Chapter 516 Locked
General Zhenxi’s Mansion, study.
Curtains made of interwoven immortal powers hung down, covering the entire study room tightly without revealing any trace of breath.
Gou Huan was continuously inputting pure immortal energy into two fragments as big as copper coins, his forehead covered with sweat.
The incomplete rune on the fragment was faintly rotating like a stream of light, emitting a trace of extremely mysterious and ancient aura.
It was when the rune was spinning like a stream of light that Qin Ziling sensed the existence of the fragment.
However, Gou Huan could not sense Qin Ziling's fragment because he had not found the secret to refining the fragment.
And even if he had refined the fragments, Qin Ziling had already put them into the Immortal Palace for nurturing. Without urging them, he would not be able to sense them.
Today, the runes were spinning like flowing light for a longer time than before. The fire dragon that Gou Huan "saw" in the distant void seemed clearer and bigger, and the breath of ancient vicissitudes seemed stronger.
The incomplete rune finally solidified on the fragments, motionless.
However, Gou Huan no longer showed the disappointment and anger of yesterday, but his face was full of surprise and expectation.
"Great, things have finally changed! Haha!" Gou Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The laughter lasted a long time before stopping.
Gou Huan waved his hand, and the fairy curtain in the study disappeared.
"Come in!" Gou Huan said lightly after the curtain disappeared.
"General!" The person who came in was the old man with goatee, Lu Yu.
"Why, did that kid look for you?" Gou Huan asked with a smile, leaning back in the chair behind the desk.
He is in a good mood today.
Fifty years of hard work finally seemed to be paying off.
"General, no, that kid has been wandering around the city with his men all day today." Lu Yu replied.
"Oh!" Gou Huan's smile gradually faded upon hearing this, and he said with a hint of coldness, "Does he think that he can easily suppress Duanmusong and compete with the True Immortal?"
"Do you need me to go and talk to him?" Lu Yu asked.
"Although that kid has some skills, he won't make much difference to me either with or without him. He is ignorant and arrogant. If you go, he will feel more powerful and it will seem like I can't do without him." Gou Huan said.
"I understand. Let the Floating Island and the Blood Cloud Island deal with him. We can also kill Lian Yixiang's son at the same time." Lu Yu bowed, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
"How does this matter involve Blood Cloud Island again?" Gou Huan showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.
To Gou Huan, Tu Liao's attack on Qingyun Island more than two years ago was just a minor incident. There were people who would take care of it, so there was no need to report it to him.
Lu Yu roughly explained to Gou Huan what happened more than two years ago.
"So that's how it is. It seems this boy must have some attainments in formations and wants to use them to keep the enemy out." Gou Huan said.
"With their island protection formation, even though some strengthening changes have been made in the past two years, it can only stop people below the level of True Immortal. How can a True Immortal be able to stop it?" Lu Yu said.
"Old men Xueyun and Fukong have to save some face, so they will definitely not take action personally at the beginning. It's good that way, we can just watch the fun. Speaking of which, the sea area of Pingyu West City hasn't been lively for a long time. This general can also see the methods of Xueyun and Fukong and see if they have made any progress in recent years. I just don't know if that kid has the ability to force them to take action." Gou Huan said with interest.
As for Qin Ziling, Gou Huan did not think deeply about him. Was he arrogant and ignorant, or did he really have some other abilities to rely on?
To him, no matter how powerful Qin Ziling is, he is not a true immortal.
Given his status and the troops under his command, Qin Ziling posed no threat to him.
Unless Qin Ziling can provoke Blood Cloud or Floating Ancestor to take action personally and block their attack.
If that were the case, regardless of whether Qin Ziling relied on his own abilities or the island protection formation, he would be considered a powerful figure worthy of Gou Huan's attention.
Before this, Qin Ziling was just a stunning figure.
Such people would appear every few years in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain and the Baiwanli Sea, but they would soon fall like a meteor. They were only brilliant for a moment and were short-lived. They were not worth the careful consideration of a big man like him.
…
The next day.
At the hour of Mao, a red sun broke through the clouds behind the Dalang Mountain and jumped out.
The golden-red sunlight falls on a green jade mountain road that leads from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain to the Zhenxi General's Mansion, reflecting a soft light. From a distance, it looks like a green dragon winding its way up.
On the green jade mountain road, a group of people were climbing the stairs. They were the people who came to pay tribute once every five years.
Those who came to pay tribute this time included not only the eight fairy islands in the sea west of Pingyu West City, but also some forces on the land of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi General's Mansion.
The group arrived at the vast square in front of the Zhenxi General's Mansion at the end of the Mao hour, and then stood there waiting for the Chen hour to arrive.
Qin Ziling stood in the crowd, appearing calm on the surface, but quite uneasy in his heart.
Because he was standing here, the feeling from last night was obviously stronger. He could even feel that in the vast void, the eyelid of Senior Fire Dragon's one eye was trembling slightly , as if it was about to open.
This was unimaginable before.
Because in the past, in order to wake up Senior Fire Dragon, Qin Ziling had to input a large amount of spiritual power or drip a lot of golden thunder liquid.
But now, he did nothing, and Senior Fire Dragon actually showed signs of waking up.
"It seems that there must be fragments of the 'Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover' hidden in the General Zhenxi's Mansion, but I don't know who has it. If it is in Gou Huan's hands, it is not advisable to take action now, and I have to think long and hard. If it is in the hands of someone else, I have to find a way to get it even if it is risky." Qin Ziling was thinking in his mind.
Just as Qin Ziling was thinking about this, a melodious bell sound came from the Zhenxi General's Mansion.
A late-stage earth immortal walked out of the main gate of Zhenxi General's Mansion and said, "Everyone, please come in!"
Then everyone followed him into the gate of the Zhenxi General's Mansion one after another.
Above the main hall.
Gou Huan sat high up with a tall crown on his head, his powerful majesty was as substantial as a substance, covering the entire hall. The circulation of Qi, blood and immortal power in all those who entered the hall to pay tribute stagnated and became heavy.
Lian Changfeng, who was only at the Grandmaster level, almost felt his legs go weak and he was unable to take a step. Fortunately, Qin Ziling released a slight aura that lingered around him, allowing him to stand firm and follow the crowd forward step by step.
Qin Ziling and Qu Zhong followed behind Lian Changfeng on the left and right.
Feng Ziluo and others were not qualified to enter the main hall today, so they were led by people from the Zhenxi General's Mansion to the side hall to wait.
Qu Zhong did not dare to look up at Gou Huan. He followed the company commander Feng closely with a heavy heart.
The higher his cultivation level, the more he realized that Gou Huan was powerful and impossible to defeat.
Although Qin Ziling was also very powerful, he did not give him that feeling.
Qin Ziling also lowered his head, but his mood was not heavy, but excited.
He was now 100% sure that there were fragments on Gou Huan's body.
Because that strong feeling came from Gou Huan.
In the vast void, the scales-covered eye calluses on Senior Fire Dragon's face trembled even more violently, and even opened a crack faintly, with a red light shooting out from the crack.
