Chen Kuang closed his eyes and followed the black-armored guard, silently counting the number of steps he took and the number of turns he made.
To be precise... I was being led.
And it wasn't the handcuffs on my hands that were being held, but my wrists.
Chen Kuang felt a little weird.
The black-armored guard was a little too considerate. He even deliberately slowed down his pace to allow Chen Kuang, who was in shackles, to keep up.
It’s not that others can’t have this kind of personality, but this kind of attitude towards a lowly enemy prisoner is not “right”.
The Zhou people were cold-blooded, and their military style was even more brutal. Prisoners were prisoners, and one must not harbor any luck or mercy when dealing with the enemy, otherwise there would be more and more people like Dong Da.
What goes up must go down, and such actions will affect the morale of the army.
Since they came here so quickly, it proves that Chen Kuang's plan worked.
The Zhou people were really looking for the elixir of life, and their actions could not be exposed for some reason, so they were kept secret.
Judging from the fact that the Black Armored Guards killed the two jailers without hesitation, Dong Da, who was the first to come into contact with this secret, should have been executed.
As Li Hongling's personal guard... can I really be extra considerate?
Chen Kuang's heart moved.
The hand covering his wrist was slender... not like a man's.
"arrive."
The black-armored guard loosened his grip, and his voice was unclear through the thick mask, as if it had its own mixing function.
Are we there yet? This is too fast...
Are the Black Armor Army’s camps so close to the Heavenly Prison?
"Don't waste your energy."
The Black Armored Guard looked at the blind musician in front of him who remained expressionless and said calmly:
"I brought you here by leaping. The path you can remember doesn't exist."
Chen Kuang: “…”
Well, I understand that being seen through is my fate in the world of high martial arts.
But I didn't feel any difference from walking on the ground. Isn't this light skill a bit too unfair?
Come to think of it, no wonder they had to hold each other's wrists...
Chen Kuang took two steps forward and reached out to touch the door curtain of the tent.
A hoarse and sharp female voice came from inside the tent:
"Qingcuo? Everyone was killed? Then let Adjutant Xiao arrange a new group of jailers."
"yes."
The black-armored guard lowered his head and responded, then turned and left.
Chen Kuang walked in.
He closed his eyes, but strangely enough, he could vaguely feel the obstacles around him.
Most of the memories of the original body were pitch black, with only sounds and faint changes in light and shadow, so Chen Kuang originally thought that it would not have much impact on him.
But it wasn't until he closed his eyes to simulate the state of a blind person that he found he was quite adaptable.
This is also a good thing. If you fight with others in the dark in the future, it will definitely be very beneficial.
The Zhou army stayed there for quite some time. The tents were well-built, with carpets on the ground, tables and chairs placed in between, and even camphor incense lit.
Li Hongling, holding a big sword and a golden horse, sat casually on the upper seat, watching Chen Kuang walk to the center and stand still, and then he was forced to his knees by two black-armored guards.
She raised her eyes, her irises crimson. "I heard you say that Su Yu once gave an elixir to a music director at the Taichang Temple?"
Chen Kuang bowed down and lowered his head to avoid letting anyone see any flaws in his expression.
"Yes...I heard it with my own ears."
"Su Yu has been obsessed with alchemy for over ten years, seeking immortals and medicines everywhere, almost to the point of madness, all for the sake of immortality. Tell me, why would he hand over the elixir to a mere Le Zheng?"
"Le Zheng was a master of the zither during his lifetime. He was very close to the late emperor and was often given personal belongings..."
"not enough."
Li Hongling suddenly stretched out a finger and shook it, staring at Chen Kuang, emphasizing each word:
"I don't think that's enough of a reason."
"I'll give you three chances to say this. If you can't convince me, then I'll think you're trying to deceive me."
The tall and intimidating female general slowly stood up, almost reaching the top of the tent. She stood there like a mountain covered with black scales, deep and majestic, with a murderous aura rising to the sky.
The female general reached back and grabbed the long handle.
“Click.”
The ground cracked, and a giant halberd almost three meters long was deeply inserted into the ground, and she easily lifted it up with one hand.
She was not sitting on the chair, but on the halberd!
This halberd is called Giant Star Abyss. It is made of a whole piece of Xuan iron and weighs 500 kilograms. There is no need to use any magical powers. It can kill people just by smashing them.
Chen Kuang was silent for a moment:
"I was lying."
"One sentence."
"Luo Lezheng is just a country squire who donated money to enter the palace. He has only learned to play the qin for three years. He is just a sham. The late emperor rarely even summoned him. Why would he reward him with elixirs?"
"Two sentences."
Chen Kuang curled his lips:
"I know what you're looking for... The one who got the elixir reward wasn't Luo Lezheng, it was me."
“Three… Boom—!!!”
Suddenly, the huge mountain collapsed abruptly, and a huge shadow roared over the head.
The superstar Chen Yuan was lifted up from the ground by Li Hongling, swung forward, wrapped in wind and thunder, and pushed away the surrounding air, and slammed into Chen Kuang's face.
If Chen Kuang were to describe it, he felt as if he saw a dump truck being thrown at him by King Kong.
His pupils constricted, his scalp felt tight, and his heart was beating wildly. He felt the strong wind blowing in his face, and even his chest was about to be squeezed out of the remaining air.
The next second, Li Hongling's figure was even faster than the giant halberd.
She suddenly appeared in front of Chen Kuang with alacrity, stretched out her right arm, opened her hand and caught the superstar Chen Yuan in mid-air!
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the air spread out, blowing open the tent curtain.
The two black-armored guards actually took half a step back.
Chen Kuang was pressed to the ground by Li Hongling's other hand. He didn't move at all, but his face was extremely pale.
Li Hongling said coldly: "Then what's your reason?"
Chen Kuang exhaled with difficulty: "Because I am a cultivator who has opened the eighth acupoint."
Well...originally only the ninth orifice was opened.
Just now, under the pressure of Li Hongling's aura, the spiritual energy that was originally flowing slowly in his meridians was stimulated and actually broke through the barrier of the eighth acupoint, which was already as thin as a cicada's wing.
Li Hongling narrowed her eyes, put her hand on Chen Kuang, and directly probed into the spiritual energy to check.
Chen Kuang felt as if some invisible foreign object had forcefully entered his body. Ignoring the desperate resistance and wailing of his meager spiritual energy, it explored his body wantonly, stirring up the pool of water into a mess...
Then he left very decisively.
Li Hongling let go of her hand, still looking unconvinced:
"So what if he's a cultivator? Su Yu is not without experts around him."
Chen Kuang combined his own memories with the information he got from Chu Wenruo.
He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"The cultivators of Lingtai Mountain are secluded from the world. The late emperor didn't consider them his own people at all. In the imperial city, the nobles are dressed in bright clothes but have their own ulterior motives. Their relatives are incompetent and their subordinates are destitute."
"Only people like me, who are of low status and have no one to rely on, can be completely driven by him."
