail of arrows will come in an instant.
Faced with this situation, Sikong Linglei couldn't help but shook his head. After all his efforts, he finally returned to his city, but he was stopped by the guards at the city gate. This bitterness is even more painful than being chased by the Demon Tianmen.
Luo Dan smiled faintly and walked over: "I would like to ask, for no reason, why is your city so defensive? Is it because there is an enemy attack?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." The guard captain didn't want to answer. He was even extremely impatient. More than a thousand others had already stepped back. Why are these people still chattering here? Do they have to kill the chickens themselves to scare the monkeys?
More than a thousand people in the distance also smiled scornfully. These three people thought too highly of themselves. Do you really think the guards would give them a break? It's better to wait outside the city with them. Maybe the city will be opened in two or three days.
The reason why Luo Dan asked that was because he suspected that Sikong Linglei had already learned about the Demonic Heaven Clan, so he closed the city to prevent people with ulterior motives. However, the guard was unwilling to tell a few people, so that Luo Dan couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
Buck Yun took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it up. The guard captain originally thought it was an enemy and directly ordered the archers and crossbowmen to attack the bag. However, with their cultivation level, they naturally could not stop this bag. The spirit stone landed firmly on the tower, and the guard captain was shocked when he opened it.
This bag of spirit stones contains at least one thousand, which is equivalent to half a year's salary. I have to say that this person is too generous. He couldn't help coughing, and then put the spirit stones away, but next to him The more than one hundred bows and crossbowmen were naturally staring at them.
"I'll treat you to tea when I have time. I'll give you two spiritual stones for each person." After all, he is the captain. Naturally, he can't treat his brothers badly. There are more than a hundred archers and crossbowmen at the gate of the city. Even if one person is given two pieces of spiritual stone. Yuan, I can still save five or six hundred.
Of course, in addition to the archers and crossbowmen, there are many masters in the darkness of the city tower. Naturally, the guard captain does not intend to separate these people. After all, they are not his subordinates.
The guard captain's face softened and he looked at Buck Cloud: "The lord has given an order. In normal times, I might be able to open the door a little bit, but you can't go in today. But according to the current situation, we will wait for a while. The city gate should be opened in two days. "
"Can you ask me what happened?" Buck Yun curled his lips and couldn't help but feel speechless. Why would you accept your spiritual stone if you can't let a few people in? ? He knew that the other party would definitely not give the spirit stone back, so he could only ask about some things.
After all, he had collected spiritual stones from others. The guard captain thought for a while and said: "Previously, the Zhuge clan, the lord next to me, had a city defense formation, which caused many forces to come to compete for opportunities. Although they were finally settled. , but the major forces that are ready to move are not restless.”
"The lord is afraid that we will be implicated, and that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to destroy the city, so he decided to temporarily close the city gate. The city on Zhuge Yunzhen's side is already on the right track, and our side is probably fine, so there is no need to take strict precautions. ”
When talking about Zhuge Yunzhen, the guard captain showed a trace of envy in his eyes. Rumor has it that he has become a useless man, but he can use a terrifying formation to kill a quasi-holy priest alive and frighten all nearby forces. This is How terrifying and powerful?
In the next few decades, it is estimated that no one will dare to go to the Zhuge clan to cause trouble, and I also pray that one day I can be as outstanding as him, but it is a pity that I am still a small guard captain, and my realm is not as good as him. It’s just the throne of perfection.
Luo Dan finally understood the reason. It turned out to be because of this. However, after he beheaded the head of the Taishang Sect that day, Zhuge Yunzhen's side was at peace and could not affect Sikong. As for the clan, they still have to be on guard or even close the city gate?
"You are the boss of the guard. Go tell Sikong Linglei that Luo Dan is visiting." Luo Dan said, since the guard will not let him in, let Sikong Linglei come out to greet him personally. He believed that Sikong Linglei would give up his reputation when he heard his name.
That day when he was dealing with the Nangong clan, he had a chance encounter with Sikong Linglei. He knew that he had an unusual relationship with Zhuge Yunzhen. In addition, Zhuge Yunzhen already had the ability to kill the quasi-holy throne, and if Sikong Linglei inquired, One can infer that he is Zhuge Yunzhen's helper.
The guard captain was stunned for a moment and said: "Can you buy me with a thousand spirit stones? What kind of worth do you have to dare to call the lord by his name? I advise you not to make trouble for nothing, for the sake of the spirit stone just now , I pretended not to hear it, but there will be no next time." "That's all, I don't want to talk nonsense." Luo Dan didn't bother to explain so much, and jumped up to the tower, preparing to go directly to the city to find Sikong Linglei.
Seeing this scene, the guard captain quickly asked more than a hundred archers and crossbowmen to attack. Arrows flew into the sky like snowflakes, making more than a thousand people in the distance gasp. Liang Qi, with such a terrifying attack, even the Perfect Throne will be beaten into pieces.
You must know that bows and arrows are not ordinary, but special bows and arrows with magic attached to them. Each bow and arrow is forged by a strong master. More than a hundred bows and arrows are equivalent to one strike from more than a hundred strong masters. All People scoffed and wondered where Luodan had the courage to break into the city?
Luo Dan waved out his palm, and the bows and arrows all over the sky seemed to have malfunctioned. They all suddenly fell to the ground. Luo Dan had already stepped onto the city tower, and then knocked down more than a hundred people with one move. Then he walked up to the guard captain.
"Which direction is the lord's mansion?" Faced with Rodan's question, although the guard captain was nervous and fearful, he still said nothing and did not answer.
As a member of the Sikong clan, how can I compromise with the enemy? So what if Rodan knocks him down, the masters in the city will definitely arrive soon, and Rodan is dead.
Sikong Linglei and Bak Yun also flew up, leaving more than a thousand people dumbfounded. At the same time, they also wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the city. However, when they thought that they might be attacked by the Sikong clan later, He even thought that they were on the same side as Rodan, but he gave up after thinking about it.
“No, I know.” Sikong Linglei said, so that Luo Dan did not need to interrogate the guard captain. After all, he only left the Sikong clan ten years ago. He had lived here for more than thirty years since he was a child. Even if Things and people in the city have changed, so the general layout should not have changed.
Luo Dan nodded, and the three of them flew into the city. The guard captain also raised the alarm at this moment, and a series of harsh and loud sounds came out. All the Sikong clan masters in the city were immediately alert and flew towards the city gate. Come.
In less than a minute, more than a dozen figures surrounded the three of Luo Dan. Each of these dozen figures was in the realm of domination. At a glance, it was clear that they were the strongest warriors of the Sikong clan. They were so strong that everyone even sacrificed their own magic weapon.
"Dare you trespass on our Sikong clan?" One of them glanced at Luodan and the other three and asked, "Which force are you sent by? Do you know that this act is a declaration of war on the Sikong clan? Tell me quickly, otherwise we will take action to suppress them."
"Fifth Elder, I am Sikong Linglei." Sikong Linglei looked at these dozen people and suddenly recognized them. The identity of the person who spoke was so surprising that he spoke out.
The leader of the old man was stunned for a moment. The name Sikong Linglei was indeed very familiar. He seemed to be a descendant of the Sikong clan but he couldn’t remember it. He looked at Sikong Linglei carefully. , suddenly understood, isn’t this the person who made a mistake and was kicked out of the Sikong clan ten years ago?
The fifth elder asked the others to take back their weapons, and then asked: "Back then, you made a mistake and were kicked out, but today you don't come back with a greeting? Do you want to take revenge on the lord?"
"This is a matter of course. Commander, I didn’t make any mistakes back then, but the Sikong clan needed some spies to investigate the situation of other forces, so the lord expelled more than a dozen people from the Sikong clan, just to avoid suspicion.”
Already Returning to the Sikong clan, Sikong Linglei told the truth: "I have important information, can you arrange for me to see the lord immediately? It is related to the life and death of the entire Sikong clan, and even several nearby lords."
Fifth Elder Lost in thought, he was thinking about how true and false Sikong Linglei's words were. Back then, it was known to everyone that he was expelled from the Sikong clan for making a big mistake. Now, Sikong Linglei said that all this was just a drama with the leader. In fact, he was expelled from the Sikong clan. monitored by other forces.
You wouldn’t tell such a lie, would you? After all, the lord will be exposed as soon as he sees him. Unless Sikong Linglei wants to attack the lord, he deceives himself. However, the lord is already a quasi-holy priest, and these three people are not a threat no matter how they look at it. I think what Sikong Linglei said is true. It's true.
The fifth elder smiled lightly and said: "The lord is not in the city, but he should be back soon. How about you go to the lord's mansion and wait?"
"Okay." Although Sikong Linglei was anxious, he still This was the only way. After the Demonic Gate failed to stop him, their plan would be implemented immediately. Several major nearby lords were in danger, but except for the lord, he didn't believe anyone.
The group arrived at the city lord's mansion. The fifth elder asked people to make tea for Luo Dan and the other three, while he went to inform the deputy lord to find out.
The deputy lord Sikong Yiyi learned everything and said: "The lord sent many spies back then, but I am not sure that Sikong Linglei is one of them. Let me go over and ask. It's interesting. It is really illogical for a spy to suddenly come back. "
Even if the spies make a major discovery, they must have used letters or something like that. If they rush back to the Sikong clan, they either failed or were instigated to rebel. No matter what, Sikong Linglei is a serious suspect and must not be believed easily. Maybe there is a huge conspiracy planned.
Seeing the deputy lord pass, the fifth elder breathed a sigh of relief and then led the people away. The deputy lord has supreme prestige in the Sikong clan and is also the first person under the lord. He has always been loyal to the Sikong clan and is respected by all clan members. exist.
As soon as he arrived in the hall, Sikong Yiyi was ready to scare a few people: "Who dares to come to smear the Sikong clan? We have never sent spies, what is your purpose?"
"Vice Lord , I am Sikong Linglei. "Sikong Linglei hurriedly greeted him as soon as he saw the person. He is a descendant of the Sikong clan and a descendant of Sikong Yiyi.
The deputy lord Sikong Yiyi recognized Sikong Linglei, but he was very suspicious: "Generally speaking, intermediaries will lurk in other sects throughout their lives, unless they die or that sect is destroyed. You won’t come back easily, so why did you return to the Sikong clan?”
< br>"It's a big deal." Sikong Linglei had no intention of hiding it from the deputy lord: "The spies arranged by the three major lords and the seven major sects have all found out one thing in common, that is, the Demonic Sky Sect intends to deal with We started, and it has already gathered dozens of masters and hundreds of thrones.”
"Seriously?" Sikong Yiyi couldn't help but take a breath. Naturally, the Demonic Heaven Sect himself knew that it was the most vicious sect in the Demonic Way. He had always been ruthless in his dealings with others. He was the sworn enemy of all the major lords and sects, and they were incompatible with each other. relationship. (End of this chapter)
