There are no stars in the sky, and the moon is shining brightly.
There is a dilapidated carved building on a barren mountain in the southern region, full of mottled traces of time. On this dark and windy night, there was a faint sound like crying in the mountain wind.
Kara.
One foot stepped on the broken wood branch, making a crisp sound. Several figures appeared in front of the building and stared for a while before entering.
There are five people in this figure, the most conspicuous one is a strong man like an iron tower. His thin cloth shirt cannot cover the strong muscles with lines that are like chopping with knives and axes. His face is also as resolute as a rock.
In front of him is an old man in commoner clothes, with dry and wrinkled skin and a vicissitudes of appearance.
The old man's hand pressed the shoulder of a child. The child looked tiger-headed and his face was gray.
Behind him was a short, stocky middle-aged man, and a young man as tall as a bamboo.
The five people pushed open the door of the building, revealing a messy lobby with cobwebs and dust everywhere.
"Is there anyone there?" the leading old man called out.
After a moment, a response came from deep in the lobby, "Which friend is this?"
A couple of men and women walked out from the back of the hall. The man looked like a young man, tall and sinister, with an evil aura; the woman was charming, clinging tightly to the man's body, with a soft figure, and she looked at the outsiders with the same charming gaze.
"Haha, excuse me." The old man saw the two of them coming out to greet him, "I heard that you are accepting children here?"
"Yes." The evil young man glanced at the child. The child looked at him without fear, and the young man frowned slightly.
"Look at how much you can give to this eight-year-old child?" The old man pushed the child forward.
The young man looked at it carefully, sneered, raised his eyes and said, "You said this is eight years old?"
"Yes." The old man also smiled and said: "For the birthday that just passed, my family really couldn't afford it, so I ate a red egg and gave it away."
"Friend, stop pretending," the evil young man said loudly, "We only want people, not monsters."
"I'll just say no." The short, stocky middle-aged man behind said, "Even if you are a really stupid kid, you won't accept him."
"Fuck your mother." The child turned around and cursed.
"Taishan slave, do it!" The old man shouted violently and grabbed the charming woman in front of him with one palm.
And the strong man like an iron tower had already started to move before he shouted, and his big hands were opened like a net, covering the evil young man.
"You dare to come to our place to cause trouble?" The evil young man turned over and stretched his body several feet.
Looking at his lower body again, it had turned into a thick python tail covered with black scales. The python's body extended upwards and separated into two parts, dividing into the man's upper body and the woman's upper body.
It turns out that these two people are one!
"Roar--"
With a twist of the body, both men and women revealed their original forms, transforming into a huge two-headed black python, opening its mouth and spitting out a cloud of blood mist, the mist containing poison that could melt flesh and blood.
But the five people were not afraid at all and surrounded them.
The strong man who was called "Taishan Slave" grabbed the python's tail, shouted, and immediately swung it!
The stocky middle-aged man and the lanky young man each rushed forward and hugged a python head. The two-headed python was restrained by the three of them in the air.
The old man turned over his hand and took out a stone sword that looked like it was polished by rocks. The broad blade was bladeless, but when he slashed it in the air, it was like a magic weapon, cutting the two-headed giant python in half from the middle!
"Ah——" the two python heads screamed at the same time: "You and I are both monsters, why do you need to kill like this!"
Before he finished speaking, he was cut into two pythons and looked dead.
…
Bang bang——
The two broken bodies landed on the ground. The five people patted the dust and blood on their hands and started moving forward again. Coming to the back of the lobby, there is a deep cave.
The old man still took the lead and probed into the dark cave. The walls of the cave were sticky and slippery, and it looked like a big python had come out of it. After a while, it was finally over.
When the old man landed at the bottom and took a look, he saw a small candle in the cave and a dozen sleeping children inside.
"There are almost a dozen families who have lost their children. They should all be here." The old man glanced at them and said.
"Fortunately, everything is fine." The man who looked like an iron tower said angrily.
Several people were about to step forward to wake up the children, when suddenly the old man shouted: "Be careful!"
Following his reminder, one of the children in red suddenly opened his eyes, with a pair of vertical pupils showing a fierce light!
call--
He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of evil flames, spraying the tall and thin young man down. With a twist, he instantly transformed into a Yao Jiao fire snake with two wings!
"Protect the child!" the old man shouted again.
Immediately, I saw that the fiery snake was full of ferocity, its mouth was full of flames, and it filled the small cave! It was full of scalding arrogance for a moment!
Thanks to the five people raising their hands at the same time, a thick rock wall rose from the ground, blocking the children and preventing the fire from splashing out.
This snake demon is quite advanced and its flames are quite strong. Even if a spark falls on a person, it can immediately devour the whole body and destroy both body and soul!
After spitting out the flames, the fire snake showed no signs of fighting. It twisted around and burrowed upwards, creating a big hole with a rumble at an extremely fast speed! In a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the cave.
The five of them had no time to take action against it because they were protecting the children, and it was already too late to catch up.
call--
Just when the fire snake broke through the encirclement and flew into the sky to escape into the distance, a white figure suddenly appeared in the direction of its forward motion.
It was a tall young figure, dressed in white and standing in the wind, with sword-shaped eyebrows and clouded temples. His eyes were full of brilliance, and his gaze was indifferent but sharp.
Although there is no moon at night, my body is like a bright moon!
Seeing this figure, the snake demon felt a panic in his heart for some reason, as if a disaster was about to happen. But it didn't sit still and wait for death. Instead, it opened its mouth and spit out another ball of monster flames!
boom--
This fire is stronger than the one in the cave!
The young man just raised his hand lightly, spread his fingers and pressed down gently.
The blazing fireball immediately turned into a small spark under his palm and dissipated in the wind. And as his palm fell, the fire snake became smaller and smaller, gradually turning into an earthworm-like existence, hanging on his palm and scurrying around, but there was always an invisible barrier that prevented it from escaping.
"Young Master." Several people in the cave also caught up. The old man stepped forward and complimented: "You have to take action."
"Are the children okay?" the young man asked first.
"Everything is fine." The old man replied: "They should all be here. When we go back, we can interrogate this snake monster again."
"Who on earth are you!" The snake demon in the young man's palm was furious. It swam back and forth and shouted loudly: "You are obviously a great demon with good moral principles, why are you willing to be a slave of this human race?"
"Haha." The old man smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know the identity of our young master."
"What is his identity? It's worth turning your back on your own people!" the snake demon roared.
The young man glanced at him and immediately closed his fingers. Before clenching his palms, he said: "My name is Yang Shenlong."
…
"Yang Shenlong came out of seclusion, and three days later he destroyed a demon clan den in the southern region and rescued a dozen stolen children!"
"It's really amazing. He is handsome, has excellent cultivation, and is a chivalrous and righteous man. Isn't this the young chivalrous husband of my dreams..."
"His cultivation level is already the best among the younger generation. Now that he has made a breakthrough after leaving seclusion, he is probably even more unmatched."
"Not only that, not to mention him, even the five slaves under his command are beyond the ability of ordinary geniuses to deal with. But he alone was able to subdue those five big demons! And the big demons were willing to sacrifice their lives for him. "
"This Immortal Sect Conference, it seems that Penglai is the one to attend."
"Absolutely. Penglai has been ranked first three times in a row before, but it only took third place in the last one. This time it must be full of energy to compete for the first place. And with Yang Shenlong, a rare genius like Yang Shenlong, basically It’s a done deal, and there are very few people who can compete with them.”
"Except for Feng Chaoyang, the powerful opponent of the Tianwang Sect in the past, this time, everyone else is lackluster. Except for the younger generation of the Endless Sword Sect, which is too mysterious and not known at all, it seems that no one can compete with Yang Shenlong. "
"Actually... I think Shushan is pretty good too."
"Stop being ridiculous, Shushan's goal this year is not to fall out of the top ten."
"But Hongmianfeng is holding a promotion again. The things we buy are cheap and useful."
"Indeed, then I also support Shushan."
"..."
With the release of the new issue of Qixingdi Newspaper, Yang Shenlong's name has returned to the public eye. He had been in seclusion for nearly a year. Although the world of immortality still regarded him as the strongest person of the younger generation, very little news came out.
Until he came out of seclusion recently, he destroyed the demon clan's den in one fell swoop. And he heard that the den was related to the demon clan in the far west, and he was still tracking it down.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately occupied the headlines of Jiuzhou Fengyunce, highlighting Yang Shenlong's heavyweight.
In fact, this incident cannot be compared with the Yinghuo conspiracy that Chu Liang destroyed in the capital of Yu, but that incident involved the court's omissions. The purpose of the prisoner presentation ceremony was to boost people's sentiments. If such a big scandal spreads, it will have the opposite effect. By then, people in Kyushu will be panicked and the chaos will become even worse. This is probably one of Yinghuo's purposes.
Therefore, after communicating with all parties, this news did not appear in Qixingdi Daily.
Only some people in Yudu and the banner of "Exquisite Hands and Human Whip" in Chu Liang's house still remember how dangerous things were that day.
Chu Liang himself didn't care much about this false reputation. He was more concerned about another piece of news.
"Princess Jingyang was rejected for marriage again, and a Shushan disciple was granted the title of imperial younger brother."
