Hao Jie spoke very little and had almost no unnecessary communication with Xiao Zhan.
After bringing Xiao Zhan to Xicheng District, Hao Jie found a young man in his thirties, said a few words briefly, and then left Xicheng District.
This young man is also a casual cultivator. He is tall and tall, nearly two meters tall. The muscles on his body seem to explode. He also carries a broad sword about the same height as a person on his back, which looks very domineering.
This man's name is Li Kui, one of the ten captains responsible for managing all the casual cultivators in the city.
Under him, he is responsible for coordinating nearly two hundred casual cultivators, and is directly responsible to Hao Jie.
"May I have your name?"
Li Kui looked at Xiao Zhan and asked with a smile:
"Now that you have been assigned to my subordinates, you will become my brother from now on. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will protect you."
"But you must also abide by my rules, that is, you must do whatever I ask you to do."
Xiao Zhan nodded calmly and said nothing more.
Li Kui took Xiao Zhan into an inn.
This is where his two hundred men live.
But at this time, everyone had just completed the patrol mission with Li Kui, and they were all very tired, so they were all resting in the room.
Li Kui took Xiao Zhan upstairs and opened the door of a room.
In the room, there were seven young men sitting cross-legged on the ground. There were still weak energy fluctuations on their bodies. They were obviously practicing Qigong to adjust their condition.
Li Kui coughed, and the seven people opened their eyes one after another, and their gazes immediately fell on Xiao Zhan's face.
"His name is Jia Ming, and he also took the initiative to help. There is always one person missing from your team, so let him be on your team."
After speaking, Li Kui didn't care what the opinions of these seven people were, and turned around and left the room.
As soon as he left, the seven people in the room immediately stood up and approached Xiao Zhan expressionlessly.
"Jia Ming, right?"
A thin man in the lead looked at Xiao Zhan and said slowly:
"The seven of us, although we are also casual cultivators, we have always come and gone together."
"We can trust each other."
"But you are different. We don't understand each other, and we don't want to get to know you deeply."
"Since Li Kui has placed you in our group, just follow us and follow my arrangements."
Xiao Zhan nodded calmly without saying a word.
He came here just to keep a close eye on the information.
In the next few days, the seven people stayed in the room to adjust.
Xiao Zhan was wandering around the city.
On the fifth day, more than 200 casual cultivators that Li Kui was responsible for mobilizing once again received the patrol mission.
Xiao Zhan and seven other people walked downstairs together.
Li Kui led more than 200 people and walked towards the west gate.
Hao Jie, who was responsible for managing all casual cultivators, was already standing at the west city gate.
At this time, nearly two thousand people had gathered here.
Hao Jie called several people in charge, including Li Kui, over. After a few words of conversation, Li Kui walked back with a frown on his face and motioned for more than 200 people to leave with him.
Outside the city, dozens of large flying boats have landed and lined up neatly. A large number of female disciples from the Haoyue Palace got off the flying boats with tired faces.
Xiao Zhan noticed that everyone around him was looking at these women with excitement.
In Haoyue Palace, from the palace master, elders to ordinary disciples, all are women.
"stop looking!"
Li Kui withdrew his gaze and led everyone towards one of the flying boats.
After boarding the flying boat, Li Kui personally drove the flying boat to a height of about fifty meters above the ground, then turned into a stream of light and rushed out.
Li Kui looked back at the two hundred people on the flying boat and said in a deep voice:
"The people from Haoyue Palace have been patrolling the defense line for several days, although there has been nothing.
It is unusual, but we must not let down our guard. "
"After all, this matter involves people from the devil's path. We cannot see the world in chaos."
"This is our third mission as a ninja. I hope everyone will cooperate with me to complete it well."
Everyone nodded.
Li Kui continued:
"Everyone has their eyes wide open and no one is allowed to leave our blockade!"
Everyone immediately dispersed around the edge of the flying boat, staring closely at the ground that was passing quickly in the air and below.
Although it is not a battle, this kind of high-intensity observation is still very mentally draining.
Therefore, after a few hours, many people showed signs of fatigue on their faces.
After another two hours, a man suddenly shouted in a low voice:
"There's someone down there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and then they saw a small flying boat, which was originally hidden in a low-lying area.
This small airship apparently also noticed the airship above its head. In the next moment, it turned into a stream of light and flew towards the distance.
Li Kui's eyes flashed, and he immediately changed direction and chased after the small flying boat.
Half an hour later, this small flying boat was stopped!
More than two hundred people rushed down from the airship and surrounded the small airship.
There were only a dozen people on the small flying boat.
And the faces of these dozen people were full of panic.
When Xiao Zhan saw these dozen people, he frowned tightly.
Because these dozen people are the guards of the Qiu family!
Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling have followed the Tianming Sect's large forces to evacuate this area.
But the Qiu family is still inside.
At this time, these Qiu family guards were in such a hurry, it was obvious that something had happened to the Qiu family.
At this time, Li Kui pulled out a broad sword as high as one person behind him, pointed it at the dozen or so people on the small flying boat, and yelled:
"Who are you!"
"Everyone, come down here and get checked!"
Surrounded by more than 200 aggressive people, these dozen Qiu family guards did not dare to resist at all. They could only get off the flying boat and stood there fearfully, not daring to speak.
"Are you all mute?"
Li Kui let out a low roar, and murderous aura began to stir in his body.
The leading guard trembled and said quickly:
"No, don't do it, we...we just want to live."
Li Kui's eyes flashed:
"Speak clearly!"
The guard's voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear:
"It's terrible, it's really terrible!"
"Dead, all dead!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Kui roared angrily, his eyes widening:
"Explain it clearly to me!"
The leading Qiu family guard turned pale and stammered:
"We are the guards of the Qiu family, the head of the house, the head of the house is crazy! He killed all the other guards, and we managed to escape with great difficulty!"
"Those people died so tragically, so tragically!"
Li Kui's eyes flashed:
"Tell me clearly, which Qiu family!"
"Just...the Qiu family who works for the Tianming Sect!"
Li Kui frowned:
"Then why didn't you go to the Tianming Sect to seek help? Why did you escape here!"
The man was shaking more and more violently:
"We don't dare. Everything is in chaos now. Many sects and forces are in chaos, and many monsters suddenly appeared!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed.
It seems that the crisis has indeed broken out?
But this shouldn't be the case. We have checked before and found no demonic energy among the various forces.
What's going on now?
Li Kui pondered for two
Seconds later, he looked back at everyone and said:
"This matter must be reported immediately!"
After speaking, he looked at the dozen Qiu family guards and growled:
"Go back! This area has been sealed off and no one is allowed to leave!"
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen Qiu family guards immediately knelt down and begged:
"Hero, just let us leave, we will definitely die if we stay!"
Li Kui snorted coldly, raised the broad sword in his hand, and said indifferently:
"Either you go back, or I will kill you now!"
Hearing this, the bodies of these dozen people trembled wildly.
Feeling the murderous aura in Li Kui, they also knew that Li Kui was not joking.
"Why are you forcing us to die!"
The leading guard captain finally broke out and shouted hysterically with his eyes wide open:
"Let us leave and we can survive. If we go back, we will definitely turn into those monsters!"
"Why are you doing this!"
Li Kui was expressionless:
"I am only following the orders of Haoyue Palace, so you don't have to yell at me. Either go back or die under my broad sword."
A dozen guards looked angry.
But they knew they had no choice.
After reboarding the small flying boat, the leading guard suddenly turned back to look at Li Kui and roared with gritted teeth:
"If we become such monsters, you have an unshirkable responsibility!"
After saying that, he started the flying boat, and the flying boat turned into a stream of light and disappeared instantly.
Li Kui took out the communication jade charm with an expressionless face and informed Hao Jie of the news he had just received.
Then everyone boarded the airship again and continued their inspection.
In the next few days, they met several groups of people one after another. They were all as panic-stricken as the dozen or so guards of the Qiu family. The reason why they were eager to escape was because there were many lunatics in their mouths.
They still don't know that those people are people from the demonic path invaded by demonic energy.
According to what they said, those people were like walking zombies, attacking people when they saw them, biting flesh and blood, like inhuman beasts.
Thinking about it, they were just very low-level people in the demonic path. Using a term that Xiao Zhan had just learned recently, they should be called "demon slaves."
As the name suggests, they are slaves of people in the devil's way.
They have no consciousness, only the instinct of brutal killing, which can cause huge chaos.
But the real people in the devil's path are still hiding in some unknown place.
A few days later.
The mission has ended.
Li Kui had already received the order and immediately brought his people back, and there would be disciples from Haoyue Palace who would continue to perform the mission.
But just as everyone was about to return the same way, Li Kui received a new order, asking him to take his people and stand by where they were!
The order suddenly changed, obviously something big had happened.
In fact, it was not just the team led by Li Kui that encountered many people trying to escape.
Other teams also encountered the same situation.
There are also defense lines in charge of other sects, and the same thing has happened.
In fact, the defense line in charge of one sect was attacked by thousands of demon slaves, resulting in heavy casualties.
Therefore, all sect forces are now on high alert.
Because the speed at which the crisis broke out far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Although everyone knew that this was a huge crisis, only when they experienced it personally did they understand how terrifying it was.
After discussing with all the senior sects responsible for forming the encirclement group, they decided to send an elite team to go deep into the vast area surrounded to find out the details inside.
Haoyue Palace also received an order from Tianyu Sect and dispatched an elite team of twenty people.
.
At this time, at the temporary management office of Haoyue Palace in the city.
Hao Jie walked out with a stern look on her face and looked at the ten people waiting outside the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Li Kui and said:
"Gather the casual cultivators under you and follow me to carry out the mission."
"We will meet at the west gate."
Li Kui nodded with a smile, turned around and left quickly.
