Chapter 711: Lingxuan City
The north of the True Soul Continent.
The border of the Xuanwu Empire, outside Lingxuan City.
At this time, a strange group of 'humans' is gathering here, more than 60,000 people.
Lingxuan City is a third-level city on the border of the Xuanwu Empire. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a city like this on the border, at most it's just a small town. But according to legend, it was in this city that the Xuanwu Divine Beast first appeared. At that time, it was just a small town.
By this time the gates were closed, and the walls were full of soldiers. The soldiers trembled one by one, and it was clear that they were scared at this time.
The officials all learned about the demon invasion of the mainland, but they were afraid that the news would cause panic among the people, so the news was suppressed and not announced.
Although these city guards didn't know what the other party's 60,000 troops were, they knew at a glance that the murderous appearance was not good.
At this time, the city guard came to the city wall and shouted downward, "Who are you? At this very moment, Lingxuan City does not welcome a large group of people to enter, please leave quickly." ”
Demon Emperor Thatir looked at the city guard with contempt, and said, "Open the city gate and surrender, and swear allegiance to the emperor!
"Arrogant! Archers ready to attack!" said the captain of the city guard angrily.
The Demon Emperor glanced at him, and then flew directly into the air. Dark clouds gathered in the sky. A huge palm was formed, which contained countless undead spirits, and surged directly towards the city walls. The guards defending the city hurriedly released their arrows. However, the arrow that shot out stopped at the same time five meters in front of the Demon Emperor.
The next moment, the undead swept through the city walls. The screams rose one after another, and when the undead returned to the dark clouds, the guards on the city walls fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, not knowing what had happened.
The Demon Emperor returned to the ground, and several Ghostface soldiers came to the city, one by one. The tall gates fell in an instant. He slammed to the ground.
The army of 60,000 men entered the city directly and went straight to the city lord's mansion. The city was already on guard. People are hiding in their homes with their doors locked for fear of causing trouble. At this time, the guards and soldiers in the city rushed in this direction.
The number of soldiers is not small, at least about a thousand. But what can this strongest soldier who is only a sect-rank soldier do? More than a dozen Emperor-level Ghost Face Clan soldiers were killed all the way, and none of the soldiers in the city were spared, losing their lives.
The Demon Emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all, he thought that it would be considered merciful if he didn't slaughter the city. When they came to the City Lord's Mansion, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion raised their weapons one after another, but their small arms could not twist their thighs, and such guards posed no threat to the Ghost Face Clan warriors.
The city lord finally came to the road at this time, and he was a white-haired old man, about white years old, but he was just an ordinary person.
"Stop!" Seeing the demon soldiers slaughtering the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord directly shouted.
"Who are you?"
"You're the city lord, I'm the Demon Emperor Thatcher! You only need to answer me one question. Surrender or death?" said the Demon Emperor coldly.
"Demons, you are demons!" the old man recognized the identity of the other party, and his eyes showed surprise.
"Swear allegiance to this emperor and spare you from dying! Don't challenge patience. Thatcher frowned.
Hearing Thatchir's words, the old man was not afraid, and said: "Our Lingxuan City is blessed by the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and it is not for you demons to rule. Even if I die, I won't hand over Lingxuan City to you demons. ”
"Then you don't need to live!"
The next moment, the old man slowly fell to the ground. A hole appeared in his chest, only the thickness of a finger. The old city lord gradually lost his life.
The Demon Emperor said to his subordinates: "Hang this old man in the square, and then order to go down and gather all the humans in the city to the square." ”
"Yes!" the two Ghostface soldiers replied, and then went down to order.
The Demon Emperor shook his hand and looked into the air. His eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
............
On the fortress, Lin Xuan and the others had been cultivating for two days. Lin Xuan was the last to finish.
Nalan Rong stepped forward and said, "Lin Xuan, it's been two days. With the speed of those demon guys, I'm afraid that the city has already been killed!"
"Teacher, give me the map!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
Taking the map handed over by Nalan Rong, Lin Xuan carefully observed it.
Then he pointed to a few points on the map and said seriously: "Here, this is the forest they crossed, and if you follow this route all the way, it should be near here." ”
"Lingxuan City, this city is very famous in the Xuanwu Empire. Legend has it that the Xuanwu Divine Beast appeared in this city. If the demons come here, I'm afraid this Lingxuan City is really in danger. The Demon Emperor's order must be to slaughter the city!" Shi Wuxian analyzed.
Lin Xuan shook his head: "No, the Demon Emperor can only control Lingxuan City at most." He didn't have any troops at his disposal now, and it would be a long time to slaughter the city, and it would be much easier to control the city. But those who resist will definitely be poisoned!"
"So what do we do now?" Shi Wuxian asked.
"Hehe, what else can I do? The powerhouses above the Holy Rank should gather immediately!" Lin Xuan said in a loud voice.
Immediately afterwards, the strong men in the fortress gathered under the fortress. In the past two days, there have been more Saint-level powerhouses coming one after another. The number of Saint-level powerhouses has reached more than six hundred. In this way, it is a whole thousand in total. Although it is much less than the 60,000 of the demons, it is at least capable of fighting.
Looking at this team of people, Lin Xuan was full of confidence.
"Lingxuan City! The demons have now arrived in Lingxuan City. Then it's time to enter the human settlement. When the time comes, it will be quite unfavorable for us to fight. So, be sure to keep them all at the border. Now that everyone is standing, I will take you along for some distance. Strive to reach Lingxuan City as soon as possible. After Lin Xuan finished speaking, the martial soul possessed his body.
Lin Xuan was instantly shrouded in silver, and the teleportation of a thousand people was definitely a considerable burden for Lin Xuan. But now, that's all it can be.
The spatial energy instantly wrapped thousands of people, and in order to keep Lin Xuan in his combat power, Xiao Qi Lin Yao and the others came to Lin Xuan's surroundings separately to assist Lin Xuan in teleporting.
Lin Xuan's pressure was greatly reduced in an instant, and Lin Xuan didn't say a word, and disappeared directly in place with the thousand people. Lin Xuan left Shi Lei here and told the strong people who went here to rush to Lingxuan City to gather as soon as possible.
The transmission of such a large number of people takes a long time, but the efficiency is definitely very fast. And it can also ensure the physical strength of the strong.
Three hours later, the troops stopped.
Lin Xuan opened the map and wiped the sweat from his head. Took a look at where it is now. Seriously: "It's only ten kilometers." I took a break, and then we leaned over together. Lin Yao, you go and investigate first. Then come back as soon as possible!"
"Okay, father!" Lin Yao picked up the map, and then quickly disappeared in place.
Lin Xuan rested on the spot, and everyone waited in place, waiting for Lin Yao to bring back the news.
............
Lin Yao's arrival in Lingxuan City was already bloody. The corpse of an old man hangs in the square. And the square is also a Shura hell. At least a few hundred people died here. The Demon King of Saff was holding a roll call and counting names.
"Jomeron!
A man with a gloomy face walked out of the crowd.
The Demon King said, "Swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Demon Emperor. ”
"@%¥......#**&@!#¥%%......" The man sent a greeting directly to the Demon King of Saff.
"Damn, give me death!" the Saph Demon King was furious, and black energy instantly shot into the man's body. The man's body exploded in an instant.
Zaf then read the order book. Call the next person's name. Those who swear Xiao allegiance will continue to live, and those who would rather die than give in will be killed immediately.
Lin Yao naturally knew the urgency of the matter. No longer stayed, disappeared directly in place, and returned to the place where Lin Xuan stayed.
Return to the team and find Lin Xuan directly.
"Father, the demon army is indeed in Lingxuan City now. ”
"Oh?"
"However, the situation is not very good!" Lin Yao said helplessly.
"How bad, how many dead and wounded, the demon clan didn't slaughter the city, right?" Lin Xuan said solemnly.
"Although the city was not slaughtered, hundreds of people were killed and wounded. Those who are unwilling to swear allegiance to the demons will be executed immediately. Harsh very. ”
"Are the demon forces all in the city now?" Lin Xuan said seriously.
"Well, they are all gathered together in the city. If it's better outside the city, we can raid in and kill some first. But if we're all in the city, we'll have to worry about it. If the Demon Emperor threatens us with the lives of the people in the city, I'm afraid it will ......," Lin Yao said seriously.
Lin Xuan got up and said to the thousand-strong troops: "Okay, now it can be determined that the sixty-thousand-strong troops of the Demon Clan are in Lingxuan City. But the people of Lingxuan City are all here, and now the demon troops are all in the city, what do you think?"
Zhuge Yun stepped forward and said: "To achieve great things, there will inevitably be sacrifices. This sacrifice is inevitable. The people of Lingxuan City will not die in vain. If you let the demons control it and enter the interior of the continent, I'm afraid that more humans will lose your lives. ”
Shi Wuxian walked out and said directly: "I suggest sending a small number of strong people to harass them." Draw out some and kill some. Until they send people out to annihilate us, then we can lure them away from Xuanling City. Even if that doesn't work, we'll have to think of something else. That Xuanling City has at least 30,000 people, if they are all implicated, isn't it ......"
Zhuge Yun snorted coldly: "Woman's benevolence, how much time will this waste? What if the demon clan says that he can't die? What will happen when the time comes?"
Shi Wuxian didn't care what Zhuge Yun said, but looked at Lin Xuan: "Lin Alliance Master, everything has to be decided by you!
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If the method said by the Stone Hall Master can work, let's try it first!" After speaking, his eyes became colder, and he continued: "If it doesn't work, then you can only choose to sacrifice a part." ”
Lin Xuan knew the current form, although excessive kindness was responsible for the people of Xuanling City, it was irresponsible for the entire True Soul Continent. When it comes to the time, Lin Xuan will definitely be ruthless, and he must be ruthless.
Zhuge Yun said helplessly: "Since the alliance leader has decided so, there is no way. You just have it. ”
Lin Xuan said seriously: "Okay, let's feel around Lingxuan City first." Shielding yourself from your breath when you set off, the Demon Emperor's nose is very sensitive!"
So, everyone went on the road together and walked in the direction of Lingxuan City.
The atmosphere is more depressing, but this can't be helped. The elite of the demon race is about to meet them, not to mention the number of 60,000, the terrifying strength of the Demon Emperor alone is enough to make these top powerhouses on the continent feel nervous. The legends handed down from ancient times, they have all heard of them.
And Lin Xuan was thinking about who to send to harass and attack. Without a good arrangement, if you are caught by the Demon Emperor, it will be dangerous.
Ten kilometers is not a burden on the team's legs. Soon, everyone came to the woods outside Lingxuan City.
