Chapter 163: Get a guarantee with the city owner
"This? If I can only stay for three to five days, can I still leave even if the formation is not repaired?" Su Xiaoxiao must be sure.
"Okay." In the end, the city lord agreed. Now the superiors have issued death orders to each of their cities. Each city must find an array master to send them there.
Until now, he has not found an array mage. Moreover, they will also check whether the person sent is really an array mage. If any city lord is fooled, it is estimated that the city lord's position will be over.
These two days are already the deadline, and he has no time to look for the formation master elsewhere.
So after listening to Su Xiaoxiao's words, he hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. Anyway, if he handed it over, his mission would be completed.
Su Xiaoxiao was very doubtful about the protection of the city lord, but there was not much she could do. Who made her want to earn this money? Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones was not a small amount, it was enough for an ordinary sect for a year. Spending.
"Then I want you to pay me half of the fee first. I don't want to end up without even this promise." Since verbal promises were unreliable, Su Xiaoxiao decided to ask for half of the spiritual stones first, so that she would feel at ease.
"Okay, but I don't have so many spirit stones on hand now, and the pressure from above is quite tight. You and I will gather at the place where the formation needs to be repaired first. I will ask my subordinates to bring the spirit stones later." The city lord again bargain.
"No, I won't go until I see half of the spirit stones." Su Xiaoxiao shook his head, and then said: "Don't even try to trap me. I am an array master. I can teleport myself home, but I can't. It’s not difficult.”
When the city lord heard that Su Xiaoxiao came home, he frowned. Indeed, how could such a young formation master not have the blessing of his family? He must be able to teach such an formation master. In addition to the talent of the formation master himself, there must be other talents in her family. A more powerful array master exists.
After thinking about this, the city lord finally said again: "I'm looking for someone to collect spiritual stones. Can you show me that you are an array master?"
"Okay, this is easy."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, took out a talisman pen, and simply drew a few strokes in the void. As the last stroke fell, the city lord immediately felt that the aura around him had changed. He could not sense the supposed rich aura. arrive.
He tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body and activate the spell to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, but he still could not sense the existence of the spiritual energy after several attempts.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock, and saw Su Xiaoxiao's mouth slightly raised, and said something to him, "Stretch your hands around, or try moving around."
After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, the city lord immediately raised his feet and walked forward, but his shoes touched an invisible barrier.
The city lord tried to explore the space around him with his hands and feet. Sure enough, he was trapped in a place with a ceiling and less than half an arm's length.
At this time, he believed that Su Xiaoxiao was an array master, and a very powerful one.
Because he had just seen Su Xiaoxiao easily draw a few strokes in the void, he was trapped by this formation.
The city lord slapped the invisible barrier around him, "Okay, I believe you are an array master, please let me out."
"Well, let's wait until your people bring the spirit stones." Su Xiaoxiao pulled a chair next to him and sat down safely, showing a harmless smile to the city lord.
In desperation, the city lord could only rely on the invisible barrier and wait for his subordinates to come back with the spirit stones.
I don't know how long it took, but just when the city lord was already impatient and wanted to use spiritual power and planned to break through the formation that trapped him, his subordinates also arrived.
"City Lord, I've brought the spirit stone."
"Okay, give it to her." The city lord pointed to Su Xiaoxiao who was resting aside.
Su Xiaoxiao checked the spirit stones to confirm that the number was correct, and then took out the talisman pen and drew another stroke in the void in front of the city lord.
The city lord immediately felt that the formation that trapped him disappeared, and he could feel the rich spiritual energy around him again.
"Since that's right, I'll take you to the place where the formation masters gather first. You still have to rush there. As for the remaining spirit stones, you can collect them from the person in charge of management over there after you finish repairing the formation."
Now the city lord just wants to send this ancestor away as soon as possible. If he is kept by his side again, he will definitely be pissed to death.
With Su Xiaoxiao's consent, the city lord immediately set out in person to take Su Xiaoxiao to the place where the formation needed to be repaired.
After communicating with the monsters there, the city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes became much kinder when he looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "This is the captain in charge here. If anything happens in the future, you can report it to him." , I still have things to deal with in the city, so I will go back first."
After saying that, the city lord didn't wait for Su Xiaoxiao to respond to him. He swayed and his chubby figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
"His speed is so fast today. Has his cultivation level improved?" A demon clan next to him who knew the city lord sighed.
"Are you an array mage? What level are you?" The demon clan captain was quite polite. After all, the people he faced were all array mages, which was a rare profession.
But he also had to ask about the rank of the formation masters so that they could be arranged to repair the formations in the corresponding places.
There are many places where formations are damaged in the demon world, and the damage situation is different in each place, so the arrangement of formation masters must also be considered.
"I don't know." Su Xiaoxiao said honestly.
"Ah?!" The captain looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao looked normal, he made arrangements according to Su Xiaoxiao's cultivation level.
Anyway, the rank and strength of the formation masters are somewhat related to their cultivation.
"That's it. Then I'll arrange a more relaxed place for you. Master Qiu will be there, and you can just go and assist." The captain looked at Su Xiaoxiao's frail body and arranged an assistant job for her.
It just so happens that Master Qiu can also see what level of formation master she is, so that she can arrange to go to other places later.
"Master Qiu?"
"Well, haven't you heard of it?"
Logically speaking, there is no one who studies formations in the Monster Clan who has not heard of Master Qiu's name.
Seeing the captain's doubts about him, Su Xiaoxiao quickly explained that I had been assigned to study in the human world since I was a child, and this was not long after I returned to the demon world.
"Oh, no wonder, Master Xu is the second-largest formation mage in our demon world, second only to the national master. He can be said to be a highly respected senior."
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao could not detect the human aura at this time, otherwise these monsters would have taken her away as a spy and interrogated her.
Soon Su Xiaoxiao was taken to a new place by a demon soldier.
This is the Dark Whispering Forest. It is said that the formation here is the first to find damage. Although there are not too many cracks, the number of cracks here is also the largest.
