42: The disappearance of the man in black

Blood Poison Town is located in the far north of the continent. To get there from the Magic Empire, one must pass through the Lingshu Kingdom, and the only city connecting the Magic Empire to the Lingshu Kingdom is Kela City.

The city lord of Kela City is Jian, an Intermediate Magician. When Yuri was taking control of small cities across the continent, he bypassed this man because Huang Yichen had not yet increased his strength at that time.

"Let's go, take the helicopter!" Wei He finished speaking and walked out.

Meanwhile, Huang Yichen crashed directly through the roof and flew into the air.

"Too much of a hurry, I forgot you could fly!" After complaining, Wei He said to Andrew, "My friend is in danger, do you want to come along?"

"Okay! I'll go!" Thinking of how Wei He had just helped him, Andrew answered without hesitation.

"Mm, let's go!" As soon as Wei He finished speaking, the night hawk helicopter landed in front of everyone.

Seeing a helicopter for the first time, Andrew raised his hands to shield his face, looking at this big iron bird with both fear and curiosity.

Wei He ignored him and opened the cabin door to enter. Seeing Wei He go in, Andrew followed, and then several Bozi Youning also entered.

The night hawk helicopter took off and began flying toward Kela City.

Flying for the first time, Andrew fearfully held onto the cabin door while looking at the moon outside and the scattered points of light on the ground.

"Deploy the Rocket Troopers and Chrono Legionnaires to Kela City!" Wei He said to the red alert screen.

"As you command, Commander!" The system's mechanical voice made Andrew look around; there was no one else there, and he didn't know who was speaking.

Soon, the night hawk helicopter arrived at Kela City. However, the city gates were already closed. They had no choice but to risk discovery and land directly in the city square. Fortunately, no one was there.

"How do we find them in such a big city?" Andrew asked in confusion, looking at the vast town.

"Go to the north gate. To go to the Lingshu Kingdom, one must use the north gate!" Wei He said as he walked toward the street.

"This is inside the city, there will be a curfew!" Andrew reminded Wei He.

Hearing this, Wei He immediately ordered Ravich to think of a way. However, Ravich was only a military Commander and had no authority over the soldiers of a major border town; moreover, going there himself would raise suspicions of forming a private clique.

"There's no other way. When the gate opens tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, we'll use force. It's just an Intermediate Magician!" Wei He said with a determined look.

Meanwhile, all the small cities controlled by Wei He also began investigating. Even if that person took Linlin and managed to pass through Kela City, they wouldn't get past the Lingshu Kingdom.

The next morning, as soon as the north gate opened, people from both sides swarmed through—some doing business, others rushing to work.

Wei He's group surrounded the woman from the theater, making her keep a constant watch. Having witnessed Wei He's cruel methods, she focused intently, fearing she might let someone slip away.

Time passed minute by minute. Finally, a carriage appeared with a man dressed entirely in black sitting on it, holding the reins.

"It's him, it's him!" the woman said with a joyful smile, her eyes curving.

Seeing the man stopped by the soldiers at the gate, Wei He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dressed so suspiciously, he'll be exposed even without us doing anything!"

The woman from the theater rolled her eyes at Wei He but didn't dare say anything. Facts proved Wei He was still too young.

The man took out an exquisite booklet while being questioned. The soldier took a look and immediately let him pass.

"What the... no way! Go, follow him quickly!" While shocked, Wei He quickly headed toward the city gate.

"Wait, anyone passing through the gate must be inspected!" a bearded soldier shouted impatiently.

"Do it!" Wei He's patience was exhausted; he would no longer tolerate people with such double standards.

Several Bozi Youning began strafing the soldiers. Others didn't know what was happening; they only heard the sound of gunshots and saw the gate soldiers suddenly collapse with bloody holes all over. For a moment, the crowd panicked and began to scatter.

A large number of soldiers on the city wall were also running down to check the situation.

"Go, charge out!" Seeing the man in black driving the carriage further away, Wei He couldn't care about anything else.

Huang Yichen flew directly onto the city wall and kicked a Beginner Magician who didn't have time to activate his magic. The unlucky Beginner Magician was drinking tea one second and met the King of Hell the next.

While Huang Yichen crushed another soldier's head, a group of people flying in the sky with strange weapons opened fire on the soldiers on the wall—it was the Rocket Troopers.

In less than five minutes, the hundreds of soldiers on the wall were slaughtered. Blood flowed down the cracks in the wall, onto the street, and under people's feet.

Seeing that all the guarding soldiers were dealt with, Wei He and the others rushed to catch up with the man in black.

At this moment, the man in black sat motionless on the carriage, and the carriage stayed there motionless, even in a running posture.

Two blue rays controlled the man in black and the horse respectively. When Wei He was about to open the carriage to check the situation, he found he could see the carriage but couldn't touch it.

It turned out that the Chrono Legionnaire's Chrono-Erase Gun also controlled the carriage. The carriage, like the man and horse in front, was enveloped in a faint layer of blue ripples.

"Cease fire!" Wei He immediately ordered, and the Chrono Legionnaire retracted the Chrono-Erase Gun upon hearing the command.

The blue ripples on the carriage and the man in black faded and dispersed, and finally, they returned to their original state.

Seeing so many strange people staring at him, the man in black immediately drove away to continue his escape. He had just realized how terrifying these people were.

"Fire!" As soon as Wei He's voice sounded, the Rocket Troopers chased after him. With the sound of gunshots, the horse was hit several times and collapsed struggling. The carriage lost control and overturned by the road, and Linlin fell out.

Seeing he could not escape, the man in black charged at Wei He and the others. Before he could reach Wei He, he was pinned to the ground by the Chrono Legionnaire's blue ray, blue ripples enveloping his body.

Wei He didn't have time to worry about him and rushed to Linlin's side. As it turned out, she was still sleeping, unsure if she had never woken up or had been knocked unconscious by the fall.

Watching the man in black's body slowly blur and become transparent, he finally vanished completely from the spot, as if he had never existed.

Just as Wei He thought it was all over, a group of soldiers chased out from the city gate.

"Quick, quick, quick, surround them all! Don't let a single person escape!" A man in official robes said arrogantly while riding a horse.

Later, there was also a young man in magic robes, riding a horse, leisurely walking along.

A group of soldiers had just surrounded Wei He and the others when they were directly shot by the Rocket Troopers and Bozi Youning.

More than half of the group was killed or injured instantly, and they retreated. The man in official robes just now had many bloody holes in his chest, spat blood, and collapsed.

"All of you step back, let me!" The leisurely young man in the back walked out, enveloped in a Magic Shield.

"Who are you? Why did you kill my soldiers? If you kill my soldiers, you must pay with your lives!" the young man said with a lazy expression.

"I am Wei He, the Commander of these people. I ordered them to kill your soldiers. I was desperate to save someone, but your soldiers oppressed the people and extorted them; they deserved to die!" After six months on this continent, Wei He had undergone some changes.
