Laughing at Chang'an

The imperial army was in the outlying city, but the people in Chang'an City were not so panicked. Those who should set up stalls still set up stalls, and those who should open the doors opened as usual.The women in the inn area were leaning against the railings of the building, lazily looking at the dense fleet of ships in the distant sky, holding bouquets and giggling with their bare feet.

This is Chang'an, a Chang'an that won't fall even if the sky falls.This proud city and its people have the heritage and tolerance accumulated over thousands of years. The more dangerous the situation is, the more it looks different.

On a June day, the sun is also full of laziness. The people of Chang'an are busy with the work at hand. I don't know who is the first to raise their heads. Then more and more people raise their heads and look at the sky where the sun is shining. Flying fine white dust.

One by one, clean and bright, white snowflakes.

30 years of loneliness and no one to rely on, one sword told all the frost and cold - the vast snowflakes fell from the sky, and the sword intent went straight to the sky to frighten ghosts and gods. Li Teahouse's sword caused abnormal weather and attracted the attention of countless people in the city.I saw the clouds and air over the Chang'an Great Arena turned upside down, like a giant funnel that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and suddenly burst and disappeared.

"This is the altar's move." In the Damo Guild Hall, Huang Sha stood in front of the window and frowned. He seemed to think of something, and turned his head to ask his subordinates, "Where is the Fenghe man?"

"The second head went out early in the morning." The subordinate replied, "The subordinates only know that he went to the Geng Army Guild Hall, and he disappeared after that."

Huang Sha folded his arms, looked thoughtfully at the sky in the distance, and murmured: "This time I'm going to be in trouble."

After undergoing such abnormal changes, the Chang'an Arena is intact. From the outside, not even a single brick or tile has been damaged.Gong Yun, who personally led people to lurk around, instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and ordered his subordinates to go closer to investigate. He was very worried about Geng Yan's personal risk this time, not because he didn't trust Geng Yan's ability, but because he was afraid of sealing the river. Waiting for others to jump over the wall in a hurry and make a move of exchanging their lives for their lives.

A mere closure of the river is nothing to fear, but there are two altars behind it, Li Tea House and Hades.Throughout the ages, the battles between the altars have either determined life or death in an instant, or fought each other to exhaustion.The savings of the two old altars are not insignificant. If they are determined to fight with Geng Yan to consume them, the outcome may not be beneficial to their side.

Gong Yun couldn't help but tapped his head, his problem of always thinking about the bad was almost cured, if the situation was unfavorable, no one could stop Geng Yan from leaving the altar.Even if the other party used Li Shen as a bait, it was not worth Geng Yan's life to bet on it. He believed that Geng Yan would not make a wrong judgment.

The subordinates who were sent to investigate nearby quickly swept around the entire arena for a week, but found nothing unusual, and reported back asking if they wanted to go in and have a look.Gong Yun told him to be careful and just wait and see from the door.

Putting down the communicator, the back of Gong Yun's neck suddenly felt cold.

"Don't move." A cold voice sounded from the back of his head, "I don't want to kill you, and I don't want you to betray your master. I just heard that you know Li Shen's condition very well?"

Gong Yun has already heard the other party's identity, who else is it if it's not Feng He?He stood motionless, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Where is Xiao Shen?"

"Sorry, I can't say this." The thin blade in Feng He's hand was firmly attached to Gong Yun's throat, and there was a bit of a smile in his voice, "I just want to save someone, please trouble Mr. Gong to come with me."

Gong Yun didn't move, but asked instead, "Where are you going?"

Feng He laughed and said, "Of course it's your guild hall."

Before the words were finished, Gong Yun's communicator rang, and a hand reached out from behind, picked up the communicator to connect, and raised it to Gong Yun's mouth.This series of actions did not hesitate in the slightest, but on the contrary, it surprised Gong Yun secretly. Feng He is a warm-hearted and cold-hearted person, and he is out-and-out cruel and merciless. It's the head falling to the ground.

"Hello? How's it going?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Military Advisor, there is no one in the arena."

"What!?" Gong Yun exclaimed, ignoring the sharp knife on his neck, "Why is there no one?"

"Indeed, my subordinate has repeatedly confirmed that there is no one else in this arena except my subordinate. My lord, what should I do next?"

Gong Yun frowned and said nothing, but seeing Feng He hang up the communication, he gave a low laugh behind him.

"Sir, don't worry about others right now, worry about your own life first."

………………

Thousands of miles away, Landau Prairie.

Geng Yan, who was concentrating on receiving Li Teahouse's sword, did not wait for the attack that should come. He looked around in astonishment, and what he saw was the green grass and a black long sword standing upside down in the grass.

What happened in that instant?

Geng Yan glanced at Hades and Li Tea House who were also teleported here like him, then frowned and looked at the old man sitting cross-legged on a big bluestone not far to the right.

Another... altar.

They are all strong in the altar, with one against three, Geng Yan is not so arrogant.This is the background of Chang'an City, and in comparison, the entire Guangming Empire can't produce the No. 2 altar other than him. Looking at the world, apart from Chang'an, where can so many altars gather.

Every altar is a great creation between heaven and earth, and it is the existence of the pinnacle here.Talent, resources, hard work, and opportunity are all indispensable.And once you enter the altar, you will be immortal, and you will truly transcend the scope of human beings and become a part of this heaven and earth.

"Ahem... this old man has no intention of meddling in your disputes, but was entrusted by others to lay down a thousand swords to seal the sky here."

The old man on the bluestone met Geng Yan's eyes indifferently, coughed and said.

"The so-called Thousand Swords Sealing the Heavens is a sword array created by the mercenary king Li Sanduo to kill the blood emperor. It is said that the blood emperor can be reborn from a drop of blood. Li Sanduo asked Lu Zhongxian to build it with meteorite iron from outside the sky. A thousand swords, cough cough cough... that's the thousand swords in front of you."

Geng Yan glanced at the pitch-black long sword on the ground, and he had already made some speculations in his heart from the other party's narration. He silently sensed the surrounding sources, and he found something abnormal.All the sources he could sense were blocked in the circle formed by these long swords, from the ground to the sky, like a hemispherical cover.

"When you decide the outcome, the Thousand Swords Sealing the Heavens will naturally be released." The old man said leisurely, "I haven't seen the battle of the altar for many years. This time, I will be a witness for you."

The old man's identity was unknown, and his position was also unknown. Geng Yan naturally wouldn't trust the other party's words, but he didn't show his doubts on his face. He just nodded at the old man, and looked back at Hades and Li Teahouse.

"I'm curious." He said to Hades and Li Chalou, "What kind of trick is this? It can shift people's positions in an instant?"

Geng Yan already figured it out that Li Teahouse's sword seemed to be powerful, but in fact it was just to attract his attention, it was purely a cover.This sudden transfer technique is the opponent's real trump card, and the so-called Thousand Swords Sealing the Sky planted here is specially prepared for him, the purpose is to prevent him from escaping.

Needless to say, this was beyond his expectation.

"Well, it's called the upside-down teleportation technique." Hades brushed his beard and replied with a smile, "Have you heard the story of the Luzhong Immortal moving the mountain? That's what happened. Speaking of which, their glorious legacy is really , tsk tsk, unfathomable."

"You just talk when you talk, why do you want to look at me?" Li Chalou said angrily, "I'm not a Huiguang person."

Everyone knows the legends of the mercenary king Li Sanduo, but many of them have been exaggerated by later generations, especially those strange legends about the Luzhong Immortal. Geng Yan had never taken it seriously before, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true.

But also, nothing more than that.

What is upside down and moving, what is sealing the sky with a thousand swords, it is nothing more than to trap him and prevent this battle from being disturbed by the outside world.And Geng Yan never planned to run from the beginning, let alone relying on external forces.

Fighting upright, as Geng Yan of the Geng Army.

He knew best about the hardships along the way, but Li Shen was there to accompany him through the most difficult times.Without the person behind him who can rest assured to entrust his life at the critical moment of life and death, he is indeed a bit lonely... I have always wanted to take him to see the beauty of the pinnacle of the world, and share all the glory and joy with him.

It was Li Shen who made him understand what love is.

"Fight."

Geng Yan said calmly, since there will always be difficulties and obstacles on this road, he should hold the sword in his hand tightly and walk on through the thorns and thorns.He will not regret his choice, nor will he lament the injustice of fate, but will always follow his own path, moving forward and never stopping.

He will definitely win.

………………

"Your plan has worked so far."

In a small airship outside Chang'an City, Wang Zhen in a gray robe said to the sage sitting behind the table.There were only the two of them in this small room at the moment, and the other five gray robed knights, including the first knight, were all moving out as planned.

"Geng Yan was held back by Hades and Li Tea House. If he can't make it back, then the day after tomorrow's military ceremony will definitely be his substitute."

"Well, the ceremony platform is already being built. I will leave a space for people below. The key is to succeed in one blow. On the day of the ceremony, five paladins will guard the emperor. Once you miss, there will be no second time." Chance."

"The stand-in itself is the cultivation base of the Nine Steps of the Immortal Road." Wang Zhen frowned, "And once the ceremony platform is completed, it will be strictly guarded. If you want to hide in it, you have to take advantage of the moment, that is to say, at least two days I don’t eat or drink for a long time and hide in it. Not to mention the physical consumption, I’m more worried about his mental fatigue.”

"This is not a problem. The person I arranged was trained as an assassin from birth. It is common for him to lurk for a long time, and it is not the first time to assassinate a strong person in Jiubu of Xianlu... I just think that we should do it again Some preparations just in case, after all, fate, this guy, has always taken pleasure in teasing people."

When he said this, the sage's face was dim, as if recalling some bad memories.Wang Zhen looked at him quietly and didn't speak for a moment. Just when both of them fell into silence, a chuckle suddenly sounded from the corner of the room.

The double blades around his waist were unsheathed in an instant, Wang Zhen turned around and followed the prestige, and asked, "Who!?"

A piece of bandage was hanging down from above, and amidst the rustling sound, the person standing in the dark corner of the room showed his face wrapped in bandage, and grinned slightly at Wang Zhen.

"Don't worry, it's me."
