"Zhoutian City."
High in the sky, Lu Qing stood in the air, looking far ahead at the huge cities located on the earth.
That is the base camp of the Gongshu family, Zhoutian City.
Looking at Zhoutian City, which is much larger than Tianshu City, information about this city emerged in Lu Qing's mind.
Zhoutian City is said to be a city built by Gongshujia's ancestors.
The architectural layout inside is very exquisite, with some implications of the distribution of stars in the sky.
The entire city is divided into two major areas: the inner city and the outer city.
The inner city is where the direct descendants of the Gongshu family live, while the outer city is where the collateral branches of the family, as well as other large and small forces affiliated with the Gongshu family, operate.
The outer city of Zhoutian City does not prohibit outsiders from entering, but the inner city is heavily guarded and protected by powerful formations.
If you enter without an invitation, you will be killed by the formation.
"It's not easy to force your way into the inner city. We need to find an opportunity to understand the situation first."
Lu Qing pondered silently in his heart.
The Gongshu family is one of the thirty-six upper clans in the Tianyuan World, and ranks quite high.
Such a huge force with extremely deep roots must have an old monster in the clan who has survived many spiritual tribulations.
In addition, there is a formation guarding it, so with his current strength, it is impossible for him to force his way in.
"But there is still a chance."
Lu Qing thought of the information provided by the Nether Palace when he took on the assassination mission, and he already had a plan in mind.
The next moment, he turned into a stream of light and flew down.
As for Xiao Li, to be on the safe side, he had let it hide temporarily in the Lihuo Cauldron.
After all, there is likely to be a powerful person in Gongshu's family who has begun to comprehend the way of space.
Xiao Li's spatial magical power would probably no longer be as undetectable as before in front of such an existence.
Therefore, Lu Qing did not plan to let Xiao Li participate in this assassination mission.
During the flight, Lu Qing's aura changed.
When he was about to approach Zhoutian City, his appearance and aura changed completely into another one.
An ordinary-looking, somewhat dull Jindan transformed into a middle-aged man and suddenly appeared.
Flying is not allowed within fifty miles around Zhoutian City. Lu Qing landed and used his skills to move forward.
After a while, they arrived in front of the city gate.
As one of the thirty-six upper clans in the Tianyuan World, the Gongshu family still has the necessary bearing.
Although there are guards at the gate of Zhoutian City, there is no access control, and there is no entrance fee.
Pedestrians, tourists, or business travelers can enter and exit freely.
Therefore, Lu Qing entered the outer city of Zhoutian City without any effort.
After entering the city, he did not rush to search for information, but instead found an inn and rented a Jindan-level cave to live in.
Then, in the following days, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
It means going out from time to time after practicing.
A few days later, Lu Qing rented a small shop in the outer city and opened a weapon refining shop.
The main business is to refine some ordinary magic weapons for sale, or to help people repair magic weapons.
At the beginning, his shop business was not good, but as a few months passed, relying on the good quality and low price of magic weapons, as well as good magic weapon repair technology,
His shop gradually became famous in the neighborhood, and people started coming there every day.
In the eyes of the surrounding merchants, Lu Qing is just an honest and hardworking weapon refiner with pretty good weapon refining skills.
However, they did not know that this honest shop owner who went out every day to purchase refining materials and wandered around had almost figured out the situation of Zhoutian City's outer city in just a few months.
"As expected of the Gongshu family's headquarters, the outer city of Zhoutian City alone is filled with numerous experts and powerful men."
At night, in his own weapon refining shop, Lu Qing sighed silently.
Over the past few months, he has basically figured out the situation of the outer city of Zhoutian City.
This clarity is not just about understanding the streets and buildings, but he has also figured out the distribution of forces in the entire outer city, as well as the distribution of formations.
There's no way around it, having superpowers is just so unreasonable.
Most of the time, Lu Qing doesn't need to ask anyone. He can read all kinds of information just by a glance without anyone being able to notice.
Lu Qing opened his palm and a ball of light appeared in his hand, covering a virtual city. If you look closely, you will find that it is exactly the appearance of Zhoutian City.
It was the model of Zhoutian City that Lu Qing constructed using illusion and magic power.
However, in addition to the lifelike buildings, this virtual Zhoutian City also has many formation patterns.
However, in the past few months, Lu Qing used his powerful spiritual sensing ability and strange supernatural powers to download and simulate the formation of the entire outer city of Zhoutian City bit by bit.
Then he would understand it thoroughly and use illusion to reproduce it.
It can be said that Lu Qing now knows more about the formation of Zhoutian City's outer city than most of the direct descendants of the Gongshu family.
"Unfortunately, the formations in Zhoutian City's inner city seem to be a separate system, and they are the core and central core. It is impossible to comprehend them solely by relying on the formations in the outer city."
These days, Lu Qing has been wandering around the outer city and has not approached the inner city.
Now it seems that we need to get closer.
"However, I have now thoroughly comprehended the outer city's formations. I can even utilize their power when necessary. Even if I approach the inner city, it shouldn't be that easy to detect."
The people of Gongshujia would never have imagined that there would be such a monstrous person in the world.
He was able to figure out the details of the city defense formation that they had been operating for generations just by taking a few glances.
So they shouldn't be on guard against someone coming to study the clan-suppressing formation in their inner city.
Lu Qing did what he said. He immediately activated the store's formation and pretended to take a break to prevent anyone from suddenly coming in and disturbing him.
He then sneaked out, restrained his breath, shuttled through the shadows, and quickly headed towards the inner city.
With the perfect invisible and formless ability of the golden elixir, coupled with a thorough understanding of the outer city formation.
Lu Qing is now moving around the outer city like a fish in water.
He could even perfectly blend his aura into the fluctuations of the outer city's formation.
It made it almost impossible for anyone to find his trace.
As he continued to go deeper, it didn't take long for Lu Qing to reach the outer city.
Looking at the towering inner city walls that exude a terrifying aura, and the ancient patterns engraved on them.
Lu Qing did not move any closer because he knew that if he went any further, it would cause the formation to react and alert the people in the city.
He found a good position, hiding his body while ensuring that he could see the condition of the city wall clearly.
He then activated his special ability and looked towards those ancient patterns.
After a long time, when Lu Qing saw the information appearing in his field of vision, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the prompt in the message, he chose to download without hesitation.
After a while, when the ability prompts were downloaded, I chose simulation again.
[Simulation completed, do you want to start learning?]
This time, Lu Qing did not choose to learn immediately, but quietly retreated back to the outer city.
Not long after, he returned to his weapon refining shop without disturbing anyone.
Entering the quiet room where he usually meditated, Lu Qing activated his special ability again and chose to study.
The next moment, a large amount of information about the formation in the inner city of Zhoutian City emerged from the depths of his mind, and Lu Qing instantly fell into a state of enlightenment.
After a long time, when he opened his eyes again and woke up from his state of meditation, there was both surprise and regret in his eyes.
“This Zhoutian City inner city formation is indeed the Gongshu family’s clan-protecting formation. It is extremely exquisite and surpasses most of the formations I have comprehended in the past.
Unfortunately, what was downloaded this time was only part of the information about the entire inner city formation."
What surprised Lu Qing was that the sophistication of the inner city's protective formation was even beyond his expectations.
This time's harvest has greatly enhanced his knowledge of formations.
Unfortunately, the formation information he downloaded this time was not the complete inner city defense formation.
The reason is that the Gongshu family's clan formation is not a single formation.
Instead, it is composed of many small and medium-sized formations, which ultimately form a huge formation with extremely complex operations.
What Lu Qing downloaded from the ancient runes on that section of the city wall was only part of the formation information of this large formation.
"It seems that it will take some time to replicate this formation."
Lu Qing was not discouraged. On the contrary, he felt a little excited.
He had a premonition that once he had downloaded and comprehended the Gongshu family's clan formation, his attainments in the art of formation would surely increase greatly.
In the following days, Lu Qing still played the role of an honest and simple weapon refining shop owner during the day.
At night, he would sneak out and continuously download information about the Gongshu family's clan defense formation from the walls of the inner city.
In the process of constantly downloading simulations and comprehension, Lu Qing's attainments in the art of formations also made rapid progress, and he showed signs of becoming a true master of formations.
After all, this is the powerful formation foundation of one of the thirty-six upper clans, which contains the hard work of countless formation masters of the Gongshu family over the past tens of thousands of years.
Now that Lu Qing was madly absorbing and swallowing it all, how could his attainments in formation not increase rapidly?
In this way, more than a month passed.
That night, Lu Qing was quietly meditating in the quiet room.
When the sky began to brighten, he suddenly opened his eyes and opened his palms, and the virtual Zhoutian City appeared on his palms again.
However, compared to a month ago, the formation patterns of this virtual Zhoutian City are much more complete and have covered 60% to 70% of the entire Zhoutian City.
"Unfortunately, after a month of downloading and simulating, we were able to replicate all the formation information contained on the inner city walls, but we only managed to reach 70% of the entire Zhoutian Star Formation."
Lu Qing looked at the virtual Zhoutian City in his hand and shook his head with some regret.
Now he has comprehended 70% of the formation of the entire Zhoutian City.
He was still missing the most core 30% of the formation, but because of the obstruction of the inner city walls, he could not access it or download it.
"However, 70% of the formation is enough for me to do a lot of things. Add to that the other gains I've made over the past month, and completing the assassination mission won't be a problem."
Although he gained a lot from comprehending the Gongshu family's clan formation,
But Lu Qing did not forget the real purpose of his sneaking into Zhoutian City.
Over the past few months, he has also been using various methods to find information about Gongshu Lian and Qiao Rong, and has now gained a lot.
Coupled with his understanding of the Zhoutian City formation, he has a great chance of assassinating these two people.
"It's said that Qiao Rong has been living in seclusion since Gongshu Yu's death. It's not just because she's afraid of the Nangong family's retaliation, but for other reasons as well. In short, she basically stays in the inner city and rarely comes out."
"But Gongshu Lian was different. Having exhausted his potential, he could no longer make further progress in his cultivation, so he turned to pleasure.
This person is a direct descendant of the Gongshu family, and he is also the ancestor of the Yuanshen family. In Zhoutian City, he can call the wind and rain and do whatever he wants.
I heard that every six months he would go to Mengyun Tower, the largest brothel in the outer city, and book the entire brothel to have fun.
This man had a violent temper. After every pleasure session, many women in Mengyun Tower would be raped to death by him, which made people shudder at the mention of him.
The next time Gongshu Lian came out was three days later."
Lu Qing's mind flashed with the information he had gathered over the past few months, and his eyes gradually grew colder.
After arriving in Zhoutian City, he knew that there was a bounty on the head for Gongshu Lian's assassination.
This man has indeed done a lot of evil. Over the years, countless women have died because of him.
This naturally caused some people to be dissatisfied.
Even though Gongshujia was so powerful, he did not dare to retaliate directly.
However, no one could stop him from secretly issuing an assassination mission in the Nether Palace.
After all, in the Tianyuan world, no force is willing to force the Nether Palace to reveal the employer's information.
As for someone like Gongshu Lian, Lu Qing naturally had no psychological burden when assassinating him.
Not to mention the grudge between him and Gongshu Jia, the evil deeds this man committed alone are enough to make him deserve death more than ten times.
"Three days later..."
Lu Qing whispered to himself, then closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the formation.
Although he is unable to obtain the most core 30% of the formation information of the Gongshu family's clan formation, the Zhoutian Star Formation, for the time being.
But in the past few days, the 70% formations he downloaded through comprehension have greatly enhanced his formation foundation.
Now, he is only one step away from becoming a true master of formations, who can turn the virtual into the real and create a formation with just a thought.
Three days later would be the best day to assassinate Gongshu Lian.
Although he is confident in his own strength.
But before that, every bit of strength we gain will increase our chances of success.
Time flies, and three days passed quickly.
Early that morning, Lu Qing hung a sign saying "Closed" at the door of his shop. (End of this chapter)
