Chapter 1 Dinghai City
There are only five truly powerful countries on the Yulin Continent, namely the Great Yuan Empire located in the east, the Bright Empire in the west, the Bright Moon Empire in the south, the Eagle Empire in the north, and the Tianshui Empire in the center. Every empire www.biquge.info covers an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, and hundreds of countries of different strength are attached below. But what really decided the direction of the Yulin Continent was not these five huge empires, but the Xiuzhen sect hidden behind them. The Xiuzhen Sect is the real master of the Yulin Continent!
Cultivators have powerful abilities, and it is not illusory to soar into the sky, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and change their lives against the sky. Behind the five empires, there is a top-level Xiuzhen sect to support them, so that they can take charge of Qiankun and command the world. Without the support of the Xiuzhen sect, the empire has long since collapsed in the tide of history. It's like the Moonlight Empire, the largest empire on the Yulin Continent two thousand years ago, with the decline and fall of the Zixia Sect, the top cultivation sect behind it, it also fell from the altar of power, and its glory was no longer there, and it was finally destroyed by the current five empires and became history.
Shen Yu City, is the second largest city in Tianfeng country, with a history of more than 500 years, a radius of more than 40,000 square kilometers, with a population of more than 10 million, the huge city stands on the earth, exuding a magnificent momentum, looking from a distance, like a magnificent war fortress. The whole city exudes a harsh and cold atmosphere at all times.
Although Shen Yu City is the second largest city in Tianfeng Country, it does not have the corresponding prosperity and comfort, in terms of economy, it can only be ranked last, but when it comes to force, it is far more than any city in Tianfeng Country. The root of all this is that Shen Yu City is located on the edge of the Beast Forest.
The beast forest stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains and mountains are innumerable, rich in all kinds of elixirs, and the monster resources are also very rich, as long as you have the courage to break into the beast forest, and have the luck to come out alive, you can always have a rich harvest. The Beast Forest has a group of powerful demon beasts, and Shen Yu City is the only passage for the Beast Forest to the outside world, naturally, Shen Yu City has become a front-line barrier against the ravages of demon beasts, which is also the original intention of Shen Yu City to be established.
The Heavenly Wind Country is only a small country attached to the Bright Moon Empire, the strength is not strong, and the martial artists with the highest cultivation in the country only have the strength of the Innate Double Heaven, if the demon beasts in the beast forest really come out, maybe it only takes a few charges, Shen Yu City will be broken, and within a few days, the Heavenly Wind Country will exist in name only. After all, the strength of demon beasts is also strong and weak, each high-level demon beast has a strength comparable to the innate realm, although it is impossible to detect the specific number of high-level demon beasts in the beast forest, but there are always hundreds, and there are still strengths far beyond the existence of high-level demon beasts, it only takes one breath, the innate master will suffer a heavy blow, and even fall, although it is unbelievable, but no one will doubt it, because these words are all from the mouth of the Shitian martial artist of the Bright Moon Empire, Shitian martial artist is one of the only eight martial artists on the Yulin Continent, It is a big man who stands at the peak of martial arts, enjoys great fame in the entire Yulin Continent, and his strength is even more powerful, and the innate master faces him, just like an ant facing an ordinary person, but it is just the size of a head.
Although the beast forest is extremely dangerous, for some reason, every time the beast tide erupts, the scale is relatively small, and few high-level demon beasts lead the demon beast group to attack Shen Yu City, which gives Shen Yu City a chance to hold on, and in order to better defend Shen Yu City, a large number of acquired masters from various cities in the Tianfeng Kingdom also come to Shen Yu City to garrison, just in case. If Shen Yu City can't defend against the attack of the demon beast group, the Heavenly Wind Kingdom will definitely fall, and the people in other cities will not be able to avoid the threat of death.
Every ten years, there will be a beast tide in the beast forest, launching an attack on Shen Yu City, at that moment, the demon beasts all over the mountains are dense, and they are innumerable, and the deafening roars of the demon beasts come and go, and it is extremely scary to hear. Every warrior who stays in Shen Yu City will take up arms and consciously stand on the front line to resist the menacing demon beasts, even the people who are powerless will pick up the farm tools and wooden sticks beside them, dedicate their own strength, and do their best, no one will flinch, because, if Shen Yu City is broken, they will also lose their lives and the mouth of the demon beasts, except for a few powerful warriors, no one can escape! Although there are a lot of casualties in every beast tide, they can always survive safely, so Shen Yu City can still guard this passage, so that the demon beasts can stay in the beast forest, and they can't come out to kill all parts of the Heavenly Wind Country. Because you have to fight with demon beasts all the time, and fighting is the most direct way to improve your strength, it is difficult to think about Shen Yucheng's strength.
Fifty years ago, for some reason, there was a big riot in the beast forest next to Shen Yu City, countless low-level demon beasts and intermediate demon beasts flocked to Shen Yu City, frantically hitting the city gate and city wall, the entire Shen Yu City seemed to shake, all the people rushed to the front line, and the demon beasts were fighting, and a tragic and protracted battle was launched. Although because of the frequent occurrence of beast tides, Shen Yu City has a lot of preparations, but the scale of this beast tide is several times larger than in previous years, in the past, at most a high-level demon beast with some medium and low-level demon beasts and a large group of unintelligent beasts to attack Shen Yu City, but this time, the attack on the city has become a large group of intermediate demon beasts and low-level demon beasts, ordinary beasts are very few, and high-level demon beasts are a full five, and the time is also a few days in advance, hitting Shen Yu City a hand rubbing hands and suffering heavy losses. Although all the people in Shen Yu City are fighting desperately, the strength of the demon beasts in this beast tide is too strong, low-level martial artists often die tragically at the hands of demon beasts in a few faces, and the powerful acquired martial artists also continue to fall, and the screams of human beings before death have been continuous, and for an hour, the place where the two sides fought was stained red with blood, and there were broken limbs and broken corpses everywhere.
After the lord of the Heavenly Wind Country learned about it, he ordered the nearby city to support, but it was difficult to save the fire from afar, and even if it arrived, it was difficult to withstand the killing of the beasts, after all, the strength of the demon beasts was generally one level higher than that of humans in the same realm, and if the human beings did not have some special means or killing moves, they would not be able to defeat the demon beasts nine times out of ten. A high-level demon beast is equivalent to a congenital master, although the strength of the innate master is also strong and weak, but the highest martial artist of the Tianfeng Kingdom is only a congenital double heaven, and there is only one person, and there are only five innate masters in the entire Tianfeng country, except for the innate double heaven martial artist who is guarding in the capital of the Tianfeng country, the other four innate martial artists have been guarding Shen Yu City, from the capital of the Tianfeng country to Shen Yu City, it will take five days at the earliest, and when this innate martial artist arrives, I am afraid that Shen Yu City has already been slaughtered by the demon beasts. Even if these five high-level demon beasts only have the strength of the innate one-fold heaven, it is not something that the current Shen Yu City can resist, and now in Shen Yu City, there are only four masters of the congenital one-fold heaven realm and no more than fifty people in the ten-fold realm of the day after tomorrow, and there are only five people in the twelfth realm of the day after tomorrow, after all, behind these five high-level demon beasts, there are still a lot of middle-level demon beasts, which are completely enough to overwhelm the high-end combat power of Shen Yucheng.
In the face of this tragic scene, everyone in Shen Yu City had heavy faces, they didn't know if they could hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and they didn't know if they could successfully resist the attack of the demon beast again, this was a real disaster launched by the demon beast, not only involving the rise and fall of a city in Shen Yu City, but the fate of the entire Tianfeng Country, looking at the oncoming demon beasts, they didn't think about anything else in their minds, only a voice kept shouting in their minds, kill! Kill! Kill!
It was truly a tragedy that cannot be described in words. Two days and two nights have passed since the monster beast siege, in order to protect Shen Yu City, protect their families, and protect their own country, the people of Shen Yu City and the demon beasts that came to attack had a fierce collision and fight, and countless people died in this beast tide, and even the complete corpse could not be left, and was swallowed into the belly by the beast herd.
The city gate was finally broken by the demon beast two hours ago, everyone rushed to the city gate desperately, using weapons and even their own bodies to resist the vicious demon beasts, even if they died, they wanted to block the ferocious demon beasts outside the city gate, and even the only four innate masters in the city were killed and injured in the fierce battle with five high-level demon beasts, although they desperately killed two high-level demon beasts, but there were five high-level demon beasts that came this time, and the two innate masters who were still alive, one was seriously injured and had no strength to fight again, The whole person fell into a coma, and although the other was slightly injured, he was unable to support himself, and he was definitely not the opponent of the three high-level demon beasts who were still alive, and his defeat was only in an instant.
When the two innate warriors fell, the people of the entire city were desperate, without the innate warriors to resist and kill the demon beasts that came to attack, in the face of the huge group of demon beasts, they couldn't resist at all, knowing that moving forward was a dead end, but retreating was impossible, they retreated, what should their families do, even if they died, they had to fight, plus the people from other cities to help were about to arrive, all the people rushed to the demon beast again, even if it was death, they were also biting the body of the demon beast and were unwilling to let go, hoping to give others a chance, If you drag it out a little longer, you can get through this disaster. Although they know that there is little hope, they can't give up! Even if you know that this hope is just an extravagant hope.
At this most critical moment, the four brothers of Chen Dinghai, who were wandering around, came to Shen Yu City, and saw the scene like the hell of this Shura, without hesitation, the four brothers of Chen Dinghai glanced at each other and rushed to the group of demon beasts, their once warm home was also destroyed under the claws of the demon beasts, it can be said that the hatred of the demon beasts is as deep as the sea, even if there is no tragic thing, it is impossible to watch so many people being slaughtered by the demon beasts.
When he was wandering on the road, Chen Dinghai broke through his cultivation again last year and reached the second level of innate strength, and his fourth brother Chen Dinghuo also broke through to the innate realm last month, and the second brother Chen Dingfeng and the third brother Chen Dingtian also had the cultivation of the peak of the twelve heavens of the day after tomorrow.
Chen Dinghai rushed to the only high-level demon beast in the field, the Iron Thorn Silver Wolf, which was at the peak of the innate realm, only to see that it was more than twice as large as an ordinary wolf demon beast, with hair erect all over its body, like sharp iron thorns embedded in it, fast and agile between running, the eyes of the two wolves were full of bloodthirsty red light, and there was a broken arm in its mouth, and one of the congenital masters who died was cut by it and died tragically on the spot. Although Chen Dinghai's cultivation is one level higher than the iron thorn silver wolf, but he can't help it for a while, he can only fight a drum, the second brother Chen Dingfeng and the fourth brother Chen Dinghuo rushed to another high-level demon beast Red Fire Fox, the third brother Chen Dingtian went to help the innate masters in the city to fight the injured jasper poison toad together, due to the addition of Chen Dinghai's four brothers, the pace of the demon beast was finally temporarily stopped, and the people of Shen Yu City also saw hope again, and people broke out with stronger combat effectiveness, fighting forward regardless of death, In addition, the people from the cities of the Heavenly Wind Country who came to help finally arrived one after another, and the remaining innate masters of the Heavenly Wind Country also came to Shen Yu City to join the battlefield, and together with Chen Dinghai, they besieged the Iron Thorn Silver Wolf, and the other martial artists also pounced on other demon beasts one after another to start a fight.
After half an hour of desperate fighting, the pace of the demon beast killing was finally blocked, and people began to defend and attack in an orderly manner. In the end, the remaining three high-level demon beasts also died one by one, with the death of the leading high-level demon beasts, the attack of the demon beast group finally slowed down, except for a small number of demon beasts still raging in the city, most of the demon beasts were driven out of the broken city gate, except for the innate martial artists who could still fight in Shen Yu City, led many acquired martial artists to chase and kill the demon beasts in the city, everyone else blocked the city gate, and even rushed out of the city, and fought face-to-face with the bloodthirsty demon beasts.
The battle lasted for another day, and the remaining demon beasts launched several sieges one after another, except for leaving a lot of corpses, they could no longer step into Shen Yu City for half a step, and finally scattered when the night came, running towards the beast forest behind them, leaving behind a large number of demon beast corpses. The people finally defended Shen Yu City, blocked this terrifying beast tide, and survived this disaster that they thought had no way to live.
No one cheered, no one rejoiced, only a deep sadness spread through the city after the catastrophe. Too many fell to their knees, weeping, screaming, and screaming; Countless people shouted the names of their loved ones, stumbling around the city in search of them, but it was difficult to get a response. The once prosperous Shen Yu City has long been ruined, like a ruin, and it can no longer be seen that it was once magnificent and majestic. In the city, there are stumps and broken bodies everywhere, and blood is everywhere, as if the entire Shenyu City has been smeared with a layer of red paint, except for sadness, or sadness, and there is no other brilliance.
Chen Dinghai and Chen Dingtian hugged Chen Dingfeng, who was covered in blood, and their faces were full of grief, and their eyes were full of tears of sadness. Although the demon beast finally retreated, their fourth brother Chen Dinghuo died under the counterattack of the high-level demon beast Red Fire Fox, and his body was gone, and he was burned to ashes by the natal essence of the Red Fire Fox, and the second brother Chen Dingfeng was also injured too seriously in the fight with the high-level demon beast, his life was dying, and he fainted, even if he could come back to life, he was afraid that the path of martial arts would be broken. Standing at the place where Chen Dinghuo died, the two couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, shedding tears.
Seeing the ashes in front of him, Chen Dinghai's mind unconsciously recalled the past, his four brothers' homes were destroyed by demon beasts, but he didn't expect the fourth brother to die at the hands of demon beasts again, he had a violent mood in his heart, wanting to kill all the demon beasts. Before this, the four brothers also said that they would travel farther away, see other countries, and even go to the Mingyue Empire to see, and pursue the path of martial arts together, but they didn't expect that here, the fourth brother would be separated from the three of them forever, and even the corpse capital could not be left, and his heart was extremely sad.
The major families in the city have also suffered heavy losses, and the ones that can be roughly preserved are the Xu family, the Liu family, the Li family and the Wang family, and even the city lord's mansion has been wiped out in this beast tide, not to mention other families, either there are a few people with low strength left, who cannot continue to maintain the existence of the family, or they will be directly wiped out in this beast tide, and everything will be empty. Although the casualties were too tragic, Shen Yu City was saved after all, everyone's relatives and lovers got a chance to live, no matter how big the sacrifice was, it was worth it, it was much better than the result of the destruction of the city and the country.
A few days later, the lord of the Tianfeng Kingdom personally came to Shen Yu City to express his condolences, and summoned the three Chen Dinghai brothers to express their gratitude for their help at this moment of crisis, and even decided to change the name of Shen Yu City to Dinghai City in order to keep them, and appointed Chen Dinghai as the new city lord, highlighting the contribution of the Chen Dinghai brothers to the Tianfeng Kingdom. The three brothers Chen Dinghai thought carefully: the fourth brother died here, they have no other thoughts, they don't want to run around anymore, and it is also a good choice to settle down here, with the strength of their three brothers, they can establish their own family here and make it continue, plus the current situation in the city and the importance of the lord of the country to them, it is only a matter of time before the Chen family develops and grows. In the end, the three brothers Chen Dinghai agreed to stay as the lord of the Tianfeng Kingdom, but politely refused the appointment to be the lord of the city. Under the joint management of the new city lord's mansion and the five families surnamed Chen, Xu, Liu, Li, and Wang, Dinghai City regained its brilliance, and the reconstruction of the city after the disaster was also orderly, and it returned to the state before the beast tide in less than two years.
Fifty years later, the former Shenyu City and now Dinghai City have become more prosperous. The Chen family, established by the three brothers of Chen Dinghai, has also become the most powerful family in Dinghai City, and there is no one. The City Lord's Mansion and other families, although they have a deeper background than them, are at least one grade worse in terms of pure force. In today's Dinghai City, the Chen family has three innate masters, namely Chen Dinghai's two brothers and Chen Dinghai's son Chen Batian, and there is only one innate master in the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families. In order to pursue a higher martial arts cultivation, the two brothers Chen Dinghai and Chen Dingtian have been in retreat to impact a higher realm, and it is rare to appear in front of the descendants of the Chen family, and now the head of the Chen family is Chen Batian, the second uncle Chen Dingfeng was injured too much fifty years ago, and he can no longer advance in cultivation, so he has not retreated anymore to help Chen Batian deal with the affairs of the family. The Chen family has completely grown in Dinghai City.
