Chapter 426 Flame and Madness
Although the half-saint strongman's long-planned all-out attack only passed through Huizhou County from the sky, the beam of light that eclipsed the rising sun still inevitably brought chaos to the crowd below.
After the roar that sounded like an earth dragon turning over, the queue waiting to enter the city downstairs immediately lost order.
Ordinary people didn’t know what was happening, but their knowledge for a long time told them that this tall city wall could provide them with shelter.
The vegetable farmers carrying fresh fruits and vegetables desperately tried to squeeze into the city to seek shelter, but they were knocked to the ground by the caravan guards riding tall horses. The seasonal fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground. The leader of the caravan wanted to bribe the soldiers on duty. He was released but was crowded away by the chaotic crowd, and countless shouts and curses resounded under the city cave.
In this chaotic state, the first person to die soon appeared.
A skinny old woman was crying with her head covered in blood. She tried her best to lie on the bamboo basket to protect the vegetables she was going to use to supplement her family's income. However, she was ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the crowd. Stomp back and forth until there is no sound.
“Those who break into the city gate without permission will be killed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior wearing the uniform of a city defense commander randomly slashed the sides of several men who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape into the city. The sword with the blessing of cultivation directly cut several people in half!
The people from the City Defense Department used knives.
The **** scenes and evil aura instantly shocked the chaos below, but this order only lasted for a few breaths.
Because after a few breaths, another thunderous shock came from the sky.
But this time, unlike the first roar that was far away in the sky, it happened right outside Huizhou City.
The mortals under the city wall didn’t know what was happening. They only knew that the roar was followed by the majestic wind pressure.
Powerful wind swept down from mid-air, and the shock wave generated by the collision hit the ground, and the weak ones were directly shocked to the point of vomiting blood!
The horses neighed, the crowd cried, and invisible fear spread under the city wall. The order that was finally established collapsed again, and the crowd began to rush towards the city desperately.
Under the crowds of people eager to survive, dozens of low-level warriors from the City Defense Department were no longer able to maintain order.
Some people were lucky enough to escape into the city, but more people were stuck under the gate of the city tower by the surging crowd, and there were sounds of crying and shouting as far as the eye could see.
Squeezing them from front to back, left and right, making them unable to breathe. Some people wanted to retreat, but could not. The desperate suffocation feeling directly enveloped everyone under the city cave.
At this time,
An even more desperate voice came.
This is a low roar.
Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes and saw that the heavy city gate was slowly pressing towards the door opening.
The city cave was suddenly quiet for a moment, and then there was an even more frightening and violent quarrel!
“The **** from the City Defense Department have come down from the city gate!!”
“Hurry up. Hurry up! People in front of you, hurry up!”
“No, no! The city gate is down!”
The city defense official in charge of the city gate has seen monsters and participated in suppressing bandits, but what happened in front of him can no longer be explained by these things.
An unknown crisis is coming. For the safety of the entire county and to avoid further deterioration of the situation, he can only choose to close the city.
As the city wall was crushing down, the panicked crowd suddenly discovered that the sky was changing bit by bit.
A lotus-like green curtain of light condensed over the city and connected with each other. Within a few breaths, a sky curtain was formed directly over the huge county town!
The city defense formation has been activated!
Everyone who recognized this sky was relieved, but unfortunately, most of the people in the city had never seen such a scene. Chaos and disorder quickly spread from the city gate downstairs to the entire city.
When the bustling and noisy shouts entered the courtyard, the dust that had just been stirred up had not yet settled.
Compared with the chaos in Huizhou County, the courtyard is eerily quiet.
Xu Yuan did not expect to see Li Yunqing here, nor did he expect that he was assassinated above, but this guy was still having so much fun down here.
However, Xu Yuan was relieved when he thought about it. After all, this kid had said before when he left that he wanted to experience the "customs and customs" of this place.
Xu Yuan’s eyes immediately narrowed as he glanced at the woman beneath him.
Under the warm sunshine in the early morning,
The stunning woman is lying on her back on the cold stone table. Her colorful red dress is half untied. You can vaguely see the undulations of her chest and the beautiful curves of her belly. Her exposed snow-skinned skin is white and pink due to the light, and her face is glowing. The remaining blush and spring color make people daydream.
“Ahem!”
A low cough suddenly broke the silence in the courtyard, and also drew Xu Yuan's eyes from the stunning woman to Li Yunqing.
Looking at each other for a moment,
Li Yunqing grinned.
Xu Yuan also smiled, and then looked back.
."Li Yunqing.
Man, how can a woman be as good-looking as a man?
Of course, Xu Yuan didn’t stare at this stunning woman just because she thought she looked good, but mainly because she looked familiar.
Yes, it looks familiar.
Although the dress and appearance of the woman in front of him had changed, under the prying eyes of his spiritual vision, this woman should be the beautician who accompanied Li Yunqing that night in Guangyang Mansion.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, and Xu Yuan couldn't help but look at the woman's beautiful figure with a hint of scrutiny.
As the world's top flying mount, the Black Eagle's speed is not even comparable to that of the Grand Master, but it is more durable and can fly continuously for half a month.
In the case of traveling an extremely long distance, the Yuanchu experts may not be able to reach their destination faster than Xuan Ying Pavilion, but this woman actually arrived in Huizhou County at the same time as them.
So, this woman is Li Yunqing’s trump card?
No wonder Lou Ji would throw him here
In the strange silence of the courtyard, the woman who was lying on her back on the stone table suddenly disappeared from Xu Yuan's sight, and when she reappeared the next moment, she was already neatly dressed in the complicated red dress. .
The enchanting woman bowed to Xu Yuan who was not far away in a graceful manner:
“Qianxi has met the third young master.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and did not answer the woman. Instead, he looked at Li Yunqing and raised his lips:
"Who is this"
Li Yunqing’s embarrassment disappeared from his face and he said with a smile:
“One of my favorite confidante.”
“So she is a younger brother and sister?”
“Changtian, you are right to understand this.”
“Then you still said you wanted to give her to me in Guangyang Mansion?”
."Li Yunqing.
The words fell silent, and Qianxi's lowered bright eyes suddenly narrowed.
It was not because the third young master was teasing her with her words, but because a mere soul condensation on the other side was able to break through her disguise.
“Don’t be surprised, Lou Ji told me.”
Xu Yuan casually made up a convincing explanation, glanced at the woman, and asked Li Yunqing directly: "Yunqing, what kind of cultivation is Qianxi?"
Lou Ji threw him here casually. She must have noticed the situation on Li Yunqing's side.
This woman's cultivation level should not be weak at all.
Li Yunqing did not answer, straightened his robe, and called softly:
“Qianxi, I’ll ask you again in Changtian.”
Hearing the words, Qianxi leaned slightly and said in a clever voice:
“Back to Your Highness and Third Young Master, Qianxi was lucky enough to break through the realm of transformation on New Year’s Eve this year.”
Transformation
Xu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.
Even though Sister Lou Jina was guarding him, the situation in front of him had already reached a life-and-death crisis for him.
Looking at the solemn look on Lou Ji's face when the woman in black skirt appeared just now, she must be a semi-saint in cultivation.
Since Jiantian Pavilion has sent a semi-saint, the possibility of other strong men accompanying him is almost 100%.
Furthermore, the opponent's sneak attack with a beam of light was obviously planned for a long time.
In other words, other strong men may have lurked into Huizhou County.
Now that there is one more powerful person who has transformed from the mortal world to help, it is tantamount to providing help in times of need.
Li Yunqing pointed at Xu Yuan’s somewhat disheveled clothes, frowned slightly, and asked knowingly:
“My God, have you been assassinated?”
Xu Yuan nodded slightly and pointed at the fully deployed city defense formation in the sky:
“Lou Ji has already dealt with the assassin.”
“You were assassinated, what are you doing here?”
.”Xu Yuan.
Seeing the smile in Li Yunqing's eyes, the corners of Xu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
logue
Li Yunqing still had the same curious expression, and even blinked at Xu Yuan.
Damn it, this time it’s finally your turn to beg me, can’t I kill you?
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and then said with the same smile:
“Don’t we need your help, Junqing?”
“Help?” Li Yunqing raised his eyebrows, still curious: “How can I help?”
Xu Yuan clicked his mouth, gritted his teeth and nodded with a smile:
“The person who came to assassinate me is not weak in cultivation, so I’m afraid I need help from a beauty like you.”
“I want Qianxi to take action.”
Li Yunqing frowned, touched his chin, and suddenly asked:
"What about my sister-in-law? He won't just sit idly by and ignore it, right?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"sister in law?"
“The Saint of Jiantian Pavilion.”
“She is my sister-in-law, so who is your sister?”
“Let each count his own.”
Li Yunqing replied with a smile: "You are a brother-in-law and an elder brother. It is not too much to call that saint sister-in-law."
“If your sister finds out, you’ll have to get a beating.”
“You dare to tell my sister?”
.”Xu Yuan.
After being silent for a few breaths, Xu Yuan looked at the Yakuza eagerly:
“Junqing, your sister-in-law left for something some time ago, and now your brother-in-law and brother has been assassinated. You can’t just ignore him, right?”
Li Yunqing showed a hint of worry and nodded:
“My God, it’s natural that this king will not save you until you die, but I will lend you the seven million taels of silver when the city is sealed in the north. Look at it.”
broken.
Xu Yuan said tentatively:
“I remember it was like five hundred.”
"well"
Li Yunqing sighed softly and looked up at the sky with a faint look in his eyes: "Changtian, Qianxi is my true love. I want her to protect you from such a strong man. Tell me if you are in danger."
Looking at the pretentious virtue of this shameless man, Xu Yuan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked:
“Li Yunqing, aren’t you afraid of being buried with me?”
Li Yunqing replied without hesitation with a smile:
“Although Li Zhaoyuan is very courageous, he doesn’t dare to directly attack the city and kill you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany him.”
ˆ “.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked expressionlessly:
“I don’t have enough cash or banknotes, can I use supplies as an offset?”
“Brother Changtian is so refreshing.”
Li Yunqing smiled brightly, arched his hands, and spread his hands out in front of Xu Yuan: "Anything is fine."
Xu Yuan reached into his arms and was about to take out a Sumeru Ring, but he suddenly paused and said for no reason:
"By the way, Junqing, do you know who the person who came to assassinate this time is from?"
"Um?"
Li Yunqing was suspicious and shook his head: "How do I know this?"
Xu Yuan stared into his eyes and smiled:
“Don’t know? Do you want to know?”
ˆ “.”
As the words fell into silence, Li Yunqing's heart skipped a beat.
Hand done.
This hanging man is going to drag him into the water again.
With the situation at this stage, if he knew the identity of those who assassinated him, let alone a prince, the prince would have to be silenced here.
Thinking of this, Li Yunqing turned around and wanted to leave, but his movement suddenly stopped.
Wrong.
He realized something.
From the moment Xu Changtian was thrown into his courtyard by Lou Ji, he had already been dragged into the water.
It doesn't matter whether he really knows it or not. As long as Prince Xu Yuan exposes the identity of the assassins when he meets them, and adds the following sentence: [I have informed the third prince of your identities], then he will definitely be on the assassination list. .
**** it! Why do all the big and small people in this Prime Minister's Mansion have silver coins? !
ˆ “.”
The sun is still shining in the courtyard, and the smoke that has just risen has fallen to the ground.
The three people standing on the stone slabs and blue bricks did not speak. Li Yunqing's expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.
Although he called this woman Qianxi here to ensure the safety of this **** Xu Changtian, why is he feeling so uncomfortable now?
As his thoughts were wandering, Li Yunqing suddenly caught a glimpse of a small black shadow flying towards him.
I caught it subconsciously, unfolded it and took a look, only to find that it was a Sumeru Ring.
Li Yunqing was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to look at the man opposite.
Xu Yuan just stood there and stared at him with a smile:
"You gave this to me in Beifeng City before. I have never touched it. Now I will give it back to you."
."Li Yunqing. Holding the Sumeru Ring, Li Yunqing opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Why did he actually feel a little touched by this embarrassing behavior?
Taking a deep breath, Li Yunqing stuffed the Sumeru Ring into his arms and rubbed his eyebrows:
“Okay, okay, Qianxi, just follow Changtian for the time being, listen to his orders, and keep him safe.”
Upon hearing this, Qianxi immediately leaned forward and responded:
“Yes, Qianxi will do her best.”
Li Yunqing looked back at Xu Yuan, stared at him deeply, and said:
"Xu Changtian, I will lend you Qianxi temporarily. You owe me a favor this time."
He said,
He paused for a moment and said quietly:
“There is also Changtian, Qianxi is my true love, and her safety is also very important.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly trembled.
Although he thought that Li Yunqing would have a trump card and be able to call some high-level experts to help him, after all, he controlled a large interest group like the Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. If he didn't have any connections, then Li Yunqing would really be in vain.
But Xu Yuan really didn't expect that the opponent's trump card was actually one of his beauties, and she was also a Mortal Realm beauties who obeyed his words.
This relationship is too close.
As a prince who dared not break through even a third-grade grandmaster to prevent the crown prince from being jealous, is it really normal for Li Yunqing to have such a strong man by his side?
Completely abnormal.
Even for the heirs of top powers like them, the powerful ones in the Mortal Realm are not cabbage, let alone the ones in the Mortal Realm who obey every word.
Thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Xu Yuan understood the meaning of Li Yunqing's words.
This mortal woman named Qianxi should be someone the prince placed around him.
Li Yunqing wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of his beloved.
After a moment's pause, a smile appeared on Xu Yuan's face:
"Don't worry, I have no chance to do anything wrong to your beloved now."
Li Yunqing rolled his eyes:
“You can’t break her body even with your cultivation.”
Xu Yuan glanced up and down strangely at the opponent, a strong person in the body-melting realm:
“So you’ve been doing thunder but no rain?”
"also?"
Li Yunqing grasped the key point, glanced at Xu Yuan contemptuously, shook his head, and smiled mysteriously:
"Qianxi is different from my sister. She is a gentle and good woman."
"gentle?"
“She will relax on her own.”
.”Xu Yuan.
Li Yunqing waved his hand:
"What are you doing here, kid?"
Xu Yuan smiled hoarsely:
“Are you so anxious to drive me away?”
Li Yunqing laughed angrily:
"The person they want to assassinate is you, not me. Once we are blocked in this courtyard, I will have to ask Qianxi to protect me first."
Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard the words, and then bowed his hands with a serious face:
“Yunqing, I have accepted this favor, and I will return it to you when I have the opportunity in the future.”
“Come on, just don’t drag me into trouble when something happens in the future.
Li Yunqing smiled and waved his hand. As he spoke, he pointed to the hole in the courtyard that was made by Xu Yuan:
“Remember to deal with this hole before you leave. I don’t want to be tortured by the assassins to confess your whereabouts because of this.”
Having said that,
He turned around and walked directly towards the stone-tiled house in the courtyard, leaving Xu Yuan with a pretentious and solemn figure behind him.
Looking at the door closing, only Xu Yuan and Qianxi were left in the courtyard.
Qianxi bowed and reminded:
“Third Young Master, where are we going now?”
Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed with blood, and he softly replied:
“Let’s go to the Black Eagle Attic first.”
Qianxi didn’t ask why, she just said:
“Xuan Ying Pavilion is in the beast room of the Department of Alien Beasts. It’s some distance away from here. Do you need me to take you there?”
Xu Yuan was not surprised that the other party knew the location of Xuanying Pavilion and shook his head:
“The assassin has probably already sneaked into the city, and it would be too risky to fly in the air.”
The beautiful eyes of Qianxi revealed a hint of thought:
“Just now, Chief Lou used his Qi machine to protect you, sir. I didn’t sense your aura before you fell into the courtyard, and I think those who assassinated you didn’t know either.”
When speaking,
There was no shyness at all on Qianxi's beautiful face, as if she was not the protagonist who broke into Xu Yuan's affair just now.
Xu Yuan nodded slightly when he heard the words.
Li Yunqing should not have any idiosyncrasies of being spied on. If he knew of his arrival, he would probably stop what he was doing.
Speaking of this, Qianxi's conversation suddenly changed and she whispered:
"It's just that your cultivation is too weak, sir. Those who assassinate you will probably be able to find your whereabouts with just one soul search."
Xu Yuan chuckled and replied firmly:
“These people haven’t found me yet.”
His unfolded spiritual vision did not detect any prying eyes.
While saying this, Xu Yuan took out the willow ghost blade that Tian Yan brought to him from the Sumeru Ring.
As soon as the ghost blade came out, an ominous atmosphere instantly filled the entire courtyard, and crazy emotions spread in Qianxi's heart.
Qianxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suppressed the negative emotions in her heart for a moment, but there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
With her cultivation and eyesight, she couldn't see through the blade, but was still affected by it.
The Prime Minister’s Mansion actually handed over such a precious weapon to a soul condensing person?
Just when she was surprised, Qianxi saw the third son of the Prime Minister in front of her holding a sword in the air.
Then,
ification.
He backhand stabbed the ghost blade directly into his side.
Qianxi was stunned.
How come the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly committed suicide here?
and,
With the power of such strange weapons, even a slight scratch on the opponent's soul-condensing cultivation will be fatal.
A burst of invisible energy spread from the ghost blade, Xu Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and the majestic cold aura seeped into his body along the ghost blade's blade.
Even though they have the same origin, he still can't bear the energy of this willow ghost blade.
But for the sake of concealment, he could only do this.
Under Qianxi's surprised gaze, the Qi Ji on Xu Yuan's body disappeared little by little, and finally disappeared completely.
Qianxi’s beautiful eyes blinked, and her **** red lips slightly opened:
"This is."
With a pale face, Xu Yuan put the Willow Ghost Blade back into the Sumeru Ring, and while using his energy to stop the bleeding, he whispered:
“Cooperating with the secret method, this ghost blade can suppress the vitality of living people, just like withered bones, making it impossible for the outside energy to be detected.”
“Secret method?”
Qianxi looked sideways.
She doesn’t understand why the Soul Condensing Realm can use such a level of means?
Xu Yuan had no intention of explaining to the woman, and casually replied: "Secrets of the prime minister's office."
This secret method was created by himself in the illusion in order to escape the pursuit of Tianye and Jiantian Pavilion.
He is able to use his cultivation now, thanks to the Blood Yuan Xin Yuan Jue that swallowed up part of the holy Yin source. Otherwise, he would have died suddenly the moment the ghost blade penetrated his body.
Seeing this, Qianxi didn’t ask any further questions:
“It’s Qianxi who overstepped her bounds.”
Xu Yuan waved his hands indifferently and asked aloud while walking towards the courtyard gate:
"You can hide it from Lou Ji and she followed us all the way to Huizhou County. I shouldn't have to worry about the art of gathering breath, right?"
Qianxi smiled slightly and followed Xu Yuan slowly:
“Third Young Master, please rest assured, I am quite confident in my ability to hide my breath, but...”
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and asked with a hint of confusion:
“Sir, if you have such means, why don’t you find a secret room to hide? It should be impossible for those assassins to find you.”
Xu Yuan chuckled, raised his eyes and glanced at the sky that was already covered by the city defense formation:
“Maybe they really can’t find it.”
“Then you.”
“But they can massacre the city.”
Out of the courtyard and out of the alley, Qianxi quietly grabbed a carriage, left more than a dozen taels of broken silver for the unconscious victim, and drove Xu Yuan towards the direction of the Alien Beast Department.
Horse carriages are the lowest class of civilian carriages.
An ordinary pony, with an ordinary apricot wood body, and the wheels underneath it are already a few years old, and even when driving on a smooth official road, it is a bit bumpy.
But at this time, Xu Yuan had no time to worry about comfort. This kind of horse-drawn carriage, which is the most common on the street, would attract the least attention.
Driving along, the chaos and bustle on the streets still continued, but compared to the beginning, there were already some low-level warriors on the streets starting to maintain order.
They were not government arrests, but warriors dressed in the attire of gentry and retainers.
I think it was Xiaobai who put in the effort.
For Xiaobai, a "country girl" from a poor place, this wealthy city in Huizhou County will be her territory in the future. People and things are rare resources and must be maintained well.
Besides the chaotic mortals on the ground, the divine fight between Lou Ji and the woman in black skirt continued.
Only the scene of the two people doing something, except for the assassins and Qianxi, no one else in Huizhou County, including Xu Yuan, could see it.
They could only hear the unsettling roars that continued to explode in the sky, and the ripples that continued to appear on the green sky composed of the city defense formation.
If it weren't for this city defense formation, the aftermath of the fight between Lou Ji and the woman in the black skirt would probably have razed Huizhou County to the ground a dozen times.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the sky, then lowered his eyes to look at his palms, and sighed lowly.
If he was still cultivating in the illusion, if he was still the original ghost, why would the situation in front of him be like this?
“Little devil, why are you going to Xuan Ying’s attic?”
His thoughts were interrupted by a voice that sounded deep in his heart: "It shouldn't be very safe over there."
“Of course I know it’s not safe.”
After coming back to his senses, Xu Yuan glanced at the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant hanging on his chest, smiled and replied via voice transmission: "But the most dangerous place is often the safest, isn't it?"
Luo Xiran snorted softly, with a helpless tone:
“Hmph, don’t make such nonsense with me again.”
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, and the appearance of the woman in black dress appeared in his mind:
“Okay, actually, the woman in the black dress just now seemed familiar to me.”
“Looks familiar?”
Luo Xiran was suspicious: "You can recognize that woman even if she's wearing a mask?"
“No, it was her charged light spell that reminded me of an old friend of mine.”
“Old friend?”
"Um."
Xu Yuan responded, an old friend whom Xindao met in his previous life in "Cangyuan".
Luo Xiran's voice was a little strange: "You are an old friend when you are young. You should know how risky it is to go here. If you run into those assassins here, it will be difficult for me and this girl to save you."
Xu Yuan took a long breath, chuckled and said:
“If they still can’t find me, they will massacre the city indiscriminately. It’s better to do something that can be done now.”
After finishing speaking, Luo Xiran was silent for a while and sighed:
“I hope you have an idea.”
Xu Yuan chuckled softly:
“Don’t worry, I.”
“Third Young Master, something happened in the Alien Beast Department!”
Before she finished speaking, Qianxi's clear and slightly puzzled voice suddenly entered the carriage.
Xu Yuan frowned, subconsciously opened the car curtain and looked in the direction of the Alien Beast Division.
As if to answer Qianxi's reminder, the sky in the direction Xu Yuan was looking suddenly burst out with a white light.
Then,
A mushroom cloud of flames slowly rose, and the shock wave generated directly flattened several surrounding blocks!
A majestic heat wave rolled in, and the green sky formed by the city defense formation instantly became a bit dim due to the impact. Even Xu Yuan, who was several miles away, could vaguely feel the majestic heat inside. temperature.
Looking blankly at the sudden release of spells over there, Xu Yuan subconsciously felt that the people in Jiantian Pavilion were crazy.
According to common sense,
Using large-scale destructive magic to massacre the city can indeed force him out. After all, he will have to resist when the magic blows up on his head, but this is completely a last resort option. Why do these people start massacring the city without even looking for them?
When Xu Yuan was stunned and puzzled,
An old and haggard voice resounded throughout Huizhou County with madness:
“Kill! All of you must die! Hahahahahahahaha!!”
