Chapter 2104 Deep Pit Incident

(4, 0);

Liu Zongta was still bragging about how powerful he was last night, killing several enemies with one sword. After hearing what Lin Yue said, he paused for a moment and thought for a while before speaking.

"Let's go to Fenghua Tower. It's the highest place in the entire Beimo City. From there you can even see the Red Sun Barrier at the edge of town."

"Can."

They arrived at the post station as usual and were planning to ride in a carriage pulled by strange beasts to go to Fenghua Tower. However, they were surprised to find that there was not a single strange beast left in front of the post station.

"What's going on?"

Liu Zongda took out the black emblem representing his identity as a member of the Black Iron Guard and walked into the inn with a rather grim look on his face.

As soon as they entered the store, the three of them discovered that there were already quite a few people in the store, surrounding the clerk and asking questions.

Seeing Liu Zongda coming in with the emblem of the Black Iron Guard, some people respectfully made way for him.

In Beimo City, everyone knows the reputation of the Black Iron Guards. Even the top leaders of those big families have to give enough respect to the Black Iron Guards when they see them, at least on the surface.

After all, the first requirement to become a Black Iron Guard is that one’s strength must at least break through to the Ancient Immortal level, which is also the threshold that blocks countless people.

"Why is there not a single strange beast left?!"

Coming up to the clerk, Liu Zongta asked with an annoyed look on his face.

The clerk's heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Zongta. If other people came to ask, even if those people were very rich but dissatisfied with him, there would be nothing they could do. But it was different for the Black Iron Guards.

As one of the powers of the Black Iron Guards, they can arrest anyone they suspect at any time and bring him back for interrogation, so many people dare not offend the Black Iron Guards easily. Everyone knows that being in the cage of the Black Iron Guards is equivalent to losing half of your life! ?

"My Lord! This is not my fault!"

As soon as the clerk opened his mouth, he took away all the blame.

However, his next words made Liu Zongta and several people who were unaware of the situation stunned.

"Many bottomless pits have appeared in the city. Because the monsters have been trained to only know the way, they don't care whether there is any problem with the road under their feet. More than ten monsters have fallen into the deep pits..."

"A deep pit...?"

After hearing the clerk's explanation, Lin Yue was a little confused.

He originally thought that the reason why the post station was suspended was related to the Black Iron Guards led by Liu Zongda who wiped out the Qi Yuan family last night, but he didn't expect it was because of another unrelated matter.

Liu Zongta standing by was also stunned. As a member of the Black Iron Guard, he must be well-informed, but he had not heard any relevant information.

It may be related to the continuous missions carried out last night, or the deep pit incident just happened not long ago and has not yet been transmitted to their Black Iron Guard's intelligence network.

"When did this happen?" Liu Zongta asked the clerk.

Seeing that Liu Zongta didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter further, the clerk quickly breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

"I received the message an incense stick ago. I don't know exactly when it happened, but it must have started this morning. No other beasts from other stations have come to my place since half an hour ago, so I gradually became free."

"All right."

Seeing this, Liu Zongta realized that it was pointless to continue asking questions, so he turned around helplessly and walked out with Lin Yue and the others.

Seeing Liu Zongta turn around and leave, the clerk wanted to say something, but when he thought of the reputation of the Black Iron Guard, he shut his mouth silently and decided not to meddle in other people's business.

"What should I do? Without the strange beast, I can only walk on my legs."

Qing Bingying, who was standing by, heard this and replied, "Just go, we're just wandering around anyway."

Lin Yue didn't say anything, but looked at Liu Zongda silently.

"Um……"

Liu Zongta felt a little conflicted. After all, the elders had arranged for him to keep an eye on Lin Yue and the others at all times and not let them interact with the civilians in the city. But when he thought about it, he realized that he had been with Lin Yue and the others for two days and had not discovered any bad intentions from them, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Then let's walk to Fenghua Tower, but don't run around. If you get lost, I will punish you..."

“I know, I know!”

So the three of them walked along the streets towards Fenghua Tower.

…

At the same time, in the secret room of the clan hall, a group of black figures gathered again.

"Can you tell everyone what's happening outside?"

The Great Protector looked at the lame old man and asked in a cold voice.

"Reporting to all the ancestors, a large number of sunken pits suddenly appeared in the city early this morning. Dozens of people have accidentally fallen into them, including some practitioners of a certain realm. However, none of them have appeared since then..."

The Great Protector looked at the figures around him and asked in a deep voice, "Well, what do you think about this situation?"

A shrill female voice suddenly sounded.

"Great Protector, the Sun Wheel Anniversary is about to arrive, but now something like this has happened. I wonder if someone doesn't want the Sun Wheel Anniversary ceremony to be held as usual?"

After a brief silence, another hoarse voice replied, "...It is very possible. Whoever wants to stop the Sun Wheel Festival will have to pay a heavy price!" (5,0);

The lame old man standing by the door of the secret room couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard their conversation. From his point of view, these ancestors might have gone crazy after living for who knows how many years, and the logic of their speech was completely different from the thinking of normal people.

I don't even know who is secretly sabotaging me, but I've already started to make harsh remarks...

It's so funny!

However, the lame old man quickly stopped smiling because he noticed a cold gaze sweeping towards him.

For some reason, the lame old man always felt as if he had been watched by the Great Protector, including the last time he suddenly asked him about it. He was always paying attention to his situation inexplicably.

Could it be that the other party has already noticed my thoughts?

Thinking of this, the lame old man's heart suddenly sank, but he soon returned to normal.

There are only a few days left in the Solar Era. As long as we survive these days, everything will be reborn!

…

In the streets of Beimo City, Lin Yue and the other two walked towards Fenghua Tower while looking at the surrounding environment.

Although they did not activate the Yao Qi, after nearly two hours of journey, they had already arrived near Fenghua Tower.

After Qing Bingying took a look at the surrounding environment, she couldn't help but complain out loud.

"It's so quiet here!"

Including them, there were less than ten people in the surrounding streets.
