Chapter 56: The Kingdom's Conspiracy
The crows also appeared here, of course they had other purposes.
The Kingdom organization not long ago.
There is a place called Tartarus on the edge of the Soul Street. There are no traces of humans, nor the wailing of the dead. Here, there is only endless darkness.
Here, the ground is covered with snow-white datura flowers. It is rumored that anyone who enters this place will never find the exit and will only gradually lose themselves in the long night. Therefore, it has become a forbidden place known to everyone.
The magnificent western-style castle stood tall, piercing the clouds, exuding an eerie feeling. Armored and well-armored undead soldiers were on guard and patrolling nearby.
Three tall black figures slowly approached a heavy, simple black iron door, and the evil spirit soldiers guarding the door bowed their heads respectfully. The bald man in the lead had a pale face, a black and white fur coat, a sinister look in his eyes, thin and pointed ears, a strange black and red pattern painted on his face, and heavy eyeshadow.
The Ninth Knight of the Kingdom, Count Nora!
"You guys wait here." The man walked forward alone.
"Yes!" The two people following behind said in unison.
"Inside is not a place you can bear." The bald man placed his hands with sharp nails on the cold iron door with a deep look in his eyes.
"This iron door can only be opened by people with a Jiaore level or above. It is also to prevent unauthorized entry by unauthorized persons."
The bald man growled, and the heavy iron door creaked and slowly opened.
The long red carpet leads all the way to the entrance, with golden pillars and magnificent carvings all around. Two rows of skylights above allow a large, bright full moon to be seen from inside the building. Dozens of steps stacked up make the round platform above seem high above.
The bald man strode over, but he made no sound like a ghost. He looked at the figures standing in front of him and said coldly, "Why, you didn't even say hello when you met? Are all of you Soul-Suppressing Generals stupid?"
The tall and slender woman with a ponytail, a neat black outfit, and a half-mask covering her mouth and nose, looked erratic, as if she would sneak into the shadows at any time. She just glanced at Nora with a pair of cold eyes and said nothing.
The eighth knight of the kingdom, the master of stealth, Yaye!
"It's even more strange that you can say this." The man had a majestic voice and a strong body. He had loose golden hair and wore a mighty golden armor. Just from his back, one could feel the terrifying power hidden under his burly body.
The fifth knight of the kingdom, Dragon King, Gavin!
"If you keep talking like that, I'll ask you to get out!" A clear, gentle, yet domineering voice echoed throughout the hall.
"you!!"
Nora laughed in anger, her face was as ferocious as a devil, her whole body was filled with murderous aura as if it were real, and she stared at the tall figure.
Nora has been unhappy with this guy for a long time. He has never heard of such a noble bloodline. If he could...
The young man had a smile on his face like the breeze and the bright moon, his black eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were black and white, there was a red mark on his forehead, he had a dragon-like posture and a phoenix neck, he was as gentle as jade but noble. He was wearing a moon-white and pure clothes, a mountain-green belt around his waist, a huge green dragon-shaped jade pendant, and a three-foot-long sword. At his feet lay a handsome black dog.
The Kingdom's First Knight, the True Lord, Yang Jin!!
The atmosphere in the magnificent hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. Count Nora was filled with murderous intent, and his aura was cold and violent like a bloodthirsty bat. He wished he could tear the young man in white before him into pieces and drink his blood.
Yaye and Gavin were also very surprised. Although the two of them did not get along well with each other on weekdays, they would never confront each other as sharply as they did today.
The gentle young man named Yang Jin slowly turned around. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes, which were originally black and white, now showed a strange bright silver color. He stared at Count Nora indifferently. It was like a god looking down at the mortal world!
The black dog lying at his feet also stood up and stared at him with fierce eyes. For a moment, he felt as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast.
A trace of cold sweat quietly slid down Nora's forehead, and his whole heart seemed to be gripped by a huge claw, almost suffocating. Nora's eyes were bloodshot, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his already pale face was even more bloodless.
How is this possible? ? ? He suppressed me like this just by his aura? !
Not to mention him, even Crow, Gavin, and even the clown JACK on the high platform felt the majestic and overwhelming aura, and their faces changed.
After a long time, when Count Nora was almost unable to bear it and was about to release his guardian spirit to fight to the death, the vast pressure that permeated the entire hall finally dissipated.
The bright silver in Yang Jin's eyes faded, his hand rubbed the hilt of the sword on the left side of his waist, and he said indifferently: "Next time you bring in the smell of human blood, I will kill you!"
Nora covered her chest, gasped, and lowered her eyes, but her eyes were filled with extremely brutal murderous intent.
He could feel the huge gap between the two. Although Nora was reckless, he didn't want to die yet, so he could only hide his hatred in his heart and wait for the opportunity to strike like a poisonous snake.
Nora had just finished her meal before she came, and now there was a lingering bloody aura around her. Everyone suddenly realized that they had run into bad luck.
"I can't suck human blood anymore? ! ! Wait, just wait!" Nora roared in her heart.
Jack, who was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed, quietly put his legs down, not daring to open his mouth to reprimand or even persuade Yang Jin. He remained expressionless, but in his heart he was complaining.
"I really summoned you back! Master, I really can't live like this anymore!"
Dragon King Gavin walked up to Yang Jin and consoled him, "Brother Yang Jin, calm down. We are all in the same camp, so there is no need to get so angry."
Among the Twelve Knights of the Kingdom Organization, Dragon King Gavin is an upright person who hates conspiracies and intrigues, has a very good relationship with people, and is on good terms with many knights.
When Gavin first met Yang Jin, he felt a sense of mutual admiration and his favorable impression of him increased greatly. One was upright and the other was gentle as jade, and therefore the two of them had a deep friendship.
As the organization's intelligence expert, Yaye's narrow and cold eyes flashed, and he thought to himself that it seemed necessary to re-evaluate the strength of the first knight, Zhenjun Yang Jin. He might be much stronger than the second and third knights, even far stronger. He had never even summoned a guardian spirit.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, JACK, who had been silent like a transparent person, said calmly: "Everyone, long time no see. It's time for the farce to end."
His expression was calm and his eyes were deep, and he really acted very seriously.
Crow also bowed his head slightly to show respect. At this time, Nora's face was no longer happy or angry, and he hid his emotions very well. He placed his right hand flat on his chest and said respectfully:
"Why did you summon me?"
Dragon King Gavin stood like an iron tower, with his arms folded across his chest, watching JACK speak quietly.
True Lord Yang Jin was as tall as a jade tree, looking at Jack with a half-smile, but Jack always felt that everything was seen through. This feeling simply drove him crazy.
Hold on, hold on, don't show any weakness, JACK kept reminding himself.
If the First and Second Knights had not had other tasks and there was really no suitable candidate, he would definitely not want to find this Third Knight! Absolutely! When he thought of the outrageous scene at the last moment when he used the Xumi Divine Pearl to summon, he felt extremely irritated and frightened.
The other knights were summoned, but this gentleman came here on his own initiative.
He would never forget the day when he summoned all the knights and a huge black dog swallowed the Sumeru Pearl like a heavenly dog eating the moon. Then this gentleman came to him, asked the black dog to spit out the pearl, and said that he could work for them and be their knight to make up for the misunderstanding.
Under Yang Jin's powerful aura and Black Dog's fierce eyes, JACK could only nod and agree.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts and focusing on the mission, JACK said in a deep voice: "If we summon all twelve knights at once, it will definitely attract unnecessary attention. Isn't it impressive enough if the four of you come together?"
JACK stood up from the throne and continued, "The King and Queen will not show up this time, so any information you want to convey to you will be conveyed by me, JACK." JACK smiled, looking calm and sophisticated.
The four knights below looked calm, and it was unknown what they were thinking. "Then let's talk business. Recently, there was an explosion of boundless blood-colored spiritual energy in the northwest area of Zhenhun Street, which was suspected to be a sign of the emergence of a rare item from heaven and earth!!" JACK said shockingly.
"?!!" The four knights looked different when they heard this.
"Of course, it seems to be just a sign now. The specific situation still needs to be investigated on the spot. Yaye, you are good at tracking and shadow escape, and Nora, you have an extraordinary sense of blood. Therefore, the task of investigation is left to you."
Crow also nodded slightly, and Nora's eyes flashed with intense excitement and excitement, so she naturally would not refuse.
Just wait, I will make you pay the price for your arrogance!
"If something strange really happens and something amazing comes out, I'm sure all the forces, soul-soothing generals and spirit-hosting people will come to join in the fun. No one can resist such a temptation." Dragon King Gavin thought for a moment and spoke.
JACK nodded and said with a smile: "With the True Lord and your Dragon King here, and the four great knights gathered together, what are we afraid of?"
“As the most powerful force in the Spirit Realm, the Hall of Heroes is now in a period of transition. The great upheaval a few years ago has yet to recover. And Huangfu Longdou’s Tiangang Dragon Riders…” JACK smiled, confident of victory.
"They also suffered heavy damage in the battle with the Spirit Realm, and are not a big threat for the time being. The Hall of Heroes is currently under the temporary command of a Great Scorching Soul-Suppressing General named Lu Shuyu, and his guardian spirit is named Lu Junyi."
Crow, who is an expert in the organization's intelligence, continued Jack's words and told him the information he had.
Count Nora laughed disdainfully and said, "In this case, we will definitely get this rare treasure from heaven and earth."
True Lord Yang Jin had a calm expression and a clear voice, "The underworld is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knows what kind of old antiques, monsters and demons will be attracted by the emergence of this wonder. It is better to be cautious."
Jack was stunned when he heard this and fell into deep thought. He had not considered this point. Except for Nora who still had an arrogant and domineering look, Crow and Gavin nodded in agreement.
The underworld is too big, its territory is boundless, and what we see now is just the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean.
As the breeze blew, countless Mandragora flowers swayed gently in the wind, and white petals flew everywhere.
Count Nora was in a bad mood and was the first to leave Tartarus with a gloomy face.
"Brother Gavin, if you have nothing to do, you can come to Guanjiang Street to have a chat. You can now taste the spiritual wine you have been coveting for a long time."
Yang Jin's chuckle was like a spring breeze.
Gavin, who had always been dignified and calm, was delighted when he heard this and smiled generously, "Let's go. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must catch up no matter what. Haha."
The wind howled as two huge figures disappeared into the dark night sky.
……
The purpose of Crow being here is to find out the information about that rare object in the world.
JACK said it was in the northwest area, but in the northwest, the Li family was on high alert, so they could not move around easily. They could only make arrangements in secret and hide in Chang'an on earth, waiting for the strange object to appear before they could act.
