The banquet ended very quickly.
Fang ping had also gained a lot.
First, zaricaluo was the king Lord's man, and he had to tell old Zhang about this when he returned.
Second, other than the true king's residence, the other places in the mine vein had the true king's mental energy attached to them. Don't even think about mining, it's just courting death.
"Third, Zhao xingwu might be going to the clear void heaven. You have to pay attention to this.
Fourth, during the Holy fruit banquet, other than the heavenly Elm monster plant, the other true monarchs would not return.
……
The banquet for Zhao xingwu ended, and the Maple Residence regained its peace.
Fang ping continued his closed-door cultivation.
In the eyes of outsiders, Fang ping was trying to break through to peak rank-6, but in reality, Fang ping was trying to enter rank-8 fourth refined.
Other than the breakthrough in his martial arts, Fang ping continued to split his strength to prevent his strength control from falling again if he became stronger.
While he was in seclusion, Fang ping was also reading some books.
There was a library in the Maple Palace.
As an outsider, Fang ping did not know much about the restricted zone. It was necessary for him to borrow some books to understand the situation. It was not surprising that Jin yuhuai and the others were doing this.
……
At the same time.
Magic City catacombs.
Hope City.
Outside the city, a ray of sword light broke through the air!
Old man Li laughed."Green-haired turtle, you think you can kill me? dream on!"
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!" A cold snort was heard, and a figure appeared. Soon, a second figure, a third figure, and three more figures appeared.
"Longevity sword, you're very strong. If three people can't kill you, then four or five people ... This time, you'll die without a doubt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few more auras rose up in the distance.
At that moment, a sword gleam shot out from behind old man Li, cutting through the void.
Wu kuishan looked a little embarrassed, but he laughed heartily and said,"You? Only six people? Not enough! Is there any more?"
"As you wish!"
"Hmph!" City Lord monster sunflower sneered. At this moment, a few towering monster plants also rose into the air and flew over.
"They're injected with hormones. Are they trying to kill us?"old man Li grinned.
Wu kuishan also smiled and said,"five monster plant cities, six monster Phoenix City, and six cities have joined forces. It's not easy!" "Out of 12 rank-9s, only 9 have come. What about the rest?"
Although he said so, he was cursing in his heart.
There were more and more!
On their side, he, li Changsheng, and elder fan only had three people.
Guo shengquan and the others could only hold off one rank-9 at most.
Three against eight rank-9s, and not all of them. If old Zhang did not send reinforcements soon, they would be finished.
City Lord monster sunflower sneered,"I'll satisfy you!" "Mcmau is now under the Imperial court's must-kill order. None of them should even think about living!"
Old man Li sneered and said disdainfully, "What's the use of saying all this, come at me! Even if I die, I'll take you with me. I'd like to see if you can block my last attack before I die!"
City Lord monster sunflower coldly snorted and didn't reply.
Both sides quickly retreated.
When they had retreated to a certain distance, Wu kuishan suddenly looked at old man Li and scolded him in a low voice,"Where did he go?"
"What?"
"You're still pretending!"
Wu kuishan's face darkened,"where's Fang ping?" Old Zhang had yet to send reinforcements, so he was probably in trouble. Who knew if he had any reinforcements? Let that kid get some good stuff to nourish himself ...
In the past, that kid would have sent it over himself. Now, there's no news. Is he not in school?"
"How can that be?"
"You can keep it a secret!"
Wu kuishan glared at him. He took a deep breath and said,"If this goes on, we're all going to die. I don't know what old Zhang's doing. The six cities have joined forces. At least a few rank-9s came to support them. Now, not a single one has come ... When they gather, we'll be in trouble!"
Old man Li panted and said helplessly,"These guys are determined to kill us this time ..."
"It's not just us. Mcmau is their target too!"
Wu kuishan retreated to the city wall and looked at the mcmau teachers and students who were rushing back to Hope City one after another. He frowned slightly and said,"More people died in battle. Now, the armies of the various cities are converging. Damn it, it's getting more and more difficult!"
He cursed. Old man Li also swept a glance at those people who had rushed back from outside the city. He sighed softly and only spoke after a long while,"When we destroyed Sky Gate City, only a hundred or so people died ...
It hadn't been long, but nearly a hundred people had died!
"If this continues, the strength that mcmau has accumulated will be exhausted!"
"That kid's back. He knows that we're guarding the catacombs and that we've killed so many people. Do you think he'll scold us to death?"
"You still have the time to think about this?"
"When that time comes, it's hard to say if we'll even be alive," old man Li said helplessly.
"So ... You're really not in school?"
Wu kuishan's expression changed. He could not help but curse,"I knew something was wrong. When we fought monster Sunflower City, that kid ... Was he there?
You're f * cking messing around!"
Wu kuishan cursed for a while, then looked at the rank-9s who were congregating in the distance. He exhaled and said, "We're in big trouble. Let some people retreat first. "
"Retreat?"
Old man Li frowned. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't retreat! "Mcmau has close to 2000 middle-ranked martial artists and an Army of six cities. Right now, it's just the combined army of monster Sunflower City and monster Phoenix City. That's the number of middle-ranked martial artists!
He could fight!
Not only could he fight, but he also had to win!
"As long as we can hold off the high ranks, there's no reason for mcmau to lose!
How could there be no deaths in war? some of them died in battle...But there was nothing they could do about it!
"However, based on the situation in the past, we have 2000 middle-ranked martial artists. We can even fight 5000 of them. We can fight them all. The number of outer-ranked martial artists is equal to our middle-ranked martial artists. What are we afraid of?
"Even if the six cities join forces and gather all of them, there'll only be five to six thousand middle-ranked people. We can fight them!"
"You're crazy! All of you are dead! Just wait for that kid to go crazy!"
"Don't bother about him!"
Old man Li took a deep breath and said,"most of the new students don't know the cruelty of war. It's not just the new students. Since his batch, the casualties among the students have never been high. It was the same even during the battle that destroyed Sky Gate City!
How could there be no deaths in war? last time, when Sky Gate City was defeated, these guys thought that the catacombs really could not withstand a single blow!
That's good too, let them experience what cruelty is. "
Wu kuishan took another look at mcmau's teachers and students who were still evacuating outside the city. After a long time, he said,"Forget it, then let's fight! That brat was too soft-hearted, but he was not ruthless enough. This time, he would also know that it was not a good thing to blindly protect!
"It will also let him understand that mcmau's teachers and students will not be a burden. They will also be martial artists who dare to fight!"
The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything more. They stared vigilantly at the rank-9 powerhouses who were gathering in the distance.
……
At the same time.
The Ministry of Education.
"Minister, Magic city's catacombs are in chaos. The six-City Alliance is determined to destroy mcmau. Quickly send someone to rescue them!" Minister Wang said anxiously.
Zhang Tao frowned and said,"rescue?" How could he save her? "Right now, all the major catacombs have gone crazy. They're all attacking and fighting!"
"But there are still a few rank-9s that can be transferred ..."
Zhang Tao glanced at him and snorted,"you go!" Didn't you already forge a fifth-grade metal? "You've been in closed-door cultivation for many days, and I haven't seen you break through. Go to Magic city's catacombs. Also, call Nanyun ping and the others. Go too!
"If you don't die in the catacombs, then there's hope for you to enter rank-9. If you die in battle, that's also fate!
"Rank-9s can't be transferred. A war is also breaking out in the capital city catacombs. There are many sporadic battles in other places ..."
"But ..."
"No buts!"
Minister Wang gritted his teeth and did not say anything more. Very quickly, it became the office who started to contact people to go to mcmau.
After Minister Wang left, Zhang Tao leaned back in his chair and pondered.
Li Zhen said in a deep voice,"do you really want to watch?" "Li Changsheng and the rest have died in the catacombs. That's a huge loss ..."
"Don't bother about this!"Zhang Tao said impatiently. Who could not die?
"Let the others gather and launch a surprise attack on capital city catacombs. It's good that mcmau has attracted the attention of the restricted zone. The battle in capital city catacombs has been going on for close to a hundred years. It's time to kill some more guys!
"We have to be quick. We have to give the impression that Sino nation is doing its best to save mcmau ..."
"You ... You ... If li Changsheng and Wu kuishan die in battle ... Well, let's not talk about them. Your grandchildren are also in Magic City catacombs now ..."
"That's also fate!"Zhang Tao said calmly. I've said before that the kid wasn't ruthless enough. Let's teach him a lesson and see if he still dares to cause trouble!
It's good now, there are no casualties in war!
Anyone could die, and he was no exception!
"This bastard, he's let the monster life Royal Court join the battle a few times and ruined many things. If mcmau really suffers heavy losses this time, it won't be our responsibility, it'll be his!
He doesn't consider the consequences of his actions, so I can't always clean up his mess.
He could mess around during normal times, but how could he mess around during critical moments?
You don't have any tolerance at all. At the king battle field, I either killed Ji Yao directly or I didn't provoke her. Now, we're in trouble. "
"He still hasn't appeared. Zhang Tao, is he really still in mcmau?"
"How would I know!"
"I'm not a shadow,"Zhang Tao said angrily," do you think I'll keep an eye on him?" He's hiding somewhere in seclusion. Do I have to go around looking for him? Let the Starfall Army and the Wu an Army prepare. This time, we're going to do something big!
Didn't the capital city catacombs like to fight?
After fighting for so many years, with countless deaths and injuries, they still dare to break the rules again and again. This time, we'll make them suffer a big loss!"
"Are we really going to attack the capital and not Shanghai?" Li Zhen asked again.
"Not bad!"
"That's good. I'll make the arrangements right away. But let me remind you, if Wu kuishan and Li Changsheng really fall, it might not even be worth it to take capital city!"
"I know, I don't need you to remind me!"
Zhang Tao frowned and said,"they won't die so easily. Wu kuishan and fan Haiping are both origin path martial artists. Li Changsheng is about the same."
Together with Guo shengquan and the others, they might even be able to step into the origin Dao at a critical moment ...
It's only six cities, and there are still a few monster plants that won't leave their roots until the last minute. If they die, it can only be said that they're unlucky. "
"Then the rest of mcmau ..."
"Li Zhen, don't be so wishy-washy! Someone had to die. If mcmau did not die, then capital city would suffer a great loss!
"I can't make such a choice just because Fang ping is unhappy!
"At present, attacking capital city is indeed the plan most in line with our goal. We can't choose to give up a group of martial artists in capital city just because of mcmau."
Li Zhen fell silent.
"Not only Fang ping, you still have two of your grandchildren there.
Zhang Tao did not have many grandchildren, a total of four. The two youngest were in mcmau, and Zhang Tao usually pampered them very much.
Zhang Tao ignored him and continued,"don't just sit around. Go to the Forbidden City catacombs now and wait at the Imperial sea Mountain. Wang Jinyang and the others have gone to the king's battlefield. If things go wrong, something might happen. Go and wait for the results."
"How about you?"
"I'm going to patrol the Royal Sea Mountain just in case. "Also, after the patrol, I'll go to Magic City to hold the fort. Once Magic city's catacombs are really breached, I'll have to kill those guys who break out as soon as possible!
Nan yunyue will stay in the capital and prevent any problems from occurring. "
Li Zhen thought for a while."Zhang Weiyu can still be transferred. Why don't we send him to Shanghai?" he said.
Zhang Tao pondered for a moment and said after a long time,""Zhang Weiyu is not far from the peak. After Nan yunyue breaks through, the catacombs will keep a close eye on him! "If he goes to the catacombs now, it'll be very dangerous ..."
Zhang Tao frowned."I even suspect that the catacombs are planning to do this. Recently, all the major catacombs have been in turmoil. Perhaps they are trying to divert our attention and lure Zhang Weiyu into the catacombs so that they can kill him!
"It's a pity that we don't know how the catacombs are arranged. I'm thinking about the catacombs in the Western border and the West Ocean. However, the situation is unclear and we can not let Zhang Weiyu probe them. "
Li Zhen was speechless.
Zhang Tao didn't say anything more and sighed.
The previous few battles had made everyone feel that mankind was not in a disadvantageous position, but had the tendency to counterattack.
However, reality proved that he was overthinking.
"It's fine if the catacombs don't exert their strength, but if they do, how can humans be their match?
Danger was everywhere!
Mcmau's losses were not too heavy yet, but the losses in other places were even more severe.
"What a pity. I don't know what's the situation with that kid right now. Otherwise, it'd be good to get some imperishable substances out to replenish his energy."
At the thought of this, Zhang Tao did some calculations. If he were to go to Mount Yuhai to patrol, he might be able to bump into that fellow.
He could not do anything about mcmau. He could not use Zhang Weiyu's life to bet that there were no arrangements in the catacombs.
"You can only rely on yourself. The catacombs powerhouses are afraid of death and won't enter the life-and-death stage so quickly. It's hard to say how long Li Changsheng and the others can drag it out and whether they can drag it out until you come back ..."
When Li Zhen's spiritual power receded, Zhang Tao thought for a moment and quickly took out his phone to make a call.
After a while, he said,"go to Shanghai, but don't go in easily!" "Wait for the news. If it really comes to the final juncture, bring a few people out and give up on Magic City catacombs!"
"Minister, I think I should go in ..."
"No! "Now, the monster plant imperial court must be keeping an eye on you. Once you go in and get entangled, people from the restricted area will come immediately. So, you can only end the battle quickly, take the opportunity to bring a few people away and quickly leave the battlefield ..."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Weiyu said with a sullen expression,""Damn, when will these days end? It was fine in the past, but now ..."
"You're talking to me?"Zhang Tao snapped. It's not my responsibility for you to ask Li Zhen and Nan yunyue! They've killed some people during their breakthrough, and now they're all waiting for you. Do you think you can continue to succeed?
"You shouldn't do things three times. If you want to break through ... It's best to do it on the ground. Don't think too much.
"If you really go to the catacombs, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to come out alive."
"I think it's still too early for me to break through. How can it be that easy ..."
"There's nothing we can do about that. Unless you're absolutely confident that you can escape, it'll be extremely dangerous for you to enter the catacombs. "Right now, we can't figure out where the catacombs have made arrangements. Perhaps they have arrangements everywhere.
"Many of the catacombs 'castellans have not fought before. We're not sure about their strength.
In short, don't take risks easily.
Moreover, there had been a steady stream of people entering the outer reaches from the restricted zone. There were people from all over the place, and if rank-9s did not make a move, it would be difficult to tell their strength.
Those who had stepped into the origin Dao all had similar auras, unless they deliberately revealed it.
"The catacombs are deliberately confusing us. We can only slowly test them ..."
Zhang Weiyu was furious."There are too many rank-9s in the catacombs. It's a pity that we don't have much information on them. If not, we could find a chance to kill a group of their powerhouses. We don't have to be like this, hiding here and there ..."
"How can it be that simple!"
Zhang Tao shook his head slightly."Those guys in the catacombs are all watching us. Once we go in, it'll be difficult to come out. Li Zhen and I tried to go deeper several times, but we were quickly forced back. "
Zhang Tao continued,"besides, outsiders don't know much about the Forbidden Zone." When people from the restricted area came out, and with a true king guarding them, it would be difficult to catch them. In short, it would be extremely difficult to obtain information.
"Alright, let's cut the crap. Be careful. Remember, you're not allowed to enter the catacombs unless it's the last resort!"
"Understood!"
Zhang Weiyu replied. He thought for a while and said,""Those two little girls from your family ..."
"Don't worry about them. If they really die there, then there's nothing we can do. "
Zhang Tao hung up the phone and rapped the table lightly. He did not expect Fang ping to do anything big this time. He just needed to return safely and bring back some information along the way.
"I hope nothing bad will happen. However, there are too many ninth-grade martial artists in the Forbidden Zone. That guy might not be able to reach this level. I'm afraid it's a close call."
Zhang Tao shook his head again. How would he have the chance to come into contact with the strong if he pretended to be weak?
That guy might be hanging out in some small city right now.
"The chances of something big happening at the king Battle Ground aren't high. That guy might not have a chance to sneak in. It's better to wait at the edge of the defensive Sea Mountain ..."
……
Tianzhi city.
The Golden radiance on Fang Ping's body flashed once again before disappearing.
"It's fourth-refined eighth-grade!"
Fang ping was overjoyed. He had finally achieved the fourth-refinement golden body, and his strength had increased a lot.
He stopped cultivating and walked out of the courtyard.
At this moment, Fang Ping's aura had already reached peak rank-6.
The moment he came out, he saw Jin yuhuai with a group of people. They seemed to be preparing to go out.
Fang Ping's expression did not look too good. 'Not bad. He brought a few people with him before, but now he's brought more than a dozen. These few days, this guy has been living very carefreely, roping in many martial artists from the outer regions.'
"Brother Jin, where are you going?"
Fang ping chuckled. Jin yuhuai turned to look at Fang ping. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly laughed and said,"Congratulations, brother kui. This speed is too fast. You've already reached the peak of battle general?"
"I'm alright, thanks to Your Highness's reward. "
Fang ping gave a perfunctory reply. Jin yuhuai laughed hurriedly and said, "It's like this. Recently, a lot of important people have come to the city, and some of the Highnesses have arrived. I heard that the Tianming Royal Court will also send people here today, so we are going to take a look."
"Someone from Tianming Royal Court came?"
Fang Ping's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said,"that's just nice. I've just broken through. I'm interested in going out to take a look. Shall we go together?"
Jin yuhuai cursed in his heart. If I go with you ... I'm afraid I'll be killed by the heavenly plant Army.
However, since Fang ping wanted to go, he could not say anything. He laughed dryly and said, "That's good. If brother kui doesn't mind, we can go together. "
Fang ping did not hesitate. He did not follow, but walked right at the front. Jin yuhuai and the others behind him could only follow.
