Chapter 1302 It's Hard for a Clever Woman to Cook without Rice!
Northwest tutelary mansion.
Dai Xingcheng, the city lord's mansion.
Qu Hongde came to pay a visit to the city lord Fu Zhengqing early in the morning, with a worried expression on his face.
Fu Zhengqing personally went out to greet him, and invited the old headmaster of the master class to his private living room, specially took out the spiritual tea that he had treasured for a long time, and brewed it for Qu Hongde himself.
"If Mr. Qu has any orders, just send someone over to let me know. I will pay a visit in person. Why don't you come over in person again?"
Handing the brewed spiritual tea to Qu Hongde's desk with both hands, Fu Zhengqing approached Qu Hongde politely.
I haven't seen him for a while, but Qu Hongde's cultivation has improved again, and now he has broken through to the realm of a sixth-level Martial King, and he seems to be breaking free from the cage and soaring into the sky.
Fu Zhengqing knew that this might be the embodiment of Qu Hongde's real talent.
If it wasn't for the poison entering his body, the old man would not be able to make any progress in his cultivation, and he had been in the half-step king realm for nearly a hundred years. Qu Laodang had already stepped into the king realm in one fell swoop when the second spiritual power tide erupted. up.
Compared with Mr. Qu's rapid progress after breaking through, Fu Zhengqing was extremely dissatisfied with his own practice speed.
He obtained a lot of training resources from Yang Fan, and caught up with the great change in spiritual power after the fifteenth spiritual power tide. As a result, after so long, he was able to reach the cultivation level of the ninth-level martial king.
Even Emperor Zun is not, and he is still at the bottom of all the domain owners in the thirty-six domains of the federation, what a shame.
"You boy, why are you so polite in front of this old man?"
Qu Hongde was not polite to Fu Zhengqing, and said directly:
"The old man just got the news. Now the entire thirty-six domains of the federation are trying to build a new type of protective formation. Don't you, the owner of the Northwest domain, have no idea?"
As early as yesterday, the battle situation in the central city of the Federation had been reported to the Northwest tutelary mansion, and the power of the new city guard formation also became famous.
Who doesn't care about a super defensive formation that can trap and kill even half-emperors and monsters?
At this special stage when the emperor is not here, having such a protective formation that can trap and kill the half-emperor and the big monster is simply the safest guarantee of survival, is there any?
In the thirty-six domains of the federation, which domain owner doesn't want to build such a large moat outside his own city?
But on the side of their northwestern guard mansion, the city lord's mansion has been silent for a long time, and those powerful families with keen information in the city can't help but start to murmur in their hearts.
They couldn't come directly to question Fu Zhengqing, the city lord, so they had to focus on Qu Hongde, who was able to talk to the city lord in the city and was also highly respected.
Therefore, countless news began to appear in front of Qu Hongde who had been in seclusion for many days in various ways.
"I understand what Elder Qu means, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!"
Fu Zhengqing smiled wryly. He had guessed Qu Hongde's intention early on. In fact, Qu Hongde was not the first person who came to raise this issue with him.
As early as the day before yesterday, the news of the victory in the battle of the federal central city's defense came. Fu Zhengqing had received a notice from several other allied domain masters, saying that the domain masters of all domains went to the federal central city at the same time to discuss with the federal central government. It is necessary to build a new type of defensive formation.
then,
Fu Zhengqing directly refused on the grounds of retreat and breakthrough.
It's not that he doesn't want to join in the fun, or that he doesn't fit in, but that his strength doesn't allow him.
Federal Central City is no better than Jinghua City.
When the thirty-six domain masters gathered in Jinghua before, although the current situation was chaotic, it was only limited to the disputes between the kings. Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde still had enough energy to travel thousands of miles to Jinghua City.
But now, even the half-emperor has started to act as a monster, and emperor-level battles can be seen everywhere. In addition, the federal central city is far more than 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers away from their northwest tutelary mansion.
Considering that they don't even have the foundation of a serious emperor in the northwestern guard mansion, going out to wander is tantamount to courting death.
The lowest level majors in other domains are Emperor Wu of the sixth or seventh level, and it only takes about half an hour to go to the central city of the Federation. As for him, Fu Zhengqing, he is not even a peak king level, so he can't compare it at all.
Fu Zhengqing had no doubts at all. If he dared to go to the federal central city to join in the fun, even if he was traveling with other emperor-level domain masters, the possibility of dying in the middle would definitely be more than 80%.
He is not stupid, how could he go out to seek death at this time?
Even if those emperor-level allies are willing to protect him and take him for a ride, if there is a real emperor-level war and encounters an attack from a demon emperor or a half-step demon emperor, who will really fight for a ninth-level demon like him? King Wu is going to fight for his life?
"I'm only at the ninth level of Martial King, and I'm not even Emperor Zun. Let alone whether I can make it to the central city of the Federation alive, even if I can make it, so what?"
"In order to build this second-level spiritual protection city outside the city, the resources of the entire tutelary mansion were almost exhausted. It was only because the federal central government gave nearly 60% of the subsidy in advance to barely complete it."
"Now, the current situation is chaotic, and our family is not rich enough. If we spend more money to build a new type of protective formation, the residents of the entire Daixing City may have to starve."
In a word, there is no money.
Everyone knows that the large defensive formation that can stop or even trap the half-emperor monster is a good thing, but the problem is that they have more than enough heart to defend the Northwest Township, but not enough power.
Just like back then, they clearly knew that the most powerful psychic barrier in the federation was the first-class special psychic barrier, which could withstand even the emperor's attack after being fully activated.
But why did their northwest tutelary mansion choose to build a second-class special spiritual protection array?
Is it because they don't want to increase the protection level of Dai Xingcheng?
NO!
It's not that they didn't want to, but with their financial resources and resources at that time, they simply couldn't support the construction of the first-class special psychic protection array, so they had to settle for the second best and chose the second-class psychic protection formation.
The current situation is the same. No matter how powerful the new-type moat formation is, they don't have the financial resources and resources. What's the point of going there?
Counting on full funding from the federal center government? There has never been such a precedent, okay?
The thirty-six domains of the federation all have a certain degree of autonomy, and the annual tax collected by the central government of the federation is relatively low. In fact, many financial affairs need to be resolved by each domain itself.
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to expect the Central Government of the Federation to show mercy and allocate full funds to the Northwest Town Guard Mansion to build a large defensive formation.
Qu Hongdeba smacked his lips twice. It is a fact that the Northwest has always been poor.
"Didn't it mean that Yang Fan is in charge of all the construction of the protective formation now? Maybe we can go to Jinghua City to find him to find a solution?"
Qu Hongde softly put forward his suggestion.
Yang Fan is one of his own, and the founder of the city protection formation, it is much better to find him than to go directly to the federal central city and cry poorly.
"Of course there is no problem finding Junior Brother Yang Fan."
Fu Zhengqing smiled wryly again: "But the problem is that Junior Brother Yang Fan is only responsible for teaching spiritual masters from various domains how to build formations, but our Northwest Town Guard Mansion can't even find a spiritual master now, so what's the use of going there?" ?”
In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of talents and resources. No matter how well that boy Yang Fan is doing outside, he is still only one person after all. Could he still provide them with all the materials?
Daixing City is not West Chu City, West Chu City is Yang Fan's hometown, there are not many rules, and Zhu Huanan personally sits in it, Yang Fan may still have the ability to build a new type of protective formation for West Chu City for free.
But Dai Xingcheng is really too big, and the resources consumed must be astronomical. No matter how thick-skinned Fu Zhengqing is, he is too embarrassed to talk to Yang Fan about it.
"Having said that, we can't just do nothing. The current situation is unstable, and one day there may be a demon emperor or even a half-step demon emperor to come over..."
Qu Hongde couldn't help frowning, no matter how poor the Northwest is, it's also their hometown, and they have to protect it even if they die.
Qu Hongde wanted to say something more, but suddenly sensed that there seemed to be something abnormal in the void, so he suddenly raised his head and looked up.
The same is true for Fu Zhengqing. While looking up, he also teleported out of the city.
"Where did so many human emperors come from? Why did they come to the northwest of me?"
Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde couldn't help but tense at the same time, feeling the powerful coercion transmitted from several emperor-level powerhouses.
Why have so many Emperor Zun powerhouses come to their northwest town guard mansion? Could it be that they are here to find fault?
When they got closer, Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde's gazes were almost all focused on Ling Tian, Sang Duoduo and Ji Danyun, who had the highest cultivation and strength and the most intimidating soul to them.
Intuition told them that the cultivation strength of these three people may have exceeded the scope of the emperor's strongman, and it is very likely that they have reached the half-step emperor state.
At the same time, they also identified the identities of Ling Tian and Ji Danyun among the three, especially when they saw An Sheng and Tian Feiyao standing in the crowd, they couldn't help but feel at ease, and became more sure of these people Friend rather than foe.
However, what made them a little unbelievable was that the cultivation strength of these people was too fantastic, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.
That's all for Ling Tian and Ji Danyun. When they met last time, Ling Tian's cultivation was already close to the peak of the Spirit Emperor, and Ji Danyun stayed at the peak of the Spirit Emperor for decades. When encountering opportunities, he occasionally made breakthroughs. Still within reason.
But what happened to the little fat man An Sheng and the little girl Tian Feiyao?
These two juniors know the basics well. They had met them when the martial arts secret realm was opened.
One is under the grandmaster, and the other has just advanced to the grandmaster realm. Although they are both talented people, their strength is still within the understandable range.
But what's going on now, how come they haven't seen each other for a few months, and the cultivation realm of these two people has surpassed these two old guys?
Ninth-level spiritual master, have these two juniors eaten rockets, and the breakthrough speed is so fast? !
"What are you still doing in a daze, the two in front of you, one is the brother of the master, and the other is the master of the master, hurry up and come over to pay respects!"
At this time, the little fat man An Sheng took two steps forward, first bowed to Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing in a polite manner, then turned around, posing as a chief senior brother to the juniors and younger sisters behind him Some training.
A thief has style.
Just when Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing were still a little shocked and curious about why this little fat man An Sheng dared to be so rude to these half-step emperors and emperors, something happened that made them even more confused and at a loss.
These emperor-level and half-step emperor-level powerful men in their eyes actually obeyed An Sheng's orders, bowed to the two of them one by one, and performed a junior etiquette solidly .
"Meet the master!"
"Meet Master!"
Everyone greeted him in unison, even including Ji Danyun, who is the master of a domain.
I really saw a ghost, what happened, why does it feel like the whole world is a little abnormal?
Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing were immediately stunned, and they both wanted to raise their hands and slap themselves hard to see if they were still dreaming.
