As soon as Su You and his party walked into the tavern, they could feel the extremely dignified, cold and solemn atmosphere.

Although these sergeants or cultivators would be curious about Su You and his party who came to the tavern and raised their heads to look, it was this glance that made Su You and his party see the tiredness and sadness in their eyes.

Obviously, there was a previous national war about the four major dynasties, and the news that Zhongli and the Xuanqi Dynasty had fallen into disadvantage was indeed true, and these soldiers and cultivators in the border towns were undoubtedly the most intuitive ones in an unbalanced war.

What kind of expression they will have on their faces is completely impossible to fake, and it all depends on the development of the war at the border pass.

Now it seems that the border war in Shuolin City, or the entire Zhongli Dynasty, is not optimistic.

But in such a solemn atmosphere, there are still many optimistic voices sounding in the cup change.

As soon as Su You and his party found a vacant seat and sat down, they heard someone talking while drinking.

"In a few days, the cultivators from the various clan forces on the mainland will join us, I think that if we fight against the Heavenly Star and the guys of the Loulan Dynasty again, our situation should not be as bad as before, and we will be slaughtered by others."

"I have also heard about this matter, and it is said that this time the mainland sent outstanding disciples and elder deacons under the sects of the top clan forces, I think that even if the number of Heavenly Demon Domain demons in the army of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty is large, it is impossible to continue to suppress us."

"Drink first, drink first, and wait until later."

Similar voices are not uncommon.

Su You and his party, who were sitting in the crowd but did not attract attention again, saw the complex emotions in the eyes of those people, some were happy and excited, but some were lost and depressed, which can be described as mixed.

In the end, Su You and his party did not stay in the tavern for a long time, nor did they hear any useful gossip from the tavern, and after leaving the tavern, they went back to their accommodation in Shuolin City.

After returning to the residence, Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue also returned from the City Lord's Mansion soon after.

Seeing that Su You and the others had returned, the two women handed Su You and the others a token carved with the word Shuolin, and explained: "This token is used to prove your identity, if we want to follow the army in the city to fight together, this token can save us from the accidental injury of friendly troops, and at the same time, if we return to the city from the outside world, we also need this token to prove our identity, so you must keep it carefully, in case you lose it, it will be troublesome." ”

Hearing this, Su You and his party took the token and hung it directly on their belts after taking it for a while.

And Ji Hongxiang continued at this time: "I have another urgent message to tell you. ”

Su You and the others asked, "What urgent news?" ”

Lin Jiangyue said: "Just now after the two of us went to the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Tianguang, the City Lord of Shuolin City, was talking to the elders and deacons in the mansion about something, which seemed to be related to a team of strange and elusive Heavenly Demon Domain Evil Ghost Killers who suddenly appeared outside Shuolin City in recent days. ”

"After seeing and knowing our identity, the city lord Yuan Tianguang showed us the ins and outs of this matter."

"Then we knew why the atmosphere in Shuolin City had been solemn recently, and the low fighting spirit of many soldiers and cultivators had been related to what the Heavenly Demon Domain Demon Killer who was hiding in the shadows had done."

Immediately, Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue told Su You and his party what they learned in the City Lord's Mansion one by one.

It turned out that just five or six days ago, the army from the Celestial Star Dynasty that had originally attacked Shuolin City had begun to retreat, which made everyone in Shuolin City think that they could temporarily get a few days of rest, so the City Lord's Mansion sent soldiers to rearrange the defenses outside the city, and at the same time clean up some of the corpses piled up outside the city, and recover the weapons and armor that can still be used.

However, just when the sergeant who was sent out by the city lord's mansion to do business was about to go back to the city.

Although it was dark at that time, the boundary of Shuolin City was not the north of the continent after all, and while there was no wind and snow to cover the sky and the sun, the moon above the sky was cool and bright enough to shine on those who were about to return to the city.

So he was under the watchful eye of the sergeant on duty on the city wall.

The cold light was fleeting.

Heads with familiar faces rolled down, and the headless corpses fell to the ground in a few moments, with no chance of standing up.

Because the lion happened so suddenly, the sergeant standing on the city wall and seeing this scene couldn't help but rub his eyes, for fear that he was mistaken.

But just as he rubbed his eyes to make sure he was awake and looked at the moonlit spot again, his eyes widened, and his face was full of horror and he rang the alarm bell in the city, startling all the sleeping soldiers and cultivators, and leading them up to the city wall so that they could see the corpses that looked rather cold and strange in the moonlight.

The corpse was exposed to the public.

At this time, not only the sergeant just now, but even the other sergeants and cultivators who rushed to the city wall after hearing the alarm bell rang couldn't help but gasp, their faces full of shock.

It's just that it happened suddenly, and even the sergeant in charge of duty couldn't say why, only that he just saw a flash of cold light, and then saw several people who went out being beheaded and killed.

In this case, coupled with the fact that the armies of the Tianxing and Xuanqi dynasties had not completely withdrawn from the battlefield, the city lord Yuan Tianguang could only temporarily close the city gate, and only sent people out in the morning to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and at the same time, he also sent sergeants on duty in shifts to be responsible for the security of the city gate.

However, it happened again the next day and tonight.

And this time the dead turned out to be the sergeants who were on duty on the city walls in shifts.

This time, there was only a flash of cold light, and then the sergeant who was on duty with him on shift saw the former who had just been talking to him stop, and before he could ask, he tilted his head and rolled to the ground, blood gushing out of his neck like a spring, and in a short time the sergeant behind him was dyed red.

"According to the city lord Yuan Tianguang, in the next few days, similar incidents have occurred repeatedly, so the soldiers and cultivators in the city will gradually fall into a panic mood, and even the soldiers who have experienced the national war and killed from the sea of corpses and blood have shown signs of fading their fighting spirit."

Lin Jiangyue frowned and said, "Yuan Tianguang is still very worried and said that if this continues, once the armies of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty come back, I am afraid that Shuolin City will be lost." ”

Ji Hongxiang followed Lin Jiangyue's words and continued: "Since we are the first batch of cultivators to come here from the outside world, City Lord Yuan Tianguang hopes that we can help. ”

Su You said: "He wants us to probe the outside world with the face of a stranger, and then find out the guy who is hiding in the dark to do those things?" ”

Seeing that Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue nodded, Su You rolled his eyes and said, "Then at least there must be a clue, right?" Otherwise, if we go out of the city like this, won't we be pushed into the fire pit and sent to our deaths? ”

"There are still clues."

After hearing what Su You said, Ji Hongxiang smiled and said: "After all, the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain mixed in the armies of the Heavenly Star and Loulan Dynasty are only at the level of evil ghosts after all, and it is difficult for their cultivation realm to break through to the Nirvana realm, so it is inevitable that they will show flaws when doing things that need to conceal themselves, and in the strict search in the past few days, the City Lord's Mansion still found some clues." ”

"So the City Lord's Mansion decided to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Su You was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the people in the City Lord's Mansion want to use us as fishermen, could it be that Yuan Tianguang who believes that we can catch those guys hiding in the shadows?" ”

"Can't you?" Ji Hong looked at Su You with Lin Jiangyue with a smile on her face, and never looked away from her for a long time.

Because the two of them knew that Su You's divine soul power was extremely strong, not to mention that now he was no longer the hairy boy of the Xuantian Sect at the beginning, but a genuine cultivator of the Life and Death Realm.

And Su You, who was stared at by the two women like this, finally removed his face, and then chuckled: "I know, when the time comes, I will definitely use the fastest speed to find out those mice hiding in the dark corners." ”

The voice fell.

Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue looked at each other and smiled.

Now that Su You has agreed, then they only need to follow the plan of the City Lord's Mansion to lure the snakes out of the hole after nightfall, and use the characteristics of those rats that like to wait for opportunities to catch them all.

So everyone rested in their lodgings, and did not leave for the city lord's mansion until late that night.

When the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Tianguang, the City Lord of the Mansion, the elders, deacons, and the sergeants who were in charge of acting as bait had already been prepared.

Everything is ready next, only the east wind is owed.
