Located in the center of Chizhou, there is a huge city covering an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers.

Because of its huge footprint, the city is not protected by towering walls like other cities on the Shenzhou continent. But instead, the architectural pattern of the entire city is formed in strict accordance with the layout of a huge magic circle, and the mountains, lakes, waters, buildings, and sect residences in the city are all very strictly divided.

In the city, the streets are divided into lanes and streets.

The former is a spacious avenue that can accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages side by side; The latter is a pedestrian path.

If you want to go to a longer destination, it is naturally faster to take a public carriage or ride yourself; However, if you are only moving near your residence, it is easier to walk on foot.

And in the sky, from time to time, there will be batches of flying boats or various flying monsters passing by, either they bring all kinds of supplies to the city, or bring different guests to the city. Of course, most of the passengers who have packed all kinds of goods or want to leave the city will also choose to leave in this way.

From this alone, it's not hard to see how prosperous the city is.

In the entire Shenzhou Continent, there are only nine cities that can reach this scale, and they are all collectively called state cities, which is a metaphor for the core of a state land.

At present, this is the economic and cultural center of the entire Chizhou, and it is also the place where all the sects, gangs, and families in Chizhou are eager to occupy a place in it.

Chizhou City.

Located in the south of Chizhou City, there is a huge garden-style mansion with huge scale and luxurious decoration. This mansion occupies almost one-tenth of the area of Chizhou City, and there are not only man-made lakes in the mansion, but also two peaks above hundreds of meters above sea level, not to mention various other buildings.

There is only one mansion in Chizhou City that can have such a luxury and scale, looking at the entire Chizhou.

That is one of the nine great families in Shenzhou, the Chizhou Mu family.

Also known as Muwangfu.

As one of the four top forces in Chizhou, Muwangfu's influence covers Anfang, Nanchifang, Tianluofang, Gushan and other places, and there are stewards' mansions in its square city, in order to be able to collect information from all parties as quickly as possible, so as to be able to confirm the situation of the Quartet at the first time and improve Muwangfu's own intelligence network work and so on.

To handle so much intelligence work, it is natural that a lot of manpower is required.

Therefore, in the Mu Wang's Mansion, there is a celestial tower that is specially responsible for dealing with these matters.

The location of the Celestial Elephant Tower in King Mu's Mansion is not a secret, and almost everyone knows the location of this seven-story attic. But all along, no one has been able to cause any damage to this attic, even if it is the Immortal Gate, the biggest enemy of Mu Wangfu in Chizhou, he will never attack the idea of this attic.

There is no other reason.

Not to mention that within a radius of ten miles from the Celestial Elephant Tower, it can almost be said that it is ten steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, even if these sentry posts can be bypassed, the Celestial Elephant Tower is still in the shelter range of an eighth-order killing array. Even if they were able to break through this killing array and break into the Celestial Elephant Tower, the two owners of the Celestial Planet Tower, whose strength had reached the realm of the Three Immortals, would not be here to entertain.

At this time, on the seventh floor of this Tianxiang Building, the two landlords were fighting on a chessboard.

This is a monastic chess game that is unique to the monastic world.

This kind of chess is a kind of training for monks' divine thoughts, and it can have a certain effect on the cultivation of divine thoughts, so this kind of monk's chess is very popular in the monastic world. However, only those monks with high cultivation will hone their divine thoughts and minds in this way, because this kind of monk chess game often takes several days or even more than ten days before it is possible to divide the results, and if it is a close competition, it is likely to take dozens of days or even longer to end a game.

Like a cultivator who has entered the Xuan Realm and a cultivator who has passed through the Xuan Realm, the time for cultivation is not enough, how can there be time to waste on this?

As for the Circle Realm Cultivators and Realm Breaking Monks, apart from those geniuses, ordinary monks would not spend their time in this area. The only ones who can really use monk chess to hone their divine thoughts, minds, and wills are monks above the realm of incarnation.

The chessboard battle between the two owners of the Celestial Elephant Building has been competing for a hundred days, but it is still difficult to separate.

"Hmph, I didn't expect your control to improve, I really made a mistake before." The landlord on the left side of the chessboard is a middle-aged man who doesn't seem to be very old, his hair is meticulously combed, and the clothes on his body are neatly dressed, which is not difficult to see that his character is a very strict and serious person.

"Hiccup...... You're still so adventurous. The one on the right side of the board is also a middle-aged man, but his hair is messy and unkempt, and the whole person looks slightly older than the one on the left, especially the smell of alcohol on his body is difficult to make people feel good, "If you weren't so adventurous and greedy, our game should have ended thirty-seven days ago." ”

"Hmph." There was no reply, and the middle-aged man on the left just snorted coldly, "If you are willing to pay a little more attention, I'm afraid it should be over fifty-three days ago." ”

"Hiccup." The middle-aged man on the right burped again, "And then?" You're going to pester me for the second game again, aren't you tired? Then it's better to play this round until no one is available. …… Hiccup, or, is our game a draw? ”

"I refuse." Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man on the left directly refused coldly.

"Oh, oops, don't do that...... Wow! You're cheating! Dare to yin me! Return my Sword Emperor! ”

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!"

"I'm sick of you!"

A loud and screaming quarrel resounded in this small space.

But soon, the quarrel was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The door, which had been closed, suddenly opened, as if a strong wind had opened the door. The owner who brought up the sound of hurried footsteps happened to run outside the door at the moment when the door was shaken open, and his face looked a little panicked.

"What?" The serious and solemn middle-aged man on the left side of the chessboard turned his head to look at the person outside the room, his eyes were sharp, his face was calm, and the whole person exuded a solemn aura, giving people an extremely strong deterrent.

"Gift...... Tell Mu Huan that there is an urgent report. ”

"Read." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"The reason why the Snow Mountain Sword Sect joined the Jiao'an Training Ground has been found. It is said to be the Snow Falling Sword of the Snow Mountain Sword School. Lin Feng had appeared near Jiao'an Black Rock City, but she disappeared around there after that, so the Snow Mountain Sword Sect had to send someone to join the training ground, the purpose of which was to find Lin Feng's whereabouts. ”

"This woman isn't dead yet?" The sloppy middle-aged man on the right side of the chessboard was a little surprised, "There's no reason." Could it be that Mu An's subordinates showed mercy? …… But it's also possible, after all, she used to be the woman he loved the most, tsk...... So in this way, Mu An should also be in Jiao'an? ”

"At the moment...... Can't be sure. The man standing outside the door, not daring to enter the room, whispered, "And the Immortal Gate seems to be ...... There are also some abnormal movements, which are likely to cause the situation on the training ground to heat up. ”

"It doesn't matter." The middle-aged man known as Mu Huan said in a cold voice, "If it's just like this, it shouldn't be enough to report urgently, let's talk about the point." ”

"News has just come from Anfang City that there is a disciple of the Great Luo Wen family who is suspected of being plundered."

Mu Huan's brows furrowed: "He appeared again?" After hibernating for thirty years, can you finally take it back again? …… Who was responsible for this before? ”

The latter sentence was not asking the reporter, but had already turned his head to look at the middle-aged man on the right who was the same as Mu Huan and the owner of the Tianxiang Building.

"It seems to be...... Mu An. The landlord on the right said in a tone that was not very certain, but soon his tone became serious, "Thirty years ago, it was because Mu An was in charge of this matter that he and Lin Feng broke up, otherwise these two would have formed a Taoist couple, and our relationship with the Snow Mountain Sword Sect would have been closer." …… It's a shame. ”

"Thirty years ago, that Immortal Sect outcast already had the cultivation of breaking through the fifth layer of the realm, and he had been dormant for thirty years, and we must prepare for the worst that the other party has broken through the realm." Mu Huan said in a deep voice, "Mu Xin's supervising team over there in the trial ground has just been wiped out, right?" summoned Mu Xin and asked him to rush to Da Luo Wen's house immediately to investigate the matter. At the same time, he summoned Mu Feiyu and asked him to rush to Da Luo Wen's house to protect Mu Xin, if the strength of the Immortal Sect outcast has not broken through to the fetal realm, then let him not have to make a move, if the other party has already broken through to the fetal realm, then Feiyu will be fully responsible. ”

"Yes."

"Also, let everyone in Jiao'an's training ground pay attention to it, if you find the Falling Snow Sword...... Forget it, let Mu An deal with this matter by himself, let them pay attention to it, if they find Mu An's traces, let them tell them on their behalf, and let Mu An come back as soon as possible, otherwise I will personally arrest someone. ”

Hearing that Mu Huan, the owner of the Celestial Elephant Tower, actually said that he was going to take action in person, the middle-aged man who was in charge of reporting the order suddenly trembled in his heart, and he was so shocked that a cold sweat was about to come out. But he didn't dare to say any nonsense, so he hurriedly nodded yes.

"Also, what was the result of the investigation of the sky-high yin qi in Wan Zhulin before?"

"There are no other clues other than the signs that can be determined to be ghosts."

Hearing this reply, Mu Huan let out a cold snort.

Just the shock of momentum, the middle-aged man who reported the news suddenly turned pale, and felt that his throat was sweet, and it seemed that blood was gushing up his throat.

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with these little guys." The middle-aged man on the right couldn't stand it anymore, "Isn't it just a sky-high ghostly aura, and it's not resentment or some evil demon was born, why are you so nervous." This is our Mu family's Chizhou, not Xuanzhou, and those guys from Shujianmen dare to use this as an excuse to stretch their hands to us, so let's just cut off these hands. ”

"You say it easily." Mu Huan snorted coldly, his face looked extremely dissatisfied, "You have also seen with your own eyes how condensed that sky-rushing yin qi is." Even if it wasn't born from an evil demon, or some thousand-year-old powerful soul or 10,000-year-old ghost, it was a ghost cultivator who cultivated to be strong! Look at Yinzhou and Youzhou, what has become of them now! ”

"Ghost cultivators are not necessarily all evil demons, so it would be strange if the people of the Xuanyin Sect heard this, and they didn't fight." The man on the right said nonchalantly, "You can't just look at one side of everything, everything in this world has two sides, and you can't be killed with a stick." …… Over the years, you have gotten too close to the people of Shujianmen, and your thoughts have become extreme. ”

"What is the ghost cultivator thinking, who knows? Do we have to wait until this ghost cultivator is the party to the calamity before we can solve it? Mu Huan shouted coldly, "There is chaos in Yinzhou, and the Chu family in Youzhou itself is not very clean, so we don't care what kind of virtue the land of those two states is." But this is Chizhou, and our Mu family governs Chizhou, so it is impossible to let a ghost mess around here. ”

"I still say that, you can't just look at the surface of everything, if one day, you are also forced to be physically dismantled, and you can only survive as a ghost cultivator, then do you want me to kill you too?"

"There won't be that day, I'd rather die than become a ghost."

"You're unreasonable!"

"It's you who can't be reasoned with!"

Seeing that the two landlords quarreled again, the reporter who was still standing outside the door couldn't leave or stay, which seemed extremely embarrassing. But he could be sure that if that ghost cultivator really appeared in front of the owner of Mu Huan, he would probably be crushed into yin powder.

It's just that he can't figure out what kind of means that ghost cultivator used to hide it so well, even the Heavenly Mechanic who was supported by King Mu's Mansion couldn't figure out his traces.
