Chapter 194: Cremation
Today's Blackwater City, where the prosperity of a year ago is no longer gone, all the way. Xu Wenbao Yiyi: "Seeing the city guards under martial law, and the quality mercenaries who are dressed in civilian clothes but have good cultivation, they are really three steps and one post, and they will not let go of any corner of the city. This is the effect of the shadow of the Dark Empire.
The army of the Dark Empire stationed hundreds of miles away. It's not something that the Qingyun Empire can resist.
Most of the people in the city have fled to other towns!
Even though they haven't dealt with the Dark Empire for many years, the Dark Empire gives the impression of being unusually brutal and exterminating.
Even Qingyun City can't be saved, let alone them?
Return to the Hortonkling family's mansion. It seems that this place has experienced a bloody battle before. Many clansmen with the Hortonkling family crest embroidered on their chests cleaned up the mess in the mansion with gloomy faces. Carry the corpses of the clansmen to the open area outside the hall. More than 160 men, women, and children were peacefully covered under a bloodstained white cloth.
"Patriarch!"
"The patriarch is back!"
The people in the mansion saw the patriarch, the elders, and the large group of clansmen returning gloomily, and only then did a slight hint of brilliance finally appear on their dead gray faces, and several servants rushed to deliver the news. From it attracted many people.
"What's going on?"
Mu Yuanshan's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, although he had already guessed what was going on in the city, he was still a little incredulous.
In the case of Blackwater City entering the highest state of alert, the foundation of the Hortonkling family has still been dealt a heavy blow, and the casualties are so heavy,,
At this time, a deacon came up and answered:
"Patriarch, not long after you left, a group of mercenaries came to the mansion, arrested people everywhere, forced our stewards, and inquired about the Emperor's books and the hiding place of our family's treasury. ”
"Sure enough, it's a gang!" Mu Yuanshan gritted his teeth fiercely, glanced at the corpses displayed outside the hall painfully, burst into tears, and paused:
"This revenge must be avenged!"
"Come on, put Elder Xu's body with everyone's, notify all the clansmen to enter the city, and hold a cremation!"
"Elder Xu?" Seeing the corpses carried in from outside the crowd, some of the people and female dependents who were driven out of the house exclaimed, "Elder Xu also sacrificed?."
As he spoke, a man flashed out of the crowd.
"What about the murderer?"
The inner deacon who was asked was stunned, and was glared at by the eyes of this young man who looked a little kind, and involuntarily pointed to the north, and replied, "Out." Out of the city, someone shouted, "Someone has an accident, go away" and then all of them ran away, and the city lord sent some people to follow them. After speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Xu Wen in disbelief, and a name was about to come out.
Xu Wen ignored the other party's denial of himself.
The tragedy of the Horton Kling family, the death of Elder Xu. It's like a series of heavy blows, Xu Wen knows that it's all because of a magic heart. and the bad luck brought by the exaggerated speed of promotion. It's just that these damned people, because of his disappearance, have shifted their eyes to the Horton Clinton family.
The mind moved.
The Black Wind Eagle flapped its wings and quickly lifted off from the mansion under the shocked gazes of countless people, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared.
In the crowd of six-star high-level contract beasts, four teachers from Qingyun Academy looked at each other in shock.
At a young age,
Eight-star cultivator, proficient in fire magic, undead summoning magic, and at the same time a six-star beast trainer, if he hadn't learned undead magic, he would definitely be the youngest genius in the Qingyun Empire and even the Soul Continent!
Pity!
When the four of them sighed, Xu Wen's voice sounded, with a heavy and suppressed coldness, which came into everyone's ears:
"Those people should have gone in the direction of the Blackwater Mountain Range, either staggered with us, or have already followed us back to Blackwater City, but no matter what, they should already know that their people have been completely wiped out by us, and they should be reined in a short time, and they will not show up until the situation on our side is determined. ”
"Too much deception!"
Mu Yuanshan's eyes almost burned. Gritting his teeth, he spat out, "Kill my people." Dare to swagger back, come here! Contact the city lord immediately and ask him to dispatch all the people above the six-star level
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Wen:
"No!" the tone was categorical.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Wen.
Mu Yuanshan's face also changed, as if he thought of something, and said busily: "No, this is Blackwater City, you can't use that kind of magic in front of so many people." Although he knew Xu Wen's strength. But I also know the power of Xu Wen alone. Without the help of necromancy, it is certainly impossible to fight against a group of people who are not outside.
"Rest assured. ”
Xu Wen raised his eyes, and two cold stars flashed from the depths of his eyes:
"Leave this to me, I want them to regret coming into this world. In fact, from the moment he saw Elder Xu's corpse, he regretted it very much.
I regret why I let those people die so happily
In the undead magic, there are many ways to make people unable to survive and die, but fortunately, since the person at the head is not dead, this revenge has to be avenged slowly.
Thinking of the depths, the cold breath emanated from Xu Wen unconsciously. "How do you want to do it?".
"During the extraordinary period, it is not suitable to stay in Blackwater City for a long time, so prepare for it, go outside the city to hold a cremation, and then the patriarch and elders will stay outside the city with me. ”
"Good!"
As soon as Mu Yuanshan heard it, he knew that Xu Wen was going to use himself to lure the snake out of the hole, so he nodded in agreement, and it just so happened that he also wanted to meet the leading brother of this group of people.
"I'll go with you!"
Teacher Du from Qingyun Academy stood up.
"No need, I want to ask the four teachers to stay behind and protect our clansmen of the Hortonkling family, in case these thieves are cunning and not deceived, the other clansmen may be in danger, in that case, I hope the four can assist the city guards to help entangle them as much as possible!" Xu Wen said in a calm tone, and directly handed them a task that they could not refuse.
The four of them looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
The purpose of their trip was to protect the Hortonkling family, who had suffered such heavy casualties that they could no longer do their duty. I'm afraid I won't have the shame to go back and explain to the two deans!
Xu Wen also issued a series of instructions to the clansmen of the Horton Kling family through Mu Yuan Mountain. The cremation ceremony began to be prepared actively. At the same time, a dangerous giant net slowly opened.
Two hours later, tens of thousands of Hortonkling clansmen and city guards gathered outside Blackwater City, as well as many people who rushed to mourn after hearing the news.
More than 100 corpses were densely displayed on dry firewood piles built on makeshift ramparts.
At the forefront, there is Mu Yuanshan, and a cadre of elders;
In the back, thousands of children, including the deacon, and their family members, all dressed in pigments, knelt neatly around;
Around the mournful and dreary cremation ceremony, tens of thousands of people gathered one after another to mourn, and there was an endless stream, and tens of thousands of city guards were transferred to the outermost periphery. Scanning everyone who seemed to be in the past nervously, the atmosphere of the scene was extremely solemn.
More than two hours passed.
The condolence ceremony is over,
"Fire!"
Mu Yuanshan shouted, and many people on the periphery showed surprise:
"So fast?"
"Seven days later at the latest, "That's it?" In the crowd, many people whispered.
Some of the families who have been friends with the Hortonkling family for a long time still know the situation, and they sighed when they heard this: "I heard that there are two groups of people who attacked the Hortonklin family this time, and this time they are fateful, and nothing happened to the patriarch and elders. But this place definitely can't stay any longer, Patriarch Mu has already planned to move all the people in the clan to the vicinity of Qingyun City early tomorrow morning to protect the Qingyun Academy and the six great families. ”
"Huh, what about Blackwater's industry?
"Is life important or is industry important? I heard that the people who attacked the Hortonklin family this time are all eight-star masters, and the highest Hortonklin family is only seven stars, and they are only twenty or thirty pounds small, they are already selling their industries and changing places for development, and the mounts of the Bird Station and the Carriage Station are all set, and it is estimated that after the ceremony, a group of people will leave tonight
"Tsk!"
The crowd couldn't help but be amazed again.
As soon as this topic spread, a few people were squeezed into the scattered flow of people returning to the city, pretending to talk to others. Easily blend into Blackwater City. "Shrug!"
A few people quietly climbed into the courtyard of an ordinary people's mansion from several directions, pushed the door and shouted:
"Is the situation on the second brother's side clear? How did you let these people escape? Those cowards have now begun to sell their property, and they plan to run away after the cremation! I heard that they have also hired a battalion of city guards to escort them along the way. ”
When I went in, the hall was full of dozens of people, all with cold eyes and a murderous aura.
An old red-haired man sits in the center. His face was gloomy and solemn, holding a mixed gold stick more than three meters long in one hand, and a jar of wine in the other, he poured it into his mouth.
Hear the words.
"Smack!"
The jar in his hand suddenly shattered, and the wine splashed everywhere.
The red-haired old man slapped the table angrily: "Run? Where can he run? The whereabouts of the second group of people are unknown, and they still want to escape? Lao Tzu wants the Horton Kling family to leave no chickens and dogs!"
"What? Second Brother was killed? How is it possible! Qingyun Academy sent four eight-stars, and there were more than a dozen eight-stars who raided the Seventh Medicine Peak!" The face of the person who entered the door changed, and he hurriedly rushed to the red old man and old man: "Unless the Qingyun Empire also has other horses!"
"Probably not, if there are too many enemies. We can't hide the nose of the golden net dragon lion, and in addition, our people have found a large number of undead footprints in the Blackwater Mountain Range."
As soon as the words fell, the man showed an incredible expression: "This, why is the Horton Kling family okay? Could it be that they have an affair with the Dark Empire?
"I don't think it's possible, according to my reasoning, the necromancer got into a conflict with our people, and then the people of the Horton Kling family took the opportunity to escape. ”
Speaking of this, Redbeard's face showed a look of madness: "No matter what, I want the whole family of the Horton Kling family to come and bury my brothers!"
