Since Emperor Xuanyang searched for immortals all over the country to no avail a few years ago, he spoke out the ten words that made all the monks in the world tremble with fear -
"There is no justice in the world. If anyone talks nonsense again, he will die!"
This sentence caused countless people to fall to the ground, all the monastic classics were burned, and the Taoist lineage was severed. From now on, no one in the world dared to mention a word.
So until now, even though there are so many strange things happening in the city, and even though everyone knows that everyone is always in danger, no one has ever dared to say the word "monster" blatantly in public.
Just because no one said it, it didn't mean that no one knew about it. Many people had even secretly worshiped the City God at home, hoping that the monster would not come to their homes.
Now, not only ordinary people, but even Bai Yue has become suspicious. If all this is really related to monsters, how will he deal with it?
You must know that when His Majesty searched for immortals throughout the country, he was also personally involved. Naturally, he knew very well whether there were any immortal cultivators in this world.
If it is true that there are immortal cultivators, then how is it possible that there are no clues at all?
But without a cultivator, how can I deal with those monsters that may exist? Is it possible to rely on weapons?
"boom!!"
Thinking of this, Bai Yue felt upset and slapped the armrest with his palm, causing cracks in it.
"Someone is coming!"
He gave the order, and guards in armor immediately ran in from outside the hall.
"Go and find that boy Xing Rilong right away! I, the city lord, have some things to ask him personally!"
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
After a twenty-minute flight, Liu Ye and his party finally crossed hundreds of kilometers and arrived at Hanyue City.
Because the purpose of coming this time was to hold the Immortal Fate Conference and recruit disciples, Master Liu did not deliberately hide his whereabouts like before, but flew into the city in broad daylight. go.
It's a pity that due to the rumors caused by the monsters this month, Liu Ye's actions did not have the expected effect.
Although it was early in the morning, there were not many people on the street. The road surface was very desolate, and those who didn't know better thought there was going to be a war.
Even if someone saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, the flying sword was so fast that they had landed before they could see them clearly, making them think that there was something wrong with their eyes.
"Is this Hanyue City... But why is it so deserted? It's not as prosperous as the village elder said..."
Among the crowd, only Li Mu came here for the first time. He was looking around at the surrounding environment, looking like a curious baby.
Pei Laoliu was also a little confused and couldn't help but look at Yan Jiantong aside.
"Zi Yuan, did you look like this when you left Hanyue City last time?"
Ziyuan is Yan Jiantong's nickname. He shook his head when he heard this, saying that such a situation had never happened.
"It's strange that when we came, we passed through the north gate of Hanyue City. I saw that the entrance was closed and there were no pedestrians on the road. I thought we had arrived early. The curfew had just ended and we hadn't had time to open the city gate..."
"But I didn't expect it to be the same in this city. It's obviously time for the morning market soon, but why are the streets empty? Could it be that there's going to be a war? Or is there a plague in the city?"
As he spoke, Pei Laoliu stroked his beard and looked at the surrounding situation. The more he looked, the more confused he became.
"This... I don't know the reason yet. Why don't we go find some common people and ask?"
Compared to the beginning, Yan Jiantong is more respectful to Master Liu now.
After all, he is now an outer disciple of the sect, and the Sixth Master is the elder, so naturally he can no longer get along with him as before.
Pei Laoliu was quite helpless about this, and after trying to correct it to no avail, he let him go.
A few people thought about it for a while, and immediately found a house on the roadside, planning to find someone to ask about the situation here.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"..."
Li Qiang knocked on several houses in succession, but received no response from any of them. The doors on the entire street were closed, as if there was no one in the house at all.
"No, there is someone in this room."
Liu Ye's ears twitched slightly, and he could already hear the sparse movement in the house.
Yan Jiantong on the side also heard it. Although he was not a cultivator, he was one of the top masters in the world. He could still tell whether there was anyone in the house.
"These people...why are they unwilling to open the door? Great Elder, why don't I jump over the wall of the courtyard and go in to find someone to find out?"
He is a big demon that everyone in the world wants to beat up. Although he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately, he has no taboos in his actions, so naturally he will not be too polite to these people.
Pei Laoliu thought for a while and said:
"Well, we are here to hold the Immortal Fate Conference this time. Although we don't care about this little detail, since the host doesn't want to see us, we won't force it anymore and go to the front to have a look."
He said and walked out immediately, followed by the other three, and the group just started walking on this empty street.
"Huh~"
A gust of cool wind blew by, bringing up pieces of dust.
It was obviously midsummer, but there seemed to be a bone-deep chill hidden in the wind.
"Something's wrong...something's wrong..."
Pei Laoliu felt more and more strange the further he walked, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"Master Liu, what's wrong?"
Yan Jiantong stopped and asked.
I saw Mr. Liu suddenly pinching the spell with his hands, closing his eyes to make sense. Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"What a monster!"
Pei Laoliu's expression changed, he was surprised and confused.
"I've just sensed an unusual aura before entering the city, but I didn't expect that there would be such a huge demonic aura in this city!"
"Evil spirit!?"
The three people were all surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Master Liu to say this suddenly.
"Master Liu, are you saying that there is a monster in Hanyue City? Is it possible that the city is like this because of that monster?"
Yan Jiantong asked carefully.
Li Qiang on the side also closed his eyes and tried to sense it for a moment, but his cultivation was still shallow. Although he had the spiritual root of spiritual cultivation, he had only just begun to practice qi, and he could not sense anything at all.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Yan Jiantong said, Pei Laoliu shook his head and said:
"No, it's not as simple as you said... I just took a closer look. The demonic energy in Hanyue City is soaring, and there are spiritual fluctuations coming from all directions... I'm afraid... there is far more than one monster in the city. ah……"
As soon as he said this, everyone on the side was stunned, and then looked around with disbelief. They did not expect that this would be the situation here.
Yan Jiantong and others naturally believed in Liu Ye's words. After all, Tianyuan Sect should be the most authoritative in this regard in the world.
As the great elder of Tianyuan Sect, Master Liu is certainly right when he says there are monsters here.
"Then...Sixth Master, what should we do now? Will the Immortal Fate Conference be convened...?"
Li Mu was straightforward and even asked the core question.
Yan Jiantong slapped his head and said angrily:
"Hanyue City looks like this now. You can't even see anyone on the road. How can we hold a conference?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Pei Laoliu and asked:
"Sixth Master, how strong are these monsters? Can we handle them?"
Pei Laoliu closed his eyes again and felt it, and then said:
"Although this city has a huge amount of monster energy, it is relatively complicated. Compared to the small monsters that have just transformed into monsters, it may be a little more troublesome to deal with, but it won't make us retreat..."
When he said this, he glanced in the direction of the city center in the distance and continued:
"It's just... that location is full of demons, and there seems to be a huge demon sitting there. Even if I deal with it, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult..."
Mr. Liu's face was extremely solemn.
Although he usually likes to brag, when faced with such a critical issue, he will not make big talk without thinking.
The three people fell silent when they heard this. They really didn't expect to encounter such a thing when they came to Hanyue City. This was completely different from what they expected.
After Pei Laoliu thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"The evil spirits are causing trouble in Hanyue City. Although it is unexpected, it is an opportunity..."
"Master Liu, what do you mean?"
"Think about it, we are here to hold the Immortal Fate Conference. We originally needed to do some advertising and the like, but now that we have these monsters, as long as we can eliminate them, wouldn't that be the best publicity? ?”
"At that time, as long as everyone hears about our deeds, they will naturally know how powerful our Tianyuan Sect is. Do you still worry about being left out by then?"
After the three people heard what he said, they were all stunned before they realized what Mr. Liu meant.
Although they could not understand the meanings of many words in Liuye's paintings, their intentions could still be seen based on the overall logic.
"Sixth Master, you have a good idea, but if this is the case... there are too many monsters in the city, will you encounter trouble... Yan knows some martial arts skills, or let Yan come and give it to you Let’s start…”
Pei Laoliu thought for a while and then said:
"No, this place is dangerous. It's not advisable to stay for a long time. I'd better send the three of you to Hui Tianyuan Sect first."
Li Qiang and Li Mu looked very regretful after hearing this, but Yan Jiantong tried hard to win over them. In the end, Master Liu thought that flying back and forth was very draining on his spiritual energy, so he nodded and agreed to their request that they could stay with him for the time being. , but you need to find an inn to stay first.
Later, Liu Ye waved his hand and summoned Dahei and Xiaobai, letting them follow him and others, which was an extra fighting force.
When the dog and the fox were summoned, they were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, looking like they were meditating seriously. People who didn't know it thought they were sitting down and sleeping.
In fact, what Liuye didn't know was that in Tianyuan Mountain hundreds of kilometers away, Jiujiu was leading them to play with him and practice some cultivation.
Seeing that the two little followers had been summoned away at this moment, the little fox suddenly became unhappy. He puffed up his cheeks and searched for them all over the mountains and plains. In the end, he somehow knew the whereabouts of the dog and the fox, and they were wandering around. The ground flew towards the direction of Hanyue City.
"Dahei, Xiaobai, how are you? Can you feel the auras around you?"
Pei Laoliu asked these two little guys.
"Woof woof woof!"
"嘤嘤嘤!"
The black and white guys also gave the answer immediately. Although the shouts from both sides seemed a bit inconsistent, Liu Ye could hear the meaning in his ears.
"Sure enough, what I speculated is correct. These monsters do not come from the same monster. They should be a large number of monsters lurking in Hanyue City..."
Pei Laoliu got a positive answer and immediately started taking action, leading the other three people to find an inn to settle down.
The place they landed this time was very close to when Mr. Liu came two months ago, so they simply found the inn where they had lunch, and planned to find a few rooms here to stay.
It's just like other places. After arriving here, everyone was not surprised to find that they didn't open the door. The thick mahogany door was tightly closed. It seemed that the inn had been closed for a while.
"No, there is no dust on the handrail of the door. It should be caused by someone coming in and out frequently... Mr. Liu, please wait for a moment while I ask for details."
Yan Jiantong observed very carefully and noticed the anomaly on the door from a distance. After hugging Pei Laoliu, he strode towards the inn.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"..."
There was a series of knocks on the door, but the door of the inn was always closed.
However, Yan Jiantong did not give up easily. After knocking dozens of times, there was finally movement from behind the door.
"Squeak~"
I saw a small wooden board on the door panel was lifted, and an eye appeared behind it.
"Shopkeeper, please open the door quickly. There are four of us who need to stay overnight."
Yan Jiantong spoke first.
As soon as he finished speaking, the small wooden board slammed shut again, but just like other places, after everyone arrived here, they found that they did not open the door, and the thick mahogany door was tightly closed. Yes, it seems that the inn has been closed for a while.
"No, there is no dust on this section of the handrail on the door. It should be caused by people coming in and out frequently... Mr. Liu, please wait for a moment and let me ask clearly." But just like other places, after everyone came here, , and was not surprised to find that they did not open the door. The thick mahogany door was tightly closed. It seemed that the inn had been closed for a while.
"No, there is no dust on the handrail of the door. It should be caused by someone coming in and out frequently... Mr. Liu, please wait for a moment while I ask for details."
