A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of Shuofeng City.
A detective horse walked directly into Shuofeng City carrying a red flag symbolizing an emergency.
Yan Zhenzhong was woken up by his servants in his sleep and sent the two concubines beside him to leave.
An aide came forward and whispered: "City Lord! Something happened!"
Yan Zhen was trembling in his heart, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.
"What happened?"
The staff member replied: "The Tan Ma who was monitoring Zhao Yan suddenly came back."
After a brief pause, he continued: "Carry the red flag!"
"Ss—!"
Yan Zhenzhong immediately understood that something big must have happened to Zhao Yan, otherwise Tan Ma would not have entered the market with great success.
Yan Zhenzhong asked urgently: "What happened?"
The staff member shook his head and said, "I can't explain in a few words. Tan Ma is waiting outside the door."
"Quick! Call him in quickly."
After a while, Tan Ma heard the news and came in.
"Scout Yingfeng Qi pays homage to the city lord."
Feng Qi looked exhausted, and the leather armor on his body was seriously damaged.
Yan Zhenzhong didn't care about anything else and immediately asked: "What happened?"
Feng Qi replied: "City Lord! A lot of outsiders suddenly came to Beifeng Icefield a few days ago!"
Yan Zhenzhong was shocked: "A foreigner?"
Feng Qi said: "Exactly! There are thousands of people.
And they are actually planning to build a city on the North Wind Icefield."
Yan Zhenzhong was surprised: "Building a city?"
He couldn't help but be surprised by this. The North Wind Icefield was an unobstructed frost plain.
Biting cold winds sweep across the ice sheet all year round, making it impossible for ordinary people to stay here for long.
Only a very small number of monsters are active in the depths of the ice sheet.
Apart from that, there is not even a stone as big as a fist, let alone the intention to build a city here.
Feng Qi nodded and said: "Four days ago, seven people and I were monitoring Zhao Yan, the charioteer of the Wheel-Winning Church, thirty miles away from the North Wind Icefield.
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yan and others suddenly left their residence.
I followed them all the way and found that Zhao Yan and others walked more than ten miles south before stopping."
Yan Zhenzhong handed Feng Qi tea and ordered his servants to prepare food.
Feng Qi thanked him and drank two pots of tea in a row before he felt relieved.
Then he said: "We waited for about half an hour, and then we saw more than 3,000 people coming from the south of the ice field.
These people wore the same black robes as Zhao Yan, and the leader was a beautiful woman."
Yan Zhenzhong asked: "How strong are these people?"
Feng Qi showed a strange expression.
"Except for a few practitioners, most of these people don't look like soldiers, but like ordinary people."
Yan Zhenzhong was stunned when he heard this.
How can this be?
What do ordinary people come to the Northland for?
He asked doubtfully: "Did you see clearly?"
Feng Qi nodded affirmatively: "This is what our team has confirmed together.
Although these people have good discipline and good spirits, they are definitely not trained."
Yan Zhenzhong thought for a moment and couldn't figure out why, so he put the matter in his mind for the time being.
"go on!"
Feng Qi said: "We have been monitoring for two days, and two more teams have arrived one after another."
Yan Zhenzhong took a slight breath.
"what happened?"
Feng Qi continued: "These two teams are the same as the previous team, with about three thousand people in each team.
After that, these people got together and started building a city in the [North Wind Icefield].
Looking at the scale of the city built by the Wheeling Church, there must be many more people coming."
Yan Zhenzhong pondered, thinking quickly about countermeasures.
With so many people coming to the Wheel-Winning Church, I am afraid that the people who come here are not good-natured.
The staff on the side stepped forward and whispered: "City Lord, remember what Zhao Yan said when he came to see the City Lord."
Yan Zhenzhong said casually: "What words?"
The staff member said: "I remember that Zhao Yan once said that he had 128 people from his sect who went down the mountain to preach together."
After being reminded by his staff, Yan Zhenzhong instantly remembered that Zhao Yan had indeed said such a thing.
His mind turned slightly, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
"You mean those who are here now are all Zhao Yan's fellow disciples?"
The staff member said solemnly: "I'm afraid so."
Yan Zhenzhong was silent for a moment and forced a smile.
"Even if he brings more than a hundred people from the same sect, they are just ordinary people. No matter how many people there are, what will happen!"
Having said that, Yan Zhenzhong understands.
Since the Church of the Wheel dares to gather so many ordinary people here, it must have something to rely on.
Feng Qi added: "It is estimated that more people from the Wheel-Winning Church will come, and the captain specially sent me back to report the news."
The staff suddenly interjected: "Has your whereabouts been exposed?"
Feng Qi hesitated and said, "I'm afraid they were discovered, but for some reason they didn't chase us away."
Yan Zhenzhong nodded and said: "You have worked hard these past two years, go down and rest first!"
Someone on the side took Feng Qi away.
The staff asked: "City Lord! What do you think the Wheel-turning Church means by doing this?"
Yan Zhenzhong sneered: "There are too many people coming to the Wheel-Winning Church, so we can't hide it.
Secondly, these people may have absolute confidence that they can defeat us, so they are not prepared to hide at all."
Yan Zhenzhong pondered: "According to their scale, they can only have at most 500,000 ordinary people.
Moreover, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. How did so many people come to the Northland?
Strange! Where do they get their confidence?
There must be something we have overlooked."
After a brief pause, he continued: "I want to go to the ice field to see the situation. You use the "Swift Wind" to send a message to [Midstream City]."
The staff bowed and took orders to leave.
Yan Zhenzhong left the attic and came to the balcony on the top floor.
He tightened the spirit fox cloak around his body, shook his body, and turned into a ball of strong wind and flew high into the sky.
This is his bloodline talent, he can turn into wind and fly as soon as he is born.
Shuofeng City is only a hundred miles away from the edge of the [North Wind Icefield].
An hour later, Yan Zhenzhong had already flown over the ice sheet.
When he looked down, the scene he least wanted to see finally appeared.
From far to near, there are dense ant-like crowds gathering in all four directions across the ice sheet.
Yan Zhenzhong made a general observation.
The number of people has exceeded 20,000, and obviously many more people have come in the past few days.
Moreover, he discovered that the people below were actually distributed with Shuofeng City as the center.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After observing for a moment, Yan Zhenzhong continued to fly inward.
Sure enough, as Feng Qi said, the Church of the Wheel really built a city in the [North Wind Icefield].
I don’t know what means the Wheel-Winning Church used, but in just a few days, the outer outline of the city was built.
The nine-foot-high city wall is thick enough to accommodate two carriages running parallel to each other.
At this moment, countless people are building various buildings in the city in an orderly manner.
Yan Zhenzhong was secretly surprised at what kind of speed this was.
Two days later, Yan Zhenzhong returned to Shuofeng City worriedly.
Instruct his staff to immediately convene various meeting halls in the city to discuss important matters.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, managers from various departments in Shuofeng City hurriedly entered the meeting hall.
Yan Zhenzhong saw that the people below had almost arrived.
He said directly: "We have gathered everyone here today because there is actually a major matter concerning the life and death of Shuofeng City that we need to discuss."
After a brief pause, he continued: "A few days ago, I came to report that there were a large number of demons from the Wheel-Winning Church gathering outside Shuofeng City.
I personally went to investigate and found out that there are nearly 50,000 people from the Wheel-Winning Church stationed here in [North Wind Icefield]."
Everyone in the hall was shocked. Tens of thousands of people suddenly came here. What are they doing?
They whispered to each other asking for their opinions.
General Zhao Yuanzhao asked: "Are the Wheel Church the same people who preached among the people in the past few years?"
Yan Zhenzhong nodded and said: "Exactly!"
Zhao Yuanzhao was shocked. Seven years ago, he was the one who led people to rob Zhao Yan and others on Yan Zhenzhong's order.
This time the Wheel-turning Church has gathered so many people, could it be that they are here to take revenge.
Another general, Pei Wudao: "What is the purpose of the Chakravartin Church here?"
Yan Zhenzhong said: “We don’t know what they are doing here yet.
But with so many people coming here without even saying hello, it's definitely not good for them.
Now, people from the Turning Wheel Church are still coming in a steady stream.
According to my observations and guesses, the final number of people arriving will probably exceed half a million."
Yan Zhenzhong continued: "Now that Shuofeng City is besieged on all sides, how do you think we should respond?"
Everyone discussed in low voices for a moment, and then one of the staff said:
"So many people from the Wheel-Winning Church will not come here for no reason. I am willing to go into the camp and have a look!"
His name is Yu Xianchun, and he has always been at the peak of his realm.
He is smart and decisive, and is a talent that Yan Zhenzhong is very fond of.
Yan Zhenzhong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine! You can take my book with you.
If something goes wrong, don't be reckless, returning safely is the most important thing."
After speaking, Yan Zhenzhong wrote the seal himself and stamped it with the seal of Shuofeng City.
Yu Xianchun left Shuofeng City with the urn of books and riding the Beifeng Moaning Beast.
At the speed of the Whimpering Beast, if nothing unexpected happens, the distance of a hundred miles can be returned in an hour.
After Yu Xianchun left, Zhao Yuanzhao asked in the meeting hall: "City Lord! Do we want to set up defenses?"
An aide said angrily: "As soon as Mr. Yu left, the city sent troops. Is it to put him to death?"
Zhao Yuanzhao's expression was stagnant, and he defended: "The enemy outside the city may attack at any time, and I also want to be safe."
Yan Zhenzhong shook his head and said, "Don't be too nervous. With the tens of thousands of people currently in the Chakravartin Church, how dare you invade our city so easily.
Being patient means making plans after your husband comes back."
Everyone in the meeting hall was talking a lot, speculating about the purpose of the Wheeling Church's coming here.
Yan Zhenzhong ignored the others and said to Zhao Yuanzhao: "Yuanzhao! Come with me."
Zhao Yuanzhao followed Yan Zhenzhong to a quiet room as ordered.
"Yuan Zhao! Do you think the Wheel-turning Cult is here because of Zhao Yan's affairs?"
Zhao Yuanzhao thought for a moment and said hesitantly:
"Probably not! The Chakravartin Church would never be so unwise to mobilize so many people just for a few people."
Yan Zhenzhong also suspected the same thing, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of the Chakravartin Church and he still felt uneasy.
He hesitated and said, "How about you go back to Zhongliu City and stay for a while?"
Zhao Yuanzhao's face turned red: "If you don't go! You may die! How can a dignified seven-foot man escape without a fight?"
He understood that this was Yan Zhenzhong's good intention, but Zhao Yuanzhao would never accept it.
