Society is afraid of indulging in infrastructure in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 272 342. The wind rises from the sea
The sky was overcast and cold, and a terrifying and eerie atmosphere hung over Canghai City.

On both sides of the street, everyone closed their doors and dared not make a sound.

The sound of children crying could be heard from the streets, and everyone in the city was trembling with fear and dared not say a word.

Some even held their breath and covered the mouths and noses of their children at home, for fear of disturbing the monsters in the city.

This Canghai City was originally a place where the city lord colluded with the demon clan to buy and sell shady treasures, forbidden elixirs, and also to buy and sell demons and humans.

In Canghai City, humans and demons live together, and there is a mix of good and bad people.

Three years ago, the Cang Yun Sea formation was destroyed by unknown monks, and many trades were interrupted, which can be considered a good deed.

The people inside and outside the city had a chance to catch their breath.

But how could the already arrogant and extravagant Lord of Canghai City be willing to live frugally? He tried every means to squeeze some surplus value out of the people.

Letting the children of great demons hunt in the city is a new way to play.

It has now been going on for three months, with hundreds of people killed or injured every day.

Qian San had just experienced the destruction of his family. Xie Lie, the son of the demon clan and scorpion tribe, was hunting a foundation-building cultivator and happened to step on the eaves of Qian San's house. He stomped his foot and the house collapsed, crushing his wife and children who were hiding under the bed to death.

He slumped on the ground, his whole body in a daze, and didn't even clean up the bodies of his family members.

He didn't know how to face this reality. Should he blame himself for having a life like an ant, or blame himself for being born in this Canghai City?

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky from Canghai City, and several people shouted: "Kill the city lord, seize the city, we want to live!!"

"Kill the city lord! Seize the city! We want to live! We don't want to be slaughtered!"

These words seemed to inject a bit of energy into Qian San. His eyes turned red and he immediately stood up, walked to the woodshed, lit a fire, and rushed out of the house.

As soon as he rushed out, what came into his sight was endless torches.

There were faces he recognized, some he didn't recognize, and some he had just met a few days ago. "Qian San, you're here too."

He knew the person who was speaking. He was a demon who had just arrived in Canghai City a few days ago. His name was Qinglan and he was from the fox tribe. He said that he was being hunted by a big shot from the demon tribe and had to flee to Canghai City. Now he opened a small tea shop in the east of the city.

Qian San just nodded to his acquaintance and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Qing, are you all going to kill the city lord?"

Qinglan didn't know what had happened to him, but looking at his expression and thinking about the casualties in Canghai City in the past few days, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Yes, now that the cultivators and the demons are taking the lead, many people have died in the past few days, both from the human and demon races. Those who want revenge and those who can't bear it are all here."

Qian San once felt that revenge was hopeless. How could he, a mortal who could only draw energy into his body, face a Jindan master like the Lord of Canghai City, not to mention the three Jindan masters of the demon clan around him.

And now, there are not only common people like him, but also cultivators and demons. So, is it really possible to take revenge?

A half-grown boy suddenly jumped out of the alley, with a pair of cat ears still unretracted, and he also held a torch. "Uncle Qian, I want to seek revenge too, for my aunt and Xiaoduo."

Qian San looked at the boy and couldn't help shedding tears, "Jiumao, you are still young, you should avenge your uncle yourself."

"No, Uncle Qian gave me a bowl of rice, which is like giving me a life. In this world, good people don't get rewarded. So many people died today. I won't be willing to give it up if I don't fight."

Qinglan didn't have much contact with Qian San, but knew that he was a good man and was well-known for his warm heart in this street. Now such a good man was forced into a desperate situation.

"You came late and don't know that the leading cultivators have joined forces with the demons. They are going to deal with the city lord's men. We only need to deal with the mortal guards, or the cultivators and demons with some skills. We will do what we can. The person who leads the way is called Li Weiyi. He will take us to the city gate and let us open it." As he said that, Qinglan took out two pills from his pocket.

"This pill has just been issued. After taking it, you will gain an extra zhenqi, but you will be weak for three days after using it up."

Qian San and Jiu Mao took the pills without hesitation.

"Thank you, Mr. Qing."

"Thank you, Mr. Qing."

They followed the crowd and walked towards the city gate in a mighty procession.
