Mist Man City Lords, except for those who often go to war, don't really fight, and no one knows the details of the opponent.
After all, no one can tell what kind of trump cards a life span of several thousand years and a dominant resource supply can bring.
There has been a terrifying case of an ordinary Mist Man city lord who lived peacefully for more than two thousand years, but suddenly broke out when faced with danger, killing thirteen people in a row and invading the powerful Fog God. His strength was even better than that of Xie Chang'an.
"What do you think about this?" Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Hui and asked.
"Don't worry, Xiao Liu has a special relic given to her by her father, and I have arranged for someone to protect her at all times. It's not a big problem." Lin Hui said with a smile. "The main thing is that this matter is also an exercise for her. A ten-year-old child can almost face some things alone."
"Well, you're right." Xiao Xiao nodded. "This Mingxin Sect seems to be very hidden now. Before we understand their purpose, we really shouldn't get involved rashly."
"Yeah" Lin Hui nodded.
The two chatted for a while about the recent changes in the situation. Xiao Xiao is actually more like a man than an average woman, and he is a very career-minded man. Although now, because of Lin Hui, he has been assigned to a fat position with little income and good things, he still likes to think about such big events when he has nothing to do.
The two of them were chatting here, gradually getting involved in the current external war situation. Their opinions and discussions were not intentionally encrypted, which caused a pair of men and women on the deck not far away who also went to Earth Fire Hot Spring to join in the conversation.
"This brother is wrong. Now Federation Internal Strife, external and internal troubles, Hell alone is actually not a big problem. The key is that Northern Jing King and Western Hong King took advantage of the situation. The two major Mist Man groups rioted at the same time and announced their separation from Inner Court. This is the answer to Inner Court Royal City's biggest threat." The short-haired man with a handsome appearance and a tall figure approached him with his hands behind his back.
"Northern Jing King? Western Hong King? How come I haven't heard of this news at all?" Lin Hui was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party, and clasped his fists, "Brother, could you please clear me up?"
The man looks to be in his thirties, with a black mustache on his lips. His face is neatly trimmed and his eyes are bright and subtle. They are not overbearing, but they give people a strong and energetic impression.
"You're welcome. Let's discuss it freely. Black Cloud is slow to get the news. It's not brother's problem, but Three City Lords should be deliberately blocking the news from leaking to avoid causing unrest in the city." After a pause, he continued, "No. I guess it won't take long, and I can't hide it anymore. Now two cities have suffered heavy losses in the battles between Prince Jing and Prince Hong and Inner Court, and a large number of refugees followed Invocation Martial Artist fled in all directions and should be arriving at Black Cloud soon."
"Looking at it this way, Black Cloud is located on the border, so it is understandable that the news came slowly." Lin Hui nodded.
"Now Federation Internal Strife Hell is still for some reason, not moving forward or retreating, which is a bit strange. But it's fine like this. If we really want to fight again, it's us common people who will suffer." The man sighed.
"That's true. Today's peace and stability are the greatest happiness." Lin Hui feels the same way.
He is indeed strong enough to protect his family, but so what if he does? People do not live in a vacuum. Once something happens, it is difficult to defeat four people with just two fists. Even if he can defeat him, his living material conditions will be greatly reduced.
"Speaking of which, my home is close to Royal City. When I wrote to my family not long ago, I heard rumors there that Twelfth Prince of Royal City was kidnapped and disappeared. After some investigation, it was found that Royal City actually believed that it was the Prince Hong forces. Prince Hong's retort and explanation were useless, so the sworn brother who stayed with Royal City was killed and then turned against him." The girl beside the man also added.
"This rumor is well-founded. It cannot be groundless. It may be true." Xiao Xiao judged.
"I heard another rumor here." The man lowered his voice. "It is said that Prince Hong was framed, and Twelfth Prince ran away on his own. He received the news and knew that he was going to be assassinated by his brothers and sisters in front of him, so he took the initiative to find an opportunity to escape."
"Is this Royal City so chaotic now?" Lin Hui was speechless.
He couldn't understand that even if Royal City were all princes and princesses, only a few would be Imperial Blood. Without Imperial Blood, they would not be qualified to compete for the throne. And now under the Federation system, what's the point of inheriting the throne?
Even Fog People Emperor was forced to study Night Fog every day without caring about worldly affairs.
"It is not His Majesty who passed the throne. This position itself holds a huge secret. It is said that it is related to the secret that has a higher success rate of fusing Evil Weapon Insect Scripture. As long as you master this secret, you can fuse the supreme Imperial Blood like His Majesty did. Of course, these are rumors and cannot be kept true." The man laughed.
"Looking at it this way, it is indeed worth fighting for." Lin Hui also saw at this time that the status of these two people was not low.
To be precise, the people who can get on this ship and go to the island to soak in hot springs, the vast majority of people on this ship, are not ordinary people.
After all, ordinary people don't have the spare money or the courage. This world is not as peaceful as it was in my previous life.
The sea is full of monsters, and Fog God's subordinates appear from time to time. Anyone who doesn't have any skills will seek death if he goes to sea.
Although most of the information exchanged between the four people were gossip, the chat was still very exciting. From the two people's mouths, Lin Hui quickly gained an overall understanding of Royal City and the current Federation situation.
In this era and a world with shortcomings in communication, it is impossible to see this kind of overall understanding so clearly unless someone who has traveled around and has extremely rich experience.
So Lin Hui also had a desire to make friends. He and Xiao Xiao did not show their identities on this ship, and they were no different from ordinary guests.
The other party didn't mind it and exchanged contact information and names with them.
During the exchange, both parties tacitly used pseudonyms, but this did not hinder the continued communication in the following two days.
And on the third day after Lin Hui temporarily left Black Cloud.
Lin Xiaoliu, something happened again over there.

In the north of Black Cloud, near a remote bay, there is a desolate Daoist temple with Futian Temple hanging on it.
The visitor's face is old, like a dead tree, with long white eyebrows hanging down to his knees. He stands quietly in the darkness, looking at a group of silver spheres floating in the air in front of the headless God Statue.
A clear image far away near the Taisu Martial Academy appeared on the surface of the sphere.
Apart from him, there were two figures standing in other directions in the Daoist temple.
One is a majestic middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown.
The other is a tall woman in a blue cloak covered with a black veil.
The three of them were all looking at the image displayed in the silver sphere.
The video shows every move and daily life of Lin Xiaoliu's classmate Song Yunhui.
"Now it has been preliminarily confirmed that the Twelfth Prince who has been with Royal City before is a fake. This Song Yunhui is the real prince. He was quietly brought to Black Cloud a long time ago to pretend to be an ordinary person." Long Eyebrow Abbot said lightly. "Next, what suggestions do you have."
"Since the old emperor has spread the news that he will give up his position to Twelfth Prince, he must have expected such a situation. There must be a secret force behind it." The woman in the blue cloak replied in the same cold tone.
"Everyone is his own master. The meaning above is not something we can consider. Just do whatever you have to do. Is there anything to discuss?" the man with the purple gold crown said casually.
"Last time we arrested people, we used a foolproof method, but it was still interfered with by outsiders. This time it will be much more troublesome to arrest people, and we may have to fight a tough battle." Long Eyebrow Abbot said solemnly.
"Now that this boy has learned his lesson, he always walks around with that girl from last time. If he tries to arrest someone again, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." The woman in the blue cloak frowned.
"Indeed, the girl's perception is very weird. We have tried more than ten different ways to get close, but she has sensed it in advance. But according to my subordinates, this girl's own qualifications are not very strong, which means she is at the middle to lower level in the Martial Academy, but her perception is extremely strong." Long Eyebrow Abbot nodded.
"If there is any trouble, just send people to arrest them together. If there is any trouble, we will solve it quickly." The man with the purple gold crown said impatiently.
"Who do you think you are? Arresting people? You have to go alone, I won't accompany you!" Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared in the fourth corner.
The figure has silver-gray eyes, long jet-black hair, a cold face, and a slender figure. The upper body is only wrapped with a simple gray and white ribbon around the chest, and the lower body is covered with loose gray trousers. A pitch-black thin sword is slung at the waist. A vague word "" can be seen on the hilt of the sword.
"Xia Si, what do you mean? You took the benefits and signed the contract. Now it's your turn to work, but it's not your turn to regret it." Long Eyebrow Abbot looked at the fourth figure coldly.
"I admit that the benefits have greatly improved my strength, but this is not the reason why I am willing to die." Xia Si sneered.
"I have sent people to investigate the Qingfeng Sect sect master you mentioned before. When the follow-up plan is launched, even if he reacts and makes any changes, the three guests sent by the master will intercept and kill him when necessary." Long Eyebrow Abbot said coldly.
"Okay, okay, since she doesn't want to go, then I'll make the arrangements ourselves." The woman in the blue cloak said in a low voice to smooth things over.
"It seems that Miss Xia was frightened by her Dao Lord. It's a pity that she is so talented," the man with the purple gold crown said with a smile.
"Then it's settled, I'll wait for three people."
"I said no, don't you understand what people are saying?" Xia Si interrupted without waiting for Long Eyebrow Abbot to continue.
"What do you mean?" Long-browed eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent as he looked at Xia Si.
The other two people also looked unhappy, and their eyes fell on Xia Si.
"If you catch Lin Xiaoliu, you will definitely alert my master, and everyone will be dead by then." Xia Si slowly drew his sword, and a dazzling golden mist rose behind him.
"Rather than being implicated to death by you idiots, it's better for me to kill you before you take action."
"Xia Si You!?" Chang Mei still wanted to speak, but the next moment, golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and the strong wind accompanied by golden light dots, instantly flooded the entire Daoist temple.
"Secret Kill·The Way of Fierce Wind and Destruction!"
After a while, the Daoist temple remained as before. From the outside, not even a single brick had been moved.
The door opened slightly, and Xia Si walked out slowly, looking up at the dusk sky that was about to get dark.
A trace of blood quietly overflowed from the corner of her mouth and flowed down. But the next moment it turned into gray Ashes, scattered and disappeared.
"The life ashes of these three people are not enough for me to break through to the next level. I still need to devour more. If you have more masters, you are waiting for the position of sect master. Sooner or later, it will be mine!"
Swish.
The next moment, a strong wind swept through her, and she had disappeared from where she was.
