"I heard that there is civil strife in the royal family. I don't know the details and dare not say anything nonsense." The grandmaster relaxed his tone after being disturbed by the soul technique.
"There is civil strife in the royal family? Where is King Pei?"
"Long time no see"
"How can Luo enter the city?" Xue Tong asked.
The grandmaster guard and his ten-man team companions looked at each other for a few moments, shook their heads and said, "It's unthinkable. If seniors force their way in, we will have no choice but to risk our lives to call the police."
Xue Tong would not hurt anyone as he was responsible for guarding, so he was unwilling to leave just like that.
The main gate is tightly closed, and the auxiliary gates on both sides that allow narrow carriages to pass are piled with obstacles, and the towers on the wall are guarded by higher-level monks.
It is impossible to pass through the auxiliary door barrier quickly, and the floating warning will immediately give a warning of lightning and thunder.
Xue Tong smiled lightly, "It's none of your business!"
Suddenly it jumped into the sky and passed by the outside of the city tower.
The alert was triggered, and the eaves of the city tower suddenly exploded, and a blue thunder dragon jumped out.
The thunder dragon's scales were shining, and it flew towards Xue Tong ten feet away. The dragon's claws were raised high and waved impressively.
Xue Tong punched out.
The faint light of the fist hit the dragon's head silently.
"Bang!"
The giant dragon instantly shattered into pieces and turned into thousands of lightnings.
The towers were in pieces like rain, and countless cracks were cut into the rock walls.
The late commander of Tianren was dumbfounded on the spot. His cultivation was simply incapable of withstanding the Thunder Dragon's claw. Xue Tong casually said that he would win with one punch, causing him to stop chasing immediately.
The leader crushed the telegraph to call.
Xue Tong had flown ten miles away and landed in a deep courtyard.
At a glance, there are dense warnings and restrictions, indicating that the owner is either rich or noble, and his cultivation level is not low.
Xue Tong used some brute force and a slight movement of Jueying Step to climb over several courtyard walls.
If he makes a big noise at the city gate, he will be tracked. The turbulent flow of mana when he escapes will attract a large number of monks. There is minimal trace of brute force, so he is expected to escape.
Xue Tong's figure walked through the gardens, and there was a large patchwork of small courtyards in front of him.
We have arrived at the city area where ordinary monks gather.
Xue Tongxiao jumped into a dilapidated courtyard without a sound. There was no security in the courtyard. I guess the owner of the courtyard was of low status and had no need to guard against others.
Xue Tong hid in a pile of debris in the corner. If the guards searched for him, he would rush out of the city and give up.
…
Until dark, no one came near.
"No more checking? No time to take care of the outer city?" Xue Tong thought.
The King's City in the Spirit Realm covers a vast area and is divided into two parts: an inner city and an inner city. The royal palace in the inner city is two hundred miles away, and the diameter of the outer city is often three to four hundred miles wide.
Xue Tong flicked the airflow and banged the door of the stone house.
After a while, the middle-aged Xiantian monk appeared. He was shocked to see Xue Tong's cultivation level and his eyes widened.
"You and I are destined to be together, so don't panic. Let me ask you something." Xue Tong spoke calmly and asked about the dispute between the Maoli tribe and Pei State.
"Fifty years ago, after several years of negotiations between the Pei State and the Maoli Tribe, a conflict broke out. News spread that the Sword State was involved, and a mysterious force was involved."
"In the end, the Maoli people gave up 30% of their territory, and the Jian Kingdom occupied less than half of it. Including the Jingcong River Valley, most of it went to the Pei Kingdom." The middle-aged monk said.
"So Pei Guo won?"
"That's not necessarily the case. The high-ranking people of Pei State suffered huge losses, and conflicts broke out among the royal family. After several developments, the royal city was banned."
"Why ban?"
"I don't know, but it may be related to forcing the king to abdicate."
"Where are the mysterious forces?"
"The situation is unknown. There have been rumors for decades. The mysterious person is supporting the internal forces of the royal family to oppose King Pei."
Xue Tong connected the story and guessed the context: "The Stranger Gang coveted the position of Pei State and disrupted the conflict in the river valley. Taking advantage of the great loss of Pei State's strength, they surfaced and supported their puppet to come to power."
"Pei's country is in turmoil. I have no interest. I only want to see the excitement. You look disappointed, but your cultivation has encountered a bottleneck. There is no hope of advancement and no way to make money?" Xue Tong asked.
"This junior has made no progress in his ten years of cultivation, and there is no way out of the royal city, so we can only continue to endure." The middle-aged man said sadly.
"I will give you two spiritual objects and three spells."
Xue Tong picked five things as gifts. The spiritual things were things he had no time to sell. They were despised and were worth three to five million.
Xue Tong once founded a sect and knew the spells needed by Xiantian-level monks.
The middle-aged Xiantian took the storage bag and felt dizzy. He only had one thought in his mind: "Is this the legendary chance that comes from heaven?"
"Just practice in the stone house and watch the changes!" Xue Tong said again.
…
Two days later, in the early morning, a faint rumble could be heard.
Xue Tong came out of the house and saw fireworks being set off in the inner city from a distance. Soon the news came: "The new king has ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and officially succeeded to the throne after a year of mourning."
"Oh, the civil strife in the royal family has ended?" Xue Tong thought.
The royal city, which had been deserted for more than a month, suddenly became lively. Xue Tong changed his clothes and went out of the house, hiding his cultivation and blending into the crowd.
The taverns and tea shops were crowded. It was rumored that the late king had died a month ago and was succeeded by his unknown sixteenth son. The mourning has been kept secret to this day.
"I heard that the cultivators at the top of the Celestial Being forcefully broke into the city gate. Is there any news later?"
"There is no news. Maybe the new king was frightened by this, so he announced his succession."
"How did Old King Pei fall from the level of Martial Saint?"
"Shh~ don't talk nonsense!"
There was a lot of chatter in the tavern.
Staying at Xue Tong Inn, going out every once in a while, I learned that in the past few decades, King Pei, the Martial Saint, and the high-ranking prince of Heavenly Man had died successively, and the new king was recommended by his surname Hou Ye.
As for King Pei's death, it is rumored that he died suddenly due to losing control of his cultivation.
There were only a few believers, but no one dared to question it openly.
A more important rumor put Xue Tong in a bad mood, "In the battle of the river valley, the people of Qihu Village were the first to bear the brunt, and 70% of them died!"
Xue Tong purchased spiritual insects from the Maoli tribe and forced the Yiren Gang to retreat. Although it was not the main reason for Pei Guo's violent war, it was somehow related to it. Therefore, he did not want to face Maoli directly and changed his route to the royal city first.
Now that there was trouble in the royal city and he heard extremely depressing news, Xue Tong immediately thought of going to Maoli's territory.
Xue Tong went upstream along the Jingcong River.
The mountains and canyons on both sides of the bank are beautiful.
"Hoo~"
When the bomb was fired, Brother Maoli flew down the river embankment and blocked the way.
"Why did the Taoist trespass?" asked the Maoli people.
"I stopped keeping bees and started patrolling instead?" Xue Tong joked.
"Whether we keep bees or not is a matter for our clan. The Taoist Priest is not here just for the black bees."
"Do you know that the leader of Pei State has been replaced?"
Xue Tong's words immediately caused the Maoli people to curse loudly, and both the old and new King Pei would die badly.
"We knew a month ago that Mao Li and Pei were at odds with each other, and the new king was just a puppet of someone with a foreign surname." Leader Mao Li, who was fairly well-informed, said after scolding.
"Well, the country of Pei has a lot of blood debts. Where are the people from Qihu Village in the river valley? Luo had dealt with the village leader and deputy village leader in the early years." Xue Tong asked.
The Maoli man looked miserable: "The leader of the village is dead and the deputy leader is missing."
"Why don't we go to the village and have a chat? Luo wants to inquire about a few other people." Xue Tong said.
His martial arts level was several levels higher, and it was difficult for Brother Mao Li to refuse.
Xue Tong asked for new information in Tuoyan Village: Qihu Village no longer existed, and more than 10,000 surviving people were scattered to various tribes. Tuoyan took in a thousand people; the deputy leader of the village, Ge Jia, was missing, and it was suspected that his body fell into the Jing Dynasty. Washed away by the Gonghe River.
"Where is the main village?" Xue Tong asked.
"The main village has lost nine elders," the leader of Tuoyan Village said sadly.
"Luo heard that there was an elder named Fang Tianhua."
"Elder Fang left the main stronghold before the war started. He got the Heavenly Corpse Spirit Insect in exchange for it. Rumors spread that it would be difficult to stay for a long time."
"Where did Elder Fang go?" Xue Tong asked.
The leader of Tuoyan Village immediately became alert and turned his eyes silently.
"Luo just wants to buy some toxins, not talking about Elder Fang!"
Xue Tong took the bag of spirit stones and said: "Luo was once favored by Qihu Village. He wants to give these 20 million spirit stones to the people of Qihu Village. Can you please call some representatives to meet me?"
…
Xue Tong asked from Qihu's mouth that both Hao Zhuang and Lan Ling died and were buried on the bank of Jingcong River.
Xue Tong felt sad because the war in Jing Cong was not caused by him, but the Maoli people he knew well either died or disappeared, and the ending was not good.
This made him no longer interested in exploring Mao Li's territory. If he found Fang Tian's bone puppet, he would be promoted faster, and if he couldn't find Zhao, he would grow up properly.
Xue Tong lost his target.
Reminds me of the second crop of lavender planted that year.
…
A whole bag of corpse fumigation is enough for corpse insects to feed for two hundred years.
Xue Tong has no interest in hatching centipedes and raising corpse insects.
Just practice the exercises in the cave and lay a solid foundation.
After taking more than a hundred ancient elixirs, there are no more hidden dangers.
In the following year, he used two pills of tonic elixir to refine the four-turn four-turn...
Cultivation is the foundation of everything, and Xue Tong has enough resources at hand to continue practicing.
His most formidable opponents, Ge Lin Qing and Baboon Dun, are both late-stage martial saints and need to be chased as soon as possible.
It was fifteen years later that Xue Tong finished eating the remaining two elixirs and the elixir of the heavenly and human stages.
After five rounds of refinement at the peak of Fahai, we are approaching the Martial Saint's entrance!
It's time to refine the elixir again.
It is necessary to find an extremely remote and desolate place so that the elixir is not easily discovered.
"Brother Jiu, where should Xue go?" Xue Tong spread out the map and asked.
The tip of the vulture's wings made several gestures in the western part of Muzhou.
…
The western part of Muzhou is dry and windy, desolate and sparsely populated.
Xue Tong has been observing on an eagle for several days.
The vulture suddenly swooped sideways and flew over the mountains more than a hundred miles high.
In the open sandy land ahead, a wounded demon leopard roared and ran wildly, while a group of men and women dressed in animal skins shouted to hurry up.
The leopard is ten feet long, with earthy yellow spots all over its body, and blood flowing from its back.
Suddenly, a huge wood-grained sword appeared in mid-air and fell with one slash.
The demon leopard howled for a while, and its skull rolled to the ground.
Xue Tong jumped off the vulture's back, and the man and woman in animal skin looked at the dead leopard with great reluctance.
"You guys, take the leopard."
Xue Tong put away the Kuimu sword and said.
In the early stage of Monster Leopard Celestial Being, Xue Tong had no interest. Besides, others hurt Leopard first, so he had no intention of fighting for it.
"Thank you, senior!"
The men and women in the animal skins happily collected the leopard carcass. One of the elders said: "We are from Wangpo Village two hundred miles away. We set up an ambush today, and our seniors took action. Finally, our hard work was not in vain."
"Wangpo Village? There are mountains of gravel and dirt for thousands of miles around, and the resources are poor. How can you build a village here?"
Xue Tong was extremely sensitive and asked curiously.
"The village of Wangpo has been built for thousands of years, and the monsters and monsters on the dry land can be maintained by the villagers. If they grow some magical herbs and elixirs, their lives will be hard and dull, but there will be few disturbances." The elder said.
"Yeah, okay, just enjoy yourself." Xue Tong jumped on the back of the vulture and said.
Unexpectedly, the eagle had no intention of leaving.
This made Xue Tong feel that this place might not be simple.
The older man took the initiative to say goodbye and led the team away.
…
"Brother Jiu thinks Wangpo Village is weird?" Xue Tong asked.
The eagle nodded.
"How can I see it?"
The eagle took several deep breaths.
"Is there something strange about the smell?"
Xue Tong's sensitivity in some aspects is no longer as good as that of Li Xuan's consciousness, which has greatly awakened.
