When the two came to the foot of the mountain, they were blocked by several black-armored guards who questioned them.
One of them waved his right hand, and a ray of white light entered the body of a guard. The guard immediately rolled in pain in mid-air.
"What are you doing!"
"Do you know where this place is?"
The remaining guards were very nervous and immediately surrounded them, but the ones who came were unmoved.
"Tell your master, take a good look at what's inside this person..."
After saying that, the two men disappeared immediately without leaving any trace.
"Damn it!"
"At least the Great Demon God!"
"Liuzi, Liuzi, are you okay..."
"Go and report to the head of the family quickly!"
Several guards were also surprised. They didn't know where these two people came from, let alone what they might have left behind in this guard's body.
Soon after, the head of the Xiahou family came to the foot of the mountain with his people.
The head of the Xiahou family pressed the guard's belly, and a white light was sucked out by him, and a piece of spiritual jade appeared on his palm.
"Bang……"
Lingyu exploded when he saw the air, condensing into a ball of light in front of several people.
"You guys step back..."
The head of the Xiahou family looked solemn and asked several guards to retreat. Then he and the two elders released the branding shadow in the light ball.
"Holy City Order No. 855, the Xiahou family is classified as a second-level force. It can mine up to ten spiritual veins, ten mineral veins, and five hundred various industries. It can operate ten small auctions, and the size cannot exceed a thousand people...
…”
"The maximum number of private soldiers you can have is 10,000. Now it is found that this has seriously exceeded the limit, and the rectification will be completed within one month..."
The branding shadow exploded in front of the three of them, and one of the elders immediately said with a dark face: "It's too much to bully others! This person named Ye is really crazy!"
"Is this bullying our Xiahou family?"
Another elder was also very angry. He only announced the new rules yesterday and sent someone to deliver the letter today.
And still in this way, it is indeed too arrogant.
The head of the Xiahou family also looked livid. The elder on the side asked, "Master, we must fight back in this matter. Otherwise, we really think that our Xiahou family is easy to bully..."
"alright……"
Although the head of the Xiahou family was angry, he still suppressed the anger in his heart: "We had anticipated these things before, why are we so angry now..."
"But they are going too far to deceive people by sending letters like this." The great elder was furious.
The head of the Xiahou family sighed: "It doesn't matter how the letter is delivered. Do they have to go to our ancestral land and deliver the letter in front of everyone?"
"Anyway, it's so annoying..."
The head of the Xiahou family said calmly: "Now that the six major families have reached an alliance with the family named Ye, we must hide our capabilities and bide our time and wait for changes."
"But do you really do what they ask for?"
The elder was very confused: "One month is too short. The properties in our hands include not only hundreds of properties, but now tens of thousands of properties. This will cut off all our financial resources. The clan's
How do people live..."
"snort!"
The head of the Xiahou family snorted: "Special treatment during special times. Keep me tight on food and clothing. Don't waste anything on me. Keep a close eye on spiritual stones. Don't give me extravagance."
"Let's go back, these things always have to be arranged."
The head of the Xiahou family is much calmer than the head of the Wang family. He seems to have expected this move from the City Lord's Mansion and others.
Since the city lord's palace wants to attack various forces, of course it is best to attack the Xiahou family and the Wang family. This is not called killing chickens to show the monkeys, but killing wolves to show the birds...
The three of them went back immediately, as they had expected these things.
…
At the same time, it was in the north of Nanfeng Holy City.
Outside a group of white palaces, there were a large number of black-armored guards, as many as one million people.
There are a large number of immortal cultivators watching around.
"So many people from the black-armored defenders of the City Lord's Mansion came..."
"This is about wiping out the Qingshui Gang..."
"The guys from the Qingshui Gang have always been arrogant, but this time they hit the wall..."
"Judging from the newly issued city regulations yesterday, they must have seriously violated the regulations..."
"That's right, their properties are spread all over Nanfeng Holy City. There are not just a few hundred companies, but tens of thousands of companies. They are more than the eight major families..."
"As expected, the City Lord's Mansion took action on them first. The business these guys run has always been very shady. It would be great if we wiped them out and restore peace to the Holy City of Nanfeng..."
The immortal cultivators who were watching had nothing positive to say about the Qingshui Gang, which was also a relatively famous force in the city.
The overall strength may not be as good as that of the eight major families, but they have a lot of territory. They are stationed in every corner of Nanfeng Holy City and in many outer cities.
Unlike the eight major families, their camps are not outside the city, and they are not a separate group. There are hundreds of camps alone.
Moreover, the Qingshui Gang has more members than the Eight Great Families. It is said that the number of members has reached four to five million, which is much more than any of the Eight Great Families.
Seeing that the largest station of the Qingshui Gang was surrounded, no immortal cultivators rushed out. After a while, a black vortex flashed in the distant sky.
Several people walked down from the whirlpool. These people were all wearing silver armor and silver masks.
All of them had good cultivation, and arrived outside the Qingshui Gang station, standing in front of millions of black-armored guards.
One of the silver-armored mask masters raised his hand and took out a scroll, opening it in front of the Qingshui Gang station.
The silver-armored master said loudly: "After investigation, the Qingshui Gang seriously violated city regulations and committed the following ten crimes!"
"1. Participating in the trafficking of women and children!"
"Two, kill innocent civilians and destroy tens of millions of families!"
"Three, private casinos, death pits, and animal fighting arenas!"
"Fourth, set up a private auction, draw a large commission, and publicly auction the immortal cultivators at the auction!"
"five……"
"..."
"The above ten crimes are all substantiated by witnesses and material evidence. Now, in accordance with the city's regulations, this city lord will arrest all the Qingshui Gang members and bring them to justice. If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
The silver-armored master listed the top ten crimes of the Qingshui Gang in one breath. After hearing this, the immortal cultivators around him were extremely angry. It turned out that the beasts of the Qingshui Gang had done so many bad things.
"Count down to the tens, and anyone who doesn't come out will be regarded as a rebel and will be killed..."
After the silver-armored master finished speaking, the millions of black-armored troops surrounding him immediately began to count.
"one!"
There were millions of people, and they were all trained immortal sergeants, and the sound they shouted together was really loud.
The vibration was so loud that the entire Nanfeng Holy City could almost hear it. In addition, some special small magic circles were added to make the sound spread faster.
"two……"
"three……"
The sound was heard one after another, causing the heads of the people around to buzz. Many people could only cover their ears and did not dare to listen anymore.
Many people around him began to retreat, not daring to stand too close for fear that a fight would break out later and they would be accidentally killed.
"six……"
When the count reached six, a group of black shadows finally escaped from the magic circle inside.
The number of people is about seven to eight thousand.
"We surrender, we surrender, we are just forced..."
These people immediately ran out with their hands raised, and the black-armored guards over there immediately went over and took these people into custody.
Seven to eight thousand people, just a drizzle, were quickly dealt with.
There are people counting over there.
"eight……"
"Nine……"
Before the last shout was heard, another large group of figures escaped, this time with more people.
There were about 70,000 to 80,000 people who ran out one after another and were quickly taken into custody by the black-armored guards over there.
"ten!"
After the silver-armored master counted ten, he waved his hand, and millions of black-armored troops immediately surrounded the station and completely surrounded it.
However, they were not too close to the station. They were deliberately separated by a distance of more than ten miles.
"Okay, the ten count has been reached, and there are still people in the station who have not come out. They are all regarded as rebellions, and now they will be executed on behalf of the city lord..."
The master of silver armor waved his hand, and each of the millions of black armor soldiers took out a black stick in their hands.
"Hiss, hiss..."
The black stick seemed to be made of lightning. Lightning bolts wrapped around the black stick, and countless black sparks suddenly collided.
"What is this..."
"Is it a magic weapon?"
"I've never seen the Black Armored Army use something like this before..."
"Millions of people, this is going to cause a catastrophe..."
The onlookers who were cultivating immortals were all frightened. They had never seen the black-armored sergeant use such a thing, but it looked like it should be a magic weapon or a spiritual weapon.
"Let's come out..."
“We come out 6”
"We have to come out too..."
At this moment, there were immortal cultivators shouting inside, saying that they also wanted to come out, but now the place has been sealed.
There were tens of thousands of people shouting at the edge of the camp, trying to rush out and beg for mercy.
"It's too late..."
The silver armor master was too lazy to pay attention to them and raised his hand directly. All the millions of black armor soldiers immediately raised their arms, and the black sticks in their hands suddenly became more arrogant.
The sky above the station was lit up by black lightning, and a huge black hole opened in the middle.
"put!"
The silver-armored master shouted loudly, and the black hole above his head instantly expanded, covering the entire Qingshui Gang station. The black stick in the hands of each black-armored sergeant released a dazzling bolt of lightning.
The lightning condensed in the hole above, converging into a giant lightning bolt, as big as the entire Qingshui Gang's station.
"boom……"
A ray of white light almost blinded the eyes of everyone around. Everyone could only hear a muffled sound, and then almost everyone had tinnitus and could no longer hear the sound.
After a long while, someone slowly came over and immediately looked over there.
"Oh my god..."
"What's going on..."
"The Qingshui Gang is no longer stationed..."
"Only a piece of nothingness was left, and even the earth was blown up..."
"Not too big, not too small, just enough to blow up the entire Qingshui Gang station..."
"This, this, is too, too scary..."
"The black-armored troops are all gone..."
When people reacted, the Qingshui Gang station no longer existed, leaving only a bottomless black pit.
Not only that, the magic circle outside the station is still there, but the station just disappeared out of thin air. It can be imagined that it was destroyed by the giant lightning just now, and even the earth was penetrated.
"The people inside..."
"All dead..."
"Destroyed into ashes..."
"What kind of magic weapon is that..."
"It's so scary..."
The cultivators slowly came to their senses, and many people came over to see that some strong men could break through the magic circle outside the station and enter inside.
At this time, over the deep pit inside, a dozen strong men had already arrived to check the situation.
"This is……"
The pit could not be seen to the bottom at a glance, and one did not know how deep it had been blown. One of them said in a deep voice: "That lightning is indeed terrifying, no less than an immortal weapon..."
"Use the immortal soldiers to kill the Qingshui Gang. This is so powerful..."
"The City Lord's Mansion is really going to play big this time. It's going to be serious. It's killing a chicken to show the monkeys, and it also killed a big, fat chicken..."
…
Overnight, millions of members of the Qingshui Gang were all wiped out by the city lord's palace, with only a handful of people escaping.
The news quickly spread throughout the entire Nanfeng Holy City. Late at night, in the meeting hall of the Ouyang family's ancestral home.
The six heads of the Ouyang family gathered together urgently again, and straight to the point they mentioned what had just happened with the Qingshui Gang.
"According to reliable information, more than a hundred large and small camps of the Qingshui Gang were wiped out within an hour..."
Ouyang Laosi, who was in charge of intelligence information, said solemnly: "Together with the leader of the Qingshui Gang and a group of elders, they were all killed. I just don't know what the black sticks used by the black-armored army are..."
"It seems to be a sky thunder, but it is even more terrifying than the sky thunder. Moreover, the overall strength of the black armored army selected by the city lord's palace this time is very strong. It seems that I have never seen such a powerful black armored army before."
Ouyang Laosi also didn't know the origin of those black-armored troops.
"Haven't seen it before?"
Ouyang Zhen, the head of the Ouyang family, raised his eyebrows and said, "It should be the private soldiers brought by Ye Chu himself..."
"It's very possible..."
Ouyang Laosi nodded and said: "At least there was no such strong black armored army before, and these sergeants are well-trained and cooperate flawlessly. I went to check those places of destruction. It is indeed terrifying."
"The Lord of Ye City is quite courageous. He defeated the Qingshui Gang within an hour..."
Ouyang Dang sighed: "Fortunately we stand with him, otherwise..."
"Lao Si, do we have any dealings with the Qingshui Gang?" Ouyang Zhen asked Ouyang Lao Si.
Ouyang Laosi thought for a while and said: "There must be some contacts. The Qingshui Gang family has a big business. These guys should have contacts with the eight major families. We have done some business with them before, but the contact is not too big."
many."
"Have we done business with them?" Ouyang Zhen raised his eyebrows, "What kind of business have we done?"
Ouyang Laosi thought for a while and said: "The dozens of mineral veins managed by our family in the past few years have been transferred to them for management..."
"Ore vein?"
Ouyang Zhen raised his eyebrows. This is not a small business. Ouyang Laosi said: "It has been mined for a few years and the output is not particularly high, so I handed it over to them..."
"I was still in charge at that time..."
Ouyang Yu said: "This Qingshui Gang does all kinds of business, and has a large number of people, so I transferred it to them just to give them face..."
"Well, since the city lord's palace hasn't sent any news, it must be okay..."
Ouyang Zhen nodded, and then Ouyang Yu said: "According to reliable information, the Wang family and the Xiahou family seem to have received information from the city lord's palace. Give them a month to rectify..."
"This Ye Chu is really having fun..."
Ouyang Dang chuckled and said: "Let's see what the Wang family and Xiahou family will do now. If they lose those industries, spiritual veins and mineral veins, and private soldiers are not allowed to be raised, they will go crazy..."
"They did this all by themselves, no wonder others..." Ouyang Laosi said.
Several people laughed and were glad for their family leader's choice. Otherwise, they would be the ones facing such a predicament now.
Ye Chu is powerful and resolute, acting very quickly, not giving others a chance to breathe, and pressing forward step by step.
Qianqiu had just finished the meeting at Mencius Tower, and he immediately summoned eight aristocratic families for a meeting after the announcement. It didn't matter to him if some of them disagreed.
A notice was issued the next day, and spies were sent to the two families who disagreed. In the blink of an eye, a notorious middle-level force in the city was uprooted at night.
In just one hour, the Qingshui Gang was wiped out, and the City Lord's Palace was completely victorious without even a single casualty.
This is not just a matter of combat power, but also involves many aspects. First of all, where did so many black-armored troops come from? There are millions of black-armored troops, and they are so skillfully matched.
There was also the plan to gather all the millions of people from the Qingshui Gang there and seal them secretly, allowing only a few to escape. The coordination of this operation and the gathering of intelligence were simply outrageous.
…
In the Ye family residence, Ye Chu was soaking alone in the hot spring late at night.
He had long since stopped caring about outside matters and left them to Bailangma and Ye Feng to deal with them.
He might only take action if something is difficult.
Xixi came out of the back room and saw Ye Chu still soaking. She didn't know how long it had been soaking, so she asked him: "Brother, why are you still soaking? The skin is almost broken..."
"Get up quickly and go to the house to rest..."
Ye Chu didn't feel very tired at all. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's getting dark..."
"Yeah, it's past midnight..."
Xixi said: "Senior brother, didn't you just fall asleep in there?"
"Correct answer..."
Ye Chu smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for Xixi to come and hang out for a while.
Xixi was no longer shy this time, and for the rare occasion she lay down next to Ye Chu. Ye Chu suddenly asked her: "Xixi, have you seen the old madman at Wuxin Peak?"
"Master?"
Xixi was stunned and asked, "Why did you think of asking this?"
After reuniting with Ye Chu, Ye Chu has not asked about the old madman, and he has not asked about the status of his senior brothers.
"It's nothing, I just miss those guys."
Ye Chu sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for who knows how long..."
"It must be at least more than two thousand years ago."
Xixi was also a little surprised. Ye Chu hadn't seen their senior brothers for so long. Xixi was also a little helpless: "The world is too big. Once we are separated, it will be really difficult to see each other again..."
"Yes, maybe we will never see them again in this life."
Ye Chu sighed: "Actually, sometimes, immortal cultivators are also very helpless..."
"yes……"
Ye Chu sighed in his heart, Immortal cultivators are extremely powerful and have wonderful lives, but they are not as good as the earth.
If two relatives are on earth, they can almost meet again as long as they are on earth. After all, the earth is only so big.
At least Ye Chu is still lucky now that he is pretty good because of his strength. At least these years, he and his family and friends are still together and not separated.
Of course, this does not include Bai Xuan and the others, who have not seen each other after so many years.
"That's how immortal cultivators are, the older they get, the lonelier they become..."
Xixi sighed: "Master, I only met once a long time ago. Several senior brothers were also on the peak at that time, but they left soon. I don't live in Wuxin Peak either..."
"Are they all here?" Ye Chu was a little surprised.
Xixi nodded and said: "Master and the others are very good. The three senior brothers were also in good spirits at that time. The second senior brother has a family and children. His wife is also very good to him, and the children are also very obedient..."
"Haha, I didn't expect that among the three of them, Fatty Jin was the first to have a child..."
Ye Chu also smiled: "Neither Sui Gu nor Ou Yi have wives?"
"There should be no..."
Xixi shook her head and then thought about it: "By the way, there was another person beside Master at that time..."
"There is another person? Could it be that the old madman has found a wife?" Ye Chu felt a little strange.
Xixi was a little embarrassed: "That's not true, he is a middle-aged man, he should be a good friend of the master..."
"That's really rare..."
Ye Chu said: "It seems that this old madman is not crazy now, and will become a normal person in the future..."
"Well, Master was still very sober at that time and didn't see any weird behavior..."
Xixi said: "And that middle-aged man, I think, is extremely powerful. He is not an ordinary person..."
"That's for sure, the old madman is immortal..."
Ye Chu said: "The person who can follow him must not be a mortal. When you came to Nanfeng Holy City to find me, who gave you the news?"
"It's Third Senior Brother..."
Xixi said: "At that time, he was the only one at Wuxin Peak. He told me about your current situation, but it seems that the master also told him..."
"Does the old madman know I'm here?"
Ye Chu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Logically speaking, he might have been in retreat in the Dragon Vein Area at that time.
How did the old madman know that he was in the Holy City of the South Wind? Did that guy send someone to monitor him? Or did he have a magical object like a floating mirror that could lock his location?
"When was that?" Ye Chu asked the time again.
Xixi told him a time, and Ye Chu calculated that he was indeed still in the underground world at that time.
So when Xixi arrived at Nanfeng Holy City, she still didn’t know where she was. Even Hongliu didn’t come to look for her. Moreover, according to Fatty Jin, the Shadow Burning Stone should have been handed over to the old madman hundreds of years ago.
his.
At that time, Ye Chu was also in the area of Nanfeng Holy City, but sometimes he might go out to make a living, but the old madman still knew his location.
"Could it be..."
A bad guess flashed through Ye Chu's mind.
He thought of the inexplicable seed in his Yuanling. He didn't know which strong man planted it. Could it be that the old madman couldn't do it?
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Xixi asked seeing Ye Chu looking a little strange.
Ye Chu said: "It's nothing, maybe a little sentimental, after all, we haven't seen each other for so many years..."
"Don't worry, didn't we say that all the realms will be connected into one realm? We will naturally meet again then." Xixi didn't know what was going on in Ye Chu's mind.
Ye Chu nodded and said in a deep voice: "The fifth brother and sister of Wuxin Peak, we will meet again sooner or later..."
But he didn't say the second half of the sentence. He didn't know whether it would be good or bad when they get together again.
Ye Chu was a little tired and returned to the house. Xixi also went to rest. Elena'er in Yuanling also woke up and seemed to have guessed what Ye Chu was thinking.
"Are you suspicious that your master planted that seed?" she guessed.
Ye Chu didn't hide it from her: "I have indeed thought so. This old madman can do anything, so there is nothing surprising about it, and it seems that he can grasp my movements..."
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you say that he is immortal and no one knows his strength? Maybe he knows the art of divination and calculation, and maybe he can know your location..." Elena can't see clearly now.
.
It stands to reason that the immortal cultivators in this world are far from being able to compete with the immortal cultivators of their generation back then. However, the current environment far exceeds that of ancient times.
