The interception of Luoying Stream is like a stone thrown into a calm lake. After the ripples disperse, there is a deeper undercurrent under the lake. Ruofeng knew full well that the defeat of Youying Tower would never be the end, and the road ahead would only become more dangerous. But there was no fear in his heart, only the cold murderous intention and the anxiety of returning home.
Zhui Feng seemed to be able to sense his master's mood, and flew with his hooves, quickly leaving the scenery on both sides of the ancient road behind him. The power of Nirvana has a remarkable nourishing effect on it. Its body seems to be a little plumper, and its coat color is getting darker and glossier. When it runs, there is a faint sound of wind and thunder, and it looks like an extraordinary horse.
Two days later, the outline of a city far more majestic and prosperous than Black Rock City finally appeared on the horizon. The blue-grey city wall towers into the clouds, like a creeping giant beast. The city gate is bustling with traffic and people are shouting. É a cidade de Qingyun!
The closer he got, the calmer Ruofeng's heart became. He reined in the reins and stopped at a tea shed a few miles away from the city gate. He ordered a bowl of crude tea and silently looked at the familiar city, listening to the chatter going back and forth in the tea shed.
"Have you heard? Lin Fan, the young master of the Lin family, will hold a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion in three days. It is said that the elder of the inner sect of Lian Yunlan Sect will come in person and will officially accept him as his disciple!"
"Tsk, tsk, that's amazing! The Lin family is really going to soar into the sky this time! From now on, in Qingyun City, the Lin family will be the top one."
"Oh, it's a pity that Ruofeng, the boy from the Ruo family, was originally a proud man of heaven, but he fell off the cliff and died inexplicably. Otherwise..."
"Hush! Be careful! Who dares to mention Ruofeng's name in the city now? Haven't you seen what the Ruofeng family has become now? I heard that his parents are about to be forced out of the family core..."
The chatters among the tea guests were not loud, but they reached Ruofeng's ears clearly. Every word was like a cold needle pricking his heart. Lin Fan's success, his family's troubles, and his parents' difficult situation... the situation was worse than he imagined!
He put down the tea bowl, and the bottom of the bowl made a slight knocking sound against the rough wooden table. His face was expressionless, but the knuckles of the hand holding the reins were slightly white from exertion.
“Vamos, Zhui Feng.” He got on his horse and his voice was calm.
Just as he was riding his horse towards the city gate, in the corner of the tea shed, an old man wearing a bamboo hat and looking like an ordinary businessman suddenly flashed his cloudy eyes. He stared at Ruofeng's back, especially the mysterious black horse under his crotch. He murmured in a low voice: "This horse... this aura... is... impossible. That kind of blood has long since disappeared... but this young man..."
The old man put down a few copper coins, his figure blended into the crowd as quietly as a ghost, and followed him from a distance.
At the east gate of Qingyun City, there were obviously several times more soldiers guarding the city than in the past, and the inspections were particularly strict, especially for young lone travelers. Ruofeng was even keenly aware that in the darkness of the tower, there were several obscure and powerful auras scanning the crowd below. One of the auras gave him a faint sense of familiarity, but it was mixed with an uncomfortable coldness.
"It seems that Lin Fan's 'welcome ceremony' is well prepared." Ruofeng zombou em seu coração.
When it was Ruofeng's turn to enter the city, a soldier who looked like a captain looked at him sideways, especially Zhui Feng, who looked at Jun for a few more times, and said in an arrogant tone: "Hey, boy, where did it come from? What does it do? This horse is good, where did you steal it?"
Ruofeng suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "A hunter from Black Rock City came to the city to sell some mountain goods." At this moment, he was restrained, his clothes were ordinary, and he did look like a young hunter with some ability.
"Órion?" The captain sneered, reaching out to grab Zhui Feng's reins. "The origin of this horse is unknown. Let me go to the defense and find out!"
This is clearly looking for trouble, and may even be to investigate the target "Ruofeng"! Several soldiers gathered around him, looking at him with evil eyes.
Os olhos de Ruofeng ficaram frios. He didn't want to fight at the city gate and cause a commotion, but he would never tolerate such bullying!
At this moment, Zhui Feng seemed to be irritated by the soldier's rudeness and snorted violently. His big front hooves scratched the ground irritably, making a dull "dong-dong" sound. An invisible coercion faintly spread out, causing the horses to neigh uneasily and retreat.
"Huh?" In the darkness of the tower, the cold and familiar aura condensed slightly, seeming to pay more attention to the lower part.
"Como você ousa ser tão cruel!" O capitão ficou com tanta raiva que caiu em desgraça. He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Ruofeng, "Boy, I think you are a spy! Let me capture both this boy and this crazy horse!"
The surrounding soldiers showed their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became tense! The people queuing up to enter the city let out a cry of surprise and backed away.
Ruofeng sat on the horse, his eyes swept over the soldiers, and finally settled on the captain's face, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth: "Are you sure you want to take action?"
His voice was not high, but it carried an invisible pressure, which made the captain's heart tremble inexplicably. But the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. Ele mordeu a bala e gritou: “Pegue!”
Vários soldados enfrentaram e avançaram!
“Humph!”
Ruofeng didn't even dismount, he just gently pinched the horse's belly with his legs. Zhui Feng connected with his mind, suddenly stood up, and let out a loud scream that sounded like cracking gold and cracking stone! This neighing no longer sounds like a horse, but instead carries a faint majesty of the king of beasts!
As ondas sonoras se espalham como substância! The soldiers who rushed forward felt severe pain in their eardrums and their blood was boiling. They were staggered by the sound wave and could hardly hold the weapons in their hands!
The captain who bore the brunt of the attack turned pale from the roar that contained a hint of dragon power. He stepped back and fell to the ground, looking at Zhui Feng in horror.
In the darkness of the city tower, the owner of the cold aura seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. He let out a soft "Hey", and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared from the darkness!
Porém, neste momento
"Presumptuous! Who dares to act wild at the gate of Qingyun City!"
A strong cold shout came from inside the city gate. I saw a group of city lord's palace guards with bright armor and powerful aura walking out quickly. The leader was the leader, with a resolute face, and his cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building!
The appearance of this team of personal guards instantly calmed the scene. Seeing this, the owner of the cold aura hesitated for a moment, then quietly retreated into the darkness.
The guard commander of the city lord's palace glanced at the scene like lightning, and finally landed on Ruofeng and Zhuifeng. Ele ficou especialmente em Zhuifeng por um momento. Um traço de surpresa brilhou em seus olhos. Then he looked at the city guard captain who fell to the ground and said coldly: "Captain Zhang, what's going on?"
O capitão Zhang levantou-se, apontou para Ruofeng e gritou: “Comandante Wang! Esse cara está agindo de forma suspeita e esse cavalo é ainda mais estranho. Suspeito que ele seja um espião!
O comandante Wang o ignorou, mas olhou para Ruofeng, com um tom relativamente calmo: “Este irmão mais novo, sou Wang Gang, o comandante da guarda pessoal do palácio do senhor da cidade.
Ruofeng could feel that the commander-in-chief had no ill intentions, and even had a hint of protection. Ele cerrou os punhos e saudou, e não disse nem humilde nem arrogantemente: “Comandante Wang Mingjian, sou apenas um caçador comum que vem à cidade para vender produtos da montanha.
Commander Wang looked at the crowd around him again, and many people nodded silently. It was obvious that everyone had seen what happened just now.
Wang Gang entendeu claramente e lançou um olhar frio ao capitão Zhang: “Lixo! Volte ao trabalho! Se você se atrever a abusar de seu poder novamente, será severamente punido!”
Captain Zhang was so frightened that he fled with his men.
Wang Gang then said to Ruofeng: "Little brother, your horse is extraordinary and needs to be carefully guarded. Please enter the city." Ele deu um passo para o lado e saiu do caminho.
“Obrigado, Comandante Wang.” Ruofeng took a deep look at Wang Gang, cupped his fists, and shook the reins lightly. Zhuifeng deu passos elegantes e poderosos, carregando Ruofeng nas costas, e navegou calmamente até o Portão da Cidade Qingyun sob o olhar de incontáveis olhos surpresos, curiosos e admirados.
Just as his figure disappeared into the shadows inside the city gate, on top of the city tower, a young man with a sinister face, dressed in Yunlan Sect clothing, slowly appeared, staring in the direction where Ruofeng disappeared, his eyes flickering.
“Aquela aura… e aquele cavalo… poderia realmente ser ele?
"Sim!" The shadow took the order and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Os cantos dos lábios do jovem sinistro se curvaram em um arco cruel: “Ruofeng, Ruofeng, mesmo que você tenha a sorte de sobreviver, você ainda se atreve a voltar, mas está apenas se jogando em uma armadilha!
The wind in Qingyun City began to turn quietly because of a dark horse and a returning boy.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is coming to fill the building.
