Chapter 178: Flying Disaster Lures the Wolf into the House
Several maids in the room were walking around anxiously, and when they saw Zhang Xiaoshan entering, several people knelt on the ground together, their faces full of shame.
Kui'er spoke first: "We have the trust of the son, and I ask the son to punish him." Although the treasure you handed over to us has been successfully sold, we have not received the spirit stone, and it has been inexplicably teleported out. We found the entrance again, but we couldn't get in, and we lost the treasures. I didn't expect this Five Temples to be so shameless, and I wasn't afraid of the shame of my fellow Daoists!"
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood what was going on, the responsibility for this matter was not on the Kui'er and a few people, it was really sudden, and even he was sent out. The Five Temples had no choice but to do this, and that sudden giant hand was definitely enough for them to deal with it for a while.
He didn't care about the spirit stones he lost, the money was something outside his body after all, although he lost a large amount of spirit stones, and it hurt a little, but since the wood was already in the boat, it was useless to be entangled in vain. He was puzzled by who dared to be so bold and dared to snatch the remnants in front of everyone, isn't this a blatant humiliation of the Five Temples. If this person dares to do this, he must have full strength, and it is inferred that this person's identity is nothing more than those transcendent figures in this world.
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned, and suddenly heard a huge sound of air waves outside the window, the sound was so loud that it was like a giant dragon roaring. The manic air swept into the city from outside the city, and the roofs of dozens of houses were torn off.
"Bold maniac, seek death!" a roar rang out from the sky, and a gray light and shadow loomed in the clouds, tangled with a white light and shadow.
"Hurry up and enter the Fire Immortal Mansion!" Zhang Xiaoshan didn't have time to explain, he waved his hand and put everyone into the Huofang inkstone, and then quickly left his room, almost at the moment when he left, a force that fell from the sky was like a devastating force, and the magnificent inn was instantly turned into a ruin as high as a hill.
There were also many pedestrians on the road, even the sturdy buildings were destroyed, not to mention these ordinary people who were mortal in the flesh. These people are like red flowers, blooming brilliantly and withering quickly, leaving only a cloud of blood mist with a fishy smell. For a time, the city was dusty and wailing. couldn't help but make Zhang Xiaoshan think of the tragic scene of purgatory on earth that Wuwei Mansion had experienced.
An azure light shield quickly enveloped the entire Ningyuan Mansion, which was the automatic triggering of the Dharma Protector Great Array in the city.
With the urging of the city protection formation, the battle in the sky finally could not affect the city below, and only bursts of thunderous sounds were heard in the sky. Several clouds of light and shadow flashed quickly in the clouds, and it could be seen that the battle was extremely fierce.
The disciples of the Five Temples in the city flew into the air one after another, more than half continued to fly upwards to prevent the collapse of the city protection circle, and the other half scattered to various parts of the city to assist the city guards and rescue the wounded in the city.
Zhang Xiaoshan took out a long shirt with a hood to cover his appearance, and then waited nearby. Now Tu Qianqian, Liu Zhangshi and others from Juxian Lou have not returned, and he needs to wait here. And he can't be discovered yet, otherwise Tu Qianqian will be unable to explain it when he comes back, after all, if there are two identical people, everyone will have to be interrogated.
After half an hour, Zhang Xiaoshan saw Liu Zhangshi, who had a panicked look, and was hurrying over here under the escort of several monks, and it was Tu Qianqian's self who was standing next to Liu Zhangshi. It seems that several high-level officials in Juxian Building were only frightened, and there were no casualties, which was already very lucky, such as those servants and guards who lived in the inn, most of them had been buried in the dust of the ruins, and they were all lucky.
Looking at the ruins of the hill-like inn in front of him, Liu Zhangshi sat on the ground in despair. This time, all the goods transported by Juxian Lou were pressed underneath, and the loss amount was between hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which was too heavy. Not to mention that in order to participate in the auction conference, Liu Zhangshi returned 100,000 spirit stones and did not get them back, so that the front and back add up, Juxian Lou lost nearly 300,000 spirit stones here.
Of course, the responsibility should be attributed to Liu Zhangshi, first of all, he is the person responsible for the caravan, and he can't get rid of his involvement in any problems, and on the other hand, he ordered to rest in the city for so many days before today's disaster. His original intention was to participate in the once-in-a-decade treasure auction conference, and if he was lucky enough to buy some sought-after good things, he could make a lot of money. How could he have thought that disaster would fall from the sky, not only did he not get rich, but he also lost his old bottom.
Eventually, there were other adaptable people in the caravan, and the remaining personnel were immediately organized to search for survivors and cargo in the wreckage.
Zhang Xiaoshan took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy rescuing people from under the rubble and digging up goods, and hurriedly sent a message to Tu Qianqian, and the two of them quietly walked to a no-man's place and quickly restored each other's normal identities.
"Childe..."Tu Qianqian was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Don't say anything, I know everything, save people first!" Zhang Xiaoshan immediately cast his mental trick and moved a huge stone pillar in front of him.
With the cooperation of several monks, the rescue went exceptionally smoothly, but the result was tragic, except for some goods dug up, all the people who were crushed below were killed, and not even a complete body could be found, and everyone's bodies were broken into pieces, and there was a lot of dust, which looked a little creepy.
This sudden change not only brought heavy losses to Ningyuan Mansion, but also affected some passing caravans, such as Juxian Tower, there are not a few who have suffered heavy losses.
The mysterious attacker was intercepted by five masters of the Tribulation Period, and finally escaped unharmed, this mysterious man did not say a word from beginning to end, lightly blocked all kinds of deadly attacks, and then turned into a silver-white light and shadow, and disappeared without a trace.
The Five Temples naturally did not recognize it like this, and the five Great Sages dispatched at the same time, following the looming aura and following all the way.
Ningyuan Mansion withdrew the city protection array in the early morning of the second day, and the major caravans and monks who had been waiting under the city gate left in droves.
In this incident, many of the monks who participated in the meeting lost a lot of spirit stones and treasures, because many of the puppets who served were affected and destroyed in the war, and the Five Temples could not identify the identities of the participants, so this matter had to be stopped.
For this one thing alone, the face of the Five Temples is completely lost, and I am afraid that the treasure auction conference once every ten years will not be able to be held again.
Zhang Xiaoshan sat on a cyan horse, following the survivors of Juxian Tower all the way south.
The original mighty caravan is now only more than 30 people left, but fortunately, some precious goods have been dug up, and they are barely loaded into three carts, because most of the guards have died, so even monks like Zhang Xiaoshan can only ride horses to guard the carriage, which is really as miserable as it is.
Overnight, Liu Zhangshi seemed to have aged as a teenager, with white hair fluttering on his temples and deep-set eyes, as if his soul had left his body and more like a walking corpse. The rest of the Juxian Mansion had no choice but to get busy on their own, laboriously snapping up some horses and vehicles in the city, sorting the remaining goods into the carts, and squeezing under the city gate overnight.
Until this morning, Liu Zhangshi was still that immortal, Zhang Xiaoshan saw this, so he had to whisper to his ear, and only awakened his consciousness with a sentence, "Liu Zhangshi has forgotten the major event of falling bird stream!"
This sentence made the decadent Liu Zhangshi immediately feel energetic, yes! I still have that big thing to do, and at this moment, I am afraid that those people and horses of the secret guard have been ambushed, and they can act as long as they are in place.
Although he lost a lot of goods and manpower, all these casual cultivators he recruited were there! As long as that great thing was accomplished, this loss was nothing.
Liu Zhangshi's eyes once again burst with hope, and he led everyone to escort the carriage along the road to the south.
It is also fate, at noon, they actually saw a mighty caravan on the road, the scale of this caravan was a few points larger than before Juxian Tower, there were five or six hundred people, seventy or eighty carriages, the team stretched on the road for nearly half a mile, and the flags on the guards and cars were the caravan of Tingchaoju.
It seems that Tingchaoju is Ningyuan Mansion who arrived last night, but because the city is closed, they can't enter the city, so they can only rest outside the city for one night, and then continue to move forward while the morning is dawning.
Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at it with his divine sense, and found that there were really a lot of monks over there in Tingchaoju, there were a total of three monks from the Jindan period, and eleven monks from the foundation building period were hidden in different positions in the team, and there were more than thirty monks in the Qi refining period. It seems that Tingchaoju has anticipated the danger on the road and is fully prepared. These are just people on the surface, who knows if there will be other personnel to escort them in the dark.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't find out where the cubs of the three Cloud Devouring Beasts were, this is also what it should be, listening to a chamber of commerce of this size, transporting such an important cargo, it will definitely use Qiankun Lingbao type space artifacts. As for the Qiankun Spirit Treasure, it should be on the body of one of the three Jindan monks.
Liu Zhangshi on the side stepped forward, rushed up, and said hello to Ge Jiangyu, the head of Tingchaoju, the two have lived in the business sea for a long time, and they have long been familiar with each other. I don't know what Liu Zhangshi said, but I heard that Chaoju actually allowed the people of Juxian Building to follow the team at the end and move forward all the way.
Zhang Xiaoshan sighed secretly in his heart, Ge Jiangyu has good eyesight and a careful mind, why would he be so hasty to let other chambers of commerce follow him.
In fact, this is the rule between the eight chambers of commerce that Zhang Xiaoshan does not know, although the eight of them compete with each other and suppress each other, they still care more about reputation in major matters.
If they encounter other caravans on the road asking for help, they will try to help as much as possible, after all, everyone can be unlucky and something bad will happen.
There are so many benefits in the world! It is inevitable to help each other occasionally!
