The ghost gate closed at night, and it was noisy again.

During the day, the Flame Knights displayed their might, frantically expelling, and even killing adventurers and caravans who gathered inside the West Gate;

At night, it turns into a massacre of the Flame Knights.

Hong Yuan walked around in the darkness and became an out-and-out god of killing, in addition to hunting down the lone flame knight, he also burned the fire to some inns. Sometimes, deliberately chasing but not killing, driving the Flame Knights to the inn to hide, and sometimes, deliberately exposing their whereabouts in front of the group of Flame Knights leads them to the inn, and then taking advantage of the complex terrain of the inn to launch a ferocious counterattack, deliberately creating greater panic.

The adventurers and merchants stranded in the Ghost Gate Pass were already in shock, and quickly fell into even greater panic. The soldiers were more nervous than the people, and they were scared as they patrolled the streets.

The news soon spread to the Ghost Gate General's Mansion, and Zhou Tiejun, who had only been lying down for a long time, hurriedly got up and rushed into the Ghost Gate Hall with a curse. Chu Yannan also came, his face gloomy, he had already heard the news from the disciples of the Chu family.

More and more soldiers hurried back to report the news, and the city was in a hurry.

Zhou Tiejun sat on the throne and listened to the reports of the soldiers, his face became more and more heavy. In the end, when he heard that a team of thirty flame knights had also been wiped out, he couldn't hold it back, and shattered the armrest of the throne with one palm, shocked and angry, "Damn, is it really a night demon who escaped to our ghost gate?"

"Your Excellency, outside...... , said the soldiers who were patrolling outside. ”

The herald sweated on his forehead, he was only responsible for reporting the situation, and he didn't know who the demon who was wreaking havoc in the city was.

"Okay, I see, you can retreat!"

Zhou Tiejun waved his hand to let the herald retreat, stood up and walked back and forth in the main hall, distraught.

At the risk of angering the three giants of the alliance, he had just suppressed people's protests, and thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate his energy and strength on guarding against the snakes outside the east gate, but unexpectedly, something even bigger went wrong in the blink of an eye. The snakes outside the east gate still don't know how to solve it, and there is another night demon, how to deal with this demon?

Zhou Tiejun felt the unprecedented pressure, the situation was very serious, and if he was not careful, the three pressures were superimposed, making the soldiers tired and completely collapsed, and it would be over at that time!

"Brother Zhou, don't you think the situation is a little weird?"

Chu Yannan took a few steps forward and said beside Zhou Tiejun: "We have only been blocking the city gate for a few days, and people began to riot and protest, and then there was a wave of pythons; Brother Zhou, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

Zhou Tiejun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chu Yannan, "Brother Chu, do you want to say that this is also the conspiracy of that kid from Hong Yuan?"

"Yes, that's the kid's plot!"

Chu Yannan was categorical, insisting that Hong Yuan did it, for fear that Zhou Tiejun would not be able to bear the pressure. Otherwise, his efforts during this time would have been in vain. There is no way to intercept Hong Yuan at the Ghost Gate Pass and then kill him, and it is even more difficult to reach the Night Demon Stone Forest. If Hong Yuan really broke into the Night Demon Stone Forest and completed the task, the Chu family would be finished, and it would be seen that it was a strong outsider, and it would never be able to win the fourth giant of the alliance, and it would even usher in the exclusion and suppression of many big families.

"How old is Hong Yuan, he can command a large group of demon beasts, and he can also command a night demon, Chu Yannan, do you believe it yourself?" Zhou Tiejun asked rhetorically, his face was already a little unkind.

"Hong Yuan, that kid doesn't have to order a night demon, he can completely pretend to be a night demon and pretend to be a ghost. Chu Yannan argued.

"According to the intelligence from all sides, Hong Yuan has only cultivated to the Divine Soul Realm, and he has not yet opened the treasures of the Four Directions. Can a mere Divine Soul Realm cultivator make a haunt overnight and kill more than a hundred elite flame knights?" Zhou Tiejun asked again, his face was already very ugly.

The reason why he chose to cooperate with Chu Yannan was because he took a fancy to the power and financial resources of the Chu family, and was ready to take the opportunity to extort a large number of weapons and equipment, so he forcibly blocked the city gate despite the strong opposition of the people. However, if the price is too great, so big that it threatens the throne and even the life of the Great Commander of the Ghost Gate, then the gain outweighs the loss. From his point of view, whether it is Hong Yuan's conspiracy or not, and whether the ghost gate is really a night demon or Hong Yuan is pretending to be a ghost, he must think carefully. When necessary, the city gates can only be opened to lift the blockade, at least to resolve the pressure from the people.

"Brother Zhou, give me three more days, and I will definitely be able to dig out that kid from Hong Yuan. Chu Yannan understood Zhou Tiejun's worries, and knew that some things could no longer be forced, so he asked for a continued blockade for three days.

"Then in the past three days, will you let that night demon slaughter wildly in the city?" Zhou Tiejun still had a calm face.

Chu Yannan was sweating on his forehead, and his heart was also nervous, so he thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Whether it's a real night demon or not, leave it to our Chu family disciples to deal with." Of course, we also need Brother Zhou to send some masters to support, and in addition, when we move, we will set up a heavy encirclement around us, so that we can't let the other party escape. ”

"Okay, that's no problem, when you really meet that night demon and fight with it, I will personally press you down!"

Zhou Tiejun was generous at this point, and did not embarrass Chu Yannan, and then changed his tone and said: However, there is only one day, and I can't destroy the night demon before sunset tomorrow, so I can only open the city gate. ”

"What, it's only been one day, Brother Zhou, this ......"

Chu Yannan was in a hurry, it was only one day, this was too hasty, and there was no time to arrange it calmly. Even if you are lucky enough to find the Night Demon, it will be a very dangerous encounter, and even if the Chu family wins, it is very likely that they will have to pay a heavy price.

"Brother Chu, I'm sorry, at this very moment, no matter what the hell is going on, brother, I can only relieve part of the pressure first, and I can't let the thousand-year-old Ghost Gate Pass be destroyed in my hands, you and I can't afford this responsibility. Zhou Tiejun insisted that he only gave Chu Yannan one day, pretending to protect the ghost gate pass.

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhou!"

Chu Yannan bowed, turned around and retreated to make urgent arrangements, and soon, he led all the Chu family disciples to rush out of the General's Mansion on horseback, and chased and killed the so-called night demon overnight. As an old Jianghu, Chu Yannan certainly understood Zhou Tiejun's plan, and knew that there was no way to force it, and it was useless to promise a big reward. Now, the only thing he can do is find the Daredevil as soon as possible and kill him!

Zhou Tiejun stood in front of the window, watching Chu Yannan and his party rush out of the General's Mansion, and after they were far away, he clapped his hands and summoned a personal guard in, "Go, pass my order, let Ghost Wu personally bring three thousand flame knights to follow, and bring enough poisoned arrows." If you find the night demon, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, you don't need to verify whether someone is pretending to be or not, you don't need to worry about any situation, you can just kill it!"

"Yes!"

The guards changed color, knowing what it meant to not have to worry about any situation. It means that once the target is found, regardless of whether it will accidentally injure the master of the Chu family, it will launch an indiscriminate covering poison arrow attack. After losing his mind slightly, the personal guard bowed down to receive the order, turned around and hurriedly looked for Ghost Wu, who was the number one master under Zhou Tiejun and the most murderous deputy commander of Ghost Gate Pass.
