In the sea of sand thousands of miles away in the Baisha River Oasis.

Soon after the ancestor of the Chen family drove the giant building boat from the sky above the Baisha River Oasis, a red flame flew across thousands of miles from the Baisha River Oasis to a black-robed monk waiting here.

"Chen Yaohui has already taken people away, come quickly!"

Hearing the sound coming from the fire in his hand before it dissipated, the black-robed monk's face was happy, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha, this old thief Chen Yaohui is finally gone, since this is the case, it's time for us to act." ”

Before the laughter fell, the black-robed monk flashed with yellow light, and directly performed the "Earth Escape Technique" and escaped into the ground.

Half a day later, the black-robed monk who had escaped underground reappeared on the ground, but this time it was not just him, but hundreds of black-robed immortal cultivators dressed in black robes like him.

These hundreds of black-robed immortal cultivators, all of them were dressed in black-robed masks, each of them only showed a pair of eyes outside, and everyone's eyes exuded a greedy light like a vicious wolf.

Sand Bandits!

These black-robed immortal cultivators are all sand bandits!

Sand bandits robbing oases, this is a very common thing, not every oasis in the boundless sand sea has a foundation building period immortal cultivators, many small oases without third-order spiritual veins are occupied by some small families in the Qi cultivation period or some powerful Qi cultivation period scattered cultivators.

After these small families or casual cultivators occupy the oasis, they will also cultivate spiritual veins, and they will also accumulate mortals, and select mortals with spiritual roots to teach immortal cultivation techniques and accept them as disciples, and most of the sources of casual cultivation come from these small oases.

And since these small oases are not guarded by monks in the foundation building period, they will naturally be easy to become the targets of sand bandits, basically as long as their locations are exposed, they will not escape the sand bandits.

However, the sand bandits dared to loot a small oasis without a foundation building period monk, or even a medium-sized oasis like the Yuquan Lake Oasis with foundation building period monks in charge, but in any case, they should not dare to or have the ability to loot a large oasis like the Baisha River Oasis.

But now, after these hundreds of black-robed sand bandits appeared, they went straight to the Baisha River Oasis thousands of miles away.

It can be seen from this that these sand bandits are either suffering from madness, all of them are crazy, or they have something to rely on, thinking that the lack of the Baisha River Oasis where the ancestor of the Chen family, a monk of the Purple Mansion Period, sits at this moment, and cannot stop their sack.

And judging from the fact that when these sand bandits were marching, there were more than a dozen sword lights flying in the sky, it was obvious that they were the latter.

......

......

On the other side, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu returned to the "Yuquan Building" after bidding farewell to the old patriarch and others.

Zhou Yang continued to read and ponder the foundation building experience recorded by his predecessors, while Zhou Xuanyu drew spiritual runes in the quiet room in the backyard behind closed doors as usual.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Zhou family would let her, an elder who has not been out of the family for many years, take over the "Yuquan Building" is also because the magic weapon business here in Fang City has not been profitable for the time being after Zhou Yang.

Previously, "Yuquan Building" had always been the main business of magic weapons because the Zhou family had Zhou Minghan, a third-order high-grade refiner, until Zhou Xuanhao, a second-order high-grade alchemist, settled in, so that pills and magic weapons became the main business at the same time.

However, when Zhou Yang took over, "Yuquan Building" became the main magic weapon again, and suddenly the magic weapon business in the entire Fang City was depressed.

In view of this, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan sent Zhou Xuanyu, his own granddaughter, to Fang City after struggling and hesitating, hoping to change the main business of "Yuquan Building" with his exquisite talisman making skills.

The Zhou family's current source of income is relatively single, there are only two kinds, one is to rely on the sale of the refined iron ore vein of Qingping Mountain and the [Jinzhu Rice] planted in the Lingtian on Yuquan Peak, and the other is the income of the two shops of "Yuquan Building" and "Zuixian Building".

Of these two sources of income, the first one is stable and long-term, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the annual income is relatively fixed and will not skyrocket.

In the second case, if you encounter an opportunity like Zhou Yang's Great Refining, the income earned in a year will be equal to the total income of the family in the past few years.

In particular, now that the reputation of "Yuquan Building" has been played, many immortal cultivators will come here to take a walk when they come to Fang City to buy spiritual objects, and these are all high-quality customers.

Whether it is a magic weapon, an elixir, a spirit rune, or even a formation, as long as the quality of the things is not bad and the price is affordable, they can be sold quickly in the "Yuquan Building".

After these things are sold, not only the monks of the Zhou family who consign things have spirit stones to earn, but the family can also get a lot of money from them, which greatly alleviates the family's relatively difficult finances.

And reputation, if you don't pay attention to management, will always come and go quickly.

Once the monks who come to the "Yuquan Building" to shop find that there is nothing attractive here except for the magic utensils, they will most likely not come here next time.

Therefore, even if the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was quite reluctant to let Zhou Xuanyu, a granddaughter, stay away from the family and himself, for the sake of the development of the family, he had to let her come to Fang City to sit in town.

Just as Zhou Xuanyu had finished drawing most of a second-order mid-grade spirit talisman and was about to finish it, a deafening bell suddenly rang in the market, and the bell rang nine times in a row, and the soundproof magic circle outside the quiet room seemed to be invalid at this time, and it had no effect at all.

Boom!

Zhou Xuanyu's jade hand holding the talisman trembled slightly, and the spirit rune that was about to be completed exploded into a ball of flames and turned into ashes in an instant because of the talisman maker's heart.

However, Zhou Xuanyu couldn't care about this at this time, after she heard the bell ringing, she looked at the direction where the bell rang from in a daze, the direction of the top of Jinxia Mountain.

"[Shocking Bell] Nine Rings, this is a warning that Fang City will only issue when it encounters the attack of the Purple Mansion Stage enemy and the fourth-order demon beast!"

"Why? Why is it so coincidental? Why did Old Ancestor Chen and Grandpa have just left for such a strong enemy to attack?"

"No, no, it's a conspiracy! This must be a long-planned conspiracy! Danger, the market is in danger!"

Zhou Xuanyu's pretty face changed color suddenly, and he hurriedly put away the talisman and rushed out of the quiet room to the "Yuquan Building".

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw that Zhou Yang and the others in the building had all walked out of the attic and were looking up at the top of the mountain.

At this time, above the top of Jinxia Mountain, the three foundation-building monks who had been stationed in Fang City by the Chen family all year round had all walked out of the cave and were hovering in the sky with sword light, looking at the countless monks in Fang City below.

"Fellow Daoists, just now I received a warning message from the family monks in front of you, a large number of sand bandits are coming to Fang City, not only do they have more than a dozen foundation building period monks, but there are also Purple Mansion stage monks who are hiding!"

"Due to the strength of the enemy this time, we dare not guarantee that we will be able to protect all the monks in Fang City, so if you want to leave Fang City to fend for yourself, we will give you a quarter of an hour. ”

"After a quarter of an hour, all monks who do not want to leave Fang City must obey our commands, the old man declares first, if anyone is unwilling to leave and is passive to the old man's orders, be careful of the flying sword in the old man's hand to take his head!"

"Okay, time is pressing, now you can make a choice!"

The cold voice came out of the mouths of the three foundation building period monks, and under the diffusion of the power of the spell, it instantly spread throughout the entire Fang City, like a boulder smashing into the water, causing an uproar.

Although most of the monks who understood the meaning of the bell had some preparation when they heard the [Shocking Bell] ring nine times in a row, after hearing the actual situation from the mouths of the monks of the Chen family's foundation building period, it still made all the monks feel incredible and full of shock.

"I heard me right, that senior said that it was the sand bandits attacking, when did the sand bandits have the courage to attack the Xiuxianfang City, which is guarded by several foundation building period monks and fourth-order formations!"

"Sand bandits! It's actually sand bandits! It's miserable! Sand bandits are all evil ghosts who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they have no trace of humanity, if the market is broken by them, even if we hand over the storage bags, they will be wiped out!"

"Conspiracy, this is a long-planned conspiracy! To unite more than a dozen sand bandits in the foundation building period, even ordinary Purple Mansion period monks can't do it, Fang City is in danger, let's escape, the target of these sand bandits is only the monks of the major families in Fang City, as long as we don't provoke them, they may not be willing to cause more trouble!"

Sou!

The flying sword broke through the air, instantly slashing the head of the monk who shouted "conspiracy" to the ground.

"Jumping clown, if you are in such a hurry to seek death, the old man will satisfy you!"

A sneer full of disdain sounded from the sky, and I saw that the Chen family Zhuji monk who released the flying sword to kill people had a sinking face, and his eyes coldly glanced at the low-level cultivators below who were trembling with fear from this scene and shouted: "The old man knows that there must be sand bandits among you, so if you want to receive the bounty alive, it is best to shut up the old man now and get out of the market, otherwise if the old man will find out that you are showing a trace of horses, and see if the flying sword in the old man's hand recognizes you!"

"If anyone dares to beceive the public, they will be dealt with according to the spy!"

As soon as the voice fell this time, the remaining monks in the market looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to talk about anything anymore, and they all thought about the way forward with their eyes flashing.

The monk who was killed just now, whether it was really a spy sent by the sand bandits outside, or innocent, didn't matter to the other monks who were not related to him.

The important thing is that although he is dead, what he said is not unreasonable, the sand bandits attacked the Fang City, of course, for money, and many loose cultivators feel that they are shabby, compared with those wealthy family monks in the Fang City, it should not be easy to attract the attention of the sand bandits.

Therefore, after the Chen family's foundation building monks finished speaking, a bold monk soon arched his hand at the three foundation building monks in the sky and said: "Forgive me, a few seniors, it's not easy for the juniors to work hard, and they don't want to end their lives here, please forgive the juniors for being rude!"

This time, the monk of the Chen family's foundation building period who killed people with the sword did not make any moves, only another gray-haired old monk, with a wry smile on his face, responded to the monk who spoke: "Little Taoist friends, let's go if you want to, it is also my Chen family who can't live with you, if Fang City can be saved this time, the old man should ask the family to reduce the detention fee in Fang City by half in the next ten years, to thank you for your support!"

When the monk heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted: "The seniors are noble, the juniors admire, if you can escape your life this time, you will definitely promote the prestige of the seniors and the Chen family to all the fellow cultivators!"

After finishing speaking, he directly took a picture of himself and ran out of the Fang City, and the three Chen Family Foundation Monks in the sky really didn't make any moves.

Seeing this, the other monks who intended to leave also followed this person's lead and saluted the three foundation building monks in the sky, saying a few good words, and then all walked out of the fang market safely.

In less than a quarter of an hour, less than half of the people in the Fang Market, which originally gathered seven or eight hundred people, remained in place.

Outside the "Yuquan Tower", Zhou Yang, Zhou Xuanyu and other Zhou family monks saw this scene, their faces couldn't help but change, and the expressions in their eyes were indescribably complicated.
