In November of the 568th year of the El Tieno calendar, the free city of Shangri-La

The news of the war between Eltino and Reyns was also delivered to the Free Cities, especially the most prosperous Shangri-La, after being delivered by fast horses.

In addition to causing shock and an uproar, the citizens were waiting to see what decision Shi Chong would make. This dignitary, who had enjoyed high status in Altinor, was currently transferring his men and troops to Free City, and Eltino should have turned to him for help in the face of national disaster, and as long as he transferred his army back to fight alongside Altinor's army, Reyns would immediately face a disadvantage.

This is the idea of ordinary people, but anyone who knows the inside story knows that this kind of thing cannot happen, because the prince Hulegu, who currently holds the power of Eltino, has always been Shi Chong's sworn enemy.

Even if Shi Chong cooperated with Hülegü based on his position, unless he was willing to hand over the army to Hülegü's command, he would have to leave the Free City and personally command the troops to fight. The problem is that Shi Chong's foundation in the Free City is not stable, and Shangri-La has had frequent accidents recently, if he leaves this place lightly, the expelled Qinglou Alliance will come back at any time and replace him.

Because of this, when the officials of the military department did not give up on admonishing Hülegü, the prince only coldly said that the military department could try, but not in his name, and Shi Chong, after receiving the urgent document from the Eltino military department, saw that it was not issued in the name of Hülegü, and did not even dismantle it, but simply threw it away.

In a way, this pair of sworn enemies who have been fighting for many years really know each other's style very well.

Shi Chong is not ignorant of the situation on the side of Eltino, but the masters of the Reins side have appeared in Shangri-La one after another, and if his group wants to face all the masters of the enemy alone, they will have no time to worry about a series of heavenly battles, how can they still be in the mood to care about ordinary people's wars?

Naturally, the unaccounted for members of the Qinglou Alliance is also a major concern for their henchmen, although they don't know where they have gone, but according to common sense, it should be near Shangri-La, because they can't just give up hope of retaking the base area.

"Yes...... Yes...... I'll think about it carefully...... This is already underway, and I believe there will be progress soon......"

In a special secret room, Shi Chong uses a water mirror to communicate and talk to a distant subject. Basically, apart from the communication equipment of the Ancient Demon Path, the "Water Mirror Technique" is the most widely used long-distance communication method on the Wind Continent, as long as the magic power is strong enough, the communication of the "Water Mirror Technique" can communicate the east and west ends of the Wind Continent without time difference.

However, like most other magic, the "Water Mirror" has a special limit on its ability, which is that it "stops when it encounters the sea". At present, the known technology of "water mirroring" cannot make contact with ships going to sea, let alone cross the ocean and communicate with the land on the other side of the sea.

However, in Shangri-La, there are several incredible devices, one of which is the altar-like stone pool that Shi Chong now uses, surrounded by tadpole-like runes, and countless square origami papers, strung together into paper ropes, crisscrossed in the secret room.

It is said that these devices have the effect of enhancing communication waves, but even Shi Chong does not understand the reason, so when using this pool, he carefully and fearfully checked the surrounding environment, and also laid multiple barriers, because if the enemy breaks into again, the two sides will fight for a while, and the place will be destroyed and destroyed, and no one on the Continent of Wind will repair this equipment.

In the past, the use of this ultra-long-range water mirror capable of communicating across the sea was the power of the head of the Chiba family in the Wind Continent, which had been the exclusive possession of the woman Pandora for hundreds of years, but has recently become her own patent.

"As you said, such an unreasonable thing should have stopped a long time ago, and from today, end that account......"

The figure on the other end of the water mirror is the head of the Chiba family headquarters in a different continent. They didn't seem to care at all about the change of power on the Wind Continent, but they were very anxious to inform that from today onwards, an account in the Silver Building, which originally belonged to the Qinglou Alliance, would be frozen, and the Flame Continent would no longer transport money to supply the unlimited expenses here.

Shi Chong was a little puzzled about this matter, but he didn't want to ask too much, because from the embarrassed expressions on the other side, it didn't seem to be a glorious thing. According to my own side understanding, in order to supplement the funds spent on this account, the only government on the Flame Continent, the Scarlet Empire, has seriously overdrawn the defense budget for the next year, so it has to be stopped urgently.

"Yes, I'll do that...... However, without an official name, it is a bit of a hindrance to get things done...... Understood, I will use the Book of Genesis to prove my abilities. ”

For the ownership of the orthodox inheritance of the Wind Continent, the condition set by the Ministry is to obtain the "Book of Genesis", as long as he returns the book to the Headquarters, he can officially control all the Chiba family forces on the Wind Continent, and Pandora's mother-in-law must know that although she can't get the inheritance right even if she takes the book, but in order to stop herself, she must also go all out.

After finishing the communication, Shi Chong slowly walked out of the secret room, since he captured Shangri-La, after taking over the database of a number of confidential information, the power in his hands has also been greatly expanded, and these amazing strengths have made him even more shocked that the dark power of the Chiba family is higher than originally estimated, which is by no means comparable to just multiplying his previous power by three times.

(These powers were unattainable for Pandora in the past, but as soon as I obtained the Book of Genesis, these powers would be mine...... ）

At the earliest, he was not a child of the Chiba family, but a foreign guest, for a certain purpose, an outsider joined the organization of the Chiba family, this matter has been a long time ago, and after he became one of the three commanders, he deliberately covered it up, and he must not even know about Pandora.

At that time, it was at the threshold of the change of generations of the Chiba family, and in the face of the other two sects to nominate the sisters of the Gongsun family as the heirs, the voices were connected and mighty, and the elders of their own sect saw that there was no capable person in the faction and there was no hope of seizing the position of the head of the family, so they hit it off with themselves, and they took over the power of the sect by themselves, and competed with the sisters of the Gongsun family.

I saw that Gongsun Chuqian's heroic personality would not stay in the dark world of the Chiba family for a long time, and the alliance with his sister was only temporary, so after taking over the power of the sect, he led his own forces to disappear, cut off contact with the other two sects, and waited for their sisters to break up, and then find a gap to break through.

Sure enough, his vision was correct, and after Gongsun Chuqian fell in love with Wang Wu, he betrayed the Chiba family, leaving Pandora alone to support the overall situation. And the news of Gongsun Chuqian's rebellion spread to a different continent, and the messenger sent by the headquarters almost beat Gongsun Chuqian to death, but I don't know how Pandora maneuvers, the matter is over, Gongsun Chuqian was expelled from the door wall, and then has no contact with the Chiba family;

In order to stay safe, hide in the dark, and punish Gongsun Chuqian, she did not show up to attend, which made her escape, and her painstaking plan fell short, which is really a suffocation, but it is not in vain to be able to expel Gongsun Chuqian from the Chiba family, abolish Pandora's martial arts, and uproot two strong enemies in one fell swoop.

However, just before he was about to launch the battle to seize the throne, there was a sudden news that the forces that originally belonged to Gongsun Chuqian were all handed over to Pandora to take care of, and the two sects were united and strong, and they had not yet launched the war, they had already been defeated first, although it was a pity, but they had to give up, hide deeper underground, and make longer and better preparations, and then once launched a thunderstorm and seized the throne.

After hundreds of years of lurking and preparation, it was finally the glorious moment of the harvest, but remembering the original purpose of joining the Chiba family, Shi Chong felt a tremble, and suddenly, he finally understood why for thousands of years, although there have been many foreign strongmen who have joined the Chiba family and ascended to the position of the head of the family, there are even many heroes who originally hated the Chiba family, but no one has ever destroyed this organization after ascending the throne.

Why?

It's really because the taste of holding power is too sweet. As long as he becomes the co-master of the three sects and obtains the qualifications to use all his powers, he will be the supreme king of the Wind Continent, and the scope of his mastery is so deep that no one on the Wind Continent in the past can match, even the Great Demon God King during the Kyushu War cannot be compared.

Myself...... Can you resist this temptation? This temptation that makes my whole body tremble when I think about it......

"Stone ...... Mayor, someone just sent this thing......

A subordinate hurried to Shi Chong's side, handed over a letter, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a poorly written warning letter.

Tell the big fool Shi Chong, the parts of the Tongtian Cannon you hid have been obtained by me, next time......

After only a brief look at the beginning, Shi Chong frowned, spread out his palm, and the internal force of the fossil evil power was everywhere, and the entire letter paper turned into stone powder and scattered, leaving no trace.

"Lord Mayor?"

"This superficial trick of throwing stones to ask for directions, and daring to come to the old man to play tricks? ”

Deliberately sending such a sneaky letter, making people suspicious, to check whether the thing is lost, so as to know the location of the treasure, this is the usual trick of stealing, Shi Chong such an old Jianghu, of course, will not be tricked, but in his heart, the sky cannon is such a confidential matter, because it has dragged on for too long, and now it is in an uproar, not only the forces of all parties interfere, but even these chickens and dogs are boldly bullied to the door.

(It's better to mess around, but ...... It's too much of a farce, isn't it?)

When his subordinates showed a look of admiration, Shi Chong's heart moved, and he remembered the letter just now, although the handwriting was clumsy, but there seemed to be something special, and the smell of ink was a little strange, should it be ......

When it is verified, the letter has been completely destroyed by him, and it has been scattered far away with the wind, but where will he find it again?

Shi Chong was stunned for a moment, and then another subordinate ran over, saying that he had received another letter, and that he had been shot directly with a sleeve arrow, nailed to the wall, and a piece of paper was attached to it.

"Where?"

"Uh...... There are some indecent words on it, we don't know if we should ......"

"Bring it to me. ”

Shi Chong snatched the letter from his hand, didn't look at the content first, took a closer look, and then affirmed that this was not ordinary ink, but a font printed with inkjet printing with the Ancient Demon Dao equipment, in other words, this also represented the identity of the enemy.

Shi Chong raped the dog, Lao Tzu knows that your mother did not teach you well, she will definitely tear up the first letter, and now make up the second letter with great mercy, if you lose the important clue to get the cannon because of your cheap hand, then go to Jerusalem and let the Iron-masked Ladyboy kill you!

After reading this piece of paper, Shi Chong's face turned blue and red, both annoyed and embarrassed that the enemy could calculate his own movements, so he hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

"What? Tell me to do this kind of thing? Is that fat man crazy?"

With Shi Chong's old age and calmness, he couldn't help but scream after reading the letter, he couldn't believe what he saw, but he rewatched it again and again, and found that what he saw was right, and the "kidnapper" also made a special note at the end of the letter, if he didn't follow the rules, then he would immediately tear up the ticket, and from then on, everyone would scatter, and no one could get the power device.

"Damn, did he think I would be stupid enough to do it...... Belch. ”

Shi Chong suddenly thought that if the other party was able to send a second letter so quickly, he must have watched his subordinates take the first letter and immediately make up the second letter. In this way, even if you leave, you shouldn't be able to go far, and you may even be around here.

※※※

Changing into the T1000's biological armor, Ailing chose to fly quickly at a low altitude, preparing to return to the cave and meet Yuxue.

She still felt half-convinced about the Sheter's explanation, although it sounded like that, but would the enemy really tear up the letter and send it a second time?

"The big rape dog will definitely do this, because for thousands of years, the bad guys in every third-rate drama have spoken and acted similarly. ”

"Shi Chong is not acting in a third-rate drama......"

"Girl, under normal circumstances, the real world is usually more absurd than a third-rate drama. ”

In short, because the Shet man said so, he himself served as his messenger and came to deliver the letter, but he also particularly told him to leave immediately after the letter, because the enemy would think that he was still near and pursue him, and if the man he met was Dorgon, things would be very bad.

"You have to be very careful when you meet Dorgon, but you have to be even more careful if you encounter a shemale. Dolgon and Li Lao Er killed people and didn't say hello, but Lao San didn't even say hello to the conspirators. ”

It sounds a little reasonable, but even without saying it, Ailing knows that she can't stay long, so after sending the second letter, she leaves immediately, but after flying for a while, the T1000's radar shows that she has been tracked behind.

"Who is it?"

This question seems a bit redundant. According to Ailing's current position, all the celestial warriors in Shangri-La City are all enemies, at least all of them are people who are about to flash when they meet, however, the T1000 system has given an unexpected answer.

"Strong heavenly power, ordinary speed, fire-shaped qi to protect the body...... Non-Oriental martial arts system. ”

Based on these characteristics, and then checking with the Heavenly Rank Martial Artists in the current database, the system gave an answer with a correctness of up to 83.7%.

"Zhu Yan Haier, the only disciple of Long Beethoven, is currently part of Zhou Gongjin's camp......"

Even if the system doesn't report this long list of titles, Ailing knows who is coming. She sneaked out of Jixia and rushed to Shangri-La just to find this senior brother, but as soon as she came, she was involved in various incidents and had no chance to find him.

It seems that Sister Hua is really right, as long as the distance is within a hundred miles, even if they don't deliberately meet, it is easy for the two Heavenly Rank Martial Artists to meet because they are involved in all kinds of commotion, because basically they are the source of destruction and turmoil.

It's about to meet, but at this time it's very nerve-wracking to choose where to meet, Ailing hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to fly straight up, break through the clouds, and stay above the clouds. She didn't deliberately activate the device that hid her breath, so shortly after she rushed into the clouds, a blazing flame burst through the clouds and stopped before her.

The firelight faded away, revealing the handsome figure inside. Zhu Yan's martial arts come from the demon world, which is quite different from the fire martial arts in the human world, whenever he wants to chase the target with all his strength with light skills, he will promote the growth rate of flames, and at the same time improve his own defense, but since he is going to meet, of course, he has to put away these flames.

"Little junior sister, what are you doing here?"

After asking a sentence, the cold wind blew in the sky, Zhu Yan's brows furrowed, he took off his coat, took a step forward, and said, "It's windy here, you ......"

Before the words came out, even he himself thought it was funny. I already knew that the little junior sister had already been different from the impression in the past, and now she was still wearing the T1000 armor, the highest masterpiece of Master Long Beethoven......

“...... Why did you come here? The situation in Shangri-La is chaotic now, and you shouldn't stay here, little sister. ”

The title of "little junior sister" has a special meaning for Ailing. Among all the people she knew, only this senior brother had never called her "girl" or "dwarf winter melon", but called her little junior sister very affectionately, because Zhu Yan knew how much this girl, who had never been cared for by her father, looked forward to being recognized.

Because of this, in Ailing's heart, this senior brother is enough to be two relatives alongside his father. Although she had become the darling of the researchers in Reyns, everyone was vying to please her, and Brother Lancelot and Sister Hua Bian Que also took great care of her, but she never forgot how much she missed those two relatives.

"I ...... I'm coming for you!"

In a word, Ailing's self-suppressed emotions can't stop leaking out.

"Senior brother, you're weird! Why are you here? Haven't you always stayed with Boomer? Why did you come to the human world? If you're here for sightseeing, then you can come to Reyns to find me, I'll definitely entertain you, listen to my team members, there are a lot of fun things in Jixia City, and there seem to be some very special clubs...... Well, they gave me a bunch of discount coupons, which I haven't even had a chance to use, and it's about to expire...... Anyway, why are you running to help that iron-masked villain?"

A series of questions are chaotic with each other, which shows how chaotic Ailing's mood is. She doesn't like struggle, she doesn't like hatred and confrontation, but she is more afraid of the scenes of hostility with relatives and friends in the past.

"This ...... There are a lot of things you don't understand. ”

Zhu Yan sighed and took a step forward, but Ailing unconsciously took a step back. She trusts this senior brother who has been very good to her since she was a child, and she also believes in his upright style, but the day before yesterday in the cave, the memory of being caught off guard by Gengoro in the acupoint is still fresh, and under high alert, she didn't even dare to take off her helmet and armor, and when she saw her senior brother approaching, her tense nerves reacted immediately, and after taking a step back, she realized that she had done something superfluous.

"Ah...... Brother, I'm sorry. ”

As if to show sincerity, the girl bowed deeply ninety degrees to apologize, however, this has made both parties understand that each other's positions have drawn an invisible gap for them, although they both try to avoid it, but the reality is such a cruel thing.

Zhu Yan sighed, no matter what he said, he was also Ailing's senior brother, and he couldn't put on a stingy appearance.

"It's okay, but ...... Little junior sister, do you think Master Gongjin is a bad person?"

This is a question that has been confirmed for a long time, Ailing nodded vigorously in a hurry.

"Why?"

"Because, he abused the technique of the Ancient Demon Dao! An upright and good person should use the Ancient Demon Dao in a meaningful way, not for the use of military force, this is the first lesson under the guidance of Teacher Huang Taiji, the technique of the Ancient Demon Dao should not fall into the hands of people with improper intentions, and now that the Tongtian Cannon falls into his hands, it will cause unease in the entire Wind Continent, so senior brother, you should not help him." ”

Ailing said loudly, she is commanding the Taiyan Academy with such a firm belief, however, Zhu Yan does not agree.

"Good people and bad people, it's not so simple to separate, as for Huang Taiji's teacher, although he said it soundingly, but when he was doing his own research, the experimental data was piled up with corpses, this kind of practice must not be recognized by the little sister, right?

This sentence made Ailing speechless, if it was purely to dismiss, she could argue that this was an early matter, and the teacher Huang Taiji in his later years had already realized that he was on the right path that a researcher should take.

However, Ailing is not a girl who loves to lie, she herself knows that in the essence of researchers, Teacher Huang Taiji and Sister Hua Bian Que, as well as many heavenly martial artists, have the same tendency to despise life, even when he meets him, if he really needs it, he must not mind letting the corpses around him accumulate like a mountain.

"This ...... This one...... About this ......"

"I don't mean to blame the little sister, but I just want you to understand that things in the world are not so simple, sometimes you like someone very much, no matter what he does, you will support him without hesitation. ”

If this was heard by Gengoro and Kai Jiaxuan, both of them would probably nod their heads vigorously!, however, Ailing thought of another thing.

"However, he abused those orbital light cannons and used some despicable means when fighting......

"What is considered a despicable method? Lord Gongjin is not a ranger of rivers and lakes, if you want to be brave with blood and five steps, you will receive a soft hand just in the duel book every day. He was the Anbang of Altino, and he was the military leader of the Second Army, who never tired of deceit, and took advantage of the enemy's weakness and fatigue to exchange the minimum casualties for his own victory, which is what a real hero does. ”

Zhu Yan said: "You can say that he is despicable, you can say that he is shameless, but the merits and demerits of heroes and heroes, future generations will have their own conclusions, an existence like Lord Gongjin, no matter whether the world praises or disparages, cannot but admit that he is a big man, even if you scold him as a turtle and a big bastard, it will not affect anything." ”

From the tone of the senior brother, Ailing was disappointed to find that he had a firm support for Zhou Gongjin, and it seemed that he was unlikely to make him change his position, but thinking that the negotiation failed and he was about to face the situation of being in the same door, Ailing still wanted to make some more efforts.

"But...... What Boomer hates the most is humans, senior brother, you are Boomer's only disciple, how can you help humans do things, and also help Zhou Gongjin make those ancient demon weapons?"
