Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Chapter 1255 Northwest Corner

"It's great to be young."

From afar, Shen Yian sighed. After two lifetimes as a human, the added age of his soul would have already shown that he had entered middle age.

The commotion caused by Jing Fusheng and Xuan Xing had attracted most of the attention in the city to the outside.

"Boom!"

As thunder rumbled, Shen Yian turned his head, and his black eyes reflected the scenery of the northwest corner of Tianwu City.

The buildings there are extremely dilapidated and no one has repaired them all year round. When it rains, the dirt roads become muddy. That area is like the shadow behind the prosperity of Tianwu City. The people are a mixed bunch, and people from all walks of life mingle among them. The Beggar Gang's branch in Tianwu City used to be located here, and they had great say relying on their numbers.

Ever since the top leaders of the Beggars' Sect were besieged by the Wuwei Division, the Beggars' Sect branch here collapsed. Other forces had a brief fight over this and tried to divide up the remaining assets of the Beggars' Sect.

The old man had also thought about clearing out this northwest corner, but the forces here are too complicated and intricate. The largest underground black market in Tianwu City is also located here, and any move could affect the entire body.

If the Wuwei Division were to use violence to eradicate the infestation, it is not certain whether it can be eradicated. Once some of the infestations slip through the net and rush into densely populated areas, they will inevitably pose a great threat to ordinary people. The cost is completely disproportionate to the possible gains, and there are other risks.

The most important point is that this place is closely connected with the imperial court itself and there are some interests involved.

Before, it might have been the Wei family, the Murong family, etc., but now it has become the imperial palace, or to put it bluntly, it is one’s own old man.

All things in the world require a balance between yin and yang.

The same is true for Tianwu City. Its prosperity requires another side to carry and support it.

Even if this place is eradicated by the Wuwei Division, it won't be long before the same existence will sprout up in other places.

So the old man finally came to his senses and decided that instead of playing whack-a-mole, it would be better to find a way to take control of the situation into his own hands.

Over such a long period of time, the Wuwei Division's infiltration has been somewhat effective, but it is still a long way to go to completely master it.

I guess the old man anticipated that he would start with this, and must have made arrangements in advance.

After all, this place is very special. In addition to ordinary people, it can accommodate almost all outsiders, whether they are gangs such as the Jucai Sect, the fish that have escaped the net, or the criminals on the Wuwei Division's wanted list. As long as they can come here, there is a way to survive.

Of course, these dilapidated buildings on the ground cannot accommodate so many people. The real northwest corner is underground.

The history of the northwest corner of the underground can even be traced back to the founding of Tianwu City.

Although it is not as large as a city in people's imagination, its scale has been expanded through the dynasties to the present day, and it is equivalent to an ordinary town, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

This is also one of the reasons why the old man did not make up his mind to remove it.

A great battle might cause the collapse of the northwest corner of Tianwu City and the city wall.

By then, Tianwu City, as the capital of the Daqian Empire, will become the object of ridicule of the whole world.

If the impact is too large and affects the imperial mausoleum, Mr. Yi will probably come out and beat the old man up.

"Crash..."

The sound of rain is getting louder.

Compared to the hustle and bustle in the city, the northwest corner is like a forgotten place and is extremely quiet.

However, this silence did not last long.

Under the rain, a black mass of bamboo hats and swords shining with cold light quietly gathered towards the northwest corner.

"Ahem, please stop. I am a messenger. I want to tell you that since you are looking for someone, you don't need to bother coming in to look for him."

Under the dilapidated archway, an old man wearing a straw raincoat and holding a walking stick said with a cough.

As the words fell, the squeaking sound of wheels suddenly came from the quiet northwest corner.

Shirtless men appeared from all directions, pushing wooden carts. Each cart carried a wooden coffin.

These carts carrying wooden coffins soon blocked the intersection.

At the old man's signal, two men opened the wooden coffin on the front cart.

Inside the wooden coffin, a middle-aged man was tied up, his mouth was blocked, and his face was full of fear.

Seeing this, the leading white soldier and the black soldier looked at each other without saying a word.

The old man just took a step forward, and the hidden soldiers behind the two white soldiers raised their Greedy Wolf crossbows in unison.

The old man spread his hands and said in a deep voice: "You can verify their identities. There is no mistake. They are all people involved in this incident."

"I would like to ask you a question here, Your Highness, King Chu, is our sincerity enough?!"

"My Highness said it's not enough, so where is the leader of the Jucai Sect?"

"Shh!"

The hidden disaster was like a wandering evil spirit, appearing beside the old man without any warning.

Hearing this familiar voice, the old man's pupils suddenly shrank.

Before the Wei family was liquidated, a masked man killed people in the underground black market in the northwest corner with a knife, and took away many evidences that the Wei family had not had time to destroy.

That time, he escaped by luck, but he would never forget the style and voice of the other party's mask.

"Is... is it you?"

The old man swallowed hard.

Yin Zai did not answer, but continued to ask: "Where is the leader of the Jucai Sect?"

"Yes, right down there."

The old man lost any thought of struggling and spoke frankly.

"Are they your people?"

Yinzai's gaze shifted to the men pushing the carts.

"No, I'm just a messenger."

The old man's voice became smaller and smaller.

The white soldier and the black pawn immediately understood what their master meant and raised their hands together.

The next second, dense crossbow arrows broke through the air, tearing through the rain curtain and drowning the men who had no time to react.

"My Lord doesn't like smart guys."

Hidden Disaster said calmly.

"understand."

The old man's legs trembled and he nodded repeatedly.

"Miss."

In front of the white soldiers and black soldiers, two beautiful figures quietly appeared. Qingyu held an umbrella in his hand and stood aside to protect his princess from the rain.

Ye Liyan had already changed into the clothes she wore in the secret realm. She wore a black light armor under her robe and a ferocious Nuo mask on her face. With the blessing of the Demonic Eyes, it seemed as if it was alive and attached to her face, looking extremely hideous.

Even Qingyu was almost frightened by the terrifying aura of his own princess at the beginning.

"Verify their identities."

Ye Liyan changed her usual tone and her voice became unusually cold.

"Yes, ma'am."

The bluefish nodded slightly.

Without further ado, the white soldiers and black soldiers stepped forward and checked the identity of the person in the coffin.

There were only fourteen people in total, and they were quickly identified. Most of them were the escaped fish from several major families, two were followers of the Jucai Sect, and the last one was the rumormonger responsible for spreading the news.

not enough.

It is far from the number of names on the intelligence list.

They are all just scapegoats.

The white soldier and the black soldier understood everything and returned to their princess to report the situation truthfully.

"Got it, you guys step back."

Ye Liyan didn't say much, but just stretched out his hand forward, and scarlet lightning danced on his fingertips.

“Kacha...Boom!”

Under Qingyu's gaze, the space in front began to collapse, and a force that she could not understand surged out, turning into a black and red vortex that swallowed everything in an instant.

When everything calmed down, the wooden coffins and carts piled up at the intersection, along with several nearby houses, all disappeared, leaving only an empty space.

Qingyu withdrew his gaze and noticed that [End] appeared at some point and was quietly hanging beside his own princess.
