Chapter 278: Demon Cult’s Handiwork
Everyone walked out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and soon arrived at the gate. To everyone's surprise, the leader turned out to be an old acquaintance. It was Dalamt who pretended to attack Loulan City that day.
If Qi Chengcheng hadn't arrived that day with a group of veterans from the Shenfeng Camp, it was very likely that the city would have been breached by this stern man wearing a golden ring. You must know that any gap or omission in the siege battle will be an irreversible disadvantage for the defending party.
"Why are you here?!" Qi Chengcheng led his soldiers to fight against Dalamt in person, so he naturally recognized the person at a glance. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
The surrounding city guards were also on guard. After all, the opponent was a warrior in the Xia Zhi realm. Even if there were many experts here, there would inevitably be mistakes. However, Xiao Yuanfeng, who was surrounded by everyone, was very calm.
"It seems you have known each other before!"
Suddenly a sneer came from behind Dalamt. Behind this tall and sinister man, there were more than a dozen strong men in the same horse thief attire, and this sneer came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a figure turned out from behind Dalamt. It was Yi Xifeng who was wearing a raincoat and a wide-brimmed bamboo hat. He looked at Qi Chengcheng, the leader, with a half-smile, and then turned to Lin Fenghuo, who was walking forward quickly.
As an absolute best friend, Lin Fenghuo recognized Yi Xifeng when he spoke. However, Qi Chengcheng, who had been separated for many years, did not react for a while. After all, in his impression, Yi Xifeng still looked like the fair-skinned young man five years ago, and it was difficult to equate him with the handsome young man in front of him. It was just the familiarity between his eyebrows that made him a little undecided.
Lin Fenghuo had just said goodbye to Yi Xifeng at the Qingyun Sword Tomb some time ago. Unexpectedly, within a few months, the two would meet again.
"Haha, you are the only one who would come up with such a weird name, woodcutter in the Western Regions." Lin Fenghuo walked up, laughed and patted the other party on the shoulder.
"Is it weird? That's because you don't understand the meaning of useless." Yi Xifeng explained with a half-smile.
Lin Fenghuo smiled and shook his head. The two grew up together, so they naturally knew that Yi Xifeng liked to say some "weird" words and come up with some "interesting" words since he was a child. As time went by, he would naturally be able to understand them better.
On the contrary, the other people present did not have such a tacit understanding as the two of them. Naturally, they could not understand the conversation between the two, and they did not understand where the word "waste" came from.
"Haha, I have long heard that a swordsman genius came out of the Zhenwu Dao Palace. I think this is the one that shopkeeper Qi mentioned!" Xiao Yuanfeng, as the Lord of Loulan City, saw this woodcutter dressed in a very unusual way, and he actually met Qi. Cheng Cheng and Lin Fenghuo were familiar with each other, so they naturally thought of what Wu Li saw and heard at the Qingyun Sword Tomb and his party after he returned.
The fair-skinned young man in front of him wearing a raincoat and bamboo hat should be the swordsman genius recognized by the ancient sword.
Yi Xifeng could tell that this middle-aged man was somewhat special just from his clothes. Combined with the surrounding city guards who firmly protected this man, his identity was clearly revealed.
"Young man Yi Xifeng, I have met City Master Xiao! It's just that my sect has a destiny this time and I won't see the public as a mountain sect, so I didn't accept the invitation. Please forgive me, City Master Xiao." Yi Xifeng cupped his hands and replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanfeng quickly raised his hands and replied: "Yi Shaoxia is interested."
Although Xiao Yuanfeng is the lord of the city, his actual status is as low as that of the Zhenwu Dao Palace. If Yi Xifeng really came to see him as an inner disciple, he, City Master Xiao, would also go out to greet him. If the elder of the sect comes, it is probably only fair that he, the city leader, has to go out of the city to greet him.
The high status of the eight sects in the world can be seen from this. Back then, Luo Yun Sect sent an inner sect elder, Zhou Yuanyi, whose true identity was the ancestor of the Ji family, one of the six major families of Luo Yun Kingdom. To put it into detail, he can be regarded as the great-uncle of Luoye City Lord Ji Shenfu.
When Ji Shen helped meet Elder Zhou, he acted completely passively, as if he had the power of life and death in his hands, and had no trace of the majestic aura that once dominated Luoye County.
In the final analysis, this is a direct demonstration of the strength of the forces behind it.
…
Everyone did not exchange too many greetings. Seeing that the visitor was not an outsider, they brought Yi Xifeng and others into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The people sat on both sides in turn. Yi Xifeng was a guest after all, so he naturally sat first on Xiao Yuanfeng's left hand. Daramt, who came with him, did not sit down with him, but stood behind Yi Xifeng, completely guarding him.
Qi Chengcheng turned his head and looked at the golden-ringed man with whom he had fought a few days ago, and asked Yi Xifeng with some curiosity: "Madman, where did you pull this old onion?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped the tall golden-ringed man.
Yi Xifeng naturally knew Qi Chengcheng's urinary temperament. He had been very stubborn since he was a child. Although he had grown taller and his facial features had become more handsome after five years of absence, his lazy temperament had not changed at all.
"If Dean Chen knew that you were still like this, he would probably regret letting you come to the Western Regions for training." Yi Xifeng said without answering, minding his own business.
Hearing him mention Chen Chuantuo, Qi Chengcheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
When everyone first arrived at Xiaoyuan Academy, Qi Chengcheng was "played by" Dean Chen who liked to present himself as a young scholar. There is also a fine tradition of being stunned by the other person's sesame cake when they first meet. This left an indelible mark on Qi Chengcheng's heart!
"Come on, you're pretty, you're chatting to death again!" Immediately he didn't dare to talk casually.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was also stunned, and their evaluation of Yi Xifeng instantly rose a lot. No matter who the dean Chen is, Yi Xifeng's method alone is admirable!
Lin Fenghuo naturally knew the clues, but he just grinned and asked, "Tell me your plan."
Yi Xifeng thought for a moment and said, "Loulan City should be targeted by the Demon Sect."
"What!"
Xiao Yuanfeng blurted out, obviously he was deeply touched by the news.
City Lord Xiao actually started investigating these matters a long time ago, but ultimately failed, and most of the spies sent out failed to return safely. But it happened that there was no news, but he found clues.
Since the riot in Loulan City, he has stepped up the training of city guards and scouts. However, no matter how many people are sent out and how elite the force is, things will soon lose contact as soon as they have the slightest clue.
However, the last news or directions from these missing scouts or intelligence personnel were undoubtedly not from the Demon Sect.
However, Xiao Yuanfeng has never had reliable evidence to judge whether it is a demonic sect or a divine sect.
