Night, outside the wooden city.
Po Mao Mountain.
In a very remote mountain depression, all kinds of monsters gather here. The weak ones are comparable to those in the early stage of Qi training, while the powerful ones are as strong as the monster generals in the Nascent Soul stage.
And that demon general was a one-legged demon beast with a cow's head and human body. He was six feet tall, with his body covered by thick hair. His body was hunched over, and he was holding a stone stick thicker than a big tree in his hand.
"Today we are gathered here to mourn our king and to discuss revenge for the king." The demon general blew out hot smoke from his nostrils and said in a dull voice like thunder.
"The Lord of Wooden City, Bei Gongxian! Our enemy led a group of butchers to ravage us, not giving us a moment of peace, and killed our king and all the powerful men! Fortunately, my king tried his best before he died. , severely damaged it, and now Mucheng has no power to resist, it is our time to take revenge!"
The demon general took two steps forward, revealing several humans hiding on the stone platform behind him.
Those few human beings were bare-chested and extremely tall, and were tied to tall wooden stakes on the stone platform.
The butcher mentioned by the demon general is not a human butcher, but refers to the army that conquered them. The original demon king of Po Mao Mountain was killed by Bei Gongxian, the lord of Mucheng City.
"We, the monsters of Po Mao Mountain, only want peace and quiet, but the human monks have gone too far to bully others. They slaughtered the wilderness with the help of a god-transformation monk like Bei Gongxian! They have captured the weak beings of our clan and caused misfortune to us! Today, I will behead them and formally declare war on Mucheng!"
The general meaning of the demon language is that they can't bear it anymore and want to use the captured demon-catching monks to sacrifice the flag, and then fight with Mucheng.
Suddenly, the demons were excited, and the noisy voices were all in agreement.
They also can't stand it anymore. Instead of being on guard day and night, they might as well take advantage of this period to kill and get more blood essence to improve their cultivation. Maybe they can end these dark days!
A huge scorpion demon climbed onto the stone platform, its huge tail stinger swinging in the air.
"Kill!" the demon general shouted dully.
The scorpion demon received the order and controlled its tail stinger to stab the first human.
"Help...Help!" A group of humans were so frightened that they lost consciousness. They just made a powerless voice out of their desire to survive.
But right now.
A loud voice came.
"Wait!"
Immediately afterwards, a blood-red figure jumped down from the high cliff under the moonlight and attacked the demon group.
This person was wearing a dark red and black windbreaker, a hood connected to the top, and was holding a huge and terrifying blood-colored long-handled scythe in his hand, like the god of death descending.
The scorpion demon did not listen to his words, and its sharp and poisonous tail stinger was about to pierce the chest of the human on the stake.
The visitor became anxious and swung the sickle in his hand. Then, he held the long handle with both hands and swung it at the scorpion demon.
There was still a few tens of meters between the two, but the sickle separated from one-third of the handle, flew towards the scorpion demon quickly, and then caught the scorpion demon's tail stinger like a hook.
The visitor grabbed the handle of the sickle and pulled hard, so that the scorpion demon could no longer hurt anyone. A closer look revealed that there was a very thin silver chain connecting the flying sickle head to the remaining handle.
The person who came then relied on the power generated by retracting the chain to bring him over, while holding on to the scorpion demon.
"Who! How dare you break into Po Mao Mountain alone!" The demon general shouted, and raised the stone stick in his hand to hit the flying people.
"I don't mean any harm, I just hope you won't intensify the conflict!" the visitor shouted, his voice sounded very young both times, proving that he was not very old.
But the stone stick still hit the chain, throwing away the targets on both ends. The scorpion demon flew into the sky, but the one who came was thrown onto the stone platform.
His hood was blown down by the wind, revealing a stream of long hair hanging behind him.
I thought I could see his true appearance, but who knew that he came prepared? There was also a silver ghost mask under the hood that covered most of his face.
The demon general felt a little embarrassed and sorry for beating up the scorpion demon, but when it saw the silver mask, it was stunned.
"Is that you? It's been a long time no see." The demon general immediately calmed down and no longer seemed to regard the visitor as a hostile human being.
The group of demons below were also excited, but most of them were not cultivated enough to speak human words, so it was unclear what they said. Looking at their performance, it seemed that many of them were full of gratitude.
"Silver-faced Judge, are you going to rescue these humans today just like you rescued us from humans? But you should know that our current hatred cannot be quelled by just a few words!" the demon general said with a heavy breath.
It can be concluded from its words that the man in front of him, known as the Silver-faced Judge, has saved demons enslaved by humans many times.
"I know what Bei Gongxian did, and I also know the suffering you have suffered, but anger is not the only way to solve it. You will only lose both sides! Bei Gongxian is injured now, but Mucheng's defense system is not what he imagined. I'm afraid that if you kill these humans today, and then go to the city in a mighty manner, most of them will be killed by the magic circle! Are you just willing to risk your lives just to vent your anger? I admit that I don't care either. I am not here entirely for you. I also want to protect the people outside Mucheng! They are not the ones who use violence against you, and there is no need to be the target of your revenge. But if you do this, you will only lose your life and hurt innocent people! This is my Don’t want to see it!”
"Give me some time and please let these humans go. Although they have made mistakes, they still have a chance to change. Killing them will not help. If you believe me, please let me take them away. I can use my I promise you with my life that there will never be any enslavement of demons in Mucheng in the future!"
The demon general pondered for a long time, as if he was making a difficult decision.
"We don't believe in humans, but simply believe in you! Your Excellency Silver-faced Judge, I don't understand why you do this. It's very difficult to be in the middle. If there is hope, I would be willing to live in peace with you."
…
The sky in Mucheng lit up as usual, and people got up one after another to start a new life for the day. But what they didn't know was that this awakening was the result of a man risking his life to break into Po Mao Mountain to seek peace.
"Huh? Yesterday I saw someone selling monster beasts. Today, a notice was posted prohibiting the capture of monster beasts. The poster signed by Bei Gongyuan also funded the purchase of existing monster beasts in the city. What happened?" Situ Wuya exited. I was shopping for breakfast upstairs when I happened to see a notice posted on the outside wall of the inn.
"Wait, Bei Gongyuan? Have I heard this person's name somewhere?" Situ Wuya fell into deep thought.
"Hiss... It seems that Han Xing is a friend he made after leaving Feiyun Sect. He is the son of the Lord of Mucheng. His talent can be said to be relatively high among the supporting characters, but he has devoted his life to peace between humans and monsters. The plot behind it seems to be... Oops, I forgot about it. The later part of the original work was quite boring. I listened to the book while I was sleeping. I fell asleep while listening and missed a lot of the plot." Situ Wuya didn't have a deep impression of this person. He only knew that it was the same. A main supporting role.
Without thinking too much, I bought breakfast and returned to the inn. When Xiao Lingling woke up, she saw the hot breakfast.
Situ Wuya and Xiao Lingling spent three days witnessing the prosperity of Mucheng. During this period, everything was calm. It seemed that Bei Gongyuan exercised many powers and successfully suppressed the conflicts while his father was in seclusion and recuperating.
Situ Wuya, who knew the direction of the plot, naturally admired this man. The monk originally advocated escaping from the world and having less to do with the world, but he chose to join the world. He was a great talent who was more suitable to be the city lord than his father.
But he didn't know that what Bei Gongyuan did at this time had been changed by the butterfly effect.
"Elder brother, shall we set off tomorrow?" Xiao Lingling asked.
"Having stayed here for so many days, it's really time to set off." Situ Wuya nodded, feeling that time was enough.
Next, even if he went all the way, Xiao Lingling would not have time to finish those things.
It's been seven days since I left, and I still have about four days to go.
…
Five days later.
Outside Qingfeng City.
Looking at the tall and magnificent city gate, Situ Wuya was filled with emotion.
The city gate is more than ten feet long, and it is made of bricks made of green clay. It is extremely hard and covered with a magic circle. It cannot be destroyed unless you are at the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, Situ Wuya's golden bell is an exception. As long as he throws it high enough and the impact force of the dive is strong enough, the power of the explosion will be greater.
However, just as he finished his emotion, a headache-inducing system prompt sounded in his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement - a small step towards the world (reaching five cities in total)"
"Get the reward: "Feng Lin Xia Ling" joint combat skill - "Breaking Formation Map"!"
"Huh?" Situ Wuya frowned, then blurted out: "Is it your home?"
Xiao Lingling thought her senior brother was talking to her, so she was stunned, nodded, and said, "This is my home!"
Situ Wuya waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened, and asked Xiao Lingling to lead the way, and then he began to study the combat skills he had just acquired.
This time it's not a skill, but a combat skill, because this skill is not a setting in the original work, but comes from another novel, with a wonderful linkage.
"The formation-breaking diagrams are here! Isn't this one of the three magical skills in the later stage of "Fenglinxialing"? The protagonist He Muqing has this so that he is not afraid of group attacks, and can face a group of enemies with ease..." Situ Wuya was speechless.
When I looked at the skill introduction, it was exactly as I thought.
"Form Breaking Diagram": Not afraid of group attacks, formation nemesis, able to break all formations.
Although the introduction is very simple and almost clear at a glance, this thing is completely conceptual. As we all know, there is no weak concept.
"And this thing is still passive after being given to me. All my contacts will have a breaking effect on the formation, including if I accidentally touch the city wall now, the complex formation on it will instantly disintegrate..."
"I'm sorry! Doesn't Han Xing have a side job specializing in practicing formations? Don't wait until then..." Situ Wuya was sweating profusely.
Xiao Lingling was walking in front and did not notice anything unusual about Situ Wuya. She just clenched her fists and said firmly silently: "Father and mother, my daughter is late when she comes back, but her daughter will definitely make those who persecute you pay the price!"
It's not just Xiao Xiaotian, the uncle of the Xiao family, who is involved behind this. Strictly speaking, Xiao Xiaotian is just a chess piece. There are people behind him who support and instigate.
Otherwise, he alone would not be able to induce Xiao Lingling's parents to go to such a dangerous place, and they would still go there even after they knew the danger and sent Xiao Lingling away in a solitary manner.
Where, why on earth had to go, it was worth it for them to know that they would die and not look back.
Xiao Lingling didn't care about this, she only knew how to take revenge step by step, following the instructions in the dream to get rid of her enemy!
Although he is still too weak, killing Xiao Xiaotian is enough!
