The lord of Shanyue City is a woman in her thirties named Sang Lan.
After learning that Zhang Xiaoyu had spread the news in the city, he remained silent for a long time, then looked at Zhuxi standing on the forest road in the mansion and said softly: "Is the Heavenly Prison ready?"
Zhuxi said in a deep voice: "Heavenly Prison has blocked all parties' routes out of the city, and is conducting strict investigations in the city to ensure that the news will not spread quickly."
Sang Lan just shook his head slightly, looked up at the night, and said slowly: "That's not what I'm talking about."
Zhu Xi's face was still a little pale, which came from the back injury after attacking Zhang Xiaoyu. When he heard Sang Lan's words, he frowned.
"What do you mean, Lord City Lord?"
Sang Lan looked up at Shan Yue, walked to the door of the city lord's mansion that had not been closed since Zhuxi came in, looked at the long street outside the mansion, and said in a heavy tone: "Suppress the demon tribe's rebellion."
Zhuxi said with some astonishment: "The demon clan has not yet rebelled. They cannot afford the chaos, so they will strike first. Even if they do not rebel, they will be forced to rebel by the city lord."
Although Sang Lan did not look like the kind of resolute woman, she still said in a deep voice at this time: "This city is a quiet place, and all the garrison outside the city have been transferred to Nanyi City, and there are only nearly a thousand city guards. , if the news really leaks out, and the demon tribes inside and outside the city really start to rebel, Shanyue City may not be able to withstand that wave of impact."
Zhuxi fell silent. Although Sang Lan's words were a bit alarmist, he had to admit that it was indeed the case.
"Zhang Xiaoyu must have taken a fancy to this, so he came to Shanyue City to release the news." Sang Lan frowned and looked at Yeyue Street, and said coldly: "What's more, Shanyue is the first person to release the news. The place where the outbreak occurs may not lead to the arrival of monsters in the human world."
Sang Lan seemed to be talking to Zhuxi, and also seemed to be making a decision for himself, then turned to look at Zhuxi, took out an Order of the Mountain and Moon from his arms, and said: "Next, I will grant the Temporary Order of Heavenly Prison Control.”
Zhuxi looked at the token in Sang Lan's hand. It was something granted by His Majesty himself.
Heavenly Prison and the lords of each city are directly under His Majesty. Except for the weird place in Nanyi City, the status of the city lord who holds the secrets of a city is naturally higher than that of Heavenly Prison.
The higher part is the Shanyue Order in front of them. This is a secret order that can forcibly mobilize the defenders and take over all affairs in the city.
Zhuxi took the token and then heard Sang Lan continue.
"Go to Chengoji and get the list of monsters in Shanyue City. First, capture all the big monsters in the city. First, stabilize the situation in the city, and then see if there are any changes in the human world outside the city."
All the demon clans in the world are registered, just like everyone in the world. This is the behavior method that originally evolved from Huangliang. It is just a list of the world, there are open books and hidden books.
The Ming Book is a book of the same people and monsters, regardless of the two races.
The secret book is the book of the demon clan in the world.
There will be such a roster in the Chengdu Division of every city, but unless necessary, it is the most top-secret thing in the world.
If you retrieve it without authorization, you will face scrutiny from Huaidu.
But it is obvious that what is happening now, Shanyue City can only stabilize the turbulence to the greatest extent by taking a preemptive strike.
Even if Kamigawa does hold him accountable in the future, Sang Lan will still be justified.
Zhuxi held the token in his hand, looked at Sang Lan and nodded, saying, "Okay."
The cold spring breeze blows over the mountain moon.
Sang Lan looked at the Dean of Heavenly Prison in front of him and said softly: "The City Government Office is powerless to deal with the matter here, so we have to rely on Heavenly Prison."
This is naturally not something that the city government can do nothing about.
With the military power of the City Government Office in hand, it was naturally impossible to be powerless. However, too many of the human defenders were transferred to Nanyi City to guard the Huai'an Gate, which led to the woman in front of her feeling powerless.
Sang Lan is naturally not a cultivator, but just an ordinary person. He took over the position of city lord from his father.
Zhuxi was silent for a while, said nothing, nodded, turned around and walked away.
After Sang Lan left Zhuxi, he called a certain cultivator who was guarding Zhou Quan in the mansion. This was a sword cultivator from Lingnan.
He naturally heard the conversation between Sang Lan and Zhu Xi just now. He looked at Sang Lan solemnly and said, "Does the Lord of the City want me to go up the mountain?"
Sang Lan nodded and said: "Please take a trip to Lingnan, return to the first peak, and tell Sang Shanyue that something has happened in Shanyue City and Lingnan needs help."
The sword cultivator nodded, and then turned into a sword light in the night, piercing the night.
Although Shanyue City is sandwiched between mountains, it is naturally more closely related to Lingnan, which is much closer, rather than the Liuyun Sword Sect in the Liuyun Mountains to the north.
What's more, the leader of the current peak in Lingnan, Sang Shanyue, originally came from Shanyue City and was Sang Lan's sister.
After the sword cultivator left, Sang Lan summoned a group of government officials in the city. No one knew what happened suddenly in the city. Sang Lan did not explain in detail, but handed over the Shanyue Order. He told everyone what happened to Heaven Prison and asked them to prepare to cooperate with Heaven Prison's actions.
The only nearly a thousand city guards in the city, under Sang Lan's mobilization, began to come to the city from the mountain camp outside the city.
Sang Lan was busy until late at night, and then went to the city head with fatigue. There were practitioners guarding him beside him. He stood on a high place and watched the moonlight all over the city fall towards the world, and the lights were lit and extinguished.
The whole city was agitated.
There were sounds of fighting in the streets from time to time.
Countless monsters living in the city were detained by the sudden arrival of Heavenly Prison officials and city guards. Naturally, Heavenly Prison could not keep so many people, so most of them had to be sent to Shanyue City Prison for temporary detention and isolation.
There was fatigue in Sang Lan's brows, but he still looked down at the whole city with frowning eyes in the night. Occasionally, some monsters who might have heard the news tried to escape far outside the city, but they were assisted by those cultivators at the top of the city. Next, he stopped and was politely sent to hell.
The demon clan that threatens the city naturally needs to be divided into two parts. Those who have already learned the news can only be guarded by being sent to the heavenly prison.
As for those who were sleepy, they were sent to the Shanyue City Prison by the people from the Heavenly Prison while saying sorry.
Because of Sang Lan's decisiveness, the turmoil in the city did not last long. After all, Shanyue City's Heavenly Prison was also a powerful force. With deliberate calculations and unintentional calculations, it was natural to first suppress the monsters in the city who were the same as the rest of the world. .
But Sang Lan knew it in her heart.
In today's spiritual world, people are naturally higher than demons.
But at the secular level, the power of the demon clan is far stronger than that of the world.
After all, he is born with demonic power, which is an advantage that no one in the world can compare with.
If the news really leaks to the world, the demon clan around Shanyue City will be in panic, and eight or nine groups will come to Shanyue City.
At that time, it was the most difficult period for Shanyue City.
Sang Lan looked up towards Lingnan.
I just hope there will be no chaos in Lingnan.
There are still 10,000 sword cultivators in Lingnan, including countless monsters. If Lingnan is also in chaos, both Nanyi City and Shanyue City will be affected.
As for Nanyi City, Sang Lan is not worried. Nanyi City currently has a large number of soldiers, and there are also the Human Sword Sect and Xuanxuyuan there, so the chaos will not go anywhere.
...
Tingfeng Yin and Gu Shanhong drank wine very comfortably under the increasingly full moonlight.
Gale Calendar One Thousand and Four Years is a good start.
Although many complicated things happened last year, everything is still moving in a good direction after all.
For example, Lingnan began to have recommended quotas for Xuanxuyuan.
For example, a certain young man defeated a cultivator in the minor realm.
Things that are in the smallest details are always easy to be satisfied in the subtleties.
Ting Fengyin was contentedly drinking wine and tapping the sword in front of him, while Gu Shanhong was also looking at the senior brother he had known for many years with a smile.
"Brother, how long do you think it will take from South Island to reach the East China Sea?"
Ting Fengyin smiled softly and said, "I don't know."
Although the answer was still similar to the first time he faced the human promise from the Human Sword Sect.
But this time, it was obviously very relaxing to listen to the wind.
That boy grew up much faster than they imagined.
Maybe it won't be long before, amidst the training of the human covenant, I will step into the realm of the small path and begin to truly stand on the water of the practice world and look at the human world.
Perhaps Jiang Ye's initial attitude was too decisive, which once made Ting Fengyin and the others feel that the Sword Sect in the World would never stop fighting until death.
Only to find out later.
The people guarding the mountain gate and the people walking around the world probably have different thoughts.
The most critical problem is that they are unfamiliar with it.
Therefore, he did not have enough emotional foundation to explode the murderous intention like Jiang Ye's for that young man's sword.
The atmosphere by Tingfeng Creek is naturally very pleasant.
After all, some rumors will not be heard for a while.
So when the two of them saw the first peak Sang Shanyue and the second peak Shen Qingmai rushing to Tingfeng Creek, Tingfeng Yin thought they smelled the peach blossom wine - it was sent by Lu Xiaoxiao not long ago. , the young man from Xuanxuyuan had already joined the Tianya Sword Sect. Lu Xiaoxiao and the others naturally understood what Ting Feng Yin meant, and specially sent some peach blossom wine to express their gratitude.
But when the two of them saw the extremely solemn look on Sang Shanyue's face, they realized something was wrong.
Gu Shanhong put down his wine glass, looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Shen Qingmo didn't say anything, but there was a hint of gnashing of teeth there.
Sang Shanyue, on the other hand, wanted to be calmer.
"Something happened in Shanyue City."
As soon as these words came out, Ting Fengyin and Gu Shanhong became confused.
If something happened to Nanyi City, they wouldn't be surprised.
That ancient city on earth has always been a troubled place.
On the other hand, what would happen to a city like Shanyue City that lives in a mountain?
But they soon found out.
"The Lame Deer Sword Sect incident was done by Zhang Xiaoyu."
Shen Qingmo said in a cold voice, his face seemed to be covered with moss, extremely gloomy and terrifying.
"He let the news out in Shanyue City."
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the two people who were drinking at the Moonlight Bridge could no longer sit still. They stood up with their swords in hand and stood there with a look of horror on their faces.
Sang Shanyue said slowly: "Just before, my sister-in-law sent people to Lingnan, firstly to tell Lingnan the news, and secondly to ask for help. Shanyue City's defenses are empty. If the demon clan riots nearby, great changes will occur. I have already Let the disciples of the First Peak and the Second Peak go to Shanyue City to assist in the defense. The matter now lies in Lingnan."
When Sang Shanyue said this, Ting Feng Yin and the others naturally understood.
Together, everyone stepped on the sword light to the top of the Lingnan peak. On Qifeng Mountain, standing there overlooking the world, there were also moonlight sword lights rising towards here in Lingnan. The masters of the sword sects from all over Lingnan probably heard it. Feng Yin and the others were startled by their movements, and hurried over, worried about what had happened.
Fortunately, there was no commotion in Lingnan at this time, but outside the distant mountains, in the city of the mountain and moon, there were some lingering firelights, swaying under the night moon.
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
"It seems that the news from Shanyue City has not reached Lingnan yet." Gu Shanhong said in a deep voice.
"What if it spreads to Lingnan? There are many demon cultivators in Lingnan." Sang Shanyue said with a frown.
Although there is only one pure demon cultivation place in Lingnan, Lame Deer Sword Sect.
But in such a place, it is naturally impossible to lack demon sword cultivators. When the first rumors arose, there was a confrontation.
Ting Fengyin stood on the moonlit valley with his sword in hand. He was silent for a long time, seeming to be hesitating about something.
Shen Qingmai and the others obviously noticed Ting Feng Yin's expression, and perhaps understood Ting Feng Yin's hesitation.
Although Lingnan has a low status in the world of cultivation, in the human world, even ten thousand sword cultivators are a force that can make waves.
What's more, Lingnan takes over the responsibility of the three cities. Although Nanyi City will probably be safe, whether it is Shanyue City in the north or Bailu City in the east, once something happens to Lingnan, both of them will be affected.
Therefore, whether Lingnan should act like Shanyue City and strike first to control the demon clan, or whether he should believe that there will be no chaos in the mountains and wait and see for the time being is an extremely complicated question.
The masters of the Sword Sect were silent on the wall of the West Wind Valley. The moonlight was cold and shining like frost and snow on the world.
After a long time, Tingfeng Yin said in a deep voice: "Don't move in Lingnan, wait and see what happens, and be ready to support Shanyue and Bailu at any time."
Gu Shanhong looked at Ting Fengyin solemnly and said, "Senior brother, are you sure you want to do this? Once Lingnan falls, the land of the three cities, even Nanyi City, will inevitably be affected, and the entire southern part of the world may fall into passivity. among.”
"There will be no chaos in Lingnan."
Ting Fengyin said slowly.
"This is a place that has just begun to see some hope of rising. It will not give up on those things, whether it is you, me, or those monsters."
A humble place is the easiest to be touched and the easiest to follow.
Ting Fengyin looked at the people on the side and said slowly: "If the rumors in the world are really unavoidable, you can tell them the news in advance. If there is chaos, calm down, and if there is no chaos, just wait and see."
Gu Shanhong and everyone nodded.
The group of people slowly dispersed and returned to the Sword Sect.
Ting Feng Yin held his sword and stood alone in the Moonlight Valley. There was a sound of swords. During the battle in Nanyi City, the already scattered disciples of Ting Feng Sword Sect heard the news and came.
He was ordered to go away again, turned into sword light and spread to the world, and began to monitor the south wind in the world to predict unforeseen events.
...
"What happened in the mountains?"
Lu Xiaosan was awakened from his dream by Le Chaotian's sudden and chaotic music, and then he discovered that in the night sky, there were sword rays plundering from time to time - it was indeed plundering, it looked extremely hurried, as if he was going to It's like stealing money.
That's why the young boy looked at Le Chaotian, who was sitting alone in the corridor facing the moon and playing the piano, with some confusion, and asked such a question.
Le Chaotian released his fingers from the strings, raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the world. After a long time, he said softly: "Someone has done a big bad thing, and the world may be in chaos."
Lu Xiaosan frowned and said: "How bad is it? Is the plot more serious than me, Lu Xiaosan?"
Le Chaotian looked back at the young boy and chuckled: "It's much more serious than you, Lu Xiaosan. You will only cause your junior brother's butt to be blown up into a tree. Some people will cause many people in the world to lose their lives."
Le Chaotian said, turning back with a cold look on his face.
"Although I am not a good person, they have gone too far in this kind of thing."
Lu Xiaosan naturally didn't understand what Le Chaotian meant.
Although he is always full of laughter on weekdays.
But what bad intentions could such an uncle, who only knows how to play music and learns swordsmanship, look a little mysterious, have any bad intentions?
After Le Chaotian said that sentence, he lowered his head and raised his hand to touch the strings again.
"How is your sword name memorized?"
Lu Xiaosan suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Because Le Chaotian had never spoken to them in such a tone.
So he hesitated a little and said, "I don't have to carry it anymore. I can let Xiaosi and Xiaowu carry it. Besides, my buttocks are almost healed..."
Le Chaotian said softly: "Don't worry, you can finish memorizing it first."
Lu Xiaosan looked at Le Chaotian's back and said, "Aren't we leaving?"
Le Chaotian said slowly: "Yes, it's just that the world is a bit chaotic. If you want to go out, you must have the ability to protect yourself like your senior brother. If you don't have enough training, you can also forcefully summon the sword and smash the enemy to death."
Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Then I will try to memorize as much time as possible every day."
"Um."
Le Chaotian said nothing more, but did not play the piano again, and then looked at the moonlight in the world with a calm expression.
Even those who can spy on destiny will not look at it all the time.
Not everyone has the mirror in Xie Chaoyu's hand.
So even though I am happy, I may have overlooked something.
For example, when Zhang Xiaoyu went up the mountain that day, there was blood and demonic energy on the sword.
When destiny is only in words, it is often uncertain.
Le Chaotian didn't look at it, but listened to Feng Yin's question. He also believed Zhang Xiaoyu in his three calm words, "That's your human business."
But no one thought that Zhang Xiaoyu had indeed killed more than just some people from the Hell.
Le Chaotian's eyes fell to the bottom of the cliff.
In the small building of Tianya Sword Sect, Chu Yao was also looking solemnly at the sword lights that flew across the sky.
In another small building, Fu Jiangnan, a young man who was diligent in cultivation, also stood in front of the window. He looked at his very powerful senior sister and asked, "What happened?"
Chu Yao shook his head.
Of course she didn't know what happened.
Just looking at it.
This thing can't be too small.
