The Holy Spirit Realm, the Burning Sun Continent, the Sealed Demon City.

The Sealed Demon City is a huge city made of stone, and when most of the houses are repaired externally, there is very little wood used, which is only because there are very few trees growing within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the Sealed Demon City, and the surrounding area is flat, and the visibility is excellent.

However, after the completion of the Stone City, people transplanted many colorful trees from all over the city to decorate the city with many vivid colors, so that the city would not look thin and desolate.

At this time, in the Sealed Demon City, the clean and wide streets were sparsely populated, the doors of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, the whole city seemed to have been under martial law, only a team of guards and soldiers of the Wood Spirit Clan patrolled back and forth on the large and small roads, the wind blew through the closed shop doors next to the street, and I don't know what material the door curtain made occasionally made a subtle sound of 'da-da-da', and the city was a scene of slaughter.

Since not long ago, it is said that there has been an unknown suspected epidemic outbreak in various places, and the city gate has been blocked, and it is difficult for foreign merchants to enter the city half a step, in fact, there are no people from other places at all, and the residents of this city have also been told by the guards not to go out as much as possible.

The inhabitants of all ethnic groups on the Flame Continent are almost all cultivating spiritual power, if it is not for the fire or broken muscles and bones, ordinary diseases are very rare, just because spiritual cultivation can protect the body from any external harm. But I didn't expect that this time it was a virus for no reason that made people die when they were infected, and no matter how powerful your spirit is, you can't resist an inexplicable death. In the end, people were panicked and everyone was in danger; Therefore, everyone chooses to cultivate themselves at home unless necessary, but these are only heard......

Without the hustle and bustle of the past, the work of the guards in the city can be said to have been drastically reduced, and most of the guards patrolled back and forth in addition to standing guard on a daily basis. Not to mention that the streets of the city are empty, and there is not even a shadow of a person outside the city, so every guard is frightened, and he is empty and lonely day after day.

On this day, as usual, on the stone city wall, there were many Wood Spirit Clan guards lined up, all the sentry posts facing the outside of the city, staring at the empty plain ahead, except for the road on the ground, there was sparse and sparse dwarf vegetation, and in the distance there was a large river slowly flowing eastward.

The sky was breezy and the clouds were lazily floating, and it was a very ordinary and comfortable morning, but now it was a boring emptiness; The occasional flying bird on the surface of the Yanbo River could make each guard's eyebrows jump, and their eyes lingered for a long time, until the birds disappeared from their field of vision again, and everyone's hearts were lonely.

Since the beginning of the incident, I have received terrible news from someone here, and there have been fewer and fewer people who have come to the Sealed Demon City in the future, but everyone who has come here has passed the same terrible news. Now that the Sealed Demon City has not received any more news from the world outside the city wall for a long time, people can't help but wonder if the outside world has died? The people of his own city are the only living people in this world?

Such thoughts soon spread in the city, and everyone's hearts spread rapidly, and with it, everyone's hearts were full of homesickness! At this moment, everyone wants to go home and see if their hometown is okay? The news spread so terrifyingly, everyone was thinking in their hearts that even if they were going to die, if they could return to their hometown to return to their roots, it would be a sight to behold, after all, the tree is a hundred feet high, and the fallen leaves return to their roots; Such an idea is the same everywhere.

In the palace of the central city lord of the Sealed Demon City, it seemed that everything was as usual, the soldiers guarded the main roads of the pavilion and hall, and occasionally a few hurried Wood Spirit Clansmen were running on the palace avenue, the only difference was that Mu Tianchuan, the city lord of the Sealed Demon City, who was supposed to be always meditating hard, was now pacing anxiously back and forth in the hall of a palace.

"Someone's coming!" Mu Tianchuan walked back and forth for a moment, then suddenly stopped and shouted towards the outside of the hall.

Hearing the call of the city lord, two armored guards who were on duty outside the hall immediately ran into the hall, and when they saw that they had just crossed the threshold, they clasped their fists with both hands, bent over and said respectfully: "The last general, what does His Royal Highness the city lord command?" ”

"Has the person sent to inquire about the Wood Spirit Territory returned?" Mu Tianchuan asked impatiently.

I saw the two guards secretly glance at each other, and one of them bent down and replied: "Your Highness Qiqi, the post envoy sent out has only been away for two days, and at this moment, I am afraid that there are still six or seven days away from the border of the Wood Spirit Clan, right?" ”

After hearing this, Mu Tianchuan was slightly stunned, why did he wait for such a long time, why had it only been two days? Then he shook his hand at the two men very impatiently, and motioned for them to stand down; So the two guards bent their bodies, and then slowly withdrew from the temple gate.

"What the hell, the Burning Sun Continent has never seen this situation for thousands of years, but it happened when I was the lord of this demon city, is it a bad year? I knew that I wouldn't be running for the position of city lord in the first place, wouldn't it be the same if I hid in the clan and cultivated hard? At least for now, don't worry about the safety of your people......! Mu Tianchuan thought distraughtly, paced back and forth a few more steps, and then sat down on the wooden chair on the side of the main hall.

Not long after, the two guards who were on duty at the entrance of the hall heard the call of the city lord of Mu Tianchuan in the hall again, so they gave each other a very helpless look, but their feet were not slow, three steps and two steps, and they came to the hall at once.

"Your Highness the City Lord, what do you command?"

"How? Haven't those messengers come back yet?! Mu Tianchuan sat on the throne of the city lord and asked angrily.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the City Lord, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days for the envoy to go back and forth, and it will be too early!" One of the guards replied respectfully, still respectfully.

When Namu Tianchuan heard the guard's report, he immediately jumped into a rage, only to see him jump up and point outside and scold: "What, how many days has this been?" How many days to go? Why are these minions procrastinating so much, when these dog minions return, see that His Highness will not punish them! ”

Seeing that the city lord was so angry, the two guards also trembled, and only bent their waists lower, but they couldn't help beating a drum in their hearts: "Didn't Your Highness just ask?" And how many times have you asked in the past two days? "But they only dare to hide their doubts in their hearts at the moment, where do they dare to say more nonsense to make His Highness the City Lord angry?

The two of them were muttering in their hearts, but they didn't see His Royal Highness the City Lord order them to go out again, so they couldn't help but raise their eyes slightly and look upwards secretly; This look, but it happened to meet the gaze of His Royal Highness the Upper City Lord, and seeing the other party's very unfriendly eyes, the two of them jumped in their hearts, and hurriedly lowered their heads again.

"What are you two still standing here? Staying and waiting for dinner can't be done? ”

Listening to the cold voice of His Royal Highness the City Lord, the two guards trembled all over, hurriedly said goodbye, and hurriedly raised their feet and retreated.

But this was originally a distance of a few steps, but it made them feel that it was a long walk, and the main entrance of the main hall seemed to be far away in the sky, it was simply out of reach! This made the two people who retreated back into a cold sweat, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the City Lord is angry and intends to cast a spell to teach the two of them a lesson?" ”

The more they thought about it, the more they trembled under their feet, and the slower they walked, like two packers who were carrying heavy loads, and their legs and feet were weak due to the weight on their bodies, but there was actually nothing on them to weigh on, so their appearance looked very funny.

Mu Tianchuan was upset, but when he saw that the two guards were still in place and making funny moves, he couldn't help but be angry again, and just wanted to get angry again but saw the two of them take two steps back, and the next second they were already out of the palace gate, so the words that just came to their lips and swallowed them again, but they were very unhappy in their hearts.

The two guards who finally got out of the palace gate immediately breathed a sigh of relief on their faces, only to say that His Royal Highness the City Lord suddenly spared the two of them, and they were secretly congratulating each other! But before they could raise their hands to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads, they were shocked to see His Royal Highness the City Lord suddenly jump out of the main hall, stared at them and asked, "You say, how many days have it been?" Why haven't they returned? No, we have to send another messenger! By the way, catch those slacking post envoys back and ask for their crimes! Hearing this, the two guards immediately weakened their feet, knelt on the ground and trembled.

"What are you two doing? Could it be that there is something to deceive His Highness? Mu Tianchuan saw that the two guards suddenly knelt on their knees, and he was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"Back to Your Highness, your subordinates don't dare, your subordinates will never have anything to deceive!" The two knelt side by side, buried their heads in the ground, and denied it in their mouths.

"Then why are you on your knees?!"

When one of them heard this, he immediately turned his mind and hurriedly replied: "The two subordinates are asking His Highness for orders to go to the Wood Spirit Clan to inquire about the news, and by the way, catch those slack messengers!" ”

"Very good, you know how to share your highness's worries, then without further ado, you can go quickly!" Mu Tianchuan immediately smiled when he heard this, and quickly agreed.

When the two kneeling on the ground heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed to receive the edict as if they had been amnesty, and after getting up, they raised their legs and disappeared between the palaces and palaces like a puff of smoke.

Seeing that the two of them went so quickly, Mu Tianchuan nodded with satisfaction. At this time, I saw him look up at the sky, only to feel that today's sky seemed to be particularly dazzling, so he took his hand to block his eyebrows and looked at it twice, but after looking at it, he couldn't see anything special, and then shook his hand, turned around and walked into the temple.

At this time, I only heard a very faint female voice shouting in the far away part of the sky: "Idiot, you have turned the luminosity too bright!" I almost showed my feet! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she heard a man say unconvinced: "Nonsense, it's because he hasn't come out to see the sun for too long, don't you understand such a basic light sense?" ”

"How dare you laugh at me?! Looking for a fight! The woman seemed to be unusually strong, and it seemed that the man next to her was guilty, so she only heard him sigh, and then said in a wailing voice: "This can't be adjusted casually, so be it......!" ”

"Let you fight back next time! No, there is no next time! Did you hear that? ”

"Yes, yes, my aunt, ......!"
