When Zhang Hai returned to Baiyan City, the first thing he did was to share his secrets with Hou Yan.
"Brother Hou, let me tell you a secret, but you must never tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, I'm notoriously tight-lipped. If you tell me your secret, I will never tell anyone else." Hou Yan promised.
"Okay, come over here and I'll tell you secretly."
Hou Yan leaned his head over and Zhang Hai whispered: "In three days, the ghost city will appear near Yufeng Pavilion. Then we can go to the ghost city to look for treasures. Moreover, the reason why the ghost city appears randomly is because there is a place in the center of the ghost city.
A sacred stone of time and space.”
Hou Yan was very surprised.
He once again promised Zhang Hai that he would never reveal it. In a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but revealed it while drinking with the Hou family guards.
"Everyone, let me tell you a secret. You must remember it and don't tell anyone!" Hou Yan warned.
The guards vowed: "Young Master Hou, don't worry, our group is notoriously tight-lipped!"
"You know ghost towns, right?"
"of course I know."
"I heard that there is a time and space bead in the ghost city. This bead is incredible. It is a rare artifact that is rare in thousands of years. As long as you have it, you can reverse time and space at will!"
"In addition to this divine bead, there are countless treasures in the ghost city. I heard that at the end of the ghost city, there is an immortal ruins, where Emperor Xuxian is buried..."
Hou Yan was talking nonsense while drinking. Some of his guards couldn't hide the news, and they would spread it out without warning, spreading it to ten, and then spreading it to hundreds. Within two days, the entire Baiyan City knew about the ghost city. Three days later
News that will appear in Yufeng Pavilion.
Not only that, there are different versions of the stories. Some say that the bones of real immortals are hidden in the ghost city, others say that there are monsters that swallow the sky in the ghost city, and the most outrageous one is that there is a staircase leading to the sky in the ghost city.
As long as a person climbs up there, he can attain enlightenment and become an immortal...
After Daochang heard the news, he regretted very much. He should not have told Zhang Hai.
Qianyu is also helpless. In one day, it is estimated that all the forces in the Southern Wilderness will know about this. Once Tianxuan Sect joins, other small forces will have to step aside, and there will be no room for Dao Chang and Qianyu to intervene.
Zhang Hai was also helpless. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. He was really tight-lipped. Who would have thought that Hou Yan would leak the news. The fault was all on Hou Yan.
Hou Yan also felt that he was wronged and his guards should be blamed. He had promised to keep it secret, so how could he spread it everywhere?
"Now that the matter is over, let's think about rescue measures." This time, Daochang found Qianyu alone and avoided Zhang Hai.
Qianyu also had a headache. The appearance of the ghost town had already caused uproar in the city, and it was difficult for him to intervene.
"It is estimated that the Shenfeng Clan and the Stone Clan will also take action. The Tianxuan Sect will definitely not miss this opportunity. As for the other small forces, just watch. It would be good if they can pick up some leftovers." Daochang
Said pessimistically.
"With multiple forces competing for the same area, there will definitely be a scuffle. This is our opportunity." Qianyu saw hope.
Daochang understood what he meant: "You mean, when they start fighting and there is chaos, we can take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it?"
"This is what we call playing by ear."
"Not bad, not bad, act according to circumstances, haha, you are worthy of Master Qian." Daochang smiled happily.
Three days later, wherever there were people in the Southern Wasteland, everyone knew that a ghost town would appear in Yufeng Pavilion. All forces were ready to make a move and began to appear near Yufeng Pavilion to survey the terrain and prepare to squat in advance.
The strange thing is that forces such as Tianxuan Sect and Yufeng Pavilion did not rush to send people over. On the contrary, other small forces, such as Baiyan City, sent a large number of people to wait near Yufeng Pavilion during the day.
, at a glance, it was dark and crowded with at least a thousand people.
Daochang brought Qianyu to this place. The Yufeng Pavilion was really built in the middle of a storm. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, let alone go in for a visit. The area around the Yufeng Pavilion was an endless desert, and with the scorching sun,
Qianyu was immediately soaked to the skin, and his skin was sore from the sun.
"Look at those people, who are obviously not very good at cultivation. Why are they so brave and dare to try their luck in the ghost town?" Qianyu expressed curiosity.
Dao Chang said with a smile: "It is precisely because their cultivation is low and they do not have a clear understanding of the world. They think they can fish in troubled waters, but they don't know that most of them are here to be cannon fodder."
"You mean, most of them will die here?"
"That's right." Daochang looked at the group of people with narrowed eyes and said: "The ghost city is so dangerous that even I dare not break into it easily, but if you look at them, most of them are in the Yuanyang realm.
They were all in high spirits, their eyes full of desire for treasures, dreaming of grabbing a few treasures when the ghost town appeared tonight, and from then on they would become famous and go further and further on the road to immortality. In fact, these were just their fantasies.
"
"How do you know so well?"
"Because I used to be such a person. Even though I had no ability, I always dreamed that a story of soaring to the sky would happen to me. As a result, not only did I not soar to the sky, but I fell to the bottom and was unable to recover. If I hadn't gritted my teeth and persisted until the end
, Sigh... I won’t talk anymore, a handful of bitter tears..." Daochang showed bitterness on his face and stopped continuing the topic.
The two of them waited until nightfall, when a full moon rose in the night sky, and the cold moonlight shone on the vast sandy ground, giving off a gleaming light.
There were more and more people. Qianyu scanned around and estimated that there were five or six thousand people. Hou Yan and Zhang Hai also came. Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Zhihui did not go out. They had the Flame God Bead and were not very interested in the ghost city.
"Brother Qian, we will follow you tonight." Zhang Hai ran over with a smile.
"Why?"
"Brother Qian's cultivation is profound and unpredictable. I feel very safe following you." Zhang Hai said.
"You don't feel safe with me?" Hou Yan was jealous.
"Haha, what are you talking about? Brother Hou, we have one more person, more strength, and we can take care of each other." Zhang Hai joked.
Hou Yan just glanced at Qianyu and said nothing.
At this time, three figures flew over from mid-air. They each rode the wind. Their white robes looked crisp and neat, like fairies riding on the wind.
"Those three are people from Yufeng Pavilion. The old man in the middle is at the peak of Taiyi Realm, and his name is Feng Chen. The beauty on the left of the old man is named Feng Ling'er. She is ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Ranking, and her cultivation is in the early stage of Taiyi Realm.
.The young man on the right of the old man is called Feng Shu, ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, and in the late Taiyi realm." Daochang introduced the people in Yufeng Pavilion as if they were treasures.
"The combined strength of the three of them is probably the best among the five or six thousand people." Qianyu sighed.
"So Pindao said that those people are just here to be cannon fodder. Their cultivation is not enough and their curiosity is so strong. If they don't die, who will die?" Daochang said coldly.
After the three Feng Chen people from Yufeng Pavilion appeared, they didn't say a word and waited quietly in mid-air. They ignored the noisy crowd below. That group of people didn't deserve their attention.
"call out!"
At this time, a big sword flashed across the sky like a meteor, and an old man came with a sword and appeared under the moonlight. Along with him, there were two disciples, a man and a woman, wearing uniform blue and white uniforms.
His clothes were embroidered with a fiery red sword.
"The people from Tianxuan Sect have arrived."
Everyone looked up at the three people from the Tianxuan Sect. The three of them had a cold temperament and said nothing. They did not pay attention to the people below them at all. As the strongest force in the Southern Wilderness, the Tianxuan Sect can enter it.
They are all geniuses among geniuses. These people are far superior to ordinary people in terms of cultivation and thinking, and they disdain communication with ordinary people.
"The people of Tianxuan Sect are still as arrogant as ever, but they do have the capital." Dao Chang commented. "The old man in the middle is named Liu Qing, who is at the pinnacle of Taiyi Realm. The two disciples following him are named Shangguan Yan.
, in the late Taiyi realm, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking. The man’s name is Shi Yang, in the late Taiyi realm, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking.”
"grumble!"
A sudden phoenix cry once again caught everyone's attention. Everyone immediately looked up. Under the moonlight, a divine phoenix wrapped in flames appeared, majestic and domineering.
There is a person standing on the sacred phoenix.
This person is a middle-aged man, with long fiery red hair fluttering in the wind, an arrogant expression, and a noble temperament, dressed in rich brocade clothes.
"Good fellow, Shangguan Yu from the Shenfeng Clan is here too."
"You know him?"
"I met him once. He probably came here to protect Shangguan Yan, who is his daughter."
"Isn't that Shi Yang from the Stone Clan?" Qianyu guessed.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right."
"Dong dong dong!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a tall and muscular man with a sinewy face carrying a huge boulder. As he walked, the ground was shaking. The boulder weighed five to six hundred kilograms, and he easily carried it on his shoulders with a smile on his face.
smile.
"This person's name is Shi Hao, he is at the pinnacle of the Taiyi Realm, and Shi Yang is his nephew." Daochang introduced.
"How come you know everything?"
"Hey, Lingxiao City's tracking skills are the best in the world. As long as we want to track it, no matter who it is, we can do it in one day." Daochang said with a boastful smile.
Qianyu glanced at the crowd and said, "Why don't you see people from Liuli City, Lingxiao City and Golden Bell Tower?"
"There are only weak women in Liulicheng, how can they be strong?" Daochang said nonchalantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two beautiful figures walking towards them. Qianyu recognized them as Mu Xuan and Mu Wan.
"Zhang Hai, we meet again." Mu Wan greeted Qianyu.
"Yes, we are really destined." Qianyu did not correct what they called him, "You two also came here for the ghost town?"
Mu Wan smiled and said: "We are just here to have a look, not go in. Let Xuanxuan watch more actual battles and learn from the battle experience."
Qianyu nodded, and Mu Wan and the others found a suitable place to watch the battle and waited silently.
"I didn't expect them to come too," Daochang said.
"Don't underestimate me. Although she is a woman, her cultivation level is not much different from ours." Qianyu warned.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Daochang didn't want to argue with Qianyu about this. "Lingxiao City is full of Taoists, and they have no interest in this kind of treasure. The Golden Bell Tower is full of monks. Let them come here to hunt for treasures.
Why not let them ring the bell and chant sutras, chanting sutras will be more attractive."
"You are also a Taoist priest from Lingxiao City, why are you so interested?"
"I...I was expelled from the school. I and them are...we are different from each other. They are too stubborn and stick to the rules. Do you understand? I am more open-minded and my brain is more flexible than theirs. Those rules and regulations cannot be followed.
It suits me." Daochang retorted.
"Look! There is movement in the ghost town!" (To be continued)
