Chapter 113: Birthday Banquet and Dark Tide
After this reminder from Shi Die, Ye Lingyu's heart suddenly seemed to see the sun.
Using the power of divine consciousness to sense the spirituality of the elixir may be difficult for others, but for him, it is not impossible.
His cultivation has not yet reached the Xuan level for the time being, but because he has devoured the star dew, he has vaguely touched the threshold of divine consciousness.
At this moment, he is only one step away from being promoted to the Xuan Rank and truly possessing divine consciousness.
Dan will be tomorrow, less than a day, although this time is short, but maybe you can fight again.
During the day, he continued to alchemy with Shidie, and received a word of guidance from time to time. Although he didn't know what level of alchemist Shidie was until now, every time he was instructed, he could benefit a lot. Every word of instruction is worth his ten days of refinement.
One day was like a white horse passing through the gap, and on that day, Shidie also went home as usual, leaving only Ye Lingyu on the back mountain.
This time, he didn't continue to alchemy all night, but took out the mixed element diagram and hid it in a crack in the rock, and then dodged into the diagram.
The huge star tree still looks starry, and the bright starlight makes people feel beautiful.
At this alchemy conference, I don't know how many alchemists will come. If you want to win in it, I am afraid that the power of this divine consciousness will become the key to victory or defeat.
"It's up to you again this time. Ye Lingyu stroked the trunk of the tree and whispered.
With a wave of one hand forward, a huge black hole appeared in the air. In the cave, the invisible energy swept in like a storm, all of which were swallowed by the star tree, and at the same time, the halo on the star tree became brighter and brighter.
......
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was white, the servants in the house began to be busy.
Today's busyness came earlier than usual, because today is an important day for the whole of Situ Mansion.
The two-hundredth birthday of the head of the Situ family, this matter has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Sai'an City.
The lobby was full of tables and chairs for banquets, and the dishes were all prepared in the back kitchen, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
It was close to noon, and the guests all came in droves, surrounding the gate of Situ Mansion.
After all, the Situ family is the number one gate in Sai'an City, and when the birthday banquet is placed, the other families will naturally not be absent. Ruoning, as Situ Rang's granddaughter, has been guarding the gate since early in the morning, accepting everyone's congratulations on behalf of Situ Rang. The subordinates next to him were responsible for counting the congratulatory gifts that were sent.
Ye Lingyu also returned from the back mountain at noon. After changing into neat clothes in advance, he called Mo Fei, and went to the banquet hall under the leadership of the maid.
The people invited this time, in addition to the major families, are more alchemists.
As soon as Ye Lingyu entered the hall, he saw Wu Danshi with a two-handed-eight-figure beard.
Wu Danshi's eyes were sharp, and as soon as Ye Lingyu stepped in with his front foot, he began to shout with his back foot: "It's the master! ”
Everyone turned their heads one after another, and their eyes turned to Ye Lingyu in unison.
"Haha, master, you're finally here, everyone is waiting to discuss alchemy with you, but you're waiting for us to wear it. Someone laughed and came up to him.
Ye Lingyu felt a headache, why did he bring up this matter again. It was rare for him to feel that after ten days, these guys should have almost forgotten about him, and in the end they still underestimated these people's enthusiasm for alchemy.
He looked around the room and found that most of the people here were Danshi who had met each other last time. He threw his hands in all directions, and it was regarded as a greeting salute.
Under the guidance of Wu Danshi, I found a seat and sat down, and I had a good conversation with all Dan masters.
Unlike last time, last time he barely knew alchemy, and he had nothing to talk about with the guys in front of him. But now, he is also a Dan Master who can refine the three-grade pill, and there are many common topics to talk about.
Time passed again, and the guests were almost there. Situ Rang entered from the door with the support of Ruo Ning, and presided over the beginning of the banquet amid the congratulations of everyone.
At the same time when the Situ family was holding a banquet, at the tower of Sai'an City, a team of soldiers was stationed on the tower.
Outside the castle tower is the desolate desert, and you can see a thousand miles from a high place.
The team stationed there was about twenty people, most of whom were Huang Rank cultivators, and only one of the leaders had reached the Xuan Rank in strength.
The leader was dressed in iron-blue armor, and on his leather belt was a slightly old sword, the scabbard of which was full of notches, and he did not know how many battles he had experienced. He paced back and forth from the castle tower, patrolling over and over again.
"Alas, this damn weather, isn't the recent wind and sand getting bigger again. Among the guards, there was a soft sigh.
"Isn't it, the west wind is turning to the south wind, and it's almost the wind season. Another voice responded.
In the boring work of defending the city, there was no prohibition on the private conversation of the guards, but the voices of the two were still very low, almost drowned out by the wind.
"I heard that today is the birthday banquet of the Situ family, and even the city lord has passed. ”
"Yes, I've heard about it too, and if it weren't for the turn of defending the city today, I'd like to go over and have a look. It's really hard, people drink, we drink wind. ”
"Shhhh ”
The two talked in a whisper, but they didn't notice that the person known as Commander Zhao happened to pass behind them.
Commander Zhao smiled silently and didn't think much about it. It would be too boring to look at the desolation of the borderland, and not even a word or two of gossip is allowed.
However, just after he took a few more steps, the guard next to him suddenly heard a "huh".
"What's wrong?" Commander Zhao asked, turning his head.
The guard lay down by the city wall, looked down for a moment, and then turned around: "Tell your lord, among the crowd entering the city, I found traces of the mad hundred heroes. ”
"Crazy Baixiong?" Commander Zhao frowned slightly, "Just him?"
"Yes, I've found out that Mad Baixiong is alone at the moment. My lord, do you want to ...... him?"
The Wild Hundred Heroes are people who are stormy, but they have been in and out of the city frequently in the past two days. It stands to reason that these bandits are absolutely forbidden to enter the city of Sai'an.
But after a moment of hesitation, Commander Zhao shook his head: "If he is just a person, he will ignore it." Just watch out for other people with strong winds sneaking into the city. ”
"Yes. The guard replied.
Crazy Baixiong, Commander Zhao touched his chin, son of the leader of the wind, this kind of person should not be alarmed casually.
As a group of bandits in the desert, Tempest has a lot of power, and in the past few years, I have heard that their power has a tendency to grow.
The wind looted passing convoys in the desert, but never invaded nearby city-states. It can be said that Tempest and the nearby city-states are maintained in some kind of non-aggression balance, so it is best not to do anything drastic to upset this balance, which is also for the sake of Se'an City.
However, the Crazy Baixiong chose this special day to come, which made Commander Zhao feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, but this feeling came and went quickly, and it did not attract his attention.
However, just after the mad hundred heroes entered the city, about a stick of incense, another guard let out an exclamation.
"Look over there, sir!" the guard pointed in a distant direction.
Commander Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked over, only to see a staggering figure running towards them, seeing that the figure was staggering, and his dress was a bit like a soldier of Sai'an City.
"Quick, two of you, go get him back. Commander Zhao patted the shoulders of the two guards.
The two guards ran as fast as they could, and came back as fast as they could, carrying a man covered in blood.
The man's face was covered in blood, his face was unrecognizable, and he was dressed as a spy who had been dispatched, but his armor had long since become tattered.
"What's going on?" Commander Zhao hurriedly surrounded him.
"Big ...... Your Excellency......" The bloodied guard spoke slowly, but both his voice and body trembled violently, "Yes...... There is a case. ”
Commander Zhao's expression was solemn, and he subconsciously held the hilt of the knife: "What's the situation, say." ”
However, the spy seemed to be not lightly injured, and shook on the spot a few times, but did not say a word, his eyes turned white, and he fainted.
Commander Zhao was anxious, and he was only halfway through his words, but the person fainted, how can this be good.
Besides, if there is a situation, what is the situation? Could it be that someone has come to attack the city of Se'an? Or is there some high-ranking person who has arrived?
In this case, he knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates: "Help the person down first, and find a way to wake up." ”
At the same time, he also ordered the people around him: "Everyone cheers me up, and don't let go of any trouble." ”
"Yes. The guards replied in unison.
Commander Zhao looked around a few times to make sure there were no major mistakes, and then walked towards a room in the castle tower.
Before he could get there, he saw a guard running up.
"My lord, the spy has woken up and said he has something to report to you. ”
"Okay, take me there. Commander Zhao walked like a fly in front. In three or two steps, I walked to a room.
Pushing the door in, I saw the spy lying on the bed, and he had already awakened.
"What's the situation, report it quickly. He strode over to the bed.
Na Tan stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, which was already filled with blood and mud and sand, and he couldn't wipe it off even if he wiped it.
He first looked at Commander Zhao, and then at the guards next to him.
Commander Zhao understood and waved his hand to make the guards next to him retreat.
"Hurry up. ”
"My lord, it's a gale. The spy slowly got up from the bed.
"Tempest, what's wrong with Tempest?"
"The tempest has gathered a large number of men and horses twenty miles outside the city, and is coming towards our city of Se'an. ”
"How can this be, how many people do they have?" Commander Zhao's face became more and more ugly, and he hurriedly asked.
How could the wind move at such a time, could it be that so many years of recuperation have made them more and more crazy, and they can't swallow Sai'an City.
It's just a joke, although Sai'an City doesn't have many high-end combat power, it has a big array to defend the city, how can it be swallowed so easily.
It's a city, not a small village.
"There are so many of them, a few thousand of them. ”
"How many of them are above the Xuan Rank, are they sure they are coming towards Sai'an City?"
"They have ...... high-end combat power" However, before the spy could finish speaking, his feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell forward.
Commander Zhao subconsciously stepped forward, ready to help him.
But who would have thought that while the spy "slipped", he actually followed one step further, his steps were light, and he didn't look weak at all.
However, it was with the help of this step forward that the spy was already close to Commander Zhao.
The blood-stained eyes were like wolf eyes, and a cold streamer swept through the pupils. At some point, he already had a short knife in his hand. The cold blade slid out of the scabbard, it was an extremely fast knife, the blade silently sliced through the air, and then sliced through the neck of Commander Zhao.
Commander Zhao is a Xuan-level cultivator, but this moment came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to react at all. When he reacted, he only felt a chill in his neck at first, and then he felt a warm heat slowly flowing out, and the warmth flowed down his neck, and some warmth poured into his mouth.
The spy did not stop after the knife, and then stabbed the blade forward again, and the clear blade went straight into Commander Zhao's chest......
