Chapter 152 The magic weapon to return to the city
What surprised Tang Yue was that 500 casual cultivators and 500 disciples all went to the Sunset Forest this time. This mission was to test the disciples and collect Sunset Dusk Sand. I heard that it was necessary to collect enough for five years at once.
Weight. The city lord's palace also explained to the police that the reason for this action was that the danger of the Fire Demon was not easy to be eradicated, so Xuanyuan Mountain needed to refine more upgrade pills so that the disciples could advance to the next level as soon as possible and join the battle as soon as possible.
It all sounds grand, but when weird things happen together, it’s hard to think it’s an accident.
The day before departure, Zhao Tianming suddenly came to visit Tang Yue. After a few words of greeting, he took out something and handed it to Tang Yue, "This trip is prone to danger. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, please ask fellow Taoist Meng to help you."
Using this object can quickly teleport you back to Xuanjian City,"
Tang Yue took it and saw that it was a warm yellow jade with spiritual energy lingering on it. It was at least an earth-grade magic weapon, and it only had one function, which was to send people back to the city at a critical moment, and it could only be used once. Xuanjian City was too wealthy.
.
"City Lord, this operation is so dangerous? The cultivation level in the integration stage is also facing life and death, and it is necessary to teleport back to the city at the critical moment?"
If this matter is so dangerous, why did we let a thousand monks go? If they didn't get the precious jade token presented by the city lord, wouldn't they all die in the Sunset Forest?
The city lord laughed and said, "This is just my personal feelings towards fellow Taoist Meng. Going to the Sunset Forest is not so dangerous. In previous years, hundreds of monks would be sent into the forest in batches to mine sand, and everyone came out safely. We Xuanjian
The city has a good grasp of the situation in Sunset Forest, and nothing will happen."
"That's it. Thank you City Lord for your concern. I will definitely return safely this time and take good care of your daughter."
The city lord's expression changed slightly, "Aoxue has caused a lot of trouble to fellow Taoist Meng in recent days, and I ask for your forgiveness from fellow Taoist Meng."
Tang Yue waved his hand, "I mean what I said sincerely, not as a threat. The city lord has been so kind to me, so of course I have to repay you a favor or two."
The city lord breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had no other intentions and declined: "This operation is a trial opportunity. It is better for Aoxue to work hard on her own. She deserves whatever result she gets. Monk Meng does not have to
Take care of her."
"The city lord is indeed upright and upright, and he also thinks deeply about his daughter, which I admire."
What followed was a flurry of pleasantries. It was getting late, and the city lord couldn't stay for long, as it would easily lead to gossip.
"It's really strange. First he gave me a fast teleportation talisman, but then he didn't let me follow his daughter. It seems that this operation is a disaster." She called Meng Fu Rong, hoping that the other party could discuss the situation with her.
"He really cares about you and counts you as an exception. He doesn't want you to die in this operation." Meng Furong teased her.
"He is interested in you. I am using your appearance now. I am not so charming myself. Seriously, why did Xuanjian City let so many monks go into the woods?"
"Do you still remember that Kong Yingzong had a fire phoenix evil spirit? Its forehead pattern is different from ordinary phoenixes. It is a setting sun. That is the mark of a fire phoenix born from the setting sun."
"A phoenix lives in the sunset forest?"
"The Sunset Forest is at the edge of the space distortion. Occasionally, a few Sunset Fire Phoenixes will be born from the space there."
This makes it clear that Kong Yingzong got the Phoenix from Sunset Forest.
"So, the city lord recruited us people to feed the phoenix, but why did he help Kong Yingzong create evil spirits?"
"I don't know about this either. I will know when the time comes."
Tang Yue was very emotional, "There are indeed many sanctimonious hypocrites among the decent monks. City Lord Zhao always seems to take the world as his own responsibility, but secretly colludes with such evil ways as Kong Yingzong."
"What you say makes sense. The most treacherous and evil people are often not those who do evil things openly, but are decent people who use the name of justice to do insidious things. Such people are even more terrifying and difficult to guard against."
The two criticized her for a while, but they didn't expect that the two fused monks would visit her in the middle of the night and use the method of concealing their whereabouts.
Tang Yue let them in and asked, "I wonder what the important business of your late night visit is?"
Wu Pengcheng said, "We don't want to disturb fellow Taoist Meng late at night, but when we think about what will happen in Sunset Forest tomorrow, we really feel uneasy. We also heard that the city lord visited you tonight, so I want to ask you what the city lord told you.
I hope fellow Taoist Meng can be kind enough to tell us."
Zhan Yuan also spoke, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Meng, I used the sect's secret method, and even the elders guarding the city of Xuanjian City can't notice that the two of us are here."
Tang Yue nodded, "I believe in Brother Zhan Dao's ability. You two also feel that there is something fishy about the Sunset Forest mission, so why don't you come here to inquire?"
Seeing that Tang Yue wanted to inform him, Wu Pengcheng hurriedly replied: "That's right. We are here because of the generous rewards from Xuanjian City. We thought they would only accept more than a hundred people, but we didn't expect that there were actually five hundred people."
, this matter is really unusual, and I don’t believe that a large amount of upgrading pills are needed to eliminate demons.”
Zhan Yuan added, "The Flame Demon King is difficult to deal with. Xuanyuan Mountain can unite with the other two factions. There is no need to forcibly improve the cultivation of so many monks. Not everyone is suitable for upgrading with upgrading pills. Using too many pills will have a negative impact on the future."
It’s not good for your practice.”
"Your analysis is reasonable. The city lord came to me today and gave me something. When I am in danger, I can use this thing to quickly teleport back to Xuanjian City. I am also curious about what will happen in Sunset Forest.
The danger actually makes me, a monk in the integration stage, need to use the magic weapon to quickly return to the city."
The two male cultivators opposite were silent for a while, thinking that the city lord probably couldn't bear to part with this woman, so he gave such a magic weapon to return to the city. Doesn't that mean that everyone else is doomed to die?
Sweat broke out on Wu Pengcheng's head, "It's all because the two of us were greedy for the generous salary that this matter turned out to be so dangerous."
Tang Yue was curious, "You two should be able to leave here directly. We didn't write down any contract, so there shouldn't be any consequences if we leave."
Zhan Yuandao: "It's too late. We found that there were eight Fusion monks and two Dongxu monks who were going with us. They were already patrolling the courtyard tonight, obviously to prevent us people from escaping. The palace also opened a protective formation.
, no entry or exit is allowed, even my concealment method cannot deceive such a great formation."
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows. The city lord was so thorough in his work. He had already expected that someone would escape and activated the palace formation in advance.
"So, how can the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion and her daughter escape from such a disaster?"
Wu Pengcheng said: "We took a rough look at the monks who participated in the Sunset Forest test today. Only the city lord's daughter and two or three direct disciples were among them. The rest were all from the side line. Presumably a few of them are the same as Taoist Meng.
, got the special teleportation card given by the city lord, and stayed here to reassure us."
"In this case, the two fellow Taoists can follow Zhao Aoxue and other direct descendants tomorrow to see how they react when they are in trouble."
"That's all it can do now."
In the end, the three of them exchanged the secret method of sound transmission to facilitate communication in the forest, and thought of many countermeasures. All they had to do was enter the unknown trap the next day.
Tang Yue thought that maybe he could join forces with these two monks to deal with Kong Yingzong this time, so he told them about Kong Yingzong's evil methods.
The two people on the opposite side were silent for a while, and Wu Pengcheng said, "If Xuanjian City really uses us people as sacrifices, then the city lord will definitely make this situation worse in order to prevent him from escaping alive and exposing his crimes in front of the world.
It’s seamless.”
Zhan Yuan also said: "He will make this an accident."
