Chapter 789: There was a cat once upon a time
"Fang...Fang ping, are you really fengrou"s student?"
On the large platform, Lu Zhen was still in a daze.
He could indeed be considered his grand-disciple, but he came out of the precinct with confidence. He could even imagine his daughter"s shocked expression when she saw him come out alive and become a level nine.
But now ... It seemed that he was a little unconfident.
If his grand-disciple was already a rank-9, what about his daughter?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhen hurriedly asked,"is fengrou alright?" I heard that Hope City has been breached ..."
"Grandmaster Lu, how did you know that Hope City has been breached?" Fang ping frowned slightly and asked quickly.
"The senior inside said so ..."
Fang Ping"s eyes flickered, and he asked hurriedly,"you"ve seen a living person inside?"
"Yes."
"There"s a senior from the ancient martial arts era and a demonic beast called the grey cat inside,"Lu Zhen quickly said. Through the energy River beneath the boundary, the grey cat can communicate with some of the demon clans in the forbidden Sea and know some things about the outside world. "
"The forbidden Sea demon clan can be communicated with?"
Fang Ping"s eyes flickered. Raise demons!
It was difficult to communicate with the demon clan of the forbidden Sea, or rather, they almost ignored outsiders.
They were not like other demons who would at least pay attention to you.
However, the demon clan of the forbidden Sea wouldn"t even care about you.
But now, a demonic beast within Kuocang mountain could actually communicate with the forbidden Sea demon clan.
At this moment, Fang ping thought of the WarG.o.d"s words.
When the precinct was restored, there might not be any living people under its command, but it was very likely that a group of demons would appear.
Previously, Fang ping was still thinking that the demons in the precinct were not considered strong.
Kuocang mountain was considered an accident. There were many ninth rank demons.
In fact, there were only a few rank-7 and rank-8 demons in the other precincts. If the precinct was only used to raise these demons, it was nothing. It did not even have the strength to be a forbidden land.
Now, however, Fang ping suddenly felt something.
The demons raised in the precinct might not be within the precinct, but in the forbidden Sea!
A long time ago, Fang ping had discovered that there were a horrifyingly large number of demons in the tributaries of the forbidden Sea near the boundary. Rank-9s were as common as cabbages. Back then, when Rose city"s mistress crossed a River casually, there were a bunch of rank-9s below.
Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was the credit of the precinct, or they took the initiative to control it.
The forbidden Sea demon clan had a power in the world.
Fang ping thought to himself and quickly said,"teacher"s fine. Hope city"s fall was an accident." "More than ten rank-9s from Magic City catacombs attacked Hope City. We were forced to give up hope City.
"However, we"ve killed 6 rank-9s the last time. My coming to the precinct this time is also related to the upcoming counterattack ..."
Before Fang ping could finish his sentence, Lu Zhen was already completely stunned.
Have I really fallen behind?
Could this be a battle between two-digit rank-9s?
It had only been three years!
Three years ago, a rank-7 powerhouse making a move was already considered a war between the high ranks. The matter was of great importance and would cause a series of chain reactions.
And now ... More than ten rank-9s were attacking Hope City?
Six of them were killed?
Lu Zhen wanted to continue asking, but Fang ping was not in the mood to talk about this. He said hurriedly,"Grandmaster Lu ..."
Lu Zhen felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. He coughed lightly and said,"That ... That ... You can call me old Lu or old man Lu. There"s no need to be particular about these things between martial artists ..."
Fang ping was also a rank-9. Hearing him call him Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Lu Zhen felt a little awkward.
Fang Ping"s head hurt as well. Very quickly, he smiled."Then, we"ll be closer. Call him Grandmaster!"
"Don "t. I ... I"m not used to it."
Lu Zhen smiled bitterly. I"m really not used to it.
Seeing that Fang ping could not call him old man, Lu Zhen thought about it and said,"Call me Dean then. I was previously the Deputy Dean of the Inst.i.tute of combat techniques."
Lu Zhen was a scholar-type martial artist. He had once mainly studied cultivation techniques related to mental power.
Fang ping had some understanding of Lu Zhen. He was a social-type martial artist.
The establishment of the three major pill, weapons, and energy companies was all related to him. Lu Zhen was a veteran rank-7 powerhouse and had been promoting these.
The mentality detector that Lu fengrou had given Fang ping before was actually related to Lu Zhen. It was a project he had partic.i.p.ated in.
Lu Zhen had shares in both pill and weapon companies. Although it was very small, he was the only person in China who had shares in these companies.
This included the research of pills and medicinal formulas. Lu Zhen was very proficient in all of them.
When he first came to the precinct, he had also come with the purpose of looking for spiritual power cultivation techniques.
Fang ping did not hesitate when he heard him say that. He laughed and said,"Then call me director. Director, if I may ask, how did you enter the inner regions?"
"It was by chance that I came to the realm that day. It just so happened that the tide of energy erupted that day, and I just happened to arrive ..."
As Lu Zhen said this, he smiled bitterly,"actually, I didn"t go in. That day, senior Blue cat happened to be wandering around. I saw it through the regional wall, and it also saw me."
I don"t know if it was out of curiosity or some other reason, but senior Blue cat opened a small hole in the regional wall and motioned for me to go in.
At that time, I was in a dilemma. There were many demons nearby absorbing energy, and I was indeed curious about the boundary, so I went in in the end. "
"So you are saying that the regional wall was not opened by you?"
"No."
"The humans and demons inside can open the regional wall ..."
Fang ping was not surprised by this, but he was a little puzzled."Then why don"t they come out? According to what you said, Cang Mao didn"t come out, but opened a small hole to let you in?"
"Not bad."
"What"s the strength of the old cat?"
Lu Zhen shook his head."I"m not too sure. However, he"s very strong. He might be at the legendary absolute nightmare realm!"
"Peak monster race!"
Fang ping was a little surprised. Then, his eyes flickered as he said,"Peak-level monster race! A human could actually cultivate a top-notch demon ... This was extremely rare, unless it was the legendary beast taming sect!
In that case, Kuocang mountain might be the beast trainer sect?"
Fang ping suddenly thought of what had happened at the king"s battlefield back then. When the war had started, the powerhouses "mounts had been in chaos, and a large number of them had fled.
Fang ping had been to a historical site. A senior had left a message, saying that he could go to the beast Tamer sect to take a look at the situation and ask how to deal with it. The beast Tamer sect might have a way to resolve this, calling back the chaotic demons.
"Kuocang mountain? is that the beast taming sect that the senior mentioned?"
Fang ping had his own speculations, but he was still thinking about it. Lu Zhen was also a little impatient. He quickly said,"Fang ping, what"s the situation outside now? You came to the precinct this time for?"
Fang ping suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled."The situation outside is not too bad. The war has not broken out yet, and the strength of mankind is increasing day by day. We have already taken down several catacombs."
“……”
Fang ping briefly explained the situation, but Lu Zhen was once again dumbstruck.
"Mcmau ... Has dozens of grandmasters?
There were quite a few rank-9s?
Rank-7s were almost everywhere?
The absolute nightmare realm was not a legend.
Commander li, Minister Zhang, and Minister Nan were all at the top!
And the East and North guardians are also at the absolute nightmare realm?
"There are more than ten other extremis in China?"
Before this, Lu Zhen had felt that the elders of Kuocang mountain were very terrifying, including that demonic beast. He was even worried that these people would cause chaos in China if they came out.
But now, Lu Zhen realized that he knew too little.
He actually knew Zhang Tao and the others, but this was the first time he knew that they were all ultimate elites.
Seeing Lu Zhen in a daze once again, Fang ping was mentally exhausted. "I still have a lot of questions to ask."
This Grand Master is very unreliable, don"t be so dazed.
Fang ping glanced at the regional wall, thought for a while, and said,"Director, is the senior inside nice to talk to?"
"This ..."
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and said,"it"s alright, but the rules are stricter. Do you want to go in?" This senior doesn"t seem to like others entering the inner section. I was surprised because senior Blue cat brought me in, so I was left behind. "
"Like this?"
Fang ping was a little eager to try. "I didn"t get any benefits this time."
"Senior," Lu Zhen continued,"in addition, senior said that there were people from the north and south sects outside this time. Senior seems to be an expert from the South and is hostile to experts from the North. Before he came out, he even asked me to kill experts from the North ..."
Lu Zhen looked at Fang ping. He asked with some doubt,"Are there many people who came to the precinct this time? The imperishable substance in the lake of eternity has been greatly consumed. Senior doesn"t seem to be too happy. "
Lu Zhen continued,"by the way, Fang ping, the martial artist who attacked me earlier was ..."
Fang ping coughed drily."I"ve already killed him. He"s just a cultist, a clown. Don"t mind him, Dean."
Fang ping interrupted him and quickly changed the topic."Director, the north and south factions you mentioned ... Forget it, I"ll ask when I get back!"
Fang ping did not continue asking. He would have plenty of time when he got back.
What he was considering now was whether he should go now.
The person inside seemed to be angry.
It"s not because of me, right?
He had already sensed it before. The pressure was accompanied by anger. Now that the other party was in a fit of anger, if he went in, he wouldn"t be implicated, right?
"Forget it, it won"t be too late to come back after we conquer the seven Southern Territory!"
Fang ping was not in a hurry. There were some things that he had to clarify.
He had already achieved his goal in coming to the precinct.
Now that the demon race had agreed to cooperate, they might cause more trouble if they entered the precinct.
If he was like Lu Zhen and was left behind inside, that would be a big problem.
Fang ping could not afford to stay for three years.
It wouldn"t be too late for him to come back and try again after talking to old Zhang and Zhan w.a.n.g. If he really got into trouble, he could ask them to find a way to save him.
But ... How do I go back now?
Lu Zhen was a rank-9. Could he conceal his rank-9 aura?
"Logically speaking, rank-8 and rank-9 are different. I can"t hide it.
However, he was an eighth-grade seventh-refined metal. In terms of realm, he was not inferior to Lu Zhen.
Moreover, Fang ping had been guessing that concealing one"s aura might not require one"s realm, but the strength of one"s mentality.
Only spiritual power had the s.h.i.+elding effect.
His mentality was already close to 8000hz, Lu Zhen might not be higher than him, right?
His golden body was stronger than his, and his mentality was stronger than his. The only difference was that Lu Zhen had his own path, while Fang ping did not. That was the difference between the two.
Can I hide it from him?
Fang ping gave it some thought and decided to give it a try.
If that didn"t work, then he didn"t really want to bring Lu Zhen out this time. It would be even more dangerous if he went out. He wasn"t in danger, but Lu Zhen was.
It would be better to wait for the counterattack to end and let Lu Zhen go out.
After breaking through to rank-8 seventh refined, Fang ping had a lot to do and had not tested the system"s functions. Now, Fang ping wanted to try it out.
Very quickly, Fang ping used the system"s function.
In the next moment, Fang Ping"s eyes flickered!
Lu Zhen"s aura had disappeared!
Lu Zhen himself did not notice the abnormality, but Fang ping felt it clearly.
"It"s really feasible!"
Fang ping was a little surprised. He was just giving it a try. He did not expect it to work.
Did this mean that the system had tacitly acknowledged him as a martial artist of the same level as a weak ninth pin?
Or was it that the level didn"t matter, the key was still the level of spiritual power?
Fang ping guessed in his heart for a while, and then he was a little surprised.
He could conceal the aura of a weak rank-9, but the origin Dao probably couldn "t.
Then, could the counterattack that followed be able to cover up the few weak rank-9 martial artists and paralyze the true king of Mount Royal sea to buy him more time?
Fang ping stopped thinking about this and quickly said,"Dean, let"s go back to Earth as soon as possible! You"ve been here for three years after leaving the precinct, and teacher has been missing you. The Minister and the others probably have something to ask you ..."
"I also have something to discuss with the Department heads!" Lu Zhen hurriedly said.
Since the ministers were all at the peak, Lu Zhen really wanted to tell the humans about the cultivation technique, even though he had promised the seniors of Kuocang mountain not to teach it to others.
It didn"t matter even if something happened to him.
There were too many people who were shackled by their spiritual power!
If the cultivation method could be spread, it might be of great help to mankind.
As for what the senior from Kuocang mountain thought, Lu Zhen could not care less.
Sometimes, there were things that he knew he shouldn"t do, but he had no choice.
"Then let"s go back now!"
Fang ping did not waste any time. He took another look at the regional wall. There were not only people on Kuocang mountain, but also ultimate nightmare realm monsters. This was big news. He had to quickly inform the outside world.
Moreover, Fang ping had thought even deeper!
Did all the human mounts from back then really die?
The demon race had a long lifespan!
The battle on the king Battle Ground was more than 2000 years ago. If the devil race back then was strong enough, they might still be alive.
Where was he?
For the past 2000 years, had these demons been protecting the Royal Court? Thousand Goblin Royal Court? Or the forbidden Sea?
Could Kuocang mountain call back these demons?
It had been more than 2000 years. If he hadn"t died, he should have become a Paragon!
Even if he wasn"t back then, he should be now.
After all, they had lived for so many years. The longer they lived, the higher their realm was. A rank-9 might not have been able to live until now.
Kuocang mountain was very important!
This place could not be touched easily, or else it might cause big trouble.
"The South and the North? Are you talking about iron head and old Yao?"
"Old Lu reached rank-9 so quickly, and his mentality didn"t cause any shackles. Beast Tamer sect ... The crystal ring from last time ..."
Pieces of information flashed past Fang Ping"s mind!
Many things were opening up to him.
If these ancient martial artists were all dead, Fang ping would not care about these secrets.
But now, these ancient martial art pract.i.tioners were not dead, and they played a pivotal role, so they could not be ignored.
Fang ping really wanted to figure this out. At the very least, he wanted to know the difference between friend and foe!
There might be eight absolute beginning realm experts in eight different regions ... No, there was still a demonic beast here. What about the other regions?
Perhaps, there were more than 8 paragons!
This was a power that could change the entire situation!
If Sino nation had 25 paragons, even if they were no match for the catacombs, they could seal off the entire outer region.
Even if the 25 of them did not seal off Mount Royal sea and returned to earth, those true monarchs would not dare to come over easily.
"History is getting more and more confusing. What the h.e.l.l are these guys doing?"
Fang ping cursed in his heart. He quickly collected his emotions and said hurriedly,"Director, let"s go!"
Lu Zhen didn"t delay, but he still said,"Are we leaving through the pa.s.sageway now?"
"It"s more dangerous on the other side of the pa.s.sageway now. There were 18 rank-9s blocking the way before, and we don"t know if there are 18 now, so we"re not going through the pa.s.sageway ..."
Lu Zhen"s footsteps faltered.
That ... I originally wanted to use the pa.s.sageway.
He had even thought of taking advantage of the situation to break through the pa.s.sageway and kill his way back to the human world so that his daughter would know that he had returned, and that he had returned in a powerful manner!
But now ...
Lu Zhen suddenly felt lucky that he had met Fang ping.
Otherwise, I"m dead!
18th place, what a joke!
Was the outside world like this now?
"Even 18 rank-9s dared to counterattack!
"Moreover, he killed 6 of them earlier. Doesn"t that mean that almost all the rank-9s in Magic City catacombs have appeared?
"You said that Wu kuishan is already a rank-9. Then, did he go to kill that B * stard, the sky Gate City Lord?"
"The Lord of Sky Gate City died a long time ago."
"In August, mcmau went to war with Sky Gate City, annihilating the city and killing the sky Gate City Lord and the sky Gate tree. They seized Sky Gate City and renamed it Demon City.
"This time, if the remaining 12 cities of Magic City catacombs had not joined forces to attack us, we would not have lost magic City catacombs.
"Oh right, Dean, mcmau is overseeing the Magic City catacombs now.
"Mcmau is also the main force in this counterattack ..."
After Fang ping said that, he looked at Lu Zhen and smiled."This time, the Dean has gone back. Come to mcmau! "Teacher has always missed you. We haven"t seen each other for a few years. Dean, please stay at mcmau for a few more days.
"By the way, the princ.i.p.al might be entering the absolute nightmare realm this time ..."
“……”
Lu Zhen suddenly felt that he shouldn"t have asked. He didn"t really want to go back.
What"s wrong with this world?
"I haven"t come out for three years. It"s not like there aren"t any martial artists who have gone into seclusion for three years!
However, he had changed too much in the past three years!
His son-in-law was about to become a Paragon?
The legendary peak?
If he stayed here for another three years, the world wouldn"t change so much that he wouldn"t be able to recognize it, right?
Lu Zhen did not ask. Otherwise, Fang ping would have told him with certainty that that was a given.
In another three years, the war between the two worlds would probably break out.
"When that time comes, it"ll be common for paragons to die. Battles between high-ranks will probably be everywhere. Wars will also be a catalyst for strength. By then, perhaps some new paragons will emerge among the humans, including some rank-9 powerhouses.
At that time, things would be completely different from now.
If Lu Zhen were to stay for another three years, the world would definitely be different from before.
It was not advisable for martial artists to go into seclusion.
Unless they had plenty of time, the martial artists of the new martial era might not even be able to find their home after a casual closed-door cultivation.
……
A tributary of the forbidden Sea.
Fang ping retracted his aura and crossed the river with Lu Zhen.
Fang ping was not as nervous as he used to be. He even had the time to look at the bottom of the sea when he was in the air.
He still couldn"t explore the bottom of the sea.
He had no idea how many demons were gathered here.
Sometimes, Fang ping really wanted to go into the sea to see what was down there.
What was the situation inside the forbidden Sea?
How many demons were there?
How did they survive? would they always be in the sea, or would they rest on some islands in the sea?
Do they have their own social system?
A system similar to the thousand Goblin Royal Court?
Do they have a boss?
Fang ping retracted his aura. Lu Zhen sensed it too, and looked at Fang ping strangely.
He didn"t think much about it before, but now ... He felt that something was wrong.
Previously, he had sensed some aura in the materialization s.p.a.ce, but it had disappeared very quickly. At that time, he had thought that it was because his master had died. Now that he thought about it, someone had restrained it?
And this grand-disciple could also conceal his aura.
Was he really her Grand disciple?
However, the pocket watch in his hand was indeed his.
"The person who attacked me ... It can"t be him, right?"
Lu Zhen thought about it and shook his head slightly. It should not be. Otherwise, Fang ping would not have to kill so vigorously.
……
The moment Fang ping and Lu Zhen left the boundary ...
Kuocang mountain.
The big cat emerged from the bottom of the river, shook its big head, and suddenly said,""Let"s go!"
Peak-level demons could speak human words!
"He left?"
The illusionary figure was still illusionary at this moment, even if no one was looking.
"Let"s go. Those little ones said that it was a little strange ... But they sensed my aura, and I did find that my aura was far away from this place."
"Interesting! I thought they would come in, but they didn "t. "
The illusionary figure said, then slowly said,""Old cat, are you lonely after sleeping for so many years?"
Big cat shook its head and placed it on the bridge. It said indifferently,""It"s alright. I don"t like to move, so I"m quite comfortable sleeping. Have you recovered from your injuries?"
"It"s almost time. "
"Must we go out?"
The big cat raised its head, revealing a human-like puzzled face."Why do you have to go out?" Isn"t it good to be here? It"s not good to fight and kill, and it"s easy to get hurt. It"s just a little boring, but you can also find some people to come in ..."
The illusory figure glanced at it and said after a long while,""I have to! You"re still the same after all these years. Cang Mao, this time when we go out and fight again, if you dare to run again, I won"t be polite to you!"
The big cat continued to lie down and said lazily,""I didn"t run! I"m asleep, I"m really asleep! The sun was so bright that day. I just wanted to take a nap, but when I woke up, you guys were done. "
The illusionary figure trembled for a moment and said after a long time,""I know you"re asleep. Why don"t ..."
The illusory figure felt a little helpless.
The old cat was really asleep!
After the Battle of the Kings ended, when he escaped back, the old cat was still snoring, which almost angered him to death.
They had agreed to rush over as soon as possible, but it had already ended, and this guy had not woken up.
However, this was also good. Cang Mao didn"t go, so he was fine.
Otherwise, something might have happened to him.
The big cat ignored him. It scratched its face with its big tail and said lazily,""I miss my old friends a little. I wonder how many of them are still alive. Was the little sword still alive?
He used to fish for me, but I haven"t had it for a long time. I"m starting to miss the taste. "
"Don"t mention him!"
The illusory figure snorted coldly."It"s best that mo Wenjian is dead. He"s not dead ... He"s lucky that he"s not dead!" If it wasn"t for him back then, things wouldn"t have ended up like this ..."
Big cat was too lazy to listen to this and continued to say,""When you were fighting back then, did those old fellows appear? Were they really dead? I remember seeing them when I was young, but many years have pa.s.sed and I don"t really remember.
I only remember that there was a big dog that s.n.a.t.c.hed my food every day. I don"t know if it"s dead or not. I really want to beat it up!"
The illusory figure felt that there was no need to continue the conversation!
You only know how to eat and sleep after eating!
You are not a cat, you are a pig!
If I had known, I would have raised a pig back then. Why did I raise you? you"ve eaten so much of my food, and you"re always thinking about useless things!
Ignoring bigcat"s question, the illusory figure said again,""Lu Zhen has gone out. I wonder if I"ll be able to see those old fellows. So many years have pa.s.sed, I wonder how they"re doing."
"Do you think they"ll store some food before the great change?"
“……”
The illusory figure felt a little tired and fell silent.
Big cat continued,"next time when I go out, I won"t fight. Can I go fis.h.i.+ng in the forbidden Sea?" If I remain neutral, will they attack me?"
"Shut up!"
"You were the one who asked me to speak,"
"You shut up!"
"You"re still so hot-tempered, this isn"t good. By the way, do you still want your body? If I don"t want it, will it taste good when I roast it? Do you want to try?"
"Old cat!"
The illusionary figure trembled and disappeared in the next moment.
He was about to die from anger. This cat was getting more and more annoying!
