On the strange peak, Xiang Yuan stared into the distance.

Dozens of miles away, Runan City, built on the mountain, lies quietly in the mountains.

On the side of the mountain, the miasma-like blue-black demonic aura vaguely condensed into a toothy and smiling face.

"Such a heavy demonic aura?" Looking at Runan City, which had been completely enveloped by demonic aura, Xiang Yuan whispered to himself.

The demonic aura is the own aura emitted by the great demon, just like if he does not suppress the aura with the power of the nine-fold coffin, he will also exude a similar masculine aura.

Surrounded by such a strong demonic aura, it shows that there must be a big demon in Runan City, and it is also a lawless big demon who does not know how to restrain at all.

Looking at it for a while, Xiang Yuan tapped his toes, jumped off this strange peak, and the whole person was like a light feather swaying with the wind, walking in the direction of Runan on a few pieces of gravel protruding from the mountain wall.

......

Runan, the Demon Mansion.

The pale Helian Yu closed his eyes and soaked in a copper vat that was bubbling with a white cold air.

A few hideous, black scratches could be seen on the neck that leaked out of the water.

"The head of the court, the envoy of Southern Wu requested. ”

Outside the room, the sound of asking to see came to Helian Yu's ears.

The head of the hospital, who was recuperating from his injuries, frowned and opened his eyes, and his purple eyes showed a little irritability.

"Let her in. ”

With Helian Yu's approval, the Nanwu envoy outside the door gently pushed open the door panel, and walked in slowly with a creak.

Yan Feifei, the heroic envoy of Southern Wu, who was playing with a broken snow-white blade in his hand, dressed in a strong suit and wearing a high ponytail, glanced at Helian Yu, who was healing, and laughed softly.

"It seems that the previous firm promise of the head of Helian is afraid that he is going to break his promise. ”

Ignoring Yan Feifei's teasing tone, Helian Yu closed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Why, did the Yan envoy come to see the jokes of this court?" ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Helian Yu's words, Yan Feifei smiled, sat aside, and naturally cocked his long round legs: "Don't misunderstand the head of Helian Academy, it's just that I have reminded the head of the courtyard before."

These out-of-control guys can't be estimated by common sense at all, unless you and I join forces, we can't help these guys at all with the strength of our alone.

The experience that I have spent decades summing up in Nanwu is by no means empty words. ”

With a sneer, Helian Yu opened his eyes and looked at Yan Feifei on the side: "Yes, Nanwu has known things for decades, but when he was beaten up by the Jin Kingdom, he remembered to cooperate with my Daliang."

Do you think this hospital should thank you or scold you? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Feifei leaned forward, and his front body was surging and showing a round shape: "It's useless for you and me to complain about this matter, and you also know that it is those big people who decide whether things are right or not."

You and I, we just need to take care of our subordinates, and that's fine.

How, cooperate or do you continue to carry it yourself?

But I don't think you can carry it for long. ”

Leaning his head against the edge of the copper jar, Helian Yu did not speak.

And silence is his answer to Yan Feifei.

"Okay, since the head of Helian has acquiesced, then I'll go back and prepare.

The head of the courtyard also notified people as soon as possible to move these dust people out of the city.

Otherwise, after doing it, I'm afraid there will be no one left of these dusters. ”

Laughing and getting up, Yan Feifei casually wrapped the broken blade around her hair, Helian Yu did not directly refuse her cooperation, which meant that she acquiesced.

It's just that I don't want to open my mouth for the sake of face.

"No need, it's just a million dusters, it's too troublesome to migrate to other places, so it's very convenient to stay here and use it as some sacrificial materials. ”

A word decided the life and death of millions of people, but Helian Yu didn't even blink an eye.

This is also the attitude of most family members towards ordinary mortals.

Human life is like dust, trampled on at will.

......

After ten years, he returned to Runan.

On the long bluestone slab entry path, Xiang Yuan wore a hat and rested on a tea stall with a group of vegetable croppers.

Holding a few small teacups on the edges of his hands, Xiang Yuan took a sip of tea that was slightly bitter in his mouth and had a faint aftertaste.

At this time, Xiang Yuan had a thick beard, bronze skin, and slightly bulging muscles.

Except for being a little strong, it looks no different from an ordinary peasant man.

Since the cultivation of the martial arts realm, Ruyi controls the change and growth of the physical body, which is as simple as eating and drinking water for Xiang Yuan.

Even as long as he wants to, he can make himself directly an old man.

"Brother Seven, this time we will finish delivering the food, let's change our livelihood, this work is really not going to be done, you see what the chaos has become in Runan. ”

Squatting on a stool, a man carrying vegetables whispered to his companion on the side.

The man, who was called the seventh brother by the man, took two puffs of dry tobacco and opened his mouth to spit out a cloud of blue-white smoke.

"Don't do it, don't do it, what will your son do to marry a daughter-in-law, and what will your father do to see a doctor.

Runan is in chaos like this, how much better do you think other places can be?

The money we earn now from taking on one meal is worth more than five times.

If you want me to say, let's take this opportunity to earn more money, and when we have money, we don't have to run around every day.

Buy two acres of land, raise two cows, and a few chickens, that's what is called living. ”

Hearing the days described by Brother Qi, several men who were carrying vegetables showed longing on their faces.

For these poor crop men, such a day is already the best life they can imagine.

A few acres of thin fields, two ploughing cows, and family companions, are happy.

That's life, that's life.

Xiang Yuan, who was on the side, heard the words of several crop men, and the tea in his hand couldn't help but ripple a little.

got up and drank the bitter tea in the cup in one gulp, turned the teacup upside down, and walked to the men in front of Xiang Yuan.

With a snap, a handful of broken silver was slapped.

"Take the money and go home. ”

Looking at the broken silver on the table in amazement, several men just wanted to look up, but found that the person who put down the money had disappeared.

Along with the vanishing baskets of vegetables they had carried.

"Seventh brother, this ......"

I couldn't believe it, I pinched a piece of broken silver on the table and took a bite, the texture of Microsoft showed the authenticity of the silver.

For a while, several men showed ecstasy, but they still resisted the urge to take the silver and set their eyes on the seventh brother.

Smoking a dry cigarette, Seventh Brother squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said in a low voice: "Good girl, this time I met his mother's living immortal."

The immortals have spoken, brothers, take the money, let's go home. ”

The group divided the broken silver, looked at the heavy silver in their hands, and immediately picked up the flat pole with a smile, hummed an unknown tune in their mouths, and walked towards the outside of the mountain along the way they came.

......

Outside Runan City

The empty and unguarded city gate is like a big mouth that selects people to devour, waiting for passers-by to throw themselves into the net.

The demonic aura that filled the sky almost obscured the entire sky over Runan.

Ordinary people can't see these extremely rich demonic qi, so they can only look up at the gloomy sky from time to time, and they can't see the light of day for a long time, and they have a few doubts.

City gates

Xiang Yuan, who covered half of his face with a hat, blended into the crowd and entered the city after a ten-year absence.

On both sides of the long street, there are many merchants and small stalls.

The whole city still seems to be running in an orderly manner, but if you look at it, you can easily spot a phenomenon.

That's everyone in the city, and their faces are dark blue.

This dark blue is not just the color of human skin, but a demeanor, a negative state.

Being in an environment with a strong demonic aura for a long time will cause subtle damage to ordinary people.

This kind of injury is like a chronic poison, you can't see anything at the beginning, but once it happens, it will be like a flash flood and quickly kill people.

The golden eyes under the hat swept in front of him, and Xiang Yuan's gaze gradually moved to the direction where the demonic aura was strongest in the city.

Walking through the streets and alleys, the once complicated and intricate mountain city has become much simpler in front of Xiang Yuan, who has a super long field of vision.

I walked all the way to the place where the demonic energy was the heaviest in the entire Runan, or the source of the demonic energy.

Xiang Yuan raised his head slightly, and four big characters came into his eyes.

Listen to the rain tea shop.

Looking at the tea shop in front of him with a hint of familiar taste, the corners of Xiang Yuan's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile.

At that time, he was poisoned by demons, and in order to survive, with the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he ran all the way from Zhuyang to this Runan, joined the Demon Mansion, and unknowingly became a medicine man who experimented with demon potions for the Demon Mansion.

Reminiscing about the past, it seems to have happened yesterday.

But the man who could only be reduced to an experiment in order to detoxify has now become the contemporary king of the human race.

And has the terrifying strength to crush the demons of the Atavistic Realm.

The world is changing, and I am afraid that no one can expect it.

Recalling a little, just as Xiang Yuan was about to walk into the blind shop of this demon mansion, a shadow happened to come out of the shop at this time.

The four looked at each other, and Xiang Yuan looked surprised: "It's you?"

Looking at the bearded man with a hat, He Qing looked puzzled, and glanced the man up and down, vaguely feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Seeing He Qing's confused face, Xiang Yuan smiled: "Don't you remember me? ”

As soon as Xiang Yuan said this, He Qing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization.

"It's you, Xiang Yuan!"

recognized the man in front of him, who was the companion who participated in the recruitment of the Demon Mansion with all his own back then, He Qing couldn't believe it:

"Why did you come here, were you also recruited?

No, I heard you weren't expelled from the Demon Mansion......"

Halfway through speaking, He Qing suddenly shut up.

Ten years ago, Xiang Yuan obtained the heart of the immortal corpse and knew that he was just an experimental object of the Demon Mansion, so he resolutely defected to the Demon Mansion.

After that, the Demon Mansion also organized a hunt for Xiang Yuan for a period of time, but later Xiaokong Fang of Sanshui City came forward and released him from the wanted list.

However, Xiang Yuan was still expelled from the Demon Mansion by the Demon Mansion.

That's why He Qing was so surprised when he saw Xiang Yuan at the gate of the Demon Mansion at this moment.

"It's a long story, do you have time now? Glancing at the Tingyu Tea Shop behind He Qing, Xiang Yuan said to He Qing.

Meiyu showed a hint of hesitation, He Qing just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Xiang Yuan on the opposite side had already grabbed her wrist and walked forward with her.

......

Yunhao Building, private room on the second floor

He Qing, who groped the edge of the teacup with her fingertips, looked at Xiang Yuan who was sipping tea on the other side with some nervousness.

It's really weird, Xiang Yuan is obviously just an ordinary person, but how can I be a little ...... Somewhat...... Afraid of him?

The silent Xiang Yuan just sat there, and the unspeakable heavy pressure made He Qing feel strong tension and crampedness.

This was not done by Xiang Yuan on purpose, but because he was a martial arts powerhouse in the Vajra Realm, and he had killed countless Yin God and Demons.

The majestic domineering spirit has been integrated into his gestures.

is like a secular high-ranking official, although he has no power to restrain the chicken, but the aura cultivated by holding power all year round can still make ordinary people feel heavy oppression.

"When you left a letter and left, Song Ning and I thought we wouldn't have a chance to see each other again. ”

The atmosphere in the room gradually froze, and just when He Qing was almost kicked out of breath by the pressure emanating from the man in front of him, Xiang Yuan finally opened his mouth to break the silence.

Whew-

Secretly relieved, He Qing smiled reluctantly: "Yes, how is Song Ning now." ”

"I got married, gave birth to a daughter, and now I am raising my husband and children at home. He smiled and said to the abyss.

The expression was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Song Ning, who looked quite fierce at the beginning, had already become his own son, He Qing couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Your hand has also recovered, and your father took it away to heal your hand. ”

Glancing at He Qing's intact left arm, Xiang Yuan smiled, and without waiting for He Qing to answer, he continued.

"Let's get down to business, is something happening in Bazhong County?"

Raising his eyes to face Xiang Yuan's faintly golden eyes, He Qing's legs were weak for a while, and he couldn't sit still when he sat on the chair.

"No, isn't this good everywhere, why do you suddenly ask that. With a stiff smile, He Qing quickly denied it.

Tuk –

The teacup touches the table top and makes a soft sound.

"Is it good everywhere?" chuckled and got up, walked to the window on the second floor, pointed to the gloomy color in the sky, and turned his head to look at He Qing

"This demonic aura that is all over the sky and even covered by the sun is also called good?"

"Did you see that?"

"Why can't I see it?"

Slowly walked to He Qing's side, and patted the old man's shoulder: "He Qing, you have to know."

I chose to talk to you this way because you are only half a family member.

Otherwise, I have a lot of ways to get you to say everything I want to know.

Now, to answer my first question, what happened in Bazhong County?"

Feeling the strength of the iron hoop on his shoulder, He Qing gritted his teeth and just wanted to resist.

A scorching breath suddenly poured out from these big hands, making the demon blood that had finally accumulated in her body unable to move like a mouse seeing a cat.

"This matter is a highly confidential matter of the Demon Mansion, and knowing it will not do you any good, and may even lead to the entire Demon Mansion chasing and killing you. ”

Carrying out the final persuasion, He Qing was still trying to scare Xiang Yuan back in the name of the Demon Mansion.

"You don't have to worry about it. ”

Seeing that Xiang Yuan was so oily and salty, He Qing sighed secretly, and just wanted to make up a random reason to deceive Xiang Yuan, but immediately felt a lot of force on the hands on his shoulders.

The sharp pain made He Qing couldn't help but let out a low sigh, but when she found out that the demon blood she had finally accumulated actually began to disappear under that scorching breath, the sharp pain in her shoulder was suddenly left behind.

"Don't try to lie to me, I said I have a lot of means to get you to tell the truth.

If you do this thought again, the demon blood in your body will disappear.

"No, I'll tell you right now. "It took a lot of hard work to get today's achievements, and He Qing naturally refused to let it go down the drain.

"The reason why there is such a big demon in Runan is because there is a big demon imprisoned under this city. ”

"Great demon, which family?"

"It's not the Shi family, the real body of this big demon is the branch master of the Demon Mansion of Bazhong County-Tu Lian. ”

"What?" frowned slightly, and said to Yuan, "What is the specific situation." ”

"It's too specific, I don't know, I only know that a year ago, the Runan Branch suddenly summoned a large number of Demon Mansion officials above the rank of secretary to rush here.

After coming here, I found out through my father's relationship that the government had brought us all here.

It's because this branch lord suddenly lost control and turned into a rampaging big demon.

And the reason for summoning us here is to cooperate with other adults to suppress and contain him when the branch master breaks through the trap of the underground.

As for why and how the branch lord got out of control, I don't know. ”

Afraid that Xiang Yuan would lose all the demon blood in his body, He Qing hurriedly told everything he knew.

Letting go of the girl who was already scared and her back was soaked with sweat, Xiang Yuan walked to the side thoughtfully.

The branch master is out of control, and the demon mansion will make such a low-level mistake?

Looks like we'll have to find someone with a better level to ask......

The figure of a slightly chubby man subconsciously appeared in his mind, Xiang Yuan chuckled, and looked through the window on the second floor to the Tingyu Tea Shop opposite.

......
