Dome spire.

The old man walked slowly, holding a transparent ball in his hand, with a solemn expression.

Under my feet was a large area of ​​endless black sand, which could not be seen at first sight, as if I was in the sea of ​​sand.

Of course it is not a real sea of ​​sand. If you look closely, you will find that the black sand particles are actually crushed by the corpses of floating beasts. Because there are too many and too dense, they look like the sea of ​​sand.

Every time the old man took a step, many grains of sand flew over from all directions and gathered into the transparent ball.

The sea of ​​sand is boundless, and the transparent ball is like a bottomless pit, and there is no sign of filling it.

After a long time, I stopped and looked at the ball and seemed to be thinking.

The ball has turned green. If you look closely, it is because there is a solid green mist in the center of the ball, which is extremely active, like a slowly blooming flower, or a bud just out, full of vitality, full of vitality, and a feeling of the origin of all things.

"Only enough to generate two? Compared with the previous locust tide, it's also good."

The old man took out another ball from his sleeve, stood it together and looked at it, nodded and put it away with satisfaction, and then stomped his feet hard.

Bang! Bang!

The ground immediately collapsed, the black sand around it rose up, dancing wildly in the sky, and the world changed.

In dozens of breaths, the vast sea of ​​sand disappeared. Dozens of flat round cakes appeared in the air around the old man, with potholes and dense surfaces, as if many sand particles were pinched together and then rubbed into such a shape.

Very strange.

The old man didn't even look at it, and sat down straight, with a thick white mist constantly emerging from his body, covering himself and many round cakes around him.

As time passed, in the vast white area, some faint green shadows could be seen vaguely, appearing on the round cake and slowly expanding.

The old man was still motionless, as if he was completely still.

Crescent City.

It has been more than two years since the locust tide ended. Now the city is full of people, much more lively than before.

Because all the Acropolis were destroyed, all the immortals in the Acropolis came to Crescent City to live temporarily, so there were naturally more people doing nothing.

In a huge restaurant, many people are talking big.

"Have you heard that? The Xiyu Realm was also occupied by Linglong Pavilion. This time, both sides started to fight again. Bai Yujing seemed to have suffered heavy losses."

"Who hasn't heard of it?"

"That's right, Linglong Pavilion shouts inside every day, and everyone hears it."

"I didn't expect Linglong Pavilion to be so powerful, it seems to be destroyed."

"I've been planning for a long time. In the past two years, they have seized nine realms in succession and wiped out the forces of Bai Yujing in those realms. It's really a thunderous method. If this continues, I don't think it will take decades to go to Bai Yujing without any trade routes to other realms."

"Didn't Bai Yujing grab five more?"

"Can the ones I snatched back be the same? And even if everyone dies, they can't live anymore. I heard from the people of Linglong Pavilion that many people died in Bai Yujing."

"Bai Yujing is in trouble this time, and it feels like Qitianlou."

"They won't fight in Crescent City, are they?"

"No, there is a city lord watching, but it's hard to say when it comes out of the ring road. Remember the last time they joined forces to deal with Qi Tianlou? That was a complete tear-up. The golden immortals of the two families were waiting outside the ring road. When they saw Qi Tianlou, they forced them back and killed them if they didn't go back, so Qi Tianlou could not do any business. Finally, they were forced to go to the northern district to fight a decisive battle. As a result, after a while, most of the golden immortals surrendered, and the rest retreated and hid."

"I couldn't hide for long, and it was completely wiped out in a few months. Qi Lin's body and head were different. I heard that he was still killed by the wandering golden immortal."

"Will the You family... be like this?"

"Linglong Pavilion has not started fighting outside the ring road yet, so there must be some concerns, but if there is no concern, the You family will be almost done."

"Fortunately I didn't join Bai Yujing, otherwise it would be miserable, haha."

At the wine table not far away, Zhou Shu put down his wine glass and walked out slowly.

He has heard a lot of remarks like this recently, and it is obviously widely circulated in Crescent City. It is probably the people of Crescent City that Linglong Pavilion is booming, while Bai Yujing is already in decline.

Of course, this may not be the case.

Zhou Shu had used Linglong treasure ship and knew the specific situation. He kept dispatching treasure ships like Linglong Pavilion, and the Golden Immortals, the immortal stones consumed in the past two years were far more than 100 billion, and the income from the nine realms was not even over 100 billion, let alone Bai Yujing would still be snatched back. Linglong Pavilion is a reputation for losing money. Of course, Bai Yujing will not be able to live well, and it is basically a situation where both sides suffer losses.

He was a little surprised before, why didn't the You family come to find him?

He has the Ten Thousand Soul Order in hand and the protection of the core disciples of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect, Linglong Pavilion dare not touch him. If Bai Yujing uses Zhou Shu to open up new business paths or simply grab the Linglong Pavilion's territory, the effect will not be much worse than that of Linglong Treasure Ship, and it is basically not consumed, which is far more cost-effective than using a treasure ship in Linglong Pavilion.

But in fact, if you really do this, you may only succeed once or twice at most, and Linglong Pavilion will definitely make a desperate bet later.

The example of Qitian Tower is right in front.

If the result is all to die, instead of watching yourself die like Qi Tianlou, it is better to die just by fighting.

Zhou Shu has almost figured it out these days. If he comes forward to help Bai Yujing, he will basically face the full-scale attack from Linglong Pavilion. He will die for a lifetime. No wonder the You family would not ask for help, because he asked him to die.

If they didn't say it, Zhou Shu wouldn't beg for death by himself.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the problem lies with Zhou Shu.

If Zhou Shu's unstable factor is gone, Linglong Pavilion may not have to fight against Bai Yujing now, both sides will suffer losses. If you live to the death, the two sides can still balance safely. It is precisely because Zhou Shu is standing on Bai Yujing's side that Linglong Pavilion has to attack Bai Yujing first in order to survive, which has formed this situation.

In fact, the city lord was right at the beginning. It was indeed Zhou Shu who underestimated himself. If he didn't withdraw at that time, he would become the center of the vortex.

However, at this time, it would be difficult for Zhou Shu to escape. It was not good for Bai Yujing and even more bad for himself. He had been infected with so many causes and effects. It can be said that it changed the entire situation in the Crescent City and was useless to escape. All he could do is wait and wait for an opportunity.

It should be almost there.

Shaking his head, Zhou Shu no longer thought about it and walked quickly towards the gate of Kongyuan.

Pass through the Gate of Kongyuan and come to the West District.

The West District is the place where Crescent City practices, which is much smaller than the South District. However, the environment is quiet and the fairy energy is generally one or two levels higher than the middle district of the South District. Good places are not even as good as Shangqingju. Therefore, most Golden Immortals live here.

After passing through several mountains, I came to a cave and bowed respectfully in front of the door, "Senior, junior Zhou Shu is here to visit."

The cave door opened quickly, and a thick and peaceful voice came, "Come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you, senior."
