Transcendent Ember

Chapter 491

After the political situation in Gu Yue State stabilized, Ancestor Feng announced the ranking of the Ten Schools Invitational Tournament.Originally, this result should have been announced at the closing ceremony.
Not surprisingly, Yujing University replaced the defending champion Wilder University and won the first championship in a century!

When the result was announced, Zhang Jichuan, who had already left Gu Yue Kingdom and came to the Thousand Li Stone Forest, suddenly felt a twitch in his heart. Deep in his soul, an extraordinary item was about to move.

It's 'Zhang Chu Daqi'!
Before the start of the Ten Schools Invitational Tournament, Zhang Jichuan activated the extraordinary ability of "Zhang Chu Daqi"'s "Great Aspiration", and made a great wish to help Yujing University win the No.1 in the Ten Schools Invitational Tournament.

Now, he has done it, 'Zhang Chu Daqi' will give back!

A vast soul force poured out from the 'Zhang Chu Banner' which had broken free from the seal, and poured into Zhang Jichuan's soul, which shocked him and left his mind blank.

Zhang Jichuan sat down cross-legged instinctively, digesting this powerful soul power, and the aura on his body rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The adventurers in the past glanced at him in surprise, but no one bothered him. The Thousand Miles Stone Forest belongs to the land of the Three Schools, and fighting is prohibited.

A stone elf jumped out from the side, trying to scare Zhang Jichuan with its teeth and claws.But when he saw that he was motionless like an old monk in meditation, without any reaction, he was furious.
Fortunately, the disguised jade elf appeared in time, and cooperated with the frightened look, and the stone elf left contentedly.
A few hours later, Zhang Jichuan finally absorbed the soul power gifted by 'Zhang Chu Daqi', successfully broke through, and became a second-rank and fifth-level extraordinary creature.

He opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, grabbed the "Kong Ming's Scarecrow" directly from the "World in the Pot", swept it with the power of his soul, and bound it.In order to bind the 'Magic Cube Building' and 'Li Longji's Taishan Fengchan Stele', he unbound 'Kong Ming's Scarecrow'. Now that he has upgraded to one level, he just bound it back.

Now, in his slim form, the fifteen supernatural items bound are: 'Kong Ming's Scarecrow', 'Lian Da Washing Powder', 'Hu Weng's Medicine Gourd', 'Zhu Houzhao's Seal of the Mighty General', ' Past Events on Earth', 'King Solomon's Magic Carpet', 'Mother's Stone Mirror', 'Analects Fragments', 'Fortuna's Wings', 'Samothrace's Goddess of Victory', 'Cha Chester Carlson's Copier', 'Houji's Seed', 'Li Bai's Gold Medal', 'The Rubik's Cube Building', 'Li Longji's Taishan Fengchan Stele'.

There are only fourteen supernatural items in the fat version, namely: 'Zhu Houzhao's Seal of the Mighty General', 'Grace Herb's Journal', 'Bronze God Tree', 'Death Flag', 'Shuo Hanchuang', ' Zhang Chu Daqi', 'Huatuo's Mafeisan', 'Klein Bottle', 'Francesco Morozini's Prayer Book', 'Trojan Horse', 'Xia Gun's Wall',' Dalton's socks', 'cloud teeth', 'weaker bow'.

"Well, the fat version can also bind a supernatural item, but I don't have any supernatural items that are particularly suitable for me now." Zhang Jichuan got up and thought to himself, "I can only go to the Xinhua Dynasty to see if I can get one."

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned 'King Solomon's Magic Carpet' and flew towards Shicheng under the jurisdiction of Ximo Province of the Xinhua Dynasty with a somewhat nervous jade elf.

"Mr. Black Crow is really quite black and humorous. He actually chose the meeting place to be the headquarters of the Xieyue Bandit Group." Zhang Jichuan smiled as he flew, recalling in his heart that he and the Black Crow joined forces to wipe out the Xieyue Bandit Group.

The two teamed up with 'Union Laundry Powder' and 'Pelosi Lecture Table' to reproduce the powerful brainwashing ability of the former Western rogue leader Pretty Country.

It's just a pity that one bandit escaped because of the negative ability of the 'Great Sage's Yin Qin', and I don't know which bandit group he is now in.
Soon, Shicheng arrived.

A brand-new small town came into Zhang Jichuan's eyes. The whole small town was full of traffic and bustling, revealing a thriving scene.

"Without the malignant tumor of the Xieyue Bandit Group, the entire Shicheng looks different, full of vitality." Zhang Jichuan was a little happy, which meant that he and Mr. Heiyue joined forces to eliminate the Xieyue Bandit Group, which was particularly meaningful. things.

The headquarters of the original Xieyue Bandit Group is now in ruins, and there are even some graves without tombstones, which look desolate and gloomy.

Zhang Jichuan saw Mr. Black Crow, Ms. Bai Ye, Qiu Wen who were grilling meat among the graves, and Ferna who had grown a lot bigger.

"The meat is already roasted, Mr. Siliang, I'll be waiting for you." Hearing the sound of Zhang Jichuan flying through the air, the black crow moved his ears, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Zhang Jichuan landed, the 'King Solomon's Magic Carpet' turned into a gradual change of light and shadow and returned to the crown of soul. He looked at the surrounding environment, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "You really belong to the barbecue in the grave."

"No way." Ferna took a mouthful of meat and said, "Mr. Black Crow is a wanted criminal."

"There is another reason." Qiuwen pointed to the three people around her, with a helpless expression, "The three of them are very used to living in gloomy places full of resentful spirits."

"Qiuwen, your wood elf form also likes decaying places, okay?" Ms. Bai Ye retorted.

"Ms. Bai, decay and death are two different things, okay?" Qiu Wen patted her smooth forehead, "Also, my wood elf form also likes places full of vitality."

"Look at the vitality here." Ms. Bai Ye pointed to the weeds among the graves.

Qiuwen: "."

Zhang Jichuan felt that he was a normal person, and he didn't quite match the painting style of these guys. When he sat down to take the barbecue, he even thought about whether to activate the 'Cong Yunya' to transform into an evil spirit, which might look like Harmony.
After the five of them had a hasty meal of barbecue together, the black crow spread its pitch-black wings and led Zhang Jichuan and the others to fly eastward.

"Huh? Aren't we going to Xiacheng or Fengcheng?" After flying for a while, Ferna asked strangely, and she found that the flight trajectory of the black crow was somewhat different from what she expected.

"Well, let's go to another place first to confirm some things." Hei Ya said, "As for Fengcheng and Xiacheng, there is still some time, don't worry."

A group of people flew from day to night, and at the turn of day and night, Ms. Bai Ye switched to Ms. Ye's form on time.Afterwards, she used the power of the night to speed up the flying speed of the people, and the group finally arrived at a county on the eastern border of the Xinhua Dynasty in the middle of the night.

What is strange is that this county is pitch-black, without a trace of lights, like a ghost town.

What's even more unbelievable is that from time to time, the howling of strange beasts can be heard in the county town.

"Huh? What is this place?" Qiu Wen wondered, "There is a city, which means it is within the boundaries of civilization, but why is there no one in this city? Instead, strange beasts have occupied this city?"

Qiuwen asked everyone's doubts, and looked at the black crow with puzzled eyes.

Pounce, pounce!

In the night, the black crow gently flapped its wings, its breath restrained, and its eyes looked sadly at the county town hidden in the darkness, revealing a sense of remembrance.

After a long time, he put away his sadness and introduced: "You may have heard of the name of this county, it is called——

"Xu County!"

"Xu County?", "Xu County? Is this Xu County?"

Ms. Bai Ye and Qiu Wen exclaimed together.

Zhang Jichuan and Ferna stared at each other with bewildered faces.

Fortunately, there is a considerate Qiuwen. She introduced: "Xu County is located in the east of the Xinhua Dynasty, and further east is boundless earth. In the past, this county was the garrison base camp of the Xinhua Dynasty's eastern border army. And the Xinhua Dynasty's eastern border The commander-in-chief of the frontier army is none other than Xu Yan, the Duke of Protector who is enfeoffed in Xia City!
"Xu Yan is the hereditary guardian of the Xinhua Dynasty, and his ancestors have a mysterious origin. It is said that more than 300 years ago, the founding emperor of the Xinhua Dynasty, Yi Xingjian, was able to become a third-rank extraordinary creature, which is closely related to Xu Yan's ancestors.

"Yi Xingjian left the civilized country and went to the depths of the earth, deliberately canonized Xu Yan's ancestor as the first-rank protector, and retired with the country.

"For more than 300 years, the Xu family has been trusted and honored. But five years ago, the newly enthroned emperor Yi Zhen suddenly identified Xu Yan as a traitor, and the Eastern Frontier Army was also regarded as a rebel army. Mobilized several other armies to surround Xu County, and launched a fierce war with the Eastern Frontier Army
"The final result was that the entire eastern border army was annihilated. Xu Yan was skipped interrogation and executed directly. As for the relatives, those who were executed were executed, and those who were imprisoned.
"In that battle, blood flowed like rivers, and the entire Xu County was slaughtered. It is said that the bloody atmosphere has not dissipated for three years. Since then, Xu County has gradually become a ghost town."

It turned out to be like this. Zhang Jichuan nodded, and it made sense why a county town was deserted and occupied by strange beasts in vain.

He looked at the black crow, and from the behavior of the black crow just now, it can be inferred that the black crow should be related to Xu Yan or the former Eastern Frontier Army.

"Ms. Qiuwen is really knowledgeable." Hei Ya subdued her emotions and praised with her usual expression.

"It's just that I read a few more news." Qiu Wen shook her head modestly, and then asked again, "Mr. Hei Ya brought us to Xu County, what did you want to confirm?"

Hearing this, Hei Ya glanced at Zhang Jichuan and Ms. Bai Ye, and said with a serious expression, "Corpse!"

"Corpse?" Ms. Bai Ye, who had a deep breath, was slightly taken aback, "Could it be that you doubt it."

Zhang Jichuan also remembered what Yuan Xiao said in the same boat space, and his expression became serious: "That force?"

"Yes." Black Crow nodded, and said, "Five years ago in the battle of Xu County, 30 to [-] people were killed and injured, all of whom were extraordinary creatures. The bodies of the dead and injured were all buried on the spot. fundamental reason.

"If it is true as Mr. Qingtian said, there is a force secretly collecting corpses, I believe they will not let the corpses here go."
