Curse.
Could it be that Tianfeng Continent was really cursed?
Ye Xiaocheng was thinking about it in his mind.
The monster army retreated ten miles, and the defenders and people in the city cheered. This was an unprecedented victory.
There was a festive atmosphere everywhere in the city, and rumors even spread that the army of monster beasts had been beaten into chaos and fled in panic, and the danger of the beast tide was averted.
Many people ran to the city gate and asked to be opened to let them escape.
When Shi Kaifeng learned about this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to personally come forward and explain to these people that the army of monsters was still gathered ten miles outside the city and had not retreated. The siege of the city had not been lifted, so the city gate could not be opened.
But these people didn't believe it and still shouted to open the city gate and let them escape.
These people are basically not locals. Most of them come to Stone City to do business or visit relatives and friends. When the beast tide suddenly comes, they happen to be trapped in the city, so they are eager to leave the city and go home.
"Lord Stone City, please open the city gate and let us out. You are not responsible for our life or death." A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said anxiously.
"No, the city gate is connected to the city defense formation. If we want to open the city gate, we must first pause the city defense formation. In that case, if the army of monster beasts takes the opportunity to rush in when the city gate is opened, we will not be able to do it at all. There is not enough time to close the city gate and restart the formation, so the city gate must not be opened."
"It's no use being so fierce to us. Why don't we rely on Mr. Ye to fight monsters?" Someone murmured below.
"I say it again, everyone please leave the city gate immediately. Anyone who dares to attack the city gate will be killed on the spot. Anyone who dares to incite everyone in the city to leave the city will also be killed immediately." Shi Kaifeng said with a murderous look on his face.
Under Shi Kaifeng's intimidation, these people had no choice but to leave the city gate in frustration.
"Is the traitor in the city about to show up?" Shi Kaifeng murmured as he looked at the depressing army of monsters outside the city.
"The storm is coming. They are testing the waters and want to see our reaction." Elder Shi Yuan sneered.
"City Lord, do you want to arrest all those people and kill them?" a commander asked.
"No need. The traitor is not stupid. Those who jumped out are definitely not traitors. They were just deceived and deceived."
This is just a small episode in the city, but it makes Shi Kaifeng and others alert. Chaos often starts from within, and traitors have to be guarded against.
The traitor of the demon clan in the city must have received the order and started a plan to cooperate inside and outside.
There are some traitors on the surface. In peacetime, these people only work for the demon clan, using Daqingshan's unique resources in exchange to help the demon clan acquire various cultivation resources.
When the beast army came, these people had all been arrested and locked up in the prison of the city lord's mansion.
Of course, there are also deep-hidden traitors who usually remain silent but only jump out at critical moments.
Now, these traitors have begun to take action, and it is not easy to search for them among hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Shi Kaifeng sent people to conduct overt and covert investigations throughout the city, looking for clues of the traitor. The espionage drama in Stone City entered a white-hot stage.
Ye Xiaocheng did not return to the residence of the City Lord's Mansion, but changed his appearance and wandered around the city with Ye Ling'er.
Shopping is a girl's nature, especially Ye Ling'er, who can't stand idle, and has long wanted to stroll around the city.
Ye Xiaocheng had no choice but to accompany her everywhere.
In addition to shopping, Ye Ling'er's other hobby is naturally food.
Although the demon clan is approaching the city, and the high-end restaurants and restaurants in the city are doing a particularly prosperous business, the wealthy people have exposed the weakness of human nature at this time. They believe that instead of dying at the mouth of the demon beast, it is better to enjoy themselves in time and live in a dream.
The city lord's palace sent out patrols to suppress the situation. There were still many drunkards in the city, and some fights inevitably occurred. However, these drunkards were quickly caught in jail and sobered up.
Ye Xiaocheng and Ye Ling'er walked along and saw several scenes of drunkenness and trouble.
"These guys don't dare to go out of the city to fight against the monsters, but they are very capable of causing trouble in the city." Ye Ling'er said angrily.
"This is because the cost of making trouble in the city is very low. At least you won't lose your life. It's hard to say whether your head will still be on your shoulders when fighting monsters." Ye Xiaocheng said lightly.
"What you said makes sense, little friend. I wonder if we can get to know each other." Suddenly, a person came out from behind the two of them.
"You are..." Ye Xiaocheng looked at this guy who appeared out of nowhere and couldn't help but become wary.
It seemed that I was still too relaxed and didn't notice anyone behind me.
Ye Xiaocheng would not let his guard down so much when he was alone.
Because he was with Ling'er, and Ling'er was closely protected by Lord Void, Ye Xiaocheng subconsciously relaxed his safety awareness.
Otherwise, even an extra mouse, not to mention a few feet away behind him, but ten miles around him, would not be able to deceive his consciousness.
This is also because his divine soul clone is too busy. The work of refining Xiaogan's clone is at a critical moment. Except for those divine soul clones who are still refining Miluo's Innate Taboo, all other divine soul clones are refining. This demon king clone.
It is worth mentioning that because he subdued a hundred third-level monsters into soul beasts, Ye Xiaocheng's soul clones now have more than forty golden elixir level clones. These clones are now helping to refine the soul clones. The demon king's clone.
It's a bit convoluted and confusing, mainly because there are too many clones of Ye Xiaocheng.
First of all, he has a divine soul clone. This clone majors in Soul Control Emperor's "Soul Code", which is the soul clan technique. In fact, this clone can be said to be an out-and-out soul clan.
There are too many clones of this divine soul, there are more than a million of them, large and small. Because he was cultivating Miluo's innate ban, he learned the method of deifying tens of millions without any teacher, and differentiated too many. A trace of consciousness.
When his divine soul clone majored in soul clan skills, these spiritual consciousnesses naturally became clones under the divine soul clone.
Regardless of whether it is a divine soul clone or a clone under the divine soul clone, without exception, they are all under the control of Ye Xiaocheng Lord's divine soul.
Ye Xiaocheng is worried that the soul clones may have too many layers and may become self-aware involuntarily. In that case, the main soul may be schizophrenic and eventually fall into a state of madness or even collapse.
Generally speaking, the skills of the Soul Clan are only suitable for people from the Soul Clan to practice. Forcibly practiced by monks of other races may lead to madness, schizophrenia, or even head explosions, etc. All kinds of strange deaths have occurred.
Ye Xiaocheng was able to avoid this because he accidentally obtained the Soul-Gathering Emperor's natal imperial weapon: the Soul-Gathering Pearl.
"Brother, let's go and ignore this guy. He doesn't look like a good person." Ye Ling'er was more alert than Ye Xiaocheng and immediately took his arm to leave.
"It's okay to listen to what this fellow Taoist has to say." Ye Xiaocheng looked at this man with interest.
This person is also a Jindan Zhenren, about forty.
This certainly does not mean that he is actually around forty years old.
If a person around forty can cultivate to the realm of golden elixir, that would be extraordinary. Such a person is a super genius no matter where he is, and it is impossible for him to know nothing about it.
However, this person's dharma attire is extraordinary, and his temperament is even more extraordinary. He should not be an ordinary person.
Because of this, Ye Xiaocheng wanted to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Do the two fellow Taoists think that the demon clan has been frustrated and can no longer attack the city? That's why they are leisurely shopping. If the two fellow Taoists really think so, then disaster is not far away." The man shook his head and said.
"Anyone who is a monk above the Golden Core level can know this kind of thing, right? What exactly do you want to say?" Ye Xiaocheng frowned.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Can the two fellow Taoists follow me to a place?" The man looked around and said somewhat mysteriously.
"We don't know who you are or where you want to take us. Who knows what your intentions are. Please leave quickly, we won't go with you." Ye Ling'er said with some boredom.
"The two fellow Taoists are young and still have a bright future. I couldn't bear to see you fall into this wave of beasts. I rescued you out of good intentions. I didn't expect that the two dogs bit Lu Dongbin and didn't know a good heart." This person A heartbroken expression.
Ye Xiaocheng was happy.
Who on earth is this guy? He actually acted in front of him. Isn't this a dance in the City God's Temple? It's really annoying and ridiculous.
"Okay, you win, we will go with you." Ye Xiaocheng smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
"Brother..." Ye Ling'er reminded him with her eyes anxiously.
"Don't worry." Ye Xiaocheng squeezed her little hand and said.
"Yes." Ye Ling'er felt the strength from Ye Xiaocheng's hand, and her mood calmed down inexplicably.
