Broken Night

Chapter 158 - Southern Imperial City

In the middle of winter, the snow is blowing. ．

It's just that the climate in the south is mild. Even if it snows, it's just a little snow. Under the beautiful sunshine, it looks like a white fairyland.

Night Wolf dragged the car forward.

Although the stove in the car was not lit, Xu Yan, Zuo Chengzhe and Bai Yun were obviously not afraid of the cold and heat. Occasionally, the wind and snow blow in, but the three of them don't feel it, but they feel it.

It has been nearly half a month since I left Pingnan.

According to the distance, they were already very close to their destination, Nanhuang City.

Xu Yan couldn't help recalling the many things that happened along the way.

He was attacked and killed by Chen Shugen and fled in embarrassment, risking his life to carve a tattoo for Zuo Chengzhe into the palace and continue to escape;

Xie family in Yeshi City, Xingshilou met Xie Yubai and detoxified him, and thus got involved in the infighting of Xie family;

I harvested all kinds of rare and exotic herbs in the Brandyin Mountains, and I also saw the understanding of the legendary grain lifting pattern, and also learned the past of Zuo Chengzhe, Wang Jun and the legendary fifth gentleman of Yunfu, Qu Xuan;

He was helpless after seeing the mutation of his own sky fire, and then decided to make up his mind in the city of slashing thorns, and poured his power into the sky fire;

Walking into Pingnan, he almost died under the hands of a Taoist woman in Huangquan. Inexplicably, he became a cheap apprentice of Pingzhi, learned the two methods of medicine and medicine, and even helped the Ping family to solve a difficulty;

Large and small, some have deep memories, some have already begun to forget, and have traveled through more than ten cities, nearly a year's journey.

As if it was born yesterday.

The closer he got to the Southern Imperial City, Xu Yan felt something in his heart.

Self-trained in the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Fire Technique and learned the pattern, he felt that he was about to break through. I don't know what kind of breakthrough it will be, but for him, it will be the starting point of his life.

It is not the starting point to start practicing the strength of the lines.

The starting point of the real pattern is to break through the Xiantian Palace first!

Although he didn't know how his Qi Palace, which was sealed by the bottleneck, would break through, he just felt that he would break through in Nanhuang City. If he accepts apprentices in Yunfu a year later, he has not yet broken through the Xiantian Palace, then he may not even have a chance to compete with the heavenly talents in the world.

Suddenly, Zuo Chengzhe said, "Look, the South Imperial City is ahead."

...

How to describe it.

After seeing the Nanhuang City, it is difficult to describe the city.

A literati once arrived at Nanhuangcheng and said with emotion: "It is as tall as a mountain, as deep as a mountain, as broad as the sky, and as vast as the sea."

Xu Yan can no longer be considered a country bumpkin, since he left Nancheng, he has traveled through more than ten cities or villages, and he has a lot of knowledge. Among them, there are more big cities like Yeshi, Zangfeng, Pingnan and so on. But none of them can compare with Nanhuangcheng.

Pingnan City is also majestic, because in Pingnan City, a whole mountain is wrapped in it, and it has a unique secret. But the Southern Imperial City is different. Its walls are more than tens of feet, and it looks like a hill at a glance. Its city walls are boundless, and at first glance, it is as pitch-black as ink. But when you take a closer look, you will see bursts of dark blue light reflected in the sky.

Outside the city walls, there was even a layer of water mist.

The water mist does not look dense, but it is actually several meters thick, and it condenses and does not disperse.

These kinds of pictures are connected together, so that people look at the Southern Imperial City, and do not think that this is a city. It will make people think that this is a mountain, a wonderland.

This is the Southern Imperial City.

...

What kind of metal this is, even Xu Yan is not quite sure. He probably speculates that this is not a simple metal or ore, but a mixed material, and even more ripples.

It is probably a mixed material made of one or more metals that are good at making the texture pass through as the main raw material.

As for the layer of water mist, although it cannot be carefully sensed.

But Zuo Chengzhe and Xu Yan, who had seen the pattern of the Branded Mountain Range, had a very strong understanding of the pattern. In an instant, it was inferred that there were three patterns of fluctuations: [Gathering Clouds], [Condensing Rain], and [Dissolving Dew].

[Gathering Clouds] Can gather water mist in the air all the time;

【Condensation Rain】Able to atomize water into rain;

[Dew] is able to transform into grain power with such water attribute power;

Plus that special mixed metal…

Xu Yan's gaze is extremely vicious, which means that the city wall in front of him is strengthening every minute and every second! The power of that defense is increasing endlessly! One day, it will be even harder than the rocky earth!

What a big hand, what a powerful defense, what an amazing idea!

Although Xu Yan is a practitioner of alchemy, medicine, and tattooing, he was born in forging after all, and he is used to looking at things from the perspective of forging first. Just taking a look at the city wall of the Southern Imperial City in front of him made Xu Yan come up with several ideas and combinations for engraving soldiers when forging soldiers.

...

The night wolf moved forward, passing through the layer of water mist.

Not far ahead is the city gate.

Even the city gate was enveloped by this mist, and it looked like a cave entrance hidden under a waterfall. This door is very interesting, called the water curtain door. Anyone who passes through this door is like a door through a curtain of water.

"The South Imperial City is very large, and it also has four gates. They are collectively referred to as the Water Curtain Gate. If we want to call it another name, it is also called the south, south, north and west." Zuo Chengzhe said, looking at the water curtain gate in front of him. It's also a bit complicated.

Nanhuangcheng was where he was born and grew up.

Because the Southern Imperial City is also the city where the Zuo family is located.

Nanhuangcheng, as the southern capital and the place where power gathers, apart from the blue family royal family, its power distribution is intricate and complex. There are more than ten families alone, and some of these families are nobles who have their own tattoos or tattoos. Some of them were ministers of the Blue Dynasty, either possessing military power or imperial power.

Xu Yan remembered that in the archives, someone described the Nanhuang City as such.

"Perhaps the person who walks around in Nanhuang City and bumps into inadvertently is the son of an aristocratic family."

Although this is an exaggerated statement, it also indirectly represents the terror of the forces in the Southern Imperial City.

...

Somewhere in Nanhuang City, that is a mansion.

Inside the mansion, a person sat quietly, but his face was obviously not very good-looking.

Soon, a figure walked in: "Father."

Seeing this figure, the face of the man who had been sitting the whole time softened slightly: "Sheng'er."

The man known as "Sheng'er" has a strong body, and the lines on his face are slightly tough, but there are some sinister colors between his eyebrows.

This person is the current Panlong Zuojia, the most promising person to become the leader of the new generation—Zuo Sheng.

And the person who has been sitting is Zuo Sheng's father, who is also a powerhouse of the Fourth Palace—Zuo Canghai.

Because Zuo Sheng's strength is the strongest among his peers, and his potential is amazing, and he has broken through to the Three Palaces a year ago, so Zuo Canghai is now the most powerful branch of the Zuo family. It's just that the now old Zuo family head can hold them down.
