511: C511 The Old Hag

C511 The Old Hag

"Oh, my God! It was those two who annihilated the Tuo Hua Ridge bandits in one fell swoop?"

"It's simply inconceivable. If it wasn't for the Princess personally saying it, I absolutely wouldn't dare believe that it was true."

"They were able to annihilate an enormous group of bandits like the Tuo Hua Ridge, so exactly how formidable were their cultivations?"

...

On the surrounding streets, the crowd of cultivators and commoners were all dumbfounded. They looked at Ye Lan and Ox Devil in astonishment, feeling incomparably shocked in their hearts.

They were well aware of the strength of the Tuo Hua Ridge horse bandits.

They knew that the imperial family of Golden Rooster State had been sending troops to surround and kill the bandits for more than ten years, but they had never made much progress. On the contrary, they had suffered heavy losses over the past ten years, and many elite soldiers and generals had died.

But now, such a large group of bandits had been destroyed by a young man and a burly man.

It would be strange if they weren't shocked. All of them were shocked by Ye Lan and Ox Devil's formidable strength!

Soon.

The news of Guan Yelan and Ox Devil quickly spread across the entire Vine Armor City like a storm.

Even the mayor of Vine Armor City, who had come to receive Shi Zihan and the rest of the imperial family's army, was alarmed. He hurriedly invited Ye Lan and Ox Devil to the City Lord's Mansion as guests, and wanted to treat them well.

"Princess, thank you for your good intentions. The two of us still have to hurry on our way, so why don't we go to the City Lord's Mansion as guests?"

Ye Lan politely declined.

They were still in the Golden Rooster State, and the people of the Skywind Empire would come at any time.

Once the people of Skywind Empire found out that they were in Vine Armor City in Golden Rooster State, they would definitely send powerful warriors to surround and kill them.

At that time, once the war broke out, the people of Vine Armor City would be plunged into misery and suffering.

This peaceful and serene city was bound to be plunged into an abyss of misery.

Ye Lan didn't want the people of Rattan Armor City to fall into a difficult situation because of his relationship with Ox Devil.

"Benefactor, it's just a meal. We're not in a hurry to get there.

After tonight, I'll ask General Hu and the others to send someone to escort the two of you. How about it?"

Shi Zihan invited.

She really wanted to get to know Ye Lan and Ox Devil, these two powerful experts. She also hoped that these two powerful experts could join the Golden Rooster State Imperial Family and become a great help to her, Royal Father.

"No need, Princess. Farewell."

Ye Lan refused.

After saying that, he brought Ox Devil straight to the east of the city.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ye Lan and Ox Devil to stay, Shi Zihan felt helpless and could only look at Ye Lan and Ox Devil's disappearing figures with a disappointed expression.

"General Hu, do you think they hate me?"

Looking at Ye Lan and Ox Devil's departing figures, Shi Zihan said with a sad face.

"No, I think they have something to hide."

Hu Luan looked at Ye Lan and Ox Devil's departing figures and faintly felt that Ye Lan and Ox Devil must have something to do so they had no choice but to hurry.

"Is that so? I hope so!"

Shi Zihan sighed bitterly.

She turned around and returned to the carriage. She followed the army to the City Lord's Mansion of Vine Armor City.

Vine Armor City, City Lord's Mansion.

Night. The moon and stars were scarce.

Shi Zihan sat by the window alone and looked up at the sky. She felt a cool breeze blowing and her heart was calm.

"Princess of Golden Rooster State."

In the room, a figure flashed like a ghost, accompanied by a cold and hoarse voice.

Shi Zihan was startled and quickly turned her head to look.

She discovered that the person who appeared was an ugly looking hunchbacked old woman.

The old woman was dressed in a black robe with blood coloured runes embroidered on it. Her entire body emitted an extremely cold aura.

Her face was wrinkled, and her eyes were green. Her skin was as white as paper, and under the moonlight, she looked like a ferocious ghost that had crawled out from the first place.

The hunchbacked old woman held a skeleton walking stick in one hand and a white doll in the other.

That cloth doll also looked terrifying and terrifying. Just looking at it made people's scalps go numb.

They didn't come with good intentions!

Shi Zihan saw the hunchbacked old woman and immediately felt uneasy. A trace of fear flashed across her eyes.

"Who are you?"

Shi Zihan quickly drew the sword from her waist and coldly stared at the hunchbacked old woman.

"Hall of Surgery of Myriad Devil Cult - - Old Lady Tian Yu."

The old woman grinned hideously.

"Myriad Devil Cult?"

Shi Zihan's heart skipped a beat.

Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and the uneasiness and fear in her heart became even stronger.

Regarding the name of the Myriad Devil Cult, she had heard of it like thunder. She knew that it was an extremely huge devil religion.

In the sect, there were as many experts as the clouds.

Under her command, there were a total of five halls.

The strength of each hall was enough to easily overturn a small country like Golden Rooster State!

Now, Shi Zihan was no longer shocked by the background of this old woman. Instead, she was curious as to why she had appeared in Golden Rooster State. Furthermore, she had suddenly found her?

"Princess, don't be afraid. The old woman only came here to ask the princess about two things.

After confirming it, she will leave."

The old woman smiled.

"What is it?"

Shi Zihan asked subconsciously.

"First of all, does the princess know this person?"

The hunchbacked old woman took out a portrait. The person on the portrait was a Teenager with Delicate Features, and it was none other than Ye Lan.

"I don't know him!"

When Shi Zihan saw the old woman take out Ye Lan's portrait, although she didn't know why the old woman wanted to ask Ye Lan about it, she knew that the old woman definitely didn't have good intentions. Therefore, she simply said that she didn't know him.

"Is that so? But I heard that this person killed me, Disciple, and saved the princess from the Tuo Hua Ridge!"

The hunchbacked old woman smiled coldly.

Shi Zihan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed drastically. She suddenly understood something. "Xue Tuohua is your disciple?"

"Yes! I have come here alone to find this person and kill him to avenge me, Disciple."

"I'm sorry, I don't know him, and I don't know where he went!"

Shi Zihan replied coldly.

"Then there is no other way. Princess, you are forcing the old woman to do it herself!"

The hunchbacked old woman shook her head and laughed.

In her hand, the skull's walking stick struck out. Two beams shot out from the two black eyes of the skull and entered Shi Zihan's eyes, quickly entering her Sea of consciousness.

In an instant, Shi Zihan was controlled by the old woman's skull stick.

"How is it? Do you know this person?"

"Yes!"

Shi Zihan was like a soulless walking corpse as she nodded her head in response.

"Now, where is this person?"

The hunchbacked old woman asked.

"He has gone to the east of the city. He should be leaving the city for Dragon Abyss."

Shi Zihan continued.

"Very well. Farewell, princess!"

The hunchbacked old woman replied.

With a flash, she disappeared like a ghost.

After she disappeared, Shi Zihan's mind returned to normal and cold sweat started to form on her forehead and back.

She was breathing heavily.

Previously, she was controlled by the hunchbacked old woman and had a clear consciousness but her body and will were completely out of control.1

When the old woman asked her about Guan Yelan, she didn't want to answer, but her body couldn't help but respond.

This caused Shi Zihan to feel a lingering fear. She thought to herself that Old Lady Tian Yu from the Myriad Devil Cult's Hall of Surgery was too strange and powerful.

An expert like that was not someone an ordinary person could resist.

An expert like Xue Tuohua was only her disciple. It was imaginable how powerful her strength, cultivation base, and abilities were.

If Ye Lan was facing such an expert, he would never be able to escape alive.

At this thought, Shi Zihan felt anxious.

"General Hu!"

Bang ~

The door opened and Hu Luan, who had been guarding outside the room, quickly walked into the room. He knelt in front of Shi Zihan and said respectfully, "Princess, what orders do you have?"

"Quick, send troops to the east of the city and tell City Lord Luo to send experts from City Lord's Mansion to attack."

Shi Zihan hurriedly ordered.

"Princess, why?"

Hu Luan did not understand. It was late at night, why did the princess suddenly give the order to send troops to the east side of Vine Armor City?

"Save them!"

Shi Zihan urgently said.

Hearing this, Hu Luan did not dare to be neglectful and quickly carried out the mission that Shi Zihan had given him. He quickly gathered the many Royal Experts who had come to Vine Armor City this time.

At the same time, Vine Armor City's City Lord Luo also received Shi Zihan's orders and swiftly transferred over a thousand elite troops from City Lord's Mansion to follow the army led by Hu Luan to the east side of Vine Armor City.

"Princess, you are a daughter of a noble family. You are not allowed to go. Just stay in the mansion and leave this matter to me and the others."

Seeing that Shi Zihan was going to follow them to the east side of the city to save Ye Lan and Ox Devil, Hu Luan urged her hastily.

"No, Ye Lan and Old Bull are my saviors. Now, Old Lady Tian Yu from the Hall of Surgery of Myriad Devil Cult is going to kill them. How can I sit by and do nothing?"

Shi Zihan refused decisively.

After that, she urged her horse to the east of the city.

Behind them. Hu Luan was extremely anxious, and she hurriedly urged her horse to follow.
