Chapter 427 Urgency
Pinghuai Street is the only most prosperous commercial district in Huizhou County. It has the top brothels and restaurants in Huizhou County, the best weapons and iron shops in Huizhou County, and even a medicine shop that specializes in providing elixirs for cultivators.
Although the quality of the various cultivation supplies sold is far inferior to those of large chambers of commerce, it is enough for the knights who wander around the world.
In Huizhou County, which has no curfew policy, Pinghuai Street is the gathering place for most martial arts practitioners and various types of gentry and gentry. It is also the largest gold selling cave in the county.
Here, there are stories about knights and knights in the world who turned into a beauty out of anger, and there are also rumors about a noble prince spending hundreds of taels of silver in one night just to get a smile from a beautiful woman.
Two quarters of an hour ago, when dawn was rising in the sky and before any changes occurred, compared to the tranquility of other places in Huizhou County, Pinghuai Street was still bustling with people.
The patrons who had just left the brothel after a night of hangover and storm were joking and leaving. Carriages replenishing goods kept coming and going on the street, and some self-disciplined early-rising knights were already enjoying their morning meal in the luxuriously decorated restaurant.
Among the people enjoying breakfast, an old man in luxurious robes and a beautiful lady were sitting quietly by the window on the second floor of the wine shop, watching the streets with people coming and going below.
This combination is very strange, because both of them have iron masks carved with strange crying faces, but the strange thing is that no one around them focuses on them.
After staring for a long time, the old man looked away and whispered softly as if sighing:
“Having lived in the mountain gate for a long time, it is quite unique to see the fireworks in this mortal world today, but the atmosphere of this city has changed a lot compared to when I was young, and these low-level warriors have become everywhere.”
The middle-aged lady heard the words but did not say a word. She looked at the sky outside the window through her pair of indifferent eyes without saying a word.
Seeing that the middle-aged lady did not answer the call, the old man seemed to know what the other party was thinking, and his withered voice sounded:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, since we have come to this realm, we should not look forward or backward any more. Although this trip is dangerous, Fairy Luo is here. As long as we act according to the plan, Xu Changtian should not be able to cause any trouble."
The beautiful middle-aged woman came back to her senses after hearing the words, looked at the old man opposite the wooden table, and said in a gentle and gentle voice:
“Now that I’m here, Fu will not worry, but I’m a little bit curious why Lou Ji is only dealt with by Fairy Luo alone.”
Their five-person plan is actually very simple.
The troops were divided into three groups. The woman surnamed Luo was responsible for holding back Lou Ji. She and the haggard old man were responsible for searching for Jing Tingxi's daughter, while Tai Shiran and Fatty Zhou were responsible for searching for traces of Xu Changtian in the city.
This may seem reasonable, but it is not.
The key to the success of the entire assassination operation is actually to get rid of the chief of the Black Scale Guard.
Thinking in her heart, the middle-aged beautiful woman looked at the sky again:
“Isn’t it a better choice for the five of us to surround and kill the woman together? Now that the reinforcements from the Prime Minister’s Mansion have not arrived, as long as Lou Ji dies, Xu Changtian will be the meat on the chopping board.”
The haggard old man laughed softly when he heard the words, and his voice was covered by the iron mask of mourning, and his voice was like crying:
“Fellow Daoist Fu, this woman Lou Ji is an unusual cultivator. The risk of surrounding and killing her is too great.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned slightly when she heard this. Since she has been in southern Xinjiang all year round, she actually doesn’t know much about the notorious Commander-in-Chief of the Black Scale Guard:
“You want to say that four of us mortals and one semi-saint can’t surround and kill her?”
The haggard old man shook his head and said in a leisurely tone:
"It's not that we can't surround and kill her, but that woman is good at using poison, and her Tao domain is extremely weird. If we are not as good as her, we will easily fall into her trap, and let Fairy Luo hold her down alone." The safest decision."
The beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes under the mask flickered for a moment when she heard this, and she breathed out softly:
“You are too cautious.”
The haggard old man didn’t take it seriously at all, and replied with a chuckle:
“Be careful with the Ten Thousand Years Ship. Lou Ji will almost never leave anyone alive every time she attacks. We have to be on guard.”
The words have not yet finished,
A huge force of energy rose up from the county government office in the center of Huizhou County, causing the two of them to immediately look in the direction from which the energy force came.
There, a purple escaping light appeared.
In order to hide themselves, the two of them did not use their skills, so the moment the light appeared, they disappeared from their field of vision.
And immediately afterwards,
It was the beam of light that eclipsed the sky and the earth, cutting through the void and passing over Huizhou County!
Seeing this scene,
The two people sitting in the wine shop by the window were silent for a moment.
The haggard old man smiled and said:
“Fellow Daoist Fu, Fairy Luo has started, we can take action.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned when she heard this, raised her finger and pointed at the sky:
“Lou Ji seems to have thrown someone down, so it should be Xu Changtian, right?”
Naturally, the haggard old man saw this scene just now, and asked with a chuckle:
“Indeed, but can you be sure where it will land?”
ˆ “.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman recalled the scene just now in detail in her mind.
Just now in her field of vision, she did see a person being thrown from the sky by Lou Ji, but the person was wrapped in a psychedelic energy. Even with her cultivation, she could not determine where the person landed.
Looking at that Qi Ji, it seems to be from the Dao realm?
As soon as the thought came out, the middle-aged beautiful woman was suddenly startled. She looked at the haggard old man opposite and seemed to ask:
“That energy just now was”
“It should be Lou Ji’s realm.” The haggard old man said with a smile in his voice: “It’s quite scary, isn’t it? This is the true strength of the Chief of the Black Scale Guard.”
ˆ “.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman did not reply.
But at this moment, she suddenly understood why Tai Shiran only asked the woman named Luo to hold Lou Ji back.
The woman Lou Ji’s manipulation of the Dao realm completely subverted her understanding.
The Dao Realm is the symbol of the Mortal Transformation Realm and the source of its power. Once the Dao Realm is unfolded, cultivators within its scope will be nearly invincible.
But the same Dao Realm has a fatal flaw. The Dao Realm is centered on the cultivator, and the scope of the Dao Realm is too narrow. For top cultivators like Sheofan and Yuanchu, escaping is a matter of seconds.
And Lou Ji was actually able to directly temporarily cover other people with the Dao realm.
If a middle-aged beautiful woman were to confront Lou Ji, as long as the other party used this ghostly method to trap the realm on her body and keep a certain distance from her, then she would only be beaten unilaterally.
The battle between ordinary cultivators is almost a competition between the two sides in their use of the Tao domain.
Her Dao Domain cannot reach Lou Ji due to the distance, but Lou Ji’s Dao Domain can directly cover her body.
How to fight this?
An ordinary metamorphosis cultivator would face a one-sided crushing defeat against Lou Ji.
With shock in her heart, the middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky south of the city.
She thought of the woman surnamed Luo who was fighting with Lou Ji, and there was a hint of worry in her voice:
“She, Fairy Luo.”
The haggard old man’s fingertips gently touched the wooden table in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, now is not the time to worry about Fairy Luo. As a powerful semi-saint, Fairy Luo will naturally have her own methods. Since the other side has already taken action, we can't delay it any longer."
Speaking of which,
The haggard old man smiled softly:
“Fu Daoyouyou had a close relationship with Jing Tingxi back then, and they loved each other so much. Don’t you want to find Jing Tingxi’s daughter earlier?”
The beautiful middle-aged woman calmed down when she heard the words. She heard the teasing tone of the other person's words and snorted softly:
“You talk a lot of nonsense.”
The haggard old man chuckled and slowly stood up from the wooden table:
“Let’s find the woman earlier, and we can go to help her earlier.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman also stood up, her slender fingertips lightly brushed across the delicate surface of the desk, and asked:
"Although Huizhou County is not big, it is still a county town. How can I directly use my mind and soul to explore?"
The haggard old man thought for a moment, glanced at the two women fighting on the dome, and shook his head slightly:
"Lou Ji and Fairy Luo should still be testing each other now. She should still have the ability to observe the city. You have seen her methods just now. Let's keep a low profile for the time being so as not to be noticed by her."
The beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes revealed a hint of thought, and she whispered:
"What you said makes sense. In that case, should we go to the Huizhou County Government Office or the Alien Beasts Department first?"
The county government office and the Department of Alien Beasts, one is where Lou Ji stayed this morning, and the other is where their Black Eagle loft is parked, both of which are likely to be where Jing Xuelan is imprisoned.
Since they still need to remain hidden, the two of them can check these two places for the time being.
The haggard old man groaned slightly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:
"Let's go to the Alien Beast Department first. Jing Xuelan's cultivation is not weak. If we want to imprison her, the dungeons in Huizhou County may not be enough."
“Without further delay, let’s set off immediately.”
As the most precious flying instrument of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, the Black Eagle Pavilion has numerous restrictions. The secret room on the bottom floor even has temporary restrictions set by Lou Ji. However, for the haggard old man and the middle-aged beautiful woman, these two levels of restrictions are equivalent to ordinary people. Yu did not.
The two of them came to the secret room at the bottom of Xuan Ying's attic as if they were in a deserted place.
The moment they entered the secret room, their eyes immediately locked on the young woman who was only wearing a bra and underwear on the stone table in the center of the secret room.
The woman looks like a fairy, as quiet as a virgin, with her eyes closed and unconscious, and her hands and feet are bound by iron chains.
Seeing this scene, the haggard old man did not step in immediately. Instead, he asked the beautiful middle-aged woman beside him:
“Is this girl Jing Xuelan?”
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at the woman, with a trace of recollection in her eyes, and her words were a little complicated:
“It should be that she has some similarities with that person’s features.”
Hearing this emotionally complex answer, the withered old man brought a smile to his words:
“Oh, you remember it clearly, you and Jing Tingxi must have been together for decades.”
“You can say less sarcastic words.”
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked back coldly: "Instead of talking about these, it is better to see if there is any back-up plan left by the woman Lou Ji."
The haggard old man smiled and said: "In life, there are always one or two people that you will never forget. I can understand you."
As he spoke, the withered old man's eyes gradually became serious and he scanned the entire secret room.
And soon,
His eyes were fixed on the bottles and cans that had not been put away, and his cloudy eyes narrowed unconsciously:
“That woman Lou Ji is using Jing Xuelan to test medicine?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman was more observant and saw the red mark that seemed to be imprinted on Jing Xuelan's snow-white skin at a glance. She frowned slightly and reminded:
"Old man, the brand under Jing Xuelan's neck seems to be the red spot disease that has recently emerged in the northern border."
ˆ “.”
The haggard old man's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.
The news of the horrific epidemic spreading in the north could not be concealed from the upper echelons of the sect.
After all, this epidemic that makes people lose their minds has also cost them a lot of losses.
And since there was no news of the infected powerful people, he could not be sure whether such strange infectious diseases would be effective on them, but he was careful to use the Wannian Ship.
The quiet and cramped secret room fell silent for a while,
The haggard old man spoke again, and his eyes were indeed a little more wary.
“I remember that this disease has no cure for the time being.”
The middle-aged beautiful woman’s red lips under the mask slightly pursed her lips and whispered:
"You also said it was only temporary, and you also saw Fairy Luo's previous reaction. We have to give her an explanation."
The haggard old man sighed softly:
"Okay, help me raid the formation. I will use Dao Domain to check whether this place is safe. If it is safe, we will temporarily move her away."
The words fell,
A scorching flame appeared in the cloudy eyes of the withered old man, and the temperature in the originally cold and dry secret room suddenly began to rise rapidly, as if an invisible flame enveloped the entire secret room.
A ghostly aura began to spread with Jing Xuelan as the center.
Seeing this scene,
The haggard old man said without much panic in his eyes:
“That woman Lou Ji is really thoughtful and thoughtful, and she has indeed left a backup plan here.”
“Can it be solved?”
"She left a Tao realm in Jing Xuelan's body. If you come into contact with this woman without any precautions, I'm afraid even you and I will be directly attacked, but now." The withered old man chuckled and formed a spell with his hands. : "She is far away in the horizon. The Dao realm formed by leaving this little Qi Ji behind is like rootless duckweed. It is impossible for her to hurt me."
When speaking,
The hot aura in the secret room, which was like a lava hell, instantly pressed against the weird aura emanating from Jing Xuelan's surroundings!
Time returns to the present.
“Hurry up and take action with me!”
The withered old man's crazy laughter echoed in the county. The flames attached to his wrinkled hands seemed to be able to burn the space: "Jing Xuelan has been found. The four of us now just need to destroy this city and force Xu Changtian out. , everything is over hahahaha!!”
Crazy laughter can be heard endlessly, and the flames in his hands are constantly thrown towards the bottom of the city.
Every time a firework falls, there is a roaring explosion in Huizhou County, and ordinary people cry and scream one after another.
For the disaster caused by a powerful person of this level, for ordinary people to die instantly and painlessly has become their best outcome.
In the sky far away from the center of the rolling flames, the originally dignified middle-aged beautiful woman now looked a little embarrassed. Her complicated palace clothes had been burned by the flames, and her sleeves and waist were already damaged.
The white lotus-rooted arms and plump waist were exposed, and a slight burning pain kept coming to my heart.
The withered old man's technique is an indiscriminate attack. The three yang true flames practiced by the opponent make her injuries unable to be repaired and healed immediately by the technique.
But at this moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman had no time to take care of this injury.
The constant roar and the blazing flames dyed the sky red.
Under the iron mask of mourning, the middle-aged beautiful woman stared at the haggard old man not far away who had fallen into madness. Her gentle face was already ashen.
Looking at the haggard old man who looked like a madman over there, the middle-aged beautiful woman's mind was racing with thoughts, and she was quickly thinking about how to deal with it.
When they stepped into the Xuan Ying Pavilion, the two of them had paid enough attention to the backhand that Lou Ji might have left in it, but the withered old man still inevitably fell into the trap.
Just when the withered old man pressed the Qi machine and was about to completely eliminate Lou Ji’s remaining Dao domain in Jing Xuelan, a pink light exploded in the small and narrow secret room.
Charming Sakura.
That vicious woman Lou Ji has hidden the Charming God Cherry Poison in the Tao realm!
The Charming Sakura Poison prepared by Lou Ji is not something Xu Yuan, a novice at condensing souls, can compare to.
The moment it broke out, the poisonous poison flowed backwards through the Dao realm exerted by the withered old man and towards his body, causing him to fall into a brief sluggish state.
The middle-aged beautiful woman immediately wanted to rescue him and tried to use Yuan Qi to pull the old man out of the range enveloped by the pink halo, but failed.
The moment her source energy came into contact with the pink halo, the poison instantly wrapped around her source energy and surged toward her body.
If she didn't retreat, her mind would be eroded by the poison and she would be trapped here.
The moment before leaving the secret room,
The middle-aged beautiful woman saw Jing Xuelan lying on the stone slab slowly waking up from her coma, but her beautiful eyes that opened were filled with murderous intent and madness.
When he saw the other party again, the haggard old man had completely fallen into madness.
“Asshole!”
The middle-aged beautiful woman couldn't help but let out a sweet cry, and a spherical arc of light condensed in her hand in an instant.
The haggard old man has gone completely crazy. Now their plans have been completely destroyed. She has to make a decision immediately.
Should he kill the haggard old man here immediately, or should he follow the opponent and make mistakes, destroy the county town below and force Xu Changtian out.
Just as the thought arose, a low voice immediately sounded in her heart:
“Fellow Daoist Fu, what happened to Old Man Tian?”
is Tai Shiran.
Huizhou County only covers such a large area, so naturally Tai Shiran, Fatty Zhou and his party saw such a big commotion here.
However, the two did not lose their sense of propriety and showed up directly. Instead, they first inquired about the situation through sound transmission.
After hearing Tai Shiran's message, the middle-aged beautiful woman temporarily suppressed the murderous intention in her heart and simply told the other party what she had just experienced.
Tai Shiran's decision was made almost instantly, simple and cold-blooded:
“You go ahead and rescue Jing Xuelan. Don’t worry about Old Man Tian, just let him massacre the city and force Xu Changtian out.
"At this point, we can only push him out as a scapegoat. With his cultivation, he can raze Huizhou County to the ground in just a cup of tea. After we kill Xu Changtian, we can then work together to kill him. "
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, the beautiful middle-aged woman had a flash of hesitation in her eyes.
The Feng Lan Sect behind Old Man Tian is quite powerful. Doing this is tantamount to throwing away the Feng Lan Sect as an abandoned son.
But soon, she chose to listen to Tai Shiran's opinion.
In the current situation, this is the only way to act. Only in this way can the losses of Jiantian Pavilion be minimized.
Looking deeply at the old man in the sky who was killing civilians like a devil, the middle-aged beautiful woman flashed and galloped directly towards the Xuanying Pavilion below.
The madness of the withered old man turned Huizhou County into a living **** in an instant.
On the crowded streets, with pedestrians crying and running away, a carriage stopped quietly on the side of the road.
Through the car window, Xu Yuan felt that the thoughts in his mind were very chaotic.
The situation in front of him caught him off guard, and his plan was once again disrupted by the changes in the situation.
However, his habitual rationality still allowed him to calm down very quickly, and he quickly re-planned his next actions in his mind.
First of all, he heard the old man’s voice that resounded throughout the world.
The other party is here to assassinate him, and the other party is looking for Jing Xuelan.
With just a few words, Xu Yuan was able to determine the identity of the woman in black skirt.
The great elder of the reclusive Luo tribe, one of the beauties of the head of the buried village, and one of the assistants and mother-in-law of the protagonist Qin Mo in "Cangyuan", Luo Bingli.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant in his arms.
This woman named Luo, I wonder if she is related to this adopted sister?
This assassination was initiated by the Jiantian Pavilion, and ten thousand years ago, the Luo surname was still one of the seven clans of the Jiantian Pavilion.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan pressed it down temporarily.
This kind of thing is not important now. What is important is that Luo Bingli is the biological mother of Jing Xuelan, one of the heroines in "Cangyuan".
From this point of view, his choice to return to Xuanying Pavilion to find Jing Xuelan should be correct.
As long as Jing Xuelan is held hostage, Luo Bingli will definitely use the rat weapon.
Just like Xu Yuanzhi and Xu Changge and his father and uncle.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows vigorously and glanced at the crazy old man above the sky again.
Although I don’t know the process, this old man should have been infected by Jing Xuelan’s horrific disease under the plot of Sister Lou Jina, but judging from his behavior, he should not have completely lost his mind.
After all, if he was completely controlled by the fun-loving man's disease, then the other party should not be thinking about killing him now, and would have run off to have fun.
But judging from what he said about "the four of us", there are at least three people who came to assassinate him hiding in the dark.
“Third Young Master.”
In the midst of my thoughts, Qianxi's voice suddenly entered the carriage, with worry: "If this continues, Your Highness may be in danger soon."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's heart tightened slightly.
Now the only thing he can rely on is the Qianxi he borrowed from Li Yunqing. If the other party runs back and follows Li Yunqing, then he can only hope that the elder sister in the sky can give some help, or that his uncle can come quickly. .
After all, the people in Jiantian Pavilion gave him too much face during this great calamity.
Sent out four mortals and a semi-saint to assassinate his condensed soul.
Xu Changge probably doesn’t get this kind of treatment.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Xu Yuan's heart beat slightly faster, and he asked aloud:
“I know, Qianxi, how many human Qi machines can you sense from the Department of Alien Beasts?”
"Both of you are mortals." Qianxi answered simply: "And they seem to be fighting each other."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes:
“Grand Master Qi Ji counts, are you sure you can only sense the Qi Ji of two people?”
Qianxi could not understand what Xu Yuan meant by this question, but she still replied in a low voice:
"Going back to the young master, I confirmed that there are only two mortals over there."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan was heartbroken, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:
“Take me to the Alien Beast Department in Huizhou County immediately!”
“What?” Qianxi’s voice faltered.
“I said, take me to the Department of Alien Beasts!”
ˆ “.”
Qianxi hesitated: "Third Young Master, can I ask the reason?"
Xu Yuan’s answer was straightforward:
“There is someone there who can make the half-saint who held my sister down use a rat weapon to control her, and only then can the deadlock be solved!”
“Are you sure?”
"This situation is a matter of life and death. There is no way to be 100% sure! Only by doing this can we have a chance of survival, and the same goes for your Highness."
ˆ “.”
Qianxi was silent, and she naturally heard what the old man said just now.
In addition to the half-saint woman in black skirt and the old man, there are three terrifying beings of the same level as her in Huizhou County lurking in the dark. This level of assassination is beyond her imagination.
It was quiet for a moment,
Qianxi's slim figure appeared in the carriage without any warning. Without any words, she calmly stretched out a pair of slender hands to hook the man's waist.
Since His Highness asked her to obey the Third Young Master, she will do so.
Thoughts flashed, and the two figures disappeared in the car instantly, leaving only the car curtains that were rippled by the strong wind.
Under the full force of the powerful warriors, a quarter of the huge Huizhou County was destroyed in a short period of time.
And the area near the Alien Beast Department in the south of the city was the hardest-hit area. There were seas of fire steaming for miles around, and the stench of burnt meat could be heard everywhere.
Continuously avoiding the old man and throwing down the Three Yang True Flames like crazy, when the middle-aged beautiful woman returned to the top of the Xuanying Pavilion again, a hint of astonishment flashed through her eyes as she looked at the Xuanying Pavilion below.
From her commanding view, she saw two women and one man stepping out of the Black Eagle loft and onto the large deck behind the Black Eagle.
The man is handsome in brocade robes, his eyes are shining with blood, and he is staring at the sky with a gloomy expression.
Beside him stood a woman in red clothes, with an unconscious woman between her arms, it was Jing Xuelan who was locked in a secret room.
And the strange thing is,
The beautiful middle-aged woman could see the two of them in her field of vision, but when she scanned them with her mobile phone, there was no one there.
Standing on the deck,
Xu Yuan looked calmly at the uninvited guest who suddenly arrived, but his heart was beating very fast.
In the fantasy world, he often gambled his life with Tian Yan in order to survive. Unexpectedly, after returning to reality, as the prince of the Prime Minister's Palace, he actually had to gamble his life.
Looking at the woman with the iron face of mourning for a moment,
Xu Yuan opened his mouth, and his voice spread through Yuan Qi, resounding throughout the already messy Huizhou County:
“Xu Changtian is here,
“For those of you who came here to assassinate me, I think we can have a talk now.”
Turn your back to all sentient beings! 7k!
