Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 268 Demonic Aura, Murderous Aura

The moonlight is shining softly, and a few lights are on, making Qinghe City peaceful.

"Old Liu, what's wrong with you? You just married a new wife and your back is injured?"

A strange laugh was heard from under the city gate.

Old Liu was not annoyed by the teasing. He smiled and said with a very good temper: "I am old now, and I still want to have a son."

The other guards looked at Lao Liu strangely.

Among them, Lao Liu is the oldest.

Strangely enough, it’s not that Old Liu is infertile.

On the contrary, very fertile.

It’s also early to get married.

But she was unlucky and gave birth to seven daughters in a row. This made Old Liu very worried. Recently, under pressure from his mother, he married a child in the hope of giving birth to a son.

In the State of Yu, it was absolutely impossible for a family to be without a man. Even for a wealthy family, it was not acceptable. If a whole family consisted of only women, the family would be devoured.

This is equivalent to the ancestral bloodline being cut off. There will be no more incense and offerings during the Zhongyuan Festival in the future, and the ancestors will starve below. Shouldn’t they blame Old Liu?

Of course Lao Liu is in a good mood.

After working hard day and night, I finally got rewarded.

Pregnant.

He was already old, so in a few years he would go to the Dianshi to plead for mercy and be allowed to work as an idler in the Sixth House.

This life has not been lived in vain.

Just when several people were chatting enthusiastically, the voices suddenly stopped.

County Magistrate Zhong Zheng walked over with an expressionless face.

He just said, "Open the door."

Hearing this, the commander at the gate hesitated a little, and asked reluctantly, "Master Zhong, it's almost midnight now, why do you want to open the gate?"

It would be too strange to open the door at this time.

If the inspector finds out, it will be a serious matter that will cost you your head.

Zhong Zheng looked at the commander coldly: "Why, I am not the county magistrate, so my words are useless. I remember that it was Lord Zhuang who recommended you for this position of commander."

"Yes Yes."

The gatekeeper was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This matter has always been a concern for him. He was a man of the former magistrate Zhuang Renhe, otherwise he would not have been assigned to such an important position as guarding the city gate. But now that Zhuang Renhe is dead, he is bound to be liquidated.

No matter what excuse Zhong Zheng finds to punish him, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

He gritted his teeth and said to the people behind him:
"Open the city gate."

Then the city gate was seen slowly opening, and Zhong Zheng rode out alone on horseback.

After a while.

Zhong Zheng arrived at a desolate mountain area outside the city.

Madam Ling Luo and Yuan Gao were standing not far from him. As they approached, Zhong Zheng's eyes flashed with struggle, and he said in a dull voice, "The city gate is open."

"very good."

Madam Ling Luo's eyes flashed a strange purple color, as if a datura flower was blooming.

"Now that you have finished your work, you can die."

A cold light flashed!

Zhong Zheng's pupils dilated instinctively and he stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.

Until his death, he didn't even understand when he was caught in the illusion.

Mrs. Ling Luo didn't even look at the corpse on the ground.

He just looked at Yuan Gao and said calmly:

"Let's go, catch him!"

"Why do you think Master Zhong went out so late?"

Several soldiers were chatting at the city gate, looking at the endless darkness before them.

Too weird.

Although Qinghe does not have a curfew, it seems strange that a county magistrate would leave the city alone late at night.

The guard commander also felt something was wrong.

But for the sake of his official position, he had no choice but to do this.

If you offend the current Qinghe County Court official, you will have a hard time in the future and your family may even be destroyed.

He had finally climbed up to this point.

I really can't bear to give up this wealth and glory.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "Wait a little longer."

A full half hour passed.

Just when a few people thought that County Magistrate Zhong Zheng would not come back and were wondering whether they should close the city gates first.

suddenly.

Old Liu, who had remained silent the whole time, pointed at the darkness ahead, his voice trembling with obvious trembling:
"Then what is that?"

I heard Lao Liu's voice.

The other people also looked in the direction of Lao Liu's finger, and their pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant.

Monster.

There are so many monsters as far as the eye can see.

The guard commander's blood ran cold in an instant and his mind went blank.

It was Lao Liu who reacted first, shouting:

"Close the city gate!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

At the same time, he ran towards the top of the city wall desperately.

"Baby, Daddy probably can't see you anymore."

A loud roar like rumbling thunder rang out in the dark night. Standing on the city wall, one could see half of the sky was red.

"Monster!"

"It's a monster!"

The night was as dark as ink, and flames rose from the outer city of Qinghe. The thatched roofs were licked by the flames and instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The strong wind blew, and the fire spread out of control.

"The fire is coming out. Put it out quickly."

"What fire are you trying to put out? The monster is coming!"

Various cries for help, howls and cries were intertwined, and it was like purgatory on earth.

The city gates were open.

The monsters rushed into the outer city with almost no hindrance, and many lives were lost in their mouths.

An Ning Wei.

"Enemy attack?"

Li Rui opened his eyes and turned over suddenly. The urgent sound of bells echoed in his ears.

This is a wake-up call.

It would only sound when the enemy was leaving the city, but this was Liqinghe, how could there be an enemy attacking the city?

Just ridiculous.

The State of Yu was stable and peaceful, and such a thing had not happened for hundreds of years.

He quickly stood up, put on his clothes and shoes, picked up his long knife and went out.

At this time.

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong walked out of the room in a daze, even forgetting to put on their shoes.

"What's going on?"

Li Rui looked at the red half of the sky not far away and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Something serious has happened."

"follow me."

Li Rui took two quick steps, grabbed Wang Zhao and Yang Yong's hands and dragged them into his room, then opened the tunnel under the shocked gazes of the two men.

"You go in first."

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong looked at Li Rui in surprise. Seeing that he had no intention of going in together, they couldn't help but panic:

"Master, what about you?"

Li Rui said in a deep voice: "Liang He is still outside, I want to find him and bring him back."

As a teacher, he is one of the most outstanding people in the city, so he can't just sit back and watch.
After the new city of Qinghe was established, it was divided into inner city and outer city.

There is also a circle of city walls in the inner city.

Fortunately, the inner city has not been breached yet, and those living inside are all prominent nobles of Qinghe. As for the outer city, it has completely fallen.

The Tiandi Alliance is not one of the eight major sects.

Even if I could afford it, I couldn’t buy land in the inner city, so I stayed in the original location, east of the outer city.

A flash of golden light shot through the head of a giant python, leaving a long line of blood.

The little girl covered by the giant python's body didn't even know what had just happened.

Magical power at the snap of a finger!
Li Rui didn't need feather arrows, he could kill the monster with just a snap of his fingers. The power was extremely great, and he didn't have to worry about retrieving the arrows.

"Save as many as you can."

He sighed inwardly.

There were two corpses lying next to the little girl, a man and a woman. Even if she killed the python, they might not be able to survive in such a chaotic world.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Li Rui is neither a saint nor a cold-blooded person.

His current fifth-grade realm was already considered very high in Qinghe. He could easily save someone, so why not do it?

Although there are many monsters attacking the city.

But most of them are average in strength.

He could easily kill the monster without losing anything. 'So, what happened?'

Before leaving An Ning Wei, he had been to the Military Affairs Office, where only a group of Huaqing Sect disciples were left. Jiang Linxian was missing, and Jiang Yan was also missing.

Everything had a weird quality to it.

Li Rui looked at the smoke in the void.

A bloody red.

County government office.

The chief elders of the eight major sects in the city gathered together.

"Where's Zhong Zheng?"

"Why is the city gate open?"

"The Qinghe government needs to give us an explanation!"

If the city gates had not been open, the monsters would not have been able to wreak havoc in the city so easily.

They lived in the inner city, which was relatively safe, but many of their properties were in the outer city, which was difficult for them to accept, so they gathered together to attack the county government.

Chief Clerk Liu Quan had a bitter look on his face.

You ask me.

I asked who to go?

It was really a weird thing. First the magistrate of Qinghe died, and now even the county magistrate was missing. At the critical moment, it turned out that he, the third-ranked chief clerk, was the biggest troublemaker.

Heaven.

"I am just a small clerk in the county government!"

"The situation is unclear, but Qinghe is in trouble now. I hope the eight elders can help. The court will definitely remember this kindness."

Liu Quan quickly calmed himself down.

How could he be an ordinary person if he could become the chief clerk, and a seventh-rank chief clerk in Qinghe?
He definitely won't take the blame.

But it is not yet to the point where we would have to break off relations with the eight major sects.

Monsters are besieging the city, and they are all in the same boat. Now the people from An Ning Wei haven't arrived yet, and it is obvious that something has happened. The only ones he can count on are the elders from the eight major sects.

Zhou Ting, the elder of Baizhan Sect, has a hot temper.

He snorted and was the first to speak: "A bunch of flat-haired people who came out of nowhere are really allowed to ride on my head and shit?"

Shi Zhou, the elder of Shenbing Villa, smiled coldly:

"Of course the monster must be killed, but the culprit must be found!"

He thought more deeply than Zhou Ting.

The monsters that entered the city today were not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

Otherwise, how do we explain the open gates of Qinghe?

Someone did it on purpose.

Although the elders of the other six sects remained silent, their attitudes were very clear.

It is necessary to suppress the rebellion.

They not only represent themselves, but also the sect behind them. If the people in their own sect knew about the group of monsters, they would be so scared that they dared not go out. How can they survive in the world in the future?

Seeing that the leaders of the eight major sects all agreed to take action.

The chief clerk Liu Quan was more excited than ever before, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.

Sometimes a crisis represents an opportunity.

He is just a chief clerk, without a county magistrate or a county magistrate. If he can suppress this rebellion, it will be a great achievement and he may even be promoted directly to the position of prefect.

'Great opportunity, great fortune!'

Liu Quan seemed to have seen the golden road to promotion slowly opening towards him.

Breathing became rapid.

Suddenly—

Liu Quan's eyes turned into fear, and his hands completely ignored his commands. He slowly raised up and hugged his head.

Click
After a crisp sound of bones breaking.

Then Liu Quan twisted his own head off.

Seeing such a strange scene, the elders of the eight major sects all looked solemn.

Zhou Ting was the first to jump up:
"Demon, stop playing tricks here!"

The sledgehammer behind him smashed towards the door like a gust of wind.

Bang!
Zhou Ting's body flew backwards instantly, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

If they were just angry when the chief clerk Liu Quan died before, now they are filled with fear.

Who is Zhou Ting?
That’s a fifth-grade junior grandmaster!

He was unexpectedly knocked flying by someone in a face-to-face encounter. The person who attacked him at least crushed Zhou Ting in terms of strength.

The Baizhan Sect follows the path of horizontal training, and there are very few people of the same level in the martial arts world who can crush the Baizhan Sect in terms of strength.

So there is only one answer.

'Fourth-grade Xiantian!'

The other seven elders all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Elder Bai of Dao Shi Zong was quick-witted and quick-handed. He used his strength to catch Zhou Ting and stared at the door.

"Since the elders are all here, it saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

A female voice sounded.

Mrs. Ling Luo walked into the room leisurely.

He didn't care about the looks of the others at all. He just glanced at Liu Quan on the ground and said, "Master Liu, don't worry. The county magistrate and the registrar have already gone down to wait for you."

Hear the words.

The elders of the eight major sects all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The magistrate Zhuang Renhe was already dead. This woman killed the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the registrar in one breath. All the people in the Qinghe County government were killed.

Shi Zhou looked at the towering man behind the woman with fear, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“It’s really innate.”

At the innate realm, even if eight of them attacked together, they might not be a match for that sturdy man.

At this time.

Bai Jing from Daoxuan Sect suddenly asked, "Lord of Lingluo City?"

When Madam Ling Luo saw that someone had recognized her, she smiled even more charmingly: "Senior, do you recognize me?"

Seeing that Mrs. Lingluo did not deny it.

The faces of the other people instantly became extremely ugly.

The woman in front of him was the mayor of Mangu City, and today’s siege was obviously caused by this woman.

It's simply outrageous!
What does she want to do?
Failure to declare war on the State of Yu?
Madam Ling Luo smiled and sat in the seat that Liu Zhubu had occupied before: "I came here today to discuss a business deal with the elders?"

Business?

The eight people in the room looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what Madam Ling Luo was trying to say.

Moreover, what is the difference between doing business with the rebels of the Wu Kingdom and treason?
"How could we collude with a seductress like you?"

A middle-aged man with a curly beard was the first to disagree.

Mrs. Ling Luo winked at the burly man behind her.

boom!
There was a loud bang.

The elder of Beiyue Sect, a middle-aged man with curly beard, was knocked out of the house by a punch, leaving only a huge hole.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking.

This woman is really as cruel as the rumors say.

Shi Zhou quickly said, "Lord Lingluo, please tell us."

Madam Ling Luo narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled with satisfaction:

"Everyone, go back and control your disciples. In return, no one else will know what happened here. How about that?"

The people in the room looked at each other.

I couldn't make up my mind for a moment.

It was Shi Zhou who spoke first: "Okay."

With the first person taking the lead, the rest became much easier, and even Zhou Ting nodded in the end.

See this scene.

Only then did Mrs. Ling Luo stand up.

If Qinghe City wants to capture Jiang Linxian, it must prevent people from the eight major sects from causing trouble.

Someone will kill Jiang Linxian.

She just needs to control the people from the eight major sects.

Just then, a man in black came up to her and whispered something. Then Mrs. Ling Luo's face changed drastically. She walked out of the room quickly and disappeared into the fiery red night.

Only a few people were left looking at each other.

The bearded man who was being supported spat and said, "Why did you, Shenbing Villa, keep a weakling like you? Shi, don't say you've ever had a drink with me in the future."

They are all well-known elders of the eight major sects, so of course they have personal relationships with each other.

The bearded man had drunk wine with Shi Zhou countless times.

I used to think that Shi Zhou was an outlier in Shenbing Villa and didn’t have the generosity of Shenbing Villa. Now, it seems that he is a coward!
Shi Zhou glanced at the bearded man:
"Elder Hu, if I hadn't spoken just now, you would have been beaten to death now."

At this time, Elder Bai of Daoxuan Sect also chimed in: "Elder Hu, the enemy was strong and we were weak just now, so we used a delaying tactic. Otherwise, none of us in the room would be able to leave tonight."

The bearded man was speechless for a moment.

But he also understood that Shi Zhou had indeed saved his life just now.

Zhou Ting suddenly said, "Don't worry about that stupid ass. They seem to have all left. What should we do next?"

Shi Zhou's mouth corners slightly raised.

Madam Ling Luo was obviously a little flustered when she left just now. Considering that woman's temperament was shaken, it must be a big deal.

Clearly, things have taken a turn for the better.

He has developed a good temper over the years, but he was born a blacksmith after all. Do they really think that you, Uncle Shi, are made of clay and have a good temper?

Is a woman from the Wu Kingdom worthy of riding on their heads?
"Fuck her, of course."

"No, fuck her!"
