Chapter 161: Return
In the past month, a lot of things have really happened on the mainland, needless to say, the chaos in the north, but this has not affected the other three parties on the mainland, after all, the north has been blocked in advance.
Compared to the north, the rest of the mainland is much more stable, at least on the surface, it is difficult to say what it really looks like.
Just when they knew that the evil alliance had mainland undercover agents, the royal family actually chose to open the imperial city and invite qualified people to come to the imperial city to celebrate Jiang Xueyan's birthday, and the time was just a week later.
Not to mention the rest, the Lingyun Sect alone has sent four elders, without exception, all of them are Heaven Rank masters, and even the sect master who has seen the head and the end of the perennial Divine Dragon has said that he wants to participate in person.
Besides, the Nine Star Academy, who has just completed the reshuffle and has not yet fully stabilized, the two directors and ten students will come to participate, and among these ten students, Xu Yang is included.
During this time, Xu Yang did not have the influence of Chishenglu's personality, and his strength improved rapidly, and at this time, he had already reached the ninth level of the human rank, and if nothing else, he could refresh the record left by Ling Yunhao.
However, what is relatively rare is that this time it is not only the Nine Star Academy that has been invited, basically the top twenty colleges have all been invited by the royal family.
Sharp-eyed people can find that the configuration of these people is without exception, all of them are two management and ten students, which is estimated to be competing for the title of the first university in the mainland here.
There are also many major sects that have been invited, including the Flowing Shadow Sect, as the first sect in the East, this kind of big event, I still have to try to invite them.
If you don't invite them, the sect behind them naturally can't be invited, so won't there be no one to invite in the entire East? Oh, there is one, Luo Wenxiang.
This time, Luo Wenxiang also appeared in the imperial city as usual, in addition to the above expected people, there are also people who are unexpected, such as the people of the Baqi Sect.
If it had been before, they would never have been able to attend such a big occasion, but since the last megalithic incident, they have suddenly become famous.
It was not because there were too many people watching the excitement, but because the Lingyun Sect later negotiated with them and expressed their willingness to help them rebuild the sect and find out the real culprit, which caused them to become famous.
The royal family invited them this time, that is, to see the face of the Lingyun Sect, otherwise, a small sect like them had experienced a catastrophe, and even if the Lingyun Sect recovered with the help of the Lingyun Sect, it would be impossible to enter the imperial city.
In fact, to put it more bluntly, in every place Guo Chen has walked during this time, everyone he has seen, except for people from the north and the evil alliance, has almost been invited to this birthday party.
However, the protagonist of the banquet is not very happy, these days, she is like a marionette, she does whatever others tell her to do, and locks herself in the house when no one bothers her.
Now Jiang Ling and Ning Zhi have entered her room, but they haven't stayed for a long time, and no one else has entered, so no one knows what she is doing in the room every day.
"It's your birthday soon, don't be so unhappy, now the north is still in lockdown, doesn't it just mean that they are still alive?"
Jiang Ling was in her room at this time, and in his opinion, the blockade in the north had something to do with Guo Chen's designation, and since the blockade had not been lifted in the north, it at least proved that they were not in danger.
"But if he hadn't been in danger, why would the runes have disappeared, why would they not contact us for so long, and the north was blocked, and they couldn't get out. ”
Jiang Xueyan argued, but she still hoped that what Jiang Ling said was right, so in the second half of the sentence, her voice was so low that only she could hear it clearly.
At this time, it is possible for anyone to leave the imperial city, but she can't, a week later is her birthday party, as the protagonist, how can she leave.
"You don't have to worry about runes, Mr. Luo will also come on your birthday in a few days, he may also have runes on him, and we will see if there are any on him when the time comes." ”
It can be seen from the incident in the old city that their relationship with Luo Wenxiang is very good, and Luo Wenxiang should also leave runes on his body, and maybe Guo Chen can be contacted when the time comes.
"Even if the runes on his body disappear, it may be some kind of enchantment opened in the north that cuts off the connection between us, he won't have an accident, you can rest assured. ”
Jiang Ling once again said that Guo Chen would not have an accident, in his opinion, with the strength of those people around him, as well as their intelligence, even grinding can grind all the forces in the north to death.
Not to mention anything else, their escape skills are very good, each person kills a northerner every day, and occasionally comes to set fire to it, there is no problem at all.
Jiang Xueyan stopped talking, and followed Jiang Ling to the palace hall, where people had already arrived one after another, including the people from the Nine Star Academy, and naturally Xu Yang.
In addition to them, representatives of several academies also came, and there were hundreds of people in the palace hall at this time, Jiang Xueyan noticed Xu Yang for the first time, but she didn't go up to talk.
There are too many people here, if she goes up to talk to Xu Yang, it is equivalent to telling these people that Xu Yang is not simple, and it is equivalent to telling the people of the royal family that Xu Yang is also related to the Nightmare clan.
When she and Jiang Ling entered the main hall, Jiang Hanhai hadn't come yet, they just greeted each other symbolically, and finally sat down in their own place.
At the same time, among the Flowing Shadow Sect of the First Sect in the East of the Continent, the Sect Master and the elders had just set off for the Imperial City, and the defenses in the Flowing Shadow Sect were the emptiest at this time.
A person stood at the entrance of the secret room of the Library Pavilion, the blood robe on his body seemed so abrupt here, his left hand was thrown out, and the three people were released from the scroll realm.
This one wearing a blood robe is none other than Wang She, his current body is very good at stealth, and no one found out when he broke into the Flowing Shadow Sect, and it was of course Guo Chen and the three of them who were released from the volume realm.
However, Guan Ying's situation is really bad now, such a long-distance summoning, even if she has been promoted to the seventh level of the human level, she is really a little unbearable.
But she insisted on not wanting to stay in the volume realm, but wanted to come out with them, as for the reason, no one knew, and Guo Chen didn't have the heart to explore these.
"No, I've already seen it, all the external mechanisms are open, it should be locked inside, what should we do?"
If it was before, Wang She would definitely not ask this question, after all, they could directly contact the people inside through the runes, but not now, all the previous runes have been invalidated.
Now there are only three runes that are useful, just on Wang She, Guan Ying and Zhao Xue, except for the three of them, Guo Chen can't contact anyone now, including Ling Yunhao in the secret room.
"What else can I do, take the waterway, this time it will be hard for the two of us. ”
He said this with a wry smile, since there was no way to enter from here, he had to leave the hole where they had left the secret room.
And this time it can only be him and Wang She, so you can't let these two girls come, right?
With the same configuration as before, one end of the rope was tied to the volume boundary, so that they could successfully pass through the hole, and when they were ready, Wang She once again brought the three of them into the volume boundary.
If you want to say that the safest entrance to the waterway now, of course, is the waterhole near the back mountain, after all, there are the least people in the vicinity, but they can't go from there, they have to go in from the place where they came out last time.
Because Guo Chen only knew how to return to the secret room of the Library Pavilion from there, before entering the volume realm, he had already presented that memory to Wang She through illusion techniques, so they had to go to the retreat cultivation room.
Wang She's speed was still very powerful, and he soon rushed to the room where the well was located, but he didn't open the door rashly, but first released Guo Chen in the volume realm.
Now they are not sure if there is someone inside, even if the defense of the Flowing Shadow Sect is empty, it is also the first sect in the East, just a few of them, in case they are discovered, the chance of escape is still not great.
Before the two of them opened the door, the door had already been opened from the inside, which directly startled Guo Chen, and it was an ecstasy ghost finger that went up, and it was directly pointed on the forehead, and the power of the soul shock doubled.
Before the man could make a sound, he had already flown back, and the two of them rushed in at once, and at the same time had already closed the door, and in order to prevent accidents, he went up and made up again.
The infinite combo of ecstasy ghost fingers, Guo Chen performed it very well, and he didn't give him a chance to speak out at all, he had already knocked him unconscious, after all, these two fingers were all pointed on his forehead.
The power of the soul is usually stored in the brain, and the ecstasy ghost points at the forehead, and the impact on the soul is greater, and the effect of the soul concussion will naturally be doubled, and he will be knocked unconscious in two blows.
As a result, seeing this person's face clearly, Guo Chen almost laughed excitedly, they came back from the north this time, and it was estimated that they were going to be transferred, and it was Han Hao who fainted in front of him at this time.
This is just right, saving them the time to go to him deliberately, and now there is no one else here, they don't need to worry about being discovered at all, so Wang She included the two of them in the volume realm together.
He walked to the well on the side, looked at it, checked it again, and after making sure that there was no one, he jumped directly into the well, and began to move according to the route planned by Guo Chen in advance.
Before, Shen Xuan could use the Flowing Shadow Step underwater, of course he could, and his Flowing Shadow Step was much stronger than Shen Xuan's, after all, the level of spiritual power was there.
In this case, he completed nearly half of the journey in one go, and replaced Guo Chen halfway, his speed was not as fast as Wang She, and in the same way as before, the dagger borrowed power.
He only walked less than a fifth of the distance before he was replaced by Wang She again, and if nothing else, this time he should be able to reach the finish line directly.
In fact, Wang She soon saw a small hole, and according to what Guo Chen said before, he threw the scroll boundary to the opposite side of the cave and released him.
He came out of the volume realm, grabbed the rope connected to the volume realm for the first time, pulled the volume realm into his own hands, and reflexively included Wang She on the other side of the cave entrance into the volume realm.
After doing this, he immediately began to check the situation nearby, now that this place was completely flooded, through the spirit pupil, he could see the underwater scene clearly, this was indeed a secret room.
After confirming the location, he immediately swam in the direction of the stairs, the water here could only flood most of the underground secret room, and the stairs should not be submerged.
As he expected, only the lowest steps of the stairs were flooded, and the moment he poked his head out of the water, he saw something flying towards him quickly!
