As several people stepped into the area covered by the formation, Tianjihong also noticed subtle changes in the platform under his feet from the beginning; it seemed that not only the scattered stone pillars, but also the spreading outside of the platform Within twenty steps, there are spiritual patterns that were inscribed when the formation was set up. No wonder Wang Qing mentioned that a few years ago, this place could transport as many as 180 people at once. Just judging from the original hidden scale of the formation under the feet, it was no less than the previous one who trapped himself in the basin for a whole night. of fantasy.
It is a pity that the array patterns in nearly 80% of the outer area are no longer able to return to their former glory. Apart from occasionally emitting dim light patterns, they basically have no effect. At this moment, Tianjihong followed several others and walked into a disk at the core of the platform. This area, which was only three feet in radius, was the location where the magic circle was still effective.
Including Tianjihong, a total of eight people stood in the circle. Although they were not at war with each other, they all quickly chose a corner to stay. Then they put on a fearful look and were wary of each other. Following each other's every move; after all, within a distance of less than ten steps, once anyone launches an attack, it will have catastrophic consequences, and it will definitely affect everyone around him.
Tianjihong kept in mind Wang Qing's reminder just now and followed the latter driftingly, finding an area on the right edge to stand. He knew that the silence at the moment was only temporary. If he wanted to activate the magic circle and start teleportation, someone would need to go to the center of the magic circle to perform manual operations and continuously inject spiritual power to achieve the goal. He is a quiet person and has low strength. It is definitely not his turn to worry about such a matter that affects the lives of eight people. He only needs to wait silently for others to discuss it.
"Well, it seems that none of you are willing to be the first person?" After a long moment of silence, Wang Qing beside him took the lead to break the deadlock. With his character of being so happy, he definitely didn't want to recommend himself, but planned to recommend him. A leader comes out to take charge of the overall situation.
Hearing someone speak first, the attention of several people not far away finally focused on one place. Seeing this, Wang Qing also quickly continued: "Don't misunderstand me. Logically speaking, in this situation, I should have taken the initiative. I stand up to help you solve your problems. It's a pity that my mortal body is not strong enough to activate the spiritual power to operate the formation for a long time. Moreover, given my reputation, most of you don't dare to entrust me with such matters that are related to everyone's safety. Do."
Tianjihong stood aside silently and said nothing. As mentioned just now, he also learned from Wang Qing that the opening of the teleportation array requires someone at the core of the array to continuously inject spiritual power to control it; this also means that the person who is elected to preside over the operation of the array must have Only by gaining enough prestige and gaining everyone's trust and affirmation can one stand in such a position. Once the chosen one secretly uses some hands and feet to stop the supply of spiritual power when activating the formation, then the few people in the formation are likely to fall from the void halfway and be transported to the barren mountains and ridges of unknown places. between.
Of course, such a situation is basically unlikely to happen. After all, the life of the operator at the core of the formation is also bound to several other people. The difficulties encountered by several people outside in the void will also be encountered by him. No How many people would be willing to make fun of their own lives like this.
However, according to what Wang Qing said, there were indeed several rival forces in the past. Their disciples trained dead soldiers to cause trouble when the other party opened the teleportation array, which caused tragic consequences. This is also why when a large group of people arrive at a teleportation point, they sometimes fight for spots. After all, they don't want to risk the risk of outsiders getting mixed in during the teleportation. When many sects with deep foundations set out in large numbers, they would even privately use money to bribe other strangers traveling with them, asking them to wait for their troops to teleport before setting off.
Of course, most of the above mentioned are unguarded teleportation points left in the wilderness of the secret realm like now. As for the teleportation arrays that are open around the clock in major towns, all the forces in power in the region preside over the operation of the arrays. These forces have the ability to occupy one or even multiple teleportation points, all because their reputation is recognized by other monks in the martial arts world.
Except for a few desperate situations, generally speaking, even if they encounter their own hostile forces, the party that controls the teleportation array will never dare to secretly interfere in the activation of the array to avenge private revenge; once any force dares to do so, they will Being instantly sanctioned by other forces in the martial arts world, they will eventually lose the sovereignty of this teleportation point.
At present, it is obvious that unknown people like Wang Qing or himself are not recognized by other people to control the formation. Therefore, after Wang Qing looked around, he locked his eyes on the two women who had passed through Tianjihong before.
"Well, let's let the two fairies from [Qingluo Sect] take charge of the formation today, right? I guess with the reputation of your sect and the reputation of Seibu Continent, other people won't have any objections, right?" Wang Qing quickly scanned the formation. A few people around them then put on sincere expressions and looked at the two young women not far away.
The latter also frowned slightly after hearing Wang Qing's words. In fact, the two of them saw that among the other people, they did not appear like them again. They walked with their friends from the same sect and sect, and they were already prepared to step forward and take charge of the situation. In fact, even if Wang Qing hadn't spoken first, the two of them would have probably stepped forward in the end.
However, at this time, Wang Qing took the lead and brought the two of them to the spotlight in front of everyone else, and the nature of the situation changed subtly. The two women who were inexplicably pushed to the forefront of the limelight clearly did not have a good impression of Wang Qing at this moment. Therefore, the two people who originally planned to take the initiative to stand up unexpectedly stopped, and they were both He remained silent, as if he didn't want to talk to Wang Qing at all. It was obvious that the two wanted to undermine the latter's prestige. Later, when Wang Qing retreated in embarrassment, the two took over the conversation and appeared on the stage.
Wang Qing had already expected that the other party might do something like this. As a local snake with connections all over the Seibu Continent, he certainly knew that his actions of grabbing the limelight and bringing trouble to Dongshui would arouse the hostility of the other party. However, since he was well-prepared and dared to jump out in public like this, he had naturally been prepared for it.
"Haha, there is no need for the two fairies to be so hostile. I have no ill intentions. Looking at the green sandalwood tokens around their waists, they must be lay deacons of your sect, right? According to what I have heard, your sect has always been reclusive in the world and unwilling to participate. Due to the entanglements in the secular world, most of the disciples are restricted by the sect rules and are not allowed to leave the sect without authorization. It is very rare to see two fairies like Qingluo Sect traveling in the martial world."
"Therefore, I presume that as two fairy deacons, and as they can travel freely in and out of the sect, they must be extremely powerful and have a good status within the sect, and their cultivation is even more stable than the others present. It's up to you. It is really suitable for two people to be in charge of the operation of the formation. If we choose other people, I am afraid it will be difficult to be convinced by the strength and identity of the two fairies, right? Please stop shirk and guide me to complete the transmission earlier. Just keep going!”
It has to be said that Wang Qing has a good grasp of the appropriateness of speech. In addition to just the right amount of flattery, the words also pointed out the identity of the two people. This also made the two Qingluo Sect women understand that the Wang Qing who stood up now was not the unknown person they initially imagined. Someone who has the ability to easily reveal his origins is definitely not an ordinary person.
However, just relying on a few compliments and moral pressure was obviously not enough to convince the two. Then Wang Qing smiled slightly and continued: "I have the courage to apologize to the two fairies in advance. If there is any offense, please forgive me. I just overheard that Elder Xin of your sect was ordered to go to Tianjian Mountain a few days ago. On the way, he was seriously injured by Elder Shigure Muneaki, and the foundation of his spiritual practice was damaged."
"Judging from the behavior of the two fairies, I boldly guess that they must be here for the semi-annual auction of [Tianbao Pavilion] five days later, hoping to find the elixir that can reshape the foundation of spiritual practice and heal Elder Xin. I wonder if what I said is right?" Wang Qing didn't seem to care about the sudden change in the faces of the other two, and continued to tell such a secret with a nonchalant look.
"You...how did you know such a thing?" The two members of the Qingluo Sect finally found it difficult to maintain their previous silent posture. You must know that the news Wang Qing just said is a taboo within his sect. Previously, a conflict broke out between his disciple Elder Xin and people from the Shiyu Sect in the Tianjian Mountain for opportunities. After being seriously injured, he managed to escape back to the sect by luck. Later, more This news was completely blocked to avoid prying eyes from powerful enemies.
It stands to reason that the fight for this opportunity is limited to the two major forces of Qingluo Sect and Shigu Sect near Tianjian Mountain. During this period, except for the disciples of both parties in the dispute, it was impossible for outsiders to know such information. Now, I didn't expect that it would be leaked so easily from the mouth of an unknown guy. Apart from the faces of the two In addition to being extremely surprised, they all showed undisguised murderous intent.
But Wang Qing still looked at the two beauties with a smile as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he didn't realize that he was in danger. Seeing the two people in front of them pull out the soft swords with unkind expressions, and the spiritual energy around them gradually boiling, the former replied unhurriedly:
"Two fairies, please don't rush into action. This is purely hearsay. I have no intention of inquiring into your sect's privacy. It's just that I have admired the Qingluo Sect for a long time and have always been eager to have the opportunity to visit the head of your sect Luo. Today The reason why I tell these secrets in public is simply to help the two fairies overcome their difficulties."
