Chapter 189: Sky City
Lu Chengfeng heard the kindness of the Liu family sisters.
It sounds like she's just asking how to deal with it, but in fact it's implied that she wants to help solve it. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chengfeng still refused, saying that it would be good to leave it to himself. After all, he provoked these guys, and he was embarrassed to trouble the master. Besides, a truly strong man needs enough enemies to grow, and he just uses them as whetstones.
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng was so confident, the sisters didn't say anything more.
If it was when he first saw Lu Chengfeng, he was only a fourth-order strength, and the sisters might not be at ease. But in just such a short period of time, he has grown to such a height, and he has defeated a master like Zu Liang in a duel, so they have nothing to worry about. Unless the Changyuan City Lord of the Tang River Empire sent a powerhouse above the seventh order to chase and kill, no matter how bad it was, he would be able to retreat with his whole body.
After chatting casually for a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zu Liang and the Liu sisters left one after another.
The guest room arranged by the Liu family for Zu Liang is in a corner of the inner courtyard, and the decoration is quite luxurious. It's just that not far from them are two magic golems in charge of guarding. Obviously, the Liu family is still a little wary of this martial artist of unknown origin. Although Lu Chengfeng reached an agreement with him, he also had two doubts in his heart. For this reason, he also specially asked the sisters of the Liu family to help investigate Zuliang's identity.
A sixth-order martial artist who can master the dragon and tiger thoughts, and the Void Ancestor who is as strong as a cloud will definitely not be unknown. If his identity can be confirmed, Lu Chengfeng can be more assured that he will be hired.
It's just that the Void Ancestor is far away from the west coast, in the northern part of the continent. The people there are fierce, self-contained, and relatively xenophobic, and the Liu family has no connections there. It takes a long time to find reliable information. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng is not in a hurry, and his life on the west coast is very leisurely, in addition to the cultivation that cannot be touched by thunder every day, it is to domesticate the golden-winged thunder eagle that is growing rapidly, or the leisurely daily life with the Liu family sisters and the girl of the war method.
Before being reborn, he was a prince, no matter what he did, he had to be scruples and worried, how could his current life be so carefree?
More than half a month later, the news from all sides gradually fed back.
As Lu Chengfeng expected, Zu Liang's identity was not a secret in the Void Ancestor. The people of the Liu family only briefly described Zu Liang's bald appearance and general strength, and then found out his information. This person is from a martial arts master of the Void Ancestor Demon Retreat Group. Moreover, that master had already stepped into the ninth order thirty years ago. There is news that he has already advanced to the holy level in a few years. Only such a strong person can train such an excellent sixth-order martial artist.
From the news from the Void Ancestor, there was nothing wrong with it, which made Lu Chengfeng feel a lot more relieved.
On the other side, Chen Liu also came from Kaiyang.
Because Mi Wei's condition was so bad at that time, Lu Chengfeng rescued people and separated from him after returning to Kaiyang. After completing Lu Chengfeng's commission and giving the collected neutralizer to Xu Mingjie, Chen Liu began to recuperate from his injuries while patiently waiting for news. After the matter was done here, Lu Chengfeng decided to stay on the west coast for a while, so he sent someone to send a letter to Chen Liu.
Then he followed.
Together, there was also the good news that Xu Mingjie had been successfully promoted to a senior alchemist, as well as the two bottles of Victory Light Elixir that he had personally made. After gaining inspiration from the classics of the Heavenly Wind Empire, Xu Mingjie refined this brand-new potion in one fell swoop and advanced smoothly.
The arrival of Chen Liu gave Lu Chengfeng another available person by his side.
Speaking of which, there is a Holy Rank Tactics who has received his life-saving grace as a backer. Further down, there is also a fifth-order loyal subordinate and a temporary sixth-order martial artist fighter. Friends, and the Liu sisters. In Kaiyang, he also got in touch with the Yue family of the Sword Suppression Mercenary Group and the Apocalypse Sect. With these connections, which are either deliberately or coincidentally, Lu Chengfeng has a considerable strength.
Compared to the downfall of the first few days of rebirth, Lu Chengfeng is now much stronger in all aspects, and he is no longer a third-order little swordsman who can be threatened by anyone.
Several people who accepted the Liu family's bounty and came all the way from Kaiyang to chase him down seemed to be aware of this. After confirming that they could not break into the Liu family, they disappeared from the Liu family's surveillance one night. Lu Chengfeng didn't know if they had hidden their traces after discovering the anomaly, or if they had decided to give up and go home. In short, I never heard from them again.
During this period, Lu Chengfeng also fulfilled the agreement reached with the Liu family.
On the Mofeng Continent, there is a family with a ninth-order powerhouse in charge, which can be called a big force. But the top forces that can really stand tall must have a saint-level master in charge. Although the Liu family has been entrenched on the West Coast for hundreds of years and has in-depth cooperation with the Mage Guild, it is not without threats. Therefore, the two ninth-order high-level mages of the Liu family had an unimaginable obsession with breaking through to the holy level.
For this reason, Liu Sanhuan found Lu Chengfeng twice.
Considering that the rise of the Liu family actually has no conflict with himself, and he has a good relationship with the sisters of the Liu family, it is likely to go further in the future, so Lu Chengfeng did not refuse. After the Liu family paid for all the colorless crystals, he carved the rune array again, allowing the evil god Kazan to descend for the second time.
Although they had already experienced it once, they were still shocked by the unfathomable power of Kazan. For the family that can command such an evil god, they also have more awe. Of course, with the emergence of powerful power, mixed with the increase of the Mage Tower, when Liu Sanhuan and Liu Wendong entered the quasi-saint level realm again, they didn't have the heart to sigh, but began to comprehend the new realm with all their hearts.
In the space of a month, the power of the Mage Tower was used twice in succession, which was enough to make the disciples within the Liu family and some cooperative allies uneasy. But for the Liu family, breaking through the Holy Rank is the number one priority. Any other issue must give way.
After this realization, Liu Sanhuan and Liu Wendong began to retreat one after another.
From the joy of the two of them, Lu Chengfeng knew that it should be a great gain. It's just that the Holy Order is not so easy to enter. Even with the help of Kazan's power, it only gave the two of them an extra chance. He just did what he promised, and whether he can cross that threshold or not depends on the talent and hard work of the two mages of the Liu family.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Chengfeng would most likely continue to live in the Liu family for a few months, or until he broke through the sixth order. After the sixth order, Lu Chengfeng's strength with the Dou Qi armor will be greatly improved, and he will consider going out for a trip. It's just that with the rotation of the gears of fate, some disasters that have been designed long ago and are enough to affect the future of the entire Ink Wind Continent still happened.
The current Lu Chengfeng is just being swept into the aftermath of a little storm.
The ripples of the aftermath come from the secret that the Mage Guild has been guarding - the city in the sky!
More than a month after Lu Chengfeng came to the West Coast, that is, at the beginning of May, there was an inexplicable torrential rain on the West Coast, and at the same time, there was an oppressive but violent magic fluctuation. In the early morning of the next day, when Lu Chengfeng got up to continue the morning class, he found that the atmosphere in the Liu family had become solemn, and several high-level mages had disappeared.
This made Lu Chengfeng realize that something big must have happened.
Of course, Chen Liu and Zu Liang also realized this, and went out to go around, but they didn't find anything unusual outside. Thinking of the Liu family's actions before, Lu Chengfeng vaguely knew where the problem was. Not long after, the sisters of the Liu family came to the door together, which also proved this.
Different from the usual casualness in their own courtyard, at this moment, the sisters of the Liu family have changed into their respective mage robes, and they also have their magic staff in their hands. The fire elemental on the phoenix decoration at the top of the staff fluttered, indicating that the owner's mood was not calm. Seeing Lu Chengfeng get up to greet him, Liu Yuhan said directly: "Chengfeng, something big happened in Sky City." ”
After learning from Chen Liu that nothing unusual had happened outside, Lu Chengfeng guessed this. After all, the existence of Sky City is a secret, known only to the rulers and high-ranking mages of the past generations, and it is almost impossible to reveal it to the outside world. Lu Chengfeng already knew about it, so the Liu family did not deliberately block the news from him.
"What happened?" Lu Chengfeng asked, "Is it related to yesterday's rainstorm and that strange magic fluctuation?"
"It should be, since then, there has been a problem with the magic array guarding Sky City. There is a part of the circle, pouring out magic at a frantic rate. Some of the monsters that exist inside have also been affected, becoming violent and irritable, and extremely aggressive. ”
Lu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "When we separated half a year ago, this situation already appeared in Sky City, right?"
Liu Yuhan nodded and said, "Indeed, the magic array had already begun to leak at that time, but under the handling of the Mage Guild and the Liu family, it had been initially stabilized and rejoiced. But after yesterday's rainstorm, the situation of the magic array began to deteriorate sharply, even if the Holy Rank powerhouse of the Mage Guild personally took action, he couldn't suppress it. At this rate, it will only take two or three days for Sky City to be completely unfolded in front of the world!"
"So bad?" Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised.
The existence of Sky City is too shocking, and there are too many secrets hidden in it. After losing the Guardian Magic Array, the leaking aura will also have a serious impact on the surroundings. Because of this, its existence has been blocked by the Mage Guild, so much so that it has always been just a legend. If it does, the West Coast doesn't know how much trouble it will make. Moreover, from the anxiety of the Liu family sisters, Lu Chengfeng also saw something else. If it was just this matter, there would naturally be the Mage Guild and the higher-ups of the Liu family to worry about. When they came to see themselves early in the morning, they should have a place to find themselves, but what could it be?
