Chapter 232: The Empty City
The starry sky in the plain is extremely bright, if you close your eyes and perceive it, it is very easy to find those starlight that have been born, of course, for the star gathering powerhouse, this move seems to be a bit redundant, as long as the star is still there, their star elements can be endless. Of course, just because they can condense their star elements doesn't mean that their star elements won't run out, and if they use some powerful martial arts or maintain their realm all the time, they can still easily deplete their star elements.
But Chu Ge seems to be an exception, he has already stepped into the Star Gathering Realm, and the condensed star element is far more refined than the ordinary Star Gathering Star, but he does not have a life star, and it can also be said that the stars of the entire universe are his life stars. Although he could only absorb a portion of the starlight now, he had a feeling that as his cultivation grew, the number would also increase. However, there is one thing worth caring about, his aura often fluctuates high and low, not to mention him, even the old man lying in the rocking chair outside the gate of Tianyu Academy doesn't know what is going on.
For him, this Mrs. Chu is really an outlier.
There are few hills in the plains, and the vision is extremely open, and at night, the starlight outlines undulating lines on the horizon of the sky, and I don't know how far apart they are, these lines look extremely blurry, but fortunately, there are some things, so that people are not blind.
It didn't take long for the two of them to meet other contestants in the plains, either from Shushan students or young talents from all over the mainland. There was a faint smell of blood on the plains, and in the darkness of the night, these smells were even more irritating to the underlying madness in the brain. Of course, it is natural that people who can come here will not be ordinary people, and without firm confidence, I am afraid that I would have lost my way in the illusion behind the mountain. Far from driving them crazy, the smell of blood made them much more cautious, and whenever they encountered a living person on the road, they would choose to avoid it as quickly as possible.
Not everyone is like Chu Ge, who did not make any preparations for information and intelligence before attending the conference. In fact, the vast majority of people, long before they arrived, had access to the guò family or sectarian forces to obtain information about many contestants. In this information, in addition to the cultivation strength of the contestants, as well as the details of their origins, they are clearly written, so that they can know which people they can afford to provoke and which ones they can't touch.
Zhang Heng is one of the people who can't be touched, even if the Qingyun Conference is judged by personal strength, but there are a few people who are beyond it. After all, the behemoth of his Zhang family is still lying in the Alien Demon Domain, and this single seedling is the reverse scale of this giant beast, who would be stupid enough to tease him?
Of course, the news in this independent space is closed, and even if the sky turns upside down, it is impossible for the outside world to know what is happening here. Zhang Heng's identity background is terrifying, which means that he himself is a mobile treasure trove, who can get his top-level space ring, aside from the value of the ring itself, the contents are only afraid that the saint will be red when he sees it, everyone knows that the Zhang family is the most powerful and wealthy family on the mainland, and where will the things that this son and brother carry with him will be missing.
What's even more heartwarming is that the news here is blocked, as long as his mouth is extinguished, even if the old man of the Zhang family has great ability, he will never find out who the murderer is. Everyone knows this, but once this idea pops up in their hearts, it is equivalent to planting a poppy seed in their minds.
Along the way, Chu Ge more or less understood the meaning contained in those eyes, jealousy and greed, and he wanted to start but lacked the slightest decisiveness.
"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to go all the way with you. Chu Ge propped his forehead, his reputation was only limited to Shushan, and there were far fewer rumors about him from the outside world, but Zhang Heng was different. Of course, because of this, he and Zhang Heng walked together to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, but once those people can't suppress the greed in their hearts, things will definitely become more troublesome. If it didn't succeed and Zhang Heng walked out alive from here, the people who were waiting to do it would be a catastrophe, and this disaster would inevitably spread to the family or sect behind them.
Zhang Heng naturally understood the meaning of Chu Ge's words, why didn't he understand his current situation, and it was precisely because he understood that he would be more rampant than anyone else.
"It's naturally your blessing to go all the way with Young Master Ben, I don't know how many people are crying and begging to be with me. ”
"Oh...... Don't look for me when you're writing poetry. ”
"Can we not mention this?"
Chu Ge had long been accustomed to this guy's speaking style, and he didn't care much about it, but he just felt that it was hard to maintain such a handsome and arrogant image in front of those girls. However, there are no other girls here besides the beasts lurking in the shadows, what are you pretending to be?
"I think those people look at you like they're looking at a big fat sheep, and the so-called husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”
Zhang Heng smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "It's just a few wastes with thieves' hearts and no guts, pretending to be some kind of beast, I am indeed a fat sheep, but the fangs of this fat sheep are much sharper and more dangerous than them." ”
Zhang Heng is indeed qualified to say this, although he is not on the Qingyun list now, on the one hand, he has not participated in the Qingyun Conference, and on the other hand, because he has never shown his true strength in front of the world, even if a great person like the master is not born to know, his initial ranking of the mainland's youth is just a final conclusion from the screening of countless information, of course, part of it is his old man's casual behavior.
Therefore, even the master didn't know Zhang Heng's true strength, let alone these people? But because of this, the two of them hadn't been attacked once until then, and no one knew Zhang Heng's true strength, so naturally they couldn't make a decision. Therefore, these people are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for him to show his true strength and take action in person, as for the anger of the old man of the Zhang family, the world is in chaos, this is not within their consideration at all, and only interests are in the eyes of these people.
Mocking and damaging each other all the way, the two finally saw the true face of the undulating lines after a dawn broke through the night. It was a complex of buildings, these buildings were no different from the blue tiles and black stones of the mortal world, there were towers and tall buildings, and these buildings formed a city, and they suddenly appeared in front of the visitors on this endless plain.
All the climbers who entered this place through the guò space tunnel probably had the same expression when they saw the city, not that the buildings were so grand and tall, after all, no one could have imagined that there would be such a huge city in an independent space above the holy mountain.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes. Everybody knows what the city means, but as they get closer to the city, they gradually realize that something is wrong, and the buildings are covered with green vines. The walls are covered with rubble and cobwebs, and the walls are full of cracks, as if they would collapse at the slightest touch.
Whether it was once glorious or not, all that remained was a few ruins, and the morning breeze should have been cool, but when it swept through the building and carried away the yellow sand, it suddenly became gloomy and blew so badly.
"There are quirky ......"
The city has no tall walls, no moats, it is a combination of buildings and towers, and all the buildings are of the same color. Of course, the strangeness that Chu Ge said was not the building itself, but the fact that they spent a lot of unnecessary time through the level in front of Guò, so there should have been many pioneers when they arrived here, but this place was still dead silent, which seemed a little unreasonable.
"The girl should arrive before us, whether my suspicion comes true or not, finding her first is the safest option. If a strange demon really got in, even now she can't face it alone. ”
Zhang Heng did not object to Chu Ge's opinion, because he had lived in the Alien Demon Domain since he was a child, and although he had never really entered the hinterland, he knew better than anyone what was terrifying. Even in the face of the greedy eyes of those outsiders, he can regard the other party as a reptile, but the alien demons are different, and he has to admit that the alien demons who have the ability to sneak into here are definitely not something that one of them can deal with alone, not to mention, no one can determine the number of the other party. Zhang Heng is indeed arrogant, but he is not arrogant, he knows very well where the limit of his strength is, once the opponent exceeds this limit, he will definitely not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke the other party.
At the foot of the holy mountain, the old deans received some news from the mountain. Every time the Qingyun Conference gathers some geniuses in the true sense, the pillars of the future of mankind, as the organizers, they must do this flawlessly, from the screening of the invitation letter to the identity verification, from the distribution of personnel to the operation of the Demon Punishment Array, it can be said that every little detail is done extremely seriously, for fear of any mistakes. Even, although the contestants are not forbidden to kill and grab treasures on the holy mountain, there are also many highly qualified medical personnel. Although this world is natural selection, survival of the fittest, but after all, these people are the future of mankind, and their death and injury affect the fate of a family and even a sect.
But this year seems to be a little different, because the old deans who thought they were in control of a qiē changed their faces as news continued to come from the mountains one by one, because the development of the situation was already beyond their control.
