Chapter 197: The Enemy's Conspiracy
Wan Peng's thinking is now turning fast. It is clear to anyone that the Tower of Judgment would not have been built so strong if it had only been for one trial, and would have only been used once. At the same time, since this is a large vacant land, it is not ruled out that it may be used for other purposes in the future, so the construction of temporary buildings is also supported. But the current Tower of Judgment, I'm afraid it's not easy to deliberately ram and destroy it. The foundation is nearly twenty zhang, and in the foundation, there is space, in other words, the tower has a basement.
As a judgment tower, the basement is useless and will only increase the cost.
The walls of the tower are so thick that they are almost as thick as ordinary military buildings. The interior space design is not a simple staircase up the tower, but a partition with a grid, very similar to a residential or military building. At the same time, there are some strange patterns on the tower body, and now because they are all partial, it is impossible to judge whether it is a decoration or a formation rune pattern, but the latter is more likely.
And if you look closely, it seems that under the foundation, there are also some buildings that expand outward, connected to other things, and stretch into the distance. Due to the distance limitation and the complex underground form, Wan Peng did not find out clearly.
However, these alone are enough. At the moment, Wan Peng has two speculations.
First, it's a sniper fortress. On the day of the trial, this will be the core of the entire field, and if the rescuer appears, then in the tower, you can have an unobstructed view, at this time, you can use precision sniping to destroy the rescuers one by one.
Second, this Tower of Judgment is just a cover. The Tianshan family wanted to build such a building here, and the trial of Zhiting was just an excuse to make the construction of the judgment tower look more reasonable. And the specific use of this should be studied from the connection between its underground and other places.
And what is connected outward in this way is usually something else. That is, the core of the formation! If so, the Tower of Judgment is most likely the carrier of the core material of some kind of formation. This also coincides with the presence of a basement. In that way, the fortress above can also be protected by someone.
Wan Peng tried to diverge his spiritual consciousness further, but there seemed to be a protective layer here, and the spiritual consciousness could be involved, and no matter how much it was, it couldn't. Liyang also sued sΓΉ Wanpeng, which is a way to prevent reconnaissance. And if this happens, you should take back your spiritual sense in time to avoid being counter-identified and reconnoitred.
Along the way, the flow of materials to the construction site was also quite spectacular. The ability of the royal family to mobilize is beyond Wan Peng's imagination. And this also added more pressure to his heart. Saving Zhiting, relatively speaking, may be a little less difficult, and helping the Tianli family is a difficult problem.
A problem that Liyang has long had a headache for, and Wanpeng is only now starting to have a headache.
The direction they walked was the Imperial City. Comparatively speaking, the Imperial City is a safe place. Wan Peng is just a person who entered the city with an ordinary identity, and no one would suspect a single-handed person at this time. Even if the Tianshan Mountains are well controlled, they are guarded against small teams and scattered teams that are in groups of three or two, but have the characteristics of continuous entry into the city.
Entering the Imperial City, Wancheng was still stunned although he was mentally prepared.
This is different from the sky, although it is night, the city is brightly lit, the streets are still full of people, and the roadside shops are still open. As soon as he entered, Liyang muttered something to himself, and then suddenly raised his voice, "How is it, isn't it shocking? The original imperial city, seven thousand years ago, was larger than this, and it was even more prosperous than this. It's a pity that it's gone. β
Wan Peng also sighed, "You haven't been here for seven thousand years, have you?"
Liyang smiled bitterly, "I kind of want to go home." β
Wan Peng looked ahead, "I'll take you back." β
Li Yang categorically refused at this time, "No! Now, even if a single person approaches the Tianli family, he may be suspected." Besides, if you hide the aura of a cultivator, you can only deceive ordinary people. The sky is far from home, and the danger is unpredictable. In particular, it's hard to say whether anyone will find out about me. β
Wan Peng was taken aback, "You're exaggerating, aren't you?" β
Liyang smiled bitterly, "Is it an exaggeration? This is not your Lingyun Mountain! What is the Imperial City? The center of economic and cultural force! Look at this full street, don't look at those who sell fruits on the side, it looks like an ordinary person, take out any one, it may be the demon school level, your Jindan level!"
When Liyang said this, Wan Peng couldn't help but feel excited. That's right, this is not Lingyun Mountain, nor is it Jiangxiao. This is where the real masters are concentrated. "So, what will these people do if they find out that my breath is wrong?"
Liyang said flatly, "It doesn't matter. Even if they find out, they won't care about you. In fact, as soon as the passage between demon cultivators is opened, the communication between demons and cultivators will be opened, and during the war years, there are also those who risk their trades. What's more, all the methods I teach you have a history, and the level of the method can be known by the master at a glance. Do you think, even if you are a cultivator, you have some high-level qualities of a demon on your body, ordinary people, who cares about you?"
Although Wan Peng felt reasonable, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little more cautious when walking. Near the Tianli family's settlement, he chose an inn to live in, and the window was just facing the courtyard of the Tianli family.
The courtyard of the Tianli family was calm, and almost no one walked around. And on the periphery of their compound, there are one or two layers of sentinels, all of which are the power of Tianshan Tianlan.
"Do you see that little blue building? That's where I lived. Liyang felt his home, and now he began to sigh again.
Wan Peng watched for a while, returned to bed, and devoted himself to cultivation. In the Demon Realm, his cultivation growth did not slow down, but the speed was much faster than before. After he was tired from cultivating, he began to read books, and the piles of books that Liyang gave him, each of which seemed to have a connection between each two, and if he didn't finish reading them all, he couldn't seem to really understand them.
Early the next morning, Wan Peng went outside to observe again. From the city, the spire of the Tower of Judgment can already be seen, and the progress of this tower can be imagined overnight.
The imperial city is more prosperous during the day than at night, and all kinds of demons are happy in it. There are special signs on the street that publish various information, all of which are composed of certain symbols and displayed on light curtains. Wan Peng found a piece of people who were a little less and came over, just in time to see Zhiting's trial information.
The trial is tomorrow. All participants in the trial must register before they can enter. From noon today, there will be 120 registration points in the city, and those who participate in the registration will receive an access card, which will be verified by the pass.
It seems to be just strict management, but in fact, there is a murderous motive hidden in it. It is very simple to add tracking and positioning and other surveillance effects to the jade plate. In this way, whoever has abnormal movements in the entire field can be controlled. Coupled with the special role that the Judgment Tower itself may have, if it can be connected with the Jade Plate, then the trial process will be firmly in the hands of the Tianshan Mountain and the Tianlan Family.
Wan Peng roughly memorized two registration points that were relatively close to him, and prepared to register after the time. Then, he went out of the city and went to the construction site of the Judgment Tower to watch the excitement with the flow of people. Since the Demon Realm Imperial City had not been built on such a large scale for a long time, the Tower of Judgment had also become a major event in the eyes of the people.
"Attention, you're being targeted. Liyang reminded in Wan Peng's inner world, "In front of you on the left, about thirty zhang or so." See if there are any strange people. β
Wan Peng was startled, his already nervous heart chuckled, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. According to the direction of Liyang's finger, there were a total of seven people there, including three children and four adults, and no one looked at him. "No one looked at me. How do you know?"
"There is a psychic lock. There didn't seem to be much tension in Liyang's tone, "You tightened your own spiritual sense, so you couldn't feel it. Rest assured, it's not a big problem to let go. Where there are more masters, the safer it is to release low-release spiritual sense. On the contrary, the spiritual constraints are too heavy, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. β
"What now?" Wan Peng was a little undecided, because many things in the demon world were still too unfamiliar to him.
"Concentrate your spiritual senses and push back. He should be only at the same level as you, and in the demon world, sometimes you need to be domineering. Well, it's also called brutality. Of course, it could also be reckless, and ......" Liyang didn't know why he suddenly got up, as if he thought of something again.
Wan Peng didn't wait for him to finish, he had already let go of his shackles on spiritual consciousness, and sure enough, he could feel a strange sense of spiritual sense fluctuation coming from that direction. At this time, he concentrated on mobilizing his spiritual sense, and used some thunderous operation methods in it, and directly reversed it.
One of the seven children suddenly trembled all over his body and fell directly to the ground and convulsed. Wan Peng couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually a child? Even if it was playful, among so many people, what did he test me for? Moreover, at such a young age, it seemed that it was not appropriate to have such spiritual sense. It's just that, obviously, although his spiritual sense is strong, it is only strong in strength, and his use is too poor.
As soon as the child fell, the four adults immediately became nervous and surrounded the child to rescue him. Wan Peng was afraid of causing follow-up trouble, so he hurriedly changed his position. But soon, the whole audience felt a coercion, and someone released an extremely powerful spiritual sense, testing everyone present.
From this spiritual sense alone, Wan Peng felt that this person was at least at the level of the demon school. Liyang suddenly smiled strangely at this time, "Ah, this is really domineering, it's a pity, it's going to be over." Absolutely finished. β
Wan Peng was a little puzzled, "What? What do you mean? What are you done?"
Liyang took a deep breath, "Be careful, take another thirty feet back, quickly!"
