C1241 Not a simple messenger
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I am extremely grateful towards you for this matter. I will definitely reward you well later on."
Zhou Buli laughed and said, "That's only right."
Qing Mayor then looked at the crowd, "I have to thank everyone this time too."
Everyone laughed, while that Mayor smiled and said, "Wait till late in the night, I will open the tunnel, then everyone can quickly go in."
Everyone nodded, and then Mayor spoke again, "This passage will be maintained for around fifteen minutes. After that, I will open it again after six hours. When that time comes, all of you can come back.
"Alright." Everyone answered.
Then, everyone waited while Lin Tianxie laughed. He then came to the back of the Mayor and marked a soul mark on his body.
The Qing Mayor felt a strange wind behind him, and stared behind him, but was unable to discover Lin Tian, causing him to reveal a puzzled expression.
The crowd did not know what was going on and continued to chat. Some of them even said, "Those two guys are idiots. Do they really think that we will only open our Dao tomorrow?"
"That's right, these two people are probably waiting at the inn."
In an instant, everyone had mocked Lin Tian and Mo Zhong, but Lin Tian did not care. As for Mayor Qing, after waiting for a while, he brought everyone towards the courtyard at the back of the passageway.
This courtyard was at the back of the tunnel, so it was impossible to discover it from the front.
As a result, Mo Zhong and Su Jing had no way of knowing if there was anyone outside the passage or not, and quietly observed what was going on.
The Azure Mayor went to the backyard, and brought everyone to a different tunnel. Then, he opened a path to the stone door.
There was a place for the keys in the stone door.
"Everyone, I am going to activate it soon. You must all hurry."
"Yes."
Everyone answered, but the Qing Mayor placed a square stone that was shining with a gold light into a groove.
In the instant it was inserted, the wall before them turned into a flash of golden light and everyone waited happily.
However, just as they were about to enter, the golden rock suddenly flew out.
Everyone was shocked, while the Qing Mayor was confused, all of them curious where the key was going.
"Quickly chase!" The Azure Mayor immediately gave the order, and the black-cloaked cloaked men gave chase. The shopkeepers also gave chase one after the other.
When they ran onto the street, Mo Zhong and Su Jing had their suspicions, until Lin Tian suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Get the key."
At this time, a golden light appeared in Lin Tian's hand, and Mo Zhong became suspicious, "Key? You got the key? "
"Right."
Su Jing was puzzled, "Didn't they say tomorrow?"
"That manager tricked us." After Lin Tian finished speaking, he kept the key, and the people on the street apparently noticed the movements in the inn.
Therefore, the Qing Mayor shouted, "Come out."
Lin Tian, Mo Zhong and the others flew out of the window, and landed in front of them.
The moment Zhou Buli saw Lin Tian, he asked, "Yes, did you take the key away?"
Lin Tian laughed and said, "What? Only allow you to scam me? You don't allow me to cheat you? "
Zhou Buli was extremely anxious, "You, how did you know we were going to open the way today?"
"That's easy. I'll monitor you from the shadows. Isn't that fine?" Lin Tian laughed as he looked at Zhou Buli, and when everyone heard that it was Zhou Buli who lured Zhou Buli over, they all started to blame Zhou Buli, and some of them even asked, "Brother Zhou, look, what have you done?"
"Brother Zhou, I didn't expect that you would be the one to bring them here."
Zhou Buli was extremely depressed, especially since he was flattered by the audience just a moment ago, but now he was stepped on by them.
However, at this time, Qing Mayor coldly said, "Brat, I intentionally avoided you, yet you took the initiative to send yourself at my doorstep. Do you really not want to live anymore?"
"Now that I have the key, do you think I need to find you?" Lin Tian smiled and asked the Qing Mayor.
"Brat, let me tell you, even if you have the key, it's useless. Opening this tunnel requires a spell, without that spell, you won't be able to open it even if you inserted the key tens of thousands of times."
Lin Tian did not think that a key would be so troublesome, but Lin Tian smiled and said, "It's fine, I'll catch you."
"Capture me? "Then let me show you their power." After he finished speaking, he turned towards a cloaked man and said respectfully, "Sir Xue, I'll leave it to you."
At this moment, a cloaked man walked out. A magical staff appeared in his hand, and all of them were skulls.
Everyone was frightened when they saw these skulls. Some of them whispered, "Don't tell me he is the messenger that was guarding the passage?"
"It must be." The shopkeepers were all extremely respectful.
Su Jing warned Lin Tian and Mo Zhong, "Be careful, this messenger is an expert guarding the passage."
"Which power of the Nine Prefectures does this messenger belong to?" Lin Tian suddenly asked, and Su Jing hesitated, "It's said that emissaries are exchanged every thousand years, and these emissaries are also from the nine countries in the Nine Prefectures.
After Lin Tian said that, he looked towards the envoy and that envoy coldly said, "Kid, I am from the Snow Country, everyone likes to call me Xue Jue Sha. If you don't want to die, hand over the key, or else I will take your life."
Lin Tian stared at Xue Jue Sha and laughed, "You are the emissary in charge of guarding the passage, so why are you acting like a dog for the people of City Lord's Mansion? And even closed the passage? "
"The people from Qin Kingdom do not wish for you to go."
"So you're saying, your Snow Country and your Qin Kingdom are in cahoots?"
"We are from the Alliance." That Xue Jue Sha was very straightforward, but Lin Tian said clearly, "No wonder."
"So you should know that as long as we are here, you will never be able to pass through this tunnel. So, you might as well hand over the key and I won't pursue this matter. Xue Jue Sha spoke as if Lin Tian was grateful.
But Lin Tian laughed strangely, "Not pursue the matter? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? "
"Boy, I am able to become an emissary so naturally, I am able to stand guard over this tunnel. So, it's best if you don't provoke me, otherwise you will regret it."
"Do whatever you have to do. Let me see what you, an envoy, can do." Lin Tian's words completely made Xue Jue Sha snort, "Alright."
With that, Xue Jue Sha's staff began to tremble, and the ghostly aura began to emit from his surroundings. The shopkeepers scattered one by one, not daring to come close.
When Mo Zhong saw it, his eyes widened, "It's Ghost Cultivator."
Su Jing said in surprise, "I never thought that you would be an envoy from the Ghost Cultivator."
Just then, a group of skeletons appeared behind Xue Jue Sha, and these skeletons released the ghostly aura. Then, they walked towards Lin Tian and the others.
Mo Zhong was the first one who could not resist, as he started to attack the skeletons crazily. No one knew that these skeletons had strange powers, no matter how Mo Zhong attacked, he would be absorbed by the skeletons.
This greatly alarmed Mo Zhong, "What's going on?"
Su Jing was also dumbstruck, while Lin Tian stared at the skeletons for a long time. As for Xue Jue Sha, he mocked, "These skeletons were specially refined, so normal attacks are useless against them!"2
