Li Shenyuan did not explain too much and said seriously: "Can you allow me to meet your respected master?"
Zhao Xiyan looked at her suspiciously.
Jiang Wang also took advantage of the situation and said: "Since you are all here, I have to pay a visit, lest your respected master will say that I, a junior like me, are rude."
Zhao Xiyan spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, the teacher has a hidden disease that happened in the past few days and has been in seclusion for two days. If you want to see him, you have to wait until he comes out of seclusion."
Li Shenyuan frowned slightly.
Hidden illness?
Jiang Wang glanced at Li Shenyuan and said, "It's really unfortunate. Let's meet again next time."
Zhao Xiyan asked: "How many days will you stay in the town? Teacher never stays in seclusion for too long."
Jiang Wang said: "I happened to have other things to do. I originally thought of stopping by when I went back, but now it seems that I can only do that first."
Zhao Xiyan nodded and said, "Then I will wait for you in Chaosixiang."
Jiang Wang clasped his hands and said goodbye.
Jiang Wang could also understand that Zhao Xiyan did not want to join in the fun. If her teacher's hidden illness was serious, she would definitely not be able to do without him given her respect for her teachers.
But before leaving, Jiang Wang specifically talked about Lou Yiren.
After walking out of the town, Jiang Wang looked at Li Shenyuan with a solemn expression and asked: "This Chaosi Lane is very similar to the Chaosi Lane in your memory? Or maybe the layout of this town is very similar to the Langya City in your memory. ? Do you think you might know Miss Zhao’s teacher?”
Li Shenyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'll understand when I see him."
Although he came in a hurry and didn't see Yan Guan, his trip was not in vain. Jiang Wang could guess that Li Shenyuan or the deputy city lord of Wutiao City was hiding a big secret. Maybe Chao Si
The tip of the iceberg can be revealed in the alley.
...
Kutanbeiquan County, Chongshan Liangcheng.
In the Chunfeng Yidu Inn in a quiet alley.
The night was getting darker and the landlady was dozing behind the counter.
Youdao's figure suddenly flashed past, and the landlady suddenly woke up. She looked at the man who was sitting in front of the window. His clothes were slightly torn and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. As if he was used to it, the landlady walked out of the counter and said to herself: "I'll heat it up for you." Hot food.”
Yu Xichao nodded. He held his left shoulder and grinned slightly. He thought to himself that there were frequent demon troubles near Liangcheng. The governor's office suffered heavy casualties, but the Shentu clan couldn't avoid it. There was a big demon now. If the Shentu clan didn't take action, the entire Shentu clan would be in danger. Liangcheng will fall soon.
Although he had gathered many wild cultivators or warriors, it was only a drop in the bucket. The monster-suppressing envoys who came to help put the big monster in the mouth, and the monsters besieged the city. The possibility of sending messages outside became extremely low. In addition to waiting for the Qingxuan Department to notice the problem, If people are sent to support them again, the people of Liangcheng will have to find ways to save themselves.
Seeing the proprietress coming out of the back kitchen with hot dishes, Yu Xichao said: "Although the monsters are temporarily resisting the invasion of the city, Liangcheng's strength has also reached its end. If the monsters attack a few more times on a large scale, Liangcheng will be destroyed."
"Even if the highest cultivation level among the Shentu clan is only Dongming Peak, they still have a large number of clansmen, and they are extremely stupid because they are afraid to retreat. Once Liangcheng falls, they will still be unable to escape death."
Even though they had been together for a long time, the landlady still didn't dare to speak. She just sat aside, lowering her head in silence.
Yu Xichao didn't pay attention and continued: "Even with the strength of the Shentu clan, it may not be able to resist the monsters.
, but it will definitely last longer. Instead of just waiting for death, it is better to seek a glimmer of hope. "
"I have no right to let the Shentu clan die, but they enjoy too many benefits in Liangcheng and even Beilan County. When it comes time to use them, they will not be able to escape."
"What's more." Yu Xichao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "My senior brother, whom I have never met, has a grudge against the Shentu clan. I don't have to worry about my enemies."
The boss lady finally had some reaction after hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't there any way to ask your teacher for help?"
Yu Xichao sighed and said: "I noticed that the teacher seemed to have left behind a spiritual soul. I thought he was afraid that I would be in danger so he could come to the rescue in time. But I don't know how to use the spiritual soul to contact the teacher, or maybe I need to be in a real death situation. Only then can the teacher feel it.”
The landlady hesitated to speak.
Yu Xichao said with a bitter face: "Of course I can try, but I am afraid that I will die before the teacher can get over in time. This is not to boast. Now I am indeed the backbone of Liangcheng. As long as something happens, without me, those people The wild cultivators in the Jianghu will definitely be timid, and Liangcheng will be in danger."
He then said seriously: "So it is necessary to pull out the Shentu clan. With the new strength, Jianghu wild cultivators can at least temporarily feel at ease. No matter whether the Shentu clan tries their best or not, if I hide my whereabouts and go into danger alone, even if I die, As long as no one knows about it, Liangcheng will not collapse instantly. If the teacher can come over, Liangcheng will be saved."
Yu Xichao took a few mouthfuls of rice at random, stood up and said, "Be ready for the final battle at any time. Success or failure depends on this."
...
Shentu Mansion, in the main hall.
The patriarch Shentu Wuyan, the second
Shentu Jun, Shentu Qi, and his son-in-law headed by Shentu Kun were all present.
Except for Shentu Qi, who looked unhappy, the rest of the people had ugly expressions.
Logically speaking, there are people in the Shentu clan who work in the capital of the gods. They should do their best to eliminate demons and work hard without any credit so that the Shentu clan outside can stand on their own feet. After all, they are in the north. Qin is the largest family. If there is a crisis and no action is taken, the members of the clan who are in charge will inevitably lose their favor in the eyes of their superiors.
But Shentu Wuyan knew very well that there were waves of demon troubles, and there were also big demons appearing. With the power of the Shentu clan, the only result of subduing the demons was to be killed by the demons. The older generation was afraid of death, and the younger generation had high hopes. Naturally It is impossible to let young people die. If you want to show off, you can only let those sons-in-law make up for it.
However, there were not many husband-in-laws who were capable of cultivation, and now they were all almost dead, except for the one who was the favorite among the women of the Shentu clan.
Shentu Wuyan looked at everyone in the room and said in a deep voice: "The scale of the monster attacks on the city is getting more and more exaggerated. It will be a matter of time before Liangcheng is destroyed. I think the nearby towns have fallen, otherwise the message will not be sent out in Liangcheng. People should have noticed that reinforcements from the Qingxuan Department have arrived long ago."
Shen Tuqi was half a Jianghu person, and what he advocated was to lead his clan to kill demons, but he was not the clan leader after all. Hearing this, he proposed again: "When Liang City is broken, we still have to face the demons. Now While Liang City is not broken, it is better to lead the clan to resist and wait for reinforcements than to wait here to die."
Shentu Wuyan just glanced at Shentu and said: "There are demon troubles everywhere in Kutan. As time goes by, Qingxuan Department will definitely notice that Liangcheng
The situation is that there will be reinforcements for sure, it's just a question of when they will come. "
"If you lead the clan to attack at the last moment, you can not only minimize the losses, but also gain credit for protecting the city. If you attack early, your clan members will die in vain."
Shentu frowned and said: "The whole Liangcheng knows that we are staying behind closed doors, and ordinary people are not affected. However, those wild cultivators led by Yu Xichao are not dumb. Who will recognize that we have contributed to protecting the city?"
Shen Tu Wuyan said: "Just get rid of Yu Xichao. Those martial arts cultivators are intimidated by Yu Xichao's strength, and some of them really have a righteous wish to follow Yu Xichao to slay demons. However, except for a few thorns, these martial arts cultivators are basically Just succumb to our Shentu clan, even if they don’t dare to say anything.”
Shen Tuqi looked at the clan leader in disbelief and said urgently: "Don't forget that Yu Xichao is Mr. Jiang's apprentice. Doesn't the clan leader know the consequences of touching him?"
Shentu Wuyan sneered: "Mr. Jiang was not in Liangcheng. Yu Xi died fighting to protect the city. He is a hero who subdues demons and eliminates demons. What's the problem?"
Shen Tujun hesitated at this time and said: "It is a pity to let Yu Xichao die like this without being able to taste the sweetness of Yu Xichao."
The face of the adopted son-in-law Shen Tukun froze. He looked at Shen Tujun's back with a hint of evil in his eyes.
Shentu Wuyan scolded: "Watch your greedy mouth!"
Shen Tuqi shook his head and said, "I still think this is inappropriate."
Shentu Wuyan frowned and said, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think that you'd better figure out who is the clan leader. You've really made yourself stupid by wandering around in the world."
At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside the main hall and reported: "The clan
Chang, Yu Xichao is here! "
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Shentu Wuyan narrowed his eyes and said, "It comes at the right time."
He waved his hand, and Shentu Kun and his son-in-law left the main hall. The former returned to his courtyard and poured a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it. He turned to look at the demonic aura outside the city and his face became even more gloomy.
...
The next morning.
The sky is still dark.
A huge monster hit the city gate.
The city is supported by the wild cultivators and the people who guard the government offices.
Liangcheng is the largest city in Beilan County after the county. Naturally, there are demon-suppressing stones on the city walls and underground to resist monsters. In addition, with so many people working hard to support the barrier, Liangcheng can be protected for so long. But that short-lived big city Before the demon takes action, everyone has no idea how long Liang Cheng can resist.
"Where is Yu Xichao?"
Suddenly someone shouted.
The guard of Liangcheng Town gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Xichao killed hundreds of monsters alone last night. He must be exhausted. Don't worry, he will come back after he has rested!"
After hearing this, everyone did not doubt that he was there, and took turns to support the barrier to save strength.
But soon the people who were lying on the top of the city and watching climbed down to the top of the city, shouting: "The big demon has appeared!"
"I'll go find Yu Xichao!"
Without any explanation, some wild cultivators fled quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate and the city wall trembled violently.
Liangcheng Shou raised his eyes subconsciously, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw a huge head appearing outside the city wall. It was grotesque and disgusting. It was comparable to the palm of the city gate and slammed down. Most of the city wall collapsed immediately, and the flying rubble hit the unprepared Jianghu Yexiu and the guards. The monks from the government office were killed and injured in an instant.
one slice.
"Where is Yu Xichao?!"
Although they didn't think Yu Xichao could fight against the big demon, the only one they could count on was Yu Xichao. Without Yu Xichao, Liang City would have been destroyed long ago.
The Liangcheng garrison tried his best to stabilize the morale of the troops, but no one listened to him.
There are many wild cultivators who have begun to think about retreating. Although they have no way to retreat, without the help of these people, the barrier is already crumbling.
The remaining people who firmly believed that Yu Xichao would come, after all, did not wait for Yu Xichao, but instead waited for the proprietress who came as soon as the spring breeze came.
Facing the anxious inquiries from others, the landlady remained silent. Her face turned pale and she was extremely flustered.
Someone realized the problem, suddenly rushed to the proprietress's side, and said sternly: "Did Yu Xichao run away? He asked us to resist the demon attack, so many people died, but he ran away!?"
The landlady was startled, and she punched the man out of reflex, sending the man flying several miles away.
The mayor of Liangcheng City looked at the landlady in shock.
More people were wailing and cursing Yu Xichao, some were breaking pots and throwing all their strength to attack the big demon, some were retreating one after another, and some were even targeting the boss's wife, wanting revenge.
But just when the city was in chaos, there was a roaring sound outside the city.
Everyone saw that the big demon that was about to smash the city wall to pieces suddenly exploded, and blood mist spread in front of the city.
Suddenly, the world was quiet.
