Chapter 172 The Only Way
The next morning, Xiao Ting and Xing'er had breakfast and said, "Xing'er, I'm going to the palace to discuss something with King Yan. Just wait for me here, okay?"
Hearing this, Xing'er's expression instantly became tense and she said, "Brother Ting, are you leaving again for something? How long will you be leaving this time?"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "I'm just going to ask King Yan to do a small favor and I'll be back in a while. Don't worry, Xing'er, I will take you with me wherever I go from now on."
Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief and nodded firmly.
Xiao Ting thought for a while and said to Xing'er: "When I'm not around, let her stay with you."
After Xiao Ting said that, he summoned the cute baby from the Soul Locking Hall.
Xing'er looked at the cute panda that suddenly appeared on the ground. He cheered, ran over and knelt down, looked at it intently, and asked: "Brother Ting, what is this? It's so cute!"
"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "It's called Mengbao. It's an iron-eating beast, also called a panda."
"Cute baby, such a cute name!"
Xing'er smiled and lowered his head, looking at the little guy who was a little confused about the situation, and said: "Hello, cute baby, my name is Xing'er."
The cute baby raised his head when he heard the words, as if he understood Xing'er's words, he chirped a few times, and stretched out his two little paws, as if he wanted to hug Xing'er.
Xing'er squinted her eyes happily, stretched out her hands, and held the cute baby in her arms.
Feeling the cute baby's plump body and its soft touch, Xing'er said excitedly to Xiao Ting: "Brother Ting, the cute baby is not afraid of me at all! Look, it actually lets me hug...
…”
Suddenly, Xing'er felt something was wrong. How could he touch the cute baby's body? Shouldn't he be able to touch living things?
Xiao Ting on the side was also stunned. He originally just released the cute baby and thought about letting it play with Xing'er. But he didn't expect that this cute baby could break through the three-foot god curse and be so close to Xing'er? What is going on?
?
At this time, the sound of locks sounded in Xiao Ting's mind.
"According to legend, the iron-eating beast is the patron saint beast of the Luo Shen tribe. It seems that this legend is true. Only in this way can we explain why this little guy can ignore the three-foot god's curse and do what he did with Xing'er
Intimate contact.”
I see.
Xiao Ting nodded, looked at Xing'er who looked surprised and curious, and said softly: "Xing'er, do you like this little guy?"
Xing'er hugged the cute baby tightly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I like it!"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "Then let the cute baby play with you. My brother is going to the palace. You and the cute baby should be good."
Xing'er nodded and said: "I know! Brother Ting, you have to come back soon."
After that, Xing'er hugged the cute baby who was chirping and left the room.
While walking, Xing'er chatted with the cute baby: "Cute baby, can I take you to eat my favorite osmanthus cake? This was given to me by my sister Chu Yao. It's so sweet...
"
After watching Xing'er leave with a smile, Xiao Ting gathered his energy and went to the palace to meet King Yan.
Inside the royal study.
Xiao Ting first inquired about the condition of Prince Yan Xun. King Yan smiled and said: "Xun'er is recovering well. According to what the imperial doctor said, he should be able to wake up in a day or two!"
Later, King Yan said again: "I would also like to thank you for your hard work in finding the antidote for Xun'er and saving his life. If you need anything, I will try my best to help you."
Xiao Ting stood up and cupped his hands and said: "To be fair to King Yan, Ting Xiao really has something to do. I hope King Yan can help."
King Yan smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter!"
Xiao Ting considered it carefully and said, "I wonder, King Yan, have you ever heard of an evil organization in South Korea called Dark Hand?"
King Yan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Why do you ask this?"
Xiao Ting felt happy, it seemed that King Yan knew something, otherwise he would not have asked this question.
Xiao Ting cupped his hands and said: "King Yan should know that South Korea and Jiang Guo are in an alliance on the surface, but we all know well that South Korea has probably become Jiang's puppet. So Ting Xiao's trip is not only to make peace with Yan
The National Alliance came here to investigate the reality of South Korea and make plans for the future decisive battle. And I heard that South Korea’s secret hand is the largest organizational group secretly controlled by the royal family, so I asked this question. "
King Yan relaxed and nodded: "I see, I thought you were going to use the power of the Dark Hand to do something. That is an extremely evil force that does all kinds of evil. If it hadn't been in South Korea, I would have wanted to do it long ago.
Destroy it!"
After thinking for a while, King Yan continued: "It is rumored that more than 150 years ago, the leader of this organization was named Di Shang, who was known as the Human Slaughterer. And the secret hand organization led by him burned, killed, looted, and sold young female slaves.
It can be said that he does all kinds of evil for providing people with pleasure. In addition, he has the support of the royal family behind him, which makes him run rampant and domineering. No one in Korea dares to provoke him. However, after the imperial merchant went crazy and the killing that shocked the world, Korea
Under the pressure of the people across the country, the secret hands were suppressed and killed, and this evil organization gradually faded out of people's sight. However, a centipede will never die. Over the years, there are still rumors of this organization.
A huge scandal was committed.”
Xiao Ting nodded and said: "Do you know, King Yan, who is the current leader of this secret hand organization? What is its strength? Where is its lair?"
King Yan smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that because the fifth prince of South Korea suddenly rose up and took over the throne, I suspected that he might have relied on the power of this secret organization, so he sent people to investigate. In this way.
Well, the day after tomorrow at the latest, General Gu will summarize the results of the investigation and send someone to deliver them to you, how about that?"
Xiao Ting was overjoyed when he heard this. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, King Yan!"
It has to be said that King Yan acted decisively, and two days was said to be two days. When Xiao Ting got the summary file sent by King Yan, and after looking at the countless evil deeds of the secret organization recorded on the paper,
Even with Xiao Ting's temperament, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Ting closed the file, calmed down, and then said: "Such an evil organization that cannot be tolerated by nature, South Korea can tolerate it to this day! If this evil is not eliminated, nature cannot tolerate it!"
After putting away the files, Xiao Ting immediately went into the palace and asked King Yan to resign, and headed towards South Korea with Xing'er.
Along the way, Xiao Ting and Xing'er visited the mountains and rivers, and were not in too much of a hurry, so it took them nearly a month to get to South Korea and go to the border.
In this month, Xing'er played with the cute baby almost every day. The little guy has grown to the size of an ordinary little puppy. Every time I see Xing'er wearing a purple princess dress holding the chubby cute baby.
, walking in front of him, Xiao Ting felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
In addition to the purple bamboo fed to it by Xiao Ting, the cute baby also eats everything else. Whatever Xing'er likes to eat, Xing'er will give some to the cute baby, which can be said to be the ultimate doting on it.
In this way, the two people and the beast walked and stopped all the way to the junction of South Korea and the Yan Kingdom: Boundary City.
A city will be built on the border between Cangjie countries, which is also called a boundary city. The boundary city is jointly managed by the two bordering countries. It is relatively loose and the personnel are relatively mixed.
According to the file handed over to him by the King of Yan, a stronghold of the secret hand organization was marked in the border city between South Korea and the Yan Kingdom.
According to the file, at its peak, the Dark Hand organization had eight strongholds and one headquarters, and the organization had a clear hierarchy. However, after the death of Emperor Shang and the suppression of the royal family, the gang shrunk by half.
More than enough, only three strongholds and the main altar still exist.
In the evening, after Xiao Ting had dinner with Xing'er, he and Xing'er walked around the boundary city. After Xing'er fell asleep with his cute baby in his arms, Xiao Ting gently closed the door and headed outside the boundary city.
go.
In the eastern suburbs outside the boundary city, there is a Yinhun Ridge. It is said that evil spirits are haunted here. People who approach the ridge rashly will disappear inexplicably. Over time, this place has become a forbidden place in the boundary city, which is passed down from word to mouth.
Not to mention night, no one wants to set foot here even during the day.
According to the records obtained by Xiao Ting, this is where one of the Dark Hand's strongholds is located.
At this moment, Xiao Ting was standing in the void with an indifferent expression, staring at a cave a thousand meters away.
This cave was obviously man-made. The entire mountain was hollowed out and built into a long-term stronghold for the Dark Hand. At this moment, the cave was brightly lit, with all kinds of people coming in and out, and it seemed that a process was going on.
A party.
After entering the True Emperor Realm, Xiao Ting's eyesight and hearing were able to hear and see the movements of ordinary people ten miles away, let alone a mere thousand meters away.
However, Xiao Ting's face was ashen at this moment, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Because in his eyes, wherever there is a human stronghold here, it is clearly a sinister hell!
There are different prisons in the caves that are connected to each other. In these prisons, various people are imprisoned, including skinny old people, children under ten years old, and strong men with bruises, but most of them are
Women over fifteen years old.
Most of these women were naked and had empty eyes, and some were even covered in bruises and bloodstains.
In some caves, there are killers from the Dark Hand organization committing crimes, and the sound of women's wails and the sound of whips and irons touching flesh can be heard everywhere.
Xiao Ting closed his eyes, and veins popped up on his forehead. He took a deep breath, secretly glad that he did not bring Xing'er with him. If Xing'er saw this rebellious scene, it would probably leave a mark on her simple and kind heart.
An indelible shadow for life.
After adjusting his breathing, Xiao Ting opened his eyes again. His eyes had calmed down, but instead, there was cold murderous aura emanating from his whole body.
Such a place should not exist in the world. Although it is not possible to directly destroy the dark hand organization's home base, it is not bad to destroy one of its strongholds. It can be considered as recovering some interest in advance!
Xiao Ting holds the unsheathed divine sword in his right hand, emitting a faint black light in the moonless night.
Xiao Ting's body slowly rose into the air, holding the divine sword high above his head. Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to converge towards the divine sword in his hand. In one breath, a huge shadow of the divine sword took shape behind Xiao Ting. , Xiao Ting's eyes narrowed, and he shouted softly: "Go! The Eight God-Slaying Swords to Slay the Dragon!"
