Chapter 16: The Return of the Holy Mountain
"Ziyuan, Congrong, you two come over for a while. "Seeing that there is only one day left before the birth of the Scepter, and the matter of the birth of the Scepter has already been told before coming, it stands to reason that the gods should have avoided it, but the Star Sacrifice came in a hurry at this time, and I don't know what the chassis is about.
"Lord Star Festival, what's going on, so urgent. Shion asked as she walked.
"It's a problem. โ
"What's wrong?"
"That group of guys, when I negotiated four days ago, I told the other forces about the time of the Scepter's birth according to the plan, but I didn't expect that those guys actually made small moves behind their backs and invited reinforcements from the Asian camp. Star Priest said angrily.
"Isn't the grade of the Scepter only at the level of the Extreme Ability, why do you have to work so hard. Zuo Congrong asked suspiciously.
"Maybe Phyllis was too tough and annoyed the two of them. There is another reason, I am afraid that the bell on this holy mountain also makes them hear some clues, throughout history, it is difficult to find a bell with that crisp sound from the historical materials, these three parties should be thinking about taking the scepter into the bag, and they are afraid of losing too much, so they are very harmonious and at the same time invited reinforcements from the Asian camp. Star Priest said helplessly.
"Then we might as well have some more people. "Left from Rong Jian yรฌ road.
"There's no chance, I only got the news yesterday, it's too late to ask for reinforcements, and it will take three days to get here from the Asian camp at the earliest, it's too late. โ
"Who are the people here?" Shion asked after thinking for a moment.
"The Holy See invited Lan Lin'er of Thunderlight, the Dark Council invited Fan Jinhong of Red Lotus, and the Blood Clan invited Vice Captain Chengyang from Jiaoyang. Because they have only come here in the past few days, we have not collected any information, only knowing that these people are all extreme abilities, and the rest will be hard for you. โ
"Okay!"
......
"Sister Ziyuan, do you know who those three people are?" Zuo Congrong asked curiously.
"They are all masters of various forces, and I don't know what the armed capabilities are. Chengyang's Chengyang is a fire magician, and his strength should be weaker than Wang Dan, as for Lan Lin'er and Fan Jinhong, their strength should still be above Wang Dan and others, those two people are young representatives of the previous generation, and now that more than 20 years have passed, there must be progress in strength. โ
"Then what should we do? If we don't expose the Divine Domain, it will be very troublesome to deal with two people at the same time. Zuo Congrong said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you've forgotten the agreement you made nine months ago? The Dark Council shouldn't make a move on us, although Wang Dan and Sakura Luo don't know what grievances they have, but looking at the fight last time, the two sides should only care about each other. And, these three people are here, maybe not all bad. Shion smiled incomprehensibly and said.
"It's not all bad, what do you mean?" asked Zuo Congrong a little unclear.
"It's nothing, you go back first. I'll give Aunt Night a call. โ
โกโกโก
"Suzu ......"
On the seventh day, the expected fluctuations of the Scepter finally rang for the first time at dusk, when the sun was about to set. Although there was no fluctuating breath, people were still hearing the bell. The tense heartstrings trembled. The first fluctuation of the scepter caused the ten strong men to lose their lives, and those who survived were all more or less injured, and the blood stained the mountain tops in a mess, and the cruel reality was as if it were yesterday. The second movement after nine months. Nature once again evokes memories in people's hearts.
"It's finally here, let's go up. Aster, who had been waiting for a day, heard this voice. Sighing with relief, he calmly greeted the people behind him.
Since the faction council did not deliberately snatch a more superior route, the path chosen by Ziyuan and the others at this moment was much slower than that of other forces. However, Zi Yuan and the others did not deliberately speed up because they were delayed on the road compared to other forces, it was just a crisp bell that did not even appear in the fluctuating aura, indicating that there was still some time before the scepter was born.
After the group of people reached the top of the mountain, the people of the other three forces had already reached the top of the mountain. As Shion expected, although the people from all the forces arrived here, no one reached the place where the bell came from, and they each chose their respective positions quite tacitly, and divided into three camps around the far place where the bell came from, quietly observing the situation, probably worried that they would be attacked by the other two parties after rushing up.
"Suzu ......"
Zi Yuan and the others had just chosen a position, and the bell had stopped ringing for a long time, and suddenly it rang abruptly again, and for a moment all eyes turned to the side of the camp council. Everyone knows that in the last brawl, one of the faction councils released the Thunder Forbidden Spell, which caused the Scepter to fluctuate, and at that time people wondered if the Scepter would have anything to do with that person. And now, just after the camp council was about to stop, the bell happened to sound again, which naturally aroused everyone's suspicion again.
"It just so happened. Feeling the gazes cast by everyone, Shion explained.
"I don't need to explain anything, it makes people think that he really has something to do with the Scepter. Wang Dan said unconvincedly.
"That's right. It's so low-key this time, it's so far away that there will be no chance after the Scepter is born. Shion said to everyone teasingly.
"The Demon King Girl of the Imperial Capital?" As soon as Ziyuan's voice fell, a strange woman from the Holy See interjected.
"It's me, you're Lan Lin'er of Thunderlight?"
"Suzu ......"
While they were talking, as if they didn't want everyone to have time to communicate, a crisp bell reverberated again, focusing people's attention on the movement of the Scepter again.
"Sure enough, it is a divine creature that has accumulated thousands of years of beliefs and fantasies, and it still has such a heart. After paying attention to it for a long time, the bell sounded like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement, and Fan Jinhong, who felt a little like he had been fooled, was not angry, but said with interest.
"It seems that the Quartet forces, only the camp council has not asked for reinforcements. Wang Dan looked at Fan Jinhong of the Dark Council, turned his head to look at the camp council where there were still only two people, and said thoughtfully.
"Do you want to unite a few of them first and knock the faction council out of the competition?" Zion asked.
"Forget it, the combination of the battle is the most unreliable, maybe the allies will dismantle the backstage first. Besides, you two are not easy to gnaw on bones, and the scepter is fighting before it is born. When the scepter is born, I'm afraid I won't even have the ability to compete. โ
"Suzu ......"
"Hey, do you want to discuss it first. After another bell rang, Soxia, who had been an expert in peace talks before the first brawl, spoke to the crowd again.
"Discuss, discuss, discuss? I remember you said the same thing last time, and as a result, three people died on our side, what are you discussing this time, do you plan to let all the thirteen people behind me die before you are willing?" Wang Dan said without buying it at all.
"Last time it was just an accident, and four people died on our side. If you don't want to take countermeasures this time, I'm afraid the result will be worse than last time. Don't forget, everyone here knows that the Scepter will be born today. I don't know what others think, but at least I'm planning to strike after the scepter has a fluctuating aura. More than a dozen subordinates, with your ability, you should still be able to restrain it, but the interval between the bells is getting smaller and smaller, how to choose for yourself. Soxia said.
"What are your plans?" Hearing Soxia say this, everyone was also a little moved, after all, no one wanted the casualty incident last time to happen again, and it would be best if it could be avoided. Sakuraku asked.
"Restrain all your men, and wait for the Scepter to be born before you do it. Sosiya said yes.
During the discussion of "bell ......", the bell rang again.
"Ah Rong, what's wrong with you?" Ziyuan, who was still listening to Suo Qian Yajian, suddenly noticed that Zuo Congrong's expression was a little wrong. Asked with concern.
"It's nothing, let's see what they plan first. Asked by Ziyuan, Zuo Congrong suddenly woke up and came back to his senses.
......
"Wait until the Scepter is born before you do it? In the end, it's not the same. No, maybe worse than going with the flow. Lan Lin'er frowned, and said with some confusion.
"Not necessarily. In fact, there have been agreements in the past, if the scepter that was born belongs to it clearly, it will be collected by the force to which it belongs, and finally the corresponding material compensation will be given to the other three forces. Therefore, if you can survive until the Scepter is born, you will at least have a chance to avoid a scuffle. Sosia responded.
"Suzu ......"
"Time ......"
"Boom!"
Hearing this bell, Soxia was about to say that time was running out, but it turned out to be a sharp rise, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and in front of her, the place where the bell came from scattered smoke and dust, instantly covering the bells surrounded by the four forces, and an amazing momentum permeated from it. On the top of the icy mountain, the intense fire element melted the ice and snow into steam for a while. The constant sound of explosions made the people who couldn't react because of the sudden incident completely confused, and they didn't even think of launching an attack on the person who caused the chaos, so that the person who started the chaos was safe for a while.
"What's going on, who is it?"
The sudden blow caught everyone off guard. It was clear that the movement was not caused by the Scepter, and it was not known which daredevils had struck out at such a time.
"Ah Rong!" Compared to others, Zi Yuan naturally knew who this person was, just now I saw that Zuo Congrong was a little wrong, but he would never have thought that Zuo Congrong would do such a thing. Anyway, since the matter has happened, there is only a remedy, but Zuo Congrong is indiscriminately casting magic in the smoke and dust, the fire element has been completely activated, and the smoke and dust also make it difficult for Shiyuan to deal with. Not to mention that it is still unknown whether she can stop Zuo Congrong with her own ability, even if she has the ability to stop Zuo Congrong, but in addition to her, there are also strong people from other forces of Nine Lives, and by then, the two people in the camp council have already consumed too much and are unable to protect themselves. In desperation, she could only shout, hoping that Zuo Congrong could hear her voice and come over.
"Suzu ......"
After another bell rang, Xu was because someone took the lead, and the entire mountain top instantly fell into chaos, although the scepter still did not exude a fluctuating aura, it still couldn't stop the footsteps of the strong men, and rushed towards the center of the explosion.
"What is this Zuo Congrong trying to do, Fei Ya, look at who you have found. Seeing the scene in front of her, Sosia shook her head, helplessly embodying her arms. Even she couldn't figure out why something unexpected happened every time.
"What should I do, do it?" Seeing that the scene was out of control, Chengyang turned his head and asked Wang Dan.
"Let's look at the situation, don't worry, the most important thing is to preserve your strength. Now it's pointless to get involved, if you get involved in a melee, even you're afraid you won't be able to get out, don't forget, there's still a Zuo Congrong inside. Wang Dan said.
"I didn't expect this situation to happen again, don't the people in the European camp have some brains? Aaron too, what the hell is going on. The chaotic scene in front of him made Moment's headache complain.
"Aaron!" Aster shouted eagerly again. Although the other nine people from the Asian camp have not yet made a move, despite this, the number of strong men in the smoke and dust is now more than ten. And now Zuo Congrong seems to be a little unclear, it is really difficult to predict whether he can protect himself, and if he releases Lei Zhu, he is worried that Zuo Congrong will be injured, and the tricky situation actually makes the demon king girl, who is known for her intelligence, helpless for a while.
"Suzu ......"
With the shout of Aster, the bell that had been getting shorter and shorter rang again, as if in response to the expectations of these strong men who had fallen into madness, and after a long prelude, the fluctuating aura that had not been felt for more than nine months also echoed with this voice. More than a dozen strong men in the smoke and dust were rushed in the center of the erupting breath, and they were instantly blown down from the top of the mountain, and Zuo Congrong was also in the middle of it. Where did Ziyuan dare to slack off, he didn't care what was going on with the scepter, and chased after him from Rong to the left.
Due to the strong fluctuating aura, the dense smoke and dust stirred up by Zuo Congrong were also completely blown away at this moment, and the entire mountain top, except for the surface destroyed by Zuo Congrong, was restored to its original state again, and the scepter that people were expecting still did not appear.
"Death Scythe!"
"Wand!"
"Outfit! Outfit Enhancement!"
"Demonization!"
"Luoshui!"
"Aomine!"
"Feather!"
"Firefiend!"
Although the Scepter has not yet been born, the powerhouses of the Asian camp have chosen to embody their weapons. Even if they are as strong as them, they have completely lost the ability to control the situation at this moment, and the only thing they can do at the moment is probably to do their best to snatch the soon-to-be-born scepter. (To be continued......)
