Chapter 1608

Three days later, one morning, the sun gently sprinkled on the stone road of the town.

Huo Jilin was sitting in his courtyard, quietly flipping through an ancient book.

At this time, a strange middle-aged man stepped into the courtyard.

The man's name was Liu Xipeng. He was wearing a gray gown, his face was a little tired, but his eyes were firm and eager.

He looked around, saw Huo Jilin, and walked up quickly.

"Mr. Huo, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I came to visit you today." Liu Xipeng bowed slightly and said respectfully.

Huo Jilin put down the book in his hand, stood up to return the greeting, and asked with a smile: "I wonder what you are looking for me for?"

Liu Xipeng sighed and said: "Mr. Huo, to be honest, I came here this time, hoping that you can help Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan."

Huo Jilin frowned slightly and motioned Liu Xipeng to continue.

Liu Xipeng continued, "Longfeng City, three hundred miles away, is now shrouded by evil forces.

There are many bullies there, such as some profit-seeking antique dealers, and those who set up casinos and harmed the people.

They were not so vicious originally, but for some reason, they were all affected by a mysterious dark crystal power and completely turned into bad people, doing all kinds of evil."

When Huo Jilin heard this, he couldn't help but feel indignant, and he clenched his fists.

Liu Xipeng continued, "Moreover, the power of this dark crystal not only eroded Longfeng City, but also many nearby places.

The people are miserable and living in dire straits."

Huo Jilin pondered for a moment and said, "The power of this dark crystal is so evil that it is really outrageous."

Liu Xipeng looked at Huo Jilin expectantly and said, "Mr. Huo, I heard that you have the power of mysterious magic and will definitely help us get rid of this disaster."

Huo Jilin's eyes were firm and he said, "In this case, I, Huo Jilin, have no choice but to discuss this matter with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan."

Liu Xipeng nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."

Huo Jilin immediately sent someone to invite Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. Not long after, the two hurried over.

Before Hu Bayi stood firm, he asked anxiously, "Old Huo, why did you call us here so urgently?"

Huo Jilin told the two of them in detail what Liu Xipeng had said.

Wang Kaixuan slammed the table and said, "This is unacceptable! We can't just sit back and watch."

Hu Bayi also nodded and said, "That's right, we can't let this dark crystal continue to do evil."

Huo Jilin was relieved to see the two people's firm attitude, and said, "Okay, then let's get ready to set off to Longfeng City to punish evil and promote good!"

So, the three began to pack their luggage and prepare to embark on this dangerous journey.

While Huo Jilin was sorting out the magic tools, he thought to himself, "I don't know how powerful this dark crystal is. I must be careful this time."

Hu Bayi checked his equipment and muttered to himself, "No matter what we encounter, we can't retreat."

Wang Kaixuan stuffed his backpack bulging, muttering, "Humph, let those bullies taste our power."

After getting ready, the three of them set off with Liu Xipeng and headed towards Longfeng City.

Along the way, they kept going, their hearts full of pursuit of justice and concern for the people.

Huh!

The four of them traveled day and night, and finally approached Longfeng City two days later.

Approaching the city gate, Liu Xipeng said solemnly: "Everyone, be extra careful when entering this city."

Hu Bayi patted Liu Xipeng on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, we know what to do."

Walking into Longfeng City, the streets were filled with a depressing atmosphere. Pedestrians hurried and looked terrified.

Wang Kaixuan frowned and said: "This place feels very evil."

Huo Jilin nodded slightly, and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, an old man accidentally bumped into a bully. The bully kicked the old man to the ground without saying a word.

Hu Bayi shouted angrily: "How dare you bully me in broad daylight!"

The bully turned his head and stared at Hu Bayi fiercely: "Where did you come from, you ignorant thing, to meddle in my business!"

Wang Kaixuan rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Huo Jilin: "Don't be impulsive, see what's going on."

The bully saw that they were afraid and became more arrogant: "Get out of here if you know what's good for you, or you'll be in trouble!"

Huo Jilin stepped forward and said: "You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The bully laughed: "Retribution? In Longfeng City, I am the king of the law!"

Just then, a team of patrolling guards came over. The bully immediately changed his face and stepped forward to please.

Hu Bayi lowered his head ...Hu Bayi said, "It seems that these guards and bullies are in the same group." Huo Jilin said, "Let's find a place to stay first and make a long-term plan." They found an inn and just sat down when the waiter came over nervously and said, "Dear guests, be careful in this city." Wang Kaixuan asked, "What's going on in this city?" The waiter lowered his voice and said, "The collusion between those bullies and officials has made it impossible for the common people to survive. And the mysterious dark crystal is said to be in the city lord's mansion and is heavily protected." Hu Bayi said, "It seems that to solve the problem, we must start with the city lord's mansion." Huo Jilin nodded in agreement, "But we can't act rashly. We must first find out the situation." At night, Huo Jilin decided to go out alone to investigate. He carefully shuttled through the streets and alleys and came to the outside of the city lord's mansion. Seeing that the mansion was heavily guarded, he used magic to sneak in. Inside the mansion, a quarrel came from a room. "Although the power of this dark crystal is strong, we can't be so reckless. Sooner or later, something will happen!" said a voice.

"What are you afraid of? With this power, who can do anything to us?" another voice retorted.

Huo Jilin quietly approached, trying to hear more clearly.

Suddenly, a vicious dog barked in his direction.

"Who is it!" The guards became alert.

Huo Jilin quickly fled and returned to the inn.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan saw him coming back and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Huo Jilin told them what he saw and heard.

Wang Kaixuan said angrily, "These guys are simply crazy!"

Hu Bayi thought for a moment and said, "We have to find a way to snatch the dark crystal and destroy it."

Huo Jilin said, "But it will definitely not be easy. We need a careful plan."

The next day, they continued to collect intelligence in the city.

A child ran over and said to them, "I know some secrets about the Dark Crystal."

Huo Jilin squatted down and asked gently, "Little friend, tell us quickly."

The child whispered, "I heard from my father that the power of the Dark Crystal will weaken every full moon night."

Huo Jilin and others looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.

The full moon night soon arrived, and they took advantage of the night to sneak into the city lord's mansion again.

Along the way, they cleverly avoided the patrolling guards.
