Chapter 548 The Mysterious Man Who Brought the Jar Into the City

Ji Xun had a good impression of Reni.

After all, the career template [Thousand Hands Magic] he used when he was promoted to the sixth level was obtained from Reni, the top-quality card left by the puppet master of the God of Play Clan, "Strange Puppet" Yami, more than 200 years ago.

And the magic secret method "Thousand Puppet God Gate" that allows people to use more minds and more things was also learned from Reni.

This has helped Ji Xun a lot to get to where he is now.

Seeing an old acquaintance appear in Honglou, Ji Xun couldn't help but guess in his heart: "Is he here for me?"

He and Reni met because of the inheritance relic [Gray Mist Relic] of the God of Play Clan.

Before, Ji Xun's witch distortion was out of control, and he thought about using that relic to strip off the uncontrolled consciousness.

However, at that time, the Orlan Royal Court had been successfully restored, and the Silver Moon Sect had swept the entire East Wilderness. Reni was not found in the rat camp in the sewer of Extreme Bandit City.

Ji Xun left an encrypted message in Extreme Bandit City.

They agreed that if they saw it, they would meet in Innocence City and borrow the relic.

But later, when they went to South Road, the witch distortion also found the secret method to suppress the succubus, so he didn't rush to find someone.

I didn't expect to meet him in Honglou now.

Lei Ni is the grandfather of Chujiu and Nan Jing. Although the two women have heard of him, they don't know him.

Nan Jing listened to the experience of Ji Xun and Lei Ni's acquaintance, but she was more concerned about Ji Xun's physical condition, and she also agreed: "Well, [Gray Mist Relic] can indeed solve the problem of witch distortion. But that method will strip away some of the cognition, and the cost is not small. It may directly turn into a madman."

She only knew this after inheriting the lineage of the high priest.

As she said that, she thought of something and added: "The [Gray Mist Relic] is the inheritance treasure given by Emperor Lanlingster to the God of Play Clan. It is said that there are some fragments of the emperor's consciousness in it."

But as soon as she said this, her expression was slightly strange, as if she was hiding something.

When Ji Xun saw the "M" signature on the relic, he actually guessed that this thing was the relic of the Great Emperor.

Now seeing Nan Jing confirm this statement, he also guessed why her expression was a little strange, so he asked directly: "Is there a witch consciousness stripped from Emperor Lanlingster in the relic?"

"Yes."

After hearing Ji Xun's words, Nan Jing's expression became natural.

She blinked and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Ji Xun smiled and explained: "I have seen the Great Emperor in the witch period in the other dimension."

Nan Jing was immediately surprised when he heard this: "Ah? Ji Xun, do you know that His Majesty the Great Emperor has transformed into a witch? And... have you seen it?"

Even Chujiu, who has always been expressionless, has a look of great interest in his eyes.

But after all, Emperor Lanlingster is Chujiu's ancestor, and he is also a close person to Nan Jing's ancestor. It is naturally not good to gossip about the ancestor.

Ji Xun had no such scruples, "Yes." He smiled and said, "Emperor Lanlingster sealed 'Scarlet Corruption·Sayadis' in the southern continent. That time node was very early, and the Taren Empire might not have been established at that time. At that time, he was a witch. Later, after Taren was founded, the epic records that he was no longer a witch. I suspected at the time that either a way to reverse the distortion must be found, or the witch-related consciousness must be stripped off and the gender must be changed back." Soul reversal is not feasible, so it can only be stripped off. "So that's it." Chujiu and Nanjing listened to the gossip and interesting stories of their ancestors tens of thousands of years ago across time and space. After listening to Ji Xun's story about that magical experience, the two women felt it was amazing. But Miss Wanzitou's focus was obviously not on the technical level of witch stripping. Because she really understood this. Instead, she turned her eyes and asked a seemingly irrelevant question curiously: "Is the emperor good-looking in the witch period?"

Ji Xun looked at the gossipy eyes and his eyebrows moved slightly.

Obviously, this high priest knew some "ancient rumors".

For example, the talking mirror on the [Neon] Netherworld Train where the Bai family's immortals have been living for generations. The activation spell is "Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" The answer is "Of course it is the great emperor Lanlingster who turned into a witch."

At first, I thought it was a spoof by the ancestors of the Bai family.

But the facts proved that it was not a joke, but a fact.

The stunning beauty and temperament are still fresh in Ji Xun's memory, so he smiled and said: "Of course. The great emperor Lanlingster in the witch state is very stunning"

When Nan Jing heard it, the fire of gossip burned in his crystal eyes, and he asked: "How beautiful is it?"

Ji Xun guessed correctly, there has always been this rumor unknown to outsiders in the inheritance of the Nan family. That's why she was even more curious and wanted to verify what the legendary and incomparably beautiful Emperor Lanlingster looked like.

Although Chujiu didn't say anything, she was obviously very interested.

Ji Xun didn't know how to describe it.

I wanted to draw it.

But he felt that no matter how he drew it, he couldn't draw the original charm of the emperor in his memory.

For an existence of that level, appearance only accounts for a small part of her charm. The most special thing is the powerful aura and indescribable law power that lingers on her body, which makes the world pale in comparison.

Recalling that glance back, Ji Xun was deeply impressed by the black that seemed to see the most gorgeous and colorful black in the world.

He couldn't describe that feeling, but his eyes turned to Chujiu, thinking of something, and smiled at his eyebrows: "Well, it's a bit similar to Chujiu."

Chujiu was stunned: "???"

"ah?"

Nan Jing blinked, as if he understood what Ji Xun meant, and smiled: "Oh, that's really beautiful."

".."

Chujiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, without saying anything more.

Ji Xun also smiled and said nothing.

This is not nonsense, but Chujiuben is somewhat similar to her ancestor, the great emperor.

Besides, the three of them occasionally joked and enjoyed themselves.

On the other side, Ji Xun's shadow has already gone to the first floor.

Lennie blended in with the crowd like a regular guest.

Ji Xun originally thought that he had stayed in Sinless City and came here to have some fun.

After all, the rest of the Eastern Wasteland is now controlled by the Silver Moon Sect. Although this is the occupied area of ​​the Southern Continent, it is safer for wanted criminals like him.

However, after watching for a while, I found that Reni seemed to be waiting for something.

The current situation in Innocence City is very special, and things will change later.

Ji Xun didn't waste any time and walked over directly.

Before even saying hello, Reni was already very alert and aware that someone was coming towards him.

But after he could see the face of the visitor clearly, the caution hidden in his eyes turned into surprise, and he said, "Brother Ji Xun?"

Ji Xun also said hello with a normal expression as if meeting an acquaintance: "Brother Reni, why are you here?"

Reni looked at Ji Xun, glanced around again from the corner of his eye, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a long story. I've been coming to Innocence City for a while."

Seeing the person coming to the appointment finally fulfilled the last knot in my heart.

Without waiting for more questions, he explained directly: "I saw the message you left two months ago. Then something happened. I just came to Innocence City three months ago and I didn't see you again. , I thought it was too late, what happened to you? After all, I agreed at the beginning that I was just borrowing the relic."

The tone was full of sincere apology.

It's not that he doesn't keep his word, but that the situation in Donghuang is too complicated.

This was the time from when he received the message to when he rushed to attend the appointment.

But it was too late to elaborate on those words. Reni only said with emotion: "I don't know if it has delayed your business."

"No, not really."

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head.

When he saw that the old puppet master really kept his promise, he understood everything and of course he didn't care about that.

But Reni really took it as a big deal. He took out a cloth bag that he kept close to him and said, "You are here just in time. Take this relic and leave the Innocence City as soon as possible."

"Oh? Why are you leaving?"

Ji Xun could see a trace of anxiety on Reni's face, as if he knew something bad was about to happen.

Reni hesitated to speak, but finally said one more thing: "It's inconvenient to go into details about this matter. Just leave Innocence City as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be danger."

"."

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened, already guessing something.

If Reni can say that staying in Innocence City is dangerous, and that the entire city is in danger, then it can only be related to the Titan armor.

Then think about the inside story that his former identity may have come into contact with.

It is very possible that the Oran Royal Court may have to do some big work.

Seeing that Ji Xun didn't speak, Reni seemed to have remembered something again, and said: "By the way, I have carefully studied and understood it before. In addition to some fragments of the consciousness of my ancestors of the God of Play clan, this relic also contains some information about The secret of Emperor Lanlingst. But I haven’t had enough exposure to the realm. Brother Ji Xun, you are more talented than me. You can think about it more. If there is another chance in the future, please help me pass on those puppet tricks to the right person. people."

These words are like giving last words.

Ji Xun heard too many hidden meanings.

Since Reni knew that Innocence City was dangerous, why didn't he leave?

He took the relic and asked directly: "Are you waiting for someone?"

Reni didn't hide it either: "Yeah. I'm waiting for a slave auction."

As he spoke, he directly added: "Entrusted by an old friend to help rescue a junior."

Ji Xun heard that he understood and had already deduced too much information in his mind.

When they met in the Thieves City before, he knew the identity of Reni very well. He could be an old friend, but he didn't dare to show up in person, fearing that it was someone else, most likely someone from the Oran Royal Court.

He did not pretend not to know, but asked directly: "Slave? Are you one of the people who were captured in the secret workshop of Oran Palace before?"

The situation in Innocence City is now very complicated. The secret game between the Oran Royal Court and the Iris Legion has reached the point where a war may break out at any time.

Ji Xun happened to not find a breakthrough to participate in the secret fight between the two major forces.

But now that I see Reni, I seem to see a glimmer of possibility of breaking the situation.

When Ji Xun said this, he looked at Reni's expression and knew he had guessed correctly. He then said, "Those people are all bait. No matter who buys them, they will get into big trouble."

There was an auction brochure in the luxurious room he just opened. He happened to glance at it and saw the slave auction that was to follow.

Those who can be auctioned in Honglou are all high-level slaves, either with special status or high-level card masters.

Reni also knew Ji Xun's origins. When his thoughts were revealed, he did not hide it. He said with a firm expression: "I know, but I must save that person."

Ji Xun's eyes flashed with realization as he listened, and it seemed that he was determined to die.

That must be a very important person.

Reni seemed to know that he would probably die, but he would still try.     Thinking that he was going to die, he didn't seem to care about any secrets, and said directly: "That's my grandson."

It's good that someone knows this secret.

Ji Xun, an outsider, is just right.

"Grandson?"

Ji Xun was really surprised to hear that.

Didn't this guy say before that all the people related to him were killed by his own brother? He didn't even have a son, so where did the grandson come from?

And his semi-mechanical body didn't look like he could have a child in his old age.

Reni was afraid that Ji Xun would misunderstand that he had concealed something before, so he said: "I just found out not long ago. That was when I was young."

Ji Xun understood that it was probably an illegitimate child.

The woman didn't say it before for some reason, but now she said it.

Looking at the old man's expression, there is a high possibility that there is something hidden.

But Reni didn't continue. He was embarrassed for a rare moment and said, "It doesn't matter whether I have this face or not, but it's inconvenient to mention that old friend."

"."

Ji Xun didn't ask about other people's private affairs.

But this guy has already said this, and he has guessed most of it. Obviously, the woman is still a person of status.

It is very likely that she is a high-ranking official in the Orlan Royal Court. Maybe Chujiu and Nanjing know each other.

Ji Xun just chatted like this and didn't plan to leave.

Reni looked anxious and reminded again: "Brother Ji Xun, you... do you have anything else to do in the Innocence City? I mean, if not, just leave as soon as possible."

Ji Xun didn't say anything more and went straight to the point: "How much do you know?"

When Reni heard this tone, he realized that Ji Xun knew about the Orlan Royal Court and was very likely to come for this matter.

He frowned instantly, and the trembling light in his eyes seemed to have experienced complex psychological activities.

Finally, he said, "I don't know what will happen. But my old friend reminded me. After five days, I must leave Innocence City anyway."

He didn't care about the Orlan Royal Court, and there was nothing to worry about.

And he really didn't know anything, and it wouldn't affect anything if he said it.

"."

Ji Xun listened and fell into thought.

He knew that Reni only knew so much.

But the news was enough.

Must leave the city, that is to say, the crisis is likely to destroy the entire Innocence City?

Hey. It's really going to be a big deal.

Could it be a sacrifice?

Ji Xun recalled the situation of the Silver Moon Sect sacrificing millions of residents of the Tyrone Mechanical City in the previous battle. Those guys really did it.

But now there is no such condition.

This Innocence City is the base camp of the Iris Corps, with countless masters, and no one can help.

Maybe there is another way.

Ji Xun's thoughts instantly spread out, and he thought of some possibilities.

He also felt that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

While Ji Xun was thinking and not speaking, the actors on the stage had already left, and the auction was about to begin.

Reni's expression also became anxious.

Before he could say anything, Ji Xun said directly: "Leave it to me. I will help you save the person."

"Ah?"

Reni was stunned and did not react for a while.

Ji Xun repeated in a calm tone: "I mean, I will help you take a picture of your grandson and send him to a safe place."

"This"

Reni's eyes became very complicated when he heard it.

If it were someone else, he would not believe it, but he knew Ji Xun's strength. When he advanced to the sixth level, he had the strength comparable to that of a legendary card master, much stronger than himself.

Is it really possible?

Reni's eyes showed strong expectations, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Ji Xun, are you sure?"

At this moment, his mood was strongly fluctuating.

No one could have imagined how surprised he was when he learned from that old friend that he still had bloodline!

It was like a gift from the gods, and it was the biggest belief that kept him alive.

He could ignore his life, but he had to save his bloodline.

It was because he was not sure that he could save people even if he risked his life, that Ji Xun's words seemed to have helped him grasp the life-saving straw.

He knew very well that the young man in front of him was not the kind of person who would make random promises.

What if.

Before the old puppeteer's complicated interests could ferment, Ji Xun said calmly: "Well. No big problem."

Hearing this, Reni was struck by lightning, and the whole person stood there in a daze. The trembling of his eyes showed his inner excitement, "Then you. You."

As if there were too many words in his mouth, the old man spoke incoherently, "Then brother Ji Xun, are you too dangerous? Do you need my cooperation? Anything is fine."

"It's a small matter. I can solve it myself."

Ji Xun didn't explain much.

Although he didn't know what Reni's plan was, it seemed that he came alone.

The high probability plan was also very risky.

But this was not a big deal for Ji Xun.

His current ability is not enough to deal with the Grand Marshal Andre, but there is no risk in rescuing an auction slave.

When Reni heard Ji Xun's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally gave up his almost uncertain plan and left the first floor hall immediately, eliminating the suspicion of being targeted.

Ji Xun changed another avatar and stayed on the first floor.

Not long after, the auction started.

As in the auction brochure that Ji Xun got, the slaves auctioned were all high-quality slaves from the East Wilderness.

Some were former daughters of federal nobles, and some were captured high-level card masters.

Although the auction items did not say how they were captured, Ji Xun knew that several of them were elite guards captured from the secret base of the Orlan Royal Court.

These were all baits set up by the Grand Marshal of Iris.

No matter who bought it, they would be targeted.

Ji Xun didn't care at all, and raised his hand many times, as if he was determined to buy the boy named "Rake" regardless of other people's bids.

However, what surprised him a little was that although "Rake" was not very old, even a little younger than Ji Xun himself, he was a sixth-level card master!

Moreover, during the auction, it was specially introduced that this guy had a very high talent for thunder.

The price was already ridiculously high, more than ten times that of other sixth-level slaves.

However, Ji Xun had been to the South Continent, so of course he knew what was going on.

This was a top-quality slave in the South Continent, because it could be used as a "stud", and after mating, the offspring would have a very high affinity for the element of lightning.

The Dragonborn had studied the matter of blood inheritance very thoroughly.

For this reason, Ji Xun raised the auction price several times with the managers of several large mercenary groups, which attracted a lot of attention.

There were even informants from the Iris Corps who deliberately raised the price just to find some flaws.

This also made Reni, who was observing in secret, as nervous as a roller coaster, and he did not expect the auction price to be driven up so high.

If he really went there by himself, it would be difficult to complete the first step of the plan.

Fortunately, Ji Xun was rich and powerful, and he finally took it down directly.

Ji Xun had left traces on the South Road, and his disguised identity made it impossible to find any flaws.

There were people watching many links, such as payment and handover.

Ji Xun did not reveal any flaws at all.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible to rescue the person in this way.

Since the people of the Iris Corps dared to throw out the bait, they must have left some special marks.

Unless it was stuffed into Ivan's "stomach", the mark in Rek's body would definitely be sensed.

And once the space method is used now, some clues will be exposed in advance. This is enough for some mysterious methods to find clues.

Ji Xun did not intend to leave the Innocence City just like that and miss the excitement later.

The clone led the newly bought slave Rek to eat and drink in the city.

There would be no danger if the people of the Iris Corps could not find out the problem of his disguised identity.

The auction was to throw out bait, and those people would keep sending people to watch to see if there were other people to rescue.

After all, it was only after it was sold that people would have the illusion that they could be rescued.

Ji Xun did this, which was the best choice.

Similarly, he also wanted to see if he could contact the people of the Orlan Royal Court through these people.

Rennie knew that Ji Xun's plan was risky, but this was the only option he could think of to save people.

After all, that was his original plan.

After taking the photo, he would have to wait until the chaos in Innocence City started five days later before he could rescue the people.

But plans are plans.

He believed that he could not disguise himself perfectly and respond calmly like Ji Xun.

Time passed by like this.

Everything in Innocence City was as usual and still lively.

The Iris Corps also threw out a lot of baits one after another, but there was no sign that the Orlan Royal Court had taken the bait.

Ji Xun and his three friends also lived in Honglou, watched operas, and occasionally went out for a walk. They didn't even want to go to Titan Armor to cause trouble.

What no one knew was that on the third day after the auction, a mysterious man carrying an inconspicuous spell pottery jar mixed in with a team of mercenaries returning to the city, successfully passed the faith screening for entering the city, and swaggered into Innocence City.
