Ten years, for immortal cultivators, it passes in the blink of an eye, and for mortals, it is from youth to adulthood, from youth to standing.

A small place like Crescent Town is also not exempt from the tempering of the years, when the town was occupied by the Blood Demon Sect, and then recaptured by the Holy Queen, although the villagers in the town are not rich, but under the management of the Sun Moon Gate, all living beings can be regarded as having a home to live in.

If it weren't for the greed of the Great Prince, if it weren't for the sadism of the Blood Demon Sect, the town ten years ago might have been able to develop into a bustling small city.

However, the world made people, and the town did not go to prosperity, but to loneliness.

Standing with his hands in his hands, Chen Yuan looked at the completely changed town in front of him, and remembered the leisure time of that year, although there was the chatter of all the female cultivators, but it was also a rare happiness and leisure after he walked to the road of cultivation.

The figure fell outside the town, and Chen Yuan walked towards the town.

Soon, the streets of the town where Chen Yuan came were few pedestrians, the houses of ten years ago were already in tatters, most of them had even collapsed, and there were still black smoke in some places, and some houses were burning in flames.

Chen Yuan naturally walked towards the house where he lived back then, before entering the cave mansion, he had lived here for a year, although he didn't have many deep memories, he learned to cook some delicious dishes here.

The house was still there and inhabited, and Chen Yuan knocked lightly on the door.

"Grandpa, those bandits are here again. You hide in the room, today I want to let them know that mortals are not easy to bully, if they are in a hurry, mortals can also let them lose three catties of meat. ”

"Xiao Mo, don't open the door. Those bandits are demons who do all kinds of evil. Your parents have died at their hands, and Grandpa can't afford to lose you anymore. ”

Chen Yuan heard the conversation in the courtyard, but he didn't leave. Instead, he stood quietly outside the gate, wondering why the Sun and Moon Gate was gone, and why Crescent Town had become what it was now.

The courtyard door was slowly opened, and what appeared in front of Chen Yuan was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, holding a spear in her hand, and her heroic posture was like a female general galloping among the thousands of armies on the battlefield.

"Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door? ”

Seeing that there were no bandits outside the door, the girl's angry face softened a little, but her tone was not good.

"Passers-by, want to beg for a bowl of water."

After Chen Yuan looked at the girl, he walked into the courtyard unceremoniously. The scene of ten years ago is vivid, but things are different, the houses are dilapidated, and the people who live there have changed.

"You're so presumptuous. My aunt didn't allow you to enter the yard. The girl seemed to be very angry, and the spear in her hand was about to stab Chen Yuan in the back.

With Chen Yuan's current strength, not to mention a mortal girl, even a cultivator of the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining would not be able to get close to him.

The breeze floated, and the girl's spear seemed to be in a quagmire, and even with all her strength, it could not move an inch.

With a shocked face, the girl knew that the young man in front of her might be a strong man, which made her afraid. She had heard that among those bandits, there were immortal cultivators.

"Little Mo, since there are guests coming, let them into the house. Don't snub your guests. ”

An old voice came from inside the house, and Chen Yuan also went straight into the house.

A white-haired old man holding a cane struggled to stand up from his chair, and when he saw Chen Yuan's face, there was a hint of doubt on his face, but in the end he returned to normal.

Ten years have passed, and his granddaughter has grown from a child to eighteen years old, and it is impossible for someone to remain the same for ten years.

"Please sit down, the courtyard is bitter, and please forgive me." After the old man motioned for Chen Yuan to sit down, he shouted to his granddaughter outside the room, "Xiao Mo, the guest wants to drink water, go and pour a cup of tea for the guest." ”

Looking around, Chen Yuan found that everything in front of him had changed, and there was no longer the peace of ten years ago. Most importantly, there are two brand new tablets in the center of the main hall.

Seeing Chen Yuan's gaze fall on the tablet, the old man's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he said, "Let the guests smile." They are the sons and daughters-in-law of the old man, who died at the hands of the fairy bandits a year ago. Only the old man of the rotten wood and his granddaughter who has just come of age are left. ”

Chen Yuan had heard of bandits, he had heard of evil bandits, but he had never heard of immortal bandits. After taking the tea from the girl's hand, he said, "Can the old man tell me about the specific situation?" I remember, ten years ago, Crescent Town was controlled by the Sun and Moon Gate, why can't I see those female cultivators today? ”

"Those sisters left Crescent Town five years ago. They can't fight the immortal bandits, let alone the Blood Demon Sect. ”

The girl Xiao Mo robbed the old man's words, and it could be seen from her angry eyes that she hated the so-called fairy bandits.

Chen Yuan took a sip of the somewhat bitter tea and waited for the old man's narration.

"Hey, our Crescent Town is also miserable, originally just a mortal town. Because of those female cultivators in the Sun Moon Gate, the town was named the town of cultivating immortals. Originally, I thought that with the protection of those fairies, the town would be safe from bandits. ”

"But the Great Prince of the Dynasty took a fancy to the treasures of the Sun Moon Gate and sent the people of the Blood Demon Sect to drive away those female fairies. The female fairy left and left, and at some point, a group of bandits who claimed to be immortals appeared nearby, burning and looting everywhere, making a town that was originally peaceful become what it is now. ”

After listening to the narration from the source, Chen Yuan finally understood what happened.

It turned out that ten years ago, not long after Chen Yuan and the two daughters of Hanyue Haoyue entered the cave mansion, Xu Feng came to the town again with the people of the Blood Demon Sect.

In order to protect the town, Biyue and Xiao Taohua and others fought with the demons for three days and three nights, but in the end they still failed to protect the town.

Later, two years later, Xiao Peach Blossom came to Crescent Moon Town again with several monks, trying to take the town from the Blood Demon Sect again, but her strength was limited, and Xiao Peach Blossom failed again.

After that, the nuns of the Sun Moon Gate never came.

About three years ago, the Great Prince of the Dynasty wanted to take the throne of the Imperial Lord, and the Blood Demon Sect, which belonged to the minions of the Great Prince, was transferred to the Imperial City. In this way, the town has been quiet for two years.

About a year ago, Xu Feng, who had become stronger, came to Crescent Town again, and formed a Immortal Fort on the nearby mountain to rob the nearby mortal city, and Crescent Town naturally became their first target.

After a pause, Chen Yuan determined three things, first, the seizure of the throne by the nine sons of the Great Qi Dynasty was still not over, and none of the nine princes was recognized by the old emperor. It's just that the power of the eldest prince has become stronger.

Second, the Sun Moon Gate, like the Yin Sha Sect back then, no longer exists. Biyue and Little Peach Blossom, who were left outside by the Cold Moon Saint Ji, have disappeared from where they have gone.

Third, in the Chenghuang Temple of Huiyue City, Xu Feng, the little fat man who left with his conceit, has become the climate, and he is concentrating on bullying poor mortals.

"This young man, the old man sees that you are not a mortal. Today, when I asked the old man about the Sun Moon Gate, I guess the young man had some feelings for those female fairies. I wonder if the young man wants to know where they are, or if he wants to avenge them? ”

Chen Yuan did not directly answer the old man's question, put down the teacup in his hand, and slowly walked out of the house.

"Old Ma, to be able to meet you again in ten years shows that we are destined. These are a few pills, which can be regarded as a reward for you. Hurry up and leave here with your granddaughter. Crescent Town is no longer suitable for you to live in. ”

After walking out of the room, Chen Yuan flew directly into the air with his sword and threw down a bottle of three-star condensing elixir.

"Grandpa, who is this person? How come I haven't seen it? Why did he know our surname was Ma? Looking at Chen Yuan, who was flying away, the eighteen-year-old girl showed envy and admiration.

"It's him, it's supposed to be him. No wonder the old man felt so familiar. There are indeed people in the world who have not changed their appearance for ten years. ”

The old man, whom Chen Yuan called an old horse, walked into the dilapidated house on crutches. He had lived in the town all his life and was reluctant to leave. But he handed the elixir he had just gotten into his granddaughter's hands.

Besides, Chen Yuan, who left from Crescent Town, sensed a different aura on a mountain peak that was not too high after his divine sense dispersed.

"The sixth layer of Qi refining, Heavenly Demon Gong? It should be changed to Blood Demon Skill. ”

On the mountain peak, Chen Yuan sensed a familiar aura. In the end, the Xianjia Fort formed by Xu Feng failed to get rid of the control of the Heavenly Demon Gong and became a demon with horns on his head.

"Two Qi Refining Fifth Layers, one Qi Refining Sixth Layer. The strength of this Immortal Demon Castle is still good. ”

With the shadow escape talisman attached to his body, Chen Yuan quietly crossed more than a dozen checkpoints under the mountain, and came directly to the top of the mountain, where there was a suggestion attic built of rough wood, and it was from this attic that the breath of the three Qi refining period cultivators came out.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why did you trespass on my Xianjia Fort? ”

The monks in the attic were not ordinary people, and when Chen Yuan first appeared, they sensed Chen Yuan's aura.

"Of course, it's the people who came to take the lives of these immortal bandit leaders like you."

Chen Yuan stood with his hands in his hands, and at the same time as the sound came out, all the seventh-layer qi refining aura was released, and some of the thatched houses nearby also collapsed and shattered under the powerful aura.

"What a big breath, Your Excellency is only the seventh layer of Qi refining. Since you dare to be presumptuous in my Xianjia Fort. Today, since you dare to enter the fairy castle alone, the next brother will let you know the fate of the trespasser. ”

As soon as the words fell, two fifth-level Qi refining and one sixth-layer Qi Refining monk flew out of the attic, and formed an encirclement and stood in three directions of Chen Yuan.

It's a pity that there is no Xu Feng among these three.

"Where is Xu Feng?"

Chen Yuan didn't look at the three monks, and asked Xu Feng's whereabouts as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's okay to want to see our immortal master, as long as you die, the immortal lord will naturally meet you. The fairy lord is the one who likes the blood of monks the most. ”

The three monks threw magic weapons at Chen Yuan at the same time, and all of them were medium-grade magic weapons.

A small den of bandits, everyone has medium-grade magic weapons, which shows how many people they have harmed on weekdays.

A golden armor talisman protected the figure, and with a flick of his right hand, three flying knives as thin as bamboo leaves flew in three different directions.

"Is that you? The fairy lord has been looking for you for ten years? I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to the door? ”

One of the three monks recognized Chen Yuan through the three-leaf flying knife.
