Too many changes occurred that year, and the top leaders of the Ye Lin Empire tried their best to keep many things strictly confidential.
For example, when the Ye Lin Empire took advantage of the disappearance of King Zhentian in the Tianping Mountains, it did not attack the Tianping Mountains first. Instead, it attacked the Icefield clan who were closely related to the Tianping Mountains.
From this, it is not difficult to see how ambitious the high-level leaders of the Ye Lin Empire were at that time. Not only did the Monster Clan lose its strongest leader, Zhentian, but they also did not intend to let go of the other Ice Plains Clan.
The Yelin Empire has actually coveted the Monster Clan and the Icefield Clan for a long time, but it has never had the opportunity to take action. In the eyes of the Yelin Empire, both the Monster Clan and the Icefield Clan are huge treasures.
Needless to say, the Tianping Mountains itself is a precious resource that is difficult to estimate, and the elixirs and ores in the Tianping Mountains are countless. If it can be occupied by the Ye Lin Empire, it will be an inexhaustible resource.
A huge inexhaustible treasure trove.
In addition, most people do not know that the Ice Plains Clan has an ancient inheritance, which is even better than that of the Monster Clan. Especially the birthplace of the Icefield Clan, on the "Ultra North Icefield",
There are also treasures that are not inferior to those in the Tianping Mountains.
It's just that in the research of the Ye Lin Empire in the early years, it was discovered that the Ice Plains tribe has a method similar to innate skills, which can use the blood of monster beasts to activate the method of imitating beasts.
The Yelin Empire secretly captured the Icefield tribesmen and monsters, and after repeated attempts, they discovered that this method could be used. However, in order to truly use this method, all aspects of the requirements must be met.
Demand, especially if it cannot be scaled up, cannot become a considerable combat force.
So when Zhentian disappeared, the Ye Lin Empire couldn't wait to attack the Icefield clan. Because it had planned it for a long time and used all its strength, it successfully captured a large number of Icefield clan members, including even members of the Icefield clan.
The old patriarch.
Those captured Icefield tribesmen were refined into armor worn by the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion, thus giving the Yelin Empire a powerful army with terrifying combat effectiveness.
As for the captured leader of the Ice Tribe, Blizzard, because he knew about his tribe's treasure in the far north ice field, he was not refined into a more powerful armor. Instead, he was kept under constant torture and torture to find out where the Ice Tribe's treasure was and how to unlock it.
The way to treasure.
Not to mention people like Lin Hu, even Wu Tian didn't know anything about these things. The Ye Lin Empire is qualified to know these secrets, and the lowest level is only at the level of the four great priests and the two great soul priests. The existence of the lower level has no clue.
Unaware.
Now Zheng Lu was really panicking, but he was still trying to comfort himself while he was moving forward quickly. The other party entered the sacrificial branch hall, just to search, and at most they would take away the earth branch.
'Over the years, the energy of the earth's branch veins has long been integrated into that hill. Even if they can find it, there won't be much energy left, so just take it. As long as that old guy Blizzard stays with him
Where it should be, nothing big will happen.'
With this thought in his mind, Zheng Lu's expression became more solemn, because he was really uneasy. Thinking about the tragic battle to capture Blizzard, waves of pain came from his forehead.
At this time, the morning sun was rising, and when Zheng Lu was still far away, he could already see the scene of the sacrificial branch hall, especially the withered and yellow hill.
When I left the Acropolis a few days ago to start hunting in late winter, the place was still a lush scene. But now that I returned again, the place had completely changed. The entire hill looked lifeless.
When he saw this scene, Zheng Lu's cheeks twitched uncontrollably. He didn't expect that the other party did it so thoroughly. He didn't take away the earth branch at all, but directly integrated the earth branch into the entire hill.
All the energy is drained away.
The sacrificial branch of the Acropolis is valued by the empire precisely because it has strong earth branches. As long as warriors are qualified to enter and practice there, not only will they have breakthroughs in a short time, but their own qualifications will also be improved.
.
Generally speaking, after being granted the title of Little Pavilion Master, you are eligible to practice in the secret room in the belly of the mountain for ten days every year. When you reach the position of Pavilion Master, you are eligible to practice in the secret room of the mountain for half a month every year.
But now, there is no difference between this hill and the outside world. Even the aura inside the hill is thinner than that of the outside world.
Seeing how thoroughly the other party did it, Zheng Lu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. It was like he had a pot of broth, and the other party not only ate the meat, but also drank the soup, and finally took the pot away with nothing.
Stay. Don't talk about Zheng Lu's temperament and his status. He has never suffered such a big loss.
However, after seeing the situation in the hill, Zheng Lu tried hard to comfort himself. He was telling himself, 'This is a good thing, this is a good thing. Since the other party values the earth branch, it is obvious that he will not pay attention to other things.
, let alone ignore the dying old guy.'
With this thought in mind, the flames on Zheng Lu's body burst out again, increasing his speed again, as if a meteor was passing by quickly.
"boom"
The location that Zheng Lu arrived at was very accurate, it was the northwest part of the mansion on the hillside. He arrived quickly without slowing down, and directly smashed a large hole three feet deep into the ground.
But even if he falls steadily, it won't make the mansion much stronger. Zuo Feng and others fought several large mimic beasts here before, and the mansion had long been reduced to ruins.
After Zheng Lu arrived, he immediately saw the half-collapsed training room door. Especially the passage that was almost obscured by rubble.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the big rocks blocking the passage instantly turned into a large piece of debris. Zheng Lu turned into a stream of light again and rushed into the underground passage. After almost a breath, Zheng Lu appeared in
into the water prison underground.
When Zheng Lu came to the water prison, he saw at a glance the innermost pools and the empty chains. The old man who was dying there had already disappeared without a trace, and Zheng Lu stared at those
The pool was full of sewage, and his eyes instantly lost focus.
He couldn't believe it, nor could he believe what he saw in front of him. Although he had thought of the worst possibility before coming, when he saw with his own eyes that Blizzard had left the water prison, he was still stunned on the spot.
After a long while, Zheng Lu's pupils refocused, and his face suddenly turned pale. He suddenly let out a loud roar of "ah" and blood spurted out from his mouth.
The thing he least wanted to see happened in the end. Zheng Lu gasped violently, and the spiritual energy on the surface of his body gradually began to condense, turning into balls of flames, wrapping his entire body in it.
His knees slowly bent. When his knees straightened, a deep pit appeared under his feet, and Zheng Lu rose straight into the sky. He hit the mountain wall above his head and blasted away a
Huge gap.
After flying at full speed, Lin Hu, Zeng Jiang, Bo Ka and others finally arrived at this time. At this time, they had just arrived at the outskirts of the sacrificial branch hall. They saw the hill in front of them and exploded directly into the heart of the mountain. Flames exploded.
At the same time as it exploded, rocks of different sizes also splashed out one after another.
The figure wrapped in flames soared into the sky, rushing high into the sky like fireworks, and just when it was about to hit the topmost formation barrier, it slowly stopped.
Everyone looked up with puzzled faces. In this acropolis, the higher you are in the sky, the more powerful the force of trapping is. With the strength of Lin Hu and others, they can only reach three to four people on the ground at most.
Flying at an altitude of ten feet.
The figure releasing flames in front of him was currently at a height of nearly thirty feet. Even with Boka's strength, at that height, he would probably be crushed into pieces by the force of the air trap.
The figure high in the sky was naturally Zheng Lu. He seemed to deliberately use the huge force of trapping to calm himself down. After a moment, Zheng Lu took a deep breath and then slowly fell from the sky.
"Among the other group of people, is there an old man who uses the power of extreme cold?"
Zheng Lu looked at the people in front of him and asked coldly. The calmness he had before was long gone, replaced by an irritability that was difficult to conceal.
This time Boka spoke without hesitation and said: "There is indeed such an old man among the opponents. I have directly fought with him. No one knows the origin of this old man. He seems to appear suddenly. His strength is roughly
At the early to mid-stage Qi cultivation level, however, he has some weird methods that allow him to have the combat power of the concentration stage in a short period of time."
Zheng Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought silently in his heart, 'Fortunately, with the strength from the early to middle stages of cultivating qi, there is still room for recovery even in the concentration stage. This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes!'
Seeing the change in Zheng Lu's expression, Boka added again: "The old man used a long spear. Although it didn't look very handy, the martial arts he used was also very sharp. Even I found it difficult to parry."
After hearing what Bo Ka said, Zheng Lu no longer had any doubts and immediately said: "Block the inner city and the outer city tightly immediately!"
Zeng Jiang on the side reminded: "High Priest, we have blocked it."
"It's not enough. What I'm talking about is a tight seal. Not even a fly can be let out. Send more manpower to ensure nothing goes wrong." Zheng Lu said immediately.
Hearing this, Zeng Jiang said with some embarrassment: "Now that everyone has been mobilized, if more manpower is sent to blockade, there will be a serious shortage of manpower to search in the city."
Zheng Lu turned his head fiercely, and his gaze was so frightening that Zeng Jiang subconsciously stepped back. He only heard Zheng Lu say: "Gather all the available forces and let your people from Benxiao Pavilion lead the action. I don't care how much I pay.
As for the price, as long as I can capture that old man, I am willing to pay any price, even this Acropolis!"
When Zheng Lu said these words, everyone present was stunned for a moment. At the cost of an acropolis, he just wanted to capture such an old man.
