Chapter Twenty-Eight: The City Lord
Eastern Star Continent, Cloud Dream City.
This is a city that has lasted for 10,000 years, and it is also a city that has been constantly war-torn for 10,000 years. Some people say that without the City Lord's Mansion, Yunmeng City would have long ceased to exist in the world, and some people say that if it weren't for the fact that Yunmeng City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the City Lord's Mansion would not have been able to be the master for so many years. In fact, the two sides complement each other, which is why Yunmeng City is now famous in the East Star Continent.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the middle of Yunmeng City, and the gate is usually closed, sometimes until late at night, but at this moment, the lights are bright, and the gate is open.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from a distance, and the four figures came to the gate after a while, it was Zhao Tian and the four people who were in front of the city gate.
"See the Third Prince, General Lan. The guards in front of the house saw the four people coming, and quickly knelt down.
Yun San waved his hand lightly and led the three of them into the mansion.
At this time, the house was very quiet, except for the guards who patrolled from time to time, there was hardly any movement. Zhao Tian followed Yun San as he walked in the mansion, carefully examining the environment in the mansion.
"The aura in the mansion is so abundant, this Cloud Dream City has no spiritual veins, and I don't know how the City Lord's Mansion did it. Zhao Tian probed with his spiritual sense, and found that the aura around him was rich and terrifying.
The four of them walked along the bluestone path towards the apse, and after a while, they came to a magnificent hall. Yun San and the others stopped, turned to look at the two Zhao Tian brothers.
"Brother Zhao, my father is in the main hall, you can just go in directly, but you just have to wronged Brother Xiaobai, because my father only summoned Brother Zhao this time, and even I am not allowed to enter. So I bothered Brother Xiaobai to go to the back garden with me to rest, and wait for Brother Zhao to see my father and come back to the back garden. Yun San said with a smile.
When Xiaobai heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak, but at this time, he was pulled by Zhao Tian.
"Xiaobai, you just go to the back garden with the third son, and I will go over after seeing the city lord, so there is no need to worry. Zhao Tian said.
Xiao Bai nodded, Yun San led Xiao Bai towards the back garden, Lan Gang looked at Zhao Tian with a strange expression, and when he heard Yun San calling, he immediately rushed towards the back garden.
At this moment, on the square of the main hall, only Zhao Tian stood alone.
Zhao Tian looked at the main hall, the momentum was magnificent, and it was by no means inferior to the three main halls in the Immortal Mansion. Zhao Tian released his spiritual sense, and he couldn't detect a single step in front of the main hall, so he immediately put away his spiritual sense, stepped on the stairs, and walked towards the main hall.
Coming to the front of the hall, there are vermilion pillars all around, and there is a plaque hanging above the hall, and the dragon and phoenix dance on the plaque are written with three words, Zhao Tian looked at these three words, and his expression changed greatly.
"Hongmeng Palace, this hall is actually the same name as the main hall in the Immortal Mansion. Hongmeng is the supreme of all things, and there are only a handful of places in the Dongxing Continent that dare to take Hongmeng as the name, but I didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion also has a Hongmeng Palace, I don't know if this palace has anything to do with the Hongmeng Hall in the Immortal Mansion. Zhao Tian thought to himself.
I didn't have time to think about it, Zhao Tian stepped into the hall, the hall was empty, only the Hongmeng offering was hung directly above, and below the offering was a row of stone chairs, and the material of the stone chairs was only an ordinary stone, and there was nothing precious.
The simplicity of the Hongmeng Palace in front of him shocked Zhao Tian, who originally thought that the Hongmeng Palace was at least splendid, but at this moment, the grass-like scene really made Zhao Tian impressed, and the awe of the city lord in his heart was a little more.
"Back to basics, the realm of the city lord's predecessors is so lofty. Zhao Tian sighed.
"Little doll, at such a young age, can have this feeling, it is really blue. A deep voice came from the depths of the hall.
Zhao Tian looked at it when he heard the sound, and saw a middle-aged monk in a brocade robe coming slowly.
Zhao Tian carefully looked at the middle-aged monk in front of him, this middle-aged monk was tall, his appearance was very great, and he had an elegant air between his gestures.
"My spiritual sense perceives that this middle-aged monk's cultivation is mediocre, even if he meets the master, he has never felt this way, and the cultivation of this city lord must be above the master. Zhao Tian was secretly surprised in his heart.
At this moment, the brocade-clothed monk had already come to Zhao Tian, looked Zhao Tian up and down, and nodded slightly.
"The junior Izumo Sect Zhao Tian, meet the city lord. Zhao Tian came back to his senses, looked at the brocade-clothed monk in front of him, and hurriedly said.
"The most powerful demon tide came back then, and I also joined forces with the Lingkong of this sect, and now more than a thousand years have passed, and I don't know if the Lingkong is good. The brocade monk said slowly.
"Elder Taishang is very good, but he has been in retreat for hundreds of years, and all the affairs of the sect are taken care of by the head of the sect. Zhao Tian replied.
"I haven't been out in all these years, so I don't know who the head of the Izumo Sect is now?" the middle-aged monk asked.
"The head of the master is named Ling Qingzi. ”
"It turned out to be him, when the war between good and evil was in the past, he used to follow Lingkongzi, he was still a child at the time, and now he can be on his own, generation after generation is more powerful, our generation is really not convinced of the old. The middle-aged monk said with a smile.
"The city master cultivates to be profound, and the ideal of the younger generation is to one day be like the city lord, the world is big, you can go anywhere, after the catastrophe, you will fly to the fairy world, crisscross the immortals, and be proud of all things. ”
"Little doll, you can really talk. The middle-aged monk laughed.
"Why did the city lord summon me this time?" Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, Zhao Tian hurriedly asked.
"The Four Sect Trials three years ago was the consensus reached between the City Lord's Mansion and the Four Sects, and the elite disciples of the Four Sects all came to the City Lord's Mansion to report after the three-day trial, except for the seriously injured female disciples of the Sword Sect, only you are missing. The City Lord's Mansion sent a large number of guards to search around the Dark Forest, but no trace of you was found. Everyone thinks that you are unlucky, especially your senior brother, who waited for you in Yunmeng City for a year before being recalled by the Izumo Sect. The middle-aged monk said.
"The juniors were just at the gate of the city, so they were very curious, why did the third prince know that the juniors had arrived in Yunmeng City today, presumably it should be the sect master who detected the breath of the city lord's mansion clearance token, and only then did he know that the juniors had arrived. ”
"The little doll is really smart. The middle-aged monk's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"The city lord has won the award, and as long as the city lord's mana magic power appears, it can be detected by thousands of miles away. ”
"Actually, before, the old man also tried to detect the token breath, but there has been no contact for three years, only recently I found out, presumably you must have been trapped in the broken space in the past three years, isolated from any breath. The middle-aged monk's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Zhao Tian and said.
"The junior is indeed trapped in a broken space near the dark forest, where there is no light and spiritual power is completely unusable. ”
"Are there any other buildings in that broken space besides darkness?" the middle-aged monk asked suddenly.
"There is nothing but darkness. Zhao Tian shook his head when he heard this.
"And how did you get out of it?" asked the middle-aged monk.
"The younger generation is also muddy in the broken space all day long, as if it is like sleepwalking, suddenly a white light appeared, and Xiaobai and I came out, but I didn't expect that this time I was sleepy for three years. Zhao Tian said.
The middle-aged monk's expression was calm when he heard this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"This city lord has been asking me about the broken space, could it be that this Hongmeng Hall really has some kind of connection with the main hall in the Immortal Mansion, and I still can't say anything about it until the matter is clear. Zhao Tian made up his mind in his heart.
"Can you lend me this sword behind you? The middle-aged monk looked behind Zhao Tian and said.
"Senior, this is a rusty sword, it was picked up by the junior in the dark forest, presumably it must have been the sword dropped by the monk who entered the dark forest before, and it has rusted over time. Zhao Tian said, then untied the rusty sword behind him and handed it to the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk slowly took the rusty sword, looked at it carefully, and gently brushed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his expression changed abnormally.
"This sword is so powerful, with the old man's cultivation, he can't see through it, and he can't even enter half a point of spiritual sense. The middle-aged monk was slightly surprised at this moment.
It took about a quarter of an hour for the middle-aged monk to return the sword to Zhao Tian.
The middle-aged monk slowly walked to the top of the main hall, looked at Hongmeng and was silent for a long time, while Zhao Tian was standing under His Royal Highness at the moment, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.
