The ancient god lord

Guan Ze followed Jiang Chen obediently and served as a guard. Jiang Chen and Guan Ze agreed that as long as the Great Zhou Martial Competition was not over, Guan Ze could stay by Jiang Chen's side.

On the surface, Guan Ze was protecting Jiang Chen, but in fact, Jiang Chen provided shelter for Guan Ze.

However, Jiang Chen did not want to be too high-profile, and did not expose his ninth-level cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm, but chose to suppress his cultivation to the eighth-level of the Martial King Realm.

Because his true cultivation was exposed, Jiang Chen was also worried that Ye Yuntian would not be willing to go to the ring to fight with him, which would be troublesome.

Doing this was also to make Ye Yuntian defenseless. The eighth-level cultivation of the Martial King Realm could also allow Jiang Chen to defeat many geniuses.

It can be said that as long as the cultivator is above the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm, even if Jiang Chen is at the eighth level of the Martial King Realm, Jiang Chen can easily defeat the opponent. For cultivators at the fourth level and above of the Martial Emperor Realm, it may be a bit difficult with the eighth level of the Martial King Realm, but it doesn't matter. Jiang Chen will not lose anyway, because Jiang Chen can improve his cultivation at any time.

In fact, the people of Anyou have discovered that Ding Shao and others have fallen. Although Jiang Chen has dealt with the bodies, it is easy to leave other traces at the scene. Knowing that it is the place where Ding Shao and others fell, because there are some residual bodies and blood that have not been completely cleaned up. Anyou has been established for so long, and it has certain means for investigating this item, and it is easy to find some clues.

Moreover, all the residents of the town were killed. According to the wounds on these residents, it can be concluded that it was done by the people of Anyou.

Jiang Chen and others only dealt with the bodies of the Anyou killer and others at that time, and Jiang Chen and others did not deal with the bodies of other residents of the town.

After all, this town has about 30,000 people and so many houses. If all of them need to be dealt with, it would be a huge workload. Jiang Chen and Guan Ze certainly would not clean up so many bodies one by one. They only dealt with the bodies of Anyou and others and left in a hurry.

This is also to prevent Anyou and other people from catching up and meeting each other, which would be troublesome again.

Anyou's people also tracked all the way to Pingfu City, but Jiang Chen and Guan Ze stayed in the yard these days and did not go out, so they were not noticed by Anyou's people.

Now Anyou's people have left Pingfu City and went to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyou will not give up easily on the dark fruit and the murderer who killed so many Anyou killers.

So the people on Anyou's side plan to investigate in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the surrounding cities. Anyou people judged that the murderer is very likely to be near the capital.

Because the final match of the Great Zhou Wu Competition is about to begin, many strong people will lead their disciples to the capital, or some others will gather in the capital to watch the final match of the Great Zhou Wu Competition.

This is the Great Zhou Martial Arts Competition held every five years. It is a grand event for the Great Zhou Dynasty. If a genius disciple can join a large sect, the Great Zhou royal family and the forces behind the genius will be rewarded by the large sect, and the amount of resources is quite large.

After all, the little resources given by the outside large sect are a huge amount of resources for the forces in small places like the Great Zhou Dynasty, which are not at the same level at all.

A few days later, Jiang Chen and others were about to arrive at the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now they are still about 300 miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Young Master, look, there are people in front." Guan Ze looked at the front and saw a lot of people.

The people in the middle are wearing the same clothes. It is obvious that they are from the same force and are surrounded by many people.

There are about 50 people in the middle, and there are more than 300 people surrounding them.

More than a hundred people appeared in front, and Jiang Chen and others could easily find them.

......

"Fellow Daoists, what do you mean? We are from the Luoji Chamber of Commerce, and we have paid the toll before. What do you mean by stopping us like this?" A middle-aged man stared at the people around him and said in a deep voice.

It turned out that the people who surrounded them were mountain bandits who specialized in collecting money from passers-by.

If you don't give it, you will easily die. These mountain bandits are extremely cruel.

Generally speaking, the area within a hundred miles outside the gate of the royal capital is the sphere of influence of the royal capital, and it is patrolled by the Zhou army. As long as you are within a hundred miles of the royal capital, it is relatively safe. No one dares to cause trouble within the sphere of influence of the royal capital.

But if it is beyond a hundred miles, it is uncertain. There are many mountain bandits who specialize in robbing passers-by and caravans.

Now it is still three hundred miles away from the royal capital. It is normal for mountain bandits to appear here. Mountain bandits are also bullies who are afraid of the strong and bully the weak. If they encounter a strong team or the other party is a strong person, then they dare not provoke, but if they see that the other party is weaker than their own, then they will come out to rob.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you cooperate obediently, they will not kill you, but they have a big appetite and want at least one-fifth of your property.

In order to save their lives, many people can only be forced to hand over their property in exchange for a life.

But recently, as the final match of the Great Zhou Martial Arts Competition is about to begin, more and more people are coming to the capital. This is also the most active time for mountain bandits, and their appetite is bigger than usual. They want to take this opportunity to get more wealth.

"What do you mean? Hand over all your wealth, so that you can avoid punishment, otherwise, all of you will lose your life. As for the toll? Sorry, we didn't receive it. It has nothing to do with us." The bandit leader sneered tiredly.

Bandit Dao is a cultivator of the second level of the Martial Emperor Realm. In addition to the bandit leader, there are three other cultivators of the first level of the Martial Emperor Realm.

The strength of this bandit group is extraordinary. The lowest strength is at the Martial Sect Realm, and there are dozens of Martial King Realm practitioners.

As for the strength of the caravan, it seems relatively weak.

In addition to the middle-aged man who just spoke, who is at the first level of the Martial Emperor Realm, there are more than a dozen Martial King Realm practitioners, and the others are all Martial Sect Realm practitioners, which is incomparable to the strength of the bandits.

I thought that their caravan would be much safer with a Martial Emperor Realm strongman sitting in charge, and they also paid a toll, so the bandits would not make things difficult for them, but they were still intercepted.

"Are you really going to be enemies with the Luoji Chamber of Commerce?" The middle-aged man said gloomily.

It is impossible for them to hand over all the goods. This is related to the interests of their chamber of commerce. The things in the caravan are now worth 2 billion spirit stones. For the Luoji Chamber of Commerce, this is a huge amount of money, of course, it is impossible to hand it over.

"You are really looking for death. You have several beautiful women in your team. Now I want all your wealth, and you have to leave these women to us. You can still leave, otherwise, you will all die here." The bandit leader sneered.

The bandit leader is Leng Bailong. He has so many strong men under his command. He is a very famous mountain bandit in the area near the royal capital.
