Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 425 Assassination
As soon as Xu Yuan and Lou Ji entered the secret room, the sensor-type inscription light immediately turned on.

The center of Huizhou County's city defense array is composed of a cave about [-] to [-] feet deep. The whole cave is rectangular. The walls are neatly repaired with special stones, and there are stone stairs spiraling downward at the edge.

Through the light emitted by the inscription lamp, the countless mysterious formations engraved at the bottom of the cave can be vaguely seen.

Walking along the stone stairs to the bottom, their footsteps echoed in the empty crypt.

As he gradually approached the bottom, Xu Yuan looked at the flickering lines of formations, and couldn't help but express a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Together, the formation is truly an ingenious creation of the human race.

His spiritual vision only took a cursory glance and he noticed the huge power contained in it.

"Sister, is this Huizhou County's city defense formation really just for Ding and others?"

Lou Ji's pair of high-heeled lotus boots on her plump jade legs clicked crisply on the ground. She walked to the center and poured Yuan Qi into it. Without answering, she asked:

"First time seeing the center of the city defense formation?"

Xu Yuan looked at the thick formations that gradually lit up around him, illuminating the entire crypt:
"Before, I basically stayed in the military camp in Beifeng City and never went to the formation center."

"That's true."

Lou Ji murmured, doing two things at once. While checking the city protection formation through the central inspection, she replied with a chuckle: "A county-level city is naturally a D-level formation. The C-level formation consumes too many resources, and a county-level city is too large." It’s a lot, and now the imperial court’s finances can’t support such a large expenditure.”

The formation has evolved together to this day, and there are countless side branches, but they are generally divided into ten levels according to the strength and weakness of the heavenly stem sequence.

Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui are the lower six grades. Folks and wealthy businessmen can engrave them on their own in their mansions. Common ones are such as the sound-avoiding array and the spirit-locking array.

A, B, B, and D are the upper four levels. They are used by the imperial court and the city defense formations of all levels of counties in Dayan are included in this list.

As an administrative unit at the county level, Huizhou County's city protection formation is Ding level, which is the weakest among the weakest military levels.

But no matter how weak it is, it is still the city's main battle array, and its most basic requirement is to be able to withstand the powerful ones at the metamorphosis level.

This is the most important link in the system built by the Dayan Dynasty to maintain the stability of the world.

It has been built bit by bit since the founding of the country, and until today, the city defense formation has covered all the cities in Great Yan.

It can not only prevent rebels from attacking the city, but also prevent high-level cultivators from causing rebellion to a certain extent.

The experience of the ancients is yes.

But when things came to pass, Xu Yuan felt that the ancient experience was a bit unreliable.

The ability of Ding and other large formations to guard against those who are at the metamorphosis level is entirely theoretical.

It is indeed not difficult to deal with transformation when the formation is well preserved and fully operational. But if a strong person of this level really wants to cause trouble, who would be stupid enough not to wait for you to fully activate the formation before taking action?

Moreover, formation maintenance is also a problem.

Just like now.
Xu Yuan saw the murderous intent on the face of the elder sister next to him.

When a possible assassination was imminent, the purpose of their visit to this small town in Huizhou County was actually very simple.

First, this city's communication crystal conceals the existence of the Tianxun crystal. If Feng Jiuxuan did not come here, it would be a bit strange for Feng Jiuxuan to directly come to help.

Second, try to use the city defense formation here to resist the possible assassination.

But looking at Lou Ji's current expression, their second goal has probably failed.
Xu Yuan's tone was slightly solemn:

"Is there something wrong with the formation?"

"."

Lou Ji took a deep breath and turned her eyes, with a hint of helplessness:
"Changtian, if you didn't kill those people, they would have to die now."

Xu Yuan's heart sank slightly.

Okay, it seems something is really wrong.

And judging from the serious tone used by this old lady, the problems in the Huizhou County city defense formation should be quite big.

Xu Yuan subconsciously thought of Chu Lingchi.

The spirit storage pool is a supporting facility built in every city defense formation. During peacetime, it continuously absorbs the source energy of heaven and earth to gather artificial spiritual liquid, and even artificial source crystals, and stores them for wartime needs.

Most officials in the border city dare not touch this thing. After all, if there is an alien attack, the reserve of spiritual liquid source crystal in the spirit storage pool is a life-saving straw.

But in the peaceful area of ​​​​the Central Plains, this Chuling Pond is the hardest hit area by corruption.

After all, even if you rule for decades, you may not see a war, but spiritual liquid is a good thing worth thousands of gold. Whether you use it to practice for yourself or your family, or buy it out, it is a good choice.

think of this,
Xu Yuan touched his Sumeru Ring and said loudly: "If the spiritual fluid in the spirit storage pool is exhausted, there are still a lot of remaining source crystals in my Sumeru Ring, which should be enough to maintain this city defense formation."

"There is indeed not much spiritual fluid left in the spirit storage pool. That's not the problem."

Lou Ji interrupted Xu Yuan's words and pointed to the thick, glowing formations at her feet:

"There are a total of seventeen formation hubs in the city protection formation here. All source energy channels have to move to all parts of the city through these hubs. But now two of them have completely lost their response, and seven are semi-paralyzed. In such a state, there are only eight hubs that can operate normally.”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan, who had already understood some of the principles of the formation through the fourth sister, couldn't help but jump at the corners of his eyes.

This bastard is tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Materials related to the path of cultivation are extremely valuable, and with the current level of wear and tear on Huizhou County's city defense array, it is only a few hundred thousand taels.

Anyway, there is no war, and there is no need for the city defense formation. It is better to directly bribe the formation master to help him lie, and then use the money to manage things up and down, and do some political achievements that can be seen to benefit the people, and he can still use the remaining money. Greedy for ink.

Win-win, oh no, win-win three.

A world where it benefits the country and the people and no one gets hurt is achieved.

Xu Yuan wanted to know the reason and immediately asked:

"Then shall we leave immediately and continue southward?"

Nine of the seventeen formation hubs are broken. Now the entire city defense formation in Huizhou County is like a sieve. Concentrating all the power of the formation into one point may pose a slight threat to the transformation, but as long as the powerful transformation is patiently surrounded. After walking around Huizhou County once or twice, it was not difficult for them to find dozens of weak points and break through the formation with their eyesight.

Staying here, the city defense formation will not have any protective effect.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at Lou Ji with a strange look.

He thought of another possibility.

If they open a large formation here and the group of people from Jiantian Pavilion dare to directly break the formation, it will be a rebellion.

In this season when etiquette and music have not yet collapsed, if this hat is put on.
"No, we'll leave immediately."

Lou Ji could tell what Xu Yuan was thinking at a glance, and refused directly before he could speak: "It is impossible for ordinary people to know my whereabouts, but Changtian, don't forget, that saint knows clearly that I am following By your side."

"Tian Yan probably won't."

"boom!"

Lou Ji's charming eyes flashed with a smile, she raised her hand and hit Xu Yuan's head.

Xu Yuan rubbed his forehead in pain.

"Are you awake?"

Lou Ji looked at him and asked with a chuckle:

"Sister, I hope that girl won't do it, but now we have to assume that she will do it as a countermeasure."

"." Xu Yuan was silent.

Even with portable communications such as Tianxun Yuanjing, Feng Jiuxuan and Xu Changge's speed from the Imperial Capital to their place should not be faster than those of those from Supervisory Sky Pavilion.

And if the other party dares to attack when Lou Ji is with him, it means that there is someone in the other party's group who can hold Lou Ji back.

As long as Lou Ji is held back, even if there is only one Yuanchu left to deal with his condensed soul, it will be more than enough.
Lou Ji’s voice was faint:

"Changtian, I hope you will put your own life first in the future. Let alone a rebel hat, even if the Jiantian Pavilion is destroyed, it will not be as important as your life." Xu Yuan nodded silently and asked:

"Since we are leaving, where are Li Yunqing and the others?"

"Their target is you. As long as I take you away, they will be safe."

"No, that guy Li Yunqing should have some trump cards. I think we can bring him along."

"." Lou Ji.

After a moment of silence, Lou Ji did not agree to the proposal:

"Sister, I will take you away at my speed. Those who focus on escaping will most likely not be able to catch up."

Lou Ji had a high opinion of the third prince, but she was unwilling to bet on the other party's possible trump card.

Xu Yuan's eyes looked a little regretful when he heard this.

It seems that I can't trick that Yakuza this time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Lou Ji suddenly sent a voice message and asked:
"Changtian, is Luo Xiran really trustworthy?"

In this situation, she must eliminate all possible dangers.

"Trustworthy."

Regarding this issue, Xu Yuan did not hesitate at all.

Now that the original White Walkers have become extinct, it is almost impossible for Luo Xiran to recreate him to verify her lifelong research. With this, she will not watch him die.

"it is good."

Lou Ji's voice was also crisp and clear. After responding, she immediately said:
"Senior Luo, please protect Changtian's physical body. If you take action, I may not have time to worry about Changtian."

The sound echoed in the empty secret room crypt.

After a moment of silence, Luo Xiran's gentle voice came out lightly from the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant on Xu Yuan's chest:
"You don't need to remind me."

words fell,

When Xu Yuanzheng was confused, a stream of cool silk spread from the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant on his chest, covering his whole body almost instantly.

Black Death Fungi.

The familiar touch made Xu Yuan immediately realize that this was Luo Xiran forming armor on the controller's carpet to protect him.

But soon, Xu Yuan discovered the difference this time.

This cool touch did not stop at the surface of his skin, but gradually penetrated into his body through various acupuncture points.

"This is."

"You brat's body is too weak. With Mr. Lou's cultivation, if he takes you forward at full speed, you will be seriously injured."

Yes, deep sea accelerating fluid.

Xu Yuan knew it in his heart and did not resist.

Feeling the creeping bacteria creeping deeper and deeper into his body, Xu Yuan realized that his body might have been transformed into a ghost, and he didn't feel much rejection of the creeping bacteria.

He even had a vague instinct in his heart that he could control these creeps.
The huge secret room was quiet for a few breaths, and Luo Xiran's voice quietly sounded again:
"All right."

Before he finished speaking, there was a strong tugging sensation that made Xu Yuan's eyes dazzle.

When his vision returned again, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that he had come out of the secret room.

Above the head is the boundless blue sky, and below is Huizhou County, bustling with fireworks.

He glanced around in a daze, and after Xu Yuan realized where he was, he silently hugged his elder sister's jade necklace as white as a swan.

It’s the princess hug again, but it’s not the first time anyway.

and,

The soul condensing powerhouse was hugged by the semi-saint powerhouse princess, which was not shabby.

Thinking back to the original strong man in the fantasy world, he had hugged many people, and he was the one who hugged them.
Stalling in the air for a moment, Lou Ji instantly turned into a purple light and rushed towards the sky.

But this galloping only lasted for a moment.
Xu Yuan's vision spun rapidly and then stopped suddenly. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Lou Ji's figure had stopped at the edge of Huizhou County.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan didn't have any doubts in his heart and just sank.

Lou Ji will not stop for no reason.

And as he thought,
In the next instant,

The bright sky suddenly darkened, and a dazzling star-like light group lit up from the top of a hill several miles away from Huizhou County!
The light group turned into a beam of light in an instant, cut through the void and shot towards Huizhou County.

And its trajectory is exactly where Lou Ji was galloping just now!
If Lou Ji's figure hadn't suddenly stopped, she and Xu Yuan would have directly collided with this long-planned beam.

The beam of light passed through the void and passed by the two of them, shooting towards the distant sky.

One breath,
"boom!!!!"

The strong wind surged, and a loud bang resounded directly throughout the sky!

Be quiet for a moment,
The shaking of the earth caused chaos to instantly erupt in the county town below.

Incomprehensible shouts and frightened curses instantly filled every corner of Huizhou County.

Lou Ji, who was standing in the air, didn't make any movement, looking expressionlessly at the top of the hill where the beam of light came from.

There, a woman in a black dress with a mask slowly floated into the air. As her dress fluttered, her slender legs were looming.

Seeing this scene, Lou Ji pulled Xu Yuan off her body and threw him into the air.

"." Xu Yuan.

The green eyes gradually glowed with deep purple light, and a real murderous intention began to surround Lou Ji.

assassination,

it has started.

The sunlight fell like a waterfall on the courtyard in the deep alley, falling on Li Yunqing and the enchanting woman who were rubbing their hair together on the stone table.

The sudden loud noise that resounded through the sky frightened Li Yunqing. He hurriedly took his palms out of the woman's open skirt and looked up in the direction of the sound.

When the enchanting woman beneath him saw this, she said in a breathless voice:
"Your Highness, those people seem to be here."

When Li Yunqing heard this, he looked at the sky, then at the charming woman under him, and smacked his lips:
"Tsk, it'll be fine soon."

Having said that, he prepared to continue the sexual intercourse with skillful movements. He quite liked what this woman had learned through the training of his elder brother, and he had to be gentle with her one last time.
"Boom!"

Before his thoughts could stop, an afterimage crashed straight into the courtyard, collapsing the pavilion on the side and raising a puff of smoke.

Xu Yuan rubbed his head and stood up from the hole. He was not injured due to the protection of the armor, but the rapid fall still made him a little dizzy.

However, in his mind, he recalled the beam-like technique he had just seen, as well as the woman in the black dress.

That woman made him feel familiar.
thinking,

Get up and look around,
then,

"." Li Yunqing.

"." Xu Yuan.
