Chapter 486 'Something is wrong'

early morning.

The brilliance of the morning sun was reflected on the cement walls of Linzi City, making the magnificent city so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. With the harsh sound of the city gate opening, a large number of pedestrians shuttled in and out of Linzi City, welcoming a new day full of vitality.

"Old Wang, what a juicy dish!"

"I was delayed in the city yesterday. I have to get home quickly!"

"What?"

"Sir, I want to go to the city to sell some food."

……

Merchants and farmers shuttling in and out of Linzi City chatted with the soldiers guarding the city gates from time to time. Everything was so normal, as if no different from the past.

call!
When the morning sun completely rose from behind the mountains in the east, the dozen soldiers guarding the city gate all looked a little tired. A young soldier exhaled heavily, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his cheek, and a look of inner confusion appeared between his brows. He turned his head and said to his brother beside him:
"Brothers, today is a little strange. There are many more people entering the city than yesterday!"

"It's a bit strange indeed."

"The new chief priest of Jixia Academy has been decided. Haven't those masters of various schools of thought left?"

"I have been guarding the city gate here for five or six years. I can't say I know all the people coming and going in and out of Linzi City, but most of them are familiar to me. However, I don't know many of the people entering the city today."

……

Following the words of the soldier, the others also reacted and started to discuss the matter while no one was entering the city. Some soldiers who had been guarding here for years even found that among the people entering the city, there were many unfamiliar faces that they had no impression of.

"Something's not right."

The sergeant who was ordered to lead his brothers to guard this place, heard what his brothers said, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"You stay here, I will report to the higher-ups."

"Here."

Before Shi Chang finished speaking, everyone else reacted and agreed in unison.

have to! have to! have to!
Not long after the clever sergeant left, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. Along with the hooves, a team of several carriages, guarded by armored Qin soldiers on both sides, arrived at the gate of Linzi City.

"who?"

Although this team was protected by Qin troops, the Qin soldiers guarding the city gate did not let them pass immediately. Instead, they surrounded them with a look of genuine vigilance on their faces.

Brush and pull!

The documents and tokens that had been prepared long ago were sent out from the carriage for these Qin soldiers to check. After the inspection was completed, all the Qin soldiers immediately stepped back, looking at this team with a touch of respect from the bottom of their hearts, and allowed this team to move forward into the city unimpeded. ………………

There is an inn.

The inn doesn't occupy a large area. It is just a small inn with two floors, seven or eight rooms, and a backyard. It can be said to be ordinary. However, as long as you have tasted the cooking skills of the inn's owner, no one dares to say it is bad. Therefore, the inn is said to be full of customers and has a booming business.

For some reason, today the doors and windows of an inn were closed, as if the innkeeper said: "Pao Ding, I have encountered some urgent matters and am not in the inn anymore." In fact, Pao Ding apologized to some old customers yesterday, saying that he was not feeling well these days and wanted to rest for a day tomorrow to get enough rest.

The food sent to the Jixia Academy today was also prepared by Cook Ding overnight and sent by someone.

call!call!call!
In a closed inn, Cook Ding, who claimed to be in poor health and in urgent need of rest, gathered in the lobby with Gao Jianli, Dao Zhi, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Tian Hu, Tian Yan and others. Because the doors and windows were sealed, it was difficult for light from the outside to enter, and the lobby was dark. Only a little light seeped in from the gaps, allowing Cook Ding and others to see other people's faces clearly.

The lobby, which covers an area of ​​more than ten feet and has more than ten people at once, is particularly dull because of the presence of these people. In the eyes of others, Tian Yan, who is frail, has fine sweat stains on his smooth forehead, as if he can't stand the atmosphere here. Tian Yan is not an exception. His heavy breathing, like a cow's panting, echoes in the inn, as if the chef Ding had converted this place into a cowshed on a whim.

"Fatty Ding, are you sure the information is reliable?"

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally broke the silence. Gao Jianli, with long hair and a cold temperament, shot a sharp light in his eyes, which fell on Pao Ding, and he spoke word by word.

Cook Ding said in a deep voice: "It is absolutely reliable! Shi Lan told me personally that tonight is the day when Tian Xuanzi will seize the essence of the Snow Girl."

"You chose tonight?" Wei Zhuang had a half-smile on his face. "Tonight is the full moon, which is when the yin and yang in Tian Xuanzi's body are out of balance and his power is at its weakest. He chose this time to absorb the Snow Girl's yin essence. Isn't he afraid that his yin energy will be too strong and he will go astray?"

"Xiao Zhuang, you are wrong." Gai Nie corrected his junior brother's point of view, "Tian Xuanzi chose tonight, not only will he not go astray, but also his power will achieve the mutual generation of yin and yang. When the water is full, it will overflow; when the moon is full, it will wane. When the yin energy of the full moon is the heaviest, Tian Xuanzi inhaled a large amount of yin energy at one time, which is enough to overwhelm the most rigid and yang energy in his body. When the moon is over and the yang energy rises again, the suppressed power in his body will rise again, and it will be able to achieve a perfect balance with the yin energy, achieving the image of the mutual generation of yin and yang."

“By then, not only will he no longer have to worry about Yue Yuan, he may even be able to break into the fifth realm of martial arts: Qian Yuan realm!”

hiss!
As soon as Gai Nie said this, there were gasps of shock in the hall. Everyone had an expression of disbelief, and endless fear was rising in everyone's eyes.

Nowadays, most people believe that there are only five realms in martial arts.

The first is the Body Tempering Realm; the second is the Kaiyuan Realm, the third is the Lihe Realm, the fourth is the Huiyang Realm, and the fifth is the Qianyuan Realm!

Huiyang Realm is the realm where Wei Zhuang, Yan Dan, Yue Shen and other top masters who are feared by the world are in; as for Qianyuan Realm, in the eyes of most people in the world, there are only a few people such as Bei Mingzi, Guiguzi, Xunzi, Donghuang Taiyi and so on. When Tianxuan was still in Huiyang Realm, he relied on the peerless magic weapon in his hand: Hongming Knife, and rarely met an opponent.

Once he enters the Qianyuan realm, coupled with the Hongming Sword, I am afraid that only four words can describe his terrifyingness:
Invincible!

"So, no matter what, we must not let Tian Xuanzi succeed. Otherwise, the world will usher in a second Ying Zheng!"

No one present doubted Gai Nie's attainments in martial arts. Knowing that if Tian Xuan succeeded, the other party would most likely enter the fifth realm of martial arts: Qian Yuan realm, everyone felt cold all over, just thinking about it made them shudder.

After a long silence, Xiang Shaoyu, the new leader of the Xiang clan of the Chu State, stood up from the corner, his face full of murderous intent, and spoke word by word.

Ugh!
Xiang Shaoyu's words were also what most people in the room were thinking. When these words came out, although the others did not say anything, they all showed deep agreement. The atmosphere in the hall turned from gloomy to cold!
