"Fluttershy, you see there are enough people in Crane Ridge City. Xiao Che chewed a rock sugar gourd in his mouth and said to Zhou Xiaodie indistinctly.

"Okay, swallow it quickly, if the people of Xuanfu see it, I don't know how surprised I am. Zhou Xiaodie and Xiao Che came to Heling City, and the two talked and laughed all the way.

Although the popularity of this Heling City is as strong as that of the city of the Qingxuan Empire, the customs are very different.

For some reason, the people of Heling City especially have a sweet tooth. The climate here is not pleasant, as if there is no spring and autumn. Before winter, the weather here is a little cooler. Winter has just passed, and it seems that it has not yet returned to its strength, and it has already entered summer.

Now the Qingxuan Empire is just after spring, and in early summer, the climate of Heling City is quite hot.

However, when the cultivation has reached the realm of Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie, the temperature in this climate will no longer make the two of them feel uncomfortable.

Because of the absorption of aura, the warrior can keep the body at a constant temperature. However, the feeling for the four seasons is also quite strong.

Ordinary natural disasters can hardly affect them anymore. However, not all Scourge warriors can resist it. For example, the beast tide and the plague are the most troublesome things for the warriors.

The formation of animal tides is mainly caused by excessive reproduction. Therefore, neither the human race nor the demon beast is forbidden to hunt wild beasts.

However, these are all within a controllable range, and in addition to those top king families in the demon beast world, there are more demon beasts cultivated by beasts. But it's easy to say, in fact, it is quite difficult to turn from a beast into a demon beast.

That's only a 1 in 1,000 chance. Fortunately, the number of beasts is huge, so there are quite a lot of demon beasts that can be generated.

The strength of these demon beasts is generally low, and it is lucky to be able to cultivate to the Venerable Realm. It is rare for a demon beast born of an ordinary beast to be able to cultivate to the Supreme Realm. But it's not nothing, it's just that there are very few of them.

But it is because of them that there is now a habitat for wild beasts.

Beasts and monsters are essentially the same, with one difference, that is, monsters have intelligence, while beasts don't.

It is said that the ancestral dragon was somehow divided into three, and it formed the current demon beast, the sea clan and the beast. Strictly speaking, dragons are also considered demon beasts. And it's also an anti-heaven race in the demon beast world.

Speaking of which, dragons and demons are somewhat similar. They are all Xuantian Realm, the highest beings. If it is about the life level, the life level of the four elephant beasts such as the dragon clan is higher than that of the demon race.

However, these four elephant beasts do not exist in the Xuantian Realm, and they all inhabit the Divine Realm.

But there are demon beasts in the Xuantian Realm that are close to their blood, and those are all the king families here.

With an identity like Xiong Zhen, if he was in the God Realm, even the Demon Clan would not dare to attack him at will, but this is not the God Realm. Xiong Zhen's cat-bear body couldn't save him. And once it is known by the demons, I am afraid that I will destroy Xiong Zhen as soon as possible.

After all, once Xiong Zhen grows up, he is a god who is a certainty.

From the moment he set foot in Heling City, Xiao Che could feel that the water element and fire element here were stronger than ordinary cities. In other words, if you are a martial artist with water attributes and fire attributes, you can be said to be blessed with a unique advantage to cultivate in Heling City.

This special situation has also caused most of the martial artists in Heling City to cultivate fire attribute exercises or water attribute exercises.

Generally speaking, martial artists who practice water-attribute exercises have a mild personality, while martial artists who practice fire-attribute exercises have a short temper. However, this is not absolute. If the cultivation is high enough, then the mind will also change.

Xiao Che is considered an acquired martial artist with all attributes, of course, this is all thanks to Xiao Che's cultivation technique "Devouring God Decision". Therefore, as long as it is energy, no matter what attribute it is, it can be absorbed by Xiao Che.

What's more, now that Xiao Yuan has woken up, he can purify the aura absorbed by himself and Xiao Che, and then feed it back to Xiao Che. This is also Xiao Yuan's innate ability.

Xiao Che was a little envious of this, if Xiao Che himself had Xiao Yuan's ability, it would definitely be able to make him go faster on the road of martial arts.

Xiao Yuan and Zhou Xiaodie laughed at him for being too greedy.

Xiao Che himself knew that it was just a joke.

Although the human race has now stopped the national war of hostile countries in order to deal with the demons, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, and there is no exception.

No, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie were wandering around the commercial center of Heling City, and suddenly a group of thugs came and drove away these merchants, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie didn't know what happened, they didn't take the initiative to come out, but left with the flow of people.

But soon another group of people came, and without saying a word, they came up and fought with the previous thugs.

Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie are inexplicable.

Fortunately, there were people in the crowd who knew why. Xiao Che asked them. After everyone put it together, Xiao Che finally understood what happened.

This has to start with the withdrawal of troops. After the war with the Qingxuan Empire ended, the Aemon Empire withdrew the troops originally stationed here to the country. However, not all of them were withdrawn, after all, such a large amount of supplies were left behind, and it would not be safe without the protection of the army.

So he left behind an army of 100,000 men.

These armies are responsible for guarding this batch of materials, and the Heling City Lord's Mansion is responsible for foreign trade, so the contradiction will come out. The local forces related to the City Lord's Mansion of Heling City all want a piece of the pie, but the army does not agree.

At this moment, the conflict between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, and even the City Lord's Mansion of Heling City can't manage it.

The army gave nothing more than the necessary share of the sales to Heling City every month, and the army itself sold it at a lower price.

Therefore, there is a huge contradiction between the two sides. In any case, the army is an external force after all, and as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Even if the strength of the army is really stronger than that of the Heling City Lord's Mansion, it is impossible to raise troops to attack, if that is the case, it will be a rebellion. Some of the soldiers sent by the army to sell are soldiers, and some are gangsters recruited locally, and of course the Heling City Lord's Mansion will not use its own people to fight the army, and the Heling City Lord is using the local big families and Jianghu forces. Truth be told, it's a two-way game.

Each other is tacitly acquiesced. This time, it was the people from the army who were doing business here before, and the thugs who rushed over later were instructed by the Heling City Lord's Mansion.

This is not to say that the people in the army are inferior to the people in Heling City. It's just that although the people in the army are strong, they are also relatively well-behaved. And the people in the Heling City Lord's Mansion are not so well-behaved.

As the head snake here, they naturally use whatever tricks they use, and they don't think it's a big deal. As long as you don't make trouble, you can toss it casually.

Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie learned about the cause and effect, and they were bored.

This was supposed to be a mutually beneficial thing. Letting them do this is now a mutual disservice.

Although Xiao Che didn't tell others about his visit this time, he also had a plan, and wherever he went, Xuanfu blossomed everywhere.

No matter what, the Xuan Mansion could not be confined to the Qingxuan Empire.

A force like Xuanfu can only be safe enough if it is strong. If it is confined to one country and one region, it will still not escape the fate of destruction in the end. Xiao Che had been planning for the future of the Xuanfu for a long time.

He had to be like this, the Xuanfu expanded at such a speed and trend, and one day it would be tolerated by others, and if he couldn't protect himself, it would be meaningless. Xiao Che only hopes that his brothers can be safe. Qishu.com

It turned out that when Xiao Che was alone, he also laughed at those big power leaders, thinking that they lived too restrictively, but now when it was time for him, he really understood the difficulties. Sometimes it's not like you can't do it if you don't want to. After all, there are so many brothers and sisters who follow them to live. That's too much of a responsibility. Like Xiao Che, the reason why he is willing to give up power is also for the sake of his brothers.

Xiao Che has no desire for power, and he doesn't even like to take care of things, looking at the growth trajectory of Xuanfu, Xiao Che only gave a clear development direction during the critical period of Xuanfu's development.

In fact, Xiao Che is not involved in the specific affairs of the Xuan Mansion.

Although this caused the decentralization of power in the Xuanfu, it also made everyone's Tangkou develop quite strongly. This is directly related to the person in charge of each parishion. These people are able to bring out their strengths to the fullest.

Even now, these leaders have not left behind military studies, these are things that are integrated into their bones.

Even if Liu Xuan, Fu Hui, Duan Qiu and several of their female leaders are in charge of the supervision, if they are allowed to lead the army to the expedition now, they can do it at any time.

There may only be Zhou Xiaodie in this, Wen Ren is quiet, and Qing Xuan Ling'er can't lead the army to fight.

Xiao Che didn't want to get involved in the mess of Heling City, so before he left, he contacted the nearest person from Xuanfu and brought news to Xue Wuxian to let him develop Tianyan here.

Xue Wuxian soon received a letter from Xiao Che, and without saying a word, he immediately set up a special team and went to Heling City. In addition, more and more people are being dispatched, and there is a great tendency to gather here.

Xue Wuxian also very much agrees with Xiao Che's concept. Naturally, he will fully cooperate. This thing has been done, and the biggest benefit is the snow without a trace of the eye of the sky. If all the spies of the Heavenly Eye can be installed everywhere Xiao Che goes, then it is conceivable how strong the strength of the Heavenly Eye will be, and in the long run, it will definitely be able to overpower the Eagle Eye of the Qingxuan Empire. Although Hawkeye is powerful, it is because of the endorsement of the Qingxuan Empire. The professionalism and martial arts cultivation of its personnel are stronger than those of Tianyan. What Tianyan has to do now is to surpass Hawkeye in terms of coverage and detail.

Some things seem difficult, but if you keep doing them, you will find that they are not as difficult as you imagined.

Now most of the income of Mofei's department is used to develop Tianyan. Fortunately, each hall in the Xuanfu has its own source of income, and self-sufficiency is definitely not a problem.

Even Duan Qiu's supervision department of the three of them has its own means of collecting money. In fact, they were able to gain a lot of benefits from each assessment of various places in the Xuanfu.

Moreover, Duan Qiu and the three of them also started the auction business through the strength of the Xuanfu sources. And it's done well.

Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie originally planned to leave Heling City the next day. However, disaster struck suddenly, forcing them to stay in the city for the time being.

As twilight fell, Heling City soon entered the night. At night, Heling City is not brightly lit, only the streets of the main city are flickering with uneven lights, and there are few people coming and going. Originally, this was just a small border city, with a population of only more than 300,000, if it weren't for the fact that this was the base camp of the battlefield front line with the Qingxuan Empire, it would not have developed so rapidly in such a short period of time.

Although it is only a few short months, the foreign population of Heling City greatly exceeds that of the locals, and now Heling City does not count the 100,000 officers and soldiers stationed here, and the pure foreign population is as much as 500,000, which makes the small city that was originally only more than 300,000 people suddenly become crowded. These days, Heling City seems to have been built on the ground by hundreds of thousands of houses overnight.

The city had expanded fivefold, and the Lord of Heling was very happy on the one hand, but also very distressed on the other. After all, the more people there are, the more right and wrong. Although the main cultivation of Heling City is good, it is enough to have a supreme realm. But in the face of so many foreign business trips, he is also a little powerless in management.

After all, the original Heling City only existed as a border fortress of the Aemon Empire, and the reason why a Supreme Realm Yipin was sent here as the city lord was to guard the border pass.

This city lord's cultivation arrangement here is the best, and the Supreme Realm is enough to settle most of the matters. And if there is a change in the border, even if he can't resist with the strength of his Supreme Realm, he can report the complete news back to the empire.

However, this city lord's martial arts cultivation is good, but his management ability is not very strong. It would have been easy for him to manage a small city of more than 300,000 people, but now the population has tripled, close to one million, which makes it very difficult for him to manage.

Moreover, he has contradictions with the garrison generals, and he also has to arrange those foreign business trips, which can be said to make him exhausted.

He even wanted to ask the empire to send him another deputy who knew how to manage. But after thinking about it, I still didn't do it.

Although he is a cultivator of the Supreme Realm, in fact, he comes from a very ordinary background, it can be said that he is a toiling public, his parents are just ordinary people, his martial arts qualifications are mediocre, and his cultivation to death is only worthy of the Venerable Realm. However, he relied on diligence and chance all the way to cultivate to the Supreme Realm, and he had the status he has today, which makes him cherish it very much. Even his family has become a local family because of him.

But for him, he was a person with no big family background, and all the cultivation resources had to be fought for by himself. And he is the city lord here, even though it is only a small border city with a small population, the benefits he gets every year are enough for his cultivation. And in any case, as the lord of a city, he is like an emperor here. Let him enjoy it all.

It was still very reluctant for him to hand over the power of the city lord in this way.

He hasn't had a good rest these days. He knew very well that if he made a mess of Heling City, without his resignation, the empire would also replace his position.

The Emmon Empire's monitoring of the city lord was far more meticulous and strict than that of the Qingxuan Empire. There are not only secret agents, but also clear agents. The real and the false are confusing.

These twists and turns are like a mirror in his heart, but so what, as the lord of the Aemon Empire, he has to accept the supervision of the empire.

Little did he know, however, that the moment to change his fate would soon come.

The night was deep, the moonlight was much brighter than usual, and the stars were shining. What a wonderful night like this.

It was such a beautiful night, and suddenly a group of unidentified flying objects came.

The sounds of these flying objects were extremely harsh, waking everyone in the city. Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie were also woken up by the scream. They don't know what's going on. It didn't take long for the clear and bright night sky to be covered by these black flying objects, as if a black curtain was covering the moonlight and stars.

At this time, the voice became more and more harsh, and many people were distraught. Xiao Che grabbed Zhou Xiaodie's hand and ran the "God Devouring Decision" technique, absorbing these sounds into it, and Zhou Xiaodie immediately felt very comfortable.

They were the only ones in the city who were the least affected by the cacophony.

Soon the people in the city discovered that these flying objects turned out to be Blood Demon bats.

This Blood Demon Bat can be described as a strange creature. At certain times, they will attack in groups and other creatures. Knowing that these Bloodfiend bats are all dead.

At first, people thought it was some kind of curse, but later they learned that the reason why it was so was because their race exceeded a certain limit. This kind of thing is only common among the demon beast clan.

Bloodfiend bats rely on the blood of living creatures to survive. They attack creatures in order to suck blood. The most terrifying thing is the ability of the Blood Demon Bat to reproduce and how strong it is. In the Xuantian Realm, the number of Blood Demon bats has always remained around one trillion.

The Blood Demon Bat isn't a monster, but it's not a beast either. is a creature in between. They only give birth to spiritual wisdom when they have cultivated to the Supreme Realm, and spiritual wisdom will not be born under the Supreme Realm.

In other words, only the Blood Demon Bat of the Supreme Realm can be called a demon beast, while the Blood Demon Bat under the Supreme Realm can only be called a beast.

Because the Blood Demon Bat's ability to reproduce is super strong, there are quite a few Supreme Realm powerhouses born in this clan.

Xiao Che doesn't know much about the Blood Demon Bat, but he can know a lot, and this is still when he was with Xiong Zhen, listening to Xiong Zhen.

Because of the special existence of the Blood Demon Bat, when Xiong Zhen spoke at the beginning, Xiao Che wrote it down with his heart. Unexpectedly, this time he really met him.

In fact, for other creatures, the arrival of the Blood Demon Bat is a terrible disaster. Every time the Blood Demon Bat swept the world, the minimum number was millions, and the most could reach hundreds of millions.

Xiao Che saw that the starry sky was covered by blood demon bats, and this time he didn't know how many blood demon bats there were.

Xiao Che prayed in his heart that this time it was a million-level blood demon bat. Even so, Heling City may not be able to withstand it.

You must know that although the cultivation of these Blood Demon Bats is all under the Supreme Realm, the Venerable Realm and the Venerable Master Realm must be the most.

This is also the habit of the Blood Demon Bat, and those who come to send them to death are often the Blood Demon Bats that are stuck in the Honorable Master Realm and cannot break through. If it is the attack of hundreds of thousands of Honorable Master Realm powerhouses who are not afraid of death, it is terrifying to think about.
