Chapter 81: A Strange City
"Who's coming?" The guards at the city gate looked at the four of them, and the mount roared, as if warning Qian Yunyue and the others not to act rashly.
King Zhentian Ming Level: 60 Gatekeeper of Destiny City
"Hello seniors, we are adventurers who have come from afar and want to enter the city." Qianyunyue clasped her fists and saluted.
"This is the city of martial arts, those who want to enter the city, they must pass the force test of Tianwu Stone, as long as they meet the basic requirements for entering the city, this seat will be released, if you want to forcibly break through, don't blame this seat for being ruthless." King Zhentian Ming looked at everyone expressionlessly, and raised his hand to a stone tablet next to him.
Tianwu Stone, a magical stone tablet made of flying stones outside the sky, can determine the strength of a warrior according to the attack received.
Qian Yunyue suddenly realized, it turned out that the so-called players above level 40 can enter the city is judged in this way, and I am afraid that this place is completely different from other main cities, the so-called city of martial arts cultivation should mean that there must be a certain amount of martial arts cultivation to enter this city, so there will be such a test.
The four of Qianyunyue naturally passed the test easily, and after entering the city, it was already night, and the city was brightly lit. Qiushui was hungry and wanted to eat, so the group decided to find a place to stay first.
"Stay, several." At this time, an NPC who looked like a receptionist greeted him. "May I ask how many of the warriors are here to participate in the martial arts conference?"
"Yes." Qian Yunyue looked at the visitor suspiciously, and nodded.
"Next, the villain will lead you to the guild hall to rest, please come with me." The receptionist bowed respectfully.
Destiny City does not belong to any country on this continent, it is an independent city, known as the holy land of warriors, and those who can reach this city are extraordinary masters. And the current city lord Ji Yingtian is from a noble background, and he is a descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. No one knows how long this city has existed, who built it, and no one even knows where each of its lords came from, but it is a very mysterious place.
"What's the situation now?"
"Lord Huicheng, a large number of adventurers have come to this city one after another, and their subordinates have arranged contact."
"Well, it's done, you go down first, and report any situation immediately."
Ji Yingtian pondered for a while, turned around and entered the back hall, and came to a place that looked like an ancestral hall.
Three statues of the gods were enshrined above the ancestral hall, and he lit three sticks of incense, and then bowed respectfully on the ground.
"What?" After a few moments, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"Back to the three gods, the villain has gathered those adventurers, including those adventurers, here according to the instructions of the gods, on the grounds of holding a martial arts conference, and ask the gods to instruct the villain what to do next?" Ji Yingtian lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Very good, act according to the plan first, and the deity will give you a magic rune, if something unexpected happens, you can open the rune and follow the instructions above." A golden light floated out of the statue and slowly fell in front of Ji Yingtian.
"Obey the law." Ji Yingtian took the rune and retired.
"Two senior brothers, what do you think about these adventurers?"
"It still has the power to come back from the dead in an instant, this is already against the sky, and there must be something strange about this matter."
"Although we have always advocated a policy of non-intervention in the human world, we cannot sit idly by and ignore the unknown variables that have emerged. It's best to find out where this group of adventurers came from and what they were doing as soon as possible, because if it takes too long, nothing will happen. ”
"Could it be the Demon Clan's Necromancy?"
"No, those adventurers are indeed living humans, and the demons have been keeping to themselves all these years and following the agreement of the year. The war that took place thousands of years ago was just the result of a small group of losers who were banished by the Demon Realm. ”
"That'...... Could it be the reincarnation of that race? No! We all know very well that there should be no survivors in that clan. But just in case, it's best to be prepared. ”
Qian Yunyue wandered around the hall alone, after entering this city, he always had a few doubts in his heart, first of all, this hall, this place is amazing, the area is so large, I am afraid it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, accommodation and food everything, and as soon as they entered the city, they were taken to this place, it felt like it was specially prepared for the martial arts conference, of course, in order to facilitate management and maintain order, it was natural to have such a place, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He walked around the hall, and one after another players were constantly being received here, which was very strange, if he remembered correctly, the receptionist at that time did not ask them if they were adventurers, that is, it could also be a martial artist other than the player, but after he turned around, he found that all the players who were received here were players, and there was no one else. He reacted all of a sudden, isn't this martial arts conference an activity of their players? Could it be that there are still people from this world involved?
Then he came from the city gate to the guild hall, he clearly felt a lot of breath, but he didn't see a single figure on the road, although it was night, but it was only about 9 o'clock, people should not rest in the house so early. Speaking of which, it's already strange that the guards at the gate of this city are not humans, and he didn't see a single guard in the city, shouldn't there be guards to maintain order in a city like this, in case there is trouble.
The strangest thing is that they can't leave this hall, although they were told that it is not safe in the city at night, so at present, the hall can only enter and exit, and it will not open until tomorrow morning, but in fact, this place is shrouded in an enchantment, and they can't get out at all, and even Qianyunyue's Blue Moon Ring can't break this enchantment.
"How?" Everyone looked at the returning Qianyunyue, they all lived in a four-person room, this was Ling Ziyan's suggestion, she also had a premonition that something would happen, and everyone could take care of it when they were together.
"It's a weird place, and it's best not to take it lightly tonight. You guys rest early, I'll be on guard, and then we will rotate in the second half of the night. Qian Yunyue pondered for a moment, but decided that he would be the sentry so as not to cause anything to happen.
"Isn't this in the city? What else could happen? "Qiushui has been lying in bed for a long time, and I am already a little tired after running around for several hours today.
"Didn't you find out? This city is not a safe area, and combat can be triggered. Qian Yunyue sat down on the bed closest to the door, took out the Xuanyuan Sword and began to nourish today's internal force.
"That's hard work." Liu Rumei cleaned up a little and lay down, although she was a little embarrassed to be in the same room with Qian Yunyue, but with Ling Ziyan and them, she was not so nervous.
Soon it was the third watch, and it was gradually quiet outside, probably because all the players had arrived and rested. And Qianyunyue put the warning net to the maximum, the time when people relax their vigilance the most, is the time to rest at night, if you want to do something, now is the best time.
Sure enough, he was unfortunate enough to guess it, he sensed that a large amount of aura suddenly appeared in the guild hall, coming and going without knowing what they were doing, and then a few breaths quietly touched the door of their room.
Qian Yunyue frowned, what should I do? Do it directly? Or wait a little longer and see what exactly they want to do.
A thin tube came through the crack in the door, and then a puff of smoke came out. Qianyun Moon is full of black lines, isn't it, actually using this kind of indiscriminate means? However, whether it was smoke or poisonous mist, it was useless for him, and Ling Ziyan should not be affected, but not the other two. Looking at this posture, I want to capture him alive, but I think about it, the world knows that adventurers will be resurrected even if they die, and the best way to subdue adventurers is to control.
These guys, a little bold, Qian Yunyue sighed secretly, not to mention anything else, there are at least a few thousand players in this hall, once it is revealed, it is not a simple matter of small disputes, but what is their purpose? Capture alive and control it for your own use? That's a terrible idea.
In order not to startle the snake, Qian Yunyue decided to pretend to sleep first and wait for those people to come in, he had already thought of a good way to deal with them.
After a few moments, a short knife came through the crack in the door and gently pried the bolt open, and several figures crept into the room.
"You're all asleep, aren't you?"
"Of course, even if this kind of drunken soul incense is smelled by a martial artist with advanced cultivation, he will have to sleep for three days and three nights."
"Very good, give them the Dementor Pill and tie them all up and take them back."
Several people were about to make a move, when they suddenly felt that it was dark in front of them, and before they could call, they disappeared from the house.
Qian Yunyue woke up Ling Ziyan, asked her to be optimistic about Qiushui and Rumei, and managed to wake them up, and then she also entered the demon refining pot.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Qian Yunyue clasped her chest with both hands, and leisurely looked at the few masked people in black in front of her, these people were not of high rank, the average was only level 45, and it seemed that they were just miscellaneous soldiers.
A few men in black didn't understand what was going on at all, weren't they still in the house just now? Now they are in the wild, and the worst thing is that the three unicorns surround them, and there is a person who looks very difficult to mess with in front of them.
"Don't want to say it? Or do you want to be torn to shreds? Qianyunyue gestured, and the Qilin family pounced, directly pressing three of them to the ground and biting them.
The remaining two turned around and tried to escape, but one of them was directly impaled by a flying sword, lay on the ground and convulsed twice, no longer moving.
In the end, the man in black was shocked, he had a deep understanding of the disparity in strength, so he raised his hand and surrendered, no longer resisting.
"These bastards dare to lay *." Qiushui, who woke up, was furious, and punched and kicked the man in black. The man was tied up with five flowers, and his mouth was gagged, so he could only let the autumn water vent. I have to say that the drunken soul incense is really powerful, and in the end, it was Qian Yunyue who used two Pure Heart Pills to wake them up.
"It turned out to be the order of the city lord?" After listening to the news of Qian Yunyue's forced confession, everyone felt a little chill behind their backs, this guy was too bold, and this was undoubtedly a declaration of war with the adventurer, but since he dared to do this, it meant that there must be something to rely on, and if it weren't for Qian Yunyue and Ling Ziyan having an artifact, they would have been tricked. But this man in black is just a miscellaneous soldier, he doesn't know anything else except to carry out orders, and it seems that if he wants to know more information, he has to ask more people at the top.
"What's next?" Ling Ziyan glanced outside the house, although only a few minutes had passed, it was estimated that someone would soon find out that something was wrong here.
"I came up with a great idea." Qianyunyue smiled secretly.
