Chapter 470 The Great Elder was stunned and cried with joy
Dawn was approaching and it was the darkest time in the sky. Even so, everyone could still see the outline of a giant beast entrenched in front of them. It was huge.
"This is the headquarters of Xuanyuan Tianzong. I thought it was on a mountain, but I didn't expect it to be a big city!" Jiang Xingchen murmured.
"In the earliest days, Xuanyuan Tianzong was a small sect. Later, it suddenly rose up during the war and continued to encroach on surrounding forces. It took hundreds of years to form what it is today..." the old man explained.
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, feeling a little strange. The structure of a sect could actually develop into a country-like force. It had to be said that it was very novel and completely different from the political structure he knew.
"Okay, let's set off. We have to find the Great Elder first. Time is tight. Once it gets dark, it will be too late!" the old man said and waved back.
At this time, even Zhao Danqing became serious, this was no joke, he was really risking his life.
Jiang Xingchen did not follow. It was already dawn and it was very close to Xian Ning's departure time. He had to arrange his escape here.
Once the opponent pursues them, they must all be masters. The old man can escape with Xian Ning, but others cannot. At first, he also thought about letting the old man do it by himself, but he didn't dare. Xuanyuan Tianzong has Qi Condensing Warriors to surround him to death.
The experience of the best master in the world, this is their headquarters, it is better to have more people to take care of a wider area.
Jiang Xingchen and a Jingtian member stayed here to lay landmines, while Mo Hongxian, Han Xiaowu, and Zhao Danqing, led by the old man, disappeared into the darkness and rushed towards the big city ahead...
It is not difficult to find the Great Elder. As the second-largest figure in Xuanyuan Tianzong, his residence is very obvious. With the old man's hand, it is easy to sneak into it.
However, this is an emergency period, and the great elder's house is also heavily guarded. Even if the old man is extremely fast, it will be difficult to escape the surveillance that has no blind spots, and in such a large house, it will be dawn after searching every house.
So after the old man entered the courtyard, he immediately revealed his figure. He knew that the people patrolling here were definitely die-hard loyalists of the great elder, and the news would not be leaked.
The elder didn't sleep all night. In fact, he didn't sleep much for the past two days. He watched the cooked duck fly away. How could he sleep?
At this moment, the great elder was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. His face was as gloomy as water. The closer it was to Xian Ning's departure, the more irritable he felt. There was a feeling of anger in his heart, which made him feel like burning the room.
The urge to smash everything.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and the silent dawn seemed particularly harsh.
"What's the matter?" He stopped outside the door, and before anyone could report him, the great elder asked. He was extremely irritable now, and was very impatient with anything that disturbed him.
"Great Elder, an old man named Tang Tian broke into the house and said he had something important to ask you!" the subordinate outside the door reported.
"What's the important matter? How dare you break into the Great Elder's mansion without permission? Wait a minute! Who are you talking about?" The Great Elder suddenly got excited in the middle of his words.
"A little old man named Tang Tian!" The subordinate was repeating, but the door had already been opened, and the elder rushed out in a hurry, startling him.
When he looked up and saw the great elder's expression, he was stunned! It was a shocked expression. He had never told the great elder to be like this.
"Where is he?" the great elder asked impatiently. Of course he knew who Tang Tian was, but he just didn't realize it at first. You can imagine the shock in his heart at this time. He came here in two days, how could this be possible?
, to this day he still doubts whether this is true. Could it be that they had wings and flew here.
It would be possible if Tang Tian came by himself, but he didn't think that Tang Tian came alone. No matter how high Tang Tian's cultivation level was, he couldn't take Xian Ning away by himself. There were many experts watching around, as well as heavy armored knights.
Team guard.
"Just outside the courtyard gate!" the subordinate replied quickly.
"Lead the way! Hurry!" The elder came back to his senses from the shock and loudly ordered his subordinates.
When he saw Tang Tian outside the courtyard gate, the elder changed from shock to excitement. The hope in his heart was once again ignited. Originally, he thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, it suddenly became clear. No matter how the other party came,
As long as I can take Xian Ning away, that will be fine.
The old man was now full of satisfaction. Although the elder tried his best to control it, the fluctuations in his emotions were still reflected in his eyes. This allowed him to fully enjoy the fun brought by the divine weapons descending from the sky.
"Mr. Tang, how many of you are here?" The elder asked straight to the point without any polite words. Time is running out now, and there is no time to say anything else.
"There are six people in total, and the other five are waiting outside! Tell me immediately, Great Elder, Xian Ning's residence, terrain, and who is around!" Mr. Tang also had no unnecessary nonsense.
"Xian Ning's residence is..." The Great Elder briefly explained everything Tang Tian wanted to know, and finally said: "Be careful, the Heavy Armor Knights are around Xian Ning, and there are many experts monitoring it!"
The old man nodded, waved his hand and said: "We will leave the city from the southwest soon! When we came here, we climbed over the wall, but if there is chaos here, the defense on the city wall must be strengthened. Great Elder, we don't want many people on the city wall.
Obstruction, you should be able to do this!"
The great elder nodded and said: "That's no problem. I will dispatch people from there to search the city..."
"In addition, please tell the people in your house to be more strict with their mouths. Many patrol officers saw me just now!" The old man warned again.
"Don't worry, my people are absolutely loyal and there will be no problem!" After saying that, the great elder paused and asked, "Did Jiang Xingchen come with you?"
"He has no cultivation, do you think he will come?" the old man asked back, sneered in his heart, turned around and left.
The elder was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. How could Jiang Xingchen come to such a dangerous place...
Then, he issued a strict order that no one was allowed to tell anyone about the people he saw tonight, and then he hurried out and rushed to the southwest city gate.
Although the plan seems very complicated, if it is started, it will only take a few minutes at most. It cannot be long. He has to make arrangements quickly...
Walking on the road, the Great Elder still had an unreal feeling. Tang Tian and the others appeared too suddenly, and the surprise was too big...
At this time, in Xian Ning's residence, Xian Ning, dressed in white, stood at the window, looking at the eastern horizon. For the first time, she hoped that the night would never pass.
However, no one can stop the pace of time. After a while, a white line appeared on the eastern horizon. Along with this white line, the last illusion in Xian Ning's heart was completely shattered.
At this time, a voice sounded outside the door: "Miss Xian Ning, it's time to leave!"
Xian Ning trembled, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Just wait a moment, I'll come out right now!"
After saying that, Xian Ning turned around and looked at the house where she had lived for more than 20 years, and a trace of sadness appeared on her cold face.
Lifting her feet gently, she walked to a cabinet. Xian Ning opened it gently. It was filled with white silk, which were all records she had made while studying the relics of the Great Shang Dynasty.
"I won't be able to use these things anymore. I really can't bear to part with them... I really want to go to Jiang Xingchen and continue researching..." Xian Ning murmured softly, her eyes filled with mist.
"Miss Xian Ning, it's time to leave!" The urging voice outside the courtyard door sounded again.
Xian Ning gritted her teeth, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, closed the cabinet door forcefully, as if saying goodbye to her best friend, then turned and walked towards the door.
But at this moment, a sudden earth-shaking loud noise came into his ears, like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, which made Xian Ning's ears buzz.
Immediately afterwards, there was a wailing sound, and the sound of horses neighing and people screaming seemed extremely harsh and terrifying in the darkness of dawn.
There was chaos outside the door, and people kept shouting loudly.
"What happened, what happened outside the yard?"
"There was an attack. Go and see what happened?"
"Watch Xian Ning, there must be someone who wants to hijack Xian Ning..."
Xian Ning's steps had stopped. After being stunned for a moment, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on her face.
"Grenade, that sound of explosion must be a grenade!" After the defeat of Xuanyuan Tianzong, she has been studying grenades. Although she can't figure out the trigger device and delay device, she can make the Yuan Stone explode in a confined space. After many experiments, she became very familiar with the sound of explosions.
Who would cause an explosion at the door of their house at dawn? No one from the Xuanyuan Tianzong could do it. The only possibility is Jiang Xingchen's people.
There is no doubt about Xian Ning's intelligence. She analyzed the general possibility in a blink of an eye. She couldn't help crying with joy. She could no longer control her emotions and her tears spewed out uncontrollably.
"They, they are really coming!" Xian Ning cried and murmured. Her face was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was indescribably pitiful. And she herself seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her body shook and fell. Sitting on the ground.
There was even more chaos outside the door. There was another explosion and roar, followed by the bang of a bow string, and screams one after another at the door of the room.
"Crossbows, they have crossbows, spread out, spread out quickly!"
"Guard the door and don't let them enter the house, they want to hijack Xian Ning!"
"If you can't hold it back, this crossbow arrow can even break through heavy armor!"
Amidst the roars, a super loud voice suddenly suppressed all the sounds: "Old man, hurry up! More heavy armored cavalry are coming!"
After this roar, the door was pushed open and a little old man rushed into the room.
"Xian Ning!" The old man asked immediately when he saw Xian Ning sitting on the ground crying.
"Yes!" Xian Ning nodded vigorously and choked with sobs: "Are you from Jiang Xingchen?"
"Yes! Come with me quickly, that boy is still waiting outside the city!" After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for Xian Ning to answer, he stepped forward, lifted Xian Ning up and jumped out of the door.
In this short moment, the sky was already half light, and a large group of heavy armored cavalry had already surrounded them. On the roof, there were hundreds of masters speeding up.
PS: I’m going to have a parent-teacher meeting for my daughter at 5:30, so there won’t be a third update. Brothers, please forgive me!
