Chapter 118 Siege of the City
“The scope of this maze seems to be more than ten miles near Jade Belt City?”
Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart.
In his perception, it was obvious that it had flown for a long time, hundreds of miles.
But it only took a few minutes to get back to Yudai City, which meant that he was only a dozen miles away from Yudai City at most...
"So, this maze is not aimed at me... but covers the entire Jade Belt City?"
Lin Chen quickly made a judgment in his mind.
The scope of this maze is too large, covering a city with a population of one million, and even extends for more than ten miles.
With such a skillful person, if he only dealt with Lin Chen, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
“So, who is it that... surrounded the entire Jade Belt City?”
"What's its purpose...?"
Lin Chen felt very uneasy, but he didn't show it.
It was getting dark at this moment, and he returned to the inn where he stayed before.
Only after returning to the inn, Lin Chen dared to think carefully about the siege.
Deploying a huge formation to surround the entire Jade Belt City is definitely a big deal.
It's not something ordinary forces can do.
Can Changchun Gate do it?
Lin Chen shook his head slightly, he was not sure.
Before, he had seen the master of the formation peak deploying the Prison Wood Burning Sky Formation. The area was also very large, covering a mountain.
But compared with this formation that surrounds the entire Jade Belt City, it is still pale in comparison.
"It's not like a formation like this can be arranged by a Danjie monk... Even if it can be arranged, it would take a lot of time and energy."
Lin Chen roughly guessed the person behind this formation. strength.
Perhaps several alchemy monks worked together to set up the formation... maybe even Nascent Soul monks!
"Then, what is the purpose of this person or the forces behind the scenes surrounding Jade Belt City?"
Lin Chen thought carefully.
He divided the people behind the scenes into two factions.
Either they are righteous monks besieging the city to hunt down some evil cultivator or enemy.
But after spending such a large amount of money, the person who besieged and killed must be at least a late-stage pill-forming monk, right?
Of course Lin Chen hopes that the righteous forces will set up a formation, at least this way he will not be in too much danger.
But what Lin Chen is worried about is...the people behind the scenes are evil cultivators!
This is also the most likely!
There are many rumors about the siege of the city by demonic forces, but in the end they cannot escape one goal - blood sacrifice!
Thinking back to the three strange things that Lin Chen heard before...
"Could it be that the demonic forces are really taking action...to sacrifice the city?"
Lin Chen frowned , calling out bad luck.
Such an unlucky thing actually happened to him...
"If it is really a demonic force, it will be in trouble... Anyway, let's take a look at the situation... Is there no loopholes in such a large formation? "
"Perhaps, since we can't leave Yudai City from the south, let me try to go in another direction? "
Lin Chen looked up at the sky. It was almost late at night. It was not the right time. A great time to be discovered.
Lin Chen left the inn and his imperial weapon flew out of Jade Belt City.
"Try the north first..."
Lin Chen's heart moved and he flew towards the north.
This time he was careful and left several marks carefully when he was more than ten miles away from Yudai City.
Then continue all the way north.
After flying like this for another half an hour, Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly when he looked at the mark left before.
"It doesn't work in the north, let's try the west again..."
Lin Chen continued to try.
......
The next morning, Lin Chen returned to the inn in the city.
“After several hours, I tried six or seven directions...still can’t find the flaw in this formation?”
Lin Chen's expression was a little solemn.
According to his opinion, it is impossible for such a large formation to be comprehensive and flawless.
But after trying the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, Lin Chen tried the southwest, northeast, and other directions, but still couldn't find a flaw.
However, Lin Chen did not gain anything at all.
He explored the scope of this siege.
"This large formation is centered on Jade Belt City and extends outward for about thirteen miles..."
"Thirteen miles is a limit... As long as this distance is reached, you will be forced to lose your sense of direction. Or is he trapped in an illusion? Even his spiritual consciousness cannot detect anything unusual..."
Lin Chen took a deep breath and planned to wait until dark before trying again.
Following the boundary of this formation, maybe we can find a way to leave?
So, for the next three days, Lin Chen stayed up day and night.
Whenever it gets dark, he will go out with his weapon to explore the boundaries of this formation.
But he stepped on every inch of the land, and even flew into the sky, with a height of more than several thousand feet... He still couldn't break away from this formation.
This formation is like... a huge invisible glass cover, surrounding the Jade Belt City at 360 degrees without any blind spots.
“Things have become troublesome!”
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm. There were only two and a half days left before it was time to return to Blue Star.
At present, he can't think of a way to escape from Jade Belt City. Then after returning to Blue Star... maybe there will be a way?
“There is no rush for now. Let’s investigate some information in the city early tomorrow morning...”
Lin Chen thought silently.
......
The next morning, after Lin Chen got up, he went to Chengzhongfang City.
After several days of lockdown, Lin Chen was not the only one who was trapped.
There are millions of mortals in the city, as well as thousands of monks...
Lin Chen plans to go shopping in the city to see if he can find out any information.
After walking around the market, Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Compared to a few days ago, there are significantly fewer monks in the city today.
In the formerly bustling Xiuxianfang City, there are now not many monks setting up stalls.
Even those who set up stalls on the street are mostly female cultivators.
"The strange things in the city are getting more and more serious... I wonder if they are related to the siege formation?"
Speculations arose in Lin Chen's mind, and then he turned around and entered an alchemy shop. .
Lin Chen had bought and sold elixirs in this elixir shop several times before, and he was quite familiar with the owner of this elixir shop.
"Boss, wrap up these medicinal materials..."
Lin Chen first bought some medicinal materials in the alchemy shop, and then inquired:
"Boss, business has been a little deserted recently? Isn't it in the city? It seems that the monks don’t go out much anymore? "
After hearing what Lin Chen said, the owner of the alchemy shop suddenly frowned and sighed:
" Alas, the business in Jade Dai City is getting worse and worse. Wait a little while. , I’m moving out too..."
"I heard that Shanfang City in Changchun is relatively peaceful. I plan to open a shop there next year."
After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
So he asked again:
"Yes! There are more and more strange things happening. Not to mention ordinary people, even monks like us can't avoid it..."
After hearing this, the owner of the alchemy shop sighed:
"Yes! Strange things happened a few days ago!"
Speaking of this, his voice was lowered, he looked around and said:
"I heard that a monk went out at night and saw a long A man with a dog's head! Tsk...it's late at night, and his eyes are glowing green. , that’s scary!”
“There was that weird skinning thing a few days ago...I heard that not only mortals, but several monks were skinned...”
After hearing this, Lin Chen My heart skipped a beat, but I still said calmly:
"Shopkeeper, you are well-informed... I have been practicing in seclusion these days. Can you tell me more about the strange things in the city?"
The owner of the alchemy shop saw that there were no customers, so he nodded and said:
< br>"What other weird things can happen? Isn't it just like the third child..."
"The strange things like skinning have gradually spread to the monks..."
"The Black Dog Gang in the south of the city It seems not peaceful..."
"There are also cemeteries outside the city, and the hauntings are getting more and more serious..."
The more Lin Chen listened, the more uneasy he became, not because he was afraid of these three strange things.
But he discovered an even more terrifying and strange thing...
"Haha, shopkeeper... please count the spiritual stones, I will go back first!"
Lin Chen said, turned and left the alchemy shop.
He had a vague guess in his mind.
After leaving the alchemy shop, Lin Chen went to his usual utensil shop.
In one afternoon, he visited three or four shops, bought a lot of medicinal herbs and materials, and then returned to the inn.
……
In the inn, Lin Chen’s originally calm expression gradually became serious.
"Except for me, none of the monks in the city seem to have noticed the internal and external blockade of Jade Belt City?"
"But...how is this possible?"
Lin Chen frowned .
Previously, the Danpu shopkeeper said that he was moving to Shanfang City, Changchun, and Lin Chen already felt a little strange.
After all, from the tone of his voice, it seemed like he could move out at any time...
But the fact is that there is no way out of this Jade Belt City!
Originally, he thought it was the Danpu shopkeeper who didn't know about this situation.
So he went to several shops one after another and inquired about the strange things in the city.
But none of the shopkeepers in several shops realized this.
This makes absolutely no sense!
After all, those who open shops generally have good connections and information.
Jade Belt City is sealed and the monks in the city cannot leave. How could they not know about such an important matter?
"So...what happened?"
"In their situation, it is as if there is some existence that interferes with their thinking...or, in other words, prevents them from going out. The will to run..." Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
If there really is a certain existence that interferes with the monk's thinking, that would be too terrifying!
After all, there are millions of mortals and tens of thousands of monks in this entire Jade Belt City!
“Something’s wrong… something’s so wrong!”
Lin Chen didn’t dare to think deeply, he felt that this matter was no longer something he could control.
“Let’s talk about it back to the world of high martial arts... I actually got involved in such a danger without knowing it. I have to let the think tank people analyze it.”
Lin Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down as much as possible.
For the next two days, he stayed in his room to practice quietly and did not go out again.
He set up a small protective formation in the room, which was slightly safer.
When something like this happens, it’s best not to go out and take risks for the time being.
But at this time, mastering intelligence is particularly important.
Fortunately, he sent Long Ba and Feng Jiu out to do business.
And through the shared perspective, we learned a lot of information...
In just two days, dozens of Qi Refining monks died in the city!
Most of the monks were skinned to death.
The physical bodies of these monks disappeared, leaving only their clothes and skins at the place of burial...
Other monks went to the cemetery outside the city and never came back.
Lin Chen recorded the information one by one and silently waited for the return reset.
When the countdown on his arm cleared, Lin Chen's vision changed.
……
Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief after returning to Blue Star.
He was really worried that the means of sealing the city would be so sophisticated that it would even prevent him from crossing the two realms.
But looking at it now, he is still more capable.
In the space-time chamber, Wang Lishan and others still maintained their previous actions.
But Lin Chen’s expression was solemn and he said:
"Something happened over there in the world of immortality..."
Wang Lishan's expression changed slightly when he heard that something was wrong with Lin Chen's tone.
But he still said calmly: "Don't panic, Xiao Chen, let's talk about the situation first..."
Lin Chen nodded slightly and told the situation in the world of immortality one by one.
After Wang Lishan understood the situation, his expression became much more solemn.
But after all, he holds a high position and does things calmly.
I saw him comforting Lin Chen first, and then said:
"What you mean is that you are now trapped in Jade Belt City and cannot leave..."
< br>"And you suspect that the Demonic Sect is preparing to sacrifice the entire Jade Belt City with blood?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly when he heard this, and said:
"I don't know whether I want to sacrifice the entire city with blood, or just target the monks in the city... But for now, we can only prepare for the worst."
Wang Lishan nodded after hearing this, and said after thinking :
“Don’t be impatient, first remember all the situations you encounter there. Record it, and I will inform the think tank and let them analyze it..."
"As for me, I will try my best to provide you with enough firepower!"
Said! At this, Wang Lishan looked into Lin Chen's eyes and said seriously:
"Lin Chen, do you believe in the country?"
Lin Chen nodded without thinking.
Having the ability to travel back and forth for more than two years, the country has given him enough help.
And this time, perhaps he encountered the biggest crisis in the world of immortality.
But he believes that the country will make the best plan to ensure his safety as much as possible.
If even the Great Xia Kingdom couldn't protect him, how terrifying would the enemy be this time?
After seeing Lin Chen's trust, Wang Lishan nodded slightly and said:
"After talking about the situation, you should take a rest first... try not to be too stressed! We are all behind you! ”
Lin Chen nodded heavily.
Soon, he informed them of the situation encountered in Yudai City and the explanation of the city sealing formation.
After explaining the situation, Lin Chen went to the martial arts palace lounge.
He didn't have much nervousness or fear in his heart.
“No matter what happens in the world of immortality, I have seven days to deal with the crisis!”
“With the entire world of high martial arts advising me, there is no possibility that I can’t get through it...”< br>
Lin Chen thought this way, and then practiced steadily.
In the next two days, while practicing Changchun Jue, he also followed behind Mr. Long to learn the Star Vibrating Sword Technique.
Because the situation was urgent, Lin Chen studied more seriously with the mentality that if he could improve his strength, he would have more chances of survival.
He also made remarkable progress under pressure.
The Star Vibrating Sword Technique finally broke through again...
In the training room.
Lin Chen held the demon-slaying knife and swung it out.
“82689kg!”
This is Lin Chen’s current basic strength.
“580632kg!”
This is the maximum power Lin Chen can exert after using the Star Vibrating Sword Technique.
Over a million pounds!
Lin Chen is confident that with this strike, the body-protecting essence of the fake elixir monk will be shattered!
Next to him, Mr. Long looked at Lin Chen’s great progress and said with emotion:
“Xiao Chen, your martial arts talent is really the only one I have seen in my life...”
< br>"In just one year, the vibration multiplier has increased from four times to seven times... Even if I were you, it would have taken me ten years to reach your level!"
Lin Chen took back the demon-slaying knife, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Long who taught me well!"
After hearing this, Mr. Long smiled and did not refute.
This is the fact. There is no one in the entire Daxia Kingdom or even the entire human race who can surpass him in sword-shaking martial arts.
"Xiaochen, I heard Tateyama say... did you encounter some situations in the world of immortality?" Elder Long asked.
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and said, "I'm a little unlucky. I encountered the Demonic Sacrifice City..."
Elder Long asked, "Are you sure you can handle this?"
Lin Chen shook his head. He didn't even know what state the person behind him was in, so how could he be sure?
When Mr. Long saw this, his expression became serious.
After thinking for a while, he took out a golden scale from his arms and handed it over.
"Take this dragon's reverse scale. It may save your life at a critical moment..."
Lin Chen took the scale, observed it carefully and said doubtfully:
"Old Long, this scale is..."
After hearing this, Old Long smiled and said:
"You have heard of my martial spirit, right?"
Lin Chen nodded.
Elder Long's martial spirit is very famous throughout the Great Xia Kingdom.
Martial spirits are all kinds of strange and omnipresent.
Some people’s martial spirits have powers such as telekinesis, fire breathing, and incomparable strength...
Some people’s martial spirits are weapons such as a long knife or a shield... …
But there is also a kind of martial spirit, which is called the summoning (transformation) system.
It can summon powerful creatures from myths and legends to assist in combat.
And the martial spirit of Long Yuanhai is a dragon...
A true dragon in Eastern mythology!
"This reverse scale is the one on my Long'er. It's the only one..."
"As long as you wear it close to your body, it will block a blow for you when you encounter a fatal crisis. ...The upper limit of this blow is about the full blow of King Wu!”
Elder Long said calmly.
After hearing this, Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly.
The powerful blow of King Wu...
This is definitely a power that surpasses the formation of pills, reaching at least the Nascent Soul level!
This shows that this dragon scale can block Lin Chen's Nascent Soul-level attacks.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen said sincerely:
“Thank you, Mr. Long!”
Long Yuanhai patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, only shook his head and said: “Blue Star’s future depends on you when you are young. In human hands..."
...
In the next few days, Lin Chen remained stable in both immortality and martial arts.
The true energy and mana in his body became stronger.
After consuming the flesh and blood of one, two, and three level monster beasts, Lin Chen's energy and blood value increased again.
It has reached 2720 points, getting closer and closer to the 3,000 points required by the martial spirit level.
Until the day before crossing the world of cultivating immortals...
......
Martial Arts Palace.
Wang Lishan looked solemn and informed Lin Chen of the intelligence of the think tank.
"Lin Chen, according to the inference of the think tank... the probability that this incident is a demon cultivator's blood sacrifice is more than 90%!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen took a deep breath, and he had already thought about it. Anticipate.
“Although the results are not ideal, the think tank has found a possible solution for you.”
Wang Lishan took out an earth drilling machine that was about ten feet tall.
“According to the research of the Formation Department, general formations will have some weaknesses and loopholes.”
“You have tried all directions from high altitude to the ground before...but the only thing you ignored was the underground !”
“So, I think you need to take this earth drill with you... Maybe you can find a way to leave Jade Belt City from the ground!”
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this. It is indeed an idea to solve the problem.
After he put away the earth drill, Wang Lishan took out a huge missile from the nano bag, which was two meters high.
After seeing the special logo on the missile, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
But Wang Lishan said seriously:
"If we really encounter an irreversible situation... don't hesitate to raze the entire city to the ground!"
