It’s not just the Yao clan and Nanyuan Kingdom that are paying attention to the changes in Xiyuan County. Almost all countries in the human race have focused their attention here from time to time.
Although Nanyuan Kingdom relied on the right to distribute ghost-catching bells and bone-strengthening pills, it has become a country among the human nations that everyone is deliberately tolerant of, turning a blind eye to the "cooperation" between Nanyuan Kingdom and Haoyue Demon Kingdom. Eyes, but it does not mean that they will not care about what the demon clan is planning to do in Xiyuan County of Nanyuan Kingdom.
Intelligence spies from various countries are almost pervasive, let alone a place like Xiyuan County that is already as chaotic as a pot of porridge. In addition to the secrets in the West Route Army, all changes that occurred in Xiyuan County will be known to the outside world, but there will be a time lag.
In the past year, various countries have obtained a lot of incredible information from Xiyuan County. After slowly gathering, the speculation that "the demon clan is looking for something in Xiyuan County" soon became a common opinion.
There are speculations, and what the demon clan has done in Xiyuan County in the past few years, there is no conflict with Nanyuan Kingdom. As a result, with the passage of time, the attitude of various human nations toward the cooperation between the demon clan and the Nanyuan Kingdom changed from "full of indignation" to "eager to try" at the beginning.
Even if Xiyuan County is the territory of your Nanyuan Kingdom, the demon clan can interfere with anything that may appear above, so why can't we?
You can't make loud demands to Nanyuan Kingdom, but you have a lot of room for action secretly.
Which country doesn't have some elite warriors? In addition, the spies go first, let alone trying to "seize food from the tiger's mouth", but at least have a drink of soup, right?
This matter is not a secret in Nanyuan Kingdom. Although I am very dissatisfied with other countries' actions, it is simply unrealistic to clear out people in an already messy place like Xiyuan County. So I can only pretend I don’t know. At the same time, he strengthened his surveillance efforts in Xiyuan County. In short, this is still the territory of Nanyuan Kingdom, and the location is advantageous. If there is really any benefit, Nanyuan Kingdom will definitely fight for the biggest share.
The previous subsidences, small soil parcels, or weird forests, these changes were all very small in scale, and there were no signs worthy of intervention.
But this time, the black peak that towered hundreds of feet was completely different.
The battle is so big that it cannot be hidden from anyone with eyes and ears in Xiyuan County. The same goes for the demon clan.
Naturally, Zhang Yan was among the people paying attention to Xiyuan County. He received the flying feathers from Shenwu Eagle almost immediately. However, due to the limited space of Feiyu, I cannot write too many words, so I can only tell a few simple messages from Heifeng.
Shen Wujiu hoped that Zhang Yan would go to Xiyuan County in person, but he dared to say this. After all, no one else was qualified to suggest what Mr. Zhang wanted to do now.
Of course, Shen Wujiu didn't know. In fact, Zhang Yan was extremely concerned about the changes in Xiyuan County, because he knew from Baronca that the spatial changes in Xiyuan County would most likely contain some good things from another world.
So after Zhang Yan got the news about Fei Yu, he immediately drove the Skylark Shuttle to Xiyuan County. This time he went alone, instead of taking his three disciples with him, he left them to practice in the mountains.
When he arrived in Xiyuan County again, Zhang Yan also had no intention of meeting the military commander in Baishi City. Directly follow the direction indicated by Fei Yuli and go towards Xiyuan County near Baima Rock.
Even Zhang Yan doesn't need to distinguish it carefully. A huge "black pillar" standing on the plain shouldn't be too eye-catching. It can be seen at a glance from a very far distance.
At first glance, Zhang Yan was shocked by the black mountain peak. Because he recognized what the main body of the mountain was pitch black.
It's not a mountain rock, or it's not an ordinary mountain rock. Of course, it is not a metal, but a weapon-refining material that is often mentioned in the weapon-refining classics.
Black stone.
This thing is actually produced in the Wild Sky Territory, but it is a refined material like the main material "beard" in the storage magic weapon. After it is produced, it has a stone-like texture, so it is called "Xuanshi".
Even the classics on weapon refining have never mentioned that black stones exist naturally.
It is true that the things are materials for refining weapons, and since they are synthetic materials for refining weapons, they are naturally not ordinary goods, and their value is also on the high side. It's just a relatively unpopular high-end weapon refining material compared to "Xu". Zhang Yan knew it, but he never used it.
It's not that Zhang Yan can't combine this kind of material. The difficulty of combining Xuanshi is actually not high, much simpler than "Xu". Zhang Yan didn't use it just because what he wanted to practice didn't require the use of black stones at all.
And as Zhang Yan got closer, he could clearly feel that the black stone that made up the mountain peak was very pure, with almost no impurities, especially the uniqueness of the black stone that spread out.
The special thing about black stone is that it creates a magical stance, disrupting the vitality of the creatures who enter this stance.
What is vitality? Living things, whether they are humans or beasts, even flowers, plants and trees are alive. The stronger the vitality, the stronger the vitality. In a sense, there is an inevitable relationship between vitality, soul and body. It's just that the vitality cannot be cultivated like the soul and the physical body.
And it is precisely because of this strange characteristic that Xuanshi has become unpopular. Because the magical tools required by ordinary monks simply cannot use this thing. Because black stone is the main material of most "ghost weapons". Monks who practice ghost or evil ways will only be able to use it.
Even with Zhang Yan's current level of cultivation and the soul stabilized by Yuan Shen Guyang, he still felt a sense of discomfort when approaching the black stone mountain. The closer he got, the more obvious this feeling became. From a distance of more than a mile, you can see that there is no grass growing around Xuanshi Mountain.
In fact, small pieces of black stone do not have such terrifying power. But Zhang Yan was also enlightened by such a big mountain.
After sensing in the air, a smile appeared on Zhang Yan's face, and he landed towards the military stronghold that was obviously newly established near Xuanshi Mountain.
Someone was hovering in the sky just now. The people in the military camp had noticed it a long time ago. They didn't panic when they saw the other person coming down. They even opened their eyes in excitement as if watching the excitement. Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Mr. Zhang from Cliff Mountain in Nanyuan Kingdom can fly? The only one in the wilderness!
And didn’t you see that the general in the army, Zhou Cang, had already come out to welcome him?
Some people have long said that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang have an old relationship, and the weapons on Mr. Zhou’s waist are all magic weapons given by Mr. Zhang himself. It seems to be true now.
Zhou Cang below was also smiling. Zhang Yan's arrival was the second thing that made him happy after he arrived in Xiyuan County, besides fighting off the demon clan before.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Master Zhou, I haven't seen you look better than before in many years!"
"Hahaha, sir, you are more charming!"
When friends meet, it's natural to exchange pleasantries. But although we are old friends and the friendship between each other is still there, for Zhou Cang, it is no longer as casual as before. With Zhang Yan's current status, even the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom would not dare to offend him, and Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel the pressure of this.
PS: I have to go to physical therapy again this morning, and there is only one chapter left to update in the afternoon. Please forgive me.
