Liu Ruxi, who was far away, glanced weakly at Cai'er on Zhang Baoer's right, but hesitated to speak.
Zhang Baoer noticed her gaze and said angrily:
"Master Liu Pavilion, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. There are no outsiders here!"
Liu Ruxi nodded and said:
"Let me tell you...could he not be in Sunset City?!"
"Um?!"
Hearing this, everyone except Cai'er was stunned and looked at her with puzzled faces.
Liu Ruxi turned to stare at the fire and said:
"If there is really a need to die... there is no need for him to stay in Chaos City, because there are wars and deaths everywhere now..."
"rational!"
Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up, and after a few words of praise, he muttered:
"Whether you are there or not, let's wait for the results first..."
Liu Ruxi and Ziyu both nodded.
Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was dusk, and the firelight there had faded.
Suddenly, Liu Ruxi's people returned from Sunset City, looked for them anxiously, and then sent a message to Liu Ruxi to report.
Everyone looked at it and saw Liu Ruxi's face was startled. After the man retreated, Liu Ruxi said to Zhang Baoer in a dark and solemn voice:
"The main house collapsed, revealing a secret passage leading underground, with black gas emerging from it..."
Having said this, he took a deep breath and then continued:
"One man was forced to go down to investigate. He came back alive and told everyone: 'There are no living people. There is a huge pit below. There are endless bones and dead bodies in the pit. There seems to be an empty platform in the middle, and black energy gathers there.
...'Speaking of this, he died without ever closing his eyes in peace!"
hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and Zhang Baoer exclaimed:
"It should be the kind of evil spirit... I didn't expect it could be made from dead corpses... That empty platform is probably a formation, but..."
At this point, he frowned and said:
"Didn't you say that the Yuanying monk who was crazy about gains and losses was swept away by an unknown black cloud? Since no one is here, what was it that kidnapped that person?! I remember that he was kidnapped outside, right?! That's not the case.
Inside!”
Liu Ruxi nodded, rolled his eyes a few times, turned around and said to a big man behind him:
"Send more people, I want to know the details!"
"yes!"
The man left immediately after hearing the sound. At this moment, another man came up to report to Ziyu.
After hearing the report, seeing everyone looking at her, Ziyu smiled bitterly, looked at Liu Ruxi with complicated eyes and said:
"Same as your news...my people are a little slow!"
Hearing this, everyone understood. It turns out that the wry smile on his face meant that his people were not as efficient as Liu Ruxi's people?
When the sun just touched the top of the mountain, countless people poured out of Sunset City. The one who came out earlier than them was Liu Ruxi's spy. He reported:
"Everyone opened up the big pit, and the black air spread, killing more than a dozen people and injuring more than a hundred people... It was certain that there was a formation there, and someone ordered the big pit to be filled in... After the news spread
, people are panicking, people have left Sunset City one after another, and a large number of people are coming here."
After listening, Zhang Baoer's expression changed drastically and he immediately shouted to Lan Chen:
"Send people to guard Tianyin City and refuse anyone entry. Any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing this, everyone had strange looks on their faces and looked at him with puzzled looks.
Lan Chen said weakly:
"I hope the sect master will think twice... I'm afraid people will hate you if you do this. Besides, isn't it what we asked for them to come on their own initiative?"
"Hey!"
Zhang Baoer clenched his fist tightly and explained:
"Do you know what to do... This is not someone giving you a pillow for sleeping! If they enter the city, it will make the devil think that we are the one who started all this... Although it is indeed us who started this, we can't let him know.
Ah! Who knows how capable he is!"
Everyone suddenly realized that if that person knew about it, he would definitely find a way to cause trouble here in the future.
Haiping thought for a while and nodded:
"Do as you say! Whoever dares to do it forcefully, I don't mind going out and showing off my hands to scare the youngster!"
"yes!"
Lan Chen responded confidently and immediately resigned.
Unexpectedly, after he left, Zhang Baoer said to Haiping:
"Senior, it's better not to take action if you can. Just give Lan Chen a fearless heart..."
Seeing that Liu Ruxi didn't say anything and only frowned deeply, Zhang Baoer immediately knew what she was thinking: If people are not allowed to enter the city, how will they do business in the future?
So, he turned to her and smiled bitterly:
"Master Liu Pavilion, don't worry! When those big forces unite to persecute me, I will let people in..."
Having said this, he sighed and continued:
"I hope those people will not give up and find another gathering place..."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were not good-looking. If those people were afraid of Tianyin Sect and Feng Lin Pavilion and did not dare to come and cause trouble, or if they were not strong enough, they would have shot themselves in the foot!
But... there is nothing that can be done about it. The purpose of spreading rumors secretly was to avoid being known by others and arouse the hostility of the corpse collectors. Although Tianyin City was already under construction at that time, it was already a very suspicious object.
Without evidence, it can be said to be a despicable trick of the enemy.
Now, that is not the case. If someone is allowed to enter without any obstruction, then the other party does not need to care about any evidence - since you are the beneficiary, it is you!
"Eh..."
Zhang Baoer sighed again and said dejectedly:
"Let's go! Let's eat!"
…………
Thirty to forty thousand people crowded outside Tianyin City, confronting Lan Chen and nearly a thousand people from Tianyin Sect.
After hearing that Tianyin City could not be entered, everyone first tried to reason with each other, but to no avail, they expressed their willingness to pay. After they were still rejected, someone finally couldn't help but burst out:
"Why don't you let us in?!"
"Yes! Why?!"
"You, Tianyin Sect, are too bullying, right? Everyone is judging!"
"Ahem... Even though this is your city, this is not your territory!"
This is not even the most egregious thing. The most egregious thing is:
"Why don't you pay the entrance fee? Let's all rush forward! Let's see if Tianyinmen dares to stop him... Dad!"
Before he finished speaking, a late-stage Jindan disciple was instructed by Lan Chen to stab him with a sword!
That person was just an early stage cultivation of Jindan. Because he was the son of the leader of a medium-sized force, he had been pampered since he was a child and was used to being high-profile. He was pushed by someone from the Tianyin Sect just now and he held a grudge. Now he saw
The timing was good, so I wanted to encourage everyone to vent their anger. Who knew that people from the Tianyin Sect would be so bold, and would use their swords at the slightest disagreement?
"Show mercy!"
Seeing that his son was in danger, his father, who had a mid-level Nascent Soul cultivation level, rushed over to block the sword.
Who would have thought... at this moment, his eyes flashed, and he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly blocking his way. Without waiting for him to say anything, a ray of blue light struck towards him.
The person who came was none other than Zhuo Leng. Seeing the man hastily draw his sword to resist, she snorted coldly, her eyes full of contempt.
laugh!
The man was startled. Before he had time to think about what this man's eyes meant, he saw a flash of sparks, his hand was heavy and then light, and his face changed drastically!
The blue light turned out to be a blue long sword. It had already cut the long sword into two pieces and was slashing towards the man's head without losing force!
"Ah, forgive me..."
Whoosh!
The look of begging for mercy stopped suddenly, and in a flash of blood, this man and his Nascent Soul were cut in half with a sword!
His last gaze was cast on his useless son. It was at that time that his son was decapitated by the disciple's sword...
No one knows what his last thoughts were, because he died too quickly, the light was dark, and there were many people evacuating from the commotion nearby, so the people paying attention here could not see his eyes clearly.
Whoosh!
Zhuo Leng swung her sword into its sheath. Her sword killed people without staining blood. It was undoubtedly a good sword.
"snort!"
After snorting coldly, she turned around, walked back to her original position, stood still, and closed her eyes.
hiss!
"Dead!"
"this……"
…
When she closed her eyes, amidst the gasps of cold air, everyone's voices sounded again, but there was no sound.
These sounds spread farther and farther, and the sounds of commotion in the distance became smaller.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the last afterglow disappeared, everyone fell silent and looked at this place from a distance.
At the same time, three leaders close to the first-class forces stepped forward as representatives of the crowd.
Although the three of them were all at the level of Nascent Soul Dzogchen, before speaking to Lan Chen, they still bowed to Zhuo Leng - Zhuo Leng's sword made them very afraid, let alone his physical skills and martial arts.
, just the long sword that is suspected to be the top Xuan level is enough to move people.
"Excuse me, is this Director Lan?"
Seeing that the other party was being polite to him, Lan Chen also politely returned the favor.
"I wonder what the three seniors have to say?"
"I don't dare to be taught..."
Hearing that his words were still rude, an old woman quickly laughed and said:
"Director Lan, we have no intention of offending the noble family..."
In the past, Lan Chen might have spoken official language, but it was different now. His fear had changed, so he interrupted the man and said:
"Senior, just speak up if you have something to say."
Seeing how 'rude' this man was, the three of them looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Then, the old woman nodded amiably and continued:
"Presumably Gaomen has already heard about the incident in Sunset City?"
"I heard about it!"
"Ahem... We don't mean any harm. We just want to find a place to stay. I hope the high school can be accommodating!"
Lan Chen had already thought of a countermeasure to this situation, so he shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my seniors. We have no plans to open Tianyin City to the outside world for the time being."
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and their expressions were a little bad.
Although the combined power of the three of them is not as powerful as Tianyinmen, they represent not only their own power, but also those behind them who want to enter the city.
In other words, Lan Chen's rejection of them is tantamount to rejection of everyone!
This... is a bit much! You must know that some of these people behind them have quite a lot of power behind them. Lan Chen's actions can be said to be 'against the many big forces in the Azure Dynasty and the Big Bowl Country'.
different!
After thinking that she represented these forces, the old woman straightened her waist a lot, her voice became colder, and she stared into Lan Chen's eyes and said word by word:
"Director Lan, is this what you mean, or is it the meaning of Tianyin Sect as a whole?!"
"hehe……"
Lan Chen was fearless, looked at the old woman coldly, and said word by word:
"You don't deserve to ask me this question!"
"you……"
The old woman was furious and was about to speak but was interrupted by Lan Chen:
"Listen up! Anyone who breaks into Tianyin City without permission will be killed without mercy!"
His words were loud enough that the people surrounding him could hear them in the distance.
After speaking, he whispered to the three people:
"If you three don't believe it, you can come and give it a try!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the three people changed. They only represented everyone in name, and the name was just the name, not the reality. They did not dare to make arbitrary decisions. If they said harsh words, others would take action immediately, or take action in the future. Behind them,
Those people may not necessarily help them - to put it harshly, everyone is just a mob, with no unity at all.
Besides, they are just looking for a place to stay, and no one will be stupid enough to start a war with a big force over this.
The three people exchanged opinions over the message, and then said goodbye to Lan Chen.
When they retreated, they were not worried that people from Tianyin Sect would suddenly attack. The fact was as they thought, Tianyin Sect did not take action.
When the three people arrived, a group of leaders of small and medium-sized forces gathered around them.
"Senior, what's going on?!"
The three of them smiled bitterly, one person responsible for one direction, and repeated the conversation just now.
"hateful!"
Many people are indignant, but no one dares to suggest that "it's hard to be soft" or jump out.
They are not qualified to take the lead in this kind of matter, and the largest forces are not absent. This kind of matter must be decided after they discuss it.
Speaking of those big forces, someone asked them curiously where they were, and someone replied:
"They also left Sunset City, but did not come over. They gathered there and seemed to be discussing something..."
Everyone followed this person's hand and counted, and sure enough! They saw that the place was brightly lit, and more than a dozen powerful people gathered into more than a dozen squares. The big bosses should be in the animal skin shed in the center.
Seeing this, someone sighed and said loudly:
"never mind!"
Then he turned around and added:
"Let's just hang out tonight..."
After saying that, he had passed through the crowd and walked to an open space with thirty or forty people.
Everyone thought for a while, and many nodded and followed suit.
Not long after, tens of thousands of people dispersed and camped outside Tianyin City.
The bonfire lamps were lit up one after another, and from a distance, they looked like galaxies in the sky.
"call……"
Lan Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he called everyone from the Urban Management Bureau to discuss it.
Soon after, Heishan walked into the city with the results of the discussion and said to the heads of construction workers who did not dare to leave the city:
"Everyone has seen what happened. Let's work on it tonight. The city wall is just about the same. We will try to build the city within tonight! Let me tell you, the wages will be tripled tonight! I will arrange for people to prepare food right now!"
