Chapter 917

"You stay in your own place, don't wander around, and don't talk about anything, everything will be decided after I come back." As soon as he returned to the other garden, Chen Yang immediately told everyone in Qingyang City.

After he finished speaking, no one could answer, so he turned around and walked outside quickly.

Seeing this, the rest of the people looked at each other a few times before returning to their temporary residences without saying a word.

Han Li returned to his room, a moment of thought flashed across his face.

I don't know what exactly happened, but Ejiu directly ordered the suspension of the Wucheng martial arts competition. Could it be that it was a coincidence that the puppet city launched an attack at this time?

He originally wanted to get some information from Gu Qianxun, but considering that the other party was probably at a loss, he decided to give up.

In fact, he is not interested in the dispute between Xuancheng and Puppet City at all, but this has messed up his plan.

If the martial arts competition cannot be carried out smoothly, it will be impossible for him to obtain the Tianlin Meteorite Crystal, and if he does not solve the hidden danger of the Black Robber, even if there is a way to get out of this secret realm, it will be a troublesome thing to go out.

Han Li pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head and stopped making unnecessary guesses.

Now that we've reached this point, let's wait and see what happens.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

Martial law was imposed everywhere in the city, and groups of black armored soldiers guarded the main roads.

The ground near the gate of Xuancheng rumbled, and entrances to underground passages appeared one after another. Teams of black-armored soldiers emerged from the inside, climbing up the city wall, and soon filled the city wall.

There was also a "click" and "click" sound on the city wall. The stones on the city wall moved towards the two sides like living things, and a dark stone tower rose every hundred feet.

On top of the stone tower was installed a huge crossbow with an astonishing size, and there were huge crossbow bolts on it.

Most of these crossbow bolts are silvery white, with a cold light flashing, and they look extremely sharp.

There are also a small number of crossbow bolts that are fiery red, with white lines engraved on them, exuding bursts of bursting breath, obviously a special kind of crossbow bolts.

In addition to these arrow towers, there are many trebuchets, mechanism weapons, and even many puppets on the city wall.

And on the Chongxuan Mountain Range close to Xuancheng, some figures and some giant mechanism weapons appeared faintly.

All eyes looked towards the distance, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

...

Han Li sat quietly in the room for about half a day, when an attendant from Qingyang City suddenly came and invited him to gather at Chenyang's residence.

Without any hesitation, he immediately set off and came to the living room. At this time, there were already seven or eight people in the hall, including Gu Qianxun, Yi Liya, Xuanyuanxing and others.

Seeing Han Li approaching, Gu Qianxun nodded to him as a greeting.

Han Li walked over and sat down beside him.

"Martial law has been imposed everywhere in the city, it seems that the situation is not good." Gu Qianxun said slowly.

Han Li frowned upon hearing this, but did not speak.

"I know what Fellow Daoist Li is worried about. If Wucheng Wudang is really cancelled, I will also find a way to help you get the Tianlin Meteor Crystal." Gu Qianxun said through voice transmission.

"You don't get paid for nothing, why did you help me?" Han Li asked with a flicker of eyes.

"I naturally have my reasons for helping you. To put it simply, you are still valuable." Gu Qianxun said lightly.

"Then I can rest assured." Han Li said with a smile.

While the two were talking, all the people in Qingyang City came here, and Chen Yang's figure also came out from the inner room.

"I called everyone here for no other reason than the commotion outside. I have already asked why. Within ten thousand miles to the north of Xuancheng, I found a large number of people from the puppet city." Chen Yang said with a solemn expression.

Although everyone vaguely guessed something, but when they really heard this, they had different expressions on their faces.

Some people showed fear, while others had hatred in their eyes.

When Han Li heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

Since no trace of Ziling was found within Xuancheng, he had planned to go to Puppet City whenever he had the chance, but he didn't expect that the other party came to the door first.

"City Master, how many people are there in the puppet city? Could it be that a few people from the puppet city came here by mistake because of some things?" someone said.

"The exact number of people is not yet clear, but the owner of the city, the city owner, has already found out, and the owner of the puppet city, Sha Xin, is also among them. Xuancheng has issued a warning, but the other party ignored it at all, and is still coming towards Xuancheng. The visitors are not good Nah." Chen Yang shook his head and said.

"Our Xuancheng and Puppet City, are we going to fight again?" Gu Qianxun asked with a frown.

"Sha Xin, the lord of the puppet city, went out in person, and there was no warning beforehand. This is not a good omen." Chen Yang said slowly.

The room suddenly became silent, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Yang, but no one spoke, it could be said that it was a needle drop.

"You don't have to worry, now all the elites from our Xuancheng and the four affiliated cities are gathered here, and the location is favorable, so those in the puppet city will never take advantage of it." Chen Yang seemed to feel the dull atmosphere, and the conversation started Turn around and say.

Hearing this, everyone was slightly shocked.

"During this period, you should prepare as much as possible. If the war really starts, we will definitely take action." Chen Yang glanced at the crowd and said slowly.

Although everyone was worried, they were not timid and agreed in unison.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then announced some regulations issued by the city.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you think the reason for the sudden appearance of the Puppet City's lord this time is to storm Xuancheng? Isn't there another purpose?" Han Li asked Gu Qianxun via sound transmission.

"I can't tell. Xuancheng and Puppet City are at peace from time to time, but most of the time they are hostile to each other, and small-scale disputes continue. After so many years of fighting each other, the two sides have already formed a deep hatred, so every time two forces are involved. Large-scale confrontations are extremely fierce." Gu Qianxun replied through voice transmission.

"Presumably when the relationship eased, it was because of some external reasons?" Han Li asked.

"That is to say, when facing natural disasters or large-scale scale beast attacks, we will temporarily join hands. If I remember correctly, the last large-scale battle was 30,000 years ago. The main battlefield at that time was In Baiyan City, the two sides fought fiercely for nearly a hundred years. Most of the entire Baiyan City was destroyed, and the casualties on both sides were countless. At that time, the Lord of Baiyan City was not Sun Tu, but another person. Unfortunately, this person died in that battle. Sun Tu This is how Tu took the opportunity to become the Lord of Baiyan City." Gu Qianxun said.

"I didn't expect that the conflicts and disputes among the survivors in this desolate secret place that was almost forgotten by the outside world are still so fierce." Han Li shook his head.

"All battles are for the scarce resources. In fact, whether it is Xuancheng or Puppet City, the ultimate goal is to get out of this dark and secret place." Gu Qianxun glanced at Han Li, seemingly Said deeply.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago, but the people who have this idea should be more of the upper class here?" Han Li nodded and said.

"Who knows... If there is a real war, don't be careless. Individual strength is really insignificant in a large-scale confrontation." Gu Qianxun warned.

"City Master, although the people from Puppet City appeared outside the city, there is no guarantee that their target will not be Qingyang City. We are all in Xuancheng at the moment. If Feiou is doing something to send the main force to attack Qingyang City, it will be difficult to defend against the strength of the city. Let's stay." After Chen Yang finished announcing, Yi Liya said.

"I don't know about this, but even if we try our best to return to Qingyang City, it will definitely be too late. We can only pray that the goal of the puppet city is not there." Chen Yang said with a sigh.

Chen Yang warned everyone about some precautions at the moment, and then sent everyone away.

The other three cities in Bieyuan also received the news that the puppet city was approaching at this moment, and they hurriedly assembled their combat forces and waited for it.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of trumpets echoed with the sound of Tianwei's war drums.

The originally bustling street has become empty now, even a few pedestrians are hurrying, their faces are full of panic, and all the shops on both sides are closed.

From time to time, on the main road in the city, groups of soldiers in armor, or a few beast carts sped past, rushing towards various parts of Xuancheng, and the air was filled with the tense atmosphere of an approaching storm.

On the wall of Xuancheng's main gate, countless black armored soldiers were busy in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a group of people boarded the city wall, and the soldiers in front hurried out of the way.

The leader was Eji, and there were seven or eight people by his side, including Tong Song who led Han Li and the others into the city that day, and the man with the eagle nose.

E Jia stared at the distant sky, silent, and the people nearby did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, Ekuai's eyebrows sank.

I saw a gray line appearing on the far horizon, accompanied by a thunderous booming sound, rolling in.

The black-armored soldiers on the city wall soon saw the situation in the distance, and there was a sudden commotion, and everyone clenched their weapons tightly.

With a blank expression on his face, he raised his arm and waved forward.

The gate of Xuancheng opened with a bang, and countless soldiers in black armor poured out from it. Most of the soldiers came out on foot, and about 30% of them rode various scaled beasts, forming several square formations in the open space outside Xuancheng.

There was a shriek from the Chongxuan Mountain Range near Xuancheng, and then one by one flying scaled beasts flew down from the mountain, most of them were vulture scaled beasts, carrying some black-armored soldiers on their backs, densely packed almost occupying the entire area. It filled half of the sky, and faintly also formed a formation, ready to fight.

The gray line in the distance has become much larger at this moment, but it is a gray cloud like a sandstorm. In the gray cloud, an army composed of countless puppets can be vaguely seen.

The puppet army seemed to have also sensed the situation outside Xuancheng, and stopped about a thousand miles away from Xuancheng, and stopped moving forward.

When the soldiers in Xuancheng saw the army of the puppet city, their hearts were full of fighting spirit. They looked at Ekuai one after another, waiting for him to give the order to fight, and then rushed out immediately.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

The puppet city's army just stayed in the distance quietly and did not continue to invade. This other's brows could not help but wrinkled, and he did not issue an order to fight.

The two sides were so deadlocked in place.
