The central location of Kuocheng is also the most important core of the entire Kuocheng. It is also the location of Kuocheng's city defense formation.
Although it is the actual center, it is not very prosperous, and there are almost no big shops and restaurants around here.
The reason why such a pattern was formed was mainly due to the actions of the original lord of Kuocheng City, Guo Tong. The original Guo Tong was not only the lord of Kuocheng City in name, but also the actual helmsman of Kuocheng with the support of Xuan Hong.
However, Xuanhong at that time was still unable to defeat the super aristocratic family, so even though Guo Tong was powerful in Kuocheng, he still did not have the ability to dominate the family.
Guo Tong wanted to occupy the center of the entire Kuocheng alone, but he was unable to directly suppress the four families of Suwang Guihua. However, the four major families at that time were also in constant fights and internal strife, and they were also unable to suppress Guo Tong.
The two sides gradually entered a special stalemate stage. It was this stalemate that led to an extremely strange depression in the central area of Kuocheng.
There are no large shops or restaurants around the core area of the City Lord's Mansion and the city protection formation. The only small shops are also very rundown, because they have nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Tong, nor the super aristocratic family.
This special depression has naturally become more obvious today. Guo Tong naturally does not dare to expand at this time, and he can't wait to shrink all industries and territories inward.
Although the four major families have intentions, they do not have the power. The Suwang and Guihua families are facing each other, and no one will touch their direct interests at will at this time. The checks and balances between the two parties have kept this situation of checks and balances.
It has been maintained until now.
Before adjusting the formation, four heavyweights gathered here. After the formation was adjusted, they left separately. They did not stay here longer, and no family specifically stayed to monitor and defend this place.
Because the leaders of the four families all know that the core of the city defense formation is even safer than the city wall. The outermost layer of the formation outside the city wall is for warning, followed by defense and attack, and the formation at the core is
, but it has an attack effect as soon as it comes up, and even a strong person in the early stage of god refining has no ability to forcefully break into the formation.
Since the formation itself has strong defensive capabilities, there is no need to send additional people to guard it. Now that the four families are wary of each other, of course no one will do too much. Leaving people outside the formation area will only cause trouble.
Hostility from other families.
City Lord Guo Tong doesn't have this kind of leisure. Now he just hopes to firmly grasp the power gathered under his hands, and he has no time to care about the situation of the formation.
Now, outside the formation stone forest, we are in a special area that is extremely quiet, even a place that has been forgotten by the entire city.
Very suddenly, a gust of breeze blew past, sweeping away the dust outside the stone forest and rushing towards the formation.
The wind blew so suddenly that no one even noticed where the wind was blowing from, but it faintly released some powerful force during the blowing process.
When the strong wind was about to approach the formation, a faint transparent shield suddenly appeared. The shield was very blurry. If the light hadn't been sufficient at the moment, no one would have noticed this subtle change.
The moment the strong wind hit the shield, the sand and dust blown up by the wind were violently bounced away by the shield and scattered around. No matter how the subsequent wind blew, it could no longer blow those that hit the shield.
Dust is brought up.
The sand and dust were blocked, and the wind was also blocked, but the wind showed no intention of stopping and continued to hit the shield with strong force.
The wind is invisible and formless, and can only be felt when one is inside it. However, bystanders can only tell from the subtle sounds and the slight distortion of the shield that the strong wind is blowing outside the shield.
"Miscellaneous, miso miso miso..."
The sound began to gradually get louder, and the distortion and deformation on the transparent shield became more and more serious. At the same time, the strange sound transmitted from the shield became louder and louder. The sound seemed to be coming from the shield after being put under pressure, and then
It seemed to be coming from the violent friction between the wind and the shield.
Faintly, you can see the "frail" silk threads wrapped in the wind. If you look closely, you will see that the silk threads are condensed by runes.
Those silk threads were previously mixed with the dust and fine sand on the ground and were very inconspicuous. It was not until the transparent shield and the wind squeezed each other that the subtle changes became very noticeable.
The collision and squeezing of the two did not produce much change, and naturally there was not much noise or fluctuation. Those threads and wind were more like a force trying to "penetrate" inward, but it was just a transparent shield.
Be on guard and guard to the death, leaving no chance.
This situation lasted for a while. It seemed that due to the increasing pressure on the transparent shield, the surface of the shield gradually lit up with brilliance. The brilliance was made up of tiny runes connected together. These brilliance
Once it lights up, it will quickly spread to the inside.
As soon as this change appeared, the wind blowing immediately changed. The power contained in the wind seemed to suddenly disperse, and then the wind no longer concentrated in one place, but moved smoothly.
Spreading around with the transparent shield.
The wind lost the power to penetrate the oppression, and the light on the shield gradually dissipated, turning into its original transparency, and then slowly disappeared, as if there was no shield at all.
"puff"
At the base of the wall about five feet away from the square, a hunched figure trembled violently, and blood shot out from its throat like a bloody arrow.
The blood at the front of the blood arrow was dark red, and clotted plasma could be faintly seen in the blood. This blood had obviously been present in the body for some time.
But the blood that spurted out immediately afterwards was bright red, as if it had just flowed out after a wound in the body was damaged.
I don't know whether it was the weakness after the blood spurt or the irritation of the body by the previous behavior. After the old man shot the bleeding arrow, he immediately coughed violently. Dots of blood scattered around as he coughed.
Then the old man's body became even more stooped, and it seemed that his thin body would never have a chance to straighten up. However, there was a trace of resentment and unwillingness on the old man's old face, and he did not seem to be affected by the injuries in his body.
.
But when the old man's sharp gaze finally landed on the shield that had just appeared not far away, he still couldn't hide the sadness that flashed across his eyes.
"These damn juniors, in such a short time, not only completely repaired the core part of the city defense formation, but even the outer formation to protect the core has been greatly strengthened, and it is even more incomparable with the city defense formation within it.
Formations are linked to each other.
Now, even if I don't take action, even if I am in the late stage of Ning Nian, or even if the peak power comes, I can't completely break through this city protection formation. It seems that I can no longer use this city protection formation no matter what."
The hunched old man reluctantly raised his head, looked resentfully at the location where the shield had been exposed, and said in a sinister and cold voice.
The old man is Yin Yue, who is known as "Master Yue Shi". Of course he came here to try to break the formation again. Once there are cracks and gaps in the formation, the old man Yin Yue will be sure to break through the space and re-open the space.
Sneak into the cracks of space.
If the gap in space can be used, the old man can not only shuttle around the city at will, but also steal and spy on information from everywhere. Of course, he can also silently assassinate specific people anytime and anywhere.
In addition, there is another advantage, that is, regardless of whether Kuocheng is completely closed, he can enter and exit at will.
So many benefits have been completely lost after Kuocheng's defense formation was repaired and reinforced. How could the old man not feel depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
As the spiritual energy moved, subtle fluctuations came out of the crystal storage ring between his fingers, and then a jade bottle appeared in the palm of his hand.
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, a look of pain flashed through the old man's eyes, but in the end he sighed, pulled out the cork, and poured out all the pills in the jade bottle.
After three longan-sized pills fell into the palm of his hand, the old man greedily sniffed the unique medicinal fragrance emanating from them, looking as if he was in a state of ecstasy.
It was just a simple smell of the medicinal fragrance that caused a person of the old man's level of cultivation to show such an expression. One can imagine the quality of this elixir.
They are not the kind of pills that can often be seen on the market. The three pills in the old man's hand at the moment are genuine medicinal pills, pills that only high-level pharmacists can refine. Even at Zuo Feng's current level, there is nothing he can do
Refined.
After watching for a moment, the old man sighed softly and reluctantly put the two pills in his palm back into the jade bottle, leaving only one pill in his palm.
"After so many years in the sect, I have only accumulated three pills. If I take them all this time, I can recover in a short time. But... but in such a vast city, three pills will be wasted. In the future, I will not even have life-saving medicine.
."
The old man carefully put away the jade bottle containing the two pills, then carefully put the pill into his mouth, then sat cross-legged and began to use his kung fu to refine the pills.
The reason why the old man Yin Yue appears here is obviously that this is where he chose to stay. After the city protection formation has been repaired and adjusted, this is the most special place in Kuocheng, a place that has been temporarily ignored or forgotten by all the families.
The old man Yin Yue was slowly running the technique. At this moment, even the most ordinary spiritual energy was flowing through his meridians, which already caused the old man's body to tremble uncontrollably, and his old face became ferocious because of the severe pain.
However, as the elixir continued to be refined, the expression on the old man's face gradually softened, and the tremors in his body gradually became subtle, and finally he slowly returned to calm.
The mental power unique to the strong men in the God Refining Stage slowly spread out, forming a special shield in addition to the spiritual energy. Obviously, the old man now can use his mental power normally, so he can naturally use the spiritual field.
