Chapter 12: Night Clan
"Dragon species, is it the closest demon beast species to the main god?"
"Exactly, the power of the dragon species is much stronger than that of a concubine."
"How long does it take to cross the sea?"
"Ten days."
"What about crossing the Rainforest?"
"If there were no external forces, you would be able to see the town in three days."
"In addition to that dragon demon beast, are there other demon beasts in the Rain Quiet Forest?"
"Under the influence of the dragon demon beast, the strength of the demon beasts in the Yujing Forest is stronger than that of the demon beasts in the ordinary mountains and jungles, and the power of the concubine body has been assimilated by the divine sword, and now there is only the strength of the Immortal Sect, and the two sisters of Zhu Yu and Jin Ying are also the strength of the Immortal Sect now, if they encounter ordinary demon beasts, our sisters can still resist it, but we are afraid that if we meet the immortal emperor-level demon beasts in the Yujing Forest, the three of us sisters are afraid that they will not be able to cope with it."
"I have the inheritance of the two predecessors of the Sword Immortal and the Sword Ghost, and at the same time, I also have the blessing of the Divine Sword, and now that my own immortal veins have also awakened, my sword technique should also have the power to fight with the Immortal Emperor level demon beasts, plus the mecha puppet should be able to easily break through the Yujing Forest."
"As long as the dragon beast doesn't make a move." Zhu Yu said.
"Alright, let's go."
Xiyun asked the three of them to return to the Divine Sword, and he rushed towards the Yujing Forest. In the early spring, the rain is drizzling in the forest, and Xiyun wearing a black raincoat shuttles between the trees, and Xiyun has been circling with all kinds of monsters along the way. Most of the demon beasts in the Rain Forest exist in groups, they all have their own territories and do not interfere with each other, only Xiyun ran around like a fool and broke into the territory of this tribe, and then broke into the territory of that tribe, either running away or fighting.
"No wonder it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to survive in this Rain Quiet Forest, under the influence of dragon demon beasts, the demon beasts in this Rain Quiet Forest are extremely fierce, and there is a tacit understanding between the demon beast group and the demon beast group, but it is the 'outsiders' who have no demon beast breath on our bodies."
"The master wants to see the good side, at least the true guardian of the rain forest didn't make a move." The green scales transmitted the sound of the tide clouds, and the tide clouds that jumped in the forest stopped in agreement.
"Master, ahead is the exit of Yujinglin." Zhu Yu reminded that the tide clouds that stopped on the branches of the trees gathered spiritual power in their pupils, and enhanced their eyesight to see the two towns not far from the Yujing Forest.
"Wouldn't those two towns be so close to the Rain Forest that they wouldn't be attacked by demon beasts?"
"This is already the periphery of the Rain Quiet Forest, as if the territory of those demon beast groups has not reached here. It is estimated that the guardian of the Rain Quiet Forest came down to order that the demon beasts of the Rain Quiet Forest should not be allowed to get close to the periphery of the Rain Quiet Forest. Golden Shadow said.
"That's the best, I've been chasing me for five days." Xiyun jumped off the branch, turned into a golden light in mid-air, flew out, passed through the layers of rain curtains, and left the range of the rain forest.
The two closest cities to the periphery of the rain forest are only separated by a wall, but there are two cities, the north is called Star Rain City, and the south is called Falling Rain City, Xiyun took off his raincoat and walked to the Star Rain City.
"Who?"
Starrain City seems to be under martial law, and the soldiers defending the city stopped Xiyun.
"The prodigal son from Excalibur." Xiyun showed his token to the soldiers defending the city, and the gold-inlaid "sword" character on the front and the long sword with silver inscription on the back showed that he was a cultivator from the Divine Sword State. Qingyu Kyushu has its own tokens, all of which are forged by the order-makers of each state, and the rule-makers can be the strongest force or an alliance of multiple forces.
"People from the Excalibur State?" The soldiers guarding the city took Xiyun's token and looked at it carefully, and after making sure that the token was not fake, he returned the token to Xiyun, "Let's go in, in the next few days, there will be a competition for the Hidden Dragon List in Starrain City, and the young talents of various families and sects have gathered in Starrain City." There are still a few days left before the start of Dabi, and the various forces will definitely use all means to deal with the top young talents of the hostile forces, this is not the Divine Sword State, you are isolated and low-key. ”
"Huh?" Xiyun wondered why the soldier in front of him would say this to him, but before he could think about it, the soldier urged him to hurry into the city and not hinder his work.
"Master, the temperament of the soldier guarding the city is not ordinary, and the concubine feels that he is definitely not an ordinary soldier guarding the city." Green scales transmit sound tide clouds.
"You see that, too?" Xiyun agreed with Qing Scale's opinion, "I guess that person is a general or something, no matter what his identity is, but he seems to know my identity." Xiyun walked towards an inn in the distance, and the soldiers who stopped Xiyun at the city gate had been staring at Xiyun's back in the distance.
"General." Another soldier walked up to the soldier, took the soldier's helmet and armor, and helped the soldier change into a more intricate silver dragon armor, "General, don't we need to keep him in the army for protection?" ”
"Lord Demon Emperor just asked us to secretly protect and assist him, and keeping him in the army may cause unnecessary trouble. No matter what he comes to listen to Yuzhou do, let's do our job well. ”
"Yes."
"Shop, are there any vacancies?" Xiyun walks into an inn, and as it gets dark, Xiyun needs to find a place to live.
"Yes!" The innkeeper trotted all the way over, "There are three more upper rooms, how many do you want." ”
"One," Xiyun casually summoned a bag of gold coins and threw it to the boss, the boss took the money bag and weighed it, the amount was considerable, "I think I will live for a few days, if this bag is not enough, you can find me again, if I have money left when I leave, I don't have to look for it." Go and prepare some food and bring it to my room, I'm a little hungry. ”
"Yes." The boss picked up the money bag and then motioned to the shopkeeper to take Xiyun upstairs, and he went to the back to prepare food for Xiyun. After about two or three incense sticks, the shopkeeper brought the food to Xiyun's room, and at the same time made a pot of good tea for Xiyun.
"Thank you." Xiyun threw a gold coin to the shopkeeper as a tip, and the shopkeeper immediately lit up when he caught the gold coin, and thanked him and retreated.
The common currency of the Green Domain, silver coins, gold coins, purple gold coins, silver dragon coins, gold dragon coins, and purple gold dragon coins. One dragon pattern purple gold coin is equal to ten dragon pattern gold coins, equal to one hundred dragon pattern coins, equal to one thousand purple gold coins equal to ten thousand gold coins, equal to one hundred thousand silver coins. The annual income of an inn like this is about seven hundred gold coins, and the annual income of an ordinary working family is one hundred gold coins. Like the shopkeeper of this inn, his annual income is thirty gold coins, and the gold coin that Xiyun gave him is equivalent to half a month's income, so he is naturally overjoyed. In an ordinary inn, the annual rent of a room like this is about 100 gold coins, and the money bag that Xiyun threw to the boss brought 200 gold coins, and the boss could see that Xiyun would not live permanently, probably because he knew that the Qianlong Gang Dabi came to join in the lively casual cultivation, so he was also very happy to have a big wrong.
"Childe, you're up so early."
The next day, Xiyun got up early in the morning, and when he got downstairs, he saw that the store was settling accounts, and he should have prepared various ingredients for today.
"Boss morning." Xiyun stretched, "When will this hidden dragon list start?" ”
"There are three days left, and the streets will be more chaotic these days, so it's better for Childe to stay in the room."
"It's boring to stay in the room all the time, are there any bookstores and academies in this city?"
"Childe is coming to Starrain City for the first time?"
"Yes," Xiyun sat down at the table, and the boss quickly made a pot of tea and brought it to Xiyun's table, "I have always followed my master to practice in the mountains before, and I don't know much about the outside world. ”
"There is a academy in the west city of this Star Rain City, but that academy is now being requisitioned by the Night Clan."
"NightClan?"
"The Night Clan is one of the eight clans in Tingyu Prefecture, the main sphere of influence is not far from the Night City, and its patriarch Night King Ye Dongchen is the strength of the Immortal Sect, and it is the only Immortal Sect in Tingyu Prefecture, and the three major generals under its seat are all Immortal Zun strength, so the strength of the Night Clan itself is also the first of the eight clans."
"I heard the name Ye Dongchen mention it from Master, and Master said that among his many defeated men, this Ye Dongchen was not bad." Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, and Xiyun is addicted to it, scaring the boss. The boss was really bluffed by Xiyun's words, and the hand that poured tea for Xiyun trembled slightly.
"You go get busy first."
"Yes." The boss retreated, probably preparing breakfast for Xiyun.
"This is it." After breakfast, Xiyun set off to the academy, the name of the academy is "Qingyang Library", and there are two people dressed in black outside the gate of the academy, and there are waist cards engraved with the word "night" engraved on their waists. Xiyun stepped forward to talk to the two Night Clan disciples.
"Two brothers, the younger brother is from listening to the rain in the mountain of loose cultivation, farewell to the master after going down the mountain, I have always heard about the hidden dragon competition, so I came to this star rain city thousands of miles away, but I learned that the hidden dragon competition will take some time to start, bored and thought about coming to this academy to study to relieve boredom, and I hope that the two brothers will make it convenient to go in and inform the younger brother so that the younger brother can enter this academy." As he spoke, Xiyun summoned two crystal clear red crystals and sent them to the two Night Clan disciples. These two spars are spirit crystals refined from the emperor-level flame-based demon beast spirit core, and refining this spirit crystal can greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of emperor-level cultivators and below, which is a priceless treasure in the market. The two disciples in front of Xiyun should be Venerable-level fire-type cultivators, so Xiyun was sure that he could completely impress the two of them by taking out two emperor-level fire-type spirit crystals. Sure enough, the two of them saw Lingjing's eyes immediately straightened, so they quickly put Lingjing away, and one of them immediately entered the academy to report, and after a while, the disciple walked out with a middle-aged man in black.
"Childe, please." The middle-aged man invited Xiyun into the academy, "I don't know what the teachership of the son is?" ”
"It's inconvenient to disclose Shizun's name, it's just that Shizun is good at the secret technique of the puppet, and the secret technique of the puppet has also been passed on to the younger generations."
"Puppet mystery? Could it be that person's disciple? ”
Xiyun and the middle-aged man moved to the hall of the academy, and a figure in the sky had been watching the two of them, and when he learned that Xiyun had learned the secret art of a puppet, he quietly turned into a purple light and left. Looking at Xiyun again, the middle-aged man took Xiyun to the academy lobby, where another middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time.
The middle-aged man in the upper seat was dressed in black with an eagle pattern, with a fair face and long black hair, and he had a bit of the temperament of "strategizing and winning thousands of miles away".
"The Night King." The middle-aged man who came to the lobby with Xiyun saluted the man in the upper seat and then retreated.
"Childe, please be seated." The man motioned for Xiyun to take a seat, and Xiyun also sat down on the guest seat on the man's left hand side.
"Since Childe said that he is a disciple of this king's old friend, can you show this king to prove his identity?"
"Absolutely." Xiyun summoned five golden orbs, and with the control of Xiyun's spiritual power, the five orbs released their power at the same time and turned into a golden magic circle, and with the translation of the golden circle from top to bottom, five golden mecha puppets in the style of auspicious clouds and rui beasts appeared in the lobby. The five puppets look exactly the same, the only difference is that the auspicious cloud beast patterns on their bodies are purple, green, blue, red, and brown. Xiyun just waved his hand casually, and the eyes of the five mecha puppets lit up, and then rushed to the man in the upper seat at the same time, the man did not react for a moment and hurriedly released his power to stop the five puppets in mid-air, and then saw the five puppets disintegrate at the same time, and countless parts flew back into the five orbs respectively, and then returned to Xiyun's side.
"Sure enough, it's his disciple, and the five puppets of Gongzi almost broke through the blockade of this king."
"The seniors just didn't react for a while, so they were taken advantage of by the juniors." As he spoke, Xiyun withdrew the orb.
"Childe is modest, back then, this king didn't take advantage of your master's puppet secret technique, and he almost lost his life." The middle-aged man sighed. At this time, Xiyun's heart was just funny, and he didn't expect it to be really a thing when he bragged casually.
"This king is the night king of the night clan, Ye Dongchen, you are the disciple of this king's old friend and the son and nephew of this king, this king will give you this token, and you will be free to enter and exit this academy and my night clan's base camp Night City in the future, and the status of my night clan is the same as that of my night clan county lord."
"Thank you, senior." Xiyun took the night word token sent by Ye Dongchen, there were more patterns on it, and it seemed that it should be much more advanced than the two disciples guarding the door outside.
