Northwest garrison.
Daixing City, City Lord's Mansion.
Qu Hongde came over early in the morning to visit the city lord Fu Zhengqing, with a worried look on his face.
Fu Zhengqing went out to greet him personally and invited the old principal to his private living room. He specially took out the spiritual tea that he had treasured for a long time and brewed it for Qu Hongde himself.
"If Mr. Qu has any orders, just send someone over to let me know. I'll pay him a visit in person. Why bother coming over in person?"
Putting the brewed spiritual tea on Qu Hongde's table, Fu Zhengqing approached Qu Hongde politely.
After not seeing each other for a while, Qu Hongde's cultivation has actually improved again. Now he has broken through to the realm of sixth-level Martial King, and is quite capable of breaking free from the cage and flying into the sky.
Fu Zhengqing knew that this might be the true manifestation of Qu Hongde's talent. He had accumulated a lot of experience and made a blockbuster success.
If it weren't for the poison entering his body, which prevented the old man from making any progress in cultivation and staying in the half-step king realm for nearly a hundred years, Qu Lao Dang would have taken advantage of the second spiritual power surge to step into the king realm in one fell swoop. .
Compared to Mr. Qu's rapid progress after breaking through the realm, Fu Zhengqing was extremely dissatisfied with the speed of his cultivation.
He got a lot of cultivation resources from Yang Fan, and caught up with the great changes in spiritual power after the fifteenth spiritual power tide. As a result, after so long, he was able to reach the level of cultivation of the ninth level Martial King.
He is not even an emperor, but he is still at the lowest level among all the domain lords in the thirty-six domains of the federation. It is so embarrassing.
"You kid, why are you being so polite in front of me?"
Qu Hongde was not polite to Fu Zhengqing and said directly:
"I just received the news that the entire thirty-six regions of the Federation are now thinking of ways to build a new type of city protection formation. Don't you, the northwest region lord, have any ideas?"
The battle situation in the Federal Central City had been reported to the northwest garrison as early as yesterday, and the power of the new city defense formation also became famous.
Who wouldn’t be interested in a super city-protecting formation that can trap and kill even a half-emperor monster
In this special stage when the emperor is not leaving, having such a large city defense formation that can trap, kill and deter the half-emperor demon is simply the safest guarantee of survival, right
In the thirty-sixth territory of the Federation, which territory lord wouldn’t want to build a city defense formation like this outside his own city
However, there was no movement from the city lord's palace in their northwest garrison. Those powerful men from well-informed families in the city couldn't help but start to murmur in their hearts.
They couldn't just come and question Fu Zhengqing, the city lord, so they had to focus on Qu Hongde, who was able to talk to the city lord and was highly respected.
As a result, countless news began to appear in front of Qu Hongde, who had been in seclusion for many days, in various ways.
"I understand what Mr. Qu means, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!"
Fu Zhengqing gave a wry smile. He had guessed Qu Hongde's purpose early on. In fact, Qu Hongde was not the first person to come over and mention this issue to him.
As early as the day before yesterday, news of the victory in the battle to protect the city of Federal Central City came. Fu Zhengqing had received notices from several other allied domain owners, saying that the leaders of each domain rushed to Federal Central City at the same time to discuss with the Federal Central Government. A new method of building a large defensive formation is needed.
At that time, Fu Zhengqing simply refused on the grounds of breakthrough in seclusion.
It's not that he doesn't want to join in the fun, it's not that he doesn't fit in with the crowd, it's just that his strength doesn't allow him to.
Federal Central City is no better than Jinghua City.
When the thirty-six domain lords gathered in Jinghua, although the situation was chaotic, it was probably limited to the disputes between the kings. Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde still had enough energy to travel thousands of miles to Jinghua City.
But now, even half-emperors are starting to act like monsters, and emperor-level battles can be seen everywhere. In addition, the federal central city is far more than 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers away from their northwest garrison.
Given that their northwest garrison didn't even have the foundation to have a serious emperor, going out for a wander would be tantamount to courting death.
The lowest level majors in other domains are sixth-level and seventh-level Martial Emperors. It only takes about half an hour to go to the central city of the Federation. But Fu Zhengqing, who is not even the peak king level, can't compare with him at all.
Fu Zhengqing had no doubt that if he dared to go to the Federal Central City to join in the fun, even if he was traveling with other emperor-level domain lords, the probability of dying on the way would definitely be over 80%.
He is not stupid, how could he go out to seek death at this time
Even if those emperor-level allies are willing to protect him and take him for a ride, if an emperor-level war really breaks out and they are attacked by a demon emperor or a half-step demon emperor, who will really fight for a ninth-level warrior like him? King Wu is going to fight for his life
"I am only at the ninth level of the Martial King, not even the Emperor. Let's not talk about whether I can reach the Federal Central City alive. Even if I can get there smoothly, so what?"
"In order to build the current Class B psychic city outside the city, we almost exhausted the resources of the entire garrison. It was only because the federal central government provided nearly 60% of the subsidy in advance that it was barely completed."
"Now, the current situation is chaotic and our financial resources are insufficient. If we spend more money to build a new type of city protection formation, the entire residents of Daixing City may go hungry."
In a nutshell, there is no money.
Everyone knows that a large city defense formation that can block or even trap and kill the half-emperor demon is a good thing, but the problem is that their northwest garrison has more than enough intentions but not enough power.
Just like back then, they clearly knew that the most powerful psychic defense formation in the Federation was a Grade A special psychic defense. When fully activated, it could even withstand the Emperor's attack.
But why did their northwest garrison choose to build a Class B special psychic protective array
Is it because they don’t want to increase Daixing City’s protection level
NO!
It's not that they didn't want to, but with their financial and resources at the time, they simply couldn't support the construction of a Grade A special psychic protective array, so in the end they had to settle for the next best thing and choose a Grade B psychic protective array.
The current situation is the same. No matter how awesome the new city defense formation is, they don’t have the financial resources and resources. What’s the point of using it
Counting on full funding from the federal center government? There has never been a precedent like this.
Each of the thirty-six regions of the federation has a certain degree of autonomy. The annual taxes collected by the central government of the federation are relatively low. Many financial matters actually need to be resolved by each region on their own.
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to expect the federal central government to be merciful and fully allocate funds to the northwest garrison to build a city defense array.
Qu Hongdeba smacked his lips twice. The northwest has always been poor. This is a fact.
"Isn't it said that the little guy Yang Fan is in charge of all the construction of the protective formation? Maybe we can go to Jinghua City to find him to find a solution?"
Qu Hongde quietly put forward his suggestion.
Yang Fan is one of our own and the founder of the city defense formation. It is better to find him than to go directly to the federal central city to cry for poverty.
"There is no problem finding Junior Brother Yang Fan."
Fu Zhengqing smiled bitterly again and said: "But the problem is that Junior Brother Yang Fan is only responsible for teaching the spiritual masters in various areas how to build formations, but our northwest garrison can't even find a spiritual master now, so what's the use of going there?" ?”
In the final analysis, there is still a lack of talent and resources. No matter how well Yang Fan does outside, he is still just one person. How can he still provide them with everything
Daixing City is not Xichu City. Xichu City is Yang Fan's hometown. It has few rules and Zhu Huanan is personally in charge. Yang Fan may still have the ability to build a new type of city protection array for Xichu City for free.
But Dai Xingcheng is too big, and the resources consumed must be astronomical. No matter how thick-skinned Fu Zhengqing is, he would be embarrassed to talk to Yang Fan.
"Having said that, we can't do nothing. The current situation is unstable. There may be a demon emperor or even a half-step demon emperor coming to ask for help one day..."
Qu Hongde couldn't help but frown. No matter how poor the northwest was, it was still their hometown, and they had to protect it even if they risked their lives.
Qu Hongde wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt something strange in the void, and couldn't help but suddenly raised his head and looked up.
The same was true for Fu Zhengqing. While looking up, he also teleported out of the city.
"Where did so many human emperors come from? Why did they come to the northwest of me?"
Feeling the powerful pressure coming from several emperor-level experts, Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde couldn't help but feel their hearts tense at the same time.
Never had so many powerful emperors come to their northwest garrison. Could it be that they were looking for trouble
When they got closer, Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde's eyes were almost all focused on Ling Tian, Sang Duoduo and Ji Danyun, who had the highest cultivation level and brought the most intimidation to them with their souls.
Intuition told them that the cultivation strength of these three people may have exceeded the scope of the emperor's strong men, and it is very likely that they have reached the half-step emperor realm.
At the same time, they also identified the identities of Ling Tian and Ji Danyun among the three people. Especially when they saw An Sheng and Tian Feiyao standing in the crowd, they couldn't help but feel at ease, and they were even more sure of these people. They are friends, not enemies.
However, what made them a little unbelievable was that the cultivation strength of these people was so fantastic that they found it difficult to accept it for a while.
That's it for Ling Tian and Ji Danyun. The last time they met, Ling Tian's cultivation was already close to the peak of the Spirit Emperor, and Ji Danyun had stayed at the peak of the Spirit Emperor for decades, occasionally making breakthroughs when encountering opportunities. It's still reasonable.
But what happened to the little fat man An Sheng and the little girl Tian Feiyao
These two juniors know everything about it. They had seen it before when the martial arts secret realm was opened.
One is below the master level, and the other has just been promoted to the master level. Although they are both talented people, their level of strength is still within the understandable range.
But what is going on now? How come they have only seen each other for a few months, and the cultivation realm of these two people has actually surpassed these two old guys
Ninth-level spiritual masters, did these two juniors eat rockets? How could their breakthrough speed be so fast? !
"What are you still doing? The two people in front of you, one is the master's senior brother, and the other is the master's senior master, why don't you come over and pay your respects!"
At this time, the little fat man Ansheng took two steps forward. First he bowed politely to Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing, then turned around and faced the junior brothers and sisters behind him in the posture of the chief senior brother. A lecture.
Thieves have style.
Just when Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing were still a little frightened and curious about why An Sheng, the little fat man, dared to be so rude to these half-step emperors and emperors, something happened that made them confused and at a loss.
In their eyes, these emperor-level and half-emperor-level powerful men actually obeyed An Sheng's instructions. They all raised their bodies and bowed to the ground in front of the two of them, performing the courtesy of a junior. .
"Meet the Master!"
"Meet Master!"
Everyone paid their respects in unison, including even Ji Danyun, who was the lord of a region.
I really saw a ghost. What happened? Why does it feel like the whole world is a little abnormal
Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing were immediately confused. They both wanted to raise their hands and slap themselves hard to see if they were still dreaming.
