In a quiet room.
Yu Ye slowly opened his eyes.
After eating and drinking last night, he drove away Moxie, Yiding, and Yizhuang, closed the wooden door, and went to the quiet room to breathe and breathe. The so-called quiet room is just a stone room with empty walls and nothing, but it is convenient for practicing peacefully.
Yu Ye spread his palms.
A handful of crystal fragments.
After just sitting quietly for a few hours, a piece of demon stone was consumed. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy, no, should be called demonic energy, is far beyond the realm of refining energy back then.
Yu Ye patted the stone chips off his hands, and found five more rings in front of him. They were all made of refined jade, with different sizes and different storage.
The items collected by Zhahong are the most numerous and numerous, while Bi Ba and the other three are far inferior. The relevant items have been taken away by Duocai. Compared with the Yanzhou monks, the net worth of these four demon cultivators is still a bit shabby. .
His consciousness moved.
"Wow——"
There were hundreds of crystal stones on the ground, more than ten bottles of elixirs, more than ten jade slips, several sets of formation flags, and a pile of gold and silver.
The spar is the demon stone; the elixir is only used for healing and repelling grains; the jade slips are printed with exercises or maps; the formation flag is not refined, so the power of the formation must be ordinary.
Yu Ye picked up the jade slips one by one and looked at them.
The map of the Demon Realm is temporarily useless. The skills of the demon cultivators are mostly the same, and there is no magic in their magical powers. Now that he knows how to get started, he has no intention of studying in depth.
Yu Ye once again searched for the relics of Zha Hong and others, and found a jar of wine and a gold ring.
The gold ring was similar to his iron ring, with dozens of feet of storage space, and was filled with a fishy smell.
Spirit ring?
Demon cultivators are good at controlling beasts, and this golden ring may be the spirit-controlling ring of the demon realm!
Yu Ye put all the items into his ring, opened the wine jar, tasted it briefly, and reluctantly drank it. He drank and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Whether it was the battle of Black Wind City or the battle of Ganli City, Bone Ya was deceived one after another and suffered heavy losses. Although Duocai, whom he relied on, was shrewd and loyal, she was a woman after all and was far from a match for Zha Hong or Gong Yang. Perhaps he was forced to have no choice but to cut off the internal troubles himself. At that time, I thought he was showing weakness on purpose, but I didn't expect that he was at the end of his strength. And after repeated forced shots, his injury should not be optimistic now.
In addition, it was learned from Mo Xie that after Duocai and Shang Lang returned to Black Wind City, they told Zha Hong the details of the defeat of Ganli City, but Zha Hong took people to rescue Gu Ya alone. Duocai noticed that he was acting strangely and chased after him. Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Now Bone Ya is in seclusion in Black Wind Valley to heal his injuries, and no one else is allowed to approach him, nor are they allowed to inquire about his injuries...
"Brother Yu, Guanshi——"
The shouts of Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang came from the yard.
Yu Ye dropped the wine jar and stood up angrily. His cultivation and spiritual consciousness were not enough to use the restraint, which made the entrance to the cave useless. He set up a formation to prevent the two guys from making wanton noise.
"Bang--"
The wooden door opened.
The sky was dim and it was already early morning. In the courtyard, Kuang Xiong and other twenty or thirty men gathered.
Seeing Yuye appearing, Yiding and Yizhuang took the lead in shouting——
"Brother Yu, the steward, and the brothers patrolling the city are waiting for dispatch!"
Calling him "big brother" and "steward", such long-winded names are just to highlight the unique identities of the two brothers.
"Go away——"
Yu Ye waved his sleeves and shouted.
Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang hurriedly stepped aside, holding their heads high and looking proud.
Yu Ye stood on the steps in front of the door and glanced at everyone.
All the demon warriors in the city had been killed or injured. Although he was in charge of patrolling the city, he only had twenty-eight people including Kuang Xiong.
"Yu Guanshi..."
Kuang Xiong raised his hand to salute, but stopped talking.
Yu Ye waved his hand and said: "Brothers, you have worked very hard in the battle of Ganli City. I have already reported to leader Ming Duocai that each of you will be rewarded... ten
A piece of demon stone, an ingot of gold and silver. "
"Ha ha!"
Kuang Xiong laughed heartily, and everyone was overjoyed. They all thanked the steward for the reward and determined to work for him through life and death.
Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang looked at each other and said——
"The leader rewards his subordinates heavily, but he is not so generous..."
"One or two pieces of demonic stone are enough. He paid for ten pieces, which is worth thousands of gold..."
Yu Ye raised his hand and waved, and there was a pile of crystal stones and gold and silver on the ground.
Everyone cheered again, Kuang Xiong distributed the rewards, and there was a joyful scene in the yard.
But Yu Ye turned around and kicked Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang.
He only had three to four hundred yuan worth of demonic stones, but he gave away more than half of them in a blink of an eye. It would be false to say that he didn't feel distressed, but it was only because the two talkative guys didn't warn him in time.
"Ouch--"
Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang didn't know what was going on, so they each covered their butts and screamed.
Yu Ye's anger subsided and he raised his voice: "Twenty-eight brothers patrol the city in turns for twelve hours each round. They are not allowed to let go of anyone suspicious or cause any trouble."
"As you command!"
Everyone was highly motivated after receiving a heavy reward, so Kuang Xiong assigned his men and rushed out of the yard one by one.
Yu Ye raised his hand again and said, "Bring me my knife, I'm going out of town for inspection!"
"Uh-huh……"
Yi Ding and Yi Zhuang, one carrying the silver knife and the other leading the way, walked out of the yard and walked through the market...
At the same time, a man and a woman stood on the top of the Black Wind Valley.
The man is in his forties, stout, with a curly beard and thick eyebrows, a majestic expression, but a gloomy expression; the woman has a slender waist, beautiful appearance, and eyes like autumn water, but she is still charming.
The two people's foothold is only two to three hundred feet high, but it is the main peak of Black Wind City and the center of the city's protective formation. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire demon city and the chaotic market. Even the pedestrians on the street can be seen clearly.
It can be seen that a young man was walking through the city with two strong men, his swaying figure and arrogant demeanor were very eye-catching.
"Hmph, that's the boy you created with your own hands, Chief Duo? But he's just another person who wants to follow people's influence. How can he take on the important task of patrolling the city!"
Duo leader, Duo Cai.
She crossed her arms like a man and said calmly: "Shang, leader, if you have anything to say, speak directly."
Shang Lang shook his head and said: "Why didn't Bi Ba create it for you? What happened? He was actually a close confidant of Zha Hong, causing you and me to be deceived one after another. The battle of Ganli City was defeated, and the demon The Demon Guards suffered heavy casualties, including the city lord..."
When he said this, he glanced back.
A few feet away, under the cliff, is a cave surrounded by restrictions. The owner of the cave is in retreat, and his injuries are worrying.
He added a bit of gloom, and changed his words, saying: "Now you are in charge of all the affairs in the city, and you can do whatever you want..."
Duocai's face darkened and she interrupted: "I always think about Black Wind City, how can I be willful?"
"When will you stop sealing the city like this?"
"If the city is not sealed off, the news will inevitably leak out. If Gongyang learns that the city lord is seriously injured, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city. Let me ask you, how to deal with it then?"
"You judge people based on their appearance and let a sorcerer act as your steward?"
"Why judge a book by its appearance?"
"You have always admired the fairyland and liked people with fair looks. Who doesn't know..."
"Fart! How could the city lord get rid of Bi Ba and Zha Hong without Yu Ye's escort all the way? Although his cultivation level is low, he acted decisively and made great contributions to our Black Wind City. Moreover, the demon warriors and demon guards in the city suffered heavy casualties. There is no one available, so why shouldn’t I make an exception and promote him?”
"And how long will you seal the city for? Three or five years, or tens or hundreds of years. If the city lord is seriously injured and dies, is it possible..."
"Shang Lang, what do you mean?"
Duocai's eyes widened with a murderous look on her face.
Taking advantage of her momentum, Shang Lang took a step back and said, "Huh, you should know, Gongyang
Behind him is not only Tian Cun, but also Chunyu Demon King! "
He waved his hand and turned to leave with his heart full of worries.
Duocai stood alone on the cliff. She looked at the demon city covered by the formation and the sealed cave, and she couldn't help but look sad.
She is extremely loyal to Black Wind City.
But now there are only two leaders left in Black Wind City, but they have different intentions. The city lord is retreating to heal his wounds. A powerful enemy is coming at any time. The huge demon city is already in turmoil, so she doesn't know how to support it for a while.
As said, if Demon King Chunyu wants to get rid of the city lord, Black Wind City will inevitably be doomed...
"well--"
At this moment, a sigh sounded——
"Is the situation now over and you also want to leave me..."
It was Bone Ya that was transmitting the sound, and the voice was extremely weak.
Duocai was startled, then turned to face the cave and said: "Duocai is deeply favored by the city lord, how dare you betray your promise and swear to live or die with the demon city no matter what happens in the future..."
"Well, it's just a city, don't be too attached. There is a saying in the fairyland, if the city survives and people are lost, people and land will be lost. If the city is lost and people survive, people and land will survive. If I die from my injuries, you can choose another way out. Ahem..."
The city lord has heard her conversation with Shang Lang, and he is trying to persuade her to give up Black Wind City.
Duocai's heart sank and she hurriedly said: "The city lord can heal his wounds with peace of mind. He will surely recover one day..."
"If I hadn't met Zha Hong, my injury might have improved... Even if I recovered as before, what could I do? Chunyu refused to give up..."
"oh?"
"Back then, I offended Chunyu. He summoned nine cities to attack the Demon Realm. After I refused, he always held a grudge..."
"The Demon Realm is far away, why does he insist on doing this?"
"The Demon Lord has great ambitions and tries to unify the Netherworld, so he does what he likes in an attempt to gain the Demon Lord's appreciation. However, he hates me for ruining his good deeds, and is inconvenient to publicly attack, so he pretends to be the hand of Gongyang, ahem..."
"Gaiyi Demon Lord?"
"Alas, the dispute between the demon realm, the demon realm, the ghost realm, and the fairy realm is a long story, and the Gai Yi Demon Lord is also very difficult for people to fathom. Just remember..."
Bone Ya's words became more difficult. He seemed to take a breath, and then said: "In half a year, if I don't come out of seclusion, you will go to Muying City and join Demon General Qi Huai. You have followed me for hundreds of years, I have to give you an explanation..."
"City Lord..."
A bitter look flashed in Duocai's eyes.
"Seal this place now, and you and Shang Lang will not be allowed to interfere with each other. Let me try to see if I can regain my heart and reshape my soul..."
"As you command!"
Duocai grabbed a few formation flags and threw them out, and the surroundings suddenly flashed with light. She took a few steps back in the air, and the cave where the cliff was located was shrouded in heavy mist.
She looked up instead.
Looking through the city defense formation, snowflakes are falling in the haze of the sky...
