The 100% natural gas

Chapter 229 Two arrows scared Yuan Tongye away!

Lu Gong's courtyard.

The surrounding neighbors have been asked to leave and resettled elsewhere.

This was the work of the Astronomical Supervisor, instructed by the Commander-in-Chief, and personally handled by General Han.

But in this way, it can no longer be concealed.

Given Mr. Lu's current status and his reputation outside, there are only two reasons for suddenly closing the courtyard.

One is that people are old and their time has come.

The second is to try to refine the spirit, which is a life-threatening situation.

At this moment, Lin Yan was patrolling outside the yard with a knife.

The yard is not big. With his cultivation level, he can sense the slightest movement, even ants and insects, and can detect them.

"Although the movement of refining Qi into a spirit cannot be concealed, this move is quite ostentatious. Without the instruction of Lord Lu, this would not be done."

Lin Yan said slowly: "Mr. Lu wants to refine his spirit, which is a life-and-death struggle. The path he takes is much more difficult than that of ordinary practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm."

"The last time the courtyard was sealed off, it seemed that it was not just to discuss matters, but also to make the Guantian Tower suspicious and keep an eye on this courtyard at all times."

"So when the courtyard is sealed this time, the Guantian Tower will notice it immediately."

"Plus, the Tianjian Division cleared out the surrounding people."

"Mr. Lu's affairs cannot be concealed anymore."

He looked at Lu Tang beside him and asked, "Mr. Lu wants to use himself as bait to lure out a group of people with ulterior motives?"

Lu Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Lu believes that if he fails in this retreat, he will die, but if he succeeds, he will go to the capital city... This is probably his last effort for Gaoliu City, where he was born."

"If you add more variables to a road that is a life or death struggle, the slightest impact will mean a total of no chance of survival!"

Lin Yan's face looked a little ugly, and he said, "Mr. Lu has always been cautious, why is he so impulsive this time?"

"..."

Lu Tang looked at him deeply and said nothing.

When it comes to acting on impulse, looking across Gaoliu City and even the entire Qifeng Prefecture, who can be compared with you, Wuchang?
Even if Mr. Lu really acted on impulse, there was a high probability that he was led astray by this brat.

After a pause, Lu Tang said, "Mr. Lu left a document about his own Qi Refining and Spiritualization Direction. If you fail, you should hand it in to Liu Zun Temple."

Hearing this, Lin Yan pondered and said, "Why is it Liu Zun Temple?"

Lu Tang said: "Mr. Lu's method of refining the spirit is not suitable for practitioners like us who practice martial arts to enter the Tao, so even if we are guardians, we cannot actively sense his momentum of advancement."

"His path is wrong for us."

"We know a lot more about it, and it will have a big impact in the future, so we just give up the idea."

“But these high-ranking officials in Gaoliu City may not know the secrets. They must think that being able to observe Lord Lu’s spirit refining is a great opportunity.”

"Another point is that there are many people who do not want Lord Lu to achieve the state of refinement! Although Jie Jin is the largest sect, there are also many people who are afraid that Lord Lu will achieve the state of refinement and block their path."

"It will be very uneasy recently. Lord Lu means that we should leave it to fate and retreat if we can't stop it."

"Of course, the old man knows that people like you will fight to the death."

After saying this, Lu Tang added: "From today on, you don't have to worry too much. In order to protect the human race's pillar of the Refining God Realm, you can kill him no matter how hard you try!"

"I didn't have any concerns."

Lin Yan held up the Zhaoye Sword and said calmly, "Lord Lu wants to cultivate his spirit. Anyone who dares to attack me, no matter who he is, I will chop off his head!"

He looked at Lu Tang and said, "I'll guard here. You go to the southeast area and take over the city defense. Don't let the side break through the defense line!"

-

Due south of the outer city.

The city defense forces have been taken over by General Han.

This was originally against the rules, after all, the city defense forces were under the jurisdiction of the City Defense Office!

Prior to this, the commander-in-chief Zhaozhou had passed away, the city lieutenant Wang Yuan had been killed, and everything was in a mess. The new commander-in-chief had not yet been decided, so Wuchang was temporarily in charge.

But during the time when the ancient monuments appeared, the new commander-in-chief of the outer south city defense had already been decided.

Logically speaking, General Han had no authority to take over city defense affairs, but he showed the token of the city defender.

"Is something big going to happen tonight?"

Deputy Commander Gu came forward with a complicated look on his face.

He is the confidant of the commander-in-chief of Zhaozhou, and has a close relationship with the Linjiang Division. He is also not a stranger to the general flag envoy Han.

"No need to ask more questions. Guard the city wall for the past three days."

Han Zongqi spoke in a calm tone, "For the past three days and three nights, I have been guarding here without sleep! But it is more dangerous at night and consumes more energy... During the day, I have to trouble you to spend more time and effort!"

"clear."

Deputy Commander Gu nodded.

-

Southwestern area of ​​outer city.

The little white ape carried a long spear on his back and came to the outer southwest city defense.

Its current identity is Lin Yan, a small flag bearer of Linjiang Division.

He is far from qualified to take over the defense forces of Outer Southwest City.

Even if he obtained the token of the defender of a big city, he still could not convince the people and make many soldiers obey his orders.

As for the commander-in-chief of the city defense, he made no secret of his contempt.

"It's okay if you don't obey me!"

The little white ape stood on the top of the city wall holding a long spear in one hand, looking into the distance, and said calmly: "Just one thing! If any evil spirit enters the city... even a small demon, a wandering ghost, I will chop off your head and hang it on the city wall!"

"Asshole! If Wuchang were here, I would naturally show respect to him. But you are just a small flag bearer, not even qualified to be a flag bearer. How dare you show off in front of me?"

The commander-in-chief was immediately angry. He saw the small flag in front of him, and the long halberd swept.

The power was so great that the light spread out six hundred steps away!
A wandering evil spirit was killed on the spot!

"..."

The commander-in-chief suddenly felt dry in the mouth.

With a swing of the halberd, he could cut down a target six hundred steps away?

Is this... a method of the Qi Refining Realm?
"The evil spirit is coming."

The little white ape tilted his head to look at him and said, "Get all the willow branches in the warehouse to light the night and surround this city wall! If you slack off again, you'll have to watch your head!"

-

Outer city, southeast area, Lu Tang came to take over the city defense.

The commander-in-chief of the outer southeast city defense was originally from the inner city. He had a keen eye and knew Lu Tang's identity, so he did not dare to slack off.

But he was a little surprised. Why was martial law imposed starting tonight?

"I heard that every family in the inner city has sent people to assist Liu Zun Temple to eliminate the evil spirits outside the city in preparation for the expansion of the city!"

"In recent days, the darkness outside the city has become relatively quiet. Demons and evil spirits are rarely seen, let alone attacking the city."

"As a result, more than 80 people who burn incense at Liuzun Temple have died, and more than 200 warriors from various forces in the inner city have also been killed."

"They risked their lives in exchange for the recent stability of Gaoliu City. Why is Master Lu still worried?"

The commander-in-chief asked in a low voice.

Lu Tang looked outside and said, "Do you think there is a limit to the darkness after nightfall?"

"Of course it is boundless." The Southeast Commander responded.

"After pacifying this area of ​​100 miles, have we built a city wall a hundred miles away?" Lu Tang asked again.

"Of course not." The Southeast Commander responded.

"Then there are still endless demons in the darkness a hundred miles away. How do we know that they won't break in?" Lu Tang asked.

“But there are still a lot of people outside the city. They are like a big net, keeping all the demons and evil spirits out.” The Southeast Commander whispered.

"The big net has holes, and it's hard to say how much has been let in."

Lu Tang said in a deep voice: "The darkness is boundless, just like the vast ocean. It just fishes out the fish and shrimps on the seashore... From now on, there will be no fish and shrimps on the coast? No, they will still come!"

Then, Lu Tang sneered: "Especially, some people want to tear the net and let in those big fish that can eat people!"

-

Lu Gong's courtyard.

Lin Yan stood on the wall, looking down in all directions.

He suddenly looked towards the inner city.

Then he sheathed the Zhaoye sword and took out a wooden bow.

This is the bow left behind by Jie Jin, the farmer who was vying to be elected as the deputy leader.

In the normal Qi Refining Stage, the Qi can travel a thousand steps, but with the help of this wooden bow, it can travel three thousand steps.

When it comes to Lin Yan's hands, if he doesn't mind the wear and tear of the bow, he can shoot an arrow five thousand steps away.

With a whoosh!
The arrow flew over five thousand steps!
It shot to the area outside Linjiangfang, at the junction with Qingshanfang!
This arrow hit the road!

Boom!

A big pit was formed, and cracks spread along both sides.

"..."

The leading cavalryman immediately reined in his horse.

He was dressed in armor, full of blood and mighty power.

There were more than a hundred cavalrymen following behind him.

But they were all blocked outside Linjiangfang by this arrow.

"General Yuan..." The deputy general stepped forward, his eyes filled with doubt, and whispered, "The arrow shot from Linjiangfang must be more than a thousand steps away!"

"It's nearly five thousand steps from Lu Gongyuan to here."

Yuan Tongye frowned slightly and said, "What a powerful bow! I'm afraid it's also a treasure refined by a strange creature!"

He looked forward, gathered his energy, and transmitted his voice.

"I am Yuan Tongye, the commander-in-chief of the Left City Guard. I have learned that the efforts to exterminate demons and evil spirits outside the city have not been going well, resulting in demons and evil spirits approaching the city walls. I am leading the cavalry to support the defense of the outer south city!"

With a whoosh!
The arrow falls again!

Then he saw another big hole appeared in front of him!
Although the other party did not respond, his actions were obvious!

If you dare to cross this line and enter Linjiangfang, it will be regarded as declaring war!
"Are you crazy?"

Yuan Tongye's face was icy as he said, "He dared to shoot two arrows at me. If the report is sent to Qifeng City, he will be charged with a crime!"

"Commander-in-Chief, be careful!"

The deputy general whispered, "The ancestor of the Liu family was killed by him! He can shoot an arrow five thousand steps away, I'm afraid he has exceeded the realm of Qi Refining!"

"After making such a big fuss, I have an excuse to enter Linjiangfang and observe the spirit refining. Do you want me to give up?"

Yuan Tongye's face looked extremely ugly and his breathing became increasingly heavy.

He looked ahead and gritted his teeth and said, "Two arrows, you want to scare me away? He is not Li Shenzong!"

"Great Commander, this Wuchang is extremely famous, and he has a close relationship with Lord Lu. I'm afraid he will really start a war!"

The deputy general couldn't help but whispered, "We are not the only ones who want to break into Linjiangfang...why don't we retreat to the neighboring area, the outer southwest area, and wait for others to break in. Then we can enter Linjiangfang in the name of protection?"
