Chapter IV: Investigation (1st Update)
Hundred-foot-high city walls.
This is the most majestic and huge city wall that Yunhong has ever seen.
The countless ravines on the city wall bear witness to the wind, frost, snow and rain it has experienced.
Like Dongyang County, it is one of the three major cities in Yangzhou at the same time, but the city wall is more than 30 zhang high, only one-third of the wall of Changbei City.
"Tower?" Yun Hong looked at from afar.
In the aisles of the city wall, there is a metal tower about 10 zhang high every few hundred zhang, and each tower is engraved with mysterious patterns, making the huge city feel like a whole.
At the same time, the sky above the city gathered a rich aura of heaven and earth, exuding an invisible but palpitating power.
"Is it the guardian formation laid by the immortals?" Yun Hong said secretly.
Dongyang County City and the Mountain Gate of the Extreme Dao Sect all have similar immortal formations, and they are usually laid down by some powerful immortals who spend a lot of time and energy.
In this way, a large area can be protected.
"Does it feel different from other cities in Yangzhou?" said Hei Liu, sitting in the carriage, with a smile.
"Hmm. Yun Hong nodded: "More slaughter." ”
"Haha, this Changbei city is called Chengchi, but it is actually a military city. Hei Liu said with emotion: "There are relatively few ordinary residents in the city, less than two million, and the garrison troops sent from all over Yangzhou exceed two million, which is the first line of defense for Yangzhou to resist the Xikun Demon Clan. ”
"The millions of people left are either caravan merchants like us, or traveling warriors like you, Lord Yu. ”
Yun Hong nodded.
He had all these messages in the book.
Since Emperor Chengyang, the human race and the demon race have been fighting endlessly, for more than 6,000 years.
The four seas are the world of the demon clan, and the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Hall is located in the South China Sea.
On the mainland, the Terrans have the absolute upper hand.
In the middle of Kyushu, most of the land monsters have been exterminated, making the entire Kyushu a paradise for the human race to live in peace, and it is also the source of the human race.
However, this does not mean that the land demon clan is weak, on the contrary, they are still strong.
The Eastern and Central Regions are on the same continent, so why are they separated into two regions?
Because.
A Kunxu Mountain Range, which is 10,000 miles wide and stretches for more than 60,000 miles, separates the two regions from north to south, becoming an insurmountable natural danger for ordinary humans.
This is the first mountain range in the world, and it is also the lair of land demon beasts, giving birth to countless demon beasts, and there are many demon kings and demon gods who can fight against the human immortals.
For thousands of years, the demon clan of the Kunxu Mountain Range and the human race in the two directions of the Central and Eastern Regions have fought continuously, and it is difficult to help each other.
In the central Kyushu, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and the Kunxu Mountains are bordered.
The front line of the war between the two clans in the direction of Yangzhou is Changbei County.
Therefore, Changbei City has become an important town in the world.
And because Changbei County is directly facing the westernmost residual vein of the Kunxu Mountains, this residual vein was named the Xikun Mountains by the human race.
There is nothing to do in Changbei, and Yangzhou is safe.
If Changbei is broken, the world will be shocked.
"Two hundred years ago, the demon clan of the Xikun Mountains poured out of the nest, broke out a super-grade beast tide, captured Changbei City in one fell swoop, and followed Changbei Road into the hinterland of Yangzhou, and finally suffered tens of millions of casualties. Black Six sighed.
Yun Hong nodded slightly.
The first-level beast tide is a major event, and it may affect several counties, such as the chaos of the Black Dragon King in the Black Dragon Lake when Yunhong was a first-level beast tide.
The super-grade beast tide represents that a state is in danger of overturning, and all parties in Kyushu must be rescued.
The highest level is the Kunxu Beast Tide, which is an all-out war between the entire human race and the Kunxu demon race, and the scale is so bloody that it is unimaginable, and there are only a few times in the history of the entire human race.
In the 300 years since the establishment of the Great Qian Empire, Yangzhou has experienced two major dangers.
The first time was the fall of the Ningjiang Pass that deterred the East China Sea Demon Clan two hundred and sixty years ago, and the second time was the fall of Changbei City two hundred years ago.
These two times, they were all super-grade beast tides.
.....
Yun Hong and Hei Liu talked slowly all the way.
Soon.
The caravan is only more than ten miles away from the west gate of Changbei City, and when you arrive here, the caravans that come and go from Changbei City and various counties are numerous, and there is an endless stream.
"Brother Black, let's separate here. Yun Hong said with a smile.
Hei Liu waved his hand, and the surrounding caravan guards quickly withdrew more than ten meters.
"Thank you all the way to Lord Yu for taking care of me, I am grateful, we are an ordinary caravan on the surface, but in fact it is a caravan under the name of Nanchen Hou Mansion, there are hardships hidden all the way, I hope your forgiveness, what trivial things do you have in the future, you can come to Nanchen Hou Mansion to find me, report the name of Black Willow, I still have some ways in the city, I can solve my worries for adults." Black Six said respectfully.
"Good. Yun Hong smiled slightly.
Yun Hong thought about it in his heart, Nanchen Hou Heiluo was one of the nine town guards in Changbei City, and this black willow was actually under his command?
"Da~Da~Da~"
Yun Hong rode the dragon spirit horse and quickly disappeared into the flow of people.
"Keep walking. Black Six's face returned to coldness, and the huge caravan continued to move forward.
.....
On the hundred-zhang high city wall of Changbei City, in a corner, there are several figures standing here, led by a young man in a brocade robe, his face is handsome, but his eyes are gloomy.
Many, all looking at the city from afar.
"The team of the Nanchen Marquis Mansion has reached ten miles outside the city. ”
"Young master, you see, the white-robed young man who was separated from the team of the Marquis of Nanning and rode on the dragon spirit horse, it was he who stopped us and shot most of the Yanqi under my command. The tall and thin man said in a deep voice.
In his eyes, there was an unforgettable hatred.
"He?" The brocade-robed young man looked at Yun Hong, who was passing by on the official road below, and frowned slightly: "It seems that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, Grand Grandmaster?" are you sure?"
"It's true. The tall and lanky man affirmed.
"At such a young age, he has the strength of a great grandmaster, and he estimates which immortal sect he is an elite disciple. A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the brocade-robed young man: "However, those who dare to spoil my good deeds, those who dare to kill me, and still run to my territory, even the heirs of immortals will have to die." ”
"Liu Shi. The brocade-robed young man looked at a gray-robed middle-aged man standing aside.
"Young Master. The gray-robed middle-aged man said respectfully.
"That white-robed young man is so powerful, he came to Changbei City alone, he must have entered the Xikun Mountain Range to slay demons. The brocade-robed young man said coldly: "Go and check, what is his name, where he lives, which team he joins, and background information.... Check it all out for me. ”
Liu Shi, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, said: "Yes." ”
.....
The other side.
After entering the city with the caravan to pay the taxes, Heiliu instructed a few masters of the Leakless Realm, and then blended into the crowd alone, and finally entered a huge mansion along a small door.
After that, he entered a side hall.
In the side hall, a young man about twenty years old in a blue robe was waiting.
"Young master, I am fortunate to live up to my mission. Kuroyanagi said respectfully.
"You secretly sent me a message to say that someone helped you solve the trouble and killed more than twenty Yan Riders?" said the blue-robed young man in a low voice.
"Hmm. Heiliu nodded, and quickly told the big and small things along the way.
"Yu, the Great Grandmaster who is less than twenty years old?" A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the blue-robed young man: "Such a powerful character, it should be the true disciple of which Immortal Sect." ”
"I've sent someone to investigate, but there are many people in the city, and I'm afraid it will take some time. Heiliu said: "However, this Lord Yu is here to explore the Xikun Mountains, and he will definitely stay for a long time, and he will be able to find out sooner or later." ”
"Well, since you have broken your arm, don't go out again, go get the elixir to take, and stay in the mansion to be in charge of intelligence in the future. The blue-robed young man commanded: "You have made a great contribution this time, there is a Guiyuan Pill in the house, you go and take one pill." ”
Heiliu's eyes were full of joy: "Thank you, young master." ”
Guiyuan Dan, if you spend money to buy it, the price is amazing.
"You can mobilize all the intelligence forces in the Hou Mansion, after Yu's true identity is found out, don't bother..... I want to get acquainted with such people, and maybe it will be beneficial to me in the future. The blue-robed young man commanded.
"Yes. Kuroliu nodded.
The blue-robed young man immediately smiled again: "This time I am restrained, it is difficult to send someone to help you, it's just that the Yan Qi under Guan Chengyan's command is only two hundred in total, and this time there are more than twenty dead, I don't know if he is distressed." ”
