Outside the city lord's mansion.
Pang Jian, who uses the frightening spear and performs the "Fear of Frightening" exquisitely, has been able to separate the tip of the spear from the barrel.
However, it is far from reaching the level of proficiency.
suddenly.
The originally silent square and the eight streets leading to the city gate became strangely bustling with people.
The area submerged by the filthy power of the fifth realm was still in absolute darkness, but Pang Jian, who had been promoted to the Marrow Cleansing Realm with the dark power, could see clearly in the darkness.
He was startled by the scene before him.
I saw many people in ancient clothes suddenly appearing, talking loudly.
Those people were either standing in the square where he stood, or stopped at the street corner where he was shrinking before, or appeared in the alleyway leading to the city lord's palace.
They are everywhere.
Judging from the accessories on their clothes, it seems that all these men and women of different ages are practitioners.
Pang Jian was frightened and his scalp was numb. He felt that he was suddenly in a ghost and was forced to hear many words.
They were all talking about something called "spiritual food", saying how much "spiritual food" someone had harvested in the lower realm, and how much tribute they should pay to the Lord of the City.
Ancient people from all over the world had warm smiles on their faces and looked quite kind and polite.
In panic, Pang Jian secretly prepared to fight, but found that no one noticed him at all.
The ancient people who suddenly appeared seemed to be in another time and space, talking about "spiritual food" in their world.
Pang Jian felt a little at ease, so he secretly sensed it and immediately understood that these ancient people who appeared were not ghosts like "spirit evil spirits".
He couldn't detect a trace of abnormal energy in those ancient people. Those people were like air.
A man and a woman suddenly came hand in hand.
Pang Jian looked at the man and woman, smiled, passed through his body, and walked straight to the city lord's mansion.
As if facing a formidable enemy, he felt nothing when the two passed through his body.
This man and woman and all the ancient people seem to be just the moon in the mirror, a projection from another time and space.
But Pang Jian could see their speech and behavior, and could hear them all talking about "spiritual food."
Pang Jian, who didn't know what strange thing happened, looked at the bustling and unusual scene in front of him in the extreme darkness in Bagua City, which was supposed to be dead.
He felt increasingly creepy.
"Li Yuqing in the alleyway..."
Worried that the girl would be frightened, he ignored the practice of mastering the "Fear of Death" and immediately rushed towards the alleyway with the Frightening Spear.
A moment later, he returned to the girl's side and said in a deep voice: "Are you okay?"
Many ancient people appeared and walked toward the mansion along this lane as if they wanted to pay tribute to the city lord. Some people also passed through Li Yuqing's body.
She was still standing gracefully at the entrance of the alley, twisting a delicate little wine pot, eating red vermilion fruits, and looking at the house with great interest.
When she heard Pang Jian's questioning, she turned around and said strangely: "What can happen to me?"
"These, and these..."
Pang Jian stretched out his hand and pointed at an old man in gray clothes walking past him, and then pointed at a gorgeous woman next to the girl.
"Ah."
The girl pursed her lips and chuckled weirdly: "Do you think I'm afraid of these ghosts?"
Without waiting for Pang Jian to respond, she waved her hands nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, I knew what would happen when I came here. These are not living people, not even ghosts, so I won't be afraid."
Pang Jianqi asked: "Do you know what will happen?"
"Um."
She waved to Pang Jian, signaling Pang Jian to come over.
At this time, there were no tables, chairs and other furnishings at the entrance of the alley, and she was the only one standing there.
Pang Jian stepped forward as instructed and stood side by side with her, staring into the mansion again through a layer of barrier-like darkness.
At this moment, Yuan Lengshan was standing on a high platform, asking Li Jie something.
Li Jie looked slightly cold and seemed reluctant to pay attention to her.
In the courtyard of the city lord's palace, there were also many ancient people, either pouring in from this alleyway or entering through the wall, and they were all standing in the courtyard of the palace.
By the pool.
There was an imposing and majestic man standing by the pool wearing a white robe, whom Pang Jian had never seen before.
After taking a closer look, Pang Jian realized that he, like those who suddenly appeared, was also an alien that Li Yuqing said was not a living person, not even a ghost.
The man has a smile on his face and an extraordinary posture.
He was talking to each of the tributes, collecting the tributes presented by those people, and whispering a few words to those people.
Those who had paid tribute bowed and thanked them, and then left.
An endless stream of tributes came forward in an orderly manner. This scene looked quite harmonious.
Li Yuqing took a sip of the fruit wine and saw Pang Jian looking at the scene in the city lord's mansion with curiosity on his face, and said softly: "Do you know what the spiritual food they are talking about is?"
Pang Jian shook his head.
"Born soul."
Li Yuqing frowned.
Pang Jian's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "The spiritual food those people are discussing refers to the living soul? The soul of a living person?"
"Um."
Li Yuqing nodded lightly, "Three thousand years ago in Bagua City, the city lord Yuan Shishan practiced forbidden arts and fed on living souls."
"He also promoted this forbidden technique and allowed the aborigines of Bagua City to practice it. Those who do not want to practice it will not be allowed to live in Bagua City."
"Later, all the citizens of Bagua City, like him, secretly practiced this forbidden technique that cannibalize the living soul."
"Those people often go out to some cities in the third realm and towns and villages in the fourth realm to quietly hunt and kill the souls of those with strong Qi and blood. Living in Bagua City, they have to pay tribute to Yuan Shishan every once in a while. Spiritual food.”
"What you see now is one of the tribute scenes."
"Well, this is also the scene of the last tribute in Bagua City three thousand years ago."
Li Yuqing slowly revealed the truth.
Pang Jian's scalp went numb when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Approximately how many people from the third and fourth realms died at the hands of the people in Bagua City?"
"Hundreds of thousands."
Li Yuqing said.
Pang Jian was silent for a moment and then said: "The city lord Yuan Shishan and all the citizens of Bagua City should all die."
"Yes, the people above thought so too. So when the last tribute was paid, Bagua City disappeared out of thin air and appeared on the top of this pillar of tribulation."
Li Yuqing took a gentle breath and said: "The blood sacrifice to Bagua City and the death of all the people in the city overnight was also a decision made jointly by all parties."
"All parties?" Pang Jian was stunned.
Li Yuqing nodded and said: "Those sects in the first realm of purgatory."
"Purgatory?"
"Well, our world is called purgatory."
Li Yuqing gave a positive answer.
…
"boom!"
The fighting in the mansion broke out again.
Dong Tianze waved the ghost chant, trying to absorb the foreign objects in front of him with the numerous holes on the broken black gold blade, so as to greatly enhance his own strength.
He practiced Yinling Temple magic and had the evil weapon Gui Yin in his hand, so he could indeed do this.
But he was so excited that he soon discovered that there was no miraculous effect when waving the ghost chant. The ancients who poured in from all directions did not have any energy that the ghosts should have.
Instead, when he waved the ghost chant to make the ghost cry sound, Lan Xi mistakenly thought he was going to kill him.
Lan Xi snorted coldly, then threw a flower basket full of flowers in her hand towards Dong Tianze.
Sections of flower branches in the flower basket, while the flower basket was floating, stabbed Dong Tianze in advance like a sword.
As soon as she moved, Heigu Lin Beiye said nothing and slammed her Panlong staff at her.
Dao Dao was like a real light dragon, soaring out from the Panlong Staff, fighting fiercely with the huge "Devil" character flying out from Lan Xi's clothes.
The stagnant battle broke out.
Lan Xi snorted coldly, and her robe fluttered, making more bright red heart-shaped charms. Some of them flew to Lin Beiye, and the other part flew to Dong Tianze.
"Heartbroken!"
Lan Xi whispered a magic spell.
The heart-shaped charms flying towards Lin Beiye and Dong Tianze suddenly shattered.
Lin Beiye and Dong Tianze groaned in unison, feeling cramps in their hearts. In panic, they hurriedly mobilized their strength to eliminate Lan Xi's evil spell in their hearts.
Lan Xi slapped the Panlong Staff with one hand, and countless huge black magic words took the opportunity to strangle those light dragons.
"boom!"
When Lin Beiye was unable to make a move, Lan Xi injected power into the flower basket, causing it to suddenly shine brightly.
With a "peng" sound, the flower basket hit Dong Tianze, and Dong Tianze immediately broke several bones.
"Because you are the weakest, I will kill you first."
Lan Xi approached with a natural look on her face, wanting to kill Dong Tianze as quickly as possible, and then concentrate on dealing with Lin Beiye.
Yuan Lengshan is her hope for the future.
Whether she can gain a foothold in the Demon Heart Sect in the future and whether she can advance further in her cultivation depends on this youngest junior sister.
——She staked everything on this.
"Wow!"
Flying towards Dong Tianze in the sky, she suddenly saw a brilliant starry sky, like a Milky Way suddenly appearing behind her.
Lan Xi turned around in horror, and used the countless magic words in her palm to shoot at the glorious Milky Way.
She no longer cared about Dong Tianze, and after quietly passing over Dong Tianze's head, she reluctantly turned around in mid-air and kept retreating.
Countless magic words fell on the approaching splendid Milky Way, like colliding with thousands of stars, exploding into a dazzling brilliance.
The violent momentum caused Lan Xi, who was in the air, to retreat again and again.
She looked at Luo Hongyan on the high platform with fear.
But she had no idea that she was getting closer and closer to the dark alley where Pang Jian disappeared.
"ah!"
Lan Xi suddenly screamed, and she keenly sensed a piercing edge emerging from the darkness behind her.
"Peng!"
The broken galaxy riddled with holes in her chest suddenly exploded, and this violent force pushed her back.
"puff!"
While her body was still retreating, a spear suddenly appeared in her chest, and the tip of the spear burst out with a breathtaking brilliance.
Demon Zong Lanxi was pierced through the chest by a spear. The spear was still inserted into his body, hanging in the air and facing everyone.
The rod fixed her, preventing her from landing the spear, and the other end of the gun rod was still hidden in the darkness.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, stopped fighting temporarily, and looked at Lan Xi who died first in horror.
——Because Lan Xi was not killed by them!
