Chapter 951: Falling Into a Trap

One of the leading guards shouted towards the top of the city: "Your Majesty is destined to have a fateful conversation with the champion of Jingguo in person! I hope that the champion will reward you with a visit to the palace!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The dignified leader of the Qing Kingdom actually invited others so politely.

Who is this person, who has such a great reputation?

Ling Xiao looked at Zhou Ran subconsciously and asked, "Friend, are you the champion of Jingguo?"

"Exactly." Zhou Ran said calmly.

Ling Xiao was immediately dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the person who helped him defend the city was actually a big shot in Jingguo who was less than ten thousand people.

Although Ling Xiao was far away in the hinterland of Qing Kingdom, he had also heard some rumors.

This champion prince led the Jingguo army to defeat the Qing army three times. He was a true hero. Such a hero actually appeared in Licheng.

"Marquis Champion, the leader of the Qing Kingdom has gone against the grain, causing the country to fall apart, and even the army is out of control. You better not go see the leader. If the leader is not good for you, you will have no regrets!" Ling Xiao said as a friend In the name of persuading.

Zhou Ran shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will still go."

With that said, Zhou Ran jumped lightly and came to the foot of the city wall.

The captain of the guard, Qingyuan, immediately saluted respectfully and said: "Champion, please mount your horse!"

"good!"

Zhou Ran got on a carriage, and the carriage, escorted by the guards, slowly headed towards the capital of the Qing Kingdom.

The capital of the country is not far from Licheng, the capital of the country. It is only a few dozen miles away. At the speed of a carriage, it will arrive in the morning and evening.

When Zhou Ran arrived at the capital of the Qing Kingdom, it was already evening. Zhou Ran admired the scenery in the capital with the faint light.

The capital of the Qing Kingdom did have more houses than Li City, and it was also more luxurious than Li City.

But the strange thing is that the capital is extremely quiet, and not a single sound can be heard.

Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Marquis Champion, please don't worry about it. The customs and laws of Qingguo and Jingguo are different. There will be a curfew when night falls. The citizens have already gone to bed, so it is naturally quite quiet."

"I see."

Zhou Ran smiled and didn't care.

The carriage drove into the Qing Palace. Zhou Ran got off the carriage and, led by Qing Yuan, came to the main hall of the palace.

Dongli, the leader of the Qing Kingdom, had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw Zhou Ran coming, Dongli immediately stepped back.

In the main hall, only Zhou Ran and Dong Li were left.

With a sad look on his face, Dong Li slowly walked up to Zhou Ran and said, "Marquis Champion, I take the liberty of inviting you here. I just want to ask you one question, why do you know my name?"

Zhou Ran didn't hide anything and said, "Your mother Donghua Immortal told me."

"My mother?" Dong Li was startled, his face full of sadness, "I didn't expect that she would still miss me after so many years of death."

Zhou Ran added: "I have a fate with Donghua Immortal. I saw the last trace of her soul in Fanyin Mountain. Before she disappeared into ashes, she specially asked me to find you and protect you and not let anyone bully you."

Zhou Ran's words made Dongli burst into tears.

"How can I have the nerve to see my mother now? I have fallen into darkness, and I have even given up the name Dongli. As the leader of the country, the people of the Qing Kingdom regard me as a devil. I am militaristic and have repeatedly used troops against neighboring countries. , but now everyone has rebelled, and even the army has lost control! Champion, please kill me, so that I can meet my mother!"

Dongli wanted to die, which moved Zhou Ran.

"Your mother wanted you to live;

It's not like letting you die! "Zhou Ran persuaded, "The prodigal son never comes back in exchange for gold. As long as you sincerely repent, everything will be done in time! "

"Am I really still saved?" Dong Li looked at Zhou Ran sincerely, "But my hands are already stained with blood. How can a person like this be qualified to live?"

"Don't worry, you and Qingguo will get better."

Zhou Ran took a step closer to Dongli.

He wanted to pat Dong Li on the shoulder, but he didn't want his feet to sink and he was actually sucked into the ground.

Only then did Zhou Ran realize that he had been fooled and that Dongli's sincere repentance was a lie. From the beginning, this guy had set a trap.

Zhou Ran was also quite familiar with the thing that sucked him in. It was the Taotie he had encountered before.

But this time, Taotie's power was even stronger. After he was sucked in, there was no room for resistance.

Taotie's mouth closed, and Dongli's sneer came from outside.

"You are too naive. How could I regret it so easily? Now that I have done these things, I have no intention of looking back! The same goes for the citizens of the capital. They have all become the food of the Taotie. Only in this way, the Taotie To be fully activated! Champion, as long as you die, Jingguo will no longer have a strong general, and the entire Jingguo will become my possession!"

Dong Li's words made Zhou Ran's face darken.

Taotie is the Shimen monster, and Dongli is actually able to summon Taotie's true form. There must be an ulterior secret between him and Shimen.

In order to activate Taotie, Dongli actually sacrificed all the people in the capital. The king had no mercy at all.

It seemed that Donghua Immortal's son was hopeless, and he would no longer have unrealistic illusions.

Trapped within Taotie's body, Zhou Ran felt powerful spiritual power. Taotie was worthy of being one of the four divine beasts. This spiritual power was suffocating.

Last time, Zhou Ran used a hypnotic spell to make Taotie yawn, and then he escaped.

This time, Zhou Ran planned to repeat his old tricks.

He cast a hypnotic spell, but it was useless. The beast remained tight-lipped and he could not escape at all.

"This is not good!"

Zhou Ran's face was gloomy and he began to think hard.

It was the real body of Taotie that trapped him, not the clone, so its digestion ability was much stronger than the clone.

He was at the peak of Hedao, but in the body of Taotie, he was afraid that he could not last half an hour. When the time came, he would be digested by the beast.

How to escape?

Zhou Ran thought of various methods in his mind, and he was ready to use them one by one.

At this moment, Zhou Ran suddenly heard a voice.

"Who are you?"

The voice was low and old, and Zhou Ran hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice.

But what he saw was not a person, but a ray of light.

"What is this?"

Zhou Ran was very curious. Why was there a ray of light in the body of Taotie?

Where did this light come from?

With doubt in his heart, Zhou Ran touched the light with his hand, and his consciousness was actually sucked into the light. .

When Zhou Ran opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him had changed.

He was no longer in the dark body of the beast, but was bathed in the sun, which was warm and felt particularly comfortable when shining on his body.
