220 Blue Banner Banner, Ancient Forbidden Array
The Northern Gang and the Liao Wangfu officially agreed on the time limit for the decisive battle of the six days, and attacked each other's strongholds set up by both sides in Qingzhou City. In the first three days, it was attacked by Liao Wangfu, and for a time Qinghong Inn became the target of the local gangs in Qingzhou City. The masters of the major gangs in Qingzhou City almost all gathered around the Qinghong Inn, launching wave after wave of attacks.
And the gang of the North Gang waited for the rest of the day, guarding the Qinghong Inn, and was not nervous.
Ye Qin has been staying in the small courtyard of the inn for the past three days, paying attention to the condensation of the earth fire. Except for occasionally releasing his divine consciousness and checking to see if there are immortal cultivators around him, he is indifferent to the disturbance of ordinary martial artists.
This time, under the action of the unquenchable fire, more than ten wisps of green flame earth fire in the fire mansion were constantly condensing, getting hotter and hotter, and a faint blue flame had already appeared on the tip of the flame, which surprised Ye Qin.
As long as it passes again, a wisp of extremely high temperature blue flame earth fire will be born.
However, what was annoying was that the Fire Spirit Stone and Wood Spirit Stone in his hand were consumed too quickly, at least four or five pieces per day, and some were not enough. Even with the treasure gourd in hand, it is difficult to maintain.
Ye Qin thought about it, took out all the low-level golden spirit swords and fire spirit swords that he didn't need in his storage bag, handed them to Zhang Qiao, and asked her to go to Xianyuan City to help him sell these few pieces and exchange them for some low-grade spirit stones.
The magic weapons he is using now, these low-level spiritual weapons are all obtained from the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon and the Wankuling Cave, and they are no longer of much use to him, so he sold them in exchange for hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, and the effect is even greater.
In that place in Xianyuan City, he didn't dare to go back now, so he had to let Zhang Qiao go for a trip
The three-day deadline agreed by the Northern Gang and Liao Wangfu passed in a flash. Although Qinghong Inn was attacked by several waves, it was still as stable as a rock, and there was no sign of being taken down.
Old Prince Liao even personally came to the Qinghong Inn to check the situation and supervise the battle. The thin wall of light outside the Qinghong Inn is invisible to mortals. He is a person who cultivates immortals, so he can see it clearly.
But after seeing it clearly, his face became more and more gloomy.
His cultivation was too weak to find out who was casting spells at the Qinghong Inn. The large wall of light that enveloped the entire inn only made him feel a trace of fear. I'm afraid that this kind of method is not something that ordinary Qi cultivation period cultivators can do.
Several gang leaders of Qingzhou City, Shen Li and others, complained to Old Prince Liao one after another: "Old Prince, Qinghong Inn is too difficult to attack. The local gang in Qingzhou City dispatched several waves of masters to test the inn in one go, but let alone attacking the Qinghong Inn, they couldn't even touch the edge of the inn, so they were beaten back. We don't know how strong the Northern Gang is. ”
"We still don't know how many men and horses came from the Northern Gang, and we don't know how they are, so we don't dare to launch a general attack easily. Once the general offensive fails, the situation is very passive......"
Old Prince Liao didn't care about this, and said angrily: "Today is the deadline, if you can't attack it, the south of the city will be ceded to the North Gang." The Iron Palm Gang, the Red Blood Hall, the helm of your gangs is in the south of the city, you can do it yourself. ”
Li Zhong, the chief steward of the palace, interjected: "Old prince, do you think you should let the state government send some officials into the inn to check and find out their details? ”
Old Prince Liao groaned and said: "The officials in Qingzhou are all soft bones, but I am afraid that I dare not provoke these northern gangs." Go to the guard station, find a general with troops, go into the inn to search, and feel the details of the North Gang. ”
"Yes, the little one sent someone to the guardhouse!"
Li Zhong nodded hurriedly.
Half an hour later, five or six hundred soldiers in full armor and halberds surrounded the entire Qinghong Inn. These soldiers did not say a word, and quickly formed a small military formation full of murderous aura outside the inn, with swords and shields in the front row, halberds in the middle row, and crossbow archers in the back row, with sharp hands and feet, obviously well-trained elite soldiers. Although such elite soldiers are not proficient in martial arts, once they form a formation, they are by no means able to resist ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
A middle-aged general wearing a military uniform, riding a high-headed horse, came to the outside of the inn with his head up, and shouted loudly, suspecting that there were rogues harboring in the Qinghong Inn, and wanted to enter the Qinghong Inn for interrogation.
"If you can't beat us, you actually brought in the officers and soldiers, and used such a bad method. ”
The masters of the Northern Twentieth Gang were a little dumbfounded and slandered. They did not dare to compete with these officers and soldiers. Let's not talk about whether you can win the fight, even if you win, you don't dare to do it. Those were the officers and soldiers stationed in Qingzhou, and the 50,000 heavily armored elite soldiers in the military barracks and guards outside the city were not a joke. No matter how hard the fists of the Jianghu gang are, they don't dare to compete with these officers and soldiers, otherwise there will be no discussion about encircling and suppressing you.
Seeing this, Zhang Rong, the leader of the North 20th Gang, hurriedly asked his subordinates to let the general go without stopping him.
The middle-aged general dismounted with satisfaction and entered the inn with a small team of guards.
Zhang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "This general, below is Zhang Rong, the leader of the North Twenty Gang. ”
The middle-aged general interrupted Zhang Rong's words with a wave of his hand, and sneered proudly: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what you are from the Northern Gang or the Southern Gang, call all your people out for routine inspection." Someone reported that there were rogues here, and Lao Tzu wanted to see if there were any rogues. "In fact, this kind of pursuit of rogues is done by officials and officials, and there is no need to dispatch officers and soldiers at all. It's just that he took the money from the people of Liao Wangfu, and he needs to eliminate disasters for others. Liao Wangfu spent a box of gold and silver and invited him to come to this Qinghong Inn to investigate the situation inside. This kind of white and cheap thing, he naturally will not refuse.
Zhang Rong hesitated. It's nothing for the ordinary gang, but it's too much to let the chief scoop come out. However, he still called all the Northern Gang members out and was inspected by officers and soldiers.
Seeing Zhang Rong so happy, the middle-aged general became suspicious, "Is there a harbor in this inn?"
Zhang Rong smiled bitterly, the Qinghong Inn is full of people from the Northern Gang, that is, there is a mysterious courtyard, and the chief scoop can go in. But the problem is that he can't even get in, and he doesn't know what's going on inside, let alone anyone else.
"General, if you don't believe it, go check it yourself. ”
The middle-aged general didn't talk much nonsense, and led a large group of officers and soldiers to search the Qinghong Inn. When he came to the small courtyard, he unexpectedly touched the "wall" and was bounced away by a soft force.
The middle-aged general was in a daze.
"Immortal ~ Immortal?!"
He is a member of the Lu family of the Southern Liang Kingdom, so he can be a junior general in the garrison of Qingzhou City. Although he was not a core member of the Lu family, he had also seen the immortal cultivators of the Lu family, so he naturally knew some things about immortals. This kind of wall that bounces people away, the Lu family's important place also has it, this is a defensive formation.
Zhang Rong has been accompanying the middle-aged general, and when he saw this general in front of the small courtyard, he smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "This general, this small courtyard is the temporary residence of the chief scoop of our North Gang, do you really want to go in?"
The middle-aged general was stunned, "The chief scoop of your Northern Gang, is he an immortal?"
Zhang Rong smiled lightly, noncommittal.
The middle-aged general was taken aback. As a secular clansman of the Lu family, he naturally understood that the battle between immortals was not something that mortals could interfere with without permission, otherwise if something would happen, the family would not offend other immortals in order to save an unimportant secular clansman like him.
"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Collect the troops!" The middle-aged general broke out in a cold sweat and yelled at his subordinates anxiously. The soldiers who were searching the inn were puzzled and hurriedly gathered their team.
Zhang Rong saw that this general finally opened his mind. Reaching into his sleeves with both hands, he took out a heavy bag, stuffed it into Vice General Lu's hands, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a misunderstanding, where are there any rogues here." It is not easy to take a hard trip on a cold day, and with this little money, the officials buy some wine to warm up. ”
General Lu didn't know where to go down the steps, smiled and collected the money bag, and hurriedly evacuated the Qinghong Inn with the officers and soldiers of the brigade and returned to the barracks outside the city.
"Lord Lu, what's the situation in the inn?"
A servant of King Liao's Mansion hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.
General Lu was annoyed in his heart, slapped him, staggered the servant, and scolded: "Damn, I almost killed your family Lu Ye." Your Liao Wangfu has caused a lot of trouble, and you actually dragged your Lu Ye to pad his back, get out!"
The servant hugged his cheeks that were reddened, his face full of astonishment. Didn't this Lu Ye accept the silver from Liao Wangfu, how can he say that he will turn his face? Could it be that he doesn't think the money is enough? The servant was full of stomach scratches, and hurriedly went back to report to Manager Li
The mobilized officers and soldiers could not find out the situation of the Qinghong Inn, and in the evening of the last day of the third day, the local gangs in Qingzhou City could only attack with all their might. In the middle of the night, only a few inconsequential courtyards were captured, and most of them were not taken. Especially one of the small courtyards, it is impossible to get close to it, let alone take it.
According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, this attack on the stronghold, Liao Wangfu's mansion is tantamount to failure.
The gangs of the various gangs under Liao Wangfu retreated gloomily, and they couldn't retreat if they wanted to.
After late at night, the chief scoop of the Northern Gang had already left the Qinghong Inn with a large group of men and horses to attack the Liao Wangfu. They must return to the Liao Wangfu to prevent the Liao Wangfu from being taken by the Northern Gang. If Liao Wang's Mansion is taken, the gangs in Qingzhou City will have no face to mess around, and they can only surrender.
But the Northern Gang's attempt to storm Liao Wang's Mansion did not go well.
In the mansion of King Liao's Mansion, there was already a small forbidden formation at this time.
This forbidden formation formation was a bit strange, and after it was opened, a layer of blue light and mist shrouded the entire Liao Wangfu. As soon as one enters, one loses his way, as if he had entered a desert sea. Only those with great perseverance can pass through the desert and the sea and walk out of the formation alive. Those who are a little less determined can only be trapped in the formation under the despair of not being able to get out of the desert.
More than a dozen first-class masters of the North Gang rushed in, and only three or five people came out.
With such a strange formation, secular warriors can't attack it.
Zhang Zhe personally attacked, impacted once, and almost fell into the formation, and he couldn't even rush into Liao Wang's mansion. Zhang Zhe had no choice but to ask Ye Qin to come to help and see if he could break the forbidden formation of Liao Wangfu.
Ye Qin came to the outside of King Liao's mansion and checked the green formation. He was a monk in the foundation building period, and he used the spiritual eye technique to investigate, and he had penetrated the blue light and mist, and he could only vaguely see a cyan banner magic weapon in the Liao Wangfu, emitting a cyan dazzling light.
Ye Qin's heart moved.
Using the magic weapon as the array flag, the power is extraordinary. This array of flags is much better than the spirit weapon array in his hand.
It's just that this magic weapon must be a foundation building monk in order to exert enough power, and there is definitely no foundation building monk in the Liao family now. They could only use spirit stones to activate the formation, and the power exerted in this way was extremely weak, and they were afraid that it would be less than one-tenth of the original.
Just this tenth is enough to keep him out of the formation.
Over the years, Ye Qin has also seen a lot of defensive formations and phantom formations, but he has never seen such a formation with a blue light and mist. With this kind of formation of unknown power, he would not take the risk of trying it easily, and it was not worth it to take his own life for this.
Ye Qin pondered for a moment, and turned back to Zhang Zhe and the others: "The Liao family in Qingzhou City has been inherited for at least thousands of years, and it is not uncommon to have such a strange formation. Otherwise, the Liao family would have been served long ago. ”
Zhang Zhe nodded, "Okay, the Liao family's immortal cultivators are cowering in the palace and don't dare to come out, so don't care about them for now." Even if we can't take this Liao Wangfu, in this battle for strongholds, our Northern Gang will win at least half of the city. Now I'm going to take people directly to subdue the major gangs in the southern urban area of Qingzhou. ”
The Northern Gang went on the offensive in a big way. In just three days, the helmsman of the large and small gangs in the south of Qingzhou City could not withstand the pressure from the northern gang and surrendered one after another. The situation is stronger than people, the strong on the rivers and lakes are respected, Liao Wangfu is stuck in the mansion, they can't keep them, they can only turn their heads and join the Northern Gang.
"The Iron Palm Gang, the leader of the gang, Shen Li, led the crowd to Shunbei Gang Chief Scoop. "The Red Blood Alliance, the leader of the alliance, Sun You, led the people to return to the head of the Northern Gang. "Gale Society, the leader of the meeting, Zhu Changtian, led the crowd to return to the general scoop of the North Gang. ”
Most of the local gangs in Qingzhou controlled by Liao Wangfu's subordinates surrendered in just a few days, and the situation in Qingzhou City changed greatly. Almost all the gangs, large and small, shook north. Even the small merchants and hawkers on the streets, hooligans and scoundrels, know that Qingzhou City has changed. Liao Wangfu is no longer the only person who can take charge of things, and the Northern Gang has risen strongly in Qingzhou City. The power of Liao Wangfu was almost cut by half. If the time comes, the Northern Gang will take the entire Qingzhou City, and I am afraid that it will not be a problem.
This Qingzhou gang changed color, and it was only limited to the Jianghu gang in Qingzhou, and it had little impact on the ordinary people in Qingzhou City. The rise and fall of the gang forces was only limited to the two strongholds of Qinghong Inn and Liao Wangfu, and it did not spread on a large scale, and there were surprisingly few casualties between the gangs, let alone innocent people. Even the state capital of Qingzhou City did not come forward to ask.
The New Year is approaching, and the city of Qingzhou is becoming more and more lively. And by Qingyun Temple, Shuanglong Temple, Qingwan Temple, Dalong Temple, and more than ten Taoist temples in Qingzhou City, the Immortal Dao Fighting Law Conference was also held as scheduled, attracting as many as hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city to watch. Under this grand event, the competition between the Northern Gang and Liao Wangfu for territory did not attract attention.
