Chapter 400 News of Burning Earth
This sudden scene brought Chen Fan back to his senses, and then he looked again. The imperial city was resplendent and misty, and there was no golden dragon manifesting. The scene just now was like a hallucination.
But he is clear that this is real, and none of the dozens of Nascent Soul experts who accompanied him have discovered it, and only he himself has seen it.
That is the aura of dragon prestige, which comes from the Emperor Ren, the entire imperial palace that has been passed down for thousands of years, and even more so, the people of the entire Wu Kingdom.
Gathering the beliefs of countless people, this golden dragon has been created today. As long as the dragon's prestige is still there, it will protect the country of Wu and maintain its prosperity! But looking at it now, although the golden dragon has quite a shape, it is extremely illusory. The power of the dragon is about to be exhausted, and Wu's national destiny may not be able to last for a long time, maybe only a few decades.
"Fellow Daoist, let's part here for this trip, and we will meet again someday!" At this time, several servants said with a light smile, interrupting Chen Fan's meditation.
After hearing the words, Chen Fan also nodded slightly to say goodbye, and immediately several people turned around with their hands clasped together, turning into streamers and leaving.
He watched a few people leave, and he was very clear in his heart. They were high-level powerhouses, but they were so polite to him. What they were afraid of was only the unwarranted talisman master behind him, not himself. A world where power is paramount.
A moment later, Chen Fan landed outside the imperial city. Like Baihuang City, monks are forbidden to fly all the way in the city. He stepped into the city, but just walked a few steps, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked towards him. Wearing a black and red official uniform, his cultivation base has reached the Yuanying stage, and there are several Jindan stage soldiers behind him.
The middle-aged man fixed his eyes on Chen Fan, immediately revealed a smile, and said in a loud voice: "Friend Chen, I didn't expect your trip to come so soon. Fortunately, my father's letter was delivered the day before yesterday, otherwise I'm afraid I'll miss the reception." Your arrival."
After finishing speaking, before Chen Fan could open his mouth, he continued: "I am the guard of the city, and my father is the owner of the Li family's auction house in Baihuang City. In the book, I was also instructed to receive you well."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!" Chen Fan nodded slightly.
After a brief exchange between the two, Chen Fan also knew the name of the middle-aged man, Li Baimin!
And he is also the guard of the city. To be honest, his official position is not high. His subordinates are only in charge of hundreds of Jindan stage soldiers. He can be regarded as a small leader. news-clever.
However, after taking Chen Fan to his Li Mansion, Li Baimin withdrew the soldiers who followed him, and only after he and Chen Fan were left, did he tell Chen Fan the bad news.
"Fellow Daoist came here by accident. The emperor ordered the closure of the country a year ago, prohibiting all monks from going out or entering with the teleportation array, because at this time the outside world is not peaceful, and there is a war going on. The emperor wants to prevent other powerful people from sneaking in. The imperial city is carrying out disasters." Li Baimin said in a low voice.
"There is a war outside the territory?" Chen Fan was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered the misty golden dragon he saw just now.
"Well, don't look at the state of Wu's stability now. In fact, war broke out outside the territory three years ago, but few people know about the closure of the country. Remember to keep it secret!" Li Baimin nodded and said.
Chen Fan frowned: "If so, when can we leave?"
Li Baimin shook his head, and said solemnly: "No one knows about this. It seems that this battle is not going well. It is said that many generals in the early stage of refining gods have fallen, and each of them is the overlord of one side. Such a battle to the death."
"What kind of supreme formula?" Chen Fan frowned again.
"Well, I remember that the name seems to be Burning Earth Jue. This was accidentally said by a general in the refining period before he set off for the expedition. I was seeing him off outside the city, so I just overheard it."
"Burning Earth Jue!" Chen Fan was startled when he heard the words, and the three characters "Burning Earth Chapter" immediately came to mind.
The bald bird once said that both the Burning Earth and the Burning Water chapters have been lost, and they have not appeared for thousands of years. After the news of the Burning Water Chapter appeared for the last time, he was snatched away by the bald bird. end.
Didn’t expect that he stumbled upon it now, and actually heard the news that might be related to the Burning Earth Pian in the country of Wu in Nanzhou, because the names were too close, only one word away, which made him feel moved.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you heard of this kind of formula?" Li Baimin was slightly taken aback.
Chen Fan came back to his senses, shook his head lightly and said, "I haven't heard of it, but the name of this formula reminds me of something."
Li Baimin nodded after hearing the words, and didn't pay much attention, then sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the attack on Wu State this time is far more than the enemy country, and there are many big sects and big families behind it." , some people say that even the Ninth Peak of Shu Mountain and the Hehuan Sect are involved."
After hearing the words, Chen Fan couldn't help but change his face.
"You mean, the Shu Mountain outside Wu State is only the ninth peak?" He asked in shock.
Li Baimin gave Chen Fan a strange look, nodded and said, "Don't you know, fellow Daoist Chen, there are nine peaks in Shushan, but they are scattered in four places. A small person like me has only heard of the ninth peak and the eighth peak." The location of the peak is unknown to other peaks.
And the Ninth Peak is located on a huge mountain range outside the Wu Kingdom. As for the Eighth Peak, it is said that it is on the top of a cliff several million miles away from the Wu Kingdom. There are countless strong people there. The power of the Nine Peaks is comparable to half of the Wu Kingdom, while the Eighth Peak is completely comparable to the entire Wu Kingdom. "
Hearing this, Chen Fan was shocked. He didn't expect Shushan to be so powerful in this world. No wonder the bald-haired bird didn't dare to brag too much when it was bragging in the world of cultivating immortals on Earth, and never listened to it despise The words of Dashu Mountain.
As for the Hehuan Sect, if Li Baimin could compare it with the Ninth Peak of Shu Mountain, he knew that this was a demon sect that should not be underestimated, and he couldn't help but think of the purple-haired woman in Baihuang City that day.
Originally she wanted to capture Chen Fan and join Huanzong, but after seeing him cast the Silkworm Seal, the purple-haired woman turned around and fled, never to appear again!
"If fellow Taoist doesn't dislike it, you can stay in Li's residence for a few days, and I will help you find out how to leave Wu country." Li Baimin said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li, can you also inquire about the Burning Earth Jue?" Chen Fan said after pondering for a few breaths.
Li Baimin's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he quickly lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you must be tempted by the Burning Earth Art. It is definitely not something we can intervene in that the earth art can attract so many powerful people, and it is very likely that we will die because of it."
"I know, I just want to know more information, someone will be interested." Chen Fan said ambiguously.
Li Baimin was startled for a moment, a look of hesitation flashed across his face, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said: "Since the person behind Daoist Chen is interested, then I will do my best, but There may be no news, because all the generals who know this formula have gone outside the territory, and the only people who know the news are probably the Emperor and some of the confidantes who stayed behind."
