…
"Hint: You have discovered the Black Heavenly Master Zhang Daoyun (Lv102/Elite/Degenerate Qi Refiner...)"
…
"There's actually someone here?"
Above the city wall.
Roger gave himself a powerful invisibility spell.
Then it flew lightly towards the square near the south gate.
In fact, even if there is no invisibility technique.
Roger's movements were also very unremarkable.
Because at this moment, the ruins of Dragon City were almost covered with dense black lotuses.
These black lotuses bloom quietly.
They are very close to each other.
If you look from a bird's eye view.
It was as if I saw extremely dense black fish scales.
Compared to the lotus flowers Roger saw in the southern part of Dragon City.
The black lotus here is three to five times larger in size!
Roger noticed.
At certain distances apart.
There will be an especially huge super lotus.
There is often a cold-blooded Taoist soldier holding a weapon guarding the center of the flower.
These Taoist soldiers were surrounded by three black auras.
…
The first is for immunity to fear;
The second can give them enough energy to last even without sleep;
The third one can provide extremely high defense value.
It can even be upgraded to the point of being invulnerable to swords and guns!
…
This is the Taoist soldier of the underworld!
Roger had seen the description of this kind of Taoist soldier in the knowledge of refining the five-form Taoist soldiers.
Compared to the Five Elements Taoist Soldiers.
The underworld's Taoist soldiers are more specialized.
They focus more on the field of killing.
Every soldier of the underworld is a born warrior.
They are fearless and experienced in many battles.
The data bar is displayed.
These underworld Taoist soldiers are proficient in at least three combined attack techniques and six formations that can be transformed into each other.
Although their strength is only extraordinary.
But if they unite together, even those who have been promoted may not dare to underestimate them!
…
Roger made a rough estimate.
There are currently more than 100 underworld soldiers dormant in Dragon City.
Generally speaking.
According to the requirements of the formation.
The number of Taoist soldiers here is about 109 or 110.
The extra ones are there to prevent the formation from collapsing due to the complete death of a certain Taoist soldier during a battle.
The commander of these Taoist soldiers is naturally the one in the center of the black lotus.
The man standing on a low platform!
The man was wearing a clean and tidy black robe.
He has a very handsome appearance.
He can be described as having starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows.
In his left hand he held a magic sword, and in his right hand he held a talisman.
Roger saw it clearly.
That talisman should be used to control the Taoist soldiers of the underworld.
As for the magic sword.
It is pitch black, made of strange material, and engraved with a budding lotus.
The purpose couldn't be more obvious.
…
"Are these black lotus and the Hades Taoist soldiers controlled by this Qi Refiner named Zhang Daoyun?"
Roger's heart moved.
"What about the disappeared demon?"
Without waiting for him to think about it.
The platform that Daoyun used to perform the ritual suddenly cracked in the middle.
The two sides are divided into two according to the yin and yang of the Bagua.
Immediately following.
Layer upon layer of ball cage-like structures are revealed under the platform.
There was a sickening stench in the cage.
As the cage continued to rise.
A shrill cry came out from it.
Roger took a closer look.
If the cage is not filled with the monsters that were previously wandering in the wilderness, then who else could it be?
"So this guy has captured all the demons? But what is his purpose? To refine the Taoist soldiers of the underworld? What does he need so many Taoist soldiers for? And demons in this situation should not conform to the rules for refining Taoist soldiers, right?"
Roger's heart warmed.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You discovered 8,700 monsters...
…
You found the magic weapon 'Beast Cage'
…
Beast Trapping Cage: A common magic weapon used to capture spirit beasts, usually with a large confinement space, which can be used to store an astonishing number of creatures...”
…
There are more than 8,000 monsters in total.
This was obviously a huge temptation for Roger.
But Roger was even more curious about the other party's background——
He didn't think that Zhang Daoyun himself was the ultimate controller of this black lotus.
Because for this kind of Qi Refiner who has just been promoted.
Controlling such a large number of underworld soldiers is actually a very difficult task.
He may be attacked back by the Taoist soldiers at any time.
Not to mention that while controlling the Taoist soldiers, he also released black lotuses all over Longcheng!
So he endured it.
In the end, he didn't take action.
He just threw a few magic marks on a few of the monsters.
For future tracking.
…
On the terrace.
Zhang Daoyun waved the magic sword in his hand violently.
He was also muttering to himself.
Along with his movements.
The cage keeps rising.
Soon it rose to a height of more than ten stories in the air.
Immediately following.
A gust of wind blew by.
Roger saw a hideous-looking monster lurking in the wind.
In a flash.
The ghost stretched out a blue-gray claw.
He grabbed the cage that trapped the beast.
In the blink of an eye, the cage disappeared.
The wind gradually faded away.
There is peace and tranquility between heaven and earth.
All that could be heard on the balcony was Zhang Daoyun's panting.
…
"Hint: Zhang Daoyun borrowed the 'Sky Devil Moving Technique'..."
…
"You discovered the Dragon City Geomancy Map..."
…
The Heavenly Ghost Moving Technique is definitely not a spell that Zhang Daoyun can control.
This guy clearly showed a hint of fear when the Sky Ghost appeared.
This shows that there is indeed someone else behind this matter.
Roger took this opportunity to go upstairs quietly.
He came behind Zhang Daoyun.
And on the table where the other party cast the spell, he saw a Dragon City Fengshui map!
It records in detail the topography and terrain around Longcheng.
Even several nearby cities are fully described!
also.
This feng shui map also records the distribution of monsters in detail.
Generally speaking, places where there are many monsters are represented by red.
And where the red dots are densely packed.
It basically matches the places where black lotuses are densely packed in Roger's memory.
…
"So Zhang Daoyun is probably doing something for someone else. The people behind him are using the black lotus and the sky ghosts to transport and frantically collect monsters..."
"This is too much of a coincidence... I just started to attack the monsters, and a competitor appeared over there. It's as if monsters are a new species. No one has touched them for hundreds of years..."
Roger secretly complained.
He always felt that there was something fishy behind this matter.
Even if it wasn't the Blue Blood King's doing.
This must be a trap set by some old coin.
Of course, this situation may not be aimed at me.
After all, no one knows about my experience in investing in magic weapons.
"Let's go over and take a look. Zhang Daoyun is just a pawn and not worth mentioning..."
Thinking so.
Roger prepared to follow the direction of the divine mark.
But at this moment.
Zhang Daoyun, who was resting on the balcony, suddenly shouted:
“Who’s there!?”
Roger remained calm.
distance.
A black lotus withered silently.
Revealing a young face.
That was a young boy.
He had two swords on his back and one in his hand.
The sword in his hand emitted a white fluorescent light.
Roger knew that the white fluorescence had an invisible effect.
This young man probably wanted to use invisibility to get away with it.
But I didn’t expect that Zhang Daoyun would find out.
…
"It's you?!"
See that boy.
Zhang Daoyun's expression became extremely gloomy:
"Why are you here? Do you want to kill yourself ?"
"The ruins of Dragon City are not your territory. What's wrong with me coming over to take a look? Oh, you want to kill me just for taking a look. What's the logic behind this?"
The young man retorted unconvinced.
Zhang Daoyun's expression was slightly distorted:
"Reason? You want to reason with me?! Black Star Gate is not a place for reason! How about I kill you and turn your body into a soldier of the underworld, and then I can reason with you?"
The boy's face turned pale.
But still persisted and did not retreat:
"Then come and kill me! Come on!"
Zhang Daoyun had a sullen face and remained silent.
He stared at the boy intently.
After a while.
The magic sword in his hand was suddenly thrown to the ground.
"Let's go, Bai Ming, the farther away from Dragon City the better..."
Zhang Daoyun suddenly said.
"You know I won't kill you, but...but if someone else sees it, the situation will be different..."
"For your own good, please go a little further away..."
Hearing this.
The tone of the young man named Bai Ming also softened.
But his eyes remained firm:
"I won't leave. This is my mission..."
"What kind of bullshit mission is this?! The sky is about to fall, and you are still thinking about your mission!"
Zhang Daoyun couldn't help but curse:
"Tyrodar deceived us. All six major sects were destroyed! The ones left are real monsters!"
"This planet is doomed, not just Dragon City. Do you understand? What you want to do is simply impossible! This is not just because you are too weak, but because of the enemy... the enemy..."
Speaking of this.
Zhang Daoyun's voice suddenly stopped.
His eyes became extremely confused.
His expression became more bitter:
"It's because we can't even tell who the real enemy is..."
This was followed by a long sigh.
Zhang Daoyun sat down on the stage.
His expression became even more depressed.
Bai Ming's face didn't look good either.
He pursed his lips.
Finally, there is still some spirit: "No matter who the enemy is, we will defeat him; if we can't, let us die in his hands... This is the purpose of our self-help association!"
"Alright, alright... This slogan may be enough to fool a little brat like you..."
Zhang Daoyun smiled disdainfully:
"Do you really believe that your kid doesn't have his own plans?!"
"Maybe he's just using you..."
"No! Brother Lou is a good man..."
Bai Ming said firmly:
"I've always been good at judging people - just like I've always thought you're a good person..."
"A good person?"
Zhang Daoyun laughed at himself:
"If I were a good person, I would never do those things... Among those monsters that were just sent away, many were martial artists from Dragon City. Although they have become monsters, their crimes are not serious enough..."
"It's not your fault."
Bai Ming said silently:
"It's all because your sect leader is so evil!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Daoyun shouted:
"Don't mention that man, don't even mention any words related to him!"
The boy shrank his head.
The expression is still stubborn.
But he kept his mouth shut.
"What on earth are you doing here?!"
The atmosphere eased slightly.
Zhang Daoyun asked with a frown.
“Let me make it clear in advance - there is no way I will join your self-help group. Firstly, I don’t like that pretentious little brat. Secondly, I have that thing growing in my body too, and there is no way I can get rid of the Black Star Sect in this lifetime. Thirdly, I sincerely think that I may have a better future in the Black Star Sect than in your self-help group…”
Hearing this.
The boy's expression suddenly became gloomy.
Obviously.
One of the purposes of his visit to Zhang Daoyun was to persuade him to join the self-help association.
Unfortunately, this one has been rejected by the other party.
So he straightened out his wording.
Seriously said:
"I came here to steal the key to the Dragon City Underground Palace from you..."
"Dragon City Underground Palace?"
Zhang Daoyun frowned even more:
"That damn place can't even support demons. There are those ... Why are you going to the underground palace?"
The boy remained silent.
"With your mediocre invisibility skills, you still want to learn to steal things from others?"
Zhang Daoyun sneered twice.
Then he said seriously:
"If you don't explain the situation clearly, you won't be able to steal the key to the underground palace..."
The boy hesitated for a while.
Gritting his teeth, he said:
…
“Our boss said that if our plan fails, we must have a way out after all… You also said that this is a problem for the entire planet.
Our boss discovered from an ancient book that we came from the planet Quinan.
At that time, the star Kuinan encountered strange changes in heaven and earth, and its spiritual energy was cut off.
The situation may be different now.
And even if there is no spiritual energy.
At least there aren't any of those messy monsters.
So we are going to make a retreat plan..."
…
"You guys are going to Quinan?"
Zhang Daoyun looked surprised.
"It's just a way out... But if we're going to Quinan, will you join us?"
Bai Ming asked unwillingly.
"No! I just think you are fanciful..."
Zhang Daoyun packed his clothes lazily.
He casually hung a bunch of brass keys on the outer end of his belt.
…
"I have no interest in your plan!
Moreover, the upgraded version of the Jiuzhou Tower Ship that can cross the starry sky is located in the burial forest in the northeast corner of the third floor of the underground palace.
There are many mechanisms and pottery warriors buried there.
Maybe there are big snakes and Hades' heads appearing...
If there was no yellow paper stained with the blood of the mythical beast Bifang.
It’s impossible to get through safely…”
…
"I'm sleepy, please leave quickly!"
Speaking of.
Zhang Daoyun rested his chin on his hand and dozed off.
The boy's eyes were filled with gratitude.
Immediately.
He tightened his grip on the sword.
Entered stealth mode.
After a while.
There was a tinkling sound on the balcony.
Zhang Daoyun narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Have you taken it? Go and come back quickly!"
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
A muffled hum was heard in the air:
"No! I haven't come yet! What's the matter?"
???
Zhang Daoyun shuddered suddenly.
He looked at his empty waist.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes hard.
…
