It's just that what the sect leader did this time was really outrageous, so his people spread more news.
"I heard that the people sent by the sect master killed the people in the branch outside. The sect master also directly pressed on the heads of those who were holding colorful lotus seeds. This is really..."
He shook his head, feeling that this sect leader was really hopeless.
You can do such a thing, just to make the old sect master angry. When did the people of Qitian Sect act so viciously?
In the past Qitian Sect, who would kill his own people?
Even if they still look down on people from different sects, at least they won't attack them with a butcher's knife.
But in the current Qitian Sect, people in this sect can kill their own people at will, and even report directly to the sect leader after killing someone, and the sect leader will give them reasons to make them even more arrogant.
"Second Elder, tell me, the current sect..."
"It's understandable that the sect leader would do anything if he wanted to get the colorful lotus seeds." The second elder poured a cup of tea for the seventeenth elder and said quietly.
"Tsk!"
The Seventeenth Elder clicked his tongue, truly speechless.
It's understandable, but he really doesn't agree with the sect leader's approach. With this approach, it's almost the same as those evil sects outside, right?
"It's understanding, understanding."
They can't do anything else now. Many elders, under the temptation of profit, have turned to the sect master, losing all their former benevolence, justice and morality.
What else could they do? They could only swallow their anger for the time being.
…
Three months later.
In a city far away from Yuyun City.
Qian Yizheng and others have been in this city for nearly three months. From walking around the outer city at the beginning to entering the inner city at the end, it was really difficult all the way.
"Hey, I thought that entering the inner city was just a matter of time. I could enter as long as I had time. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."
Sitting in the yard, Min Yi held a cup of tea in his hand, feeling extremely emotional.
It turns out that if you want to enter the inner city of a certain city in Zunshang Continent, you not only need time, but you also need fine stones. If you don't have fine stones, then you need strength.
Ordinary people really can't enter the inner city. For those who are weak, the inner city will not give them a place at all.
"Each person has one quota. We have a total of thirteen quotas. We spent 13 million essence stones. The essence stones in the inner city are so profitable, right?"
Who would have thought that just by simply entering the inner city, ordinary humans or elves would earn one million essence stones in a lifetime?
"I thought we already had enough essence stones, but I didn't expect that. Ahem."
An Yilu's face didn't look good either. Just entering the inner city of a certain city had so many essence stones. How many essence stones would they have to spend if they had to travel all over Zunshang Continent to find the life stones?
"You don't need that much."
Huan Lingfu's voice was a little soft. Their family of three spent three million essence stones, which they couldn't earn even if they didn't eat or drink for many years.
Moreover, after entering the inner city, the consumption was even greater. If the three of them had entered the inner city first, they would not have survived.
"Now that we have the inner city residence order of Ling Scorpion City, we only need to pay the basic entry fee to enter the inner cities of other cities in the future."
Hearing this, Qian Yinuo looked at him and curled his lips.
Although it is said so, it is still a lot. The basic fee for entering a city is only one hundred essence stones per person. Every city in the mainland looks like a robbery!
"I don't even understand. There are so many humans and elves on the continent, and it costs so much to enter the inner city. Do they not complain?"
Xingxing asked in confusion.
She almost quarreled with the soldier guarding the city gate just now. Why is this so expensive?
"How come there are no complaints?"
Phantom shrugged, who wouldn't complain about such a high fee?
Who hasn’t scolded any human or elf who tried to get in but couldn’t?
But so what? If you want to enter the inner city, you still have to take out the essence stone. Otherwise, you just can't get in, so you have to take out the essence stone.
"Have the city lord and the deputy city lord made a lot of money?" Min Yi said.
"That's not possible."
Huan Lingyan shook his head and denied Min Yi's words.
"I heard that all the fine stones handed over to the inner city are placed in specific places. The city lord and deputy city lord cannot be greedy for these fine stones."
"Yes, yes, it is said that each city's protective formation requires a lot of fine stones, whether for maintenance or activation. Therefore, those fine stones are used to maintain the city's protective formation."
Even Huan Lingshi told what he knew.
"Holy crap! That's awesome!"
Min Yi gave a thumbs up, admiring the formation formed by heaven and earth!
As far as they know now, that formation is really useless. Apart from being able to withstand the tide of beasts, it really has no other uses.
Zunshang Continent itself is powerful enough, and other races cannot invade Zunshang Continent.
Moreover, as there are more and more people with high cultivation levels in each city, there are also people who have lived for tens of thousands of years. With them guarding them, the beast tide is nothing to fear.
As far as he knew, the protective formations in every city on the continent had not been used for who knows how many years.
In such a situation, and with a large amount of fine stones being offered as offerings every day, this formation looks like a freeloader that can only get in but not get out.
"Is this the so-called raising troops for a lifetime and using them for a while?"
"There was a racial invasion in Zunshang Continent 30,000 years ago. If it weren't for the protective formation, Zunshang Continent would have been doomed by then."
The phantom returns.
This is also the reason why everyone clearly complained and did not want to hand over so many essence stones, but they still had to dig out the essence stones from their hands and hand them over.
Even if they have been raising the guardian formation, they may not be able to wait until the guardian formation is activated in their lifetime, but if one day, their descendants can use the guardian formation, then they will be willing to hand over so many essence stones.
Already.
"Furthermore, as far as I know, there are too many vortex passages to the planes on the Zunshang Continent. If the Zunshang Continent is invaded by aliens, those planes cannot be saved. In the final analysis, the Zunshang Continent is those places.
It’s just a protective barrier on the surface.”
Phantom said again.
If the continent of Zunshang is invaded by aliens, other planes cannot be saved either.
It's just that foreign races haven't invaded Zunshang Continent for many years. Many elves and humans have never experienced that scene, and naturally they have not connected themselves with the guardians of the plane.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about Qitian Sect."
