Chapter 330 The Invasion of the Dark Wizard (Super chapter of nearly 20000 words)
Jessica, the leader of the werewolves, transformed into a wolf form again.

He dragged his neck and howled to his heart's content, calling the lonely clansmen in this way.

The werewolves have been on the road for too long recently, and there are often situations where the clansmen are left alone.

Jessica knew that this was very fatal, because they had to stop and wait if the clansmen were alone.

The lone wolf is sure to die in an unfamiliar environment, without any suspense.

The werewolves have a tradition of never abandoning or giving up.

Even for old, weak, sick and disabled werewolves, they will always help them to the end.

This is the tradition of the ethnic group, and Jessica has always insisted on it.

Although he himself was at a loss about the way ahead, he knew very well that he must not have the slightest hesitation at this time.

At least he couldn't show hesitation.

He is the patriarch, the leader of the pack of wolves.

As long as he doesn't panic, the wolves will not panic.

But if even he panicked, the people of that tribe would definitely behave in a panic.

This is certainly not what Jessica wants to see.

The werewolves are not like those big tribes. They also struggled to survive in the cracks when they were in the continent of Allen Lore.

They don't have a fixed territory of their own, they can only constantly shuttle between the territories of the major tribes and live a wandering life.

This experience of surviving in the cracks forged their strong desire to win, and also enabled them to show sufficient combat effectiveness when facing the enemy.

Of course, for this small tribal group, every individual is very important.

This is also the root cause of their refusal to abandon any of their clansmen.

Because only by twisting all individuals into one rope, can they have a chance to overcome their fate and fight for a way out.

Life is not easy, but this is by no means a reason for them to give up easily.

At least Jessica never gave up.

In a little while the sky will slowly light up.

Jessica took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

He knew very well what dawn meant.They will have to transform into human form again following ancient tradition.

And the speed of traveling in human form is not the same as that in wolf form.

There is no doubt that the entire werewolf tribe was delayed because of the Jessica tribe's lagging behind.

They should have walked an extra hundred miles by now.

But there is no way, Jessica can't give up her tribe.

"Ow"

Jessica raised her neck and howled again, calling out to her clansmen.

The howl of a werewolf can be heard over great distances.Jessica believed that the tribe would respond as soon as they heard it, and rushed all the way along the direction of the sound.

He believed in the tribe, and he believed that the tribe would not let him down.

Jessica now has a very clear goal, that is Chang'an.

According to the ancient legends of the ethnic group, Chang'an City is an extremely rich place.

The people there are also very inclusive, and they can treat people of different races equally without any discrimination.

This is also the fundamental reason why Jessica decided to lead the people to Chang'an.

When they were in the continent of Allen Lore, they had all the white eyes.

It can be said that no matter who they are, they dare to bully them severely.

Because the werewolves are the only one-person and two-state people in the Allen Lore continent.

This is regarded as an outlier by the people in the Allen Lore continent.

Outliers will naturally be excluded.

But from Jessica's point of view, they didn't do anything wrong, did they?

They neither burned, killed, looted, nor committed crimes. Could it be that they have to bear all this just because they are werewolves?
Why?

Jessica was in disbelief, incomprehensible.

In a daze, he could only lead his clansmen to hide in XZ, and he could only lead his clansmen to escape all hostile eyes.

To be honest, he has had enough of this kind of life hiding from XZ.

So Jessica wants to change, he wants to change everything.

He couldn't bear this kind of life any longer.

Even if it is to come to a completely new world, even if it is to give it a go in this unknown world, it is far better than staying in the continent of Alan Lore.

He no longer has any nostalgia for the continent of Allen Lore.

Let that place die slowly.

It's been invaded by the Corruptor anyway.

None of the undead and demons are fuel-efficient lamps.

In Jessica's view, the people there can't last long, and it's only a matter of time before they die.

Jessica is going to embrace this new world with open arms.

Of course, Jessica has alternatives.

If the people in Chang'an City did not choose to accept them, he could also bring his clansmen to settle in Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain is also a blessed place.

Living in Zhongnan Mountain can restore the vitality of the werewolf tribe to the greatest extent, and even allow the tribe to thrive here.

This is a great opportunity to expand your group.

Jessica had already made up her mind that they wanted to fight for their own territory in Zhongnan Mountain.

In this way, they can free their hands and feet to develop the ethnic group.

After having their own territory, they no longer have to look at other people's faces, no longer have to migrate endlessly, and avoid being chased and killed by other races.

His wish is very simple, that is, to live a stable life with his clansmen.

He felt that this request was really not too much.

The prerequisite for all this to happen is that they must arrive near Chang'an as soon as possible.

After the door of darkness is opened, all tribes will pass through this magical door and try their best to fight for the best interests of the tribe.

The sooner they arrive in Chang'an, the sooner those tribes can win more benefits.

Of course Jessica understands this, so Jessica will try her best to help the clansmen tap their potential.

For the werewolves, the speed of traveling is engraved in their bones.

In wolf form they can travel hundreds of miles in one night.

This can far leave other tribes except the Dragon Clan behind.

Of course, there is no way for the Dragon Clan.

Because dragons can ride dragons and fly.

In any case, flying is always faster than running.

Jessica knew very well that no matter what, she couldn't get entangled any longer.

Time is precious to them.

"Ow"

Jessica began howling again for her people.

This time the howling seemed to have an effect.

Jessica heard the response.

The response was weak, but Jessica was sure he heard it.

"Ow."

Werewolves have very sensitive hearing, and they can even judge the identity of their clansmen by their weak howls.

It seemed to Jessica that the howl was coming from the smallest individual in the pack, Vanessa.

That's right, it should be Vanessa, Jessica knew he couldn't be mistaken.

"Aww, ow"

Jessica immediately responded like a werewolf, and if Vanessa heard his howl, she would come in this direction soon!

"It's really Vanessa, it's really you!"

The moment he saw Vanessa, Jessica was very excited. He rubbed his head against Vanessa's head, expressing his joy at the moment in this way.

Of course, this is also a way to appease Vanessa.

Jessica knew very well that Vanessa must be terrified now, and he had to try his best to appease Vanessa to prevent her from having an emotional breakdown.

You must know that Vanessa is the youngest individual in the werewolf family, not even an adult.

Vanessa, who was still a child, got separated from the tribe during the tribe's journey.

A person is in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the feeling of being helpless and unaccompanied makes people desperate.

Vanessa is also constantly expressing her joy by rubbing her head.

Vanessa was well aware of how much Chief Jessica had gone to find her.

This is not easy.

After all, the ethnic group can leave her behind and choose to continue walking.

But the ethnic group didn't, the ethnic group stayed for her.

This moved Vanessa very much.

The ethnic group still hasn't given up on her.

"Great, all of this is really great, being able to get together with the clansmen, the emotion in my heart at this moment is hard to describe in words."

Vanessa is full of gratitude.

"Say what you do, these are what we should do, we are clansmen, we are a family, so we have no reason to abandon you."

"Well"

Vanessa was moved to tears.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, the sky will dawn soon, we need to find a suitable place to transform into human form."

This is no longer the case when they were in the wilderness at the beginning.

They must avoid the crowd as much as possible when changing forms.

Because once people in this world are monsters who can switch between human and human forms at will, they will definitely have a grudge against them.

Although the people of this world are said to be very tolerant, Jessekai felt that they would also show their angry side when outsiders threatened their own existence.

Anyway, Jessica didn't want to take the risk.

Since you can switch forms in a more secluded environment, why take risks?

"Okay, it's almost dawn, let's hide and switch to adult form."

The high priest of Mozong looked at the majestic city in front of him, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Here we are, this city is Chang'an City."

The black wizard Augustine seemed a little excited. He had wanted to come to Chang'an City for a long time, but when he really saw this mighty city with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it.

"Is this really Chang'an City? You wouldn't just find a city and come here to deceive us, would you?"

"That's right, what if this guy randomly identified a city just to deceive us?"

The black wizard Francis also chimed in.

After all, they have been deceived more than once by the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

The High Priest of the Demon Sect has repeatedly said that it will be here soon, but it turns out that he has been going around in circles.

Can they still trust the High Priest of the Demon Sect now?

Francis really didn't know.

Augustine also displayed a gesture of mistrust.

The high priest of the Mozong was helpless for a while.

He knows that it is very difficult to build trust, but it can be destroyed in an instant.

It was clear that the bond of trust between them was broken.

So now he must regain the trust of the other party.

This is of course an extremely difficult thing, but he must try.

If you don't try, you will never have a chance. If you try, at least it is possible.

"What do you have to say so that you will believe that the city in front of you is Chang'an City?"

The high priest of the Mozong knew that no matter what he said now, the dark wizards would not trust them, so the best way was to give the choice to the black wizards.

Once the black wizards themselves asked a question, and the High Priest of the Demon Sect was able to answer the question, the rest of the matter would be solved easily.

"If we can walk in, then this is Chang'an City."

As the leader of the group of black wizards, Augustine's words certainly have a certain authority.

He knew very well that there was a large formation in Chang'an City, which could prevent any outsiders from entering.

This may sound a bit mystical at first, but it is true.

Although the group of black wizards has boundless mana, they belong to outsiders after all.

According to this theory, once the black wizards try to enter Chang'an City, they will be crazily expelled by the ban of Chang'an City.

The protection mechanism of Chang'an City is usually in a dormant state, but once activated, it will show unprecedented power.

The black wizard Augustine wants to give it a try. This is the most effective way to test whether the city in front of him is Chang'an City.

He looked towards Francis beside him, and Francis nodded.

Now that everyone has reached a consensus, there is nothing to worry about.

As for the high priest of the Demon Sect, if he refuses, it means that he has a ghost in his heart.

Of course the high priest of the Demon Sect knew that he couldn't refuse at this time anyway, and he had to be very obedient at this time.

No matter what the dark wizards say, there is only one thing he has to do, and that is to obey.

Obedience can solve many things and solve many unnecessary troubles.

"It's really worth a try right now, but I still have to remind you of one thing, that is, Chang'an City's forbidden mana is very powerful, you'd better use magic to form a defensive air shield to protect the vital parts of your body, if you don't, it may be extremely embarrassing scene."

The high priest of the Demon Sect knew where his own point was, and where the boundaries were.

As long as he keeps this boundary, it won't make people feel awkward.

"Okay, we got it."

Sure enough, the black wizards headed by Augustine thanked the High Priest of the Mozong for his reminder immediately.

Then they chanted a spell, covering themselves with an invisible protective shield.

After that, they resolutely walked towards Chang'an City.

Although they knew that everything was a temptation, they still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Once there is any abnormality, they will evacuate immediately.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps.

Just when they were only [-] steps away from Chang'an City, an invisible huge Gang Qi rushed towards them.

Almost all Dark wizards know what this means.

But they have a powerful magic shield as a defense, so there is no panic.

It seems that this city is really restricted.

But Chang'an City is not the only city with restrictions.

What they have to do now is to test the quality of this prohibition.

If this restriction is strong enough to threaten them, then there is no doubt that this is Chang'an City.

If there is no threat to them, then they will put a big question mark on this city.

After all, it was not the first time that the High Priest of the Demon Sect called a deer a horse, and there was nothing wrong with them being more cautious with the lessons learned from the past.

boom!
The moment the powerful Gang Qi collided with the protective shields of the black wizards, it aroused tremendous force.

Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, anyone with a discerning eye knows how powerful this force is.

Traces of fragmentation began to appear on the magic masks of the dark wizards, and almost everyone held their breath.

Can they withstand this enormous force?
Make no mistake, it's a big gamble.

But Augustine seemed intrigued.

He decided to take a gamble, even if he lost the bet, it didn't matter.

Anyway, most of them were injured, and under the protection of the protective cover, they would not suffer so-called fatal injuries.

Bang bang bang.
Just like the sound of an egg shell cracking, at this moment Augustine heard a sound that could not be more obvious.

Then almost instantly, his shield was completely shattered.It wasn't that there was a crack, nor that there was a crack, but that it was completely shattered and shattered into dross.

This made Augustine feel incredible.

How could something so good become like this?
This was really beyond his expectation.

The powerful magical air shield is useless in front of this forbidden qi.

How is this possible?
"Get out of the way."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew very well how powerful this force was, so he immediately reminded the black wizards.

He knew that his reminder had to be just right, neither too early nor too late.

If he reminded too early, these dark wizards would undoubtedly show impatience.

But if he reminded too late, the dark wizards would suffer substantial harm and blame him.

Of course the high priest of the Demon Sect knew the severe restrictions in Chang'an City.

The reason why he confronted the head of the mountain outside Chang'an city was that he didn't want to be affected by the ban.

His own absolute strength is not as good as that of Shan Zhang. If part of his strength is limited by the restriction, then he will have no chance of winning.

"perhaps you're right."

After escaping the danger in time, the black wizard Augustine still had lingering fears.

Of course, he is grateful to the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

If there is no timely reminder from the High Priest of the Demon Sect, they will all be injured.

Even if they were not fatally injured, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

This time it was indeed the High Priest of the Demon Sect who saved them.

Even Francis, who has always been rebellious and often hated the High Priest of the Demon Sect, cast a grateful look at the High Priest of the Demon Sect this time.

"Thanks to you this time, it seems that we have wrongly blamed you."

The High Priest of the Mozong was already happy at this moment, and his goal had been achieved.

He's earned the trust of the Dark wizarding community, at least so far.

Although this trust is only temporary.

But enough is enough.Many things in this world are not so-called fixed.

He is already very content to be able to temporarily win trust.

"So what do we do next?"

This doubt was first raised by the black wizard Augustine.

As the leader of the black wizard, he must lead the way in time.

"Of course the best way is not to enter the city. My suggestion is that we go to Zhongnan Mountain first."

"Zhongnan Mountain?"

"Yes"

The words of the High Priest of the Demon Sect stunned the black wizards.

"Didn't you say that Zhongnan Mountain is the site of the academy, the site of the head of the mountain?"

"In this case, why do we go to the academy at this time? Isn't this equivalent to scaring the snake?"

The black wizard Augustine was very puzzled.

Going to the academy at this time, the head of the mountain will definitely be aware of it.

"I didn't say we're going to live in Zhongnanshan, I just said go and have a look first."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect, You You, said: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy is invincible in every battle. Only by finding out the reality of the enemy first, can we make targeted arrangements before the duel, so that the chances of winning will be higher."

Well.
Augustine admitted that he was somewhat persuaded by the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

There is no doubt that the plan of the High Priest of the Demon Sect is reasonable from all angles.

Since it was reasonable, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Because if he refuses, he is simply showing his ego.

This is a label that Augustine would not want to be labeled under any circumstances.

"Okay, let's go to Zhongnan Mountain to take a look first. But we have to explain one thing first, that is, we can't have any form of confrontation with the academy. We must ensure that we are strictly on the sidelines."

Augustine's words had already been expected by the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

He nodded lightly and said: "Naturally. We don't need to fight them rashly. Because once this happens, there will be a fierce battle, which will definitely affect our overall arrangement."

"Okay, since it's been agreed, let's go to Zhongnan Mountain. Where is Zhongnan Mountain?"

"A few tens of miles south of Chang'an City, we can see it all the way south."

Zhongnan Mountain is not actually a mountain, but a collective name for mountains.

So the academy occupies only a small part of Zhongnan Mountain.

So even if the high priest of the Demon Sect and the black wizards went to Mount Zhongnan, the possibility of encountering the disciples of the academy was very small.

Unless they take the initiative to approach the academy or even provoke them.

This, of course, was rejected by Augustine.

He tried his best to test the academy, but he didn't want a fierce battle to break out.

Because obviously, now is not the time.

The undead clan and the demon clan have not yet reached Chang'an, nor have they reached Zhongnan Mountain.

If you do something at this time, the black wizards can only rely on themselves.

Of course, there is also a high priest of the Demon Sect who is not very reliable.

The High Priest of the Demon Sect was unqualified as a guide, so it was hard to imagine how important he could be in the decisive battle.

So if the black wizards can only rely on themselves in the war now, the chances of winning will be low.

But if the battle is delayed, the situation will be completely different.

As long as they wait for the Corruptors - undead and demons, they can get a powerful ally.

Even a mighty mountain leader might not feel comfortable facing the attack of the Corruptor, right?
In the eyes of the black wizards, the mountain chief is indeed the strongest in this world, so there is no problem with them using siege.

Victory without force?In their view, winning itself is more important.

"Maybe it's time to make an understanding, this world belongs to us after all."

"Well, I didn't expect this stewed noodles to taste so delicious. It seems that my cooking skills have improved a lot."

Zhao Xun boasted proudly while tasting the braised noodles that had just been made.

Now that his reputation as the chef god of the academy has been confirmed, Zhao Xun naturally wants to enjoy the carefree beauty brought by the aura.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

And cooking can make Zhao Xun truly feel happy.This feeling can inspire Zhao Xun to enjoy life better.

Life does not require so many so-called luxurious decorations, but a sense of ritual is essential.

Moreover, Zhao Xun made more than one kind of noodles for making noodles this time.In this way, no matter what flavor the brothers and sisters want to eat, he can basically satisfy them.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes people drool.

Since he made noodles, it was difficult for Zhao Xun to carry them alone, so he only filled a small portion of each type of braised noodles, and then took the finished braised noodles to the living area of ​​the bamboo building where the disciples of the academy gathered.

"Come to try the dishes. The brothers and sisters are here to try the dishes."

Zhao Xun is very clear that the senior brothers and sisters have no resistance to his cooking.

So now is the time to show his strength.

"What, the younger brother has made a new dish again?"

"No way, no way, little junior brother is too versatile. He made new dishes so quickly? Isn't this too amazing?"

"What is it this time? The spicy hot pot last time is really haunting."

"Yeah, the taste of the spicy hot pot is really amazing. This thing is simply a magic weapon."

The third senior brother and the sixth senior brother were chatting excitedly, and all of a sudden they were spitting all over the place.

Uh.
Although Zhao Xun was far away, he could still obviously feel embarrassed.

The third senior brother and the sixth senior brother are also members of the youth group of the academy, can't they pay attention to their image?
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a moment.He knew that it might be a good choice to just sit quietly and watch at this time.

"Well, this noodle stew tastes really good, how long have you boiled the soup, little brother?"

"Uh, it didn't take long, about an hour."

"It's not short for an hour, little junior brother, you have broken your heart because of the large number of people in our academy. We really feel a little embarrassed."

"Uh, there is no need for this. I don't think it's too complicated. Anyway, I think the process of cooking is very enjoyable. The feeling of being completely empty makes people very intoxicated."

"Well, it's great that you think so."

Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan nodded frequently and said: "In my opinion, you are more transparent now, Junior Brother."

The third senior brother did not keep his mouth idle when he praised Zhao Xun, and the storm inhaled the noodles from time to time.

The noodles could not survive long under Long Qingquan's mouth.

"Well"

The second senior sister Liu Yingying was also completely conquered by Zhao Xun's craftsmanship.

She doesn't like to eat pasta on weekdays, and she basically eats rice every meal.

But this time Liu Yingying also started to try the noodles made by Zhao Xun, the taste of the noodles is really delicious
"Junior brother, you must tell me what you do, and I will ask Yao Yan to make it for me."

"Uh"

For a moment, Zhao Xun was extremely embarrassed.

He thought that the Second Senior Sister's question was to cook for Yao Jianxian.It seemed that he was thinking too much.

From this point of view, Yao Yan's status in the family is not very high.

"Okay, no problem. Bao Xue Bao Hui."

Although Zhao Xun didn't believe that the second senior sister would ask Yao Jianxian to eat, but he still agreed without hesitation.

If the second senior sister wants to say hello, he will naturally cooperate with all his strength, there is no need to argue about these details.

Anyway, making the Second Senior Sister happy is more important than anything else.

Zhao Xun understood this point.

"Well, the old man Shanchang has been recuperating for a while, so it's really a pity that he can't taste so many delicacies."

"That's right, the head of the mountain usually likes to eat the dishes made by the younger brother. It's a pity that the younger brother has researched so many new dishes, but the head of the mountain can't taste any of them."

"Do you think the head of the mountain will smell the fragrance of these new dishes?"

"Probably not? The head of the mountain is not a spirit beast, how could he be so exaggerated?"

"It's really hard to say."

Zhao Xun secretly cursed in his heart, if the head of the mountain knew what the brothers and sisters were thinking at the moment, he didn't know how he would feel.

However, Shan Chang's mouth has never been lost.

Even if Zhao Xun loses to anyone, it is impossible to lose to the head of the mountain, and has been secretly giving the head of the mountain a little trouble.

As long as he researches a new dish, he will definitely make another one for the head of the mountain.

This is not only because Zhao Xun wants to respect the head of the mountain, but also because the head of the mountain is a top glutton.

The head of the mountain can give Zhao Xun many useful suggestions after trying the dishes.

In this way, it will naturally help to improve Zhao Xun's cooking skills.

Cooking is definitely a thing that gets better with practice. With the guidance of an expert, Zhao Xun can also avoid detours.

"Tsk tsk tsk, brothers and sisters, eat first, and I'll bring some more."

"Okay."

At this moment, the senior brothers and sisters are feasting on their own pride, and Zhao Xun was very touched to be able to take a moment to respond to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun thought in his heart that it is really not an easy thing to feed the brothers and sisters.

All of them are big stomach kings, and they are indeed the apprentices taught by the head of the mountain.

Well, since he has decided to do feeding, he must stick to it.

No matter how much the brothers and sisters eat, he will feed them.

This time, Zhao Xun did not hesitate to lift the food basket with both hands, and put the noodles into the food basket in advance, so that he could load more at one time.

Otherwise, according to the posture of the brothers and sisters, I don't know how many times u Zhao Xun will run back and forth.

Save some energy if you can.

As for the old man Shan Chang, we can only ask him to wait a little longer.

Anyway, his old man always eats last, so he doesn't care anymore.

After all, Zhao Xun still can't leave at this moment, otherwise it would be bad to arouse the suspicion of the senior brothers and sisters.

You have to be sneaky about opening a small stove, and it will be over if you are discovered.

The head of the mountain must also understand this truth.

So Zhao Xun felt that there would be no problems with his decision.

First feed the brothers and sisters, and finally feed the mountain chief.

As for Zhao Xun himself, he can eat whatever he wants, he is not picky about food.

Alas, in this world, there are only food and love that cannot be let down.

"Shan Zhang, Shan Zhang, you'd better come back quickly. If you keep retreating like this, I will have to run at both ends. I feel sorry for your little disciple. After all, I am also your closed disciple, the youngest of the academy."

The High Priest of Mozong personally led the group of black wizards to Mount Zhongnan.

This is also the first time he has come to Zhongnan Mountain after nearly half a year.

He can still clearly remember the scene when he came to Zhongnan Mountain last time. The humiliation he felt when he came to Zhongnan Mountain but did not dare to enter made the high priest of the Demon Sect swear that one day he would come back here again, The humiliation is called the head of the mountain, and all the disciples of the academy are called back!
The High Priest of the Demon Sect did it.

Only this time he borrowed the hands of others.

With the addition of the group of black wizards, the High Priest of the Demon Sect felt much more confident.

Of course, as far as it is concerned, it is far from being able to win this battle steadily.

Therefore, the High Priest of the Demon Sect was only here to test the truth, and did not really want to start a full-scale war.

"This is Zhongnan Mountain. Zhongnan Mountain is very large and long. It is difficult to find out how many masters are hidden here in a short period of time, but I can clearly detect that there is a strong atmosphere of practitioners here."

The high priest of the Mozong said with certainty that this undoubtedly made a kind of dark wizards including Augustine feel complicated.

"You mean, there are not only academy disciples here, but also other practitioners?"

"Yes, the aura emitted by these practitioners makes me feel very strange. I am almost sure that they are not academy disciples."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect spread his hands, and said calmly: "So let's not be careless in the slightest, we must search a little bit, and only after all the dangers are eliminated can we really rest assured."

"Um"

The words of the High Priest of the Demon Sect caused the black wizard Augustine to fall into deep thought.

It has to be said that the words of the High Priest of the Demon Sect are very reasonable.

Augustine had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he had to be cautious.

"Then start the search. You are familiar with this place, so let you lead the way. Don't let us down."

The high priest of the Mozong wanted to slander after hearing this.

What does it mean that he is familiar with this place? He has only been here once in total.

That's all, who said that the dark wizards are so many and powerful.

At this time, he no longer argues with reason.

"Okay, then let's start from the west first. But to be on the safe side, we still restrain our true energy to prevent being noticed."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect, Xin Dao, has learned from the ban on Chang'an City. Presumably, the black wizards should be able to realize the importance of restraining their true energy, right?

This place is very close to the academy, once the academy disciples find out, it's no joke.

Although they have a large number of people and their strength is not bad, starting a war rashly is contrary to their original plan.

"Okay, let's restrain our true energy."

The Elf King Odysseyka could clearly feel a movement in the forest.

This movement did not seem to be from a wild animal.

Because the movement of the beast is very raw and undisguised.

But the movement here seems to have some regularity.

Odysseyka took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He has to sense with his heart, sense all the changes in the forest.

This will help him sense some details, which is very useful.

When he was in Allen Lore Continent, he has been using this method to sense, and achieved very good results.

Now that he is in the new world, he intends to try whether the old method will work as well.

Well.
The Elf King Odysseyka worked hard to sense everything around him, and he could smell some smells, familiar smells.

It seems to be the smell of a human magician.
No, it's not a human magician, but the smell of a dark wizard!

As a high-level tribe that masters magic, the elves can still clearly distinguish the taste of dark wizards and magicians.

Odysseyka was sure that there must be a dark wizard within a radius of ten miles.

But how did the black wizards come to Mount Zhongnan? Could it be that they also passed through the portal of darkness and came to this brand new world?

Odysseyka felt that only this explanation was more reasonable.

After all, the dark wizards are a group of alienated magicians independent of the human kingdom.

Their philosophy is very different from that of magicians in the usual sense. What they have to do is to summon the God of Darkness to appear in the world.

From this point of view, there are many similarities with the Corruptors - the undead race.

Of course, Odysseyka knows very well that the two are completely different.

It's just that there are similarities in the specific operation methods, that's all.

call.
Odysseyka carefully analyzed the number of opponents.

one, two, three, five
Odyssey counted more and more cards, and couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

How could there be so many people on the other side?
what does this mean?
It means that the dark wizard also regards the academy as an unavoidable point?

But are they foes or friends?
Countless questions lingered in Odysseyka's mind, making it difficult for him to make a judgment for a while.

And if he doesn't solve these mysteries, he can't make a move anyway.

Because once he makes a move, there is no possibility of stopping, and he needs to go all the way to the dark.

This is undoubtedly a huge test.

After thinking for a long time, Odyssey decided to share the news with the Academy.

This matter is not something he can resist alone, since he can't resist it, he should spread it out earlier and let everyone share the decision-making together.

"What? The black wizards have already reached Mount Zhongnan?"

Zhao Xun was shocked after hearing the news.

It was too sudden.

Of course he knew how powerful the group of black wizards was.

These guys didn't talk about martial arts, and together with the high priest of the Demon Sect ambushed the head of the mountain in the void, causing the head of the mountain to be injured and forced to return to Zhongnan Mountain to recuperate.

But excluding the fact that they don't talk about martial arts, just considering their strength, it's not vulgar to be able to hurt the head of the mountain.

The realm of cultivation is naturally at least at the Grand Master level.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun felt terrified.

If these guys have come to Zhongnan Mountain, are they here for the Academy?

But they seem to be just wandering around the periphery of Zhongnan Mountain, and have no intention of breaking into Zhongnan Mountain.

what is happening?
For a moment Zhao Xun felt puzzled.

"Yes, I'm sure they did appear in Zhongnan Mountain. My senses are very strong. Although they have tried their best to restrain their aura, I still sensed them."

The Elf King Odysseyka said very seriously: "It can be said that they have come out in full force this time. There are a large number of them. I'm afraid we have to be careful."

Good guy, they came out in full force, this hugging really makes people lose their temper.

I'm afraid that except for the head of the mountain himself, no one can cure this group of black wizards.

Zhao Xun secretly analyzed and thought in his heart.

"They haven't shown up, probably because they are afraid that we have a strong hidden strength."

Zhao Xun paused, and then continued: "So we must show as much momentum as possible, as long as we can deter our opponents, the next step will be easy."

Momentum is actually something mysterious.

If you can show your momentum, you can show sufficient suppression when facing your opponent.

And if you lack momentum, even if your hard power is stronger than your opponent, you will be suppressed by a stronger opponent for a considerable period of time.

This is actually a game process, and both sides of the game must take into account the various possibilities of the other party.

At least in Zhao Xun's view now, the group of black wizards has not shown the so-called hard power.

They didn't dare to show their fists probably because they were afraid of hidden masters in the academy.

"Could it be that they smelled you?"

Zhao Xun suddenly thought of a possibility, and confirmed it to the Elf King Odysseyka.

"It is indeed possible."

Odysseyka nodded and said: "If we can smell their scent, theoretically they should be able to smell our scent too. However, if they know that we are stationed here and choose to avoid fighting, I'm afraid Not good news."

"why?"

Zhao Xun almost blurted out the question.

"Because if we are here, the Corruptor invasion is almost certain. The character of the Corruptor is impossible to let anyone under their rule escape. So once someone escapes, it means that the Corruptor will chase them back .Even the ends of the earth are no exception."

hiss.
This corruptor is really ruthless enough, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he won't let him go?
"So they're waiting for the Corruptor to arrive?"

"Very likely."

Odysseyka nodded and said: "So my suggestion is that we should shrink the line of defense as much as possible, and we must not fight unnecessary battles. On the one hand, we can get more time to rest and wait for work. On the other hand, we will not He exposed his flaws by playing blindly."

Compared with the former, Odysseyka felt that the latter was more important to them.

This is not just a duel between two masters, but a melee between countless tribes.

The earlier you expose your strength, the earlier you will expose your flaws.

And if you can hide your strength to the end, you have a chance to defeat the enemy with one blow.

Odysseyka is very aware of this, so he must let the academy make the representative of the academy, Zhao Xun, aware of this in time.

It is useless for him alone to understand, and everyone must work together to win in the end.

"Well, I probably understand. I will immediately notify the other tribes and maintain a defensive posture according to this strategy."

Whether it is the dragon race or the human race.Or the elves and dwarves, they are not separated from each other now, they are an alliance, a complete whole.

The group of black wizards is probably here to step on the spot this time, and if they don't find out the truth, they will definitely come again.

In this process, the academy must give everyone a unified thinking to ensure that everyone can use a fixed model to determine their thinking and use a fixed routine to fight against opponents.

"Well, maybe this is a good start."

Elf King Odysseyka nodded in satisfaction.

In his opinion, Zhao Xun's understanding ability is very strong.

With such a strong leadership, they can take advantage of the start to the greatest extent.

As for how the battle will develop next, no one can say for sure, it depends on the specific situation.

After the elf king Odysseyka left, Zhao Xun immediately informed the other three tribes.

After that, he didn't stay idle, and rushed back to the academy non-stop to summon the brothers and sisters of the academy.

The academy disciples headed by third senior brother Long Qingquan saw Zhao Xun and thought that the junior brother had made a new dish and wanted them to try it, and they were all overjoyed with excitement.

"Oh, junior brother, your speed of producing new dishes recently is a bit too fast. We really can't eat it for a while."

"Yeah, junior brother, I've been trying to lose weight recently. Mr. Yao said I'm fat, so I didn't dare to eat dinner. But you've been giving us food every few days, and we're embarrassed if we don't eat it. But once If you eat the saved meal, you will save it for nothing."

"Little brother, you should also pay more attention to rest. It doesn't matter if we skip one or two dishes, but don't make you tired."

In the face of the brothers and sisters of the academy, Zhao Xun was a little dumbfounded.

"Well, brothers and sisters, this time it's not a new dish made for you to try."

"What? Didn't you try a new dish?"

The third senior brother Long Qingquan shook his head in disappointment after hearing this, and said, "I'm so happy for nothing."

"Yes, junior brother, please speak clearly. We are so happy."

"."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that you didn't give me a chance to speak.

As soon as we met, you kept talking, just like Gatlin, and I didn't even have the possibility to interject a word.

It's really hard for me.

That's all, these are senior brothers and sisters, and they are all members of the family, so don't get angry, definitely don't get angry.

Zhao Xun tried his best to calm down, then cleared his throat and said, "Brothers and sisters, there will be opportunities after trying new dishes, but I am here today for a very important thing. Black wizards have invaded Zhongnan Mountain .”

"What? Junior brother, what did you just say, say it again."

Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, obviously couldn't believe his ears.

"I mean, the black wizards have really come, and they are watching us secretly in a corner of Zhongnan Mountain."

Zhao Xun's words startled everyone.

Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's reaction was the most intense.

He scratched his head and said: "Good guy, this is too scary. How did these guys come so fast? I'm afraid no one can come faster than them, right? I mean our enemies, such as the Corruptor or something .”

"Senior brother, in fact, they didn't come too fast, it's just that we haven't been mentally prepared."

Zhao Xun spread his hands and said, "As long as we are prepared, we won't be so flustered."

"Panic? Who panicked? Did you see me panicking?"

The third senior brother, Long Qingquan raised his neck proudly, and said disdainfully: "I'm sure I didn't panic, little brother, don't worry, I, Long Qingquan, will not panic no matter what."

Uh.
Ok
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother was really stubborn. He insisted that he didn't panic even though his demeanor changed drastically just now.

"That junior brother, how many people did they come this time?"

"."

It's okay if the third senior brother didn't say this sentence, wouldn't it be clear that he was already panicked after saying this sentence?
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said, "According to the Elf King, there should be quite a few enemies coming. There are at least five black wizards."

"Five people."

Hearing this, Long Qingquan almost lost his breath.

"Why are there so many of them?"

"Uh, I don't know if you ask me. But they have been hugging together, and they must also feel the danger."

Zhao Xun said helplessly.

"Forget it, these guys are so hateful, they obviously came prepared."

The third brother Long Qingquan paced around the room with his hands behind his back, and stopped after a long time.

"Senior brother, is there any countermeasure?"

Zhao Xun asked half jokingly.

"It's better not to act rashly. As long as we don't fight, they won't have a chance. If they catch the opportunity, it would be not beautiful."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan's thinking is basically the same as Zhao Xun's.

Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, it's really not that the whole family doesn't come into the house.

He was really relieved that the third senior brother could think so.

"Yeah, I think so too. Let's do our best, third senior brother, and try our best to delay until the mountain chief recovers."

"Yes, procrastinate. We just need to procrastinate with all our strength. After procrastinating, all problems will be solved after the old man recovers from his injury. As long as the old man can play, it doesn't matter if it is one, three or five. None of the ten black wizards are the opponents of the mountain chief. The reason why the mountain chief made a mistake last time was mainly because of his carelessness. As long as the mountain chief can concentrate fully, it is impossible for these guys to resist the mountain chief's Confucian aura."

When it comes to the head of the mountain, Long Qingquan, the third senior brother, is full of confidence.

It seems that in the mind of the third senior brother, the head of the mountain is really a god-like existence.

"Of course, we can't be too passive. We can let Bai Jiaolong and Black Dragon patrol, and if we find any single ones, we will kill them on the spot."

Uh.
That sounds like a good idea.

Pippi Shrimp White Flood Dragon and Dark Wing are both top predators.

In the face of ordinary practitioners, they can kill them together.

Even dark wizards are strong in explosive output.

In terms of defense, their defense is actually very poor.

As long as the White Flood Dragon and the Black Dragon are given a chance, they should be able to cause considerable damage.

"Okay, I'll talk to Lauren. It's been a troubled time. Fortunately, we have many more allies, which is better than fighting alone."

Having said that, if you want to break the logic, if the Dark Gate hadn't been opened, the dark wizard wouldn't come, and the other alien races in the Alan Lore continent wouldn't come either. There would be no such things at all.

But now that things have come to this point, the alliance is already the best solution that the academy can achieve.

There is no point in complaining at this time, it will only make the alliance's relationship worse.

Of course Zhao Xun understood this truth.

So he won't say anything more.

After finishing Duguyan, Zheng Jie felt that their chances of winning were at least [-]%.

The reason why they are not sure is because the West Palace Gate and South Palace Gate of Daming Palace are not yet in their hands.

There are certain variables in this case.

But palace changes have always been like this, and there is no perfect situation.

From the moment Zheng Jie chose Gong Bian, it was decided that this was a big gamble.

If the bet wins, it will save the country from overturning.

If he loses the bet, the records about Zheng Jie in the history books will be a rebellious minister and a traitor, a traitor who everyone can punish.

Zheng Jie is very clear about the winner and loser.

"Duke Zheng, I'm almost ready. When are we going to do it?"

Feng Hao is the absolute commander of bad people, his words are the golden rule.

So as long as Zheng Jie thinks he can do something, Feng Hao will give the order immediately.

At that time, the bad guys will enter from Jiacheng to join the inner guards.

At the same time, Duguyan from the North Palace Gate will lead his confidantes into the palace, approaching the Zichen Palace.

Everything seemed seamless.

At least from Feng Hao's point of view.

"Don't worry, it's not too late."

Feng Hao didn't intend to act in a hurry.

In his view, the time is not yet ripe.

"I think something big will happen in the near future. Let's wait for a while. If something big happens in the south, it can distract the court's attention. If we use this time slot to launch an attack, the possibility of success will be higher."

"Well"

I have to say that Zheng Jie thinks much more deeply than Feng Hao.

Feng Hao is convinced of this.

That's why he only followed Zheng Jie's lead.

People should know where their limits are, and they should also know what things they are destined to fail.

Since there are some things that you are destined to fail to do, it is better to let others do them.

In this way, as long as I take on an auxiliary role, I don't have to shoulder all the responsibilities, and the pressure I face will be much less.

Feng Hao tried his best to calm down, waiting for Zheng Jie's next order.

"I feel that people from other worlds are constantly pouring into our world through the portal of darkness."

Zheng Jie spoke slowly but seriously.

In his opinion, the continent of Alan Lore is completely connected with Da Zhou.

"If you look at it this way, those threats come from the continent of Allen Lore?"

"good."

While stroking his bare chin, Zheng Jie said with emotion: "So I think something big will happen in the near future. And the place of this change is likely to be in Zhongnan Mountain."

"Mount Zhongnan? Zheng Gong means academy?"

"That's right, the Academy will be the focus of this war, not Chang'an City."

Zheng Jie said with some concern: "But I don't know if the battle will affect Chang'an City, let's wait and see for now."

"But Zheng Gong, I'm worried that things will change later. If this kind of thing is known, we won't even have the chance to do it."

Feng Hao's worry is not without reason.

Whether it is a palace change or a coup, it is a one-shot deal.

If you can't act decisively and procrastinate again and again, who knows what will happen.

Once things are out of control, people may do many unexpected things in a state of panic.

"It won't take long, don't worry."

Zheng Jie gave Feng Hao a reassuring pill and said, "We can do it in half a month at the latest, and in three to five days at the earliest."

Zheng Jie will wait another half a month at most.

If there is no movement from Zhongnanshan within half a month, it is impossible for him to wait any longer.

Changes come later, they are already on the verge of launching, and the palace change must be launched as soon as possible, so that all parties can feel at ease.

"That's good. I'm afraid that if time drags on for a long time, someone will have an idea. Although that Duguyan has promised Zheng Gong, he may turn against him at any time."

"Probably not. He either refuses to agree to our family. Since he has already agreed to our family, there is no possibility of betrayal. His life was saved by our family, and our family believes in him."

Zheng Jie tapped his fingers repeatedly, and said leisurely: "But there is still one thing that Mr. Feng needs to do."

"Please speak, Mr. Zheng."

"Recently King Qi has been placing eyeliners near the East Palace and near your and my mansions. It should be to dig out something. This is normal. If we join hands with the East Palace, King Qi will feel great pressure. He should also belong to the It’s self-protection. But our family thinks it’s better to give him some information. Let him mistakenly think that he has got useful information, which may lead him astray.”

In Zheng Jie's view, King Qi would not think that they would launch a palace change anyway.

Because the prince is the crown prince, and the crown prince is the man with the highest status in the empire other than the emperor.

In this way, as long as the prince does not make mistakes, he can succeed in becoming emperor.

So why do you want to launch a palace change?
So Zheng Jie had to deliberately spread a message to make King Qi think that he had caught the handle, but in fact it was leading him in the wrong direction.

When Zheng Jie and others really took action, King Qi realized that Zheng Jie and Feng Hao teamed up with the prince not to increase political influence, but simply wanted to launch a coup to help the prince rise to power.

At that time, King Qi must be too late to regret.

"Okay, I understand what Zheng Gong means. Bad people are the most handy in doing this kind of thing. Zheng Gong can rest assured. His Royal Highness Qi Wang must be made to go astray."

Qi Wangfu.

Qi Wang Li Xiang is playing a game of chess with his son Li Jianye.

The scene of father and son playing chess may be very common in the homes of ordinary people, but it is very rare in the royal family.

The Tian family has no family ties, father and son often fight to the death for power, how could they sit down and play chess calmly.

But there is something special between Li Xiang and Li Jianye.

Because the king of Qi didn't have a high position at first, he was just a vassal king, and he had a relatively high tolerance for heirs.

Second, the king of Qi knew that now was a critical period for the crown prince.

Youdao is a brother who fights tigers, father and son soldiers in battle.

At this time, if he can get a sincere help, his son is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Father, this move of yours is really wonderful. It not only blocks the connection of your son, but also creates a style of its own."

Seeing Qi Wang Li Xiang make a wonderful move, Qi Wang Shizi Li Jianye immediately flattered him.

The children raised by the emperor's family may not be very good at martial arts and martial arts, but they will definitely be able to speak.

Because they have to face all kinds of people every day.

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

The words spoken to different people are naturally different.

"The king of this chess game told him to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. What he did was to block the retreat, and the effect was unexpected."

Qi Wang Li Xiang said leisurely while stroking his beard: "The East Palace thought that making friends with Zheng Jie and Feng Hao was a good move, but this king will let him understand that this is a bad move. His situation was not bad at first, but As soon as this move is taken, the situation is completely chaotic in an instant, and it is even difficult to recover."

Li Xiang picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said in a deep voice, "Son, I did so much for my father for you."

King Qi's words moved Li Jianye for a moment.

That's right, the father is already a prince, so it stands to reason that his status is already noble and there is no need to fight any more.

But fighting for the crown prince means taking huge risks.

It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will be the end of being expelled.

It can be said that the father and king competed for the position of the crown prince not only for himself, but also for the lineage of King Qi.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with saying it is for Li Jianye.

"Father, my son, but listen to my father's orders. If my father needs my son to do it, my son will do my best to do it well."

In order to show his solemnity, Li Jianye got up and said.

Li Xiang waved his hand to signal him to sit down: "Don't be so excited, this king just mentioned that, take a look, at least he is the son of Prince Qi, don't be so impatient."

"That's what my father taught me."

Li Jianye's face flushed instantly.

"The Eastern Palace is making arrangements, and this king naturally can't be idle. He thought he could cover the sky with one hand and call the wind and rain, and this king will make him understand how high he climbs, and how miserable it will be when he falls."

Li Xiang snorted coldly and said, "Do you still remember when Taiping was robbed?"

Li Jianye was taken aback.

"Remember, my son remembers that after my sister was kidnapped, there were rumors that she lived in Zhongnan Mountain."

"What is Zhongnan Mountain, it is clearly the crown prince's order to move it."

"Prince?"

Now Li Jianye was completely confused.

Well, why did this matter have something to do with Donggong again?

"Father, did Donggong really do it?"

"Think about it. At that time, the imperial father ordered Taiping to become a nun. If Taiping suddenly disappeared at this time, the imperial father would definitely blame me. Who will benefit the most from this matter?"

Li Xiang, the king of Qi, was persuasive and tempting, and immediately led the responsibility to the prince.

"In this way, the prince is indeed very suspicious."

Li Jianye murmured: "But father, do we have evidence? If there is no evidence, I am afraid not only will not be able to bring down the prince, but it will also cause a commotion."

The Eastern Palace has a special status and is the foundation of the country.

Unless there is conclusive evidence to prove that the East Palace is unethical, not only will it not have the expected effect, but it will also make the situation develop in a direction that is not conducive to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Your Majesty should be very taboo about strife and strife between the princes, and he will be more inclined to the prince in the attitude of safeguarding the country's foundation, right?
At this time, Li Jianye felt that the situation in Prince Qi's Mansion was really too difficult.

"This king is quite sure if he wants to do something."

Qi Wang Li Xiang sneered and said: "At first the crown prince didn't make friends with Zheng Jie and Feng Hao, and this king was just suspicious. However, from the recent signs, it is enough to show the crown prince's real intentions. Next, you can look forward to it and watch How did this king make the prince fall into a big fall."

Qi Wang Li Xiang knew very well that even so, he would not be able to completely bring down the prince with this point.

But as long as he can deflate the prince, he will be very excited.

As long as the crown prince suffers setbacks, the Qi Palace will benefit from it.

The battle between him and the prince cannot be completed overnight, it is a very long tug of war.

Therefore, during the whole process, Qi Wang Li Xiang will try his best to control his emotions, so as to prevent all losses due to losing control of emotions.

This time it was just hors d'oeuvres.

Although the group of black wizards has already reached Zhongnan Mountain, it has threatened the lives of everyone in the Academy to some extent.

But life has to go on, doesn't it?

Zhao Xun was not greatly affected by this incident, at most he took the initiative to report this fact to the head of the mountain.

"Shan Zhang, do you think the black wizards came to Zhongnan Mountain this time is really just a test?"

Zhao Xun is still skeptical about this.

"What does it matter if they try or not? Does it matter?"

The head of the mountain didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and it didn't look like the violent reaction of the third senior brother and others.

"Well"

"As long as the teacher is healthy, it doesn't make sense for them to come to ten or one hundred."

The head of the mountain is very confident, and his confidence comes from his strength.

The best strength in the world.

"The reason why my injury has healed, but I refused to jump out because I wanted to see what ghosts and snakes would jump out when I was injured and retreated. Now that I am healed, I can see clearly."

The head of the mountain spread his hands and said: "The black wizards think that they really have the strength to defeat the teacher. But in fact, the reason why they succeeded last time was because they attacked the teacher. This will give them an illusion, a kind of The illusion that their strength is superior to that of the teacher. This illusion is very fatal. But they don't know it. Good disciples, you just look at it, and look at how the teacher teaches them."

Sometimes Zhao Xun really thinks that the head of the mountain is really kind to him.

The mountain leader kept the truth from all his disciples, but he only told Zhao Xun the truth, probably because he trusted Zhao Xun.

How should he repay the trust of the head of the mountain?
Open a small stove every day to cook for the head of the mountain?It seems that this is not enough.

But Zhao Xun didn't know what else he could do.

After all, with his fourth-rank less than third-rank strength, what he can do for the head of the mountain is really limited.

If the head of the mountain really started a decisive battle with the black wizard, maybe Zhao Xun could help the head of the mountain to distract an opponent?
Maybe, who knows.

"Let's not talk about that, Shanzhang, what do you want to eat? My apprentice will do it for you."

"Oh little 72, let's have a bowl of braised noodles."

"Okay, what do you want, Master Shan?"

"Tomato eggs, sour."

The conversation with the head of the mountain is always so simple.

Simple and crisp, simple and direct.

There are not so many twists and turns, straight to the point, saving time for both parties.

Tomato stewed noodles should be the most home-cooked and simplest kind of noodles.

But the simpler the dish is, the harder it is to make it stand out.

Just like a bowl of fried rice with eggs, the chef can also fry it, and the grandmother next door can also fry it.

But the taste, texture and presentation of the two sides are definitely different.

It doesn't mean that the chef's frying is necessarily better than that of the neighbor's grandma, but at least from a certain point of view, the chef puts more thought into the scrambled eggs and fried rice than the neighbor's grandma.

Zhao Xun's cooking now is to ensure that he puts more thought into it.

Paying more attention may not necessarily be effective, but it will definitely hit others in a certain aspect.

As long as you hit it even once, it will be remembered.

Every time Zhao Xun prepares the noodle stew carefully, and then boils it under the water.

After the noodles are cooked, Zhao Xun will taste them first, and then add the noodle stew and stir after confirming that there is no problem with the taste.

The last thing is decoration.

Decoration is essential.

Because the decoration can make the dishes that look a bit monotonous look richer.

This will increase the appetite of diners.

Shan Chang is a top-notch gourmet, and he must have extremely high requirements for the color, aroma and taste of food.

Even a mistake in a detail will make the head of the mountain pick out the fault.

Zhao Xun didn't know which aspects the head of the mountain would be dissatisfied with, so he had to do his best in every aspect.

In this way, even if the head of the mountain wanted to find faults, he would not be able to find faults.

Even if the head of the mountain insisted on picking one out, it would definitely not be a serious problem.

Treating ingredients and cooking requires a craftsman spirit.

This may make the ingredients rich in soul.

It sounds like chicken soup, but Zhao Xun has always thought so.

After arranging the stewed tomato noodles on a plate, Zhao Xun paired Shan Chang with a cup of sour plum soup made by himself.

Braised noodles with sour plum soup, this is a perfect match.

Just Zhao Xun himself was already drooling greedily.

"Well, the taste of this noodle is really good, very chewy. Xiao 72, you have a heart."

The head of the mountain only took a bite of the steaming tomato stewed noodles, and then praised with satisfaction.

For such a top-level gourmet, being able to take the initiative to praise a good dish is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the cook.

Zhao Xun was deeply moved, he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

The head of the mountain is still knowledgeable.

"Shan Zhang, you can try this sour plum soup again. This sour plum soup is made by the apprentice himself, and it is the best way to quench your thirst."

Sour plum soup is a refreshing weapon.

Although it is already late summer, it is still a bit hot.

There is nothing wrong with drinking more sour plum soup.

"Well, Xiao 72 can also make sour plum soup. Come and try it for the teacher."

After saying that, the head of the mountain raised his cup and took a sip.

"Well, this tastes really good."

The head of the mountain nodded in satisfaction and said: "Little 72, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Not only can you cook hard dishes, but you can also cook staple foods, desserts, and drinks so well. What, you Do you want to give up your practice and open a restaurant?"

Facing Shanzhang's joke, Zhao Xun smiled wryly and said: "Shanzhang was joking, I think cooking is an indispensable part of life, but I never thought about opening any restaurant. Besides, just Tu'er's carefree temper must be a compensation for opening a restaurant. It is said that there is no business without adultery, and a straightforward person like Tu'er can't be a businessman. To be a businessman, you need someone like Wangcai to be handy."

"Well, that little fat man, he is indeed a piece of business."

Knowing that Wangcai lives in Zhongnan Mountain now, the head of the mountain carefully reminded: "Wangcai offended the court because of you. I think the emperor will not let him go. You can't let him leave Zhongnan Mountain and leave the academy. If he Whatever happens, you will never get through this life in your heart."

"Shan Zhang, don't worry, Wangcai is my good brother, and I will be responsible for him."

Zhao Xun patted his chest and assured: "If Emperor Xianlong wants to hurt Wangcai, he must first ask me if I agree. If he has the ability, he will come to the academy to fetch him in person. I'm afraid he won't have the guts."

"Well, with the teacher here, he dare not come to the door."

The head of the mountain said domineeringly: "Little 72, you can build it with strength, and the sky will fall and I will carry it for you."

The Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.

Emperor Xianlong was eating supper alone.

Although it was late, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

After sitting in meditation with Master Huiyan for a long time, his spirit is much better than before.

His mind is now full of breaking through the eighth rank and becoming a great master.

After all, for a king, the concept of cultivation level is different from that of ordinary people.

According to Master Huiyan, if a king can reach the ninth rank, it is equivalent to reaching the first rank of ordinary people.

And if the king can reach the eighth rank, it is equivalent to the realm of the great master of ordinary people.

So Emperor Xianlong felt that he had hope to reach this realm.

This is not an unattainable goal, there are all kinds of panacea in the palace, and Master Huiyan, a top master, is on the sidelines to give pointers.

Emperor Xianlong felt that it was only a matter of time before he reached the realm of a great master.

"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan asks to see you."

"Please come in."

Although Emperor Xianlong was very harsh towards other people, his attitude towards Master Huiyan has always been very good.

Probably because Master Huiyan can always give him the help he needs.

Emperor Xianlong now seeks from Master Huiyan, so his attitude will naturally be better.

Soon Master Huiyan entered the warm pavilion in the main hall of Zichen Hall under the leadership of a young eunuch.

After seeing Emperor Xianlong, Master Huiyan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Your Majesty hasn't rested yet."

"Didn't the holy monk not rest? Come, give the holy monk a seat."

The little eunuch immediately moved a Jindun and placed it behind Master Huiyan.

Master Huiyan was also polite, and sat down on his buttocks.

"The holy monk begged to see me late at night, but what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the black wizards have arrived in Chang'an, and the high priest of the Demon Sect arrived with them."

Bang, Emperor Xianlong felt his head explode for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

"So fast"

"Your Majesty, it's actually not too fast. If they didn't encounter some accidents on the way, they might have arrived in Chang'an half a month earlier."

"Why didn't they come to Chang'an City?"

"Probably because of the restrictions in Chang'an City. They are different types. If they get close to Chang'an City, the restrictions in Chang'an City will be triggered. They cannot avoid it."

Master Huiyan explained very calmly: "So, Your Majesty, what we have to consider now is how to solve this trouble. Although they are going in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain now, they will suddenly turn back and kill them at some point." .”

What Master Huiyan was worried about was exactly what Emperor Xianlong was afraid of.

At the beginning, the high priest of the Mozong led the northern barbarians to the south, which made Emperor Xianlong panic, fearing that Chang'an City would not be able to keep his life.

If the head of the mountain hadn't stood up to suppress the evil spirits with his own strength, his head might really have to move.

But this time the head of the mountain will definitely not help him.His break with Zhao Xun led to the break between Shan Chang and the court.

It's not bad for the head of the mountain not to help the demon sect and the black wizard, but to help the royal family?No way.

Therefore, Emperor Xianlong's only reliance now is Master Huiyan.

"Holy Monk, what should I do now?"

Emperor Xianlong felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although he is an emperor and has powers far beyond ordinary people, but in the case of unachieved magical powers, the value of a single combat power is too low.

In this case, it is impossible for him to resist the onslaught of the black wizard.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the poor monk has his own tricks."

Master Huiyan smiled slightly and said, "The focus of the black wizards must be on Zhongnan Mountain and the Academy. Only when they can't win the situation will they turn their attention to Chang'an City. Even so, all they have to do is ask for help. Us. As long as we don't confront them, they won't take the initiative to attack us."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Hearing this, Emperor Xianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now Master Huiyan said the situation was so serious that he was so nervous that he died.

After a long time, it turned out to be just a false alarm.

"But what kind of sincerity do we have to show to make them believe our words?"

Master Huiyan stared straight at Emperor Xianlong, which made Emperor Xianlong feel very weak.

"What is the opinion of the holy monk?"

"In the view of the poor monk, the best way is to provide enough food."

Master Huiyan paused and said: "Cultivators don't care about gold and silver, but they are flesh and blood after all. They sneak in Zhongnan Mountain and cannot show their faces, so they can only live by hunting. Eating meat is also very rough. If His Majesty can provide them with delicious delicacies at this time, they will definitely be grateful to His Majesty."

Emperor Xianlong felt that Master Huiyan had hit the point.

What you eat seems insignificant on the surface, but it can indeed play a decisive role at critical times.

Now the dark wizards should be at the stage where food is most scarce.The food supply at this time is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

"Just who should approach them?"

This problem made Emperor Xianlong difficult.

These guys are a group of top-level grand masters, and most people would be scared to pee when they go, let alone those who are close and far away.

But if he sent top bosses, Emperor Xianlong could think of Feng Hao and Zheng Jie.

But these two people are rebellious now, Emperor Xianlong will not let them go no matter what.

So the only candidate left is Master Huiyan.

Emperor Xianlong raised his head and looked at Master Huiyan: "Can the holy monk make a trip in person?"

Although he knew that it was somewhat impolite to say this, but right now he really couldn't think of a better solution.

"It's okay, the poor monk can take a trip. But your majesty must be careful in the palace. Don't let Xiao Xiao take advantage of it."

Master Huiyan's words made Emperor Xianlong's heart skip a beat.

Yeah, how could he forget about it.

"The holy monk should not go. I'll think of a way to deal with Zhongnan Mountain."

Emperor Xianlong let out a long sigh.

Compared with making friends with dark wizards, Emperor Xianlong obviously valued his life more.

In case Zheng Jie and Feng Hao really made trouble at this time, without Master Huiyan to escort him, he would really feel guilty.

"What else can His Majesty do?"

"I can ask Yuan Tiangang to go, or ask his apprentice to go."

Emperor Xianlong hesitated again and again and said: "Now is a time of crisis, I hope the holy monk can understand."
