In the darkness of the night, the gates of the city were shut.

Although the city wall is more than ten meters high, it can only stop ordinary people.

Anyone who cultivates internal qi and cultivates some light skills is not difficult to surpass the city wall more than ten meters high.

However, if you want to go back and forth without alarming the guards of the city wall, it is not something that ordinary cultivation can do.

In the dark night, a figure swept up the city wall, and then swept towards the direction where the Zhou family's mansion was located at a ghostly speed.

The wall guards didn't react at all, only felt a gust of wind blow and sneezed.

This figure is none other than Zhou Chen.

"What people!"

As soon as Zhou Chen entered the mansion, a group of guards immediately surrounded him.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city wall are martial apprentices, and they are martial artists when they reach the captain level, so they can't find Zhou Chen at all, but the Zhou family is one of the three major families in Lanjiang City, which has been inherited for more than three hundred years, and the security is stricter than the city lord's mansion.

After all, the lord of the city is the lord of the city who changes every thirty years, and the iron servants are flowing water.

On the bright side, he is the largest city lord and the strongest in cultivation, but in terms of heritage, it is difficult to compete with the local forces.

The guards in the Zhou family's mansion are all at the outer gang level at the lowest, and the highest ones are at the inner gang level.

As for the several guard commanders, they have reached the peak of the Neigang level, and in terms of strength, they may not be as good as the two demons who have died in his hands and are from the Ghost Bone Sect, but they are not much different.

The Zhou family has a total of more than 20 such escort teams, each team of about 20 people, who take turns patrolling the mansion day and night to prevent thieves from sneaking in.

Even in the dark, there are elders who have cultivated to the true yuan, paying attention to the movements in the mansion day and night.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Chen entered the mansion, a team of guards rushed up and surrounded him.

"Young Master Zhou Chen!"

A team of guards, originally aggressive, the Tiege spear in their hands has been split in half, wanting to take down the intruder, if they resist, they will be killed directly on the spot, but when they see the appearance of the intruder, they immediately withdraw their weapons and stand in line.

Then, a leader of the guards, dressed in black armor and with a sword at his waist, stepped out.

"Uncle Twelve, I didn't expect so many people to welcome me when I just came back from the Black Wind Mountains. ”

Looking at the comer, Zhou Chen smiled and said.

The Zhou family has a total of twenty-three escort teams, and the names of the leaders are from Zhou Weiyi to Zhou Wei Twenty-three.

Most of these people are the children of the Zhou family and have the blood of the Zhou family, and a small number of people, although they do not have the blood of the Zhou family, they also have an extraordinary relationship with the Zhou family.

For example, the twelfth uncle in front of Zhou Chen is the same group of children his father knew when he entered the Qingyun Sect, and the relationship between the two in the sect is also very good, and they often take tasks together and form a deep friendship.

However, he was seriously injured during a mission, which damaged the foundation, and Xiu Wei fell directly from the True Yuan level, and finally had to leave the Qingyun Sect and ended up gloomy.

This twelfth uncle's cultivation talent was originally not much weaker than his father's, but he suddenly cut off the path of martial arts, which was a very big blow to him, and at that time, his heart was like ashes, like a walking corpse.

In the end, somehow, he came to Zhou's house as the leader of a guard, and waited for death to eat.

However, nearly twenty years have passed, and the twelfth uncle has already seen it, married a woman from the Zhou family, spread his branches, and completely regarded himself as a member of the Zhou family.

"Xiaochen, you are finally back, there have been demonic demons near Blue River City and the Black Wind Mountain Range recently, if you don't come back, your father will send someone to the Black Wind Mountain Range to look for you. ”

When it came to the Demon Dao Demon, Uncle Twelve's face showed a strong hatred.

It was during a mission to encircle and suppress the demons that he was injured by the demons and cut off the path of martial arts.

"There are also demonic demon activities near Blue River City?"

Zhou Chen's face became a little solemn, he had fought with the Ghost Bone Sect head-on.

And the feminine young man who died in his hands seems to have a background in the Ghost Bone Sect, and the demonic methods are extremely weird, and the ghost knows if they have any stage to track him down.

"I know, I'm going to go to my father to report safety. ”

Zhou Chen nodded, but he thought in his heart that he had to tell his father about this matter and make preparations in advance.

If the Demon Dao Demon really has some special means to chase him down, he won't be caught off guard.

At this time, Zhou Longyue, who was the head of the family, was still handling clan affairs in the council hall.

A few days ago, a ranger broke into a remote mountain village in the area of Blue River City, only to find that all the people in this village had been slaughtered, and these people died very strangely one by one, one by one, like dried corpses, all the blood was sucked dry.

This incident immediately alarmed the major forces in Lanjiang City, and sent people to investigate, and it was found that several remote mountain villages were also slaughtered, and the death toll reached tens of thousands, which made the major forces faintly feel a little bad.

The Blue River City Lord immediately reported the matter, and after investigation, he learned that it was the Demon Dao Sect Ghost Bone Sect that appeared.

Then, the official forces led by the Shangyang County Shou, as well as the Jianghu sect forces led by the Qingyun Sect, as well as the major local scholar clans, all sent people to assist in the investigation and clean up the demons.

From this point of view, the Demon Dao Demon is indeed a character that everyone shouts about.

Even so, there are still villages and towns in the area of Lanjiang City that have been slaughtered one after another, and the Demon Dao Sect that has been found out is far more than the Ghost Bone Sect, at least seven or eight Demon Dao Sects are involved, and the bull ghosts, snakes, and gods have all jumped out.

Zhou Longyue has a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

"Father, I'm back, and I've been able to do it. ”

At this time, Zhou Chen walked in from outside and saw Zhou Longyue with a sad face.

However, after hearing that he had made a breakthrough in cultivation, a smile also appeared on the latter's face, "Very good, you have your mother's bloodline, your talent and qualifications are much better than mine, you can condense your qi at the age of sixteen, and it is not a big problem to enter the Qingyun Sect through trials." ”

"In a few days, you and the rest of the younger generations of your family will go to Shangyang County to participate in the Qingyun Sect trial!"

"Isn't it going to take more than two months for the Qingyun Sect trial?"

Zhou Chen faintly heard a hint of bad breath, from Lanjiang City to Shangyang County City, ordinary carriages are rushing, that is, seven or eight days away, if you ride a fast horse, that is, three or four days, there is no advance at all.

"Don't speculate, this is the result of a joint discussion between the City Lord's Mansion and the heads of the three major families, as well as the leaders of the two major gangs. Zhou Longyue said: "Since the Demon Dao Sect has appeared near Lanjiang City, it will definitely become the focus here, but there may not be a big war in the short term, so let you go to Shangyang County City in advance, just in case." ”

"Once a big war breaks out, after knowing that something can't be done, I will definitely evacuate as soon as possible. ”

"I see. Zhou Chen nodded.

If the time comes, if the Great War of Righteous Demons really breaks out near Lanjiang City, Lanjiang City will definitely be impacted and become the target of the Demon Dao Sect's attack.

Anyway, with his father's strength, he was no worse than the elders in those sects.

If the Great War of Righteousness and Demons really breaks out, as long as you don't fight to the end, it will be easy to escape.

If he forcibly stays, his father will have to protect him at that time, and he will become timid, which will become a drag.
