......

"Suddenly"

There was no earth-shattering roar, as if the aura of heaven and earth was gathered, and the crystals on the stone tablet only flashed violently for a moment, and then stopped the flashing of brilliance. At this time, the hum also disappeared one after another.

"Whew~" took a long breath, Ou Chuyang realized that his whole body had been soaked with sweat, it seemed ordinary just now, but in fact, he used the former's origin purple qi to forcibly control the internal qi energy contained in the crystal nucleus.

After doing all this, Ou Chuyang's face was full of smiles, he looked at Qin Yu, and gave a deep salute with a respectful face: "Hard work senior." ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu stroked his beard and chuckled, nodded indifferently and said, "The lord of Ou City is polite, in fact, it should be the old man who should be thanked." ”

Ou Chuyang could understand what Qin Yu meant, after all, this dark city was founded by Qin Yu, in order to prevent mutations in advance, in case the dark city was occupied by small people, Ou Chuyang did everything more than the latter. And at this moment, Qin Yu's eyes when he looked at Ou Chuyang no longer regarded himself as an elder, and a sentence about Ou City Lord was enough to show Qin Yu's admiration for Ou Chuyang.

In his early twenties, he studied the method of the formation boundary to such an extent, which was enough to impress Qin Yu.

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. And such a move once again made His Highness's powerhouses slightly surprised.

After the laughter, Ou Chuyang said loudly: "Senior, why don't you go out with me to see the scene outside." ”

"I can't ask for it, haha. ”

Immediately, the two walked slowly off the platform, and under the embrace of the strong people, everyone came out and walked out of the hall.

"Please" out of the hall, Ou Chuyang made a gesture of please, and then took the lead in flying into the air of the Dark City.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, and when they stopped in mid-air and looked down, they were deeply shocked by the changes in the dark city.

The magnificent city of darkness was now completely enveloped in a faint golden light, and the neatly laid out group of houses was divided into nine parts, standing in circles, firmly enclosing the central hall in it. Around the Dark City, the nine bronze pillars were full of brilliance, as if they were filled with powerful energy, constantly bursting with dazzling essence.

In the dark city, the streets paved with blue bricks, there are faint purple lights between the gaps, and the ground of the entire dark city is like a huge net of light laid by someone, presenting the veins in front of the eyes of the powerhouses.

Stunned, Ou Chuyang finally spoke: "Everyone, this is the Nine Turns Heavenly Machine Great Array. ”

"This, so abundant heaven and earth aura. The exclamations came out one after another, which fully explained the shock in the hearts of the people.

Ou Chuyang smiled slightly, and then introduced: "Nine Heavenly Machines, implying the truth of heaven and earth, can lead to the aura of heaven and earth for my use, this array area involves the psychedelic forest ten miles outside the city, from the outside to the inside, implying the five major formations of illusion, royalty, breaking, killing, and solidifying." The five recipes are born together, and the cycle is endless. It can effectively prevent the enemy from coming to the fan. It's not me Ou Chuyang, as long as the enemy is not a martial god-level powerhouse, don't think about going deep into the inside of the big array. Even if a Martial God-level powerhouse wants to enter this formation, he can't be unscathed. ”

"So strong?" Hearing Ou Chuyang's statement, everyone said in unison in disbelief. If what Ou Chuyang said is true, then the current Dark City can be described in four words. Just imagine, how can a formation that even the Martial God powerhouse can be harmed by the simple word "powerful"?

Ou Chuyang nodded, then turned his gaze to Qin Yu and said, "Senior, can you rest assured now?"

The Qingchuan River, a winding 800-mile river, connects the two empires of Xuan'an and Feiyun. As one of the countless rivers on the mainland, the Qingchuan River is a famous scenic spot.

In the middle of summer, the weather should be hot and dry, but on this 800-mile river, it is extremely cool. The breeze blows the calm Qingchuan River, causing layers of ripples, and under the blue waves, a big boat sails down the stream, from the south to the north.

There was a faint overlapping murmur between the two towering hills of the river, and it was the daughter of the old man at the helm of the ship, singing a country song to the guests on board. The clear voice of the song like heaven not only caused the birds to sing in the mountains and forests, but also made the men and women on the deck feel extremely quiet and comfortable.

At the end of the song, the girl saluted a man and a woman on the deck with a faint smile on her face.

At this time, the woman happily clapped her little hands, stood up happily, and said to the man beside her: "Listen well, Brother Ran, it's a pity that Wanqing doesn't have a piano in her hand, otherwise she must play a song with this girl and give it to Brother Ran." ”

When the man heard this, he shook his head and smiled, then walked up to the singing girl, took out a bag of gold coins, and handed it to the girl.

Slightly surprised, the girl looked up at the man in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Sir, this~"

"Take it. With an approachable smile on the man's face, the girl swallowed back the words she was about to spit out. After another salute, the girl returned to the old man at the helm with a look of joy on her face that could not be concealed.

At this time, the woman walked over, poked her little head out from behind the man, and her eyes circled between the man and the girl who was singing, and teased: "Brother Ran, you are very generous." ”

"Ghost Spirit Spirit~" The man scolded with a smile, and then looked at the father and daughter who were very happy to be in charge of the boat, and sighed: "Alas~, now Xuan'an and Feiyun are in a national war, and the war is raging, and it is these civilians who suffer." ”

Hearing the amazement in the man's words, the woman's original intention of waiting to see the former's embarrassment suddenly disappeared, and she said with a slight sadness: "Brother Ran, are you worried about something?"

Hearing this, the man nodded, and said without concealing it at all: "The Ou family doesn't know what happened now?" After so many years, the eight major families have been looking for the secret of the eight battle techniques, and now that the Lichou sword technique has appeared, maybe the battle tips of the other parts have also appeared, in this way, the agreement of the eight clans will definitely be fulfilled in the near future, am I coming back a little late." ”

The woman listened quietly, as if she was infected by the man's emotions, and she was melancholy, her curved willow eyebrows tightened slightly, and the former said: "Brother Ran, otherwise, let's set off now, go back quickly, and make preparations in advance." ”

The man smiled when he heard this, put away his worries for the time being, looked back at the woman, and said with a smile: "Then how can you do it?" Wanqing rarely has this kind of interest, how can I disappoint you." Don't worry, Owen has already sent news that the Ou family is still in the imperial capital, and nothing should happen. Even if the eight major families want to form an alliance, they can't get together in the past few days. We'll talk about that then. ”

"Really not worried?" the woman looked up at the man, a little incredulous.

"What's there to worry about?" the man silently turned back to his original position, picked up the wine glass on the table on the deck, and drank it alone.

"Liar. The woman muttered, then sighed, returned to the man's side, and poured him a drink. And when he faced the man, he changed into a sweet smile.

Everyone guessed correctly, the man came out of the Dark City and planned to return to Ou Chuyang in the Feiyun Empire, as for the woman beside him, of course, it was Mu Wanqing. As for why the two of them are on the Qingchuan River, they have to explain.

It turned out that after Ou Chuyang finished arranging the Nine Turns Heavenly Machine Great Array, he handed over all the affairs of the Dark City to Tong Liang and Zijing to take care of. He has always been concerned about the safety of the Ou family, and after hearing about the war between Xuan'an and Feiyun, he was even more anxious. Putting down the trivialities, he left the Dark City.

Ou Chuyang wanted to leave, but Mu Wanqing didn't want to stay, so the two of them galloped all the way to the Feiyun Empire. And Ou Chuyang, who was going to return to the Feiyun Imperial Capital quickly, happened to pass by the Qingchuan River on the way to the southwest. Mu Wanqing, who had not seen this mountain or river, was suddenly interested and wanted to cross the river by boat.

In desperation, Ou Chuyang didn't want to sweep Mu Wanqing's Yaxing, so he hired a big boat in the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River, carried the two of them down the river, and traveled by water towards the Feiyun Emperor Capital. And this journey is just to accompany Mu Wanqing to play.

Ou Chuyang, who had always been intoxicated with cultivation, rarely had this kind of opportunity, and felt that Mu Wanqing was in high spirits, so he did not veto. Along the way, Ou Chuyang was also deeply attracted by the tranquility between the green mountains and green waters, and was not in a hurry to return to the Feiyun Imperial Capital.

Ou Chuyang didn't bring any entourage with him this time, and the only one who followed was the evil ghost of the dark hall. I don't know if this evil ghost doesn't want to disturb the two-person world of the two, or if he doesn't like to rush in this way, he left Ou Chuyang first on the way, and the person who has been in charge of contacting Owen wanted to return to the Feiyun Empire early. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ou Chuyang to receive a message on the ship two days ago.

"When is the day of return? ”

This is the news from Ou Haopeng asking Owen to find the evil ghost, Ou Chuyang was slightly moved after reading it, although he was anxious, but from this few words, he could see that the Ou family was still very safe. So he wasn't in too much of a hurry, he only sent a message: "Four days later, resist the imperial capital." ”

Ou Chuyang counted the time, he and Mu Wanqing had been on the river for seven days, and according to the old man at the helm, there were still three days before they could reach Feiyun's territory. At that time, he only needs to walk southwest with Mu Wanqing for another day to reach the imperial capital.

The old man carries passengers on the river all the year round, and most of the people who come and go from the south to the north are some businessmen, and they can also know the knowledge of geography by hearsay, for this, Ou Chuyang does not doubt it, so there is this news.

Today is the third day, and if you expect it to be good, it won't be long before the ship arrives at its destination. And he and Mu Wanqing will end this quiet journey, once again embark on the ascetic journey of war and fire, and welcome the upcoming adventure.

Confused, Ou Chuyang drank a little more wine, and at this moment, the riverbank faintly appeared in front of the two of them. At this time, the old man in charge of the boat also walked slowly and said respectfully: "Sir, the ship is about to dock." ”

Nodding slightly, Ou Chuyang smiled: "Old man, it's hard work on the road." ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Alas~, for the sake of life, I am used to it, it is okay, but sir, drinking too much alcohol is harmful to the body, please cherish it." ”

"Thank you, old man, it's okay. ”

As she spoke, the boat slowly approached the shore under the girl's takeover. The two said goodbye to the father and daughter and walked into the borders of the Feiyun Empire.

This is a marginal town of the Feiyun Empire, not very far from the imperial capital, and there should not be an army. Probably due to the frequent wars in recent years, a large number of troops have appeared on the edge of the riverbank. The boatman like the old man, although not strictly forbidden to enter, was still interrogated at the ferry before he was allowed to leave.

The town has a heavy army, which will undoubtedly bring panic to the poor people, and the years of great war have filled the eyes of passers-by with hostility towards outsiders. So much so that as soon as Ou Chuyang and the two went ashore, they caused trouble.

"Stop~" a loud shout came from the army that lined up to check.

As soon as he turned around, Ou Chuyang saw a burly middle-aged general walking over on horseback.

This person was dressed in silver armor, with a seven-foot Qingfeng hanging obliquely on his waist, majestic, and looked at Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing condescendingly, and asked with angry eyebrows: "Where did you come from?"

There are many people who bully people like this, Ou Chuyang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, ignored them, and walked forward directly with Mu Wanqing.

This person is obviously a leader in the army, how can he have received such treatment, in anger, the former pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "Come on, take down these two people Xuan'anguo's spies for me." ”

"Choking~"

The sound of several sharp blades being drawn out of the sheath came, and a group of soldiers immediately surrounded Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing, and the originally calm atmosphere immediately became tense.

Seeing that a big battle was inevitable, at this time, another clear cheer came from the rear of the army, preventing the big battle.

Following the direction from which the voice came, Ou Chuyang saw a handsome young man in gold armor riding a black horse walking in front of the two, turning over and dismounting, pulling away the crowd, and the young man walked in domineeringly. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What's going on?"

As soon as the middle-aged man saw the young man appear, he immediately showed a flattering expression and said with a smile: "Major General Hui, these are two more spies of Xuan'an State." ”

The middle-aged man pointed at Ou Chuyang, but the young man just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, and when he saw Mu Wanqing, he was immediately shocked by his peerless appearance.

Looking at Mu Wanqing's delicate face in a daze, the young man's heart was shocked and he almost lost his temper. However, it seemed that after the experience of blood and fire, the young man immediately eased up, hugged his fists and said to Mu Wanqing: "In Xia Lianzhou, I don't know the girl's surname. ”

As soon as they met, they asked for the name of the woman, and they didn't have to think about it to know that it was not a good thing, although the young man was polite on the surface, but the heavy excitement in his eyes betrayed his appearance.

Mu Wanqing only smiled at Ou Chuyang, this is a well-known thing in the Zixiao Gate of the Dark City, so for this young man who accosted him for no reason, the former didn't give a good face at all. Ignoring it, he grabbed Ou Chuyang's arm and said, "Brother Ran, let's go." ”

Nodding slightly, Ou Chuyang didn't bother to say anything to this kind of person, even if he could see that the other party might have the strength of a martial artist, but this little bit of Taoism was disdainful in Ou Chuyang's eyes now.

The previous middle-aged people could see at a glance that Lianzhou had a good impression of this woman, and such an opportunity to pat on the back was simply falling from the sky, and he was too sorry for himself if he didn't pick it up.

So, the middle-aged man didn't think about it, and shouted: "Bold, rude to the young general, come on~"

Before the middle-aged man could wait for the order to go down, he saw Lian Zhou wave his hand and stop: "No need." ”

"Major General~"

"Let them go. Lian Zhou said lightly, but his eyes never left Mu Wanqing's back, staring for a moment, a smile of appreciation suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said to himself: "What a woman with character." ”

Hearing Lianzhou's whisper, the middle-aged man patted his ass and said, "Young General, why don't I help you catch him, and then~, hehe." ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lian Zhou did not reprimand, but said indifferently: "No, just do your own thing, I am going back to the imperial capital now, you give me a good guard here, don't have any more accidents, behave well, I will give you a few good words from my father." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly thanked him with a smile. But Lianzhou turned a deaf ear, turned his gaze back to the direction where Ou Chuyang and the two left, and said secretly: "There, it's the direction to the imperial capital." ”
