Although Jiang Hanhai is really not good at commanding wars, he is still very good at governing the country, and after he succeeded to the throne, the development of the imperial family was extremely rapid.

More than twenty years ago, the imperial family was still being crushed by the Lingyun Sect, after all, cultivators were inherently better than ordinary people, and they were excellent in all aspects.

The first thing Jiang Hanhai did after inheriting the throne was to abolish the long-standing rule of the imperial family, "cultivators are not allowed to participate in any competition for positions in the imperial family".

And greatly improved the treatment of cultivators in the imperial family, the most intuitive thing is to promote Ning Yuan, who could not enter the imperial family because of his identity and could only be a small officer, to a status second only to himself.

This move directly attracted the attention of the Nine Star Academy, and began to negotiate cooperation with the royal family, and then the benefits of graduation from the Nine Star Academy changed.

From "you can enter the Lingyun Sect unconditionally" to "you can unconditionally choose to join the Lingyun Sect or the royal family".

With the influx of a large number of talents, the strength of the royal family has become stronger and stronger, and now it has truly had the capital on a par with the Lingyun Sect.

And the birth of Jiang Ling and Jiang Xueyan, two genius brothers and sisters, made the royal family see the opportunity to surpass the Lingyun Sect, the two are not only talented, but also extremely talented in cultivation.

Jiang Ling asked Ning Zhi to do something, but his eyes fell on Guo Chen again, and said, "You were a fantasy skill just now?"

"Yes, I think you should have said that there is a master of illusion skills in the old city, and he will only use illusion skills on me when I released my body just now. ”

Guo Chen had already roughly guessed what the reason was, at that time in the old city, most of the people who knew that he was proficient in illusion skills were in the underground ancient ruins, and there were only three people left.

That is Luo Wenxiang, Ning Zhi and Jiang Ling, Luo Wenxiang cooperated with them, of course he would not take the initiative to say this matter, Ning Zhi's brain, it is estimated that he could not think of it, only he could say this matter.

"Yes, that's what I said, if I don't say that, the mood of the residents of the old city will not be stable, and if they are in chaos, the people of the evil alliance will have a chance to escape. ”

Jiang Ling didn't think that he had done anything wrong, if he could sacrifice Guo Chen and a few of them and take the lives of so many people in the evil alliance, he would be very happy to exchange.

Of course, this was because he didn't know that Jiang Xueyan was also with them, if he knew this in advance, he would definitely consider other ways first, and he would do this if he couldn't do it.

Guo Chen didn't speak, he also knew Jiang Ling's character, after all, in his eyes, there were only two people who could threaten him, Jiang Ling and Cao Pu.

Since the last time he left the secret realm of Lin Island, he has been investigating the two of them, both of whom are suspicious by nature, and their brains are still very good, they are rare geniuses.

Especially Jiang Ling, who was not even inferior to him with the increase in the pupil of nightmares, how could he not pay attention to it, since his brain power was equal, then it was possible for him to see through his arrangement.

In front of Jiang Ling, he felt that it was better not to say too much, otherwise he would easily be caught by him.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Ling chose to change the topic and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you for saving my sister, I wonder if we can find a chance to talk about it?"

"That's not necessary, now that such a big thing has happened in the old city, it's better to deal with things here first, what do you think?"

Then how could he agree, he didn't want to talk to Jiang Ling at all now, because not long ago, Jiang Xueyan had already told Jiang Ling that he was still suspicious of them.

It's just that Jiang Xueyan didn't know that it wasn't long ago that Jiang Ling was no longer very suspicious of them, and speaking of which, it was her credit.

"Okay, then let's deal with the affairs of the old city first, and then we can have a good chat when the wedding banquet begins, can you tell which one is from the evil alliance?"

Gangneung also remembered after listening to his words that the matter of the old city has not been resolved yet, and it seems that it is not the time to talk about other things.

"Except for the person who used his magic skills on me just now, there are no undercover agents in the square, and there are still a few injured in the old city, I'll take you to find them. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, who had been sitting on the ground, and Jiang Ling, who was squatting beside him, also stood up, said a word to the four elders of the Lingyun Sect, and left with him.

"The Fourth Elder of the Little Soul Cloud Sect, he is not a member of the Evil Alliance, but the purpose of coming here is not pure. ”

Not long after the two of them walked out, Jiang Ling's voice sounded in his ears, but Jiang Ling didn't make any movement, and at this time, any reaction was superfluous.

Shen Xuan said to the others and followed, and when Jiang Ling looked back at him, Guo Chen took the opportunity to leave him a rune, which could allow them to communicate well.

"Inject spiritual power into your left eye, you can talk to me, if you have anything to say, it's better to say it quickly, the situation in the old city is very complicated now. ”

Before Jiang Ling came back to his senses, he heard such a sentence, which was also performed by Guo Chen using illusion techniques, and then he tentatively injected a little spiritual power.

"So, is his purpose the same as that of the Cult?"

Ever since the evil alliance caused a commotion, he has been thinking about a question, what is their purpose, so far, it is ordinary citizens who have died!

To say that the evil alliance sent dozens of people over, just to kill an ordinary citizen, let alone Jiangling, Ning Zhi would not believe it.

"I'm not sure about this yet, do you know anything called a spirit hammer?"

If Jiang Ling knew what the Spirit Machine Hammer was, it meant that the people of the Spirit Cloud Sect would also know it, and then there was a high probability that his purpose would be consistent with the evil alliance.

But if he didn't know, it meant that the royal family didn't know, and it was very likely that only the people of the evil alliance knew about it, so the purpose of these four elders should be different from theirs.

"The Spirit Hammer, I know, is a special spirit weapon created in the north, beyond the epic level, close to the legendary level, it is said that the Nightmare Clan once left a message on it that is enough to rewrite the pattern of the continent. ”

Jiang Ling passed such a passage to Guo Chen, and the purpose of the evil alliance was already obvious, and it was estimated that the purpose of the four elders of the Lingyun Sect was the same as that of the evil alliance.

"If this thing appeared in the old city, it would be impossible for the evil alliance to send dozens of people to come and rob it, and let the four elders of the Lingyun Sect want to interfere?"

Although he had basically seen through their purpose, he was not sure, so he asked such a question, and then received an affirmative answer.

"So, there really is a Spiritual Hammer in the old city now, do you know where it is?"

Although Jiang Ling didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of these words was already obvious, not only the Lingyun Sect, but also the royal family wanted to intervene!

"I don't know where that thing is now, but I want to ask what the Nightmare Clan has recorded on it, it must be important, right?"

Next is the time for the routine, a spiritual weapon that is not at the legendary level, the evil alliance sends dozens of people to seize it in front of so many big sects, it is definitely not worth it.

Then there must be something wrong with the things recorded on the Spirit Hammer, and the Nightmare Clan recorded the news on it, and it is understandable that it has the breath of the Nightmare Clan on it.

"There are a total of eighteen spiritual hammers, twelve of them are in the north, one is in the Lingyun Sect, and the remaining five are missing, and the one in the Lingyun Sect has deciphered very important information. ”

Hearing Jiang Ling's words, he had already begun to beat the drum in his heart, in case there was any information recorded on it that was easy for them to expose, it would be difficult.

However, the information is incomplete, and the final interpretation means that there will be a crisis on the mainland, and the specific time and what happened may be recorded in the other five handles. ”

Then Jiang Ling's next sentence reassured him, since it was a record of the mainland's disaster, it must be that the Nightmare clan had reappeared again and began to oppose all parties on the mainland.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, if this was a disaster recorded by the Nightmare Clan, then it could not have been launched by them themselves, it was possible that the continent had jointly crusaded against them.

That's not right, if it's a record that the continent will join forces to fight, it shouldn't be recorded on the Spirit Hammer, because the Spirit Machine Hammer only flowed out after the Nightmare Clan was abolished.

If it weren't for this incident, then it would definitely be a disaster for the entire continent, and it would be possible that it was one person who forged the eighteen spiritual hammers and built the ancient ruins underground.

This was a bold assumption he had made, and if the purpose of the hammer was to record the catastrophe that would occur in a thousand years, it would have been very reasonable.

No one knows when this hammer was cast, because twenty years ago there were eighteen gifted warriors in the north, and the hammer happened to have eighteen handles.

What's more coincidental is that it was the first time that the Spirit Machine Hammer appeared in front of everyone on the mainland, so I had a preconceived idea that it was cast twenty years ago.

But if you think about it, there is no evidence to prove this, and the northerners have never communicated with the outside royal family, so not many people really know the specific casting time of this thing.

Now his brain was in a mess, and after sorting it out a bit, he had made a similar inference that a thousand years ago, a strong and terrible person appeared in the Nightmare Clan.

He made thousands of prophecies that spanned thousands of years, built underground ruins, carved some information that was not very important on the walls, and left the information about the catastrophe on the continent on the spiritual hammer.

And this number is the same as the number of wizards that will appear in the north in a thousand years, and as for the information engraved on it, it should be the six handles that circulate on the continent.

As for how he knew which six handles would be passed down after a thousand years, the reason is very simple, people play with prediction as if they were eating, which is not surprising.

If that's the case, he's going to cry, what's going on, and the feelings are really crossing over to save the world?

The prophecy made thousands of years ago, which flowed out twenty years ago, has not happened yet, so it is estimated that it is waiting for itself, and it is estimated that this catastrophe will break out soon.

"Well, it looks like they're here for this Hammer, but now our top priority is to deal with the people of the Evil Alliance, and we'll talk about these things in a few days. ”

After speaking, he took Gangneung to a house, pushed the door in, and saw many injured people of the evil alliance, but they were all wounded souls.

"Okay, Shen Xuan, they will be handed over to you to deal with, remember to leave a word, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

With that, he retrieved the mark left on Gangneung's body, turned around and walked in the direction of the auction house, now desperate to know what was going to happen.

If there was one place that could tell him the answer, it must be the ancient ruins under the auction house, but he had not walked far when he heard a loud noise.

Looking up, the tall building standing in the middle of the old city was slowly falling, and seeing this scene, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
