Five years later.
Wuzhou, Lion Heart City.
A strong man with blue eyes and brown hair and a giant sword stuck in his back stood outside the majestic city gate, looking up at the tall city wall that stretched for hundreds of miles. After a long time, he looked at the two rows of the city gate that were more than ten feet high. giant lion statue, and then slowly walked in with a thoughtful look on his face.
This person is in good time.
In the past five years, he has traveled to nearly a hundred tribes, large and small, visited various fairs, auctions and many shops, and it can be said that he has gained a lot.
In those big cities, if you are lucky, you can buy two to three thousand star stones, but if you are not lucky, you can only buy about a thousand or so.
There are even fewer small towns, usually only a few hundred star stones, but even so, he has harvested nearly 40,000 star stones over the years, which is a number that makes him very satisfied.
According to the original route, he should have turned back to Zhongzhou long ago, and Lion Heart City was not in his plan at all.
After all, this Lion Heart City is located in the hinterland of the Southern Wilderness, and it is the home of the Mad Lion Holy Emperor. There must be a god-forming ancestor sitting in charge.
And based on what he learned along the way, he also learned that there was a Lion Heart Temple in the city. He had always been wary of the temple lineage, so it was still a bit risky to enter the city.
There were two main reasons why he decided to venture into the city.
First, after traveling in the past few years, he finally understood that all the top-quality spiritual marrow found in the spiritual mines in the Southern Wasteland had been forcibly confiscated by the Lion Emperor. If there were any private transactions or concealment, they would be killed immediately.
Regarding this matter, the leaders of the major tribes often complained, and even secretly withheld the spiritual essence for their own use.
It is said that the Lion Emperor learned about this and sent more than a dozen teams to secretly investigate. Liangchen's questioning made people suspect that he was the person sent by the Lion Emperor to investigate.
Knowing the connection, he wanted to understand why every time he asked, both the shopkeeper and the waiter's expressions changed drastically, and they even denied it.
Even though he knew that Lion Heart City had the best spiritual essence, Liangchen didn't want to take risks there. It wasn't until he passed through the Landu Mountains on his way back and inquired about the metallic best spiritual essence that he learned a piece of news.
A few months ago, a top-quality spiritual essence was discovered deep in a spiritual mine in Landu Mountain, and it was exactly the top-quality metallic spiritual essence he needed.
Once this spiritual essence was discovered, the miners who had already been bribed secretly spread the news.
The businessmen lurking nearby immediately heard the news and waited for an opportunity to take away this top-quality spiritual essence at a high price, but they didn't want to know that it had been leaked.
The Lion Emperor's army stationed at Landu Mountain killed several Zhongzhou merchants and countless miners, and then sent this top-quality spiritual essence to Lion Heart City.
After receiving the news, Liangchen chased all the way, but still missed the escort team because he was not familiar with the place and did not choose the right route.
After some final consideration, he decided to take a risk in the city. After all, how could he easily let go of the top-quality spiritual essence that was right in front of him.
.
As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to a gorgeous palace in the center.
The palace is located in the center of the city, covering an area of nearly a hundred acres, with a winding moat dug around it and connected by four jade bridges in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
There are twelve huge stone columns surrounding the palace. It is felt that there is spiritual energy entwining and connecting the columns, but it is a giant formation.
There are also more than a dozen teams of heavy soldiers taking turns guarding the place, which shows that it is heavily guarded.
This is the Holy Palace of the Lion Emperor.
Liangchen thought about it for a long time, but didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he didn't know what was going on in the palace.
If it was the Lion Emperor alone, he wouldn't worry at all. If there were other ancestors of the gods taking charge, he would probably have to go through a lot of trouble.
Moreover, the large formation in front of him is not easy to break. As long as he delays for a while, whether he scares away the Lion Emperor or attracts the people from the temple, it is not the result he wants. ωω
But how do you get into it quietly?
He walked around the palace and looked around, but for a moment he had no good idea. After thinking about it for a moment, he left the place and headed east of the city.
There is a white palace in the east of the city. The palace is like a spear piercing the sky. If you carefully count, there are nine consecutive spiers. There is a wide square at the entrance, which is somewhat larger than the palace.
You must know that every inch of land in this city is precious, so having such a large square is simply unimaginable. Moreover, the height of this palace is actually higher than that of the Lion Emperor's Holy King Palace!
All of this naturally demonstrates the transcendent status of this temple in the city, because this is the famous Lion Heart Temple in the Southern Wilderness!
The reason why the Lion Emperor was able to unify the Southern Wilderness was inseparable from the help of the temple, so the temple is now the protector of the Southern Wilderness.
This temple in Lion Heart City is naturally the one with the greatest influence in the Southern Wasteland.
For this reason, the temple sent a well-known worshiping bishop in the temple to serve as the master of the Lion Heart Palace. This person is not only extremely talented, but also a rare psychic body like the Saint of Light.
Originally, after the right envoy of darkness led the gods to fall with his own body, he was the successor of the next right envoy trained by the temple. He did not want to fail to advance to the middle stage of divine transformation in the spirit filling ceremony, and ultimately lost the election with regret.
But even so, the master of the Lion Heart Palace has reached the peak of the early stage of divine transformation with his magical powers, and it is said that he has touched the threshold of the middle stage.
It would be perfect for such an important person to sit in the heart of Southern Wilderness.
It's just that this person has been in seclusion all year round, and even the daily affairs in the temple are managed by a few elders, so the world only sees him occasionally during some important temple celebrations.
Another important reason why Liangchen didn't dare to break into the Holy King's Palace was because of this.
He has been traveling around the Southern Wilderness over the past few years and has a general understanding of the many customs, customs, forces and distribution of the Southern Wilderness.
When the Lion Emperor was at its peak, he unified the Southern Wilderness. However, after losing his halberd in Zhongzhou and the battle to welcome the Saint and Liangchen, his vitality was severely damaged. He was seriously injured and escaped back to the Holy King's Palace, where he has been in seclusion.
Later, an order was issued to kill the monks in Zhongzhou on sight, and all the best spiritual essences were required to be sent to Lion Heart City.
Naturally, those tribes also learned that the Lion Emperor was injured and was being healed with the best spiritual marrow, so many tribes belonging to the Jutian Clan also began to take some actions.
Just because of the presence of the temple and the remaining power of the Lion Emperor, they did not dare to openly resist for the time being. They could only do some small tricks such as secretly withholding and not reporting the orders of the best spiritual essence.
After observing for a while, I found a secluded place, thinking about the news I had received over the years, and considering my next move.
After a long time, he thought of the purpose of his trip, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he had a solution.
