Turning point
The city lord swallowed involuntarily when he saw the serious look on the immortal's face.
"But something happened."
Chang Xia came back to his senses, his eyes dark, "City Lord, the divine sword's divinity is gone. I'm afraid that in a few days, the demons will break through the boundary and come to flatten this place, completely destroying the divine sword."
The city lord was so frightened that his legs were shaking, and cold sweat was pouring out. He forced a smile that was even uglier than bitterness: "Immortal... Immortal, please don't scare me."
Chang Xia's expression turned cold. "I wouldn't joke with you about something like this. Fishing for snow is the key to the formation. I believe the Morning Star Mountain Master has told your ancestors that the demon race can't enter the human world now because of the Four-sided Sword Formation. Without the key, how can the sword formation still be maintained?"
Finally, she added, "I can no longer take care of the affairs of Ziyou City. I must report this to the Sect Master immediately and prepare to fight against the demon race."
The city lord was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground, muttering: "How could this happen, how could this happen?"
He remembered what Changxia had just said: once the demons broke through their front line, they would first come to Ziyou City to completely destroy the magic sword.
When the demons destroy the divine sword, will they leave a way for the people in the City Lord's Mansion to survive?
Chang Xia seemed a little reluctant, so he said: "After I report back to the headmaster, Yun Ting will send disciples to garrison in the city."
What she didn't say was that she didn't know how many people would be sent. After all, without Diaoxue, the importance of Ziyou City had declined a lot.
The city lord obviously understood the hidden meaning and his face turned even paler.
Changxia didn't care about him. He just said a few words of comfort and flew away on his sword.
Of course not returning to Yunting.
Even without its sword spirit, Bie Jingchun's sword was still one of the finest in the world. With the support of the ten thousand flying swords of the Northern Territory, it was fully capable of serving as the center of the formation. Furthermore, to assume that destroying a single center would destroy the Four Directions Sword Formation was a gross underestimation of Bie Jingchun.
Of course, Changxia lied to him about what he just said.
As for the reason...
No matter how much Chang Xia disliked Morning Star Mountain, she couldn't deny that Zuo Qin, the Mountain Master, was a truly remarkable genius. Even her always-impressive senior brother had to admit that compared to Zuo Qin, his attainments in formations were only second to none.
The formation set up by Zuo Qin himself must be the most perfect formation in the world. It is almost impossible for outsiders to take away Diaoxue's sword intent from his formation.
Unless someone changes it from the inside and obscures the formation.
Chang Xia didn't know who the traitor in the City Lord's Mansion was, but it was always a good idea to scare the City Lord. Regardless of whether it was him or not, he would react, and this was his opportunity.
Changxia avoided the sight of people around him and quietly climbed up to Shen Siyan's window. Shen Siyan, who was counting money, was so scared that he immediately jumped onto the table and squatted.
Chang Xia taunted: "Why is your defensive posture like a monkey?"
Seeing it was her, Shen Siyan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to his bed, picked up his spirit stones, and put them back into his storage bag. This shady shop, taking advantage of the fact that most of the people traveling between the two realms were cultivators, actually charged spirit stones directly for the room. With a team of about ten people, the thought of how much money they had to spend made him feel bad.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming?"
Changxia sat down without hesitation and poured himself a glass of water, but then thought about the table that Shen Siyan had just stepped on, and put the cup down in disgust.
"The sword intent of Diaoxue is gone."
Shen Siyan was stunned: "Ah"
Chang Xia said impatiently: "Stop pretending. Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion later. I just tricked him, so he should make some moves."
As she spoke, she recounted what had happened at the Diaoxue Seal. Changxia's lie wasn't particularly brilliant, but the people in the City Lord's Mansion didn't know the secrets, so it might be enough to fool them for a while; at least then they would definitely find someone to verify the truth.
It is very important to choose who to verify the authenticity.
Shen Siyan nodded thoughtfully. If it was really the sword energy used by Pei Xilai and the resentful woman, with luck, we could solve the problem by waiting there today.
This will not only allow you to take the lead, but also save a lot of room fees.
Thinking of this, he immediately went out with Changxia.
Chang Xia asked: "Why don't you arrange for these disciples with your assistant?"
So Shen Siyan fell back again.
The deputy is called Lin Jiang. He has followed Chen Siyan for hundreds of years and has enough seniority to be on good terms with him.
Shen Siyan didn't tell him the purpose of this trip, only that she wanted to go out alone with Changxia. Lin Jiang glanced at him with a complicated expression, thinking of the fact that they were alone in a private room before, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Ah Yan, I know that Senior Sister Changxia is beautiful, good at swordsmanship, and has a good temper, but competing with Xie Fengxue for someone will kill you."
Chen Siyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "It would take a long time for me to fall in love with her."
Chang Xia was not in a position to listen to the Privy Council's own arrangements. She waited outside for Shen Siyan, only to see him come out with a look as if he had swallowed a fly.
She couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter?"
Shen Siyan looked at her, looked up and found that there was a roof above, then ran to the window and looked at the sky, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, the sun rises from the east."
Chang Xia didn't understand why, but since Shen Siyan refused to explain, she didn't want to ask. So she turned to talk about the next arrangements.
"I just asked my senior brother, he has studied the formation of the City Lord's Mansion."
In fact, he has studied all of Zuo Qin's formations.
"He said that anyone who enters or leaves the City Lord's Mansion will have their aura locked by the formation, and that aura can be read and detected."
Shen Siyan didn't expect this formation to be so versatile, and immediately said: "Then the next thing will be very simple."
Chang Xia said solemnly: "No."
Contemplative words:
"Only those with authority and knowledge of special methods can use it, and we have neither. The city lord, as the master of the formation, does have authority, but he knows nothing about it, let alone the method."
This is also a form of defense. After all, the cultivation levels of all the previous city lords were not high, and a new generation has emerged every hundred years. No one can guarantee whether the people in the position can be reliable as it is passed down from generation to generation.
Chang Xia glanced at Chen Siyan and continued, "Or do you want to experience the power of the formation set up by Zuo Qin himself?"
Shen Siyan thought about the sect’s killing formations and shook his head suddenly.
"so"
"So I called for help." Chang Xia shook the kite in his hand and said, "Please reimburse my senior brother for the shuttle bus fare."
Zuo Qin's formation is almost impossible to be broken from the outside, unless that person is Xie Fengxue.
Shen Siyan clutched his storage bag tightly again. A flying shuttle! It was a flying shuttle! And based on his understanding of the two brothers and sisters, Xie Fengxue would definitely sit in the most expensive private room.
He felt his heart was bleeding.
Seeing him like this, Chang Xia felt inexplicably better. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go. We still have to wait and see. If we catch them in the act, our mission will be accomplished."
Shen Siyan didn't say anything, but he was complaining in his heart: But your senior brother still spent my money to take the shuttle!
When they returned to the City Lord's Mansion, everything seemed normal. The old City Lord was pacing alone in the study, his face half anxious and half doubtful.
Chang Xia whispered to Shen Siyan, "Don't use kites here. The messages you send will be monitored by the formation."
Shen Siyan raised an eyebrow: "Master Zuo has this hobby?"
Chang Xia rolled his eyes. "If you're caught snooping on the kite, you'll be tried by the Law Enforcement Hall. There's no way Zuo Qin would leave such a big handle on Ziyou City. But after you sent the message, the spell fluctuations were captured by the formation, alerting the city lord that a cultivator was approaching. This is legal. Not only is it legal, but the people from the Law Enforcement Hall sometimes use this trick to arrest people."
Changxia had suffered in this regard before, and was played like a monkey by Zuoqin.
That damn old man was as old as her master, yet he was nitpicking with a junior like her.
This was the first time Shen Siyan had heard such a statement. However, when they were carrying out certain missions, there was indeed a rule that kites were not allowed to be used.
He had investigated but could not find the specific reason. Although he had some ideas in his mind, he could not be sure.
I didn't expect to get the answer from Changxia.
but……
This is considered a secret of Morning Star Mountain and the Law Enforcement Hall! Chang Xia said this because she had never thought that he, the Chief Envoy of the Privy Council, would not know about it. Or was it because others acted as if it was nothing when they told her, so she thought it was common sense?
He lowered his eyelids in deep thought, suppressing his emotions.
He couldn't help but rethink some things.
The relationship between Morning Star Mountain and Hidden Front Mountain is not as bad as rumored, and the information he can access is not as advanced as he imagined.
Changxia was staring at the city lord intently.
Not knowing whether the city lord had already made arrangements or had other plans, he was anxious but did not take the next step.
In the evening, when the maid in the mansion brought the meal, the city lord stopped pacing as if he had just woken up from a dream, asked the maid to go first, and stared at the food for a long time. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he knocked three times on the pen holder in the study.
Chang Xia and Shen Siyan looked at each other and thought, the fish has taken the bait.
They stared at the city lord's study without blinking, afraid of missing any details.
Disappointingly, nothing happened within half an hour after the city lord knocked on the pen holder.
It seemed that the city lord was also surprised by this situation. He knocked the pen holder again and again, and finally seemed to be so angry that he smashed everything in the study.
Chen Siyan spread his hands towards Changxia and made a funny expression.
Oh no, the fishing line broke.
A more normal guess is that Yuan Nu and Pei Xilai knew that Yun Ting had sent people, so they refused to come out no matter what.
What's worse could be that the two of them have already obtained the authority of the City Lord's Mansion, and somehow got the method to use it, knowing that they are hiding in the City Lord's Mansion.
Just when they were at a loss, a stone suddenly flew in from somewhere and hit Shen Siyan's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.
At this time, Xie Fengxue's sinister voice sounded from behind:
"Xia Xia, didn't you say you didn't want to fool around with Shen Siyan anymore?"
Changxia turned around and saw a man standing on the glazed tiles under the rising bright moon. He was wearing a green shirt with wide sleeves, a jade crown to tie his hair, and had a handsome appearance and a natural temperament.
Like she dressed up before going out?
Chang Xia suppressed a flash of doubt and shouted in surprise: "Senior Brother!"
