Jade Blood Plain, the main city.

In a neighborhood near the edge of the city, compact houses are densely packed.

Because almost every household has been renovated and expanded, the originally planned lanes that were not wide enough have become even narrower.

It is winding and can only accommodate one person. If two people are facing each other, they must turn sideways and stick to the walls on both sides to pass.

Some careless people did not do a good job in drainage during renovation and expansion, causing sewage to overflow.

As for the main city and the surrounding areas around the city, they are all located like this.

When such a situation appears in the main city of Blue Blood Plains, foreign monks will find it incredible when they see it for the first time.

It is outrageous no matter how you think about the fact that there is such a place in the most prosperous place with second-level spiritual veins.

Those forces that can speak out in the main city have never thought of making changes.

But as long as you take the time to understand it a little deeper, everyone will give up on this matter.

Because the Blue Blood Plain is often visited by "friendly neighbors", all places where monks live must be protected by powerful formations.

This is destined to mean that every inch of land in a place like this is precious, and not an inch is superfluous.

Unless the formation is comprehensively upgraded, the size of these areas has been determined from the moment the formation is successfully deployed. As the population multiplies, it is inevitable that the per capita land use will become increasingly tight.

If you want to fundamentally change these problems, there are only two ways.

Either the battle strategy is completely upgraded and the coverage of the main city is expanded. All the forces will suffer heavy bleeding and it will be easy to tighten their belts and live a life.

Either drive out the excess population, and given the situation in Blue Blood Plains, this is no different from letting people die.

Therefore, it seems that there are two ways, but in fact there is no way.

And in such a place where sewage flows and turbid air overflows, a farce is still going on at this moment.

A young man with a face as pale as paper and skinny bones was lying half-dead on the bed. A man in brocade clothes was directing two people to carry the bed out of the room.

When they were carrying the bed board and were about to step out, the man in brocade stopped with his hand raised, took two steps forward, looked down at the young man on the bed board, and asked:

"Xiao Fan, do you have anything else to say?"

He asked solemnly, but the joking in his eyes was not hidden at all.

The young man he called Xiao Fan was lying on the bed, staring blankly into the void, like a living dead, and did not respond at all to the young man's questions.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the house.

Then, a girl rushed in like crazy.

He stood in front of the bed board, blocking the way of several people, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? What are you going to do to my brother?"

The man's death-like eyes on the bed finally trembled.

The man in brocade clothes looked at the girl, coughed slightly, and said to the girl:

"You are Xiao Fan's sister, right?

Just in time, I have something to inform you.

The Jade Blood Army has recruited a group of new sergeants, and I am responsible for arranging accommodation for them..."

The girl screamed: "You can make arrangements for yourself. Why are you coming to my house?"

The man in brocade clothes said seriously:

"I need to correct you. Although you and your brother have been living here, this is not your home!"

The girl's expression froze for a moment, then she shook her head and said:

"But what's the difference between doing this and letting us die?

My brother was injured because of the beast wave two years ago. If he hadn't been protecting this neighborhood...he, he..."

At this point, the girl choked up, then stared with tearful eyes and scolded: "You are so ungrateful!"

The man in brocade clothes said displeasedly:

"Little girl, don't take advantage of your young age to talk nonsense.

What is ingratitude?

What was your brother's condition at that time? If it hadn't been for the full treatment of the Blue Blood Army, he would have died at that time. How could he still be alive today?

Moreover, don’t say you don’t know how generous the pension given to him by the army was at that time!

If you are really smart, you should immediately take that spiritual stone and find a real place to stay.

But as far as I know, all his spiritual stones fell on you.

You have achieved such a level of cultivation at such a young age. What do you rely on? Don’t you know something in your mind?"

Having said this, the man in brocade snorted coldly:

“I have no plans and no long-term thinking, and now we are blaming them.

Why, are you satisfied that the Blue Blood Army will support you for the rest of your life?"

The man in brocade no longer paid attention to the girl, but looked at the young man on the bed and said:

"Your sister is young and ignorant, and I don't believe you don't understand either.

Since this is your choice, you must be responsible for the consequences!"

The young man on the bed finally spoke.

Xu Shi hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he uttered the first few words, he looked very strange.

He ignored the man in brocade clothes next to him, looked up at the sky, and said in a low and slow voice:

"Yin'er, don't worry.

In fact, my heart has been dead since two years ago, and every day I live is painful.

I'm barely holding on, just because I don't trust you.

After these two years of hard work, your cultivation is barely able to gain a foothold in the city.

I'm... relieved, that's it."

The young man spoke in a low voice as if he was explaining the funeral affairs. When the girl heard the words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

But he still stood stubbornly at the door, motionless.

The situation was at a stalemate. The impatient young man in Jinyi was about to yell, but suddenly he felt something strange. He turned around and saw two figures flying down from the sky.

One of them had a deep and calm aura, and his eyes were fixed on him, as if he could penetrate him to death.

Feeling such an aura, the young man in Jinyi couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and his heart was trembling.

Fortunately, the appearance of another person comforted him.

As if he saw a life-saving straw, he hurried forward and said: "Dad, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

The face of the person whom he called daddy was not pretty to begin with, but at this moment, his face turned black.

He snorted coldly, ignored the presence of the man in brocade clothes, and strode to the bed, "Are you Xiao Fan?"

At this moment, Xiao Fan was looking at the two people who suddenly fell from the sky with a pair of surprised eyes.

In fact, he, who had been looking at the sky, was the first to notice the arrival of the two.

Although, the moment his cultivation was completely destroyed and he became a useless person, he had lost all hope and had already thought of committing suicide.

But at this moment, when the two foundation builders came to the door, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Yes." Xiao Fan responded, but couldn't help but said: "The meridians and bones all over my body are broken. I can't get up to greet you. Please forgive me, two seniors."

Another man had also stepped forward and stared at Xiao Fan, who was as pale as paper and skinny as skin and bones, for a while and couldn't help but say:

"I heard about the beast wave two years ago. With your ninth-level Qi training, you were able to defeat two second-level low-grade monsters?"

Such great achievements, but now only Xiao Fan himself gave a bitter smile full of regret and said:

"The boy is young and ignorant, and does not know the heights of the sky and the earth, which leads to today's outcome."

Thinking of the high-spirited and holy days he once had, all he could think of now was self-deprecation.

At first, he might still harbor a hatred for people like the man in brocade.

But after two and a half years of torture on the hospital bed, he had already understood that today's outcome was the result of his "high-spirited, arrogant and fearless" self.

Now, apart from laughing at himself for his ignorance, he no longer hates anyone.

The man who asked the question stared at him for a long time, his eyes suddenly showed admiration, and he nodded:

"not bad, very good."

After saying that, he paused and then said: "Although it is a bit presumptuous to say this now, I still want to say it in advance."

Xiao Fan looked at him with confusion.

The man said: "I hope that after you come back from Mikawa Plain this time, you can officially become a member of my Black Horse Team."

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then stared at the man carefully for a moment, and said incredulously: "You...are you the captain of the Black Horse?"
