This is the battlefield that belongs to the South City Gate.

And Ning Haoran is the impregnable wall blocking the south city gate.

Although the monks outside the mountain are powerful, when there is a gap in the realm itself, their strong physique is no longer invincible.

Although Ning Haoran's victory was also not easy, he did not let go of any monks outside the mountain.

It's just that at this time, his brows are furrowed, as if he can't figure out something.

Ning Haoran didn't believe that there were monks outside the mountain in the capital, but when the monks outside the mountains appeared in front of him, he had to believe it, but now he had some doubts.

The horror of the monks outside the mountain was never their strong physique, but their ability to forcibly plunder the cultivator's Qi Sea Aura.

But until the death of these monks outside the mountain, they did not use this ability.

Otherwise, even if the realm of these monks outside the mountain was lower than Ning Haoran, Ning Haoran would not be able to deal with them so quickly, and it was even possible that they would be plundered of the Qi Sea Spiritual Qi and become a waste firewood.

Zhuo Bingchun, who was observing in the dark, appeared beside Ning Haoran, looked at the corpses of those monks outside the mountain, and said softly: "They are different from the monks outside the mountain that we know, it seems that there is indeed a big problem here. ”

Ning Haoran said: "Although these monks outside the mountain are very strong, they must be invincible in the same realm, but they seem to be a little weak, they should not be the kind of monks outside the mountain during the Demon Era, but a new category." ”

Zhuo Bingchun put his hands behind his back, looked at the street inside the south city gate, and said: "Maybe there is a problem with the demon suppression barrier, and the monks trapped inside can't get out, but they find a way to send out the method of plundering the aura of the qi sea, that kind of method can be easily cultivated, but the method that is sent out should not be complete, so the newborn monks outside the mountain can't plunder the aura of the qi sea as they want." ”

However, the fact that they were able to cultivate this kind of physique shows that they have plundered many righteous path monks, but there must be some kind of limitation, and it is not something that can be easily displayed. ”

Ning Haoran was surprised: "So they're just waste firewood from the monks outside the mountain?"

Zhuo Bingchun smiled and said: "It is not accurate to say that it is waste wood, after all, even if it is waste wood in the monks outside the mountain, it is only below you." ”

Ning Haoran was a little displeased, which made him feel as if he was also a waste of firewood.

Of course, you can't be a waste of firewood.

He looked inside the south city gate, his eyes were slightly condensed, and said, "The big fish is coming." ”

Immediately, he looked at Zhuo Bingchun with some confusion and said, "How could this big fish come to the South City Gate? Isn't the East City Gate, where Xie Chunfeng is located, a better choice?"

He invisibly mocked Xie Chunfeng again.

Zhuo Bingchun's expression also became a little solemn, and said: "This big fish is not a waste wood in the monks outside the mountain, he can hide in the palace for many years without being discovered, in addition to having strong skills, he also has a careful mind, and the people outside the mountain who have crossed the threshold of the five realms are really difficult." ”

According to the original plan, they wanted to capture alive the monks hiding in various corners of the capital, and hand them over to Xu Hexian for interrogation, so as to find out the identity of the big fish hiding in the palace.

But since the big fish took the initiative to appear, then the rest of the monks outside the mountain were irrelevant.

Before the battlefield at the South City Gate started, Jiang Tingyu, who was observing the situation in the palace, had already informed Zhuo Bingchun of the news of the emergence of the big fish through the transmission of the aura of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Ning Haoran had no intention of leaving him alive, and killed all the remaining monks outside the mountain.

It's just that the monks outside the mountain who are cultivating in the four realms, through contact, also know that they are indeed simple-minded goods, although they are not called idiots, but it is true that there is really no nutrition in their words except for shouting.

Pure recklessness.

It's impossible for them to know too much, and it's just a waste of time to arrest and interrogate.

Catching that big fish is the crux of the matter.

......

The most prosperous city in the world is Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, Chang'an, the capital of Wei, and Langya, the capital of Jiang, but the strongest is Langya, which is known as the first male city in the world.

Jiang Guozuo stands in the center of the continent, which is a place that must be fought for in the world.

When the city of Langya is broken, it means the demise of the Jiang country.

And as long as Langya City is there, even if the hinterland is captured, Jiang Guo will still survive, and he will even be able to regain the lost territory.

This is enough to make the people of Jiang Guo proud, although Langya is only a city, it is equivalent to the entire Jiang country, almost half of the big things in the Jiang country's cultivation world are in Langya City, and the big things in the threshold of the five realms are all able to resist thousands of troops.

In the case of monks outside the mountain, although there is a problem from within, as long as these strong people are there, Langya City is still indestructible.

At this moment, the morning sun has not risen, but His Majesty the Emperor has already woken up, and it is accurate to go to the early court.

In fact, he didn't sleep much that night.

It's just that when I was accompanying the queen mother, I couldn't help but take a nap for a while.

The Queen Mother was still asleep.

The originally ruddy and fair face is now only fair, and even the lips are pale.

His Majesty the Emperor touched the queen's face with great pity, and then turned around and stepped out of the palace with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, Courtyard Head Jiang and Dean Xue and the others have all gone to the South City Gate to catch that big fish, and at this dawn, there will definitely be good news. ”

There was an attendant waiting outside the palace, bowing his head and whispering.

His Majesty the Emperor just nodded, except for the officials involved in the operation, the court should have been on the throne for a long time, and he would not delay the government because of this matter.

......

Outside the South City Gate.

Ning Haoran stood with his sword in his hand, looked at the old man in front of him who was a little fat and wrapped in a black shirt, and said with a very strange expression: "This is really a big fish." ”

The monk hidden in the palace finally appeared, but this appearance was obviously very different from Ning Haoran's imagination.

Because of his strong physique, the monks outside the mountain should not be fat, even if they are not those who are full of meat.

And this old man's complexion is also very fair, and he is indeed a typical example of white and fat.

Come to think of it, he is very nutritious.

Bei Zangfeng, Shen Qiubai, Zhong Xiyan and Xie Chunfeng had all rushed to the south city gate.

The disciples of the various mountain sects were ready for battle.

They were also surprised by the figure of the old man in front of them.

Especially for Xie Chunfeng, the monks outside the mountain that he defeated at the East City Gate were all muscular and very large, and suddenly a fat man appeared, and he wondered if something strange had crept in.

But apart from the fact that he was plump, the cultivators present could clearly perceive the powerful aura contained in the old man's body.

"It's a big fish, and even I feel some heart palpitations. ”

Shen Qiubai was holding the Xingyun Sword in his hand, and his restrained aura was gradually rising.

At the same time, the breath of Beizangfeng, Zhong Xiyan, and Xie Chunfeng also started from scratch, and began to climb steadily, and a strong wind blew outside the south city gate in an instant.

The aura emanating from the fat monk outside the mountain was as calm and powerful as his gaze at the moment.

He silently watched the young men, and also noticed the corpses lying outside the southern city gate.

"Shen Qiubai of the Star Picking Mansion, Bei Zangfeng of the Academy, the fourth gentleman of the Palace Sword Academy, Zhong Xiyan, the chief of the Star Picking Mansion, and Xie Chunfeng, the chief of the Bushan Mountain...... This kind of lineup is the pinnacle of the younger generation of Jiang Guo monks, and it is really a great honor for me that you are here for me. ”

Zhuge Dan is the name of the fat monk outside the mountain.

Ning Haoran took a few steps forward, stood beside Bei Zangfeng, and said, "Pig cutting eggs? Your Excellency's name is really interesting. ”

Originally, Shen Qiubai and the others had not yet reacted, but when they heard Ning Haoran's words, their gaze at Zhuge Dan also became a little weird.

The name is truly chic.

Although it was only maliciously choreographed by Ning Haoran, it was really funny.

Zhuge Dan's fat face also showed a look of anger, "The old man's surname is Zhuge again, a single name is a Dan character, such an elegant name, it is actually distorted by you like this, young people don't know how to respect their elders!"

Ning Haoran smiled and said: "I have always respected the elders very much, but this does not include you, I have always heard that the monks outside the mountain are all simple-minded, and those guys who were killed by me didn't say a few words, but they are not real, and now I really feel this in you." ”

Bei Zangfeng was still holding his book, although his breath had climbed to the extreme, he didn't seem to have a little nervousness before the big war, and he didn't think it was funny for Ning Haoran's ridicule of Zhuge Dan's name, but he felt that the night was still a little dark, which affected his reading a lot.

Shen Qiubai said with a light smile: "I just know that the sword of sword cultivation is very sharp, but it turns out that the mouth is also very powerful. ”

Xie Chunfeng said coldly: "Ning Haoran is just very naïve. ”

Zhong Xiyan shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Fourth is a man of temperament, in addition to sword cultivation, he follows more of his own intentions, I am a little envious of him, he can say anything naturally, and he is not afraid of offending people at all." Of course, there is nothing to offend the monks outside the mountain. ”

Ning Haoran is the proudest in the Palace Sword Academy, because he often appears in the eyes of the world, in the case of the third senior sister not going out of the mountain gate, and the senior brother is dedicated to cultivation, Ning Haoran often represents the face of the Palace Sword Academy.

He naturally wanted to show the demeanor of sword cultivation to the greatest extent possible.

Ning Haoran is not naïve, but he can't say how steady he is.

He can be a good baby in front of the teacher, and of course, he can also show his strongest side in front of the world.

Although Zhuge Dan is a powerful monk outside the mountain who is guessed to have crossed the threshold of the Five Realms, he obviously cares a lot about the name, because it is easy to be misunderstood, and he can endure it in anything, but the fact that someone makes fun of him with his name is absolutely unbearable.

"I hereby sentence you to death!"

Zhuge Dan's fair fat face was a little more ruddy, and his voice suddenly became sharp, his voice seemed to be an indestructible sword, directly breaking through the night, like a sword net, shrouded towards Ning Haoran and the others.

The birds, which woke up in the early hours of the morning, hoped that there would be insects to eat them, but they were startled by the sharp breath, as if they had lost all their senses, flapping their wings and crashing around, and their terrible chirps were sharp.

Ning Haoran's face turned slightly pale, although Zhuge Dan's voice was sharp like a sword, it was actually not really a sword, it was just the suppression of the weak by the terrifying aura released from him, judging from this aura alone, it was enough to crush Ning Haoran to death.

Zhong Xiyan and Xie Chunfeng were no better, their faces were pale, and their bodies shook subconsciously, if they weren't determined, they would inevitably retreat.

The rest of the disciples who followed from the various mountain gates did not have such perseverance or cultivation to resist, and their faces not only turned pale, but they also fell backwards one after another, unable to stand up again.

"Jian Xiu is really good at attracting hatred, but for those who are affected by the pond fish, it is too unlucky. ”

Some people can't help but secretly slander, but Ning Haoran is his own person after all, and they can't blame him regardless of the occasion.

When the scene was a little out of control, only Shen Qiubai and Beizang Feng stood still.

Of course, this also includes Zhuo Bingchun, who has been standing by and watching the play.

On the side of the mountain road leading to the palace sword courtyard outside the south city gate, there is an ancient tree, Zhuo Bingchun leans against the trunk of the tree, it seems that he is old, once he stands for a long time, he feels a little sore back, and when the powerful and sharp breath like a sword comes to the surface, Zhuo Da is just rubbing his waist, sighing in his mouth.

Beizang Feng was still holding his book, his head slightly lowered, and the sharp aura like a sword scraped across his body, and his clothes were blown by the hunting sound, and his hair was flying, as if he did not react because he felt Zhuge Dan's powerful aura, but because he couldn't read the book steadily.

He raised his eyes to look at Zhuge Dan, and said in a low tone: "What a strong breath." ”

Shen Qiubai stood with his sword in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly because of the sharp breath, and the white-clothed Shengxue fluttered, like a god of war, and said: "This is the monk outside the mountain who has crossed the threshold of the Five Realms, although the aura is powerful, but it is very chaotic, after all, it is forcibly plundering other people's qi sea aura, I seem to be a little excited." ”

Beizang Feng rolled up the book in his hand and put it in the placket of his chest, and said, "I can't read the book properly." ”

Shen Qiubai looked at him with a smile and said, "Although I don't understand why you can't finish the book you've been reading for several years, it's really not the time to read quietly, we don't seem to have fought side by side." ”

Beizangfeng said: "Because I have read it many times, in fact, I finished reading this book on the first day, but this book is very interesting, and I have been reluctant to let go." ”

Shen Qiubai only shook his head slightly at Bei Zangfeng's disregard for his so-called words of fighting side by side, and asked curiously, "Then what kind of book are you reading?"

The book in Beizangfeng's hand has always been a mystery.

Because there is no name on the cover of this book, and except for Beizangfeng, no second person has read the contents of the book.

Bei Zangfeng did not hesitate and said: "It is a certain volume in the "Vertical and Horizontal Volume", and everyone in the world should have seen it. ”

Shen Qiubai was very surprised and said: "Is it the "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll" written by that Yiren with the pen name Tang Hongyu? Isn't it recorded by the younger generation of accomplished cultivators in the world? It's not a storybook, right? And there is no reason to talk about it, although you are a swordsman, you are a disciple of the academy, and you can be regarded as half a scholar, how can you like to read this kind of book?"

Bei Zangfeng thought about it seriously and said: "The content in the "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll" is very interesting, and the author Tang Hongyu seems to know me very well, there are many things about me in the book, I am actually not very interested in anything, this book is the only thing that interests me, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I can find myself, which is a very interesting thing in itself." ”

Beizang Feng did seem to have a great interest in this matter, and then said: "The author of this book also took the young practitioners he recorded as the protagonists, and they all wrote a separate volume, but they were never shown to the world, and I was fortunate enough to get a volume, which recorded my story. ”

Shen Qiubai's stunned expression gradually turned into a smile, and said: "This is indeed very interesting, in this way, there should also be a side roll with me as the protagonist, it seems that I should also look for it." ”

Beizang Feng said: "There are a lot of them in the academy, I don't know if there is a description of you, you can find it yourself when you have time." ”

The academy contains many books in the world, even the ancient books that are difficult to find, and even have been extinct, are available in the academy library, which has been brought back by countless ancestors when they walked in the world.

"Hey, have you two talked enough?

Ning Haoran, who bore the brunt of Zhuge Dan's sharp sword-like aura, finally couldn't help but interrupt the inexplicable conversation between Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng.

Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng quickly returned to a serious appearance.

Although Beizangfeng's calm face has never passed by.

However, at this moment, Zhuge Dan seemed to suddenly notice something, and the sharp aura dissipated in the wilderness, and he turned his head to look at the street inside the south city gate.

There was a moment of silence.

That sharp aura climbed again.

Zhuge Dan looked at the empty street with a solemn face, "Since you're here, why bother pretending to be a ghost and show up!"

The streets of the city remained silent.

Shen Qiubai and the others didn't speak, and they all sensed the extremely faint aura.

Because it is extremely restrained, it seems weak.

This does not mean that the comer is really weak.

And there is more than one breath.

At this time, Zhuo Bingchun, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree, finally took a deep breath and muttered, "It's time to open the net and catch the big fish." ”

At some point, just before dawn, a dark cloud drifted in, obscuring the faint light again.

The wind is up.

Then three figures descended from the sky.

An old man in a green shirt.

A handsome man in a white shirt.

A middle-aged man with a solemn face in a dark robe.

The dean of the Imperial Sword Academy, Xue forgot to worry.

The head of the Heavenly Council, Jiang Tingyu.

The head of the Xuan Zheng Division, Xu Hexian.

It was quiet outside the South City Gate.

Shen Qiubai and the others looked clear.

Zhuge Dan looked at the three people who fell from the sky with a solemn face, and the aura emanating from their bodies was very powerful.

In addition to the middle-aged man in the Xuanfu, the most fearful of him were the old man in the green shirt and the man in the white shirt.

It was an innate sense of oppression at a high level.
