Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 53: Mingzhu



North City Arsenal.

To be precise, the direction of the arsenal is in the northwest corner of Maple Forest City.

A large number of military equipment is stored here, waiting to be used when the army sets out.

The defense here is tight, and there is always a hundred-man team stationed here. The team is divided into ten squads, each led by a cultivator.

Of course, this does not mean that the proportion of cultivators in the city guard of Maple Forest City is so high, but because the significance of the arsenal is too important, the commanding officers who adjust the defense have intentionally increased the proportion of elites.

In contrast, the City Lord's Mansion itself has few cultivators guarding it, because the City Lord Wei Quji is the most powerful combat force in Maple Forest City.

At the same time, rotating to guard the arsenal is also one of the daily tasks of the disciples of the Dao Academy. Two disciples of the Dao Academy are stationed here every day. The Dao merit is rare, but it is stable, and there are basically no incidents, which does not affect meditation and cultivation. Many people actually compete for this task, and it can be said that whoever is quick enough gets it.

The arsenal is divided into internal and external sections. With such high-level defense, it is not only to protect the common armor and weapons stored in the external section.

From a spatial perspective, the internal section is extremely small, occupying only one small room in the entire arsenal.

But from the walls to the roof and even the ground, there are special inscriptions of formations to prevent violent intrusion. If there is an attack that these formations cannot resist, the self-destructing formation in the internal section will be activated.

With various measures and restrictions, anyone can only enter the internal section through a special command token from the main gate.

The two disciples of the Dao Academy and the strongest ten-man squad in the hundred-man team guard in front of the internal section. Apart from rotating defense, they will not move a step.

This kind of defense is almost foolproof. Especially today is the big day of the Three Cities Dao Conference, and a large number of city guards are stationed in the city, so there will not be any reckless people coming to their deaths.

Therefore, when two people wearing the uniforms of the city guard walked over and their command tokens were verified correctly, the squad leader on duty did not think much and opened the door of the internal section by pinching the formula.

"Wait." The disciple of the City Dao Academy who was meditating on a cushion on the right side of the door suddenly spoke.

He did not doubt these two people, but felt that he also needed to check the command token, which was in line with his duty.

But the two people who had already entered the internal section suddenly turned around.

One had long hair that spiked up like black needles. The other opened its blood-filled mouth and spit out a filthy blood snake!

The disciple of the City Dao Academy who was stopped was almost immediately pierced in the face by the black hair and fell to the ground, dead. The squad leader of the city guard was rolled up by the filthy blood and instantly turned into bones!

In just one round, there was only one cultivator left outside the door of the internal section, and the other nine city guards, although elite, were only ordinary martial artists.

"I just wanted to be lazy..." The remaining disciple of the City Dao Academy rubbed his forehead, and the next moment he rose into the air, pointing his finger and a golden arrow of light broke through the wind towards the enemy.

A top-grade D-ranked Dao art, Golden Light Arrow.

It was instant, which means that this person has at least completed a small cycle of the Zhou Tian realm, and his cultivation level is above the eighth level.

While attacking, he commanded, "Scatter and report the news. I'll hold them off here!"Certainly, he had no confidence in defeating the two attackers who dared to raid the martial arts warehouse in Maple Forest City, but at this moment, the official forces in Maple Forest City undoubtedly had an absolute advantage. As long as the news was spread, no matter how many opponents came, they would only end up being wiped out.

Soldiers were accustomed to following orders and would not delay, so the nine soldiers immediately dispersed and fled.

Just at this moment, chaos erupted almost everywhere in Maple Forest City, except for places where strong people such as the martial arts arena were gathered.

There were arson and murder, and it was noisy for a while.

Inside the martial arts warehouse, the two attackers did not hesitate. The attacker with black hair as a weapon stayed to fight, while the attacker who spewed dirty blood rushed into the inner warehouse.

They had a very clear goal! This thought flashed through the minds of the remaining disciples of the City Dao Academy. With a flick of his fingers, sharp and continuous, Jiang Wang displayed the effect of the arrow rain in the golden light arrow!

The golden light arrow and the black hair arrow confronted each other, one sharp and the other elusive.

While they were in a stalemate, suddenly a long knife swept across, and the attacker with black hair fell to the ground with a loud bang, his body separated.

Wei Yan held the long knife and walked straight into the inner warehouse.

A filthy blood snake rushed towards him, but he did not dodge or avoid it. He raised his long knife and cut the filthy blood snake in half. He rushed forward almost face-to-face with the attacker who spewed dirty blood, and plunged his knife into the person's heart!

But the attacker laughed strangely. He used his last bit of strength to say, "Mingzhu has been sent away by me!!"

Behind Wei Yan, the filthy blood snake that was divided into two suddenly wriggled, and one half pounced on the disciple of the City Dao Academy who had just released the golden light arrow, blocking his actions. The other half wriggled like a snake and fled from here!

Undoubtedly, the treasure called Mingzhu was in this half of the blood snake.

"Mingzhu is yours." Wei Yan pulled the long knife out of the person's heart, his voice cold as frost. "But the people who came today, I will kill them all!"

At the same time, ambushes that had been waiting for a long time appeared everywhere in Maple Forest City.

As soon as an attacker set fire, he was shot into a hedgehog the next moment, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

On the other side, when bloody Daoist techniques attacked passers-by, waves rolled and wooden logs rumbled…a series of Daoist techniques blasted the attacker into pieces.

Maple Forest City was well prepared, and almost all the masters had already taken action. The disaster was immediately suppressed.

...

"What happened?" Hearing a few screams in the distance, Jiang Wang immediately picked up Jiang Anan.

The camel-backed old man surnamed Gui also instantly held Qingzhi's hand.

"No need to panic." Wei Quji on the stand raised his hand and said, "The competition continues!"

Outside the martial arts arena, except for the soldiers maintaining order, the city guards scattered in teams.

The onlookers were not afraid. If Wei Quji and Dong A were in danger, where would be safe?

Moreover, these city guards were obviously performing military duties, so they dared not leave to disturb them.

...

In the martial arts warehouse, Wei Yan walked out in big strides and almost roared, "Shen Nanqi, why didn't you stop that blood snake just now? Don't tell me you can't do it!"Blood Snake fled with Ming Candle, and after a few transfers, the exquisite little item disappeared without a trace. This also meant that the "bait" Wei Qujie had taken out had been eaten. They had to kill all the "fish."

A disciple of the Chengdao Academy named Shen Nanqi shouted back with the same loud voice, "Do you think I know what Ming Candle is? Who told me? Since you had a plan and were prepared, why didn't you tell us? My fellow apprentice died in front of me!"

There was a faint golden light in his hand, and if it weren't for this moment, he would almost throw the golden light arrow at Wei Yan's face.

"More of our city guards have died." Wei Yan's face was as calm as water.

He may not have wanted to explain, but before leaving, he added, "We don't know the lurking situation of those people. If it's not kept confidential, they won't show up."

Which people? Shen Nanqi wanted to ask, but he didn't. He knew he wouldn't get an answer.

At this point, he even realized that his ability to come here and slack off today might also be Wei Yan's arrangement. Among the disciples of the Chengdao Academy who had not participated in the competition and could drag down opponents of this level, there was no one more suitable than him, Shen Nanqi, the fifth on the Maple City Dao Honor Roll.

The person he liked the most was not here, and the person he hated the most was Wei Yan.

Unfortunately, although he was also good at the gold-line Taoist technique, he was not Wei Yan's opponent.
