Chapter 822 The Tranquility Before the Storm Comes

The Fairy Fate Conference in Hanyue City is in full swing, and the people are vying to sign up, and almost no one wants to miss such an opportunity.

Especially for families with school-age children, they are desperate to enter Xianyuanfang, for fear that if they go too late, they will lose the opportunity to walk on the road of immortality.

Fortunately, the city guards have also begun to operate vigorously, and the number of people entering Xianyuanfang every day is limited.

If it is a person who has already tested the spiritual root, it will be recorded in the record, and they are not allowed to go on stage for the test again.

In fact, with the lessons learned from the previous group of people who wanted to get away with it, no one would dare to understand these small thoughts.

Even the onlookers no longer dared to make any noise, so as not to disturb the immortals on the stage.

The various shops in the city are also making a lot of money. Just today's customer flow is worth nearly a month in the past.

It's just that, outside of this bustling and lively appearance, there is still a huge crisis hidden.

City Lord's Mansion, inside Baihan Building.

Ye Lin was frowning and listening to his subordinate's report.

"City Lord, the coalition army is currently stationed 160 miles away from our side. The Jinlin Army, Beiguang Army, and Chen Mu Army are stationed in the south, the Liuyun Army and Xiyang Army are on the west side, and the Dongyang Army is on the east side. There seems to be no obstruction on the side of Changcheng , directly let the person come over..."

Under the stage, a soldier in armor was reporting the situation.

"Oh? Fengjun Wang didn't move? Just let the Dongyang army pass? This is a bit unexpected..."

Ye Lin rubbed the center of his eyebrows, looking very headache.

The current situation is unprecedentedly severe for Hanyue City.

Except for the northern end of the Tianyuan Mountain Range, the other three directions have been surrounded by troops from the imperial court.

Except for the newly established Liuyun Army, almost all of these troops are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and there are many veterans like the Jinlin Army among them.

On the other hand, the city guards, although well-trained on weekdays, occasionally participated in operations such as suppressing bandits.

But the nature of this army is doomed, they have never been on the battlefield, and have not participated in real battles.

Facing such menacing armies from all walks of life, Hanyue City is like a flat boat in a huge wave, which will be submerged in an instant.

Of course, this is the usual situation.

Now, the reason why Ye Lin still has the courage to resist the imperial court is entirely because of the immortal who appeared in the city recently, that is, Tian Yuanzong.

By seeking help from that senior sword fairy, he finally managed to get the answer he wanted.

At the beginning, when Ye Lin asked the immortal to help fight the war, the other party almost didn't even think about it, and flatly rejected his request.

According to Liu Ye's words, Tianyuanzong is a place for cultivating immortals outside the world, and will not participate in wars among mortals.

Fortunately, Ye Lin explained the situation to the other party in time, saying that this was also due to helplessness.

If they didn't resist, Emperor Xuanyang's army would kill all the people in Hanyue City, so the other side changed their attitude and began to hesitate.

Of course, Pei Laoliu would not believe what he said so easily, so he didn't immediately agree.

After all, the massacre of the city is just Ye Lin's guess after all.

He himself was a little unbelievable.

Would the monarch of a dynasty want to massacre the people of a whole city just because of the sentence "there is no way in the world"?
You must know that these are his own people, what kind of person can do such a crazy thing?

According to Pei Laoliu's world view, this is almost unimaginable.

However, as a modern person, although he has never experienced an era like the Dafu Dynasty, he has more or less been exposed to some historical novels and TV dramas.

In the ancient times of Huaxia Kingdom, situations like massacres did not happen before.

Therefore, according to Liu Ye, Tian Yuanzong will not participate in wars between mortals.

But if it was such an inhuman massacre, especially in Hanyue City, a city that maintains a friendly attitude with the sect, then he might have to intervene.

This is also the reason why Ye Lin has not given up completely until now.

He had personally experienced all the scenes that happened in the backyard of the city lord back then, and it can be said that his memory is still fresh.

With the help of Xianchang, he believed that he should be able to successfully guard the people in Hanyue City under the siege of the imperial court.

Otherwise, how could a small Hanyue city compete with such a huge Dafu Dynasty.

"The surrounding cities have already sent troops towards us. They have assembled and may launch an attack at almost any time... Zheng Chong, after you go back, mobilize more people and strengthen the investigation of the surrounding area. If there is any movement, you must report to me immediately. , don’t be negligent.”

Ye Lin gave instructions to the people in the audience.

"Yes!"

The soldier cupped his fists to accept the order, then turned and left.

Ye Lin raised his head, looked in the direction of the capital, and muttered to himself:

"Your Majesty... What on earth are you thinking... Why did you pay such a price to maintain your words... What are you afraid of...?"

……

Water Blue Star, reborn on the island.

Zhang Xiaoman was floating above Tianquan Island, holding a green bag in his hand.

This is the middlemost area located in Seven Star Lake, where the World Tree is located.

At his feet is a huge tree nearly 400 meters high.

It has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the branches that spread out almost cover the entire island, which shows its huge size.

Compared with the height of less than 200 meters when it first appeared, the World Tree has nearly doubled in height in the past six months, and now it looks as majestic and majestic as a hill from a distance.

All of these are naturally due to Zhang Xiaoman.

Through continuous upgrades, while improving the World Tree's functions, he is also constantly increasing its size.

Every addition of a new module will make it grow a certain height, and this is the current situation.

"Hey, if this situation continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before Tianquan Island won't be able to accommodate it..."

He looked at the big tree below with a distressed expression.

At that time, I am afraid that not only Tianquan Island, but also the entire Seven Star Lake, and even Rebirth Island may not be enough.

If you think about it in the longer term, it is estimated that the entire Water Blue Star will not be able to hold it.

Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen for the time being, after all, World Tree is still far away from that level.

However, if Zhang Xiaoman wants to continue to upgrade, it will inevitably increase the size of the world tree, which is also very helpless.

"Xing Xu, is there no way to restrain the growth of the World Tree?"

He looked at the star network terminal on his wrist.

A star sequence's reply came from the watch.

"I'm sorry, Star Master, the growth of the star network mainframe is an inevitable condition and cannot be restrained. As long as you strengthen it, its volume will also grow accordingly."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, this problem cannot be solved with his current strength, so he can only make plans later.

The big deal is to wait until the size of the world tree exceeds the critical value defined by him, then temporarily stop strengthening, and it will not be too late to continue after finding a suitable method.
