Chapter 620: An Unexpected Gain (I)
Chapter 620: Unexpected Gains (I)
Soon the two of them passed through the second layer of the killing array and came to the third layer of the defensive array. Unlike the second layer of the magic circle, the third layer of the magic circle was extremely calm, Xu Changqing could clearly see the large flat land covered by dense forests on both sides of the road, and even the people who were practicing the formation above the forest with the help of this formation. If it weren't for the fact that he could clearly feel the continuous circulation of the underground forces, perhaps Xu Changqing would mistakenly think that he had entered a certain sect's cultivation place.
Although the third-layer magic array seemed very peaceful and tranquil in terms of both the strength of the formation and the formation, not like a defensive array to deal with a strong enemy, Xu Changqing could feel that the power hidden under this peaceful formation was extremely violent, like a fierce beast bound by chains. If this power is fully released, I am afraid that even the person in charge of the formation will not be able to fully grasp it. It's just that judging from the dense forest overgrown with tall trees around it, it is obvious that the hidden killing array of the third layer of defense has not been activated for a long time.
Compared to the first two layers of the array, the cultivation of the people in the third layer of the formation was obviously higher, and there were more than fifty people in the formation within the range that Xu Changqing's divine thoughts could detect, and each of them had reached the peak of returning to the void, and it was possible to take a step forward at any time and achieve the Immortal Dao Fruit.
"If it weren't for the siege of the turbid beast cháo, this would be a good place to practice. After entering the formation, Guan Poming, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly said.
Xu Changqing smiled, on the surface he was noncommittal, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart. Although this Battle Demon City Defense Array is very wonderful, it can be attacked and defended, and it can also be used as a place for cultivation, but the aura required to operate such a huge formation is by no means a star and a half. At the time when the defensive array group was operating, Xu Changqing had already felt that the aura in the Battle Demon City was rapidly weakening, and he thought that the spiritual veins of the entire Battle Demon City had been used to promote the formation of the defensive magic array group at this moment. There is no problem with using the spiritual vein aura like this in a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage to the land of the Battle Demon City, and even directly threaten the survival of the spiritual veins here. Therefore, as long as it is not a large-scale turbid beast cháo siege, the defensive array group in the battle demon city will generally not be completely opened.
The speed of the two was very fast, but in a moment they had already arrived at the periphery of the Tibetan platform, only to see a platform as large as a xiǎo town suspended in the air under the support of the formation, and some dragon-mouth giant crossbows were erected around the platform, and a very strong power of the five elements could be felt on the arrows correctly stacked next to the giant crossbow.
On the platform, more than a thousand War Demon Cliff cultivators sat and lay on it casually, looking a little leisurely, and the light outside the city shone from time to time. And the sound of fighting was a bit out of place. Under the platform, there is a city wall that is almost connected to the bottom of the platform and cannot be seen at a glance, and the city wall is covered with various Dao charms and magic circles. These magic circles and talismans are intact and some are broken, and they are all hidden in the city walls in normal times, but now they are floating on the walls one by one, shining with their various brilliance, densely huddled together, and together with the somewhat broken city walls, they tell others about the battles that have happened in the past. The entire city wall has been trained by these talisman formations for many years, and has long since turned into a pile of ordinary rocks and transformed into some kind of spiritual material containing a strange aura.
Just when Xu Changqing and Guan Poming were approaching the Tibetan platform, on the tower in the middle of the platform, a person flew out, greeted the two of them, and took the initiative to greet them: "I didn't expect the Supreme Monarch to send Nie Daoyou to the old man's Tibetan platform, which is really surprising to the old man!"
The person who came was the head of this Tibetan military platform, Zong Wanquan, whose identity was a Xiǎo Sect ménmén master near the Dandaohui Yào Village, and his cultivation was not very clever, only the realm of the immortals of the Dao, but he was cautious, and he was sent to this Tibetan military platform to command the scattered cultivation of the Battle Demon Cliff, which was also suitable. He had several encounters with Xu Changqing, and when Xu Changqing succeeded as the president of the Dan Dao Society, he personally went to Daohe, and he was the first to come to Daohe as the master of the Battle Demon City Power Sect, so Xu Changqing was also very impressed with him.
"Master Zong, I misunderstood!" Xu Changqing stopped and explained: "The old man came here just for a temporary purpose, not to be assigned by the War Demon Cliff Alliance, if it is inconvenient for the master of the sect, the old man ......",
"How can it be inconvenient? President Nie is really fortunate for me to be able to come here, and if I can't ask for it, how can it be inconvenient. Zong Wanquan, who was a little chubby, put out a flattering smile like a businessman in the market, and as he spoke, he let go of his body and led the way in front of Xu Changqing, looking like a humble servant.
Seeing Zong Wanquan behaving like this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but be suspicious, because in his memory, although Zong Wanquan's status would be inferior in front of those big forces and Zong Mén, and his demeanor would also appear humble and tolerant, he would definitely not look as humble as he is now.
Guan Poming, who was on the side, obviously also saw that Zong Wanquan was deliberately currying favor with Xu Changqing, and this kind of behavior made him extremely disdainful. However, he didn't intend to show his feelings, and he offended this Lord of the Battle Demon City Sect in vain, so he casually apologized to Zong Wanquan, and no longer moved forward, turned around and flew down to the platform of the Tibetan Soldier Platform. After he fell, the scattered cultivators around his foothold seemed to dodge outward as if avoiding the plague, and soon a clearing more than ten zhang wide was vacated around him, and he seemed to have become accustomed to this, sat down cross-legged, and practiced on his own.
Zong Wanquan seemed to have a very bad impression of Guan Poming, snorted slightly, and said: "Don't blame President Nie, this person is a wilderness cultivator, xìng Ge is lonely and cold and obedient, although his cultivation is profound, but he is just a reckless person, if this person is not introduced by the master of Wanzhong Ménmén Lian Wancheng, I am afraid he will not be able to be the leader of this scattered cultivation." However, this person really doesn't know the general situation, he has fought with other scattered cultivators several times in less than half a day, and each time he almost hurts people's lives, originally Dan yào was not enough, and now it is still ......" His words suddenly stopped abruptly at this point, as if he realized what he had just said missing, and quickly changed the topic: "Don't talk about this person! I wonder if President Nie can tell the contemptible people, what is the so-called matter here?"
Although the other party covered it up well, Xu Changqing could still feel that Zong Wanquan was a little nervous when he asked, and his body became a little stiff. In this regard, Xu Changqing was vaguely able to surmise that Zong Wanquan must have misunderstood his intentions, and this misunderstanding was probably the reason for his strange behavior. Thinking of what Zong Wanquan said before he suddenly changed the topic, Xu Changqing estimated that the reason for Zong Wanquan's abnormality was probably related to Dan Yào.
However, Xu Changqing had no intention of meddling in his affairs, so he smiled indifferently and said: "This time the turbidity beast cháo attacked the city, the old man encountered it for the first time, and it was inevitable that the old man had some accidents when he fought against the turbid beast later, so he specially came here to observe it in advance, so as to have a preparation in his heart." ”
Hearing what Xu Changqing said, Zong Wanquan relaxed a little, followed the talisman card, untied the talisman array on the central tower of the platform, and led Xu Changqing to the top floor of the tower. In this layer, there are also four or five powerful people from the Scattered Cultivation and Sect Mén forces residing here, all of them are in the realm of the Immortals, before Xu Changqing entered, they were all staring at the image of the illusion insect in front of them, and this image was the image of the outer defense array group resisting the invasion of the turbid beasts.
"This must be known to all of you is the current President Nie of the Dandao Society. After the two of them landed, Zong Wanquan immediately introduced Xu Changqing to the vigilant people around him, and then said in an accentuated tone, "President Nie is only here to observe how fellow masters of the Palm Formation can resist the turbid beasts, not for other things. ”
After hearing Zong Wanquan's words, everyone's vigilant spirit relaxed, and they all stepped forward to greet Xu Changqing, and there was a hint of flattery in their tones like Zong Wanquan.
"The people of Xiǎo Guanshan can't resist the impact of those evil obstacles, so we still send people to support them immediately, so as not to have any accidents. Zong Wanquan couldn't help frowning when he saw the image of one of the phantom light insects transforming at this time, and immediately gave an order.
One of them said: "Just let that Guan Daoyou lead the team to support! Anyway, he is too idle to panic here, so it is better to find something for him to do, so as not to have any more problems." ”
"No, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he has been practicing outside the Battle Demon City before, and he is not familiar with the defensive magic circle, I'm afraid he will ...... if he goes" Although Zong Wanquan doesn't like Guan Po's life, he won't make mistakes because of his own preferences, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Why don't we send someone to accompany him, just let him be familiar with how to fight in the defensive magic circle, what do you say?"
Zong Wanquan's mention was approved by everyone, and soon they selected a person to accompany Guan Poming to support, as for Zong Wanquan's hint, they knew that Zong Wanquan had something to say to Xu Changqing, so they didn't stop here, they each found an excuse and flew out of the tower.
"Presumably President Nie has already guessed that the contemptible people are in trouble, right?" When there were only two people left on the top floor of the tower, Zong Wanquan said bluntly to Xu Changqing, who had been looking at the illusion image of the phantom light insect, very unexpectedly.
Xu Changqing was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Zong Wanquan, who was calm, and said with a smile: "In the old man's impression, the master of the sect is not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, and from the beginning of the sect, the expression of the master of the sect is really a little weird, and the appearance of the other fellow Daoists is also very weird.
Xu Changqing's speculation made Zong Wanquan misunderstand, his face sank slightly, and he said: "It seems that President Nie came to this Tibetan military platform guarded by the contemptible people, and he didn't come with xìng as the president said, it seems that the president should have received the news and came here to visit!"
