As soon as Xu Yuan and Lou Ji entered the secret room, the inductive inscription lamp immediately lit up.

The center of the Huizhou County City Protector Array is composed of a cave about 178 zhang deep, the whole is a rectangular shape, the wall surface is neatly repaired by special stones, and there are stone ladders spiraling down at the edge.

Through the light emitted by the inscription lamp, the countless mysterious patterns engraved at the bottom of the cave can be vaguely seen.

Walking up the stone staircase to the bottom, the footsteps of the two echoed in the empty crypt.

Gradually approaching the bottom, Xu Yuan looked at the flickering formation routes, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a touch of admiration.

The formation is worthy of being a creation of the human race.

With only a cursory glance at his vision, he sensed the immense power within.

"Sister, is this Huizhou County's city protection array really just Ding and others?"

The pair of high-heeled lotus boots on Lou Ji's plump jade legs stepped on the ground crisply, and he came to the center by himself, while pouring Yuan Qi into it, he didn't answer, and asked rhetorically:

"The first time you've seen the center of the Protectorate?"

Xu Yuan watched the thick formation patterns that gradually lit up around him, illuminating the entire crypt transparently:

"I basically stayed in the barracks in the Northern Closure City before, and I never went to the formation center."

"That's right."

Lou Ji muttered, concentrating on two things, and while inspecting the large array of city guards through the center, he replied with a chuckle: "The county seat is naturally a first-class, and the second-class formation consumes too many resources, and there are too many county-level cities, and now the finances of the imperial court cannot support such a large amount of expenses." ”

The formation has evolved together so far, and there are countless side door branches, but they are roughly divided into ten levels according to the strength and weakness of the heavenly stems.

Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui is the next six grades, the common people and wealthy businessmen can engrave themselves in the mansion, such as the sound avoidance array, lock the spirit array.

A, B, C, and D are the fourth class, and as the military of the imperial court, the city protection arrays of counties and counties at all levels in the territory of Dayan are all in this list.

Huizhou County, as an administrative unit at the county level, engraved the city protection formation is the Ding class, which belongs to the weakest class in the weakest military rank.

However, no matter how weak it is, it is also the city's opponent array, and the most basic requirement is to be able to resist the powerhouses of the mortal level.

This is the most important part of the system built by the Great Yan Dynasty to maintain the stability of the world.

Since the founding of the country, it has begun to be built little by little, and until today, the great array of city protectors has covered all the cities in the entire territory of Great Yan.

It can not only prevent the rebels from attacking the city, but also prevent high-level cultivators from making chaos to a certain extent.

The experience of the ancients belongs to yes.

However, when it came to the end, Xu Yuan felt that the experience of the ancients was a bit unreliable.

Ding and the other big formations were able to prevent mortal-level powerhouses in a completely theoretical situation.

It is indeed not difficult to deal with the transformation when the formation is well preserved and fully operational, but if a powerhouse of this level really wants to make trouble, who would be stupid and wait for you to run all the formations before making a move?

Moreover, formation maintenance is also a problem.

Like now.

Xu Yuan saw the killing intent on the face of the old lady beside him.

When a possible assassination is imminent, the purpose of their visit to this small city in Huizhou County is actually very simple.

First, the existence of the Tianxun Crystal was covered up by the communication wafer of this city, if he didn't come here, it would be a little weird for Feng Jiuxuan to come to his aid directly.

Second, try to defend against the possible assassination with the moats here.

However, looking at Lou Ji's expression now, most of their second purpose was in vain

Xu Yuan's tone was slightly solemn:

"Something went wrong with the formation?"

“.”

Lou Ji took a deep breath and turned her eyes back, with a hint of helplessness:

"Changtian, if you don't kill those people, they will die now."

Xu Yuan's heart sank slightly.

yes, it looks like something is really wrong.

And judging from the tone of this old lady with such a heavy tone, the problems in this Huizhou County City Protector Array should not be small.

Xu Yuan subconsciously thought of the Spirit Storage Pool.

The Spirit Storage Pool is a supporting facility that will be established by each Great Array of Protectors, which continuously absorbs the Heaven and Earth Source Qi to gather artificial spiritual liquids, or even artificial Source Crystals, in peacetime, and stores them for the needs of wartime.

Most of the officials in the border city didn't dare to touch this thing, after all, in case an alien race called, the spiritual liquid source crystal reserves in the spirit storage pool were a life-saving straw.

But in the peaceful area of the Central Plains, this spiritual pond is the hardest hit area of corruption.

After all, it is not necessary to see a war after being in power for decades, but the spiritual liquid is a good thing worth a thousand gold, whether it is used for cultivation for yourself or your family, or it is a good choice to take it out and buy it.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan touched his Sumeru Ring and said loudly: "If the spiritual liquid in the Spirit Storage Pool is empty, there are still a lot of remaining source crystals in my Sumeru Ring, which should be enough to maintain this city protection array."

"There's really not much spiritual liquid left in the spirit storage pool, and the problem isn't here."

Lou Ji interrupted Xu Yuan's words and pointed to the glowing thick formation under his feet:

"There are a total of seventeen formation hubs in the city protection formation here, and all the source qi passages have to run to all parts of the city through these hubs, but now two of them have completely lost their reaction, seven are in a semi-paralyzed state, and there are only eight hubs that can operate normally."

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Yuan's eyes, who had already understood some of the principles of the formation through the fourth sister, couldn't help jumping.

The eight calves of this king and the eight calves demolished the east wall here and made up the west wall.

The materials involved in the cultivation path are all extremely valuable, and at present, the level of loss of the Huizhou County Protective City Array is not hundreds of thousands of taels at all.

Anyway, there is no war, and there is no need for the city protection array, so it is better to directly buy the array mage and let him help lie, and then use the silver to dot up and down, and do some visible political achievements for the benefit of the people, and the rest of the silver can still be greedy for ink spots.

Win-win, oh no, win-win.

A world in which no one will be hurt has been achieved.

Xu Yuan thought about the reason, and immediately asked:

"Shall we leave now now and continue south?"

Nine of the seventeen formation hubs are broken, and now the entire Huizhou County's city protection array is a sieve, concentrating all the power of the formation for a little bit may be able to pose a little threat to Shenfan, but as long as the Shenfan powerhouse patiently circles around Huizhou County for a circle or two, it is not difficult to find dozens of weak points to break the formation with their eyesight.

Staying in it, the city protection array can't play any protective role.

However, as soon as the words fell, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly froze, and his eyes looking at Lou Ji took on a hint of weirdness.

He thought of another possibility.

If they opened a big formation here, and the group of people in the Heavenly Prison Pavilion dared to break the formation directly, it would be a rebellion.

In this season when the rites have not yet collapsed, if this hat is buttoned up.

"No, we'll leave immediately."

Lou Ji saw what Xu Yuan was thinking at a glance, and refused directly without waiting for him to speak: "It is impossible for ordinary people to know my whereabouts, but don't forget, Changtian, that holy woman clearly knows that I am with you." ”

"Tianyan probably won't."

"Bang!"

A smile flashed in Lou Ji's charming phoenix eyes, and she raised her hand and a brain melon popped into Xu Yuan's brain.

Xu Yuan rubbed his head in pain.

"Are you sober?"

Lou Ji looked at him, chuckled and asked:

"Sister, I also want that girl to not, but now we have to assume that she will do it."

“.” Xu Yuan was silent.

Even with the portable communication of Tianxun Source Crystal, the speed at which Feng Jiuxuan and Xu Changge rushed from the Imperial Capital to them should not be comparable to those who supervised the Heavenly Pavilion.

And if the other party dares to start with Lou Ji by his side, it means that there is an existence in the other party's group that can drag Lou Ji.

As long as Lou Ji is dragged down, even if there is only one Yuan Chu left to deal with his condensed soul, it will be more than enough.

Lou Ji's voice was faint:

"Changtian, I hope you will put your own life first in the future, not to mention a rebellious hat, even if you destroy the Heavenly Pavilion, it is not as important as your life."

Xu Yuan nodded silently and asked:

"Since they are leaving, what about Li Yunqing and them?"

"Their goal is you, and as long as I take you away, their safety."

"No, Li Yunqing's kid should have hole cards, I think I can bring him on."

“.” Lou Ji.

After a moment of silence, Lou Ji did not agree to this proposal:

"Take you away at my sister's speed, and those who are bent on escaping will probably not be able to catch up."

Lou Ji has a high opinion of these three princes, but she is unwilling to bet on the other party's possible hole cards.

Xu Yuan's eyes were a little regretful when he heard this.

It seems that this pit can't be deflated.

Just thinking in her heart, Lou Ji suddenly asked:

"Changtian, is Luo Xiran really credible?"

In this situation, she must eliminate all possibilities.

"Credible."

Xu Yuan did not hesitate at any time about this question.

At a time when the Origin Ghost was extinct, it was almost impossible for Luo Xiran to reproduce another one of his lifelong research, and she would not watch him die with this.

"Okay."

Lou Ji's voice was also crisp and neat, and after answering, she immediately said:

"Senior Luo, please also protect Changtian's body, if you start to do it, I'm afraid this seat will not have time to care about Changtian."

Voices, echoing in the empty crypt of the chamber.

There was silence for a moment, and Luo Xiran's gentle voice came out lightly from the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant on Xu Yuan's chest:

"I don't need to be reminded."

Words fall,

When Xu Yuanzheng was puzzled, a cool silk spread from the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant on his chest, enveloping his whole body almost instantly.

Black dead nails.

The familiar touch made Xu Yuan immediately realize that this was Luo Xiran controlling the fungus blanket and forming a fungus to protect him.

But soon, Xu Yuan discovered the difference in the past.

This cool touch did not stop at the surface of his skin, and gradually penetrated into his body through various acupuncture points.

"It's."

"Your little ghost's body is too weak, if Chief Lou cultivates at full speed with you, you will be seriously injured."

De, deep-sea accelerator.

Xu Yuan knew in his heart that he did not resist.

Feeling the fungus blanket that was constantly penetrating into his body, Xu Yuan found that his body might have undergone a ghostly transformation, and he didn't have much rejection for this fungus blanket.

Even, he had a faint instinct in his heart that he could manipulate these fungus blankets.

The huge secret room crypt was quiet for a few breaths, and Luo Xiran's voice quietly sounded again:

"Alright."

Before the words fell, there was a strong sense of dragging, which directly made Xu Yuan's eyes bloom.

When his vision was restored again, Xu Yuan suddenly found that he had come out of the secret room.

Overhead is the boundless blue sky, and below is the bustling Huizhou county.

After glancing around in a trance, Xu Yuan reacted to his position, and silently hugged the old lady's white swan-like jade neck.

It's a princess hug again, but it's not the first time anyway.

And

The soul condensation powerhouse was hugged by the princess of the half-saint powerhouse, and he shuddered.

I want to be the original powerhouse in the illusion, but he is also a princess who has hugged a lot of people, as the one who hugs people.

Stagnant in the air for a moment, Lou Ji instantly turned into a purple light and galloped towards the sky.

But this gallop only lasted for a moment.

Xu Yuan's vision rotated rapidly, and then stopped suddenly, and when he returned to his senses, he realized that Lou Ji's figure stopped at the edge of Huizhou County.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan didn't have any doubts in his heart, and he sank directly.

Lou Ji won't stop for no reason.

And as he thought,

In the next moment,

The bright sky dome suddenly darkened, and a dazzling light like a star lit up from the top of a hill a few miles away from Huizhou County!

The light cluster turned into a beam of light in an instant, piercing through the void and shooting towards Huizhou County.

And the trajectory of its march is exactly where Lou Ji is galloping!

If it weren't for Lou Ji's figure suddenly stagnating, she and Xu Yuan would have collided directly with this long-planned beam.

The beam of light swept through the void and passed by the two of them, shooting into the distant sky.

One breath,

"Boom !!!"

The wind surged, and a loud loud bang resounded directly through the entire sky!

Quiet for a moment,

The shaking of the ground and the shaking of the mountains caused chaos to explode in the county below in an instant.

The incomprehensible cries and frightened scolding instantly filled every corner of Huizhou County.

Lou Ji, who was standing in the air, did not make any movement, looking at the top of the hill where the beam of light was shooting expressionlessly.

There, a woman in a black dress wearing a mask slowly floated into the air, her skirt fluttering, and her slender jade legs loomed.

Seeing this scene, Lou Ji pulled Xu Yuan off of him and threw him in the air casually.

“.” Xu Yuan.

Little by little, the turquoise pupils glowed with a deep purple glow, and the killing intent like a substance began to entrench around Lou Ji.

assassination

Here we go.

The sunlight sprinkled like a waterfall on the courtyard of the deep alley, falling on Li Yunqing and the enchanting woman who were grinding their temples on the stone table.

The sudden loud noise that resounded in the sky directly frightened Li Yunqing, and he hurriedly pulled his palm out of the woman's open placket, and raised his eyes to look in the direction where the voice sounded.

And the bewitching woman he pressed under him saw this, and said in a slightly panting voice:

"Your Highness. Those people seem to be coming. ”

Hearing this, Li Yunqing looked at the sky, then at the charming woman under him, and smashed his mouth:

"Tsk, right away. It's going to be good right away. ”

After that, he was ready to move skillfully and continue to enjoy the fish and water, this woman passed through the eldest brother's teaching things he liked quite a lot, and he had to save it one last time.

"Boom!"

Before his thoughts fell, an afterimage smashed straight into the courtyard, smashing the pavilion on the side and setting off a puff of smoke.

Xu Yuan rubbed his head and got up from the smashed hole, he was not injured due to the protection of the fungus, but the rapid fall still made him a little dizzy.

However, in his mind, he recalled the spell that looked like a beam of light just now, and the woman in the black dress.

The woman made him feel a touch of familiarity.

Thinking in my heart,

Get up, look around,

And then

“.” Li Yunqing.

“.” Xu Yuan.
