Chapter Seventy-One: The City Lord

Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao were sitting under a tree not far away, they hadn't recovered long from the loss of hearing just now, and there was still a little tearing pain in their ears.

"What did he just say?" Shen Yingyao looked at Ye Yousheng blankly.

He only remembered that when he saw Ye Yousheng breathing for the third time, he slashed towards the waterfall as he said, and then was pulled out by Ye Yousheng.

As soon as he returned to the flat ground, before he could stand firmly, he was stopped by Zhou Zhirong, who came out of nowhere, and said a lot.

"Hmm...... Like to say thank you?" Ye Yousheng was also a little unsure.

He looked at Zhou Zhirong's mouth at that time, and it seemed that he was saying something "hard work", "contribution" or something like that, he should have wanted to say thank you to them.

"What did they thank us?" Shen Yingyao was even more confused, "We didn't help them catch the Demon Devourer, and they found this place by themselves, we ......

His words came to an abrupt end.

The two looked at each other in silence, and suddenly realized a very serious problem.

What if the Eater's lair wasn't found by the people of the Occultation City themselves? The city of the sun has been hunting and killing demons for a long time, and since the demons have their own consciousness, they will naturally be guarded against, otherwise they will not deliberately live in the cave behind the waterfall. However, when the Demon Eater first saw the two of them, he enthusiastically took them to the hiding place, and there should be some way to distinguish them from the people of the Occult City.

In this case, the only thing Zhou Zhirong can thank them for is because only by relying on them can Zhou Zhirong and his party find here.

However, how could Zhou Zhirong know where they were?

They didn't have time to think about it, Zhou Zhirong and his party had already begun to act.

The people of Occultation City stood apart in a strange shape, Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan standing on either side of the front, and Zhou Zhirong at the end of the crowd.

Everyone stood still, clasped their hands to their chests, and closed their eyes.

Strange and familiar ballads whispered from their throats, and the tune was clearly the same as what the Demon Eaters had sung when they were in their lair, except that some of the lyrics seemed to be different.

And the demon devourers who obeyed the order of the Great Demon Devourer had already rushed out from behind the waterfall and continued to pounce towards Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao.

The Demon Eater at the front saw the people of the Occultation City, and let out a warning hiss from his mouth, trying to warn his companions not to come any closer.

However, the Great Devourer who was far away in the lair could not know what was going on here, and did not change his orders. And the demon eaters who had to obey the orders could only move on, even if they saw the danger that was imminent.

Obviously, the people in the Hidden Sun City were just mortals without spiritual power, but when they chanted songs, Ye Yousheng clearly saw that tangible spiritual power emerged from the top of their heads, and then spread out, merging with the spiritual power above the heads of others.

Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan were on either side, and the light yarn was slowly peeled off their bodies, revealing the gray dress underneath. And when the light veil floated into the air and collided with the spiritual power, they suddenly changed like clouds, enveloping the overwhelming devouring demons.

People are still chanting.

It's just that at this time, there are more screams from the screams of the devourers when they struggle.

It's just a light white veil, but people outside can't see what kind of scene is inside the covered. When the chanting and screaming ceased, blood flowed out of the cloud-like white veil, watering the land as if it were raining.

"May the splendor of the city of the Hidden Sun endure." Zhou Zhirong stood at the end of the crowd, his voice reverent.

And the people who had just been chanting knelt down in unison with his words, and kowtowed heavily to the pool of blood, allowing it to flow down the ground and on their faces, which were clinging to the ground.

Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao were shocked by these pictures in front of them and couldn't speak.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhirong began to direct the people to move all the unconscious devourers in the hands of the white gauze into the cage and load them into the car, that they withdrew their gaze with complicated expressions.

"They're not...... No

Psychic powers? How can this be done?" Shen Yingyao spoke with difficulty.

If mortals can capture these devouring demons in an instant without cultivating and just by singing, then what is the significance of him persevering as a monk until now?

"They're not like the mortals of Yangping City." Ye Yousheng frowned, "And the ballad they sang was very similar to what the Demon Devourers sang at the time. I always felt that something was strange...... It's not just the Occult City or the Demon Devourer, it's all wrong."

"They can't be of the same origin." Shen Yingyao said casually, "Maybe this ballad is a special technique in the secret realm, and as long as you chant, you can use some of the power."

He could only guess by the type of exercises he knew. And it is not that there is no such exercise in the immortal cultivation world, but under the control of the Six Dao Alliance, these exercises have been listed as *** because mortals can also use them forcibly.

But after using such a large amount of spiritual power as just now, the mortals here can still move freely as if they were all right. If this is really an exercise, then its value has far exceeded those banned exercises, and if it is known by the Six Dao Alliance, it will definitely erase all relevant information at any cost.

Shen Yingyao thought of this, but he had new doubts in his heart.

Father is the creator of this secret realm, would he not know that there is such a forbidden law in this secret realm? Although their Qianyuanzong has occupied most of the right to speak in Xingzhou, they still belong to the Six Dao Alliance, why would their father do such a thing that violates the regulations of the Six Dao Alliance?

"I'm sorry, I've kept my little brother waiting." Zhou Zhirong wiped the beads of sweat from his head and walked over to them with an apologetic smile on his face. As soon as he gave the action order, he had been helping to carry the devouring demons, and he was sweating profusely.

"It's okay, thank you Senior Zhou for coming to the rescue." Ye Yousheng hugged his fist at him.

Originally, with the strength of him and Shen Yingyao, it was impossible to split the waterfall here, but after feeling Zhou Zhirong and his party approaching, he keenly felt that the defensive barrier in an area of the waterfall had been loosened, and that place was just behind their standing. So he agreed with Shen Yingyao to cut back together to fight for a chance.

"Are you hurt in there?" Zhou Zhirong asked with concern, "Those demon eaters have always been like this, and there were also outsiders who were confused by the appearance of demon devourers in the past, thinking that they were pitiful and harmless, and finally died here. Over the years, I don't know how many people's bones have been buried under this land."

「…… What Senior Zhou means is that you have always known that there is a nest of devouring demons here? Then why are you looking for us to catch the Demon Eater?"

Zhou Zhirong shook his head: "We can only know an approximate location, but we can't be sure of the specific location. And from all the years we've seen, the Eaters can easily tell if humans are wary of them, and they will only bring humans who are bewitched by their appearance back to their lairs. So we can only wait until you have already set out for some time before coming here, so as not to disturb them."

"But it's also your own strength, and no one who has ever come here has survived until we arrived. But it's also strange, the demon eaters obviously have no attack power, how can they kill those people? It's really strange......" Zhou Zhirong muttered to himself.

"Senior Zhou, do you know that there is a Great Devouring Demon here?" Ye Yousheng tentatively pointed to the back of the waterfall.

"What Great Devourer?" Zhou Zhirong looked at Ye Yousheng suspiciously, "Haven't all the devouring demons here been caught by us?"

Ye Yousheng was subtle and silent: "There is also a big devouring demon inside, about the size of half a hill, when we see it inside, it can't move on its own, but it can attack, and its strength is expected to be ......."

He stopped here and patted Shen Yingyao with his hand: "It is expected that the strength is above him."

「?」 Shen Yingyao opened his hand with a straight face.

"Shhh...... This is difficult to do, didn't the sect master say that there is a big devouring demon here? And at this size, it's not a normal demon devourer." Zhou Zhirong said distressedly, as if he was thinking about how to solve it.

"Uncle Zhou, has something happened?" Zheng Yun not far away

Wan Gang withdrew the white yarn back to her body, and the blood stains on it had not been erased, so she draped it on her body.

Zheng Yunmin was expressionless and washed her white veil by the water, and without looking over here, Ye Yousheng found that she had an axe pinned to her waist, which looked very inconsistent with her cold temperament.

Zhou Zhirong repeated what Ye Yousheng said just now, and after Zheng Yunwan heard it, she exhaled softly in surprise: "Oh my God, is there really such a big demon devouring existence?"

Although no one answered, Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao's solemn eyes had already affirmed this fact. Zheng Yunwan frowned and bit her lower lip: "We have to go back and tell the sect master quickly, otherwise we will take these devouring demons away today, if the big devouring demon inside wants to take revenge and ruin the grand ceremony......

"Bang-"

Her words were instantly verified.

The whole hill began to shake violently, and the mountain continued to crack with the shaking, and the water from the waterfall began to splash outward. The river diverted, trees moved, and mud mixed with water and stones washed down the hill and rushed in all directions.

Zheng Yunmin, who was washing the white veil by the water, was the closest, and when he saw that he was about to be washed away by the current, his waist was suddenly entangled, and then he was pulled back suddenly.

She was held up by the anxious Zheng Yunwan, and then looked at Ye Yousheng, who had just withdrawn the rope: "Thank you."

Ye Yousheng waved his hand: "Now, let's think about how to deal with it." Z.br>

In their sight, a devourer slowly rose from the blasted hill. At some point, its body became taller than the original hill, and when it raised its head, even the sun was blocked by it, and it could only cast a shadow on the earth.

The flag sewn on it also grew larger, so that it could only struggle for a while, and then fell back to the ground, crushing the surrounding land.

Ye Yousheng couldn't deduce what level of cultivation of the Great Devouring Demon at this time was according to the standards of a monk. But he could clearly feel the threat emanating from the black mist that had always gathered in the hollows of its eye sockets.

"Don't go......," the Great Devourer collapsed weakly to the ground, repeating his previous words.

Ye Yousheng frowned, but Zhou Zhirong and the others on the side sat on the ground in horror as if they had heard some terrible words, their bodies trembling, and their eyes lost focus.

"W-How can this be the voice of the city lord?"
