Chapter 240 Son of Beidou
"Yes." All the powerful men in the Alchemy Palace responded in unison.
Everyone looked extremely respectful and did not dare to look up at the old man in purple robes. This was the first time they had seen the old man so angry. They did not know who was so bold as to dare to challenge the Alchemy Palace and steal the treasure under their noses.
"From today on, we will strengthen the defense of the Alchemy Palace to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to steal the treasures again." The purple-robed old man spoke again, with a sense of majesty in his tone.
After saying that, his body became distorted, and a powerful spatial light burst out, covering his body. The space seemed to be opened up. He stepped forward and disappeared.
The next morning, an earth-shattering news spread throughout Taixuan City. The Alchemy Palace, one of the four major forces, had its treasure stolen by two people.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge sensation. Countless people were trembling in their hearts and couldn't believe it was true.
Not to mention how powerful the men guarding the Alchemy Palace in the dark are. Even the Black Dragon Guards on the surface are all Yuanfu realm powerhouses. The guards are extremely tight, and they all know that if they want to steal the treasure, they must It must go through the hands of the maids, and those maids have been trained by the Alchemy Palace for many years. How can they easily take orders from others.
However, a voice came from the Alchemy Palace, sealing off the entire city, vowing to capture those two people.
There is no doubt that this is a strong counterattack by the Alchemy Palace. It was only at this moment that everyone finally realized that the news was true. The treasures from the Alchemy Palace had indeed been stolen.
…
The Alchemy Palace has an extremely strict hierarchical system. The highest ruler is the Lord of the Alchemy Palace, who controls the entire Alchemy Palace. The only other person in the position of the Palace Lord is the twelve elders, who are in charge of all aspects of the Alchemy Palace and have a transcendent status.
At this time, in a glorious and majestic hall on the top floor of the Alchemy Palace, the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.
Twelve figures stood side by side, each of them vaguely exuding an extremely terrifying aura. They were all at the peak of Yuan Wang's cultivation. Anyone who walked out at random was enough to dominate a party and be respected by thousands of people.
However, what is shocking is that the expressions on the faces of these twelve people are extremely respectful, they just stand quietly, and there is even a hint of awe in the depths of their eyes.
"What magic weapon was lost last night?" At the top of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold robe said calmly, his tone was very calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger.
The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in every corner of the hall. Even if it was just a casual word, it seemed to convey the majesty of an emperor, trembling people's hearts and souls, and seemed to be able to influence the minds of others.
This middle-aged man is apparently the supreme ruler of the Alchemy Palace and one of the few giants in Taixuan City, Si Wu.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. They saw the old man in purple robe standing up, cupping his fists and saying, "Report to the Palace Master, only the eight-treasure gilt hammer is missing."
"Eight-treasure gilt hammer?" There was a trace of fluctuation in Sinan Gujing Wubo's eyes, as if he was a little surprised.
A trace of memory appeared on Si Wu's face, and he said slowly: "The eight-treasure gilt hammer was forged by the ancestors of the Alchemy Hall. It was originally a spiritual weapon and was powerful for a while. However, due to some accidents, it degenerated into a magical weapon. , Did those two people only choose this magic weapon because they knew about it?
"I think the master of the palace is overly worried. The Eight Treasure Gilded Hammer has been lost and passed down on the mainland for a long time. The last time it appeared was a thousand years ago. These two people are not at the Yuanfu realm. They should not know such secrets." Zipao. The old man expressed his thoughts.
Moreover, there were many spiritual weapons in the Tianbao Treasury, but they had not stolen them. Apparently, it was just because the Eight Treasures Gilded Hammer was more useful to them. "The old man in purple robe added.
When Si Wu heard the purple-robed old man's explanation, he nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to the other old man and said calmly: "Mr. Hou, this time the Black Dragon Guard failed in their duty, what do you have to say?"
The old man in purple robe is one of the twelve elders, named Ji Feng. He is extremely powerful. Even among the twelve elders, he is enough to rank among the top three. He is responsible for the safety of the treasures in the Tianbao Treasury.
The Elder Hou mentioned by Si Wu was another respected elder named Hou Fan, who was in charge of all the Black Dragon Guards in the Alchemy Palace, and his status was no weaker than that of Ji Feng.
Hou Fan's face changed slightly, he took a step forward, clasped his fists at Si Wu and said: "Palace Master, I am responsible for this matter. If you fail to discipline your subordinates, I am afraid that Mr. Ji will not be able to escape the responsibility. After all, the treasure But it was lost in the Tianbao Treasury. I wonder what Mr. Ji was doing at that time?"
Ji Feng's expression froze when he heard this. He didn't expect that this old guy would drag him into the water. His face suddenly darkened and said: "Why, Brother Hou, do you want to escape the blame? If your men were not killed, those two people would have been killed." How to enter the Tianbao Treasury?”
"I just admitted that I was responsible for this matter, but your negligence cannot be erased at will." Hou Fan said calmly, not at all angry at Ji Feng's words, and looked extremely tactful.
"That's enough." Si Wu waved his hand and said impatiently: "There is no need to argue anymore. If the discussion comes up, all of you should be punished. Mr. Hou and Mr. Ji, you are fully responsible for this matter. You must put it into practice." Bring those two back.”
Seeing Si Wu speak, Hou Fan and Ji Feng stopped arguing and looked at each other, both seeing the dissatisfaction in the other's eyes.
"After so many years of silence, I'm afraid some people have become restless. It's time to do something."
Si Wu suddenly burst into brilliant light, and a wave of transcendence swept out. His body disappeared in an instant, leaving only that voice, which kept echoing in the hall.
As the news of the theft of the treasures of the Alchemy Hall spread rapidly, the voice from the Alchemy Hall was gradually known by many people. At this moment, the whole Sun City was boiling!
Not only ordinary people, and some people who came to the Sun City to play, but also the giant forces in the other three regions have successively heard that they want to help the Alchemy Hall catch the two people.
Even Taixuan City, the unique behemoth, the Sun God Cult, has made some moves. Some people have witnessed many strong men walking out of the Sun God Cult and going to the Alchemy Hall to ask about what happened last night, and announced to the outside world that it was to maintain the order of Taixuan City.
Many forces responded to the Alchemy Hall and sent many strong men to touch it. Whether it was to help the Alchemy Hall or for other purposes, no one knew.
However, one thing that can be confirmed is that at this moment, there are countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, watching all this, but their final gaze is not on the two people who stole the treasure, but on those eyes that are also in the darkness.
Stealing the treasure seems to be just a prelude, leading to a chess game. The controllers of many forces are the people who play chess. Although there is no earth-shattering battle, it is more thrilling. The result of the chess game is likely to determine the future pattern of Taixuan City.
Taixuan City seems to have entered a turbulent period, extremely chaotic, and often there is a strong breath raging from the sky, filled with a sense of killing. Not only that, the space tunnel has also been temporarily blocked, and the Sun God Cult has issued an order that all outsiders are not allowed to leave.
This move by the Sun God Cult angered many outsiders. They came to Taixuan City for the space tunnel. Now that the tunnel is closed, they can't go to other cities. Naturally, they are extremely unhappy, but intimidated by the majesty of the Sun God Cult, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak, and accept it silently.
An inn next to the space tunnel is extremely popular today. It is packed with people and very lively. The space tunnel is closed, so those outsiders have to live in the inn, so this scene appeared.
Qin Xuan and Muye are also in the inn, sitting at a table near the edge, not attracting the attention of others, like ordinary guests, who came here because the space tunnel was closed.
"Brother Qin, it seems that things have become serious." Muye said with a wry smile. He has never done such a sensational thing, but it has alarmed the entire city. The strong men from many forces have been dispatched just to capture him and Qin Xuan. It is simply thrilling.
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with doubt, and he said, "I do find it a bit strange, but it's just a magic weapon lost, it shouldn't cause such a big sensation."
Just then, the inn waiter came over and heard the conversation between Qin Xuan and Muye. He showed a meaningful look on his face and said, "You two don't know, if it was just because of the loss of a magic weapon, it wouldn't cause such a big commotion, but now is a special period, and the forces are doing this to explore the strength of other forces."
"Special period?" Qin Xuan suddenly became interested. What does the so-called special period mean?
Muye also quieted down and looked at the inn waiter. He was also very curious in his heart, what could shock so many forces.
The inn waiter glanced at Qin Xuan and Muye, and smiled, "The two gentlemen should be preparing to take the space tunnel to Piaoxue City, right?"
"That's right." Qin Xuan nodded, his expression seemed very natural, and he was not too surprised. The Piaoxue Festival is famous, and the date is approaching. Many young talents will go there. It is not difficult to guess this.
"You two asked me about the meaning of a special period. The opening of the Snow Festival is the beginning of a special period." The words of the innkeeper were full of meaning, as if there was something else behind his words, but he didn't say it easily.
"Can you tell me in detail?" A strange color flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes. The innkeeper obviously knew something. From his words, this Snow Festival seemed to be not an ordinary festival, as if it had a special meaning, and even could affect the power structure of Sun City.
"The opening of this festival will give birth to the son of Beidou."
The innkeeper slowly spoke, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes, and his eyes became extremely bright. He looked very ordinary, but he made people feel extraordinary.
