Origin

Kaicheng is very large, covering an area of ​​about two to three times that of Daze. Because it controls a large beach and masters the technology of drying salt, Kaicheng is very prosperous. The city walls are tall and strong, and there are many large houses and pavilions in the city.

Wu Zhongyuan fell from the forest in the north of the city. After putting down Zhu Qianwei, he took off his green dragon armor. He then leaned on the tree and stepped on the branches to look at the city to the south. The city was built very solidly. In normal times, it would be a good thing for the city to be solid. But this is not the case at this time, because the people in the city will have a fluke mentality and mistakenly believe that the strong city can withstand five foreign enemies, and they are afraid that they will not follow Zhu Qianwei to move to the middle of the country.

As the saying goes, everything is done in advance, and failure in advance will lead to failure. Before doing something, you must first determine the purpose of doing it. Only with a clear purpose can you make targeted plans.

Wu Zhongyuan's purpose was very clear. He came for the salt. The 30,000 kilograms of salt stored in Kaicheng were of great use to him and must be taken away.

In addition to the main goal, there is also a secondary goal, which is to kill the demon king's soul. The demon king can influence and control other people's consciousness, just like a bomb that doesn't know when it will explode. If you don't kill it, it will explode sooner or later. Give birth to disaster.

His long sword can kill the soul of the soul. It is not difficult to find and quietly approach the third lady possessed by the demon king. But the problem is that if he kills the third lady by sneak attack, he will not be able to do it in front of everyone. If you don't expose it in front of everyone, there will be no evidence to prove that the third lady is possessed by the demon king, and it will be difficult for the people of Wei City to view this matter correctly.

You must know that before this, Wei Xi had done many bad things under the influence of the demon king, and the people's support was greatly lost. The third lady replaced him with what the people wanted. If he killed the third lady without everyone knowing the truth, everyone would regard him as an enemy. , and will therefore suspect that he killed the third lady just to occupy their salt.

Although he does want the salt, he doesn't want to be misunderstood by everyone, and if everyone misunderstands him, they will not leave here and move north to the Middle Earth. If they don't go, how will they transport so much salt?

While Wu Zhongyuan was thinking deeply, Zhu Qianwei put the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby on his back again, held the horned dragon halberd, and looked up, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Zhu Qianwei was looking at him, but he was not in a hurry to talk to him because he hadn't figured out what to do next.

What he is facing now is a situation where he cannot have his cake and eat it too. If he wants salt, he must let the people of Wei City know that the third lady is under the control of the demon king. Only in this way can everyone in Wei City be in danger. To avoid trouble, you must confront the Demon King if you want to reveal his true face. Once confronted, the Demon King is fully prepared and can retreat at any time, so you cannot kill it.

If there had been no Goat Valley section before, he would have chosen to confront the demon king without hesitation and try to force it to withdraw its soul from the third lady.

But not long ago, the demon king possessed the female warrior of the Ox tribe in Goat Valley, trying to frame Gao Zhan, the werewolf. On that day, he drew his sword and slashed the female warrior's neck. At the critical moment of life and death, the demon king retreated, but he sheathed his sword in time. Although He cut the female warrior's neck but did not harm her life.

Although the soul of the demon king left the female warrior at that time, it may not necessarily go elsewhere immediately. As long as the soul of the demon king stays in that tavern for a while, you will find that he put away the long sword at the critical moment, and the demon king will be This judged that he did not want to hurt innocent people. If he repeated his old tricks this time and threatened again, I am afraid that the Demon King would not retreat easily.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan was still undecided, so he floated to the ground and looked at Zhu Qianwei, "If I kill the third lady, can you control the situation?"

Zhu Qianwei shook his head, "It's been more than half a month since I left Kaicheng. I don't know what happened in the city during this period."

After Zhu Qianwei finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly. He understood what Zhu Qianwei meant. In more than half a month, the Demon King had enough time to eliminate dissidents and rearrange his layout.

"What do you think we should do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked and tested.

"Is it very difficult to make it appear in front of everyone?" Zhu Qianwei asked without answering.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, briefly told him about the previous incident in Goat Valley, and then said, "Having learned from past mistakes, it already knows that I don't want to hurt innocent people. It will be difficult to force it away without hurting the third lady this time. And If the demon king’s soul is not removed from the third lady, the third lady will always be under its control, and I will not be able to prove to everyone in the city that she is possessed by the demon king.”

"In this case, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve." Zhu Qianwei said in a deep voice.

"What do you want to do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Get rid of the third lady and her cronies who are controlled by the Demon King," Zhu Qianwei said. "The little noble is still here, so it will not be difficult for the clansmen to appease her."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Who has the highest cultivation level in the city right now?"

Zhu Qianwei said, "Kai City originally had two masters of purple energy. The first elder Yuci was convicted and sentenced to death by the late king. The second elder Yubi couldn't get enough of it and left the city to go to the seaside to guard the salt field. Later, his whereabouts were unknown and his whereabouts were unknown. At this time in the city The person with the highest cultivation level should be Mi Huang, who has three-hole cultivation level and blue aura."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded again, "I am an outsider and cannot come forward. After killing the third lady, I will raid the formation for you in the dark. When you gain the upper hand, I will retreat quietly. You can stabilize the situation as soon as possible and persuade the clan members to move north." "

Zhu Qianwei nodded seriously.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "It would be better if you can bring salt with you, but if you can't, don't worry, I will definitely treat your people well."

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Qianwei cupped his hands and thanked him.

Wu Zhongyuan drew his sword out of its scabbard, cut a three-inch long branch, filled it with spiritual energy, and handed it to Zhu Qianwei, "This thing brings me a breath of spiritual energy. You can keep it. If you are in danger, break it and I will have it." Perception, I will come to see you as soon as possible."

Zhu Qianwei took it solemnly and kept it close to his body.

"It's always hard to leave your hometown," Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Zhu Qianwei, "but you must not take any chances. This city cannot withstand the invasion of foreign enemies. If you stay here, you will become the Five Paths in the future. Slavery.”

"Don't worry, sir. I will lead everyone north as soon as possible and will never delay." Zhu Qianwei said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, thought about it carefully, and made sure there were no omissions, then pointed to the pavilion courtyard in the middle of the city, "Where is the palace?"

"Yes, the late king lived there when he was alive, and the third lady originally lived in the northeast courtyard." Zhu Qianwei said.

"Do you need me to take you into the city?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. There was an open area from the edge of the woods to the city wall. This area was opened for the city defenders to observe the situation and provide early warning.

Zhu Qianwei shook his head, "No need."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything more. It was already dark by this time. After leaving the woods, he flew into the city under the cover of night and hid in the darkness of the palace.

He didn't know where the third lady lived, nor did he know the third lady, so he could only wait for her to show up.

Not long after, the sound of a warning gong came from the city, and together with the sound of the gong came the sound of killing. Needless to say, Zhu Qianwei had already taken action.

Wu Zhongyuan had seen Zhu Qianwei's skills before, and with the horned dragon halberd in hand, no one in the city could be his opponent, even with the baby on his back.

After the gong sounded, a young woman dressed in luxurious clothes walked to the high tower in the middle of the palace, accompanied by everyone. While walking, she talked to the people around her, and the entourage called her the king.

After confirming the identity of this person, Wu Zhongyuan climbed up to the tower before everyone else, and waited from the top of the tower...
