The Peerless Sun of Tang Sect

Chapter 140 I didn’t expect the chapter name
  Star Luo City.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire and the political, cultural, and economic center of the Star Luo Empire.

This city feels both strange and familiar to Xu Jie, and the strangeness is far greater than the familiarity.

Xu Jie, who has lived fifty kilometers northwest of Xingluo City for nearly eleven years, has never been to this city known as the Imperial Capital that will never fall.

The city wall nearly a hundred meters high stood, but Xu Jie's mind was not on the city wall, but on the gorgeous palace-like buildings not far away, where Huo Yun'er took care of him.

I don't know if the tomb where Huo Yun'er's body is buried has become much dilapidated because it has not been cleaned for a long time.

"Holy Son, contain your aura." Zhong Litian patted Xu Jie on the shoulder, waking him up from his daze, "Put this away."

Then he handed a piece of gray crystal to Xu Jie.

"I got it, senior." Xu Jie took the crystal and looked back at Zhong Litian and the others, and found that they had changed into long cotton clothes and looked no different from ordinary old men.

The metal crutch in his hand was also replaced by wooden one. It had an evil and cold aura. I don't know what method they used, but it was gone now.

The moment the gray crystal touched Xu Jie's skin, a wisp of gray energy poured into Xu Jie's body. The gray energy traveled through Xu Jie's body and moved to Xu Jie's shoulder, turning into a small black mole.

"Senior, what is this?" Xu Jie played with the gray crystal and asked with a smile.

The gray aura just now was sensed by Xu Jie as soon as it entered his body. If it weren't for the peace of mind of the three evil soul master brothers in front of him, the gray aura would have been expelled from his body as soon as it entered.

"A positioning device. With this, Holy Son, don't think about escaping. You can't escape." Zhong Litian smiled at Xu Jie, looking very honest.

"I know, senior." Xu Jie put the gray crystal into the blood-colored necklace. Since he was sure that it was not a good thing, Xu Jie naturally would not put it into his soul guide.

"Okay, let's go into the city!" Zhong Litian used his crutches and led Xu Jie towards the north gate of Xingluo City.

Although the three brothers Zhonglitian didn't look like good people at first glance, the soldiers guarding the city did not embarrass the three old men and let them in after they paid the entry fee.

After entering Xingluo City, Zhong Litian and the other three led Xu Jie on the Central Avenue for a hundred meters, then turned around and disappeared into the alley, and walked in twists and turns for nearly a hundred meters.

They took Xu Jie to a stop at the door of an ordinary villa.

The buildings on the outer edge of Xingluo City are not high, only two to three stories high, and the small courtyard in front of Xu Jie is only two stories high, making it seem ordinary among the surrounding buildings.

Zhong Litian took a step forward and knocked lightly on the door. He knocked five times in total, three long and two short.

The wooden door quietly opened a crack, and a head popped out. Seeing that it was the three brothers Zhong Litian, they hurriedly opened the wooden door. Without any nonsense, Zhong Litian took Xu Jie into the small courtyard.

The person who came to open the door was a young man with short hair. The young man looked like someone you wouldn't find in a crowd. As soon as Zhong Litian and the other three entered the small courtyard, the young man bent over and lowered his head, standing respectfully. On the side.

"Three elders, there was news from the main altar earlier, asking if the Holy Son has been found?" The young man's tone was extremely humble, as if he was afraid of accidentally offending Zhong Litian and the others.

"That's him!" Zhong Litian raised his hand and pointed at Xu Jie, "First take the Holy Son to choose and settle down. After a while, the Holy Son will be given an ascension ceremony."

After saying that, the three brothers Zhong Litian walked into the building in the center of the small courtyard and disappeared. They seemed not to be afraid of Xu Jie escaping or causing trouble.

Xu Jie, who was standing behind and observing the small courtyard, didn't care at all that the three of them left.

There is a cave in the yard. The whole yard can be said to be winding paths with various plants planted there. The courtyard is much larger inside than it looks from the outside. The tall pergola is covered with various plants, which also blocks the view from the sky.

"Your Highness the Holy Son, could you please come with me and I will arrange a room for you!" The young man looked at Xu Jie, bowed his head and said respectfully.

"No need to worry." Xu Jie waved his hand, looked at the young man, and asked very familiarly: "What's your name?"

"Your Highness the Holy Son, my name is Wang San, just call me Xiaosan." Wang San replied.

"Xiao San is a good name!" Xu Jie said, patting Wang San on the shoulder, "Xiao San, let's talk about the situation of our Holy Spirit Sect, what is the status of this Holy Son in the sect, why do I feel that San This elder doesn't care about me a bit, and what's going on with the spiritual ascension ceremony?"

"Uh..." Wang San was obviously confused by Xu Jie's series of questions. He was just a little holy servant and didn't know that much at all, right?
  "Your Highness the Holy Son, I am just a little holy servant. I don't know the answers to the questions you asked. As for the last question, the Holy Spirits who have undergone ascension should know the answer."

"Yeah..." Xu Jie frowned. To be honest, Xu Jie was very dissatisfied with Wang San's answer. I don't know who would be satisfied with this question. "Xiao San, tell me what you know?"

thump!
  Wang San seemed to feel Xu Jie's dissatisfaction and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Please forgive me, His Highness the Son. But as a Holy Servant, I don't know much, so I can't answer His Highness the Son's questions."

Xu Jie looked at Wang San who was kneeling on the ground and was speechless. The hierarchy of the Holy Spirit Cult was so clear. Xu Jie said without arguing with Wang San.

"Okay, get up and take me to my room."

"Yes, Your Highness the Son of God." Wang San stood up tremblingly and led Xu Jie deeper into the courtyard.

"By the way, where are the others?" Xu Jie suddenly said. He had not seen any other evil soul masters since he came in.

"Your Majesty the Holy Son, the Holy Spirits have all gone on missions under the arrangement of the three elders. As for the other Holy Servants, they will only come back once a week to report for duty. I was left behind by the elders because the courtyard needed to be cleaned."

Wang San said respectfully.

"Yes!" Xu Jie nodded. As he spoke, they had crossed the main hall in front of the courtyard and arrived at the back hall. Wang San led Xu Jie through a wooden door and arrived at the lobby of a hotel.

The lobby is mainly decorated in gold. There are two beautiful little girls sitting at the front desk. The plaque behind the girls has the four characters "Holy Spirit Hotel" written on it. There are not many people in the lobby, maybe because it is the off-season.

"This is this?" Xu Jie looked at the scene in front of him and asked.

Wang San approached Xu Jie and whispered: "Your Highness, this is the property of our religion. The income from the property is used to support the daily expenses of the Holy Spirit and the elders."

"Industry?" Xu Jie was a little confused, but did not ask. He remembered that the Holy Spirit Cult seemed to be well hidden in the original work. The Shrek Academy supervisory team had never discovered this religion at all before Huo Yuhao passed on the Holy Spirit Cult information.

Of course, it is also possible that the Shrek Supervisory Team is too weak. Wang San didn't hear Xu Jie muttering to himself. He was talking to the little girls at the front desk.

After a while, Wang San returned to Xu Jie with a key with 301 written on it.

"Your Highness, this is your key." Wang San handed the key to Xu Jie, "Would you like me to take you upstairs?"

"No, you can go back!" Xu Jie took the key and sent Wang San away. Seeing him like this, he couldn't get any useful information from him.

……

In the room, Xu Jie was lying on the big goose feather bed, thinking about countermeasures.

It was clearly confirmed that he was the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit, but why didn't the three elders keep him under strict supervision? Instead, they dismissed him casually, as if they didn't pay him any attention.

This made Xu Jie feel very disappointed. How could he get the core secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult if he was not taken seriously. How could he cause trouble if he didn't get the core secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult?

Unable to think of a clue, Xu Jie got up and left the room and walked to the hotel lobby. There were not many people in the lobby. Xu Jie looked at it for a while and did not feel the aura of the evil soul master from these people.

Without thinking much, he walked to the hotel door and looked at the flow of people on the street outside. He walked out of the hotel and stood at the door with an expectant look on his face, as if expecting someone to stop him.

But after standing at the door for nearly five minutes, no one came out to remind him not to leave the Holy Spirit Hotel.

Xu Jie shook his head slightly disappointed, stepped forward to join the crowd, and started walking around Xingluo City. Since no one stopped him, of course he had to take a good stroll.

To be honest, the size of Star Luo City is actually no different from that of Shrek City. Its general appearance is very similar to that of a medieval European city.

Suddenly, shouts rang out, and the flow of people not far from Xu Jie spread out in all directions, leaving a three-meter-wide road.

Thump thump thump!

The sound of heavy horse hooves sounded. It was a carriage team. There were sixteen people in total, eight in the front and eight in the back, guarding the four-wheeled carriage in the middle. The carriage was hollowed out of mahogany, with lifelike white tigers engraved on it. The four outlines are trimmed with gold, which looks extremely gorgeous.

Sixteen people were uniformly dressed in bright white armor. On the upper shoulder of the armor was the head of a white tiger with the word "King" engraved on it. The horses on the crotch were extraordinary. They were much taller than ordinary horses. They were over four meters long and one meter high at the shoulders. About eight, extremely majestic.

What's even more strange is that these dark horses have no hair on their bodies, only a layer of fine scales, and a faint bulge on their heads.

As long as the citizens have lived in Xingluo City for a period of time, they can recognize at a glance that this is the carriage of the White Tiger Duke's palace, and the White Tiger Duke is defending the Sun and Moon Empire in the Mingdou Mountains.

So now the only person who was qualified to sit in the carriage was the White Tiger Duke Zhu Ying. Mixed in the crowd, Xu Jie saw an extremely cold face through the carriage window.

Xu Jie recognized at a glance that the White Tiger Duchess on both sides belonged to the White Tiger Duchess who was suppressing them everywhere. The White Tiger Duchess was now nearly forty, but she was far from showing signs of aging.

Her skin was as smooth and round as that of a girl in her twenties. Xu Jie clenched his fists and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

I have to say that the life of the White Tiger Duchess was really good, unlike Huo Yun'er, who was tortured by Zhu Ying and looked old at the age of thirty. Especially when she died at the end, her face was full of haggard and pain.

She was driven into the servant quarters, where she eventually died.

The carriage passed through the crowd and slowly disappeared at the end of the street. While the people dispersed, Xu Jie still stood there, quietly watching the carriage leave.

Xu Jie will definitely help her pay back everything Huo Yun'er suffered.

Turning back and disappearing into the crowd again, Xu Jie walked around the city asking questions and finally arrived at his destination - Starlight Auction House.

The reason Xu Jie came here was naturally for the soul-eating carving knife, which was ranked ninety-ninth among the carving knives on the list and was known as the fierce knife. He didn't know much about the original work. He could only remember that except for the Ice and Fire Eyes, It was the predecessor of the early Soul Devouring Knife.

When he was at Shrek, Huo Yuhao did not participate in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Competition due to his interference, so Huo Yuhao did not get the living thing blade.

Now, since Xu Jie has arrived in Xingluo City, of course he has to go to the auction house to see if the carving knife has been sold. If not, Xu Jie will pick it up.

Because the Starlight Auction House is underground, the outside building area is not very large and the appearance is not outstanding.

Walking into the auction house, a five-meter-wide staircase covered with red carpet extended downwards, and there were no staff outside to guide them.

Going all the way down, about twenty meters deep, there were staff members registering the guests. You must know that although the name of the Starlight Auction House is an auction house, auctions are not held every day.

There is no auction today. There are only items consigned by some customers, so there are no restrictions on personnel. As long as you have money, you can buy all the items displayed in the venue.

After briefly registering Xu Jie, the staff let Xu Jie in.

Passing through a simple wooden door, you will see a wide corridor. There are countless counters for display on both sides of the corridor, but some counters are empty and contain nothing.

Xu Jie entered the corridor, glanced at the display items in the first row, lost all interest, and walked deeper into the corridor.

As he walked, Xu Jie looked at the counters around him. There was nothing too good, just some fourth- and fifth-level soul tools.

As Xu Jie went deeper, there were more things on the display cabinet. In addition to the soul guide, there were also many natural and earthly treasures, as well as some precious core metals.

Xu Jie unexpectedly saw a piece of kraft paper with "Advanced Meditation Method" written on it in a cabinet. After taking a brief look at it, he continued walking deeper into the path.

Finally, a counter broke into Xu Jie's field of vision. The Wu Ping displayed inside the counter was very small, about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger. From bottom to top, it changes from wide to narrow. The top is a sharp-looking tip, and the bottom is a sharp blade about half an inch wide.

The whole is simple and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it, exuding a light ancient atmosphere. But also a little depressed.

This is a carving knife. Xu Jie looked at the counter and introduced it.

"The soul-eating carving knife, price: 50,000 gold soul coins, failed auction, number of failed auctions, seven, original price: 300,000 gold soul coins..."
