All the people suspended in the sky of the Mercenary City are the top leaders of the Mercenary City, and they are elder-level figures. The ones with the lowest strength among them are all in the realm of the Holy King.
"Great Elder, what exactly happened..."
"My mercenary city is protected by the power of the barrier and is indestructible. How could it become like this now..."
"Could it be that the barrier power protecting my mercenary city has disappeared..."
…
Looking at the thick cracks all over the city below, the top executives of the Mercenary City started talking. Regarding the changes in the Mercenary City, all of them were filled with endless doubts and deep curiosity, mixed with them. There was also a little inexplicable fear and panic.
The great elder of the Mercenary City stared at the thick cracks all over the streets and alleys with an extremely solemn expression. He was also confused for a while. He didn't know what happened in the Mercenary City and why the current situation occurred.
Suddenly, Tianjian seemed to realize something, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "Did something happen to the spirit of the barrier?" When he thought of this possibility, Tianjian's face suddenly became gloomy. The barrier spirit was left by Mo Tianyun back then. Its existence is of great significance to the mercenary city. It is a veritable patron saint of the mercenary city. If something happened to the barrier spirit, That would definitely be an extremely heavy blow to the mercenary city.
"It's a pity that I can't take the initiative to communicate with the spirit of the barrier. I don't know what happened in our mercenary city. It would be great if Jian Chen was here. But a big war just broke out in the direction of the Zongheng Mountains. There was an orc saint The emperor's strong men are involved. It seems that the two beast race strong men around Jian Chen and the Holy Emperor of the Beast God Continent have another conflict. If this is the case, then Jian Chen should be nearby." Jian secretly thought in his heart that when he felt the battle breaking out in the Zongheng Mountains before, he had wanted to go and take a look, but the mercenary city suddenly experienced a big shock, forcing him to stay.
At this moment, several huge auras came from outside the Mercenary City, flying toward the direction of the Mercenary City at lightning speed.
Tian Jian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the aura was coming from. A smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Jian Chen came at the right time. Now I need him to communicate with the spirit of the barrier. Look what happened in my mercenary city."
Jian Chen, Huston, Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian were flying side by side from a distance. Looking at the giant barrier covering the mercenary city, their eyes became a little complicated. The eyes of Houston, Ruijin, Heiyu, and Honglian revealed a hint of respect, which was respect for the strong.
Because they all knew that the little girl whose strength had surpassed the realm of the Holy Emperor just now was the spirit transformed by the barrier in front of her.
Regarding Xiao Ling's true identity, Jian Chen did not elaborate. In his opinion, it no longer mattered whether Xiao Ling was the spirit of the earth or the spirit of the barrier.
"There is a lot of panic in the Mercenary City right now. It seems like something big happened here." From a distance, Jian Chen noticed something strange in the Mercenary City, and a hint of worry suddenly appeared on his brows.
Soon, Jian Chen and the others gathered together with a group of elders from the Mercenary City. The two parties exchanged a few hasty greetings before getting down to business.
"Senior Tianjian, I wonder what happened in the Mercenary City and why it became such a mess." Jian Chen looked at the panicked Mercenary City and asked in a deep voice.
"We don't know what happened. If we want to know the situation now, we can only ask the spirit of the barrier. Jian Chen, you have a close relationship with the spirit of the barrier in our mercenary city. I hope you can get along with the spirit of the barrier." The Spirit of the Barrier needs to communicate and ask what happened in our mercenary city." Tianjian said with a solemn expression.
"I'll give it a try!" Jian Chen replied, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart because he thought of some secret events that Mo Tianyun had told him.
Afterwards, Jian Chen softly called Xiao Ling's name several times, but this time, he didn't get any response.
Jian Chen's mood became more solemn. Now, he is more and more sure that the guess in his heart is probably correct. Such a change happened in the Mercenary City for no reason. In addition, Xiaoling's previous gaffe made him think of being suppressed by the Mercenary City. There is probably something wrong with the seal below.
"Senior Tianjian, there is nothing I can do this time." Jian Chen was a little disappointed, his brows were full of worry, and he was deeply worried about Xiao Ling's safety in his heart.
"Alas!" Tianjian let out a long sigh, looked up at the huge barrier that still existed in the sky, and frowned tightly. The Mercenary City has gone through countless years of ups and downs from the beginning until now, but it has never experienced such changes as today.
The light in Jian Chen's eyes flickered for a while, and he was hesitating in his heart whether to tell Tianjian and others about the seal, so that they could be prepared.
At this moment, an invisible force suddenly appeared around Jian Chen's body. Then, without waiting for Jian Chen to react, it directly bound Jian Chen's body tightly and dragged it to the ground like lightning.
"Jian Chen!" Ruijin exclaimed, and his body immediately turned into an afterimage and chased after Jian Chen, trying to catch Jian Chen.
However, Jian Chen fell extremely fast, and even with Ruijin's strength, he was too late to rescue him. In an instant, Jian Chen was dragged from the air to the ground by this invisible force, and then he was in the jaw-dropping crowd. In his gaze, he disappeared directly into the ground without leaving any trace on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Ruijin, Heiyu, Honglian, and Huston all changed. The four of them looked at each other, and then they landed on the ground at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding, wanting to blast away the ground and rescue Jian Chen. Come out.
"Wait a minute, everyone!" Tianjian stopped the actions of Ruijin and the others, and said, "You guys don't have to worry, there are spirit spirits guarding our mercenary city, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to hurt Jian Chen here. And Jian Chen has a close relationship with the Spirit of Formation, so I guess that this time it is very likely that the Spirit of Formation brought Jian Chen into the underground."
After hearing this, Ruijin, Heiyu, Honglian and Huston immediately calmed down, and then re-suspended in the sky and quietly waited for Jian Chen to come out.
Jian Chen's body was dragged down by a mysterious force, and the mud he encountered along the way was pushed to both sides, leaving Jian Chen's body untouched by any mud.
Jian Chen has already experienced this scene once. He knew that this was Xiao Ling's method, so he acted very calmly and allowed his body to be enveloped by that power without making any resistance.
Soon, Jian Chen came to the depths of the ground. All he could see was darkness, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Even with Jian Chen's eyesight, he couldn't see anything here clearly.
Jian Chen subconsciously spread his spiritual consciousness, but with his current powerful spiritual consciousness, it can only spread less than a kilometer here. There is a mysterious force suppressing his spiritual power here.
But with the help of his spiritual sense, Jian Chen also knew that he was currently in a huge space deep underground.
"The energy here is much thinner than the last time I came here." Jian Chen was secretly shocked. Now he still clearly remembers that the last time he was brought here by Xiao Ling, the energy here was so rich. It has formed a liquid. It has only been a few years, but the energy has become so thin and the rate of loss has reached a staggering level.
At this moment, a ball of white light suddenly appeared in this dark world, illuminating this dark world.
"Little Spirit!" When Jian Chen saw the white light clearly, he immediately let out an exclamation.
This white light was emitted by Xiao Ling's body. At this moment, Xiao Ling's body was very illusory, as if it were a human figure made of light.
Now Xiao Ling is no longer as lively as before. There are two lines of clearly visible tears on her cute and childish little face. Her face is full of fear, as if she has been frightened by something.
Seeing Xiao Ling acting like this, Jian Chen's heart ached for no reason, and he asked with concern: "Xiao Ling, what's wrong with you, what happened."
"Wow..." Suddenly, Xiao Ling burst into tears, threw herself into Jian Chen's arms and cried loudly, hugging Jian Chen tightly with her arms.
"Little Ling, please don't cry. First, tell big brother what happened." Jian Chen hugged Xiao Ling's petite body and comforted him softly. Although Xiao Ling's body was made of energy, this energy was almost Substantial, so when Jian Chen's arms hugged Xiao Ling's body, it felt the same as hugging a flesh-and-blood person. The only difference was that Xiao Ling's body had no temperature.
"Big brother...Big brother...Xiao Ling is so scared...Xiao Ling is so scared. Master, Master, where are you? Come back quickly. Xiao Ling is really scared." Xiao Ling cried in Jian Chen's arms. shouted, greatly frightened.
Looking at Xiao Ling's crying face, Jian Chen also felt pity and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ling, there is a big brother here, don't worry, the big brother will protect you. "
Jian Chen comforted Xiao Ling for a long time before finally calming him down, and then asked: "Xiao Ling, tell me honestly, is there something wrong with the seal?"
Xiao Ling wiped the tears on her face, nodded fiercely, and said, "Yes, big brother, someone ran out of the seal..." Xiao Ling's words stopped abruptly, and she immediately covered it with her hands. With his own mouth, he said in a vague tone: "No, Xiao Ling cannot tell it. The master has said that Xiao Ling is not allowed to tell anyone."
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Ling, big brother met your master back then. Your master has told big brother everything here. There is a seal deep underground in the mercenary city. The sealed It’s the entrance to the Abandoned Saint Realm, are you right, big brother?”
Xiao Ling's bright and innocent little eyes stared at Jian Chen without blinking, and nodded her little head twice, which was equivalent to admitting what Jian Chen said.
"Xiao Ling, even your master told big brother all this, so you shouldn't continue to hide it like big brother. Be good and tell big brother what happened here, okay." Jian Chen said.
"Okay, but big brother must promise not to tell anyone else. The master didn't allow me to tell this matter back then." Xiao Ling said seriously.
Jian Chen nodded and said nothing.
Next, Xiao Ling told Jian Chen truthfully what happened here, without any concealment. When Jian Chen learned that a peerless expert from the Holy Abandoned World was attacking the seal, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Xiao Ling, how powerful is the person who attacked the seal in the Holy Abandoned World? Can you defeat him?" Jian Chen asked with a nervous look on his face. At this moment, his heart was in his throat.
Xiao Ling shook his head without hesitation and said: "Brother, that person is very powerful. The master set up two seals here, one on the other side and one here, and that person just made one move. The seal set by the master on the other side was broken, and if the seal on this side had not been maintained by Xiao Ling with all his strength, it would have been broken by that person. In order to maintain the seal on this side just now, Xiao Ling not only used the energy accumulated for many years After all, even his own strength has been consumed. If that person attacks a few more times, Xiao Ling will definitely not be able to hold on."
