"I've met the hall master."
Arrive at the City Lord’s Mansion.
The first thing Zhao Yongqi saw was his immediate boss, Sha Hongxiu.
Although this hall master is tall and burly, his name is somewhat feminine. When Zhao Yongqi heard this name for the first time, he was really surprised. At this moment, the other party was standing outside the door of the city lord's palace. After Zhao Yongqi arrived, his eyes were Always stay on Him.
Zhao Yongqi was puzzled.
This hall leader is not commanding the battle on the front line, but he still appears in the city lord's palace, and he is still waiting for someone at the door. Could it be that he is really waiting for him, but this makes no sense at all.
Zhao Yongqixinxing.
When I saw Sha Hongxiu.
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
Dozens of thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.
After all, according to common sense, at this moment, the war is extremely urgent, and this hall master should never appear here.
In addition, on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yongqi was also thinking about why he was asked to come to the City Lord's Mansion at this time. He originally thought that because he was the leader of the clan, he would be able to directly command the Zhao family members by being in the City Lord's Mansion. Prevent riots.
But.
Ji Jiaoer said that there had never been such a precedent.
There are more than tens of thousands of large and small families in Blackstone Fortress. A small family of the size of the Zhao family is simply not worth such a big effort.
This can't help but make Zhao Yongqi suspicious.
In addition, seeing the hall master who shouldn't be here made him even more confused. With his suspicious character, if this place wasn't the Blackstone Fortress, he might have given up.
pity.
Precisely because this place is the Black Mountain Fortress.
It is impossible for him to disobey the orders of the city lord's palace, so even if the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. He had to make a break, too.
certainly.
Things shouldn't be that bad.
Zhao Yongqi secretly comforted himself in his heart.
He didn't do anything against the law, so the City Lord's Mansion had no reason to be disadvantageous to him. Furthermore, if the situation was really serious, they wouldn't have issued an order to let him come to the City Lord's Mansion, and would probably have sent someone to arrest him directly. .
It is nothing more than soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it up.
With this idea in mind, Zhao Yongqi lowered his light and saluted Sha Hongxiu.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Sha Hongxiu's stiff face forced a smile.
Compared to the first time we met, his tone was much gentler: "What big thing did fellow Taoist do that actually alarmed that fellow? Not only did he grab me and ask a lot about fellow daoist, but he also had to let me welcome you in personally. "
"That one?"
"Can you please make it clear, Master? I'm totally confused right now."
Zhao Yongqi showed doubts.
"hehe."
"It's okay if fellow Taoist doesn't want to say anything."
Sha Hongxiu obviously didn't believe that Zhao Yongqi didn't know anything, but he didn't break the casserole and ask for the truth. Instead, he stretched out his hand and said, "That person has been waiting for a long time. Let's not waste any more time at the door."
Zhao Yongqi really didn't know anything.
But looking at Sha Hongxiu’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Could it be a good thing?
Zhao Yongqi thought silently.
Unknowingly, I have reached the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. All the monks I met on the way were in a hurry, walking fast, and their eyebrows showed nervous and anxious looks. As the central hub of the Ninety-Six Cities, the City Lord's Mansion Already operating at full capacity.
"Zhao Yongqi just comes in, you stay outside."
Walking to the front of the main hall, Sha Hongxiu was just about to make a report when she heard the plain voice of a female cultivator coming from inside.
"As commanded."
Even in front of the purple door, Sha Hongxiu still bowed and saluted with a respectful face. Naturally, only the Golden Core cultivator could give him, a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, such an attitude.
Immediately afterwards.
Sha Hongxiu winked at Zhao Yongqi.
He motioned for him to quickly open the door and go in.
Looking at the appearance of this burly man, Zhao Yongqi couldn't help but smile to himself. It seemed that the dignified and unsmiling look displayed by him when they met for the first time was most likely a disguise. Perhaps he was used to pretending all the time, so he was like this. nature.
When facing the golden elixir monk.
The true nature of this hall master was revealed unintentionally.
now.
Zhao Yongqi's mentality was much more relaxed.
On the one hand, he is just a small foundation-building monk. Facing the golden elixir monk, he can't change anything at all.
On the other hand, the voice of the female cultivator just now was very familiar to him. It was the voice of Master Wan Ling. At least there was some affection between him and Master Wan. With this elder here, Zhao Yongqi believed that even if the situation was No matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.
At this moment.
The purple-red door quietly opened a dark crack, and when looking in from the outside, one could only see a bottomless darkness.
Zhao Yongqi knew what this meant.
He didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately took three steps and two steps at a time, stepping into the dark crack of the door.
Zhao Yongqi's eyesight went dark at first, and then he suddenly became enlightened.
He appeared in an extremely wide rotunda hall, covering an area of nearly an acre. It was much wider than it looked from the outside. The walls of the hall were engraved with lifelike murals. Hundreds of huge bronze pillars stood tall. In the middle was a Extraordinarily huge rectangular bluestone table.
The bluestone table alone is dozens of feet long and occupies less than half of the hall.
Zhao Yongqi couldn't help but have a strange illusion.
This hall does not seem to be used by humans, but rather seems to be the residence of some kind of giant creature.
The location where Zhao Yongqi appeared.
It happens to be at the end of the long bluestone table.
He looked forward and suddenly discovered that on the surface of the long bluestone table was a lifelike portrait of a city, with mountains and water inside, vivid characters, and even scenes depicting monsters attacking the city and monks defending the city.
But.
Why are the monks and monsters moving in this portrait?
Just for a moment.
Zhao Yongqi immediately realized what kind of portrait this was. It was clearly the real-time scene of Ninety-Six City at this moment. It was unknown what kind of magical power had condensed it on the surface of the long bluestone table. In other words, the long bluestone table itself was a rare treasure.
Through the long bluestone table, one can not only see the mobilization of various monk teams in the city, but can even observe the countless monsters hundreds of miles away from Ninety-Six City, surging towards Ninety-Six City like a tide. Come.
Zhao Yongqi didn't have time to think too much.
Because at the end of the long bluestone table, there were three people looking at him.
The person in the middle is wearing dazzling golden armor and a golden war helmet. Behind him is a nearly ten feet red gold dragon spear, like a flag, standing quietly behind this person. , only his eyes were not covered by the golden armor.
His eyes were calm and firm.
Zhao Yongqi just looked at him.
From his eyes, I felt unparalleled confidence. He seemed to be born with a courageous momentum. It seemed that no one in the world could stop his steps. Even if there was a huge mountain in front of him, he would split it in two. .
