"This is Penglai? The legendary divine realm Penglai?"
Xiao Zhong murmured.
"It's not like the realm of gods. Where did those gods go? Were they killed?"
Lady Liu covered her mouth and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
Su Qinqin's beauty was even more pale.
"God is dead..."
Existences such as immortals, gods, Buddhas and demons have always existed only in legends for the common people. Even though there was a battle to kill immortals in Jianghu led by Chang An three years ago, those killed were all those who once lived in the world. people.
Sword God, Liu Yidao, Jia Wu, they are just extremely powerful people.
But Penglai is different. It is the realm of immortality in real world legends. The Queen Mother of Penglai has repeatedly appeared in mortal legends of various eras.
But now, the dilapidated ancestral temple, the dilapidated palace, and the vast death aura were like a huge slap in the face, which severely stunned the few people in front of them.
"Snapped!"
Madam Hu really slapped herself hard.
"This is a dream!"
But the clear pain on her face told her that this was not a dream.
"That's not right. According to legend, shouldn't Penglai be at the end of the East China Sea? But this is obviously not the East China Sea."
Xiao Zhong discovered the problem, and Wu Qinghui immediately realized that this was not the East China Sea at all, but below the capital. How could they appear in Penglai?
"Is this an illusion?"
Lady Liu said.
Su Qinqin has recovered now.
"Little bell."
She winked at Xiao Zhong.
"Try it."
Several people looked at Xiao Zhong and saw Xiao Zhong taking out a piece of black powder from his arms.
Wu Qinghui was shocked and said
"Qinqin, you are crazy, maybe you want to blow up Penglai."
Su Qinqin looked at her feet. There was a broken road at the end of the tunnel, and there was a hundred-foot cliff below. Penglai City was under the cliff. Jumping down would be like committing suicide.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Wu Qinghui looked at the sky in fear.
"But that is the realm of gods after all. What should I do if I suffer retribution?"
Su Qinqin was too lazy to pay attention to her and signaled Xiao Zhong to throw down the black powder.
The small black ball fell downwards, and under the expectant gazes of several people, it just fell a few feet and exploded.
In their horrified sight, a looming air barrier glowing with golden light flashed away. The small ball just touched the air barrier and detonated directly.
"As expected of a divine realm, it has such an amazing protective barrier."
Now, everyone knew that the scene in front of them was no longer an illusion. How could an illusion have such a real protective barrier?
"It's over, you will be punished."
Wu Qing Huishen is nagging.
But at this moment, the tunnel suddenly shook, and the entire underground world seemed to collapse. Then, a faint explosion was heard above the ground.
A few people panicked and ran back.
"What's going on? What happened up there?"
Su Qinqin looked very ugly. They were so deep underground at the moment that they would never hear the normal explosion.
The time is pushed back to four hours ago, in the afternoon, at the quarry.
The building owner was listening to Leng Lianyi's report.
"Every gate of Taiyang City is heavily guarded by Taiyang Mansion soldiers, and the entire city has been sealed."
The building owner glanced at Leng Lianyi.
"But you can come and go as you please."
Leng Lianyi nodded.
"The so-called heavy guarding is just like a decoration to the martial arts masters, but..."
"Just what?"
"As my subordinate said just now, even though the city gate is sealed, many Jianghu people still ignore the guards and enter and leave the capital at will. However, the guards don't seem to care at all. In just half a day, many Jianghu sect spies entered the capital. The people in Taiyang Mansion don’t care about them.”
When the building owner heard this, he lowered his head and said to himself
"Interesting, it's like opening the door specially for Jianghu people, go on."
Leng Lianyi continued
"The subordinates at the fireworks shop have also asked, and they already prepared a thousand and ten fireworks yesterday."
The owner of the building turned his eyes to Pingchuan beside him. The bamboo hat in front of him covered his face and his expression could not be seen clearly.
The building owner stared at Pingchuan for a long time and said slowly
"These thousands of fireworks require a lot of saltpeter, but the fireworks shop completed it in such a short time. Sir, how do you explain it?"
Pingchuan lowered his head and said
"This business was decided by the former Minister of Revenue, Shuxi, during his lifetime. I can't disobey it for fear of being found out."
"snort!"
The building owner snorted coldly, not satisfied with his answer, and looked at him with a half-smile.
"But Xi Shusi's death was just right? It's very similar to my style on the twelfth floor, killing people and keeping silence."
Suddenly, Leng Lianyi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but shudder. The inner wall of energy outside the main body of the building slowly unfolded, and a bone-chilling murderous intent filled the surroundings.
"Ever since I gained the trust of Minister Xi and became the steward of the quarry, I have been staying in this quarry and have never been to the city. Naturally, I have no ability to kill people and silence them. Besides, why do I do this? ?”
Pingchuan's figure is as stable as a mountain, and even under the pressure of the building owner, he speaks in an orderly manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
The building owner's eyes flickered, he thought for a long time, and slowly regained his momentum.
"That day, my husband came to me on the twelfth floor and recommended himself to supervise the construction of the five cities. I gave him the greatest trust. He wanted to come to the capital to select materials. I also got him the position of manager of the quarry. Now, he can Have you chosen the materials for building the city?"
Pingchuan nodded slowly.
"The selection of materials is complete, but there is still one thing missing."
The building owner frowned.
"The last batch of bronze is on the way. According to Sir's request, one hundred thousand bronzes will be used as the foundation. Now it is almost completed, and Sir's selection of materials has been completed. Chang'an, the Sword God's Sword, will be delivered on his own. What else is missing?"
"Immortal blood."
"Immortal blood? Chang Sheng?"
Pingchuan nodded.
"Of course, the twelfth floor of the Five Cities, no matter how brilliant and tall it is, is still a mortal thing. Without the blood of the immortal to pull the sword of the sword god, how can it be said to be a god?"
The building owner hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go get it myself for sir."
Before he could finish his words, his figure had already disappeared from the spot. Leng Lianyi was amazed by the high level of Qinggong.
When the building owner's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the horizon, Leng Lianyi stood up.
"Does he believe it?"
He looked at Pingchuan suspiciously.
Pingchuan glanced at him.
"Why doesn't he believe it? I didn't lie."
Leng Lianyi's eyes showed worry
"What about him?"
Pingchuan smiled faintly.
"Now that you've gone in, you can't come back."
"How sure are you?"
"That depends on how tightly you seal the city gate."
Hearing this, Leng Lianyi said
"You told me that all you need is sulfur. I have stolen all the nearby villages several times, but the owner of the building is so high in Qinggong that I may not be able to stop him."
"No problem, tell the people in Taiyang Mansion to put these on the city wall, just place one every twenty feet."
With that said, Pingchuan handed Leng Lianyi a handful of small black balls. Leng Lianyi's eyes widened when he saw it, and he said in surprise.
"so much?"
Pingchuan Road
"What's left is enough."
Sweating profusely in cold exercise clothes
"It's just the leftovers. Don't you want to blow up the sky?"
Just an hour before Su Qinqin and others reached the end of the tunnel.
Pang Chong and Kuang Zhang had already led the army to the front of Wuying Hall.
More than two thousand officers and soldiers from Fengying Camp of Ming Dynasty guard the main hall here.
Pang Chong took the lead and was about to rush into the army, but he heard the door of the palace suddenly opened.
King Xiang came out.
"stop!"
The officers and soldiers of Chuanfeng Camp moved out of the way, and the Prime Minister stepped forward and bowed to the two saints on the gold and silver carriage in the center.
"Prince Xiang, why do you do this?"
Until now, the Human Emperor is unwilling to believe that King Xiang really wants to usurp the throne.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is useless to talk too much."
The Prime Minister waved his hand, and two thousand officers and soldiers flashed their spears.
"Protect the Second Saint!"
Kuang Zhang shouted and immediately led his troops to rush away.
The two armies were fighting together. At this moment, both sides had exhausted their means and only a fierce battle was left.
In the chaos of the army, Pang Chong felt as if he was in an uninhabited land, fighting vertically and horizontally, relying on the master-level internal strength wall, and ordinary weapons could not get close at all.
However, always deploying the inner wall of strength, after all, it consumes a lot. He opens and closes widely, rampaging through the chaos, and quickly looking for the figure of the Prime Minister.
However, they saw that the Prime Minister was still standing in the chaos with his hands behind his hands, his expression as usual, unmoved by the fighting around him. Occasionally, soldiers came to kill him, but they were blocked by the elite guards beside him.
The two sides fought for a long time, and the number of casualties was almost one for one. At this moment, a total of thousands of people had fallen.
But at this moment, officers and soldiers came to the side corridor of Wuying Palace and shouted at the Prime Minister.
"There are changes in the Qiankun Palace!"
The Prime Minister's expression changed, and his eyes darkened slightly, but he only hesitated for a moment, with a look of determination on his face.
"Please immortal!"
The Prime Minister's face turned red and he shouted loudly. The sound of the two armies' fighting was covered up and spread throughout the Wuying Palace.
In an instant, the earth shook and mountains shook, and sudden changes occurred!
Everyone saw thick smoke billowing from the sky, and the fire lit up half the sky!
Starting from Tea Street on the westernmost side of Twelfth Street, the aroma of wine overflows on the street, slowly spreading and flowing.
When it reached a place, there was a small gap in the road ahead. The slate in the gap seemed to be newly paved. Under the washing of the wine, the slate slowly faded into white saltpeter.
Then, above the street, there were suddenly gorgeous fireworks rising into the sky.
"boom!"
"Snapped!"
The dark night sky added a bit of beauty, and the sparks from the fireworks fell to the ground, igniting the wine.
The saltpeter that had been spread on the ground a long time ago and was disguised as stone slabs by the officers and soldiers of Chuanfeng Camp burned every inch. Above the street, a fire dragon exploded and devoured it crazily forward. However, this was just the beginning. Every time the fire dragon passed by Ten feet later, there was another explosion, and the fire dragon was even more powerful.
All the houses and buildings he passed were swallowed up by the fire dragon.
At Lu's Steamed Bun Shop, the old couple of Lu's were mourning their dead son.
In just a moment, the temperature in the room rose rapidly, and then their cheeks turned red.
"It's so hot."
Uncle Lu only said one sentence, and in Aunt Lu's cloudy eyes, a blazing fire dragon directly engulfed the person in front of him.
"ah……"
After just half a scream, Aunt Lu's whole body was on fire. The intense burning and pain left her no time to think about where the fire came from.
In the agony of despair, she bared her teeth and claws, broke down the door, and ran onto the street.
Then, the fire dragon that ravaged everything burned her directly into a charred corpse.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
"Help!"
In just a short moment, wailing sounds could be heard on the streets.
Just like the old couple, countless people who were on fire pushed open the door of their house and ran to the street in panic. As soon as they opened the door, they were directly swallowed by the fire dragon and silently turned into charred sculptures.
