Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Nine Great Clans

Thousands of soldiers lined up to greet them, the flags were long, the murderous atmosphere was thick, Li Qian got off the horse first, and walked forward on foot to show respect for the soldiers, Cheng Chao and others also dismounted and walked, Xu Yi was embarrassed to sit in a sedan chair again, so he followed on foot.

Wherever the group passed, the Terran soldiers all raised their swords and shouted in unison: "Terran wins! Terran wins!"

Xu Yi wanted to laugh a little, if the human race was really victorious, would he still need to hide behind this enchantment like a shrunken turtle to survive?

The ox cart pulling the body of the sand demon followed behind, and although the soldiers looked horrified, no one dared to exclaim, but after a short silence, the cry of the Terran Wansheng became more sincere and confident!

This is the first Sand Demon killed by the Terrans in 500 years, and perhaps the first twenty-five expeditionary forces can also kill the Sand Demon if they break out of the barrier, but they can't bring back a corpse of a Sand Demon to show off their martial prowess, because they haven't been able to come back themselves. So, this is the first time in the enchantment that the Terrans have seen the corpse of a sand demon in person after 500 years.

Five hundred years have passed, and a lot of blood and tears are gradually being forgotten, and even some ill-intentioned people are spreading conspiracy theories, spreading rumors that there are no terrible sand devils behind the barrier, and that those people are not actually killed by the sand demons on an expedition every twenty years, but by the Li clan.

None of these conspiracy theorists dare to step out of the barrier, they are just keen to spread conspiracy theories, and they don't experience them for themselves. Although the Li clan ordered a strict investigation several times, after Li Yan served as the county guard, he thought that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, so he did not punish these receivers from the other world too severely.

But today, when the corpse of the Sand Demon does appear in front of him, it is time for all conspiracy theories to be shattered.

Five battalions of 8,000 sergeants greeted each other ten miles out of Guo, which can be regarded as the highest courtesy in the East China Sea City of the Terran Race in five hundred years. Eight thousand soldiers stood solemnly in the middle of the road, shouting that the Terran Race would win, welcoming the demon slaying heroes, and also welcoming the hope of defeating the Sand Devils!

After walking ten miles, there are always deafening shouts in my ears, and everywhere Xu Yi passes, he is surrounded by respectful eyes, and it feels really good to be respected.

When he arrived at the city gate, the huge steel city gate slowly opened, and the dark and deep city gate hole appeared in front of him, Xu Yi took Luo Ming's little hand and walked in.

Suddenly, there was a deep and long bell overhead, and the two looked up, only to see a hollow in the middle of the city gate hole, which led directly to the city tower, where a huge bronze bell hung there!

"This is the bronze bell of our human race's victory, it rings for the first time in five hundred years, I can't imagine that the old man can still hear it in his lifetime, this is also stained with your light. Cheng Chao saw the two of them stop, looked up suspiciously, and stepped forward to explain.

The entrance of the city gate is very deep, and it takes a hundred steps to reach the urn city, which shows how thick the walls of Donghai City are. On the walls around the urn city, there were also standing Terran soldiers, standing solemnly and paying tribute.

When I arrived at the gate of the city of Wengcheng, I passed through here and entered the city! I saw dozens of soldiers slowly pushing open the heavy steel gate, and the city suddenly opened up!

The petals of flowers fell overhead like broken snow, and the streets were crowded with people who had come to welcome the hero, and even the rooftops were full of people. The streets are full of lights, the road is paved with red silk, the flags on both sides of the street are fluttering, people are singing and dancing, and the majestic human martial music is played to celebrate, the scene is extremely magnificent and grand!

Several sergeants led a few horses and asked Li Qian, Cheng Chao, Xu Yi, and Luo Ming to get on the horses, and the rest of them were on foot, and a straight road led straight to Baiyang Mountain in the city.

Ten miles in the city to greet them, the crowd of onlookers saw the body and head of the sand devil, they all let out bursts of exclamations and admiration, they did not have the military discipline of the army, and they were exclaimed one after another for a while, and discussions arose.

"Oh, that sand devil's head is so big, bigger than my water tank!

"My God, there are sharp stabbing blades on that tail, and I am afraid that my life will be lost when I am swept by this tail. ”

"This sand demon is so strong and fierce, there are scales on his body, thick like armor, it is simply invulnerable, I heard that this sand demon man still has spiritual power, and I don't know how our demon killer took off his head!"

"I heard that he is a gold-based spirit, hey, how can I use the spirit observation technique to see, he only has the spiritual power of the first spirit level?"

Hearing the discussion, Cheng Chao turned his head a little puzzled and asked Xu Yi, "Why are you still using hidden spirit techniques to hide your spiritual power?"

Xu Yi frequently raised his hand to the cheering crowd while smiling, and said in a low voice: "Be low-key, don't be so public." ”

Cheng Chao's old face sank, and he couldn't see where you were low-key, and frowned at the moment: "You have to let go of your spiritual power, if you give everyone an illusion, a primordial spirit level can easily kill a sand demon, I'm afraid that some curious people will go out of the enchantment to take risks tonight! If you cause any unnecessary harm, you will be the one who harms you." ”

Xu Yi frowned and said, "Even if I let go of the spiritual power, it is only the spiritual power of the Xuan Ling level, so you are not afraid of the Xuan Ling-level spirit person going out of the enchantment adventure?"

Cheng Chao was also speechless for a while, Xu Yi laughed and said: "It's okay old Cheng, no one can stop the person who wants to die." ”

The ten-mile road finally came to an end, and when I came to the mountain gate of Baiyang Mountain, I saw hundreds of people wearing Donghai County official uniforms standing here.

"It's all officials from all levels of government offices in Tokai County, and they're all here to greet us. Cheng Chao introduced: "The elders of the nine major clans of the human race have also arrived, and I can't see that you, the demon slaying hero, are really a sensation in the city." ”

"What are the nine major clans?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"The nine major clans of the human race, in a war five hundred years ago, except for the Li clan, the remaining eight clans were all wiped out. After retreating to Donghai County, the Li clan re-established eight other clans, all of which made contributions during the retreat campaign. Cheng Chao said slowly.

"Oh, your Cheng clan has the credit for preserving the Terran Inheritance Book, naturally one of them, what about the other seven clans, and what is the credit?" Xu Yi asked.

"Among the remaining seven clans, ranked below the Li clan and my Cheng clan, the third place is the Donghai Zhao clan, the Donghai Zhao clan was originally the largest clan in Donghai County, when the thirty-six counties of the human race fell one after another, Donghai County supported to the end, one is the most remote Donghai County, and the other is the Donghai Zhao clan has meritorious service, so their Zhao clan is deeply rooted in Donghai County, and the people are prosperous, and it is the third largest clan. ”

Xu Yi snorted and said secretly: "I see, this Zhao clan is the original head snake of Donghai County." ”

Cheng Chao continued: "The fourth major clan is the Cheng clan of the East China Sea, and Cheng Xu, the commander of the martial arts, is a member of the Cheng clan. At that time, the Cheng clan was the subordinate clan of the Li clan, and the guards of the Li clan in the past dynasties were all from the Cheng clan, and the Li clan and the Cheng clan had the deepest in-laws, so the Cheng clan was the fourth largest clan in the East China Sea. When they retreated to Donghai County, the Cheng clan had been loyally guarding the Li clan, and they had suffered countless casualties for this, so they were named the fourth largest clan. ”

Xu Yi secretly slandered himself: "This Cheng family is the Li family's follower, or the family of children." Well, desperately defending the leader is also a great achievement. ”

"The fifth clan is the Duan clan of the East China Sea, the Duan clan was in charge of the retreat in the battle, and it was the last clan to retreat into the enchantment. ”

Xu Yi shook his head secretly: "The heroic clan that fought bravely until the last moment is actually only ranked fifth, and there must be many people in their clan who are not convinced." ”

Cheng Chao continued: "The sixth clan is the Huang clan of the East China Sea, when the retreat was carried out, the Huang clan was responsible for covering the left flank, and there were only eighteen people left in the whole clan, and it was also one of the three major clans that finally retreated into the enchantment. ”

Xu Yi thought secretly: "The clans that really have military merits are all ranked behind." ”

Cheng Chao said again: "The seventh clan is the East China Sea Yan Clan, the Chang Clan was responsible for resisting the Sand Demon on the right flank in the retreat battle that year, and it was also one of the last three clans to retreat into the enchantment. ”

"The eighth is the Donghai Huan clan, the Huan clan was responsible for leading the civilians to evacuate, and the children of the clan have very strong civil affairs ability, and now half of the civil affairs officials in Donghai County are from the Huan clan. ”

Xu Yi sighed: "This Huan clan is in charge of internal affairs." ”

Cheng Chao finally said: "The ninth place is the Donghai Bai clan, the Bai clan was responsible for transporting materials in the retreat battle back then, and rushed out many useful things, including the victory bronze bell just now, which was rushed out by their clan. ”

Xu Yi was a little speechless, Cheng's carrying the books came out, and it can be said that he preserved the fire of civilization for the human race, what is the significance of this Bai's moving and breaking the bell?

While speaking, the group arrived in front of the mountain gate, Li Qian dismounted first, and the next three people also dismounted.

Sure enough, I saw the patriarchs of the eight major clans standing at the front of the greeting procession, each wearing a different color of robes, and the shoulders of the robes were embroidered with the emblems of their respective clans. The emblem of the Li clan of the East China Sea is the emblem of the double sword, which looks very majestic, the clan emblem of the Cheng clan of the East China Sea, the emblem of the Shuanghua emblem, the emblem of the Zhao clan of the East China Sea City is the double bird emblem, the emblem of the Cheng clan of the East China Sea is the double axe emblem, the Dong Hai Duan clan is the double gun emblem, the Huang clan of the East China Sea is the double sword emblem, the Dong Hai Chang clan is the double bow emblem, the Dong Hai Huan clan is the double fish emblem, and the Dong Hai Bai clan is the double tree emblem.

The emblems of these nine clans are all graphic emblems, Xu Yi unconsciously looked at the pair of happy character emblems embroidered on his shoulders, and couldn't help but feel a little second.

The patriarch of the Li clan, Li Xuan, was the county guard, and he was waiting for Li Qian and others to go up to the tower under the Baiyang Tower, so he was not in the Li clan, and it was the five elders of the Li clan who came to greet him instead.

Li Qian first introduced Xu Yi to him, and the five elders of the Li family are all over the age, and their generations are all Li Yan's uncles and grandfathers.

I saw that Li Zhen introduced the first elder, and I saw that although his hair was white, his face was full of red, and he was Li Zhen, the head of the five elders of the Li family. Behind him was an old man with age spots on his face, Li Huang, one of the five elders. After that, there are five very high antiques of Li Xun, Li Yu, and Li Yu.
