Half a day later, the snow was flying all over the sky, and the goose-featherlike snow flakes were spreading, and even the divine consciousness was affected, and a small city "buried" by ice and snow faintly appeared in the sight of the five people.

This small city is not big, there is only one city wall, which occupies a radius of dozens of miles, and unlike the square city of Ziyang Kingdom, this sitting city is round.

When I got to the sky above the small city, I saw that the city wall was damaged in many places, and the city wall that was 100 zhang wide in the southeast simply collapsed completely. Mu Qing released his divine sense to investigate, but found that there was no one within the reach of his divine sense, and he couldn't help but wonder even more.

The five of them flew into the city, probing around as they flew, and searched the whole city, but they didn't see a single person. It's an empty city!

Not only is the city empty, but under the heavy snow, I saw that the large and small buildings in the city were damaged to varying degrees, and it seemed that they had been trampled by thousands of troops.

The five people didn't know for a while, so Yukun thought about it, pointed to a direction again, and said that there should be a small city over there, so the five people urged to flee away.

Half a day later, another small city appeared, similar to the previous one, but empty. The only difference is that there is no trace of the crossing of thousands of troops in this small city, and it seems that everyone has disappeared overnight.

Yukun said: "It seems that the city in front was attacked, and the one behind received the news and fled in a hurry." ”

Ling Xu said: "This is the eastern edge of Chituo Country, and then to the east is the Hundred Ghost Plain, did the demon beast do it?"

Yukun licked his two front teeth and said, "Maybe it'...... However, more than 1,000 years ago, I lived in the Hundred Ghost Plain, and although there were many demon beasts there, they did not take the initiative to attack the human city, and at most they only operated for hundreds of miles outside the range of the Hundred Ghost Plain. ”

Having no clue for a while, the five of them had to march southwest again to find another small city.

A day later, at night, I finally arrived at a small town called "Baisha City".

In the midst of the blizzard, the small city was full of people, and in the distance, you could see the torches at the head of the city, and teams of men and horses were busy back and forth, transporting huge blocks of ice to the city wall, which seemed to be reinforcing the city wall.

The five of them did not deliberately hide their figures, and when they appeared above the city wall, someone immediately noticed them, an old man bowed his hand, spoke in a thick local accent, and shouted in the wind and snow: "Several immortal family seniors, which city are you from?

Bestiality?

Mu Qing's five people were all moved when they heard this. Xindao: I really guessed right!

Seeing that the old man was a mortal, Mu Qing said, "I'm just passing by here, dare to ask if there are monks in this city?"

The old man said, "Yes—the lord of the city is a monk, and there are many monks from nearby cities. They are all in the City Lord's Mansion now, right in the center of the city, and the tallest tower is!"

Mu Qing said again: "What kind of cultivation is your city lord?"

The old man thought for a while, and said with a sad face: "The immortal family can ask the little old man, we are just mortals, responsible for building and defending the city, as for the cultivation of the monks in the city, the little old man is not clear." ”

Mu Qing nodded, and said, "Do you know the location of Hanxiao City?"

The old man said: "This little old man of Hanxiao City has heard of it, but it is a monk city, it is the core of the Hanxiao clan, and it is far away from here, where have we mortals been there? ”

It seems that the location of this cold city must be found by the monk.

After thinking about it, Mu Qing said again: "What's the matter with the beast chaos in your mouth just now?"

The old man said: "I don't know exactly what's going on, but I heard from the seniors of the immortal family that several small cities in the north have been attacked by a large number of demon beasts, monks and mortals have died and fled, and our Baisha City is the strongest within a radius of thousands of miles, so many people have come to our city for refuge." ”

Hearing the old man's words, the five of them couldn't help but feel a little worried, but seeing that it was difficult to hear the detailed news from these mortals, Mu Qing said "Thank you", and the five of them urged to retreat and go straight to the center of the city.

……

There is indeed a tall tower in the center of the city, shaped like a string of sugar gourds, from top to bottom, from small to large stacked with five "hawthorn fruits", on the highest "hawthorn", a row of light shines out from the window, as if hanging a necklace for the "hawthorn".

The five people stood outside the window in the void, discussed it slightly, Mu Qing cupped his fists in the void, and said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, please pass by, look at the city lord." ”

Soon, a small door opened on the "hawthorn", and a figure walked out, saying, "The wind and snow outside are too great to hear clearly!

Mu Qing, Yukun, and Ling Xu glanced at each other and fell towards the door.

This "hawthorn" is a large hall with a width of hundreds of zhang, the hall is brightly lit, there are three or four hundred monks, surrounded by three circles, there are more than 200 people in the outermost circle, it is the spiritual period, the middle circle is seventy or eighty people, it is the spiritual period, there are more than 30 people in the inner circle, and there are three old men in the center.

The person who brought the five people in was also a spiritual crystal stage monk, and after coming in, he hugged his fist at the three old men, and sat back in his seat.

Seeing the five people coming in, the whole monk looked at the five people, and one of the three old men waved at the five people, and said, "Listen to the accent of this Taoist friend just now, isn't it my monk from Chituo Kingdom?"

Judging by the position and demeanor of this person, it should be the city lord.

Mu Qing hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "What the senior said is right, the junior Yang Qing has passed here with a few fellow travelers." Suddenly, he turned to a voice transmission and said to the old man: "The junior wants to ask you about the location of Hanxiao City, and if you know, you will leave, and you will not be disturbed." ”

The old man didn't have the slightest scruple, he smiled when he heard this, and said loudly: "Yang Xiaodaoyou doesn't have to hide, most of these monks above the Spirit Crystal Stage here are preparing to participate in the Ling Xue Festival, even if they are not Ice Spirit Roots, and they don't have Ice Attribute Demon Beasts, they are all ready to join in the fun! Moreover, there are quite a few outsiders!"

As soon as these words came out, a few monks with accents other than Chituo Kingdom echoed and spoke, and one of them said: "Yes, yes, I am a loose cultivator of Ziyang Kingdom, and I also rushed over after hearing the news of Ling Xue's grand meeting." Is Daoyou also from the Ziyang Kingdom?"

Mu Qing had a slight look of embarrassment on his face, nodded at the man, and then looked at the old man in the middle again, and said, "It turns out that there are so many people who are on the same road. So...... Everyone is here, but it's ......"

The old man nodded, and asked five chairs to be brought and placed in the inner circle. Waiting for Mu Qing and the five of them to sit down, the old man spoke: "The old man's surname is Cheng, he is the lord of this city, and he is also the patriarch of his own clan, and others call me Cheng Qibo. ”

Ling Xu sent a message to Mu Qing: "Although there are also sects in the Chituo Kingdom, more monks are based on the family unit, this person is the patriarch, and his status is equivalent to the sect master. ”

Cheng Qibo continued: "These two beside me are Patriarch Ji and Patriarch Jiang, their families are nearby, and my three clans have now come together to fight against the beast rebellion!"

Mu Qing and the five of them got up again and saluted Ji and Jiang, the two seniors of the Lingyuan Period.

After the five of them sat down again, Cheng Qibo began to tell about the beastly chaos.

It turned out that since more than two months ago, for some reason, the demon beasts of the Hundred Ghost Plains suddenly went crazy and attacked the human territory on a large scale, and more than a dozen small cities in the east suffered one after another, the monks died and fled, and the mortals were even more miserable, and the beasts were chaotic and were eaten cleanly, and even the corpses could not be left.

The city lords and patriarchs of these small cities saw that they were difficult to fight on their own, so they began to assemble, preparing to work together to resist this beast rebellion, and most of these monks in front of them were from the nearby Cheng, Ji, and Jiang clans, and some escaped from those cities that had been attacked by demon beasts before.

After saying this, Cheng Qibo looked at Mu Qing and the five people, and said: "A few people want to inquire about Hanxiao City, but you may not know that to get to this Hanxiao City, you must first pass through a piece of ice and snow fog, this ice and snow fog stretches for thousands of miles, and after entering, the divine sense will be greatly restricted, and even the direction is not accurate, without some special methods, you will be lost in it forever! For thousands of years, countless monks have died in the fog, and even there are many famous and surnamed Lingyuan stage monks!"
