"This big state seems to be the area where the Hanshui Palace is located, the Northern State?"
Lu Qing sensed the rules of heaven and earth around him, and suddenly his heart moved.
He once received a map from Lin Zhirui that marked the various forces in the world.
This also includes the continents where the four secret places are located, which have gradually reappeared before the world in the past two years.
However, this time when Lu Qing took Xiaoyan on the trip, he acted on impulse and did not pay much attention to the destination.
Now that they sensed the strangeness of this place, they realized that they had arrived at the big province where Hanshui Palace, one of the four secret places, was located.
Rumor has it that most of the disciples of Hanshui Palace practice icy-attributed skills.
I just didn't expect that the state we occupied was so peculiar.
Of course, Lu Qing just sighed and didn't have any other thoughts.
This time when he came out, he had no intention of having any interaction with the people from the three secret places.
After all, he knew that since he destroyed Xuankong Mountain, the attitudes of the remaining three secret places towards him were probably very complicated.
After all, the four secret places are not all harmonious with each other, and there are even many grudges between some of the secret places.
For example, Qingyang Temple and Xuankong Mountain have always disliked each other.
But Lu Qing destroyed the entire Hanging Mountain, and even the secret realm disappeared completely.
This is really too terrifying for other secret places.
They couldn't imagine how Lu Qing did it.
So Lu Qing estimated that if he really appeared in front of other secret places, there would be many people who would be restless.
If that's the case, why bother to actively invite dislike?
Since Xiaoyan likes it here, Lu Qing plans to stay for a while.
Immediately, he took Xiaoyan and the others out for a trip.
A few days later, they arrived in front of a huge city.
"Hanshui City?"
Looking at the huge ancient characters on the city gate, Lu Qing read softly.
According to the information provided by Lin Zhirui, Hanshui City is also an ancient city that has existed for a very long time.
However, this city is now controlled by Hanshui Palace.
“So beautiful!”
Xiaoyan looked up at the huge city in front of her and exclaimed in amazement.
At this time, Xiaoyan was wearing a very beautiful fur coat, looking icy and cute.
Even Lu Qing was wearing a robe.
Although with his cultivation level, he has already reached the state where he is immune to cold and heat, and even icebergs and magma cannot hurt him in the slightest.
But during the trip, he and Xiaoyan still followed the local customs and wore thick clothes.
As for Xiao Li, it didn't like the cold, so it had already crawled into Lu Qing's arms and fell asleep.
Even the Five Elements became as thick as a thumb, coiled into a ball, and hid in Xiaoyan's hood.
Hearing Xiaoyan's exclamation, Lu Qing smiled.
Yes, this city is indeed beautiful.
Because of the cold weather, various ice sculptures are carved on the city gates and walls.
All of them are lifelike and vivid.
This makes the entire city wall look both exquisite and majestic.
After admiring for a while, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan into the city.
Once you enter Hanshui City, the scenery inside is even more pleasing to the eye.
There are exquisite and beautiful ice sculptures everywhere, and the entire Hanshui City is like a huge work of art.
"This city is blessed by the power of an ancient formation, but the people of Hanshui Palace don't seem to know how to use it?"
Lu Qing took Xiaoyan for a stroll in the city, the stars in the city reflected in his mind.
With the inheritance of the Divine Talisman Sect, Lu Qing's attainments in the art of formations are also quite profound.
He could feel that this ancient city, like the holy city in Zhongzhou, must have been built with the art of formation.
Now, as the world recovers, the ancient formation that has been silent for tens of thousands of years is also faintly awakening.
But what made him feel strange was that
The formation in the city seemed to be unmanned and operating on its own, without any one in charge. It was unable to regulate and utilize the power of the formation.
As a result, the spiritual energy in this city is not much stronger than outside the city.
The efficiency of utilizing the power of the formation is far inferior to the formation he set up in Jiuli Village.
And the people walking on the street also gave him a strange feeling.
Many people were walking in a hurry, with nervous looks on their faces.
More importantly, he could feel it through his spiritual perception.
There are many powerful auras throughout Hanshui City.
There are many people in the Innate Realm, and even some in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This made him feel a little strange.
Although the world has changed and spiritual energy has revived in the past two or three years, many warriors in the world have made breakthroughs.
Innate realm powerhouses are not as rare as they used to be.
But the number of strong people in Hanshui City is really too many.
It was simply more than what he had seen in the secret realm of Hanging Mountain.
Is the foundation of Hanshui Palace so profound?
"Or is there something big going to happen in Hanshui City?"
Lu Qing felt curious, so after taking Xiaoyan for a walk for a while, he found a rather busy restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered some local specialties, and sat down.
While Xiaoyan and the others were eating happily, Lu Qing listened to the conversations of other guests in the restaurant.
The reason why he chose this restaurant was because he sensed that there were many powerful auras here.
There were some people in the Xiantian realm eating and drinking inside.
Sure enough, after listening for a while, he got the information he wanted.
"Do you think that evil man will really come today?"
In a private room next door, there was a table of guests chatting.
One of them, a big man with a strong aura and who seemed to have reached the innate realm, suddenly said.
"Be careful, what evil person? He is the leader of the Changhen Sect! It is said that he has already passed the thunder tribulation and achieved the supreme golden elixir realm!
If he hears you speak rudely, he will kill you and no one will dare to say anything! "
The big man had just opened his mouth when he was warned by his tablemate.
The big man paused and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately he didn't dare to do it again.
Instead, he used a respectful title: "Will the leader of the Changhen Sect really come today?"
"He has already issued a declaration of war to Hanshui Palace in such a high-profile manner. If I don't come, won't I be laughed at by the world?"
"Yes, that day he came from the sky, hovering over the Hanshui Palace, and issued a declaration of war. He was so high-spirited and vigorous.
It would be a surprise if you didn’t come today.”
“Then tell me, if the leader of Changhen Sect comes, will the Palace Master accept the challenge?” the big man continued.
“It’s hard to say. I heard that the leader of the Changhen Sect survived a thunderstorm in Changhen Mountain a month ago and achieved the supreme realm of a Golden Core True Person. He has unfathomable magical powers.
You also saw that day, the leader of the Changhen Sect came riding on the wind.
Its terrifying power suppressed the entire city.
Even though the Palace Master is powerful, he may not be able to resist it."
The big man's companion analyzed.
His aura was equally strong, and he had apparently reached a level of innate minor success.
After hearing their companion's words, the guests at that table fell silent.
They recalled the terrifying aura that the leader of the Changhen Sect exuded when he came to issue a challenge.
Being in the innate realm, they only felt their hearts trembling, and apart from fear, they had almost no other thoughts.
After a while, someone puzzled and said, "Don't you find it strange? The Changhen Sect is, at best, just a small sect.
Why is their leader so powerful? How long has it been since the world revived?
He was actually able to survive the thunder tribulation and achieve the realm of Golden Elixir True Man!
Even the Saint Lords of the Holy Mountain only survived the thunder tribulation more than a year ago, right?"
“Who knows? Maybe the leader of the Changhen Sect has obtained some treasures, but has been hiding them to bide his time.
It was not until the world revived that he found the opportunity to refine the treasure and soar into the sky. "Someone speculated.
“Hearing you say this, it seems that I have indeed heard rumors in the past few days.
It is said that more than two years ago, when the third sound of heaven and earth sounded, a stream of light flew out from Zhongzhou and flew to all the states in the world.
One of the streaks of light just fell into the Changhen Mountains.
But many people went to look for it at that time, but found nothing.
You said, did the leader of the Changhen Sect get that Liuguang? "
"Who would know about this? Do you dare to ask the leader of the Changhen Sect?"
Everyone else paused, then shook their heads.
Are you kidding? Whoever dares to ask a Jindan Zhenren about his treasure would be like a man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long.
After skipping over this matter, someone else said, “However, what kind of grudge does the leader of the Changhen Sect have with the Hanshui Palace that he would issue a surprise challenge in such a high-profile manner.
Could it be that, as he said, Hanshui Palace had a grudge against him for killing his wife and taking his son away?
This is impossible. The Four Secret Places are so powerful. If they really had such a deep hatred for them, how could the Changhen Sect survive until now?"
“It’s hard to say. The leader of Changhen Sect is now a Jindan Zhenren, so he won’t lie.
Moreover, Hanshui Palace did not refute it at the time, and seemed to have acquiesced."
“If this is true, Hanshui City will be very lively today.
One of the four great secret places was challenged in front of the whole world.
If we lose this battle, I'm afraid the legend of the four secret places will be shattered."
Some people showed an expression of gloating, and it was obvious that they were the kind of people who enjoyed watching the fun and not minding any trouble.
"There is a Jindan realm expert who wants to challenge Hanshui Palace?"
Lu Qing listened to the conversation of the guests at that table and finally understood why so many powerful people gathered in the city.
It turned out that there was a powerful Jindan realm expert who wanted to challenge Hanshui Palace in public today.
I'm afraid most of these strong men just came to watch the fun.
After all, for the past tens of thousands of years, the four secret places have had an extremely respected status in the entire world.
Now someone actually dares to challenge it, which will certainly attract the attention of many powerful people in the world.
It was because I had been taking Xiaoyan to travel recently that I knew nothing about this.
“However, the leader of a small sect can enter the Golden Core Realm in such a short time.
Even if he obtained the origin of Qi, it would be too much, right? "
Lu Qing felt strange.
He naturally knew what the guests at that table had just mentioned, the fleeting opportunity.
It should be the original energy that appeared in Zhongzhou when the sound of heaven and earth sounded for the third time.
Although most of the original energy was intercepted by the powerful people who stayed in the Holy City at that time.
But there are still a small number of them that flew out of Zhongzhou, scattered in the outer states, and were obtained by other creatures.
But even if he had obtained the original energy, it was still very unusual to be able to achieve the Golden Core Realm in such a short period of time.
After all, before the world changed and the spiritual energy revived.
In this world, besides the four secret places, there are also unique places like the Holy Mountain.
In other places, one can only cultivate to the perfection of the Innate Realm at best.
Otherwise, Senior Li Weitian would not have risked his life to break through the barrier due to his approaching life span, and ultimately died with hatred in his heart.
In other words, according to reason, the leader of the Changhen Sect became the leader in just two or three years.
Practice from the Xiantian realm to the Jindan realm.
This speed of cultivation is simply terrifying.
You should know that Master has also refined the original energy, but despite Master's talent in cultivation, he is still only at the perfect foundation-building stage.
Although he was only one step away from the Golden Core Realm, he had yet to sense the opportunity for a breakthrough.
For a moment, Lu Qing became very interested in the leader of Changhen Sect.
With curiosity in mind, Lu Qing also started eating and drinking.
The food in Hanshui City is quite good.
Especially the barbecue, it is a must.
The meat slices are cut large, thin and marinated, and they crackle when slightly grilled.
Dip it in the restaurant's special dry ingredients, and it will be delicious with its aroma when you take a bite.
Not only did Xiaoyan have her mouth full of oil, but even Xiaoli, who always loved fish the most, ate a lot.
As for the five elements, it was even more exaggerated, swallowing them piece by piece.
This forced Lu Qing to ask the store to continue to supply more meat so that they would have enough to eat.
Fortunately, he asked for a private room, otherwise, Xiaoli and Wuxing’s eating habits would probably attract a lot of attention.
After all, there are many people in the world who like to raise rare and exotic animals, and there are many nobles in the city who like to travel with all kinds of exotic pets.
But such a spiritual pet is still extremely rare.
While eating and drinking, Lu Qing was still listening to the conversation next door.
From this he learned a lot of details about this challenge.
For example, the leader of the Changhen Sect issued a declaration of war seven days ago.
The official day of the challenge is today.
Precisely because the time is short, the strong men gathered in the city are all from the nearby states.
Even if the strong people in farther places received the news, it would be difficult for them to rush over.
Otherwise, the number of strong people in the city would probably be several times more.
Another thing is that the leader of Changhen Sect did have a wife in his early years before he founded Changhen Sect. It is said that she was very beautiful, and was no less beautiful than the beauties on the so-called beauty list.
But since some day, the wife of the leader of Changhen Sect disappeared.
It is said that she died of complications during childbirth and both mother and child could not be saved.
The poor leader of the Changhen Sect turned white overnight.
After more than ten years of silence, the Changhen Sect was founded, and several decades have passed since then.
But now it seems that there was another hidden story behind the death of his wife and children.
Lu Qing ate and drank while listening to the gossip of the people next door, and he seemed quite relaxed and content.
The main thing was that the people next door didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, and if they spoke loudly, I'm afraid that people outside the restaurant could hear them. Even if he didn't know how to use his strength, he could still hear them clearly.
While Lu Qing was eating and drinking, suddenly, his expression changed.
The next moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the city:
"Bitch, I'm here, are you ready to die?"
