There are only a few pillars left to support the huge mine mountain and prevent it from collapsing.
And in the empty heart of the mountain, a rather spectacular scene came into view.
Nine majestic stone dragons, each occupying a position, surround an extremely large stone ball in the shape of nine dragons arching beads.
Miaoyin, Fang Cuihong and others were amazed and couldn't believe what they saw.
Xia Qingchen stepped over, looked at it carefully, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the shovel."
Miaoyin hesitated and handed him the shovel. The latter stepped forward and gently shoveled the surface of the stone ball.
As a result, the stone ball only had a layer of lime on the surface, but it was a green ball inside.
In the ball, there is a purple, palm-sized ancient sign suspended.
Its material is neither gold nor wood. It has both wooden texture and metallic luster, and it emits a light fluorescence all over.
As the purple card rolls around, you can see a chilling word devil carved on the card!
The word "Demon" is written in ancient Chinese characters. The font is weird and ferocious, as if it were written by a real devil.
Seeing this word, Miaoyin and others, who had been excited just now, all had an ominous premonition.
"Sir, what is this?" Fang Cuihong covered her chest and asked a little uneasily.
Xia Qingchen stared at the purple card and said: "Everyone, step back and don't be within ten feet of this card, otherwise your mind will be affected."
Even he stood ten feet away and did not dare to get close.
Moreover, his eyes were very solemn.
"Who is so generous that he can actually get the Demon Lord's token?" Xia Qingchen murmured.
The so-called Demon Lord was one of the top ten Demon Lords of the year.
Although his strength was not as good as that of the number one Unparalleled Demon Lord, he was still quite strong. Xia Qingchen chased him for a whole day before killing him with his sword.
This purple token is the personal token of the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord has been extinct for thousands of years, and his token has long lost its divinity and has become a mortal thing. But even so, it still has the power to destroy the mortal world.
Some people actually use it as the driving force for Nine Dragons to ascend to heaven, trying to send Nine Dragons to heaven and kill the gods.
"This formation is not suitable to be left in the human world." Xia Qingchen reiterated.
From his perspective, this formation would not only fail to ascend to heaven, but would instead destroy the earth.
When the time comes, the terrifying power left in the Demon Lord's Token will not be able to harm the gods, but will instead cause the lives of all living beings to suffer.
"Find gunpowder and place it near the Nine Dragons Soul Locking Formation." Xia Qingchen immediately ordered.
The Yunlan battle group immediately transferred a large amount of gunpowder from the village, stocked it in the entire mine, and filled it up.
Once ignited, not to mention that the Nine Dragons Soul Locking Formation will be destroyed by bombing in an instant, and even the mines will be bombarded.
Seeing this scene, Miaoyin was worried. If Xia Qingchen deliberately blew up the mine, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Zhongyun Realm above would surely be buried here, and no one would be able to survive.
It's a pity that she was controlled by Xia Qingchen and lost her personal freedom, so she couldn't notify them at all.
Fortunately, Xia Qingchen had no intention of destroying it immediately.
"Seal the entrance, clean up the traces, block the information, and absolutely don't allow the information to leak." Xia Qingchen stared at Miaoyin.
The Yunlan battle group is his confidant and worthy of trust, but Miaoyin is not.
When Xia Qingchen saw it, Miaoyin's idea of secretly sending a message was immediately wiped out.
I'm afraid that once the news leaks out, no matter who spreads it, she will be the first one he wants to deal with.
"Let's go!" Xia Qingchen led the army back to the camp. It happened that Li Linye had already reorganized the Huangzi Tiantuan.
Seeing the returning figure of the Yunlan battle group, Ruo Sasha said with deep meaning: "Master Xia, Zhou Bendao is in charge of the law, and the position of the Huangzitian group is vacant. This is a rare opportunity, so don't miss it."
The implication is to remind Xia Qingchen to find a way out.
Any Wanxiao Cavalry under the current City Guard Corps has been occupied.
If there are no unexpected circumstances, no one can be promoted to the new Wan Xiaoqi.
Huang Zitian Group is the best opportunity in recent years!
Xia Qingchen's eyes were distant, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Everything must be obeyed by the commander-in-chief."
He didn't think that the commander-in-chief would hand over the Huangzi Tiantuan to him.
All signs indicate that the commander-in-chief is trying to eliminate the Yu family's influence in the city protection army.
Whether it was arranging Li Linye to appoint the Ninth Military Region to attack the east or west, or arranging Zhao Feimo, who had a grudge against the Yu family, to become the quasi-commander.
Seemingly unintentional actions, in fact, they have very deep motives to deal with the Yu family.
Today, there is still a representative of the Yu family, Yu Guitian, who has not been expelled from the city protection army.
I would like to ask, will the commander-in-chief arrange for Xia Qingchen to stay away from the northwest military camp and arrive at the border?
The answer is no.
The commander-in-chief definitely hopes that Xia Qingchen will stay in the northwest military camp to hinder Yu Guitian. If necessary, he can also help him to get rid of Yu Guitian.
Therefore, even if he has great achievements this time, he will definitely not be promoted to Wan Xiaoqi.
Unless Yu Guida goes to jail!
Xia Qingchen's eyes were as cold as the stars in the dark night: "Yu Guitian, you're blocking my way!"
He glanced sideways and asked, "General Li, how are you collecting the evidence against the Yu family?"
Li Linye's eyes flickered slightly, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "We have obtained a lot of evidence from the prisoners' mouths, but they are all human witnesses and there is no physical evidence."
With only oral confessions and no physical evidence, it is not difficult to know whether Yu Guitian can be convicted.
Xia Qingchen was not surprised by this.
Judging from Yu Guitian's behavior, he likes to stay behind the scenes and control other people's actions without leaving any trace, and rarely leaves any tangible clues.
Li Linye looked at Miaoyin again, with a hint of hope in his eyes: "If it can be found out that this woman has a very high status, then her testimony will be very different."
The identification of a senior enemy officer is naturally much more credible.
Even if Yu Guitian cannot be convicted and convicted, it can still be done by temporarily relieving him from his post pending investigation.
Therefore, wonderful sound is the most important thing.
"Let's go back first and then talk!" Xia Qingchen's eyes flashed slightly.
Both sides were well prepared, and with nothing more to do, they joined forces and set off together.
The 30,000-strong crossbow army and more than a thousand regiments of the Yunlan regiment rolled up smoke and dust and rushed towards Liangzhou City.
Half a month later.
The suburbs of Liangzhou City are one hundred thousand miles away.
"After crossing this river, one day's journey ahead is the military palace." As night fell, Li Linye stood in front of the roaring river and pointed forward.
In view of the existence of Miaoyin, an important hostage, both armies were very steady along the way and did not pursue speed, but mainly focused on prevention.
Now that we have arrived within the radiation range of Liangzhou City, the military masters can arrive within an hour at most, so it can be said that we are already safe.
"Let's rush back to the military camp as soon as possible." Li Linye was determined to do so, but he still asked Xia Qingchen what he meant.
On the battlefield, Xia Qingchen's observant performance was greatly appreciated by Li Linye.
"When we think we are safest, it is often the most dangerous time." Xia Qingchen said without being arrogant or impetuous: "I think we should camp by the river tonight and not march in the dark."
In the dark, it is easy to be ambushed due to the influence of sight.
Although Li Linye was eager to return home, he was very good at listening to people's opinions. After weighing it for a moment, he said: "Okay! It doesn't matter if it's one day early. The whole army will camp by the river. The waiting cavalry will be doubled. It must be explored as far away as a hundred miles away."
Condition."
"yes!"
The tens of thousands of troops stopped and set up camp on the spot.
Two hundred miles away, near an official road leading to Liangjing, there were ancient trees on both sides.
At this time, the dark clouds flowed away, revealing the bright moon, pouring a long afterglow on the earth.
Under the moonlight, suddenly, cold light reflected in the dense forest.
Only when you look closely can you see clearly that it is the edge of a sharp blade and thousands of men in black, hiding in the ancient forest.
