Chapter 16: The Fall of Jiahe City

"Junior Shi Xuan understands, can the seniors provide us two with some exercises and spiritual skills? Now we are seriously lacking in these cultivation resources", Shi Xuan cheekily begged for some exercises and spiritual skills.

"The old man's cultivation path is not suitable for the two of you, you need to find your own opportunities, and in the future, the exercises created by others may not be suitable for you, and every strong person needs to open up their own path. Now that you are trapped in this endless mountain, you should one day go out of here and go to the mainland to find opportunities, as long as you are gifted, you can always meet your Bole", the man was not prepared to directly provide them with exercises and spiritual skills.

Shi Xuan was a little disappointed, but he was calm, as long as he could get out alive, what regrets would he have.

At this moment, the outside world had already become a pot of porridge, Zhu Ziming and the others successfully returned to Tianhaiyuan, and they told Su Li and other mentors and friends what happened on the mountain, and many people couldn't believe that the two of them were killed.

Everyone in the city felt the volcanic eruption, and the huge power could be clearly felt across many mountains, Jiahe City had already been chaotic during this time, and the open and secret battles of several major families were placed on the table, and the Shen family united with the leader of a powerful bandit in Jiahe City to attack the Wang family, I heard that even the ancestors of the Wang family who had been in retreat for many years came out of the mountain to sit in the town, but the Shen family thundered this time, and united the bandit leader to wash the Wang family in blood.

The city has long been chaotic, two families have fought fiercely, many streets and docks have been bloody, many civilians passing by have been implicated, and several university campuses have long been under martial law.

Originally, Tutor Su Li was going to go into the mountains to explore Shi Xuan and the others, and she couldn't let go of her beloved apprentice in her heart, but the situation in Jiahe City was tense, and she had to stay for the sake of the academy to deal with the changes. But she was ready to wait for the situation in the city to clear up and go to Stone Village to inform their parents, which was cruel but she had to do the same.

After several days of confrontation, Jiahe City was stormy. Even the previously neutral Lu family and the Cai family began to prepare to divide the fruits of victory, the three major families besieged the Wang family, and the entire Hongyan Ridge was shocked, and many merchants who were going to go here could only stay in the nearby Black Rock City and wait and see, and did not dare to come.

In the royal family of Jiahe City, at this moment, several pairs of centaurs are attacking frantically, and many mercenaries have also joined the battle, the scene is chaotic, battles break out everywhere, and many people who take advantage of the fire to rob also quickly take action.

On a square, several core figures of the Wang family were surrounded by a large team of people at this moment, and they were facing each other tensely at the moment.

"Wang Tianyuan, are you still fighting the trapped beasts? surrendering now can still save your dog's life, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless," a fierce bandit leader threatened.

"How much benefit the Shen family has given you, my Wang family can afford it," Wang Tianyuan said.

"Haven't you seen the situation clearly? Kill you, your Wang family's is ours," the head of the Shen family walked over gloomily.

"If a few of you want to swallow my Wang family, you are not afraid of choking to death", a sick old man walked out.

"Hey, who was I at that time, it turned out to be Wang Li's old thief, why aren't you dead? Since you are not dead, then I will give you a ride," said the bandit leader.

"The lackey who was killed by the old man back then and had no way to go to the sky didn't expect it to become the climate", Wang Li laughed at the bandit leader.

"Today is just the right time to avenge the revenge of the year, what are you waiting for?"

The two of them quickly shot at the Wang father and son, the power of the Tianmai Realm master was amazing, the violent aura swept away many thugs who were close to each other, many people quickly moved away from their battlefield, several people fought, many flowers and trees around fell in pieces, and the rest of the two families also killed each other.

Just when the battle situation between the two sides was scorching, two more teams of men and horses entered, and the shouts shook the sky.

"Such a grand event, how can I miss my Cai family?" A terrifying figure rushed into the battlefield, and then another figure came: "Brother Cai is so fast, I will almost fall behind if I leave a little late", the head of the Lu family rushed over with a spear in his hand.

"You two want to take advantage of the fire?" Wang Li said.

"Jiahe City has been calm for too long, it's time to shuffle."

"What Brother Cai said is very true."

"It turned out to be the senior brother of the Cai and Lu families, and it just so happened that the four of us divided his Wang family equally", the head of the Shen family saw the two teams of people who came.

"Is it really the death of my Wang family? I will pull you on your back even if I am broken bones", the Wang father and son fought desperately, and now there is no way out.

The war broke out again, although Wang Li was in the ninth order of the Tianmai realm, but his two fists were invincible to four hands, the Wang father and son were besieged and died tragically one after another, and the remnants of the Wang family were scattered, some surrendered to others, and the rest fled.

For several days, the city was full of hunting for the remnants of the Wang family, and people were terrified, and from time to time some people died.

In Tianhai Garden, many apprentices were uneasy, some people's families were implicated, they lost their families, and Liu Ming and Song Renjie were both saddened by the death of Shi Xuan and Yuan Caiwei.

"Xuanzi, he won't die so easily, he still has to help me forge the spirit armor, he promised", Liu Ming said sadly.

"Okay, let's mourn, people can't be resurrected after death," Song Renjie comforted.

Even ** and Du Ruofei and others felt incredible when they heard that the two of them were killed, and they could only lament the impermanence of the world.

Zhong Wei was alone forging metal next to the furnace and shouted: "Shi Xuan hurry up and join the refined copper calcination, be fast", but he suddenly found that no one responded for a long time, and he realized that the cute little guy was no longer there.

He stopped his hands and seemed to see a busy figure here earnestly forging metal, full of passion.

"After all, it's gone, I still want to teach him all my mastery", Zhong Wei was very disappointed, he hadn't met such a good seedling for many years......

This time Jiahe City can be said to be a natural disaster and man-made disasters, the situation is chaotic, several major families have stepped up to divide the legacy assets of the Wang family, and the sphere of influence around the entire Jiahe City has been reshuffled again, Stone Village was the jurisdiction of the Wang family before, this time the Wang family was divided by the rest of the forces, Stone Village is located in a remote and barren place, and several major families in the city are not eye-catching, and this place is occupied by the bandit leader.

The bandit leader made efforts to exterminate the former rival Wang family this time, and this time they rightfully inherited an asset of the Wang family, their base camp is not in the city, but rooted in the mountains, and the power is all over Hongyan Ridge, and the Cai family and the Lu family also have to be afraid of three points, as long as they do not hurt the core interests of several major families in the past, they often turn a blind eye.

This time, the bandits successfully stepped into Jiahe City with one foot, which was a thorn in the flesh for the other three.

In an elegant courtyard in the city, the head of the Cai family and the head of the Lu family are pushing the cup to the cup at the moment to celebrate the success of the distribution of the spoils.

"Brother Cai is really happy this time, this difficult bone of the Wang family has finally become the Chinese meal we are waiting for", the head of the Lu family happily poured the wine cup.

"It's too early to be happy, wiped out a Wang family, but came a more tricky thief Wei Wuliang, although this person is a thief, but the strength is really strong, that is, you and I alone may not be his opponent, this person was just a lackey of the Wang family in the early years, because he found a priceless phantom martial arts spirit stone in the Wang family's mine, he was greedy, tried to hide privately and was finally discovered by the Wang family, he was chased and killed by the people of the Wang family, became a homeless lackey, and finally died in a catastrophe, I don't know where he happened to have the ability to defy the sky, he successfully gathered more than a dozen bandit forces in Hongyan Ridge, and was a very difficult opponent, this person is ruthless and insatiable, and now he is trying to settle in Jiahe City and share it with us, but it is a little tricky", the head of the Cai family said with a sip of wine.

"Why don't you kill him while he's still on his feet?"

"Brother Lu doesn't know much about this person, he was able to escape from the hands of the Wang family back then, I heard that it was the Shen family who made a hindrance, and now he is the right-hand man invited by the Shen family to deal with the Wang family, if you want to deal with him, you still have to beware of the Shen family", the head of the Cai family told some secrets.

"It turned out that the Shen family was secretly making an obstruction, so the Shen family acquiesced to Wei Wuliang's entry into Jiahe City?"

"You and I have been friends for many years, and the entire Jiahe City knows that now that the Wang family is in the past, if the Shen family wants to compete with our two families, they naturally need helpers, and they are just using each other, Wei Wuliang is not a person who talks about friendship, he only has interests in his eyes", the head of the Cai family pointed out the stakes.

"It seems that there will be some tough battles to fight in the future, I really hope that he Wei Wuliang will not go too far, otherwise he will never be better", the head of the Lu family said cruelly.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time to find an opportunity, come and give me a drink to Brother Lu, don't talk about this, today is a day worth celebrating."

"Brother Cai" ......

Jiahe City has not become calm because of the collapse of the Wang family, the secret struggle of several major families is more dangerous, and now the bandit leader Wei Wuliang came to Jiahe City justifiably, which shocked countless villagers around, many villages have been robbed by bandits, these people have no bottom line, a little indisobedient to kill people and set fires, rape ** women, people hate these scum to the bone.

In the middle of the mountains, several of the Wang family's productive mines are now being forcibly seized by several major forces, and even the hard laborers in the mines are bought and sold like livestock, some of them foremen, bandit leaders even abduct young children everywhere, and sell them to the mines deep in the mountains, treating them like slaves, regardless of food and content, without any freedom, they have to carry out heavy labor every day, survive in those dark and dangerous mines, and if they resist a little, they will be beaten, and those with weak physical strength are even directly starved to death and buried on the spot, and this has become an extremely dark area, and every spiritual mine they dig is stained with blood and tears。

Several major families in Jiahe City can be said to be in a lot of blood debts, but they are like soil emperors here, no one dares to resist their will, and now there are natural disasters and man-made disasters here, just like a Shura field.

Among the mountains, the volcanic eruption has stopped for several days, the lava in the mountains has begun to solidify, but it is still steaming, the smoke and dust that cover the sky and the sun gradually dissipate, and the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles are covered with a layer of fly ash, although the volcano is cruel, but it has also brought a lot of wealth to the mercenaries of Jiahe City, the volcano will bring out many precious spiritual ores, these minerals are mostly fire attributes, good quality, and can be sold at a good price.

In the depths of the dark cave, Shi Xuan and Senior Sister are sitting on the side of the Sealing Spell Seal, the rich fire element here can quickly improve Shi Xuan's strength, he has the spirit gathering talisman given by the Academy, which further accelerates the concentration of aura, these days he has successfully touched the threshold of the eighth order of the Kaiyuan Realm, and now is a good time to break through.

Although Yuan Caiwei on the side couldn't practice with the help of fire aura, she quietly recuperated here and accompanied Shi Xuan to practice. At this moment, the aura in Shi Xuan's body was vigorous, and the full aura quickly rushed out of the dantian and hit the Taiyuan acupoint, an important big acupoint on his arms.

Shi Xuan highly concentrated his spiritual strength, carefully manipulated the energy to run in his body, and found the right time to accurately impact the energy into the Taiyuan acupoint, the Taiyuan acupoint on his arms lit up, and a powerful force arose, and the strength of his fists was once again bonus, and the abundant aura could make his battle more durable.

Seeing Shi Xuan's successful attack on the eighth order of the Kaiyuan Realm, Yuan Caiwei also smiled, you must know that his breakthrough this time has not been long since the last time, and this speed makes her senior sister, who has cultivated for a year, feel ashamed.

"How does it feel?"

"My whole body is full of tremendous power, I feel that now I can fight five Lin Song", Shi Xuan felt this abundant power.

"Lin Song, that unlucky guy, it's his bad luck to mess with you", Yuan Caiwei smiled.

"I'll consolidate my strength for two more days, we should be able to go out, with the strength of the two of us, the small magic circle that the seniors told us before should be able to urge", Shi Xuan was a little excited, if it weren't for the fact that the dry food was running out, he still wanted to continue to practice here for a while, he hadn't seen such an abundant fire spirit qi anywhere.

"Yes, everyone in the academy is probably worried about us, it's been so many days, I guess they all think we are dead here, I don't know if they told my parents, if my parents knew that I was killed, how sad they would be", suddenly thinking of this, Yuan Caiwei cried directly.

Shi Xuan was also very sad in his heart, if his father and mother knew that they were killed, they would probably be very sad.

At this moment, he didn't want to do so much, he carefully held Yuan Caiwei in his arms and comforted: "It's okay, as long as we can get out alive, everything will be fine."

Yuan Caiwei was like a little girl who loved to cry at the moment, her tears wet Shi Xuan's clothes, and it had been a long time......

Two days later, Shi Xuan completely consolidated the realm, adjusted his body, he carried Yuan Caiwei on his back, and began to go to a small magic circle in the square, this magic circle can teleport them out of here, the seniors in the light curtain have returned to calm at this moment, and there is no movement, and let the two of them make a heavy oath not to tell others about the situation here, otherwise they will be destroyed.

A small magic circle appeared in front of them, at this moment the magic circle was dim and dusty, Shi Xuan cleaned up, carefully observed the rune arrangement, the predecessors in the light curtain before told him the order of activating the runes between the two, the two carefully activated the ancient runes, for a while the magic circle was radiant, Shi Xuan stood at the core of the magic circle with his senior sister on his back, and the two of them urged the magic circle to run with all their might, they were in a trance, and the stars moved to the outside of the cave.

The magic circle almost sucked the two of them dry, this magic circle consumed a huge amount of energy, if Shi Xuan hadn't broken through to the eighth order, it was estimated that he would have hurt the origin.

Shi Xuan stood firm, observing the surrounding scene, trying to discern the direction.

"This is the Deadwood Cliff, I was the one who led those poisonous bees here that day", Shi Xuan was overjoyed, and finally did not teleport them to the unknown Nyxun.

"I guess it's also because of our low strength, otherwise it is estimated that it is possible to teleport us out of Hongyan Ridge", Yuan Caiwei was also secretly glad, after all, he was not skilled in using the teleportation circle for the first time.

At this moment, the two of them were not far from the volcano, and they looked at the majestic volcano and the scene after the molten lava solidified all over the mountain, and they were shocked to observe it so closely for the first time.

"Hey, you see there are people on the mountain over there, what are they looking for?" Yuan Caiwei suddenly saw someone not far away.

"I heard my dad say that every time a volcano erupts, it will spew out a lot of expensive fire attribute spirit ore, which is extremely valuable, and it is estimated that they are all mercenaries," Shi Xuan said.

"Aren't you also a fire attribute spirit master, let's look for some too, you will definitely be able to use it for forging in the future," Yuan Caiwei said.

"Well, that's what I mean."

The two of them carefully explored along the edge of the volcano, Yuan Caiwei sweated profusely under the heat, but did not flinch, carefully identifying the surrounding stones.

Their harvest was not bad, and they found extremely fast second-order Mithril and Ser Silver, as well as some refined copper and refined iron, all of which were some good forging spirit materials.

"Shi Xuan, take a look, that one over there", Yuan Caiwei pointed at his back.

Shi Xuan walked over and picked up a seemingly ordinary stone: "It's so heavy", he turned over the stone and observed, a dazzling spiritual light, Shi Xuan knocked open the wrapped stone skin, and a brilliant phantom martial spirit stone appeared in front of him.

"This is a good thing, this can quench the phantom martial spirit essence, it can greatly improve the quality of the spirit weapon, this is a very expensive spirit material, almost the best of the upper third order spirit materials, with the spirit weapon it forges, the power of the spirit weapon has increased dramatically", Shi Xuan couldn't put it down.

At this moment, a brutal mercenary came over, "Little brother, let my brother see what you have in your hand."

Shi Xuan turned around and looked at the person in front of him, this person was not a good stubble at first glance, "This is what we found."

"I can trade you for gold," the man said.

"How much do you offer?"

"How about giving you fifty gold?"

"My master told me that this Phantom Martial Crystal is worth at least a thousand gold, you don't want to get me, if you want to exchange, give me a thousand gold", Shi Xuan saw through the other party's lie.

"Boy, recognize the situation, give you fifty gold, that's pity for you, see that you are still carrying a cripple on your back, provoke me to push the two of you off the dead wood cliff, and there will be no corpses", the man's eyes showed a fierce light, and he forced towards Shi Xuan and the others.

Shi Xuan couldn't figure out the strength of this person and didn't dare to make an easy move, and retreated to the edge of the deadwood cliff.

"Go on, see where you can run?" the man drew a large silver knife and approached him.

Shi Xuan put Yuan Caiwei down, showed out the fine bronze fist gloves, and beware of it.

"Yo, are you still a practitioner, but you are unlucky to meet me", the man raised his knife and slashed, his body was extremely fast, Shi Xuan jumped and dodged and was ready to counterattack at any time, the man couldn't hit it with a blow, and slashed again, Shi Xuan observed this person's strength one after another, and it could be concluded that he had not yet reached the Xuandan Realm, at most the ninth order of the Kaiyuan Realm, with confidence, Shi Xuan was not dodging.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was not retreating, "Do you finally recognize the situation?

"Why should I die if I live well, it's better for you to die if you want to die", Shi Xuan began to take the initiative to attack, his whole body emitted firelight, and the terrifying power of his fists gathered towards the man with a fierce attack, the two sides fought with fire, the other party was mixed in the mountains all the year round, with rich combat experience, and his strength was not weak, although he was a little surprised by Shi Xuan's strength, but he was still not surprised, he was a strong strength swordsman in close combat, his strength was strong, and the mages of the same level were very afraid of him.

"What an unexpected guy, it's your ability to take these knives from Lao Tzu, and then you can die, as for the beauty, I will take care of it for you", the man was not tempted, and began to prepare a killing move.

"Seven Kills of Rage", the man shouted, his whole body exuded terrifying power, and a powerful seven-style killing move was formed in an instant, which was impossible to prevent and powerful, Shi Xuan ran the exercises with all his might, and the powerful fire spirit quickly gathered, and the huge fire spirit shield was formed, resisting his seven-style sword technique in all directions.





There were seven loud bangs, the fire was shining, the man's snowy knife was shaken away, and the tiger's mouth was bleeding directly, but Shi Xuan's strong defense was not hurt at all, and Yuan Caiwei on the side was about to help, and saw that Shi Xuan was okay so he didn't make a move.

The man was shocked, "This can't be?"

"Kick it to the iron plate, you don't do this kind of thing on weekdays, do you? Die thief", Shi Xuan was furious.

The huge flame shackles instantly bound the man, Shi Xuan jumped up violently, jumped to the front, and hit him directly through his chest with a heavy punch, blood gushed out for a while, and the man died violently on the spot.

Where could Yuan Caiwei on the side stand such a bloody scene, hiding her face and vomiting, Shi Xuan searched for the man's things and seized all the spirit mines he obtained. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Caiwei was about to burst into tears, Shi Xuan wiped away the blood and kicked the man off the cliff with one kick.

"It's okay, he is looking for death by himself, and he can't complain about us, it is estimated that there are not a few people who died in his hands", Shi Xuan comforted Yuan Caiwei and said, after all, this is the first time they have killed people, and it is still very different from hunting spirit beasts before.

It took a long time for Yuan Caiwei's face to improve, "Why are these people so greedy, they can do it for a piece of spiritual material."

"This world is like this, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, we want to kill people and sell more goods when we have what they want, what they didn't expect is that hunters can also become prey", Shi Xuan deeply realized the sinister nature of this world.

"Do you say, is this the world full of people like this?" asked Yuan Caiwei.

"Not really, I believe that there are always some righteous forces in this world, they have never given up on upholding justice in the world, even in the darkest times, people like those predecessors in the cave will be born", Shi Xuan thought a lot.

"Then will our Shi Xuan become such a person in the future?" Yuan Caiwei said as she looked at Shi Xuan.

"It is my lifelong dream to uphold justice in the world, unless I die, all darkness is my enemy", Shi Xuan said categorically, he thought of too many injustices, thought of his bullied relatives, and thought of the trials that the men in the cave had given him.

"I'm not as great as you, I just want my relatives to live well and have a happy life", Yuan Caiwei looks forward to the future life.

"This is also my dream, but it's a pity that this kind of life is too idealistic, there is always too much darkness in the world, as long as we are not strong enough, it is difficult to protect the people we care about", Shi Xuan sighed.

Yuan Caiwei listened carefully to Shi Xuan's story, and felt something in her heart: "Shi Xuan, no matter what danger there is in the future, you promise me that I must live well", she looked at Shi Xuan gently and peacefully.

Shi Xuan also felt this gaze, "I promise you, you too."

Shi Xuan carried Yuan Caiwei all the way along the ridge to Jiahe City, and the surging Jiahe River flowed into the distance under the cliff.
