Today's Blackwater City is no longer prosperous a year ago, and along the way, Xu Wen can see martial law city guards everywhere, and quality mercenaries who are dressed in plain clothes but have good cultivation, they are really three steps and one post, and they do 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 was no longer something that the Qingyun Empire could resist.

Most of the people in the city have fled to other towns!

Even though they have not 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?

The group returned to the Hortonklin family's mansion, which seemed to have experienced a bloody battle not long ago, and many clansmen with the Hortonklin family emblem embroidered on their chests cleaned up the mess in the mansion with gloomy faces, and carried the corpses of the clansmen to the open ground 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, attracting many clansmen from inside.

"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.

With Blackwater City on maximum alert, the foundation of the Hortonkling family was still dealt a heavy blow, with such heavy casualties...... 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 sadly, burst into tears, and said word by word:

"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 died?"

As he spoke, a man flashed out of the crowd.

"What about the murderer?"

The deacon of the inner gate who was asked was stunned, and was glared at by the eyes of the young man who looked a little kind, and involuntarily pointed to the north, and replied: "Out, out of the city, someone shouted at that time, 'The second child has an accident, go quickly', 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 and the death of Elder Xu were like a series of heavy blows, Xu Wen knew that it was all because of a magic experience and the bad luck brought about by the exaggerated promotion speed, but these damned people, because of his disappearance, shifted their eyes to the Horton Klinnian family.

The mind moved.

The Black Wind Eagle flapped its wings and quickly rose from the mansion under the astonished gaze of countless people, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared.

Six-star high-level contract beast?

In the crowd, four teachers from Qingyun Academy looked at each other in shock.

At a young age...... Eight-star cultivator, proficient in fire-based magic, undead summoning magic, and a six-star beast trainer...... This kid, if he hadn't learned undead magic, would definitely be the youngest genius in the Qingyun Empire, or even in 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 were almost burning, and he gritted his teeth and spat out: "Kill my clansmen, and dare to swagger back, come here!" Contact the city lord immediately and ask him to dispatch all the people above the six-star ......"

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, he also knew that with Xu Wen's strength alone, he would definitely not be able to fight against another group of people without the help of undead magic.

"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.

Regret why you 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 aura emanated from Xu Wen's body 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 firm 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 is to protect the Hortonklin family, and now that there have been such heavy casualties, if they don't fulfill their duties, I'm afraid they won't have the shame to go back and explain to the two deans!

Xu Wen issued a series of instructions to the clansmen of the Horton Kling family through Mu Yuanshan, and the cremation ceremony actively began to prepare, and at the same time, a dangerous huge 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 were Mu Yuanshan and a cadre of elders; in the back, thousands of children, including the deacon, and their family members, all dressed in pigmented clothes, 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 also transferred to the outermost periphery, scanning everyone who came and went with sabre rattling, and the atmosphere of the scene was particularly solemn.

More than two hours passed.

At the end of the condolence ceremony...... "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 Hortonklin 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, this time it is their fate, and nothing happened to the patriarch and elders, but they must not continue to stay here, and the wood patriarch has 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?"

I heard that the people who attacked the Hortonklin family this time are all eight-star masters, and the highest of the Hortonklin family is only seven stars, and there are only twenty or thirty of them, and 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 people, and easily blended into Blackwater City.

"Big brother!"

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.

A red-haired old man sitting in the center, with a gloomy and dignified face, grabbed a gold stick more than three meters long in one hand, and a jar of wine in the other, and 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 arranges other horses!"

"It shouldn't be, if there are too many enemies, they can't hide the nose of the King Kong 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!"
