Text Chapter 287: Prelude to War (IV)

"Pass the order of the clan leader." In the villa of Baili's family, a middle-aged man said with a gloomy face: "Within a week... no one is allowed to go out. Those who disobey the order will be expelled from the Baili family."

Orders were issued from one family after another. They didn't know... how many families would come, but the families that came all showed an attitude of not sparing any cost!

"Grandpa, what's the matter?" A female cultivator frowned and said, "We in the Baili family are not afraid of any of them."

The clan leader did not answer, but looked out the window deeply at the four behemoths in the sky. After a long time, he sighed: "Something big is going to happen... any family... the old nest is dispatched, which means that they will not leave any room. Either they die, or the enemy will be wiped out... there is no need for us to cause misunderstandings."

"Especially... at this critical juncture."

The white bone tower fell, and a terrifying spiritual pressure was released in a ring. Mortals cannot feel it, but it makes the clothes and hair of the cultivators within a kilometer range flutter.

"This is the famous Bixia Corridor of the Nalan family." Chu Zhaonan looked at the window. Xu Yangyi stood beside him with his arms folded, looking at the huge white bone tower that reached the sky. And... it was covered with a dark layer of half-human, half-spider demon cultivators.

All the pieces have been placed... All those who are qualified to play on this chessboard have made their moves... and who can see the undercurrent below?

Even he has a crazy ambition, like the most cunning hunter, waiting for the most appropriate time.

"What time is it now?"

"12 o'clock on the 30th." Chu Zhaonan looked at the watch: "Tomorrow is the last day of Longsu Province's opening."

Xu Yangyi nodded. Today, he must practice. Not for this slight improvement in cultivation, but to completely calm down his mood before the big tide tomorrow.

Time passed by minute by minute. It was too easy to meditate in a place with such rich spiritual energy. Once he opened his pores, he clearly felt the spiritual energy coming from all directions like an ocean!

"It's only weaker than my advanced spirit gathering array..." He closed his eyes, and his eyelids moved: "This time, the blessed land of the cave... If we lose it, it will be a pity. And... I am not without a way to win."

"Once I build this place as my foundation... What can I do in the future? With my status as an alchemist, I can afford to build even a palace! I can afford to maintain it!"

He sighed slightly. The meditation time was not too short, but he could not calm down. Thinking of the palace, he couldn't help but open his eyes.

The clock on the wall was ticking. He glanced at it. Now, it was 4:30 in the morning.

This is a biological clock. For mortals, it is the time of deepest sleep. For cultivators, it is the most suitable time for cultivation when everything is quiet.

At this moment... When he looked at the four palaces outside the window, he suddenly stood up!

Everything in front of him made him almost dare not believe his eyes!

Countless points of light, colorful, rose from the entire Longsu Province, ranging from hundreds to thousands!

Some were densely gathered, and under the spiritual light, its shape could be seen, obviously a flying magic weapon!

Most of them were like this, however, there were dozens of spiritual light points, but they were flying alone in the air!

At this moment, Rongcheng was silent, and a pin drop could be heard. On the ground, the entertainment venues and street lights of mortals were connected into a neon ocean. In the sky... it was already a dazzling sea of ​​colorful stars, which was in harmony with the sky below!

"No!" He stared out the window, he was sure that these were all cultivators! And they were special cultivators! Otherwise, how could they come out of Longsu Province?

A few months ago... Longsu Province had cleared out all the cultivation families! All mortals! Just for this fight for the blessed land!

"If it's just for exploration, how could there be so many people! This has already surpassed the power of any first-class family!"

At this moment, all the light spots, as if sensing the signs, all flowed, forming a colorful galaxy, rushing towards the black cloud!

There... a palace figure that he was very familiar with, under the moonlight, absorbed all the spiritual light spots.

"This is..." Xu Yangyi's heart was shocked: "Master's...Qingtian Palace? Jindan Palace!"

Xu Yangyi looked at the watch again and confirmed that it was 4:30 in the morning, the last day before the start of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land War.

Outside the house, the Milky Way was brilliant, at least nearly 10,000 cultivators, and his doubts grew. To survey the richness of spiritual energy, did it really take so many cultivators? If there were really so many cultivators, why did only 300 people go out during the day and it ended? Why did so many people have to leave at night? And why... would Master's Qingtian Palace be here?

Under the cover of the giant turtle, a crane and a tiger, all the spiritual lights were extinguished, as if they did not dare to compete with it at all. Even the human figure did not move.

Xu Yangyi gritted his teeth, the doubts in his heart lingered. He turned around and wanted to wake up Chu Zhaonan, but found an even more bizarre scene!

A black...shadow, in an indescribable shape, was lying on Chu Zhaonan's head. But at this moment, Chu Zhaonan's breathing and spiritual consciousness were all sealed in. Without trying, Xu Yangyi knew that he would definitely not be able to wake him up now.

"Shadow-playing Secret Art?" His eyes flickered slightly. He had seen the master's magical power several times, and... this time, this inch-long black shadow had no intention of hiding, as if he knew that no one could see through him.

It didn't know that just one meter away, a person, a cultivator, watched the scene in the severed memory in its entirety.

"This... should be identified by spiritual energy." He pondered, "I have the demon heart of Bai Suzhen in my body, and no one knows that I am a cultivator... So, he can't 'see' me?"

He looked at the little man who was only an inch long, and then squinted his eyes to look at the majestic Qingtian Palace outside. Master... what are you planning?

He didn't wake up Chu Zhaonan. Now, he couldn't be discovered, let alone take this risk.

Without speaking, he quietly watched all the spiritual light points being sucked into the Qingtian Palace, watched the Qingtian Palace quietly disappear into the clouds, and watched everything return to silence again.

As if it had never happened.

The monks, like wasps, started to move. The eyes of the giant crane and the giant tiger lit up. The scenery that mortals could not see regained its colorfulness. No one knew what had just happened.

The wind blew into the hotel and brushed across Xu Yangyi's face. Xu Yangyi added a cup of tea calmly: "Awake?"

Chu Zhaonan frowned: "What happened just now?"

Xu Yangyi brushed away the tea leaves in the cup: "What?"

"You don't have to lie to me." Chu Zhaonan's eyes were like fire: "I am carrying an extremely precious protective magic weapon. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the top protective magic weapons in China. Just now, my memory was interrupted. Is it right?"

Xu Yangyi did not speak, gently put down the teacup, and did not hide: "Have you heard of any investigation that requires the mobilization of nearly 10,000 cultivators?"

"No." Chu Zhaonan threw a cigarette over and was about to light it when he suddenly understood something: "Just now..."

"Just now, nearly 10,000 cultivators flew away on their cultivation instruments. And the place that accepted them was the Qingtian Palace of the ancient ancestor Gusong." Xu Yangyi said calmly: "What do you think?"

Chu Zhaonan frowned, having no idea... Why is this?

Jindan Zhenren would never do these things without reason, but what is his purpose?

"Can't figure it out?" Xu Yangyi blew out a smoke ring while holding a cigarette in his mouth: "I can't figure it out either."

"The best way is to remain unchanged in the face of change. From today on, we should not do anything and should not ask." He looked at the dark night outside the window: "Wait... this curtain... has been opened."

December 31st.

The last day of 2021, New Year's Day is coming.

The clock pointed to 11:50, and the major squares in Chengdu were already full of fireworks and boiling. I don't know how many young people gathered in the square, cheering, and countless neon lights went straight to the sky. However, no matter how gorgeous the neon lights were, you couldn't see the brighter light behind the layers of black clouds in the sky.

"Ten!" The people below shouted and screamed at the top of their lungs, waving their fluorescent sticks desperately. All of this was taken into the cold eyes above.

"The last ten seconds..." In the center of the Bixia Corridor, there is a huge skull cave. Although it is a cave, the space of hundreds of meters inside is magnificently decorated. On a chair more than ten meters wide, a bald half-spider old woman with wrinkles on her face, with eight insect legs casually placed on the chair, spoke softly.

"Are you... ready?"

"Ready to devote yourself to the Nalan family until your death?"

In front of her, hundreds of meters of space, more than 400 men stood in front of him like javelins. Black clothes, with a snow-white spider badge on their backs, at this moment, all bowed and answered loudly: "I will obey your orders!"

The voice was like a real sound wave, making the surrounding walls vibrate continuously.

"Very good..." The old woman squinted her eyes, looking down as if she could see through everything. There, countless mortals were screaming excitedly: "Nine!!!"

At the top of the White Tiger Hall, three old men stared at the darkness in the distance. The night wind blew over their bodies, and their sleeves fluttered.

Behind them, there was a dark crowd that could not be seen. Although there were many, they were very regular, and there was no mess.

No one spoke, and the shouts of hundreds of people below were vaguely heard here: "Eight!"

"Seven!" "Six!" "Five!" "One!" "Zero!!"

"Swish!" Just when zero sounded, countless fireworks rose in several squares in Rongcheng, and at the same time, a blue light lit up the sky!

The pure blue color seemed to be written by someone. One just emerged, followed by another. It was not wide, but very slender. But one after another, one after another, just ten seconds later... a blue light curtain slowly rose along the horizon, like a huge curtain!
