Chapter 426: Little Deputy City Lord, wake up, you can’t sleep...
"Boom!"
There was a roar.
The sky is filled with silhouettes.
When the beam of light soared into the sky, even the vigil could not sit still.
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, and his eyes as he looked at Xu Xiaoshou were filled with shock.
"Is this a fryer?"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and someone else had told him about the attack on the city lord's palace, he would have been able to write a letter on the spot without even thinking about it.
"Help!"
Shiti roared loudly.
He knew the damage Xu Xiaoshou could suffer from the explosion, so he could protect him as soon as possible.
However, in order to save the lives of those nearby, his first reaction was not to go towards the beam of light that soared into the sky.
Instead, it suddenly flew into the sky and pulled down all the people around it who were thrown away.
If these people were blasted to the top and exploded with the explosion, their bones would definitely be gone.
"help me!"
Xu Xiaoshou also screamed.
The power of the "Jinzhao Condensation Pill Technique" plus the sixth-grade top elixir was obviously beyond his control.
But he is lucky.
The "Counter Shock" could not withstand the blasting attack, but instead pushed Xu Xiaoshou out in parallel, causing him to quickly evacuate the scene.
boom!
With a crashing sound, Xu Xiaoshou's figure hit the wall directly and was blasted out of the banquet room.
He looked at the beam bars in the field in disbelief, as well as President Shiti who was hurriedly trying to save the flying crowd.
"It's cold."
If this thing exploded, not to mention the banquet hall, half of the city lord's palace would be destroyed!
"Go back!"
At the critical moment, Vigil finally came to his senses.
He thought of Haikou, which he had boasted about earlier.
If this crowd can't be saved, they won't have the dignity to leave this place tonight.
"Condensation!"
With a shout, Vigilante clasped his hands together, and a terrifying force exploded.
He actually surrounded this astonishing beam of light in the void and clamped it down.
"Buzz!"
After saving most of the people, Shiti's realm was finally covered, and he was unable to save the rest.
"Buzz!"
On the next level, the realm of the vigil was directly transformed into a columnar shape, restraining the light beam.
The two of them worked together very well in the interim, one saved the person and the other saved the pillar.
But the explosion that is wrapped up will eventually explode.
"Rumble--"
The earth-shaking sound finally exploded after the energy of the beam reached its extreme.
The realm of Vigil suppressed all of this, but the suppression within a narrow range caused the waves of explosions to push outward in waves, and then rebound.
Over and over again, the damage suffered by one person in the vigil at this moment can be said to be several times more than that of this explosion.
"Well!"
Suddenly, Shouye's body shook.
His eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs bulged, and his Adam's apple moved.
It was as if some unexpected situation had occurred due to contempt.
After the silent fluctuation, the scene became quiet for a while.
The energy of the explosion was completely blocked, but the air wave that spread out in an instant swept through the entire scene after half a breath.
Xu Xiaoshou could clearly see the outer wall of the banquet hall. The air wave that was visible to the naked eye swept through everyone's clothes and flew away.
"Bang bang bang——"
Floor, banquet, food...
Together with the crowd who had been pulled down to the ground and barely found a little sense of security, they were once again swept into pieces and fell into the air.
"boom!"
The circular outer wall of the banquet hall seemed to be blasted through, and suddenly exploded, shooting towards the white-clothed guards who rushed over not far away, not knowing why but knowing that they were attacked here.
With a crash, the crowd fell down again in an instant.
Xu Xiao was injured.
He lay on the ground, shrinking his head, feeling the aftershocks on the ground, and his heart was filled with waves.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
As far as the eye could see, the entire banquet hall was gone.
This is also thanks to Shiti's boundary wall, which not only stopped the people who were flying away, but also curbed the spread of the storm, so that the explosion was only maintained in such a small range.
Looking back at the audience, basically there are only a few thrones still standing at this moment.
Zhang Taiying was already stupid.
He only grabbed the feet of the two people who were flying close. Just as he was about to support him again, he was stunned by the explosion.
This scene……
The corners of his eyes twitched.
Wasn't the Zhang Mansion exploded like this that day?
But now that we were closer, what we felt was completely different from the slight earthquake at that time.
"Xu Xiaoshou...it turns out that Dongting District is so helpless..."
He murmured, his face gloomy to the extreme.
Except for a few standing thrones, those of Grandmaster and below were either hanging on the rubble or flying to unknown places...
There is no doubt that those old men who made alchemy were all buried under the rubble that was being dug up again.
Of course, these people are still happy.
The most deceived ones are those old men who were swept away from the protective barrier, swept away the explosion furnace, and then opened their eyes to see the end of the world.
God knows, the shadow at this moment may accompany them to death and cannot be eliminated.
"Guilty."
Xu Xiaoshou blinked his eyes in embarrassment.
"It's not like the 'Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique'. Could it be that the old man's Condensing Pill Breaking Technique, coupled with the higher-level elixir, is more powerful?"
It was obviously the moment when he should feel guilty, but suddenly the ideas in his mind came together, as if he had been enlightened, and his eyes lit up.
At this moment, a suppressed roar came.
"Xu, Xiao, accept!"
Shiti, who was protecting all this, was already turning green.
His face was gray and gray, and his voice was mutated and horribly harsh.
"exist."
Xu Xiaoshou immediately popped his head out of the mound and waved back: "President, don't worry, I'm fine."
"?"
The scene was dead silent for a moment.
"Received curse, passive value, +1420."
"Received resentment, passive value, +1356."
"Received fear, passive value, +1020."
"Received insult, passive value, +1211."
"..."
At this moment, the speed at which the information bar refreshes the screen is unprecedentedly crazy, even more impressive than the high frequency of "being attacked".
And the passive value updated every time is almost never less than four digits!
"Ahem."
Only then did Xu Xiaoshou realize that he might have misunderstood what President Shiti meant.
"Let's talk about accountability later. Let's save people first. It's not my intention to blow up the furnace. I just hope... hmm? The storm will be calm?" Xu Xiaoshou said smoothly.
Shiti: "..."
He was in a mixed mood at this time, and he really wanted to vent something in the most vicious words.
But I searched the vocabulary and found no insulting language, and I couldn't say it myself. I didn't know what attitude to use at this moment to face all this.
"What the hell~"
The crowd held it in for a long time, and finally a voice that was frightening, trembling, but trying its best to express the desire to complain converged into those two words, plus a trembling ending.
"Is this a fucking furnace?"
After a cry, everyone finally woke up.
"I'm holding you in my mouth, Xu Xiaoshou. Come out here and see if I don't beat you to death!"
"You did this on purpose? What were you refining just now? Explosives?"
"Xu Xiaoshou, where are you? Come out and die!"
"Uh, no, no, no, no, you put something in my mouth."
"I can't move, my foot is broken."
"Feet? Toes? Ugh!"
"..."
Hearing the curses here, Xu Xiaoshou immediately flicked his sword energy and destroyed the few scattered night pearls on the ground that were still struggling to release their light.
The dark night finally wiped away all the sins.
Everyone scolded them weakly, and the scene seemed to become quiet.
The wind blew, and a sad breath spread, bringing with it additional sounds that did not belong to the resentful crowd.
"Plop..."
"Plop..."
Shiti's pupils shrank.
When he heard this familiar voice, his heart felt like it was twitching, and it started to twitch.
"Be careful, that kind of flame, use your spiritual sense to see it!"
Everyone still didn't understand why, but some guys near the blasting center started screaming in agony.
"ah--"
"What the hell? Will-o'-the-wisp?"
"Jinzhao Tianyan?" Xu Xiaoshou was startled and immediately rushed over.
With a suction of his mouth, he absorbed the little bit of flame that leaked out into his abdomen.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it was the red clothes' strength that prevented the explosion from exploding. Otherwise, the place would be filled with embers, and I'm afraid even Shiti wouldn't be able to put out the fire..."
When Xu Xiaoshou thought about his all-consuming Ember Sky Flame filling half of the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately felt guilty.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his steps were suspended and he was floating in the air.
"Um?"
When he turned around, under the hazy moonlight, Shi Ti's rustic and ferocious face appeared in front of him.
As for Xu Xiaoshou, he was simply hung up through his clothes.
"Whoosh!"
Shi Ti flicked his fingers, and a bright flame flew into the sky, finally returning a little clarity to this place.
After everyone was finally able to see with the naked eye, they looked around the entire banquet room and collectively lost their temper.
"It was half in ruins just now, and now it's all gone?"
"Damn it, where is alchemy? Others need money to make alchemy, but Xu Xiaoshou's alchemy needs his life!"
Everyone looked away in shock, and then focused their attention on Xu Xiaoshou who was lifted up and had nowhere to hide.
"hehe."
Xu Xiaoshou responded with the most sincere smile, but found that his facial muscles were a little stiff, and he immediately smiled and said: "Don't panic, it's a small mistake, haha."
"It's just a furnace explosion, a necessary skill for every alchemist, right?"
He turned back and looked at Shiti again, "Really?"
The teacher was trembling with anger and coldness.
He pointed his finger at Xu Xiaoshou, bared his teeth and was speechless, unable to say a word.
"You call this thing a blast furnace?"
Among the crowd below, someone finally couldn't wait to speak for President Shiti.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced over: "Otherwise, I didn't mean it. Besides, before I started the furnace, I asked you if you really want to be so close? You also said it's okay!"
He looked towards the vigil.
At this time, Vigil had already received all the damage alone.
His hand supporting the realm was gray, and even if he took it back, it was still trembling slightly.
Of course it wasn't bombed.
To be honest, if it weren't for the crowd here, this explosion would be nothing to the vigil.
His body was shaking just because he felt like he was being cheated.
At this moment, it was all understood as to why Shiti opened the realm in advance and stayed vigilant the whole time to prevent Xu Xiao from being blown up.
This guy's fryer is completely different in nature from other people's fryers!
Xu Xiaoshou looked at him, and before he spoke, he imitated his tone and said: "What you said is not a big problem. Only with your protection can I dare to use all my firepower."
"Hmm?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows and wanted to get a friend on board.
The corner of Shouye's lips twitched, and the veins on his neck popped out.
This is exactly what Xu Xiaoshou said before he opened the furnace.
But when I hear it now, it sounds like it has a strong sense of ridicule.
Do you want to save face, or do you want to retaliate against Xu Xiaoshou and take it out on him?
"Yes, it's not a big problem..."
Watching the night spread out his hands and looked around, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces after the disaster, and then his eyes fell on Xu Xiaoshou's face that made people want to punch him.
"It's not a big problem!"
"Damn it, I'm going to destroy you today!"
Watching the night rushed forward with a fierce face and fists raised.
Xu Xiaoshou:???
He was immediately frightened.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yi, who was always silent and could only nod, would have such a simple reason to take action, and such a temper...
Yes, this is a guy who came from a white cave. How can there be any rules in human society?
"Fu Xing, save me!"
Xu Xiaoshou roared miserably.
His waist and abdomen bowed, and it popped out of the teacher's handle. Then he dwarfed and moved toward his waist in the direction from which Vigil came.
"This speed..."
Shouye, who was unable to react for a moment, knew that he had not only underestimated Xu Xiaoshou's explosive power, but also seriously underestimated the boy's reaction and body speed.
He didn't have to use much force with this punch, he just wanted to punch Xu Xiaoshou in the face to vent his anger on the big guy.
After all, in this situation, if Xu Xiaoshou wants to escape unscathed, he obviously needs a step up.
Shiti was also confused.
He also wanted to catch Xu Xiaoshou, but this guy was like a hedgehog. He bowed his body in that moment and had a counterattack force that he could not resist. Even if he was prepared, he was still able to escape temporarily.
"Pay the line..."
"Xiao Fu, where are you!"
Xu Xiaoshou was panicked. There were all enemies here, and only Fu Xing could rely on him.
Um?
etc!
Why didn't Fu Xing reply?
His steps suddenly stopped.
At this time, everyone realized something was wrong.
With such a big thing happening, how could the deputy city lord still not come out to take charge of the overall situation?
Everyone thought for a moment.
On the eve of the explosion, the thrones closest to Xu Xiaoshou did not seem to be all thrones such as Shiti and Vigil.
Pay the bank.
As a host.
It seems that he...has no choice but to stay on the high platform?
"Little Deputy City Lord..."
As everyone fell silent, the slightly audible cry of a guard in white finally came from the ruins outside the banquet hall.
"Wake up, little deputy city lord..."
"You can't sleep..."
…
…
The banquet room is unusable.
However, everyone did not stick to trivial matters. After gathering a few old master-level spiritual refiners of the earth element, everyone worked together to flatten the ruins, and then used stone tables to restore the banquet to a somewhat presentable state.
No one complained about the City Lord's Mansion.
It was as if after being brutally tortured by the same persecutor at the same time, everyone had a very united force and looked at their own masterpiece with a bit of pride.
As for Xu Xiaoshou...
Xu Xiaoshou was sitting on a raised stone pier with a bag on his head.
Beside him was a girl with a gray skirt.
Mu Zixi can be said to be the least embarrassed person in the scene at this moment.
Compared with other people's dirty faces, her little face is probably the cleanest.
After all, it's better to protect in advance.
"You are no longer qualified for the alchemy competition." She said teasingly.
"I know."
"Then Hongyi and Chairman Shiti should be merciful, right?" The little girl had an unstoppable smile on her face.
"Yes."
"But if it were Master...well, I don't think I saw Master taking action against you?" Mu Zixi was suddenly startled.
Seeing Xu Xiaoshou deflated made her happy.
But then I suddenly thought about it, and it seemed that even if Xu Xiaoshou did some indescribably horrific thing in Tiansang Ling Palace, he really had not been punished.
"Don't mention it. That old guy has dozens more levels than you think. I'd rather he beat me up."
Xu Xiaoshou covered his face, not letting most people see that he had recovered from his injuries.
Mr. Sang is different from these guys.
It's hard to say, but he actually seems to be very good.
I said it was very good, but I felt like I couldn't say it out loud, something seemed strange.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that if he really admitted it, Juebi would be the kind of person who would help count the money after being sold to someone else, and still miss him in the end.
At least so far, he could only feel that Sang Lao's big game was not over yet.
But judging from the current progress, you can't even see the bullshit.
"Brother Xiaoshou, are you okay?"
Su Qianqian quietly touched it from the main table.
After Xu Xiaoshou left, she no longer wanted to be alone at that table.
Surrounded by old men, it is difficult to stay here. Young people should still play with young people.
Anyway, now that everyone's face has been lost, naturally no one will stand up and say that they have acted inappropriately.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Xiaoshou put down his hand and glanced at the host table: "It's OK, how's it going?"
"He's still there."
Su Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled softly.
It can be said that Fu Xing was the worst in the whole show.
The explosion sent it away immediately, and no one found it yet.
When he was finally awakened by the white-clothed guard, he screamed this.
It was only after the teacher brought him over that he discovered that this kid was still contaminated with "Jinzhao Tianyan"...
Well, I can't die.
With Shi Ti present, there were many injured and dead, but not one of them died.
"Are you Brother Xiaoshou's junior sister?"
Su Qianqian turned back and looked at Mu Zixi.
This was the first time she had seen a girl of about the same height, age, and comparable strength inside the Spiritual Palace.
"Junior sister?"
Hearing this title, Mu Zixi was startled. He knew the agreement between Xu Xiaoshou and Sang Lao, and was about to shake his head.
"I got it."
Su Qian smiled slightly and said: "I have already asked my master. Although he didn't say anything, people with a discerning eye can already see it. I really don't know what to hide."
Mu Zixi was startled.
In fact, this is also her question.
As long as Xu Xiaoshou's "Jinzhao Tianyan" appears, as long as someone is willing to investigate, he will definitely be able to match Mr. Sang.
She didn't know why her master was so covert.
"good."
Xu Xiaoshou admitted it very generously.
As for the "Three Chapters of the Agreement", at first he thought it was to protect himself, but later he realized that it was completely unnecessary. What he wanted to know could be easily found out in the end.
But now, after getting to know Old Man Sang a little bit, he felt relieved.
This old guy definitely has some hidden secrets.
The existence of the "Three Chapters of the Agreement" defined the fact that from the perspective of outsiders, there would always be a gap between himself and Mr. Sang.
No matter how much you believe it, as long as the two of you don't admit it, then it means you don't have it.
In the adult world, sometimes, you really need to follow specific rules, or evidence.
No matter how obvious the reasoning is, it will not become evidence without concrete evidence.
Mr. Sang is indeed protecting himself.
But he is also hiding something.
His "Three Chapters of Agreement" are not aimed at people inside the Spiritual Palace.
Maybe, it's against the enemy far away?
"Mu Zixi."
"Su Qianqian."
The two little girls over there seemed to have made friends happily.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't pay too much attention to it.
He turned his attention to the newly paved hard soil floor.
Even if the time bomb Xu Xiaoshou is lost at this moment, no one would dare to open the protective shield to make elixirs.
God knows how frightened and horrified the three sixth-grade men were because they had refined elixirs beside Xu Xiaoshou at that time.
As a result, everyone in the audience was healing themselves while quietly waiting for the alchemist's final result.
Of course, this kind of silence is only apparent.
As soon as Xu Xiaoshou closed his eyes, he could clearly feel the terrifying power of the curse contained in this seemingly calm banquet room.
"Cursed, passive value, +1212."
"Being remembered, passive value, +1240."
"Being cursed, passive value, +1123."
"..."
The alchemy crisis was interrupted midway, and all the alchemists were emotionally unstable.
When the final results came out and the protective shield came down, the place was filled with the aroma of medicine.
But the burnt smell mixed with it is also very obvious.
Obviously, these old men have never tried to make elixirs in such a state of mind.
Blow up the furnace, that's for sure.
But there are still many people with a strong mentality who support Chengdan.
Although the quality is not good, compared with other alchemists, it is already a good result.
The final championship was won by Long Dan.
This old guy no longer took out the previous "Great Qing Ling Ming Pill", but instead chose a seventh-grade pill.
As for Chen Qi and Li Mingji, who still insisted on the "Grandmaster Pill" and "Jidao Pill", there was no doubt that they all failed.
A sixth-grade alchemist is certainly not an ordinary person.
But my mood was unstable and I was at level 6. I tried hard to hold on, but as expected I still couldn't make the elixir that matched my level.
After all, there is only one big heart, Xu Xiaoshou.
Long Dan, who won the championship through a trick, didn't look very proud, or he couldn't tell if he was proud.
After all, they all look the same, except they have a gray head and a gray face.
In short, after losing Xu Xiaoshou, the atmosphere of alchemy that should have been pleasant has become very strange because of his remaining soul.
Previous years' Cheng Dan auction was directly cancelled.
reason?
The host is still lying on the ground!
Fu Yinhong took over the gang. She looked at the sky, as if she was expecting something, but until the end, the person she was looking forward to still didn't show up.
"The alchemy competition is over."
"The trial of the spiritual formation does not start now."
Fu Yinhong said and looked at Vigil: "Senior, please announce the rules!"
Watching the night stood up and glanced at the somewhat quiet atmosphere that had returned.
"The competition of the Spiritual Formation is very simple."
"As we all know, the rules of different dimensions determine the terrain within it and the creation of special secret realms."
"I will give you a spiritual formation diagram. This diagram is a rubbing from the rules of a different dimension."
"Whoever can solve it... Well, it should be said that in the end, the allocation of the remaining spots in the White Cave will be decided based on your progress in solving it."
"The more you unlock, the more places you will get."
"certainly……"
Having said this, Shouye smiled like an old fox: "If no one can solve it in the end, the remaining spots will be given to the person who can solve the spiritual formation diagram."
"It doesn't matter whether this person is here or not!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Originally, they were very happy to be able to access the spiritual formation map of the White Cave terrain in advance as the vigilante said earlier.
After all, even if I can’t solve it, I should still be able to remember some of it!
What can be taken out by Vigil, combined with his previous words of inviting spiritual formation masters from all over the world.
This spiritual formation map must be an extremely important topographic map in the White Cave, and it may be the central area.
But……
"Listen to what the red-clothed senior said, will this spiritual formation map spread out by then? Can those who haven't come yet also see it?"
Everyone panicked.
This is not a good thing.
If more people know about it, then doesn’t the information you know in advance lose all meaning?
Watching the guys thinking in groups in small groups, Vigil thought it was funny in his heart.
If it is really so easy to solve it for unprepared people like you here, why would I need to say the words I said before when I was vigilant to invite all the spiritual formation masters in the world?
Even the red-clad organization cannot fully understand the map. Even those here, even if they have spiritual formation masters, cannot even touch the door!
However, if you want to give your hope, you can't say it directly.
"Now, the competition begins."
Vigil took out rows of jade slips.
"Anyone who is interested and wants to give it a try can come here."
"Remember, only spiritual formation masters can take it. I don't have many jade slips."
Everyone's steps stagnated, as a large number of people were about to rush up to memorize the spiritual formation diagram.
But his last words made everyone sit back in their seats.
As a result, in the end, there were only about twenty family forces who had just brought the spiritual masters over, and they stepped forward with great expectations.
"Damn it, I missed the first opportunity. I don't know how much I will have to pay if I want to get this spiritual diagram later."
"Yeah, it's a shame. If I had known there was a spirit formation competition, I should have invited my old man out of the mountain!"
"This wave of direct losses of 100 million... huh?"
Everyone was talking among themselves, but suddenly their voices stopped, as abruptly as if they were being silenced by a saint.
Watching the night raised his head in astonishment, and suddenly saw everyone's eyes converging in one direction.
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
His face turned dark instantly, "Why are you standing up?"
"hehe."
Xu Xiaoshou was already keeping vigil at this moment.
As for the three punches this guy had punched him in the face, the kick in the stomach, and the slap on the back of the butt...
He even remembers the strength clearly.
"Why, you look down on people?"
Xu Xiaoshou held his head high, walked like a dragon and a tiger, and shouted loudly:
