The Azure City is the capital of the Tianshui Empire. Since 3,500 years ago, Zuihou had a great war between good and evil, and the national strength of the Zhengyuan Empire was greatly damaged, and the internal masters were divided into factions, and the external vassal countries were ready to move, so that they fell apart.

In order to resist the invasion of evil masters, the imperial royal family lost more than a dozen royal masters, and even a large number of elite royal families also died on the battlefield, which can be said to be indispensable. On Zhengyuan Dalu, everything depends on strength to speak. The weak may receive mercy, but under the magic of time, the final result of mercy can only be cruel. Because, behind that weak person there is a piece of fat that he can't protect but occupies, which is also the biggest reason for the division of the empire.

In the following hundred years, the army stationed outside the fan to protect the northern barbarian tribes rebelled against the empire under the leadership of a master priest. The Heng family, which was stationed in the eastern part of the empire, took advantage of the situation to become independent and devoured the forty-six cities in the east. Coupled with the decline of the royal family at that time, the imperial power fell into the hands of villains. In the face of the rebellion, they panicked and put out fires everywhere, not only did they not suppress the rebels, but instead spread the flames of war to more than 30 core cities in the interior of the empire, causing the people to suffer unspeakably under the poison.

In the end, when the Zhengyuan Empire was about to fall, the founding emperor of the Tianshui Empire, Shui Pang Shenshi, stepped forward in danger. Coupled with the strong support of the Shili Zhang family, which had been inherited for thousands of years at that time, it took three years to quell the rebellion in various places. Later, on behalf of the royal family of the Zhengyuan Empire, Shui Pang signed a three-country contract with the Heng family of the Hengfeng Empire and the Shan family of the Shanlan Empire, and distributed all the surrounding small and affiliated countries.

The Heng family is based in the eastern part of the Zhengyuan Empire, bounded by the Blood Sea Forest, and dominates one side. In the next fifty years, the Shanjia will gradually conquer the barbarian tribes completely, and occupy the entire northern region of the Zhengyuan Empire with the Desperate Swamp as the boundary. And the high-ranking Shui Pang naturally replaced the orthodox throne of the Zhengyuan Empire and changed the name of the country to Tianshui. Based in the central part of the empire, the most prosperous part of the empire, a magnificent empire was established that lasted for 16 generations.

A thousand years after the three empires became at their peak, the Tianshui Empire and the Hengfeng Empire broke out several large-scale battles because of the problems of border vassal states and the ownership of the Blood Sea Forest and the Broken Soul Mountain Range. As a result, they have become mortal enemies for generations. Immediately, the two countries joined forces with the Shanlan Empire on a small scale and went to war with each other. But the Shanlan Empire, which is located in a remote corner, is quite modest, and everything is for the sake of profit. It has never pressed the other side too tightly in the alliance, which is also the origin of the three empires for thousands of years.

Approaching more than 800 years, because of the rise of the Great Cult of the Shanlan Empire, the royal family was gradually elevated, but Dalu suddenly fell into silence, as for the real reason behind it, few people know. However, at this point, although conflicts broke out on the border between the Tianshui Empire and the Hengfeng Empire from time to time, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding and tried their best to suppress them. Ordinary people think that such peace is coming, but many discerning people know in their hearts that this calm may be a harbinger of an earth-shattering storm. Because, during this period, the Hengfeng Empire came to get closer and closer to the evil master family

The blue capital is surrounded by mountains for a hundred miles and faces three mountains, and is now called Tianshui Three Mountains. The three mountain ranges aren't too big. However, the Zhengyuan Empire has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and its royal family has given birth to many outstanding masters in the middle of the way, and in order to enhance the protective ability of the imperial capital, it has expanded the scale of the Three Mountains several times by means of defying the sky. After a long period of manpower changes, the three mountains of Tianshui have become a mountain system of their own, and the three mountain blades near the empire are no less than a thousand feet, making the Azure City extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only one way to get to the Empire, and you have to go through the only gateway to the Water Prison City.

There is a valley in the east of the water prison city, surrounded by two mountains of Tianshui, which is the water prison valley. Surrounded by mountains extending from the Tianshui Second Mountain, the Water Prison Valley is home to an army of 200,000 men of the Empire. There is no other reason, it is precisely because the several mountain ranges around the Water Prison Valley are naturally huge energy spar mines. The quality of the energy spars produced in it is very high, and the lowest quality can also meet the requirements of constructing a second-order elemental chamber, and it is also one of the main sources of energy spars in the entire Tianshui Empire.

At this time, there was an area under heavy martial law in the southwest of the Water Prison Valley. This area is a very hidden mountain stream. The mountain stream has been banned since a year ago.

The scale of the mountain stream is not large, but the ground with a radius of 200 zhang is now arranged with a fluorescent and simple array. A closer look can be seen that the entire large array is inlaid with countless pure black energy crystals, like spreading cracks, crisscrossing and criss-crossing, all of them are concentrated on a one-meter-long and wide platform with a distance of one foot from the bulging ground in the center of the large array.

In the center of the large array sat an old man on the stage. The old man had a majestic appearance, a white beard hanging down to his legs, and his eyes were closed. And the black and white energy drawn by the large array of crystals turned into purple thunder light after spreading to the platform where it was sitting. Swirling all around. A violent crackling sound erupted between the friction of the thunder and light, and the momentum was very terrifying.

This large array is the energy gathering array that Dalu has inherited from ancient times. With the energy spar as the foundation, the large array will transmit all the energy drawn by the spar to the center of the array, and there is also a mystery hidden in the platform under the center of the array, which is inlaid with countless energy transformation circles, and the person sitting on it can operate these small circles and convert all the transmitted energy into energy that is consistent with himself. Obviously, this large array is the highest level of energy gathering array in Dalu. Because the energy crystals that built the formation had all reached the fifth order.

"Whoosh"

At a certain moment, three figures flew out from the hexagonal position of the large array. At the same time, sitting on the mountain stream, the three of them fell directly to make up for the vacant position in the big array. After the three of them sat down, fierce energy fluctuations suddenly poured out of their bodies, and the three systems of strength, one red, one blue, and one blue, each poured out from their bodies, spreading along the energy crystals of the large array.

The figures of the three people who rushed out of the large array turned in the air and landed in an open space outside the array. When the three of them looked at each other, they all felt the tiredness on each other's faces, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads. It is really incredible to be able to have such a tired face at their level.

"It's been a year before you know it!Brother Hongyu, this time it's fortunate that you rushed back in time to lighten some of the burden. Otherwise, even if Hongxing can break through the Divine Master Realm, the eight of us old fellows will have to lose half their lives. The person who spoke was Shui Xun, one of the guardians of the royal family for generations, and his face was full of bitterness at this moment.

"Lose half a life? What we have left now is only half a life, if we lose them all, won't we just our legs and return to the arms of the master? To be precise, we should lose a quarter of our old lives. On the side, Shui Yan, the first guiding priest of the Elemental Control Illusionist Academy, joked.

"This time I did delay a few days in the country of Xiran. But it's worth it!" Zhang Hongyu said with a hint of mystery on his face.

"Didn't Brother Mo delay the time to come back for the kid who was sent out of the family by the Zhang family fifteen years ago?" Shui Yan also smiled mysteriously, which made Shui Xun next to him look confused.

"How would my brother know?" Zhang Hongyu was obviously a little unexpected.

"As early as the collapse of the Holy Illusion Divine Tree, Jie'er sent news. She suspected that there was a crucial reason for the Sacred Tree to wither. It was precisely because of a young man who went to participate in the Holy Illusion Amplification that he was actively pulled into his body by the Divine Tree, and then walked out unscathed. And this young man was a kid who was sent out of the Zhang family fifteen years ago. His name is Zhang Hao, right?"

These words entered his ears, Zhang Hongyu raised his eyebrows, and found that Shui Yan and Shui Xun were staring at him without blinking, he pondered for a long time, his face was a little solemn, and he nodded: "Yes, this time I came back to delay the trip, it is because of this little guy." Originally, Zhang Yu, who had the talent of light soul in the clan, had reached a critical level of the nine-element fire system in his body, and in the past ten years, I had traveled in the open sea wasteland to search for the fire system pure yuan power, in order to promote the pure yuan power in other bodies to the first-order Tiangang Yuan Spirit. When I came back later, I happened to think of Hongxing's explanation, and happened to pass by Xiran Country again, but I really bumped into an incredible thing. ”

"At the beginning of my trip ten years ago, I visited Zhang Hao once, and secretly checked his body and soul again. It's all the same at birth. Even with my strength, it would be difficult to smoothly break through even one of the meridians in his body without incident!"

"But, ten years later, I'm passing by the country again, guess what?"

Zhang Hongyu's tone brought out strong excitement, and said: "Miracle! I don't know what words to describe except for miracles." This kid's soul has never been opened, but he has occasional adventures. It seems that a hidden master has been taught a very powerful phantom body cultivation martial art. actually stepped into the realm of the Seven Great Illusion Bodies with one foot. And the most important thing is that the strength in his body is very strange, and there is a shadow of the five elemental forces in it. It's very faint, but I'm pretty sure. His divine soul should be the ultimate dark soul! It's just a little strange, his brain is full of dead qi, and with the strength of my divine soul power, it is difficult to find out what is going on. Because once the divine soul power enters, those dead qi will rush up and devour it all. ”

"......Extreme Dark Soul?" Hearing these words, Rao Yishui Yan and Shui Xun's hearts couldn't help but change color.

After a while, barely suppressing the shock in his heart, Shui Xun asked tentatively: "Brother, what do you mean he should be ......?"

"That's right! In terms of time and talent, it should be him! With the fact that the Holy Illusion Divine Tree is withering, it's almost certain now!" Zhang Hongyu interrupted Shui Xun's words, his tone unprecedentedly affirmative.

"Then what are we waiting for? Now that his soul has not been opened, he is so laissez-faire, and there is no master around him to protect him, if he is discovered by the evil master family, how can it be good?"

Hearing this, Shui Yan on the side was stunned, and said urgently: "Kid Zhang Hao is in Zhongping Academy now. It is expected that under the divine soul identification, Zhai Qing must have known his talent, and with the other party's temperament, even if he doesn't know the reason, he will definitely find some clues. Zhai Qing is a decent person, and he is jealous and hateful, Zhang Hao should not have any accidents when he hides in Zhongping Academy. However, a few months ago, the Herringbone Phantom Beast Tower was ...... by the Evil Master Family."

Before Shui Yan finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help but take a light breath of cold air at the same time, and a strong look of worry suddenly appeared between their eyebrows.

After being silent for a long time, Shui Xun spoke: "Regarding the Phantom Beast Tower, the royal family has sent many masters to it, and they must know the most about the changes that happened in the tower. Without further ado, I'll send someone back to inquire about the situation. ”

"No, I'll go myself!"

"Wait a minute. ”

Zhang Hongyu frowned tightly and said, "If you understand the situation, you will find that Zhang Hao is safe and sound." Let him stay in Zhongping Academy first. Everything will be discussed after Hongxing breaks through the divine master. ”

After a pause, Shui Xun said with a little confusion: "Is it possible not to send a few masters to secretly guard?"

"Not yet. As long as Zhang Hao's talent is not exposed, he will not be noticed by those who have a heart. It is expected that with Zhai Qing and his wife here, his safety should not be a problem. ”

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhang Hongyu's eyes flashed with a ray of meaningful essence, and he slowly spoke......
