The monks in the main hall are divided into groups according to their familiarity, and those who are familiar sit together and are very close to each other, while those who are not familiar seem to be separated by something invisible, and a certain range is divided in the middle, so that people can tell at a glance what kind of friendship the monks have.

Lin Huaizhu stood behind Qin Jianglan and quietly observed the expressions on each monk's face.

The city lord of Fengling City has already asked the disciples who came out of the secret realm to tell him about his experience, mainly about the part of demon cultivation, and those disciples who have not encountered demon cultivation continue to stand in the sect and are not pointed.

Lin Huaizhu could be regarded as having encountered the Demon Cultivator twice, but she was with the four disciples of Lingxiao Palace at the time, so after she roughly described what happened when she encountered the Demon Cultivator, the rest of the details were handed over to Qi Yi and the others to explain carefully.

Of course, the fact that she was kicked out by Wei Ming as a defensive magic weapon to block the damage was skipped by Qi Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

When Qi Yi said this, Lin Huaizhu lowered her eyes, and when she heard him skip this section directly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she paused, she still didn't demolish them back then.

She understood Qi Yi's mood of wanting to protect her junior brother, but from her own position, it was impossible to make friends in the future, so she didn't say anything, listened quietly, and only concentrated on Qin Jianglan's back in a daze.

After the steward of the City Lord's Mansion left yesterday, Master drove her back to rest on the pretext of discussing with the elders of other sects.

Then when she saw him again, it was time to prepare to leave for the City Lord's Mansion, so she didn't have time to say anything, and she didn't have time to ask Qin Jianglan for an answer.

Qin Jianglan felt the hot gaze coming from behind him, his body stiffened, and he tried to ignore this gaze calmly in his heart.

But no matter how much you pretend to be fine, you still feel troubled in your heart, and you can't calm down.

To be honest, he had always regarded Lin Huaizhu as a junior before this, and never thought that she would have different thoughts about himself.

If it's just like this, it's okay, just cut through the mess while her thoughts are just starting now, and cut off her thoughts.

However, what made him distracted was that after Lin Huaizhu showed him his intentions, in addition to being shocked, he also vaguely felt some indescribable joy, which fermented in his heart, making him at a loss, and he didn't know how to react.

Before, because he was worried about her situation in the secret realm, this matter was directly left behind by him.

Now that she came out safely, Qin Jianglan thought that there was still this matter waiting for him, and Qin Jianglan, who had never had experience in this area, was suddenly a little distracted, absent-minded, and didn't dare to discuss with someone, so he could only bury it silently in his heart.

The master and apprentice were in a trance, but there was already a discussion in the main hall.

"City Lord, this incident happened in the place under your jurisdiction, and it is speculated that there are no less than a dozen demon cultivators who have entered the secret realm, so many demon cultivators appear here, shouldn't the city lord give everyone an explanation?"

In the midst of the noise, someone suddenly challenged the city lord and asked sharply, which instantly attracted the attention of the rest of the people, and everyone gradually stopped their voices and looked at him.

There were all kinds of emotions in his eyes, such as surprise, watching a play, approval, indifference, etc., and everyone was waiting to see how the city lord of Fengling City was ready to reply.

Qin Jianglan was also awakened by this suddenly raised voice, he settled his mind, and his eyes followed to the person who spoke, still with the calm appearance of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, and his calm appearance made everyone unable to think that he was shaking his mind just now.

"Lu Daoyou, what do you mean by this?" The city lord of Fengling City didn't speak, and a monk sitting on his left stood up and spoke first, "Fengling City is not closed, anyone can come in, how could the ancient city lord expect in advance that there would be a group of demon cultivators gathered here, so he should take precautions in advance?" Besides, that group of demon cultivators must have a magic weapon to cover up their aura, and the level is not low, otherwise, with so many demon cultivators present at that time, wouldn't no one notice that something was wrong? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the high-ranking monks who were present when the secret realm opened changed all of them, and their faces were a little ugly.

These words have already crucified them in place, if they still insist on holding the ancient city lord accountable for failing to take care of them and failing to find out in time, then in front of the entrance, that group of demon cultivators was in front of this group of high-level monks, they were different and didn't notice anything wrong, if they really want to talk about it, their own disciples have mixed into the demon cultivators, and they can't escape responsibility.

The monk surnamed Lu suddenly lost his menacing momentum, and he felt too faceless when he died down like this, so he still muttered with some dissatisfaction: "It's just, even if this is the case, this incident happened within the scope of Fengling City, can it still be done?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Everyone understood what Brother Lu meant, in fact, many people present were thinking the same as him in their hearts, this time the trip to the secret realm of Fengling City suffered heavy losses, even if the casual cultivation was carried out, if one person ate the whole family and was not hungry, it would have no effect.

But for the sect and the family, it was the elite disciples who died, and there was nothing to make up for in the secret realm, so they naturally wanted to push this matter to Fengling City and let the ancient city lord bear the losses for them.

Therefore, there are many monks who think very well, let Fengling City compensate for the magic weapon and the spirit stone, and pay enough to offset the loss of the master.

These little tricks are already very common routines, and the disciples who have gone out to practice a few times can see that although everyone did not talk, there was still a lot of disdain in their eyes when they looked at him, and Brother Lu sat down again with a sneering face, not daring to speak again.

Seeing that the main hall had regained its calm, the ancient city lord felt a hint of gunsmoke in the silence, so he slowly spoke: "Lu Daoyou is right, so many demon cultivators have gathered in my Fengling City, it is indeed that I, the city lord, have not done a good job. ”

The eyes of the person standing on Brother Lu's side lit up, and he thought that the ancient city lord was ready to admit the matter in a dumb way, and was about to open his mouth to make more money, when the ancient city lord said again.

"After I received the news yesterday, I have been wondering, why are so many demon cultivators gathered here? Although my Fengling City is not an ordinary small city, most of the residents in the city are self-sufficient, and there is absolutely no strange treasure here, in order to confirm this, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't find any ancient records in the library of the City Lord's Mansion, so I guess that the goal of demon cultivation should be the secret realm that appeared inexplicably, otherwise they wouldn't have to pretend to be righteous monks to enter, you know, this secret realm is not open, they have to pretend to be a day's identity, and there is a risk of being discovered at any time, After all, there are acquaintances among the disciples of each family, and if one is not careful, he will be detected as abnormal, and the risk is too high. ”

The ancient city lord's words were so clever that Lin Huaizhu couldn't help but shout.

On the surface, he seemed to admit Fengling City's fault, but after careful scrutiny, he could obviously draw several meanings.

First of all, the demon cultivator is here for this secret realm, and the target is not Fengling City, if the secret realm is not out of Fengling City, but from other cities, they will appear no matter which city, so Fengling City is not the purpose of their gathering.

This sentence seems to be fine, but if you put it another way, we in Fengling City do not harbor demon cultivators.

Secondly, the city lord also mentioned the identity of the pretending disciple, which is also a deliberate reminder to everyone, the disciples who get along with you day and night can't detect the abnormality, how can he, a person who sits in the city lord's mansion all day long, tell the difference?

Again, he also expressed his opinion on this matter by the way, wondering why the demon cultivator was obsessed with this secret realm, trying to move everyone's attention to it, and resolving the responsibility to avoid the important and light.

The most important thing is that these words are not deliberate at all, if you don't think about it carefully, you really can't hear that the ancient city lord is exculpating himself.

The monk who didn't hear the meaning thought thoughtfully, while the monk who had already heard the meaning but wanted to make a fortune sat in place without saying a word, and didn't bother to answer a word.

The ancient city lord also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, he saw the performance of everyone in front of him, and then said: "Demon Xiu's behavior is too blatant, I think he is secretly planning something, if we just blindly defend, I am afraid that we will not be able to prevent it, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, everyone, do you say yes or no?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a monk at the bottom of him.

"The ancient city lord is right, that's exactly what he said!"

"These demon cultivators are really hateful, they are not a good thing, they are always engaged in some conspiracies and tricks behind their backs, in my opinion, we should attack the demon path like hundreds of years ago, and completely annihilate them, so as to prevent future troubles!"

"That's right!"

"Yes, we have to let the people of the Demon Dao know that although we are merciful and righteous, we are not easy to mess with!"

The main hall suddenly resounded one after another, and when he heard them say that demon cultivation was not a good thing, Lin Huaizhu's fingers hanging on his side couldn't help but move, and he subconsciously wanted to make a move.

Fortunately, she reacted in time, she was no longer Xu Changge in the previous life, so she couldn't help it, but she was still a little breathless in her heart, and glanced at the loudest people without a trace, and wrote down their appearances, planning to make a dull stick if she had the opportunity in the future, and respond to the call of the master.

These people know a few demon cultivators, and they are talking about it here, and if they have the ability, they don't want to be the first to run when the demon cultivators come!

The ancient city lord looked at the monk who responded to him with satisfaction in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly: "I also have this intention, but it's a pity that my Fengling City is weak and can't take on this heavy responsibility, I believe everyone has also seen it, the residents of Fengling City are mostly ordinary people, and they can't compete with these demon cultivators, I also had no choice but to find you to discuss this matter, as long as we righteous path monks work together to fight the enemy, I believe that we will be able to disintegrate those ghost tricks of the demon path, and avenge those disciples who were killed by them!" ”

Well said, Lin Huaizhu couldn't help but want to cheer for the ancient city lord again.

In a few words, he skillfully transformed the secret realm into a counterattack against the demon cultivator, and others can't hold on to it, otherwise he won't be a "righteous monk", this hat is so high that others can't easily take it off.

Lin Huaizhu already admired this ancient city lord who could speak well.
