Chapter 176 Surging
When I rushed back to Lingyan City, it was only three days before I left the city.
Gong Yangwen and the remaining more than 300 people were left in a valley 300 miles south of Lingyan City. Once they left Lingyan City, they had to go all the way south to find a place that would not be hit immediately. Zhang Chong was left in the group, accompanied by Tang Dong.
There is no big problem with the concealment of Gongyangwen. Li Mingyang arranged more than a dozen spiritual arrays in the valley hidden by everyone according to the routine he was going to use in Lingyan City. In this way, they can not only practice in it, but also suppress the strong mysterious power emitted by Gong Yangwen. When hiding, not being exposed is the most important thing.
As soon as he returned to Lingyan City, Li Mingyang noticed that the situation in the city was strange everywhere. Out of intuition, Li Mingyang thought that a big war might break out in the city. This idea made Li Mingyang feel very crazy. Even if Lingyan City was not broken during the rebellion of Nong'anfu, he really didn't expect that any crisis would penetrate into Lingyan City.
"Maybe it's just an illusion." Li Mingyang said so.
Li Mingyang felt some differences when he returned to the throne with King Ning. Although King Ning was still the king of Ning, he still smiled like a spring breeze after meeting, but from his eyes, Li Mingyang faintly read a little impatience.
"How was the harvest this time?" King Ning asked like a loyal elder.
Li Mingyang looked bitter and replied, "It's too difficult. I didn't expect that there was a real ghost comparable to the fivefold of the virtual spirit realm in that hundred ghost village. We were almost completely destroyed."
"Oh?" King Ning looked awe-faced and said, "Is this battle so hard? How many people died?
"It's all dead. If my master hadn't tried his best to save me, I might not have come back." Li Mingyang said all the lies he had made up before.
Ning Wang's face was solemn and silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Wang Chengwu's face was pale, and his whole body seemed to explode at any time.
"It's good that people can come back alive. This time it's also my carelessness. If I had known that, I should have sent more strong people to protect you." After a while, King Ning waved his hand to let Li Mingyang retreat.
Then he looked at Wang Chengwu and asked, "Yes, the lord of the palace, has the news from the old general Zhao Xing? Is the situation in Nong'an Mansion very complicated?"
Hearing Ning Wang's words, Li Mingyang deliberately slowed down a little.
Wang Chengwu seemed to be extremely bored. He immediately got up and said, "I don't know what's going on over there. Let me go and have a look now." As he spoke, Wang Chengwu actually stepped down the Lingyan Tower. When he passed by Li Mingyang, Wang Chengwu stared at him fiercely, but Li Mingyang gave him a rigid sideways position, and the etiquette was in place.
After returning to the residential area of Jingshan City, Li Mingyang began to arrange the magic array without saying a word, separating the spiritual array, gathering the spiritual array, refining the yin array, all of which were arranged one by one. Subsequently, the reincarnation stone was placed, and Li Mingyang and Guo Yunshan went into battle in person and urged these people in Jingshan City to start practicing every day.
"After a month, you must leave here." This is the final decision made by Li Mingyang.
On the Lingyan Tower, Ning Wang asked lightly, "Is there any movement in the city these days?"
"My lord, Wang Chengwu has not taken a step in the military mansion since he returned that day, and Zhao Xing has never received any news." A general said respectfully.
"Zhao Xing hasn't come back yet?" Ning Wang seemed a little surprised: "Is even Zhao Xing dead at the hands of that boy?"
King Ning's face was more dignified and asked, "What's the situation on Li Mingyang's side now?"
"He looks very strange. He seems to be teaching those people to practice boxing." The general thought for a moment and said.
"Practice boxing? Are you sure it's boxing practice, not body training? King Ning asked more and more cautiously.
"Absolutely not refining. Those people are just playing some very strange boxing techniques. It's not the art of refining the body at all. People stationed around can see them practicing boxing. They are completely a group of wild people punching randomly."
Hearing this, Ning Wang nodded and said, "Let him fool around. As long as they don't have two minds, this boy is definitely a talent worth cultivating."
After the general retreated, there was no one around King Ning, but suddenly a light wind blew, and a young man inexplicably appeared on the top of the Lingyan Tower. This person was the mysterious young man who had talked to King Ning once before.
Seeing this person appear, King Ning finally looked a little excited and asked, "Well, is it okay?"
"There is a small accident for the time being, but in a month at most, everyone will be in place." The young man said in a low voice.
"It will take another month?" Ning Wang seemed a little worried: "Wang Chengwu has recently lost a general one after another. He can't sit still. I can't wait any longer. There is only one way to die." Speaking of this, King Ning seemed more excited and didn't have any previous calmness: "No, I have to transfer people from Xuanhua Mansion. You people can take your time, but I can't wait to die in Lingyan City so stupidly.
At this moment, the young man seemed to inherit the calmness of King Ning. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Lord King Ning, we are going to do a big deal this time. If we can't calm down, how can we arrange it? You should know that more than a group of strength of the Central Plains has penetrated into the whole south. If you do it now, you will only startle the snake. If you want the expected effect at that time, there will be no chance.
Listening to the young man's words, King Ning wanted to refute something, but looking at the other party's eyes, in the end, King Ning could only smile bitterly: "Okay, then I'll wait for another month. If your people don't come in a month, I will do it myself."
The young man nodded and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem in a month."
"Can you ask what's wrong?" King Ning suddenly asked.
The young man thought about it and finally said, "When our people came to the south from Xuanbei City and passed through Qiandao Lake, tens of thousands of real ghosts occupied the only island in the center of the lake. We have no turning point, so we can only find another route across Qiandao Lake, so we need to delay some time.
"S tens of thousands of real ghosts? How can there be so many? King Ning was shocked.
The young man also couldn't help smiling bitterly: "No one knows why, but if there is a problem, we can only find a way to solve it."
"What's the name of that island?"
"No one knows the name of the island, but there was originally a city on the island called Jingshan City. We simply called the island Jingshan Island."
"Jingshan City!?" Hearing these three words, Ning Wang was surprised.
"What's wrong?" The young man asked doubtfully.
"No, nothing." King Ning waved his hand and said nothing more.

Zhongyuan, Shu County, Taihe City.
"Brother, brother, are we really not involved in the situation in the south?" Qin Yuqing caught up with a young man dressed as a scholar and asked.
The scholar is Qin Yan. He is Qin Yuqing's brother. He is not as good as Qin Yuqing in cultivation talent, but he is quite domineering. Qin Yuqing has admired her brother very much since she was a child.
Qin Yan nodded and said, "There is only so much we can do in this southern battle. How big the Yan brothers can bring those people to set off waves in the south depends on their ability. Whether they can come back alive can only be seen."
"Why, isn't the strategy we formulated before good? Is it enough to send just a group of people? Their people are not enough to arouse the hatred of the southern monks. Why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue it? This can also add more trouble to the king of Shu. Qin Yuqing said puzzledly.
"Now he can't see the situation in the south. The water in the south is too mixed. It turns out that not only our Taihemen participated in it, but also King Cheng and Xilianghou also stretched out their hands. Taizu said that the only thing we can do in this situation is to wait and see what happens. Now if we want to force our hands, we will only let people cut off our arms together. Qin Yan said cautiously.
"What about Yan Kuo and Yan Guang?" Hearing the appearance of so many bosses, Qin Yuqing also knew the benefits of the matter, but when she thought of the Yan brothers, Qin Yuqing was still very contradictory.
Qin Yan couldn't help sighing and said, "There's nothing we can do. We dare not send people there without mentioning this situation. Now even if we want to send people, we can't do it. There was infighting in Linglongmen, and the original substitute was driven away by a mad woman. The crazy woman didn't know where she came from her confidence and thought that she could be a strong man in the real spiritual world, and even directly destroyed the fallen fairy tower. The Falling Fairy Pagoda can't be used, and it's impossible for us to send people now.
"This..." Qin Yuqing was surprised. She never thought of this change.
"The only regret is that the Yan brothers are not family-free, otherwise they will have to take good care of them." Qin Yan also said with a little regret. The implication is that he no longer has much hope that the Yan brothers can survive in the south.

Xuanbei City.
As a nominal gateway to the south, Xuanbei City has always been in a very embarrassing situation. Geographically, Xuanbei City is definitely in the south, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. However, because of the existence of a huge Qiandao Lake, the monks of Xuanbei City have almost no contact with monks in other regions in the south. Xuanbei City itself occupies a large area, with sufficient cultivation resources and a sufficient population. It is not so much a city as a small country for monks.
