Chapter 590: The Ruined City
After Qin Wen and the people entered the city gate, what appeared in front of them was another scene, the broken walls of the city were all over the place, a large area of traces of being burned by fire, there were basically no people on the street, although there were no dead bodies, but a large area of blood stains on the ground, basically dyed the entire bluestone road red.
"Slaughter the city?" Xu Xiang said two words with some confusion in his mouth, Lu Mo looked at the messy Tianyan City, and couldn't help but nod and said: "Looking at the current situation in the city, it should be that this place was just ransacked a few months ago, and the monks who escaped have not returned, it should be that some residents buried the corpses to avoid a large-scale plague." ”
Qin Wen felt a dead silence in the city at this time, so he walked towards the city, he heard that the love in Lu Mo's words was very bland, so he frowned slightly and turned around and asked, "Does this kind of thing often happen in the Demon Realm?"
Lu Mo hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not very often, but it's much more chaotic here than Daqi, and it can't even compare to the Expulsion City, the Expulsion City still has the deacons of the three cities in charge, and the idle monks outside can't form a climate, but the Demon Realm has been in a fragmented environment since I left, and the battles between the various Great Heavenly Demons are very fierce." ”
"In a remote city like Tianyan City, although some of them can't be burned here by war, some nearby mountain bandits and stragglers will often come over to loot it, but in a few years, it will develop again. ”
Xu Xiang looked at the houses and city walls next to him with some hesitation at this time, and asked Lu Mo suspiciously: "There has basically been no war over there in Daqi, if there is often this kind of looting in this place, then the scale of the mountain bandits should also be very large, but I don't think these city walls and houses have been damaged by the vitality, is it not that the realm of both sides of the attack and defense is not too high?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said, "The realm of our demon cultivation is basically similar to that of the Dao cultivation over there in Great Qi. These cities and houses are all protected by the array in the city, even if these mountain bandits invade the city, if they do not destroy the formation, the damage to the houses is not very strict, and these traces of fire are left after the magic circle of the city is broken. ”
Qin Wen thought of the array plate that Lu Mo had held in his hand before, and he thought that the formation master on the Demon Cultivator's side was estimated to be even more powerful than that of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range. After all, a monk like Lu Mo who was not born in a formation cultivation formation would not have an understanding of the formation that ordinary Dao cultivators could achieve.
At this time, Qin Wen suddenly saw the figure in front of him flash, and immediately disappeared into the nearby street, so he said to everyone: "There is a monk in front, it is estimated that it should be a monk left in this city, everyone be careful, lest they be ambushed by them as mountain bandits." ”
After speaking, Xu Xiang and Joseph used their divine senses to probe the surroundings at the same time, and Joseph's divine sense swept over. Turning to Qin Wen, he said, "There is a place guarded by monks on the two streets ahead, most of them are demon cultivators around the Xuanshi realm, and there is no threat to us. ”
Qin Wen nodded slightly, and Lu Mo said at this time: "The realm of our demon cultivation is different from that of Dao cultivation, like that kind of demon cultivation in the realm of Xuan Shi, most of them are called Xuan Demon Upper Rank, and these people left in front should not be the army in this city." Let's go over there and have a look. ”
Qin Wen led the crowd in the direction Joseph had said, passing by two streets full of broken bricks. They felt that there was a divine sense sweeping around them from time to time, and they turned the corner of the street, and what appeared in front of them was the street corner guarded by more than a dozen demon cultivators, seeing the somewhat vigilant gaze of the demon cultivators, Qin Wen's pace couldn't help but slow down a little.
When the distance between the two sides was only a dozen zhang, the demon cultivators had already probed the cultivation of Qin Wen's group. When they saw that there was a monk like Joseph inside, who they couldn't be sure of, they cautiously said, "Who are you? What are you doing in our Tianyan City?"
Qin Wen looked at Lu Mo next to him, and Lu Mo replied loudly: "We are going to Chiyan Gate, passing through Tianyan City, can the road in front of us lead to Guò?"
A few demon cultivators deliberated in a low voice. They also saw that Qin Wen and the others were not hostile, but for the sake of safety, especially when there were high-ranking monks among them, the demon cultivator who spoke pointed to the street next to him and said, "This is being renovated, you still go out from the east gate, and then take a detour to the Chiyan Gate." ”
Lu Mo turned around and looked at Qin Wen at this time, Qin Wen saw that they were more wary of their side, and in a city that had just been ransacked, there were no shops where they could buy spiritual objects, so he nodded slightly and said, "Since this is the case, let's go to the east gate." ”
Qin Wen and the others turned around and had just walked out of less than thirty zhang, when suddenly a strong aura fluctuation surged from the west, and then they heard the monks who were on guard just now say loudly: "It's not good, there are mountain bandits attacking again, go and inform the boss." ”
Qin Wen didn't expect that he could just encounter such a thing, so he stopped, turned around and looked, only to see a team of demon cultivators flying from near Xicheng, a total of more than a thousand people, in mid-air, led by a demon spirit mid-level monk, basically similar to Xu Xiang's cultivation.
Of the demon cultivators who were talking to Qin Wen just now, one of them had already flown north, and the rest of them took out the magic weapons in their hands, and looked at the demon cultivators who came from the west with a resolute face, at this time, the demon spirit cultivator looked at the ruins below with disdain and said, "Didn't you come to investigate? How did Tianyan City become like this? You still let me grab a fart." ”
A demon cultivator next to him said with some fear: "My subordinates came to investigate three months ago, and at that time, Tianyan City was still full of people, and I wanted to report it to you at that time, but you hadn't been out of the customs at that time, and my subordinates didn't know which way of people and horses were one step faster than us." ”
After hearing this, the demon cultivator who was the leader couldn't help but be furious, slapped the monk on the back of the head, and scolded: "Three months? Didn't I tell you that you must be regularly probed when you make a move? You haven't been here for three months, so it's good that this place isn't in ruins." ”
While they were talking, Qin Wen saw thousands of monks flying out of the northern city, led by a monk from the lower level of the demon spirit, looking at the demon cultivator opposite with a gloomy face: "Leng Leopard, you came to die again this time, last time the Snow City Lord kindly spared your life, I didn't expect you to dare to come here to spread wild." ”
The monk named Leng Leopard saw that the other party's monk had rushed over, so he looked at it with disdain and said, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the Han Commander, what's wrong? I haven't been here for a few years, how did Tianyan City become like this, and what about the old horseman in Xue Mo? Was he killed by someone?"
"He also spared my life? Bah, last time it was my magic circle that had not really been successfully refined, so he saw the flaw, and finally led the Lao Tzu soldiers back to the mountain, this time I want you to see the power of the new formation. ”
Han Commander's face couldn't help but be covered with a layer of cold frost, and he looked at Leng Leopard and said, "No matter how powerful your formation is, what can you do?" If it weren't for the fact that we were breached by those guys in Nebula City this time, we would still let you flee from the wind, and there would be no need for the Snow City Lord to make a move, and it would not be a problem for you to see the monks behind me take you down." ”
The corner of Leng Leopard's mouth twitched slightly at this time, and he directly took out a plate from his storage bag and said: "The boiled duck has a hard mouth, if you kneel down and submit to me now, and then help me take down the snow desert, I can still spare your life, otherwise, the guys in Nebula City will slaughter the city, and I will do the same." ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw that some demon cultivators behind him were standing in accordance with the aura running in the formation, Qin Wen suddenly discovered something at this time, so he turned around and asked Lu Modao, "I see how come there are Taoist cultivators among these monks?
Lu Mo opened his mouth to explain: "These Dao cultivators are basically the monks who were captured back from the original Dao Demon War, their general realm is not high, and few of them can cultivate to the realm of the spirit master, if it is an immortal-level Dao cultivator, as long as they enter the demon realm, the nearest heavenly demon from here will get the news, and then he will notify other nearby heavenly demons as quickly as possible to encircle and attack the immortal-level monks." ”
"This is a rule that all the demon gods agreed to promulgate after our demons retreated to the demon realm, even if the two heavenly demons are fighting, they will turn around and deal with Dao Xiu first, until they expel Dao Xiu from the demon world, and then the two of them will settle their disputes. ”
Qin Wen nodded slightly, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, glanced at Joseph next to him, and asked Lu Modao: "Then let's come this time, I will take Joseph, he is also an immortal-level monk, isn't our whereabouts already known to the Heavenly Demon?"
Lu Mo also nodded and explained: "With you here, it is naturally nothing to bring Joseph, as long as the Heavenly Demon comes, you will reveal the identity of the descendant of the Demon God, and naturally there will be a Heavenly Demon to put a protective jade talisman on Joseph, as long as there is this jade talisman, other Heavenly Demons will not attack us again." ”
As soon as Lu Mo's words fell, at this moment, his eyes suddenly darkened, gusts of yin wind drifted in, and some demon spirit cultivators suddenly floated inside, Qin Wen turned around and saw that the people next to him had disappeared, so he shouted loudly: "Joseph, what's going on here?"
After the words were spoken, he didn't hear for a long time, and seeing that the Demon Spirit Monk was getting closer and closer to him, he had to hurriedly take out his Yanlong Spear and stab at the Demon Spirit Monk. (To be continued......)
