Chapter 725 Jinxia's Appearance

What does Jinxia look like?

Li Mengyun glanced at everyone - in the huge room, only the candlesticks in the corners were emitting dim flames; the four other venerables stood beside the Pope, wearing uniform black robes that looked monotonous and solemn.

It was difficult to get light in the courtyard, and candles were even more rare. She didn't feel anything unusual before, but after returning from Jinxia, ​​a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Bright."

"Bright?" Wu had straightened himself.

"Everything there is very bright." She replied subconsciously, "It's the same at night. The long streets are brightly lit, and every household can afford oil lamps and candles. They even take out gunpowder to make fireworks, which are set off every night for local residents to enjoy. When they explode, the whole night sky is bright."

"And it's not just the external objects that are bright, but also the people. The clothes are colorful and the styles are different. Their faces are extremely clear, and their eyes seem to be shining. I have been to so many places, but I have never seen such a city. It's just like... it's like..."

She pondered the last sentence for a long time.

Until Wu Yi asked, "Just like the scene you saw when you accepted the Black Gate?"

"...Yes." Li Mengyun nodded slightly.

Those scenes were not all related to the doomsday disaster, they also contained some fragments of the past of Tianjing. Countless people lived here, and their eyes were like this. These residents could not all be superior people, but their mental state was not dull or numb at all, as if happiness was always with them, which was the origin of the title of "Heaven".

This remark caused the other venerables to frown.

"What are you talking about? How can a mere Yancheng be compared to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Lord Shengtian, I remember you came from Shangyuan City, right? Is the capital of Qi Kingdom not as good as a small city under your jurisdiction?"

Some people even said bluntly, "The supplies here are indeed not rich enough, but only we can be the saviors. Lord Li, you will not forget the oath you made that year because of this trip, right? I hope you don't forget that the more you enjoy a place, the weaker your ability to resist disasters."

"Okay, she is just talking about her feelings. And I believe Mengyun's statement because she has been to Jinxia, ​​but you haven't." The Pope's words made others pause, "But I want to hear more specific content. After all, they came here for the purpose of cooperation, right? Since they want to cooperate, they must know what benefits Jinxia can give us and what they hope to get from us."

"Yes, sorry, I was a little distracted before." Li Mengyun cleared her throat. She didn't know why she said such nonsense. Maybe it was because what she saw and heard in the passage was too mysterious, so she lost her usual rigor? "First of all, I think that cooperation with Jinxia is something worth promoting. Although His Highness Ning Wanjun is a relic of the royal family, she is a qi sensor and does not belong to the Privy Council, which is a great benefit to us. Moreover, Jinxia is not far from Ganzhou. If we can form an alliance, our supply and external defense will be upgraded to a higher level."

"In addition, I visited many of their technological achievements in Jinxia City. I have to say that their achievements in mechanical technology are not inferior to those of Jingji Prefecture, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have surpassed them. Especially mechanical weapons - this is also the key reason why they can defeat the Privy Council of Qiguo. I have communicated with His Highness. If we can reach a cooperation, Jinxia is willing to provide weapons to the Salvation Church. In this way, the threat of evil spirits to us will be greatly reduced."

"Weapons? Do you mean the kind of mechanical crossbow that can kill the enemy at a long distance and is not restricted by qi sensing?" The Hun Tian Zun stepped forward and said. His figure of more than seven feet is like a small mountain, and he is born to look like a warrior. In fact, this person is also the combat commander of the Tianjing District, responsible for resisting the occasional evil spirits.

"That's right." Li Mengyun nodded.

"Oh, this is really good!"

"Her Highness actually spared it?"

"Isn't she afraid that our craftsmen will copy it?"

Everyone couldn't help but discuss it.

According to the intelligence brought back by the spy in Shenzhou, this weapon is described as exquisitely crafted, and ordinary people can compete with the air sensers with it. It's a pity that the Jinxia Army has strict management, and it is difficult for outsiders to touch a weapon, so the top leaders of the Salvation Church only stay at hearing the sound but not seeing the shape. Now there is a chance to get the genuine product from the Jinxia Machinery Bureau, and this temptation is definitely not small.

"Air rifles are the big part, but not all." Li Mengyun continued, "They also have Xuanwu mechas, shock lamps, various spellcasting medicines, medical drugs... These are all things needed by the Salvation Church."

After listening to the story of the Venerable Shengtian, the discussion on the scene gradually turned into silence.

Just because this description is too outrageous, if the narrator is not Li Mengyun, others will probably shout absurd on the spot!

The Pope's expression did not change much. He exhaled lightly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. The other party is willing to offer such a generous bargaining chip, so they must have seen something in us. Tell me, what does the princess mean, and what do they want to get from the Salvation Church?"

"They are not short of food, and they don't really need our clothes." Li Mengyun said slowly, "According to the princess and Xia Fan, the other party wants the right to freely pass, explore, and trade in Baiyao Mountain. In other words, the Tianjing District will open the door to Jinxia City-"

"Absolutely not!"

Before she finished speaking, the Equal Heavenly Master interrupted her.

"That's right. Few people in the world know our location. If the ban is lifted, do you think Prince Yong can't find us?"

"And the Qixing Privy Council is the same - if Xu Guo knew that we were sitting on the ancient ruins, he would definitely not sit idly by!"

Li Mengyun knew that if she didn't speak up, the Pope would most likely make a judgment based on the opinions of other venerables, so she took a step forward without hesitation, "So what?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Let's not talk about whether Prince Yong and Qixing really don't know where we are hiding. Even if they know, they must first send troops to Qiguo before they can enter Baiyao Mountain! The Shenzhou Army has already taken over most of Ganzhou and set up camp outside Baiyao Mountain. It can be said that it has completely blocked our main entrance!" She said loudly, "In other words, if the two sides are allies, Jinxia is our outer barrier, but if they are enemies, this barrier will only be more threatening than Qixing and Prince Yong!"

Because Jinxia is closer to Baiyao Mountain.

This truth is understood by everyone.

"Is the princess threatening us?"

"I didn't see that in her, but what I said is true." Li Mengyun spread her hands and said, "The battle of the ten states has made one thing clear, who is the real master of Qi State. If Prince Yong and Qixing want to attack us, they must first overcome Jinxia - so I think your concerns are unfounded, Jinxia's true strength is far stronger than we imagined."
