Above the wilderness, mountains tower.
Among them, the nine peaks are connected end to end, like a black dragon lying on the earth, which is spectacular.
Surrounded by these peaks, there are towering city walls, criss-crossing streets, scattered houses, and clusters of palaces, making the power of the blue dragon even more extraordinary.
This is Dragon City.
There is a broad avenue in the city, which starts from the city gate and runs through the whole city to Longdai Peak in the north of the city. The avenue, which is more than ten miles long, is the main street of Longcheng. There are many inns and shops, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going, making it a noisy and prosperous scene.
Two blocks away from the city gate, there is a courtyard facing the street. It is a butcher's shop, where they make a living from slaughtering and buying and selling. The shopkeeper is an old man, who guards the meat stall in front of the door all day long with blood all over his body. He holds a boning knife in his hand and sells fresh meat to passers-by. There were two other guys busy in the backyard, but it was rare to see anyone. Maybe the shop was too bloody and dirty, so not only the neighbors stayed away, but even the demon cultivators in the city also took a detour. .
"Ha...bah!"
The shopkeeper sat on the stool in front of the door, leaned over and spat, then lifted up his dirty sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth, then raised his boning knife and knocked on the wooden board on which the meat was placed, and said lazily: "Well, this is a living. It’s getting more and more bleak!”
No one on the street paid any attention to his complaints.
Someone in the courtyard heard a message——
"It's been seven or eight years, when will it end..."
"Now that the path has been discovered, it's better to leave..."
"D-Dang——"
The old man rapped the meat stall with the boning knife in his hand, and said through the message: "The lives of several sect leaders are uncertain, and the whereabouts of many fellow Taoists are unknown. Where can you and I go?"
"To the Demon Realm."
"Compared to the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm is an even more dangerous place. Recently, news came that Lingye City invaded the Demon Realm and burned, killed, and looted. The Demon Realm has sworn revenge. How dare you and I act rashly."
"I also heard that the lord of Guyuan City has disappeared or was killed by an expert from the Demon Realm..."
"It is precisely because Longcheng is convenient for inquiring about information. Otherwise, why would you and I take the risk and lurk here? If we wait for a few years, we may be able to find our colleagues in Yanzhou. Sheng Huaizi, is there any trace of the wild wolf you acquired?"
"The deposit has been paid, and three wolves will be delivered in the evening."
"Those who think of me as dining in the clouds and drinking in the clouds should be enjoying the rain and clouds and roaming freely between heaven and earth, but instead they are accompanied by blood all day long. However, this method comes from a demon cultivator classic, and it is quite effective..."
The old man looked at the blood on his hands and body and shook his head helplessly.
Although he and his two companions hid their cultivation, they were afraid that they would not be able to hide from the discerning eyes of the demon cultivators, so they used wolf blood to cover their auras. Unexpectedly, they had been lurking in the demon city for seven or eight years. The former immortal master has turned into a dirty butcher. Compared with the fellow Taoist who died tragically, the three of them were lucky enough. As for what will happen next, it is difficult to predict the blessings and misfortunes. Just like this trip to the Netherworld Fairyland, who could have imagined that it would be a disaster. Shen Jizi at that time should have already known the dangers of this place, so he sealed the Netherworld Gate. As a result, each immortal sect turned to its own death, and eventually Master Meng Ba also died in the foreign land.
It was already afternoon, and the number of pedestrians on the street was gradually dwindling.
The old man yawned and closed his eyes slightly.
There was no business in the shop, so he liked to take a nap in front of the door. When dusk approached, he would close the door and end his day's work.
Well, when it comes to freedom and freedom, Yanzhou is better, but it’s a pity that I can never go back...
The old man dozed off, recalling the past years, but his expression changed again, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A group of people walked from the direction of the city gate. The leader was a tall, stout middle-aged man with a dignified demeanor. The four old men accompanying him were also unpredictable and had extraordinary momentum. There were also many men and women following behind, with different ages, looks, and cultivation levels. .
They were a group of demon cultivators from out of town, and they looked like they had a lot of background.
But I saw one of the men was young in appearance, with eyebrows like daggers. Although he was not tall, he had a tall and straight body. He was looking around with a faint smile, and his demeanor and behavior were so familiar!
The old man couldn't help but stood up, his eyes widened.
God, could it be him?
No disguise, just the same...
Is this Dragon City?
Yu Ye walked to the wide street and looked at the scenery in the city.
After returning to Fengdu City, he only rested for two days before he was summoned by Demon King Chunyu and immediately set off for Dragon City. Traveling with him were not only him and Duocai, but also four royal guards, as well as the Lord of Haoshi City and his two subordinates. The group did not travel long distances, but relied on the teleportation array in the city. After traveling through two demon cities, they arrived at Dragon City in the afternoon of that day.
If Golden Feather City is the city of the Demon Lord, Dragon City is the city of the Demon Lord. Sure enough, it occupies a wider area and is more prosperous and grand. People come and go in the inns and wine shops, but a butcher shop is empty, and the shopkeeper His expression is also quite strange, he...
Yu Ye was suddenly startled.
Duocai on the side saw a strange look on his face and asked curiously: "Hey, have you been to Dragon City?"
Yu Ye's eyes passed over the butcher's shopkeeper, and he pretended to be unintentional and said, "This city is surrounded by mountains, like a blue dragon waiting to fly, it's breathtaking!"
"Giggle!"
Duocai smiled and whispered: "I'm here for the first time too. Looking for a wine shop tonight to enjoy it?"
Yu Ye shook his head.
"Hmph, you are really boring!"
During this trip to Dragon City, several seniors were responsible for everything. Duocai didn't have any worries. Instead, she was quite happy because of Yu Ye's company. However, the other party is taciturn and not as good as the old fox from Qiongshan who knows how to please people.
Before they had gone far, two demon cultivators blocked the way, saying that they were here to greet them on the orders of the demon lord, and then placed everyone in an inn. Demon King Chunyu and the four royal guards rested on their own. Hao Shi, Yu Ye and Duocai gave some instructions, and the group from Fengdu City settled down.
The so-called inn is located at the foot of the mountain in the north of the city. Although it also has a wine shop and kitchen, the guest room is a row of grottoes, shrouded in a formation, and can only be entered and exited with a forbidden sign. It is obviously a place specially built for demon cultivators.
Yu Ye's residence was a cave near the courtyard wall. It was dark, narrow, and poorly furnished. He closed the door, walked to the couch and sat down, looking at the spirit ring in his hand and thinking silently.
After breaking up with Guanyi and others, Yu Lingjie became free and now became Qiong Shan's residence. I wonder if he is lonely alone.
The Yuling Ring once housed hundreds of thorn-eating martens, and the space was spacious enough. But I saw that the empty and dark place was lit up with pearl light. There were wooden couches, wooden tables, animal skin mattresses and a bunch of wine jars. There was also an old man sitting alone, pouring and drinking, looking leisurely and happy.
Hey, no matter when and where, whether it is a dark dungeon or a small ring, that old fox will never wrong him!
But someone has become a shopkeeper and manages the business of selling meat. It seems to be very difficult and aggrieved...
After dark.
Yu Ye walked out of the guest room.
Hao Shi had told him that he was not allowed to leave Longcheng without permission, but there was no harm in wandering around in the city.
Across the courtyard is the street.
And on the side of the street outside the courtyard gate, there was a graceful figure standing. When he looked back and looked around, he suddenly jumped for joy and said with a smile: "Gee, as I expected, you are really pretending again. Find a restaurant, let's go - "
Duocai had already rejected Duocai's invitation before, but who would have thought that she would be waiting outside the hospital.
Yu Ye couldn't avoid it, so he had to walk forward with his hands behind his back, but he secretly sent a message: "This time is different from the past, listen to my orders in everything!"
"Uh-huh!"
Duocai nodded in agreement.
After walking through a few streets, they found nothing unusual. They found a restaurant to eat and drink, and then wandered on the street.
After a while, they gradually came to the south of the city and turned into an alley. One person was waiting in the dark, and the other walked through the wall...
In the blink of an eye, a small courtyard appeared in front of them. The ground was filled with filth and covered with animal skins and bones, but there was not a single person in sight.
Suddenly I heard a message——
"Junior Brother Yu, there is a cellar in the house..."
Yu Ye pushed open the door, and there was indeed a hole in the ground. He walked down the wooden ladder, which was a cellar with a radius of three feet.
, three people stood under the dim light, all with wide eyes. You Qi, the leader of the old man, looked at him intently, his beard trembling, and he said with surprise: "Junior brother Yu, I told Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi that you showed up in Longcheng. They couldn't believe it. I guarantee that you will definitely come. I have been waiting for this moment since afternoon, and I have finally been waiting for you!"
The old man was covered in dirt, wearing a sarong and a messy beard. He looked like an old butcher shopkeeper. And his joyful expression, familiar words, and call of "Junior Brother Yu" are the same as before.
The other two middle-aged men were also covered in blood and looked haggard. Although they were slightly hesitant, they also looked happy and said one after another——
"For the sect master and fellow Taoist, it is indeed you..."
"And you..."
In the eyes of the three people, Yu Ye was dressed in a black robe, with an identity token tied around his waist. His hair was neatly tied in a neat bun, and his angular face was smiling. He was obviously the former junior brother and the famous demon in Yanzhou. The master of the door is now different from what he used to be and is unpredictable.
Yu Ye was also looking at the three fellow Taoists, then looked at the dirty cellar, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect to see Senior Brother Wen again. You, Brother Guo and Brother Sheng must have suffered a lot, and I was in Long The city can only stay for three days. To make a long story short, how did the three of you get here, and how do you want me to help you?"
At the beginning of their reunion in a different place, he was asked to be so frank with each other because the shopkeeper of the butcher shop was not someone else, but Wen Gui. The other two guys also came from extraordinary backgrounds. They were Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi, the Nascent Soul elders of Tianfu Sect, and were his once most powerful opponents.
"Junior brother, my life is hard..."
Wen Gui waved his hand and said in a tearful tone: "My senior brother, Huang Zhuo from the Tianfu Sect, and Chi Hai from the Demon Sect have all been killed. Chi Li has fled without a trace. I, Guo Xuan, and Sheng Huaizi have joined forces to break out of the siege. Who will I thought that there were either ferocious beasts or demon cultivators everywhere, and I had no way to escape for a while. Fortunately, I was very resourceful. I killed several demon cultivators, saved a butcher shop owner, and used his name to lurk in Dragon City. And there were even more masters in the city. Like clouds, the three of us are worried every day and terrified every night..."
The survivors of the battle at Netherworld Gate all suffered hardships. However, Wen Gui was so shrewd that he chose the most dangerous place to hide. Instead, he lurked in Dragon City and had to slaughter livestock all day long and hide his identity with blood. The hardship and forbearance were really not easy.
"...and the three of us are not just living an ignoble existence, we are just trying to find out the news and find our lost Taoist friends. It is learned that the people who drove the evil dragons to commit crimes back then were Jiuzhi and Jiubao. The two demon kings went deep into the Demon Realm to attack Tianjiao City. , Demon Lord was furious because of this..."
After the disaster, Wen Gui met Yu Ye again, with endless suffering and endless past events.
Yu Ye did not dare to stay for long, and interrupted loudly: "My surviving Taoist friends from Yanzhou are all in Muying Valley. The three brothers can go and meet each other!"
"Oh, are there any surviving fellow Taoists? And where are you going?"
"I do what I'm told and know nothing else."
"Wen's senior uncle is gone, and now there is only one junior brother Yu. No matter where you go, brother, I will be with you life and death!"
"Brother Guo, Brother Sheng...?"
"Alas, the master of my Tianfu Sect is gone too!"
"The two of us respect the strong and have always respected our brothers. We are willing to follow you around and share weal and woe!"
"It's a pity that this butcher shop..."
"Take all your belongings and meat away with you. When will you and I leave the city?"
After years of hard work, the way out is now in sight. Wen Gui, Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi can't wait.
Yu Ye raised the spirit ring in his right hand and said: "There is no need to leave the city, there is a universe here..."
Wen Gui suddenly turned bitter and said, "You...you let the three of us hide in the ring that contains the spiritual beasts?"
"Um!"
"Hmph, what a world at your fingertips..."
