Chapter 405: Seal
A thick iron chain was fixed on the boulder next to the cave entrance, and the other end of the chain hung down in the bottomless pit, probably the auxiliary equipment used by Old Man Ou to get up and down, and it looked like the legendary lock dragon well.
Jin Cheng did not go down with the help of iron chains, but stepped on the flying sword, slowly descended from the entrance of the cave, and after descending twenty or thirty meters, it was already pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
After descending to a hundred meters, the surrounding demonic qi was permeated, making Jin Cheng feel a little uncomfortable, and he cast a true qi shield to isolate the intrusion of demonic qi and then continue to descend.
When he reached a depth of two hundred meters, the seal was already within reach, Jin Cheng found a place to settle down and carefully studied the seal. After a while, he discovered the problem: first, the low-level spirit stone that was the base of the formation had been exhausted, and the entire seal was supported by the middle-grade spirit stone on the array eye, and now only a small half of the spiritual energy was left; The second is that the complex runes on the seal have signs of collapse, which may be the reason why the seal has been too old and has not been re-blessed.
But those complex runes, with Jin Cheng's current formation level, he can only understand some fur, if he wants to bless the seal, he must at least cultivate in the Dan period, and the level of the formation mage can barely be improved to the third grade.
Jin Cheng frowned, the formation base needed a total of eight spirit stones, and there were less than twenty spirit stones in his space ring, among which the water spirit stones had to be given to Lan Xiaoling to cultivate, and they were absolutely untouchable, and there were about fourteen that could be used. If just one seal here is not a big problem, the key is that Old Man Ou said that there is a similar passage on a small island in the South China Sea, then the spirit stone is not enough.
Anyway, let's stabilize the seal here first, as for the spirit stones consumed, I can only ask Zhan Yuanpeng to recognize them, I believe that with the power of the Heaven Group, it is still possible to collect some spirit stones.
Now that it has been decided, Jin Cheng no longer hesitates, he clears the spirit stone that has turned into powder, fills it with new spirit stones, and the seal is bright, and the colorful light flows on its surface, converging into a pillar of light, which shoots directly above the hole, and then gradually calms down, and when he observes the seal again, he will find that those weak areas seem to have condensed a lot, and the gaps that could originally leak demonic qi are all closed.
Jin Cheng let out a long breath, he finally got the seal, there will be no problems in at least two years, and in the future, the level of the formation will be raised to the third grade and then come here to strengthen the runes on the seal, once the seal is completely stable, it can last for at least five hundred years, unless there is a demon king-level anti-heaven master on the side of the demon world, it can be broken violently, it seems that the probability of this is very low.
When Jin Cheng returned to the ground, Old Man Ou just swallowed his last breath, and there was a smile of relief on his pale face, perhaps at the last moment of his life, he felt that the breath of the demon world was isolated, and he could finally rest assured and left with a satisfied mood.
Why bother, since this is the case, why not confess clearly at the beginning, you have to fight to the death, and then you are willing to tell the beginning and the end calmly.
In the final analysis, it is still selfishness, self-esteem is making trouble, and the soaring strength makes Old Man Ou unwilling to bow to anyone, he may want to defeat Jin Cheng and then talk about cooperation, so that he can grasp the initiative, and he knows that the sky does not obey people's wishes.
However, although Old Man Ou was controlled by the devil, he had a bad conscience, he just disobeyed in order to protect the secret of the passage, and he also confessed to Jin Cheng afterwards, and the Ou family did not do anything excessive, among several major families, the reputation is not bad, and it should not be killed in a reasonable way.
Jin Cheng walked out of the cave and made a phone call to Zhan Yuanpeng, asking him to come to the scene to discuss the matter of military control of this mountain.
As for the Ou family, they had to change places, and Jin Cheng thought of a good place for them to go - the Fan family compound.
Ending the call with Zhan Yuanpeng, Jin Cheng returned the same way and put the unicorn's body into the space ring, this guy is full of treasures, especially the pair of fangs is a very good refining material, but the more valuable unicorn was destroyed, which is a little regrettable.
When he went down to the middle of the mountain, he saw a large group of old men of the Ou family guarding the stone tablet at the bottom of the mountain from a distance, and Jin Cheng walked over fearlessly.
When the old guys saw Jin Cheng appear alone, many people exclaimed at the same time, revealing expressions of disbelief, and then a panic spread through the crowd.
Ou Zhongyang, the head of the Ou family, flashed a trace of pain in his eyes, stared at Jin Cheng's figure, and after a long time, he said to the people around him: "The old man has explained, if we are defeated, we are told to give up resistance and accept all conditions, as long as we can live."
"Yes." The elders had different thoughts and responded in a low voice.
Jin Cheng's pace was unhurried, and after three or five minutes, he came to the edge of the forbidden land, looked at the group of old men with low eyebrows in front of him, sighed secretly, and said to Ou Zhongyang: "Find a place, there is something that needs to be discussed in detail."
An hour later, Zhan Yuanpeng arrived.
The three of them chatted for a long time in the secret room, and finally reached an agreement: the Ou family was divided into two, and Ou Zhongyang left two hundred warriors to garrison the capital, but they would move to the Fan family compound and live away from the world for a hundred years; Another innate martial artist, Ou Zhongqian, led the rest of his clan to Xinwei Province, where he took root and survived, and without the summons of the Heavenly Group, he was never allowed to return to Beijing.
There is a Zhou family in Xinwei Province, there is a congenital warrior in the clan, the Zhou family is like a local emperor, and the troubles over the years are a little unusual, it can't be said that people and gods are angry, but the local government and the people are quite complaining.
After considering it all, it is a good choice to let Europe and China intervene in the forces of the new Victorian provinces. Ou Zhongqian came over with a large number of people, and he was not weaker than the Zhou family in terms of strength, and his foothold would definitely not be a problem, once he gained a firm foothold, it would also be a kind of containment to the Zhou family, avoiding a situation where one family was dominant.
After finalizing this major event, Zhan Yuanpeng was in a very good mood, the hard bone of the Ou family was taken down, and the next rectification work was not difficult, who would dare to make an obstacle from it? For a while, Old Man Zhan was full of arrogance and emotion.
The capital is about to usher in a new atmosphere, and the Heavenly Group has also ushered in a new situation, no longer a violent institution that only plays a deterrent role, but really controls the fate of those ancient martial families, and gives full play to the functions of the Heavenly Group.
Jin Cheng didn't make Zhan Yuanpeng happy for long, took Old Man Zhan to the back mountain, and told him about the Demon Realm Passage and Old Man Ou's cultivation of Demon Skills.
Zhan Yuanpeng opened his mouth and stammered, he didn't slow down for a long time, and shouted luck, fortunately there was Jin Cheng, a cultivator, otherwise the end of the world was really coming.
As for Jin Cheng's proposal to need a spirit stone, he agreed and took a spirit stone as a sample, and then searched for various spirit stones across the country.
Jin Cheng reminded him that the Ou family actually had spirit stones, and there were more or less some of them in the other major families in the capital, and if they could all be collected, it would be a considerable amount, but this wicked man needed Zhan Yuanpeng to do it.
