Chapter 153 City Defense Formation

Just as Zhang Ye took two steps, a loud shout came: "Zhang Ye!"

Zhang Ye felt a chill on his back, and quickly drew his sword and turned around, only to see a bearded man covering his mouth, as excited as a fangirl: "Oh my god, it's really Zhang Ye, I'm your fan!"

Hearing Zhang Ye's name, people nearby swarmed in and wrapped Zhang Ye up in three layers. From time to time, he was touched by the female monks, which made Zhang Ye blush.

Zhang Ye thought that they were all his fans, and he was embarrassed to scold them, so he had to bite the bullet and lead everyone to the blacksmith shop.

The elders of the Tianbing Pavilion thrust their knives back and stared at the scene in amazement: "Chief Elder, what should we do?"

Zhang Ye was surrounded by three layers inside and outside. If those people were just some small monks, it would be fine, but there were actually several masters of the transformation of the spirit among them. The most important thing is that the bearded man is a great power in the fusion realm. He leaned on Zhang Ye's shoulder with a shy face, and it was difficult for the Tianbing Pavilion to kill him with one blow.

The chief elder's face was livid: "Wait until he is alone!"

...

When Zhang Ye returned to the blacksmith shop, the number of people following him had reached several hundred, which shows how popular Zhang Ye is.

At the blacksmith shop, the city guards did not block the street, so the monks were able to line up again. Zhang Ye glanced with satisfaction and found that the guard was actually ranked first? Zhang Ye's face darkened instantly, is this called queuing?

Zhang Ye turned around and wanted to leave, but his way back was blocked by hundreds of people, so Zhang Ye had to walk to the main door of the blacksmith shop and prepare to enter from the main door.

"Master Zhang." The guard and other monks saluted respectfully.

Zhang Ye didn't want to pay attention to the guard, but he couldn't help it and scolded: "Do you think I will make magic weapons for you just because you are ranked first by force? No way!"

The guard was stunned, and Mu Qianhu on the side said angrily: "My master's position was bought with five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

Five hundred high-grade spirit stones? Damn, it's more expensive than the fee for making magic weapons by yourself. Zhang Ye had heard that there were people outside the blacksmith shop who queued up and sold numbers, but he had never thought that they would be sold at such a high price.

After Mu Qianhu said this, Zhang Ye knew that he had wrongly blamed the guard, and as the owner of the blacksmith shop, he was still a little embarrassed to ignore the chaos of queuing and selling numbers.

Zhang Ye opened the main door of the blacksmith shop and said, "I will accept ten orders today. Listen to the people behind. From now on, you are not allowed to jump the queue, queue up for others, transfer the sequence, etc. Otherwise, you will not be able to forge magic weapons. Supervise each other!"

Zhang Ye established a new rule, and many monks froze. They were about to complain, but more people cheered like thunder.

These monks were all those who had no money and power and really wanted to ask for magic weapons. They relied on their own abilities to queue up regardless of wind and rain, but because of those scalpers who queued up and resold, it increased a lot of difficulties. Zhang Ye's rule would naturally get their support.

Having said that, what if they don't support it? Zhang Ye has absolute control over this matter.

Some scalpers felt that it was futile to continue, and many of them withdrew from the team, but there were still many scalpers who insisted on it, thinking that Zhang Ye was just a whim and would forget about it in a few days.

However, Zhang Ye did something next, which made these scalpers completely give up. Zhang Ye entered the blacksmith shop and did not take the job immediately. He made a columnar magic weapon with clanging and clanging. It was a top-grade magic weapon.

Zhang Ye placed it at the door of the blacksmith shop, and then demonstrated the usage while explaining: "Each person can only take one ticket with a handprint. Before the bill is cancelled, you can't take it again. If the bill does not match the person, the order will not be accepted..."

Zhang Ye named this columnar magic weapon a ticket taker, and the monks came forward and took the tickets by handprint.

The last batch of scalpers couldn't hold on and retreated one after another. As a result, the team was reduced by half.

Zhang Ye then opened the door to take orders. The guard was the first to enter and praised: "Master Zhang is swift and decisive, and his methods are extraordinary. I admire him."

Zhang Ye did not look at the guard well and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. What magic weapon do you want to forge?"

Mu Qianhu accompanied the guard and always disliked Zhang Ye. He shouted: "How can you do business like you? Can't you be nicer to customers?"

"What's wrong with my attitude? If you want a good attitude, ask your master to go to Chunfeng Shili!" Zhang Ye's words almost choked Mu Qianhu.

The guard ordered Mu Qianhu to shut up, then apologized, and took out a golden rope: "Master Zhang, the magic weapon I want to forge is this dragon rope."

Zhang Ye had seen the dragon rope several times. This is a magic weapon of the formation created by the Tiandao Palace for the City Guard. Although each dragon rope is only a low-grade magic weapon, it can mobilize the formation of Tiandao City, so it can tie up the great power of Lianxu.

Zhang Ye did not take action, but took a look and said, "You should ask Tiandao Palace about the dragon rope."

The guard captain pondered for a while and decided to be honest with Zhang Ye, and immediately gave Captain Mu a look.

Captain Mu understood and set up a formation for the blacksmith shop to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

After that, the guard captain said, "I wonder what Master Zhang thinks about the security of Tiandao City?"

"Very average." Zhang Ye was telling the truth. Although the City Guard Office has great power, there are some things that it cannot control, and it is not even as strong as the control of Lingtai Sect over Lingtai Town.

The guard captain did not refute, but sighed and said, "When the City Guard Office was first established, it was a subsidiary force of the Tiandao Palace. However, with the joining of various sects in the Three Hundred Peaks of Tiandao, the interests were mixed, which promoted the independence and neutrality of the City Guard Office."

"Although the City Guard Office can independently govern Tiandao City, it has also lost the full support of the Tiandao Palace, so the deterrent power of the City Guard Office is not as strong as before."

"So the City Guard House and the Tiandao Sect reached a tacit understanding that the sect's affairs are not within the jurisdiction of the City Guard House."

"The sect's affairs are resolved by the sect, and the Tiandao City's affairs are resolved by the City Guard House. It was originally peaceful, but this also laid the seeds of trouble."

"Each sect has industries in Tiandao City. Should the sect or the City Guard House be responsible for the disputes over these industries?"

"Or, if two sects fight in Tiandao City and innocent people are affected, how should the City Guard House deal with it?"

Speaking of this, the guard clenched his fists, showing his anger that he wanted to manage but couldn't.

Zhang Ye thought for a moment and probably guessed the intention of the guard: "So, the City Guard House wants to manage the sect's affairs as well?"

"As long as you enter Tiandao City, regardless of whether it is a sect or not, the City Guard House must have absolute control power and cannot allow any privileged forces to exist!" The guard said proudly.

"What about the Tiandao Palace?" Zhang Ye asked inexplicably.

"Treat everyone equally." The guard said decisively.

"Your Excellency is ambitious, I admire you." Zhang Ye looked at the Guard, "However, what does this have to do with you asking me to forge a magic weapon?"

"The reason why the City Guard can control Tiandao City is largely due to the deterrent power of the Dragon Binding Rope." The Guard paused, "But I think the power of the Dragon Binding Rope is more than that, so I would like to ask Master Zhang to help me."

The Dragon Binding Rope was set up by the Tiandao Palace for the City Guard. It can call on the power of the formation of Tiandao City. Logically, its power is indeed more than that.

Then why the Dragon Binding Rope can only bind below the Refining Void means that the Tiandao Palace has made restrictions and does not want the City Guard to be too powerful.

As for why the Guard decided to launch this plan now, it is because there has been no suitable forger to improve the Dragon Binding Rope before.

Although Zhang Ye is the honorable elder of Lingtai Sect, Lingtai Sect has just arrived and has no industry in Tiandao City. There is no conflict with the City Guard, and Zhang Ye's forging ability has been proven, so the Guard chose to ask Zhang Ye for help.

Zhang Ye understood what happened and began to hesitate whether to help the City Guard Mansion. He could stay out of it by using the excuse that he could not forge the Dragon Binding Rope. After all, once he helped the City Guard Mansion, Zhang Ye would definitely be hated by the three hundred sects of Tiandao.

However, when he thought that the City Guard Mansion would fight with the Tiandao Palace later, Zhang Ye inexplicably felt a sense of revenge.

"Let me take a look at the Dragon Binding Rope first." After a long pause, Zhang Ye took the Dragon Binding Rope in his hand. Although Zhang Ye could now forge a rope-type magic weapon of the king level, the Dragon Binding Rope was a magic weapon that relied on the Tiandao City formation to operate, not its own power, so it was not quite the same.

With the help of the system, Zhang Ye slowly analyzed the characteristics of the Dragon Binding Rope, which was similar to what he had guessed. In fact, the Dragon Binding Rope was made of very ordinary materials. The key was its internal formation, which was like a key that could activate the formation power of Tiandao City.

"Master Zhang, I wonder if it is possible to refine and enhance the power of the Dragon Binding Rope?" Seeing that Zhang Ye seemed to have realized something, the guard captain asked hurriedly.

"No." Even if the dragon rope is refined into a top-grade king weapon, the power of the formation still needs to be mobilized.

The guard misunderstood Zhang Ye's meaning and looked gloomy. It seems that he was too naive. The dragon rope is indeed not something that ordinary blacksmiths can crack.

Captain Mu on the side thought that he spent 500 high-grade spirit stones, but this was the result. He said angrily: "You are so pretentious, and I thought you were so capable!"

"Don't be rude!" The guard scolded. Regardless of whether Zhang Ye can forge the dragon rope or not, he is a respectable blacksmith. It's just that the power of the dragon rope cannot be improved, and the plan of the city guard can only be extended indefinitely.

"Goodbye." The guard stood up, bowed to Zhang Ye, and prepared to leave.

Zhang Ye said: "Refining does not increase the power, but I can create a more powerful dragon-binding rope."

The guard captain's eyes were dull, and he came back to his senses with ecstasy: "Really?"

"Really, but the premise is that you have to let me study the city defense formation of Tiandao City!" Zhang Ye said this, and the smile on the guard captain's face froze, and Mu Qianhu immediately drew his sword: "The city defense formation is the foundation of Tiandao City's defense. How can we let outsiders enter? What are your intentions?"

The city defense formation is the top secret of the City Guard House. If it is studied or destroyed by outsiders, Tiandao City will be in danger.

"The power of the dragon-binding rope comes from the formation. Only by studying the city defense formation of Tiandao City can we create a stronger dragon-binding rope." Zhang Ye explained, and then said, "The decision is up to you, I don't care."

The guard captain trembled all over, and his inner struggle was visible.
