Chapter 19 - The Only Way to Survive
First update!
Black Abyss City.
On top of the forty-meter-high city wall, a blue-haired man wearing black hideous beast armor looked calmly at the almost endless sea of green mist outside the city.
This person is the city lord of Black Abyss City--Xiao Bai!
The whirring sound of the wind suddenly sounded behind him.
Immediately, a pale gray cloud floated in from a distance, also suspended above the city wall.
The white light flashed, and the gray clouds dispersed, revealing an old man in a robe and an old man, who was none other than the old man of the 'Zhangqi' auction house.
"City Lord Xiao, how could the Green Shadow Clan suddenly rush out of the abyss this time?"
As soon as Yu Lao Fang showed his figure, he asked a little eagerly.
Xiao didn't know the reason, but according to the news conveyed above, the eight major races in the abyss seemed to have surged out overnight. ”
"Except for the Black Abyss City, a similar situation has also occurred in the other seven major cities guarding the Heavenly Abyss!" Xiao Bai's brows, as sharp as sharp arrows, furrowed slightly, wondering why these Heavenly Abyss Shadow Clans were just trapped here but didn't attack?
"Since this Heavenly Abyss Shadow Clan's behavior is abnormal this time, presumably the high-level officials of the empire will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. I believe it won't take long for it to come to light. All we need to do is sit in this city. ”
The dry palm stroked the long white beard half a foot long under his chin, and Yu Lao hesitated for a long time, and said: "City Lord Xiao, this time Yu came to you, in addition to the matter of this green shadow clan, there is one more matter!"
"Yu Daoyou, please speak. Xiao Bai bowed his head slightly and motioned for Yu Lao to continue.
"Since the Green Shadow Clan has only besieged Black Abyss City so far, it will definitely not be a large-scale siege for a while. In this case, Yu hoped that City Lord Xiao could remove the barrier in the east of Black Abyss City, so that my person in charge of Qi would go out to pick up someone. ”
Yu Lao hugged his fists, and a resolute expression appeared on his face, as a way to show his attitude towards this matter.
"No, the emperor has personally ordered that the cities of the Tianyuan Empire must not open the protective barrier when the Tianyuan clan attacks. Otherwise, the position of the city lord will be removed and severely punished, not to mention that the situation of the Green Shadow Clan is unknown at this time, in case the other party attacks when the barrier is opened, resulting in the loss of Black Abyss City, this kind of big crime is definitely not something you and I can afford!"
Xiao Bai snorted coldly, and with a wave of his rough right palm, his attitude was also very firm.
Xiao ...... City Lord!" Old Yu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth. The person the old man is going to pick up is actually the old man's granddaughter, the little young master of 'Zhangqi'!"
"Half a month ago, you Black Abyss City ordered a city protection base from 'Zhangqi', and I sent the news back to the headquarters at that time. ”
"As it happens, when my granddaughter heard this, she forced the escort to take her with her to the Black Abyss City, and based on their itinerary, they should have arrived near the Black Abyss City by yesterday evening. Now that the Green Shadow Clan has invaded the Giant Wood Forest, I'm afraid they're also trapped in the forest, and I have to go out and fetch her back personally!"
"What! That 'Burning Sun' Protective Array is on your granddaughter!" Xiao Bai's face finally flashed with surprise.
Immediately, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face showed hesitation.
As the lord of a city, I must not risk the lives of tens of millions of people in Heiyuan City. You don't have to worry, with that 'Burning Sun' Protective Array Base in hand, even if there is no Xuantian Realm powerhouse like you and me to urge, you will definitely be able to protect your granddaughter." Xiao Bai finally rejected Yu Lao's request.
As the lord of Black Abyss City, he has his share of responsibility, and unless there is an order from above, he will never dare to take risks indiscriminately.
"You...... Good!good!good!"
Yu Lao laughed angrily, his old face was full of coldness, and the coercion unique to the powerhouses of the Xuantian Realm centered on him, spreading frantically towards the surroundings, causing the surrounding airflow to condense slightly.
This coercion was far beyond the ordinary Xuantian Realm cultivator, and it made Xiao Bai's expression change slightly.
Huhu――――
The wind blew suddenly, and a gray-white cloud about ten meters wide appeared out of thin air.
As soon as this cloud appeared, he floated up with Yu Lao's body and slowly flew towards the city.
"City Lord Xiao! From now on, my 'Zhangqi' will never have any contact with your Heiyuan City! Your Heiyuan City will never think of buying a copper leaf from my 'Zhangqi' from now on!"
The gray white clouds flew extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were thousands of meters away, but the words left by Yu Lao were unusually clear in Xiao Bai's ears.
His eyes as deep as the stars looked at the direction where Yu Lao flew away for a while, and Xiao Bai's brows furrowed a little. Eventually, he sighed helplessly.
Turning around, his face calmly stared at the almost boundless sea of pale green fog outside the Black Abyss City, which had spread for hundreds of miles.
......
Inside the Wolf Valley.
Li Chen, who had fainted, had already woken up, and sat up cross-legged with his extremely aching body.
I don't know when my body has already been soaked with sweat, and the life and spiritual power in my body is about to be exhausted, and my mouth is dry, Li Chen knows that he can no longer run out of this underground cave.
Taking a deep breath of the hot air, Li Chen's palm flipped over, and a jade box appeared in his hand.
The jade box was opened, and a ball of things that looked like balls and not balls, like fire and not fire, was quietly placed in the box.
It's the Earth Rock Flame Spirit that was taken out of the river of magma!
Feeling the scorching aura emanating from the radiating essence of the rock flames in that place, Li Chen's mind was in a trance for a moment.
He's been away from his brother for almost a month.
Since he can remember, his brother has been guarding him every step of the way, and he never thought that one day he would never see the brother who always rejected people thousands of miles away and took care of him.
The older brother who valued his life more than his own.
The brother he couldn't even name.
The brother who only smiled at him.
......
After that, he will never be seen again.
It's all the fault of the men in black who hunted him down!
Yes, they did all this!
They deserve death!
So...... I must be stronger!
Strong enough to kill anyone who has hurt me!
Powerful enough to kill the men in black and the ultimate mastermind!
The 'man' who ruined his family!
He'll get it all back!
It's complete, and I want it back with interest!!
The fists were clenched, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other sounded softly, and a touch of anger flashed in Li Chen's deep eyes.
But the anger suddenly calmed down again.
Now he had lost the strength to get out of the place of right and wrong, and I was afraid that in another quarter of an hour, he would be roasted dry by the heat of this place because of the exhaustion of the power of his life spirit.
His eyes closed slightly, then opened them again, and there was a deep depth in them.
There is only one way to survive - refining this rock flame essence!
