Inside the White City, the scene is strange.
As soon as we entered the city, there were three restaurants. The one in the middle was called a butcher's shop, with two fresh and bloody heads hanging on the door.
The one on the left is called the Demon Pavilion, with several demon skins hanging at the door. The one on the right is Baiweizhai. In addition to hanging demon skins, there are also several demon bones on the top.
The human butcher shop is run by the demon clan, the demon tavern is run by the demon clan, and Baiweizhai is a human clan restaurant.
There were waiters at the entrances of the three restaurants trying to attract business, shaking meat that was still dripping with blood in their hands.
These three restaurants are so conspicuous that it is difficult not to notice them.
Shen Mochi immediately lost his appetite when he looked at the bloody flesh and the customers chewing through the store door with their mouths full of blood.
Putting down the unfinished chicken legs, Shen Mochi wanted to pull Jiuyuan away quickly. He turned around and saw a monster clan who had just come out of the monster hall. He caught a glimpse of the flesh and blood between his teeth and felt retching in his heart.
Jiuyuan frowned, patted Shen Mochi on the back, and moved forward with his arms around him.
Before he had even taken two steps, someone bumped into him from behind. The person hurriedly turned around and apologized to Jiuyuan, then squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Jiuyuan lowered his head and looked at his waist. The jade pendant that was still hanging on his body had been taken away.
As soon as she thought about it, the pickpocket who had escaped appeared in front of her. The pickpocket seemed to have not realized what happened and looked around in confusion.
Yin Liao stepped forward, took the jade pendant from the thief's hand, and handed it to Jiuyuan with both hands.
The thief realized that he had kicked an iron plate and was about to run away again when he was caught up by the previous owner, who pushed him to the ground and kicked and punched him.
The thief is a demon. He seems to have just transformed, and he still retains many characteristics of the demon.
After getting his belongings back, Jiuyuan led Shen Mochi to avoid the beaten thief and continue moving forward.
The three of them had not walked a few steps when there was a sound of obstruction behind them. It seemed that someone was paying the demon clan to divulge the truth.
This is Baicheng, chaotic and pure. No matter whether it is a demon or a demon, no one will deliberately hide their true nature.
Most of the creatures living here, except for the fleeing humans, are half-demon and half-demon called hybrids.
The further inside you go, the more oppressive the atmosphere becomes, exposing the true nature of this city.
In the flower house on the roadside, the monsters soliciting business lure the newly arrived creatures into the building and immediately suck them dry.
When faced with a strong person, he will do everything possible to please him, keep himself humble and act like a petty person, and he can only consider himself unlucky if he is sucked by a strong person.
Baicheng is where they live and where they work hard to survive.
"Why do we come to a place like this?" Shen Mochi followed Jiuyuan closely, fearing that he would be caught alone by the evil spirits around him.
"My lord will come here every time after shedding his scales. He comes here to look for the Lord of the White City." Yin Liao took the flower head.
"Why are you here?" Shen Mochi continued to ask, always feeling that the villain had many secrets.
Yin Liao didn't answer him. At this time, they had already reached the city lord's mansion.
The people in the mansion seemed to have expected someone to come back, and a dozen people were waiting at the door.
At the front was an ugly man with scars all over his face. The man was thin and the clothes he wore were empty.
Seeing Jiuyuan, a smile appeared on the man's face. When he smiled, the scars on his face trembled, like countless maggots crawling.
"Lord Jiuyuan, this time you came later than before."
"Are you ready?" Jiuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at City Lord Bai's mottled face.
"It has been prepared for a long time. Sir, please follow me into the mansion."
"Yes." She agreed softly, and Jiuyuan strode into the house. City Lord Bai followed her respectfully, as if Jiuyuan was the owner of this house.
Although City Lord Bai is ugly, his aesthetics are not bad.
The interior of the mansion is antique, with nine winding corridors, and there are no monster skins or human heads hanging on them, which seems like a normal person's preference.
Arriving at the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Bai retreated to the left and right, leading Jiuyuan and the others into the underground palace through the secret door of the study.
Inside the underground palace is an oil lamp made of skulls. Under the illumination of candlelight, a small room in the innermost part of the underground palace is filled with almost black stones.
Jiuyuan walked to the stone and put his hand on the stone. Golden light immediately poured into the stone.
Others dare not go further than five meters away. As long as they get a little closer, they will feel the crushing power of the powerful spiritual power.
Jiuyuan only stayed at the stone for a few breaths before retracting his hand. As soon as she turned around, City Master Bai immediately knelt down with his fists clasped.
"Lord Jiuyuan, this sky stone can withstand your power for up to three times. After three times, the sky stone will break into pieces.
Sir, after all these years of wandering around, have you decided on your next path? "
"All things change, and the mystery of freedom is just like the fall of this god."
Jiuyuan spoke slowly.
"Human monks have existed since before the fall of the gods. Their pursuit of the great ways and methods ultimately deviates from their original intention."
"At the beginning, the gods returned to silence to help them achieve greatness. Now it is also time for them to repay their karma."
"New things will eventually replace old things, just as practitioners replace gods."
"This god will fulfill his final promise and make all things one."
"The age of gods and cultivation will eventually pass."
City Lord Bai's body stiffened, and he sighed softly, but replied sonorously and forcefully: "I will obey the oracle!"
The villain is indeed a god, so is she still a villain?
Shen Mochi looked at Jiuyuan, his brain a little exhausted. At the same time, the sea of consciousness "dinged" and a mechanical electronic prompt sounded.
"Congratulations to the taskmaster for unlocking the hidden plot. Please stop the villain's actions and keep the original plot running normally."
The system for issuing this task doesn't sound like a good thing.
Shen Mochi rolled his eyes in his heart and ignored it.
He probably understands that Jiuyuan is not a bad guy at all. Maybe Jiuyuan is a villain to the heroine. After all, the plot revolves around the heroine.
However, he only helps his little villain!
Jiuyuan did not stay in the City Lord's Mansion for long. He left the City Lord's Mansion and as soon as he walked to the door, Shen Mochi saw an acquaintance.
It’s the red-tailed mermaid from the Underworld, the matchmaker.
When the matchmaker saw Jiuyuan, she took three steps and knelt at her feet: "Sir, the human cultivators have gathered a large number of people on my sea of underworld, and they refused to explore in order to capture you and the Immortal Lord!"
As for what the human monks want to follow, everyone knows it well.
The talk of arresting the adults and the Immortal Lord was just an excuse for a group of people to help the Changling Sect eradicate evil spirits, and they also wanted to see if they could catch a few sharks from the underworld.
The Changling Sect, on the other hand, is a group of hypocritical missionary monks who legitimately recruit people to support themselves.
The matchmaker spoke quickly and seemed anxious. But if you listen carefully, you can hear the excitement in it.
Jiuyuan raised his hand and used his spiritual power to lift the matchmaker up from the ground. She seemed to have anticipated the behavior of the human monks and nodded unconcernedly.
"Then let them stay at sea, and tell the children in the clan not to go to the sea to cause trouble recently."
Seemingly worried about the children of the Shark tribe, Jiuyuan's next words were unexpectedly——
"The human race is fragile and cannot withstand a few waves. Don't let the younger generation get into trouble for no reason."
Shen Mochi: "..." Should I say he is worthy of being a boss? Are even the children at home so cruel?
A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the matchmaker, who had not fought for tens of thousands of years, and she responded: "Yes, sir."
After giving instructions to the matchmaker, Jiuyuan was still a little worried, and then said to Yin Liao: "You go back with the matchmaker. Watch those little guys closely and don't let them make too much noise."
