Chapter 807 On the Verge of Breaking Out
"Hmm..." Xia Fan stared at the brief map and said nothing.
This mountainous area is located in the narrow middle of Yama Island. There are two peaks connected together like a curved spine, but it is very short and will not cause too much hindrance to east-west traffic. Therefore, when people cross Yamada Island, they usually go around both ends of the mountainous area. This can also be seen from the distribution of official roads.
The temple is located in the depression of the ridge.
From a strategic point of view, this place is neither a transportation center nor a commanding height, so there is really no need to fight for it. But Xia Fan also believes that the Seven Star Privy Council is not without this judgment - since the other party is here, he must have a plan. In addition, King Dongsheng is also marching into the mountainous area, so this place must be extraordinary.
After experiencing the trial of climbing the Dragon Tower, he already knew that there were still giant magic weapons like buildings in this world, or that everyone lived in an ultimate magic weapon. However, some facilities were created by the Escape Committee, such as escape towers, while others had unknown origins, at least no records were left in Sicon's database.
He had reason to suspect that the so-called Yueying Temple was also a magical artifact built in ancient times.
"Are there any records or legends about this temple in Yama Kingdom?"
"That...I'm not sure." May Haruka felt a little ashamed, "Yama Kingdom lost the central region a long time ago, and Chiba-sama was also urgently selected as the queen before the last queen died of illness...for a long time No one has time to care about things other than survival.”
"But this temple seems to have existed a long time ago..." Nagi Hong added, "Except for its name, we know nothing about it. After learning about the whereabouts of Qixing, we also sent people to ask the local woodcutter With the Orions, it turns out they don’t know much more than we do. Because no one is worshiping, this temple is very dilapidated, and only people who have to spend the night in the mountains will use it as a place to stay.”
The ancient temple in the barren mountain has all the elements...
Xia Fan pursed his lips. If he had known this information earlier, he could have flown to Yueying Temple alone to investigate, but now that Qixing had taken the lead, it would not be appropriate for him to rush in rashly.
After all, the Seven Star Privy Council is full of talents and cannot be compared with its previous opponents. This trip will inevitably encounter a large number of high-level alchemists.
"This information is very important." Xia Fan concluded, "Jin Xia's main purpose in coming to Yama Island is to prevent the Seven Star Privy Council from realizing its own intentions. No matter what secrets are hidden in the temple, we at least know the enemy. The next step is to catch up.”
"We can cooperate with the Jinxia Army and approach the mountainous area from the east." Wuyue Yao immediately expressed his position, "Although there are not many troops willing to obey my dispatch, there are still four to five thousand people, whether it is to intercept the Dongsheng Army or to besiege the Seven Stars Army No problem.”
The size of the princes' troops on Yama Island is not large to begin with. Four to five thousand people is probably all the wealth the other party can get.
"Very good, then I'll help you." Xia Fan nodded slightly. By then, the main forces of Qixing, Dongsheng, Queen and Jinxia will gather in one place, and this battle will also completely establish the situation on Yama Island.
…
Fu Mi Fu Temple.
The surrounding streets have been surrounded by the city's main guards, and hundreds of torches illuminate the night like day. Under such circumstances, let alone leaving the compound quietly, even a bird flying out will be noticed.
One day after the search order was conveyed, Yuanjiu Shidi had already shown obvious impatience. Not only did they come to the courtyard to negotiate in person, but the soldiers also began to get ready and tried to break into the front door with weapons many times. If it weren't for the monk soldiers who also held spears and other weapons and refused to give way, I'm afraid they would have swarmed in long ago.
This is the first time that Fumi Temple has been established under such circumstances.
"Abbott, the city lord has issued a death order, and he will only give you one last hour." The envoy who came to persuade me was very embarrassed, "If you don't hand over the medical monk, he will order a storm on the temple. "
"This is simply unreasonable!"
"This temple is a sacred place for Buddhism. Even the city lord is not allowed to enter without permission. Aren't you afraid of offending Buddhism if you do this?"
"The rules cannot be broken. I hope you will act with caution!"
After hearing the messenger's words, all the protectors scolded one after another.
"Hey..." the abbot shook his head, "I have already said that the monk has already fled in fear of crime and his whereabouts are unknown. You can't find him here. Naturally, this temple is also responsible for this matter and will definitely make an apology later. Plan, and hope City Lord Haihan.”
"Holy monk... no, I mean the abbot, since he is no longer here, please let the soldiers come in to check." The envoy also said anxiously, "Why are you so frozen? Master Yuanjiu also needs to help the mainland. Let’s explain.”
The abbot simply closed his eyes and said no more.
The messenger stamped his feet and had no choice but to leave first, "I will convey your intention to the Lord first, but to be honest... this deadline will probably not change."
Not long after the envoy left, the protectors suddenly changed their expressions.
"What should we do? It seems that the guy from Yuanjiu Shidi will not give up this time."
"Does he really dare? Other temples are watching."
"If it were normal, Yuanjiu would definitely give up, but I'm afraid he can't help it this time... If he offends Buddhism, he will only be unable to become the city lord in the future. If he disobeys Qixing, he will probably die."
"...Abbot, what do you think we should do?"
The abbot sighed, "Wu Xin may not be able to escape this time. Where is he now?"
Perhaps due to the pressure from the Seven Stars Privy Council, this time the attitude of Yuanjiu Shidi was unusually tough, and the action was much faster than before. Wuxin did prepare a new hiding place in advance, but because the Green-faced Ghost's injury was aggravated during the jailbreak, the transfer plan was delayed for one night. And it was this night that the city lord's guards surrounded the temple.
Of course, even if they could leave the temple smoothly, they would never be able to leave the city. Under such a strict search, it is still unknown how long Wuxin's hidden foothold can protect the other party.
In a sense, they all underestimated the will of the Seven Stars of the Continent.
"Wuxin is still in the room looking after the female demon." A guardian replied.
"Call him over." The abbot said after a moment of silence, "...the other party doesn't actually want him."
The Wang family's help to Bumi Temple is indeed great. It can even be said that it is precisely because of the Wang family's funding that Buddhism can develop rapidly in the Dongsheng area. Therefore, he cannot hand Wuxin over to the city lord for emotional and rational reasons. But the abbot couldn't do this to the extent of fighting with the Ten Lands of Yuanjiu for a dying demon.
The guardians looked at each other and instantly understood what the abbot meant, "If you do this, Wuxin might..."
"I know. But I am also protecting him." The abbot put his hands together and said, "You don't have to hide it. I will bear this sin."
After controlling Wuxin, the green-faced ghost could only let others manipulate him.
At this moment, the abbot suddenly noticed a distortion in front of the temple, as if some invisible thing had quietly and silently broken into this forbidden area under the cover of night.
