Shi Mu and Cai'er, under the leadership of the shop guys, came to a private room on the second floor of the restaurant and sat down, and soon a few plates of snacks and wine were sent by the junior in the hall.

Cai'er's eyes lit up, cheered, and pounced on it to feast.

Shi Mu looked at Cai'er like this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This kind of leisurely situation has not passed for a long time, and at the moment I felt a little lighter, reached out and picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.

The wine is spicy and fragrant, and it is indeed the best of the wild spirits.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps under the stairs, and the group walked upstairs, and there were quite a few people.

Shi Mu's heart moved, and he glanced out through the crack in the door, and his eyes couldn't help but stare slightly.

The people who came up were some gray-robed Terrans, armed with magic staff and swords, who were none other than the Stygian Sect.

However, among these people, there were a few people who were obviously dressed differently, and they were actually dressed by the Dark Moon Eastern Sect.

The group sat down in a larger box not far from them, pulled up a screen, and covered the private room tightly, and the sound inside was also covered, and very little could be heard.

"Stone, what's wrong?" Cai'er, who was immersed in hard work, raised her neck and burped, noticing the change in Shi Mu's expression, and asked.

Shi Mu made a silent gesture, put down the wine glass, closed his eyes, silently used the power of the totem, his ears moved slightly, and the received sound suddenly became louder, and the sound of the box also came clearly into his ears.

"Brother Li, this cup of brother respects you!"

"Brother Ba is too polite, I should respect you first!"

"Brother Li said this, we used to be in different regions, but we are all the same sect. Since you and these brothers have been sent to Rikang City, you will be my brother in Ba Ming from now on, and you will take care of each other in the future!"

"Okay, then I'll be in trouble with my brother from now on. ”

"Tell us about your adventures in the sea!"

Then there was the clashing of wine glasses and the sound of toasts.

When Shi Mu heard this, his eyebrows raised.

It seems that during this period of time, the Eastern Sect of the Dark Moon led by Liu An should have been in contact with the Western Sect of the Dark Moon.

Although I don't know what the specific situation is now, it can be seen from the conversations of these people that these Eastern Sect disciples should have been integrated into the Western Sect and assigned to various city altars.

He chuckled, the people of the Western Sect did this, I am afraid that they were afraid that the people of the Eastern Sect would seize power, and deliberately scattered these disciples to various branches.

However, Liu An is arrogant, and he wants to make a comeback here, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Dongzhou, and he may not be willing to live under the fence for a long time.

It seems that the Dark Moon Sect in the Xihe Continent will have a lot of fluctuations in the future.

"Stone, what are you laughing at? Tell me about it, don't steal the fun alone. Cai'er muttered dissatisfied.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just some people from the Stygian Sect. Shi Mu briefly said what he had just heard and speculated.

"This willow bank is so insidious, you should be careful when you encounter a stone in the future!" When Cai'er heard the name "willow shore", her body shook for no reason, as if she had heard something terrible.

"Hehe, I don't want to meet him again. Shi Mu said.

"There are also people from the Dark Moon Eastern Sect in Cannes this day, if they recognize you, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome, what are you going to do?" Cai'er asked.

"I have nothing to do with the Stygian Moon Eastern Sect, even if they recognize me, what can they do to me?" Shi Mu picked up his wine glass and drank it all.

The crisp drink lingers down the throat and makes people feel refreshed.

"That's right, among those hall masters, except for Liu An, no one else may have the ability to keep you. Cai'er said.

"Okay, my stomach is full, let's go. Shi Mu stood up and walked towards the outside of the private room, and Cai'er hurriedly followed.

Shi Mu walked out of the restaurant and walked straight towards the city gate.

"You've decided?" said Cai'er.

"Well, westbound. Shi Mu nodded.

He was not interested in the dispute between the various clans in the Xihe Continent, he just wanted to improve his strength while going to Ling Tianfeng.

At this very moment-

Thundered!

There was a rumbling sound from outside, low and loud, and even the ground shook slightly, and the tiles of the houses on both sides of the street trembled.

On the street, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

"What's wrong!"

"What happened?"

Shi Mu's face also changed, and then his body shook and walked in the direction of the city gate, and at the same time released Cai'er, asking him to see what was going on.

After a while, a little golden light in front of him quickly magnified, and the situation at the city wall suddenly appeared in his mind.

At this moment, on the city wall sentry posts on all sides of the city, the barbarian soldiers stationed in the city looked like they were waiting for battle, and the huge city gates on the east and west sides had been slowly closed.

Outside the city, on the horizon in four directions, an overwhelming variety of demon beasts appeared, and they were coming towards Rikang City.

Demon wolves, demon foxes, and more are all kinds of snakes and demon beasts, densely packed, at least tens of thousands.

There are also several huge demon beasts in front of the many small demon beasts, the body is huge, and the rumbling vibration is the sound of these demon beasts running.

As the demon beasts approached, the barbarian soldiers on the city wall began to change their faces drastically, almost completely stunned.

"How can there be so many demon beasts!"

"Yes...... It's a beast tide...... We are surrounded!"

"Inform the Castle Lord!"

A moment later, in the corner of a tall building near the city wall, a figure stood here, it was Shi Mu, who had just arrived.

He looked at the situation outside the city, and his expression changed greatly.

At this moment, a majestic trumpet sound came from the city, and one after another figures flew out of the city and landed on the surrounding city walls, with dozens of people.

At the same time, there was a buzzing sound.

The four corners of Rikang City lit up with four clusters of light, which quickly spread out, turning into a huge hemispherical light curtain, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloping the entire city inside.

Seeing the shield appear, the originally panicked crowd in the city suddenly calmed down.

The two figures rose from the city, exuding bursts of monstrous power, and stood side by side in the air.

Among the two, the one on the left is a majestic middle-aged man in a yellow robe and a gold belt, tall, wearing a purple and gold crown, and his temples are slightly gray, but his hands are as white as jade, and he is extremely calm, giving people a feeling of infinite strength.

The other is a young woman in a gray shirt and gray skirt, with a well-proportioned figure, beautiful lines, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and a unique charm in her eyebrows.

Shi Mu's eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

Naturally, he had never seen a middle-aged man with a golden crown, but this young woman in a gray dress was none other than Xiao Yu, one of the hall masters of the Stygian Moon Eastern Sect.

Shi Mu wasn't surprised that this person appeared here, but this jade temperament had changed drastically from before, and it seemed that she was no longer the cold beauty.

Moreover, the coercion exuded by this woman was faintly more than before, and it actually gave him a feeling of palpitations.

"Could it be that this woman has had some adventures in this short period of time, or is it that the aura of heaven and earth here is strong, so that she has broken through the bottleneck of cultivation in one fell swoop?" Shi Mu secretly guessed in his heart.

"Pass the order! All the guards are guarding the four walls and turning on all the machinery that guards the city. The middle-aged man with the golden crown spoke.

The sound was not loud, but it instantly spread throughout the city.

The guards in the city poured into the city wall, busy, and huge wooden pillars rose up on the city wall, and huge bows and crossbows, stone carts and other things were erected on the wooden pillars, which were engraved with barbarian totem runes, which seemed to be some magic weapons blessed by the talisman array.

Not long after doing this, the demon beasts outside the city had already come to a hundred feet away from the city wall, but they did not immediately attack the city, but just quietly lay in place.

However, the overwhelming demon beasts, just the momentum they exuded, was enough to make the hearts of the people in the city tremble.

The middle-aged man with the golden crown and the young woman in the gray dress saw the demon beast outside the city, and their faces were a little unpleasant.

The two glanced at each other, and the middle-aged man with the golden crown waved his hand to shoot out a blue light, and as soon as he touched the light curtain around the city wall, the light curtain suddenly cracked a gap.

The two of them passed through it and flew out of the city.

"Down there is the city lord of Rikang City, Youcan! This is the altar master of the Rikang branch of the Dark Moon Sect, I don't know why all the demon clan Daoists suddenly attacked Rikang City at this moment? Could it be that they want to provoke a war between the demon clan and our barbarian clan?" The middle-aged man with the golden crown rolled in his voice, spreading like a tsunami.

The demon beast below that had cultivated to be weak suddenly showed a look of fear and took a few steps back.

At this moment, a cloud of black qi flew out from among the demon clans and floated in front of the middle-aged man with the golden crown and Xiao Yu.

A black light flashed, revealing a man in a black cloak.

Although this person is humanoid, he has a long jet-black snake tail behind him, and his skin is also covered with uneven black scales, his pupils are fiery red, as if two points of red fire, and the slender vertical pupils emit a cold light.

He wore a golden ring on his finger, on which was set with a white gem that looked unremarkable, but on which was written a number sixty-seven.

The middle-aged man with the golden crown and Xiao Yu's eyes fell on the golden ring at the same time, and their faces changed slightly.

"Your Excellency, isn't it the patriarch of the python demon clan, the Daoyou of Ao Kui, who is known as the marsh viper?" the middle-aged man with the golden crown groaned for a moment and said.

"That's right, this seat is Ao Kui!" the cloaked man began, his voice cold and solemn.

"Ao Kui Daoyou suddenly led a large number of men here today, I don't know why?" asked the middle-aged man with the golden crown.

"Catch a murderer!" said the man in the cloak.

When the middle-aged man with the golden crown heard this, he glanced at Xiao Yu beside him, and seemed to be a little stunned.

"Murderer?" asked the middle-aged man with the golden crown.

"Hmph, the clan brother was killed in the snake cave swamp a few days ago, and even the beast soul was taken away, I have investigated and got the exact news, the murderer is hiding in Rikang City at the moment. The cloaked man snorted coldly.

As soon as these words came out, on the tall buildings in the city, Shi Mu's face changed, and Cai'er also glanced at Shi Mu in surprise, and her body trembled a little uneasily.

The two immediately remembered the red-ringed demon python that had been killed in the Snake Cave Swamp. (To be continued.) )
