Chapter 343, Chaos at the Birthday Banquet
The city lord's birthday is a very special day in Wanyuan City. Every year today, the various merchants and tyrants of Wanyuan City will try their best to pay tribute to the city lord of Wanyuan City with some strange items. If they can get the appreciation of the city lord, then in the next year, their merchants' taxes can be reduced by half, and even Ha has been completely exempted from taxes. For them, this is a lot of magic stones.
It's just that this year's birthday is different from previous years, this year is the eight-hundredth birthday of Wanyuan City City Lord Wanlikong. Since he became the lord of the city, every 100th birthday, he will hold a competition between young heavenly demons under the age of 100. The winner will receive a great prize. The rewards are different every time, but each prize is precious. The prize of the last session was a mid-level prefecture-level spell that could only be cultivated during the Jindan period. And this time it was a Neck-Breaking Pill, and having this pill could help the Jindan Stage Monk increase the success rate of the fifth layer when he attacked the Yuan Infant. The fifth floor is already very terrifying, and it can almost be said that the breakthrough is an ironclad thing.
This elixir Li Xiao can also refine, knowing that the materials needed are very precious and too rare. In addition, he never needed an elixir to break through, so he didn't collect this material.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted countless young heavenly demons to flock to it. Due to the large number of people who signed up, a week before the big birthday, hundreds of rings had been set up outside Wanyuan City for the selection competition. After a week of competition, the top four were finally selected, and they will compete in the arena in the City Lord's Mansion on the day of the Great Birthday of the City Lord of Wanyuan City.
In the past three days of the city lord's birthday, all the homes in the entire Wanyuan City have been lit up with lights, and they are full of joy. In addition to the fact that this is the request of the castle lord, there is another main reason. All the restaurants in the entire Wanyuan City were chartered by the city lord, and all the people of Wanyuan City were invited to feast, whether they were heavenly demons or demons, whether they were dignitaries or beggars, they could eat for free in each restaurant. This was the case for three days in a row. This also makes these three days a festival for everyone in Wanyuan City.
On the day of the city lord's birthday, from the morning, guests from all walks of life began to enter the city lord's mansion in an endless stream. There are almost no simple ones who can enter the city lord's mansion, and the one with the lowest strength has also reached the Jindan stage. Especially at ten o'clock in the evening, one by one the monks of the infant period began to appear. Among them, in addition to the bigwigs of all the forces in the city, there are also strong people from all sides in the surrounding big cities who are friendly with the city lords.
Until before dinner, all the guests arrived, among which there were hundreds of monks in the Jindan stage, and there were more than 20 old monsters in the Yuan Infant stage. With so many powerhouses, almost most of the Heavenly Demon Cultivators above the Golden Pill Stage around them gathered. With so many strong people, Li Xiao began to hesitate a little, whether he should make a move today, in case something goes wrong, then the fun will be really great. Once you don't run out of the City Lord's Mansion in time, then you really have to explain here.
However, Li Xiao finally chose to take a look, after all, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, when the dinner was over and everyone gathered in the martial arts arena to watch the final game, Li Xiao quietly touched around the outer wall of the City Lord's Mansion. To be on the safe side, he still used the previous method to attack the west. But when he had just buried an activation formation and had not yet reached the next target point, he suddenly found that there were other people around the second target point he was going to.
If it was just someone who suddenly passed by, Li Xiao would not be surprised. But the other party was obviously not passing by, but waiting for something. There were a total of six people on the other side, all of them hiding their breath, hiding in the shadows of a corner, if it weren't for Li Xiao always paying attention to the surroundings, they wouldn't have been discovered at all.
Among these six people, the strongest is a mid-Yuan Infant cultivator, along with one Yuan Infant Early Stage and three Jindan Late Stage cultivators. The last place made Li Xiao a little surprised, it was actually the female Heavenly Demon who wanted to rob the corgi that he met when he first entered the city. And judging by her posture, she should still be the commander of this group of people.
Judging from the fact that these people deliberately hid their aura, coupled with the location where they appeared, Li Xiao guessed that they should be the same as himself, wanting to take advantage of the emptiness of today's defense and enter the City Lord's Mansion. As for what to do in there, Li Xiao didn't know. It's just that I didn't expect to meet my peers, so there are big variables. The strength of the other party, especially the woman, could easily trigger those alarms if they entered. So Li Xiao chose to wait and see what happened.
Li Xiao restrained his breath and hid aside, originally just subconsciously using his divine sense to probe the surroundings, but this exploration made him frown. It turned out that it was not only the wave of people not far away, but also some people in other directions farther away. In each wave, there is one mid-primordial monk and one or two early-primordial monks. After this calculation, there are at least ten of these Yuan Infant Monks combined. As for the other direction of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiao didn't dare to extend his divine sense so far in order not to expose himself, but with the layout of the other party, there should be so many or eight others.
Discovering this, Li Xiao understood that these people were probably not here to steal things. Looks like you've come to the right place tonight. Since this is the case, Li Xiao is not in a hurry. So Li Xiao found a corner to hide himself, and began to wait patiently.
However, after an hour, the people gradually began to commotion, as if the signal had not appeared, and it seemed that the situation had changed. Just as they were rushing in because they were not now, the protective shield above the City Lord's Mansion suddenly opened, and with a fluctuation of chaotic demonic energy, it was obvious that there had been a fight inside before.
At the same time, an old but majestic voice came: "You people who are lying in ambush outside, listen to me, Kunbo has been taken by me." If you choose to give up now, hand over Kunbo's daughter, and withdraw from Wanyuan City, the old man can promise here, and he will not be guilty of the past. If you are still stubborn, then today next year will be your time of death. As soon as the words fell, the figures of more than ten Yuan Infant Breaths and hundreds of Jindan Breaths jumped into the air.
At this moment, another old man's voice sounded: "Wanlikong, you are a little too happy too early. Do you think I'm really defenseless against you? If you want to catch a turtle in my urn, then I will naturally accompany you in such a play. Look what's in your hand?"
Then came the angry voice from before: "Stand-in? It turns out that you already knew that I had eyeliner next to you. ”
"Hehe, not only do I know that you have eyeliner by my side, but I also know that you have an alliance with a few of them. It's ridiculous to let them pretend to be in partnership with me. It's a pity that since they can ally with you for the sake of interests, they can also betray you for the sake of higher interests. ”
"What do you mean. You guys?"
"But if we don't trick you into opening the shield, our reinforcements won't be able to enter, and then we alone won't be able to do anything to you. Now that we have reached this point and the play has been played, there is nothing more to say. Today next year will be your death day. As soon as the words fell, a pillar of fire rose into the sky. At the same time, the people who were in ambush around them rushed out in an instant, fighting with the people in the air, and the sound of battle was also heard inside.
At the same time, the protective shield of the City Lord's Mansion began to slowly rise. It's just that before half of the birth, several explosions sounded in several corners of the City Lord's Mansion. These places are exactly the locations of the array eyes that Li Xiao discovered before. Immediately after the explosion, the shield was ineffective.
Although I didn't see this dramatic scene, from the conversation between the two, Li Xiao could guess it. But he didn't care about that, since someone caused chaos for him, he was happy. Turning left and right all the way, Li Xiao soon arrived at the previous courtyard. There was not a single sentry along the way, and most of the formation was useless. But this courtyard, along with the few hidden formations that Li Xiao had discovered before, continued to work intact.
After confirming that there was no one around, Li Xiao immediately began to break the formation. Although Wan Likong and his people were now in battle, Li Xiao still chose to use what he had prepared to break the formation, rather than breaking the formation violently.
After some hard work, Li Xiao finally entered the real room. The room is very simple and easy to see at a glance. Except for a desk and a few cabinets and a few chairs, there was nothing. But it didn't have the Jiuyang Fire that Li Xiao was looking for.
After confirming that he was not in the study conjured up by that formation, Li Xiao released the corgi. As soon as the little corgi came out, he sniffed left and right, and immediately rushed to a wall in the corner excitedly, and then shouted at the wall.
Li Xiao walked over and found that there was at least an ordinary wall, and behind the wall was the outside of the house, and there was nothing there. There are no hidden compartments on the walls, and there is nothing to hold in them. This made Li Xiao wonder.
Li Xiao tried to reach out and knock on the wall. When his hand just reached for the wall
