Tianji Gate, the bluestone slab walkway outside the Xuanbing Palace.

"How long are you going to follow me?"

Liu Qiang turned his head and looked at Ye Zhifeng, who followed silently.

He didn't have a good impression of Ye Zhifeng, after all, the latter gave him a knife before, even if the wound is healed now, but the pain is like a seam in his heart, and he feels pain when he thinks about it.

"You can't blame Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben just acted on orders. Ye Zhifeng shrugged, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Did Lord Lu ask you to follow me?" Liu Qiang frowned.

Except for Luffy, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would send someone to follow him.

"Yes. Ye Zhifeng didn't hide it.

Not long ago, Luffy Fei quietly told him that he must be optimistic about Liu Qiang, and at the same time, Luffy Fei also told him about Liu Qiang's relationship with Big Fish.

Although he didn't believe it at the time, he had seen a lot of strange things during the time he had been with Luffy, so he took on this heavy responsibility with suspicion.

"It seems that the adults are really here to spy on me. Liu Qiang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Otherwise, he will just sell this big fish, and in this way, he will at least have a good name.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Liu Qiang immediately showed a mysterious appearance and said, "Brother, do you know the true identity of Lord Lu?"

"You know?"

Liu Qiang's words successfully aroused Ye Zhifeng's curiosity, and during this time, he was also guessing Luffy's true identity all the time.

When did such a mysterious figure appear on the mainland?

But even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out where Luffy came from.

"Of course I do. Liu Qiang subconsciously clenched his fists, cold sweat faintly broke out on his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and said, "He is ......"

"Hey, Ye Zhifeng, what are you talking about?"

Luffy's voice came from behind him, Liu Qiang was shocked, turned to look, and saw Luffy and the three of them walking slowly, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

"He's going to tell me who you really are, young man. Ye Zhifeng said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Qiang stumbled and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

it! This is going to be a public execution!

"Really?" Luffy flew with a cold gaze, walked up to Liu Qiang, and showed a threatening smile, "You...... What do you want to say?"

"Big ...... My lord, spare your life!" Liu Qiang was so frightened that his legs went weak and his teeth chattered.

It's over, it's over, it's going to die.

Damn, this Ye Zhifeng is really not a thing, and I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!

"Spare your life, I didn't say I wanted your life, how can I spare you?" Luffy put his hands behind his back and squinted at the sky, "I'll forgive you this time, but...... There is no next time. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qiang immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Alright, get out of the way. Luffy waved his hand and motioned to get out of the way.

Liu Qiang hurriedly retreated to the side.

Seeing this, Luffy couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that this Liu Qiang is really an interesting guy.

He was not afraid that Liu Qiang would tell others that he was a big fish, because of this kind of absurdity, Ye Zhifeng and others would not believe it.

Besides, he wasn't in the first place.

"Brother Lu, I'm going to visit the Zhao Sect Master first, and I'll leave it at that. Song Tianji gave his leave.

"See you tomorrow. Luffy didn't even lift his eyelids.

This guy is finally gone.

"Brother Lu, I forgot to tell you one thing, tomorrow is the day of the Tianjimen newcomer competition. Like Huang Li's low singing voice, Zhou Menglu pulled the corner of Luffy's clothes, and her eyes showed a little excitement.

"Newcomer Dabi? I don't think it's my business. Luffy wasn't interested.

Now he just wants to kill enough hundred big fish to restore the ability of the glasses.

"I heard that the reward for the first place includes a third-order big fish Neidan. ”

As soon as Zhou Menglu said this, Luffy suddenly became excited.

He wasn't very interested in other things anymore, but the big fish's Nedan was different, it was something that was indispensable for him to take shortcuts to improve his cultivation!

"But I'm still not fit to play, it's so unfair to you. Luffy shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't want to participate.

If he is forced to play, the rookie Dabi will become his personal pretending show.

"In this case, I can participate with confidence. Zhou Menglu let out a silent sigh, and if she looked closely, she could find that her slightly tense cheeks finally relaxed.

This was seen by Luffy and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Turns out this girl doesn't want me to play.

......

Song Tianji walked into the long bluestone road, and in front of him was the silent and majestic main hall. His footsteps paused slightly, adjusted his breathing slightly, turned on the fan, and swayed lightly.

"Take me to your master. ”

Song Tianji walked to the front of the main hall and showed a guard a golden token engraved with the word "Tian".

The guard immediately bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, "Please come with me." ”

As soon as they entered the main hall, Zhao Xinghe and the five elders immediately stood up and saluted.

"I don't know that the prince came today, Zhao missed the welcome, and it was really an unforgivable sin. Zhao Xinghe hurriedly asked for sin.

"Where is the Lord of Zhao, I didn't tell me in advance, and it was the fault to come and disturb rashly. Song Tianji said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a seat. Zhao Xinghe hurriedly made a "please" gesture.

Song Tianji walked over with a smile, sat down gently, looked at Zhao Xinghe, and said, "I also secretly ran out of the palace this time, so I also ask the Zhao Sect Master to keep quiet." ”

"Don't worry, the prince, I won't say a word about you. Zhao Xinghe said respectfully.

Song Tianji nodded with satisfaction and said, "By the way, I met an interesting guy today, speaking of which, he is still from Tianjimen." ”

"Oh, which disciple has offended the prince?" Zhao Xinghe's eyelids jumped, and he was a little nervous.

What kind of disciple who is not long-eyed, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dares to offend!

"Master Zhao, please listen to what I have to say. Song Tianji saw that he was a little nervous, and couldn't help but smile, "This person is called Luffy." ”

"Buzz!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xinghe's six people were all shocked.

If an ordinary disciple offended the crown prince, they could still give a proper punishment, if it was a senior of the road......

Even if they are given ten guts, they will not dare to punish them!

"Yes...... Senior Lu?" Zhao Xinghe's face was full of bitterness.

Song Tianji observed his words and looks, and he could also see the respect that Zhao Xinghe and others had for Luffy Fei.

From this point of view, this Luffy is indeed not ordinary.

"Don't worry, Master Zhao, the senior Lu in your mouth did not do anything rude to me, on the contrary, he is still kind to me. As soon as Song Tianji said this, the worries in the hearts of Zhao Xinghe and the others immediately disappeared.

"Whew-" The six of them all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing it's a false alarm.

If Luffy really offended the prince, they would definitely be in a dilemma.

I can't afford to mess with either side!

"I'll talk about these things later, in fact, I came this time because I have a big thing to tell the door master. Song Tianji closed the fan, and his expression suddenly became serious, "The Great Array of Protecting the Country, I'm afraid that if you persist for another ten years, it will be invalid." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xinghe and the others all had solemn faces.

"Is there something wrong with the spirit vein?" Zhao Xinghe asked.

Song Tianji nodded with a heavy heart, and his tone was weak: "The spiritual power required by the Great Array of Protecting the Country comes from the spiritual veins underground, and now, the spiritual veins are about to be emptied. ”

The people of the Star Moon Empire all know that under the territory, there is a spiritual vein that runs through the east and west, and the Great Protector Array is powered by this spiritual vein.

Now that a hundred years have passed, coupled with the attacks of big fish from time to time, the spiritual veins have nearly dried up.

In fact, it is already a miracle that the Great Array of Protectors can last for a hundred years, and if it is according to the original design of the Great Array, I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain it for even fifty years.

When this large array was first designed, thanks to a mysterious array mage's proposal, the energy shield of the large array was modified to be auto-adjusted, so that if the attacking big fish was not very strong, the large array would not need to draw too much spiritual power from the spiritual veins at once.
