Chapter 41: The Journey
After the battle, the city lord Li found Lei Peng and said.
"Senior brother, are you leaving by yourself, or do you want me to ask you to leave!"
Lei Peng said with a meaningful smile.
"The backer city, right?"
After saying that, he laughed and walked away.
In a wide open space in the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of people were carving an inscription on a strange building.
The lower part of the building is paved with a half-human high Xuanjing as the base and is oval-shaped, and it looks like a boat from above.
Suspended above are columns of transparent crystals, each corresponding to the carved inscription of the crystal below.
The new director in charge of the City Lord's Mansion was accompanying City Lord Li on his rounds.
The city lord Li asked as he looked at the formation that had not yet been arranged.
"How much longer?"
The new director thought for a moment and said, "It will take seven days at the earliest." ”
City Lord Li looked at him with a stern face.
"It's not finished in seven days, so you can go with Uncle Shang."
On the other side, Tu Feng was talking to Wang Ran.
"Brother Wang's battle yesterday can be described as a desperate counterattack and a fight to become famous."
Wang Ran didn't answer, but asked him with a smile.
"You must have made a lot of money yesterday."
Tu Feng said with a smile when he heard it.
"I bought 10 million Xuanjing to buy you to win, but the dealer can't afford to lose, and then I'll ~"
"But I found out that the person who opened the market, and the woman was in the group, it can be regarded as revenge for you!"
Wang Ran asked again.
"Brother Tu, you are well-informed, can you see that woman has thunder and lightning exercises?"
Tu Feng said after thinking for a while.
"The Zhenzhou Qin family is a thunder lineage, and they are high-profile in their lives and recruit disciples, so Kyushu has the most thunder system exercises."
"The thunder system exercises practiced by that woman are rough and unbearable, it is difficult to see who the teacher is, but the thunder mangs in your body are extremely pure."
Wang Ran suddenly remembered Lei Peng.
He and the city lord seem to have only a former brother-in-law relationship, and the city lord has said it at the wine table before.
After leaving the division, they had little contact.
Thinking of this, Wang Ran asked Tu Feng again.
"Can you see this Lei Peng's cultivation technique?"
Tu Feng was asked like this and said thoughtfully.
"Do you suspect that Lei Peng is behind the scenes?"
Wang Ran nodded, and then said.
"There were so many things when he appeared."
Tu Feng could see that Lei Peng paid special attention to Wang Ran, most of which was for the red medal.
Thinking of this, Tu Feng said disdainfully.
"If he does something sneaky, he'll be glad he didn't mess with me."
Wang Ran thought in his heart when he heard this.
"You are all half a pound and eight taels, one is strong and the other is despicable, and you still look down on others."
At this moment, the city lord Li arrived, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that Wang Ran and Tu Feng looked at him differently.
He said with a dry cough.
"The subordinates are not doing their jobs well, and it will take seven days for the space teleportation array."
Wang Ran leaned back in his chair and looked at the City Lord Li and asked.
"Lei Peng is a person who majored in thunder exercises."
As soon as the city lord heard this, he knew what he wanted to say.
So he sighed and sat aside, and said with a look of hindsight.
"I was about to tell you the truth, the so-called knowing people and faces don't know my heart, I thought he was really passing by Fenglan City to see me."
"I didn't expect to calculate us with all his heart, and he came completely for the red medal."
Wang Ran leaned forward sharply and stared at him and asked.
"What about people now?"
City Lord Li shook his head and said.
"It's gone, I caught a few people who did things for him, and you left after you won the last game."
This is difficult to do, Wang Ran is very worried about Yuan Congcong's safety.
Seeing Wang Ran's ugly face, the city lord could also think of what he was worried about, so he said.
"Don't worry, Congcong is here for me to watch, and it is said that Lei Peng went out of the city in the direction of Genzhou."
"Genzhou!"
Tu Feng was not happy when he heard it.
"He is not reluctant, can he issue a city lord killing order."
The city lord said with an embarrassed face.
"I'm afraid not, he hasn't been a traitor and a thief, and he has learned decent thunder exercises, although I don't know who the master is, I'm afraid he has some background."
"In this way, the city lords of other cities may not necessarily cooperate."
"I'm afraid that once this matter gets bigger, it will have an impact on your affairs."
Tu Feng's impression of Lei Peng is that he is greedy and bottomless, unscrupulous if he does not achieve his goal, if he is driven to the backing city, I am afraid that there will be an accident.
Wang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't implicate Yuan Congcong anymore, he would look at the other difficulties when the time came.
He even had some hope that the two of them could do it in the backing city.
But he asked if he thought of something.
"With his cultivation, how long will it take to reach the backer city at the earliest?"
The city lord thought about it and said.
"About a year at the earliest."
Wang Ran calculated in his heart that it had been more than a year since he left Shangyu City, and he didn't know if Pei Yong had already arrived at Motianling.
At the same time, he also thought that since Tu Feng could know, I was afraid that he would meet a lot of strong people there.
This also made him firm in his determination to keep Yuan Congcong, not to mention Pei Yong, Tu Feng alone didn't know how to deal with it.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the city lord has come to inform him that the space magic circle has probably been prepared, and it can be used after testing it tomorrow.
Wang Ran was very curious about what the space formation was like, and proposed that he wanted to take a look at it tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Ran stood in front of the formation like a big ship, carefully understanding the subtleties in the middle.
Although the crystals on the pedestal are one by one, they are connected by the inscriptions engraved, and from time to time they emit bursts of blue light.
Those inscriptions are the coordinates for the ultimate purpose of the space channel, and as long as one place is wrong, there will be unexpected deviations.
The transparent crystal pillars of different heights above the Xuanjing, the city lord Li introduced that this is the ethereal crystal, the material for building the space array.
Then the test began, and the city lord took out dozens of fist-sized transparent gems glowing with blue light, and placed them in the grooves of the Xuanjing.
I saw that the inscriptions on the Xuanjing brightened one by one, and then one after another cyan blue light shot into the ethereal crystal pillar.
Then the stone pillars began to move in an orderly manner, either up and down or sideways from side to side.
In a short time, a portal in the shape of a ship's hull was formed, and then a buzzing sound sounded, and the stone pillars vibrated at a high frequency.
"Attention!"
City Lord Li reminded.
As soon as the words fell, a huge suction force came from the portal passage, and for a while, some stones and other things were sucked into it.
It lasted about half an hour, and a roar sounded like hell.
A thrust that repelled the suction force in front of him erupted from the portal passage, and the powerful Gangfeng wind made Wang Ran's body a little unstable.
This state lasted for another incense stick, and everything gradually calmed down.
Now I look at the portal passage again, and I see that there is an earthy yellow ground at the end of the passage, and there are stones scattered all over the ground.
The ethereal spar pillars on both sides exuded colorful light, and Wang Ran was dumbfounded.
City Lord Li said with some pride.
"It's okay, I'll arrange for you to leave tomorrow."
That night, Wang Ran found Yuan Congcong, and after the two of them had a rainy day, Yuan Congcong said reluctantly.
"Brother Ran, you must come back alive, I have no relatives except you."
Wang Ran nodded firmly.
