361 Chapter 361 the Shiyan fortress
Qin shujian’s original actions paused for a moment when he looked at his attribute panel.
His luck value had already increased by ten points on top of his original foundation.
When he saw this.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
His luck had increased.
This meant that some demons had been killed by the disciples of the sect.
This was a good thing for Qin shujian.
Originally, the fate value only had the function of upgrading a Dao weapon. Now, it had a conversion function. Ten points of fate value were equivalent to one million points of life value.
Ten demons would be equivalent to ten million points of life value.
100 of them would be 100 million.
1,000 of them would be a billion.
Just the North cloud Prefecture alone already had close to a hundred sinister Devils in the mortal domain. This meant that the other prefectures would definitely have many as well.
Perhaps 1,000 wouldn’t be able to do it.
However, it should still be possible to kill a few hundred.
This way …
Without upgrading his Dao weapon, his life value would increase by at least a few hundred million.
So many life value points.
It would be enough for him to enter the divine martial realm.
Qin shujian suppressed the thoughts in his heart and looked at the fortress in front of him that was comparable to a small city. There were quite a number of guards on guard inside. The main gate of the fortress was also tightly sealed, and it looked like it was heavily guarded.
When Qin shujian got close …
Someone on the city wall immediately shouted, ” no one is allowed to approach the fortress without a written order. Anyone who violates this will be killed!
The words fell.
The guards on the city wall had already drawn their bows and aimed their arrows at Qin shujian.
A cold glint could be seen on the black arrowhead.
It proved that these arrows were not ordinary arrows. They were specially made by the Imperial court and were powerful enough to break through the protective energy of physical invulnerability cultivators.
However …
Even though hundreds of arrows were aimed at him, Qin shujian was still calm and composed. He said in a clear voice, ” I am Qin shujian from Yuan sect. I have Marquis northcloud’s decree in my hands. Please open the fortress.
As he spoke, he took out the token and used his true essence to throw it at the fortress wall.
Instantly.
A general on the fortress wall reached out and took the token.
When it touched his hand, it did not produce any impact at all.
This caused him to pause in his actions of raising his true Yuan to take the token by force.
As for the other party’s name, it also made his expression quite serious.
Yuan sect!
Qin shujian!
This name was considered famous in the current North cloud Prefecture.
However, Qin shujian was the domain lord of the spirit domain and a Grandmaster in the art of array formations. He was truly famous.
In comparison.
The name of sky origin sect had only spread because of him.
Soon after.
The general took the token in his hand and looked through it carefully. Then, he said to the people beside him, “”Open the door!”
Finished speaking.
He had already turned around and left the city.
Below.
Qin shujian continued to stand there and wait.
Soon, the main gate of the stronghold slowly opened, and the general who was originally on the city wall walked out. He looked at Qin shujian and cupped his hands. “I’m the commander of the Shiyan fortress, Qi Zi ‘an. I was just carrying out my official duties. I hope sect master Qin doesn’t take offense.”
As he spoke, he returned the token with both hands.
Putting aside the other party’s reputation.
Since he had Marquis North cloud’s token, his identity could also represent Marquis North cloud’s presence to a certain extent.
Under such circumstances.
Qi Zi ‘an didn’t dare to be impolite.
Qin shujian took the token and said, “”I’ve come to kill the demons under the orders of the Marquis!”
“Kill the demons!”
Hearing this, Qi Zi ‘an’s heart trembled, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Kill the demons!
This was something he had never thought of.
It was true that the stronghold was suppressing demons, but Qin shujian had come under Marquis northcloud’s orders. Whatever he had done was also largely related to demons.
However-
Qi Zi ‘an did not even think that the other party was here to kill the demons.
He even thought …
The other party was ordered to reinforce the seal.
After all, no matter what, Qin shujian was still a famous Grandmaster in the field of array formations.
In addition, during this period of time.
The seal on the sinister devil was showing signs of instability.
It was normal for the other party to come and reinforce the seal at this time.
However …
After a brief moment of shock, Qi Zi ‘an’s face was filled with joy. He said, “”Sect leader Qin, please follow me in!”
After he finished speaking, he moved sideways.
He then led Qin shujian into the fortress.
Qin shujian followed Qi Zi ‘an and stepped into the fortress. He then realized that the layout of the fortress was extremely simple. It was not as messy and gaudy as other cities.
Other than the necessary accommodation.
There were no extra buildings.
Along the way, they met many soldiers.
When the soldiers saw Qi Zi ‘an, they all stopped and saluted him before leaving.
Walking in the fortress.
Qi Zi ‘an tilted his head. this fortress has been built for more than 800 years. Every few years, there will be a rotation of soldiers to guard the altar that seals the evil spirits inside the fortress. This is to prevent the evil spirits from breaking out of the seal.
Qin shujian was at the side.
They just kept silent and listened.
After the other party finished speaking, he then said, ” the beast tide that occurred in North cloud Prefecture a while ago, did the fortress get affected? ”
Hearing this, Qi Zi ‘an seemed to be more interested in talking. He continued, ” a while ago, the beast tide had also attacked the fort. However, they were all blocked by the Army and did not cause much impact.
At this point.
of course! Qi Zi ‘an looked proud. although the strength of the Shiyan fortress is not very strong, it is not something that can be broken by a mere beast tide.
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian nodded his head in agreement.
The fortress was built to suppress the existence of the demons.
A place like this naturally couldn’t be easily broken into.
Otherwise …
The seal on this sinister devil was too fragile.
From the moment he had stepped into the Shiyan fortress, Qin shujian had discovered that there were more than a dozen strong auras hidden within. Every aura in the true Dominion had reached the limits of the true Dominion.
Not to mention the large number of soldiers.
Although the spiritual God was suppressed by the true Dominion’s shackles, its perception was still much stronger than the others.
When Qin shujian’s perception swept over …
He knew that the number of troops guarding the Shiyan fortress was definitely not less than tens of thousands.
And this Army of tens of thousands.
It was not an ordinary Army, but an elite one.
This was because the soldiers he had encountered since he entered were not weak. At the very least, they had all reached the peak of their vitality.
Martial entry-level six!
Only then could one’s qi and blood be at its peak.
Only the elites in the military could achieve martial entry-level six.
Back then, when she followed Yan caizhe and the rest to battle.
Most of the soldiers were around martial entry-level two or three.
Compared to the soldiers in the fortress, they were like heaven and earth.
However, regarding this.
Qin shujian could understand this.
After all, the fortress was much smaller than a normal city and could not accommodate too many defenders.
Under such circumstances.
The quality of soldiers was the most important, not the quantity.
Even Qi Zi ‘an, who was beside him, was slightly surprised when his spiritual eye flashed.
Fifth level of the spiritual realm!
An airborne realm cultivator!
Anyone who had reached the airborne realm would be considered an expert no matter where they were. However, they were now in the true Dominion fortress, guarding the seal of the sinister Devils.
It could be seen from this.
The Imperial court attached great importance to this matter.
However, despite his shock, Qin shujian furrowed his brows slightly and said, ” why do I sense some demonic Qi in the spiritual Qi? did something happen to the altar that sealed the evil spirit? ”
“Sect leader Qin’s methods are indeed shocking. You can even detect this.”
Qi Zi ‘an’s face was full of admiration at first, but then his expression turned ugly and he said in a deep voice.
“Three years ago, there was already a problem with the sealed altar. There was a faint demonic Qi overflowing from it. At that time, many soldiers near the altar were infected by the demonic Qi because of this, and they became part of the demon disaster.
However, this change was quickly suppressed, and all the demonized soldiers were killed.
It’s just that the person who set up the sealing altar was a Grandmaster. Now that the seal has a problem, only a Grandmaster can solve it. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin shujian, shook his head, and sighed.
sect master Qin should also know that there was no array Grandmaster in the North cloud Manor. As for why the Imperial court did not send any grandmasters, I’m not too sure either.
“Fortunately, sect leader Qin is here.”
“Although it’s not to strengthen the seal, as long as we can kill this demon, we will be able to solve the crisis of the Shiyan fortress.”
at the same time, these soldiers who have been guarding the fortress for many years and have never left can finally be considered to have completed their mission.
To the soldiers in the Army.
What they wanted was to go into battle and kill the enemy, not to defend a place for several years without even being able to move.
If not for the military Order.
There were already people who couldn’t bear such desolation.
Qin shujian agreed with Qi Zi ‘an and the others’ thoughts. However, what really caught his attention was the problem of the seal’s flaws.
as long as the seal of a Grandmaster of array Dao doesn’t suffer from great damage, such a problem won’t appear even after thousands of years. Could it be that someone has destroyed the sealing altar? ”
“No, I didn’t,” Qi Zi ‘an shook his head. other than our own people, no one else has ever entered the fortress. The sealing altar is heavily guarded. No one else can enter.
moreover, destroying the sealing altar would cause quite a commotion. It’s impossible for us to not notice it.
“But in fact,”
the sealing altar indeed had a problem on its own, which caused the demonic Qi to overflow. For this reason, the hundreds of elite soldiers around the sealing altar became part of the demonic disaster.
Qi Zi ‘an had only briefly mentioned the demon disaster.
Obviously.
He didn’t want to mention this matter anymore.
After all, hundreds of elites were no small loss.
Soon after.
“Sect leader Qin, you’ve come from afar. Why don’t you rest in the stronghold for a night?” he asked.
“No need. Take me to the sealing altar to take a look,”
