Volume 1 Xuantian Continent Chapter 25 The City Lord's Gift

At this time, on the main hall of Luomen, the influential figures of Cangyun City gathered, and even Zhuang Qingyu, the city lord who rarely appeared in Cangyun City, also came to Luomen at this time.

Zhuang Qingyu is about fifty years old, with a square face, upright facial features, a serious demeanor, and his beard is already a little gray. He was wearing a purple python-patterned brocade robe, a silver brocade belt around his waist, and a jade crystal clear. At this moment, Zhuang Qingyu was sitting on the main seat, looking at everyone, and said: "Zhuang Mou came back from the main city last night, and heard from his subordinates that the demon clan had set up an ambush in Ziyun Mountain and wanted to attack the martial artists of the 'Xuantian Academy', but fortunately they were repelled and killed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

He paused, and then said, "I have invited all of you here today, first, to visit the injured, and secondly, to express my gratitude to you. In this war with the demons, all the sects and families in my Cangyuan City were able to work together to resist the attack of the demons, especially the "Xuantian Academy" and Luomen in order to repel the demons this time, although they were seriously injured, they still resisted, and finally repelled the demons, so that my Cangyuan City did not suffer from the misery of life. Zhuang thanked everyone here. ”

With that, he stood up and bowed his hand to greet everyone.

The reason why Zhuang Qingyu came to thank him so solemnly was because Cangyuan City had been invaded by the demon clan fifty years ago. The demons who live in the northernmost cold place of the Xuantian Continent have always coveted the sunny land where the human race lives, and for thousands of years, they have launched several wars just to seize the land of survival. The bloody catastrophe fifty years ago is still fresh in the memory of many elderly people, including Zhuang Qingyu.

At that time, Zhuang Qingyu was only a child of three or four years old, and he saw his parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends being slaughtered, and even the infant baby fell in a pool of blood. The picture of rivers of blood flowing and corpses all over the ground is vivid, who dares to forget?

He knew very well that if it weren't for the martial artists of the "Xuantian Academy" and the people of Luomen desperately resisting the attack of the demon clan, then Cangyuan City would most likely suffer the catastrophe of fifty years ago again. It was precisely because of this that he was sincerely grateful to the "Xuantian Academy" and the Luo Clan, as well as the various sects and factions that rushed to Ziyun Mountain to retreat together after receiving the signal.

Seeing that the city lord was so sincere, everyone in the hall also stood up and bowed their hands.

After everyone sat down, Zhuang Qingyu looked at Jian Dongyang and asked with concern: "Mr. Jian, are you feeling better?" I heard that this time, Mr. Jian did not hesitate to consume his life to release the magic weapon and help the Terran race win the time for the arrival of reinforcements, so that the Terran finally won the victory. Zhuang was really moved. ”

Jian Dongyang replied with a smile: "The city lord of Zhuang is too famous, Jian Mou just did what he did, Jian Mou's body is fine, and the city lord Zhuang does not have to worry." ”

Zhuang Qingyu nodded, looked at Luoyang, the head of the Luo family, and said: "Lord Luomen, I heard that this battle with the demon clan has caused heavy losses to Luomen, but Luomen is not afraid of strong enemies and fights to the end with the demons who are several times our size, which shows the spirit of my Cangyuan City warriors who know the difficulties, which really makes Zhuang admire." ”

Hearing this, Luoyang hurriedly surrendered his hand and said, "Don't dare to be." Since I am the martial arts of Cangyuan City, I will do my duty as a warrior and swear to protect Cangyuan City. ”

Zhuang Qingyu nodded frequently, and said with relief: "That's right, Lord Luomen, Zhuang remembers that there are a few days before the day of Luomenebi, right?"

Luo Yang nodded, but his heart was a little gloomy. This battle with the demon clan has lost a lot of inner disciples, and there are many arrogant ones. And the other disciples who went to the mountain were injured, and I am afraid that Nebi will also be delayed.

Just when Luoyang lost his mind and thought, Zhuang Qingyu raised his voice and said: "This time I went to the main city, the lord of the country rewarded Zhuang with a certain piece of ice crystal chalcedony, Zhuang borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and transferred this ice crystal chalcedony to Luomen, as a reward for the first place in Luomeneibi, how about it?"

Hearing this, Luoyang's expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, and the heads and elders of other sects also cast envious glances at Luoyang.

Luoyang hurriedly got up and said: "City Lord Zhuang, don't do it, this thing is too valuable, Shu Luo can't obey his fate." ”

I saw Zhuang Qingyu wave his hand and said, "Lord Luomen doesn't need to say it, this matter is decided." I have announced this before all of you, and there is no reason to take it back. ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone and said in a loud voice: "To get back to the point, Zhuang Mou summoned you here this time to discuss with everyone how to ensure that the opening of the 'Xuantian Secret Realm' that is less than half a year away can be smooth. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xingyun Villa owner Xing Aotian and asked, "What is the high opinion of Xing Zhuang owner?"

I saw Xing Aotian get up and said: "The smooth opening of the 'Xuantian Secret Realm' is not only a matter of Luomen and the 'Xuantian Academy', it is related to the rise and fall of the human race in the entire Xuantian Continent, and we will not stand idly by." I propose that each sect, faction, and family send an elder and 500 disciples to patrol the entrance of the 'Innate Secret Realm' for a hundred miles from tomorrow until the 'Xuantian Secret Realm' opens. The 'Xuantian Academy' suffered huge losses in fighting with Luomen and the Demon Clan, so I don't want to participate this time. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingyu nodded and said, "I think the proposal of the owner of the village is very good, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Luoyang spoke: "Thank you for your concern, although Luomen has lost many disciples this time, but as the owner of Xingzhuang said, the opening of the 'Xuantian Secret Realm' this time is very important, and I Luomen must not stand idly by." ”

Jian Dongyang also nodded, and said: "I have already revised this matter and sent someone back to the 'Xuantian Academy' to hand over to the dean, I believe that the academy will send someone to come in less than ten days." ”

Seeing this, Zhuang Qingyu said with great relief: "It is really a blessing for my human race that everyone understands the righteousness so well. All of you are so united that tomorrow I will send a thousand soldiers to your aid. ”

In this way, after agreeing on the countermeasures, everyone exchanged a few more words of greeting and left.

After everyone left, Luoyang and the elders stayed behind to discuss the matter of Luomen. Luoyang looked at the elders and said in a deep voice: "This time, I, Luomen, suffered heavy losses in the battle between Ziyun Mountain and the Demon Clan, and my vitality was greatly damaged. ”

Great Elder Luo Zhongwen also sighed and said, "Yes, I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down for a while." ”

Second Elder Luo Zhongtao pondered for a moment and said, "Now the plan for the present is to recruit more disciples to strengthen my Luomen. ”

As he spoke, a lean man stepped into the main hall.

This man was wearing a navy blue robe, with a crown of green clouds on his head, and he had a long face, eyebrows like knife cuts, shrewd eyes, and a calculating expression on his expression, which made it difficult to get close.

The man walked in, saw everyone, and grinned, "The head of the family, all the elders are here." ”

When Luoyang saw the visitor, he couldn't help frowning, and then said, "Second brother, you're back." ”

The person who came was the son of the second old Luo Zhongtao, Luo Zhongda's father, Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng is in charge of the Luo family's industry, and the entire Luo family's expenses are taken care of by Luo Cheng, and it can also be said that he controls the Luo family's financial power.

Third Elder Luo Zhongwu was a little surprised when he saw Luo Cheng, and asked, "Luo Cheng, why did you come back without a report?"

However, all sects have their own regulations, and all foreign stewards must perform their own duties, and without the order of the head of the family, they must not leave their posts without permission and return to the sect on their own. At this time, Luo Cheng returned to Luomen directly without the consent of the mound, which was really inappropriate. It's no wonder that Luoyang was displeased when he saw Luo Cheng who came back.

Hearing Luo Zhongwu ask himself like this, and seeing Luoyang's face so unhappy, Luo Cheng's eyes rolled, and he said: "I received news that Luomen and the demon clan fought fiercely in Ziyun Mountain and suffered heavy losses. ”

When Luoyang heard this, his face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Second brother, since you are back, let's sit down and discuss the future." ”

Luo Cheng nodded and sat down swaggeringly.

Luo Zhong glanced at Luo Cheng and snorted rather unhappily. Luo Cheng naturally saw the fourth uncle's unhappiness, but he only touched his nose and pretended not to see it.

Luo Yang was thinking about the inspection of the "Xuantian Secret Realm" in his heart, and he did not worry about Luo Cheng, but discussed the next many matters with the elders.

After about a meal, he spoke: "Then this time the Nabi of Luomen will be postponed for the time being, and then we will discuss it when all the things in the door are dealt with." ”

All the elders nodded one after another, but only Luo Cheng's face was dark, as if he was thoughtful.

At this time, Luo Fengda was leisurely drinking tea in the room, and he didn't take the fact that Luo Men was defeated by the demon clan on Ziyun Mountain, and as for Luo Men's casualties, it seemed that they had nothing to do with him.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and walked in, it turned out to be the entourage sent by Luo Fengda to investigate how Feng Chen and Gai Yan met. When Luo Fengda saw him come back, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "How is the matter going?"

I only heard the retinue reply, "Young master, I went to the village you told me. It was now overgrown with grass and ruins, and there was not even half a human figure. I searched all the surrounding villages and found someone who had seen the events of the day. He told me that he had gone to the mountain to collect medicine that day, as usual, and when he came down, he suddenly saw the village below the mountain in flames, and heard shouts and cries. Because all the villages had been looted by bandits at that time, he expected that the villages below the mountain had also been robbed by bandits. He had wanted to bypass the village so as not to be implicated, but the two villages were too close to each other. As he passed by, he saw two teenagers fighting with the bandits, and he was so scared that he ran away from a distance......"

"You mean, Luo Fengchen and that kid named Gai Yan are the boys who fought with the bandits?" Luo Fengda asked.
