The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chen Jing slowly turned his gaze to the tall tower not far away, keeping in mind the main task of entering the Hanging City this time.

The dimensional core...should be there, right?

Turing Tower.

That is the tallest building in the Hanging City, and it is also the headquarters of the [Turing Research Society].

If the dimensional core needs to be stored in a safe place, it seems that it can only be placed there, unless that thing can be digitized and allowed to be brought back to the digital space by Turing.

"Zhenjun, we are coming."

……

"I think you are all idiots!"

In the [Yusen Industrial Park] on the outskirts of the city, a man in a suit and ties was angrily reprimanding the managers next to him.

"How dare you touch people from Weiyang Palace?! Did I say you should keep a low profile when doing business! You must not offend anyone casually! Let alone offend people from the research association!"

"Boss, it was indeed a misunderstanding that day. We also found connections to go to Weiyang Palace to apologize afterwards, but the True Lord..."

Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, the man in a suit suddenly sneered.

"I have already said hello to the immortals of the White Tiger Palace. They will help us again. If you don't have the eyes to provoke others next time, no one will be able to save you!"

"Manager Xu, this is really a misunderstanding, and if the company hadn't been too pushy, we certainly wouldn't have dared to put our hands on Weiyang Palace's territory."

"I don't want to hear an explanation right now."

Manager Xu shook his head, with a hint of fear in his angry expression.

"The people from Weiyang Palace will be here soon. No matter what, we must give them an explanation this time, otherwise..."

at this time.

Manager Xu found that the expressions of the people around him suddenly became uncomfortable, as if they had seen something that frightened them. Some even sat down on the ground, their teeth making rhythmic noises as they collided.

"Did you all see a fucking ghost!?"

Manager Xu couldn't help but curse, and then looked back subconsciously.

I saw twelve thin figures in the sky carrying a sedan, which was slowly descending, silently like a holographic projection, giving people an extremely unreal feeling.

"Wei...Palace Master Weiyang?!"

Chapter 735 Palm Thunder (Part 1)

The holographic image covering the entire suspended city changes in real time. At this moment, these image data have simulated the evening scene.

When the sun sets, the neon lights from all over the city light up, either from the huge steel forest system or from the ubiquitous commercial billboards.

The huge floating airship drags a kilometer-diameter holographic advertising banner across the sky. On the screen that emits soft light, one by one, strangely dressed android models are trying to sway their seductive figures. , explaining to the residents of the city what the true beauty of fashion is.

And the "Koi" from another company jumped out of the sea of ​​data at this moment. The almost real holographic image even simulated the details of the disappearing water droplets in the sky... Countless water droplets falling in residential areas were touching each other. It exploded the moment it hit the ground, and independent advertising screens popped up automatically, and they had to be watched for fifteen seconds before they could be closed.

And in this neon light that fills the sky.

A large sedan chair descended from the sky, carried by twelve people.

They passed through the holographic images stacked in the air, like electronic ghosts in the sea of ​​data, and slowly fell to the ground silently.

No sound, no breath.

The deathly silence and coldness that hit your face exuded the smell of burning metal.

Manager Xu is a person who often interacts with the research society, so he can recognize the origin of this group of people at a glance.

They come from Weiyang Palace.

The twelve people carrying the sedan chair are the Six Ding Liujia Dharma Protector Gods refined by the "Excellent Alchemy", and the little alchemist sitting on the carriage is the personal disciple of that big shot.

Although he is only in the form of a child, he is already an adult in his twenties this year... Manager Xu has met Ah Qi more than once!

Of course, these are not the reasons that scare Manager Xu. He has been working hard in Hanging City for so many years and has dealt with many high-level alchemists with the support of large companies, so these cannot scare him... except for that One person.

"Blessing Turing Heavenly Lord!!!"

Manager Xu tried hard to control his emotions and didn't want to appear so embarrassed in front of outsiders, but the moment he spoke, he still couldn't control the involuntary trembling in his voice.

"Zhenjun Huaijing! I didn't expect you to come in person..."

In the end, Manager Xu couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and he bowed with great humility. The sweat beads constantly seeping out from under the artificial skin were a reflection of the bionic technology reaching a certain level.

"This matter has alarmed you and caused your Qingxiu to be disturbed by such a trivial matter. We really deserve death..."

"Then you should die to apologize!" Ah Qi, a young boy, jumped down from the lifting pole, strode up to Manager Xu, and said through gritted teeth, "That day, you dared to rely on the alchemists from the White Tiger Palace behind you. You are so disrespectful to us Weiyang Palace people, I think you are really..."

"How much longer?"

Hearing Zhenjun Huaijing's faint words, everyone was stunned, while the boy Ah Qi turned back to look at his master.

"Zhenjun, how long are you asking about?"

"people."

Chen Jing's behavior was exactly the same as that of Zhenjun Huai Jing himself, and his tone of voice revealed a chilling coldness.

"People from the White Tiger Palace will also come today, right?"

As soon as he heard this, the boy Ah Qi became even more angry, but he did not dare to do anything drastic in front of his master. He just raised his leg and kicked Manager Xu in front of him.

"How dare you call people from the White Tiger Palace over here?! Do you know that this is under the jurisdiction of our Weiyang Palace?!"

According to the [Turing Research Society]'s rules for dividing cities, the industrial park where Chen Jing and his team are located is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Weiyang Palace. Within this jurisdiction, any major event, whether commercial or related to people's livelihood, needs to be approved by the Weiyang Palace.

In other words, since Weiyang Palace is the management organization of this area, even the consortium must operate according to the rules under the jurisdiction of Weiyang Palace.

That's why the boy Ah Qi looked so angry when he learned that people from the White Tiger Palace were coming.

This is not only a violation of the rules, but also a contempt for Weiyang Palace.

How dare you work across districts in Hanging City? !

Do you really think Weiyang Palace has no temper? !

"It's Youshi now...it's too late...you can't let me wait until Xushi, right?"

"They're coming soon!!" Manager Xu hurriedly got up from the ground. He didn't feel any shame in being kicked over by this Taoist boy. As long as he could save his life, it was better than anything else, "Zhenjun Huaijing!! This is What happened last time was indeed a misunderstanding!! We didn’t want to rely on the relationship with the White Tiger Palace..."

"You say you don't want to rely on their relationship, but when something goes wrong, you come to them to settle matters?"

Hearing the tone of True Lord Huaijing's words becoming increasingly cold, everyone almost subconsciously knelt on the ground and wanted to beg for mercy, even Manager Xu... After all, at the level of True Lord Huaijing, no one could stop him from doing anything he wanted to do. Come on, even if you kill a few people on a whim for fun, there will be no punishment if you report it to the research association.

"Over the years, our Weiyang Palace has been like leaves falling in the wind, and the talents under my disciples have withered one after another. And I have a lazy temperament. I don't like to get involved in too many worldly affairs. I only like to be a monk... …”

When Chen Jing stood up slowly, the boy Ah Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, helping him down from the sedan step by step.

"Among the nine and eighteen palaces of the research association, our Weiyang Palace has always had the smallest number of people. We are the only ones who don't like to show up in public and do not participate in the operation of any company, so no one takes our Weiyang Palace seriously. I can do that too. understand……"

"Zhenjun! You are thinking too much! No one in Hanging City dares to look down on Weiyang Palace!" Manager Xu could hear the murderous intention in the other party's soft whisper, so he immediately chose to kneel down and beg for mercy, his humble voice trembling. , obviously frightened to the extreme, "This matter is definitely a misunderstanding! I have a lot of evidence to prove it! Our company will also compensate Weiyang Palace in accordance with the laws of Hanging City! We will definitely satisfy you, Zhenjun!"

"compensation?"

True Lord Huai Jing chuckled, with undisguised sarcasm in every word.

"Let's wait until the people from the White Tiger Palace arrive."

"Zhenjun, do you need me to write a report to the research association? Should I report it to the research association in advance?" Ah Qi asked in a low voice.

"Need not."

As he spoke, Zhenjun Huaijing slowly turned his head and looked in the direction they came from.

"Those guys are already here..."

At this moment, the silver-white mask on his face reflected the neon light in the sky, as if these strange and colorful haloes were engraved on his face, giving his inhuman face a hint of the "pyrotechnics" unique to Hanging City. ".

"Ah Qi."

"Here! Zhenjun, please give me your orders!"

"Take Liu Ding Liujia and stay away for a while. They are 'magic weapons' that my master has worked hard to refine. It would be a pity to accidentally break them..."

Chapter 736 Palm Thunder (Part 2)

The Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces of the [Turing Research Society] are very hierarchical, and there are hierarchies within the alchemists, but this has nothing to do with seniority or seniority... Like the old descendants in other places, what is valued here is also strength.

The strength of an individual is the basis for his transcendent status.

None of the alchemists who can take charge of the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces are mediocre.

For example, people like Zhenjun Huaijing, who was killed out of tens of thousands of alchemists, not only passed Turing's test, but also skipped the process of tempering his body and mind in the Eighteen Halls. He directly became the current Lord of Weiyang Palace.

Yes.

Compared to the superior Ninth Palace, the Eighteenth Palace is more like an organization that runs errands and does chores. The real power in their hands... no, they have no real power in their hands. The only person in charge of the Ninth Palace can be called Turing's agent.

For example, Li Mobai's master is the master of Taishang Palace, one of the nine palaces.

Although that place has the same jurisdiction as Weiyang Palace where Chen Jing is, and has the right to freely recruit disciples, their overall strength is stronger than that of Weiyang Palace, and they have more say in the research association. Bigger... As mentioned before, the Nine Palaces are also divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower.

The three palaces with the strongest overall strength and the largest say are Taishang Palace, Yuxu Palace, and Lingbao Palace.

The next three palaces are the Weiyang Palace where Chen Jing lives, and the Changsheng Palace where another fellow practitioner who has escaped from the world lives.

The ones with the weakest remaining strength and the smallest right to speak are the four palaces that outsiders say originated from the birth of the Four Elephants... Qinglong Palace, White Tiger Palace, Suzaku Palace, and Xuanwu Palace.

The areas they are responsible for managing are all close to the outskirts of the city, and the commercial areas that are really rich in oil and water but less troublesome are almost divided by the five palaces above.

Therefore, if you want to get more oil and water in exchange for resources for practice, it is inevitable that you will accidentally get over the line. The resulting conflicts are not uncommon in Hanging City.

But then again, even if they lend some courage to the Four Elephant Palaces, they would not dare to take it into the pockets of the Upper Third Palace. Therefore, these conflicts will only occur between the Four Elephant Palaces, or occasionally cross the boundary between the Weiyang Palace and the Changsheng Palace. Get involved.

But if you look at the frequency, it is obvious that Weiyang Palace suffers more frequently. After all, the person in Changsheng Palace is not as good-tempered as "Zhenjun Huaijing".

Although he is also an alchemist who is keen on escaping from the world and practicing pure cultivation, his level of escapism is far less than that of "Zhenjun Huaijing". After losing his temper with the Four Symbol Palace several times, gradually no one dared to provoke the Changsheng Palace.

So from a certain point of view, the reason why Weiyang Palace often suffers is still due to Zhenjun Huaijing. His character is not easy to bully, but he just doesn't take these things seriously, and he is always regarded as a weakling by outsiders. persimmon……

Before Chen Jing took over, Zhenjun Huaijing was still hesitating whether to stop his cultivation and go out to deal with these trivial matters...

Yes, it was all trivial to him.

He doesn't even think there's anything to be ashamed of. It's serious business to pursue the road as quickly as possible, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

This is the idea of ​​Zhenjun Huaijing.

This is also the reason for the gradual decline of Weiyang Palace.

If the disciple suffers a loss, he may not necessarily help the disciple to stand up.

Over time, there was no one in Weiyang Palace.

If Turing hadn't found Lord Huaijing alone this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have bothered to care about such a trivial matter.

Turing said.

The decline of Weiyang Palace is not a good thing, especially during the period when the Hanging City is closed. The enemy is about to come, so the stability of the Hanging City is the first priority.

Turing hoped that the disciple he was optimistic about could do more things.

He is not expected to do much, but at least he should manage his own territory well.

Especially during the period when the Hanging City is closed, there are indeed too many people making small moves down there... Although it can take care of this kind of thing by itself, there are indeed more important things for it to worry about now, and the situation is not so difficult that it needs to be The point where it comes out.

True Lord Huai Jing has always listened to the words of his mentor Turing, so before he was taken away, even if he was conflicted in his heart, he already had the answer.

But before he could follow his mentor's wishes, Chen Jing came to kill him without stopping...

"so troublesome."

Chen Jing murmured in his heart, looking at the alchemists who came in the floating car, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. After all, he came to the Hanging City with a mission, and the most important thing was to find the dimensional core as soon as possible to complete the promotion. What's the point of fighting with these guys?

at the same time.

The atmosphere in the gradually descending floating cars was particularly solemn, especially the leading alchemists, who all began to look at each other in confusion at this moment, because none of them expected that the owner of Weiyang Palace would personally handle such a trivial matter.

"Senior Brother Sanfa, have we made this a big deal..."

"Is that True Lord Huai Jing?!"
