(Thank you, Yu Xiaoyao, for the 1,000 yuan tip. Thank you.)
The scholars of Sky-sea Pavilion were probably the most difficult people to get along with in the world. They were extremely arrogant and mischievous. Most of the time, they didn't even bother to speak sarcastically. They only needed to glance at you to release all the contempt in their hearts.
Although the real Sky-sea Pavilion was in a certain underground city, the public Sky-sea Pavilion was also very important. These scholars and grand scholars were all valuable people of Sky-sea Pavilion because most of the theoretical knowledge was dug out by their research.
In order to express their contempt for Shen Lang, the group of scholars and grand scholars collectively went to the roof of the library to watch the fireworks. They watched Shen Lang's various cannons explode in the air a few hundred meters away.
To put it simply, I like it when you can't stand me but can't do anything about it.
On the other hand, the female scholar Zhang Yuyin had been invited many times. The first two times, she had also excitedly gone to watch, because it was indeed very beautiful. Moreover, if she didn't go to watch, it was very likely that she would be labeled as sympathizing with Shen Lang.
Tonight, many scholars climbed to the roof to watch Shen Lang's cannons. However, Zhang Yuyin didn't go because most of the scholars and grand scholars didn't go.
At this time, there were dozens of scholars standing on the roof of Sky-sea Pavilion's library. A few kilometers away stood thousands of Shen Lang's army and tens of thousands of people of the State of Yue. The scholars of Sky-sea Pavilion turned a blind eye to these people. In their eyes, the countless people were like worker ants. They were a group, but they didn't have any value in existence.
After waiting for a full half an hour, Shen Lang's army still hadn't fired the cannons.
"Let's go, let's go. There's no more tonight."
"Raging Tide City has been destroyed. The so-called Da Qian Dynasty has also been destroyed. We will never see Shen Lang's cannons again."
"What a pity, what a pity …"
The group of scholars of Sky-sea Pavilion was about to leave the roof to go back to rest. However, it was also at this time that a bright light came from the dark night sky in the east like a meteor.
"Whoosh …"
Because this energy core's flying speed was not as fast as the Dragon's Regret, it relied on friction to generate heat and could not emit light. However, in order to achieve a stunning effect, Shen Lang smeared a layer of something on the surface to create the effect of a meteor. This was more like a destructive killing intent, wasn't it?
"What, what is that? What is that? "The scholars from Sky-sea Pavilion exclaimed, their hair standing on end.
All of their previous contempt and carefree mood had disappeared. They weren't ignorant people, and they instinctively knew that it was extremely dangerous. Moreover, it was launched from the sea dozens of miles away.
Shen Lang actually had such a terrifying weapon? Then, wouldn't Princess Ning Han's fleet be in danger?
"Quick, go down, go down …"
"Activate all defenses!"
The group of scholars frantically ran away in panic, wanting to rush to the basement.
"Dang dang dang dang …" For the first time, the entire Sky-sea Pavilion rang the bell of an enemy attack. The gatekeeper stopped dozing and rang the bell with all his might. The old man sweeping the floor also ran for his life.
However, they were all too late. The scholars working on the first floor of the Great Library ran for their lives after hearing the bell and rushed to the basement. The fastest was Zhang Yuyin. She had already rushed to the basement as fast as she could when she heard the whistling sound of the energy core coming from outside.
You little gigolo Shen Lang, I'm your lover after all, yet you didn't even give me a warning beforehand. In a short span of 20 seconds, she ran hundreds of meters underground and hid in the sturdiest underground fortress.
Then, there was a loud noise. Even the fortress, which was hundreds of meters underground, shook violently.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
The scholars who had been enjoying the scenery on the roof were directly vaporized.
The old man sweeping the floor had been rushing to the basement with all his might, but he stopped when the big explosion occurred. He wanted to pick up the broom and be the last sweeping monk, but before he could bend over, the terrible flames and shockwaves instantly tore him apart.
As for the old man guarding the door, when the energy core smashed onto the ground, the violent vibration sent him flying.
After all, he was a gatekeeper, and his martial arts were very good. His whole body floated up like a willow catkin, and then he used his powerful Qinggong to run outside. Ever since he came to Sky-sea Pavilion, he had never gone out, but this time, he directly floated out of the door.
However, even if he escaped out of the door, it was completely useless. His whole body was like a paper kite, violently shattered in the air, and then burned.
The Sky-sea Pavilion building complex, which spanned hundreds of acres, was completely reduced to ruins, and almost all the thousands of people inside died tragically.
… …
And the countless people watching the battle outside, whether it was Shen Lang's army, Tiannan Province officials, or tens of thousands of people, were completely stunned!
They were completely and utterly shocked!
When the big explosion occurred, the entire night sky was completely illuminated. In an instant, it was as bright as day, and then the entire ground began to shake violently.
All of a sudden, they lost all ability to react, because they could not believe that there was such a weapon in the world.
After a long while, the explosion's shockwaves swept across thousands of meters.
The power of the big explosion was too great. Even from thousands of meters away, the shockwaves were still fierce. Although it could not hurt people, it still blew people to the ground, and the scorching air directly licked their faces.
Tens of thousands of people watching the battle were blown to the ground, and then they did not get up. They directly knelt on the ground, and excitedly shouted, "Long live His Majesty Shen Lang, long live, long live."
"Long live the Da Qian Empire, long live, long live!"
It was really shocking. They knew that His Majesty Shen Lang would have a unique skill, but they did not expect it to be so terrifying.
My Majesty Shen Lang has such a destructive weapon, what is there to worry about in the next battle, hahahaha!
My Majesty Shen Lang is invincible, and the Da Qian Empire is invincible.
Tens of thousands of people went crazy, and desperately shouted, like a tsunami.
… …
At daybreak, Shen Lang landed in the ruins of Sky-sea Pavilion. A dozen special warriors in ancient armor rushed into the ruins with hundreds of Amazon warriors in Blood Soul Armor. Of course, in order to distinguish them, these armors were painted new, so that others would not think that they were Sky-sea Pavilion's army.
The explosion was really thorough, and almost all the buildings were in ruins. There were broken walls everywhere.
Shen Lang could not help but recall that he had come here to borrow books as if he was on a pilgrimage, and he had a good relationship with some of the people here.
"Search the ruins thoroughly. There is at least one ancient energy core and many ancient energy devices."
"Also, search for possible survivors."
Under the protection of a dozen people, Shen Lang also used his X-ray eyes to participate in the search, and the result was a lot.
Sure enough, there were two ancient energy cores, one big and one small. The big one was more than three meters in diameter, and the small one was about two meters in diameter. They were buried deep underground, and even such a shocking explosion did not damage their outer shells. It only paralyzed the control center, and the entire energy core was still intact, and there was no danger of leakage or rupture.
"Your Majesty, we found survivors."
Soon, a dozen warriors brought Shen Lang to the front of an underground tunnel. Due to the explosion, the entire underground tunnel had collapsed. It was the Amazon warriors who had used force to clear it.
Also, the door of the underground secret room at the end of the tunnel could not be opened, because it had been hit by a huge rock, and was somewhat deformed.
Princess Dora went forward, took out the Ancient Nightmare Stone sword, and slowly stabbed it into the thick iron door.
And the Nightmare Stone sword was really awesome. Through the Nightmare Stone, it released a shocking high temperature, and wherever the blade passed, the iron door was easily cut open.
"Bang!" With a fierce kick, a round hole with a diameter of one meter appeared in the iron door.
Looking inside, there were dozens of Sky-sea Pavilion scholars and Grand Scholars hiding inside.
"Come out." Shen Lang said, "Zhang Yuyin, are you there?"
"Yes." A trembling and shrewish voice came from inside.
Then, the dozens of Sky-sea Pavilion Grand Scholars walked out shakily.
"Shen Lang, you will be punished by the heavens. The Sky-sea Pavilion is the palace of knowledge in the entire world. How many ancient books and precious books were there, and they were all destroyed by you? And every building here has more than a few hundred years of history, and now they are all destroyed by you. You will get your retribution early … "
Before this old scholar could finish, he was directly cut in half. It was not Shen Lang who did it, but Hila who was beside him.
Shen Lang asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to scold me next?"
Everyone was silent.
"Take them all and bring them back to the Raging Tide City," Shen Lang ordered.
"Start searching the entire ruins. The ancient books are a special kind of crystal that is indestructible. They were not destroyed even in the Great Nirvana of the ancient times. They can still withstand such an explosion. Find them all and bring them back to the Raging Tide City."
"Yes!"
Zhang Yuyin, the female scholar, walked out, looking a little dirty. The moment she saw Shen Lang, she even instinctively ran her fingers through her hair. Her age was really a mystery. She was so young six or seven years ago, but she was still the same now.
Shen Lang did not ask her to surrender. He just nodded and walked away.
At this time, the tens of thousands of people outside were still shouting.
"Long live His Majesty Shen Lang!"
"Long live the Da Qian Empire!"
The cheers were like a tsunami, getting louder and louder.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to meet them?" Xue Yin asked.
"It's better not to meet them," Shen Lang said. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."
From beginning to end, Shen Lang did not appear in front of the countless people. He only stayed for about a day before returning to the fleet and returning to the Raging Tide City with his spoils of war.
Of course, the ruins of the Sky-sea Pavilion were very big, and there were many ancient books and even ancient devices that had not been excavated. This was left to the army to clean up.
But even when Shen Lang left, the tens of thousands of people still shouted tirelessly, "Long live His Majesty."
Although Shen Lang did not come out to meet them, the image of Shen Lang in the hearts of countless people became even more mysterious and lofty.
His Majesty Shen Lang was really awesome. Six or seven years ago, he often stood up and scolded them. Now, after doing such a big thing, he directly turned around and left. This was the true heroic bearing of an emperor.
There was no justice in this world. Some people were right no matter what they did, and some people were wrong no matter what they did.
… …
After returning to the Raging Tide City, these dozens of scholars were all locked up in the prison. Shen Lang did not even summon them to surrender, nor did he have any intention of talking to them.
But he still summoned the female scholar Zhang Yuyin. This woman had helped Shen Lang several times and even saved Marquis Jin Zhuo's life.
"Enough, you don't have to say anymore. I surrender …" Before Shen Lang could say anything, Zhang Yuyin had already raised her hands.
Huh? Madam Zhang Yuyin, isn't your willpower too weak? It's not like I can torture you. I won't even give you an injection.
Zhang Yuyin had bathed and changed her clothes. Even her hair had been permed. She looked radiant.
"Actually, after your identity was exposed, my days in the Sky-sea Pavilion were already very difficult." Zhang Yuyin said, "I was subjected to dozens of secret investigations and was interrogated by the warlocks of the Sky-sea Pavilion with drugs. Fortunately, I did not have any affair with you. Otherwise, my body would have been rotten. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Zhu Hongxue. I was his teacher for a year, and he spoke up to protect me."
Shen Lang said, "But I heard that you are unparalleled in the Sky-sea Pavilion."
Zhang Yuyin said, "The library of the Sky-sea Pavilion is different from the Sky-sea Pavilion. We only do theoretical research. We look noble, but in fact, we have no power at all. Our fate is in the hands of others."
Shen Lang asked, "You really surrender?"
Zhang Yuyin said, "Of course. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."
Then, she was about to lift her skirt.
Shen Lang was stunned. You, you and Zhang Chunhua are relatives, right? Both of them are so wild?
"Why? The Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looks down on women like us. I am only 29 years old this year. "Zhang Yuyin said.
Shen Lang was stunned. If he remembered correctly, she said she was 29 years old six or seven years ago?
"Okay, I know what you really want." Zhang Yuyin said, "You also know that we do basic theoretical research. So the entire library is filled with books on basic theories and some martial arts manuals. Sigh, now you know how worthless those martial arts manuals are? The first Sword King, Qiu Ju, spent more than ten years to decipher the Meteor Sword Technique. He regarded it as a treasure and left the Sky-sea Pavilion to become the Sword King. He became a legend in the outside world, but in the Sky-sea Pavilion, he is nothing. "
A few years ago, Shen Lang couldn't feel it. Now, he really understood. Martial arts manuals were really nothing in the Sky-sea Pavilion.
"That's why we don't even know about the core secrets and technologies of Sky-sea Pavilion. Think about it and you'll understand. What are the things that are publicly displayed?" Zhang Yuyin said.
Of course, Shen Lang knew. Just like Einstein's theory of relativity and Newton's three laws could be found in any library. But there was absolutely no research progress related to nuclear fusion power stations or the miniaturization of nuclear bombs.
"The Sky-sea Pavilion has three core departments, the Life Research Department, the Ancient Energy Research Department, and the Geological Exploration Department."
"They all sound very high-end and full of academic aura, but it will never tell you that the first department uses countless living people for research and even mass-produces certain monsters."
"The second Ancient Energy Research Department is to create and research ancient weapons and equipment. The third is the Geological Exploration Department, which specializes in exploring ancient ruins and destroying enemies. The Blood Soul Army, which slaughtered millions of people in the Western Region, belongs to the Geological Exploration Department. "
Zhang Yuyin continued, "Also, what you want to know most now is where the real Sky-sea Pavilion is. This is the top secret of the top secrets, not something a small person like me can know. Even in the Great Library, no one knows. Of course, I have been to the real Sky-sea Pavilion. I was caught there for investigation, but all the relevant memories were destroyed and I lost all consciousness when I was caught. But I will write down all the details and give them to you. "
Shen Lang was stunned. Why didn't she just say it? Why write it down?
Zhang Yuyin said, "I don't feel it verbally, and these details are more mysterious. By the way, Ning Han's fleet … was completely destroyed? "
Shen Lang nodded. "Yes."
Zhang Yuyin was stunned and said, "Now, I have no psychological barriers to surrender."
Shen Lang said, "Then have a good rest. Goodbye."
Zhang Yuyin said from behind, "Shen Lang, remember to look for me if you want to have an affair. I am 29 years old this year."
Shen Lang walked to the door and immediately saw Zhang Chunhua, who had a furious look on her face. She had originally come to visit Zhang Yuyin, but now, she walked up to the door and closed it. Her eyes darted around quickly, trying to think of a way to prevent Shen Lang and Zhang Yuyin from interacting in private.
In the entire Fury Tide City, I, Zhang Chunhua, am enough to be a shameless fox. You want to be like me? I will ban you!
After Shen Lang left, Zhang Yuyin closed her eyes to search for that feeling. When she was caught and interrogated in the Sky-sea Pavilion underground city, she hoped to catch some kind of inspiration and make a breakthrough.
… …
In the Sky-sea Pavilion underground city!
Pavilion Master Zuoci was closing his eyes to sense and analyze an ancient secret scroll, but it was taking shape bit by bit under his pen.
He was drawing a map, and it was a very mysterious kind of map. Almost no one could understand it. His maps were not just superficial topographic maps, but very detailed data coordinates. They were not written in ordinary words. Even if anyone saw them, it would be like a heavenly book.
Ten thousand miles of desert, ten thousand miles of desert!
Previously, he had two choices. One was the ten thousand miles of desert, and the other was the Devil's Triangle. However, the Devil's Triangle had been carefully explored. It was very shocking, but there was not much room for the Sky-sea Pavilion to explore.
The world was facing great changes, and the first to break out of it was the White Jade Capital. For hundreds of thousands of years, it had achieved supreme transcendence, leaving other forces in the dust.
Now that Stupa Mountain was also on the road to rise, the Sky-sea Pavilion was in danger.
Next, the Sky-sea Pavilion would use a hundred years to break out of the shackles of the world order. It would be high and mighty, overlooking the world.
"Master, Zhu Hongxue is here," someone outside said.
Pavilion Master Zuoci put away the ancient scroll and the heavenly book map, and began to make tea.
Zhu Hongxue walked in and knelt down. "Greetings, Master."
Pavilion Master Zuo Ci said, "You've been my disciple for dozens of years. I'll cut to the chase. You're Jiang Li's descendant, you were created by Jiang Li, you're not Zhu Rong's biological son."
Zhu Hongxue's face trembled, but he did not say anything.
Pavilion Master Zuoci said, "It is good that you are a person with a sense of honor, but it is also because of this that you should not fall into narrow thinking. You should have loftier ideals. The Sky-sea Pavilion's hundred-year plan is about to begin, and you are still obsessed with the so-called bloodline? I don't care that you are a remnant of Jiang Li. Why do you care? "
Zhu Hongxue's beard had grown a few inches, and his eyes were sunken. He still had no answer to Zuoci's question.
"Shen Lang is Jiang Li's son. Do you still want to be loyal to him?" Zuoci asked.
Zhu Hongxue was stunned, and then he shook his head.
Zuo Ci said, "Even if you want to pledge your loyalty to him, there's no way. Ning Han's Destruction Fleet has already gone to attack the Raging Tide City. He and his Great Gan Dynasty are finished, they've been completely annihilated. This page has been turned over, and our next focus is on the Western Region. We've already invested an astronomical amount of power into the Great Desert. Pull yourself together. They still need you there. Do you understand? "
Zhu Hongxue was still depressed.
Zuo Ci stepped forward and used his palm to lightly slap Zhu Hongxue. He angrily said, "Wake up! Shen Lang is already dead. The Great Qian Dynasty has been destroyed. Jiang Li's last possession in this world has also been annihilated. As a survivor, you should rejoice and have higher aspirations."
Then, he took a cup of tea and fed it to Zhu Hongxue.
"Go, shave your beard and hair. Where is your temperament as the most handsome man?" Zuoci patted Zhu Hongxue's chin and then pushed him out.
Then, Zuoci shook his head and sighed. "Shen Lang, you have delayed so many things for me. The world will be much more peaceful after you are gone."
At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside. He didn't even knock on the door.
"Uncle …" A pale-faced young man walked in.
"What's wrong? Did Ning Han kick you out for causing trouble? I told you not to provoke her. She will never marry, "Zuoci said.
This person was Zuoci, Zuoci's nephew. He was the supervisor of Ning Han's destructive fleet. His presence was usually very weak, but he had great power in private. He could monitor anyone and report directly to Zuoci.
However, he didn't show his face during the entire process. He wore a special ancient armor and seemed very low-key.
"Uncle, we lost. The entire fleet was destroyed," Zuoci said.
As soon as he said this, Pavilion Master Zuoci's body trembled. The teapot in his hand turned into ashes, and even the tea inside boiled into steam.
Lost? How was this possible?
This battle was like a lion killing a rabbit. It was a thunderous victory. How could they lose?
This destructive fleet was powerful enough to destroy Shen Lang ten times, or even a hundred times. How could they lose?
Zuoci had experienced many things in his life, but he had never been as shocked as he was today.
The last time he was this shocked was when he heard about Jiang Li's sudden death.
Both times, it sounded so absurd.
"Zuoci, Shen Lang used a strategic weapon of mass destruction. It was fired from two to three hundred kilometers away. Just one shot destroyed our invincible fleet."
"I … I can't describe how terrifying that weapon was. The light from its explosion was countless times brighter than the sun. Everything in the center of the explosion seemed to have evaporated."
"Our fleet, which spanned dozens of kilometers, was destroyed in an instant. Even the fleet at the outermost edge was blown away by the terrifying storm. The surface of our ancient warship was melted and twisted. "
"Uncle, I have never dreamed of this scene, but I will never forget it for the rest of my life."
Pavilion Master Zuoci closed his eyes in pain. He wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but realized that the teapot was gone.
"Remorse of the Dragon, Remorse of the Dragon …" Pavilion Master Zuoci said, "How did he get the ancient strategic weapon Remorse of the Dragon? Why does he have the authority? How many people have exhausted their entire lives and spent countless lives, yet they still could not activate Regret of the Dragon. "
Zuoci said in a trembling voice, "Uncle, what should we do next? I think that Shen Lang only has one such destructive weapon. There won't be a second one. "
At this moment, a person rushed in from the outside. However, he did not rush into the room. Instead, he said in a trembling voice, "Master, Shen Lang has launched a terrifying killing weapon from dozens of miles away. He has razed our Sky-sea Pavilion complex in Tiannan Province to the ground."
Instantly, Pavilion Master Zuoci's face twitched again.
Then, he took out a letter of credence from Shen Lang and read it again. "Any army that enters the territory of the Da Qian Dynasty will be destroyed and completely wiped from this world. Do not say that I did not warn you."
Previously, he had said that the credence was too innocent and exaggerated. It was a complete joke. But now, it had become a heavy truth. It was as if every word weighed a thousand kilograms.
"Pavilion Master? What should we do? What should we do? "
"Pavilion Master, we still have an army. We still have a secret army and powerful ancient equipment. We still have many Grandmasters. Let's send our troops to destroy the Fury Tide City and tear Shen Lang into pieces."
"Yes, we still have an army in the underground city and many powerful equipment. We still have an army in the West Region and the strongest Martial Arts army in the Great Desert. Let's send all of them over to destroy Shen Lang!"
Pavilion Master Zuoci closed his eyes. He had never felt such pain in his life.
His entire heart seemed to be surging, and all the blood in his body seemed to be about to burst out of his blood vessels.
He was the master of the Sky-sea Pavilion, one of the six supreme leaders. How could he suffer such a crushing defeat? How could he be so humiliated?
The entire destruction fleet was destroyed. Even the Sky-sea Pavilion on the surface was completely wiped out.
At this moment, I, Zuoci, should be vomiting blood.
"Phew …" Pavilion Master Zuoci let out a long sigh. Then, he kept the imperial edict from Shen Lang and walked out.
"Prepare the snow sculptures."
"Yes, Master. Where are you going? Yan Capital? "
Pavilion Master Zuoci said, "No, I'm going to meet Shen Lang!"
… …
Note: I had too much sleep last night. I relied on coffee and strong tea to stay awake. Brothers, do you still have monthly tickets? Give them to me!
I recommend "Master of Secrets". The protagonist is a witch principal.
