Xia Qiuchan looked confused and was about to say something.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zheng Zhi: "This sword art inheritance does not belong to me, and I can't give you much guidance on your practice. You need to understand more by yourself."
This is said with composure.
His face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was not shy at all.
What else to do?
Is it possible to directly tell Xia Qiuchan that she knows nothing about the art of swordsmanship?
How embarrassing that is!
Zheng Zhi, who attaches great importance to face, obviously cannot do it.
Hearing this, Xia Qiuchan felt a little disappointed.
But as she admired Zheng Zhi to the extreme, she obviously would not think of the worst.
He nodded, looking deeply concerned.
After leaving Jilei Mountain, the two continued their journey.
After passing through a vast mountain range, what comes into view is a huge city that can be called "magnificent".
Blood City!
The capital of the Blood Hades Empire!
It is also known as the first city in Xue Ming Tian by the world!
The majestic giant city is like an ancient network, coiling over the vast land.
Just like the rolling mountains, there is no end as far as the eye can see.
The night has just faded and the sun has not yet risen.
The blood was already flowing and there was a lot of people shouting.
Countless outsiders rushed toward the giant city like a meteor shower, and then stopped at the city gate.
This is a holy land of cultivation that all monks in the world yearn for, and it is also a place of pursuit for countless ambitious young people.
I don’t know how many young monks entered the Blood City with passion and ambition, hoping to accomplish some amazing feats and stand out.
Some people succeed, become famous, and bring glory to their ancestors.
Some people fail, disappear in the crowd, and have no name.
"Is this the heart of the empire?"
Zheng Zhi looked at the majestic building in front of him and suddenly felt insignificant.
Standing outside the city and looking at the city scenery, he was like an ant under the feet of an elephant.
In comparison, the city walls we saw in the past were all a bit unsightly, like clouds and mud.
"It is said that Blood City has a radius of 100,000 feet, a city height of 3,000 feet, and an area as vast as a country. Ordinary people cannot reach the end even if they walk for three days and three nights."
Xia Qiuchan looked shocked and whispered: "I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that what I saw was actually more exaggerated than the rumors..."
Having come from Xiao Dong Lin, she had never seen such a grand scene before?
"It is reasonable for the capital of an empire that rules a region of the world to have such an imposing manner."
After being briefly shocked, Zheng Zhi came to his senses.
This blood city can indeed be called a fairyland on earth.
Moreover, his eyesight is unparalleled, and he can see some clues from this splendid building.
In this blood city, there are not only numerous spirit gathering formations, but also various killing formations, defensive formations, and hidden formations...
Every huge stone that piled up the city wall was refined by secret methods and covered with formations and patterns.
One of the formations was quite secretive, but Zheng Zhi was able to detect a trace of it.
And just the hint of exposure made him feel a sense of crisis.
It can be seen that behind this prosperous blood city, there are also many means to maintain prosperity...
"Go in and have a look. The scene there should be even more beautiful."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly and walked slowly forward.
Xia Qiuchan nodded, full of expectations.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the power of this city.
That invisible force can affect people's state of mind invisibly.
Flying is prohibited within the Blood City.
Even if you are as powerful as the Star Realm, you don't dare to ignore the rules.
Otherwise, in the eyes of the imperial royal family, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Xue Ming royal family, and they will definitely be attacked and killed by the strong defenders.
"Many strong men..."
Xia Qiuchan exclaimed in surprise.
Near the city gate, densely packed figures were seen walking back and forth, like crucian carp crossing a river.
Men and women, young and old, most of them are monks, and they are basically above the level of pregnancy spirit.
And, humans aren’t the only ones among them!
Among the crowd, there are many demon cultivators, evil cultivators, Buddhist cultivators...
Although it is only a small part, it also shows the prosperity of this blood city and its tolerance for the monks in the world.
Of course, there are no ghost cultivators!
The ban on ghosts was issued by the royal family, and ghost cultivators are still punished by the whole world to this day.
Xia Qiuchan was already dazzled by what she saw.
But Zheng Zhi is quite rational. Compared with these superficial prosperity, his attention is more on the city wall.
When I looked at it from a distance before, I could only see something extraordinary about this city wall.
But now, we can see more and deeper things within a short distance.
Soul thoughts invade and feel the hidden killing array.
After a moment, he withdrew his soul thought and said thoughtfully: "I have heard for a long time that there is a great formation to protect the country in the Blood City. The lower part can press the dragon's veins, the upper part can draw the power of the sky, and it can easily kill the strongest person in the Silver Moon Realm.
.”
Silver Moon Realm, the supreme power above the stars.
A strong person in this realm can be regarded as someone standing at the top of the pyramid in Xue Ming Tian.
It has a long lifespan with no end in sight, and is so powerful that it can destroy an entire force with just a few clicks.
There are nine turns in the star realm.
After nine turns, there is the Silver Moon.
But now Zheng Zhi is at the level of the Nine Transformations of the Stars.
Zheng Zhi once heard Xia Qiuchan tell rumors about the Blood City.
Among them is the famous but never seen National Defense Formation.
This formation is the life-long effort of the ancient formation master Yu Wenlong.
It is also one of the ultimate trump cards of the Blood Hades Empire.
It can be said that the Xue Ming Empire has been able to stand in Xue Ming Tian for many years and frighten the forces in the world. This national defense formation is indispensable.
At the beginning of the period, Zheng Zhi was still a little skeptical about this rumor.
But when I felt the hidden aura of the formation, the doubts in my heart faded a lot.
You can even say sure!
"It's a pity that so many years of time have made this formation live up to its former power..."
Zheng Zhi shook his head and sighed softly.
He had to lament that time is ruthless.
Under the influence of time, any amazing work will become ineffective.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the power of this national defense formation has been worn away too much.
Although it can still burst out with extremely strong power, it is ultimately limited and cannot live up to its previous power.
Although, Zheng Zhi is not particularly knowledgeable about formations.
The only understanding I have comes from the teachings of the mysterious woman.
But with just some knowledge imparted by the mysterious woman, Zheng Zhi was able to stand out among the heroes in the formation.
He can even be confident that if he sets up the mysterious formation by himself, even though he won't be able to create a world-shattering formation, it will not be much inferior to ordinary formation masters.
"With the background of the Blood Underworld Empire, it is impossible that we have not discovered this. We have not taken any action yet. I think it is because we have not found a method and a Xuan Formation Master with the strength to repair the formation..."
Zheng Zhi thought to himself.
This is understandable, after all, it is too difficult to repair this ancient formation.
In today's East Continent, although the martial arts civilization is much more prosperous than in the southern border, those who have the ability to repair large formations are probably very rare.
And these rare and rare people are all reclusive masters who cannot escape from the world.
Although the Xue Ming Empire rules Xue Ming Tian, it is still very difficult to find them.
Moreover, even if you find it, it is extremely difficult to get help from others.
After all, those with this ability are those who have reached heavenly cultivation and are not afraid of the imperial power at all.
"This young master, could it be that he saw something?"
And just as Zheng Zhi's thoughts were beating, a pleasant sound suddenly came to his ears.
Zheng Zhi turned his head subconsciously, and what caught his eye was a pretty face.
The alluring appearance made Zheng Zhi lose his mind for a moment.
A red face is like a blooming lotus, and a plain skin is like gelatin!
Dressed in blue, she looks simple and clean, like a snow lotus.
Next to the girl, there was a middle-aged man.
This person is clothed in plain cloth, has long black hair, and has clear facial features.
Standing with his hands behind his back, his temperament is elegant, and he obviously looks like an unusual person, like someone who has read a lot of poetry and books.
The calmness that is revealed invisibly is obviously something that can only be acquired by staying in a high position for a long time.
However, judging from his movements and demeanor, it is obvious that he is just a follower-like character.
It can be seen from this that the identity of the woman in blue must be extraordinary.
Zheng Zhi's heart moved and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, he did not lose his composure. After being stunned for a while, he returned to normal and said with a smile: "Why do you see me, girl?"
The woman in blue was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little surprised that Zheng Zhi could return to normal so quickly.
She smiled and said: "I saw that the young master was surprised when he arrived at the Blood City. It was obviously his first time here and he had been staring at the city wall, so I guessed from this."
At this time, Xia Qiuchan, who was silent in the bustling city of blood, saw a stranger chatting with her.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, his pretty face couldn't help showing a look of caution.
But it wasn't that this girl was so alert, but that the woman she suddenly chatted with was too beautiful.
It is instinctive to do this out of resistance to the opposite sex.
"The girl is indeed thoughtful, but..."
Zheng Zhi said, his tone paused.
Then, he glanced around at the dense crowd of people and said with a smile: "But it's not a good idea for me to explain this secret to you, right?"
"That young master means..."
The girl in blue's beautiful eyes moved, but she stopped talking.
Zheng Zhi straightened his chest and said with a smile: "I ask myself if I am considered a handsome man, and a handsome man and a beautiful woman, in front of flowers and under the moon, do I have a different scenery?"
These words were blatantly provocative.
Girl in blue: "..."
The middle-aged man beside him had a cold look in his eyes, as if he was about to get angry.
However, no woman in blue raised her hand to stop him.
When the girl heard the voice, not only was she not angry, but her red lips slightly raised.
She seemed to be intrigued by Zheng Zhi's unusual behavior, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a unique scenery."
This scene made the middle-aged man on the side stunned.
Obviously, this was also the first time he saw the woman in blue showing such a posture.
Thinking of the woman in blue's usual personality and temper, his heart was greatly shocked.
"I'm waiting for the girl in the city."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly and said no more.
Then, he took Xia Qiuchan into the city and disappeared into the sea of people.
"Miss, this..."
The middle-aged man looked angry.
"It doesn't matter."
The woman in blue waved her hand.
Looking at the direction Zheng Zhi was leaving, the interest in her beautiful eyes did not dim at all.
On the contrary, as Zheng Zhi left, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
And just as she was laughing, she suddenly froze.
A laughter like the spring breeze reached her ears through sound transmission: "The national defense formation is indeed extraordinary, but it's just that he is now an old man, very old..."
