In the Heavens

Wang Family Ancestral House

The sudden shock of spiritual energy caused everyone who was busy counting the books to stop their work.

"Great uncle, is this someone breaking through the golden core?"

A young man in white looked at the sighing white-haired old man and asked with some uncertainty.

The Grandmaster of Jindan is a high-end power in the whole world. In the entire Liangzhou, there are only two warriors who are suspected of being golden elixir. Now there is a breakthrough in front of them, which is really unexpected.

"Um!"

The white-haired old man nodded in response.

It can be seen that the old man is not very interested. Seeing that his lifespan is about to expire, still staying in the innate realm, watching others break through the golden core, it is really hard for him to be happy.

However, in addition to resources, cultivation is more important than talent and opportunity.

Even among the children of the royal family, less than one-third of them can break through the innate, and even less than one-tenth of them can go further to break through the heavens and humans.

For a county house, the ratio is even lower. An existence like the old man who was born at the ninth level is already a high-ranking member of the clan.

Breaking through heaven and man is pure luck, and if you want to go up, it will be even more difficult. The cultivation resources of warriors above heaven and man are hard to come by, and most of them can only rely on their own hard work.

Most of the celestial warriors, until their lifespan is exhausted, will go round and round in the front several times.

Not everyone can comprehend the state beyond the level of cultivation like Li Mu, as long as there are enough energy stones, they can advance all the way.

Most warriors are climbing rocks, they can only climb up slowly step by step, if they are not careful, they will fall down and be smashed to pieces.

Looking at the direction where the spiritual energy gathered, and thinking of the previous experience in the Li Mansion and the extra troops in the city, everyone instantly understood what was going on.

It's just that what everyone can't figure out is: if such a major event as breaking through the golden elixir is not carried out in the old nest Dingyuan, why come to Hanchuan?

Is it purely for hiding?

If they want to hide it, will those insiders be silenced?

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and many people broke out in cold sweat.

...

As time passed by, the atmosphere in Li's residence became tense. Although he had experienced the joy of Li Mu's breakthrough, there was still an old ancestor working hard in the secret room.

In the past, as long as a Jindan warrior was born, it was a happy event for the whole family to celebrate, but now it is inevitable that Longwangshu will be lost.

Looking at the dignified Li Mu, Li Liang asked nervously: "Thirteenth brother, you have breakthrough experience. What's going on with the old ancestor? It's been almost two days. Why hasn't the vision ended yet?"

Spiritual consciousness glanced at the secret room, Li Mu sighed and said: "The vision will end soon.

The ancestors should have left hidden dangers from fighting with others when they were young. I didn't notice it in the past, but now it comes out to make trouble when it breaks through.

However, the ancestor's accumulation is deep enough, and now he has successfully condensed the golden core, which should be regarded as a successful breakthrough. It's just that if you forcefully break through the border like this, the road ahead will be difficult. "

Obviously, the two are only concerned about whether the breakthrough is successful. As for the road after Jin Dan, it is completely out of their consideration.

For most warriors, being able to break through the golden core is a stroke of luck, and they don't care about the road ahead.

Those who need to consider these issues are only masters like Li Mu who have broken through the golden core at a young age and are hopeful for the road to longevity.

Unexpectedly, the vision ended soon, and an aura of a golden elixir warrior came out. If it weren't for Li Mu's actions to stop him, many people in the mansion would have been crushed.

Obviously, the old ancestor who just broke through has not been able to control his aura well, and he cannot retract and release it as freely as Li Mu.

Looking in the direction of the imperial capital, Li Mu said solemnly: "Put the password down, and the news of my breakthrough will be hidden first.

The news of the ancestor's breakthrough should be decided after the ancestor is out of customs before deciding whether to block the news. "

With so many people in the city, it is logically difficult to block the news. But most ordinary people have limited knowledge and cannot tell the breakthrough vision of each realm at all.

If you really want to block the news, you only need to silence some of the children of the aristocratic families in the city. Anyway, they are all going to attack Hanchuan, and these are the objects to be cleaned.

As for how long it can be blocked, it can only be resigned to fate. Anyway, with so many witnesses, it is impossible to silence them all.

But with more ancestors as cover, the news of Li Mu's breakthrough can probably be blocked. It is almost impossible for two people to break through the golden core at the same time.

No one will believe it. Leaving aside the conflict of aura, the aura emanating from just breaking through the golden core will affect the other person's condensed core.

As long as the brain is not broken, everyone will stagger the time, so as not to interfere with each other and cause the breakthrough to fail.

...

Hanchuan County Sheriff's Mansion, dragged down by the deteriorating situation, Cao Sheriff, who failed the evaluation for several years in a row, failed to move smoothly after all.

If it wasn't for the timely action and the deteriorating situation in the world, no one would come to take over this mess, he, the sheriff, would have done it long ago.

It was not only the county guard who was unlucky, the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were also reprimanded by the court. If no miracle happened, their official career would basically come to an end.

There is no hope of official career, so the fighting spirit is naturally not high enough. It's just that it's different now, the enemy is approaching the city, and they can't even fool with mud.

Unlike previous discussions, this wave of high-level military officials gathered here. No matter which yamen it belongs to, everyone is now responsible for guarding the land.

"Lieutenant Zhu, how did you deploy your defense? No matter how useless it is, the rebels in the west city will not invade, and you won't even get a message back!"

Not only Cao Tiancheng, the county guard, was angry, but several other high-level officials in the county were also staring at Captain Zhu. If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid you will be taken down as a traitor immediately.

The rebel army in Xicheng County launched an attack on them, but the army stationed at the front line didn't even send back any news, and they were still aware of the news brought back by the spy of the Imperial City Division.

It's just that it was too late at this time, and the rebels were less than two hundred miles away from Hanchuan City. In three to five days at most, the rebels will be able to approach the city.

Asking the state government for help, the water far away can't quench the near thirst. There is also no way to gather enough troops before the opponent sieges the city by dispatching troops.

When something as big as this happens, someone has to take responsibility. If the county cannot be defended, then everyone will be loyal to the country together; if it is lucky to defend, then there must be someone who can stand up to the thunder.

"My lord, the person in charge of the defense of Xicheng County has always been..."

When the words came to his lips, Xiaowei Zhu swallowed them back. There is no way, the three Li Mu brothers have resigned half a month ago.

It is impossible to justify retiring officials to take responsibility for the omissions in the current defense line.

It was his county lieutenant's responsibility for not adjusting the line of defense in time, and throwing the blame would only make him die faster.

The faces of the people became more and more gloomy. If they didn't know that Commander Zhu was put together, they wouldn't be able to get along in the officialdom.

The conflict between Zhu Junwei and Li Mu's three brothers is almost well known in the county. It doesn't matter if they want to cheat Junjun Zhu, the point is that everyone has been dragged into the water now.

In case the army breaks through the city, everyone present will not escape the fate of death.

The Celestial Warrior of the Imperial City Department said indifferently: "I don't care what grievances there are between you, in short, Hanchuan City must be defended.

Don't talk about these useless things now, come up with a plan for defending the city first!

Governor Cao, please order the city gates to be sealed immediately. Strictly investigate the spies of Wenxiangjiao in the city, and don't give them the opportunity to cooperate with others. "

Strict investigation of spies is just a trick, and it is difficult to achieve results in such a short period of time. The real purpose of blocking the city gate now is to prevent the aristocratic families in the city from running away.

As more and more cities fell, the confidence of the local clans in the Great Zhou became less and less. At a critical moment, the first thing everyone thinks of is to preserve their strength, and there are countless people who have abandoned the city and fled.

These people can escape, but officials from the DPRK and China cannot. In order to save their own lives, now they don't care about offending these local snakes by closing the city.

Without waiting for the slightest hesitation, Cao Tiancheng immediately ordered: "Okay! Juncheng Cui, you will be responsible for the closure of the city.

The Imperial City Division and the Zhenmagic Division are in charge of supervision, and anyone who dares to bend the law for personal gain will be killed without mercy! "

Hearing this result, Zhu Junwei on the side was ashamed. It was supposed to be the work that he, the county lieutenant, presided over, but he was directly deprived of it.

Obviously, these colleagues were not prepared to give him a hand. Now he is not even willing to give him the chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

The reason is very realistic. At this juncture, only the three Li Mu brothers are capable of sending troops to rescue Hanchuan City.

Although he resigned from office, it is illegal to continue to lead troops in Hanchuan. But at critical moments, there is still "doing things according to expediency", which can be modified.

The premise of all this is "voluntary". If people are not willing to take risks, no one can force it.

After all, this kind of thing is also risky. The credit for a successful rescue is limited, and if you lose a battle, you still have to bear the responsibility.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have long passed the era of bowing to the best and dying. Few Tiehanhan are willing to do such an obviously thankless task.

How to lure the three Li Mu brothers over is already a top priority for everyone. If there is another Zhu Junwei who is an eyesore, it will only make things more difficult.
