No. 157 Speed Pass Cloud Heaven (6) "Pop!"
A loud slap exploded in the main hall of the Purple Cloud City leader's mansion.
After Zhang Guiying received the news, he almost rolled and climbed onto the fastest spiritual boat Jade Water Alliance.
The spirit stones were stuffed into the formation's eyes as if they were free, and the formation at the bottom of the boat was buzzing so much that it was almost on fire. The spirit boat cut through the waves and drew a straight white mark on the sea.
In less than half a day, we arrived at Purple Cloud Island.
No way.
Today is different from the past. The relationship between the Jade Water Alliance and Purple Cloud Alliance has been completely reversed.
Now that he has the upper hand and has the upper hand, he, the deputy leader, can only act with his tail between his legs.
But he never expected that he would rush over in such a hurry, and as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he would be faced with a huge blow.
The force was so strong that he staggered sideways and his head was buzzing.
Zhang Guiying is confused.
He covered his face and looked at Ning Chen with a murderous expression in front of him with wide eyes. He was unable to react for a moment.
What does it mean?
After all, I am also the deputy leader of the Jade Water Alliance!
You Purple Cloud Alliance are now on the thigh and have the upper hand, but you won't just slap me when you come up, right?
Do I have a temper?
The anger in his chest surged upwards, and his teeth creaked.
But when he thought of the 20% mining rights of the spirit stone veins, he swallowed the Fire Qi.
The muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Leader Ning, what do you mean? You asked me to cooperate, and I, Zhang Guiying, bear the name of treachery to cooperate with you... but you treat me like this?"
"Are you really treating me like Jade Water Alliance like a soft persimmon?!"
"Ha!"
Ning Chen squeezed out a sneer from his throat.
He stared at Zhang Guiying with evil eyes for two breaths, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped him again.
"Crack!"
This slap was harder than before.
Zhang Guiying was slapped and took two steps back. His face was in burning pain, his ears were buzzing, and half of his cheeks were rapidly swelling visibly to the naked eye.
"You... you go too far!!"
Zhang Guiying finally exploded, with Spiritual Qi all over his body exploding with a loud bang, his hair flying, and murderous intent revealed in his eyes.
After all, he is also Jade Water Alliance's second-in-command. When has he ever suffered such humiliation?
However, just as he was about to get angry, Ning Chen's next words were like a basin of ice water poured down on his head.
"My Xueyao is dead."
Ning Chen's voice is very soft, as soft as floating from the tomb.
"What?!!"
Zhang Guiying was shocked, and the Spiritual Qi that was released instantly collapsed completely.
His eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the blood on his face faded away, leaving only a pale white complexion.
"That person Purple Mansion has a late cultivation level, and his strength is equivalent to Purple Mansion Perfection... But didn't you mobilize Purple Mansion Perfection's experts? This, how is this possible?!" His voice changed its tone.
Ning Chen didn't answer him. He stared at Zhang Guiying's face, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by a strong murderous intention, and asked word for word, "Do you want to cooperate with that person and kill my Xueyao?"
He knew in his heart that Zhang Guiying didn't have the courage.
But he still wanted to ask. He just wanted this woman to say it herself, and wanted to see him scared out of his mind.
"Leader Ning!"
Zhang Guiying immediately looked solemn, raised his fingers together, pointed directly at the dome, and said with a firm voice, "I swear by my Daoist heart! If I, Zhang Guiying, have even the slightest thought of harming Yaoyao, my inner demons will grow, Dao Foundation will collapse, and I will not die well!"
He swore to the sky, and his tone was urgent and sincere. "You have to believe me! If I really had that intention, I wouldn't have just put Yaoyao under house arrest after I arrested her! I wouldn't have rushed over here as soon as I received your news!"
Ning Chen said nothing.
After he lost his temper, he seemed to have been drained of all his energy.
His eyes were dull, and nothing could be reflected in his cloudy eyes. With his back hunched over, he walked slowly to the wicker chair and sat down, his whole body sinking into the chair like a puddle of mud.
Zhang Guiying didn't dare to speak out either.
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt a piece of cold moisture on his fingertips.
Broken.
It's broken now.
Not to mention the 20% mining rights, from today on, the relationship between the Purple Cloud Alliance and Jade Water Alliance may fall to an unprecedented freezing point.
Because no matter how openly and secretly the two major forces fought before, nothing like this had ever happened...
Ning Chen Anyone with ears knows how much he loves this little daughter. Heavenly Cloud Archipelago
Otherwise, after he captured Ning Xueyao, he wouldn't have just put him under house arrest, blocked his magic power, and provided him with delicious food and drink without even daring to touch him with a finger.
Just as his eyes were rolling and he was desperately thinking of countermeasures, Ning Chen, who was slumped on the wicker chair, suddenly spoke.
The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, hoarse and filled with chill.
"Zhang Guiying."
"Two percent of the mining rights, I'll give you 30%."
Zhang Guiying raised his head, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
What a good thing?!
However, his mind worked very quickly and he immediately guessed the reason. Ning Xueyao's death was more or less related to him, but instead of pursuing the case, Ning Chen took the initiative to increase the mining rights by 10%.
Then there is only one possibility.
As expected.
Ning Chen's eyes were still filled with overwhelming grief, but his tone became extremely serious. "There is one condition. That is to unite with me, Purple Cloud Alliance, to get rid of that person."
"You know a lot about that person. You should know how to deal with him, right?"
"Know."
Zhang Guiying pondered for a moment, then said, "That person is in urgent need of the best Metal Attribute Golden Core materials, and I, Jade Water Alliance, happen to have one to auction at the auction in a day and a half."
"The Golden Core material that matches my own properties is rare. This person will definitely not miss this opportunity."
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his tone became colder. "By then, as long as we set up a dragnet, we will definitely be able to capture this thief!"
"Okay!"
Ning Chen suddenly sat upright in the wicker chair, the dejected look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a killing intent that was almost solidified.
His hands clenched the armrests of the wicker chair so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Can your Jade Water Alliance ancestor False Core take action?!"
"You still want to use ancestor False Core?"
Zhang Guiying's brows furrowed, and the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously.
The fundamental reason why Heavenly Cloud Archipelago can maintain the structure of the three major forces is that False Core is the ancestor of each of the three major forces.
These old monsters usually don't show off their appearance, but they are the real sea-fixing needles.
But after so many years of fighting between the three major forces, False Core ancestor has almost never been dispatched.
When Ning Chen comes up, is it necessary to invite ancestor False Core?
Isn't that a little too cautious?
That person's strength is indeed far beyond the realm, but in the final analysis, he is just a Purple Mansion monk.
In his opinion, dispatching dozens of top Purple Mansion Perfection masters to surround and kill, coupled with numerous formations to seal the enemy, is more than enough.
"I want to be sure of it!"
Ning Chen's voice deepened.
Zhang Guiying looked at the madness in his eyes that would not give up until the goal was achieved. He was silent for two breaths, and finally nodded solemnly. "Okay. Part of the reason for this is me. This time I will use my Jade Water Alliance ancestor False Core."
"Okay!"
Ning Chen grinned, revealing a set of burnt-yellow teeth. The smile on his face looked particularly ferocious under the candlelight, "If you can capture him alive, capture this man alive."
"I will definitely bring this person..."
He spoke every word with deep hatred in his voice, "Live, swallow, live, peel."
"Okay."
Zhang Guiying lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated look in his eyes.
Jade Water Island, in the city.
People were coming and going on the street, which was a bit more lively than usual.
In front of a stone wall about ten feet high, a large group of people gathered around, all with their necks raised, pointing at the newly posted wanted notice on the wall and talking loudly.
The wanted poster depicts a handsome young man with sharp brush strokes and a lifelike painting.
The amount of the reward is written in cinnabar, which is eye-catchingly red.
"Hey, I heard that this is the man who killed Mr. Ning's precious daughter!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You are so damn courageous. From now on, Heavenly Cloud Archipelago will have no place for this person."
"You see clearly, just by providing information about this person, there are 10,000 spirit stones available! If you capture this person alive, you can get 300,000 spirit stones! Tsk, tsk, tsk, it makes me a little excited..."
"Oh, then hurry up and capture him alive. I heard that this man killed more than thirty Purple Mansion Immortal by himself."
"Thirty? Isn't that right? Why did I hear it was more than a hundred? It seems that half of the island was cut off with one sword?"
"It is said that this man has gone to the White Sand Alliance's territory. Purple Cloud Alliance and Jade Water Alliance jointly dispatched a large number of Purple Mansion Immortal to capture him. Even the False Core ancestors of the two alliances were dispatched together!"
"Hiss! False Core ancestors are already out in action? This battle is too big! Then isn't this person unable to fly?"
"That's not..."
Among the crowd, a man with a thick beard and a rough face stood with his arms folded, looking past the crowd of heads and landing on the wanted poster.
He looked at the face in the painting that was completely different from his own at the moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised an intriguing arc.
If this Zhang Guiying can deceive him once, can it deceive him a second time?
You also deliberately released the news that he ran away to the realm of the White Sand Alliance? Are you trying to show him that you want him to relax his vigilance?
He could almost conclude that with the eagerness he showed in front of Zhang Guiying at that time for the best Metal Attribute Golden Core materials, a dragnet would be laid at this auction, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
However, he still came.
His cultivation at this moment has quietly climbed from the late Purple Mansion to Purple Mansion Perfection.
The top-quality Metal Attribute and Golden Core materials are rare. If you miss this time, I don't know if they will appear next time until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
He doesn't have that long to waste.
So, knowing it was a trap, he still came.
Fortunately, that Half-Dao Artifact[Wind-Thunder Wings] gave him enough confidence.
If you lose to that False Core monk, just run away.
Four times the speed Amplification, he really didn't believe anyone could catch up.
With this thought in mind, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked calmly towards the attic where the auction was held.
Along the way, he was keenly aware that many eyes were scanning over him, either openly or covertly, like invisible nets, screening every monk passing by.
Sure enough, a lot of people came...
Jiang Tian sneered in his heart but kept a calm expression on his face. He blended in with the crowd and walked slowly to the auction loft near the center of the city.
The attic is five stories high, and is made entirely of blue-black stone. The walls are engraved with dense defensive formations, glowing with a faint cold light in the sunlight.
At the main entrance, two rows of guards with the Purple Mansion mid-level cultivation were lined up, holding their magic weapons in their hands, and scanning everyone who came near with their eyes like hawks.
Even the goalkeeper was replaced by the Purple Mansion in the mid-term.
One can imagine how tightly guarded this auction was.
And this is just the surface.
However, he has used the disguise spell passed on to him by Ji Fuyao to change his appearance, and his aura has been reduced to a perfect level.
The wonderful thing about this spell is that it not only changes the appearance, but also covers the aura of the soul. Unless the opponent's Divine Sense is far superior to his, he will not be able to see through it at all.
Do you want to find him out just by relying on these detection methods?
That would be too much to underestimate him.
However, Jiang Tian did not rush to use Divine Sense to explore the inside of the attic. Although his Divine Sense was not weak, it was too easy to be exposed if it was left casually in such a place.
He walked to the door, the light in his hand flickered, and after extracting the entries above the heads of the two guards, he turned over his hand and took out a palm-sized red token and threw it away.
"White Sand Island, Meng Family, Meng Haoran."
The guard took the token, lowered his head to examine it, and the cold look on his face suddenly turned into a smile like a spring breeze, "It turns out to be Master Meng! Please, please, please!"
After that, he held the token in both hands and handed it back to Jiang Tian respectfully.
This Meng Haoran is a monk Jiang Tian met on the way here. Purple Mansion was walking alone in the middle period and bumped into his hand.
After searching for souls, Jiang Tian found that this person's identity was very suitable, White Sand Island Meng Family, a medium-sized immortal cultivator Lineage. There was only one Purple Mansion in the family who was in charge in the later period. He was not considered a top power, but he was qualified to participate in an auction of this level.
So I borrowed this person's identity.
The moment he stepped into the attic threshold, Jiang Tian felt an extremely secret Divine Sense wave sweep across his body.
It's not like a pure Divine Sense detection, but more like some kind of detection method that combines Divine Sense with an array.
Exploration array.
Counting this time, this is already the third round of exploration he has experienced today.
The first round is when you enter the city.
The second round is within one mile of the auction loft.
The third round is now.
Each round becomes more secretive, and each round becomes more powerful.
If he had just put on a front and made some superficial disguise, I'm afraid he would have been found out long ago.
It's a pity that even with this level of exploration, his true identity cannot be revealed.
After entering the attic, a warm scent of Spiritual Qi hit my face, mixed with a touch of sandalwood.
The hall was brightly lit, and a huge crystal lamp hung on the dome, which was full of light.
The ground under your feet was covered with a deep red velvet carpet, which made no sound when you stepped on it.
