After Nangong Yun figured out the problem with the magic circle, he briefly explained the situation outside Qingshi County and marked some special locations. He believed that Lan Yue would be able to see these.
Afterwards, he returned to Wei Zong's house in Qingshi County before dawn.
He was very careful, so no one noticed him.
Not long after he returned to his room and changed his clothes, he heard the rapid sound of gongs coming from the yard, and then everyone in the house was awakened.
There was also a rapid knock on the door in Nangong Yun's room, and then, someone outside the door was heard saying anxiously.
"Master Yun, get up quickly. Something big has happened. Elder Wei asks you to gather in the hall as soon as possible!"
Nangong Yun waited for a while before stepping forward and opening the door.
I saw a man in full attire, looking at Nangong Yun in a panic and saying.
"Master Yun, Elder Wei is already waiting in the hall. Come with me quickly!"
Nangong Yun couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but seeing the whole house suddenly become so nervous, something important must have happened.
Immediately, he followed the man to the hall.
"Nephew, I bother you so early, but I just received a message from the Vientiane Envoy. The troops from Tianjian Mountain are already less than a hundred miles away from Qingshi County!"
As soon as Nangong Yun arrived at the hall, he saw Wei Zong coming forward with a serious expression.
"What? So fast?"
Nangong Yun was also a little surprised when he heard Wei Zong's words.
You know, he had just returned from outside the city, and he had not yet figured out how to destroy the killing array Wei Zong had set up outside the city.
At this time, Senior Yue and the others suddenly attacked, but he was not ready yet.
Besides, the previously agreed time for the attack is not now, so why are they preparing to attack? Could something have happened?
Nangong Yun was a little anxious for a moment, and then he tentatively asked Wei Zong.
"Why are they suddenly preparing to attack?"
Wei Zong sneered and said.
"They must have discovered that our men and horses are about to arrive. They don't want to be attacked from both sides, so they can't wait to capture Qingshi County first!"
"Oh, then when will our support team from the helm arrive here?"
"Three days at most!"
Nangong Yun was surprised when he heard this. He and Yue Tianpeng originally estimated that it would take about ten days for the Wanxiang Sect's support team to arrive here, but now it only takes three days!
Nangong Yun finally understood why Yue Tianpeng and the others were attacking Qingshi County now.
"In this way, they really have to take action right away! But, how many people do we have in Qingshi County? Are everything ready now?"
Nangong Yun had a worried look on his face. He knew that Wei Zong's trump card was the magic circle outside the city. However, he asked the men and horses defending inside the city, naturally hoping to elicit what Wei Zong said.
Wei Zong is worthy of being the elder of Wanxiang Sect. Although the current situation is severe, he remains unhurried and calm.
"Nephew, you don't have to worry. There are still 20,000 troops in Qingshi County, and they are all disciples of the fifth and sixth levels of Yuanhun. However, the Tianjian Sect is coming menacingly now, and their morale is high. I will dampen their morale first. !”
Wei Zong said with confidence.
Obviously, he was fully confident that he could defeat the Tianjian Sect, but the actual situation was just as he thought. The killing formation outside the city alone was enough to make Yue Tianpeng and the others lose their troops.
Nangong Yun was a little anxious. Now, Yue Tianpeng and the others didn't know the situation outside the city, and he couldn't seize the formation eye pestle immediately. Seeing that in half a day, the men of Tianjian Sect would rush into Wei Zong's trap. It was time What to do!
"Report...report to Elder Wei! We have found important information about the enemy!"
While Nangong Yun was thinking, a young man in colorful clothes walked into the hall. His clothes seemed to be different from ordinary Wanxiang Sect disciples. He quickly stepped forward and handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Wei Zong. , then turned around and left quickly.
Nangong Yun was a little confused after seeing it, and he guessed in his heart that this person could be the Wanxiang Envoy of Wanxiang Sect!
Wei Zong saw the confusion on Nangong Yun's face, and then said with a smile.
"Master Nephew, these are the Wanxiang Envoys of our Wanxiang Sect. They are specifically responsible for delivering information!"
After hearing Wei Zong's explanation, Nangong Yun nodded, but he suddenly felt worried. Could it be that the Wanxiang Sect had discovered some secret of the Tianjian Sect?
Then, he pointed at the bamboo tube in Wei Zong's hand and asked curiously.
"I wonder what happened?"
Wei Zong immediately opened the bamboo tube, took out the silk rolled inside, opened it in front of Nangong Yun and looked at it carefully.
However, after he read the urgent letter, his face became a little ugly, and then he sighed and said.
"I really didn't expect that Jian Xin, the direct descendant of Tian Jian Sect, has broken through to the Star Realm!"
When Nangong Yun heard what Wei Zong said, the worry in his heart eased a little.
It turned out that they had only heard about this matter, and they did not know any important secrets about the Tianjian Sect’s people.
However, Nangong Yun knew about this matter a month ago, and besides, it was the realm he helped Lan Yue break through, so he was not surprised by this matter.
On the contrary, Wei Zong, after reading this letter, fell into deep thought in disbelief and did not recover for a long time.
Nangong Yun looked at his expression and guessed that he might be planning how to deal with the Tianjian Sect.
But he didn't expect that Wei Zong was so shocked after hearing this incident that he couldn't accept it for a while!
Seeing that he stopped talking for a while, Nangong Yun asked curiously.
"Does her breaking through to the Star Realm pose any threat to us?"
Wei Zong's thoughts were interrupted by Nangong Yun's questioning voice, but he shook his head and said.
"Master nephew, she is only in the first stage of the stars now, and she will not pose much of a threat to us, but..."
Wei Zong raised his head and glanced at Nangong Yun, then continued meaningfully.
"It's just that Tianjian Sect has such a peerless talent, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will become a serious problem for our Wanxiang Sect!"
"Is it that serious?"
Nangong Yun asked pretending to be disdainful.
"My nephew must not underestimate her. Now she is only sixteen years old, but she has already broken through to the Star Realm. With such talent and qualifications, she is destined to become the overlord! If God's will is not so, our Wanxiang Sect definitely does not want to be an enemy of her. !”
Wei Zong seemed to think that Nangong Yun was a bit young and frivolous, and he didn't know the heights of the world.
However, after all, he was the first direct descendant chosen by the sect master, and he couldn't reprimand him in person, so he could only try his best to persuade him not to be too proud.
Nangong Yun said that intentionally just now. He originally wanted to dispel Wei Zong's concerns and let him not pay too much attention to Lan Yue's existence.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wei Zong, as an elder of the Wanxiang Sect and a strong man of the second level of the stars, was not arrogant at all.
He even warned me, my "nephew"!
Nangong Yun was also secretly impressed. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for the Wanxiang Sect to be able to rise in the Western Region and compete with the Tianjian Mountain branch that had been inherited for thousands of years in just a few decades.
But as Wei Zong said, all of this is God's will!
Since God's will is this, we can only go with the flow.
Immediately, he said to Wei Zong calmly.
"But God has made him my enemy, so I can only destroy him!"
When Wei Zong heard Nangong Yun say such words, he nodded appreciatively.
"My nephew is right. Since we are enemies from birth, let's not talk about anything else but life and death!"
"Don't talk about anything else, just talk about life and death!"
Nangong Yun silently repeated what Wei Zong said. However, what Wei Zong didn't understand was that Nangong Yun's words were actually meant for him...
After Wei Zong thought for a moment, he said to Nangong Yun with a stern expression.
"Nephew, I need your help with something!"
Nangong Yun was still thinking about what Wei Zong said before, but when he heard what he said suddenly, he couldn't help but said in confusion.
"Uncle Master, if you have any questions, just tell me!"
"It's like this. According to the investigation of our Vientiane Envoy, among the people of Tianjian Sect, there are currently only two masters of the Star Realm, Yue Tianpeng and Lan Yue, and I am the only one in Qingshi County who has reached the Star Realm. So, wait for the day When the men and horses of Jianmen attack here, I need my nephew to help me do something!"
When Nangong Yun heard this, he was secretly happy. If his prediction was correct, Wei Zong might want him to help control the killing formation. Then he pretended to be confused and asked.
"What does Uncle Master want me to do?"
At this time, Wei Zong took out a short cylindrical dark metal rod from his arms. It was about ten inches long, as thick as a hand, with a blunt top and a sharp bottom. The whole thing looked like a cylindrical wooden wedge.
Nangong Yun looked at the thing in Wei Zong's hand curiously, and he naturally knew in his heart that this should be the Formation Eye Pestle that Lord Huo called.
However, Nangong Yun still found it a bit incredible that such a seemingly ordinary thing could control the entire killing array.
Seeing Nangong Yun's surprised look, Wei Zong felt proud. This was the Formation Eye Pestle specially refined by Wan Zhentian in order to allow him to accurately control the formation.
Although he knew that Nangong Yun was about to become the direct disciple of the sect leader, and he would know this sooner or later, but now he could still show off, and then said with a smile.
"Does my nephew know what this is?"
Nangong Yun was amused when he heard this. What's so good about such a crappy thing? He just had to pretend to be surprised on his face and asked.
"I don't know, uncle, what exactly is this?"
"This is called the Formation Eye Pestle!"
"Array Eye Pestle? Is it something related to the magic circle?"
Seeing the confused look on Nangong Yun's face, Wei Zong couldn't help but feel happy, but Wei Zong also admired Nangong Yun's ability to speak about the magic circle.
Because the Formation Dao is a relatively secretive existence in the entire Yuanhun Continent, except for the sect in Donghuang that specializes in Formation Dao, that is, the leader of their Wanxiang Sect, Wan Zhentian, has done some research on the Formation Dao.
"Yes, my nephew actually knows that the magic circle is extraordinary at such a young age. This eye pestle is the key that the master of the magic circle has condensed and can be used to control the magic circle!"
"Oh? Uncle, are you the formation master?"
Although Nangong Yun asked this question, he was disdainful in his heart. What does it mean that he knows a magic circle is extraordinary? If he can arrange a small magic circle, doesn't he become a master of the magic circle?
Wei Zong naturally didn't know that Nangong Yun had learned about magic formations since he was a child. In his opinion, Wan Zhentian was undoubtedly the master of formations in the world today, and he was able to access the magic formations and control them. This was already a great achievement. A very remarkable thing.
Therefore, when he heard Nangong Yun ask if he was a formation master, he couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart and said with a smile.
"I can't say that I'm a master of formations. He's just able to set up and control formations!"
When Nangong Yun heard this, he felt that this guy was really not ashamed, so he put gold in his face.
However, Wei Zong was a little carried away when talking about the formation, maybe because he really yearned for the formation.
But Nangong Yun did not dare to underestimate him. After all, Wei Zong was a strong man with the second-level cultivation level of the stars. At his age, someone who could cultivate to this level could be regarded as one of the most amazing and talented people on the mainland.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he can set up and control the magic circle!
