Chapter 10: Zhao's Mission
Chapter 10: Zhao's Mission
The Mingxuan Mountains span three major counties from north to south, in turn they are Qianlu County, Chijian County, and Qianyang County, in fact, the southernmost part of the Mingxuan Mountains has been more than 100 miles away from Qianyang County to Nanlin County. Mingxuan Town is located in the south of Qianyang County.
The Mingxuan Mountains are nearly 3,000 miles long-and-south and can barely be called large mountain ranges, most of which are forests, canyons, lakes and other landscapes. Because the town of Mingxuan Town was established relatively early, it was cheaper to pick up a name. It is known as "Myeonggenzhen." ”
More than a few hundred miles away from Mingxuan Town is Qingyang City, the largest city in the south of Qianyang County. In Feng Qi's memory, Qingyang City is a behemoth, because there are many masters in it, and some of those people are existences that can fly in the sky, all of them are giants, and if you stomp your feet, Mingxuan Town can be destroyed. Feng Qi didn't know, in fact, those people were already above the psychic realm and had reached the Tengyun realm.
At this time, inside Qingyang City, the pavement paved with big blue stone slabs appears clean and deep, and at the end of the bluestone slab road, there is a luxurious building and magnificent mansion. I saw a few golden characters "City Lord's Mansion" dancing directly above the gate, and there were stone lions with a height of each person on the left and right outside the gate......
The gaze moved inward, through many halls, to an inner hall in the center, through the layers of pearls connected by the curtains, inside a middle-aged man with extraordinary equipment was sitting upright.
This middle-aged man is dressed in a purple robe, with eight-character eyebrows, and his body exudes the breath of a person who has been in the top position for a long time.
At this time, a subordinate dressed as a housekeeper outside the hall shouted loudly to the inner room: "Tell the city lord, Master Zhang asks to see you." ”
This man in purple is the Xue City Lord of Qingyang City, named Xue Jingzhou. Hearing the butler's voice, he didn't raise his head and said, "Let him in." "What is Master Zhang looking for him?
Master Zhang is the chief array mage of his Qingyang City, and he is also the first product of Qingyang City. On weekdays, he tinkered with some formations, helped strengthen the formations in and out of the city, or was invited by other forces to cast spells, but he rarely came to visit him. What's the matter with coming to him at this time?
After a while, a white-haired old man came in from outside the door, of medium stature, but his face was really good, giving people a capable feeling.
Without waiting for him to ask, City Lord Xue said solemnly: "Master Zhang, what do you want to see?"
When Master Zhang saw the real helmsman of Qingyang City, he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a sincere attitude at the moment: "City Lord, don't hide it, there is indeed a big matter. ”
"Oh, what's the big deal?"
"City Lord, do you still remember the great power that appeared in the Mingxuan Mountain Range three hundred years ago?"
As soon as he heard this, City Lord Xue's pupils shrank, and he said with a serious face: "Master Zhang, what happened, tell me quickly?"
Master Zhang also knew that this matter was very important, so he said directly: "City Lord, the formation that was left by the great power to refine demon beasts is already on the verge of collapse?"
"What, is this really true? Didn't you say that the formation would only dissipate after five hundred years?, why would it be on the verge of collapse now?"
"Presumably the city lord still remembers the Sense Array Rune Stone that the great power left for Qingyang City. This rune stone is mysterious and abnormal, thousands of miles away, any situation in the formation can be sensed carefully. Since the old man served as the chief formation mage of Qingyang City, everything about the runes has been business as usual. However, yesterday's rune stone light flickered, and then it became more and more dim, there were signs of shattering, I checked again today, and found that the rune stone was on the verge of shattering, so I came to inform the city lord. Master Zhang said with a solemn face.
Upon hearing this, City Lord Xue frowned, he thought at first that it was a trivial matter. At the moment, he also paid attention to it, and while pacing, he analyzed: "This rune stone is generally on the verge of shattering, which is a precursor to the formation that is about to collapse on its own, that is a normal phenomenon. But it took five hundred years for the great formation in the southern part of the Mingxuan Mountain Range to dissipate, and now it's only three hundred years?"
Master Zhang listened to City Lord Xue's analysis, nodded and said, "Although the City Lord and the old man don't know the way of this rune, this rune stone shattering is indeed a sign that the formation is about to dissipate. But why did this formation dissipate on its own right now?"
City Lord Xue seemed to have grasped something from Master Zhang's words, turned around, and said with a serious face: "Isn't it, that demon beast has regained its strength and wants to forcibly break through this formation?"
"Old man, I used to doubt it so much, but with that powerful ability, it is impossible for that demon beast to recover......"
City Lord Xue hurriedly interrupted this, patted Master Zhang's shoulder and said, "Hey, Master Zhang can't be absolute, as we all know, the vitality of this demon beast is extremely tenacious, and it is not impossible to have such a possibility." ”
Master Zhang loved to admit death in his life, and he had a drilling energy, relying on this drilling energy, so the formation can be good. At this time, when he heard the city lord's analysis, he no longer argued, and the tone of his words changed, "City lord, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
City Lord Xue also felt that this matter was tricky, if it was really the strength of the demon beast that recovered, the people of Qingyang City were not enough for the demon beast to see, although the demon beast had not been seen by the City Lord Xue, but it could attract a high-level character, it was definitely not simple, at least he couldn't parry the seventh level of the Tengyun Realm.
Master Zhang looked at City Lord Xue and took a deep breath, and said with a solemn face: "It seems that it can only be solved by the people in the county, if the demon beast is not dead and its strength is one step closer, this time my Qingyang City will definitely be bleeding." ”
"Old decay doesn't want the worst to happen. But if things do get to that point, it will only increase the casualties. Master Zhang sighed.
City Lord Xue returned to the soft and luxurious chair at this time, flicked his sleeves, and shouted out the window, "Let Commander Zhao come to see me." The servant outside the door answered, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Not long after, a burly middle-aged man wearing armor, nine feet tall and resolute, entered the house, first looked around, stayed on Master Zhang for a while, then turned his gaze to City Lord Xue, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "I don't know, what is the matter with the City Lord looking for his subordinates?"
City Lord Xue got up and walked towards Commander Zhao, smiling, "Commander Zhao, you're welcome." I invite you to come over today, but there is one thing, and Master Zhang will tell you in detail. ”
When Commander Zhao first came in, he thought that it was probably related to Master Zhang, and after hearing the words of City Lord Xue, he turned his eyes to Master Zhang, and said with a puzzled expression: "Master Zhang, what is the matter?"
Master Zhang paused, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "General Zhao, you must also know about the powerful suppression of demon beasts in the Mingxuan Mountains three hundred years ago. Afterwards, the great power left behind a sense array runestone, but today the old man found that the rune stone was about to shatter, which was not a good sign. The shattering of the rune stone is a precursor to the collapse of the great array, once the large array collapses, the demon beasts inside will run out, and then our Qingyang City will be more auspicious!"
Commander Zhao's eyes were deep, what kind of people are this power, this world is divided into the Alien Realm, the Transformation Qi Realm, the Psychic Realm, the Tengyun Realm, the True Yuan Realm, the Ming Dao Realm, the Guiyi Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm, the Creation Realm, the Tianzun Realm, and the Holy Emperor Realm. It is not a cultivator who has reached the realm of oneness, not to mention Qingyang City, even if it is Qianyang County, for Feng Qi and them, such a character is a legend. In short, in a word, the mighty are very human.
So what is the strength of the demon beast that can cause the powerful suppression, at this time. Commander Zhao didn't dare to imagine that if it was really as Master Zhang said, then it was still a question whether Qingyang City could exist. They can still get out of the way, but these civilians are going to die in vain.
So, Commander Zhao looked at City Lord Xue and said righteously: "Please also ask the City Lord for advice, what should your subordinates do?"
Lord Xue said, "Commander Zhao, don't worry. That's the worst, but we have to be vigilant. Therefore, I summoned you this time to let you hold the seal of my city lord's mansion, go north to the county king's mansion, explain this matter to the county king, and ask him to send someone to defend, and it is best to get a talisman to come to help. ”
When Commander Zhao heard about it, he also knew that this matter was important, so he immediately said: "My subordinates will leave and go to the county government of Qianyang County." ”
"Wait, the stakes are high. You've just broken through to the Ascending Cloud Stage, and flying for a long time consumes a lot of spiritual power. I will allow you to ride in front of my mount, the Blazing Cloud Crane, but this beast has a violent temperament, so you should be careful. In addition, I will give you three more messengers, which can be transmitted within a radius of 2,000 miles, so use them with caution. City Lord Xue said cautiously.
After listening to it, Master Zhang carefully analyzed, and then interjected, "Commander Zhao, this round trip must not be delayed, you have three days at most, and the time may be tighter." ”
Commander Zhao shook the sword on his waist slightly, bowed down, and bowed lightly towards the Xue City Lord.
"City Lord, my subordinates will not fail in their mission!"
After Commander Zhao finished speaking, the sword body seemed to feel the emotions of the master, and there was a buzzing noise, and a terrifying fluctuation emanated for a long time.
