Chapter 990: Sky-Watching City
However, when he found Xiao Hua and saw that there were already four disciples inside, the fire in his heart couldn't help but burst out: "I am shamelessly blending with others outside. It would be better for you to hide in a place and practice by yourself." ! If it weren’t for Master’s instructions, I wouldn’t care about your life or death!”
Immediately, Cui Hongshen glared at Xiao Hua, turned around and found the farthest quiet room, and sat down without saying hello to the three Qi Refining disciples inside.
"I've seen you, Uncle Master!" When the three Qi Refining disciples saw the Foundation Establishment disciple coming in, they didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Yeah" Cui Hongshen waved his sleeves and didn't return the greeting. He just closed his eyes in response.
The three Qi refining disciples looked at me and I looked at you, with strange expressions on their faces...
The northwest of the Xi Kingdom is already very cold, although it is not as cold as the Huan Kingdom. The water turns into ice and the world is covered with ice and snow! But the mountains and forests are often covered with snow, and even the peaks of some high mountains are covered with snow all year round!
There are really few secular people living here, and only some mortals gather in some slightly warmer places on the edge of the mountains and forests. Naturally, they cannot live by planting rice. Most of them make a living by hunting and digging mountains and forests. Make a living from the spiritual grass in it! Naturally, these spiritual herbs cannot be compared with the spiritual herbs taken by monks. They are just some slightly older spiritual herbs that are extremely ordinary in the eyes of monks.
This harsh environment is fatal to secular people, but it is extremely tempting to monks! This is because in the northwest of Xi Country, the spiritual energy is quite strong, and the products are rich. There are many cold-resistant spiritual grasses, and there are even dozens of large and small spiritual stone veins!
Under such circumstances, not only are there many cultivation families, but there are also several cultivation sects! The most famous of these cultivation families are the Bai family in Motian Ridge, the Mei family in Glacier Valley, and the Niu family in Qingfeng Mountain. Their family heads are all in the late stages of foundation building, and are only a little short of cultivating the golden elixir! There are quite a few other small cultivation families, but most of them are below the middle stage of foundation building and cannot enter the eyes of cultivation sects! As for the cultivation sects, there are Bingpo Sect, Xuewu Sect, Songtaoling and Hanshan Mingzong, etc. The leaders of these sects are basically in the early or middle stages of the Golden Core, and the strongest ones are almost in the late Golden stage!
Of course, counting these cultivation families and sects, Xantian City is the most powerful!
Xantian City is one of the seven major cities in the Xi Kingdom, and its city lord Xueyu Zhenren is already a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul!
Xantian City is different from Jingbo City, Weeping Moon City, etc. It is built on the snow-covered plateau. The top of the snowy mountain peak. The entire city is like a fortress in the snow. Standing on the city wall, you can actually trample thousands of miles of snow around you under your feet!
In this respect, Xantian City is somewhat similar to Haoming City! only. There are monks and secular people in Haoming City, but Xantian City is so high up there that it has no flying skills.
It's impossible to get up without relying on the teleportation array, so all of them are monks! Not even half a worldly person!
Normally, there are not many monks flying out of Xiantian City. Only the city guards of Xantian City go out in teams at regular intervals to patrol hundreds of miles around Xantian City. Most of the ordinary monks use the teleportation array! After all, this is a snowy land. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, the climate is harsh. It is unlikely that the monks who are pampered will spend their mana fighting against the cold wind and blizzard.
However, in the past year or so, the situation has changed greatly. Not only have there been more monks flying in from the wind and snow, but they have also come in flying magic weapons. There are more monks in groups! The previously deserted streets of Xantian City were now crowded. Needless to say, this was caused by the invasion of Xi State by sword cultivators from Huan State!
Of course, Xantian City is still far from the border between Huan State and Xi State, and the sword cultivators from Huan State have not yet reached this place, but this is the largest city in Xi State close to Huan State. It has always been a stronghold for Dao Zong to rest when sword cultivators fight against Dao Zong. Most of the monks from Xi Country, Meng Country and Lian Country gather here. There are leaders elected by monks from various sects in the Three Kingdoms to direct the battle with sword cultivators! It is for this reason that the number of monks increased. Some casual cultivators, cultivating families, and even monks who were not selected from various sects also gathered here. Some small bidding societies and Yiji gatherings gradually became prosperous, and even the shops in Xantian City became lively.
It seems that the tense battle ahead and the bloody breath have not yet reached here!
However, it is normal. Sword cultivators have not invaded the Xi Country for tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years, but they have never attacked Xantian City! According to the ancient records of Xantian City, it was only 200,000 years ago that Xantian City was occasionally attacked by Jian Xiu, but only three years later, it was captured by Dao Sect! And drove the sword cultivator out of Xi Country!
In addition, the city lord of Xantian City has always been held by Yuanying monks! That is a master who is equivalent to the realm of sword cultivator. If even the city lord of Xantian City wants to participate in the battle, then the masters of the three major sects of Xi Kingdom will definitely come, and the masters of Meng Kingdom and Lian Kingdom will also come. With these Nascent Soul cultivators, what danger is there in Xantian City? Therefore, monks who do not participate in the war are not afraid of anything! The sword cultivator is here, at worst he has to run away!
But what about the monks who participated in the war?
On this day, there was heavy snow in the sky, covering the entire sky like flying goose feathers. Xuantian City stood on the top of the snowy area, and the entire city was covered by heavy snow! It is not that Xuantian City does not have a defensive array, but this array is also divided into several levels. Of course, the highest level can block snowflakes, but this consumes a lot of spiritual stones. There is no reason for Xuantian City to waste it unnecessarily.
Even on such a snowy day, the monks did not stop their steps. Many of them were shining with brilliance, blocking the snowflakes from themselves, and coming in and out from the gate of Xantian City from time to time.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." A loud voice sounded from far away, "There is a battle report from the Western Front!"
"Western Front? What's wrong with the Western Front??" After hearing this, all the monks ducked away and cleared the air leading to the gate of Xantian City. Several older monks stopped in the air and looked at An early-stage foundation-building monk wearing a guard uniform of Xuntian City and holding a snow-white flag in his hand frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice.
"The battle report needs to be sent to Yan Xi's Mansion before it can be issued by the seniors in the manor. I don't dare to make the decision without authorization!" The city guard cupped his hands unceremoniously, and without stopping in mid-air, he passed by these monks. Rushed into Xiantian City.
"Oh, it's been nearly a year! This confrontation with the Huan Kingdom... there is always no good news. Looking at the expressions of your city guards this time, I'm quite anxious. I'm afraid it's not good news!" A mid-stage foundation building official The monk sighed and said to an old man next to him who was in the late stage of foundation building.
"Yes!" The old man was flying to Xantian City. He glanced at the monk who was talking to him and nodded, "The sword cultivators from Huan Kingdom have stronger attack power than the monks like us! And this time they struck preemptively. Come prepared, if we can drive them out at the beginning of the war, that would be strange! From what I see, this time will be the same as before, there will be nothing special. I am a cultivator of the Three Kingdoms. Gradually, when disciples from various sects and families arrive, our strength will increase! The disadvantage of this war will gradually reverse, and in the end, the sword cultivator will still be driven away!"
"That's right, I think so too!" The monk in the middle stage of foundation building said with a smile, "It's not like sword cultivators and monks from Dao Sect have ever had one or two confrontations! They have been huddled in Huan Kingdom for so many years, so it's unlikely that they will Come out this time!"
"Actually, Sword Cultivator and I don't have much grudges against Dao Sect. Apart from this war, disciples from various countries have fights against each other from time to time, and there is nothing dirty!" The old man disagreed very much, "I heard that this time the sword cultivator Xiu launched a large-scale attack on our country of Xiu, and the excuse was that his swordsman was missing in the country of Mongolia! And Xunren’s predecessor was also killed! You said... isn’t this nonsense? Which monk of my Three Kingdoms died? Will the members of the sect mobilize their troops to attack? I, the Three Kingdoms of Xiu Zhen, have suffered many losses in Huan State and have not attacked Huan State in large numbers?"
"That's right!" The monk in the middle stage of foundation building agreed, "If possible, this time my Three Kingdoms cultivators might as well rush into the Huan Kingdom and kill all the sword cultivators!"
"Ignorance!" the old man scolded, "If the sword cultivator is killed, who will resist the millions of soul cultivators? Don't forget that soul cultivators are extremely difficult to deal with. The flying swords of sword cultivators are the nemesis of soul arts. I Daozong’s magic won’t work!”
"Yes, I have indeed forgotten the advantages and disadvantages of this layer!" The monk in the foundation building said with a smile, "Thinking about the unpredictable soul skills of Soul Cultivator, it almost makes my hair stand on end!"
"Let's go~ After entering the city gate, you will see Yan Xi's Mansion ahead. I'll wait and see what happened!" The two of them had already reached the city gate while they were talking.
But in front of the city gate, which is several feet high, there are dozens of city guards of Xantian City standing. Most of them are in the Qi Refining Realm, and only a few are foundation-building monks! The one with the highest cultivation level is actually near the late stage of foundation building.
"Do you two seniors have identity tokens issued by the Three Kingdoms?" Two Qi Refining disciples respectfully stepped forward to salute and stopped the two of them!
"Well, I am a monk of the Yanjiang Sect. I happened to be training in Xi Country this time. This is my token!" The old man in the late stage of foundation building clapped his hands, took out a token and handed it to the disciple. said.
"Oh~ Senior, wait a minute!" The disciple reached out to take it, clapped his hand, took out a mirror-like magic weapon from the storage bag, and placed it on top of the token! But when the magic power was activated, a white light flashed on the mirror. Within the white light were three haloes of different colors, and the image of an old man actually appeared in one of the haloes!
"Senior, please!" The disciple finished the inspection, returned it to the old man, and said with a smile, "Senior's token was jointly issued by the Three Kingdoms, and the magic power in it fluctuates no different!"
