As the day dawned, people spent the night in trepidation in inns large and small, and got up early in the morning to discuss the events of the previous night.

The news that the night demon escaped from the stone forest and came to the ghost gate pass and opened a killing ring spread all over the city last night, and the rumors were flying all over the city, and the more people were scared, the more uneasy they became, and some people were even trembling with fright. The west gate has been blocked, and it is impossible to go to the Daredevil Stone Forest as planned, and now, the east gate is also closed, and there are many pythons on the road, and the retreat back to Night Dragon City has been cut off, and you must not be trapped in the small ghost gate.

"Today, we have to go out of the city, and we can't stay in the ghost gate anymore. As soon as it gets dark, that night demon will come out to kill again!"

"Yes, I can't bear it anymore, fight with the soldiers!"

......

People were gossiping, panicking, and then they began to get angry.

The bloody repression of the soldiers, for the time being, put down the protests, but also planted the seeds of hatred. The arrival of the night demon is terrifying, but it also ignites the anger in people's hearts, and the closure of the ghost gate makes people face the threat of a night demon.

Zou Haiyan, Liang Laosan and others were also shouting, and the crowd was surging.

Upstairs, in a guest room near the street, Hong Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, listening to people's discussions while waiting quietly. If nothing else, Chu Yannan and Zhou Tiejun will definitely have to make some moves today, they will not sit idly by, and the good show will be staged naturally; if the two of them can't shrink back, then it's fine, it's a big deal to break open the city gate and kill them directly.

It would be best to be able to break into the Daredevil Stone Forest in the crowd, so as not to expose your whereabouts and be targeted by some big masters who rushed to the scene, but it really can't be done, or if the delay is too long, it will not be cost-effective, and you can only attack.

Hong Yuan secretly calculated the time, and was not prepared to continue to delay at the Ghost Gate Pass, so he had to go out of the city today.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and a herald hurried in on horseback, holding a notice in his hand.

"It's coming!"

Hong Yuan opened his eyes and knew that he was not surprised.

"The Grand Commander has an order, everyone gathers at the Ghost Gate Square, and there is a major event to announce!"

"After half a tea time, the army will search in a dragnet style, and those who are still hiding in the inn will be regarded as rebels and will be killed!"

The herald shouted loudly, posted the notice on the door of the inn, and hurried to the next inn.

In the inn, people were in a commotion, not knowing what was going on, and they all denounced the arrogance of Zhou Tiejun, the commander of the Ghost Gate Pass;

Hong Yuan also walked out of the guest room and left the inn with Zou Haiyan and his party.

On the Ghost Gate Square, there was already a sea of people, and the soldiers rode their horses back and forth, driving all the adventurers and merchants stranded in the city to the square.

On the high platform at the end of the square, Zhou Tiejun and Chu Yannan had been preparing for a long time. Especially Zhou Tiejun, he deliberately put on the armor he fought on the battlefield when he was young, and his eyes were sharp and he looked majestic. Oni Five stood at the bottom of the stage, standing motionless like a javelin, as cold and silent as ever.

Zou Haiyan, Liang Laosan and others are all young people, some are nervous and panicked, and some are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they squeeze forward all the way. Hong Yuan silently followed behind and came to the bottom of the high platform. Suddenly driven here to gather, people are inevitably a little nervous and uneasy, and there is a lot of gossip.

"Yanzi, this guy surnamed Zhou won't really want to gather us all together and kill us all as people say, and have a massacre, right?" Looking up at the majestic Zhou Tiejun on the high platform, Liang Laosan was beating drums in his heart.

"Impossible! Forcibly suppressing it is not a trivial matter, and if the three alliance giants blame it, Zhou Tiejun will have a lot of trouble; if he really wants to massacre, he doesn't have the courage to do that, and there is no need for that. Zou Haiyan shook her head and said, "Fatty, don't worry, as long as you are honest, no one will slaughter you as a big fat pig." If there is any situation, you must follow my orders, and don't run around on your own. ”

Zou Haiyan calmed down, but she also frowned when she spoke, and the soldiers suddenly and unusually drove people together, which always made people feel uneasy. She had a gut instinct that it was most likely related to the Daredevil that was rumored last night.

Sure enough, after seeing that the hour was almost there, Zhou Tiejun stood up, glanced at it congenitally and coldly, and people closed their mouths and quieted down.

"Guys, do you know why I suddenly gathered you together?"

Zhou Tiejun was full of energy, his voice spread throughout the entire Ghost Gate Square, paused, and said loudly: "Are you thinking that someone in my Zhou is going to be unfavorable to you again?

The crowd was a little commotional, and their hearts were even more confused and uneasy, not knowing what Zhou Tiejun meant.

"You blame me, hate me, it's nothing, I can understand it, it was I who ordered the blockade of the city gates, hindered your actions, and affected your business, but ...... , you must remember in the future that it was me Zhou who saved you. I gathered you in this square today to save you!"

Zhou Tiejun's voice was loud, overshadowing people's whispers, and he paused and then said loudly: "Most of the people who are stranded in the Ghost Gate Pass are good people, but there are also people who plot against them, always thinking about their personal interests for fear that the world will not be chaotic, so they spread rumors everywhere, and even went into battle in person to pretend to be a night demon and go on a killing spree. This man is lurking among you!"

People talked a lot, and finally knew Zhou Tiejun's purpose in driving the crowd to the square. Some people will be skeptical, but more people have doubts, such a big movement last night is by no means something that Zhou Tiejun can suppress with a few words.

"This seat can tell you very clearly that there are no night demons in the Ghost Gate, all rumors are conspirators, and it is very safe here. In order to find out the conspirators, the Ghost Gate Pass will continue to block the city gate, and those who dare to disobey the order will be killed! Where are the five deputy commanders, give this seat a list and serve wine!"

Zhou Tiejun drank vigorously, and someone quickly brought a pot of wine.

Along with the Ghost Five, the five deputy commanders of the Ghost Gate Pass quickly stepped forward and stood in a row under the high platform. Behind the five people, there were more than 800 elite soldiers, standing together in a neat row. There was an aura of murder in the air over the square, making people afraid to say a single 'no'. Someone quickly stepped forward and poured wine for the soldiers, each with a large porcelain bowl.

Zhou Tiejun picked up the wine jug and slowly swept his gaze over the soldiers, "The safety of the ghost gate is on the brothers, someone is plotting against him, should he be killed?"

"Damn it!"

The soldiers spoke in unison.

"Someone forcibly broke into the city gate, will they be killed?" Zhou Tiejun asked again.

"Kill!"

The soldiers responded loudly, holding the wine up in both hands.

"Okay, drink this glass of wine, brothers will defend the ghost gate together......! Not...... Pardon!"

Zhou Tiejun ordered loudly, majestic and majestic, raised the wine jug suddenly, and drank it all. He didn't care if people believed him or not, as long as he still controlled the situation with military power, he had no scruples, and secretly vowed to pull Hong Yuan out at all costs and get rid of future troubles forever.

"Drink!"

The soldiers raised their heads, drank the same thing, and then smashed the bowls to the ground, one by one, like wolves and tigers.

On the high platform, Chu Yannan, who was standing behind Zhou Tiejun, smiled, with Zhou Tiejun's help, he didn't have to worry about finding Hong Yuan. However, before he could get excited, his smile stiffened.

Zhou Tiejun, who was condescending and proud, suddenly pinched his throat with a painful expression, as if he had accidentally swallowed something and stuck his esophagus. The guards rushed to help, but before they could get closer, they saw a horrifying scene.

Zhou Tiejun suddenly lowered his head, his hands turned to cover his chest, large drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, his face distorted, he opened his mouth and let out a heart-rending scream, and lifted the armor and clothes on his body. I saw a bulge on his chest, and then, a claw stretched out from it, and blood gushed out.

"Ah......h

Zhou Tiejun screamed, looking down at the bloody hole on his chest, his body twitched and he was powerless to resist, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Under the high platform, people were also screaming, especially the adventurers and business travelers in front, they were all frightened when they saw it clearly, and they all turned around and fled one by one, and the crowded square quickly became a mess. The murderous soldiers who had just drunk a large bowl of wine were also cold and frightened for a while, and they didn't know who started it, and they scattered with the crowd.

Zhou Tiejun's appearance was too scary, making people think of the night demon who was haunted last night for the first time, not to mention the many adventurers and merchants, even the soldiers would not believe what Zhou Tiejun said just now.

"Ah...... , save me, save ......"

Zhou Tiejun wailed helplessly, his body was shaky, but unfortunately, the appearance was too scary and no one dared to approach. Several deputy commanders originally wanted to stand up and control the situation, but when they saw that the leader of the ghost five stood coldly and did not move, they had no choice but to protect themselves. After screaming for a while, Zhou Tiejun's body finally fell to the ground with a bang, just now it was still majestic, and he died in a shocking blink of an eye. At this time, a small scorpion covered in blood came out of his chest.

In the crowd, Hong Yuan stood motionless, looking coldly at Zhou Tiejun, who was staring blankly.

Last night, the killing trick he left behind in the General's Mansion was finally revealed to the people. At the critical moment, he took the initiative to lead the mad python army to retreat, not because he couldn't kill Zhou Tiejun because of his lack of strength, but because he covered the action of the Scorpion King and quietly laid out a killing move. As expected, Zhou Tiejun was hit by a trick when he was drinking, and the Scorpion King who was lurking in the wine pot took the opportunity to drill into his body, and then tore his internal organs and drilled out from the inside out, and the terrible scene frightened everyone.

In the direction of the city gate, the shouts and cheers of the people were quickly heard, and in the chaos, people took the opportunity to open the city gate and rushed out. The soldiers stationed at the head of the city were also frightened, and when they saw the terrible scene in the square from afar, their hands and feet were cold and they had no intention of stopping it, and even fled out of the city with the crowd.

"How could it be, what was going on?"

On the high platform, Chu Yannan was also depressed, top-heavy and knew that it was over, and he was no longer powerless to stop Hong Yuan from leaving the city. All the previous efforts were in vain.

"Old fellow, this is a lesson, if you don't know whether you live or die, you will be next. ”

Hong Yuan's voice suddenly sounded coldly in Chu Yannan's ears, and he turned around and followed the flow of people.

Chu Yannan suddenly raised his head, only to see that there was chaos in the square, and there were people everywhere who were in a panic, and they couldn't see Hong Yuan at all. Even if you find Hong Yuan, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get it, but it will be a disaster. Looking at Zhou Tiejun who fell to the ground, Chu Yannan shivered, obviously the sun was shining on his body, but he felt that his body was getting colder and colder.
