Chapter 191: Gathering of Heroes (Part 2) (1/2)
In the capital, the atmosphere became heated because of the sudden arrival of the Li people.
Not only people who like the excitement come out to watch, the Li people have a good reputation, and now the Li people's priest personally leads the team. Even the monks who like quiet can't help but leave their homes to see the mysterious Hanhai tribe of the Li people.
On the long street where the sea water surged, the Li people who were dressed in cool clothes and looked like savages all followed the priest Li Po and walked through the long street of the capital of the Merman Kingdom with indifferent expressions.
Facing the curious passers-by on both sides of the street, this group of Li people seemed completely unaware and didn't even look at them. Finally, under the guidance of the steward, the Li people moved into a secluded courtyard.
After the Li people disappeared, the atmosphere in the capital did not cool down, but instead became more lively.
To the Sharman Kingdom, this group of Li people can be regarded as rare guests.
Especially the Hanhai tribe, although they have been wandering on the sea all year round, they are very close to the Sharman Kingdom. However, the Sharman Country's rare treasure conference held every twelve years can attract heroes from all over the world, but it has never been able to attract this group of Li people.
Nowadays, the Li people make an exception to participate in the Fair of Treasures, which is definitely a new thing for people. There are not many people who rush to tell each other and tell their friends about this matter as a fresh topic of conversation.
It's just that the Li people are not easy to mess with, so although people are curious, they don't dare to go to the other party's residence to make trouble. Li Po, the priest of the Hanhai Tribe, is known as a rare genius of the Li people in a hundred thousand years.
He once split the East China Sea with a sword, killed evil spirits and raised the tide of the sea, and his fame shocked the world.
Even though his cultivation has been stagnant for many years due to great changes, he is still the top person. Who dares to lift his beard?
What's more, even if we don't mention Priest Li Po, the people from the Hanhai tribe who came to the city like this are not someone ordinary people can provoke.
Although the nine tribes of the Li tribe have a sparse population and are not involved in worldly affairs, only migrating and wandering in the world, the tribesmen are all born with magical powers.
In the past, the beings who had conflicts with the nine tribes of the Li tribe, whether they were monster heroes or the lords of great powers, ended up with the nine tribes of the Li tribe being safe and sound, while their opponents were destroyed and perished.
Over the long years, the nine tribes of the Li tribe have rarely interfered with the situation of heaven and earth. But its mere existence makes people dare not ignore it.
In the restaurants and restaurants that are still open in the city, there are constant discussions and speculations about the sudden arrival of the Li people. People are all curious about what kind of treasure can attract this group of Li people who have a high regard for exotic treasures.
——After all, the Li people like to forge weapons, and the best weapons in the world often come from the Jiuli tribe.
Therefore, if you can invite people from the Li tribe who have never been involved in the world of spiritual practice, there must be a rare treasure.
In the wine shop, Mrs. Qingzhu was sitting by the window, smiling as she listened to the two young practitioners passing by below discussing the fierce gods of the Hanhai Department, and smiled at King Fufeng who was sitting at the table.
"Even the priest from the Hanhai Tribe came in person. It seems that this time's rare treasure conference will be more lively than in previous years."
The Great Sage Fufeng, who was dressed in a scribe's robe and looked weak and weak, laughed and said, "I heard before that this rare treasure conference will produce a rare treasure that is rare in a thousand years. I originally thought it was just a rumor in the market and never paid attention to it, but now I see it. When I visited Li Po, I found out that this was probably true."
As he said that, the Great Sage Fufeng raised his head and drank half a jar of wine, and said, "I'll go to the post office later to ask. Since Li Po is here, he must have inside information. Let's go and find out, maybe we can still Get the jackpot...hahaha..."
The sight of the seemingly frail scribe raising his head to drink wine made Mrs. Qingzhu's mouth twitch slightly.
She actually wanted to remind this brother she met more than 300 years ago and tell him that since he was acting, he had to do the whole thing. Gentle people don't drink like this.
But thinking about this Biaohu's character, even if he can be reminded to pay attention here, he will show his weakness elsewhere.
Anyway, this tiger has become so famous in the South China Sea, and no one dares to laugh at him...
Smiling slightly, Mrs. Qingzhu said, "Brother Tiger, do you know the priest of Hanhai Department?"
This is something new.
Who is the Li priest? Did he actually know the tiger in front of him? And they seem to have a pretty good relationship...
This little Biaohu who needed her help three hundred years ago did not expect that only three hundred years later, she has truly become outstanding, even faster than her who practiced the magic way...
Mrs. Qingzhu looked at the "weak man" pretending to be elegant in front of her, smiling on her face, but feeling sour in her heart.
The ancient inheritance is indeed extraordinary. In just three hundred years, this tiger has broken into a huge world.
In comparison, she, a devil who couldn't bear the loneliness and practiced magic, was simply a joke. They are both demon cultivators, but their fate is different and their luck is not as good as that of Biaohu. Their situations are completely different. It's really...
Mrs. Qingzhu's mood was complicated, while the frail man smiled.
"Thirty years ago, when the Hanhai tribe was migrating, they bumped into me on the sea. The iron-eating beast that their Hanhai tribe had raised for generations was a giant turtle as huge as an island."
"At that time, I was chasing a rare toad fish at sea. The tong fish has a human face and a fish body, but it has hands and feet. It is very weird. It is said that the fish meat is also extremely delicious."
"I chased it for three days and three nights at the junction of the West China Sea and the South China Sea. I used various methods to pursue and intercept it. I was about to catch the toad fish, but a huge island suddenly appeared in front of me."
"When the tongyu fled to the sea in front of the island, a huge monster head suddenly popped out from the sea, and it swallowed the tongyu that I had chased for three days and three nights in one bite."
"I was so angry at that time! I immediately raised the Minghong Sword to chop down this giant turtle that was snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but I didn't expect that this giant turtle was an iron-eating beast raised by the Hanhai Department for generations. The sword was so powerful that In a moment, Li Po, the priest of the Hanhai Department on the island, was attracted."
"I fought with him on the sea for two hours. In the end, I was knocked into the bottom of the sea by his palm. I was convinced that I lost. But Priest Li Po did not bully me for my low cultivation level. Not only did he help me repair the cracks on the Minghong Sword, but he also He entertained me with good wine and good food, and finally made me a suit of armor. He was very enthusiastic. "
"I stayed on the island for more than two months before saying goodbye and leaving. After that, when I was bored occasionally, I would go to him for a drink. I also helped him find a dozen of the thunder sands he was looking for before."
"Based on my friendship with him, if I went to ask for inside information in person, he would definitely tell me."
The Great Sage Fufeng wiped the grease stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "After we finish this meal, we will go to the Hanhai Department to pay a visit."
Seeing Mrs. Qingzhu's uneasy expression, the Great Sage Fufeng quickly comforted her, "Sister Qing, don't be nervous. Li Po is a good person and has no discrimination against the demon clan. Besides, you have been introduced by your brother, so you don't have to worry about him looking at you differently."
Great Sage Fufeng's comfort made Madam Qingzhu smile awkwardly and could only nod.
But she actually didn’t want to visit the Li people... What kind of person is the Li priest? My ability to hide Qi can be hidden from the unsuspecting tiger in front of me, but I may not be able to hide it from the Li priest...
In order to avoid the mysterious man in white on land, she came to the South China Sea to remain anonymous. She could only feel at ease thanks to the protection of the tiger in front of her.
But Biaohu obviously couldn't defeat the Li priest... If his identity as an evil cultivator was discovered, Biaohu would probably end his relationship with her because of his kindness in saving her life.
But if the Li priest sees through it... it will be dangerous.
She didn't want to escape the mysterious man in white only to fall into the hands of the Li priest.
And while Fufeng Great Sage Hu was eating and drinking, and Mrs. Qingzhu was thinking about how to politely refuse the invitation of her colleagues to visit the Li people later, there was another strange movement outside.
The deserted streets became lively again.
Mrs. Qingzhu's heart moved, and she turned to look out the window, only to see a huge strange beast appearing in the city in the direction of the city gate, carrying a chariot.
Behind the chariot were four columns of black-armored cavalrymen.
The armor of each black-armored knight is covered with traces of time, mottled and ancient. Many of the armors are even riddled with cracks.
The war horses under their crotches are also wearing ancient armor. Between the armor, the blood-red eyes of the war horse can be vaguely seen, as terrifying as a nightmare monster.
Facing these four columns of black-armored cavalry, no one dared to show a sarcastic expression, no matter how tattered their armor was.
Because practitioners in the South China Sea, even if they have never seen it, must have heard of the majesty of this black armor army...
"Immortal Kingdom? Xuanjia Army?"
The Great Sage Fufeng, who followed Mrs. Qingzhu's gaze, widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
"And that chariot... Is this Luo Yujun coming?!"
The eyes of the Great Sage Fufeng were so wide that they almost fell down. "Didn't this old monster never leave the Kingdom of the Undying? Why did he come to the Shark Kingdom to join in the fun?"
"Is it true that the treasures obtained in this rare treasure meeting are so powerful that they can even attract such old monsters who have not left home for thousands of years?"
The Great Sage Fufeng was stunned, while Madam Qingzhu was shocked.
Although she did not recognize the chariot of the Immortal King, she also heard that the Great Sage Fufeng said that those beings in the South China Sea should not be provoked.
In addition to the Sharman Kingdom and the Hanhai Ministry, it is this mysterious undead country that bears the brunt...
The immortal king Luo Yujun who has lived for an unknown number of years, as well as the immortal citizens who are rumored to be immortal, the country's borders that are never open to the outside world, and the frighteningly powerful Xuanjia army...
If it was surprising that the Hanhai tribe of the Li tribe was attracted by the exotic treasure, then the strange Xuanjia army in front of them was a bit strange.
This immortal king, Luo Yujun, is not something ordinary treasures can attract. What's more, these four columns of cavalry in front of me...
Mrs. Qingzhu frowned and asked, "Brother Tiger, are these four ranks of cavalry the same as you mentioned before... the immortal national soldiers and imperial guards?"
The Great Sage Fufeng nodded and said, "Yes, they are indeed the Bingxi Imperial Guards of the Immortal Kingdom."
"There are a total of forty people in these four columns of cavalry. They may seem like a small number, but they can defeat thousands of troops. The armor they wear is the top group among the Xuanjia Army."
"According to rumors, there are only forty-five soldiers in this immortal country, and each one of them is the top combat power of the immortal country."
"Their armor is a ferocious thing from ancient times, with unpredictable power."
"Forty-five Bingxuan Imperial Guards went out at the same time, but their power far exceeded the tens of thousands of ordinary black armor troops. Now with forty Bingxian Imperial Guards accompanying them, the Immortal Kingdom has almost exhausted its best... It can be said that it has been mobilized. It takes a nationwide effort.”
Having said this, the Great Sage Fufeng also noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but frowned.
He said, "But Luo Yujun came to the Sharman Kingdom. If he just came to participate in the rare treasures conference, why would he put up such a big battle? Forty soldiers and imperial guards accompanied him, almost the entire country's strength... This Luo Yujun is here. Can’t fight?”
The Great Sage Fufeng walked to the window and frowned as he watched the chariot of the Immortal Kingdom and the forty accompanying soldiers entering the street below.
At this time, the streets have become deserted again.
The passers-by who were originally excited about seeing the chariot of the King of the Undying Kingdom could no longer laugh after gradually learning about the terror of these forty soldiers and imperial guards.
Anyone who sees such a scene will not think that Luo Yujun is simply here to participate in the rare treasures conference.
With forty soldiers and imperial guards entering the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom in a majestic manner, this battle... seems to be to cause trouble!
Both countries are equally mysterious and notorious in the South China Sea.
Even if outsiders cannot tell which side is stronger, they can be sure that no matter which side, ordinary people cannot offend.
Therefore, compared with the excitement when the Hanhai tribe entered the city, when the chariot carried by the strange beast entered the city, although there were many onlookers on both sides of the street, no one made a loud noise.
The quiet and lifeless atmosphere seemed inexplicably solemn.
On the second floor of the restaurant, after the Great Sage Fufeng and Madam Qingzhu watched the chariot of the Immortal Kingdom disappear, Madam Qingzhu whispered.
"Perhaps something big happened in the city, and even the Immortal Lord was alarmed... Thinking about it this way, maybe even the arrival of the Hanhai Ministry priest may be related to this matter."
Madam Qingzhu's guess made the Great Sage Fufeng shake his head.
A frail man in a scholar's robe stood by the window and said, "Why do you think so much? We will find out later by asking Li Po."
After saying that, the frail man took Mrs. Qingzhu downstairs to settle the bill.
Then the two of them prepared to leave and went to visit the residence of the Hanhai tribe of the Li people. But the moment the two of them went downstairs, there was another commotion at the city gate.
It seems like another big shot is coming.
Hearing the movement, the Great Sage Fufeng couldn't help but stop, and stood still on the roadside, with a curious look on his face.
"Who's here again? The Sharman Kingdom is very lively today."
The words of the Great Sage Fufeng are also the sentiments of many passers-by on both sides of the street.
People all stopped to watch, waiting for the big man at the city gate to come in.
And soon, the team entering the city appeared in people's sight.
But compared with the previous Hanhai Ministry and the Immortal Kingdom, the momentum of the team entering the city was much weaker.
What appeared at the end of the street was a team of less than ten people. Those who came were all wearing black robes, but as they walked around, the robes seemed empty. If the face and head were not exposed, one would almost think that there is nothing under the black robe.
There is neither a fierce reputation nor the evil aura of the soldiers. This group of more than ten people seemed to be just ordinary business travelers entering the city.
If it weren't for the fact that they were greeted by the Marine Patrol General of the Sharman Kingdom, almost no one would take this group of people seriously.
However, after seeing this group of strange-looking men in black robes, Great Sage Fufeng's expression changed slightly, and he obviously recognized the identities of these men in black robes.
Mrs. Qingzhu on the side was slightly moved in her heart, and she quickly asked in a low voice, "Brother Tiger, does he know these black-robed people?"
The Great Sage Fufeng said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on the group of black-robed men. It wasn't until these seemingly ordinary men in black robes completely left the street and disappeared from sight that the Great Sage Fufeng took a breath and whispered.
"This is a citizen of Wuqi, and the leader is the leader of Wuqi Kingdom, the most mysterious and unpredictable existence in the South China Sea. If we dig deeper, the inheritance of my Hongdao has some relationship with Wuqi Kingdom... …The ruins where I found Ming Hong Dao were the capital of the Wu Qi Kingdom a hundred thousand years ago.”
Madam Qingzhu was shocked by the words of the Great Sage Fufeng.
"One hundred thousand years ago?!"
For ordinary practitioners, a hundred years is already a long time scale.
Even for top practitioners, thousands of years are difficult to endure.
Thousands of years of time are enough to consume the inheritance of many lands...
But this Wuqi country actually existed a hundred thousand years ago?
She looked in disbelief in the direction where the group of black-robed men disappeared, and whispered, "But this Wuqi country has such a long history, why has the name of this country never been heard in the South China Sea?"
The Great Sage Fufeng sighed and said, "Because of this, everyone in the country practices behind closed doors and never sets foot in the outside world. Even if he goes out occasionally, he never publicizes his reputation outside."
"I can know their names, and I had an encounter with the leader of the Wuqi Kingdom when I first received the inheritance of the Minghong Sword. Later, when I met Priest Li Po, Priest Meng Li Po gave me some advice, and I learned about this group of mysterious black people. The origin of the robed man is so terrifying.”
The Great Sage Fufeng looked around and whispered, "It is rumored in ancient times that this Wuqi country is a vassal state of the ancient demon Zhulong, and has worshiped Zhulong for generations!"
"...?!"
The great sage Fufeng's whispers frightened Mrs. Qingzhu's complexion.
Zhu... Zhulong?
The evil name of this ancient monster is known to everyone in the world.
As a being with a fierce reputation in ancient times, he has survived the catastrophes of the world, and even in today's era, he still has a notorious reputation.
It is one of the most terrifying existences on the market today.
This Wuqi country actually worships Zhulong? No wonder it can survive hundreds of thousands of years...
However, the priest of the Li tribe was able to reveal the origins of the Wuqi Kingdom. It seems that the mysterious nine tribes of the Li tribe have existed for a longer period of time than rumored.
Mrs. Qingzhu looked shocked, feeling that she seemed to be involved in a mysterious battle that was far beyond her level. When the vast curtain opens, an evil cultivator like her is probably worse than even the most cornered insect.
First, the Hanhai Tribe of the Li tribe appeared, then the leader of the Immortal Kingdom, who had not been here for thousands of years, entered the city with his troops and imperial guards. Now, even the ancient heritage of the Wuqi Kingdom, which only a few people know about, has come...
What on earth happened in this mermaid capital before us!
The few parties that came out on the surface alone were enough to scare everyone. Moreover, in the dark places that people have not explored, there are who knows how many beings of the same level have come...
Are these mysterious and terrifying beings really just here for the Rare Treasures Conference?
Although the Rare Treasures Conference is well-known, it seems that it is not qualified to cause such a big wave...
