Chapter 1256: A New Situation in Iceland
Fifteen years later, the sky is still covered with thick clouds, the snow is still pouring down, and the cold wind is raging and howling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Holy City of the Eight Palaces, shrouded in the 'Eight Palaces of Daozang', is solemn and magnificent, but quietly, it is also full of slaughter that is different from the past.
In a restaurant in the center of the Water Spirit Holy City, at this moment, several men were gathering together, looking at the delicacies on the table, they couldn't raise any appetite, they just poured stuffy wine vigorously.
I can't help but feel a dull and depressing atmosphere in the restaurant.
"Hey, I didn't expect that even Shen Chang's guy died in the source of the Five Elements. He's the strongest of us. I'm afraid it won't be long before it's our people's turn. The blue-robed man with a delicate appearance and luxurious clothes put the wine glass on the table and said in a hoarse voice.
"yes, I can't think of it at all. Shen Chang is a veteran of the Fourth Court of Law Enforcement, and he has suppressed evil demons many times, and he is powerful, and he dare not say that he is invincible, but in the Yuan Infant Period, he can be regarded as strong. Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the source of the Five Elements, he would fall directly. ”
"Hey, time flies. I remember fifteen years ago, the Fourth Law Enforcement Court disagreed with the public, and without warning, half of the troops were divided and headed for the source of the five elements. In the month he arrived, he had a tragic conflict with the army of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. I thought that the army of our Northern Drifting Snow Palace was strong enough. But those guys from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect are simply crazy. Rushing to kill, there is no reason to speak of, completely regardless of the cost. I can't even remember how many times I've asked for help from the front. ”
"Okay, don't mention it. I don't know how many days there will be when we get together to drink like this, and we will have fun in time. ”
A man of about forty years old threw away the flask, grabbed a roasted golden animal leg, and gnawed it without regard to the image.
Seeing this, several other people also shook their heads helplessly. The fear and helplessness in my heart were also vented on the food.
A few tables away from the two, a young man in a black robe about twenty years old was putting one hand on the window, holding a wine jug and drinking himself. While pricking up his ears, he took in the conversations of several people.
The young man's face was resolute, faintly mixed with a trace of the vicissitudes and tiredness of hardship, it was Zhou Nan.
Now, three full months have passed since he survived.
And just treating that horrific injury took him more than two months of work.
For most of the next half month, after the ancient half-passed the test, he left the space directly.
The first time he stepped out of the Thunder Temple, looking at the endless crowd on the street, Zhou Nan had the illusion of being in a different world.
He stood quietly on the street for more than a quarter of an hour, and only then did he dispel the silence caused by his cultivation and return to his normal state.
According to the instructions of the ancient half-man, after letting him leave, he went directly to the Ice God Temple to find Nangong Zhengchang, and this old man was sitting there.
But Zhou Nan didn't do what he said, and came directly to the Water Spirit Holy City.
He planned to meet Shangnangong Ruoxue before that.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and I don't know what happened, he couldn't contact Nangong Ruoxue at all.
Helpless, Zhou Nan could only find a restaurant and take a break.
By the way, gather information and understand the situation first.
Fifteen years ago, there was an undercurrent of turmoil.
Fifteen years later, the situation has changed dramatically.
In addition to the direction of the blue-robed man, there were also all kinds of discussions on the other tables.
Zhou Nan sat on the edge of the bed casually, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time, and when he was full of wine and food, he knew everything about the current situation.
It is true that during the fifteen years of his retreat and penance, several great things did happen in the Northern Drifting Snow Palace.
The most important thing is the common concern of the blue-robed man and others.
The expeditionary operation of the Northern Drifting Snow Palace against the source of the Five Elements seems to have fallen into a huge disadvantage.
And this is still in the case of joining forces with the Fire Domain and Wood Domain Monks.
It can be seen that the demon of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is mighty and invincible.
The battle situation failed to achieve the imaginary victory, but the monks on the front line fell in a large area, and the whole of the North Soul Drifting Snow Palace was shocked.
But at this time, it is impossible to withdraw troops, and with such a big investment, no one will give up, and they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
The reason why the battle situation is so inferior is not that the three-domain alliance composed of the Northern Drifting Snow Palace and the Wood Domain Fire Domain is really inferior to the army of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. But when the Great War began, there were eight super masters in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, all of whom were at the peak of the five steps.
The existence of these eight commanders has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and the three domains alliance army that fought it can't raise its head at all.
The immortal cultivation world is like this, when the personal strength is strong to a certain extent, it is enough to influence the trend of the situation.
These eight commanders are not only terrifying in terms of personal strength. The three of them join forces, and they can compete with the power of infant transformation without falling behind. And in terms of combat, he has amazing attainments. The deployment of troops can be called treacherous. The Three Regions Alliance has no one to beat.
In the battle of the immortal cultivation world, there are as many monks as a cow, putting aside the terrifying destructive power, it is like preparing for a secular army war.
At this time, unless the strength is extremely strong, the merits of coordinated operations will be the biggest factor in determining the right and left.
In terms of the Three Domains Alliance, not only is the high-end combat power inferior to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, but even the commander-in-chief seems to be far behind.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that since the immortal cultivator stepped into the immortal cultivation realm, all his thoughts have been on continuous cultivation.
Maybe in this process, some people are involved in formations, pills, refining weapons and other professions, but those who really work hard to lead troops to fight can't be said to be no, it's definitely rare.
On weekdays, the world is peaceful, and everything is fine. But as soon as he arrived at the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it became a fatal wound.
In contrast, the mysterious Eight Commanders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect are simply existences born and lived for war.
Fortunately, although the Three-Domain Alliance was inferior, the defense line shrank many times.
But the strength is really strong, and it can hold its ground.
The people of the Northern Drifting Snow Palace didn't know what to think, but the monks of the Wood Domain and the Fire Domain all shouted luck.
This time, fortunately, there was the support of the Northern Darkness Drifting Snow Palace, otherwise, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would have shown the eight commanders at the beginning. How can you fight such a battle? Directly admit defeat!
In this regard, while the North Drifting Snow Palace was angry on the one hand, it was more full of fire.
How could they help the Wood Domain and the Fire Domain resist the Ten Thousand Demon Sect? Is it clear that they are grabbing territory?
But unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and they fell into the quagmire, and they could not extricate themselves from it, so as to help the loss of the army.
In addition to a series of conscriptions, raising materials and other issues caused by expeditionary operations, fifteen years ago, the end of the saint's recruitment ceremony was also often mentioned.
At this time, the expressions of nostalgia, doubt, and curiosity on everyone's faces are very rich.
Undoubtedly, the ceremony of recruiting relatives of the saint fifteen years ago ended in failure.
This is not to say that there is no leader, but Lei Ming, who has the most points in the end, has not yet sat on the throne of the leader, and was directly defeated by Nangong Ruoxue, who suddenly appeared, with a sword. The difference in each other's strength is simply like mud.
As early as the beginning of the Holy Maiden's Marriage Ceremony, Nangong Ruoxue had already made a statement. If the leader can't defeat her, naturally everything will be Hugh. The thunder through the secret realm of the heavenly capital has brought great benefits to the Northern Drifting Snow Palace.
It's a pity, who made himself weak?
Of course, according to the agreement, although Lei Ming lost, he could make a request to the North Drifting Snow Palace.
However, this request has not been made public.
In short, as soon as the saint's marriage ceremony ended, Lei Ming left Iceland directly, without the slightest commotion, and disappeared.
Looking at his behavior, he doesn't seem to be very sad.
As for the other outsiders, most of the monks who knew that they had no hope of winning the championship were the first to leave without waiting for the end of the ceremony of the saint's marriage.
Today, there are no outsiders who are still stranded in Iceland. But every slap counted, and Zhou Nan was one of them.
Half an hour passed in a flash, Zhou Nan paid off the wine money, and left the restaurant silently and went to the Ice Temple alone.
In front of the huge and majestic Ice God Temple, Zhou Nan stood with his head up, his expression very complicated.
He was terrified of this place.
You know, back then, he was the big witch hidden by Ji Wuzang, and he was used as an experiment for a whole year.
The past is unbearable, and every time he thinks of this, the corners of Zhou Nan's mouth twitch for a while.
Fortunately, it is the mysterious Nangong Zhengchang who now sits in the Ice God Temple, not the Great Witch Ji Wuzang.
Otherwise, whether he has the courage to go in is really a matter of two words.
After a brief pause in the same place, Zhou Nan stepped into the Ice Divine Temple.
The moment Zhou Nan came to the Ice Temple, he was discovered by Nangong Zhengbian.
Therefore, the guards were also informed, and Zhou Nan was not investigated.
In this way, Zhou Nan soon reached the top floor.
In front of some dim gates, as soon as Zhou Nan arrived, the door in front of him opened.
Seeing this, Zhou Nan strode in.
Stepping on the soft animal skin carpet, Zhou Nan went straight all the way.
Soon, we came to the center of the main hall.
Looking around, I saw that ten zhang ahead, behind the nine steps, a huge ice-blue throne was standing quietly.
And above, it was empty.
But who knows, at the moment when Zhou Nan blinked, above the throne, the space was distorted, and a silver figure suddenly appeared.
"Junior Zhou Nan, I've seen Nangong's senior!" Seeing that Nangong was appearing, Zhou Nan hurriedly saluted and said respectfully.
"Get up. Nangong Zhengbian nodded, and said straight to the point, "Lord Banyan has already informed this seat of your matter. You should also be aware of your mission. In that case, then this seat will not be polite to you. ”
"If there is anything in the seniors, just ask for it. ”
Zhou Nan's expression was grim, but in his heart, he already had some guesses.
"You left the Celestial Crystal Barrier, and you didn't come to see me at the first time, so you seem to know the current situation. As rumored by the outside world, the expedition of the Northern Drifting Snow Palace to the source of the Five Elements has fallen into huge trouble. This seat needs you to restart a new chapter for the expedition. ”
The stunned look on Zhou Nan's face flashed, "The seniors really look up to the juniors, but unfortunately, the juniors are really powerless." ”
Without thinking about it, Zhou Nan decisively refused.
When it comes to the war between the four domains, how can he be influenced by a mere primordial infant existence?
I'm afraid that the power of the infant transformation period will not dare to say this.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse this matter. You are from the Yan Kingdom, and you should know that the underground of the Yan Kingdom is where the heavenly machine of the source of the Five Elements is located. And the reopening of the new chapter that this seat is talking about has to do with this matter. Nangong Zheng tapped his fingers on the back of the chair and said quietly.
"Yes, where the heavenly machine is, the younger generation does know. But I don't know, what does the word Tianji mean?"
"What is the heavenly machine, not to mention you, even this seat, I don't know very well. But according to ancient legends, where the heavenly opportunity is, it is the chance. Those who have the opportunity will open a new brigade of the Dao. It is precisely because of this temptation that countless people covet the heavenly opportunity. ”
"I see. But what does this have to do with the expedition that the predecessors said?" Zhou Nan pondered for a moment and said with a frown.
"It's simple. The reason why the Ten Thousand Demon Sect set off a monstrous war is precisely related to the Heavenly Machine. Although with the current power of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it is not difficult to monopolize the Yan Kingdom. But occupation is one thing, and it is difficult to say whether it can be held or not. What the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is doing now is to clean up other threatening existences before the Heavenly Machine is opened, so that there will be a showdown in the future, and when the Heavenly Machine really comes, there will be less resistance. ”
When Zhou Nan heard this, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he said in a deep voice, "What the predecessor means is that your palace plans to take the lead in entering the Yan Kingdom!"
