The journey was fraught with surprises but no real danger.
Thanks to the accumulated experience of the caravan, they avoided all sorts of strange disasters and arrived at the outskirts of Chaos City on the eighteenth day of entering the desert.
There are no major powers in the desert, nor is it like the wilderness with numerous factions vying for control and cities scattered everywhere.
But Chaos City is an exception.
It was originally a stronghold established by a group of people who were pursued and killed by external forces. Later, a sovereign-level strongman emerged among them, and they successfully avenged themselves, but the stronghold they built has been left behind, accepting a batch of desperadoes.
Over time, the stronghold developed into a city.
No matter what kind of grievances one has committed outside, everyone is treated equally in Chaos City.
There are no rules, no constraints here.
The principle of strength above all else is more naked than anywhere else.
But Chaos City is not so easy to enter.
Outsiders who want to enter the city must have the corresponding token, otherwise they will be regarded as a provocation to the sovereign strongman and will be endlessly pursued and killed.
"We're here."
Outside Chaos City is a large area inhabited by the lower class.
Most of the people living here are those who have been squeezed out by the outside world and have fled here, but are not qualified to enter the city.
It's similar to the nature of the Chenyue Valley outside the Yanyue Immortal Sect.
Old Smoker stepped forward and took Su Huai's hand.
"Young friend, wait a moment, my relative will be here soon, you'll be fine if you follow me."
Su Huai nodded: "Okay."
Not long after, a ninth-level old butler found the caravan and led Su Huai and Old Smoker into the residential area.
The caravan leader looked at the backs of the people and pulled the corners of his mouth: "They really dare to take people back..."
The sovereign strongman he invited to protect the caravan was leaning against a camel beast, also looking at Su Huai, who looked like a pure young man, with great interest.
"He doesn't want a direct collision, it's just some crooked ways, drugging, or maybe an array."
"But Su Huai..."
"Didn't he really not see that Old Wang has been so attentive to him all the way and wants to do something to him?"
"I don't know, it should not be so stupid."
The caravan leader paused, and there was some doubt on his face.
"But it's not impossible... After all, there are always some 'good people' in the world who are easy to trust others."
"No matter how powerful Su Huai is, he may not be able to survive in Chaos City."
"Tsk, we'll know the result by tonight."
"It's also..."
A night without words.
Until the next morning, the caravan leader who has been paying attention to the Wang family's residence did not find any particularly big movement coming out of the Wang family's courtyard.
Early in the morning, the head of the Wang family brought Old Wang with a smiling face and sent Su Huai out.
It seems that the host and guest are happy and harmonious.
The caravan leader saw this scene, frowning.
"Could it be... Old Wang really just invited people to the Wang family as a guest?"
This idea was quickly overturned by himself.
Because as soon as Su Huai walked out not far, he saw the head of the Wang family suddenly pulled out the short sword he carried with him and stabbed it into Old Wang's chest.
Then, with a gloomy face, he stabbed again and again, and stabbed the old Wang head, who only had a cultivation of four levels, into a sieve on the spot, then turned around and closed the Wang family's door heavily.
Killing people in public, passers-by at the door of the Wang family did not even want to take a second look.
A moment later, the old butler of yesterday came out with a bowl of bone-dissolving water, gritted his teeth and dissolved the body of Old Wang from head to toe, all clean.
"Wang Butler, what happened to your Wang family yesterday?"
The old butler looked up at the head of the chamber of commerce, was silent for a while, and finally told the truth:
"Yesterday, Mr. Su came to our Wang family as a guest and had a friendly discussion with the old ancestor. The old ancestor couldn't resist for a while, and was unwilling to admit defeat, and his blood attacked his heart... He passed away."
"Hiss -"
"Then, Mr. Su was seriously injured and demanded that our Wang family pay for the medical expenses, and he said he wanted to take away nearly half of the property of the Wang family. The elder elder argued, and fell into the pool in the mansion that night... Unfortunately, he drowned."
"The second elder and the third elder wanted to get an explanation, and this morning when the maid went to call them to get up, they found that the two elders were not in the room."
"Everyone went to look for it, and only then did they find the bodies of the second and third elders in the place where the first elder drowned last night."
The old butler looked at the sky, his eyes full of tears.
"Mr. Su saw it and insisted that there was a water ghost in the Wang family's house. The water ghost didn't kill the first elder yesterday, and last night it also killed the second and third elders."
"Mr. Su is kind-hearted, as long as the head of the family pays 90% of the family property, he is willing to subdue the evil ghost, and take the evil ghost away from the Wang family, otherwise..."
"Mr. Su predicted..."
"The head of the family is the next person to be targeted by the water ghost."
In broad daylight, the head of the caravan suddenly shivered, and anyone who could see clearly knew what was going on.
Is Su Huai's prediction?
That's a naked threat!
But dare the Wang family break their face?
No.
Not only dare not break their face, but also meet all the requirements of others, and then send people away politely.
Because from the beginning, the Wang family invited Su Huai back to calculate Su Huai, greedy for the things on Su Huai, wanted to take Su Huai's life, to exchange for the resources urgently needed by the Wang family.
Now this result, no one to blame.
He glanced at the Wang family's courtyard, and then looked at the direction where Su Huai left, his intuition told him that the next time they met, Su Huai... It is very likely that he has become a senior in Chaos City.
And the Wang family, which has lost the old ancestor to sit in the town.
It is doomed to be devoured by the wolves waiting outside Chaos City in a very short period of time.
...
...
Chaos City · City Gate.
Su Huai, who got tens of thousands of imperial coins for nothing, hummed a tune and came under the city gate.
Old Smoker is really a good person!
Told him a story all the way, and took him to copy his own home, the only pity is that the Wang family is not very familiar with the current situation in Chaos City.
Su Huai's understanding of the city can only come from the distant memory of the little snake.
The city gate is tightly closed, and there are two extremely tall and strangely shaped demon guards standing at the door.
Just like the concept of Chaos City, all creatures are treated equally here.
Not only are there human beings, demons, ghosts, and other races gathered at the city gate.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a female elf.
Pointed ears, slender waist, long legs, golden hair like a waterfall
Red lips and white teeth, the temperament is like a fairy.
From a distance, it gives people a feeling of being a feather robe that always brings the color of smoke and clouds, and does not provoke the peach and plum blossoms of the world.
Setting aside Chu Siyu, Su Huai is willing to call her the most beautiful woman he has seen in the past nine lives, and can throw Cao Yi and others tens of thousands of Li Sidao.
Unfortunately, Su Huai only glanced at it and did not dare to look again.
Damn it, this is the first time Su Huai has seen a creature that can make him feel a strong sense of crisis from a distance, and it is absolutely a sovereign-level strongman.
But the elf woman still noticed Su Huai's glance just now, squinting at him and coming over.
Su Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head and walked away.
Damn it, don't mess with me, don't come over, I just took a look at you by accident, really don't come over, I won't enter the city today.
Unfortunately, when she found out that he wanted to run, the elf woman took a step and appeared in front of him in the next moment.
Her gaze was straight at his hand.
To be precise, it was staring at the ouroboros ring on the ring finger of his right hand.
"A severely injured spirit that has not yet recovered..."
"Time series..."
"Hehe, interesting."
Su Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, subconsciously put his hand
behind his back, and at the same time boldly looked up and looked at the woman.
"What can I do for you, elder?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to kill you for a severely injured spirit."
