Bang

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the small courtyard, and in the dark night, the twisted and deformed black iron gate flew out and smashed to the ground, making a sound of gold and iron colliding.

In the cold wind, the fine smoke and dust were blown apart, and the entire small building trembled slightly like an earthquake.

Everyone looked at the small courtyard in amazement

Stomp and tread

A tall figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust, but when everyone saw it clearly, they all gasped.

The man was covered in bandages, not only on his upper body, but also on his arms and legs.

As the man moved, blood continued to ooze from the white gauze, but it was soon frozen by a strange cold air, turning into white ice crystals and solidifying on his body.

The wind was frozen, the white ice particles glowed slightly blue in the morning light, and the man slowly walked out of the courtyard as if he was wearing a pair of ice-blue armor stained with blood spots.

"This ......"

Wang Xinghua and several people looked at each other, and then a few ups and downs came directly to the man.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?"

Mo Lianshan stepped forward and wanted to support Ye Cheng, his appearance at this time, no matter who could see that the situation was extremely bad, his face was pale, and the aura on his body was also dim, completely devoid of the fierce and domineering of the day.

Ye Cheng waved his hand to stop Mo Lianshan and looked at several attics in the distance

"It's okay, it's just that something went wrong with the practice of a secret art"

As Ye Cheng raised his hand, there was red blood oozing from his right hand, but he didn't seem to notice it

Seeing Ye Cheng's gaze, there was a commotion in the attic in the distance, and some figures flew up in mid-air and hurriedly disappeared into the dim sky.

The attic is dark, and martial law has been imposed around the City Lord's Mansion since last night, not only is it not allowed to move around at will, but even the lights are not allowed to be lit.

Mo Lianshan saw the commotion in the distance and immediately fell silent, and silently walked behind Ye Cheng.

Ying'an City is one of the eighteen major cities in the Northland, even if it is far away from the Qingyu Pavilion, the families in the city are extremely sensitive to all kinds of news.

The battle between the two parties in the Qingyu Pavilion has been put on the bright side, and as time goes by, more and more families are involved in it, and they must be involved.

This turmoil, which was caused by the turmoil of the Black Abyss ghosts and was promoted by the two Tian Yuan Venerables behind the scenes, had evolved into a huge whirlpool in just over a month, which was not only related to the position of one Qingyu Pavilion Pavilion Master, but also to the positions of the six Deputy Pavilion Masters under it.

This is a life-and-death battle, where the winner takes it all and the loser loses.

The outcome of the battle will determine the direction of the tens of millions of people in the entire Qingyu Pavilion in the next ten years or even longer, even if the ghost riot is intensifying now, no one dares to ignore this battle.

Although many families are still waiting and seeing, in the end, they still have to make a choice, as long as they are in the Eighteen Cities of the Northland, there is no possibility of escape.

The family that wants to keep Mingzhe neutral can only be marginalized by both sides at the same time in the end, this result is not transferred by Ye Cheng or Song Guan's will, no matter which side finally wins the championship and controls the overall situation, these families standing in the middle will not end well.

Heroes need to be rewarded, resources and regions need to be redistributed, the territory of the eighteen cities has been finalized, and the winners want to be rewarded, so they can only break the original pattern, swallow the winners, and then eat the ones who are on the edge.

The Qingyu Pavilion will naturally not interfere in the battles of various families, but the Qingyu Pavilion has vital resources, talismans, treasure medicines, and spiritual soldiers, and the flow of these resources will directly determine the rise and fall of the family in the short term, and the selection of the young children of the Qingyu Pavilion will determine the long-term rise and fall of the family.

This is not an overnight result, and as a continuation of the struggle, this change will be done slowly in three, five, or even ten years, like a whirlpool, swallowing the losers and neutrals all.

And with the new pavilion master and the six deputy pavilion masters, the winning side will not lose no matter what it does, everything is just a matter of time, and it just so happens that the most important thing these families lack is patience.

Therefore, now Ye Cheng can't fall.

Mo Lianshan stood behind Ye Cheng, looking at the blood-soaked bandage on the man's back, his eyes flashed fiercely, Ye Cheng was now the banner of the Flame Alliance.

Ye Cheng obviously knew the reason, he was standing here, it was a declaration, even if he was injured, but with the momentum of repelling the suspected Tianyuan ghosts, as long as he didn't fall, no one dared to ignore his existence.

"Quick, go to the east of the city and invite Doctor Zhang, go quickly"

Wang Hanyu looked at Ye Cheng, who was calm and covered in blood, his face was a little panicked, and he pulled over a guard next to him and ordered

"Don't get in the way, just call a traumatist to change the bandages for me"

Ye Cheng frowned slightly, he wanted to stop it, but he looked at the bandages on his body that were almost soaked in blood, and finally said softly

The guards were stunned on the spot, not knowing who to listen to, the city guards were naturally subject to the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, but the meaning of the lord in front of him obviously did not dare to disobey.

"Call Doctor Sun in the house to wait in the north chamber and prepare gauze," Wang Xinghua ordered in a deep voice.

"But ......" Wang Hanyu wanted to say something, but Wang Xinghua glared at him and said softly

"Adults are just skin wounds"

Wang Hanyu was a little puzzled, but when he saw Wang Xinghua's stern eyes, he was shocked, and finally retreated behind Ye Cheng and was silent.

............

The north chamber of the city lord's mansion

Sandalwood was burning in the coiled dragon incense burner, and a thin pillar of smoke rose on the stove, and the smoke column quickly dispersed, and the air was filled with a light fragrance.

Ye Cheng sat at the top, all kinds of dishes filled the long table in front of him, and there were also small stoves next to him, warming more than a dozen big dishes, all of which were meat.

On the four long tables below, there are two people, the father and son of the Wang family and the Mo family.

"Eat first"

Ye Cheng took a piece of golden elbow, cut the meat with a knife and removed the bones, a large plate of barbecue disappeared quickly, and soon there was only a pile of bones left on the table.

The few people below were eating the dishes in front of them a little absentmindedly, but they couldn't help but look at Ye Cheng.

The bones on the table were rapidly tired, and in just a quarter of an hour, Ye Chengcheng had already eaten five crystal elbows, three servings of roast lamb chops that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, plus seven or eight plates of beef tenderloin.

As the meat went down, there was a low roar faintly coming from Ye Cheng's body, and in the quiet room, only the gurgling sound of qi and blood flowing in Ye Cheng's body could be heard, and at the same time, a white gas evaporated from Ye Cheng's body, faintly turning into a hideous giant turtle roaring in the sky.

"I should be the first person to eat with internal strength"

As a large amount of meat disappeared, Ye Cheng's face gradually became rosy.

Of course, that's all, this time the injury is far more serious than he imagined, and now he is just barely recovering some qi and blood by relying on meat, not to mention eating, even if he changed to the first-grade elixir before, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

Breaking through Tian Yuan is either life or death, the most common situation is to be directly devoured by the selected spiritual object, directly turned into the nutrients of the spiritual object, if the luck is good enough, the selected spiritual object is not top-notch, and the cultivator is decisive enough, and it is possible to stay alive after the muscles and veins are damaged, which is already great luck.

Like Ye Cheng, he chose a top-notch spiritual object, and his mind was trapped when he broke through, if there was no Northern Spirit to make a move, the only result would be to be burned into ashes by the Nether Flame and turned into spiritual flame nutrients.

But even so, Ye Cheng's injuries were still extremely serious.

He used the method of returning to the Yuan to hide in the fetal breath work, sealing all his muscles and veins, locking the internal breath of the whole body to nourish himself, this process is like a turtle hibernating, resting his body, but I am afraid it will be difficult to recover without a year and a half.

Moreover, his physical body qi and blood were also seriously damaged, and under the weakening of qi and blood, even the cultivation of the refining body could only be maintained in the realm of condensation realm.

Although the power of the transformation and even beyond the boundary of the transformation can be used, I am afraid that it will be more and more damaged.

Ye Cheng shook his palm, and a subtle tearing pain came from his arm.

"What's going on outside?"

Ye Cheng picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his mouth, the power of qi and blood that food can recover has reached its limit, and it is useless to eat it any longer.

"The ghosts outside the city have been largely cleared, but there is no news of the messengers sent to the court and the cabinet, and I am afraid that the road outside is not very peaceful," Wang Xinghua said in a deep voice

"Are you saying that this turmoil is not just aimed at Ying'an City, but against the entire Northland?" Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

This time the matter was obviously pushed by Hei Yuan behind his back, although he repelled the blood shadow ghost, but there was too little information in his hand, and it was impossible to judge whether the other party was targeting Ying Ancheng or taking revenge on a large scale.

"I'm afraid that's the case, Yong'an near Ying'an City, several counties in Qingyuan, the number of ghosts around it has also increased significantly, fortunately, there are no shape-shaped ghosts, and several counties rely on the city wall to defend, and the casualties are not large" Wang Xinghua returned

"What about the cabinet, what's the news?"

"This is the report of the palace in the pavilion ten years ago, and I haven't received it since, I'm afraid it's not that the cabinet didn't send it, but that there was a problem on the way."

After Ziyangxi took over as the pavilion master, he would make the information in the pavilion into a mansion newspaper every half a month and send it to various big cities, in addition to the warning information in the pavilion, it also included a real-time updated ghost distribution map

Ye Cheng took the yellow envelope handed over by the little servant

"Xingyuan City was raided by ghosts, thousands of people were killed and injured, the city lord killed two heads of condensed ghosts, a number of walking corpses, each city should take this as a warning, strengthen the city defense ......"

"Song Guan, the deputy pavilion master, killed the three heads of the transformation ghost in Daze of Qishan City, and relieved the danger of the siege of Qishan, at present, Qishan City has been restored to connect with the outside world, if the cities encounter force majeure, they should guard the city gate and wait for the general pavilion to rescue ......"

"Jiugong City Lu Wanquan killed the transformation ghost in Feiyun Mountain, and found a broken star spirit mine, the ghost nature likes the yin spirit land, and there are many strange treasures in the gathering place, the spirit ore and strange treasures obtained by killing the ghost things in this turmoil are all owned by each family, and the pavilion will not be levied, I hope that all families will work hard to solve the danger of the northern land as soon as possible......"

This message is followed by a line of remarks in small red letters

"The two families of Lu Lou competed, and the Lou family withdrew from defeat, and won the Lu family's sinking spirit sand mine on the bank of the Cangjiang River, and there were mutual victories and defeats."

"Lou family" Ye Cheng frowned lightly

Ye Cheng then looked down

"Ye Cheng, the deputy pavilion master, went out of the customs and took twenty-eight hunting tasks alone, and has now killed thirty-two condensed ghosts, two turned into fierce ghosts, and the ghosts along the Qingyu Pavilion to Ying'an City have been basically cleared, and the contact between the cities has been restored, and the warriors in the pavilion should take Ye Deputy Pavilion Master as a model to suppress the turmoil in the north as soon as possible......"

followed by a series of resumes about Ye Cheng, what kind of temperament, precocious and precocious, talented, calm and solemn, benevolent and chivalrous, and even some things that even Ye Cheng himself didn't know were also written on his resume.

"When did I save the flood and open the granary to save thousands of people in Bac Ninh City? Isn't this what happened to my father back then, according to my memory, it should have been ...... at that time Five?"

Ye Cheng touched his nose, a little crying and laughing.

His eyes flashed, and he turned to the first few pages, and sure enough, behind Song Guan's message, a series of resumes were also attached.

He flipped to the information of Lu Wanjian and several others, but the back was empty, only himself and Song Guan had a long list of resumes behind them.

He pulled out Song Guan and his own two pages

"This one of mine should be Meng Yuan's handwriting, and Song Guan's side should also be the actions of the people below, and the two copies were actually posted out at the same time......"

"Are you in such a hurry to force all parties to stand in line" Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered to himself

He glanced at the two pages of paper on the table, flipped through the newspaper, and there was another separate volume below, which turned out to be the news of Ziyang Creek.
