Chapter 432: Crying Without Tears!
"Are you sure you want to go to the Ten Directions Martial Arts Arena?"
Zhong Shaoqiang asked in disbelief, "Do you want to fight me to the death?"
"I came to Jiangnan City this time to send my sect's disciples over to participate in the Qinglong Academy Admissions Competition, but I didn't come to kill people. β
Xiong Ba said disdainfully: "Moreover, the Shifang Martial Arts Fighting Platform is the only place in Jiangnan City that is not subject to the law and can allow martial artists to fight freely, if you don't go there, are you still fighting on this street?"
"Okay, I'll fulfill you. β
Zhong Shaoqiang immediately understood what Xiong Ba meant, and said coldly: "Then let's use the teleportation spirit array in Dongcheng District together." β
Xiong Ba mocked: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to escape?"
Zhong Shaoqiang joked: "That maybe, a person who doesn't even admit to losing, I won't believe him a second time." β
"You wait, I'll have to fight you all over the ground to find teeth. β
Seeing that Zhong Shaoqiang kept emphasizing the fact that he accidentally lost, but did not admit that Qiu Feng sneak attacked, Xiong was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"Third brother, I'll go with this group of shameless things, you can go about your own business, you don't need to accompany me. β
Xiong Ba turned around and came to Qin Lang's face, revealing a harmless smile.
"I'd better go with you. β
Glancing at the expressionless Qiu Feng, Qin Lang's eyes flashed, and he spoke.
He always felt that this old man named Qiu Feng was a little abnormal in his composure, maybe there was something to say about the conspiracy, and Xiong Ba might suffer.
Xiong Ba Yizheng: "What are you going to do? This is a personal grudge between me and the Spirit Sword Palace, and it has nothing to do with you." β
"Stinky bear, idol is worried about your safety, you can't even see this?"
Luo Xiao said angrily: "I just said earlier that your brain has become smarter, and your eloquence is not bad, why are you stupid again?"
"What a joke, I can't beat that Zhong, you don't have to worry about me ...... at all."
Xiong smiled domineeringly.
But when his eyes fell on Qin Lang's face, he found that Qin Lang was looking at him indifferently, and suddenly his throat shrugged, and when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
"Zhang Shengnan. β
Qin Lang threw the Ninety-Five Supreme in his hand, which was about to finish, to the ground and stomped on the cigarette butt with his foot.
"Do you think you're your personal maid and order me again?"
Zhang Shengnan's good-looking eyes quietly winked at Qin Lang, and the corners of his mouth lifted a touch of playfulness.
"Don't make a fuss, get down to business. β
Qin Lang was full of black lines, and looked up at the sky that was about to darken: "It's almost night now, He Jie and his family of three have been in the inn with my stepfather all day, and I don't know if they have any money on them, whether they have eaten or not, you buy more food, go back with Ku'er first, and we will go back when we go." β
He knew that Zhang Shengnan was still angry about what happened in the middle of the night last night, but for the personal safety of Xiong Ba, he felt that he had to accompany him in person, and by the way, supervise the people of the Spirit Sword Palace.
"Okay. β
When Zhang Shengnan heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of these words, and a trace of grief appeared in his eyes, and he reluctantly said: "Then you have to come back early." β
The resentful eyes were like a resentful woman who was snubbed by her beloved, Qin Lang's scalp was numb when she saw it, and the hairs on her body stood up.
"Zhang Shengnan shouldn't ...... Qin Lang"
Hu Yingjun took the wine gourd, looked at Zhang Shengnan's unusual attitude towards Qin Lang, and thought about it.
"That's enough money for you yesterday, right?"
Qin Lang's heart tightened, and he directly ignored Zhang Shengnan's pitiful.
"It's enough. β
Zhang Shengnan turned his delicate body and grabbed Ku'er's little hand: "Ku'er, let's go shopping, wait for your male sister to buy you a lot of delicious food." β
"Hmm. β
Ku'er nodded slightly, glanced at Qin Lang reluctantly, and stepped into the carriage with Zhang Shengnan.
"Stay safe on the way back. β
Qin Lang didn't forget to instruct.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child. β
In the carriage, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.
Immediately afterwards, the groom drove the carriage down the street at Hu Yingjun's signal.
"Let's go. β
Qin Lang took a step and took the lead in walking towards a certain direction in Dongcheng District.
"Not leaving?"
Xiong Ba turned his head, shouted at a group of Spirit Sword Palace people led by Qiu Feng, and followed behind Qin Lang.
Luo Xiao and Hu Yingjun, as well as Zong Bao, followed.
"Who's that kid?"
Seeing Xiong Ba in front of Qin Lang, he didn't seem to dare to be too casual, Qiu Feng's eyes narrowed.
He sincerely felt that it was not Xiong Ba who had the final say in Xiong Ba's group of people, but this pupil was red and silver, which was different from ordinary Qin Lang.
He has traveled a lot from south to north, and has met many people, and he can judge this person's character from the appearance of others at a glance.
When he focused his attention on Qin Lang at this moment, he didn't know why, and he had an extreme rejection of Qin Lang for no reason.
"I haven't seen it, the disciples of the Backing Mountain Sect are relatively strong, looking at him, he shouldn't be a member of the Backing Mountain Sect, probably a child of the Jiangnan City family. β
Zhong Shaoqiang shook his head: "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, I'm competing with Xiong Ba, even if he has any background, he can't interfere in the affairs of the Ten Directions Competition." β
"That's right. β
Qiu Feng let go of the worries in his heart: "Then let's go." β
"Good. β
Zhong Shaoqiang waved his hand to a group of Spirit Sword Palace disciples and followed.
Qin Lang and the five of them took the lead in front, followed by a group of Spirit Sword Palace disciples in blue clothes, and walked in a certain direction in Dongcheng District.
Qiu Feng is a one-star martial king, plus Xiong Ba and Zhong Shaoqiang are both seven-star martial arts sects, such a formation is rare.
Suddenly, the people on the street were frightened and hurriedly made way of the way.
At the same time, many passers-by also noticed the anomaly here, and they all turned their heads to the streetβ
"Huh...... This seems to be someone from the Spirit Sword Palace, right? What are they doing here?"
"What are you doing? Go to the ten-way competition platform to duel. β
"Huh?"
"Ahh β
ββ
Originally, many uninformed people heard that these two groups of people were going to duel, and they followed them with curiosity.
At this time, Luo Xiao's spirit moved, he opened his throat arrogantly, and shouted: "Come on, come on, come and see the duel, the backing mountain sect is fighting against the Spirit Sword Palace, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again." β
"This stinky boy. β
Qin Lang's eyelids twitched.
"Hahaha...... The more people there are, the more lively they are. β
Xiong Ba laughed loudly: "With so many people witnessing, if the Spirit Sword Palace loses, when the time comes, it will be useless for them to deny it." β
Hu Yingjun and Zong Bao glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.
In this way, under Luo Xiao's vigorous shouting, the team of less than twenty people turned into a long line of thousands of people.
Everywhere they passed, the whole street was filled with chickens and dogs.
Almost everyone has the attitude of watching the excitement and not thinking it is a big deal, and wants to see who is stronger and who is weak in the backing mountain sect and the spirit sword palace.
After less than an hour, Qin Lang stopped in a place in Dongcheng District and looked fixedly.
In front of him, there was an empty field, the size of a football field, and there were crowds of people everywhere.
And at the front of the clearing, there are soldiers of the city guard battalion who are recording what and maintaining law and order.
But it was not these people who attracted him, but a five-pointed star with a circle pattern of 500 meters on the ground in front of the soldiers.
In the pentagram, there are many complex patterns crisscrossing them, but there seems to be a mysterious connection, which looks very strange and obscure.
"Level 5 two-way teleportation spirit array. β
The corners of Qin Lang's mouth raised.
The purpose of having such a spiritual array teleportation is to make it convenient for the people and outsiders in Jiangnan City to travel back and forth.
After all, Jiangnan City is too big!
Walking from the east to the west, if it is an ordinary person who has no cultivation, he will not be able to walk for three days and three nights, and if he is replaced by some martial arts powerhouses with fast feet, it will take most of the day, because the city of Jiangnan is rich and rich.
In order to be sympathetic to the people, the City Lord's Mansion specially spent a lot of money to invite a fifth-level spirit array master to arrange the spirit array.
The first-level teleportation spirit array has 10,000 meters, and the fifth-level has 50,000 meters, so that everyone's time on traveling and traveling will not be wasted.
You must know that more than seventy percent of people can't afford to hire a carriage without using the spirit array's teleportation, so the teleportation spirit array has become their most convenient means of transportation.
It's just that there are certain special requirements for using the teleportation spirit array.
First of all, the first one, that is to queue up.
There are more than millions, or even tens of millions, who can use the teleportation spirit array every day, and if you line up casually, you have to wait for most of the day.
Moreover, queuing here will not only make people upset, but if you meet some people with a bad temper, once you stand for a long time, you can't help but get angry, bringing unnecessary trouble to the people around you, which is why he likes to use a carriage to travel.
The second is to pay the money.
The teleportation spirit array needs to rely on the spirit source to maintain its operation, and the spirit source needs to be bought.
Even if the imperial court will allocate a lot of spiritual sources to Jiangnan City every year, it is still very small that the far water cannot save the near fire.
And if the spirit array is used too frequently, it will also directly damage the spirit array compass where the spirit array is arranged.
Once the Spirit Array compass is broken, the Spirit Array can no longer be used without the repair of the Spirit Array Master.
But to hire a fifth-level spirit array master, it costs a huge amount of wealth, and in order to make up for this money, the City Lord's Mansion has no choice but to charge a certain amount of wear and tear fees from the people.
Of course!
Ordinary people who don't have cultivation can't afford such a large amount of money at all, so ordinary people don't have to pay a penny, but they can only limit teleportation twice a day, that is, one back and forth.
As for the warriors, they have to pay 1,000 gold coins for each use, and there is no limit to the number of times.
"It's no wonder that Jiangnan City will become the only first-class city in Dongzhou, and it is not for nothing. β
Qin Lang thought of the key point and laughed.
Different levels of teleportation spirit arrays also have certain restrictions on the number of people who can be teleported at one time.
The first-level teleportation spirit array covers a range of 100 meters, and can only teleport a hundred people at most, while the fifth-level spirit array can teleport 500 people.
Once the number of teleportation arrays exceeds the specified amount, the weight of the spirit array compass that maintains the operation of the teleportation array underground will be increased, and the spirit array compass will be reimbursed in advance.
And if one person pays 1,000 gold coins, 500 is 500,000, and if he transmits 100 times a day, at least 50 million, it is simply a rich flow of oil.
Moreover, this is still a conservative estimate, and how much you can really earn is only known by the people of the City Lord's Mansion.
But relying on the daily entrance fee and the money paid by using the teleportation spirit array, it is estimated that there are 100 million gold coins every day.
"The question is, how do we get there?
Looking at the endless dragon at a glance, Xiong Ba was a little anxious.
Qin Lang frowned: "This is indeed a problem. β
"You seem to have forgotten that I existed?"
Luo Xiao raised his chin and said something unstoppable.
"You?"
Qin Lang's eyes flashed: "Do you want to use your father Luo Qian's identity as the commander of the city guard battalion to let them make an exception for us to cut the queue and use the spirit array first?"
The corners of Luo Xiao's mouth raised, and he said calmly: "Idol, then do you have any other good way?"
Qin Lang smiled but said nothing.
"You see, you still have to rely on me at the most critical time. β
Luo Xiao stood up: "Look at me." β
"Don't force it, forget it if you can't. β
Qin Lang smiled faintly.
Luo Qian is Luo Xiao's father, but with Luo Qian's impartial personality, he will never allow his son to use his name outside and make a big flag as a tiger skin.
If Luo Qian knew what Luo Xiao had done today, he would definitely beat Luo Xiao up.
"Look. β
Luo Xiao confidently walked to the front.
Qin Lang stood far away, ready to watch Luo Xiao's performance.
Luo Xiao came to a general who seemed to be the leader, and the general hugged Luo Xiao very respectfully.
Immediately after, Luo Xiao didn't know what to say in his ear, and after listening, the general glanced at their position, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he still nodded stubbornly.
Seeing that this general knew how to be a man, Luo Xiao patted the general's shoulder as if the leader appreciated his subordinates, and then waved at them.
"Let's go. β
Qin Lang walked over with Xiong Ba and the three of them.
Zhong Shaoqiang glanced at Qiu Feng, and under his nod, he also followed with a group of disciples from the Spirit Sword Palace.
"Hey, hey, hey...... How do they cut the line?"
"That is, they can all cut the line, what else are we in line?"
"I've seen that person, that person seems to be the son of Luo Qian, the commander of the city guard battalion, called Luo Hexiao. β
"What's the matter, it's great if you have a relationship?
ββ
Seeing that Qin Lang and a group of people from the Spirit Sword Palace were inserted at the front of the line, the people in the back queue stopped doing it, and they became indignant.
For a while, the chaotic complaints and shouts resounded throughout the audience.
"Shut up!"
Luo Xiao shouted, and the aura of the overlord was suddenly revealed, causing all the restless people to immediately stop chattering.
"Do you see the group of people around me, do you know what they're going to do?"
Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, Luo Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "They went to the Shifang Martial Arts Arena to duel, do you know what a duel means? β
"What does your duel have to do with us?"
As soon as these words came out, the same thought popped up in the hearts of all the people in line, and inexplicably, they all looked at Qin Lang and the people of the Spirit Sword Palace, whispering.
"What is the nature of the dead, do you know? If you die, you can't live, and if you can't live, you have no hope. β
Luo Xiao shouted in grief: "This is probably the last time they will use the Teleportation Spirit Array, don't you even want to deprive them of this power? Can't you send them to death generously?"
Seeing that Luo Xiao was about to cry, everyone's faces became even more strange.
"Discredited!"
Qin Lang held his forehead and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"It's over, now the old bear who was messed up by him has lost his face. β
Xiong Ba's old face turned red, and he covered his face directly, ashamed and eager to find a crack to get into it immediately.
"Knowing him was a big failure in my life. β
Hu Yingjun looked down directly at the ground, for fear that others would recognize him.
"Hehe......"
Zong Bao's mouth smiled crookedly.
A group of people from the Spirit Sword Palace, including Zhong Shaoqiang and Qiu Feng, were stupid, and they were all messy.
"You can't cut the queue either. β
At this time, in the middle of the line, a mediocre-looking young man suddenly muttered.
Although the voice was not loud, it fell into Luo Xiao's ears very clearly, making his face immediately cold.
"Are you going to the Ten Directions Martial Arts Arena?"
As soon as Luo Xiaoyi saw that someone was so unreasonable, he walked in front of him with a cold face.
"What am I doing there?"
Seeming to be a little afraid of Luo Xiao's identity, the young man took a step back in fear.
"The people behind you are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? Are you in a hurry to find death?"
Luo Xiao said coldly: "You still have a lot of youth, but once they get on the competition platform, it is equivalent to losing half of their lives, today may be the last day of their lives, can't you even satisfy their little wish to seek death?"
As soon as the voice fell, ninety percent of the people in the queue were about to burst into laughter.
Feeling the strange gazes around him, the young man seemed to be on his back, and suddenly lowered his head: "I won't speak, let them use the spirit array quickly, let them die quickly." β
"What about you?"
Luo Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, and looked at the people who were queuing: "Are you going to die too?" If that's the case, I can also be accommodating and let you die first." β
"No, I don't want to die. β
"Yes, yes, you're welcome, go and die. β
"Yes, we'll let you use the teleportation array first, hurry up. β
"Yes, don't waste time, we won't send it, you go slowly, don't worry. β
ββ
When the people who were dissatisfied before heard this, their faces turned purple with fright, and they all subconsciously stepped back and shook their heads.
"Isn't that all there is to it?"
Luo Xiao came to Qin Lang's side, lowered his voice, and laughed sheepishly.
Qin Lang wanted to cry without tears, and closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, he wanted to strangle Luo Xiao to death!
Xiong Ba is obviously purely going to duel, not a life-and-death battle, how can it be as serious as Luo Qian's exaggeration?
What's more, he just wanted to supervise the people of the Spirit Sword Palace, in case they played some tricks against Xiong Ba like yesterday.
His current status is at best a bystander, okay?
Need to die?
Moreover, the excuse for cutting the queue was so high-sounding and compassionate, which made him feel that the good image he had built up with great difficulty was ruined all of a sudden.
However, he could understand why Luo Xiao would choose such a method that was not an option.
After all, most of these people didn't know Luo Xiao in the first place, if Luo Xiao didn't use this kind of bad idea to fool this group of people, they would definitely not be willing to let Xiong Ba cut the line with him, and maybe it would cause public anger.
At that time, even if Luo Qian is here, it may not be easy.
Moreover, through this matter, he has already made a decision in his heart.
In the future, even if you encounter any tricky things, you can't let Luo Xiao come forward to solve them!
What this thing has done is simply driving people crazy!
At the end of the day, you can't fucking blame him!
It's so aggrieved!
"What are you waiting for?"
General Luo Xiaochong gave a look.
The general came back to his senses and immediately asked Qin Lang and his party and the people of the Spirit Sword Palace to pay the money.
Obediently handed over the money, counted the heads, and after gathering five hundred people, everyone stood in the center of the fifth-level teleportation spirit array according to the instructions of the soldiers of the city guard battalion.
Seeing that everything was ready, the general held a bronze circular spirit array compass and reached out and tapped it in the middle of the compass.
The fifth-level teleportation spirit array seemed to have some kind of special induction with the spirit array compass, and a strange white light flashed from the lines on the ground.
Immediately afterward, white rays of light, like a gossamer, began to cross along each stripe.
When all the white lines are lit up and converge to the position of the pentagram in the middle, the pentagram spun rapidly, and suddenly the light shines brightly, shining in all directions.
Rumble!
A pillar of light with a size of 500 meters soared into the sky, like a giant pillar of optimus, breaking through the sky.
And when the white light dissipated, the five hundred disappeared in place.
