Seeing these strong men approaching and feeling their murderous intent, Li Xiuping felt despair at this moment, because in his current state, it was impossible to block the attacks of so many strong men, even if he used the remaining immortal treasures If it explodes, it will also lead to death.
Huitian Panshu, this is obviously a dead end.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, covering all of Li Xiuping and others.
As this beam of light appeared, the powerful men in the Star Observation Tower who originally attacked Li Xiuping and others were instantly blocked by the beam of light.
The next moment, the entire light column exploded, and a majestic energy centered on Li Xiuping and rushed out in all directions, forcing the strong men in the Star Observation Tower to retreat again and again.
Immediately afterwards, figures appeared out of thin air one after another. One of them, a one-armed old man, was the city lord of Emperor Wu City!
After the Lord of Emperor Wu City appeared, he asked, "Are you all okay?"
No one answered. It didn't make any sense to say that it was okay.
Li Xiuping asked: "Why is the City Lord here?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City said: "I received intelligence yesterday that a large number of powerful people from the Star Observation Tower suddenly appeared, and their target was Maple Leaf City. So after settling the situation in Emperor Emperor City, we rushed over overnight, but we didn't expect that we were still a step too late. .”
Li Xiuping nodded.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "You should return to Maple Leaf City first, and I will resolve the situation here first and then explain it to you in detail."
Li Xiuping nodded and continued to return to Maple Leaf City with the remaining people.
At this moment, the entire Maple Leaf City was in chaos. Countless monks were holding magic weapons and standing on the city tower, constantly attacking the incoming black energy. Countless armored soldiers continued to shoot arrows to resist the attack of the black energy. However, there was too much black energy, and many of them had already broken through the defenses and entered the city.
As soon as Li Xiuping and others were in the process, countless black energy rushed directly towards them.
Li Xiuping snorted coldly, and the remaining bamboo slips rose directly into the sky. The Taoist fairy treasure was also directly driven by Li Xiuping. Under the influence of the two phases, the black energy was directly dispersed on the spot.
It was so miserable before, Li Xiuping was already angry, and now that he met these guys, he naturally became the target of Li Xiuping's anger.
After returning to the city, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, a team quickly rushed over and protected the group of people from retreating to a safe location.
Although there are battles in the city, compared to the battles outside the city, they are almost negligible, because even the Golden Core Stage monks can deal with the situation with ease, while the battles outside the city are easy for even the Tribulation Stage masters to deal with. There is a possibility of death.
Li Xiuping was seriously injured when he blew up the fairy treasure earlier, which is the best proof.
Those fireball attacks were actually easy to deal with. The most terrifying thing was the attack that knocked Li Xiuping and others to the ground. Its power had almost reached the immortal level. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to directly destroy the Fangzhen Ruler, or even destroy it. Those bamboo slips and the copper bowl were all affected, and everyone's lives were barely saved.
However, although the enemies outside the city are powerful, with the city lord of Emperor Wu personally standing guard and so many strong men in Emperor Wu, Maple Leaf City should be safe for the time being.
After Li Xiuping returned to his residence, he ignored the fighting outside and sat down cross-legged to nurse his injuries.
Although the previous offensive was blocked by the immortal treasures, those immortal treasures were driven by Li Xiuping. If the immortal treasures were damaged, Li Xiuping, who drove the immortal treasures, naturally bore the brunt. This is why many golden elixir stage monks were able to survive after that blow. When he came down, Li Xiuping was seriously injured.
If it weren't for the fact that the willow tree happened to be completely restored, if it weren't for the fact that he successfully condensed the Yuan Dan and fused it with the dragon soul, under the previous offensive, even with the immortal treasure defense, Li Xiuping would have been hard-pressed to survive. Come down.
As Li Xiuping sat down cross-legged, a dragon soul suddenly appeared behind him, and then wicker sticks grew out of thin air where he sat. These wicker sticks continued to wrap around his body, and soon they would His whole body was wrapped in it.
Thunderbolts appeared out of thin air and exploded in the room.
As time went on, the wickers began to retract, and Li Xiuping, wrapped in the wickers, also reappeared.
Compared with before, Li Xiuping's face looked much better at this moment. He took the first one to take off the wine bottle from his waist and took a sip. After swallowing, he waited for a while, then took a second sip, and continued to drink three sips. After drinking, Li Xiuping took out some more elixirs and drank them. Then he closed his eyes again and guided the power of the medicine and the wine to repair his body.
Li Xiuping didn't know how long this process lasted. After he had absorbed all the medicine and wine, he stood up and pushed out the door. He found that the battle was over. Smoke billowed around Maple Leaf City, and countless people in the city were busy cleaning the battlefield.
The layman Qingming has been in front of Li Xiuping's door. Now he asked: "Are you okay?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "I was lucky enough to save a life."
Without waiting for Master Qingming to speak, Li Xiuping asked: "What's the situation now?"
Layman Qingming replied: "It has calmed down. Although the losses in Emperor Wu City are not small, the Star Observation Tower has also been severely damaged this time. There should be no further action in a short time."
Li Xiuping nodded.
The layman Qingming continued: "Seeing that you have been silent, the people in Emperor Wu City can't wait for you and have gone back first, but let me give this thing to you."
With that said, a jade tablet containing information was handed to Li Xiuping.
After Li Xiuping took it, he nodded and asked, "Are everyone else okay?"
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "My life is not serious, but it will be difficult to continue refining elixirs and forging swords."
Li Xiuping nodded, then injected his spiritual consciousness into the jade tablet, and the information in the jade tablet appeared in his mind.
There is not much information. It probably means that the Star Observation Tower and the demons will not pose any threat to Maple Leaf City for the time being. Li Xiuping and others can continue to stay in Maple Leaf City. There is also some information about the situation in Emperor Wu City.
According to the city owner of Emperor Wu City, Emperor City of Emperor Wu can only support it for about three more months at most. After that, the battle line will be gathered here, and then defenses will be set up along the lines of Maple Leaf City and Guiling Sect to continue to resist the demons. Let Li Xiuping take this jade token and make some preparations for the formation of the second line of defense.
In the end, I just hoped that Li Xiuping could help take care of He Feng. As for the situation related to He Feng, he didn't mention a word.
After understanding all the information, Li Xiuping let out a breath, put away the jade token, and said bitterly: "I originally thought of not interfering, but now the Lord of the City just put the duck on the shelf and didn't want to let me go. Meaning."
As for the situation on the jade plaque, the people in Emperor Wu City should have told the layman Qingming, so the layman Qingming did not ask, but it seemed that everything was clear to him.
Just at this time, a Nascent Soul Stage monk ran over and said with a smile: "Master Li is finally fine."
Li Xiuping didn't know this person, but the Nascent Soul stage monks in Maple Leaf City must all have important responsibilities, so he asked: "What does this senior have to do with you?"
The man nodded, then took out a scroll and asked, "Master Li, please help me to see if the things on it can be cast."
With that said, he unfolded the scroll and presented it in front of Li Xiu Pingming.
Li Xiuping looked at the scroll and saw some drawings drawn on it, probably of bows and crossbows. The drawing skills were superb.
Li Xiuping asked: "Can this thing deal with monsters?"
The Yuanying stage monk nodded and said: "If it is used with true energy, it can have a huge effect and can kill monsters below the Yuanying stage."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown slightly and stared at the drawings on the scroll carefully again.
Even Nascent Soul stage monsters can be killed directly. If such weapons can be produced in batches, it will be of great help in fighting against the demons.
After Li Xiuping looked at it for a while, he said, "I still need to study this thing. Can it..."
The Nascent Soul Stage monk smiled and said: "This was originally given to Mr. Li. All the weapon refiners in Maple Leaf City basically have a copy, but most of the weapon refiners seem to be unable to cast it, so this I just want Mr. Li to take a look."
Li Xiuping nodded, put the scroll away, and asked casually: "Where did you get this?"
The Nascent Soul Stage monk shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard it was sent from the west."
Li Xiuping nodded and stopped asking.
After the Nascent Soul Stage monk left, Li Xiuping handed the scroll to Layman Qingming and asked, "Senior, have you seen this thing before?"
Layman Qingming took the scroll and unfolded it. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before."
As he spoke, he put away the scroll and was about to hand it to Li Xiuping. He seemed to suddenly remember something and unfolded it again, saying: "When I traveled around the world, I saw something similar in the Great Zhou Empire."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiuping, who happened to be looking at him too.
The layman Qingming continued: "Didn't you work in the Night Travel Department before?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Senior, are you saying that this thing comes from the Night Travel Division?"
Layman Qingming nodded and said, "It's almost the same."
When Li Xiuping mentioned the Night Travel Division, what came to Li Xiuping's mind was Gao Yunmian in a bright red dress. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that the Night Travel Division is far from as simple as I thought."
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "Many people only know that the Night Travel Division relies on the Great Zhou royal family. In fact, few people know that the Night Walk Division already existed before the Great Zhou royal family was established. This is why the Night Walk Division is affiliated with the Great Zhou Dynasty. The royal family is not subject to the influence of the Great Zhou royal family, and even the appointment of some officials of the Great Zhou royal family requires the nod of Ye Xingsi."
He looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "You don't know any of this?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and asked, "Should I know?"
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "You are not only a member of the Night Travel Division, but also a junior uncle of the Guanchao Academy. You should know about it. After all, many things about the Night Travel Division are recorded in the Guanchao Academy, and the Guanchao Academy is closely related to In fact, the Night Travel Division has always had a lot of contacts."
Li Xiuping was stunned. Unexpectedly, just because he underestimated Ye Xingsi, even Guanchao Academy had such secrets.
If what layman Qingming said is true, then the fact that Ye Xingsi is connected with Guanchao Academy is enough to show that the energy possessed by Yexingsi is not inferior to that of the Seven Holy Disciples, but is probably no less than that of the Nine Sects.
When he was in Yunzhou, Li Xiuping only felt that Ye Xingsi was a secular force, and no matter how powerful the secular forces were, they could not defeat the power of the imperial royal family, and even the secular dynasty could not compete with the immortal sect on the mountain. .
But after arriving in Piaoxue City and Emperor Wu City, Li Xiuping realized that some forces established in the secular world were no worse than the Immortal Sect on the mountain, or even worse.
The Nine Gates and Eight Sages, the Seven Saints and Four Cities, the Three Mountains and Two Immortals, the Four Cities after the Three Mountains, are built in the secular world, and Ye Xingsi should be a similar existence, and Li Xiuping felt that forces like Ye Xingsi By no means in the minority.
In fact, this is not something difficult to understand. This world is so big. The so-called Nine Sects and Eight Sages, Seven Saints and Four Cities, Three Mountains and Two Immortals, and the so-called hidden sects are actually just used to represent this on the surface. It's just a division of power in the world, and apart from these apparent strengths, there must be many unknown ones.
However, what Li Xiuping couldn't figure out was that if the Yehang Division could really be comparable to a force like the Nine Sects, why Gao Yunmian, the Young Master of the Night Division, had such low cultivation level.
According to common sense, with Ye Xingsi's background and Gao Yunmian's identity, Gao Yunmian can be smashed into a strong man even with all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but the last time he saw Gao Yunmian , Gao Yunmian has just entered the golden elixir stage.
Of course, although he is a member of the Night Travel Division, he was actually stuffed into the Night Walk Division by Gao Yun because of Mr. Ouye. He knows nothing about many things in the Night Walk Division, so is there any reason for this? Of course, he didn't know what the secret was.
The layman Qingming asked: "Can you cast this thing?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It seems a bit complicated, but since there are blueprints, it shouldn't be difficult to cast it. The key is to cast this thing. The materials required are probably not easy to obtain."
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "If this thing can really fight against monsters at the Nascent Soul stage, Emperor Wu City will definitely find a way to get it for you."
Li Xiuping smiled and nodded, saying: "That's true."
After Li Xiuping put away the drawings, he said, "Let's have something to eat first, and then go see what other people think."
At this point, he sighed and said: "The city lord didn't ask me to cast it. He clearly wanted me to lead more people to cast it. Senior, believe it or not, in a few days, there will be a large number of people." Are alchemists and weapon refiners brought to Maple Leaf City?"
Master Qingming frowned and said, "But didn't he ask you to prepare for the second line of defense?"
Li Xiuping shook the drawing in his hand and said, "This is also one of the preparations for the defense line."
Master Qingming understood instantly and nodded with a smile.
Indeed, if this thing can be cast and then equipped, the pressure on this second line of defense will be greatly reduced, and Li Xiuping now has to act on behalf of the city lord and unite all forces on this line of defense to form a defense line. , naturally there is no time to cast this thing in batches, so as Li Xiuping said, the supporter in Emperor Wu City did not ask Li Xiuping to cast this thing, but asked Li Xiuping to lead more people to cast this thing.
After those weapon refiners were able to cast this thing, Li Xiuping naturally needed to deal with all the forces on this line. On behalf of the Lord of Emperor Wu City, he established this second line of defense and at most only Three months.
Li Xiuping simply ate something, and then went to the place where alchemy and sword making were made. The alchemy masters and weapon refiners were still the same ones as before, which were the ones Li Xiuping had saved, but now the number of people was reduced by half. Either he was dead or he was seriously injured and could not continue to refine elixirs and forge swords.
Now that the crisis in Maple Leaf City has been resolved, these alchemists and weapon refiners will naturally continue to refine elixirs and magic weapons for Martial Emperor City to ensure that the defense line of Martial Emperor City can be sustained for a longer period of time.
The alchemists were all refining elixirs, but the swordsmiths were all gathered in the hall at the moment, and what they were discussing was the blueprint just sent from Emperor Wu City.
Seeing Li Xiuping walking in, everyone stood up and saluted at the same time.
Compared to the first time they met, these guys with higher eyesight are now very polite to Li Xiuping, not only because Li Xiuping really made them improve in the level of weapon refining, but also because in In the previous battle, Li Xiuping saved their lives.
One of the weapon refiners was the first to speak: "Seeing that Mr. Li is fine, we feel relieved. This time we fight against the demons, we can do without anyone, but we really cannot do without Mr. Li."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Forget it about flattering me. If I were really that powerful, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed before, and I wouldn't have barely recovered until now."
Everyone just smiled.
Li Xiuping continued: "You should have seen that drawing. What do you think?"
Everyone stopped smiling and looked at each other in confusion. After a while, one person said: "Although there are drawings, the workmanship of this thing is exquisite and complicated. Is there a finished product that I can observe, if I want to cast it..."
Having said this, he shook his head.
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I've seen it too. It's really difficult to successfully cast it."
It was hard to see Li Xiuping, and everyone didn't know whether to be happy or regretful for a moment.
Li Xiuping continued: "As for this thing, please let it go for a while. As before, we will refine some magic weapons and send them to Emperor Wu City. I will study this thing first and cast it as much as possible. When the time comes, With the finished product, you can also have a reference."
Everyone nodded at the same time, bowed to Li Xiu, and then walked out of the hall to continue refining the magic weapon.
The reason why they are sitting here studying this drawing is because Li Xiuping was seriously injured in the previous battle, and the battle with the demons was imminent, so they were allowed to try it first. Now that Li Xiuping has recovered , then this kind of thing naturally has to be left to Li Xiuping to worry about...
Some people died, but not completely...
