Chapter 1: Thirty Years
Since the birth of the first demon emperor Bai Ze of the demon clan three thousand years ago, the powerhouses of the demon clan have sprung up one after another.
According to historical records, in just 800 years, thirty-two demon clans were sanctified, and the entire world was originally transformed into Yan, Yong, Qing, Hebei, Xu, Yu, Yang, Liang, and Jing.
The human race originally occupied the seven continents of Qing, Hebei, Xu, Henan, Yang, Liang, and Jing, and was a well-deserved overlord of the world. The demon clan only survived in the gap between Yan and Yongzhou, but the demon emperor Bai Ze led the demon saint under his command to launch a large-scale attack on the human forces 1,500 years ago, and conquered the land of Qing, Hebei, and Xu in just thirty years. The whole human realm was shaken, and the Terran Emperor Yanhuang rose from the human palace, and finally left without being defeated in the nine days of the battle between Qingzhou and Bai Ze. At this point, the whole human environment is in turmoil! The human race seems to have lost the last straw, retreating one after another, and finally only protecting Yang, Liang and Liang are still breathing, and the demon race has also stopped the pace of attack after getting the five continents. But the crisis of the demon race hangs over everyone's heads at all times, and on the deserted border of Yangzhou, there is such a group of people guarding the last line of defense of the human race.
In the ten years after the end of the war between the two clans, thirteen towering towers stood in Yangzhou's thousand-mile defense line, which is also known as the city of guardians, the final city, and it is these thirteen guardian cities that guard the last line of defense of mankind.
In the following thousand years, although the demon clan did not launch a large-scale offensive, it still maintained the frequency of a small battle in March and a major war in three years, and the thirteen guardian cities were gradually dyed red by blood, no one can tell how many people have died here, let alone how many lives will be lost here.
In the year 3304 of the Human Emperor Calendar, in the Split Demon City, one of the guardian cities, a group of people dressed incompatible with the scenery in the city were slowly walking through the city walls. The middle-aged man led by him actually saluted respectfully to the guards in front of the city, "Yangzhou Yang's Yangzhen greets Lord Chen." ”
But the guards in front of the city gate didn't look at Yang Zhen directly, but just said slowly, "Let go." ”
"Where did a city gate guard get the guts" The person behind Yang Zhen was dissatisfied, "Who dares not to give us the Yang family face in Yangzhou." ”
"Shut up. Yang Zhen turned around and shouted angrily.
The guard at the door sneered, "A guard in front of the door? ”
"Lord Chen is angry, these people are also coming to Crack Demon City for the first time, some rules are naturally not understood, Lord Chen must not take it to heart. ”
"Come in," the guard at the door looked impatient.
At the last step of Yang Zhen stepping into the city gate, Chen Guan squinted slightly, and then swung out a knife, and the sharp knife qi rushed towards Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen's face changed slightly, and he also drew his knife and swung away, and the two powerful knife qi fought against each other in the air for a few seconds but disappeared silently.
"Hmph, it's not a person who has lost Lao Tzu. Chen Gong slowly turned his back.
Yang Zhen smiled slightly and walked forward, but at the moment when the city gate was closed, he knelt down directly in the direction of the city gate, "No, disciple Yang Zhen has seen the teacher. ”
Chen Gong outside the city gate tugged at the corners of his mouth and did not speak.
And the group of young children behind Yang Zhen were very frightened, Yang Zhen, who was basically regarded as a new generation leader in the Yang family, actually knelt down to a city gate guard?" ?" someone asked.
Yang Zhen stood up and sighed, "This is my mentor who has been trained in Split Demon City for several years, I have already told you when I came, Split Demon City and all the guardian cities are different from any place in Yangzhou, don't think that you are the children of the Yang family and feel that you are superior, here, the most worthless thing is human life." ”
"No wonder it's called the Land of the Barbarians," muttered a little girl behind her.
The children behind him looked at the scenery in the city, and saw that the residents in the city were all in a hurry, and a few people looked at them and quickly looked away, not caring about their group of visitors at all.
Someone was dissatisfied, "No one came to greet us, not to mention that we want to wash the dust and catch the wind, at least a few people will be lined up to express it."
"Everyone is hovering between life and death, how can we have time to care about us visitors who don't matter to the war. Yang Zhen shook her head and said no more, she couldn't understand the customs here without staying in the Guardian City for a few years, and she couldn't understand why everyone here was so indifferent and seemingly ruthless.
"Cracked Demon City," Yang Zhen said to herself, "Thirty years later, I'm back again." ”
"Lord Yang, shall we rest here for a few days first?"
"No, time is urgent, we'll leave after picking people up. Yang Zhen said and took out the transmission token from the storage ring, "City Lord, we have arrived." ”
A few seconds later, Yang Zhen's group disappeared from the same place in an instant, and crossed into the city lord's mansion.
An old man with white hair but still in good spirits looked at them with a smile,
"Welcome to Yangzhou. ”
A group of people all clasped their fists and saluted, "I've seen City Lord Chen!"
The old man glanced at Yang Zhen and said with a smile, "The little kid who didn't dare to pull out his sword in front of the demon group at the beginning is now a great monk in the realm of merging." ”
Yang Zhen was helpless, "Dare to call yourself a great monk in front of you, it's not a shame on yourself." ”
"Friends, let's go to the next room and rest for a while. The old man still had a few important things to discuss with Brother Yang. The old man smiled and waved his left hand, and everyone except Yang Zhen was sent to the next room.
"This city lord's cultivation is indeed terrifying, and he can easily move us from the city gate to the city lord's mansion. ”
"That's natural, after all, he is the city lord of the defending city, and being able to sit in this position is not only to be expected, but also to be able to suppress the offensive of the demon clan. ”
"But this guarded city looks really boring. ”
"The city of guards is so far away from the inner border of Yangzhou, it is almost closed, where to go to have some entertainment. ”
The children of the Yang family began to talk nonsense.
"The city lord's cultivation is really getting better and better. Yang Zhen looked at the old man and sighed.
"It only took thirty years to build a foundation from a small foundation to the current Combined Monk, and you kid is making rapid progress. The old man looked at Yang Zhen with indescribable satisfaction on his face.
"I still remember that at the beginning, you kid was stunned at the demon clan and didn't dare to pull it out," the old man recalled with a smile.
Yang Zhen sighed, "Don't mention those old things city lords, the first time I faced the attack of the demon clan, I really couldn't slow down, and now I have to admit that the gap between the monks of Yangliang Erzhou and the monks of the guardian city is too big, they haven't really seen blood, they haven't fought with the demon clan, they haven't seen life pass out of their arms, they can't understand that feeling at all, and now many monks in Yangzhou even think that the demon clan is just the same as the human race, they have been comfortable for too long." ”
There was a hint of mockery on the old man's face. "Thousands of years of comfort in the face of the demon clan's offensive have disappeared in a few decades, how long can they think they can be comfortable. ”
Yang Zhen's face became solemn, after more than thirty years of leaving the guarded city, he really didn't know what had happened on the border now.
