Chapter 137: Number One in the Army, Wan Chengzhong
Zhang Ruochen had already guessed what happened in Wushi Money House, but when he heard Liu Chuanshen say it, he still felt thrilled and said, "Wushi Money House has been operating in Yunwu County for so long and has the support of official strength. Who has such great ability to take away all the industries of Wushi Money House overnight?"
Liu Chuanshen said sadly: "The other party has been making arrangements for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity."
"Is it a black market?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Liu Chuanshen nodded and said, "It's not just the black market, but another force. This time, the power hidden behind the black market has gained real benefits. Although the black market has also seized some industries, it is only 20%.
"It's even more powerful than the black market. Could it be... the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen said: "That's right, it's the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. In order to launch this battle, all the masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect in Yunwu County were mobilized. Moreover, I suspect that they had transferred a large number of masters from other counties and countries, so the Wushi Money House was beaten to no avail."
Zhang Ruochen said: "The Wushi money shop and the official forces have always been in a cooperative relationship. Did the official forces not take any action to suppress the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult?"
Liu Chuanshen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "The four counties and states declared war on Yunwu County. Within ten days, they would cross the twelve cities of Yunwu County and the 100,000 troops turned into bones. The court of Yunwu County and the state of Yunwu County had already been in danger and was in chaos. How could they have the energy to mobilize the army to assist the Wushi Money House? The Black Market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult took this interest, so they took action at this time, caught Wushi Money House off guard."
Zhang Ruochen comforted: "Don't be discouraged, the black market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult join forces. Who can stop it today?"
"Anyway, Liu must thank the Ninth Prince for his life-saving grace. If there is something useful to Liu in the future, only the Ninth Prince's words will Liu will definitely return today's kindness." Liu Chuanshen's heart moved and said, "Is the Ninth Prince going back to the royal city?"
"Yes." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen shook his head and said, "Don't go back. Now Yunwu County is in a storm. Outside, there are large armies of counties and states in all directions, and there are black markets and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Sect eyeing them inside, and there are also controversies in the court."
"Because the Prince Yunwu was in charge of the royal city, there was no chaos in the royal city. If something unexpected happened to Prince Yunwu... To put it bluntly, that time was when Yunwu County destroyed the country."
"Imagine if Yunwu County is destroyed and you return to the royal city, wouldn't you be seeking death? Follow me to the Wushi Academy! Sifang County, black market, and Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. No matter how rampant they are, they will never be able to conquer Wushi Academy."
Zhang Ruochen thought of his mother, Princess Nine, and the father who was both strange and familiar, with a firm look in his eyes and said, "Master Liu doesn't have to persuade me, I must go back to the royal city. No matter how dangerous it is, I will go back."
Liu Chuanshen no longer advised him and said, "If you go back to the royal city, you must be careful of the queen and the national teacher. They have always wanted to get rid of you. Moreover, they now control half of the power in the royal city, and many families and sects have defected to them."
"Thank you for your reminder." Zhang Ruochen asked, "What are the plans of the Lord Liu Zhuang next?"
Liu Chuanshen sighed again and said, "The industries of Yunwu County and the country were all lost under my management, causing the money house to suffer heavy losses. I must go back to Tianmo Wu City to apologize."
At this moment, there was a shocking sound of fighting outside the city lord's mansion.
Zhang Ruochen and Liu Chuanshen looked at each other, stopped talking, and walked outside.
A roar sounded, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be exhausted in an instant, and the ground trembled.
In the city lord's mansion, the inscriptions of the formation were activated, intertwined into a large net, and rose into the air.
The protection formation has been opened!
The general Chen Yuchan of Tianyue Pass personally presided over the formation and led 5,000 elite troops to have a fierce confrontation with the men in black who came to break into the city lord's mansion.
Hearing the movements from outside, Liu Chuanshen's face was still calm and asked, "Nine Prince, where is this place?"
"The General's Mansion in Tianyue Pass." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen nodded gently, "It turns out that it is in Tianyue Pass. With Chen Yuchan's ability and the city protection formation, it should be able to block the attacks of the black market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Sect."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Once a war breaks out in Tianyue Pass, it will surely alarm the royal city. The masters in the royal city can arrive within an hour. Therefore, as long as Chen Yuchan can hold on for an hour, the crisis in Tianyue Pass will naturally be solved."
"You're right!"
Liu Chuanshen looked at Zhang Ruochen, showed a very appreciative expression and said, "You have chosen to come to Tianyue Pass, which is the right way to do it. This is the only way to live. How good would you be if you are my descendant?"
"Liu Chengfeng is also a young genius, and his future achievements will definitely be high." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen shook his head and said, "He is less than one-tenth of yours."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the huge formation floating above his head and nodded slightly, "There is no need to open the city protection formation, just open the palace protection formation, which should be able to block the black market and the people of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect."
The city-mopping array consumes a lot of spiritual crystals and cannot be opened easily.
If the city-mopping formation at Tianyue Pass is activated once, it will consume at least 10,000 spiritual crystals, worth ten million silver coins.
Therefore, unless the absolute crisis is at the moment, the city moat formation will not be opened.
Even if it is just a protective formation that protects the city lord's mansion, it will cost 500 spiritual crystals once to be activated.
Since the Great Protective Formation was opened, the soldiers outside should be able to block the black market and the evil people of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect, and Zhang Ruochen did not need to take action.
An hour later, all the men in black who came to attack the city lord's mansion retreated, leaving hundreds of corpses of warriors on the street.
The five thousand soldiers guarding the city lord's mansion also suffered heavy casualties, nearly a thousand people were killed in battle, and more than two thousand people were seriously injured, which was quite tragic.
Liu Chuanshen looked at the men in black who were retreating, his eyes shrank slightly, and he showed a confused look, and said, "Strange! Why are only evil people from the black market attacking the city lord's mansion? Why didn't the masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect go out?"
"The masters of the Moon-Worshiping Demon Sect did not come out?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen nodded and said, "If the masters of the Moon-Worshiping Demon Sect also come to attack the City Lord's Mansion, relying solely on the protection of the mansion, they may not be able to stop them."
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Black Market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult have joined forces to deal with the Wushi Money Bank, they are not all the people. Since the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult has gained benefits from it, maybe they are watching the show on the side and waiting for the Black Market to fight us to lose both sides."
"It should be."
Liu Chuanshen thought for a while and said, "The chief lord of the Moon Demon Cult who guards Yunwu County is definitely a ruthless person. I sent out to investigate her, and none of them came back alive. I have not found out her true identity so far, only knowing that she should be a woman. If you fight with her in the future, you must be extremely careful."
The rapid footsteps sounded.
Chen Yuchan and Zhang Shaochu walked towards Zhang Ruochen, and there was also a bald man with a pair of huge elephant ears in front of them.
The bald man was wearing golden armor and was 2.7 meters tall, just like an iron tower giant. He was dragging a long cloak behind him, holding a blue battle axe in his hand, and exuding a powerful martial arts aura.
Even Chen Yuchan and Zhang Shaochu seemed very respectful in front of the bald man, and walked carefully behind the bald man.
Chen Yuchan introduced: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, this is the commander of the imperial guards in the royal city, and the ten thousand cities are the most important."
Zhang Ruochen had heard of Wanchengzhong's name, the number one figure in Yunwu County*, and was known as the power to be able to turn the mountain. It is a martial arts myth in the realm of the Heavenly Realm.
A person like Wan Chengzhong would not have served as the commander of an imperial guard in a lower-class county. That's because when he was young, he once owed Prince Yunwu a life, so he agreed to help Prince Yunwu stay in the royal city for forty years.
Wanchengzhong has always lived in simplicity and rarely asked about the imperial guards.
It was not until recently that the Yunwu County and the State of Yunwu County had undergone a tremendous change that the Prince of Yunwu invited him out and guarded the royal city.
Wan Chengzhong's sharp eyes looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully. Seeing Zhang Ruochen appear calm and calm in front of him, he felt a little more praise.
"It's indeed an outstanding talent, no wonder the king asked me to pick you up in person. Your talent should not be inferior to the seventh brother." Wan Cheng said again.
Wanchengzhong is not a pure human, but a barbarian elephant semi-human race. Not only is human blood flowing in its body, but also mana elephant blood flowing.
Zhang Ruochen said: "How long does it take to return to the royal city?"
"tomorrow."
After a pause, Wan Chengzhong said coldly: "Tonight, I have to solve some more things. The Black Market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult are in a turmoil. They don't take me, the commander of the Imperial Guard, seriously, and should also make them pay some price."
"Now, the masters of the Black Market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect gathered at Tianyue Pass. It was the time to deal with them. Chen Yuchan, open the city protection formation. I want to carry out a major clearance of the evil people of the Black Market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect."
Chen Yuchan's brow shrank slightly and said, "Great Commander, it will cost ten thousand spiritual crystals to open a city-mopping array..."
Wan Cheng glared at Chen Yuchan and said, "I will give these ten thousand spiritual crystals. Just open the city protection formation and leave other things to me."
Not long after Chen Yuchan and Wan Chengchong left, the city-sharing formation at Tianyue Pass was opened.
"Boom!"
The entire city pass was shaking violently, and a huge circular array plate was suspended at a height of 100 meters, slowly rotating, covering the entire Tianyue Pass.
The violent vibration of Tianyue Pass made the mountains around Chengguan sway, and the whole world seemed to be shaking.
Ghostly beams of light rushed out from the ground and connected to the array disk in the sky.
In just one moment, the dark night sky was completely illuminated by the light of the formation, as if it had turned into daylight.
