Chapter 72: The Big Dipper has seven stars, and Yuheng is the fifth
The Big Dipper has seven stars, and Yuheng is the fifth.
After reaching the Outer Tower Realm, cultivators will anchor the four-star regions. Their exploration of the stars has never stopped, but it seems like they have never found the end.
It is said that the Yuheng Peak in Sanshan City corresponds to the Yuheng Star in the Big Dipper. When the celestial phenomenon arrives, something incredible will happen.
Of course, this is just a legend. No one has ever confirmed it.
The only thing that cultivators in Sanshan City can confirm is that this mountain peak has been one of the sources of beast disasters for decades. Ferocious beasts constantly pour out of this mountain peak and invade the city, destroying roads, fields, and devouring people and livestock.
Now, it's time to put an end to all of this.
Before Sun Heng, no one dared to think this way. But after Shubi Peak was eliminated, Yuheng Peak naturally became the second target.
Sanshan City has been preparing for this day for two years.
Dead cultivators need to be replenished, new cultivators need to grow, and various resources such as magical tools and medicinal herbs need to be replenished.
Two years are already the limit.Of course, if it weren't for the chaos caused by the Swallowing Heart Demon, Sanshan City's preparations would be more abundant.
But they can't accumulate any longer. Under the rampage of ferocious beasts, the city has entered a vicious cycle. And new ferocious beasts have appeared in Shubi Peak...
Time is not on Sanshan City's side.
Therefore, even though Zhuang Ting has not approved or allocated resources, the current city lord Dou Yuemei has still exhausted the treasury and launched the second clearance operation.
Many external aids have come to Sanshan City this time, including cultivators from nearby areas and even foreign experts.
For example, there is a woman covered in white gauze who is said to be a master from a mysterious sect in the country of Yunshang. She alone guards a defense line, and no one can approach within a radius of one mile.
The biggest barrier on Yuheng Peak is not its steep mountain terrain, but a group of killer rock bees that live at the foot of the mountain.
These ferocious beasts are small in size but numerous in quantity, and they have extremely strong attack power. They are almost ubiquitous and live in the rock caves scattered at the foot of Yuheng Peak, gathering and dispersing.
Sanshan City has tried to cover a large area with Taoist spells, but these killer rock bees are extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of Taoist elements. They often fly away during the formation of Taoist spells. Even if some of them are eliminated, it will only trigger the frenzy of the killer rock bees.
Countless killer rock bees gather and come, almost covering the sky and earth, and nothing can stop them.
Two years ago, Sun Heng did not choose Yuheng Peak as a breakthrough point, precisely because of this.
Dou Yuemei chose Yuheng Peak instead of Feilai Peak after two years of preparation, so she naturally wouldn't be unprepared.
The cultivator team of Sanshan City opened a gap, and Sun Xiaoyan was pushed out with a mournful face.
"Mother!" He cried out loud, "Do you really want your son to go to his death?"Dou Yuemei held Sun Xiaoman's hand, smiling at her son. "I'll help you catch your sister. When you come back successful, make her apologize to you properly! Don't be afraid, you won't die. Your father is protecting you!"
But my father died a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoyan became even more frightened. Tears almost burst out of his eyes, blurring his chubby face.
However, under his mother's gaze, he dared not move.
Although Dou Yuemei was known for her doting on her son since Sun Heng's death in battle, he knew that if Dou Yuemei made up her mind, he could not change anything.
Just like the last time he went to Fenglin City to participate in the Three City Debate, he knew he would be beaten on the way, but Dou Yuemei allowed it, so he could only go out with his sister in tears under the curious or mocking eyes of others.
It was in this situation that Jiang Wang and the others arrived at the foot of Yuheng Peak.
They met many acquaintances. Fenglin City was the closest city to the city domain, so it was not just the team led by Li Jianqiu that came over.
Jiang Wang even saw Fang Heling. After not seeing him for a while, he had become much thinner, but he had a bit more fierceness.
He had infiltrated the team of Shen Nanqi, who was fifth on the Fenglin City's Road Merit List, through some means.
Zhao Rucheng whispered to Jiang Wang, "The Fang family is now looking for evidence everywhere. They say they will go to the city lord to accuse you of deliberately leading Xiong Wen to the Fang family's territory, causing countless deaths and injuries."
This was obviously a joke. No matter how much Jiang Wang was involved, the reason Xiong Wen had infiltrated Fenglin City was because of Zhuyouwei's pursuit. If someone had to be responsible for Xiong Wen's killings along the way, only Zhuyouwei was qualified.
So, would the Fang family dare to trouble Zhuyouwei? The answer was obvious.
However, although there was no big problem, there were still small troubles.
At this point, Jiang Wang had already received the long sword promised by Sanshan City. This sword was engraved with a golden arrow, which was not the most ideal configuration for Jiang Wang. But the sword itself was strong enough to make Jiang Wang love it.
He was playing with the long sword carefully when he heard Zhao Rucheng's words. He just shrugged. "Why else would I come out to avoid it? I didn't expect to still not be able to avoid it."
Zhao Rucheng burst out laughing.
What surprised Jiang Wang was that Fang Heling didn't show any reaction to him this time. Even his gaze just swept past him, as if he didn't recognize him at all.
...
Sun Xiaoyan finally moved forward, making Dou Yuemei impatient.
This woman must have been extremely beautiful when she was young, and she still had a good figure now, but when her eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of ferocity could be seen.
"Little fatty, stop dawdling."Sun Xiaoyan drooped his eyebrows and finally understood that the situation could not be changed.
So he made up his mind, closed his eyes, and rushed straight towards the largest cave.
He raised his fist and smashed it onto the ground!
Buzzing...
A large group of killer rock bees swarmed out.
Countless stingers shot towards the intruder.
Sun Xiaoman felt her mother's hand tighten, almost breaking her fingers, and then let go in the next moment of realization.
But Sun Xiaoman didn't have time to cry out in pain because she was also watching her brother's situation.
Killer rock bees do not sting non-living things, and they will not easily shoot stingers at non-threatening creatures, so the bait can only be a cultivator.
However, who besides Sun Xiaoyan, who wore the Kun leather drum, could withstand the round of shooting from the killer rock peak?
That was the skin of a person who was cut alive from the Inner Palace Realm powerhouse Sun Heng, with inscriptions and inscriptions, and the effect of the Kun leather drum, the defense was even stronger than Sun Heng's life.
The dense stingers fell to the ground, and then what fell were large swaths of killer rock bees.
At that moment, the stingers fell like rain, and Sun Xiaoyan's fat figure stood in front of the rain.
The Kun leather drum held up!
But he cried out loudly, "It hurts! It hurts so much! I can't do it anymore!"
He turned around and ran back, wanting to return to a safe place and escape from the pain he could not bear.
But he was stopped by Dou Yuemei's shout, "Sun Xiaoyan, you are not allowed to move!"
Sun Xiaoyan was already in tears, but still stopped subconsciously. He cried out, "Mom! It really hurts! I can't stand it anymore, it hurts so much, let me go back!"
"You are not allowed to move!"
The Three Mountains City cultivators who were already prepared used various Taoist techniques, such as earth movement or wind sweeping, to pull the falling killer rock peaks closer and kill them together.
This was the plan of the Three Mountains City, using the son of the Three Mountains City Lord as bait to attract the attack of the killer rock peaks.
After the killer rock bees shot their stingers, there would be a period of weakness, so they fell to the ground one after another. Generally, they had the protection of the tribe at this time, but how could they tolerate the attack target in front of them howling and making noise?
So it was another round of stinger shooting.
Sun Xiaoyan cried out in pain, his fat trembling, but he was indeed a child who listened to his mother's words, and his feet did not move.
Dou Yuemei suppressed the tears in her eyes and calmly gave out instructions.
Although Sun Xiaoman usually bullied her brother, she couldn't bear to see her little brother suffer. She was about to rush out, but was pulled back by Dou Yuemei.
"Mom! Xiaopang is in so much pain!" Sun Xiaoman shouted."Otherwise, why do you think your father didn't give you the Kun Skin Drum? He loved you so much!" Dou Yue Mei's out-of-control emotions were instantly reined in, and she tried to speak calmly, "This is the plan your dead ghost father had in mind. Before his death, he had already figured out how to deal with the Killer Rock Bees."
Sun Xiao Man suddenly froze, and the large teardrops could no longer be held back, falling down pitter-patter.
She had once resented her father for his favoritism. He always claimed to love her the most, but before his death, he chose to bestow an eternal defense on her younger brother.
She had thought that her father must have loved her brother so much and favored him so much to peel off his skin for him.
But she never expected that she was the child her father favored the most.
This was her father's last love for her.
He couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer.
No one wanted to come to San Shan City, so he came here alone.
The people under his rule were disdainfully called mountain barbarians, and Sun Heng henceforth called himself Sun Barbarian.
What kind of hope was this man, who named his daughter Xiao Man, harboring?
