Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Various sounds intertwined with each other, sometimes shrill, sometimes deep, making people feel unprecedented fear and uneasiness.

Everyone was horrified. There was no such strange sound when they first arrived, and the haze was not so thick at that time. The visibility was only several hundred meters.

However, after a month, the changes were so great, could it be that he had become stronger...

For a moment, everyone was reluctant to take a step forward, and their eyes all fell on Diao Mu.

"What should we do, Young City Lord..."

Someone from Guiyi City whispered in my ear,

The weirdness in front of him became stronger, and he didn’t know if the young city lord could resist it.

"Back then, Diao Mu took out the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern and helped us survive the treachery a month ago. At that time, the treachery was not as strong as it is now. But even so, we lost many fellow Taoists. This shows that the treachery is extremely dangerous and difficult to guard against."

"Now the treacherous situation is stronger than before. I'm afraid the return journey will not be peaceful..."

A young monk stood up. He had an extraordinary bearing and cheeks as white as jade. He looked at the strange scene before him thoughtfully.

Keqing didn't know who he was, but as he spoke, voices of agreement continued to ring out around him. From all the discussions, she also learned that the young man in front of her was one of the top ten young city lords of Chiyou City.

And Chiyou City ranks ninth.

"Yeah, yeah! This is a bit troublesome."

"I don't know if Fairy Diao Mu's treasure can take us there."

Everyone talked about it, and then turned their attention to the young city lord of Chiyou City.

"I wonder what the young city lord thinks."

"yes……"

Their statements made Diao Mu frown and feel subconsciously disgusted.

Keqing, who was standing by, also felt a little puzzled.

"What does Fairy Keqing think?"

Mo Hong on the side suddenly stepped forward and asked.

"What do you think?"

"Of course it's the strangeness of this becoming stronger..."

I thought Fairy Keqing could explain something, but I saw her looking at me strangely with an inexplicable expression.

"What's wrong? Fairy Keqing, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem..."

After thinking for a long time, Keqing still didn't speak. The little coal ball often said that she was straightforward and tended to speak bluntly, so she still didn't say anything, leaving Mo Hong touching his nose, always feeling that he was being despised.

Because the look he gave just now seemed like he was looking at a fool.

[Aren't you a fool? What kind of question are you asking? No matter how strong he is, you have to leave anyway. What's the point of asking?]

On the other side, the young city lord Chi Youcheng suddenly spoke.

"When the natural power of this treasure is exhausted, everyone should know that the more powerful the spell is, the more mana it uses."

"But if the magic power remains the same and the target of the spell becomes closer and more focused, then the same magic power will be more powerful."

At this point, everyone was still a little confused, but some people quickly understood something.

Sure enough, the other party said again.

"This treasure is the same. The more people it protects, the less powerful it will be. But on the other hand, if fewer people are protecting it, the more powerful it will be. When we face this stronger monster, we will have the strength to fight it."

"What the young city lord meant is that the fewer people there are, the greater the chance of safety..."

"I dare not say that. I can only wait for Fairy Diao Mu's arrangement."

The other party smiled and looked at Diao Mu, obviously indicating that the decision-making power lay with the other party.

"Here, the number of people from Guiyi City accounts for several people, and the number of people from Yinyang City and Tianhong City is not much less. I'm afraid it's stable..."

A meaningful murmur suddenly sounded, and for a moment, the wind was howling and the sky was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Diao Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party coldly.

"Cheng Yi, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. I just told the truth. Since the fewer people there are, the more powerful the magic weapon will be... then as the young city lord of Guiyi City, why do you care about the people from other cities?"

As Cheng Yi slowly spoke, everyone suddenly realized something.

Yes, the treasure is in the other party's hands. He can let anyone go if he wants, even if it is possible for the other party to keep them here.

After all, there are competitors among the cities. Except for Yinyang City and Tianhong City, which are true allies of Guiyi City, the people in other cities are in competition with Guiyi City. No, it is a dispensable relationship.

"Truthfully? Haha, it would have been fine if you didn't remind me. I didn't have such an idea in the first place."

"but……"

Diao Mu paused.

"Now that you've reminded me of this, I think your method is indeed a good one. How about you stay and contribute a little to everyone's safety?"

Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I know that Chiyou City and Guiyi City have a bad relationship. Looking at Fairy Diao Mu's malicious intent, she really is so heartless and unrighteous as to abandon me here."

"It's just... I don't know who else would be there besides me..."

Suddenly, Cheng Yi's bewitching voice was heard.

"Fairy Diao Mu can abandon me because she doesn't like me, so even in the future, right now, will she abandon others because she encounters a situation she can't resist?"

"This is really pitiful. The treasure that determines our lives is in the hands of Fairy Diao Mu. Our own safety is in your hands. I suddenly feel a little worried!"

After he finished speaking, some people who felt uneasy immediately agreed.

"Yes, Fairy Diao Mu, you have to give an explanation."

"I remember that my ancestor seemed to have some friction with a certain True Lord in Guiyi City. Will I die here because of this?"

"Hiss, now that you mention it, I remember that someone in my family also had a conflict with several Heavenly Monarchs in Yin Yang City."

The voices came one after another, and more and more people suddenly

Realizing something, they surrounded Diao Mu and others without leaving a trace, with burning eyes.

"!!!"

Diao Mu's face turned dark, and he suddenly understood why the other party said that.

This was clearly an attempt to sow discord, and was the other party's target himself or the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern in his hand! ?

Sure enough, Cheng Yi suddenly said.

“Although I feel a little sorry for Fairy Diao Mu, I think it’s better not to put the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern on the fairy…”

"If the treasure of my city of return is not placed on me, then who will it be placed on?"

Diao Mu spoke in a low voice and looked at Cheng Yi sharply.

"Why, do you want to put it on your body?"

She raised her head and glanced around.

"Why, do you also want to do something with my Taichu Jiuhua Lantern!?"

As she swept the crowd with a cold gaze, everyone stopped talking but did not retreat either.

After all, it’s not that they want the Taichu Jiuhua Lamp, but this thing is closely related to them. What if the situation that Young City Lord Cheng mentioned before really happens?

Diao Mu laughed angrily.

"In the final analysis, you are just coveting the treasure of my Guiyi City. You are so foolish. Forget it!"

"Come and take it if you can, don't act so pretentiously and righteously!"

"I only let my people go, what can you do? I am not afraid of fear when I return to the city!"

not good……

Keqing said secretly.

As expected, Diao Mu's words did not discourage everyone's ideas, but instead intensified the conflicts among them!

Diao Mu's arrogant behavior now represents the interests of Guiyi City, and the people from other cities here further confirm what Cheng Yi said.

Given Guiyi City's attitude towards them, I'm afraid they will really abandon them halfway and not care about their lives.

Even if they died, it would not matter to Guiyi City! After all, Guiyi City was the first city in Huangzhou, so why should it explain anything like other cities?

They never thought that it was because of their coercion that the other party said such cruel words. Even if they knew in their hearts that the current situation was inevitable, when it came to their lives, they would be brave enough to challenge anything, even the authority of Guiyi City.

Conflicts broke out in an instant, and the crowd surrounded several cities including Guiyi City.

"I've thought about it carefully. My own life is more important. I don't want to die. Fairy Diao Mu, please hand over the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern to me temporarily."

"Indeed, I cannot rest assured with your attitude. I am worried that you will abandon us halfway. It would be better to leave it to us. We will certainly apologize when the time comes!"

"Fairy, I handed over the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern for everyone's sake. Please don't be stubborn."

Seeing this group of little bastards denouncing him, Diao Mu laughed angrily.

Are these people unaware of the value of their own talents and the strength of the previous cities?

Want to force me? And want me to hand over the treasure.

"That's wishful thinking! I want to see who dares to take action!"

"I'm afraid that if the things are handed over to you, they will change hands later."

Diao Mu sneered.

"Don't worry, fairy. How dare we covet the treasure of Guiyi City?"

But who would believe it?

"You all blatantly robbed my treasure and challenged us. You still dare to say you don't dare? Do you think I will believe you?"

The man who spoke suddenly became angry. He touched his nose and didn't know how to deal with it.

"This is bad... Cheng Yi, saying something like this at this time is really disturbing."

Mo Hong narrowed his eyes and said.

If you don't realize at this moment that the other party did it on purpose, you would have lived in vain all these years.

But even if he knew, what would it matter? The contradiction had already been transferred to Guiyicheng, and he had made it clear himself.

Moreover, once a seed is planted in a person's heart, there is no need to water it. When life is in danger, it will instantly sprout three inches.

Isn’t this the case today?

Given the pride of Guiyi City, it would never hand over the treasure, and other cities would not be willing to safely put their lives on Diao Mu, someone who might be dangerous to them.

This seems to have become an unsolvable problem.

Not to mention, Cheng Yi also hinted that the fewer people there were, the safer it would be, which further exacerbated the suspicion and conflict between the two sides.

"This is troublesome..."

Chapter 648: Leave it to me (Part 2)

"Yes! It's troublesome..."

Keqing sighed.

[What’s wrong with these people? Can’t they just pass through quickly…]

"Don't you see? His purpose is to provoke conflict between the two sides and create confrontation."

Why did he stand up and say this at this moment? It is self-evident.

[It seems that Chiyou City and Guiyi City really have a grudge against each other. Even at this time, he did not forget to set up a tripwire. Isn't he afraid that he will be trapped here too? ]

"I don't know, but it's clear that he wants to use this to encourage others to make Guiyi City bleed heavily."

Keqing shook her head, not knowing what grudge there was between them.

"Perhaps, he also wants that treasure. After all, it is an acquired treasure, just like my Glass Seal. It is normal for him to be tempted by it."

Of course, it is also possible that he just wanted to vent his anger and did not care about his own safety at all.
