All the four continents of the Chinese continent fell.
Chaos not only defeated all the strong men here, but also subdued many monsters who wanted to follow him.
Now all the cities are surrendered to it.
Chaos even made a rule that everyone must hand over resources to it every month. The oppression has reached a limit.
Everyone hates it, but everyone also fears it.
There are more and more rumors about Chaos, and oppression and resistance continue.
In the Ten Thousand Demons Tribe, Xu Zimo is standing next to Chaos.
"Lord, I have done everything you asked me to do," Huan Chaos said.
"Well done, then I'll finish it off," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
…………
China mainland, northern border.
Yanshi City in the north is a very famous city.
Because it is rich in fire and a special kind of rock, it has developed rapidly and is considered an important economic link in the north.
It connects with thirty-four cities.
Located in its center.
However, since the emergence of Chaos, there was a great battle and both the north and east gates of the city were lost.
Yanshi City was directly defeated and finally surrendered.
The entire city also began to be rebuilt.
Under the influence of fire and special rocks, the climate here is very dry.
From time to time, yellow sand falls to the ground all over the sky.
The earth is cracked with countless cracks.
On this day, yellow sand flew over the ground. In the gray weather, a person walked from a distance.
Xu Zimo wore a bamboo hat and a blue robe.
On the back of the robe were written the three characters "Gatekeeper".
Xu Zimo walked towards Yanshi City step by step. Every step he took would leave a deep footprint on the ground.
When we arrived at the north gate of the city, because the city wall had been completely destroyed, it actually didn't matter whether the gate was entered or not.
At this moment, dozens of people are rebuilding the city.
He found a leader and asked softly: "This fellow Taoist, don't you know how to get to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"What are you doing with the city lord?" the leading man asked in confusion.
"Come for the monsters," Xu Zimo replied.
"What kind of monster?" the leading man asked warily.
"The monster was born like chaos, with a huge figure and a violent temperament," Xu Zimo replied.
"You...you're talking about that monster," the leading man stuttered back.
"Oh, have you seen it?" Xu Zimo asked doubtfully.
"It captured our Yanshi City some time ago," the leading man said excitedly, pointing to the devastation all around.
"These are all caused by it. Do you know that monster?"
"I'm ashamed to say that," Xu Zimo shook his head.
He replied: "We'd better discuss this matter after seeing your city lord."
The leading man didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "I am the general of the city lord's palace. I can take you to see the city lord."
"Then you'll have to work hard," Xu Zimo nodded and replied.
Passing through Yanshi City, Xu Zimo could clearly see that this prosperous city was now coming to an end.
Almost all the shops on the street are closed.
Residents in the city were hiding in their homes, and the streets were deserted.
There is only a sense of devastation left by the war.
Autumn and this city seem to be integrated into one.

In the city lord's palace, Qin Haoshi sat at the top.
Next to him was an old man wrapped in a gray robe, huddled in the corner.
Downstairs, there are people with lofty ideals from various places in the city lord's mansion, all sitting together.
"City Lord, that monster wants 100,000 rocks and flames this month. Where can we collect them?" someone below said in frustration.
"If this continues, our Rock City will be destroyed sooner or later."
"What if we don't hand over the money? Everyone will probably die," someone nearby retorted.
"If it doesn't work, let's get out of here."
"Where to go? I heard that the entire continent is ruled by that monster, and there is oppression wherever I go."
"Then you can't just sit back and wait for death."
"Okay, stop arguing. What are the city lord's plans?"
Everyone gave up and looked at Qin Haoshi who was standing above them.
Qin Haoshi's frown never relaxed from the beginning to the end.
He sighed, looked at the man in gray robe next to him, and asked, "Mr. Wen, what do you think?"
This so-called Mr. Wen is not an ordinary person, he has a very powerful background.
The strongest person in the world, one of the Six Taoists.
It is as famous as Yin Ruozhuo of Shushan.
"There is no good way. Either fight to the death or surrender," Mr. Wen said calmly.
His eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to penetrate through layers of void and see clearly what everyone was thinking.
"Is this the only way?" Qin Haoshi closed his eyes slightly and thought deeply.
At this moment, the leader came in from outside with Xu Zimo.
"City Lord, someone wants to see you," the leading man's voice came.
"I told you not to disturb me. Don't you want to see us discussing things?" Qin Haoshi replied with some displeasure.
"City Lord, it's about the monster," the leading man explained quickly.
"What happened to the monster?" Qin Haoshi asked.
"Go ahead," the leading man glanced at Xu Zimo and replied.
Xu Zimo smiled, first performed a ritual, and then said in a leisurely manner: "I am the gatekeeper of the ancient mountain, and I am here for that monster."
"Gushan, gatekeeper?" Qin Haoshi frowned and said, "I've never heard of it."
"I have lived in seclusion deep in the Western Mountains all my life. There is no one living there. It's normal that you haven't heard of it," Xu Zimo explained.
"What's the matter with you?" Qin Haoshi asked.
"When this world was opened, it was turbulent. The ancestors of my ancient lineage appeared out of nowhere, pacified the monsters from all sides, and suppressed them in the ancient mountains.
And we have guarded the Ancient Mountain for generations," Xu Zimo explained.
"Not long ago, I discovered that the seal of the ancient mountain was destroyed, and a peerless ferocious beast ran out.
So I came down the mountain to look for it."
"Why have I never heard of this ancient lineage and why is it not recorded in the annals of history?" Mr. Wen next to him asked.
"At that time, the ancestor destroyed all the records about that period of history and wanted to let the ancient mountain be buried together with it," Xu Zimo replied.
"It's just that no one expected that the seal would be destroyed and eventually see the light of day again."
"What about your ancestor? He must have a way to subdue that monster!" Someone next to him asked excitedly.
"The ancestor passed away long ago, and now I am the gatekeeper of Shanggu Mountain," Xu Zimo replied.
"There is indeed a way to destroy that monster."
"What can I do?" Qin Haoshi stood up from his seat and asked.
"In order to kill monsters, our ancestors once forged a sword called Ba Ying," Xu Zimo said slowly.
"Whoever gets the magic sword can naturally kill that monster."
"The magic sword," Mr. Wen muttered to himself, and then asked, "Where is the magic sword now?"
