Chapter Seventy-Four: Staggered

"I don't know why it's suddenly blocked." Cao Lingyan frowned a little impatiently, "It's only been more than a month since the last time the whole city was on alert, and now it's coming again, Xingzhou is really not a good place."

She spoke loudly, but at this time, no one around them noticed them.

In fact, it wasn't just the two of them talking about it, the streets were almost crowded with indignant monks, waiting at the door of the Qianyuan Sect and the Xingzhou branch of the Six Dao Alliance, wanting an explanation.

If it is said that there was a reason for the incident last time, everyone can understand the eagerness of Qianyuanzong to track down the criminals. But this time, they were not given any reason, and they were not allowed to leave the city, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's anger.

"Let's go to the branch." Qin Zhen said.

She didn't think that Shen Qifeng would do such a thing when the secret realm was still open, it would not do him any good, it would only push Qianyuanzong to the forefront again and damage the reputation that Qianyuanzong had accumulated over the years. The only person who can do such a thing at this time is Xiang Rong.

The two of them walked towards the Xingzhou branch of the Six Dao Alliance, which was already full of people.

Before he could get closer, he heard an angry shout, "Why do you want to lock us all up in the city? No other state's capital city has ever done anything like this, so why do this to us!"

As his voice fell, various echoing voices were heard from the crowd.

Qin Zhen glanced at these leaders, took Cao Lingyan's hand, and said softly, "Do you still want to take a look here?" There doesn't seem to be any clue either."

"With so many people here, the people of the Six Dao Alliance can't hide inside and not come out, they have to give a clear message, what is the matter now." Cao Lingyan resisted the urge to do it.

Qiu Sixian didn't discuss it with her before, so he told Yu Chan that neither of them would return to the sect. If Lu Yue hadn't taken advantage of Qiu Sixian's absence before the game to secretly ask her, she wouldn't have known that there was such a thing.

After knowing that Qiu Sixian was advocating for him, Cao Lingyan quarreled with him, and then contacted Yu Chan and said that he wanted to return to the sect. As a result, before she finished reading the account book at hand, she encountered the blockade of Yangping City, and she couldn't get out. If she hadn't just met Qin Zhen now and invited her to live temporarily, if she hadn't been with Qin Hao, she would have been unable to bear to quarrel with Qiu Sixian every day.

"Okay." Qin Zhen didn't say anything, seeing that Cao Lingyan's expression was still impatient, he said gently, "You don't have to worry too much, it shouldn't be blocked for too long."

"Hopefully." Cao Lingyan let out a long sigh, only thinking that Qin Zhen was comforting herself.

She had always felt that Qin Hao had other intentions and was unwilling to have a deep friendship with her, but since that time Qin Hao fell into the crack of the city protection formation and she cut the teleportation array with her own hands, she couldn't let herself look at Qin Hao like this anymore.

Qin Zhen, who was so guarded by her, obviously hadn't done anything yet, but she, who was flying the flag of "noble", did something to hurt her first. Although it was the right thing to do to destroy the city protection formation at that time, she couldn't continue to guard against Qin Hao with peace of mind just because such an act was right.

And after removing the original prejudice, she got along with Qin Zhen again, and looked at her from more angles.

She found that Qin Zhen was actually very talkative, and she was a good listener, no matter what the other party said, Qin Zhen could answer the conversation calmly. And as a partner, she also has the advantage of emotional stability, Cao Lingyan has seen Qin Zhen for a long time, and she has never seen her angry.

Although she hasn't become a close friend all of a sudden, she and Qin Zhen are getting along very well now.

As more and more people gathered in front of the Xingzhou branch of the Six Dao Alliance, the scope of the riot became larger and larger, but no one came out to stop it.

Finally, when the crowd was about to attack the gate of the branch uncontrollably, a coercion enveloped everyone, causing every monk present to freeze and not move.

"The Young League Lord is inspecting the main city of Xingzhou, and the main city needs to be temporarily blocked to ensure the safety of the Young League Lord, you just need to go back and wait for a few days.

I don't know where the voice came from, and it resounded throughout Yangping City.

By the time the coercion had dissipated, many of the monks were already trembling because they could not bear the coercion, and they were pale and helped each other to leave.

"Young Alliance Master?" Cao Lingyan frowned suspiciously, "Why did the Young Alliance Master of the Six Dao Alliance come to Xingzhou at this time? The game is not over yet, and it is not good to show that you are close to Xingzhou now."

Qin Hao paused before saying, "Maybe it's a game between them. Anyway, knowing that it's not a big deal, you can rest assured."

"Yes." Cao Lingyan sighed, "It is estimated that the Young Alliance Master will stay for a few days and leave, and then I will be able to return to the sect."

She looked at Qin Hao, remembered Qin Hao's identity, and couldn't help but say, "It's also very hard to maintain a sect like you, it's said to be a sect, but compared to the Qianyuan Sect, it can't be called a real sect. The Water Moon Sword Sect where Qiu Sixian and I are is is an empty shell sect, but the sect leader Yu Chan ...... She is also very ambitious, but in such an environment, she can only climb up little by little like she is now." Chinese Net

This is the second time Qin Zhen has heard Yu Chan's name.

It's just that the first time I heard it was Zhang Lanmeng scolding Yu Chan, and the second time I heard it was Cao Lingyan's maintenance of Yu Chan. Sure enough, even if a person has never changed, different people will have different opinions about her.

No one can be liked by everyone.

"It's hard work." Qin Zhen said slowly, "After all, it's what you want to do, and you are willing to do anything for this goal."

"yes." I don't know what this sentence reminds Cao Lingyan of. She was depressed, and just silently followed Qin Zhen towards the weapon shop.

When he went back, Qiu Sixian was no longer in the store.

Cao Lingyan looked at the ledgers that were still piled up on the table, and was so angry that the depressed mood just now was swept away, and he pinched the communication jade handle fiercely and was about to question him.

Qin Zhen was not good at helping with reading the account books, so she gestured with Cao Lingyan and walked to the rest place on the second floor of the store.

After she came out of the Occultation City, she returned to Yangping City from the teleportation array, but she didn't know if it was a coincidence or what, but she ran into Qiu Sixian and Cao Lingyan.

When they saw them, the two of them were arguing about something, or rather, it was Cao Lingyan who was unilaterally venting his anger on Qiu Sixian, but Qiu Sixian always just had a smile on his face, allowing Cao Lingyan to scold him and not say anything.

Qin Zhen originally planned to take a detour.

She only felt very powerless at that time, and just wanted to go back to the familiar Tianyi Sect and be quiet in her room.

As a result, Qiu Sixian's sharp eyes saw her, and then Cao Lingyan came over and asked her why she came to Yangping City, and whether her previous injuries had healed.

She omitted her experience in Occultation City, and simply said that she was here to wait for Ye Yousheng's competition to end.

As a result, Cao Lingyan uncharacteristically took the initiative to invite her to live with them for a while, saying that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and it just so happened that the game was not over now, so she should stay with them instead of finding another place to live.

Qin Zhen was about to refuse at that time, but when her eyes flickered, she saw a fleeting smile on Qiu Sixian's face. It wasn't a friendly smile, it was more like a cozy end in itself.

So, she pursed her lips, peeled herself out of her exhaustion, took Cao Lingyan's outstretched hand, and said gently, "Thank you."

After sitting down by the window, Qin Hao sighed softly.

After knowing that it was not a serious matter, she first sent a message to Heng Mingzhi, telling him not to worry. Then he began to think about the affairs of the Young Alliance Master of the Six Dao Alliance in Xingzhou.

She can't use exhaustion as an excuse to relax just because something has happened to her. She can't stop thinking, she has to not let go of any details, and take everything into her own hands, so that she doesn't let herself leave this world quietly.

The jade slip given by Zheng Yunmin in his arms began to heat slightly for some reason.

Qin Zhen took out the jade slip, and in the sun, the jade slip was slight

Shine.

When I first got it, Qin Zhen had seen it, and there were no words on it, it was just a very ordinary wordless jade slip. It's just that now, as its temperature gradually rises, a word slowly emerges on it-

"Devouring".

Qin Zhen rubbed the word with her fingers, it was obviously just a word that appeared out of thin air, but when it was touched, there was a faint roughness.

And in the next moment, the word "devouring" suddenly began to emit a dazzling light.

Qin Zhen subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but when the light finally dispersed again, she was no longer in the room, but appeared outside a city gate.

She looked up, and there were three big words written on it: "Occult City".

But this wall was different from the one she had seen before, which had collapsed to a detriment, and it stood majestically, dutifully playing its role in defending itself.

Is this a return to the former Occultation City?

Qin Zhen silently put away the jade slip in his hand and looked around.

Does Zheng Yunmin know that the jade slip she gave has such an effect? If she knew, then why didn't she use Jade Jane's ability to go back in time and change that ending? If she didn't know, then why would she keep a useless jade slip by her side all the time and give it to others as a gift?

If this is really the former Occultation City, then will she be able to see Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan here again?

Before she could continue to think, a noisy human voice could be heard in the distance.

More than a dozen board carts came from afar, covered with black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside. And there are many people, guarding the side of the cart, but they don't look very nervous, but they are relaxed, talking and laughing along the way.
