It is thousands of miles away from Zhenyang City.

Zhenlian City.

This is the second largest city under the jurisdiction of the Zhenyang Sect.

It's just that unlike the prosperous and flowery Zhenyang City, now it's not too late, and the streets of Zhenlian City are empty, and every house is closed, and there is not even candlelight.

It's like a dead city.

Only in one of the guest courtyards of the City Lord's Mansion came from time to time the sound of whipping and angry scolding.

The whipping was heavy, the scolding was loud, and it spread far away.

So much so that it can be heard in the houses next to the city lord's mansion.

In one room, the woman held the child in her arms, and the little girl, with a frightened face, whispered:

"Mother, the voice is so loud, will it attract monsters?"

The woman's body trembled slightly, but she still kept a smile at the child, and said softly:

"Don't worry, there are city lords and guards, and monsters don't dare to come."

That being said, listening to the constant sound of whipping and scolding, the woman's face was irrepressibly worried and panicked.

It's been a month, and the originally lively Zhenlian City is now silent every time it arrives.

Otherwise, it will attract the terrifying monster beast that has never been seen before.

It's just that those people from the Western Dynasty who only lived in the City Lord's Mansion today are extremely arrogant and rude, and they dare to abuse the prisoners after the dawn, what if they burden us?

At this time, in the guest courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the whipping and angry scolding continued.

In one room, there was blood all over the floor.

A man dressed in gold snake and black held a stabbing whip, and kept whipping a woman whose limbs were tied to the wall in shackles, and kept scolding:

"Si Minglan, aren't you quite backbone? Bite me, come on! ”

He had been whipped for almost half an hour, and there was almost no intact piece of flesh on the woman's body, her whole body was dripping with blood, but there was no pain on her face, and a pair of bewitching Danfeng eyes looked at the man coldly.

"Si Mingcheng, you are so afraid of me, but you don't dare to kill me, hehe, it's really pitiful."

Si Mingcheng was furious, and went down with another whip, but Si Minglan was still expressionless, and even had a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

Si Mingcheng stepped forward and slapped Si Minglan in the face, spilling blood from the corner of her mouth, and half of her face was swollen.

"Si Minglan, do you really dare not kill you? When you get to Zhenyang Sect, the queen mother and the six sons of Zhenyang have condemned you, and I will personally send you on your way! Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily! ”

Si Minglan suddenly chuckled.

Si Mingcheng pinched her chin: "Don't laugh!" Laugh again, I'll cut your tongue! ”

When she was a child, Si Minglan liked to laugh like this in front of him, and Si Mingcheng hated to see her like this.

Si Minglan suddenly had fangs in her mouth, and she was about to bite, Si Mingcheng was startled and hurriedly retreated, and Si Minglan continued to laugh:

"Si Mingcheng, do you know why I like to laugh at you since I was a child? Because no one in the Si family looks down on you, but you look down on yourself, you think that everyone treats you badly, but in fact, you are the only one who treats you badly! ”

"From beginning to end, you and your mother are self-despise, inferior and shameless, you say, such a person, who do you laugh at if I don't laugh?"

"Shut up!!" Green tendons appeared on Si Mingcheng's forehead, and he pulled out a long knife with a bang.

"That's enough."

At this time, a thick magnetic voice came from outside, and Si Mingcheng had no choice but to withdraw the long knife, go over to open the door stupidly, and arch his hand to the middle-aged man standing outside the door:

"City Lord Xu, I interrogate the prisoners of the Western Dynasty, I don't know what's wrong?"

This middle-aged man is quite handsome, and if you look closely, he looks a little similar to Xu Caihe, it is the city lord of Zhenlian City, Xu Jiangxing.

The Western Dynasty and the Eastern Cultivation Land are juxtaposed, although Si Mingcheng is only a chief guard of the Golden Snake Guard of the Western Palace, if he talks about status, he is only half a step lower than Xu Jiangxing, because he is not afraid of this city lord.

Xu Jiangxing looked past him and looked at Si Minglan who was covered in blood in the room, a trace of regret and admiration flashed in his eyes, and said to Si Mingcheng:

"The chief of the guard doesn't know, there are often demon beasts harassing Zhenlian City recently, and this demon beast will only go to the place where the sound is loud, and Zhenlian City is now silent in the whole city."

"Demon beasts?"

Si Mingcheng was stunned, and then smiled:

"I have heard for a long time that Xu City is in charge of the city, and the guards of Zhenlian City are strong, this little demon beast, it is not so cautious, right?"

Xu Jiang said: "Ordinary demon beasts are indeed not to be feared, but this demon beast is a sixth-grade. ”

"Six-rank demon beast?!" Si Mingcheng's pupils shrank, and his voice suddenly became much quieter.

Most of the demon beasts are below the fifth rank, and when they reach the fifth rank, they are at the level of the beast king, and they can control hundreds of low-level demon beasts.

If you reach the sixth grade, you can control thousands of demon beasts, and your own strength is also extremely terrifying, and you can have the strength of the Jindan Realm.

In addition, it is not enough to control many demon beasts and a six-rank beast king, although it is not enough to destroy Zhenlian City, but it is still very easy to kill Si Mingcheng and a foundation building peak.

"City Lord Xu, don't be alarmist, since the beast tide twenty years ago, the Hongzhou Continent has never seen a demon beast above the fifth grade!"

Si Mingcheng still couldn't believe it.

Xu Jiangxing sighed: "The beast tide is once every few decades, and each time it will shorten the time by a few years, so calculated, this year, it should be another beast tide." ”

"What?!"

Si Mingcheng was horrified in his heart, the battle between the monks was still a dispute within the same clan.

But the beast tide is different, it is a life-and-death duel between races, and the losing side may face the desperate situation of extermination.

Even if he is not exterminated, he can only hide in the shadows and survive, and countless resources are handed over to others.

Just like the demon beasts that have failed again and again in the past few hundred years, the high-level beast kings have been killed or hidden, and the low-level demon beasts have become food and pets for the human race.

But no matter what the result is, every beast tide is a test of life and death for every Terran monk.

"City Lord Xu, don't be alarmist!"

Si Mingcheng's face was pale, and his voice was quieter.

Xu Jiang said: "This is my speculation on the time of the beast tide, and it may not be accurate, but it is always good to be cautious, it is late at night, so the chief of the guard might as well rest early." ”

Si Mingcheng's expression changed, and finally nodded: "Thank you City Lord Xu for reminding you." ”

After saying that, he bowed, went out of the room, and walked towards the room where he lived.

Si Minglan's limbs were locked by the trapped immortal chains of confinement and cultivation, and her whole body was injured, so she was naturally not afraid of her escaping.

After Si Mingcheng left, Xu Jiangxing looked at Si Minglan in the room, and instructed the attendant behind him:

"Give her something to eat, and find a doctor."

After speaking, he walked out of the guest house, and the attendant said in the back:

"City Lord, I just received the news that the Young City Lord lost to a physical cultivator named He Zhiqiu in the Outer Gate Competition."

"The young city lord took out ten swords, one of which went straight to the second layer of Jindan, but it failed to hurt the other party in the slightest."

Xu Jiangxing was silent for a moment and asked, "After losing, how did Caihe react?" ”

"The young city lord didn't cry or make trouble, and silently left Danxia Peak with his sword."

Xu Jiangxing nodded: "I've finally grown up." ”

"City Lord, do you want to check on He Zhiqiu?"

"No need, the most important thing to deal with the six-grade demon beast is right now, I sent a message to Zhenyang Mountain, and ordered to go down, the whole city is on guard, and it must not be neglected."

"Yes!"
