Chapter 444: Incident in the Secret Realm (Part 1)
Zhou Yuanyi stared at the two people in front of him, his eyes flashing. He secretly circulated the inner energy around him. Unfortunately, a large secret realm had been opened at this time. The rules of the world on Yunxiao Lake had quietly changed. He could no longer influence the world as easily as before.
The changes in the rules of heaven and earth have almost no impact on Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao. After all, they have not yet entered the realm of heroes, so naturally they cannot feel the changes.
Zhou Yuanyi thought to himself: If we fight against these two people at this time, it would be very disadvantageous. We should first check the situation and get out of here as soon as possible.
The Li brothers didn't show it on the surface, but they were panicking inside. Although they had broken through the opponent's defense in the previous fight, not to mention the powerful counterattack of the "Ksitigarbha Xuanxin Formation", only Li Chengqian The backlash caused by the bloodthirsty Vajra Fist and the four terrifying penetrating wounds on Li Chengtao made them lose the desire to continue fighting with each other!
At this time, they were also observing secretly. On the one hand, they were prepared for sudden attacks by their opponents, and on the other hand, they were trying to find ways to evacuate this place.
"The water level in Yunxiao Pond is constantly decreasing!" Li Chengtao suddenly whispered.
Li Chengqian, who was naked from the waist up, nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "Not only that, the ripples in space formed by our fight just now have also disappeared."
"It seems that the secret of Yunxiao Pond is a secret realm of heaven and earth, right? This is why Luo Yunzong sent people here!" The captain of the inspection team asked with some uncertainty.
Li Chengqian nodded, "It should be this one, and according to my investigation, this secret realm is different from the ordinary. It has complete rules of heaven and earth, which is the only one I have seen in my life. Most of the ancient ruins that I wandered around the rivers and lakes to explore were small. The inner heaven and earth The rules are incomplete and incomplete, and only some medium-sized secret realms will have relatively complete rules of heaven and earth."
"You mean that this secret realm has complete rules of heaven and earth, and its grade is higher than that of small and medium-sized ones." Li Chengtao somewhat understood what his elder brother meant, and asked with some uncertainty.
Li Chengqian did not answer his question, but looked at Zhou Yuanyi who was staring at him not far away, and murmured: "Luo Yunzong must know this question. As a super first-class sect, they already control an ancient place." Secret Realm, I am afraid that only secret realms of this level can make Luo Yunzong so interested in it!"
When Zhou Yuanyi, who was standing not far away, saw the two people opposite him looking towards him, he stared back calmly on the surface, but he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
After a hard battle before, he no longer dared to regard the other party as a junior. Since the other party was able to launch attacks that were comparable to those of a powerful hero, the status of the two brothers of the Li family was also in Zhou Yuanyi's heart. The ground is raised.
…
The strange behavior of Yunxiao Pond naturally attracted the attention of those in the county government who had been paying attention to this battle. In fact, where the space ripples were formed, there were people with good eyesight among this group of people, cursing and retreating to the outside.
You know, this kind of space ripples, even if faced by ordinary warriors in the knight realm, it is a situation of narrow escape, not to mention these intelligence staff who are not strong in martial arts.
Intelligence workers from any force rarely have particularly strong warriors. After all, as the order of battle behind enemy lines, they rarely have direct conflicts with the enemy. Just like the mountain patrol team, the warriors in the action team are generally stronger than those in the intelligence team.
But even so, it still does not prevent the intelligence teams who are slow to respond from spreading the news.
Hongyan Town, the remaining veins of Yanlong Mountains, and Hongyan Mountain Pavilion.
Lei Rong, who was sitting at the top, looked through the briefing in his hand.
"Lei Haiying, the battle between the two Li brothers in Luoye City really caused quite a stir!" Lei Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured.
And standing at the bottom were nine men. They are the nine most powerful warriors in Hongyan Town, known as the "Nine Guards of Hongyan" in the world!
And the man named "Lei Haiying" that Lei Rong mentioned was standing in the third place among the nine people. This person is thin, with slender cheeks, a bridge of nose like a hanging gallbladder, and narrow eyes. Although he does not look majestic, he is very capable.
"Sir, that's what the intelligence says, but..."
He paused slightly, raised his head and glanced at Lei Rong, who was sitting in the main seat, and then said: "The authenticity of its content still needs to be verified!"
Lei Rong nodded, with some doubts in his mind. After all, there has been too much news about Yinren Town in the past year. It used to be the bottom among the six forces. Due to its location, it is separated from Hongyan Town by Chunfeng Town. There was no border, so Chief Lei didn't pay much attention to it.
Until some time ago, Yinren officially changed from a village to a town, and joined forces with Chunfeng Town to become the largest alliance force in Luoye County. It was only then that this little-known local force came into the eyes of the Hongyan Intelligence Organization.
As the saying goes: debut is the peak! Yinren Town explains this word very well. Lin Hengshan, the leader of Yinren Town in Yunxi, only brought five people to the banquet! After that, news spread from childhood to the upper level that Yinren was causing trouble in the county government. From the summary of information from all aspects, it can be inferred that Yinren has indeed gained a considerable advantage, but Luoye City has paid a huge price for this.
After this battle, Yinren Town gradually became a myth in the world of Luoye County. Later, I came across news about Yinren again, that is, Lei Rushan met Yi Xifeng, Yin Shisan and his party in the official post.
Thinking of this, Lei Rongyou looked at the man standing in the first place among the nine people, and asked softly: "Rushan, do you think the two brothers of the Yinren Li family have the strength to fight with the elders of the inner sect of the Luo Yun Sect?" It’s an inextricable problem!”
When Lei Rushan heard the question, he frowned slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I really don't know about this matter... I am young!"
The rest of the Hongyan Nine Guards were stunned and looked at Lei Rushan, who was standing at the head of the team. As the strongest person among the nine guards of Hongyan, his right to speak is extremely important in Hongyan Town, and given his character, he rarely says such uncertain words.
When Lei Rong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said calmly: "Rushan only needs to talk about speculation, but it doesn't matter!"
Lei Rushan pursed his lips and explained: "My subordinates don't have much contact with Yinren Town. I just met a group of young people at the border inn a few days ago!"
"It's better to call them teenagers than young people. Most of them are around fifteen years old, maybe even younger." He had already told everyone about this information that day, especially about their ages, which also aroused at that time Attention from the top management of Hongyan Town.
You must know that for those under the age of fifteen who have combat power comparable to that of a warrior in the Xia Zhe realm, this is an extremely rare elite for any force, not to mention Luoye County, even in Luo Yun Kingdom.
Although Lei Rushan is not sure where the real strength of Yi Xifeng and his team is, they definitely have the combat power at the peak of Mang Realm.
"Since then, I have always treated the background of Yinren Town with an unknown and mysterious attitude." Lei Rushan looked at everyone present and said firmly.
At this time, Lei Haiying, who had just been questioned by Lei Rong, also said: "Brother Rushan is right, but I still feel that the combat power is comparable to that of the hero... Isn't this a bit..."
At this point, his voice also dropped, but everyone understood what he meant. If Yinren Town really has such strength, then the situation among the various forces in Luoye County will also change.
…
As one of the New Six-Party Forces, Hongyan Town's intelligence collection capabilities can basically reflect the intelligence level of the various forces in Luoye County. However, it is just that they are close, so they may not necessarily understand it clearly, or know the truth. Just when the top brass of Hongyan Town were in a tangle because of the amazing fighting prowess displayed by the two Li brothers, the Luo Yunzong, thousands of miles away, was in a different situation.
As the inner elder of Luo Yun Sect, Zhou Yuanyi is considered the number one figure in the sect. Compared to the deacons or elders of the outer sect, his status is higher than that of the real leaders of the sect. Elder Zhou is still far behind.
It's just that Luo Yunzong, as one of the eight sects in the world, naturally has a complete intelligence system. Its complexity is even greater than that of a salary list organization that has been established for decades.
The top sect in time, this intelligence system is naturally also top-notch.
Just after the Yunxiao Pond lit up with red light, in just a short cup of tea, a briefing was placed on a document in a main hall of Luo Yunzong.
This document is very unique. It is about ten feet long and two feet wide. It looks thin and long. There are palm-sized documents on the table, with covers of different colors on the cards.
Most of them are green, and there are tens of thousands of copies. A small part is yellow, and there are nearly a thousand copies.
There were more than twenty people sitting on both sides of this huge document. They each held the document in their hands to review it and annotated the briefing notes with red brushes.
There are ten huge documents like this in this hall. At this time, only three desks were filled with people, and the other desks were not used.
But even so, it is still an astonishing intelligence information network, with nearly 100,000 briefings. For Luo Yunzong, this is just a summary of intelligence in three days. If a war breaks out somewhere, or with a big country, more documents will be used in this hall.
The briefing document recording the contents of Yunxi Pond was handed over, but its color was a bit special, not green or yellow, but red.
The color-coded briefings are a simple way for intelligence organizations to classify information according to its priority.
Green means "reply within three days", yellow means "reply within the same day", and red means "reply within one hour".
In fact, there is another color for the cover of the newsletter, but it is very rare, and that is black, which means "reply immediately"!
The pre-sorting of intelligence is already done when it is reported by various intelligence organizations, so that the pressure on various intelligence organizations can be better relieved.
…
Soon Yunxiaochi's briefing was presented, and finally fell into the hands of an old man wearing a Confucian shirt. This old man has an old face and looks to be in his eighties, but he has a tall and straight figure, and his eyes are reserved and shining, with a hint of wisdom. This man is one of the deacons and elders in charge of intelligence in Luo Yunzong.
His eyes swept over the briefing, and in just one breath, he reviewed the contents. Then he wrote a note and put it into a small red sword. After a wave of internal energy, the small red sword circled around the main hall under the control of the old man, and then plunged into it. Entering the night outside the main hall.
Not only how long had passed, it might have been an hour, or it might have been half an hour, but two people appeared outside the mountain gate of Luo Yunzong. But with their faces covered by bamboo hats, they hurried out of the mountain gate, and then stepped into the teleportation array. There was a burst of space fluctuations, and when they looked at their figures again, they still disappeared without a trace.
If other first-class sects saw this scene, they would probably become red-eyed and shout: "Sure enough, this large secret realm is really terrifying. As long as there are strong men from the holy realm in the sect, they can use the complete power of this ancient monument to According to the rules of heaven and earth, if you create a teleportation array, although you cannot travel anywhere from north to south, there is no problem in targeting a few locations!"
Let me briefly introduce the locations of the four counties of Luo Yun Kingdom.
Luoye County is located in the west of Luo Yun Kingdom, adjacent to the thousands of miles of forest sea. Every late autumn, fallen leaves drifting from thousands of miles of forests will cover the entire Luoye County, hence the name "Falling Leaves". There are many deep forests and dangerous ravines in Luoye County. The large uninhabited deep forests separate the various forces in Luoye County. At the same time, Luoye County is also the county with the smallest population in the entire Luoyun Kingdom. Excluding the 100,000 residents of Luoye City, the county seat, there are less than 100,000 residents in the entire Luoye County. Two hundred thousand county citizens.
Qingchuan County is located in the northern part of Luoyun Kingdom, adjacent to Longxi Town in the northern part of Luoye County. The terrain of this county is complex, with many mountains and rivers. The imperial court has the weakest control over this county. At the same time, it is also the county with the most Jianghu sects in the entire Luo Yun Kingdom. It basically represents the status of Luo Yun Kingdom in the world. There is a saying of "Luoyun in the south and Qingchuan in the north". The entire Qingchuan County has 350,000 residents.
Moshang County is located in the eastern part of Luoyun Kingdom, adjacent to Yunxiao Sea. This county has fertile fields for thousands of miles, and two-thirds of Luo Yun's grain is produced in Mo Shang County, hence the name Mo Shang. At the same time, Moshang County also has the largest population among the four counties of Luoyun Kingdom, and the imperial court has the deepest influence on this place. In addition to farming, the people in the county also study for academic examinations. There are many refined people in the county, but there are few knights and heroes. Since ancient times, there has been a beautiful saying: "The people on the road are like jade, and the princes are unparalleled in the world." The entire Moshang County has 1.2 million residents.
Yunxi County is located in the southern part of Luoyun Kingdom, adjacent to Qingchuan County and Luoye County. This county is located in the lower reaches of Qingchuan, with many rivers and lakes. It is also an important transportation route for the four counties, and the rivers and lakes and the imperial power are complicated. It is also the county closest to Yunxiao Capital. Like Xing Wutang, mixed sects of both black and white sects are the main form of power in Yunxi County. The entire Yunxi County has 1.1 million citizens.
