alone as a fairy

Heyuan County is not far from Qingyang County, and there is only Tonghua County in the middle. Chen Zining had never been to Hongning City, the headquarters of the Shen family, but he knew that Hongning City was located in the lower reaches of Qinghe River, and it was also built near the water. Moreover, this city is one of the only three cities in the south of Shengtang Kingdom that has a defensive formation. With these two obvious features, Chen Zining can't find the destination easily while walking along the Qinghe River.

At a quarter to three in the afternoon, Chen Zining came to the sky above Hongning City. He was not in a hurry to go down, but took a closer look at the city from the air. The protective formation of Hongning City was called Wutu Mochen Guiyuan The big formation, this formation is not set up after the city is built, but the Shen family first buried the formation stones, perfected the formation, and then built the city on the ground according to the rules of the formation, so that the formation can be maximized. power.Once activated, the formation will extract the earth's energy. Although it can't cover the sky like the Huotian fire cloud formation, it is strong in comprehensive protection and can make the whole city as stable as a mountain. It is difficult to attack from above or below the ground. It works, but when it is not activated, most people will not be aware of the existence of this formation.

The Shen family has been passed down for more than 2000 years. Long before the Zhu family established the Great Xia Dynasty, it was already the overlord of one party. The power in Heyuan County was deeply rooted. Even the Ji family could not penetrate the slightest bit. If the Shen family does not rebel, Heyuan County is the independent kingdom of the Shen family.

The Patriarch of the Shen family took up the position of governor, and the appointments in all parts of the county are also from the Shen family, but they just went through a cutscene in the court to maintain the face of the royal family.

The area of ​​Hongning City is smaller than that of Tsinghua City, and the population is only about 50. The reason is that the city is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is not suitable for expansion. The reason why the ancestors of the Shen family chose this place was because there is a spiritual vein in it. , has an irreplaceable role in the cultivation of the tribe and the supply of formations.

The inner city occupies one-fifth of the area of ​​the city, and all the members of the direct line of the Shen family live in it, while the people living in the outer city are either members of the collateral lineage of the Shen family, or residents who are inextricably linked with the Shen family. The cohesion of people's hearts is much stronger than that of Tsinghua City and Shengjing City, which have complicated situations.

Chen Zining lowered himself a few miles outside the city. As soon as he entered the city gate, two brothers, Shen Yuanhua and Shen Yuantu, who were riding on the back of a Qilin beast, were greeted opposite them. There was also a Qilin beast behind them.

Shen Yuantu said from afar: "Zining, the elders were supposed to come to greet you. We brothers heard that you were here, so we took over the job."

Chen Zining smiled and said: "Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your demeanor is even better than before. When did Brother Yuanhua go down the mountain?"

Shen Yuanhua was his senior. When the Seven Star Club was established, it was a good story to see Shen Mengning secretly boosting his prestige. However, Shen Yuanhua later entered the gate of Yuan Shizong, and the two did not have a close relationship. .

Shen Yuanhua looked at Chen Zining with a slightly complicated look, and said: "When I heard about the Battle of Bailian Lake, I wanted to travel around the world alone after I went down the mountain, but I have to come to my little sister's birthday this year."

Chen Zining keenly felt that the two of them seemed to have something to say but didn't say it, and he didn't point it out. Just at this moment, a flame-tailed crane flew over the heads of the three of them, circling and chirping, with a very intimate attitude. It was obviously Shen Mengning's idea. Only Ling Chong recognized Chen Zining.

Chen Zining simply released his wild flame-tailed crane that had just returned from Longgui Valley. After a period of stocking, this spirit crane not only reached the sixth level of strength, but also had a body size that was higher than that of the crane that hatched at the same time. The females are much larger.

Seeing two flame-tailed cranes frolicking in the air, Shen Yuantu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, there is still some distance to the guest house, please get on your horse."

According to legend, the unicorn beast, which was born from the mating of the black unicorn and the wild horses of Tianzhu Mountain, has been domesticated by the Shen family for more than ten generations, but it is still wild. Get close, let alone ride on it. Those warrior-level soldiers in the Black Lin Army have been with the Qilin beast since its birth, and received various trainings together, so that they can communicate with each other like arms and fingers.

However, these were not a problem for Chen Zining, he only used the mental method of Qinglong Transformation, exuding a trace of the might of a real dragon, the Qilin beast behaved like a rabbit, and let Chen Zining step on it.

The Shen brothers couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they saw it. It wasn't that the two of them wanted to make things difficult for Chen Zining, but that they had no experience in welcoming guests, and felt that young people didn't need to take those slow and stuffy carriages, so they took them along. A unicorn beast didn't realize that something was wrong until Chen Zining was asked to get on the horse, but before they could remind the other party, Chen Zining didn't use any means, and the unicorn beast immediately became surprisingly docile.

"It is rumored that Chen Zining's beast taming skills are unparalleled in the world, even inferior to the Beast Master Sect and the Beast Tamer Guild, it seems true." The two thought to themselves.

After landing in a garden-like guest house, just as Shen Yuanhua and Shen Yuantu left, Zhou Yiqin ran over and said, "Chen Zining, there is trouble, Mengning was restrained by the elders of the clan, and she was not allowed to come out to see you. "

"And why?" Chen Zining was taken aback.

Zhou Yiqin's usually cold face showed a rare sorrow, and said: "Pan Xindong from the Pan family suddenly came to propose marriage. I guess the elders mean that they don't dare to offend the Pan family, and they may agree to this marriage."

After Chen Zining heard this, he was silent at first, and then suddenly laughed.

Zhou Yiqin never thought that Chen Zining would have such a reaction, she couldn't help being dumbfounded, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Zining shook his head, and said: "The Pan family proposed marriage suddenly, presumably they got some news, which was aimed at me. As one of the four great families in ancient times, the Pan family did not behave in a dignified way, but tried to do some dirty things. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Zhou Yiqin snorted coldly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you laugh or cry, this matter must be settled."

Chen Zining said: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for the Shen family. Since this Xindong is here, I'll just kill him. They're gone, so what kind of marriage is there?"

Zhou Yiqin couldn't help but turn dark when she heard this, and said in her heart: "You slaughtered people on the Shen family's territory, and why are you making things difficult for the Shen family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zining covered the city with a radius of dozens of miles with his spiritual consciousness, penetrating into every corner and every building.

In just three or five breaths, apart from the fact that three places in the inner courtyard of the Shen family were banned and sealed off, making it difficult for the spiritual sense to peep, no movement, big or small, could escape Chen Zining's control, including everyone's breath of course.

Chen Zining had met Pan Xindong several times in Mingyue Sect, so he naturally remembered the characteristics of this person's aura. After locking Pan Xindong's position, Chen Zining bundled his aura into a strong and dignified coercion, which suddenly descended on Pan Xindong. From above Xindong's head, there was a long howl, and he soared into the sky, flying towards the other party with a breath of Xun Tianhe.
