Chapter 65: Out of the City
On the other side of the shield, several larger devourers were biting at each other.
Their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the only means of attack is to bite, but obviously their bite force is not enough at all, and it is extremely difficult to bite up, and the originally beautiful big tail hangs weakly on the ground, and the fluff on it is stuck with dirt, and it no longer looks fluffy.
Because the attack power is too poor, and the fur is thick, after so long of biting, none of them have died, but each of them has wounds on their bodies, panting weakly.
Ye Yousheng held the hilt of his sword in his hand, pursed his lips, and subconsciously looked at the demon devourer with the longest tail, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw its white and transparent pupils.
That white was more beautiful than any snow scene he had ever seen before, but it didn't make people feel cold, it was obviously a monster called "ferocious", but Ye Yousheng inexplicably felt a familiar breath from its eyes, and his ears seemed to be able to hear the sound of the tide flowing in his heart.
The devouring demon only stared at him for a short moment, and then lowered his head, looking at the few little devourers who were sucking the liquid in his broken horn, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
It raised its head and screamed, and its long tail also "snorted" up, and the fluff began to fall from the tip of its tail, raising one after another, gradually covering its body.
After doing this, the devouring demon lost its strength, and its body fell heavily, and its white eyes looked over everyone in front of it, and then at the surviving kindred, and then slowly closed.
A crisp bell rings.
There was a sudden silence in the palace, and all the people were facing the stairs and bowed their heads reverently.
Ye Yousheng vigilantly retreated to the back of the crowd, ready to leave the palace as soon as he found out that something was wrong.
A woman dressed in white veil walked down the stairs step by step, holding a string of silver bells in her hand, shaking them gently, and her tongue "tinkling" with her movements, and the aftermath was long.
"The young sect master's old illness has attacked, and the sect master needs to temporarily close the Sun Covering Sect to heal the young sect master, and I am tired of you leaving the Sun Covering Sect first during this time." The woman said, making a "please" gesture.
When everyone heard her words, they knelt down again and kowtowed heavily in the same direction. After everyone stood up, a questioning voice came from the crowd: "Envoy, I wonder if the grand ceremony can still be held as scheduled?" ”
"Nature." After saying this, the woman rang the bell again and went up the stairs and left the hall on the first floor.
Ye Yousheng always put his hand on the sword and left the palace with the crowd.
After waiting at the door for a while, he saw Shen Yingyao who hurried out.
As soon as Shen Yingyao saw him, he hurriedly pulled him to the corner of the street: "What's the situation?" I suddenly saw a woman come out, and people called her the messenger, and then they said that their young sect master had an old illness and wanted to close the Sun Concealment Sect, so I came out with the others. ”
"Well, that's the same with our layer." Ye Yousheng nodded.
He remembered the demon devourer he had just seen, hesitated for a moment, and asked Shen Yingyao, "Did you see any strange activities on the second floor?" ”
"Strange activity?" Shen Yingyao thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, "No." ”
Seeing that Ye Yousheng was silent, he asked again: "Now that the Sun Concealment Sect can't enter for the time being, and the tower is not easy to look for again, what are you going to do?" ”
"The other monks who came to the competition must be thinking of a way now, let's not act today, and wait tomorrow to see if anyone makes a move."
"Okay." Shen Yingyao has no opinion.
The two were about to leave, but they saw Zhou Zhirong running out of the Sun Covering Sect in a panic, and after seeing the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Little brother, it turns out that you are here, but let me find it easily." ”
"Senior Zhou, what happened?" Ye Yousheng made a puzzled look.
Zhou Zhirong let out a long sigh: "It's the young sect master...... The young sect master has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he needs to recuperate every time he has an attack, so the sect master can only make this decision. ”
He looked at the two apologetically: "I'm really sorry, let the little brother be frightened,"
Ye Yousheng waved his hand: "I just think that the matter of the Sun Covering Sect is very novel, so I asked like this." ”
"I don't blame you, I couldn't believe it when I first found out." Zhou Zhirong said helplessly, "Originally, the condition of the young sect master had been stabilized before, but this time it suddenly had a seizure before the grand ceremony, which is really not a good sign. ”
"Is the young sect master's illness serious? Can't the suzerain be cured? Ye Yousheng asked along with his words.
"It is said that it is the illness brought out by the young sect master from the mother's womb, this is the sadness of the sect master, and we are not good at the premise of the sect master." Zhou Zhirong had a genuine sadness on his face, but he seemed to consider that there were still guests, so he suddenly became enthusiastic again, "Don't talk about this, little brother." What else do you want to see, I'll take you to see it again? ”
Suddenly, two familiar figures dressed in white gauze flashed across the street, and Ye Yousheng recognized one of them as the "Messenger Lord" who had just rattled the bell on the first floor.
Zhou Zhirong also saw it, and proudly introduced to Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao: "This is the messenger chosen by our sect master to convey his meaning, and you have seen it just now. However, as long as you see them outside of the Occult Sun Sect, you don't have to salute them, and all of us will only be as solemn as before when facing the affairs of the Sect Master. ”
"Their house is not far from ours, and when I go to ask them later, I can introduce you to each other, so that when you join the Sun Concealment Sect, you will have a better chance of meeting the sect master than others. However, the young sect master can't see her, only the young sect master's maids can see her. ”
"And what shall we call them?" Ye Yousheng asked.
"The two of them are sisters, the elder sister's name is Zheng Yunmin, and the younger sister's name is Zheng Yunwan, we usually call their names, see how convenient the little brother is." Zhou Zhirong was empathetic.
"Thank you for telling me." Ye Yousheng bowed to Zhou Zhirong.
No matter what the other people here are, at least Zhou Zhirong has never harmed him since they first met, and he has been explaining some of the situations here to him. Otherwise, he would have come to the Sun Sect alone and not know anything, and the situation would be very passive at that time.
"Speaking of which...... Zhou seniors. Demon Devouring ......" Ye Yousheng hesitated, wanting to ask Zhou Zhirong more about Demon Devouring next week.
As a result, as soon as Zhou Zhirong heard him say that he devoured demons, he immediately patted his head and said with annoyance: "Oops, how could I forget this, fortunately, little brother, you reminded me!" ”
“?”
"The demon devouring needs for this grand ceremony has not yet been selected, and the sect can't enter it for the time being, so it can only rearrange the venue outside to screen the devouring demons." Saying that, Zhou Zhirong looked distressed, "The sect master handed over this matter to me, I still have to find a way to find another twenty demon devourers, and if I want to devour demons, I have to go to the city to find ......."
Ye Yousheng was about to speak, but Shen Yingyao on the side said first: "That's right, let's ...... The two of us brothers are going to go out of the city, and our seniors can tell us where the devouring demons live, and we will help our seniors catch them. ”
When Zhou Zhirong heard this, he immediately grabbed Shen Yingyao's hand in surprise: "Thank you so much for this little brother!" ”
He took out a map from his bosom and handed it to Shen Yingyao: "There is a mark on the map, and the demon devourer lives in that place. But you have to be careful, although the Demon Eater has no attack power alone, if the terrain is suitable and there are a large number of them, it will be extremely difficult to deal with. ”
"We'll take notice." Shen Yingyao took the map.
Ye Yousheng looked at him speechlessly, but because Zhou Zhirong was still there, he had to wait until they said goodbye to Zhou Zhirong and walked out of the city before he said slowly: "Do you know what a demon devourer is?" ”
Shen Yingyao was puzzled: "Of course I don't know, have you seen it?" ”
Ye Yousheng organized the language and described the scene he had seen on the first floor of the palace to Shen Yingyao.
Shen Yingyao frowned: "It's really a bit strange to say this. It's been said that the demon devourer is ferocious, but a single one has no attack power. So how are their groups threatening, purely by numbers? ”
Ye Yousheng shook his head: "Now everything we know is just from them, and we still have to wait until we see the Demon Devourer to know what the truth is." ”
"Well, anyway, the two of us will shoot together, and we won't have any problem catching all the demon devourers they mortals can catch?" Shen Yingyao said.
Ye Yousheng looked at Shen Yingyao in confusion: "You really want to catch the demon devouring and come back?" I thought you just wanted to take this opportunity to look for clues to the flag elsewhere in the secret realm. ”
Shen Yingyao looked even more confused than him: "Is there anything wrong with this?" If we can help them do this, they will definitely trust us more and it will be more beneficial for us to get closer to the Tower. When the time comes, the other monks will have to figure out how to bring the flag to the tower, and we can rely on the trust of the Sect Master of the Sun Covering Sect to seal the tower, strengthen the defense, and keep the tower under control. ”
"......" Ye Yousheng finally realized that Shen Yingyao and him had never thought from a different angle.
Although from the description of the senior sister, he knew that Shen Yingyao had been suppressed by Shen Hezheng in the Qianyuan Sect, and Shen Qifeng would never tell Shen Yingyao many core contents. But it is undeniable that Shen Yingyao has lived to the present day in the name of the first major sect master in Xingzhou since he can remember.
Even if he didn't cultivate him separately, what he saw and thought was determined from the perspective of a future sect ruler.
Ye Yousheng should have turned around and left.
Anyway, he and Shen Yingyao were not familiar with each other, and now they are acting together, and it is because they are inexplicably treated as brothers that they are forced to be bound together in front of Zhou Zhirong.
Isn't it normal to leave the city of the sun now and say goodbye to it?
