Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 402 Pantai Pass

Zhongzhou, on the official road.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly moved forward along the pipeline, leaving ruts on the dry road surface.

The driver was a man in his forties, with wrinkles all over his dark face, and looked to be at least in his fifties.

The space inside the car is quite large.

There were various dried fruits and other things on a table, of course, they were all ordinary things.

Fang Xuan and Pu Anyu sat in meditation with their eyes closed, while Pei Qian flipped through a book, occasionally picking a grape and putting it in his mouth, and occasionally lifting the curtain of the car window to look at the scenery outside, just like a nobleman who was traveling and enjoying the scenery.

Although it was still a long way to the capital, we had already encountered many refugees along the way.

Pei Qian placed the book on his lap and sighed, "Brother Fang, what on earth is going on in this world? Why are there so many refugees in Zhongzhou?"

Fang Xuan closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breathing. He opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

After Zhou Yi sent them into Zhongzhou, they rented a carriage, but Chu Kuang left halfway because of something.

During this period, Fang Xuan's red royal pupils never stopped shining, and he discovered that as he got closer to Shangjing City, there were more and more refugees on the road.

Logically speaking, as the most prosperous place in Kyushu, the number of refugees here should be the least.

Is it because Shangjing City is sealed?

Fang Xuan couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Pei Qian poured himself a glass of wine without knowing when, took a sip, and asked Fang Xuan: "Brother Fang, where is Brother Xiang? My aunt said that the entire Shangjing City has been sealed by a powerful force, so is the Wu Temple also..."

Fang Xuan nodded gently, "Xiang Jie is fine. He and I rushed out of Shangjing City together. A lot of things happened during that time. In the end, he and Princess Linyang returned to Shangjing City."

Fang Xuan spoke lightly, and Pei Qian listened silently.

Finally, he sighed softly and raised his glass: "I have a bottle of wine, I want to drink with my old friend. The old friend is no longer here, I am alone to talk about my life."

After that, he drank the wine in one gulp, looked at Fang Xuan and said, "Brother Fang, I'm not going back this time until I break through to the level of Earth Formation Master. I'll go wherever you go next!"

Fang Xuan didn't mind Pei Qian following him. He nodded slightly and became quite interested in the formation master: "Is the Earth Formation Master a very strong one among your formation masters?"

Pei Qian shook his head vigorously, "How is that possible? The most powerful one is the Tianzi Formation Master."

"The Taixuan Sect's formation masters are divided into different levels based on the Tianzi Xuanhuang system. Among them, the Tianzi formation master is the best. With just a wave of their hands and feet, they can use the heaven and earth as the formation base and the sun, moon and stars as the formation core. They are extremely terrifying existences."

"It's a pity that no one can reach that level now. I heard from my father that if you want to become a Tianzi formation master, you need to have an affinity with heaven and earth. It's very mysterious. Anyway, I don't understand it."

After listening to Pei Qian's explanation, Fang Xuan had a better understanding of formation masters. He then asked Pei Qian with a smile, "What kind of formation master are you now?"

Pei Qian answered the question without hesitation: "I am a Huangzi formation master. Don't look down on me as just a Huangzi formation master of the lowest level. But I have an octagonal pagoda, and the formation I can set up is no worse than that of a Xuanzi formation master."

Fang Xuan nodded when he heard this. He did not think Pei Qian was bragging. The scene where he fought against two Buddhist Vajras in front of the Wulin Alliance mountain gate was enough to prove Pei Qian's strength.

He felt a little emotional in his heart. The young man who was just starting out in the Zheng family's secret realm has now grown to this level.

"By the way, I brought a lot of formation stones with me this time. I will slowly carve down all the formations, and then Brother Fang and Sister Anyu will be able to use them."

As he spoke, the young man proudly took out a brocade bag and shook it, which made a jingling sound.

Fang Xuan opened his mouth, laughing and crying, "Let's talk about it later!"

As the two were talking, the driver's voice came from outside: "Sir, we're here."

Fang Xuan stuck his head out from the car and saw a tall city gate standing in the distance. On the plaque of the city gate were engraved three large characters: Jinjiang City.

Pei Qian also poked his head out and asked in confusion: "Brother Coachman, we are going to Shangjing City. Did you take the wrong road?"

The driver was also a simple and honest man. He smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, you don't know that Shangjing City is now shrouded in a strange fog. I heard that there are man-eating monsters in it. Everyone inside has escaped. You can't go in!"

Weird fog?

Pei Qian looked at Fang Xuan in confusion.

Fang Xuan also shook his head in confusion. He remembered that when he came out of Shangjing City, there was no strange fog except for that huge strange eyeball.

Moreover, the entire Shangjing City was submerged in golden liquid. As for the rumor that Shangjing City was sealed, it was also heard from other people.

Could it be that something happened during this period that I am not aware of?
After thinking about it, Fang Xuan was not in a hurry to return to the capital, so he asked the driver, "Do you know where the Dragon Whale Army is?"

The driver shook his head.

In Jinjiang City, Fang Xuan and the other two were walking slowly on the crowded streets.

Compared to the refugees outside the city, there is peace inside the city.

They stopped in front of a tall building that was half-built somewhere in the city.

At this time, there were quite a few people gathered around, all talking about something.

"I heard this is a new city defense formation!"

"Is this the city defense formation? Why did it stop halfway through?"

"Who knows."

Fang Xuan looked ahead and saw a building that looked like an observatory. It was surrounded by guards and no one was allowed to enter.

Pei Qian looked at the faintly glowing patterns on the building and shook his head gently: "This small formation can't even block a blow from a fifth-level warrior. What a mediocrity!" Pu Anyu pulled Fang Xuan's clothes, pointed to a tavern on the street, and said, "Let's go there!"

The three of them came to a tavern, which was quite crowded, and ordered a pot of wine at random.

"Is there anything different here?" Pei Qian asked curiously.

Pu Anyu looked at Pei Qian and said seriously, "The first lesson in the martial arts world is that if you want to get information, the first thing to do is to go to a brothel. That's where the most people gather. As long as you're willing to spend money, you can get any information you want."

"The second is the teahouses and taverns with the most people. The advantage is that you only need a pot of wine to hear all kinds of interesting things. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood!"

Seeing Pei Qian nod thoughtfully, Pu Anyu blinked her autumn eyes and said, "When I first ventured into Haizhou, I was known as a know-it-all. It's not a big deal to get some intelligence."

As she spoke, her eyes met Fang Xuan's.

They both immediately remembered the misunderstanding in the ancient city and smiled subconsciously.

"Okay, you guys sit down and wait for me for an incense stick of time."

Pu Anyu left.

"Do you think the war will spread to our Jinjiang City?"

"Don't be ridiculous, bro. The five families are fighting fiercely right now. Who would have the energy to target Jinjiang City?"

"But I heard that the Red Eyebrow Army in Yanzhou has sent more than 30,000 more soldiers. Of the five families, the Red Eyebrow Army is the most feared. A distant relative of mine was in Yanzhou and saw with his own eyes the scene of the Red Eyebrow Army entering the city. They did not treat the people as human beings!"

"I don't know when the city defense formation will be completed. There are more and more refugees outside. It seems that Dayang's world is really going to collapse!"

There are many kinds of people in taverns, and if you pay attention, you can indeed notice a lot of information.

Not long after, Pu Anyu came back, but his face looked a little serious.

She sat down and looked at Fang Xuan, lowering her voice, "The Red Eyebrow Army is going to annihilate the Dragon Whale Army at Pantai Pass in three days, led by a Blood Martial Saint!"

She found out a lot of information, but she also knew what information was most important to Fang Xuan at the moment.

He didn't say anything extra, just looked at Fang Xuan calmly.

Hearing this, although Fang Xuan tried hard to control his emotions, his expression still changed subtly.

"Do you know who is leading the Dragon Whale Army this time?"

"One line of sky!"

Fang Xuan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up: "Let's go to Pantai Pass."

A pass that stretches from north to south stands between continuous mountains and rivers.

On the steep city wall, a man in black armor looked calmly into the distance, with a clearly visible scar on his face, looking quite majestic.

The man was none other than Yixiantian, and now he was a warrior at the third level of heaven.

Before Fang Xuan left Haizhou, he left all the resources he had accumulated in Haizhou. The brothers who followed him from Pingjiang County also made rapid progress in strength with the support of a large amount of cultivation resources.

"It's been two months. If it goes on like this, it will be even more difficult."

There was a sound of heavy footsteps behind me.

Yixiantian turned around and saw the person coming. He smiled bitterly and said, "Master Deng."

"Take a walk?"

"my pleasure!"

The two of them strolled along the city wall.

"Does Marshal Fang have any new instructions?"

After walking for a while, Deng Chuan asked.

Yixiantian shook his head, suddenly stopped, and sighed: "A natural disaster broke out in Jizhou, and countless refugees poured into Haizhou. Now General Fang and his men are also busy and exhausted."

"Here in Zhongzhou, we can only rely on ourselves now!"

Although they had thought of the worst case scenario, they both felt even more depressed at this moment.

Five parties participated in the battle for Zhongzhou's 300,000 Imperial Court troops, but now a fierce battle has broken out between the Dragon Whale Army and the Red Eyebrow Army.

Haizhou and Zhongzhou are separated by thousands of miles of ocean, and are already at a disadvantage in terms of space.

"What about Wanzhou? If Gu Chengxuan could help, maybe there would be a turnaround."

Deng Chuan thought for a moment and asked.

Yanzhou and Wanzhou have long been at loggerheads with each other. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. After a tough battle with the Red Eyebrow Army, Yixiantian began to seek opportunities to break the deadlock from Gu Chengxuan.

But now, more than two months have passed, and there has been no movement in Wanzhou.

"If there is another possibility right now, it's Commander Fang!"

Speaking of Fang Xuan, both of them stopped.

In countless crises, only this name can bring people enough peace of mind.
