Therefore, the whole city seemed lifeless, but life continued, and the city was still orderly. However, some extreme behaviors occasionally occurred, but they were quickly suppressed by the big families in the town.
Although the news from the outside world that the continent is about to be destroyed has made people panic all day long.
But in troubled times, not everyone will have extreme ideas.
Of course, there are also some people who cherish the rights they have finally obtained.
Although the continent is constantly changing.
But the city lords of Yunkai City spent thousands of years climbing to this position.
If the continent is destroyed, then won't their efforts be wiped out?
Therefore, they want to hold on to the rights in their hands.
Since then, there has been a brief period of peace in Yunkaicheng.
…
The main palace of Yunkai City.
The people of this clan have the surname Lin.
The city lord is Lin Xing, a very dignified middle-aged man.
But on this day, the atmosphere in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion was very intense.
There were dozens of people at the conference table, all of them from large and small families in the city.
"Lord City Lord, I heard that there are riots in the troubled areas. This has not been an option for a long time."
"And now, more and more people are pouring into cities and towns to take refuge. Even if our major families generously provide rescue, this is only a temporary measure." A family leader said with an embarrassed face. The number of refugees was far beyond their imagination.
Moreover, the influx is still continuing, and temporary residences have been set up inside and outside the city, which they collectively call the disaster area.
"In this way, prevent them from entering the city, but arrange shelter and food outside the city." Lin Xing said.
"The city lord can only stabilize the situation temporarily. For a long time, our major families, including the city lord's mansion, have been eaten up by them." The situation now is no better than before. More and more people come here, and the consumption is getting bigger and bigger.
.
It won't be long before ordinary people will continue to appear here, and some casual cultivators or cultivators who have lost their homes will continue to pour in. By then, the resources in their hands will be shared unconditionally, and all families will
Very dissatisfied.
I don't know the shape of the forest.
It's just that he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands.
"Brother Lin, you and I have been close friends for many years. Alas, the situation is over now. My child's sect in Central City has confirmed that this rumor is true. Our time on the mainland is running out."
"In troubled times, it's good to try to protect yourself. You can save the people here, but you can't save the whole world."
"Listen to us, abandon the city and go to the central area first."
"My child came back with a letter and said that now the major immortal sects and sects have been in contact with the gods. If they had arrived in the area they were responsible for earlier, there might be a glimmer of hope. If you stay here, you can only wait for death!
!”
The people around me became more and more excited as they talked.
"Yes, City Lord!!"
"If we continue like this, those people outside the city may be out of control!!" the crowd persuaded.
Lin Xing's face was gloomy, and the faces of the other Lin family members were not good-looking either. It was true that these families had no good intentions when they came here.
"Can you let me think about it again?" Lin Xing was unwilling to give up the foundation he had established for many years. After all, he was from Yunkaicheng. Where could he escape?
Fallen leaves return to their roots, and they also have strong feelings in Minghun Continent.
"Okay, but the city lord will give us an answer as soon as possible."
The crowd dispersed.
"However, City Lord, our clan's resources are limited, so I'm afraid we won't be able to provide assistance for the time being. I'm sorry." One person said as he stood up.
Others also took this opportunity to express their opinions.
Wait until they leave.
The people around Lin Xing were furious: "Sir, they are simply adding insult to injury...
Lin Xing had a gloomy face and said nothing.
"Everyone, please go out and leave me alone."
Everyone retreated, except Lin Xing, who had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking.
In his place, it will be dawn the next day.
"My lord, my lord, something happened!!"
The housekeeper rushed in from outside, with a look of horror on his face.
"What's all the fuss about."
"Sir, all the families in the city, big and small, disappeared overnight...
When Lin Xing heard this, his expression was startled, but he soon regained his composure. He had already guessed the result. Those people actually came to say goodbye to him yesterday.
"Sir." The butler asked cautiously.
"knew."
"Sir, without their help, our City Lord's Mansion and the Lin Family alone would not be able to support such a huge amount of supplies. The number of refugees from the outside world has reached tens of millions!" said the housekeeper.
Lin Xing was shocked: "How is that possible!!"
"There was another earthquake three days ago. People in the southern region heard that we were hosting refugees, and they all came here. And soon, the number will exceed 50 million!" The housekeeper looked at Lin Xing worriedly.
At this time, the heads of the Lin family and the army also came here.
"Sir." The general stepped forward, looking embarrassed.
"General, what's the matter?"
"Sir, are those family members gone?"
Lin Xing nodded.
"Sir, why don't we make a decision earlier?" the general said.
Lin Xing said nothing.
"The matter has come to this, let's take it one step at a time." Lin Xing sighed, his back seemed much older.
But paper cannot contain the fire.
People in the chaos-stricken areas outside the city found that their food rations were decreasing day by day, and they were distributed later and later.
At first, people from the army were still there, but later it was the Lin family who came to see him off.
For the first three days, the crowd thought it was an increase in refugees and did not take it seriously.
But on the fifth day.
I don’t know where the news came from. The army in the city abandoned the city and left, and all the families in the city, large and small, had already left Yunkai City.
For a time, there was great chaos in the city.
…
And the troubled areas in the city.
People are also worried.
Hearing the deafening sound outside, I couldn't help but feel scared.
"Brother, what's going on outside?"
"Xiaoguang, it's okay, big brother is here."
Chen Tian consoled him.
It has been five days since Xia Chen left. If there are any results, it stands to reason that he should have returned. But there is still no news, and Chen Tian feels a little uneasy.
Although Chentian is in a disaster-stricken area.
But I also heard what happened in the city. Soon, this place will become an abandoned city, and there will be chaos.
"Brother Ye, there is no peace in the city, we can't stay here any longer," Chen Tian said.
Ye Kai heard this: "Brother, where can we go now? At least it is safe here for the time being. The people in the City Lord's Mansion should be able to deal with this situation, right?"
As an ordinary person, Ye Kai doesn't have as many worries as Chen Tian.
"Brother Ye, for your own sake and for Xiaoguang's sake, if you believe me, we will leave here after getting some dry food today." Chentian has been spending time with the two of them day and night these days, and does not want them to die here.
As long as you can hold on, there is hope of survival.
Ye Kai looked at Chen Tian for a long time.
Finally nodded.
Chentian breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hours later, it's dinner time.
But something unexpected happened. The city lord's palace asked everyone to wait for a day, and there was a shortage of supplies.
Chen Tian realized something was wrong and suggested leaving here immediately.
Although Ye Kai was a little reluctant to give up, seeing Chen Tian's expression, he still chose to believe him.
They had not gone long before the victims who had no food to eat rioted, captured the city gates, and poured into the city.
Hungry and cold, they wreaked havoc in the city. Only then did they realize that countless families and medicine shops in the city had long been empty. Desperate people poured into the city lord's mansion.
Lin Xing had no choice but to kill one or two refugees to scare everyone.
But I didn't expect that it would backfire and anger people's hearts.
In addition, some of the refugees were also cultivating, and they encountered huge resistance.
Both sides fought fiercely, and the fire spread throughout the city. For a time, all life was devastated.
The Ye family father and son couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. If it weren't for Chen Tian, I'm afraid they would also be buried in the sea of fire.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and countless people died tragically.
But Chentian and the others have already gone to another place.
Chentian was worried about Xia Chen and decided to go to Tianzhi City to check the situation.
"Brother, I heard that Tianzhi City is where gods live. Is your friend really there?" Ye Kai and the others are a little confused now.
Although they were lucky to survive, now they have no way to go. If Xiao Guang was not still young, Ye Kai would really not want to continue taking risks.
"Well, he must be here." Chen Tian nodded.
"Brother, do you think this world is really going to end?" Ye Kai was a little hesitant. For him, an ordinary person, the world was going to be destroyed. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable.
"If the world is destroyed, what do you want to do most?" Chen Tian suddenly asked.
"do what?"
"I don't know. If possible, I would like to prevent the world from being destroyed, but I can't do it." He smiled, in the most honest manner.
"Father, nothing will happen to us." Although Xiaoguang is young, he is very sensible.
Ye Kai touched his head, his face full of doting.
"Let's go, we will survive."
It's been nine days.
There is still no news about Xia Chen. He left marks along the road. With Xia Chen's strength, if he comes back, he should be found soon.
Moreover, the uneasiness from before is getting stronger and stronger.
…
The edge of the continent.
Hall of Stars.
On the stage of life and death.
"I want to see how long you kid can last!!"
The edge of the stage of life and death.
The power of divine martial arts condensed into a barrier.
Surrounded by eight giant gods, there were killing formations from all directions.
Xia Chen was covered in blood, and around the ground were the corpses of dozens of gods and hundreds of powerful human beings.
Ten days and ten nights of fierce fighting.
Both humans and gods suffered heavy losses.
But they finally forced Xia Chen into a desperate situation.
They set up a killing array and planned to torture him to death bit by bit.
"By the way, you don't know, right? The plan has already started. Wherever it still exists, humans have begun to recruit people. In less than a week, tens of billions of creatures will gather. By then, no one can stop it!!" Uncle Feng said with a full face.
Said fiercely.
He now hates Xia Chen deeply.
"You crazy beasts!!"
"Even if I die, I won't let you get what you want!!" Xia Chen roared crazily.
