Chapter 350: Lockdown
After leaving the Celestial Star Tower, Han Li, like the other monks, walked along the White Rock Square towards a nearby street, quickly merging into the flow of people around him.
Black Wind City is the most prosperous place in the Black Wind Sea, and this is also the most prosperous place in Black Wind City, and he still has some impressions of the shops and buildings on both sides of the street.
It's basically the same as it was back then, just a few of the most lively streets, and a few more extremely luxurious shops, and these shops are also doing very good business, and many monks come in and out, and they can't stop for a moment.
Han Li casually walked into a nearby street.
Most of the shops on this street were material shops, and he glanced back at the Star Tower, and walked one shop after another.
The area of this shop was not large, and there were not many customers in the store, and a guy saw Han Li come in and immediately greeted him warmly.
"What materials do you need, this guest officer?"
Han Li casually began to talk to his fellow man, but his gaze kept looking towards the Heavenly Star Tower Square.
Half an hour had passed, and there was still no movement in the square.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, a figure appeared in a remote corner of the square, and a group of monks appeared.
One of them was the hunchbacked old woman, and the few people behind him were the group of white-clothed monks, and the middle-aged man with sword eyebrows was impressively in the ranks, but he was at the end of the group.
Several people did not linger there, and immediately all of them flew up, flew away in one direction, and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
Han Li's heart moved, and he secretly said sure enough.
If he remembered correctly, that direction was the location of the Island King's Mansion.
After buying a few random materials, he left the shop and looked in the direction where the group was flying, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Then Han Li shook his head and turned around and walked in the other direction.
No matter what the relationship between these people and the Black Wind Island Lord is, what they are trying to do, it should have nothing to do with him, in that case, it is better not to cause trouble for yourself.
Han Li walked along the street, passing through several streets, and when his figure came out of a secluded alley, his appearance changed again, turning into the appearance of a yellow-faced man.
It was easy for the Impermanence League mask to transform into an appearance, and basically every place he passed along the way, he would change into a new appearance, just in case.
For the rest of the day, he wandered around the Black Wind City, filling in all the things he was missing.
Perhaps because the Black Wind Sea has more frequent contacts with the outside world than before, the city is indeed much more prosperous than before, and all kinds of spiritual materials, pills and other things that were quite rare in the past have also begun to appear in various shops.
Half a day later, Han Li took off into the air, turning into a green rainbow and flying into the distance.
A moment later, he landed in the square in front of the Island King's Mansion.
At a glance, there are not many changes here from before, but the island king's mansion is shrouded in layers of prohibitions, all kinds of lights are flashing, and there are some monks patrolling nearby, which is much more martial law than before.
Han Li didn't stay where he was any longer, and walked into the Fu Xin Hall next to him, which was undertaking the task.
There are many monks gathered in the hall, much more than before, and the stone wall of the mission still stands here, densely filled with various tasks, and there are more than before.
Compared with the past, the content of the mission has also changed a lot, including a lot of enemies, and the missions stationed there are all to fight against Qingyu Island.
There is even a task that is directly a bounty, hunting the monks of Qingyu Island, and each hunt has a corresponding reward.
Han Li quickly scanned the stone wall and quickly read through all the tasks on it.
There was no information about him on the stone wall, and there was not even the slightest mention of the matter of the Candle Dragon Dao.
Seeing this, Han Li still couldn't be completely relieved in his heart.
He walked around the main hall twice, found a few monks who were watching the task, and asked around, and confirmed that there was indeed no sign of Asgard chasing him recently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before leaving, in order not to attract attention, he still took on a random task to collect materials on the body of some kind of demon beast.
After walking out of the Fu Xin Palace, Han Li glanced back in the direction of the Island Palace, and then turned into a blue light and flew towards the city gate.
As a result, he had just flown halfway to the halfway point, and a sudden change occurred!
A dull roar suddenly came from all sides of the island, mixed with a loud bang.
Han Li's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped his retreat and looked around.
I saw pillars of blue light emerge around Black Wind City, rising into the sky, enveloping the entire Black Wind City like a fence.
Powerful power fluctuations emanated from the pillar of light, and the void trembled.
Circles of bloom light emanated from the blue pillars of light, and these originally straight pillars of light quickly bent and converged towards the middle, and soon merged together, and the pillars of light were connected to each other.
In a moment, a thick blue curtain of light emerged, enveloping the entire city.
Countless water waves-like light flowed above the light curtain, layered on top of each other, and at a glance it was an extremely exquisite magic circle.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and after a slight groan, he continued to fly forward, and soon arrived at the city gate.
There are a lot of people gathered here, and various sounds are intertwined, and the noise is unusual.
Han Li quietly landed at the edge of the crowd and merged into the crowd.
At this moment, several monks at the front of the crowd were facing the guards in black robes and said:
"What's going on, why did you suddenly open the Protectorate?"
"We have something important to wait to get out of the city, can a few Taoist friends make it convenient. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lord of the Land Island ordered the opening of the Great Protective Array because he received news that the people of Qingyu Island intended to sneak attack my Black Wind City. Just in case, the big array was activated. Just eliminate the enemy, and the big array will be canceled immediately. The leader of the guard shouted at the crowd.
Han Li stood aside, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart.
Although he had learned that the conflict between Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island was becoming increasingly fierce, he did not expect that it had reached the point where he wanted to open the Great Protective Array.
And looking at the reactions of the people around them, it seems that they are not too surprised by the explanation of the leader of the guards.
"This fellow Daoist, isn't the Great Array of City Protectors here often opened?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked a red-robed old man beside him.
When the red-robed old man heard this, he glanced at Han Li in some surprise and said, "Your Excellency, isn't it a Black Wind City monk?"
"I just came to Black Wind Island in the teleportation array, and I am not familiar with many situations here, so I would like to ask your Excellency for advice. Han Li chuckled lightly and said very politely.
"Oh, that's no wonder. The battle between Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island has become more and more fierce over the years, although Black Wind City is the base camp of the Black Wind Island side, it is not how safe it is, and the city protection array has indeed been opened many times over the years. The red-robed old man nodded first, and then said.
"Oh, then I don't know how the battle is going on on both sides, which side has the upper hand?" Han Li paused for a moment and continued to ask.
"The overall strength of Black Wind Island was originally stronger than that of Blue Feather Island, but Green Feather Island has attracted many peripheral islands over the years, and its strength has increased greatly, and it has been able to compete with Black Wind Island. Alas, I don't know when this battle will end. The red-robed old man said with a sigh.
Han Li nodded slowly, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
While everyone was buzzing and discussing, a black-faced middle-aged man who had reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation stepped out of the crowd and asked loudly, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, when will the Great Array be revoked? ”
"It turned out to be the Tai patriarch. I don't know the specific situation very well, maybe two or three days...... It may take ten and a half days. If there are special circumstances that require you to leave Black Wind City urgently, you can go to the Island King's Mansion to ask for a meeting with the Lord of the Island, and we will not stop you from leaving the city order granted by him. The leader of the guard gave him a second look and said.
The black-faced middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything after all.
Although everyone was still a little reluctant, they obviously didn't dare to offend the people of the Island King's Mansion, and as for going to the Island King's Mansion to apply for an exit order, naturally no one was really in a hurry to do so.
After some more discussion, the monks gathered at the gate of the city soon dispersed.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart.
It seems that he is not very lucky, if he had set off at half a o'clock earlier, he might have left the city smoothly at this moment.
He glanced at the blue light curtain in mid-air, said goodbye to the red-robed old man beside him, and then turned around and turned back towards the way he came.
Although the opening of the city protection array caused a commotion in the city, it quickly subsided, after all, this situation had happened many times, and although everyone was a little slanderous, after complaining a few words, they continued to go their own way.
After a short time, Han Li found an inn in the remote area of Black Wind City and stayed there, closing his door.
Time passed little by little, and night soon fell.
In the secret room, Han Li, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and with a wave of one hand, more than a dozen blue rays of light flew out and landed all over the room, opening a prohibition.
Immediately, he pinched the trick in his hand, and golden thunder and lightning appeared around his body, spreading towards the surroundings, and soon condensed into a golden thunder array.
"Teleport!"
He pinched the trick and waved, and suddenly the thunder and lightning circle lit up, and his figure disappeared from the circle immediately under a blur.
A few remnants of golden lightning light fluctuated in the room a few times, and soon disappeared completely.
At the same time, deep underground in the Island King's Mansion, inside a secret room.
The light here was dim, and the black light around it surged up and down like waves.
In the center of the secret room is a huge blue jade platform, on which are suspended a pole of blue array flags, densely packed, at least tens of thousands.
Dazzling blue light emanated from these array flags, condensing into a hemispherical blue light curtain, enveloping the blue jade platform below.
On the blue jade platform is a relief of a city, and it is not difficult to find that it is the Black Wind City.
