Otherworldly Demon King List

Chapter 284 Split
On the vast green forest avenue, a luxurious carriage pulled by two horses is galloping on the avenue paved with bluestones!
In front of the carriage, sat an old man in a white robe and a bald man in a thick black armor. These two were Lao Yun and Witch Yan!
In the carriage, Xia Hu and Xia Mei'er both sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing continuously!

It has been more than ten days since leaving Trathrui City, and it is not far from reaching Mangxiang City.

At this moment, the bluestone avenue where the carriage is galloping is the only official avenue leading to the west gate of Mangxiang City.

It can be vaguely seen that on both sides of the road, there are many passers-by of all kinds, walking slowly on the avenue, obviously rural farmers entering the city, and similarly, there are also many horses and luxury cars shuttling back and forth!
Teams of mercenaries wearing armor and weapons, either galloped to the city gate, or led the team to disappear at the end of the green forest!

The spacious avenue is neither deserted nor lonely, but has a different kind of noise!
As the carriage galloped non-stop, finally, Yun Lao had seen the tall tower of the west gate of Mangxiang City, and the dark soldiers on the tower wearing jet-black armor and holding sharp spears, and a Huge crossbows, trebuchets and other defensive equipment, under the sunlight, reflected the icy cold light!
The huge city gate was opened, and the suspension bridge over the moat was lowered. On both sides of the bridge, hundreds of guards were standing. Some dark soldier squad leaders in black armor and black cloaks were supervising their subordinates, checking each other. For the people who are about to enter the city, once they find any suspicious person, they will immediately capture him!
It is no wonder that the mysterious disappearance of the city lord of Mangxiang City has already made the people of Mangxiang City panic. Many high-ranking figures of Xiao Sect and the generals in the city lord's mansion are secretly anxious. It has been strengthened by nearly four or five times, and even the strictness of the investigation has been improved a lot.

The carriage stopped slowly, waiting for the investigation of the black armored soldiers!

After half an hour, it was finally Yunlao's turn. The carriage slowly stopped at the head of the suspension bridge. Several black-armored dark soldiers with stern faces came to Yunlao's carriage under the leadership of a small team leader. .

As soon as he got to the front of the carriage, the little captain saw Elder Yun vaguely taking out a token of Xiao Sect's Elder Ke Qing from his sleeve!
Seeing the token, the captain who wanted to take people into the carriage to search carefully, immediately bowed respectfully to Elder Yun, and then retreated with a few subordinates to give Yun Let go!
The west city of Mangxiang City is as prosperous as before, with bluestone streets lined with buildings of various colors——

Restaurants, teahouses, chess courts, guilds, many pedestrians with noble or poor identities shuttle back and forth among them!

The small vendors shouted enthusiastically, attracting a passer-by to watch and buy!
The traffic is busy, the voices are full of people, and the noise is extraordinary!

The purpose of the carriage that Yun Lao and four people ride is very clear, that is the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city!

After five hours of rushing, Yun Lao drove the carriage to the west gate of the City Lord's Mansion and stopped. Immediately, dozens of well-trained black scale guards surrounded them, holding the cold-glowing weapons in their hands, and turned the carriage Surrounded by it.

Not long after, a squadron leader with a strong aura and obviously possessing the strength of a battle soul master came to Lao Yun with a big horse and a golden sword. He was the captain who was in charge of guarding the west gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and his name was 'Zhang Long'!
He looks sturdy and majestic, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and beard, a pair of eyes that are as big as copper bells, dark and glowing skin, and curly hair that looks like a bird's nest, piled up in a mess, like a fierce general of the Three Kingdoms period' Zhang fly'!
Wearing black scale armor, wearing a large saber around his waist, and holding a huge black shield that is almost half his height in his hand. The shield is engraved with strange runes. Obviously, this shield is a defensive soul soldier. !
Elder Yun recognized the squadron leader 'Zhang Long' who guarded the west gate of the City Lord's Mansion. When he saw the other party coming, he immediately cupped his fists, "Captain Zhang, long time no see!"

Knowing that the person sitting in the carriage was Xiao Zong's only guest elder 'Mr. Yun', Zhang Long didn't dare to trust him, let alone presumptuously, so he hurriedly returned the gift, "I don't know if Mr. Yun is returning home, but I hope you will forgive me!"

After finishing the sentence, he drank the subordinates who were still surrounding the carriage, "What are you still doing around?! Get off everyone! Also, open the door for me! Let Mr. Yun go in!"

Those black-scale guards retreated under orders, and when they were about to open the west gate according to Zhang Longde's order, a slightly cold voice sounded out of place, "Hehe! Captain Zhang, you and I were ordered to guard the City Lord's Mansion. Now, someone wants to You want to enter the door, but you didn't even have to check, is it a bit dereliction of duty?!"

Hearing the sound, Yun Lao, Tan Wuyan, and Zhang Long all shot at the middle-aged man who spoke!

Like Zhang Long, the middle-aged man was thick-backed, wearing the same military uniform as Zhang Long, and seemed to be a squadron leader. Moreover, Mr. Yun could tell that the middle-aged man was not as strong as Zhang Long up and down.

Hearing that the other party intended to stop him, Old Yun frowned slightly. What he was worried about had indeed happened. The top management of Mangxiang City may have been torn apart now!
Without Xiao Jianxuan's leadership and with him as the center, some high-level executives of Mangxiang City with small calculations began to fight secretly for power!

He knew that the middle-aged man should also recognize him, but now, he deliberately blocked him, apparently under the orders of someone behind him, or in other words, the other party belonged to a certain faction in Mangxiang City!
Everything was as Elder Yun expected, the current Mangxiang City has been completely split, and the seven elders of Xiao Sect have been divided into two factions!
One faction is the conservative faction, that is, the faction headed by Xiao Yuan, and Zhang Long belongs to a small figure under this faction!

The other faction is the Reform Sect, which is a faction jointly formed by the three elders of the Xiao Sect. They have gathered many powerful deacons and elite disciples in the sect, and many soul refining masters with strong soul refining skills follow behind them. , even some generals and captains in Mangxiang City are headed by those three elders, forming a strong force not weaker than the conservatives!

Now, in the entire Mangxiang City and even Xiaozong's internal affairs, the conservatives and reformers account for half of the strength of the number of people, even the four gates guarding the city lord's mansion in the southeast, north and south!
The middle-aged man with a cold expression and a contemptuous smile is a member of the Reform Sect, named 'Wang Linran'!
Be loyal to the reformers, and keep in mind the purpose of the reformers, that is to greatly weaken the strength of the conservatives!

This Wang Linran naturally recognizes Elder Yun. In the Xiao Sect, he is the soul refiner with the highest prestige and the strongest soul refining technique. As the guest elder of the Xiao Sect, his status is not lower than that of the Seven Elders of the Xiao Sect, and even faintly surpasses the Seven Elders. His status is second only to Xiao Jianxuan, the city lord!
Therefore, no one who works for Xiao Jianxuan knows Lao Yun!

Moreover, this Elder Yun was listed as the most important person to be excluded by the three elders of the reformation faction, because Elder Yun is strong, and his soul refining technique and reputation are also high. At the same time, he is dedicated to protecting Xiao Yuan. Pai, then, we can only try our best to squeeze him out so that he cannot be used by Xiao Yuan!
If, once it is allowed to participate in the battle between the conservatives and the reformers, then the strength of the reformers will be much weaker than the conservatives, and they may be at a disadvantage!

Naturally, Wang Linran, who is a member of the reformist faction, will come forward to stop it!

He absolutely does not want Yun Lao to enter the City Lord's Mansion, no matter how powerful the opponent's strength and prestige are, he will try his best to keep him out!
This is also one of the reasons why the reformists placed their own people in the four gates of the city lord's mansion in the southeast and northwest!

The purpose is to prevent Yun Lao from returning!
