Chapter 239

While Zhang Zhao led people to march to the Burning City, Jiang Ruhai stayed in the Sifang City to deal with the overall situation, and with the help of the agency caravans, he continued to transport the necessary materials to various places, opening up a new way to make money.

The Xuanhuo Domain lacked rice, food, water, cloth, and medicinal materials, but the fire oil mine cave and some strange treasures were inexhaustible, Jiang Ruhai planned and carefully dispatched, not only let Zhang Zhao worry about the future, but also expanded wildly with the help of the Burning Body Clansmen all over the place.

"What are we going to do next?" After Qi Hongpao asked, Gong Yeyang bowed down and picked up a stone chair and sat at the table: "When all the families arrive, let's restart the Holy Fire Temple and hold a meeting of the senators, and then we will see what surprises this young man can bring us." ”

......

Opening his eyes to the rising red sun, Zhang Zhao slowly exhaled a long breath, and the scorpion dragon beast crouching next to him followed the sound in his nose, raised his neck and shook the scales on his body, straightened his legs and stood up.

The bloody battle in Lindou City, the scorpion dragon beast was not lightly injured and did not have enough opportunity to recuperate, Zhang Zhao originally wanted to use his own spiritual power to heal it, but for this huge body of more than tens of thousands of catties, the warm current he input really had little effect.

After a period of careful investigation, Zhang Zhao found that the scorpion dragon beast's injuries would slowly recover under the scorching sun, but they would worsen again at night. Thinking that it inherited the bloodline characteristics of the Sun Moon Demon Qi, Zhang Zhao used the spiritual power on his body to maintain the injuries of the scorpion dragon beast every night, and it finally had an effect day after day.

Thanks to his efforts, the scorpion dragon beast, which did not have enough flesh and blood to replenish its physical strength along the way, never showed fatigue. Facing the gradually brighter daylight, Zhang Zhao could feel a trace of warm spiritual power seeping into the seven-star rune array in the meridians through the scale armor pattern on its body.

After agreeing to challenge the Black Demon God, Zhang Zhao sometimes felt that the connection between himself and the Scorpion Dragon Beast had undergone subtle changes, and he was in control of all his movements, but the fierce battle brought him the illusion of communicating with each other.

Zhang Zhao had an abnormal experience when he fought against the four Zhongli Daoists, and the beastly nature that came from the heart was by no means comparable to the killing intent in the past. If Zhong Liguang and the Broadsword Cultivator didn't appear in time, the four Dao Cultivators would definitely be killed by him with their blades.

Now it was the same, the heat absorbed by the scorpion dragon beast made Zhang Zhao feel empathy, just as real and intimate as those arcane runes were firmly engraved on his skin.

This kind of natural cultivation is different from any technique, Zhang Zhao closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and when he was intoxicated, a warning suddenly flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly reined in his soul consciousness and stopped trying.

In the Xuanshui Palace, Zhang Zhao repeatedly experienced the suffering of chaotic souls, which was a last resort to save Shui Ling'er, and he was still a little afraid when he recalled it occasionally, which also made him realize that there was indeed a deep crisis hidden in the infinitely useful golden words in his brain.

The scorpion dragon beast had met Zhang Zhao when he was dying, and according to Yuan Ming, the wisp of beast soul should be attached to his sea of knowledge. Once you lose control of it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Forcibly expelled the ** who experienced the spirit beast runes, Zhang Zhao walked away a few steps to calm his mind, he turned his head and saw a red figure standing still, and hurriedly approached Shi Li: "Senior Yan, are you waiting for me?"

"I have something to do, so I think I should say goodbye to you. The fire demon patted the obviously much lighter red armor on his body: "The marrow of gold is really good, thank you very much." ”

Not long after they left the Sifang City, the Flame Demon caught up, and although he never spoke, he had a powerful deterrent. Most of the cultivators in the Xuanhuo Domain had heard of this arrogant demon who would enter every time the fire was in, and when they saw him following behind Zhang Zhao and being willing to be a guard, they naturally admired in their hearts.

Seeing that the Yan Demon turned around and left, Zhang Zhao shouted at his back: "It's me Xie senior, thanks to you, there is a lot less trouble along the way, are you going back to the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion?"

"By the way, in a few days it will be the eruption of Fire Spirit Mountain, I want to go there to forge armor, I don't have the heart to help you. The flame demon's voice was cold and couldn't hide the expectation: "If it happens, I may go back to the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion to have a look." ”

Dozens of old men in the Holy Fire Hall stood up to greet each other, and their eyes were full of eagerness when they looked at Zhang Zhao. Gongye Yang wanted to pull Zhang Zhao to sit on the big chair in the middle, but he shook his head and refused: "Seniors, you misunderstood, I didn't do all this to be a city lord. ”

"Childe, only you can sit in this seat, although the current Burning City is prosperous on the surface, it is leaderless, if the disputes between the various families become a plate of scattered sand, wouldn't this good situation be in vain?"

Zhang Zhao waved his hand to calm them down first: "Don't you seniors understand, in fact, it is not me who relies on all this, it is you who really contribute, only the people of the Burning Body Clan can work together to reverse the previous weak situation." ”

"The juniors promised the seniors of Gongye to do their best to help, but they would not stay in the burning city forever. Zhang Zhao turned around and bowed his hand to everyone: "I can only understand your kindness, I really can't be this city lord, please nominate a candidate again." ”

Dozens of old men talked for a while and didn't figure it out, Gong Yeyang saw the chaos in front of him and sighed at Zhang Zhao: "The people's hearts have been scattered for many years, unless the holy fire in the temple is rekindled, the families in the clan will not obey the arrangement of the senate at all." ”

"It's not easy to make a fire?, where is it?" Yan Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw Zhang Zhao for the first time, and stretched out his finger to point to the gray ground in front of the hall: "Gongzi doesn't know, that was once where the Holy Fire Pool of my Burning Body Clan was located, and it has long been solidified since it was extinguished hundreds of years ago, and there is no possibility of igniting it again." ”

"Unless you melt the stone with spiritual fire, maybe there is a glimmer of hope......" Qi Hongpao shook his head first: "Impossible, spiritual fire can melt all things, and it can't be ...... at all."

Zhang Zhao hesitated and asked: "The spiritual fire that the predecessor said is ...... spewed out from the Fire Spirit Mountain?" Qi Hongpao heard this: "How does the son know...... , I forgot if you didn't mention it, and in a few days, it will be the once-in-a-century Fire Spirit Gift. ”

"Help people to the end,......" Zhang Zhao got up and interrupted the discussion of everyone in the hall: "Otherwise, let's try it too, if you get back the spiritual fire, you don't have to worry anymore." ”

The unquenchable fire gushing out of the ground has always been regarded by the various factions of the Xuanhuo Domain as a harbinger of the prosperity of the sect, and hundreds of years ago, it was precisely because the holy fire pool in the temple was suddenly extinguished, and the families of the Burning Body Clan were in chaos and lost their confidence, and they were broken by the army of Chiri City in one fell swoop.

Two years ago, the Thunder Sound Valley in the hinterland of the Thunder Light Pavilion among the several major sects in the Xuanhuo Domain was also silent, and the two factions of the Purple Fire and Red Sun got the news and joined forces to attack. Although the Lei family has barely maintained itself under pressure, they have taken the opportunity to swallow up a lot of business.

However, the red flame lava in the Flame City, the purple fire in the Purple Fire City, and the scorching red sun of the Ding family in the Red Sun City combined, the name could not suppress the chaotic spiritual fire in the mountains behind the Xuanhuo City.

Every hundred years, the Fire Spirit Mountain will erupt, and in order to show its strength, the Zhu family of Xuanhuo City also invites the strong people of various cities to come to watch such magnificent scenes, which have been handed down for thousands of years and have become a very distinctive fire spirit gift.

The Burning Body Clan has been subservient to people for hundreds of years, and no one is qualified to be invited to Xuanhuo City to observe the ceremony. However, if you want to rekindle the sacred fire pool that has been condensed for hundreds of years, obtaining the Chaos Spiritual Fire may be the only chance.

Gongye Yang and the elders of the Burning Body Clan knew very well that the Burning Body Clan had been falling apart for hundreds of years after all, and although the huge momentum created by Zhang Zhao in Sifang City was temporarily united, it would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past when encountering any powerful external oppression.

Without the support of several Transformation Cultivators behind Zhang Zhao, those sects would inevitably use some tough measures, and I am afraid that this seemingly powerful force would collapse at the touch of a button.

At this critical juncture, if the Holy Flame reappears, the clansmen all over the Xuanhuo Domain will be even more confident, and then they will be able to maintain the current state until the entire situation in Burning Body City gradually stabilizes.

Zhang Zhao didn't think as thoroughly as Gong Yeyang and the others, he felt that since he had come to this point, it was not impossible to try his luck in Xuanhuo City, whether it was successful or not, it would be beneficial to the whole thing.

Although there were no millions of people with them, and the Flame Demon left first, the formation formed by Yang Feng Shi Kun and the three Transformation Cultivators of the Burning Body Clan was still quite strong. Riding the majestic scorpion dragon beast, Zhang Zhao and his party embarked on a journey to Xuanhuo City.

Along the way, I saw everywhere the people of the Burning Body Tribe, who had dragged their families back to their hometowns for thousands of miles, and these people were surprised when they saw Zhang Zhao and the Scorpion Dragon Beast, and people kept coming to offer the dried meat and home-brewed sour wine respectfully.

Feeling the sincere gratitude of hundreds of people from the heart, Shi Kun, who came over with Zhang Zhao on a whim to see the excitement at first, was also a little moved, he pointed to the mountain of dried meat and wine bags on the carriage behind Gongye Yang and said with a smile: "It's not in vain, boy, if you go on like this, even if you lose the bet, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life." ”

Swallowing the sour wine made from the sap of the spring god tree in his mouth, Zhang Zhao nodded to the children who were waving to him and laughing on the side of the road: "Senior Shi, the junior suddenly has something to ask, please don't mind Brother Yang and you." ”

Yang Feng and Shi Kun glanced at each other and didn't understand what he meant, Zhang Zhao first threw the empty wine bag into the carriage behind him accurately, and then made the scorpion dragon beast pick a few with a long tail: "Two of you taste, this wine is very similar to the milk wine made by those shepherds, it was a little sour when I first drank it, and I got used to it with a different flavor." ”

"When the five Xuanzhong call the two demons, they use the demon as their name, and the juniors of the eight demons have already seen seven, who else is it?

Shi Kun took a big sip of wine and smacked in his mouth: "Don't say it, it tastes really good." He raised his wine bag and saluted Yang Feng from afar: "Corpse Demon Gambling Demon is just a title, who cares about people like us?"

"Yan Fu Umbrella Sword, Blood Corpse Gambling Shadow, don't look at me and you kid are not too familiar, and guess who the one you haven't met is. Shi Kun looked at Zhang Zhao and smiled: "You haven't met the Fu Demon, right?" ”

"If Brother Mofeng hadn't left, I wouldn't have been able to tell you about it. Shi Kun raised his neck and took another sip of sour wine: "Eight demons, you are destined to not see everything, Fu Demon Mo Yi is the sixth elder of the Mo family, and he died under Hou Zhaotian's sword twenty years ago." ”

"Mo Yi practiced demon and evil Taoism, several sects were slaughtered by him alone, and the color of the entire Wuxuan Tan changed ......" Shi Kun still had lingering palpitations when he mentioned the past years: "No matter who it is, there are thousands of people in the corpse array, and there are no ...... left in the city."

"The entire Xuantu Domain was stirred up by him, and no one was able to survive the several groups of cultivators sent by the Outer Heaven and Qingtian, both of whom were eight demons, and the people we killed together were probably not enough for Mo Lao Liu, only he was truly worthy of this magic word. ”

When everyone was helpless, Hou Jianzun went to the Xuantu Domain with a single sword, slashed all the corpses and broke Mo Yi's talisman array, chased him to the Absolute Evil Cliff and killed him. ”

"We are just acting grotesquely, but Mo Yi is bent on letting the world rule him, he is not only a demon, but also an arrogant madman. If it weren't for the sword venerable cultivation to turn the tide of the tide, I don't know how many people would have died in vain on the five mysteries......"

"Hey, hey, haha...... , Shi Kun, you have left yourself clean," a sneering laugh suddenly came from their side with mockery: "Have you thought about it? For those whose loved ones died at your hands, it makes no difference whether you kill one person or ten thousand people." ”

"Who is it......" Seeing the eyes of Zhang Zhao and the others scanning, several people who were about to hand over the wine bags were so frightened that they panicked, and they each stretched out their hands and slapped them on their chests and backs: "It's not me who I said, it's not our ......"

Shi Kun's expression was calm, and he waved his hand to a few people so that they didn't have to move anymore: "That's right, Your Excellency has the intention of instructing, why bother to use others to spread the news? ”

"Hmph...... , Shi Kun, I didn't come to you this time, but I was moved when I heard what I said just now, don't blame it......" The voice paused when he said this: "Zhang Zhangzhao, do you want to know why something happened to the Jiang family?" I can tell you......"

His voice came out from several people who were at a loss: "There are incognito people like He Qing in many sects of Wuxuan, who are instructed by the blue sky outside the sky to wait for the opportunity to seek the foundation of each family. ”

"Who are you, why did you come to tell me this?" After Zhang Zhao asked these two sentences, the man chuckled: "Don't you like to meddle the most? Such a great opportunity is in front of you to be a good person, why bother to ask?"

"Do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, what kind of grudge do you have with the blue sky?" The voice heard these two words, and was silent for a while, gradually fading: "Whatever you think, look at the wine bags in their hands, and then dispose of them yourself......"

Shi Kun and Cai Zhixu took off at the same time and looked around, except for seeing countless pedestrians, they didn't find anything suspicious. This cultivator who left a transmission note was proficient in the art of concealment, and it was certainly easy to make a small trick on a few ordinary people.

Zhang Zhao took the wine bags in the hands of the people, and found that one of them was tied with a small piece of paper, and when it was opened, it was densely covered with small characters as thin as the tip of a needle.

"Wan Bao Zhai, He Qing. ”

"Baiqiju, Liu Changye.

"Xuanmu City, Sun Li. ”

"Qianbo, Pan Jixiang, Pan Jigui. ”

"Forbidden Lake, Fang Qiwen. ”

“......”

Except for He Qing, who died not long ago under the Giant Crystal Rune Cannon, these five well-known sect businesses all have one or several names written behind them that everyone has never heard of, according to the meaning of the person's words just now, these hundreds of seemingly ordinary names should be the dark stakes set up by the blue sky outside the sky.

"This matter needs to be cautious, if Gongzi kills them for no reason, in case he falls for that person's trick and ruins his reputation......" Gong Yeyang and Yan Hao were quite wary of this kind of conspiracy, and they felt that someone might want to use this to make Zhang Zhao have no time to pay attention to the burning of the city.

"Let's not worry about this for now, let's go to Xuanhuo City anyway. Zhang Zhao carefully memorized those names and handed the scroll of paper to Gongye Yang: "Please send someone to contact the Jiang family caravan and bring this thing back to Sifang City and hand it over to the Ruhai brothers, so that he can be on guard against those people." ”
