Black Rock City and the surrounding beaches are covered with an atmosphere of darkness and corruption.
There is an unpleasant smell floating in the air, and the city is also lifeless, which makes people feel uneasy.
Moreover, Black Rock City's defensive formation has also been activated.
A multicolored light shield with a radius of hundreds of miles enveloped Black Rock City like a canopy.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing frowned.
"Blackstone City is the main city of the Hundred Cities of the East China Sea. Not only is it stationed with 100,000 elite soldiers, but Xiao Han is also in charge personally. How could it be like this?
Did some disaster happen in the city? Why are there no traces of the people?"
Full of doubts, he landed outside the gate of Blackstone City.
The huge city gate was closed tightly, and there was no one guarding the gate. The city guards stood on the ten-foot-high city wall, looking down at him.
Seeing him walking under the city gate, a pair of city guards on the city wall immediately aimed their crossbows at him.
The guard captain asked with a stern voice: "Who is coming?"
Ji Tianxing took out the gold seal of the Territory Lord and said with a majestic expression: "Ji Tianxing, the Lord of the Tianchen Territory, is here to pay a special visit to the Donglin Divine General. Please tell Master Xiao."
As soon as the city guards on the city wall saw the domain lord's golden seal, they looked at him a few times and suddenly burst into discussion.
"It's Master Ji Tianxing!"
"Sure enough, it's Lord Ji. I remember him. He was the one who assisted Lord General Ji in pacifying the sea monster in Guyu Bay more than a year ago!"
"Wow, I have always heard that Mr. Ji is the number one genius in our clan and the most outstanding son of the Emperor's Palace. I never thought that I would finally see him in person today!"
Many of the city guards looked happy and excited, looking at Ji Tianxing with eyes full of awe and admiration.
Obviously, Ji Tianxing's reputation has long been famous in the mainland, even in the East China Sea.
A year ago, he helped Xiao Han kill the sea monster that occupied the Ancient Jade Bay, and became a great hero in the East China Sea, praised by the people in the coastal cities.
Now that he has come to Blackstone City again, how can those city guards not be excited?
The city guards quickly opened the city gate and greeted him respectfully into the city.
The guard captain also personally led him into the city and rushed to the Donglin Divine General's Mansion.
While on the way, Ji Tianxing observed the streets and alleys in the city and found that there were indeed very few people in the city, and the doors and windows of every household were closed.
The bustling streets and row upon row of shops in the past were all closed and no one was around.
Ji Tianxing was confused and asked the guard captain: "What happened in the city? Why are the people missing and even the shops closed?"
The guard captain quickly and respectfully replied: "Master Qi Zhenji, my subordinates don't know what is going on.
But half a month ago, the Divine General ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and the people were not allowed to go out, and also activated the city defense formation.
My subordinates heard rumors in the army that soldiers from all walks of life are rescuing people in coastal cities. It is said that there is a plague in coastal cities..."
"Plague?" Ji Tianxing frowned immediately and felt a thump in his heart.
He immediately remembered that the Imperial Master had told him just two days ago that the Demon Emperor had refined many Blood God Sons to spread plague and create disasters on the border battlefields.
"Did those Blood God Sons not only cause chaos on the border battlefields, but also break through the defense lines and lurk in the East China Sea?
This is impossible! The three tribes are all trying their best to protect the border and resist the invasion of the demons. How can it be possible for the demons to sneak in here? "
Ji Tianxing was very confused and a little uneasy.
Not long after, the guard captain led him to the Divine General's Mansion.
The guard captain turned around and said goodbye. Ji Tianxing was welcomed into the mansion by the steward of the Divine General's Mansion and went to take a seat in the reception hall.
He had only sat for a while, and as soon as he drank half a cup of spiritual tea, footsteps sounded at the door of the hall.
He turned to look at the door and saw a tall and burly figure walking in quickly.
"Tian Xing, I didn't expect that we would meet again not long after we separated!
What brought you here to be a guest at the General's Mansion?"
The person who came was none other than Xiao Han, wearing a purple robe and a dark red cloak over his shoulders, exuding iron-blooded domineering energy.
As soon as he entered the hall, he burst into hearty laughter and greeted Ji Tianxing.
Behind him, there was also a pretty girl wearing silver armor and a silver sword hanging at her waist, it was Xiao Ling'er.
In the past, Xiao Ling'er was very pretty and cute, with a somewhat quirky temperament.
But now, she is wearing silver armor and a blue cloak. She looks heroic and vigorous with her armor and sword.
Ji Tianxing almost didn't recognize her, and was stunned for a moment before he saw her appearance clearly.
From the moment she stepped into the hall, she stared at Ji Tianxing closely, her eyes sparkling with joy and joy, and her eyes were very bright.
Obviously, she was very happy and excited to see Ji Tianxing again, and she had a lot to say in her heart.
Xiao Han walked up to Ji Tianxing, bowed his hands and bowed, then sat next to him and started talking with him.
Xiao Ling'er consciously stood behind Xiao Han, looking like a follower of a guard.
But her 'little follower' was not qualified for her job. She did not have a majestic appearance and kept her gaze fixed on Ji Tianxing.
While drinking tea, Xiao Han asked Ji Tianxing: "Tianxing, why did you come to Black Rock City? Are you going to the Donghai Tribe Imperial Court again?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and explained: "This time I am not going to the Water Tribe Imperial Court, but to the East China Sea Guixu.
The journey was long and my companions were seriously injured, so I wanted to stay in Blackstone City for a few days to help them recover from their injuries.
Lord General, if I come to disturb you for a few days, it won’t affect your official duties, right?”
Xiao Han quickly waved his hand and said enthusiastically: "Tian Xing, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to be happy that you can be a guest, so what's the delay?
Don’t worry, I will ask Ling’er to send the order right away, arrange the best hospital for you to stay in, and provide healing elixirs to help your companions heal.”
Hearing him mention Xiao Ling'er, Ji Tianxing glanced sideways at Xiao Ling'er and joked: "We haven't seen you for two months. Miss Ling'er seems to have grown a lot. She looks like a little general, right?"
Xiao Ling'er kept staring at him, waiting for the opportunity to talk to him.
When I heard him praising me, I felt happy and said with a smile: "Brother Tianxing, thank you! Since I left the Xiao clan, I followed Uncle Xiao Han... Oh no, I followed the Lord General to Black Rock.
city.
Now I serve under the command of the Lord Divine General, as the deputy general of the Donglin battleship, and I lead the escort team on weekdays to protect the safety of the battleship and the Lord Divine General."
Ji Tianxing showed a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "What about Xiao Chen? Why don't you see anyone else?"
Xiao Han chuckled lightly and explained: "Xiao Chen is now General Feihu under my command, leading the fourth fleet and presiding over the overall situation in Xunfeng City.
Since this kid left the Xiao clan, he seems to have become a different person. He works hard, works hard, fights hard, is brave and resourceful, and has made several achievements in just two months..."
