A young man wearing white clothes with black lines on his clothes stood in front of the door of Xiang Mansion. He looked at the closed vermilion door, touched his forehead, and said with a confused look on his face, "How do you get in? Who put this Is the formation activated?"
About three meters outside the gate, there is a transparent light film, which emits extremely powerful fluctuations. It should be that the Xiang Mansion's palace protection formation has been activated.
He couldn't help but have some doubts. The interrogation when entering the city was particularly strict, and there were many more guards patrolling the streets than before. What was wrong?
"How about attacking the palace-protecting formation and letting the people inside come out?" He murmured to himself.
"Eh? Fang Chou?!" Just as the young man was hesitating, an extremely surprising voice suddenly came from behind him, and this voice contained a deep surprise.
Fang Li heard the sound and looked back. It was a stunning person wearing a blue dress with white stripes. Her blue hair hung in waves on the back of her head. Her skin was fair and her bright face was enough to amaze ghosts and gods.
At this time, she gently covered her small round mouth with her beautiful hands, and there was some surprise and joy in her smart blue eyes.
"Sister Bing Xin," Fang Li was also stunned, and then said in surprise.
"Oh my god! You're still alive!" Jing Bingxin took two steps forward, reached out and pinched Fang Li's face, and then pinched her own face again. The shocked expression on her face slowly dissipated.
"Do you really want me to die?" Fang Li's mouth twitched and he said helplessly.
"No, no, I...I didn't mean that, I was just too surprised!" Jing Bingxin waved her hands quickly, with a hint of panic on her face, and then a smile appeared on her face.
Fang Li couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know what happened. I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to survive again."
"Someone should have saved you." Jing Bing said thoughtfully, and then she added: "Let's find a place to sit down first. I have something to tell you about Yun'er."
"Yun'er? What happened to her?" Fang Li was stunned and asked immediately.
"Nothing happened to her, but something happened to the Lin family." Jing Bingxin walked towards a teahouse, and a faint voice came from the front.
Fang Li's eyes flashed with anxiety and he immediately followed.
In the small private room, Jing Bingxin did not speak first, but poured a cup of tea for Fang Li, pushed the cup in front of him, and said: "You are too anxious, just calm down first, I am afraid that this matter is not something you can do." Intervened."
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was extremely bitter in the mouth, but it also had a mellow aroma and a long aftertaste. After just a small sip, his mood seemed to calm down a lot.
"Baibingye has a calming effect." Jing Bingxin also took a sip and said softly.
"Then what happened to the Lin family?" Fang Li put down his cup and asked.
Jing Bingxin's hand trembled, causing the tea in the cup to ripple. There was some hesitation in her eyes. After a moment, she said: "The Lin family has been exterminated."
"Destroyed? How is that possible?" Fang Li's eyes widened instantly, with a look of shock on his face.
No matter how sluggish the Lin family is, it is still a powerful family with two people in the Nine Heavens realm! Looking at the entire empire, there are many branch families, and their power is strong enough to rank among the top forces. How can you say that it will be gone without them?
"It's the Three Sects Alliance, oh no, it's called Chaotian Pavilion now. They attacked the Lin family so suddenly during the imperial examination that the Lin family couldn't even raise the clan defense formation." Jing Bingxin explained.
"During the imperial examination...could it be because Yun'er killed those three guys?" Fang Li was a little confused, and then asked: "Then the damage to Chaotian Pavilion was not small, right? Two Jiutian A death-defying counterattack can at least replace one of them."
"The reason is not clear, but the strange thing is that the three Nine Heavens experts in Chaotian Pavilion are intact." Jing Bing said in his heart.
"How is this...possible!?" Fang Li was stunned again, his tone full of surprise, and then asked: "Where did Yun'er go?"
"She...went to Huanglai County, where she could integrate the remaining strength of the Lin family and plan for the future." Jing Bingxin hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
"Huanglai County." Fang Li's eyes flickered slightly. Huanglai County is located in the southeast of the empire, nearly ten thousand miles away from Ning'an City, so it is relatively safe.
"I will set off tomorrow and rush to Huanglai County." Fang Li clenched his fists and said. The Lin family has suffered such a disaster, and she, who has always cared about the family, will not be in a good mood. This time, I will not let you bear it alone.
"You are not allowed to go." Just as Jing Bingxin was about to speak, an old man wearing a black and blue robe suddenly appeared in the empty space in the room and said in a deep voice.
"Grandpa?" Fang Li's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he asked again: "Why?"
"The destruction of the Lin family is not as simple as you think. The implications behind it are very big." Xiang Tian said.
"How big can it be?" Fang Li asked.
Xiang Tian looked at him deeply, then walked away, "At least... my Xiang family doesn't dare to interfere."
The remaining two people, Jing Bingxin and Fang Li, fell silent because of Xiang Tian's words. Is the matter actually so complicated? The Xiang family, which is as powerful as the top power in the empire, doesn't dare to wade into this muddy water?
"Your grandpa is right. With your strength, you really can't do much good." Jing Bingxin said after a moment.
"There are five sects in the Mysterious Realm, namely Huaxu, Shiyuan, Tianyuan, Kaitian and Tongtian. You are only strong in the Huaxu sect now. If you go there, you will be courting death. It is better to seize the time to improve your strength." Jing Bingxin persuaded him.
"But, Yun'er alone..." Fang Li still had hesitation in his eyes.
"Oh... Is she that important in your heart?" Jing Bingxin sighed, and then said: "If you have a way to avoid being caught by your grandfather, I can take you there."
Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Fang Li's lips. Wouldn't Grandpa catch him? This is just a joke! Grandpa is a veritable semi-saint strong man!
"It's not impossible to leave if you want. If you can reach Tianyuan Gate within two months, I will let you go." Xiang Tian's voice suddenly reached Fang Li's ears.
Fang Li's eyes lit up at first, but then he frowned. He had just arrived at the Huaxu Sect. It was already extremely difficult to break through the Shiyuan Sect within two months, let alone the Tianyuan Sect? This condition is quite difficult...
"What's wrong?" Jing Bingxin saw his expression and asked doubtfully.
"Grandpa just said that if I can reach Tianyuan Gate in two months, let me go." Fang Li said with a twitch in the corner of his mouth.
"Your grandpa is really optimistic about you." Jing Bingxin rolled her eyes. For two months, even if she ate spiritual fruits and natural treasures every day, she could only reach the Shiyuan Gate at most.
She picked up the cup and just took a sip of tea when she suddenly thought of something. She looked a little excited and said, "It's not impossible to reach Tianyuan Gate in two months!"
"Oh? Do you have any idea?" Fang Li looked at her with a look of expectation on his face.
"Of course, you..." She stopped suddenly mid-sentence, because both of them could clearly feel that the ground was shaking slightly.
Jing Bingxin stood up and looked to the northeast through the window. In the northeast sky, far away, there were patches of blood. A low hum came from there, resounding through the sky. It seemed like a kind of The screams sounded like the earth was groaning.
"What is that?" Fang Li also stood up, his eyes serious.
"What level of attack is this? It actually caused the world to scream!" Jing Bingxin's face was full of shock, and she jumped straight to the top of the building, and Fang Li followed.
Standing on the top of the building, the view is wider. You can see thick blood clouds in the northeast. Even the scenery in that direction is illusory. The entire northeast is distorted, which is a sign that the space has reached its limit.
The earth was trembling, the world was wailing, and several bloody cloud marks appeared in the sky, spreading outward rapidly.
At this time, Ning'an City was in chaos. The ground was constantly shaking. Many buildings in densely built areas had collapsed. There were cracks in the ground under their feet. People were in a panic, and crying could be heard from time to time.
Jing Bingxin and Fang Li were standing on the roof of the building, in a daze, when the scene around them suddenly changed and they came to a large courtyard with many people around them.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere." Xiang Tian's deep voice sounded next to him. His expression was very solemn. He shot a token from his sleeve, and the token immediately turned into countless light rains, forming a circle. A layer of light film isolates the courtyard from the outside world.
After doing all this, Xiang Tian left immediately with a serious look on his face.
Fang Li came to his senses immediately and remembered what Grandpa Xiang said just now, don't go anywhere? What's going on? Why are all kinds of things happening in the empire lately?
"Brother?" When he was trying to find Xiang Tian, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind him. He looked back and saw the girl in white with tears in her eyes, her body trembling slightly.
"ah!"
The girl jumped directly into his arms, hugged him tightly, and cried on his shoulder.
"You big bastard! Wuwu..."
Over Ning'an City.
An old man wearing a purple-gold robe appeared in the air. There were eight dragon patterns on the robe. There was a deep look of fear in his old eyes.
Behind the old man, two more old men appeared immediately, also wearing purple-gold robes, but with different numbers of dragon patterns, one with seven lines and the other with six lines.
"Second brother, third child, form an formation!" The old man with eight dragon patterns shouted loudly, and boundless holy power surged out from his hands. The two old men behind him also shouted loudly, and the three of them formed a triangular light array, vast and vast. Power suddenly swept across!
Three beams of light shot out from the light array and pierced the sky. At that moment, the energy of heaven and earth shook. The smooth liquid energy quickly enveloped the entire Ning'an City, and the trembling of the earth suddenly weakened a bit.
However, the fear in the eyes of the three old men has not disappeared. In their perception, there is an unimaginable force gathering in the northeast. Once it explodes, it will definitely pose a threat to Ning'an City!
······
Half an hour ago, Cangchuan Mountains.
Above the mist-shrouded mountains, a figure suddenly appeared. That person's pupils were silver and blood-colored. He was none other than the Saint of Thunder Prison.
"Lord Saint, all the nodes of the world-destroying energy formation are ready, just waiting for you to take action!" A man in black robe shot out from the mountain and said with great respect.
"There was a delay there, but it's okay, get ready." The Thunder Prison Saint said calmly, and then he held his palm, and the vast holy power instantly covered the entire mountain range.
