Chapter 795
Han Li naturally had doubts about what happened after he met the Black Weasel Queen, but he didn't open his mouth to ask.
At first, he thought that he broke through the realm and attracted the attention of these monster kings, which led to him being hunted down, but now he realized that things were not that simple, Shi Chuankong seemed to be the target of the opponent.
As one of the ten troubles, King Heilu was so polite to Shi Chuankong this time, which should have something to do with his identity, but Shi Chuankong didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so it was inconvenient for him to ask.
But in any case, currently in the Shibai Mountain Range, his best choice is to attach himself to Shi Chuankong, and he will make all plans after leaving here.
Three days later, the two of Han Li set off for Xiongju City through the secret trading channel established between Black Weasel City and Xiongju City.
months later.
In the south of the Demon Realm, there is a long and steep mountain range, like a moat that stretches between the Shizhe Mountain Range and the Fengguang Plain. In a slightly lower mountain depression in the middle, a huge city wall hundreds of feet high is built.
The wall is made of black boulders, engraved with complicated runes, covered with a faint mist, it looks gray, and a huge plaque can be seen on the top of the wall, which reads "Xiong City" three times. Character.
Below the plaque is a huge round arched opening, with a smaller side door on each side.
The largest main gate and the city gate in the left gate are closed, only the right gate is open, and there are a team of demon soldiers in black armor on duty on both sides.
There were few pedestrians near the gate, and it looked quite deserted. On a road outside the city that became more and more deserted as it got farther away from the city, two figures walked together and slowly came towards this side.
One of them was burly, dark-skinned, rough-looking, with a black horn between his eyebrows, and was wearing a green leather armor. There are some golden scales, and some demon traces can also be seen.
"Brother Shi, why didn't we enter the city with the caravan arranged by King Black Weasel, but we separated halfway and then entered Xiongju City?" the man with golden scales on his cheek asked.
"Brother Li doesn't know. Although Xiongjucheng has business contacts with King Heiwei, it is a private transaction behind the scenes, and it can't be on the stage. I have a special status and it is even more difficult to get involved." The tall man explained. .
These two people were none other than Han Li and Shi Chuankong who had returned all the way from the Ten Sorrows Mountain Range.
While talking, the two came to the gate of the city, and were immediately stopped by the guards.
"Bring out the ultimatum." The leader, a demon soldier who looked like a wolf, stretched out his palm and said to the two.
Shi Chuankong grinned, and with a twist of his wrist, he took out two palm-sized black jade tokens and handed them over.
The demon soldier took it over, looked carefully for a while, then looked up at Han Li and the two, and asked, "It's an ultimatum issued by the Youshanbo Mansion. It's so far away from this Xiongju city. Enter here?"
"They are all running errands for the adults, no matter how far they are, they have to do it, right?" Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
"There is no problem with the ultimatum, let's go in." The demon soldier handed back the two black jade plaques and said.
"Thank you." Shi Chuankong hurriedly thanked him, and led Han Li towards the entrance.
After entering the coupon door, Shi Chuankong handed a jade plaque to Han Li, and said, "In the future, you will need to use this token, so you should take one with you."
"What's going on with the Uncle Youshan Mansion on this ultimatum?" Han Li asked after taking the jade tablet.
"The sanctuary is different from your fairy world. Although there are separate forces from various parties, my father is generally the master, and there are several princes and princes under him who command different regional forces. This Uncle Youshan is one of them. One." Shi Chuankong explained.
"Then you are the son of the demon lord, so you should belong to the first level of king?" Han Li nodded and asked again.
"In the sanctuary, blood is important, but in the end, strength is the most important thing. If you want to win the title of King Yi, you must be at least at the level of Da Luo, and you must have certain meritorious service or support from the background. I Now there is no fiefdom, and naturally no title, but most of Guangyuanzhai's resources can be used." Shi Chuankong said with a wry smile.
"I see." Han Li nodded and said.
The thickness of this city wall was far beyond Han Li's expectations, and the door openings below were all hundreds of feet long.
The two walked out of the gate of the city slowly. There was no shelter on the top of their heads. The sky suddenly brightened, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
However, as soon as Han Li stepped out of the city gate, he couldn't help frowning slightly, a little uncomfortable.
The demonic energy dominating the heaven and the earth inside the city was actually several times stronger than outside the city.
Although all the way back to the north, Han Li had already discovered that the more he went north, the stronger the devilish energy between the heavens and the earth, but he was a little caught off guard by the strong change of the devilish energy just separated by a city wall.
"When this majestic city was built, it was blessed by the master of the sanctuary formation. It can hold the demonic energy between heaven and earth in it. After leaving the city and going north, it may not be stronger than in the city." Shi Chuan Seeing the strange color on Han Li's face, Kong Kong said with a smile.
"Compared to this majestic city, the Ten Sorrows Mountain Range is indeed a barren area with little demon energy." Han Li nodded and said.
"Brother Li, are you still used to the change in the devilish energy? If you really can't adapt, I have a Qi-locking pill here, which can help you lock the devilish energy you inhaled into your body." Shi Chuankong asked.
"It's okay. If it's this level, it's okay. There's not much discomfort." Han Li shook his head and said.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Li is a Taiyi realm monk after all, so even if you don't resist this devilish energy, it won't have much effect." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
Inside the city gate is an open square. Going inward, there is a stone avenue leading straight to the center of the city. The buildings on both sides are dense and dense, and the closer you go to the center, the taller it is.
The architectural style of the entire Xiongju City is relatively unique. Most of the houses are built of black boulders. Among them, domes and spires are the main ones. There are few gabled buildings that are common in the fairy world. Sculpture decoration.
Among them, the most common ones are some grotesque sculptures of strange beasts, and there are also some strange women with wings on their backs. All in all, looking at them all the way, Han Li was greatly amazed.
In the neighborhood near the city gate, there are few shops, most of them are small businesses with low households at bottom gates, and the pedestrians among them are also in a slump, looking somewhat depressed, but the further you go into the city, the more pedestrians on the street , and it became more lively.
"Should we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion and borrow the teleportation array?" Han Li asked.
"No hurry, there is a branch of Guangyuanzhai in Xiongju City, let's go there first." Shi Chuankong smiled and said.
Han Li nodded upon hearing this, but said nothing more.
Not long after, the two came to an animal stable in the city, hired a animal cart with money, and the driver drove them along the main road in the city, all the way to the north of the city.
Passing through the city, Han Li saw a tall building covering a large area from a distance, hidden in a green garden.
"That should be the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Han Li asked.
"That's right, that's the City Lord's Mansion. The current City Lord is Tian Yuehou." Shi Chuankong glanced at him and said.
"Marquis Tianyue?" Han Li asked with some doubts.
"If the lord of an ordinary city is an earl at most, such as Fenyong Bo, Qinglin Bo, etc. Xiongju City is different from other places. It is responsible for guarding the southern wilderness and preventing the invasion of the Ten Troubled Mountains. The responsibility is not small. That's why the marquis is stationed. In fact, including the large territory north of the majestic city, it is also under its jurisdiction." Shi Chuankong explained.
"I see." Han Li nodded slightly, and muttered to himself.
The animal cart bypassed the city lord's mansion all the way to the north, and turned into a very grand street.
On both sides of the street, there are rows of magnificent buildings with high plaques, and there are shops selling magical medicines.
As soon as they entered this street, the flow of people immediately became dense, and the speed of the beast car had to slow down, carrying the two of them slowly.
The driver originally wanted to introduce the situation of the various shops on the street to the two of them, and by the way recommended them to those shops that promised him dividends. He was no stranger to Xiong Ju City, so he shut his mouth sensibly.
On the way, Shi Chuankong told Han Li a lot about the backgrounds of the shops he saw along the way.
"Brother Shi, why are you so familiar with this Xiongju City?" Han Li asked with flickering eyes.
Shi Chuankong didn't answer directly, but replied via voice transmission: "When I started to get involved in Guangyuanzhai's business, it was from Xiongju City that I knew so clearly about the situation in the Shibai Mountain Range. "
"It seems that this is Brother Shi's base camp." Han Li nodded suddenly.
"You can put it that way." Shi Chuankong grinned.
While the two were talking, a seven-story building appeared on the opposite side of the road, also in the shape of a spire, decorated with exquisite and gorgeous sculptures and various complicated patterns, and a plaque hung vertically on it, which read "Guangyuanzhai "Three words.
When the beast cart approached, Han Li thought that he was about to reach the destination, but Shi Chuankong just glanced at the gate of Guangyuanzhai, then turned his gaze to the front, and directed the driver to continue driving the beast cart.
"Why didn't you enter after passing the gate of Guangyuanzhai?" Han Li frowned slightly, and asked via voice transmission.
"This..." Shi Chuankong hesitated.
"Brother Shi, although I promised to go back to Yeyang City with you, this is not the only way to go. If you deliberately conceal something, please forgive me for going the same way with you again. We might as well part ways." Han Li said via voice transmission.
"Brother Li, don't be in a hurry, let me settle down first, and then tell you the reason in detail?" Shi Chuankong sighed and replied via voice transmission.
Han Li didn't speak, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded silently
