Chapter 022 - The City of Innocence (2)
The gate was old and heavy, and while it was slowly pushed open, it emitted an ugly sound that was unique to the rusted door shaft and the hard rolling and rubbing!
In the deathly silent darkness, looking at this extremely strange scene, Qi Xiaoqi only felt that his palms were sweating, and his breathing was about to stop his general nervousness......
Dyeing clothes and carrying a sword in front of Chu Tianchen, staring intently at the open city gate, as if a fierce ghost beast would burst out immediately in the next moment!
After all, just now, even Chu Tianchen, no one in the group noticed any noise in the city, how could it be ...... at this time
The sound of heavy and short breathing sounded first from the crack in the city gate, and then a black figure faltered, moving with great difficulty from the gap and breaking free from it.
But the man's movements were really clumsy, and it was very weird, and he didn't stand firm and actually fell to the ground with a 'bang', and snorted secretly......
"It's human!"
Although Chu Xichen was nervous, he didn't have the cold sweat like Qi Xiaoqi, and when he saw the man humming his voice, his heart was put down!
"Who, who's there?"
The man who fell to the ground heard someone talking and struggled to get up, but finally fell down again because of his physical strength, and roared again
“…… Speak! ”
Dye Yi glanced back at Chu Tianchen and saw that Chu Tianchen did not give too many instructions.
Only then did he walk up to the man, and the bloody breath on the tip of his nose became more and more intense!
"I knew I knew I couldn't escape...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha......"
The man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy, but the laughter was in his ears, and he was more unwilling to be angry!
When the dyed clothes got closer, I got a rough idea of the person's clothes!
Black narrow-sleeved suit, a blood-stained black-handled sword in his hand, but the scabbard has long been lost to the unknown......
I can't see my face clearly with blood stains, only those eyes, but they look particularly bright in the dark night!
"Do it, even if you don't chase me, I won't live long! Just ......"
That person's gaze suddenly drifted to the water area facing the city gate, which was the direction where Chu Tianchen and the others came!
"Who are you? Why was he so badly injured that he had to go out of town late at night? ”
Dye Yi asked the key question, "Look at your appearance, but do you want to leave by boat?" ”
The man's body trembled, and his eyes carefully looked at Chu Tianchen and the others.
I saw that all of them looked unearthly, and they had the demeanor of a famous person from the immortal family, especially the sword in the hand of dyeing clothes, although it was not unsheathed, but the extraordinary aura that only people in the Xuanmen could sense was seen by him!
So he opened his mouth and asked, "Everyone...... Not someone there? ”
"People there?"
Chu Tianchen approached and continued, "Say it clearly!" ”
The man sat on the ground and looked up at Chu Tianchen, but when he saw that this person's voice was cold and his posture was dusty, it was very different from the faces of those devils!
"You are...... Are you going into the city? ”
"If we want to go north, Wufu City is the only way to go, so naturally we have to enter the city!" Dye said!
"No...... Don't go in, go and leave! The man's face was suddenly full of horror, and he tried to struggle to his feet, but fell back without surprise.
An even stronger smell of blood hit his mouth and nose, causing Qi Xiaoqi to feel sick.
But before she could really spit it out, her eyes suddenly widened, and she screamed and found that the person had only one leg......
And in the other trouser tube that seemed to have been torn into rags by something, there was only a 'leg' with a little white bone attached to it!
Qi Xiaoqi's scream attracted Chu Tianchen's attention.
Then he pulled Qi Xiaoqi's arm, brought her to his side, and whispered
"Stay there and don't make any more noise!"
Qi Xiaoqi was like grabbing a life-saving straw, tightly grasping Chu Tianchen's long sleeves, biting his lip and nodding again and again!
Chu Xichen's heart was empty when he saw this, and he thought that after all, his brother's spiritual power was profound, and Xiaoqi was safer by his side......
Don't think about it anymore!
"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm hurting ......"
The man gasped and paused, and continued, "My injuries are all the work of the beast in the city, and my leg has also gone into its belly, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible, and never enter the city!" ”
"Then you can tell me, what is so powerful that it can eat people?" Chu Xichen said strangely!
"It's a cat, a big, big cat!" The man's voice was excited!
"Cats?"
Qi Xiaoqi couldn't help but open his mouth, "Big brother, how big can a cat eat people?" ”
"It's no ordinary cat, it's a demonized monster. There are already many people in the city who have been eaten by the demon cat, and even ...... Even in my Lingyun Pavilion, dozens of disciples have lost their lives......"
At this point, the man began to weep in a low voice!
"Lingyun Pavilion?" Chu Tianchen asked
"You are a disciple of Lingyun Pavilion?"
"Exactly!"
Chu Tianchen frowned slightly, it seems that it is a tricky matter!
Lingyun Pavilion is the Immortal Cultivation Sect with the highest strength and prestige in Wuyun City.
Of course, it is incomparable with the five great families, and speaking of this Lingyun Pavilion, it has some relationship with the Xiaoyao Palace.
It is said that many years ago, the pavilion master of this Lingyun Pavilion was still a disciple of the Emperor of the Xiaoyao Palace, but because his distracting thoughts were too heavy and he had no intention of cultivating, he was later expelled from the sect!
And there was nowhere to go, so he established such a small sect in Wufu City!
In the name of the disciples of the Xiaoyao Palace, he has also accepted many disciples, and after a long time, he has become a small fairy gate that protects the safety of a city!
"Lingyun Pavilion's Pavilion Master, can't you subdue that cat demon?" Chu Tianchen asked!
"Our Pavilion Master...... It's dead! ”
The man said sadly: "Just two days ago, the pavilion master led all the disciples to prepare to fight with the demon and the cat demon. But don't talk about being desperate, even the cat demon's body can't get close, and I watched my brothers being dismantled and eaten by that beast......"
"So, you were the only one who escaped? Have all the people of the city been killed? Dye asked!
"Many people have been killed, and now they are closed to keep their homes safe for the time being. And I, the Pavilion Master, ordered me to try my best to escape from the city, and I must cross this body of water to go to the Xiaoyao Palace for help. Presumably, only the Venerable of the Xiaoyao Palace can save the lives of the people in the city! ”
"The Emperor of the Easy Palace?" Chu Xichen looked at Chu Tianchen with a slight smile and said
"Brother, it looks like it's really time for us to come!"
Qi Xiaoqi gave Chu Xichen a big roll of his eyes in his heart, and said secretly
'This fool, haven't you heard that the heart of defense is indispensable? Besides, it's so dangerous, let's not be stupid, what kind of personal heroism is there? ’
