Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

"Front left, the direction of e hour and quarter, flashing - Sanyao will definitely!" Deep in the dark clouds, a shuttle-shaped small messenger star suddenly drilled out.Compared with Ling, the new command flagship, this Herald Xingcha is like a mouse crawling over an elephant.As it approached the Star Cha, it slowed down and revolved around the Star Cha.The top of its bow flashed regularly, three short and one long.A soldier turned his head from the looking glass and shouted: "The messenger boat is from Beimingkun City, please accept it." On the high copper platform behind him, Chang Jishi Wu Ben, who was studying Yuzhi map, raised his head and muttered: "Bei Mingkun City? Traveling three thousand miles? Why don't you come from Yaoqing City? Make sure." The first corporal leader on the left side of the control room agreed, and turned the control copper shaft in his hand.The messenger bronze mirror on the prow of the Lingxing Xingcha popped out, and was quickly opened and closed under the control of the corporal, reflecting the light behind the bronze mirror.The messenger Xingcha immediately turned the side of the ship and passed Ling's bow.The soldier in charge of observation leaned over the looking glass and said loudly: "Confirmed, the dragon pattern of Beimingkun City is on the side of the boat. It may have stopped in Yaoqing City."

Wu Ben frowned slightly, turned around and walked to the window. A guard hurriedly opened the heavy curtain. He looked out the window and said, "This weather is not easy to accept. How is the wind?" Another A corporal commander reported from behind the anemometer: "The direction of Wushi, strong wind..." He calculated carefully, and finally added: "It is difficult to receive." Wu Bian, a concubine next to Wu Ben, said: "Maybe it's because I'm not light enough, use the cable to send some over. Let's keep the course." The corporal commander immediately sent out this order.

The messenger Xingcha circled around again, this time getting closer, and he could vaguely see the messenger inside there waving his hands.The observer followed the trail of Xingcha, the messenger, and reported: "Receive the request! It is still receiving the request!" He paused: "There is...an order from Beimingkun City, my lord!" Hearing Bei Mingkun City, Wu Ben immediately turned his head and said: "Really? Then prepare to receive, and the whole ship slows down. With such a wind force, receive it according to the C-level plan. Open the receiving hatch." The hull of Lingxing Xingcha shook slightly, and the nine thick red copper doors in front of the trapezoidal arrangement at the stern of the ship closed gradually.With the closing of the main lanthanum, the speed of Xingcha immediately slowed down. Only the four-eyed lanthanum near the middle continued to spray light gas to keep the ship stable. Two of the doors were half closed and slowly pushed The hull shifted to the left.

After a cup of tea, the Lingxing Xingcha completely stopped moving, a bronze statue of a flying wolf was raised on the bow, and four wind-fixing flags were opened to let the messenger Xingcha determine the direction.With a burst of rapid "dong dong", dozens of copper platforms popped up from the bulkhead on the right one after another, forming a track about twenty feet long. A gate has been lowered, connected to the track, and light shines through it.A full-body armored soldier with his head fully covered stood at the door of the cabin. Several copper chains were tied to the armor, tightly connecting him to the hull of the ship.He waved the small flag in his hand and issued an order to be ready to receive.

When the messenger Xingcha came around from the bow of the ship again, he unfolded four copper wings.The wind in the cloud and mist kept washing the huge body of the Lingxing Starcha, and when it passed over the uneven copper surface, it produced countless turbulent currents.These turbulent currents can't shake Ling, but push the messenger Xingcha back and forth.The messenger star cautiously moved forward against the bulkhead of the receiving orbit, and there were no collision marks on these bulkheads, showing that the Ling star was brand new, and this was almost the first small star it received.

The messenger Xingcha tried twice, but the wind was too strong and the direction was chaotic, making it shake non-stop.It was too difficult to slide into orbit under such shaking, and the receiving soldiers standing at the hatch waved flags desperately, asking it to readjust its position and keep the distance from the ship. The corporal leader monitoring the wind direction reminded: "Chang Jishi, the wind is strengthening." "Where's the wind direction?" "no change." Wu Kuan looked solemn and did not speak.Wu Bian, a concubine at the side, said: "Why did Bei Mingkun City suddenly send someone to send us a message? It's really strange. Our mission is important, and it's a secret voyage, only a few people like Yaoqingcheng know about it. Chang Jishi, what should we do? In terms of tasks, we are already two days late..."

Wu Kuan pondered for a long time, and finally said: "You are right. Our task is more important, if it is really impossible to accept..." As soon as I said this, a soldier pushed open the door of the command cabin and said loudly: "Chang Jishi, the receiving cabin asked whether to give up, the wind has increased, and the orbit is almost unsteady!" Wu Bian saw Wu Kuan nodded slightly, Immediately said: "Notify the receiving cabin, try again, if it doesn't work, give up, let the messenger Xingcha return temporarily." This news was quickly conveyed to the messenger Xingcha following the semaphore of the soldiers at the receiving hatch.The messenger Xingcha hesitated for a moment, then the bow of the ship suddenly raised, and quickly climbed for a certain distance, almost touching Ling's red gold back and turning to the other side.There were two thuds from the hull, as if the messenger Xingcha rubbed against it a few times as it descended on the left side.Shu Ji Shi Wubian asked nervously, "What is he going to do?"

The observer on the side suddenly said: "Chang Jishi, the other side is requesting to receive it again! Name it... an urgent letter from Beimingkun City." Wu Bian said: "Bastard, this is disobeying Chang Jishi's order! Go around to the ship Underneath, are you trying to stop us? How dare a messenger be so arrogant? Get ready..." Wu Kuan suddenly said: "Wait a minute! He wants to come up from below and force his way into orbit. There must be something important... Send him an order and agree to accept it. Shuji, I want you to go down and direct it yourself."

Wu Bian was taken aback, but seeing Chang Jishi's unkind expression, he hurriedly said, "Yes, as ordered!" and ran down quickly. The messenger Xingcha waited until he agreed to receive the notice, then turned out from the bottom of the water chest again, and marched against the bulkhead.In order to maintain stability, its seven copper wings have all been opened.In such a strong wind, usually only two copper wings can be opened at most, otherwise it is easy to be hit by a sudden whirlwind, causing it to spin and lose control.This is really an extremely risky move. Seeing his boldness, the receivers on the Lingxing star trembled for him. At the same time, they also faintly felt that the news sent was definitely not a good thing.

The wind became stronger, and even the huge water chestnut began to shake from side to side. There were long and short warning gongs in the cabin, and several fixed sails were quickly opened on the upper part of the stern.The Xingcha bow was ordered downward, and the copper wings had been bent three times. It used the hull of the water chestnut to resist part of the wind and slowly rose.Just when it was about to approach the receiving orbit, a gust of wind suddenly passed through Ling's abdomen and turned upwards, pushing the messenger Xingcha up suddenly.Seeing that it was about to hit the main wing at the front of the ship, the receiving soldiers standing at the door of the cabin tried their best to evade it, and it rushed to the left diagonally downward, passing by the main wing, and broke with a "snap". A wind direction marker on the side of the main wing.One of its own copper wings was also cut off, and it whirled and fell into the undercurrent and turbulent clouds below.

Wu Bian roared loudly in the cabin: "Damn it, cancel it, cancel the reception! This terrible thing, don't let it delay our voyage! Send the order, turn left, dodge at full speed, and return to orbit!" The receiving soldiers issued a signal to the cabin to cancel the reception, and more than a dozen attendants hurriedly rotated the rollers. The first platform in front of the track began to slowly retract inward. At the same time, the two rear doors of the ship opened, With a jerk, he began to turn.Wu Bian shouted, "Where's the messenger Xingcha? Has it crashed?" The receiving soldier glanced down and shouted, "No!" As if to confirm his words, clouds and mist billowed not far from the cabin door, and the Herald Xingcha slid sideways, keeping a distance of ten feet away from the Lingxing Xingcha.Wu Bian couldn't help muttering: "This guy's skills are really good. Tell him that the reception has been cancelled, and he should return to Yaoqing City, or wait for the next reception." The receiving soldier immediately stretched out half of his body, played the semaphore, and informed Xingcha, the messenger, of the order just now. The messenger Xingcha was silent for a moment, then retracted the copper wings, and half of the three crooked ones were also retracted.This is a sign of preparation for speeding up the voyage. The receiving soldiers were relieved and were about to signal it again, but saw it stabilized behind the ship and quickly rose to a height level with the track.Without any hesitation, it suddenly swung to the right and came straight in. The bow of the ship hit the receiving bulkhead hard with a "boom".The rough surface of the receiving bulkhead and the downwardly curved top shaft on it pulled the teleporter, it vibrated violently up and down, all the propellers behind the ship opened up, staggered against it and rushed into the recovering receiving vessel. track. Everyone in the cabin was stunned. Fortunately, the receiving soldiers were still calm. They turned around and desperately pressed the switch. A row of upside-down rails immediately popped up from the edge of the receiving rails, and they caught the hooks on the messenger starship, protecting it all the way. Slide into the hatch.The lanthanum at the tail of the messenger star has not been completely closed, and the light gas emitted is dazzling and colorful under the illumination of the lights.These light gases are poisonous, and if sprayed directly on people, they will eat people through.The receiving soldier was wearing heavy armor and was not afraid. He walked back lumberingly, holding the flag, and commanded the people in the ship to put away the receiving track one by one.A few thick copper chains rattled and rolled, slowly closing the hatch, and several attendants rushed forward to wash the orderly's armor with a special potion, and the reception was over. The bow of the messenger Xingcha was severely deformed by the impact, and even the cabin door could not be opened.Several attendants pried open the broken deck and pulled out the orderly inside.His head was seriously injured, blood was flowing all over his face, but he still didn't lose consciousness. After being dragged out, he refused to be treated, but kept shouting: "Quick... my lord... the rear cabin, open the rear cabin... " The Messenger Xingcha can only take one soldier, and the sealed rear cabin usually carries confidential letters, which need to be sent to the secret room behind the ship before it can be opened.But the orderly soldier held on to the copper wing tightly with one hand, refusing to be carried away, and the blood spewed out of his mouth sprayed all over the ship.The Yunzhong tribe considers themselves to be dragon sons, and their military ranks are marked with the nine sons of the dragon. The red gold ornament on the left shoulder of this messenger is actually a "mocking phoenix" that only the head of a hundred households has, and an ordinary messenger is at most a corps leader .The attendants didn't dare to use force, they had no choice but to look up at Wu Bian who was standing in the upper passage of the cabin. Wu Bian pondered for a while, then came down and asked the receiving soldier who was taking off his heavy armor, "What is your rank?" The man saluted and said, "Head of the ten households, a good man." After a pause, he continued: "Just now he didn't As usual, hitting the ship's receiving bulkhead with the bow in order to slow down is very dangerous. He would rather get injured himself than protect the aft cabin. It seems that there is something important in the aft cabin that needs to be taken out immediately." Wu Bian nodded and said. : "I also have the same intention, you and I will supervise together, open the back cabin." With a wave of his hand, a group of guards rushed forward and surrounded the messenger Xingcha.Although the Yunzhong tribe has countless offensive red gold tools, due to the small cabin inside Xingcha, there are generally no red gold tools for defense in the cabin.Several operators had no choice but to guide the three red gold tools used for handling in the receiving cabin to prepare for emergencies. After the guards and Chi Jinju took their positions, the two attendants stepped forward to open the hatch.Because the rear compartment was barely damaged during the impact just now, it was easily pulled away.The attendants let out a low cry, and took a few steps back—I saw something wrapped in a gray cloth in the cabin.The guards pressed down on the hilt of the sword, and several red gold tools also rattled and entered the attacking state.Wu Bian asked in surprise, "A human?" The thing trembled a few times when it heard the noise, and then slowly stretched out, revealing a face like old tree bark.He slowly looked around, and the people who met his eyes couldn't help but shiver: such deep eyes. Seeing him coming out, the injured centurion broke free from the attendant's hand, threw himself on the ground and said, "My lord... Your lord was shocked! This... this is Linghao Xingcha, you are not injured, it's... really lucky... "When he saw that the man was unharmed, his tense heart relaxed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and passed out. Wu Bian and the receiving soldier looked at each other in general surprise: this person was personally escorted by the head of a hundred households. It is almost unimaginable for the Yunzhong tribe to be in power.And if someone is really famous, why would he be willing to hide in the small and closed cargo hold of the Herald Star?Wu Bian winked, and the receiving soldiers squeezed into the circle, and while ordering his subordinates to put away their weapons, he said, "Your Excellency, you are tired all the way. I don't know what to do here?" The old man got out from the cabin, and took off the cloth covering his head, revealing a head of pale long hair.He doesn't wear a bun, so it is unlikely that he is a stubborn Wu clan member who is very polite. From the exposed face and hands, he can't see the unique "source" lines of the monster clan. His aging appearance also shows that he does not belong to the monster clan; simple The clothes of the extreme are not wearing any jade, and they are not like the Zhou people who respect jade.For a moment, he couldn't tell where he came from.He squatted down first, checked the orderly's injuries, and let the attendants carry him away until he was sure that he was fine. Then he stood up straight—half a head taller than the burly receiving soldier.He said to the receiving soldiers: "Let me meet your Chang Jishi." His voice was not loud, slightly hoarse, and his attitude was considered modest—but the receiving soldier was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't say a word "no".He glanced back at Wu Bian, Wu Bian shook his head lightly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "What's your matter, can the villain present it for you?" The old man didn't answer, and walked towards Wu Bian, the guards gave way one after another.He walked up to Wu Bian and said, "Let me meet your Chang Jishi." "I am." Wu Bian straightened his back.He had just been promoted to the head of a thousand households recently, and his military rank was at the same level as Chang Jishi, and the bronze ornaments on his shoulders were already chi heads.The origin of this person is unknown, Wu Bian thinks it is better to be cautious. The old man smiled faintly, and still said: "Let me meet your Chang Jishi." Wu Bian swallowed secretly, knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, but he also felt a little humiliated, insisting: "I can also decide all the affairs on the ship, please tell me directly." The old man took out a jade battlement from his bosom and handed it to Wu Bian. The jade battlement was emerald green without any blemish. The front was engraved with dense patterns of overlapping clouds, and in the middle was a ferocious monster. Wu Bian looked at it for a long time. , really couldn't name the monster, and asked, "What is this?" "This is the token of Beiming Kuncheng Lord, let me meet your Chang Jishi!" The sounds of hasty prostrations and salutes sounded from all around, and Wu Bian felt that the jade battlements he held in his hand were burning like burning coals.He hurriedly put it back into the old man's hand, knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice, "Obey!" "Please turn to the southwest immediately, I must rush to the Yunshan area of ​​Baguo as soon as possible." Because of the token of Beiming Kuncheng Lord, Chang Ji Shi Wu Kuan hurriedly put on his formal armor, kowtowed to the north, and invited the old man into his room.The old man's first sentence was concise and clear, and Wu Kuan twitched his brows calmly. At that moment, based on the old man's clothes and words, he had roughly guessed his identity. He didn't answer right away, asked the old man to sit down, and ordered the servants to bring tea and snacks, and waited until everything was settled before sending the servants away and closing the door.He sat down opposite the old man, invited the old man to drink tea, and took a sip from the cup himself.The tea is very bitter, although it is the top grade "Chu He" produced in Yunmeng Mountain, but because it is the old tea of ​​the next year, it is less moist and more astringent.The old man drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, his expression still kind and calm, waiting for Wu Kuan's answer.Wu Kuan thought in his heart: "He has no habit of tasting tea, and he doesn't feel bitter, so he really is..." He couldn't help feeling troubled.Not for anything else, just because this voyage is irreversible to him. The Yuncha of the Yunzhong Clan are very huge, the largest "Black Power" can carry 10,000 people, and the red gold equipment is 3,500, even bigger than the smaller floating city "Baicao". When it breaks through the clouds and descends It was almost blinding the sun.It is not a lie that a Yuncha can fight several countries of the human race at the same time.But Yuncha is so big, but it also means that it is not only extremely slow, but also impossible to land, and even if it is a little closer to the ground, it may be destroyed by touching the mountains.Therefore, Yuncha only moves above the clouds most of the time, and when it needs to trade or fight with the ground, it can only use the small Xingcha.The size of Xingcha is about the same as the floating airship of the human race or the witch race. It can drop the Yunzhong people and the red gold tools to the ground at any time, but the number of personnel and the size of the red gold tools are greatly limited.As a result, the excellent manufacturing technology of the Yunzhong clan cannot fully exert its advantages. For more than a thousand years, no matter whether the Yunzhong tribe fought against Xia, Shang or the current state of Zhou, despite their superiority in equipment and technology, they were still unable to open up the situation. There were many reasons. Insufficient; the second is that in order to balance the general situation of the world, the Wu Clan in Kunlun Mountain does everything they can to help the Human Clan.But the most important thing is Zhou Tian Qi. Among the five floating cities, Baibi is 600 miles away from the east coast, Yaoqing is 600 miles away from Yinshan Mountain, and Chiya is west of Nanman. It is 1,700 feet above the top of Mount Tai, and the largest and most important Kuncheng is far to the north. deep.These cities are either too far away from the middle land, or too high to send troops on a large scale, and they are doomed to be unable to sustain long-term wars.Although every sixty years, the qi of the sky changes, the floating city will sink hundreds of feet, and the city of Beimingkun will also approach the grasslands in the northwest, but after seven years, the qi of the sky will push the cities back to their original positions .This is something completely out of human control. Today's four realms of the Zhou Kingdom have surrendered, and they have been in peace for a long time, and they are becoming more prosperous day by day. Both humanities and technology are flourishing. Some people in the Yunzhong clan have predicted that it may reach the prosperity of King Zhou of Shang in a few decades.If this prophecy comes true, then the human race will once again threaten the inherent cloud realm of the Yunzhong clan after Daji.This is something that must be prevented at all costs.Therefore, the Yunzhong Clan stepped up efforts to manufacture air fortresses that were smaller than the large Yuncha and could fight close to the ground, but larger and stronger than the ordinary Xingcha.Linghao Xingcha is the first flagship built in this way. It is so big that it can even accommodate five starships inside, or carry more than 150 red gold gear for combat. It is also so flexible, with its fish-like shape, its speed is several times faster than Yuncha , able to go back and forth between Yaoqing City and Beimingkun City within 75 days.What makes Changji Shi Wukuan especially proud is that it is groundbreakingly equipped with sixteen lanthanum wings on its abdomen. When all of them are opened, it can hover at a height of 30 feet above the ground for more than two hours.Based on this alone, it is qualified to be included in the history of the Yunzhong Clan. It is so brand new that it only has the temporary code name of "Ling". This is its maiden voyage, and it will fly directly from Yaoqing City to Baibi, and then go to Beimingkun City to receive the conferment of the emperor.According to tradition, it will take the Qing character that made Diyao Qingcheng as its surname, and the name will be determined separately. This is a voyage that is about to change the history of the Yunzhong Clan. Wu Kuanbi, who has 30 years of combat experience in Xingcha, knows the significance of it.But at the same time, it also means that this is a voyage that does not allow for any mistakes. Once he fails, Wu Kuan will become a sinner in the history of the Yunzhong tribe.Thinking of this, Wu Kuan put down his teacup, exhaled foul air, and straightened his back. "I'm afraid..." He said carefully, "Under the current situation, I cannot agree to your request." "I must rush to Yunshan, Baguo immediately," the old man said modestly, "and I need Chang Jishi's full support." Wu Kuan looked into his eyes and said, "May I ask, who is your Excellency?" "I think Chang Jishi has already guessed my identity." The old man smiled slightly: "Although our alliance with your country is a secret, a person with senior experience like Chang Jishi should be very clear about it." Although he was in his own ship, Wu Kuan couldn't help but move back a little.He looked at the old man again for a while, and said: "Your Excellency is indeed from the Flounder Island in the East China Sea. I heard that you are willing to practice purely and have no worldly ideas. It is indeed extraordinary to see you today. Your Excellency came directly from Beimingkun City. ?” "Yes. The incident happened suddenly, and it involved confidentiality, so we had to fly directly to meet Chang Jishi on the messenger starship. We flew for three days and three nights in a row, passing through the storm. Thank you for the messenger." He said To put it bluntly, without mentioning myself at all, it is much harder to hide in the airtight rear cabin.Wu Kuan couldn't help feeling admiration. He poured tea for the old man, and said: "Your Excellency is a practitioner, so I won't say any more polite words. Our ship is carrying out a special mission, and there is no room for any mistakes, so... I really appreciate your request." Unable to agree. You hold the token of the Lord of Beimingkun City, but some things cannot be passed without hindrance... After this voyage is over, if you have any requests, I will do my best to help. Otherwise, I will issue a With a warrant, you can go to Yaoqing City and use this warrant to mobilize any ships." The old man said: "Before I came here, I had heard about Chang Jishi for a long time, and I admired him very much. I also knew that with Chang Jishi's prestige, it would not be difficult to mobilize any Xingcha. But what I want to do, I must have a Lingxing Xingcha. " Wu Kuan became more cautious, and said with a smile, "Oh, then I have to listen carefully." At this time, Wu Bian knocked on the door and came in, saying, "The clouds have changed, the wind direction has begun to turn to the south, and there may be a storm ahead. To change course, we should go down." Shen two hundred feet to evade?" "Go straight ahead, without my order, and can't deflect even once!" Wu Kuan suddenly said viciously: "If there is a storm, rush in!" Wu Bian didn't understand why he got angry, and said disheveledly: "Yes, obey!" Hastily closed the door.After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to dispatch the guards and secretly set up defenses outside the door. "I want..." The old man's expression didn't change at all, he stretched out a thin hand and made a grabbing motion: "Retrieve something." "The speed of an ordinary Xingcha is several times that of the Ling, and it can retrieve anything for you." "No one doubts the combat power of your country's Xingcha, but I'm afraid even if there are ten Xingcha, it won't help. In fact, that thing fell into a big lake..." The old man was a little embarrassed for the first time: "It's not just It's as simple as the lake...some people...from the Yaozu, from the Zhou Kingdom...and of course from the Wuzu, this matter is simply manipulated by them behind the scenes...a trap, a conspiracy." He shook his head. Wu Kuan continued to sit motionless. "When I was in Beimingkun City, Master Cheng Xiangmin once suggested mobilizing the troops from Yaoqing City to assist, but in the end he gave up... I believe Chang Jishi knows better than me. Sending your Yunzhong tribe's army in this area, It has never happened before. Gao Linjun in Baguo Mountain, not to mention Yuncha, even Xingcha, it is not easy to fly here. What's more, if the Yaozu or Zhou people really arrive... Zhou's concubine It is very likely that the person who was dispatched was his elite Shi Clan." The old man said, squinting his eyes and looking at Wu Kuan.Wu Kuan took a sip of tea and said casually, "Master Shi? We used to beat them to the ground in Minte Grassland in the north." "Of course. Using the Xingcha on the grassland to chase the troops on the ground is like wolves joining the sheep." The old man stretched out his hands: "But this is the country of Ba. The first enemy Xingcha has to face here is the endless fog and Miasma is unpredictable forests, mountains, and rivers... If you have ever stood on the edge of any cliff on Yunshan Mountain, you will understand what I am saying, even if it is only ten feet away from you, the trees under your feet are numerous and dense , I can no longer see clearly. Throwing troops... is simply asking for death." "My family's army cannot be despised!" Wu Kuan stood up and said sharply, "Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words!" "It's not contempt, it's advice!" The old man also slapped the small table violently, and the teacups on the table jumped up together. With a "bang", the door was pushed open violently, and Wu Bian was almost squeezed in by the guards holding long swords behind him, and shouted: "Chang Jishi!" Wu Kuan said without turning his head, "Who told you to come in? Get out!" "But……" "Shuji, restrain your soldiers, and don't move any of them without my order! Order the whole ship to rise three hundred feet immediately, get out of the clouds, and be alert! Send people to Yaoqing City immediately, I want more than ten ships Your Xingcha will come to guard you within two days! Get out!" He said something, Wu Bian hurriedly answered, and at the same time rushed the guards out of the room.After following Wu Kuan for several years, Wu Bian had never seen him so decisive and cautious.He felt a drum in his heart, knowing that the old man must have brought extraordinary news, he couldn't help worrying about the safety of the Ling... When everyone had retreated and only Wu Kuan and the old man were left in the room again, Wu Kuan stood up and walked aimlessly back and forth with his hands behind his back.Although he was reluctant, Wu Kuan knew that the old man was telling the truth.He has also been to Ba, and has seen the rolling mountains and dense forests there.The red gold tool and the soldiers landed inside, almost like an elephant stuck in the quagmire, unable to move at all.Even when cruising in the air, you need to be extremely careful, because the unpredictable clouds and fog will visit you suddenly, disorienting you and hitting the steep mountain wall.There is no place that the people of Yunzhong hate more than Ba. From the current point of view, it is true that only Lingxing Xingcha has the ability to go to Pakistan alone, whether it is its carrying capacity or its hovering ability.One hundred and fifty red gold tools can withstand at least an army of 300 people, and the Xingcha can hover at will, making it easy to take something. The Lingxing Xingcha is the secret of the Yunzhong Clan, and it is still on its maiden voyage. If the people in Beimingkun City hadn't told the old man, he would never have known it.The Lord of Beiming Kuncheng even handed over his jade battlement to him as a token. Isn't that a clear sign that he wants to requisition the Linghao?Wait...Wu Kuan frowned more and more tightly...Why does Beimingkuncheng attach so much importance to this matter? Not only Beimingkun City, but if the Yaozu, Zhou Guojiman, and Wuzu are all dispatched... it will almost be a chaotic situation. What is it?The more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill run down his spine, until two words came unexpectedly, occupying his entire mind at once. chaos…… All the blood in Wu Kuan's body boiled.He clacked his fingers, and said as calmly as possible: "That thing... what is it?" The old man said softly: "You finally understand." "Really...has it penetrated to such a deep place?" Wu Kuan still couldn't believe it, and his voice trembled a little. The old man said: "It was very difficult...but we finally made it." When he said the words "I did it", his voice trembled a few times. Back then, when the Yellow Emperor and tens of thousands of heroes ascended to the sky by the dragon, they were suddenly abandoned by Huanglong in the sea of ​​clouds and mist midway. There was thunder and lightning and the howling of the storm. They were about to die.In desperation, the Yellow Emperor called out to the abyssal demon realm, and black clouds enveloped the sky for more than ten years.After a long time, the Yunzhong Clan suddenly appeared in the Cloud Realm, conquered various small clans with their unparalleled red gold manufacturing skills, and built five floating cities that dominate the Cloud Realm.Although no one mentions this long past, the origin of the Yunzhong Clan and the Abyss Demon Realm is known to everyone in the Yunzhong Clan. However, although the people of Yunzhong do not have the innate fear and hatred of Chaos like the Wu Clan or the Human Clan, it is not something that belongs to this world after all.Now that someone really took it out of the ground, Wu Kuan felt deeply worried besides being incredulous.Chaos has not yet really appeared, and the four strongest races in the world have already started fighting. If it is really like the legend, it can bring people the power almost like a god, I am afraid that the world will fall into a terrifying demon... And this person in front of him, this kind-hearted, humble and obedient old man, turned out to be the one who took out the Chaos with his own hands.Wu Kuan looked at his calm face, and almost couldn't restrain himself from wanting to split his head with an axe, to see what was inside. The old man seemed to understand Wu Kuan's thoughts very well, and said: "What we have done is indeed beyond human comprehension, but we are not lunatics. Believe me, we understand the horror and inconceivability of chaos better than anyone else. Therefore, It is also our most important responsibility to prevent Chaos from falling into the hands of the worldly people." Wu Kuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "What's going on?" "A betrayal." The old man sighed: "In fact, I am very reluctant to say this but... there are indeed several colleagues who betrayed us intentionally or unintentionally during the final stage of Chaos Extraction. It happened half a month ago. I am visiting North Mingkun City with the Supreme Elder Jing to discuss sharing chaos with your country. At that time, most people on the island were also preparing to defend against the tide. We were too negligent." "There is a member of the monster clan. It is now certain that he has a close connection with Kunlun Mountain. He used the subtle moment of the transition to steal an artifact containing chaos, and successfully summoned a divine beast—he is He came prepared, and stayed for twenty years. Taking advantage of the time of God's punishment to escape, his plan was almost flawless. If it weren't for an elder of the Chaxing Department who sensed the appearance of the divine beast, we might not even know how he escaped and where he went. I don't know. But at that time, the regeneration of the beast was almost complete. When the elder realized that he couldn't stop him, he put his life as a bet in exchange for a blood curse. The moment he rode the beast, the moment he touched the beast His body will be merged into the divine beast, and he will never be able to undo it. This curse was surprisingly successful, and it is estimated that part of his flesh and blood merged into the divine weapon at the same time, so that he was in pain, and the resentment he generated was so strong that it almost reached the Qi of Zhou Tian. You see—" He stretched out his right hand, dipped some tea, and drew a round rune on the small table.The rune immediately appeared red, and the light became bigger and bigger.Wu Kuan secretly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. Seeing that the old man closed his eyes and moved his palm slowly on the rune, he said, "I can feel this resentment deeply, so I know all his movements. He first ran away To the vicinity of Mount Tai, but that place was too close to Cangcheng in your country, and was immediately rounded up.
