The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 784 The Mystery of Chang'an City
Datang, Chang'an.

Chang'an has a long history, which can be traced back to the ancient times before the new era.

In the era of the Heavenly Court of the Great Zhou, Chang'an existed as the accompanying capital of the Great Zhou. There were as many as [-] large-scale expansions recorded, and each expansion doubled the area of ​​Chang'an.In the dark age of the human race, although Chang'an was devastated, it remained largely intact.

After the establishment of Datang, Chang'an became the capital of Datang.After tens of thousands of years of continuous rest and expansion in the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of Chang'an has far exceeded any period in history.

Today's Chang'an is more than three thousand miles in length and width. There are three major districts in it: the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city, and it is divided into 30 neighborhoods, large and small.In the majestic city of Chang'an, the population is as high as [-] billion, not including all kinds of black people without household registration.

The city walls of Chang'an are as black as ink, with mottled marks all over them.The majestic city wall is like a moat, which makes people daunting.

Because of the huge area of ​​Chang'an, there are a total of [-] gates, including six gates for the army and four gates for foreign envoys to enter the city.Compared with other city gates, the guards of these city gates seem to be the most leisurely, because Datang has rarely used these city gates in recent years, especially the city gates dedicated to the army have not been opened for many years.

It's just that recently, these city gate guards who were originally lazy, are all worried and can't feel at ease.

The [-]-meter-high bronze city gate stands majestically, like an indestructible cliff.Under the huge city gate, there are hundreds of guards guarding it around the clock.

In an inconspicuous corner of the city gate, several figures carefully leaned together and chatted.

"Do you think this is evil? Commander Zhang was fine yesterday, but he became a walking dead when he changed shifts today." A middle-aged man with a beard and a cautious face looked around and said in a low voice: "I I heard that Commander Zhang was taken out of his soul by someone."

"Hiss, it's impossible. Commander Zhang is a powerful man in the realm of an ancient giant, and he didn't leave the city defense area yesterday, and has been keeping watch here. Who has this ability to sneak into our barracks without anyone noticing it?" Capture the soul of an ancient giant?"

"Isn't it? Even the night guards didn't notice anything unusual yesterday. If it wasn't for the change of shift today, everyone wouldn't know what happened to Commander Zhang."

"Hey, when you said that, I remembered something. Do you still remember that there have been many such things in the city recently. I won't talk about those far away, just the Dongfang Neighborhood's house not far from the city gate. The boss of the Duanbao Pavilion seems to have had his soul taken away by someone. I heard that even the bad guys haven’t been found out, so it’s been a few days, and there’s no result.”

"Li, Brother Li, what you said seems to be the case. But, why do I feel so cold." A young guard was terrified, and he couldn't help shivering as he spoke.

The bearded man turned his head to look funny, and was about to tease the young man when his eyes widened suddenly, his face full of horror.

I saw a black chain with the thickness of an arm and a sickle protruding from the wall of the city wall behind them.At this time, the mysterious scythe had been deeply inserted into the young man's body, but the strangest thing was that he didn't notice it at all!

The bearded man froze for a moment, and then shouted heartbreakingly: "Come here, something has happened!"

A quarter of an hour later, martial law was imposed at the city gate.

Several assistants surrounded the young man's body, and after examining it, they all frowned and shook their heads and said, "The soul has left the body, exactly the same as before."

Not far away, a senior general in silver armor had a gloomy face, in a terrible mood.

First, a senior general of an ancient giant was lost for no reason, and now someone was captured in broad daylight and lost his soul.He couldn't imagine what kind of tragedy would happen if things continued to deteriorate.The problem that bothered him the most was the successive tragedies in the defense zone, so he didn't know how to explain to the higher-ups.

The general said coldly: "Has the matter ever been asked?"

A tall bad man with a strange mask on his face said in a deep voice: "They have fully explained that a chain protruded from the city wall and took away the soul. After repeated inspections, they did not lie And this is the most troublesome thing."

The bad guy said, and walked towards the city wall that several people said, but he didn't even sense any abnormality.

"A chain protruding from the city wall!" The general frowned, his face full of disbelief.

The walls of Chang'an City are integrated, and the material is so strong that even a holy weapon cannot be broken. How could there be chains protruding from the walls?
"That's exactly what happened, but we're not sure if they saw the illusion." The bad guy shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Over the years, thousands of people have lost their souls in Chang'an City.

But in the past, I didn't go out a few times a year, and most of them were ordinary people, so it didn't attract much attention.After all, where there is light, there must be darkness.On the dark side of Chang'an City, unaccountable killings are going on every day. Who knows if some ignorant rookie didn't finish it well.

But in the recent period, more than a dozen people lose their souls every month, and there are many masters with good cultivation bases.For example, the commander of the city gate whose soul was captured last night is a strong man of the ancient giant.

It was also at this time that they realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Damn it." The general cursed with hatred on his face. Although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, he didn't say anything more.Things have happened, the most important thing is to find out what happened as soon as possible, useless anger will not solve the problem.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that a small panda-like beast that was only about a foot tall came to them as if there was no one in it, looked at the normal wall, turned and left whispering: "C'mon!" , Let that cunning guy escape again. Hmph, but you are still a little tender to escape from my palm."

Royal Palace.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Li Chengqian roared angrily when he received the news from the city gate, "What are you all doing? The leader of the mighty giant of the ages was killed while on duty and no one noticed!"

The general and others knelt down in the hall, trembling and daring not to defend themselves.

"One month, give me an answer within one month, otherwise you can figure it out." Li Chengqian said with a cold face, waving his sleeves angrily.

"Here." Everyone hurriedly responded, and then bowed and left the hall.They didn't dare to stand up until they were completely out of the hall.After everyone left, the anger on Li Chengqian's face dissipated, he was as calm as a robot, and he couldn't see the angry roar just now.

His eyes were deep, looking at the blue sky outside the window, he couldn't help sighing.

Hey, this matter is troublesome.

The unknown of the Holy Stone Mountain is at least a strong person in the realm of the virtual fairy, and it is not so easy to deal with enemies in this realm.What's more, the other party has sneaked into Chang'an, and it is even more difficult to solve the other party without hurting Datang's roots.

Perhaps, I can only go to see my father.

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, then said in a concentrated voice: "Show me, my king is going to Xuanhuang Palace."
