On the morning of the second day of the banquet, Liu Jun and his party took advantage of the early morning light and set off on Muchuan's flying magical vessel called the Qiudong Shenzhou.
This Shenzhou is famous for its excellent flight capabilities and exquisite structure, which added a bit of convenience and comfort to their journey.
The main reason is that the stay in the Ice Palace was indeed a bit long, exceeding Liu Jun's original plan.
He originally planned to let the students in the room practice to increase their knowledge and strength on the way to the Divine Palace to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony. However, time constraints forced them to adjust their plans and decided to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony first, and then find a suitable place to practice on the way back.
The Shenzhou soars in the blue sky in autumn and winter, like an eagle soaring high, its speed is breathtaking. In just a few hours, the Shenzhou passed through the heavy clouds and mist, and landed steadily outside the gate of Qianyu City, the city closest to the Divine King's Palace.
Qianyu City is famous for its prosperous scene and special cultural heritage. It is bathed in warm sunshine at this time and welcomes travelers from all directions. Most of these travelers are from major invited forces. Of course, there are also pure Come to join in the fun.
The reason why they did not fly to the Skyfire God King City where the God King Palace is located is because a powerful air-forbidden formation was set up within a hundred miles of the God King City.
This formation is so powerful that it not only prohibits the entry of any flying magic weapon, but also makes it difficult for birds to fly in this sky. Such regulations undoubtedly add a bit of mystery and majesty to the Divine Palace, and also demonstrate its strength. After all, not all forces can operate a magic circle that can cover hundreds of miles. The daily consumption of spiritual stones is an astronomical amount. number.
When Liu Jun stepped off the Qiudong Shenzhou and looked at the majestic Qianyu City in front of him, he couldn't help but muttered: "There are still such broken rules in the Divine King's Palace."
Bi on the side You Chang Hearing the words, Lao quickly reminded in a low voice: "Hey, Supreme Elder Liu Jun, please be silent. This is all here at the Palace of the Divine King. You must pay attention to your words and deeds, and do not violate the rules here."
Elder Bi You's words were full of awe and respect for the Divine Palace.
This time, in addition to Muchuan, the young master of the Ice Palace, those who came out of the Ice Palace this time were also the wily Elder Bi You, followed closely by a dozen of the top experts in the Ice Palace. Their steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to tell the majesty and inviolability of the Ice Palace.
At Elder Bi You's reminder, Liu Jun curled his lips slightly, with an uninhibited smile on his face. Then he waved his hand and led the group slowly towards the majestic gate of Qianyu City.
Before reaching the gate, the group saw a dozen guards standing at the gate of Qianyu City from a distance. These guards were dressed in silver-white armor, and the armor shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.
They held silver spears with their spear points pointing straight into the sky, as if they were ready to deal with any possible threat. What's even more peculiar is that there is a pair of huge white wings growing on their backs. The wings flap gently, bringing up gusts of breeze, making them look like gods of war descending from the sky.
"Me? Birdman?" Liu Jun saw these guards at a glance and blurted out, his face full of surprise and curiosity. Although his voice was not loud, it seemed particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.
"My ancestor, Supreme Elder Liu Jun, please pay attention to your words and deeds, pay attention to your words and deeds!" When Elder Bi You heard Liu Jun's words, his face suddenly changed with fear.
He quickly took a few steps forward and whispered to dissuade Liu Jun. He knew that Liu Jun had a straightforward temperament, but at this moment, they represented the two major forces of Ice Palace and Danzong, and there was no room for sloppiness.
Elder Bi You was secretly upset. Before he set off, Patriarch Yi Ning had repeatedly told him to take good care of Young Master Muchuan, and to always pay attention to Liu Jun's words and deeds, so as not to offend too many people. people. After all, in this strange environment, one more enemy means more danger.
He originally thought that this was just a trivial matter. Compared with the honor of going to the God's Palace to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony, it was nothing and he didn't take it seriously at all. But now it seems that this It's really a difficult task.
Fortunately, what Liu Jun just said was not heard by the guards, otherwise this matter would be troublesome. Thinking of this, Elder Bi You couldn't help but secretly sweat again, and he became more vigilant.
"Stop!" This shout was like a sharp knife in the cold wind, without any warning, piercing people's hearts.
When Liu Jun and his party were about to approach the ancient and solemn gate of Qianyu City, they were mercilessly stopped by the guards wearing silver armor and holding spears.
"What are the important matters for the guards?" Seeing this, Elder Bi You hurried forward, with a warm smile on his face, without any airs of being an ice palace elder. As if he were just an ordinary traveler. "Who are you? Where are you from? Why do you want to enter Qianyu City?" A somewhat fat guard walked out of the queue, with a pair of slightly golden wings on his back, shining in the sun. The dazzling light is obviously not an ordinary guard, but at least a captain level.
Hearing this, Elder Bi You bowed slightly, took out an exquisite invitation from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully: "We are envoys from the Ice Palace and the Dan Sect. We have come all the way from the Shou Shen Wang Palace. Invitation, come to participate in the grand event of the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony before entering the Palace of God. We want to take a walk in Qianyu City first and rest for a few days to recharge our batteries.”
However, the fat guard did not reach out to take the invitation, but only glanced at it from the corner of his eye. The exquisite cover snorted coldly and moved a little to the side.
He knew very well that this invitation to the God's Palace was of great importance. No one could imitate the mark on it, and no one dared to impersonate it.
"Pay the capitation fee, ten thousand divine coins per person." The guard squinted his eyes, his fat face full of disdain. He looked up and down at Elder Bi You and his party, as if he was looking at a group of people who were not worth mentioning. of ants. His tone was full of arrogance and irrationality, as if this was a matter of course.
When Elder Bi You and others heard this, their faces showed surprise. Which one of them, Ice Palace or Dan Sect, is not a long-established powerful force? When have they ever received such treatment?
"It's fine if you don't want to be friends with me. Let's go out and hang out for a few days." The guard smiled contemptuously, as if he had anticipated their reaction. He spread his hands and made a sign of please, as if to say: "You are not welcome here. If you are sensible, please leave."
Liu Jun couldn't bear to hear it, and he couldn't help but say He said: "Ten thousand? Just in front of me Aren’t those people ten thousand coins? How come we have ten thousand coins?”
He just saw with his own eyes that those people in front only gave ten coins to the guards. How could they take turns? When it comes to them, the cost has skyrocketed a thousand times?
The guard glanced sideways at Liu Jun, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "They are them, and you are you. I will charge you ten thousand each today, what? Do you have any objections? If you have money, come in, if you don't have money, come in. Get out of here, don't be an eyesore here!"
The words are full of threats and provocations, as if to say: "If you don't know what's going on, don't even think about entering the city."
When Liu Jun heard this, he was furious. He resisted the urge to chop the girl, took out a thick stack of divine coins from his arms, and handed it over.
Each of these is a sacred coin with a denomination of 10,000, shining brightly. This stack of divine coins is worth at least millions, and if calculated based on the number of people, it is only a lot more. Liu Jun's generous move made everyone present look at him.
The guard took the heavy stack of divine coins with a satisfied smile on his face. He counted the money and after confirming that it was correct, he got out of the way: "Well, it's okay, I'm sensible. Let's go into the city!"
When Elder Bi You and others saw this, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and enter the city. . They all knew in their hearts that this was someone else's territory, and they could only temporarily succumb to the other person's power.
What they are more surprised now is that Liu Jun actually endured it. Everyone present was aware of Liu Jun's temper. In the scene just now, everyone thought Liu Jun was going to go on a killing spree.
After all, he, Liu Jun, is famous for his fiery temper, the kind of person who would never let go of a grudge. However, this time, unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Liu Jun was obedient and paid more.
Jiang Luokui was the first person in this group to get to know Liu Jun. He knew that Liu Jun was the kind of person who regarded money as his life. He was willing to give so much more this time, which was probably to pay for the life of the guard.
Jiang Luokui was right. Liu Jun had already written a death notice in his heart for the greedy guard. Take advantage of him? Do you dare to make him angry? This was simply challenging Liu Jun's bottom line. He, Liu Jun, quarreled with heaven and earth. How had he ever experienced such cowardice? After what happened today, he would naturally find a suitable opportunity to let the guard know what true regret was.
Qianyu City is a prosperous scene at the moment. The avenue in the middle is extremely spacious, and even if thirty heavy carriages run side by side, it will not seem crowded at all. On both sides of the avenue are various shops and restaurants. The dazzling array of products and the tempting aroma of delicious food are intertwined, making it dizzying. The store clerks stood at the door, enthusiastically greeting passing customers, with smiles on their faces, as if every customer was their most valued friend.
At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves broke through the surrounding noise. A gorgeous carriage came slowly, its body inlaid with various gems, shining with dazzling light. On both sides of the carriage, followed a group of followers dressed in gorgeous costumes. They walked arrogantly in front to clear the way for the carriage. In the carriage, there sat a woman in a red dress. She had a beautiful face and a noble temperament, as if she were a fairy from heaven descending to earth.
Liu Jun's eyes were instantly attracted to this woman, and he couldn't help but have an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He seemed to know this woman, but he couldn't remember her. However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed a hint of danger. He turned around suddenly and saw a burly man approaching him quietly, with a cold light in his eyes.
Before he could take action, the woman in the red dress on the carriage raised her hand, and a ray of cold light streaked across the sky like a meteor, flying towards her with great speed and precision. Immediately afterwards, a dull sound came, and the strong man not far behind Liu Jun fell to the ground. A slender silver needle was inserted into his throat, flashing with a cold light.
