Chapter 160: Refining Water into Ice to Support Mirage! [First Update!] Gaoliu Castle, inner city, Liuzun Temple. Today, the temple has been arranged in various ways, and there are a large number of guards, and the formation is solemn. All of you who burn incense should perform your duties and not slack off. It was because the Grand Lord of Canyu Mansion came to the temple in person to burn incense to Liu Zun. Among the twelve temple priests of the temple, except the chief temple priest and the fifth temple priest who was on duty in the Guantian Tower, the other ten temple priests had all gathered. "The Palace Master is thoughtful." The second temple keeper said softly, "It's a pity that Liu Zun is already sleeping at this time of year, otherwise he would have been blessed by divine light." “It’s alright. I’m not here for Liu Zun’s blessing.” The Lord of Canyu Palace stroked his beard and said with a smile, “I just respect Liu Zun. He protects the people of this city and keeps the human race safe. He deserves three incense sticks from me.” "With the master's cultivation, today's three incense sticks are better than the incense of tens of thousands of people." The second temple keeper bowed slowly: "The chief temple keeper is at a critical moment and cannot come out. I would like to thank the master of the palace for offering incense on his behalf." "I'll do my best, that's what I should do."
The Lord of the Canyu Mansion waved his hand, looked outside, and asked, "What are these buckets of things?" "Ten days ago, I ordered the whole city to collect dew, and added a drop of true god dew to every bucket of dew." "True divine dew? It was collected from Liu Zun's body?" "Exactly." "Looking at this, is it going to be transported out of the city?" "It will be transported outside the inner city wall, and the great city guard will use his true energy to remove the heat, refine it into ice, and receive the mirage." "Are they preparing for tomorrow's battle?" The Lord of the Canyu Palace couldn't help but exclaimed: "By using this dew to melt the ice and guide the divine mirror on the Guantian Tower to reflect it, people in the outer city can watch the battle without having to go to the battlefield in person." "That's right." The second temple keeper nodded slightly. "Since the 'new method' was introduced to Qifeng Mansion, all kinds of miraculous methods are truly amazing." The Lord of Canyu Mansion exclaimed. "The spread of the new law will truly benefit mankind." The second temple keeper also sighed. "It seems that I have to send people to Qifeng Mansion to learn the new method." The Lord of Canyu Mansion said this, and then said: "Have you decided on the place for tomorrow's battle? I heard it is Linjiangfang in the outer city?" "The number of people coming this time is beyond our expectations. It's too lively and too chaotic." The second temple keeper said with a smile, "Initially, it was scheduled to be held in Linjiangfang, but no matter whether it was people in the city or visitors from outside the city, they all flocked to the square. There were too many people and it was difficult to accommodate them, so the place for the battle has been decided to be in the inner city." "Since we are in the inner city, we need to refine water into ice, guide the divine light, and reflect the mirage?" The Lord of the Canyu Palace asked, "Such a vast inner city can't accommodate so many people?" "Since its construction, Gaoliu City has been built to protect the human race. The city already has a large population, and adding so many visitors is really too much of a burden." The second temple keeper's tone was slightly tense, and he continued: "There are too many people, and everything is chaotic, so we need to separate them... Besides, we also have to guard against disasters." "Is such a big investment worth it?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Canyu Palace looked thoughtful. "Business has been booming in Gaoliu City recently, and even street vendors have made a lot of money." The second temple keeper laughed and said, "The City Guardian Office attaches great importance to this battle!" "A letter of challenge from Emperor Li Shenzong and a fight between two little guys have caused such a big commotion." The Lord of the Canyu Palace was thoughtful and said to himself, "Is the harvest so great?" -
Linjiang Division. Yang Zhubu looked haggard and his hair was messy. Meng Lu, Feng Hui, Zou Jin, Zheng Liu and others were also quite tired. "The Day Patrol and the Night Patrol are both short-handed recently and cannot assist us." Xiaohui said in a low voice. "Is it because we followed the orders of the Fifth Master to arrest the Fang Zheng and the people from the Outer South Yamen?" Yang Zhubu frowned. "They don't dare. After all, Master Wu's reputation as a killer is there." Xiao Hui whispered, "We are really short of manpower." "What about the city defense?" asked Yang Zhubu. "The city defenses are exhausted and stretched to the limit." Meng Lu whispered. "It's already like this, but the Outer South Division didn't send any more people, and the City Defense Office didn't send any more people?" Yang Zhubu pondered and said, "It seems that the place of the agreed battle is not in our Linjiangfang." "Many people who came to Gaoliu City came for the reputation of Fifth Master. Linjiangfang has been overcrowded recently and can't accommodate them." Zou Jin is an old hand, and he pondered, "Maybe he was assigned to the inner city." "Since we can't ask for help, you little flags, please work harder today!" Yang Zhubu rubbed his brows and said, "Fifth Master said before that the Inner City General Building has transferred two flag bearers and twenty-four little flags. They are under the Fifth Master's command and will assist our Linjiang Division. We will be fine until tonight." "It's okay if it's a bit hard." Meng Lu paused and said, "It's just that I didn't get to see the Fifth Master display his divine power and fight against the Small Divine Sect. It's really a regret in this life." "I guessed you guys were like this!" A laugh came from outside. It was Lin Xiaoqi, who was transformed from the little white ape. He said, "Fifth Master asked Xu Qing from the Outer South Division to bring a piece of ice from the temple. It's in Linjiangfang, so you can watch the fight." "Where is Master Wu?" Yang Zhubu hurried forward. "Retreat and prepare for war." Lin Xiaoqi came closer and whispered, "I came here this time on the orders of the Fifth Master." Yang Zhubu said quickly: "The land deed has been obtained." Lin Xiaoqi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said, "Send a message to the City Guard Office. It is the Fifth Master's duty to guard Linjiang Division and supervise the expansion of the outer city... He cannot leave his post without permission." Yang Zhubu was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Fifth Master, what... do you mean?" Lin Xiaoqi responded, "What I mean is, when will it be someone else's turn to decide the venue for the fight? The Fifth Master is in Linjiangfang and has no intention of leaving his jurisdiction. If the Little Divine Sect wants to fight, they can go to Linjiangfang!" "what?" Yang Zhubu was stunned at first, but then he understood something. His eyes lit up slightly and he whispered, "So Master Wu means that we have to ask the City Guard Office to pay more money?" "Nonsense!" Lin Xiaoqi scolded, "Talking about money is vulgar. Is Fifth Master a vulgar person?" "What's so good about it?" Yang Zhubu asked in a low voice. “Things like phoenix blood and ancient jade are not vulgar things.” Lin Xiaoqi responded. "I understand." Yang Zhubu suddenly understood.
"Fifth Master has instructed us not to give too many. Just report a dozen or twenty to the City Defense Office. That will be enough," said Lin Xiaoqi. "I've heard of this thing. It's extremely precious. It's a treasure for anyone in the Refining Essence Realm. Even if you search the entire Gaoliu City, you may not be able to get it all." Yang Zhubu hesitated. "It's all gathered." Lin Xiaoqi laughed and said, "The commander has intercepted a message that someone brought twelve Phoenix Blood Ancient Jades from Qifeng City... That person will never let this battle stop. He will do his best to start this battle!" - Lu Gong's courtyard. Lin Yan is already in seclusion. On the other side of the Dayin River, the ninth priest of the Wutong Temple borrowed three ancient phoenix blood jades from several guard commanders. His attainment in the Three Sources of Qi and the Five Elements Refining Treasure Record was already extremely profound. As long as his Qi and blood were sufficient, he could complete the refining of essence into Qi many times overnight. "Not bad." Lin Yan looked at the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade in his hand with a satisfied look. He began to practice in seclusion, refining his essence into Qi again. And in the courtyard. Mr. Lu put down the two invitations, laughed, and said, "There are quite a few people." "The other one was brought from Wainansi." Lu Tang muttered, "It's for Wuchang." "The banquet in the inner city was hosted by the City Guard Office, and many important people were invited." Lord Lu stroked his beard and said, "It is rare for the great city governor of Gaoliu City to come out of seclusion and hold a banquet." Tonight's banquet will be attended by high-ranking officials from Gaoliu City's City Defense Office and high-ranking officials from various city guard units. The ancestors, patriarchs, and veterans of the six major families in Gaoliu City. The temple priests, a few older generation incense burners with special status, and the new generation of outstanding descendants. The commander of the Tianjiansi, three deputy commanders, eight garrison commanders, and the extremely special general flag commander. As for the outside world, there were the lord of Canyu Prefecture, Deputy City Guard Shi of Qifeng Prefecture, several officials from Fengcheng, and the chief of the City Guard Prefecture from Licheng. "This invitation is for Mr. Lu, and the other one is for Wu Chang." Lu Tang curled his lips and thought, "The City Guard is blind. They didn't even send me an invitation!" Lord Lu laughed and asked, "Is there no invitation to the Little Divine Sect?" Lu Tang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Won't the Little Divine Sect enter Linjiangfang from the South Gate tomorrow morning and head to the place of the agreed battle?" "Yes, he won't show up until tomorrow morning, but that won't stop him from visiting all the brothels in Gaoliu City in the next two days." Lord Lu chuckled and said, "He went to the Chunxiao Tower in Linjiangfang three times, each time using a different identity and ordering the same courtesan... This kid is more outgoing than Emperor Li Shenzong back then!" Lu Tang was shocked and said, "It is rumored that Xu Dingye is an ascetic who has been in seclusion for many years..." Lord Lu looked calm and said, "After all, he is the favorite disciple of Emperor Li Shenzong and is known as the most talented person of the time. You can't say that he is drunk and stays in a brothel all year round, right?"
"Is the brothel so good?" Lu Tang seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Since Xu Dingye is an old hand, why did he go there three times in a row? I heard that Wuchang was also a frequent visitor to Chunxiaolou in his early years? What's so magical about that Gemei?" "You're talking to me about this?" Mr. Lu raised his head and said calmly, "Get lost!" Lu Tang scratched his head and walked out. Lord Lu shook his head slightly, looking at the files sent from Qifeng Prefecture, and thought to himself: "Even if Lin Yan already has the Yin Soldier Order, it is not easy to completely perfect the method of suppressing evil spirits..." - Outer South Division. General Han glanced at the sword on the table, seeming to be in deep thought. "After all, I am a junior. There is no need for you to draw your sword against me, right?" The young man opposite laughed, patted the sword at his waist, and said, "Although Xu feels that you may not be my opponent now, it is not appropriate for us to fight this." "It is indeed inappropriate. I am not suitable to intervene in the fight between your generation." General Han placed the file in his hand on his sword and said, "If I injure you, it would be unjust!" "Weren't you planning to injure me just now so that he would have a better chance of winning tomorrow?" Xu Dingye smiled and said, "I heard that Shi Sen, that loser, had his head chopped off by Wu Chang." "From what I understand, Shi Sen is not weak in the Refining Essence Realm." "I think your proud successor is not as rumored, who was lucky enough to be promoted to the Refining Essence Realm after ten thousand years of emptiness." "Now, Deputy City Guard Shi is going to give me twelve pieces of Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade and a Cloud Thunder Sword, so that I can kill him." After the voice fell, Xu Dingye slowly said, "What do you think?" Han Zongqi's tone was normal and he said calmly, "Just one thing, if he dies, I guarantee that you will not be able to return to Qifeng City." "I heard that you value Wuchang because you think he is extremely talented and will be the backbone of the human race in the future." Xu Dingye said with a smile: "If I were stronger than him, I would be the backbone of the human race, and you would not kill me!" Mr. Han had a blank expression on his face, and the scar between his eyebrows was faintly red. "Xu Dingye, you came here from the brothel just to make me angry?" "Not really. My master asked me to come and see if you've been living like a dog these past few years." "Now that you've seen it, you can go away. Don't force me to draw my sword." "Then let's go." Xu Dingye stood up, waved his hand, and said, "By the way, your disciple has too little experience. The romantic places in Gaoliu City are not very good and are not worth him lingering."
After a pause, Xu Dingye spoke up: "Since the battle site is set in the inner city, I will not follow the original route and appear in Linjiangfang. I will stay in Yinghua Tower in the inner city tonight." "General Han, remember to tell Wuchang to arrive before noon and don't be late." "Also, Xu didn't want to kill him, but since everyone was watching, it was difficult to hold back." "To avoid accidental killing, you should prepare a set of fine steel armor tonight for protection." "I won't mock him about this armor tomorrow." Xu Dingye waved his hand with a smile and walked out. General Han's face was gloomy, and he watched his leaving back quietly. After a while, Xu Qing walked in with a complicated expression, closed the door, and was about to say a few words of comfort. But General Han, the flag bearer, suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud. "..." Xu Qing was shocked and thought to himself, oh no, could it be that General Han was insulted by the Little Divine Sect and became so angry that he lost his mind? "Xu Qing, have you counted my assets?" "We have checked them out and can move them anytime." Xu Qing said, "Are you planning to move out of Gaoliu City?" "Transfer to the gambling house!" Han Zongqi Envoy said, "In your name, the victory will come!" "What?" Xu Qing was shocked when he heard that, and said quickly: "That's Xu Dingye of the Little Divine Sect, how could he lose? Isn't this just a fight of pride? Are you giving money to the gambling house?" "Wu Chang's current cultivation level is probably enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with me." Han Zongqi calmed his expression and said slowly, "Besides, I had someone spread the news that Wuchang was lingering in Chunxiao Tower. As expected, Xu Dingye went to Chunxiao Tower three times. I guess he will not be in good spirits tomorrow! Wuchang is still practicing in seclusion tonight... As the saying goes, one gains, the other loses, and the chances of winning are very high!" He stood up, looked outside the building, and whispered, "This battle will only last a few hours." (End of this chapter)
