If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 182: War Begins, Strange City
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only Amber and Shen Bai were there, no one else.

When Amber said this, Shen Bai touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said that he only half understood it.

"What you meant just now was that Hongzhuang is not a strange beast, but is evolving into a strange beast. Isn't she a human?" Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and asked.

The two words "strange beast" contain the word "beast".

If that's the case, then it should be a beast.

But Hongzhuang is clearly a human, not an animal.

Paper figures are also people.

At least it has nothing to do with beasts, not even a little bit.

Now suddenly there is a monster that is about to evolve into a strange beast. Shen Bai finds it a little unbelievable.

Amber scratched her head hard, her emerald eyes full of confusion.

She is still recalling her memories about this, so her expression is like this at the moment.

After all, the part of the strange beast's memory about inheritance can only be awakened when it encounters the corresponding thing.

Seeing this, Shen Bai watched Amber thinking and did not say anything to disturb her.

After about an incense stick of time had passed, the amber and emerald-like eyes gradually brightened.

"Master, I figured it out."

Amber clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Those that are neither human nor strange can be classified as animals because they cannot be identified."

"Hongzhuang is not human, nor is she a monster, but she is born with a weird aura and has spirituality, so she can indeed be considered weird."

Speaking of this, Amber couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her wit.

Although these are her inherited memories and have nothing to do with her, they are at least her memories.

Now, she has solved another mystery for her master.

As expected, she is the most useful monster.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Then you said before that Hong Zhuang needed an opportunity to transform into a strange beast. What is this opportunity?"

Shen Bai didn't want to delve further into the question of whether Hongzhuang was a beast or not.

What he needs to know now is what the opportunity for Hong Zhuang is.

Amber scratched her little head again and thought carefully.

After a while, Amber raised her head and said.

"Master, I guess it has something to do with the strange city."

Weird city?

Shen Bai said: "Tell me your guess in detail."

Amber nodded vigorously and said, "Hongzhuang was born in the Weird City. I can sense that the Weird City is a kind of bondage to her. If she wants to completely transform into a strange beast, she must break free from the bondage of the Weird City, but I don't know how."

“Master, Hongzhuang is so close to you, perhaps to break free from the constraints of the strange city and transform into a strange beast.”

Shen Bai pondered and said, "That seems to make sense."

Hong Zhuang went to great lengths to get close to him, it couldn't possibly be just to talk to him, there must be some other deeper meaning behind it.

Now, combining Amber's explanation with his previous speculation, Shen Bai felt that it might be true as Amber said.

Hong Zhuang approached him in order to escape from the strange city and to gain complete freedom.

"No matter what, let's enter the strange city first and see what the situation is." Shen Bai thought.

Shen Bai must enter the strange city.

Not to mention anything else, I went in twice and obtained twenty strands of evil spirits. Where can I find such a good thing?
It was the time when evil spirit was lacking, and Shen Bai didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Moreover, Shen Bai was even more greedy for the great opportunity revealed by the divine power of divination.

If you’re not greedy, you’re not Shen Bai.

"Anyway, let's talk about it after we enter the strange city." Shen Bai made up his mind.

He let Amber continue to return to his body, while he seized the opportunity and began to practice his divination skills.

Although I am still far from being proficient, I am trying my best to do as much as I can.

Time passed gradually.

……

The next day.

When the first rays of sunlight shone in in the early morning, Shen Bai had already walked out of the five-story building.

On the open ground, more than a hundred members of the Tianjian Division gathered together, and each of them had the strength of the Huaxu realm.

When Shen Bai walked out of the five-story building, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Bai. They only needed to wait for Shen Bai's order before they could set off to the strange city.

At this moment, although the strange city has not yet arrived, a trace of its aura has already been released.

Zheng Xing stepped forward and said, "Master Shen, after a sleepless night of calculations, combining resentment with previous reports of strange cities, we've roughly figured out where the strange city will land. It's right here."

As he spoke, Zheng Xing took out a map and slowly opened it in front of Shen Bai.

The map is very large, covering the entire Nanxing Prefecture, which is equivalent to a smaller version of Nanxing Prefecture.

And on the map, there is a big circle drawn.

The circle is dotted with red pen, which is obviously very important.

Due to the slight leakage of aura, the approximate location of the strange city can be calculated.

Shen Bai took a rough look at the specific location and said, "This area is not close to the location of Nanxing Mansion."

On the map, the location of the red circle is some distance away from Nanxing Prefecture. It can be said that if the strange city comes, Nanxing Prefecture will not be affected too much in the beginning.

Zheng Xing nodded and said, "In the past, the strange city usually descended in a busy downtown area. If you were not careful, it would cause huge casualties."

"But this time it's different. Perhaps it has something to do with Hongzhuang. Hongzhuang may be consciously avoiding busy areas."

According to historical records, although Hong Zhuang was born in misfortune, she was actually very kind-hearted.

Because of this, Zheng Xing guessed that perhaps it was because of Hong Zhuang's kindness that the arrival of the strange city went astray.

"Although there is such speculation, we should not jump to conclusions on many things," said Shen Bai.

Zheng Xing nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Shen, I understand."

Wu Tian said, "Now that we have all the manpower, Sir Shen, when do you plan to set off?"

"Of course now." Shen Bai said.

Now that everyone is here, there is no need for him to delay.

Set off early and finish things early, so that Shen Bai can go back and improve his proficiency earlier.

Moreover, by arriving at the designated location first, Shen Bai can also plan ahead.

After all, this incident happened. Although many forces in the martial arts world were unaware of it because it happened early, the guys from the Wild Taoist Sect, the Wild Buddhist Sect and the Xinhuo Academy had to be on guard against it.

Safety is the foundation.

We can also take this opportunity to wipe out the evil forces, which is a two-pronged approach.

"set off!"

Shen Bai stood where everyone's eyes were focused and waved his hand.

Everyone bowed in unison: "As you command!"

Led by Shen Bai, the members of the Tianjian Division walked out of the Tianjian Division together.

Soon, it disappeared at the end of the street.

Zheng Xing and Wu Tian did not go.

The two of them are the top combat forces of Jiantian Division besides Shen Bai, so they have to stay in Jiantian Division to prevent the rear from being left empty.

Wu Tian showed a worried look on his face and said, "I don't know if this trip will go smoothly."

Although they all have confidence in Lord Shen, it is a strange city after all, an extremely mysterious and bizarre existence.

It was precisely for this reason that the two of them were worried.

"It should be fine."

Zheng Xing retracted his gaze and said, "Since Lord Shen came to Nanxing Prefecture, he has always been able to turn danger into safety. This time, I believe that Lord Shen will not only be fine, but he can even inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

"hope so."

Wu Tian nodded and said, "All we can do is guard the rear, so as not to let Lord Shen worry about it, and not to cause trouble for Lord Shen."

"So, go ahead and get things done." Zheng Xing said slowly.

The two of them did not stop and began to deal with the affairs of the new day.

……

Hansui Mountain.

This is a hill on the north side of Nanxing Prefecture, the closest to the edge of Nanxing Prefecture.

Due to its remote location, few people know about this place.

After learning the specific scope yesterday, the Tianshi Division brought people to clear out all irrelevant personnel here.

At this moment, when Shen Bai arrived with the members of the Tianjian Division, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the mountain that towered into the clouds.

"Yes, it's a beautiful place." Shen Bai said.

Yao Long, the chief of the armor, nodded and said, "Master Shen is right. If I don't work as a celestial supervisor anymore, it would be a good thing to live here in seclusion with my wife and children."

Shen Bai turned around and said, "You're right. This place is indeed suitable for seclusion."

Yao Long smiled.

Recluse?

Anyone who enters the Heavenly Monitoring Department will quickly dismiss this thought even if they have it.

They are members of the Tianjiansi, people who work hard for the future of the Great Zhou Kingdom and maintain the security of the world.

Once you enter the Tianjiansi, no one will ever leave by retirement.

Unless you are injured and can't continue.

Of course, this is what they want.

Adults should think about the consequences before doing anything.

And before they entered, they were willing to bear the consequences.

"Arrange the protection around you and be careful." Shen Bai added.

After saying this, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he found a place to sit down and rest, waiting for the arrival of the strange city.

While Shen Bai was waiting, a large crowd of people had already gathered on the outskirts of the mountain.

Looking up, there are thousands of them.

The strength of these people varies in levels, some are at the Void Transformation Realm, and some are at the Unity Realm.

And there was a hint of madness in everyone's eyes.

They are all the elites of Xinhuo Academy. Although they are much inferior to Jiantian Division, they are already the best personnel that Nanxing Prefecture Xinhuo Academy can provide.

Abbot Xuanzhen, Taoist Qihuang and the branch director stood at the front, looking at the woods not far away, but were reluctant to move forward.

"They have fenced off the top of this mountain. It's extremely difficult to get in now."

"After the strange city descends, if they leave some people to guard here, it will be even more difficult for us to get in." Taoist Qihuang said.

They really didn't expect that today, when they were full of confidence and led the elite from all over the place to the location of the strange city and were preparing to do something big, they didn't expect that before that, the people from the Tianjiansi had arrived in advance.

Originally, according to Abbot Xuanzhen, the people in the Heavenly Monitoring Office should not know that a strange city would descend here.

But now something unusual has occurred.

Not only did the people from the Tianjiansi know about it, they also surrounded the entire mountain.

After the strange city comes, there will be a range. If you want to enter the strange city, if you don’t enter this range, there is no possibility of entering.

The current situation is a bit troublesome.

If the members of the Heavenly Monitoring Division had surrounded the Weird City before this, it would be difficult for them to make further progress.

Although it does not appear that they have done so yet, they dare not set foot in it now.

Abbot Xuanzhen gritted his teeth, a look of speechlessness in his eyes.

He felt that he had been secretive enough this time and the other party should not notice.

But he really didn't expect that Shen Bai had gotten the information from somewhere and had arrived here in advance.

What lies before them now is how to get in.

Now, although there is no one guarding it, it would be the most uncomfortable if they were suddenly found after they all went in and found a good position.

"If there's no other way, we can only force our way in."

Abbot Xuanzhen said slowly: "As long as we enter it, we can communicate and enter the strange city. We may suffer losses, but this is the best way."

The branch dean and Taoist Qihuang looked at each other without saying a word.

Obviously, although the method mentioned by Abbot Xuanzhen is dangerous, it is indeed the most practical method at present.

After all, with such a large area, there will always be one or two people who can rush in. Once they rush in, they can immediately communicate with the strange city and be teleported in.

Even if there are losses, it will not hurt the foundation.

Thinking of this, the branch dean nodded.

"Okay, I'll pass on your order. This matter must be done well."

Now that the decision has been made and everyone has agreed, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

If he loses this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to kill Shen Bai next time, and he will also face Shen Bai's revenge.

Their information is much better than other forces in the martial arts world. They have already discovered through various details the terrifying strength of Shen Bai who has been promoted to the state of unity.

Therefore, Shen Bai can now defeat those in the Huaxu realm by taking advantage of the adversity and make them helpless against him, or even kill them all directly.

Because of this, they don't have much time left.

There is no wall that is completely airtight. One day Shen Bai will find out. If he is found out, he will find clues and be killed by Shen Bai by following the clues.

This is the only time to turn the tables.

"What should we do after we go in?" asked Taoist Qihuang.

Abbot Xuanzhen said slowly, "After entering, find a way to activate the rules of the Weird City and plunge the entire Weird City into the terror of the rules. Even the Heavenly Supervisor will find it difficult to cope."

Taoist Qi Huang pondered for a moment and said, "Your statement is different from before. You told us before that we entered the Weird City to use the weirdness inside to deal with Shen Bai, and we only need to play a supporting role."

The branch dean also looked at Abbot Xuan Zhen: "If the rules of the Weird City are triggered, it will be a lose-lose situation. Not only Shen Bai, but even we may be threatened by the Weird City."

What Abbot Xuanzhen meant before was that there were no collision rules.

If you violate the rules, do not act according to the rules, or even want to break the rules, it will turn into extreme terror.

This kind of terror is not discriminatory. No matter who you are, you will be attacked.

Therefore, the branch director felt that Abbot Xuanzhen’s idea seemed a bit extreme.

Even if the Tianjiansi was destroyed at that time, they would still suffer horrific consequences.

The disciples of Xinhuo Academy around them also heard the conversation between the few people.

When he heard this plan, a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of every disciple.

In the eyes of the world, they are crazy, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of death.

They even want to live well and study their experiments.

There was no other way, so he was brought out to deal with Shen Bai.

No one is not afraid when facing death.

Abbot Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Indeed, what you two said makes sense, but it's not without reason. After entering, we should immediately disperse. The Weird City is huge, so after we disperse, we can first explore the location of the members of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau, then destroy the rules and completely destroy them."

"As for breaking the rules, it only takes one person to do so. After all, one move can affect the entire system."

"First, we need to eliminate the members of the Tianjian Division, and then Shen Bai will be easy to deal with. With the combined efforts of us and our men, even if Shen Bai is in dire straits, we can completely eliminate him."

"But those who break the rules will die. Who would be willing to go?" Taoist Qihuang frowned and said.

The method Abbot Xuanzhen just mentioned can indeed exchange the smallest loss for the greatest benefit.

But the problem is coming.

The person who is instigated will surely perish as well, there is no doubt about that.

So who to send is a very serious question.

After all, if it were him, he would not give up the possibility of his life for this group of temporary partners.

Abbot Xuanzhen didn't say anything else, and his meaning was very clear.

Such casualties should be inevitable.

Upon seeing this, the branch dean turned back to look at his disciples and said slowly, "Death is inevitable. If we don't kill Shen Bai this time, we will definitely die. If we kill Shen Bai, we still have a chance of survival. Even if we break the rules, we may still survive. But if Shen Bai doesn't die, we will definitely not be able to survive."

"Perhaps you should have thought about these."

The members of the Habit Academy present were all silent. In fact, as the branch dean had said, destroying the rules would lead to the appearance of terrifying strangeness, or even if the strangeness did not appear, there was a possibility of death.

But at least in this strange city, everyone can work together to survive.

If Shen Bai's revenge came, with the ruthlessness that Shen Bai was now known for in the martial arts world, they would definitely have no chance of survival.

With just a few simple words, the branch director tied everyone on a boat, but they had no choice but to get on board.

Without anyone answering, the branch dean could already see everyone's thoughts from their expressions.

Then he turned and looked at Abbot Xuanzhen.

"I'm almost done here. Next, I just have to wait for the arrival of the strange city."

Abbot Xuanzhen nodded and said, "In that case, I feel relieved."

Immediately afterwards, everyone present stopped talking and adjusted their state to be at the peak moment to welcome the arrival of the strange city.

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying noise suddenly resounded throughout the world.

The ground around them began to vibrate slightly. At first the vibration was small, but as time passed, the vibration became increasingly violent.

As the huge vibration emerged, a cold, ancient and desolate atmosphere gradually filled the surroundings.

In just a blink of an eye, the scenery in front of me was like being covered with a thick layer of mosaic and was rapidly becoming blurred.

As the scenery gradually blurred, the cold and ancient atmosphere was rapidly intensifying.

In just a few breaths, everything around had become so blurred that the specific scenery could no longer be seen.

Abbot Xuanzhen clasped his hands together, his face calm, and said, "The strange city has arrived."

Ahead, the edge of the strange city looked normal, as if there was nothing there.

But anyone who practices cultivation knows that if they take a few more steps forward, they will instantly arrive at the strange city.

The branch dean frowned and asked, "Why didn't they send people to guard the area?"

Taoist Qihuang also had doubts in his heart.

"Perhaps they haven't calculated the scope of the strange city, so they are just guarding the outside."

"There's no time left. Even if it's a pit, we have to jump in."

They have made so many plans and have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. If they don't continue, they will lose both the wife and the army.

Abbot Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Everyone, please follow me. This journey may be life or death, but even if I die, I must drag Shen Bai down with me."

Then, as if to show his determination, he took the lead and stepped in.

Soon, Abbot Xuanzhen disappeared.

As Abbot Xuanzhen disappeared, everyone looked at each other and went in one by one.

Soon, there was no one left in the space and it returned to silence, as if no one had ever appeared.

……

On the other side, Shen Bai looked at the familiar city around him and the atmosphere of ancient decay, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Beside him, Yao Long bowed and said, "Master Shen, we have entered the strange city."

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes as he spoke.

Shen Bai saw through it and said calmly, "You want to ask me why I didn't send anyone to guard the area, right?"

Yao Long nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, Lord Shen, why don't you guard them? If the evil forces want to enter, I'm afraid there will be a big commotion."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "No, our goal is not only to deal with the strange city, but also to eliminate the evil forces. If they are guarded too tightly, they can't get in. Only by opening this hole and letting them in can we have a chance to completely eliminate them."

When Yao Long heard what Shen Bai said, he nodded in agreement.

Shen Bai looked around.

One hundred members of the Heavenly Monitoring Department were all guarding seriously.

At this moment, when they felt Shen Bai's gaze, they also turned their eyes over.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Everyone, pay attention! This is going to be a tough battle. What you have to do is simple: while trying your best to save your own lives, destroy the Weird City and the evil forces within it."

"During this period, any method can be used, at any cost."

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed their hands.

Shen Bai looked at Yao Long and said, "You and the leader of Division B must follow the plan we agreed upon earlier. Remember, I don't want you to separate. Instead, we must unite as one and push through street by street."

Yao Long agreed and asked, "Master Shen, are you sure you don't want to go with us?"

"I wanted to go with you, but now it seems that I can't."

Shen Bai turned his gaze to the void in front of him.

There, a figure was constantly swaying.

The lady in red dress and red makeup approached slowly with lotus steps.

Yao Long also saw it and immediately drew his weapon, saying, "Protect Lord Shen."

Shen Bai pressed Yao Long's shoulder and said, "No need. I came here to see her. You can just act according to your own way."

As soon as the words fell, Hongzhuang, wearing a red veil, bowed slightly to Shen Bai.

"Sir, besides you, another group of people have entered the strange city. Are they your enemies?"

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "According to what the young lady said, it seems that the young lady has control over this strange city."

Hong Zhuang's sudden words just now actually showed that she knew the strange city very well.

Needless to say, Shen Bai also guessed who the other group of people who appeared were.

Hong Zhuang nodded slightly. Due to the red veil, her expression could not be seen. "Sir, I have used my full power to suspend all the rules of Weird City. That group is currently located in the north of Weird City. You can go directly there and find them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai said, "Yao Long, take your men to the north and kill them if you encounter them."

Yao Long took the order and immediately took everyone away from the street.

Hongzhuang's tone was a little soft: "Sir, aren't you going with them?"

Shen Bai said slowly: "I would like to go, but judging from the situation, you don't seem willing to let me go with them."

As he said this, Shen Bai felt that there were eyes staring at him around his body.

At this moment, after Yao Long left, those eyes revealed their true faces.

They were red lanterns, and in each lantern there was a pair of captivating eyes, filled with bloodthirstiness and murderous intent.

These are not weird, they are also the product of rules.

Hong Zhuang sighed, "Sir, I mean no harm, but you really can't go alone right now. Could you please give me a chance and find a place to talk with me in detail?"

"As for the young master's men, they won't be in any danger. Although there are three people at the peak of the Huaxu realm in that group, the others are just chickens and dogs. The young master has hundreds of Huaxu realm people, including many veterans in the Huaxu realm, who can also deal with them."

"Didn't you arrange these things?" Shen Bai asked, looking at the lanterns around him.

Hongzhuang shook her head and said, "It wasn't me who did it. After you used the reflection to enter this city, you were already remembered by this city. The whole city is full of weirdness. I can only control a little bit. I have already tried my best."

"If I continue to let you walk around as you please, I won't be able to control the rules of this strange city."

Although Shen Bai didn't know whether Hong Zhuang's words were true or not, he still said, "Lead the way."

He didn't want to say anything extra. Since Hongzhuang wanted to talk to him, they should go to a safe place and talk.

As for whether it is dangerous...

Shen Bai could indeed feel Hong Zhuang's aura, which was at the peak level of the Huaxu realm.

However, for Shen Bai, this level is not enough at the moment.

Hong Zhuang turned her body slightly, raised her hand and said, "Young Master, please come in."

Shen Bai was not polite. He waved his hand and walked in the direction Hong Zhuang pointed.

Soon, the two disappeared down the street.

……

Yao Long received the order and headed north with hundreds of masters in the Void Realm under his command.

At this moment, we crossed the streets one after another.

Originally, the streets of the strange city were extremely scary, but at this moment, apart from the ancient and decayed atmosphere, the strange city looked no different from an ordinary city.

"As the woman in red said, all the rules have been temporarily suppressed. So, let's follow Lord Shen's method and kill the evil forces first."

Yao Long turned around and spoke to the leader of Division B.

Zhang He, the leader of Division B, nodded and said, "Master Yao, the people coming this time are definitely quite powerful. It looks like we're going to be in for a tough fight. We'll have to bring out the best of the Nanxing Prefecture's Heavenly Supervisors."

Hearing this, Yao Long looked at the people following behind him and said, "Everyone, take out your formation cards. Take out all of them."

When the members present heard the order, they hurried on their way while raising their hands to take out the sign from their waists and crushing it at the same time.

After each sign was crushed, it immediately turned into ashes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There were invisible air currents that connected all the people present together.

The formation board is the most useful thing for the city-level Tianjian Division. It is cast by a casting master according to the situation of each member of the Tianjian Division.

Each plate contains a hidden formation. Once crushed, it will allow everyone to attack and defend at the same time, unleashing terrifying power.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Bai let Yao Long go alone first, to prevent those evil forces from having any chance of survival.

This is the horror of the Heavenly Supervisor.

This cannot be seen in state-level cities, but in prefecture-level cities, not only are they powerful, but they also have all kinds of terrifying backgrounds.

After all, they rely on the Great Zhou Kingdom. Each of these formation cards is worth a lot of money, and only the Great Zhou Kingdom has the resources to do so.

After the formation card was used, Yao Long and others moved faster.

After they passed through one city after another, they finally saw the enemy.

Abbot Xuanzhen and several branch deans all had confused expressions on their faces at this time.

They didn't know why, but when they entered the strange city, they found that the city had become very ordinary, so ordinary that it was even easy to forget.

The rules are gone, the weirdness is gone, and there are only ordinary streets.

Not even a hair can be seen.

"What's going on? Is this the strange city you mentioned?"

Taoist Qihuang looked around and his face turned ugly.

If the strange city is real, they should be in danger now, but now there is no danger at all, which is very special.

The dean also frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Abbot Xuanzhen was also confused when he entered.

Because he couldn't understand what was going on.

After all, the strange city in front of him was so weird that even Abbot Xuanzhen wondered if he had seen it wrong.

No, this isn't right.

There should be rules.

Even if there are no rules, there will always be one or two weird things happening.

Why is it so deserted now, with nothing here?
What is the reason for this?
All kinds of thoughts appeared in Abbot Xuanzhen's mind.

However, this thought did not last long, as he felt a strong sense of oppression.

When Abbot Xuanzhen turned around, he saw Yao Long and Zhang He, along with hundreds of Tianjiansi masters in the Huaxu realm, approaching rapidly at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Be alert, the enemy is coming, be alert quickly!" Abbot Xuanzhen shouted.

He didn't have time to think about it now, after all, the enemy was right in front of him.

In the middle, there is no nonsense, not even a word.

Yao Long and Zhang He mobilized the power of the formation and attacked Abbot Xuanzhen and others.

Even at the peak of the Void Transformation Realm, one would have to temporarily avoid the attack launched by the integrated offense and defense.

The branch dean commanded everyone in Xinhuo Academy and fought with Yao Long and others.

The battle continued to spread in a tragic way.

Abbot Xuanzhen, the branch dean and Taoist Qihuang, the three of them are masters at the peak of the Huaxu realm, but at this moment, their faces are full of solemnity.

Their attacks were so terrifying that the earth and sky shook, but when they landed on Yao Long and the others, they were instantly neutralized by the combined offense and defense formation.

Not only that, Yao Long and others can even fight back against them with the power of thunder.

Perhaps when a master at the peak of the Void Realm launches an attack, it is enough to terrify people.

But if they were divided equally among a hundred people in the Void Transformation Realm, their attacks would seem insignificant.

The elite members of Xinhuo Academy brought by the branch dean are merely the elite among the evil forces. Compared to the hundreds of masters in the Huaxu realm, they are nothing.

At this moment, Yao Long was also a veteran of the battlefield, and their attacks prioritized the members of Xinhuo Academy.

There has been a continuous reduction in the number of staff at Xinhuo Academy, and although Yao Long is also under great pressure, he is still able to cope with it for now.

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive. Bring their heads to report to Lord Shen for credit!" Yao Long's face was ice-cold, and his tone was filled with terrifying murderous intent.

Since Lord Shen came to Nanxing Prefecture, he has done many great things. Today it is time for them to play a role.

"Today it's a fight between you and me, don't retreat!" Taoist Qihuang's face was solemn, and he held one talisman paper after another in his hands.

"This is the formation card of the Nanxing Prefecture's Heavenly Supervisor. They won't be able to maintain this state for long, half an hour at most. If they can survive this half hour, they will be our prey."

Everyone else knew it without him saying it.

At this moment, the only outcome is life or death, there is no other possibility.

The battle is gradually spreading, and the streets of the strange city are constantly turning into ruins in the battle between the two sides.

Shen Bai and Hong Zhuang were sitting in a restaurant.

Listening to the roar coming from his ears, Shen Bai's face remained calm.

Hongzhuang lifted her red veil, revealing her delicate face that looked like nothing human. She took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, sir. Your men are still in the upper hand. I can sense it."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I know it without you telling me."

Of course Shen Bai understood things like formation cards, after all, he was now the head of the Si Mansion.

It was because of the formation card that he let Yao Long and others go.

Otherwise he wouldn't be so relieved.

"Then let's talk about what's between us." Hongzhuang put down the teacup in her hand.

In Shen Bai's opinion, the teacup had a rotten smell, and he had no interest in it at all.

However, when Hongzhuang talked about the so-called matter, Shen Bai became interested.

"Okay, let's talk. Where do you want to start?" Shen Bai said.

After thinking for a moment, Hong Zhuang said, "How about we start with my life story?"

She originally thought that Shen Bai would be interested in her background, after all, he had revealed so much before.

But she never expected that after she finished speaking, Shen Bai told her everything about her life.

Hong Zhuang was slightly surprised: "In this day and age, information is so freely available?"

Shen Bai nodded and said, "So at the moment, I'm really not interested in your identity. What interests me is other things."

Hong Zhuang raised her fair fingers slightly, swiping them across the vermilion tabletop. She asked, "Sir, since I'm not interested in your background, then please tell me what you're interested in. I'll tell you everything I know."

Although she was surprised at how fast information was moving in the world these days, Hongzhuang felt that these were not issues she should be concerned about.

What she cares more about now is why Shen Bai is interested in her.

Because of what she was going to do next, she had to ask Shen Bai for help, and she had already thought of the reward.

But it would be a bit of a spoiler to bring it up now, so I'll answer Shen Bai's question first.

Shen Bai tapped the table lightly with his fingers, then organized his words and gradually asked the questions he wanted to know.

"First, I want to know whether you are a strange beast or not. Secondly, I want to know what the opportunity was that led you to become a strange beast. Finally, you need to tell me why you want to cooperate with me?"

"Should I turn you into a strange beast, or completely destroy this strange city?"

These are the questions that Shen Bai wants to know the most. If even these questions are not answered, then Shen Bai has nothing more to say.

There was no need to keep this strange city, so it was destroyed directly, along with the red makeup in front of him.

He is not a womanizer, nor will he allow danger to occur in his hands.

Feeling Shen Baishen's faint murderous aura, Hong Zhuang knew that if she was not careful, she would make a mistake.

After carefully thinking about Shen Bai's question, Hong Zhuang took off the veil in front of her, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Those eyes held a hint of humanity as they looked directly into Shen Bai's gaze without any aversion.

"I am a miserable person. I have been in despair since I was born, but I have never blamed the world."

Hong Zhuang scratched the table with her blood-red nails and said slowly, "I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you, sir. Since you want to know these questions, I will start with the first one."

"I am indeed about to transform into a strange beast, but I need an opportunity, and that opportunity is this strange city."
