Chapter 350: Closing the City
After leaving the Tianxing Tower, Han Li, like other monks, walked along Baishi Square toward a nearby street, and soon merged into the surrounding crowd.
Heifeng City is the most prosperous place in the Black Wind Sea, and this place is also the most prosperous place in Heifeng City. He still has some impression of the shops and buildings on both sides of the street.
This place is basically the same as in the past, with a few of the most bustling streets, with several extremely luxurious and atmospheric shops. These shops are also very good business, and many monks come in and out, and they can't stop for a moment.
Han Li casually walked into a nearby street.
Most of the shops in this street are material shops. He looked back at Tianxing Tower and walked through a shop.
The shop is not large in size and there are not many customers in the store. When a friend saw Han Li come in, he immediately welcomed him enthusiastically.
"What materials do you need, this guest official?"
Han Li talked casually with his friend, but his eyes were always looking at Tianxing Tower Square.
Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the square.
Han Li frowned slightly.
At this moment, a group of monks emerged from a remote corner of the square.
One of them was the hunchbacked old woman, and the few people behind were the white-clothed monks. The middle-aged man with sword-browed eyebrows was in the line, just walking at the end of the group.
The few people did not stay there, and immediately flew up and flew in one direction, disappearing into the distant sky in a blink of an eye.
Han Li's heart moved and thought to himself.
If he remembers correctly, that direction is the location of the Island Prince's Mansion.
After buying a few materials at will, he left the shop and looked in the direction of the group flying, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Then Han Li shook his head and turned around and walked in the other direction.
No matter what these people have to do with the Black Wind Island Lord, what they are planning should have nothing to do with him. Since that is the case, it is better not to cause trouble for yourself.
Han Li walked forward along the street and passed through several streets. When his figure came out of a secluded alley, his appearance changed again, turning into the appearance of a yellow-faced man.
It is easy to transform his appearance into a mask of the Impermanence Alliance. As he passes a place along the way, he will change his appearance to dress up in a new way just in case.
In the following time, he wandered around in the Heifeng City and made up for all the things he still lacked on him.
Perhaps because the Black Wind Sea is more frequent than before, the city is indeed much more prosperous than before, and various spiritual materials, elixirs and other substances that are rare in the past have also begun to appear in various shops.
Half a day later, Han Li rose into the air, turned into a green rainbow, and flew towards the distance.
A moment later, he fell in the square in front of the island palace.
At a glance, there was not much change here than before. However, the island palace was covered with layers of bans, and various colors of light flashed. Some monks were patrolling nearby, which was much more martial law than before.
Han Li did not stay there for a long time and walked into the Fuxin Hall next to him, which was undertaking the mission.
There were many monks gathered in the hall, much more than before, and the stone walls of the mission still stood here, with various tasks written on it, which was also more than before.
Compared with the previous one, the content of the mission has also changed a lot, including many tasks to defend against the enemy and garrison, all for fighting against Qingyu Island.
There is even a task that directly offers a reward, hunting and killing Qingyu Island monks, and each hunting one will be rewarded accordingly.
Han Li quickly browsed the stone wall and quickly read all the tasks above.
There was no information about him on the stone wall, and there was no mention of Zhulongdao.
Seeing this, Han Li still couldn't feel completely relieved.
He wandered around the hall twice, found several monks who were watching the mission and asked indirectly, and confirmed that there was indeed no sign of the Immortal Palace chasing him recently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before leaving, in order not to attract attention, he took on a random task of collecting materials from some kind of monster.
After walking out of Fuxin Hall, Han Li turned around and looked at the island palace, then turned into a blue light and flew towards the city gate.
As a result, he had just flew to the middle of the way and a sudden change occurred!
A dull roar suddenly came from all directions of the island, mixed with loud noises.
Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped the escape light and looked around.
I saw blue light columns appearing around the Heifeng City, soaring into the sky, like a fence, covering the entire Heifeng City.
A powerful fluctuation of power emanated from the light column, and the void trembled.
Circles of water rays emanated from the blue light columns. These originally straight light columns were bent quickly and gathered towards the middle, and soon merged together, and the light columns were also connected one after another.
In a moment, a thick blue light curtain emerged, wrapping the entire city inside.
Countless water-like lights flowing on the light curtain, layer by layer, you can tell that it is an extremely exquisite magic array at a glance.
Han Li frowned slightly, after a moment of contemplation, he continued to fly forward with a urge to escape, and soon arrived at the city gate.
There were many people gathered here, and all kinds of voices were intertwined, making them extremely noisy.
Han Li fell quietly at the edge of the crowd and merged into the crowd.
At this moment, the monks at the forefront of the crowd said to the city guard wearing black robe:
"What's going on? Why did the city moat suddenly open?"
"We have something important to wait to leave the city. Can some fellow Taoists make it convenient?"
"Everyone, the Lord of Lu ordered the opening of the city-shackle formation because he received the news that the people from Qingyu Island intended to sneak attack my Heifeng City. Just in case, the formation was activated. Just eliminate the enemy situation and the formation will be immediately cancelled." The leader of the guard bowed his hand and said to everyone.
Han Li stood aside and was a little surprised when he heard this.
Although he had learned that the conflict between Heifeng Island and Qingyu Island was becoming increasingly fierce, he did not expect that he had reached the point of opening the city-sharing formation.
Moreover, looking at the reactions of everyone around, it seems that he is not too surprised by the explanation of the guard leader.
"Fellow Taoist, is the city-sharing formation here often opened?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked an old man in red robe beside him.
When the old man in red robe heard this, he glanced at Han Li in surprise and said, "Are you a monk from Heifeng City?"
"I have just arrived at Heifeng Island in the teleportation array. I am not familiar with many of the situations here. Please give me some advice." Han Li chuckled and said politely.
"Oh, no wonder. The battle between Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island has become increasingly fierce over the years. Although Black Wind City is the base camp of Black Wind Island, it is not very safe. Over the years, the city-mopping array has indeed been opened many times." The old man in red robe nodded first and then said.
"Oh, then I don't know what the battle between the two sides is. Which side has the upper hand?" Han Li paused for a moment and continued to ask.
"The overall strength of Black Wind Island was originally stronger than Qingyu Island, but Qingyu Island has won many peripheral islands over the years and has greatly increased its strength. It has been able to compete with Black Wind Island. Alas, I don't know when this battle will end." The old man in red robe said with a sigh.
Han Li nodded slowly, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
While everyone was buzzing, a middle-aged black-faced man with a cultivation level of Mahayana came out and asked loudly: "I dare to ask you, when will the formation be cancelled? You can't let so many of us wait endlessly."
"It turns out that he is the leader of the Tai. I am not sure about the specific situation. Maybe two or three days... or ten or half a month. If there is a special situation, I urgently need to leave Heifeng City, I can go to the Island Prince's Mansion to ask for the Lord of the Island. We will never stop the order given by him." The guard leader glanced at the man and said.
When the black-faced middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, he didn't say anything else.
Although everyone was a little reluctant, they obviously did not dare to offend the people of the Island Prince's Mansion. As for going to the Island Prince's Mansion to apply for a city order, naturally no one was so anxious that they wanted to do this.
After a while of discussion, the monks gathered at the city gate soon dispersed.
Han Li frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
It seems that he is not very lucky. If he had set out in a while, he might have been out of the city smoothly at this moment.
He looked at the blue light curtain in the air, said goodbye to the old man in red robe beside him, then turned around and turned back to the way he came.
Although the opening of the city-mopping formation caused a commotion in the city, it quickly calmed down. After all, this situation had happened many times. Although everyone was a little slandered, after complaining for a few words, they continued to do their own things.
Soon, Han Li found an inn in a remote place in Heifeng City and stayed in a closed-door place.
Time passed little by little, and night fell soon.
In the secret room, Han Li, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, waved his hand, and more than a dozen green lights flew out, landing everywhere in the room, opening a ban.
Then, he made a gesture in his hand, and golden lightning appeared around him, spreading towards the surroundings, and soon condensed into a golden thunder array.
"Telection!"
He waved his fingers, and the lightning magic circle suddenly lit up. His figure blurred and disappeared from the magic circle immediately.
Some remaining golden lightning roared in the room for a few times and disappeared completely.
At the same time, deep underground in the Island Prince's Mansion, there is a secret room.
The light here is dim, and the black light around it surges up and down like waves.
In the center of the secret room is a huge blue jade platform, with a blue array flag floating above it, densely packed with at least tens of thousands.
The dazzling blue light emanated from these array flags and condensed into a hemispherical blue light curtain, covering the blue jade platform below.
