Chapter 136 Nine Peaks Bell

As Xu Yunfan narrated all this, the handle of the Thunder Fire Qilin Hammer creaked from his knuckles, and the sound of the wine bag bursting in Zhan Yan's hand was particularly clear in the Thunder Fire Cave.

The lava tube made the old man's hair and beard look red.

"Is Zhou Yuande a believer in Xianghuo Buddhism?"

Zhan Yan's voice was as low as thunder, and his hands, which had been forging iron for thirty years, were trembling slightly.

"Before he died, he shouted, 'May the enlightened one descend to the world and grant me immortality,' just like those crazy incense cultists in Wuzhou."

"Yunfan, this is a serious matter. The rest of the sects may not believe what our Weapon Casting Hall says. If this is true, the Incense Fire Sect is hiding too deeply and has been planning for a long time. If they launch an attack, the entire Tiangong Cave will probably be destroyed in an instant."

The old man's throat rolled as he spoke in a low voice, "Come with me to the Heavenly Works Hall and strike the Nine Peaks Bell! I will have Fu Jin gather the disciples of the Weapon Casting Hall to prepare for any eventuality."

When the ninth bell rang on the top of Guniu Mountain, Yan Yuwei, who had just rushed to the Rongjintang headquarters, suddenly stopped and realized in an instant that Xu Yunfan had already taken a step ahead of her.

She no longer hesitated and, as the first disciple of the Rongjin Hall, summoned all the disciples of the Rongjin Hall to gather together. At the same time, she sent a message to the Tiangong Department and the Jijia Hall's main first disciples.

In an emergency, corrections naturally need to be made as quickly as possible.
-
In front of the Tiangong Hall, the bronze prosthetic limb of Mo Han, the head of the Machinery Hall, was stuck in the gear of the hall door, and even wisps of electric arcs were emanating from the embedded mechanism.

The old man, known for his mechanical skills, was so shocked that his hair and beard stood on end. He looked incredulous, and dazzling sparks flew from the joints of his prosthetic limbs. "How could the Xuan Ji Lock be locked from the inside?"

"Get out of the way!"

The roar of Wan Chen, the head of the Tiangong Department, was accompanied by the sound of a giant copper axe breaking through the air.

As his body was steaming with heat, the moment the axe blade hit the crack in the door, the floor tiles of the entire hall suddenly flipped over, revealing the cold and sharp armor-piercing crossbow array below.

At the critical moment, the Thunder and Fire Qilin Hammer swept over with the power of wind and thunder.

Xu Yunfan's back muscles were raised like an angry dragon, and the hammer head hit the key point of the mechanism accurately. Three hundred and sixty poisoned crossbow arrows brushed against everyone's hair and were nailed into the corridor pillars.

"A force of a thousand pounds..."

The head of the Tiangong Department, who had practiced the Black Turtle Camel Mountain Strength and whose physique was several times larger than Yueshan, was a little surprised. It was hard for him to imagine that Xu Yunfan, who looked small in his eyes, could have such great strength.

"The agency was tampered with by someone."

The head of the Mechanical Hall, Mo Han, had a grim expression on his face. He took the lead in stepping into the hall and pressed the wall on the seat of the Tiangong Hall master. Suddenly, all kinds of mechanical valves, hubs, and all kinds of incomprehensible mechanisms popped out from under his feet.

Without saying anything more, Mo Han kept tinkering with the mechanism. For a moment, the entire Tiangong Cave was filled with the sounds of gears turning and mechanisms clicking.

Zhan Yan stepped into the hall wearing blood-red heavy armor, the black iron patterns on the armor flashing coldly.

He glanced at Mo Han, who was burying his head in the mud and cursing, and said in a deep voice, "The only person who can change the entire Tiangong City mechanism without you discovering it is probably Bao Yan from the Cangfeng Pavilion."

Seeing this scene, Zhan Yan became more and more convinced of Xu Yunfan's words.

The Cangfeng Pavilion gathers all the weapons of the Tiangong Cave and has the responsibility of arresting and guarding. Naturally, it has the authority to use the various agencies of the Machinery City.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Yuande from the Foreign Affairs Hall and Bao Yan from the Hidden Edge Pavilion did not show up under the Nine Peaks Bell.

"Where's the door master?"

Wan Chen, the head of the Tiangong Department, spoke in a muffled voice like a drum, and the huge axe in his hand was even more exaggerated.

Zhan Yan's heart sank even more, and he subconsciously glanced at Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan naturally felt Zhan Yan's gaze and was speechless.

If Tiangong Cave Sect Master Hong Baichuan is a member of the Xianghuo Sect, then forget it. Xu Yunfan will inform Zhan Yan and leave Cangzhou without hesitation. "It's adjusted!"

As Mo Han let out a sigh of relief, his bronze prosthesis suddenly exploded with seven layers of gears, and three hundred and sixty copper wedges shot into the mechanism holes on the wall of the hall.

With a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, the roof of the temple slowly opened, revealing a sky covered with leaden clouds.

Mo Han wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Ever since the establishment of Tiangong Cave, the entire Tiangong Cave has been under continuous construction. It has been thousands of years now. Until now, Tiangong City is still being continuously refined and improved with the cooperation of the Machinery Hall and the Tiangong Department. The entire Tiangong City is full of mechanisms, and many of them are closely linked.

If we cannot adjust in time, the entire Tiangong City will be completely paralyzed for several days. If the enemy attacks during these days, the entire Tiangong Cave will be defenseless.

"Qianmu, go!"

Mo Han looked up and glanced at the empty seat in the hall, feeling a little uneasy.

He turned his head and looked at Zhan Yan.

"Old man, what are you looking at this Nine Peaks Bell for?"

The nine rings of the Jiufeng Bell concerned the life and death of the entire Tiangong Cave. Naturally, they did not dare to delay and immediately put down their work and rushed over.

Without waiting for Zhan Yan to answer, Mo Han frowned deeply.

"Where are Zhou Yuande and Bao Yan?"

"Zhou Yuande has been killed by my apprentice with a hammer."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at Xu Yunfan, who was standing next to Zhan Yan and seemed to be wandering in the sky.

Zhan Yan nudged Xu Yunfan's arm with his elbow and coughed lightly: "Master is not good at speaking, please tell me another story."

Xu Yunfan had no choice but to step forward and repeat it again.

Mo Han's bronze prosthetic limb suddenly emitted several sparks. He turned his head sharply to look at Zhan Yan. The unique acumen of a mechanical engineer allowed him to instantly grasp the key point: "You said Zhou Yuande worshipped the Mingzun of the Xianghuo Sect in order to seek immortality?"

He let out a few "haha" sounds from his throat, and suddenly felt funny.

Mo Han couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly burst into laughter: "That old immortal, don't you know that Ming Zun also became a statue in order to seek immortality, unable to move, unable to think, and can only live in dreams?"

But he also understood that what Xu Yunfan said was most likely true. Zhou Yuande of the Foreign Affairs Hall was dead, Bao Yan, the head of the Cangfeng Pavilion, was missing, and the sect leader Hong Baichuan did not respond at this time.

His expression quickly grew serious. "If that's true, then most of the disciples currently on duty at Tiangong Cave are probably dead. This happened through my hands, so I can't possibly be unaware of it. What went wrong?"

This is a big problem, a fatal loophole.

Tiangong City has countless mechanisms, and its early warning mechanism has been perfected over the past thousand years to the point of being almost flawless, but it has been silently infiltrated and turned into a sieve.

Which part went wrong?

Even if there is a traitor, it is not possible that he cannot even notice the change of disciples. At least, everything was normal yesterday.

The black iron kite eye on Mo Han's chest suddenly lit up with a scarlet light.

The giant mechanical bird that was clinging motionlessly on the dome of the Tiangong Temple suddenly moved. The giant mechanical bird with iron wings had a wingspan of three meters. It flapped its wings and immediately soared into the sky from the opened dome of the Tiangong Temple. Its tail feathers left a purple trail in the clouds, and there was a black line trailing from its abdomen, connecting it to the dome of the Tiangong Temple.

fly a kite?
Xu Yunfan was a little surprised. Although he had imagined that the various mechanisms in the Mechanical Hall were magical, he had never imagined them to be this magical.
