Chapter 2426 Problem

Dome spire.

The old man walked forward slowly, holding a transparent ball in his hand with a solemn expression.

Under your feet is a vast expanse of endless black sand, as far as the eye can see, as if you are in a sea of ​​sand.

Of course it is not a real sea of ​​sand. If you look closely, you will find that those black sand grains are actually the crushed remains of plankton. Because there are too many and too dense, they look like a sea of ​​sand.

Every time the old man took a step, many grains of sand flew from all directions and gathered into the transparent ball.

The sea of ​​sand is boundless, and the transparent ball is like a bottomless pit, showing no signs of being filled no matter how hard it is filled.

After a long time, the old man stopped and looked at the ball as if thinking.

The ball has turned green. If you look carefully, it is because there is a solid ball of green mist in the center of the ball, which is extremely active, like a flower slowly blooming, or like a bud that has just sprouted, full of Vitality, infinite vitality, a feeling of the origin of all things.

"Only enough to spawn two? Compared to the previous locust tide, it's pretty good."

The old man took out another ball from his sleeve, stood it together and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and put it away, and then stamped hard with both feet.

Bang! Bang!

The ground suddenly collapsed, the surrounding black sand rose up and danced wildly in the sky, and the world changed.

Within a few dozen breaths, the boundless sea of ​​sand disappeared. Surrounding the old man, dozens of flat round cakes emerged in mid-air. The surface was bumpy and dense, as if many grains of sand were kneaded together and then rubbed. It became this shape.

Extremely strange.

The old man sat down without even looking. Thick white mist continued to emit from his body, covering himself and the many round cakes around him.

As time passed, in the vast expanse of white, some faint green shadows could be vaguely seen, appearing on the round cake and slowly expanding.

But the old man remained motionless, as if completely still.

Crescent City.

It has been more than two years since the locust wave ended, and now the city is full of people, much more lively than before.

Because the Acropolis was completely destroyed, the immortals from the Acropolis came to live temporarily in Crescent City, and naturally there were more people with nothing to do.

In a huge restaurant, many people were talking loudly.

"Have you heard? The Xiyu Realm has also been occupied by Linglong Pavilion. This time the two sides started fighting again. Bai Yujing seems to have suffered heavy losses."

"Who hasn't heard of it?"

"That's right, Linglong Pavilion is shouting inside every day, and everyone has heard it."

"I didn't expect Linglong Pavilion to be so strong, it's like destroying everything."

"It must have been planned for a long time. In the past two years, they have occupied nine realms one after another and wiped out Bai Yujing's power in those realms. It is really a thunderous method. If this continues, I don't think it will take a few decades for Bai Yujing to be There are no trade routes to other realms.”

"Didn't Bai Yujing snatch back five more?"

"Can the ones that were snatched back be the same? Moreover, even if the people are dead, they will not survive. I heard from people in Linglong Pavilion that many people died in Bai Yujing."

"Bai Yujing is having a hard time this time. He feels similar to Qi Tianlou."

"They won't start a fight in Crescent City, right?"

"No, the city lord is watching, but it's hard to tell after leaving the ring road. Remember the last time they teamed up to deal with Qitian Tower, right? That was a complete quarrel. All the golden immortals from the two families were waiting outside the ring road. , those who saw Qi Tianlou were forced to go back, and if they didn't go back, they were killed, leaving Qi Tianlou unable to do any business at all. In the end, he was forced to go to the North District to fight a decisive battle. As a result, most of the Jinxian surrendered after not fighting for a while. The rest all retreated and hid.”

"They didn't hide for long. They were all eliminated within a few months. Qi Lin's head is missing. I heard he was killed by the Wandering Golden Immortal."

"Youjia...will this happen too?"

"Linglong Pavilion hasn't started fighting outside the ring road yet, so there must be some concerns, but if there are no worries, the Youjia will be fine."

"Fortunately I didn't join Bai Yujing, otherwise it would have been terrible, haha."

At the wine table not far away, Zhou Shu put down his wine glass and walked out slowly.

He had heard a lot of remarks like this recently, and they were obviously widely circulated in Crescent City. A citizen of Crescent City would know that Linglong Pavilion was prospering, while Bai Yujing was already declining.

Of course, this may not be the case.

Zhou Shu has used the Linglong Treasure Ship and knows the specific situation. Treasure ships like Linglong Pavilion are constantly dispatched. Together with the Golden Immortal, the Immortal Stone consumed in the past two years far exceeds one hundred billion, and the income from the Nine Realms is not even close to the hundreds of billions. 100 million, not to mention Bai Yujing will get it back. Linglong Pavilion is losing money to gain reputation. Of course, Bai Yujing will not be easy, it is basically a lose-lose situation.

He was a little surprised before, why didn't Youjia come to him.

He has the Ten Thousand Souls Token in hand and the core disciples of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect to protect him. Linglong Pavilion dare not touch him. If Bai Yujing uses Zhou Shu to open up new trade routes or simply seizes Linglong Pavilion's territory, the effect will not be as good as the Linglong Treasure Ship. It's not much different, and it's basically no consumption. It's far more cost-effective than using the treasure ship in Linglong Pavilion.

But in fact, if you really do this, I'm afraid you can only succeed once or twice at most, and Linglong Pavilion will definitely make a desperate move later.

The example of Qitianlou is just above.

If the result is death, instead of just watching oneself die like Qi Tianlou, it is better to fight hard and then die simply.

In recent days, Zhou Shu has almost figured it out. If he goes to help Bai Yujing, he will basically face the full attack of Linglong Pavilion, and he will die. It is no wonder that Youjia will not come to ask for help, because he will come if he asks for help. Asking to die.

If they didn't tell him, Zhou Shu wouldn't be able to seek death on his own.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the problem lies with Zhou Shu.

If Zhou Shu is no longer an unstable factor, Linglong Pavilion does not have to fight with Bai Yujing now. Both sides will suffer. It is a life-and-death battle. The two parties can still maintain a stable balance. Precisely because Zhou Shu is on Bai Yujing's side, In order to survive, Linglong Pavilion had to attack Bai Yujing first, which resulted in this situation.

In fact, the city lord was right at the time. It was indeed Zhou Shu who underestimated himself. If he didn't withdraw at that time, he would become the center of the whirlpool.

But at this time, it would be difficult for Zhou Shu to escape. It was not good for Bai Yujing, and it was even more bad for himself. He had been contaminated by so many causes and effects. It could be said that it had changed the entire situation of Crescent City. There was no use in escaping. All he can do now is wait for an opportunity.

It should be waiting soon.

Shaking his head, Zhou Shu stopped thinking and walked quickly towards the Kongyuan Gate.

Go through the Kongyuan Gate and come to the West District.

The West District is the training ground of Crescent City. It is much smaller than the South District, but the environment is quiet, and the immortal energy is generally one or two levels higher than the Central District of the South District. The good place is not even as good as Qingju, so , most golden immortals will live here.

After passing through several mountains, I came to a cave and bowed respectfully in front of the door, "Senior, junior Zhou Shu is here to visit."

The cave door opened quickly, and a deep and peaceful voice came, "Come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you, senior."

Zhou Shu raised his head, walked into the cave, and the cave door closed.
