Chapter 238 Guodu Earthquake
Before Xu Xing led the Earth Dragon to turn over, in the jade hall of Yongguo Palace, Emperor Qi Hongliang was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing the memorial absent-mindedly.
Below was an old man who looked about fifties. The old man was reporting to Qi Hongliang: "...The group of black monsters occupying Ningtong City have replenished a lot of corpses after a battle with the so-called anti-black alliance, and their power has increased a lot. Recently, they are a little ready to move, as if they are expanding around. Ningtong City is too close to the capital, so this trouble has to be guarded! Please ask the emperor to ask the ancestors of the royal family to take action as soon as possible to destroy this trouble!"
Qi Hongliang put down a jade slip in his hand and said weakly: "I understand, the ancestor has his own opinions on this matter."
The old man below continued: "In addition, the anti-black alliance has risen very strangely and developed rapidly. All the members of the alliance are fanatical and excited, as if they have been hit by some special magic. If they are allowed to develop, it will cause considerable damage to our Yongguo. It is better to wipe it out as soon as possible!"
Qi Hongliang looked at it with another jade slip and said, "The Anti-Black Alliance you mentioned is much more detailed in this jade slip than you said! Their leader is an alien Nascent Soul monk. I have asked Mr. Xing Ou of Zuozhu Kingdom to deal with this matter."
The old man nodded: "Mr. Xing'ou is also in the cultivation of the Nascent Soul. Among the same level, most Nascent Soul monks are far inferior to him. If he asked him to handle this matter, he would definitely handle it properly."
Qi Hongliang said: "Is there anything else for the Grand Master?"
The old man said, "I heard that the emperor went to Zuyuan to pay homage to the ancestor today, but he did not see him?"
Qi Hongliang sighed and said, "Yes, in the past, even if the ancestors had something to do, they would respond, but today, there was no movement. In addition, there seemed to be assassins appearing near the Zuyuan, which made me feel a little uneasy."
The old man smiled and said, "The emperor is probably worried too much. As far as the old minister knows, the ancestor Yuanliang has long been a great monk who has entered the realm of God Transformation. Although he was plotted by Xiaoxiao when he was transformed into a state of destiny, it was not something that anyone could watch! Like those who could easily be discovered by lions, tigers and beasts, but dare not show up when they were searched by the guards, it would be impossible to approach the emperor Yuanliang! How could he plot against him? The emperor does not have to worry so much about this matter.
"The old minister speculated that the reason why the ancestor Yuanliang did not respond to the emperor was nothing more than two reasons. First, he was practicing a certain technique and was at a very critical moment, and he could not tolerate outsiders' disturbances. He closed the protective formation of Zuyuan early, and the emperor's request for advice did not reach it at all. Second, he was going out for a while and was not in Zuyuan, so he naturally could not respond to the emperor."
Qi Hongliang let out a light breath and said, "What the Grand Master said is reasonable. I think it is because I am under too much pressure recently and I am a little anxious."
The old man said again: "The old minister has something to report to the emperor."
Qi Hongliang said: "Prince, please speak!"
The old man said: "According to the rewards of several traveling disciples under the old minister, the disciples of the two major sects, Xuanyang Sect and Xiji Sect, have recently been walking around our Yongguo realm. I suspect that this change in Yongding Mountain is mostly related to these two sects!"
Qi Hongliang threw away the jade slip in his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "The strength of our Yongguo is much different from these two sects. Even if they really have any plans, what can we do? It's just to continue to use the power to fight and seek protection from one of the sects."
The old man said with a serious expression: "The Xiji Sect is full of tigers, wolfs, animals, and animals. They are savage and cruel, cruel and easy to kill. I don't know how many people in my Yongguo have eaten them as food and snacks. They have a deep hatred like a sea of blood with my Yongguo. They must not be friends with them! The only thing we can do is to continue to surrender to Xuanyang Sect and ask for their protection, so that we can develop, so that we can become stronger one day and be completely bullied by Xiji Sect!"
Qi Hongliang lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I naturally know about this. Don't worry, Grand Master!"
Seeing this, the old man knew that Qi Hongliang had not listened to his advice, and said again: "Emperor, almost 90% of the people in the borders of Yongguo have died in the mouths of the half-demon cultivators of the Xiji Sect. If we cooperate with Xiji Sect, it may lead to unanimous rebellion from all over the country. At that time, I am afraid that if the people from the Xiji Sect will not be able to wait for Xuanyang. If the people from the Xiji Sect take action, my Yongguo will be in chaos first!"
Qi Hongliang looked a little impatient: "Taoshi, I have my own concerns about this matter! I won't have to worry about it!"
As soon as the words finished, a loud bang sounded in the ears of the two of them.
The earth trembled, and the houses fell down.
The two of them changed their color together, rushed out quickly, jumped into the sky, and checked the surrounding situation.
An unprecedented earthquake is happening in the capital of Yongguo.
The earthquake came very suddenly. It was noon, and a loud noise suddenly came from under the earth, like thunder.
With the palace as the center, the earthquake range radiates towards the surroundings.
The various formations arranged in the palace were destroyed in the moment of the earthquake.
Most formations need to be accurately calculated based on geographical locations before they can achieve the effect that the formation should have.
This earthquake will cause the formation bases of many formations to loosen and shift, causing the formation to be destroyed. At the very least, the power of the formation will be damaged, and at the worst, the formation will be completely useless.
Large groups of palaces collapsed and collapsed in an instant.
There were ruins everywhere, and the frightened palace people fled everywhere in panic.
Those who can enter the Yongguo Palace basically have a certain level of cultivation. Even if a house collapses, it is difficult to be fatal even if they cannot escape and be buried in the ruins for a while. At most, they will suffer some injuries of varying degrees.
The guards guarding the palace reacted very quickly. Not long after the earthquake, they all went out to suppress the chaos.
Because of this earthquake, the ban on air formation of Yongguo Capital was greatly damaged, and its power was greatly reduced.
Outside the palace, there were a large number of monks who either climbed up to look at the heights, or flew directly to the sky to see the range of the earthquake and the cause of the earthquake.
Everyone knows that in this world of immortal cultivators, especially in places where many immortal cultivators gather, ordinary earthquakes are generally difficult to form.
Because before the underground plates are about to move, some monks who are good at observing celestial phenomena and geography will be noticed in advance, and then monks with advanced cultivation will eliminate this hidden danger in the bud.
Therefore, the first thought of many people when they feel an earthquake is not a natural disaster, but someone attacks it!
Especially when many monks saw this from afar, they saw the cracks that were cracked in all directions with the palace as the center, which made them even more determined.
Some bold people would go closer to the palace, wanting to fish in the water and catch some benefits; while some timid and cautious monks have already taken their relatives and friends to escape to the city.
A large number of guard monks have gathered around Qi Hongliang.
The golden armored Yuanying monk knelt down to Qi Hongliang and said, "I am not able to protect my husband, which has led to an attack on the imperial city. Please punish me for death!"
Qi Hongliang sighed, "This is because of the careful design of the thief. What do you have to do with you? Please get up quickly! Now that the imperial city is in chaos, you must take action to pull the thief out!" As he said that, he raised his hand, and a golden magic power surged out, trying to help the golden armored Yuanying monk up.
But after the golden magic power surged out, it seemed very weak. Most of the dragon energy contained in the magic power disappeared after leaving the body!
Qi Hongliang's expression changed drastically, and the Jinjia Yuanying monk also discovered this, stood up with the flow, and his expression changed slightly.
Qi Hongliang turned his head, looked at the old man beside him, and asked in a trembling voice: "Tao Shi... what's going on? Why did my emperor's dragon energy disappear?"
The old man frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master, this matter is probably related to this earthquake! There may be something wrong with the dragon vein under the imperial city!"
Qi Hongliang said: "How could there be a problem with the dragon vein? The dragon vein is protected by a large array. Even a god-transforming cultivator cannot destroy the dragon vein without realizing it! Who can move the dragon vein?"
The old man said: "People who can sneak into the vicinity of the dragon vein quietly and destroy the dragon vein may not necessarily be god-transforming monks! Perhaps some people who have practiced special skills, or those who have the destiny of emperors, may not be unable to do this as long as they spend some effort!"
Qi Hongliang's face became fierce: "The dragon vein must not be misleading!" As he said that, he took out a large golden seal and threw it into the air. The seal emitted a yellow light, covering the entire imperial city.
A faint dragon-shaped phantom penetrated the entire imperial city and appeared faintly in the yellow light.
It can be seen that the dragon shape has become somewhat incomplete, and there are even several pieces that have been broken.
And in one of the dragon-shaped phantoms, a faint figure also appeared.
The figure was moving quickly underground, and had reached the edge of the imperial city and was about to escape.
Qi Hongliang's face turned pale with anger: "Who dares to destroy my dragon veins! Everyone, catch that person for me!"
The Jinjia Yuanying monk immediately responded: "Yes!" He jumped into a golden light and flew towards the direction of the figure that appeared.
The old man next to him also spoke, "Your Majesty, the old minister will come and help!"
Qi Hongliang said gratefully: "I will feel much more at ease with the Grand Master coming!"
Xu Xing, who was next to the dragon vein under the ground, knew that things were not good after the earthquake and wanted to drive here quickly, but he was still one step slower.
The figure illuminated by Qi Hongliang's large seal was Xu Xing.
After the figure was photographed by the big seal, Xu Xing immediately noticed it, looked up, frowned slightly, and continued to sneak underground.
Not long after, Xu Xing sneaked out of the imperial city, and the feeling of being exposed to everyone's eyes also disappeared.
But this did not make Xu Xing feel relaxed. Although the feeling of being watched disappeared, he still felt that several eyes had locked on him, following him like a shadow.
But Xu Xing couldn't figure out how it was locked up for a moment, so he had to try his best to escape from the distance, intending to get rid of the pursuers behind him and then carefully find the reason.
The capital of Yongguo is 300 miles in size. Although Xu Xing can use the earth escape technique for a long time, his speed of escape underground is not as fast as that of flying in the air.
Moreover, the mana consumed by exercising earth escape is much more mana than required during flight.
Therefore, not long after Xu Xing left the imperial city, he came out of the underground and changed his appearance as a passerby, wandering among the crowd of people leaving the city to escape the chaos, and walked all the way out of the city.
Above the head, a golden light flew by, and another white light flew by.
Immediately afterwards, more than 100 Jindan monks flew over, followed by more than 3,000 Foundation Establishment monks following.
Everyone below looked up and watched, and someone said, "This is the imperial guard monk in the palace. I wonder if there were so many large groups of people who were dispatched, and I don't know if they found the attackers!"
Someone responded: "From this attitude, I must have found some trace!"
Someone complained: "I don't know who did it! I thought it would be safe to be in the capital, but who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen again!"
"Old He, I remember you fled from Ningtong City not long ago, right? You said, will this earthquake be related to the black monsters in Ningtong City?"
A person called "Lao He" said, "Who knows this! People like us who have poor cultivation can only try their best to avoid those disasters and stay away! How can we know what is the real reason behind the disaster?"
Some people also shouted "insider news": "I know! This earthquake is 80% related to the group of human-eating animals in the Xiji Sect!"
This sentence attracted many people's approval: "It's right! Over the years, Xiji Sect has always wanted to capture our Yongguo and raise all of us like pigs. Whenever we feel better, we will pull out one and slaughter it and eat it!"
A young man gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Xiji Sect! I must practice hard and kill them all in the future!"
Someone laughed and said, "Young man, I have ambition, I'll be optimistic about you!"
Some people also said disdainfully: "I thought I had the same idea as you back then. I wasted hundreds of years, but I was still just a foundation-building realm! You, a junior who has just entered the Qi Refining Realm, have a lot of tone!"
The boy stammered his neck and said, "If you don't do it, it doesn't mean others can do it either! I can definitely do it!"
