Although there is no change between day and night here, everyone still has an extremely accurate timetable in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xue had already invited Gu Zheng over and headed to the fourth floor together.
There is no need to gather to go to the fourth floor. There is a temporarily opened reception platform in every place to send them up.
At this time, Mrs. Xue changed out of the white dress that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and put on a layer of close-fitting armor. She looked handsome and handsome, and she could vaguely see her beauty back then.
“It seems you are ready.” Gu Zheng said with a smile.
“It’s nothing to be prepared. It’s just one more defense. I’m afraid of death.” Mrs. Xue smiled bitterly when she heard Gu Zheng’s praise.
“Has your child been settled?” Gu Zheng asked as he walked, seeing that Pan Xuan was not holding the little guy as usual.
"Miss Pan has already settled down. Wait until everything is over before we go to pick him up, otherwise it will be too dangerous to be outside." Mrs. Xue glanced at Pan Xuan and then said.
“Don’t worry, that place is guarded by a secret method. Even if you are discovered, you can still hold on for a day if you want to break through and face Da Luo’s peak.” Pan Xuan also explained to Gu Zheng, looking no different from before.
“Well, why don’t you go back and rest. If your condition can break through at any time and you can remain stable for two days, maybe you will be promoted directly.” Gu Zheng glanced at Pan Xuan and said with some worry.
"It's okay, I can break through at any time. I'm just doing this on purpose now. Maybe I can teach the enemy a lesson at the critical moment." Pan Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Zheng's concerned eyes, smiled slightly, and then said nonchalantly.
When Gu Zheng saw Pan Xuan's persistence, he didn't try to persuade him. However, he felt that Pan Xuan had a special feeling now. He seemed to be more alert than before, unlike before when he felt that there were some worries in his heart. It seemed that the other party had probably figured something out.
I was happy for her when I gave up my revenge.
When they rushed to the second floor, those subordinates who had stayed below on the second floor also rushed towards the fourth floor. There was only one passage, and it was even more crowded, and the sounds of cursing could be heard.
It went on and on, but no one stopped to argue with the other, they were all squeezing up, trying to find a more advantageous position.
When waiting for Gu Zheng to come out from inside, he found that a simple transparent shield had already been raised. The original four arenas were gone, replaced by a huge space recessed below, and early morning arenas were rising all around.
The simple seats we have prepared are enough to accommodate all the people, more than enough.
Some subordinates who arrived early are waiting outside, bragging to the people next to them about who is the most powerful, and arguing endlessly.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the top, specially arranged people came over and took them to a special viewing platform. Most of them were already waiting there, so they were late.
"Mrs. Xue, you are late." City Lord Bu said with a smile when he saw Mrs. Xue and his party.
"I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect that everyone was earlier than me." Mrs. Xue scanned the circle. Except for Ruochen, there was another person who hadn't arrived. The others had already arrived. She sat aside and said with a smile.
.
“Everyone is bored, I guess Leader Luo is coming soon.” Lord Bu said enthusiastically.
While Mrs. Xue was chatting with the other party, Gu Zheng also took a look around the surroundings and frowned when he saw the gladiator-like arena below. Although the space below was hundreds of feet in size, it was spacious enough.
But it still gives people the feeling of being watched, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
While observing, Ruochen and another person walked side by side towards this side. After looking at Shang Gu Zheng, they also nodded slightly, as if they were nodding to say hello to Mrs. Xue.
From the other party’s eyes, Gu Zheng felt that the other party was ready, but he just didn’t know how the other party could leave here quietly.
The two of them, along with more than a dozen of their subordinates, had just sat down when the Lord of Luo City flew over from a distance with his trusted assistant Wang Cheng.
“It seems that I came very early this time and was also late.” City Lord Luo looked at everyone and made a small joke. When he saw everyone laughing along with him, he also started to talk about business.
“Although this is only the early stage of the Golden Immortal battle, necessary measures are still in place. A detection protection has been set up below. Once you use more than that power, you will be kicked out automatically.”
The words of City Lord Luo are reasonable and reasonable. After all, they are in the nature of a discussion. The meaning behind it is to let the respective City Lords gain a little face in the end. However, this disappoints everyone in Guzheng, because in this case, the internal defense will not be activated, and kicking out will also alert the other party.
, just stop talking,
No one objected, and City Lord Luo naturally knew it, so he continued, "Everyone can only defend themselves in the middle stage of Golden Immortal. Even if you are fine, once you are attacked, I will watch from above and forcibly judge the outcome. Please
Please pay attention."
While the Lord of Luo City was talking about the rules, the shield below had also disappeared. Those subordinates rushed down to their respective high platforms one after another, occupying good positions, excitedly waiting for the start.
After all, the peace period has been too long, and everyone knows how powerful the opponent is, but they have never had the opportunity to see it. Even if there is gossip this time, due to the venue, they can only compete with the early stage of Jinxian cultivation, which makes them somewhat incompetent.
disappointment.
Even though the performance has dropped a lot, we can still get something out of it. Everyone can understand that it is an internal competition after all.
"If you don't have any objections, everyone will be ready to take the stage after half an hour. We are here to fight in pairs. We can be divided into eight groups, and the winner will be determined in one round. In this way, there will only be eight people in the second time. These eight people
Among them, after being drawn, they competed against each other three times, with two wins out of three. After two rounds, there are only four people left. Then each person fights the opponent twice, and the two with the highest wins are counted. Finally, in the decisive battle, what do you think.
"
“This way everyone can pay a little more attention to it.”
The Lord of Luo City simply stated the order of the battles. It was an unexpected child's play, just like a joke. The first battle ended quickly, but the second battle seemed a little ink, and there was obviously a delay.
However, no one objected. Instead, they all nodded in agreement with the proposal of the Lord of Luo City.
“Of course there are still rewards. The winners of the first round will all get a batch of high-quality black cores.”
Hearing this, no one else had any reaction. After all, a group of black cores really has a great symbolic meaning to them.
"The second batch of rewards is more precious. In order to reward everyone who fought bravely, I took out four more precious magic weapons. As for what they are, you will know after the rankings fall."
This time everyone was a little moved. There were actually four magic weapons. The precious magic weapons that the Lord of Luo City mentioned were probably not ordinary magic weapons.
However, everyone calmed down soon. Although their faces were excited, they understood in their hearts.
The rewards will be given out at the end anyway, and maybe they won’t last until the end, and new changes will occur.
“The reward for the final champion is this crystal core in my hand. Under certain conditions, I can find a way out of here.”
City Lord Luo took out a crystal core filled with bright silver light. It was covered with a transparent shield, and you could clearly feel that it was filled with space power.
"Of course, this effect is most suitable here. Once it is activated in the outside world, it can form a layer of space shield, which can escape from some special places, and even consume the power inside to escape directly." Luo City Lord explained with some regret.
.
It is true that this thing can only be called a real life-saving thing in the outside world, but it is basically useless here, but it is worthy of being the most precious magic weapon.
The crystal core immediately escaped from the hands of the Lord of Luo City and flew towards the sky. Finally, it slowly stopped in mid-air, like a bright star, which was very conspicuous in the air and attracted the attention of many people.
Even if many people don’t know what it is, they can still feel its dignity.
“Alright, let’s start the drawing of lots. Relax a little and treat it as an entertainment competition within our Soul Alliance. After the drawing is completed, I will offer a stick of incense to invite the first person to go down.” City Lord Luo said cheerfully from the side.
Sixteen black rays of light were flying in the air in an orderly manner, and as the city lords grabbed the black light one after another, small balls of different colors were revealed inside.
There are a total of eight colors, and the balls of the same color are the opponents in the first game, and the order of appearance has been filled in above.
“The third red!”
Mrs. Xue looked at the small ball in her hand, then looked to the side, and found that it was another city lord, who happened to be looking towards her, with the same small ball with the number three in red written on it.
The two smiled slightly, and then turned their heads away.
The other party is neither from this side nor that side, so it can only be described as a good or bad situation.
Gu Zheng removed his eyes from the small ball above and looked around, thinking about how much time it would take if everything was over.
Originally, there were four arenas, and it was estimated that it would be over in one day, but it seems that something happened to the demon souls outside, and they need to delay a little more time. For them, this is also good news.
Perhaps speaking, if the first place on your side is one of your own, you can find a way to ask for the first place reward from the other party. After all, for the people here, that thing is not as useful as the last place prize.
The former can only be used for personal appreciation, while the latter can be used to slightly reward his subordinates.
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and the first battle that everyone was looking forward to finally began.
There is a subordinate of the city lord who belongs to the Guzheng side, and another subordinate of the city lord, who is already standing below.
No matter how strong he was in the past, he has now restrained his aura. With only the early stage of Jinxian's cultivation, he began to prepare for the battle. In mid-air, Wang Cheng was suspended in the air and acted as a referee. After taking a look around, he ignored the messy surroundings.
There was a sound of discussion, and he spoke to the two people below.
"In the battle below, there are no other rules except what the leader said. If you lose, you can admit defeat at any time. There will be no winner for three hours, and I will decide the winner."
The two people below nodded to the top at the same time, and then looked at their opponent solemnly. Although they could only use this strength, in a certain way, it was enough to test the opponent's level.
This is the first time these two have fought against each other, but they have heard each other's names before. After all, being sent here also represents the face of their respective city lords. They are basically good players under their respective subordinates. Even if they lose, they cannot lose badly.
The two people didn't talk much nonsense and attacked each other almost at the same time.
While the people below were fighting, the people above were not idle either. Everyone took advantage of this opportunity to chat with the people around them. Judging from the atmosphere, everyone was harmonious and cordial. There was no previous conflict, and each other became a close group again.
, but no one can see through the little thoughts in each other's hearts, waiting for the opportunity that belongs here to come.
The subordinates who were watching below were also arguing passionately, because most of them had no idea what was happening above. They thought that the world would be balanced in the future, so they were naturally in the mood to look below, and occasionally blushed and argued with the people next to them, saying that their own family was the strongest.
.
Those few who know the inside story are following everyone in making noises, while at the same time paying attention to changes in the surroundings. Once they receive orders from their own city lord, they will start to panic and may kill a large number of these so-called "enemies" immediately.
Gu Zheng was also watching the battle below, but he felt it was a bit boring. Even though the two people below had perfectly used the strength that Jinxian could exert in the early stage, the restrictions of the venue and the rules really made them
People can't arouse much emotion. Watching the game below, it's better to listen to the conversations between the city lords and the snakes.
Everyone’s acting skills are very realistic. From the outside, no one knows their true inner thoughts, but Gu Zheng knows that they still have some advantages.
After all, everyone here is ready to go all out, and the other side at most knows that they are a little wary, that's all. As long as they involve them, when the demon spirits outside attack, it will be the end of these people.
The first battle ended not long after. The people here were taking advantage of a flaw to attract the opponent's risky attack, and narrowly won the first victory.
Amid the cheers from around him, the winner flew up with a smile on his face. He even slowed down strangely in the air and turned around in order to accept the shouts. After all, in the final adventure, he was almost killed by the opponent.
After being eliminated, it took a long time before he returned and stood beside his city lord with some pride, looking provocatively at the loser on the side.
On the other side, the loser looked depressed, like a mouse, escaping back from below quickly. Even his city lord was a little gloomy. After all, he lost, and he felt like he was inferior to others. He looked at the words coming from the side.
To be provocative, he just kept a dark face and started talking to people he knew.
“Okay, let’s prepare for the second game.”
The second game was between Ruochen and City Lord Fan's subordinates, which was quite close. Gu Zheng also looked over, wanting to see what the red-haired young man could do.
Ruochen's subordinate was a demon soul. When he came down, his whole body was covered with a layer of black mist, blocking outside visits. This made the red-haired young man not know what form he was under the black mist, but he
He knew that the body of the demon soul was sometimes ever-changing, but he was also proud of himself. When he waited for the start, he transformed into a weapon and rushed forward.
When the fighting started here, outside Leiyin Fortress, some plans that had been prepared for a long time began to be put into action.
In a city that has been temporarily abandoned, most of the people in it have been taken to the main city for refuge, but there are still a few people who guard the city. Their role is to maintain the city and not let some small people.
If there is an attack, they will also carry out the final actions according to the orders left by the city lord.
Surrender to the opponent.
In fact, they did it very thoroughly. After a group of unknown people came here, they surrendered very wisely. Regardless of the identity of the other party, they were imprisoned in the confinement aside. They were considered to be under house arrest. The entire city was taken over by them.
.
And they don't have any fear in their hearts. They have past experience. After all, even if the fighting between the soul alliances is fierce, they will not kill the imprisoned prisoners under normal circumstances. Moreover, they are not strong, and they are just for that reward.
If the city lord comes back one day, he can get an extra reward.
While they were still lying leisurely outside an open cell, those people dressed in black appeared outside them.
"Lord Soul, what should we do with these people?" A man standing on the side said to the man in black robe standing in front.
"These people?" Zhu Hun lifted up his robe and revealed his face. He looked at the tallest enemy who was only in the early stage of Golden Immortal with a trace of disdain on his lips.
“You can’t break the rules, otherwise you will be openly defying the Soul Alliance.”
There were leisurely prisoners inside, feeling something strange in the air. One of them also panicked and stood on the edge and said to Zhu Hun, trying to dispel the other person's dangerous thoughts.
"Stay, what's the use of these people? Even if they know our identities now, it's useless to run out. If we stay here until later, maybe the King of Heaven will be useful." After looking at it carefully for a while, Zhu Hun became cold.
He spoke.
Although his value was too low for the other party to look down upon, he still managed to save a life, which made the prisoner inside feel very happy. Fortunately, the other party still paid attention to the rules of the Soul Alliance, otherwise his death would have been in vain.
Just now they thought that the scale of the battle had escalated and that even these unspoken rules would be destroyed, which would make the sky and the earth inoperable for them.
"Lord Soul, there is news from over there. The elders of the Huan clan left with a small group of people to the east. There we found traces of the other party's battle, including some of our people and people from Gai Jin's side.
, all disappeared there! The initial suspicion is that Gai Jin led people to destroy what you asked to investigate before, and now there is only a huge pit left there."
On the way back to leave, one of the men in black robes hurried out and said to Zhu Hun.
"Are those strange people? I don't know where they come from. From the looks of those few people, I have indeed underestimated the other party. But it's okay if it's not the Soul Alliance or Gufeng who find out now. You can go over there and add some people to the side, and completely eliminate them.
They are surrounded by the other side."
“Notice it down, the whole army will advance, this time we will hit the opponent with one blow.”
"yes!"
Following Zhuhun's order, the team, which had been delayed for two days due to the disappearance of the Huan tribe, emerged from the abandoned cities one by one, and in some hidden underground places, one by one, they had already
The puppet, which had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time, began to roar and wake up.
A huge encirclement network surrounded Leiyin Puppet City.
