"Brother Su!"
Zhao Chengkong opened the courtyard door and paused before the smile on his square face fully spread.
He looked Su Yu up and down and frowned slightly.
"The person sent by Si Li... is you?"
Su Yu leaned against the door frame and did not go in.
"What, you're not welcome?"
Zhao Chengkong was stunned for a breath, then scratched the back of his head and stepped aside to go out.
"Welcome, of course you are welcome! Come in and sit down."
The yard is smaller than that of Su Yu's Listening to the Wind Courtyard, but it is very clean.
Zhao Chengkong made two bowls of crude tea, placed them on the stone table, moved a mat and sat down.
"To be honest, Brother Su, I originally applied for a commander to accompany me."
He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, his voice lowered.
"In the end, the department only approved one quota and asked you to come with me."
Su Yu sat across from him, picked up the tea bowl and smelled it. The tea was thick and astringent.
"What happened at home?"
Zhao Chengkong The honest smile on his face faded slightly.
He put down the tea bowl and was silent for a few breaths.
"I received a subpoena from Lineage an hour ago. The words were urgent, but very vague. There were only four words - return soon, there have been changes."
Su Yu looked at him.
"What changed?"
"I don't know." Zhao Chengkong shook his head, "This is the most disturbing thing. Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor Communication has always been strictly regulated. It is clear at a glance what level of communication talisman is used for what level of affairs. This time, the village owner-level red talisman was used, but only four words were transmitted."
He raised his head, and the shrewdness in his eyes that was usually hidden under a simple and honest mask emerged.
"Either the matter is so big that I dare not put it down in writing. Or the person who summoned me has his own problems."
Su Yu Put down the tea bowl.
Zhao Chengkong looks like a rough guy, but he actually thinks faster than anyone else. No wonder he was able to sneak into the Demon Suppression Bureau and become a captain, and then established himself in the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor.
"So you don't dare to go back alone."
"I dare not." Zhao Chengkong admitted without hesitation, "It's not like I don't have any enemies in the villa. If I go back rashly, if someone takes advantage of me and waits for me to take advantage of it, then it's not reporting my duty, it's risking my life."
He glanced at Su Yu.
"But having said that, Brother Su, although you are young, I have seen all your trips to the secret realm. I can trust your ability."
Su Yu didn't say much after hearing this.
"When will you leave tomorrow morning?"
"Mao Shi." Zhao Chengkong made a gesture, "Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor is northwest of Qing Province, deep in the Jade Screen Mountain Range. It takes a long time to fly on Iron-Feathered Eagle to get there."
"Okay."
Su Yu stood up, turned around and walked out the door.
"Brother Su." Zhao Chengkong called him.
Su Yu head tilted.
Zhao Chengkong hesitated for a moment. "When we get to the villa, I will explain some things to you in advance. The water there is not as deep as Demon Suppression Bureau."
Su Yu nodded, said nothing, and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Chengkong leaned against the door frame, looked at the direction he was leaving, and let out a breath.
The department only sent one Colonel Mystic Realm.
Does Mr. Wang Du think this is not a big deal? Or is he testing Su Yu?
Either way, he has no choice now.
The next day, Mao Shi.
It was still dark, so the two changed into casual clothes and met at the north gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
There is no Iron-Feathered Eagle. Zhao Chengkong brings two Crimson-Maned Beast and four hooves on the ground Soundless. It is a spiritual beast mount specially used for long-distance travel.
"Don't ride an eagle?" Su Yu turned over Crimson-Maned Beast.
"It's too ostentatious." Zhao Chengkong patted the mount's neck, "The area around the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor is a hundred miles away from the clan's patrol area. Flying a Demon Suppression Bureau's Iron-Feathered Eagle in will be like telling everyone that I have brought in foreign aid."
Su Yu didn't say much.
Crimson-Maned Beast spread its hooves, and the two figures disappeared into the morning mist.
After leaving Qing Province City, the official road extends to the northwest, and the two sides gradually change from bustling villages and towns to remote hills.
Zhao Chengkong led the way. After running for half an hour, he slowed down and kept pace with Su Yu.
"Brother Su, let me tell you everything about the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor first."
Su Yu Look ahead.
Zhao Chengkong cleared his throat.
"Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor belongs to the Spirit Refinement family that has been inherited for more than 400 years. Its heritage is second to none in Qing Province, and it is especially good at the demon servant lineage."
"There are several Earth Realm elders in the villa. The owner of this generation is my uncle, Zhao Kuohai, and his cultivation level is Earth Realm Fifth Level."
Su Yu Write down this name.
"Under the village owner, the most powerful person is the great elder."
"Great Elder, Zhao Y ehan, strength Earth Realm Fourth Level."
When he said this name, a strange color flashed in Zhao Chengkong's eyes.
Su Yu noticed it.
"You suspect that this summons is related to the Great Elder's lineage."
Zhao Chengkong did not answer directly.
"Zhao Y ehan is a very deep man. He usually smiles at everyone he meets, but each of his disciples is more ruthless than the last."
He turned his head and looked at Su Yu.
"Brother Su, no matter what happens when you arrive at the villa, don't reveal your identity as Demon Suppression Bureau. You are the friend I made outside. Come back as a guest."
"Okay."
Zhao Chengkong breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile.
"With you here, I feel much more at ease."
Su Yu did not answer this sentence. His eyes swept over the faint outline of the Jade Screen Mountain Range in the distance.
Four major Spirit Refinement families.
Wang Du Letting him come is not just to embolden Zhao Chengkong.
At the same time.
Qing Province City dong, Duke Chen's Residence.
Deep in the back garden, there is a secret room that uses formations to isolate sound and breath.
Chen Xiaotian is sitting on a stone chair. There is a pot of cold tea on the stone table in front of him, and the tea has not been touched.
Opposite him, a blood-robed figure was half-hidden in the shadow of the candlelight.
The visitor did not sit down, but leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed and a careless smile hanging on his lips.
"Your Excellency, Tu Jiu is dead. The three guardians are also dead, leaving no one alive."
The voice of the man in blood robe was unhurried and slow.
"Died in a canyon four hundred miles away from Qing Province City. The cause of death is very interesting - one was hit in the chest with a palm, and the two were chopped alive. As for the old man Tu Jiu..."
He tilted his head.
"I didn't even find any bones or scraps."
Chen Xiaotian picked up the tea cup and put it down again.
"You Blood Baleful Intent Hall, are you just here to tell me this nonsense?"
The man in blood robe put away his smile.
"Your Excellency, I am here this time to give you a gift as ordered by the Lord of the Palace."
He took out a dark jade slip from his sleeve and placed it gently on the stone table.
"The palace master said that Su Yu cannot be dealt with by conventional means. But he is not without weaknesses."
Chen Xiaotian's eyes fell on the jade slip.
"He will leave Qing Province tomorrow."
Chen Xiaotian finally raised his eyes.
The man in blood robe smiled.
"Destination--Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor."
The candlelight in the secret room danced.
Chen Xiaotian stretched out his hand and held the jade slip between his fingers.
"Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor..."
He slowly put the jade slip close to his forehead and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
A true smile finally appeared in the depths of those cold pupils.
"What a move."
