Chapter 260 Return to the old place, Pingchuan City
"Yang Xuanlan is actually the floating battleship he summoned..."
Yang Ji remembered what the imperial general said, and a thought flashed through his mind. Yang Xuanlan was the governor of Langya County, and he had to bear the greatest responsibility if anything went wrong during this underworld disaster.
When Yang Ji came out of the underworld passage, he was a little surprised that the imperial court's floating warships would appear here. But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Xuanlan married into Taiyuan Palace and became the Prince Consort of Chaoyang. With his status and status, he was transferred to the imperial court's floating warships.
Empty fleet, others can't do it, but it's not a big deal to him.
"...He finally did something good this time."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart. He knew very well that Yang Xuanlan did this behavior not out of any selflessness or compassion, but entirely for himself and worrying about his own future.
Moreover, the always strict old general Wang Tai suddenly stayed behind. With him around, no matter how much Yang Xuanlan neglected his duties, he would not dare to make a mistake at this time.
"Boom!"
Bursts of loud noises came from the distance. Yang Ji came back to his senses and looked up. In the distance, he saw a small mountain-like floating warship suddenly falling from the sky and plunging into the ground.
The evil ghosts, yakshas, and rakshasas didn't even have time to escape, so they were crushed into meat pies by the floating battleship, including their skins and bones. However, due to such an impact, the floating battleship itself suffered no damage.
Fly into the sky.
At the entrance to the top of the mountain, the imperial court's massive aerial warships concentrated fire attack, which was far from being so thorough. There were still many underworld creatures that escaped sporadically.
As far as Yang Ji could see, except for the floating battleships arranged in a ring at the entrance of the passage, the other floating battleships were almost all encircling and suppressing these fish that had slipped through the net. There were streaks of red fire, long spears, and long arrows, constantly coming from behind.
Shooting down from the air.
But what's more, it's the kind of crushing like a meteorite impact. In front of the floating battleship, almost no underworld creature can resist, and they are all smashed into meat patties.
"His!"
Yang Ji looked into the sky and took a deep breath. This was the first time he had truly seen the power of a floating battleship, and he was deeply shocked.
"Back in Langya County, Senior Brother Zhao and the others once said that the blast furnaces in the city were used to refine refined iron. The highest grade of refined iron was used to cast floating battleships. I didn't care at the time. Now.
It seems that this kind of power is really terrifying."
Yang Ji looked at the floating battleships in the sky and thought to himself.
Each of these floating battleships weighs at least dozens to millions of kilograms. For warriors and underworld creatures whose strength is still only a few thousand kilograms, this is a completely unimaginable heavy force. Being pressed like this,
There is no luck at all. No matter how much you resist, you will turn into meat cakes.
These floating warships don't even need to use any other means. Just relying on their own weight, such a pressure is already an extremely powerful and destructive means.
Even Wuzong didn't dare to take it head-on!
Moreover, these floating battleships are extremely strong and are made of the highest grade special grade fine iron. If they had been hit with something else like this, they would have been damaged already.
But these imperial floating warships were able to escape unscathed.
Yang Ji looked at the overwhelming number of floating warships in the sky, and finally understood why these things could become the imperial weapon's weapon to control the country.
"I'm overthinking it. Although there are many creatures in the underworld, the imperial court's heritage is equally rich. With just this floating fleet, no matter how many evil ghosts, yakshas, and rakshasas there are, as long as they are not flying yakshas, they will almost be dead ends.
One piece."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his mind. He thought of the mountains in the underworld on the other side of the space-time channel. If these terrifying floating fleets from the imperial court were to appear in the underworld, the lethality would be unimaginable.
Even though there are many evil ghosts, yakshas and rakshasas, they probably won't be able to hold on for long.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji jumped up and stepped hard on a rock in front of him. With a whoosh sound, it turned into a streak of white-hot sword energy, splitting open a mutant yaksha in front of him. He jumped up and used it as a stepping stone to perform all kinds of magic.
With the unique skill of killing people in succession, he went down the mountain like lightning.
The sharp whistling sound of the sword energy lasted endlessly. Yang Ji stretched down from the top of the mountain, destroying everything he passed, leaving corpses that fell like straw.
"Buzz!"
After about half a cup of tea, there was a sound of wind, and Yang Ji finally appeared at the bottom of the mountain. In front of Yang Ji, a huge, broken city wall stood in front of Yang Ji.
Through a section of the collapsed wall, Yang Ji saw row upon row of familiar buildings. Fires were raging and smoke was billowing. Seeing this scene, Yang Ji suddenly felt sad:
"Pingchuan City..."
——The city in front of him is clearly the Pingchuan City that Yang Ji has been away from for a long time.
Yang Ji had already had a premonition of the underworld. But when he actually saw it, he still felt an unspoken sadness. This city was the first place he left his hometown and arrived, and it was also the first time he took part in the martial arts examination.
In the place of destiny, there are many people he is familiar with.
But in front of me, it had already turned into a scene of the underworld being ravaged by creatures.
"I didn't expect it to be here!"
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Ten years ago, an Asura escaped from here with countless underworld creatures, causing a catastrophe. At that time, it was covered up by the court and turned into a sudden earthquake.
Although there is very little information, Yang Ji can also imagine that when the accident occurs, there must be heavy casualties. Otherwise, it is impossible that the truth will not be spread.
Ten years later, just like reincarnation, this channel was opened again by someone who was interested.
Yang Ji was almost certain that the person who opened this huge passage must be related to those behind the scenes of the Skeleton Ghost King.
"Not good, Uncle Liang!"
Suddenly, a thought passed through his mind, Yang Ji was startled, and his face changed instantly. With a swish, he passed over the city wall and immediately rushed into the city.
Uncle Liang was the person closest to Yang Ji in the world. When he left Pingchuan City, Uncle Liang was too old to follow him around. Yang Ji entrusted him to Lu Ling's care.
Lu Ling is the daughter of the city lord, so there will be no problem. But from these disasters, even the city lord's palace may not be able to protect itself, let alone Uncle Liang.
"Uncle Liang, don't let anything happen!"
Yang Jiwu's body was on fire, whoosh, whoosh, and the Floating Light Body Technique was used to the limit. Two sounds of wind whistled, and they flew toward the city lord's palace like lightning.
It was quiet on both sides of the street. Yang Ji didn't pay attention at first, and rushed forward in a hurry. However, after crossing several streets in a row, Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt something was wrong.
We have traveled such a long distance and passed so many restaurants, wine shops, teahouses, and houses. We can’t see a single person around, so it doesn’t matter if no one comes out. But with such a big thing happening, why is there not even a body on the street?
, didn’t see any blood?
Yang Ji slowly stopped, frowning deeply, and the suspicion in his heart became even more intense.
"Could it be..."
Some ideas flashed through Yang Ji's mind, but he was anxious and unsure:
"Go up and have a look."
Yang Ji spun his feet. With a whooshing sound, he suddenly jumped up like a kite, turned over in mid-air, and immediately landed on the roof of a nearby house.
The tiles on the roof were shaken down a large level by the deafening sound. Yang Ji stood on the eaves and saw most of Pingchuan City in his eyes.
Looking over from the rooftop, there were no traces of people around here, and there were very few corpses. This was almost the case throughout Pingchuan City. There were only a few corpses in the entire criss-crossing streets. The imagined massacre did not appear at all.
In fact, if you look carefully, Pingchuan City is lined with row upon row, and almost all of them are scenes of elites from the imperial court cooperating with floating battleships to encircle and suppress evil spirits, yakshas, and rakshasas.
Many of the corpses lying on the ground were soldiers of the imperial court. But most of them were the corpses of creatures from the underworld. They were everywhere in restaurants, teahouses, slaughterhouses, restaurants, and rooftops.
"The imperial court has evacuated the people in the city?"
Yang Ji was surprised and happy.
In the streets and alleys, there are more corpses of underworld creatures than people, and there are more corpses of imperial soldiers than common people. There is no other explanation except that the imperial court evacuated the common people in the city in advance.
"Very good!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed. He stepped through the roof and fell into the room. The room was empty, except for the bed table and boxes, everything else was taken away.
"It must be the arrangement made by General Wang Tai."
Yang Ji let out a heavy breath, and his heart was full of joy. For such a large city, with so many people, it is not easy to evacuate safely and in an orderly manner. It requires strong organizational and platooning capabilities.
Yang Xuanlan has not been seen yet, and Yang Ji definitely doesn't think it was him.
"It must have been after the martial arts examination was over that General Wang Tai saw the underworld creatures appearing outside Langya City and made arrangements."
Yang Ji thought secretly in his heart.
Wang Tai was an important and famous minister of the imperial court, with high moral standing and high prestige. He had also participated in the war against the barbarian tribes in the northwest and had rich experience in this area.
With his appearance, this aspect is really a problem.
Wang Tai was the inspecting examiner and originally had no local management rights. Yang Ji could almost guess that Yang Xuanlan must have seen that this matter was beneficial to him, turned a blind eye, and took the initiative to let Wang Tai
took over the rights.
"If General Wang Tai is in charge, Liang Boluling and the others will definitely be fine."
A flash of bright light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes, he rolled up and flew out of the cave entrance again to the roof. Whoosh, whoosh, Yang Ji didn't stand still, he flew directly along the ridge of the roof, climbed over the eaves, walked along the wall, and jumped away.
"Ouch!"
In front, an evil ghost was lying on all fours on the roof. Suddenly smelling Yang Ji's breath, he jumped up, spread his limbs, and flew towards Yang Ji. A stench came from a distance.
Yang Ji could see clearly that the evil ghost had suction cup-like things at the end of its outstretched limbs. It was clearly a mutated creature.
"Well done!"
Yang Ji was in a good mood. He suddenly picked up the sword in his hand and slashed out. With a sound like cracking silk, Yang Ji passed by. Behind him, the mutated evil ghost split into two halves and fell down.
After a while, Yang Ji arrived at the garden where he used to live in Pingchuan City and pushed the door open. As expected, the garden was empty, with no one there.
"Uncle Liang is really not here."
Yang Ji became more and more certain.
"stop!"
While rushing towards the city lord's palace to inspect, a group of fully armed heavy armored cavalry stopped Yang Ji and stared at him with suspicion:
"Who are you? Why are you so close to the City Lord's Mansion?"
The tone was extremely stern. The City Lord's Mansion is an important place in the city, and some court files are usually stored there. Yang Ji looked "sneaky" near the City Lord's Mansion, which immediately attracted the attention of these heavy armored cavalry. (To be continued, please search.
