Chapter 154 There Is a Real Problem

Mu Qianhu said to the Lord Guard: "Sir, Zhang Ye has made it clear that he has ulterior motives. In such a large Tiandao City, if you don't believe that he is the only one who can forge the dragon-tying rope, don't be fooled by Zhang Ye."

There are indeed a few people in Tiandao City who are more capable than Zhang Ye, but none of them are suitable for Zhang Ye, and they may have to check the city defense formation in the end. Instead of doing this, it is better to let Zhang Ye study it and minimize the risk!

The Lord Guard said: "Zhang Ye, if you were asked to inspect the city defense formation, would you really be able to build the strongest dragon-tying rope?"

"I dare not say that it is the strongest, I can only say that it is more powerful than the current Dragon Binding Rope." Zhang Ye gave a conservative answer.

It's more powerful than it is now. Does that mean it can tie up a master of transformation? That's enough! The Lord Guard gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you to guard the city's formation!"

"Lord Guard, you can't do it!" Mu Qianhu immediately knelt down, "Please Lord Guard, please take back your order."

"No need to persuade, I trust Master Zhang!" Lord Shouwei looked at Zhang Ye. Although he had known him for a short time, he felt that Zhang Ye was a very principled person.

Seeing that the master had made up his mind, Mu Qianhu made up his mind to keep an eye on Zhang Ye and beware of Zhang Ye's manipulation: "The master promised to let you study the city defense formation, why are you still sitting here?"

Zhang Ye didn't expect the captain to trust him so much, and was slightly moved. However, Mu Qianhu's words made him feel inexplicably unhappy: "Why are you anxious? Wait until I finish today's work."

Zhang Ye said that he would take on ten jobs today, and it was impossible for him to take back his promise just because of the city guard's affairs.

"You..." Mu Qianhu was furious. Aren't the affairs of the City Guards' Mansion more important than these people? However, the Lord Guard felt that the more Zhang Ye emphasized principles, the more assured he would be, so he led the officers and soldiers of the City Guards' Mansion to wait outside the door.

In the distance, several elders of Tianbing Pavilion who were preparing to assassinate Zhang Ye looked at him and asked: "Chief Elder, why did the Lord Guard lead troops to stand guard for Zhang Ye?"

"I don't know, let's continue to wait." The chief elder was also a little angry, but he was still patient and waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

…

The monks waiting in line were also a little confused. The captain personally led the troops to stand guard at the blacksmith shop. No one believed him when he told him. It was really eye-opening.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ye completed ten orders before following Lord Shouwei to the City Shoufu.

After passing through many checkpoints, we arrived at the underground of the city guard's mansion from a secret passage.

"Open this door and you will be able to see Tiandao City's defense formation." The Lord Guard was a little serious.

Zhang Ye said he would pay attention, and the captain nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to open the door to the formation.

But at this moment, a voice came: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked back and saw an official hurried over: "Master Guardsman, is it inappropriate to bring an outsider to the important place of the city defense formation?"

The Lord Guard immediately sent a message to Zhang Ye: "Inspector, the dog of Tiandao Palace."

The supervisory envoy is an official position established by the Tiandao Palace for the City Guards. They mutually restrict each other with the Lord Guards. Even if the city guard's office becomes independent, the supervisory envoys will still be in the hands of the Tiandao Palace.

Zhang Ye knew that the city guard was not monolithic, but he was still a little speechless when the guard told them that the inspector was a dog.

The Lord Guard said with a bad look on his face: "Whether it is suitable or not, I will make my own decision."

The Lord Shouwei was responsible for the security order of Tiandao City, and the supervisor only had the power to supervise, so the Lord Shouwei rebuked him confidently.

Through his spies, the inspector knew that Lord Guard was plotting something recently, but he didn't know what it was specifically. However, today he heard that Lord Guard had brought Zhang Ye into the city defense formation, and he would definitely come and stop him.

"What the Lord wants to do, the lower official has no right to stop!" The supervisor raised his hand, "However, the lower official is the supervisor and has the right to know why the Lord wants to let an outsider enter the city defense formation. Otherwise, the lower official will not be able to ask Tiandao Palace explained that the responsibility lies, please forgive me."

The Lord Guard knew that the Inspector was using Tiandao Palace to suppress him, but he certainly could not tell the real purpose. He hesitated for a moment and said: "There have been monsters entering the city recently, but the city defense formation has not responded. I asked Master Zhang to come here just to check the protection." Is there any problem with Shanda Formation?”

Zhang Ye is a popular blacksmith at the moment, so it makes sense for him to help inspect the mountain-protecting formation.

The inspector glanced at Zhang Ye. Since the captain had a good reason, he couldn't stop him anymore, so he said, "I have heard about Master Zhang's superb forging skills. I wonder if I can see it with my own eyes?"

Lord Guard knew that the supervisor was ready to fight to the end and was about to refuse. Zhang Ye was afraid that the two of them would get entangled, so he said directly: "It doesn't matter."

Since Zhang Ye said it didn't matter, Lord Guard didn't want to cause more trouble and said, "Since Master Zhang doesn't mind, just follow."

The supervisor was satisfied and felt that as long as he followed, the captain would not want to do any small tricks.

Not long after, the door opened, brilliance poured out, and a Five Elements Bagua diagram appeared in the sky. This was the Tiandao City's protective formation. Zhang Ye stood at the door, stopping to move forward.

The Lord Guard said: "Master Zhang, it's okay, come in and take a good look."

"I've finished reading." Zhang Ye turned around and left.

Is that all it takes to look at it like this? Not only did the captain look confused, but the supervisor couldn't turn his head around. He racked his brains to prepare for trouble, but it was over before he could use it. It was like being constipated, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Master Zhang, why don't you take a closer look?" Lord Guard tried to ask just to be on the safe side.

"No need." The city defense formation only needs to know its operating principle. With the formation of the dragon-binding rope as evidence, Zhang Ye is capable of making a stronger dragon-binding rope.

The guard captain was skeptical, but Zhang Ye only took a look and he was relieved. After all, the city defense formation is the top priority of Tiandao City. If someone studies it thoroughly, he will feel uneasy.

Immediately, everyone followed Zhang Ye's footsteps.

In the secret room of the City Guard Mansion, there were only the guard captain and Zhang Ye. Even Captain Mu was dismissed by Zhang Ye.

"Master Zhang, is there anything that can't be said in front of Captain Mu?" The guard captain guessed the reason why Zhang Ye didn't let Captain Mu participate.

"I already know how to make the dragon-binding rope." Zhang Ye pondered for a moment and gave the guard captain a reassurance.

"That's good!" The guard captain was overjoyed. As long as the dragon-binding rope can be strengthened, the plan of the City Guard Mansion to control the entire city will be half successful.

"But, I just took a look and found that there is a problem with this formation." Zhang Ye said solemnly.

"Oh, what's the problem?" The guard had previously perfunctorily told the inspector that Zhang Ye was here to check the problem. Is there really a problem?

"A large part of the energy of the city defense formation is stored." Zhang Ye organized his words and said so.

"Well, so what?" The guard thought that this was not a problem. Any formation can store energy for emergency use.

"But this part of energy has exceeded the normal storage standard of the city defense formation, and it is obvious that someone did it deliberately. If this part of energy is detonated, Tiandao City will disappear completely."

Zhang Ye said word by word: "In other words, Tiandao City is built on a super bomb."

Hearing these words, the guard was stunned. He did not stand firmly and sat down on the chair. He couldn't believe it and said: "Zhang Ye, how do you prove what you said?"

Zhang Ye thought for a while: "I guess over the years, the guard should have noticed that the Tiandao City defense formation consumed The number of spirit stones has increased dramatically every year, but the power of the formation has not increased. So where did the energy that disappeared out of thin air go? Because it was intercepted and stored by the formation. "

Shouwei's forehead was sweating. Zhang Ye was right. The tax rate of the City Guard Office increased every year just to supply the operation of the mountain protection formation: "This shouldn't be the case. Tiandao Palace built a city protection formation to protect Tiandao City!"

"It is also possible that it was intended to destroy Tiandao City from the beginning." Zhang Ye thought of Murong Hongzhuang's statement that Tiandao Palace directed and acted in the attack on the craftsmen camp, which made Zhang Ye very sure of this judgment.

Shouwei's face was pale, as if he had aged many years. He also realized that this was by no means due to the negligence of Tiandao Palace, but there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

"Zhang Ye, can you correct the city protection formation?" Shouwei felt that Zhang Ye could see the problem and might be able to solve it.

"This is a dead formation. Any external force that breaks it will cause it to explode in advance." Zhang Ye said realistically.

"Does Tiandao City have to sit back and wait for death?" The guard knew that even if he made this public, no one would believe it, and it might even cause Tiandao Palace to detonate the city defense formation in advance.

Thinking of this, the guard looked sad.

"Although we can't break the city defense formation, there is a way to consume the energy stored in the formation." Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said so.

"As long as Tiandao City can be saved, I will do whatever Master Zhang wants!" The guard was glad that he went to Zhang Ye for help, and even more glad that he allowed Zhang Ye to check the city defense formation, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Just follow your original plan." Zhang Ye said, taking out the forging tools, "I'll make a batch of new dragon-binding ropes, which can call on the energy of the city defense array without any restrictions. As long as you use them more, you will be able to consume the energy stored in the city defense array."

...

After a while, Zhang Ye made an iron chain, which was different from the dragon-binding rope. The guard took it in his hand and weighed it, and asked, "Can it really bind a Mahayana monk?"

The guard thought that the dragon-binding rope made by Zhang Ye could bind a Divine Transformation monk, but he never thought that Zhang Ye said that it could bind a Mahayana monk, which made him so excited that he couldn't believe it.

"You'll know if you try it." Zhang Ye said.

The guard really wanted to try, but he couldn't find a Mahayana master for a while. He was the only one with the highest cultivation in the entire city guard mansion, at the peak of the fusion realm, so it was almost the same as tying himself.

The guard immediately used the iron chain according to the method Zhang Ye taught him. After a while, the iron chain tied him up like a dumpling, and his bones were tightened and crackling.

The guard wanted to use the power of the fusion realm to break free from the chains, but the harder he tried, the tighter the chains became.

"Help... Help!" The guard had not yet learned the formula for untying the ropes, and was tied up with only one breath left, so he had to shout for help.

Zhang Ye was making the second chain, but he didn't notice that the guard was dying of self-torture, so he hurried to untie the chain. At this time, Captain Mu rushed into the secret room and saw the guard who was tied up like a twist. He drew his sword and chopped at Zhang Ye: "I knew something was wrong with you a long time ago, and you dared to assassinate my master."

Zhang Ye sighed, pointed at Captain Mu, and the chain fell off the guard, tying Captain Mu like a New Year pig.
