I have an eternal eye

If we say that the chessboard world is divided into regular chessboard areas due to the special terrain, the mountains and rivers.

Then the machine city is the chess piece walking above.

This world is much more developed than the Ancient Yuan Dynasty. The plains have become granaries, the mountains are full of mines, and medicinal herbs are planted in places with abundant spiritual veins.

Dotted with villages scattered among them, the government cities moved around to collect resources and suppress a party's luck.

This special method is related to the characteristics of Yanjia Sect.

They are good at refining weapons, and making ordinary magic weapons can naturally be completed by one person, but large-scale puppets usually require the cooperation of countless people, and the division of labor is clear.

Therefore, various sects in the chessboard world usually have strict hierarchies and numerous rules. Only in this way can they survive and continue in the cruel competition.

Among the many government cities, Jiuzang City can only be considered ordinary, but it still has more than 200,000 people. The city is extremely large, like a giant hill.

If such a big thing wants to move, many formations are running at the same time, and the consumption of spiritual energy can be imagined.

Therefore, be prepared every time you move.

But before, no one had ever informed.

There must be an emergency!

Yuan Huai'an's heart moved and he already had a guess.

Jingle Bell!

A wooden-armored puppet whizzed by, its bells ringing rapidly as it shuttled up and down the floors.

This is the Fengzitang assembly signal.

The Yanjia Sect monks in Jiuzang City are basically divided into the four Fenglinhuoshan Halls.

Fengzitang is responsible for the operation of the city.

Lin Zitang, responsible for intelligence and logistics.

Huo Zi Tang specializes in fighting.

Shanzitang is for city defense and punishment.

Each hall has its own messenger puppet. If they do not assemble on time, they will be punished and the allocated resources will be deducted.

Yuan Huaian closed the door tightly and ran out.

He did not walk on the bridge, but jumped down the high-rise building, with the wind whistling in his ears and his robes flying fiercely.

He was not the only one to jump down, and Fengzitang was not the only puppet transmitting instructions. The whole area was in chaos.

"What happened?"

"There's an urgent order from above, who knows what's going on..."

"Hurry up before you get punished!"

Yuan Huaian listened to everyone's words. Although he felt strange, his face was expressionless. He quickly reached the bottom of the floor and followed a passage into the underground.

Jiuzang City is just like its name. There are nine ring-shaped areas above the base, named after the nine palaces. There is no free access to each other.

The advantage of this is that if something goes wrong in an area, it can be sealed off. Even if a foreign enemy invades, the entire city will not be paralyzed.

The area where Yuan Huaian is located is Naigen Shifang.

There are two floors underground of the high-rise building, which is the area where the machine city is controlled. When Yuan Huaian arrived, there were already thousands of people standing densely inside, lined up according to their respective responsibilities.

Yuan Huaian's team is specifically responsible for maintenance.

Whenever an organic formation breaks down, they must repair it as soon as possible. If there is a mistake, the entire team will be punished.

After entering the team, no one dared to speak.

I saw a figure leaping up from the high platform. He was tall and half his body was made of a metal mechanism. He had a beard on his face, an astonishing aura, and fierce eyes.

This is Hu Lie, the deputy head of Fengzi Hall in Genshi Fangnei.

The four Fenglin Huoshan Halls are located in the nine major urban areas, and each has nine deputy hall masters. They are considered to be middle-level monks in the city, and most of them are at the peak of foundation building.

The four major hall masters are Jindan monks and live together in the upper city area with several major families that govern Jiuzang City.

Hu Lie didn't waste any time. He glanced around and said in a cold voice: "A spiritual mine was discovered on the border and surrounded by several spiritual veins. The Xuanji City next door has already rushed there. On the order of the city lord, we will go and occupy it immediately. You and other departments will There must be no mistakes in his duties!”

"yes!"

Everyone raised their hands and immediately dispersed.

When Yuan Huaian heard this, he was no longer surprised.

After countless years of development in the chessboard world, most areas have been explored, but with changes in the earth's crust, new spiritual vein areas will always appear.

Because half of the world's origin was given to Xuanhuang to drive away the invading demons, there were fewer and fewer new spiritual veins appearing.

Each one will cause contention.

Now that this one is at the border, I'm afraid it's going to be another round of wrangling...

In the hall, everyone quickly became busy.

Some guards were standing next to the formation in the main city, and following the orders from above, they changed out the accessories of the formation from time to time...

Some shuttle back and forth, controlling puppets outside the city...

Yuan Huaian and others were divided into two teams. One team patrolled between the mezzanines of various agencies, and the other team was on standby at any time...

The lower city area was even more busy.

Countless slave workers climbed up and down from warehouse to warehouse, cleaning gears and huge furnaces.

The machine city is a huge monster. When it occupies the mining area, the entire city will move, directly opening up the ore veins and refining them.

Massive spiritual materials gather to provide vitality for the city's operation.

Woo——!

A huge roar sounded, and the whole city was rumbling and shaking. The roar of spiritual energy passing through the pipes and the sound of huge gears colliding filled the city with noise.

The spiritual light visible to the naked eye expanded from the central upper city area and soon enveloped the entire city, forming a huge divine realm.

This is the core formation of the organ city.

With the help of the power of "Moment" and the Puppet Temple, the surrounding wind roared, and the huge city slowly rose, more than ten meters above the ground.

Of course, this is the limit of the magic circle.

As the large and small gears in the base of the city rotated and steam spewed out, folded bronze pillars protruded outside the city and penetrated deeply into the ground. They began to move quickly like millipedes.

It seems that it is far inferior to Youqian City.

But Youqian City is the ruins of Nadim. It is an artifact from the last era that even Xiang Liu has to fight for. It can travel through all realms and is much smaller in size. Naturally, it can be supported by the Styx River alone.

Jiuzang City is huge in size and has an astonishing weight. Being able to move it in the vast world is the crystallization of the wisdom of many monks.

beep--!

The long horn sound sounded again, and in the upper city area, there were also several rays of light piercing the sky in the distance.

That was when the Golden Core cultivator controlled the Horcrux to investigate first.

When Hu Lie, the deputy head of Fengzi Hall, heard this, he couldn't help but cursed secretly, and then said loudly: "You heard it, the boss must speed up and get to the mining area first at any cost!"

With the order, everyone in the hall became even busier, the gears in the lower city area rotated rapidly, and they could feel the ground rumbling and shaking.

As the speed increased, Yuan Huaian and others became busier. From time to time, the magic circle was blocked and needed to be repaired quickly.

Yuan Huaian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart began to get excited.

This organ city has been built for thousands of years, and many of its formations have aged. It can be said to be barely maintained.

But there is no other way. Building a new organ city requires a huge amount of resources, which cannot be collected by just the few big families in the city.

It's just a minor problem now.

If you rush forward with all your strength, there will definitely be a problem in the core ancient mechanism area. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can enter it.

Buzz!

Sure enough, not long after, several magic circles on the left side of the hall made strange noises, then bulged up and exploded.

puff!

A monk on guard was unable to dodge and was immediately hit by a broken piece of iron. His head exploded like a watermelon.

However, Hu Lie did not care about human life.

"idiot!"

He roared angrily, came to the magic circle, looked up and down, and then said in a deep voice: "There is a problem on the ancient machine road, Situ Yuan, please take someone to investigate."

"There are few left, follow me to replace the magic circle!"

While talking, he actually started to dismantle the magic circle himself.

New spiritual veins have not appeared for several years, and there are more than one, and they are also accompanied by spiritual mines. If something goes wrong, even he will be unlucky.

"Quick, quick, come with me!"

A short, fat, middle-aged man with a mustache quickly stepped forward.

This is Situ Yuan, the steward in charge of patrol and maintenance. It was because of him that Yuan Huaian left the lower-level city.

Situ Yuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he walked quickly forward.

The rest followed closely behind with a bitter look on their face.

The ancient mechanism road is the core area of ​​Jiuzang City. It is filled with thousands of years of antiques. Many of the magic formations have been lost, and to prevent interference with the operation of the spiritual formations, the divine realm has not been covered.

It's dark and damp there, which often breeds evil things, and there's also the accumulation of evil spirits, so you'll get caught if you're not careful.

What's even more troublesome is that if one of those old antique formations is damaged, we can only ask the master of weapon refinement from the main gate to come and repair it.

This is also the method used by Yanjia Sect to control various organ cities.

It's okay to encounter evil spirits, but if something goes wrong and those spiritual mines are missed, it's not their fault, and they will take the blame.

Only Yuan Huaian was full of hope.

Not long after, everyone followed the secret passage to the next level and came to a bronze door.

This door is old and mottled, and there are reliefs of vicious beasts.

Situ Yuan took out a gold-inlaid jade pendant from his arms and stuffed it into the mouth of the beast's embossed fangs. Then, accompanied by the machine's sound amplification and the flash of spiritual light, the bronze door slowly opened.

Yuan Huaian glanced at the jade pendant and quickly lowered his head.

Only Situ Yuan and Hu Lie possess the magic weapon that can enter the ancient organ path. He doesn't know what's going on inside yet, so he'd better find a way to get it.

Entering the bronze door is a corridor.

In the corridor, there were bronze puppets embedded in the corridor. When they saw everyone entering, their eyes ignited with blood, and they turned their heads and looked at everyone.

"Fengzitang, ordered to go into maintenance!"

Situ Yuan quickly raised the token.

The vicious aura of those puppets immediately subsided, but the red light in their eyes never dissipated, and they looked at everyone coldly.

When Yuan Huaian saw it, his heart suddenly sank.

Puppet of Hades!

There is this thing guarding the secret passage of the ancient mechanism. No wonder there is no guard outside.

This thing is the secret technique of Yanjia Sect. If Master Qianji hadn't told Zhang Biao many techniques, he still wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I'm afraid just having the token is not enough...

Yuan Huai'an felt inexplicably anxious.

Passing through the corridor, there are densely arranged passages in front of you, and the entrance is like a honeycomb. It looks like it is made of stone, but it is all made of nightmare. The yin energy gathers and condenses into a thick layer of frost, which is cold to the bone.

"This way!"

Situ Yuan looked up and down and found that the frost was melting rapidly in a passage, so he immediately led everyone in.

This time, everyone suffered.

Most of them were in the Qi refining stage, but only one or two people successfully built the foundation. The evil energy accumulated inside made everyone's teeth tremble. In addition, the passage was narrow, so they could only move forward with a low body.

"Gululu..."

Not far away, there was a strange noise coming from the front.

Situ Yuan stretched out his hand, and a fire talisman roared out, turning into flames flying up and down, illuminating the front.

It was a pitch-black ball of water, emitting an astonishing chill, with a pale corpse floating up and down in it.

Seeing them coming, he immediately opened his dark eyes.

"It's the Corpse Charm!"

Situ Yuan cursed, "Which wicked person dies in there and doesn't collect his body!"

After saying that, he took off a spirit snake puppet from his waist and threw it out.

The zombie is a kind of zombie. It absorbs the evil spirit after death, and its residual soul is trapped in the corpse, and it is good at using magic.

Sure enough, upon sensing the aura of the living, the corpse demons were immediately wrapped in cold water balls and surged toward them.

However, Situ Yuan had already built the foundation, and the spirit snake puppet was quite impressive. It was already red in mid-air, emitting blazing flames, and penetrated directly into the body of the corpse.

Soon, it was reduced to ashes.

As soon as the corpse charm was removed, the sinister energy suddenly surged in the passage, but Situ Yuan still led everyone to move forward and found an formation passage that was blocked by ice. After cleaning it, the ancient machine formation was reopened.

That's all they can do.

In the following period, Yuan Huaian often followed Situ Yuan into the secret passages of ancient institutions for maintenance, and he became more and more familiar with the terrain inside.

Finally, after a malfunction, Situ Yuan led everyone through the frost pipe and arrived at a hall.

Inside, there stood a bronze altar, with a gold-lined jade suit prominently placed on it, covered with thick dust...

"hiss--!"

After someone saw it, they gasped and said, "Steward Situ, why are there still corpses in here? Aren't you afraid that they will turn into evil spirits?"

"You know nothing!"

Situ Yuan said coldly: "This thing is an ancient demon blood puppet. I heard that it was found from the ancient spirit realm. It is powerful. It was originally the secret of our Jiuzang City, but something went wrong later."

"The refining method has been lost. We can only use the spiritual veins in the city to nourish it and see if it can be repaired in the future."

After that, he said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, replace the array accessories quickly, and be careful. If these old antiques are broken, we will all be in trouble."

Everyone sighed and started to get busy.

Only Yuan Huaian secretly looked at the jade-clad body, his heart pounding...

…

After two days and nights, Jiuzang City finally reached the border.

boom!

Accompanied by a huge roar, the machine city took root on a mountaintop. In the valley ahead, a spiritual light shot into the sky, the wind roared, and the wind and sand surged, as if dragons were dancing.

And further away, there is another machine city standing.

What follows is high-level negotiations between the two parties. After all, they are still from the same sect. If they forcefully destroy the government city, the gains outweigh the losses.

Yuan Huaian and others at the bottom level were naturally not qualified to participate in this kind of thing. They were exhausted after several days, so everyone could take turns to rest.

Yuan Huaian returned to his room, waiting anxiously for nightfall to communicate with Zhang Biao in his dream.

Although I have found the puppet, it is somewhat difficult to obtain it beyond imagination.

What he didn't know was that on the top of a mountain hundreds of miles away, two figures slowly appeared in the woods.

One of them is the warlock Bai Yan.

He looked at the two machine cities in the distance with a fox-like smile on his lips...

There will be more at night
