Chapter 426: Little Deputy City Lord, Wake up, You Can't Sleep...

"Boom!"

A roaring roar.

The sky was filled with human figures.

When the beam of light soared into the sky, even the night watchman could not sit still.

He suddenly jumped up from his chair, and his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Xu Xiaoshou.

"Is this a furnace explosion?"

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, and someone else told him that the City Lord's Mansion was attacked, he would have believed it on the spot without even thinking about it.

"Save people!"

Shi Ti shouted loudly.

He knew the damage that Xu Xiaoshou's furnace explosion could cause, so he could protect himself in the first place.

However, in order to save the lives of those nearby, his first reaction was not to go to the beam of light that was soaring into the sky.

But he flew up into the sky and pulled down all the people around him who were blown away.

If these people were blown up to the top, they would definitely be dead with the explosion.

"Save me!"

Xu Xiaoshou also screamed.

The power of "Jinzhao Ningdanshu" plus the sixth-grade top-level spiritual medicine was obviously beyond his control.

But he was lucky.

The "recoil" could not resist the blasting attack, but instead pushed Xu Xiaoshou out in parallel, causing him to evacuate the scene quickly.

Boom!

With a shattering sound, Xu Xiaoshou's figure hit the wall directly, and then was blasted out of the banquet hall.

He looked at the beam bar in the field in disbelief, and President Shi Ti, who was frantically trying to save the flying crowd.

"It's over."

If this thing explodes, let alone the banquet hall, half of the city lord's mansion will be gone!

"Go back!"

At the critical moment, Shouye finally came back to his senses.

He thought of his previous boast.

If this crowd could not be saved, then Tonight would not have the face to leave this place.

"Concentrate!"

With a shout, Shouye clasped his hands together, and a terrifying force exploded.

He actually embraced this amazing beam of light in the void and clamped it.

"Buzz!"

After saving most of the people, Shi Ti's realm was finally covered, and he was powerless to save the rest.

"Buzz!"

Then, the realm of the night watcher turned directly into a columnar shape, binding the beam.

The two of them cooperated very well temporarily, one saved people and the other saved the pillar.

But the explosion wrapped in it will explode after all.

"Boom boom--"

The earth-shaking sound finally exploded suddenly after the energy of the beam reached its peak.

The realm of the night watcher suppressed all of this, but the suppression in a small area caused the waves of explosion to push out and then rebound.

After repeating over and over again, the damage suffered by the night watcher alone at this moment can be said to be several times more than this explosion.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, the body of the night watcher shook.

He suddenly widened his eyes, his eyeballs bulged, and his Adam's apple moved.

It seemed that because of contempt, some unexpected situation occurred.

After the silent fluctuations, the scene was quiet for half a breath.

The energy of the explosion was completely blocked, but the air wave that spread out in an instant swept through the whole scene in this half breath.

Xu Xiaoshou could see everything clearly from the outer wall of the banquet hall. The visible air wave swept through everyone's clothes and blew everything away.

"Bang, bang, bang--"

The floor, the banquet, the food...

The crowd that had been pulled down to the ground and barely found a little sense of security were swept away again and fell into the air.

"Boom!"

The circular outer wall of the banquet hall seemed to be blasted through, and suddenly exploded, shooting towards the white-clothed guards who were rushing over not far away, not knowing why but knowing that they were attacked here.

The crowd fell down again in an instant.

Xu Xiaoshou was numb.

He lay on the ground, shrinking his head, feeling the aftershocks of the ground, and his heart was full of waves.

"This is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

As far as the eye could see, the entire banquet hall was gone.

This was also thanks to the boundary wall of the master, which not only stopped the people who were about to be blown away, but also curbed the spread of the storm, so that the explosion was only maintained in such a small area.

Looking back at the viewing area, basically only a few thrones were still standing.

Zhang Taiying was already dumbfounded.

He only grabbed the feet of two people who flew close to him, and just when he was about to help, he was stunned by the explosion.

This scene...

His eyes twitched.

Didn't the Zhang Mansion explode like this that day?

It's just that he was closer now, and what he felt was completely different from the slight earthquake at that time.

"Xu Xiaoshou... It turns out that the East Court District is so empty..."

He murmured, his face gloomy to the extreme.

Except for a few standing thrones, the Grandmasters and below were either hanging on the rubble or flying to unknown places...

Those old men who were refining pills were undoubtedly buried by the ruins that were turned up again.

Of course, these people were still happy.

The most confused ones were those old men who were swept away and blown up directly from the protective barrier, and then opened their eyes to see the end of the world.

God knows, the shadow at this moment may not be eliminated even if they die.

"It's a sin."

Xu Xiaoshou blinked a little embarrassedly.

"It's not that bad for the 'Jinzhao Ningdan Technique'. Could it be that the old man's Po Ningdan Technique, combined with the higher level of spiritual medicine, is more powerful?"

It was obviously a moment when he should feel guilty, but suddenly his mind was clear, as if he was enlightened, and his eyes lit up.

At this moment, a suppressed roar came.

"Xu, Xiao, Shou!"

Shiti, who was protecting all this, was already turning green.

His face was gray and gray, and his voice was mutated and horribly harsh.

"exist."

Xu Xiaoshou immediately popped his head out of the mound and waved back: "President, don't worry, I'm fine."

"?"

The scene was dead silent for a moment.

"Received a curse, passive value, +1420."

"Received resentment, passive value, +1356."

"Received fear, passive value, +1020."

"Received insult, passive value, +1211."

"..."

At this moment, the speed at which the information bar refreshes the screen is unprecedentedly crazy, even more impressive than the high frequency of "being attacked".

And the passive value updated every time is almost never less than four digits!

"Ahem."

Only then did Xu Xiaoshou realize that he might have misunderstood what President Shiti meant.

"Let's talk about accountability later. Save people first. It's not my intention to blow up the furnace. I just hope... hmm? The situation will be calm?" Xu Xiaoshou said smoothly.

Shiti: "..."

He was in a mixed mood at this time, and he really wanted to vent something in the most vicious language.

But after searching the vocabulary, there was no insulting language, and I couldn't say it. I didn't know what attitude to use at this moment to face all this.

"What the hell~"

The crowd held it in for a long time, and finally a voice that was frightening, trembling, but trying its best to express the desire to complain converged into those two words, plus a trembling ending.

"Is this a fucking furnace?"

After the sound, everyone finally woke up.

"I'm holding you in my mouth, Xu Xiaoshou. Come out here and see if I don't beat you to death!"

"You did this on purpose? What were you refining just now, explosives?"

"Xu Xiaoshou, where are you? Get out and die!"

"Well, no, no, no, you put something in my mouth."

"I can't move, my foot is broken."

"Feet? Toes? Ugh!"

"..."

Xu Xiaoshou heard the curses here and immediately flicked a few sword energy to destroy the few scattered night pearls on the ground that were still struggling to release their light.

The dark night finally wiped away all the sins.

Everyone yelled weakly, and the scene seemed to calm down.

The wind blew, and a sad breath spread, bringing with it additional sounds that did not belong to the resentful crowd.

"Plop..."

"Plop..."

Shiti's pupils shrank.

When he heard this familiar voice, his heart felt like it was twitching, and it started to twitch.

"Be careful, look at that flame with your spiritual sense!"

Everyone still didn't understand why, but some guys near the blasting center screamed heartbreakingly.

"ah--"

"What the hell? Will-o'-the-wisp?"

"Jinzhao Tianyan?" Xu Xiaoshou was startled and immediately rushed over.

With a suction of his mouth, he absorbed the little bit of flame that leaked out into his abdomen.

"Fortunately, it's thanks to the red clothes that the explosion didn't explode. Otherwise, the place would be filled with embers, and I'm afraid even Shiti wouldn't be able to put out the fire..."

When Xu Xiaoshou thought about his all-consuming Ember Sky Flame filling half of the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately felt guilty.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his steps were suspended and he was floating in the air.

"Um?"

When he turned around, under the hazy moonlight, Shiti's rustic and ferocious face appeared in front of him.

As for Xu Xiaoshou, he was simply hung up through his clothes.

"Whoosh!"

Shi Ti flicked his fingers, and a bright flame flew into the sky, finally returning a little clarity to this place.

After everyone was finally able to see with the naked eye, they looked around the entire banquet room and collectively became silent.

"It was half in ruins just now, and now it's all gone?"

"Damn it, where is alchemy? Others need money to make alchemy, but Xu Xiaoshou's alchemy needs his life!"

Everyone looked back in shock, and then focused their attention on Xu Xiaoshou who was lifted up and had nowhere to hide.

"hehe."

Xu Xiaoshou responded with the most sincere smile, but found that his facial muscles were a little stiff, and he immediately smiled and said: "Don't panic, it's just a small mistake, haha."

"It's just a furnace explosion, a necessary skill for every alchemist, right?"

He turned around and looked at Shiti again, "Really?"

The teacher felt angry and cold.

He pointed his finger at Xu Xiaoshou, grinning, and was speechless, unable to say a word.

"You call this thing a blast furnace?"

Among the crowd below, someone finally couldn't wait to speak for President Shiti.

Xu Xiaoshou glanced over: "Otherwise, I didn't mean it. Besides, before I started the furnace, I asked you if you really want to be so close? You also said it's okay!"

He looked toward the vigil.

At this time, Vigil had already received all the damage alone.

His hand supporting the realm was gray, and even if he took it back, it was still trembling slightly.

Of course it wasn't bombed.

To be honest, if it weren't for the crowd here, this explosion would be nothing to the vigil.

His body was shaking just because he felt like he was being cheated.

At this moment, it was all understood as to why Shi Ti opened the realm in advance and stayed vigilant the whole time to prevent Xu Xiao from being blown up.

This guy's fryer is completely different in nature from other people's fryers!

Xu Xiaoshou looked at him, and before he spoke, he imitated his tone and said: "What you said is not a big problem. Only with your protection can I dare to use all my firepower."

"Hmm?" Xu Xiaoshou raised an eyebrow and wanted to get a friend on board.

The corners of Shouye's lips twitched, and the veins on his neck popped out.

This is exactly what Xu Xiaoshou said before he opened the furnace.

But at this moment, it sounds like there is a strong sense of ridicule.

Do you want to save face, or do you want to retaliate against Xu Xiaoshou and take it out on him?

"Yes, it's not a big problem..."

Watching the night spread out his hands and looked around, looking at the expressions of everyone who had survived the disaster, and then his eyes fell on Xu Xiaoshou's face that made people want to punch him.

"It's not a big problem!"

"Damn it, I'm going to destroy you today!"

Watching the night rushed forward with a fierce face and fists raised.

Xu Xiaoshou:? ? ?

He was immediately frightened.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yi, who was always silent and could only nod, had such a simple reason to take action, and his temper...

Yes, this is a guy who came from a white cave. How can there be any rules in human society?

"Fu Xing, save me!"

Xu Xiaoshou roared miserably.

His waist and abdomen bowed, and it popped out of the teacher's handle. Then he dwarfed and moved toward his waist in the direction from which Vigil came.

"This speed..."

Shouye, who couldn't react for a moment, knew that he had not only underestimated Xu Xiaoshou's explosive power, but also seriously underestimated the boy's reaction and body speed.

He didn't have to use much force with this punch, he just wanted to punch Xu Xiaoshou in the face to vent his anger on the big guy.

After all, in this situation, if Xu Xiaoshou wants to escape unscathed, he obviously needs a step up.

Shiti was also confused.

He also wanted to catch Xu Xiaoshou, but this guy was like a hedgehog. He bowed his body at that moment and had a counterattack force that he could not resist. Even if he was prepared, he was still able to escape temporarily.

"Pay the line..."

"Xiao Fu, where are you!"

Xu Xiaoshou was panicked. There were all enemies here, and only Fu Xing could rely on him.

Um?

etc!

Why didn't Fu Xing reply?

His steps suddenly stopped.

At this time, everyone realized something was wrong.

Such a big thing has happened, how could the deputy city lord still not come out to take charge of the overall situation?

Everyone thought for a moment.

On the eve of the explosion, the thrones closest to Xu Xiaoshou did not seem to be all thrones such as Shiti and Vigil.

Pay the line.

As a host.

It seems that he...has no choice but to be on a high platform?

"Little Deputy City Lord..."

As everyone fell silent, the slightly audible cry of a guard in white finally came from the ruins outside the banquet hall.

"Wake up, little deputy city lord..."

"You can't sleep..."

…

…

The banquet room is unusable.

However, everyone did not stick to trivial matters. After gathering a few old master-level spiritual refiners of the earth element, everyone worked together to flatten the ruins, and then used stone tables to restore the banquet to a decent appearance.

No one complained about the City Lord's Mansion.

It was as if after being brutally tortured by the same persecutor at the same time, everyone had a very united force and felt a bit proud when looking at their own masterpiece.

As for Xu Xiaoshou...

Xu Xiaoshou was sitting on a raised stone pier with a bag on his head.

Beside him was a girl whose little skirt had turned gray.

Mu Zixi can be said to be the least embarrassed person in the scene at this moment.

Compared with other people's dirty faces, her little face should be the cleanest.

After all, it’s better to protect in advance.

"You are no longer qualified for the alchemy competition." She said teasingly.

"I know."

"Then Hongyi and Chairman Shiti should be merciful, right?" The little girl had an unstoppable smile on her face.

"Yes."

"But if it were Master...well, I don't seem to have seen Master take action against you?" Mu Zixi was suddenly startled.

Seeing Xu Xiaoshou deflated, she felt happy.

But suddenly, when I thought about it, it seemed that even if Xu Xiaoshou did some indescribable and horrific things in Tiansang Ling Palace, he really had not been punished.

"Don't mention it. That old guy has dozens more levels than you think. I'd rather he beat me up."

Xu Xiaoshou covered his face, not letting most people see that he had recovered from his injuries.

Mr. Sang is different from these guys.

I can't say that, but he actually seems to be very good.

I said it was very good, but I felt like I couldn't say it out loud, something seemed strange.

Xu Xiaoshou felt that if he really admitted it, Juebi would be the kind of person who would help count the money after being sold to someone else, and still miss him in the end.

At least so far, he could only feel that Sang Lao's big game was not over yet.

But judging from the current progress, you can't even see the shit.

"Brother Xiaoshou, are you okay?"

Su Qianqian quietly touched her hand from the main table.

After Xu Xiaoshou left, she no longer wanted to be alone at that table.

Surrounded by some old men, they can't stay any longer. Young people should still play with young people.

Anyway, now that everyone's face has been lost, naturally no one will stand up and say that they have acted inappropriately.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Xiaoshou put down his hand and glanced at the host desk: "How is Fu Xing?"

"He's still there."

Su Qianqian covered her mouth and chuckled.

Fu Xing was the worst in the audience.

Blast sent him away immediately, and no one noticed.

When he was finally awakened by the white-clothed guard, he screamed.

It was only when Shiti went over that he found that the boy was still infected with "Jin Zhao Tian Yan"...

Well, he can't die.

With Shiti there, there were injuries in the audience, but no one died.

"Are you the junior sister of Brother Xiaoshou?"

Su Qianqian turned around and looked at Mu Zixi.

This was the first time she had seen a girl of similar height, age, and strength in the Ling Palace.

"Junior sister?"

Mu Zixi was shocked when he heard this title. He knew the three rules between Xu Xiaoshou and Old Sang, and was about to shake his head.

"I know." Su Qianqian smiled and said, "I have asked my master. Although he didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye can already see it. I really don't know what to hide." Mu Zixi was stunned. In fact, this was also her question. As long as Xu Xiaoshou's "Jin Zhao Tian Yan" appeared, as long as someone was interested in checking, it would definitely match with Old Sang. She didn't know why her master was so deceiving. "Yes." Xu Xiaoshou admitted it generously. As for the "Three Rules", he thought it was a protection for himself at first, but later found that it was completely unnecessary. What he wanted to know was still easy to find out in the end. Now, after getting to know Old Sang a little bit, he was relieved. This old guy must have some secrets that cannot be told. The existence of the "Three Rules" defines that in the eyes of outsiders, there will always be a gap between him and Old Sang. No matter how much he believes, as long as the two of them don't admit it, then there is nothing. And in the world of adults, sometimes, it really needs to follow specific rules, or evidence. No matter how obvious the reasoning is, it cannot be used as evidence without solid evidence.

Elder Sang is indeed protecting himself.

But he is also hiding something.

His "three rules" are not aimed at people inside the Spirit Palace.

Maybe it is aimed at the...enemy far away?

"Mu Zixi."

"Su Qianqian."

The two girls over there seem to have made friends happily.

Xu Xiaoshou didn't pay much attention to it.

He turned his eyes to the hard soil slab that was re-laid.

Even if Xu Xiaoshou, the time bomb, was lost at this moment, no one dared to open the protective shield to make pills.

God knows how scared and horrified the three sixth-grades were when they had made pills beside Xu Xiaoshou at that time.

So much so that everyone off the field was healing themselves while quietly waiting for the final result of the alchemist.

Of course, this kind of silence was only on the surface.

As soon as Xu Xiaoshou closed his eyes, he could clearly feel how terrifying the curse power contained in this seemingly calm banquet hall.

"Cursed, passive value, +1212."

"Remembered, passive value, +1240."

"Cursed, passive value, +1123."

"..."

The alchemy storm was interrupted halfway, and all the alchemists were in a very unstable mood.

When the final result came out and the protective shield fell, the field was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

But the smell of burning mixed in it was also very obvious.

The old men obviously had never tried to make pills in this state of mind.

The furnace would explode, that was for sure.

But there were still many people with a strong mentality who supported the pill.

Although the quality was not good, it was a good result compared to other alchemists.

The final champion was won by Long Dan.

This old guy no longer took out the previous "Daqing Lingming Pill", but chose a seventh-grade pill.

And Chen Qi and Li Mingji, who still insisted on "Grandmaster Pill" and "Extreme Pill", undoubtedly all failed.

The sixth-grade alchemist is indeed good.

But the unstable state of mind was the sixth rank, and he still couldn't refine the elixir that matched his level.

After all, there was only one big-hearted Xu Xiaoshou.

Long Dan, who won the championship by trickery, didn't look very proud, or it could be said that he didn't look proud at all.

After all, everyone was the same, except that they were covered in dirt.

In short, after losing Xu Xiaoshou, the alchemy atmosphere that should have been joyful became very strange because of his remaining soul.

The auction of the elixir in previous years was directly cancelled.

The reason?

The host was still lying on the ground!

Fu Yinhong took over the help, she looked up at the sky, as if she was expecting something, but until the end, the person she was expecting did not appear.

"The alchemy competition is over."

"The trial of the spirit array does not start now."

Fu Yinhong said, looking at Shouye: "Senior, you come to announce the rules!"

Shouye stood up and glanced at the atmosphere that had returned to a somewhat quiet state.

"The competition of the spirit array is very simple."

"As we all know, the rules of the different-dimensional space have laid the foundation for the terrain within it and the creation of special secret realms."

"I will give you a spirit array map, which is copied from the rules of the different-dimensional space."

"Whoever can solve it... Well, it should be said that in the end, the allocation of the remaining spots in the White Cave will be decided based on your progress in solving it."

"The more you unlock, the more places you will get."

"certainly……"

Having said this, Vigilante smiled like an old fox: "If no one can solve it in the end, the remaining spots will be given to the person who can solve the spiritual formation diagram."

"It doesn't matter whether this person is here or not!"

This time, everyone was shocked.

Originally, as Vigil said earlier, they were very happy to have access to the spiritual formation map of the White Cave terrain in advance.

After all, even if I can’t solve it, I should still be able to remember some of it!

What can be taken out by Vigil is combined with his previous words of inviting spiritual formation masters from all over the world.

This spiritual formation map must be an extremely important topographic map in the White Cave, and it may be the central area.

But……

"Listen to what the red-clothed senior said, will this spiritual formation diagram spread out by then? Can those who haven't come yet also see it?"

Everyone panicked.

This is not a good thing.

If more people know about it, doesn’t the information you know in advance lose all meaning?

Watching the guys thinking in groups, Wei Ye secretly thought it was funny.

If it was really so easy to solve it for unprepared people like you, I would have to stay awake all night and say what I said before to invite the spiritual masters from all over the world.

Even the red organization cannot fully understand the map. Even those here, even if they have spiritual formation masters, cannot even touch the door!

However, if you want to give hope, you can't just say it to death.

"Now, the competition begins."

Vigil took out rows of jade slips.

"Anyone who is interested and wants to try out the spiritual formation master can come here."

"Remember, only spiritual formation masters can take it. I don't have many jade slips."

Everyone's steps stagnated, and a large number of people were about to rush up to memorize the spiritual formation map.

But his last words made everyone sit back in their seats.

As a result, in the end, there were only about twenty family forces who had just brought the spiritual formation masters over, and they stepped forward with great expectations.

"Damn it, I missed the first opportunity. I don't know how much I will have to pay if I want to get this spiritual diagram later."

"Yeah, it's a shame. If I had known there was a spirit formation competition, I should have invited my old man out of the mountain!"

"This wave of direct losses of 100 million... huh?"

Everyone was talking among themselves, but suddenly their voices stopped, as abruptly as if they were being silenced by a saint.

Watching the night raised his head in astonishment, and suddenly saw everyone's eyes converging on one side.

"Xu Xiaoshou?"

His face turned dark instantly, "Why are you standing up?"

"hehe."

Xu Xiaoshou was already keeping vigil at this moment.

Regarding the three punches this guy had given him in the face, the kick in the stomach, and the slap on the back of the butt...

He even remembers the strength clearly.

"Why, you look down on people?"

Xu Xiaoshou held his head high, walked like a dragon and a tiger, and shouted loudly:

"I, Xu Xiaoshou, spiritual formation master!"

"Come and fight if you don't agree!"
