The streets were deserted and the silence was eerie, as if all life had disappeared and there was only an empty city.
The surrounding buildings seemed to be filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and the windows were closed, as if they were hiding something.
There is a strange atmosphere in the air, making people feel uneasy.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground, but there was no sound. The entire city seemed to be enveloped in silence.
This weird atmosphere makes people feel very permeable, as if there is some unknown danger lurking in the dark.
"Da da da……"
The sound of horse hoofbeats became particularly clear at this moment, like a reminder.
"It's strange, in such a big city, why can't I see even a single person?" Niu Dali asked.
Master Changmei said: "It seems I was right, this place is unknown."
Ye Qiu didn't speak. He kept looking around and found that he couldn't even see a flying bird. It was too weird.
"Miss, something is wrong!" Uncle Zhu said with a heavy face.
The woman opened the curtain and took a look and said: "When I passed by Feilai City, the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the streets were very lively with people coming and going. Why has it turned into this scene now?"
"It seems something really happened in Feilai City."
"Uncle Zhu, let's go directly to the city lord's mansion."
"Yes!" Uncle Zhu responded, driving the carriage forward along the main road.
A few minutes later.
The carriage stopped at the door of the city lord's mansion.
Surprisingly, there was not a single guard visible outside the huge city lord's mansion.
This situation is very abnormal.
The door to the city lord's mansion was closed. The woman glanced at her, and Uncle Zhu immediately ordered the guards to knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
The guard knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Open the door!"
It's been a while.
There was only a crack in the door, and a little old man stuck his head out from the crack. He looked at the guard and asked warily: "Who are you?"
The guard took out his waist badge.
"Custodes!"
The little old man was startled. He quickly opened half of the door and walked out. He bowed to the guards and said, "I don't know that the Lord Imperial Guard is coming. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar, but I still hope to atone for my sins."
"Okay, don't be polite to me." The guard said: "Go and tell the city lord that an adult is coming in person and ask him to come out to greet you. Go quickly."
The little old man stayed where he was and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This..."
"What's wrong? The city lord is not in the mansion?" the guard asked.
The little old man nodded.
The guard frowned and asked again: "Where is the city lord?"
"Lord City Lord, he..." The little old man hesitated and did not dare to say.
"Speak quickly." The guard shouted impatiently.
The little old man then said bravely: "The city lord... is dead!"
"What?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where are the city lord's family members?"
The little old man replied: "He's dead too."
"Who else is alive in this mansion?" the guard asked.
The little old man said: "That's all that's left."
Guard: "..."
The guard turned around and ran to Uncle Zhu, reporting the situation in a low voice. Uncle Zhu was also full of surprise, walked up to the little old man, took out a gold token and shook it.
When the little old man saw this, his eyes were horrified. He quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Greetings, sir."
"Get up!" Uncle Zhu asked, "What happened in Feilai City?"
"Sir, why don't you go in and talk?" the little old man said, "It's not safe outside."
"Okay, open the door." As soon as Uncle Zhu finished speaking, the woman got off the carriage and walked over with Ye Qiu and others.
At this time, the little old man opened the door.
Everyone looked at the city lord's mansion and saw a number of dark coffins parked in the courtyard, at least hundreds of them.
Everyone changed their colors one after another.
"How come so many people died?"
Uncle Zhu took a breath of air.
"My lords, please come in quickly, it's not safe outside," the little old man said urgently.
Everyone walked into the courtyard.
The little old man quickly closed the door.
"Old man, what should I call you?" the woman asked softly.
The little old man replied: "My name is Yao Guangshun."
"Who are you from the City Lord's Mansion?" the woman asked again.
The little old man said: "Butler."
"Then let me call you Butler Yao!" The woman pointed at the coffin and asked, "Butler Yao, do you know who is in the coffin?"
Butler Yao said sadly: "They are the family members of the city lord and some guards of the city lord's palace."
The woman then asked: "How did they die?"
Mentioning this matter, Butler Yao's face showed panic, and his lips trembled as he said, "They were killed by the blood demon."
"Blood demon?" The woman looked confused: "What blood demon?"
Butler Yao said: "Young lady, you don't know something. Half a month ago, a blood demon suddenly appeared in our Feilai city."
"He caused chaos in the city, eating babies when he saw them, biting the necks of people he saw and sucking blood. He killed thousands of people. Everyone in the city was in danger and dared not go out."
"After the city lord learned of the situation, he led the guards to hunt down the blood demon. However, the blood demon was too powerful. Not only did the city lord fail to catch him, but many guards died."
"Later, the city lord investigated and learned that the blood demon was hiding in Dongshan."
"So, the city lord ordered to close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or exit. He also gathered people and set up a dragnet on Dongshan, hoping to catch the blood demon in one fell swoop. However, the blood demon was too cunning, and not only rushed out of the siege but
, many more people were killed, the city lord was also injured, and the losses were heavy."
"Unexpectedly, at midnight the night before yesterday, the blood demon suddenly entered the city lord's mansion. All 121 people in the mansion died except me."
When Butler Yao said this, his body was trembling, obviously he was frightened by the blood demon.
"The blood demon was so cruel that he didn't even spare the city lord's newborn son and ate him bite by bite right in front of the city lord."
"And the madam was also torn into pieces by the blood demon."
"The city lord fought with the blood demon and was beaten to pieces."
thump!
When Butler Yao said this, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, please kill the blood demon and avenge the city lord."
The woman stepped forward and helped the little old man up, and said: "Butler Yao, get up quickly. Since this matter has happened to us, we will not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Thank you, girl." Butler Yao said gratefully while wiping his tears.
"However, we don't know much about the blood demon yet, and there are some things we need to ask you." The woman asked, "Do you know the origin of the blood demon?"
Butler Yao shook his head and said: "My cultivation level is low and I am just a steward. I don't know the origin of the blood demon."
"However, the city lord speculates that the blood demon is most likely from the demon clan, because if it were a human, it would never be so cruel."
When Niu Dali heard this, he became angry on the spot.
