Chapter 395: Empty Green Gorge
In the next few days, there was nothing wrong in the fairy city, but outside the city, there was frequent news that several families were wiped out overnight, almost one after another. [Ran^Text^Library] Anyone with a discerning eye can see the clues, because these families are all vassals of the Yu and Li families, and they have become the first victims of the vicious fight.
Li Changhuan's death made the Li family lose face, and the losses caused were not small, and more importantly, his status as a descendant of the Li family, this time it really hurt the Li family. But they couldn't come up with definite evidence, and if they couldn't find the real culprit, they could only use the Yu family's peripheral families to get angry and save a little face, and the Yu family was the master who was bullied, and immediately fought-for-tat.
However, these subsidiary families are not only a matter of face for the two families, but also an important source of wealth and material channels, and they are inextricably linked with their respective families. The two families almost unanimously thought that instead of sending people to protect those small families, it would be better to directly send additional personnel to kill the other party's disciples outside the city, so that they could no longer act calmly.
After that, the two sides turned around and stared at each other's team of monks leaving the city, and soon news came out of the city that the two disciples had killed a group of robbers outside the city, or where they had killed a group of gangsters on the road. In fact, you don't need to inquire to know that this is the monk who is clearing the other party's exit from the city.
The battle between the two families has always been like this, as soon as one side makes a move, the situation will quickly deteriorate, and then there will be a series of dazzling vicious battles, and they will not stop until neither side can afford it. However, it is impossible to know when and why the hatred between the Yu and Li families began, and the high-level officials of the two families are also secretive, and the monks in the city seem to have never broken off the news of the discord between the two families since they can remember, but it has gradually intensified in recent years.
A few days later, even the demon hunting teams under the names of the two families began to be attacked, which made the others unable to sit still any longer, and some of the leaders of the fairy city came forward to make peace. No matter who the monks in these demon hunting teams belong to, they are all members of the Immortal City Demon Slayer Army. If you continue to kill each other like this, the so-called Demon Slayer Army will become a joke.
What's more serious is that in this way, the external forces just extend their hands to the fairy city, and the other families will also suffer. In fact, both of these families knew that because their respective ancestors were also the deputy city lords of Xiancheng, they were clear about the consequences of this matter, but no one was willing to take the lead in stopping. Hundreds of millennia-old grudges, one battle is not enough.
At this time, there is no lack of various forces behind them, even within the two families. The voice of the war is still getting louder and louder, and I am afraid that in addition to the aggressiveness of the two families, there are some unclear reasons. And the figures of those foreign monks and disciples of the great sects of South Vietnam all appeared in this vicious battle openly or secretly this time, sparing no effort to add fuel to the fire.
The direct intervention of foreign forces immediately changed the situation of this battle, and other families in the city were soon involved, after all, these big foreign forces could not gain a foothold in Xiancheng with just one family. So. The situation in the city became more and more chaotic, and even the two outside forces directly exchanged hands, and after a battle, they turned from the dark to the light.
It is only now that everyone can clearly see the depth of the involvement of foreign forces, and thus see the intentions of these people. Overnight, a large number of foreign monks appeared out of nowhere in the fairy city, looking at the posture and preparing to use this fairy city as a battlefield, leading the families behind them to duel with each other, and directly determine the future ownership of the Poison King City.
Who knew that it was time for the saber to rattle. On the contrary, the local families have calmed down, the fairy city has been destroyed, these people can turn around and leave, and where can these native families go. Seeing that the big war was about to start, the families in the city suddenly died down, and even the Yu and Li families had a rare truce, ready to watch from the sidelines.
This scene suddenly caught the two foreign forces off guard. After that, no matter how they provoked it, these families would never participate, and when it came to the root of the family, some interests would pale in comparison. And without the participation of the family forces, the two parties would not dare to break out a big war, otherwise it would become a pure fighting spirit, and let the family of Xiancheng see a joke.
Just a moment before the outbreak of the Great War. The situation took a dramatic reversal, and the situation in the fairy city was eerily calm for a while. In just half a month, this melee that was first provoked by the Yu and Li families has inexplicably subsided, but everyone knows that this matter is far from really over, but it is just temporarily maintaining the balance of terror.
On the surface, Xiancheng regained its former calm, but the secret battle did not stop for a day, and it was at such an intricate time that Fang Yan and his party walked through the slightly deserted streets and left Xiancheng. Choosing to leave at this time was Yu Lian's idea, and at this moment, the eyes of the families in the city were staring at the outside forces, and the feud between them was temporarily put aside.
However, they didn't dare to leave the city in a big way, but divided into several groups, disguised as disciples of small families outside the city, and left the city in batches, and gathered in a place outside the city. Moreover, the speed of the group was very fast, and they drove away from their residences without warning, and even if someone was staring at their residence, it was probably too late to organize people to intercept them.
When everyone got together, Qingluan immediately took out the spirit weapon spaceship, and according to the route planned by Yu Lian for them, they galloped away all the way, leaving behind this undercurrent immortal city. The speed of the spaceship is extremely fast, and at dusk they come to a canyon full of bluestones, and they can reach the destination of their trip, the empty green gorge.
The place is easily recognizable in the limestone-strewn mountain of mantis, and the cyan rocks that can be found everywhere in the canyon are very different from the rest. Entering it, the canyon looks a little desolate on both sides, full of bluestone and gravel, and even vegetation is rarely seen.
Dialect They came here under the arrangement of the Yu family to take charge of a green graphite vein, which is a cyan low-level spiritual material, which is very widely distributed in the canyon, and what the dialect wants to go to the town guard is a large ore vein belonging to Xiancheng here. In fact, bluestone can be seen everywhere along the road, among which there may be a small amount of bluestone, but the quality is too low to have mining value, and Kongqingxia may also be named because of these bluestones.
Don't look at the green ink stone is just a low-level material, but the annual consumption of Xiancheng is very large, because this spirit material is hard, and it can be easily refined by spirit insects, making its outer armor harder, and its defense power is increased by more than several percent.
In this way, the Qingmo Stone, which can only be used to refine magic weapons in other places, has a completely different status in Poison King City, and is no longer dispensable, but an irreplaceable spiritual material. Because it not only has a very good effect on cultivating spirit insects, but also this kind of spiritual material is very rich in reserves in the immortal cultivation world, and the price is relatively low, which is very cost-effective for insect cultivation, so it has become indispensable in the immortal city.
Although the price of each piece of green graphite is not high, the annual consumption of Xiancheng is very amazing, and the value in it is very considerable, and no one can ignore it. Although this place is far away from Xiancheng, this vein has always been directly controlled by Xiancheng, and a large amount of green ink stone is continuously provided to Xiancheng every year, and then exchanged for a large amount of wealth, and over time it has become a major source of wealth for Xiancheng.
Originally, this kind of low-level ore vein did not need a foundation building period monk to come to the town, and the same type of ore vein immortal city only needed to send a qi refining monk to guard it. However, it is precisely because of the characteristics that Qingcai is easy to be refined by insects, there are often a large number of demon insects in these veins, and as the mining of Qingcai is getting deeper and deeper, some high-level demon insects appear from time to time, so Xiancheng has to send high-level monks to come.
Dialect: Their main task here is not to supervise the operation of the ore veins, the management of these low-level spiritual material veins is relatively simple, and there is already a set of mature practices to follow for thousands of years, so there is no need for dialects to bother too much. When they came here, they were actually sent to clear these high-level demon insects that appeared from time to time, and it is said that the previous one of the dialects was accidentally killed while hunting high-level demon insects, and it seems that this task is not easy.
But even though the danger is not small, but the treatment here is very good, and it is said that the other income is also very good, after the unfortunate death of that person, there are many people who want to get this position, and every year there are people who sharpen their heads and want to get into it, and seek a half-official position, all of which are interested in these benefits.
Thinking about it, the Yu family also spent a lot of thought in order to help him get this errand, and he was afraid that only these big families could compete for the position of director. However, Fang Yan didn't pay too much attention to these so-called oil and water, he valued that this place was located in the middle of nowhere, and he could avoid the boring battles in the fairy city.
The spaceship swept rapidly through the valley, and soon came to the depths of the valley, and in less than half an hour, several large mountains appeared abruptly in front of it. At the foot of one of the mountains, rows of buildings are clearly visible, and the periphery is covered with road prohibitions from time to time, and the camp under the protection of this formation will be the place where the dialect will settle in the future.
When Fang Yan and the others got down from the spaceship, several people immediately came out of the formation, the leader was dressed in a white robe, and several behind him were dressed as armor guards. The white-robed monk came to the front, and after saluting Fang Yan, he said: "The senior Fang has arrived in front, and the juniors and others have made a special trip here to greet them, and I ask the seniors to forgive me for any inconsiderateness." ”
"In the following words, these are all the stewards who have come here with you, and a few of you are waiting here, so let's go inside and speak. "It seems that before the dialect came to this, Yu Lian had already sent someone to report here. Fang Yan took out the task jade plate issued by Xiancheng according to the rules, handed it to them for inspection, and then beckoned everyone to enter the camp.
The white-robed monk was Yao Changlu, the steward of the Yu family who had been placed in the mine vein, and was responsible for the maintenance and security of the formation in the camp, as well as the daily life of the high-level people in the mining area. It seems trivial and insignificant, but in fact, the location is very critical, controlling the personnel of the entire mining area, and no disturbance can escape his eyes.
Thinking of such a character, he must be the most trusted person of the Yu family. And when he introduced this vein to the dialect along the way, it seemed that he had been here for many years, and he was an old man here. (To be continued.)
