big! When he saw Lingzhou Mansion, Shi Chishang had only one thought in his mind, and that was "big".
This city is built on four towering mountains. It is centered on a huge peak that is one million meters high. The three are slightly shorter, but there are at least 700,000-800,000-meter peaks surrounding it in a zigzag shape. .
Starting from the foot of the mountain, every time the four peaks rise about 10,000 meters, there is a city area built around the mountain. Any section of these urban areas is 10,000 meters wide, and there are countless high-rise buildings made of various supernatural metals.
The tops of the four peaks are connected by iron cables made of hundreds of thousands of years of condensed black iron. Looking from outside the city, one can only see densely packed escaping lights exuding a shuddering atmosphere along the iron cables. Shuttle back and forth.
The vast Yin Qi turned into a torrent visible to the naked eye, starting from the bottom of the four peaks and rising turbulently. Under the guidance of countless forbidden formations, it turned into layers of force barriers more than a hundred meters thick, blocking this place. The huge mountain city is completely enveloped in it.
The most amazing thing is that above the main peak in the center, there is a huge star with an incalculable diameter. It was clearly a planet that the Holy Tang Dynasty had forcibly plundered from the depths of the sky with its great supernatural powers. After being refined with numerous secret techniques, it could not only be inhabited by humans, but could also be turned into the most terrifying war fortress at any time.
"Gan!" Huang Chenyang stared at his eyes and exclaimed, "This is the largest city I have ever seen! Compared with Chongqing, this is a mountain city!"
"Are you from Chongqing?" Shi Chishang looked over subconsciously. Huang Chenyang nodded and sighed: "I've been away for a long time. I originally wanted to go back before I died, but I met Li Er, a son of a bitch. Mom sells batches. It’s very bad.”
While the two were talking, six flying boats, escorted by a thousand-man guard, had already arrived at the city gate.
Due to the large-scale attack from the Huangquan River Basin, the villages, towns and counties south of Lingzhou Prefecture began to relocate people on a large scale. When Shi Chishang and their colleagues arrived, endless ghosts had gathered outside the city gate, and nearly 90% of them were human races. Yin spirits, and the remaining 10% are Yin spirits of various races and local ghost beasts.
"Oh my god, how many people are there!" Huang Chenyang exclaimed as he touched his forehead.
Shi Chi Shang frowned slightly. He didn't care about the crowd. The problem was that there were so many people lining up in front of him and it would take who knows how long to wait for them to enter the city.
Fortunately, they did not wait too long. Two quarters of an hour later, a round mirror suddenly flew up from the city gate, driven by the combined efforts of several Yin spirits at the peak of the Underworld King, and wrapped in bright flames.
Those underworld kings pushed the round mirror high into the sky and used their underworld power to rush into the mirror. In an instant, the already turbulent flames suddenly became more intense and turned into a ball of bright light, which illuminated the billions of shadows outside the city gate. Everything is covered in it.
When the magnificent light swept over, Shi Chishang instinctively wanted to use his power to resist, but before he could move, the bright light had already passed by without having any impact on him.
On the contrary, among the crowd in the distance, several ferocious and wild black energy suddenly burst out, and several disguised ghost beasts turned into human forms. The bright light swept away the illusion and forced them out of their prototypes.
"The evil obstacles in the underworld must be punished!"
With a sharp shout, the two initial underworld emperors led four thousand elites into the air from the top of the city, forming a formation and pounced on the several exposed ghost beasts.
The ghost beasts that can hide their strength and blend into the crowd must be extraordinary. However, the opponent not only has two Hades Emperors sitting on the ground, but also has the blessing of Lingzhou Mansion's city protection formation. Several ghost beasts roared and resisted for a moment before being defeated by the defenders. Kill them one by one.
"Listen up!" After slaying several ghost beasts, one of the two underworld emperors who had taken action earlier, a male Yin spirit with a handsome appearance like a frail scholar, shouted sharply, "The three sub-cities have been divided into temporary residences for you. District, please do not act recklessly after entering the city, and wait for the end of the war with peace of mind."
"Flying is prohibited in the city. If you want to go to other urban areas, you need to go through the Hantie Ropeway," another female Hades Emperor with long hair and a rather beautiful appearance said softly, "The three sub-cities have daily necessities for sale. The observation envoy has already mobilized troops and horses, and the enemy will be driven back soon, and you will be able to go home by then."
After the instructions, the female Hades Emperor took out a token and opened the passage into the city. Then thousands of soldiers stepped forward and guided billions of Yin spirits to the temporary residential areas in the three sub-cities.
Shi Chishang and Huang Chenyang, who deliberately lowered their cultivation and remained at the peak of the underworld, were among the billions of ghosts. Because they had already been inspected by the round mirror, the thousands of soldiers did not inspect it again. He also sneaked into Lingzhou Mansion smoothly.
"Honestly, is it necessary for us to hide like this?"
When they arrived at a temporary living area, Huang Chenyang said in confusion: "In the early stage of Ming Lord, the peak of Ming Master, I am just cannon fodder. You are at most better than cannon fodder, and no one will care about us, right?"
"That being said, it's better to be careful," Shi Chishang squinted his eyes and said solemnly, "You're fine. If my identity is exposed, I probably won't be able to get out of Lingzhou Mansion."
Compared with the Zombie Clan, which relies purely on strong men to surround them, the Shengtang Dynasty obviously has a bit more of a unique atmosphere of the human race. Once the powerful and complex formations in the city are activated, no matter how clever his Nether Sword Wings are, it is estimated that There is no way to escape safely.
"You are the boss, you have the final say," Huang Chenyang shrugged and asked, "Then what should we do next? Or the old method, first go to the merchant's house and ask about the situation?"
"Wait a minute..." Shi Chishang pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge star above the main peak in the middle.
That was the Lingzhou star, one of the seventy-two stars of Tiance.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Shengtang Dynasty, Taizu of the dynasty used his great supernatural power to capture 72 such giant stars from the infinite space, and suspended them above the 72 Taoist offices. They were the residences of the high-level officials of each Taoist office. , is also a super powerful war-killing weapon that can rival the terrifying firepower of a sixth-order Ming Zun.
"Perhaps there is a teleportation array up there so we can leave..." Shi Chishang muttered, patted Huang Chenyang's shoulder, grinned and said, "Let's go to Tiance Mansion."
"Tiance Mansion?" Huang Chenyang blinked and said blankly, "Where is that place?"
Shi Chishang raised a jade slip in his hand and said angrily: "I just took a look at the local customs and sentiments. The Tiance Mansion was established by the Holy Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. It is somewhat similar to the mercenary union. It is set up in every political office. There is a branch where intelligence can be traded and missions can be issued.”
"Hey, then I understand!" Huang Chenyang chuckled, "As for the mercenary union, I used to register as a mercenary when I was in Europe. Unfortunately, I only reached C level and got into big trouble and fled back to my country."
"It makes you think it's a big trouble. It does seem like a big trouble." Shi Chi said with a sad smile.
"That's necessary!" Huang Chenyang held the back of his neck with both hands and walked leisurely next to Shi Chishang, "I accidentally ran into a gangster and robbed them of the goods they were trading. I didn't expect to stir up a hornet's nest. Then It's a fragment of the light of the Holy Spirit, said to be able to activate the legacy of the Sun God of Light, but as a result, he was hunted down by all parties..."
"The light of the Holy Spirit?" Shi Chishang had an idea flash in his mind and asked in surprise, "Sea of light? Beloberg's godhead?"
"How do you know?" Huang Chenyang said in surprise, "You, a novice, still know about Europe?"
Rolling his eyes, Shi Chishang smiled bitterly and recounted how he landed in Europe when he returned from the ghost world to the human world, but was surrounded and killed because of the light of the Holy Spirit.
"So you are also a victim!" Huang Chenyang chuckled and pushed him with his elbow, "Then we brothers are quite destined!"
"Who is destined to be with you!" Shi Chishang curled his lips and asked a group of patrolling guards for the direction of Tiance Mansion. Only then did he find out that Tiance Mansion's branch in Lingzhou Mansion is located at the 7990th main peak. Nine floors.
Ru Shichishang and the others, these moved ghosts, were placed on the three surrounding peaks. If you want to go to the main peak, you must purchase a special pass to get to the main peak from those ropeways.
Fortunately, these passes were not expensive. Shi Chishang and the others came to the other end of the ropeway and spent four thousand Shengtang coins to buy two passes from the guards. Then they boarded the ropeway and spent a quarter of an hour arriving. The main peak is the 4000th floor.
According to the laws of the Holy Tang Dynasty, any building in the imperial dynasty has a clearly specified upper limit of the number of floors. For a government office like Lingzhou Mansion, the highest number of floors must not exceed 8,000 floors. Therefore, except for the 8,000th floor, which is the highest in the main peak, it is used as a military building. Outside the stationed area, the 7999th floor further down is the area where the middle-class and wealthy families are concentrated.
Tiance Mansion, as an important department established by Emperor Taizu of the Holy Tang Dynasty, was in charge of the large and small sects in the dynasty and individual cultivators in various places. It was somewhat similar to the leader of Jianghu Alliance.
The branch of Tiance Mansion in Lingzhou Mansion looks like a large manor from the outside. It is surrounded by a wall made of silver talisman bricks, which is five meters high. Above it are a number of strange beasts that exude strong coercion. The sculpture, the main entrance is six meters high and ten meters wide, with high vermilion pillars painted with four-winged ferocious birds. The two dark doors are engraved with dense and exquisite patterns, which are vaguely connected to the entire Tiance Mansion, as if they are always there. Can inspire powerful attacks.
When Shi Chishang and Huang Chenyang arrived outside the gate of Tiance Mansion, countless ghostly creatures were busy coming in and out. Most of them were human ghosts, a small number were living people with flesh and blood, and a few were various alien races. , the scene was very lively.
After looking around for a few times outside, Shi Chishang grabbed a late-stage Pluto who had just come out. The Yin spirit was suddenly grabbed by him. Just as he was about to glare, Shi Chishang had already released a little pressure from the Pluto, which immediately frightened the Yin spirit. He smiled flatteringly: "Senior, what do you have to say?"
Shi Chishang didn't embarrass it. He just asked about the things to pay attention to when entering Tiance Mansion. After asking clearly, he let it go, and then walked into Tiance Mansion with Huang Chenyang.
The two of them had just crossed the threshold when they suddenly found themselves in an irritating noise. Thick numbers of ghosts crowded in the lobby. Some were arguing and some were talking. Even though Shi Chishang was in a good state, he was also attracted by the noise. The sound was so loud that he was confused.
Shaking his head, Shi Chishang quickly calmed down. According to what the Pluto Yinling just said, he walked into a corridor on the left side of the lobby. After a while, he came to a larger hall. There were several blocks of light blue in the hall. A huge fluorescent stone tablet, surrounded by countless evil objects, huge thoughts kept sinking into the stone tablet, seeming to be reading information.
Shi Chishang walked to the nearest stone tablet, took out the pass he had purchased at the cableway entrance, and then probed his soul into the stone tablet. He instantly sensed countless messages, all of which were related to various intelligence needs.
These demands were sorted out and arranged one by one by the formations in the stone tablet. Shi Chishang's soul consciousness scanned it and he could check the contents very clearly. Some asked for information about a certain ferocious beast, some offered rewards for other people's whereabouts, and some asked about strange substances. Ask questions.
"This is much better than Baidu." Shi Chishang muttered, and submitted his request on how to get to Yama Luo Mansion into the stone tablet, and then took a third-grade underworld weapon obtained from Xue Jia Yaksha as a reward.
A third-grade underworld weapon is already considered a relatively rare treasure in Lingzhou Mansion, so Shi Chishang's request has just been submitted and has been automatically promoted to the top 100 items, which also triggered the exclamations of countless underworld objects in the hall.
However, because the beast tide in the Huangquan River Basin is attacking, the entire Weiyang Road is in a state of combat readiness, and the outgoing teleportation arrays are completely closed, so Shi Chishang did not receive much feedback on this request. After a while, there were only three or four responses. Shi Chishang read through it and found that he was basically asked to leave Weiyang Road first and go to other places to take the teleportation array to Yama Mansion.
