At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, and the originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, accompanied by a suffocating majestic coercion enveloping the whole city, and the people stopped what they were doing, dazed and at a loss. Han Zongxian's expression changed greatly: "It's the demon cultivator who returned to the Demon Gate! Dao'an, you quickly follow what I said, run the exercises!"

Although Wu Daoan was at a loss, he still did as he said. The mantra Han Zongxian said was very strange, the more she exercised, the more drowsy she became, and in the end she actually fell headlong on the table and didn't wake up.

After she woke up quietly, she found Han Zongxian pacing in the inn with a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger. She stood up with some confusion, and found that she couldn't feel the slightest breath of life around her. The little girl who sold flowers fell to the ground at this time, and the flowers in her hands were scattered all over the ground. Xiao Er and the customers in the store, as well as the hurried pedestrians outside the store, were all lying motionless on the ground at this time, and their bodies were completely lifeless.

Surprised, she ran out of the inn and looked around, but there was no living person in sight. The small city, which was bustling with excitement just now, has become a dead city in the blink of an eye. She ran back to the inn and asked in a trembling voice, "Old Han, what's going on?

Han Zongxian's face was cold: "It's the Demon Cultivator Slaughtering the City." ”

The word slaughtering the city made Wu Daoan's head jump suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that Han Zongxian had indeed said that some demon cultivators often went directly to some small cities to slaughter living beings in order to practice some demon gate magic weapons or practice demon gate exercises. But hearing about it and seeing it with her own eyes are two different concepts, and the dead corpses all over the city make her can't help but chill in her heart. She also understood that if she didn't rely on the exercises of the Han Zongxian Sect just now, she would hold back her breath. Mixed with the Demon Cultivator's Divine Sense Exploration. I'm afraid I'm also a corpse now. After escaping from Xuanbing Star, she thought it was much safer, but now she realized that in this world of the jungle, people without strength will never be safe.

In the end, it was Han Zongxian who took Wu Daoan out of this dead city. What I saw along the way, not to mention people, even livestock, chickens and ducks also died. After leaving the city, Han Zongxian stopped and swore to the sky: "I, Han, will kill the demon who committed today's murder if I live for one day!"

Of course, with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to fulfill his oath. The demon cultivators who can slaughter the whole city in the blink of an eye, not to mention the cultivation of the Yuan infancy. He can only be killed after he regains his former strength. Now the imperative. Or return to Qingluan Valley, where you can quickly recover your strength with the help of various elixir magic weapons. Although Wu Daoan is not a disciple of Qingluan Valley, after arriving there, he will definitely be treated well with Han Zongxian's light. Then try to take the next step.

In fact, compared to improving strength. Wu Daoan's more urgent thing was to break into the cloud sect that day to rescue Shui Yuehan. It's just that the idea is too far away. After all, killing her in a Yuan Infant Stage is like killing an ant, not to mention the high Convergence Period? Han Zongxian had a specific plan, that is, to try to infiltrate the Tianyun Sect as a disciple first. Then slowly find out the specific whereabouts of Qing Shui Yuehan. It's just that the Tianyun Giant Star and Zhu Chenxing, where the Tianyun Sect is located, are separated by an unknown number of galaxies, and they need to travel through many interstellar teleportation arrays to reach it, and the teleportation fee is even more sky-high, not to mention tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, which she can't afford at the moment. Han Zongxian didn't have any other tricks, so he could only comfort her a few words, saying that he would discuss with his senior brother after he arrived in Qingluan Valley.

The two of them left the dead silence of Beiyang City with their own hearts and continued on the road. Now that Wu Daoan's strength has not recovered, he can't rush for a long time, so Han Zongxian bought two good horses in the next city, and the two of them rode on horseback. According to Han Zongxian's theory, since they have all arrived at Zhu Chenxing, there is no need to worry, walk slowly along the way and see more scenery, maybe there will be something to gain. At this time, they were only more than a thousand miles away from the Qingluan Valley, and even ten days of horseback riding was enough.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Along the way, Han Zongxian told a lot of Zhu Chenxing's customs and folk anecdotes, which also made Wu Daoan's mood much better. On this day, the two of them were still galloping on the post road, and Han Zongxian suddenly said: "This is a hundred miles to the east, which is my hometown Aoki City." ”

Wu Daoan hurriedly stopped his horse when he heard this: "Old Han, why didn't you say it earlier." You haven't been home for so long, so it's time to go back and have a look. ”

"What are you going to see when you go back?" Han Zongxian's voice was full of melancholy: "In the past two hundred years, personnel have changed, relatives are all loess, and the remaining juniors have never known me, seeing it is like seeing outsiders, what should I do when I go back?"

Wu Daoan disagreed: "The fallen leaves return to the roots, the fox dies in the first hill, it is also the place where you were born and raised, why should you go back and take a look." Actually, you must be very worried about the situation in your hometown, right?"

Han Zongxian, who has always been sharp-toothed, actually nodded and acquiesced at this moment. It can be seen that he also wants to go, but he is more timid about his hometown. So they turned their horses around and headed east.

However, the farther east he went, the tighter Han Zongxian's brows became. Slowly, Wu Daoan also felt that something was wrong: Why did he meet many soldiers and soldiers along the way, but he didn't see ordinary pedestrians and ordinary people? Finally, Han Zongxian stopped his horse and asked a soldier passing by.

The soldier's expression was extremely impatient at first. But after Han Zongxian showed a trace of cultivation a little, he was immediately extremely respectful: "Back to Shangxian, there was a plague in Aoki City a month ago, and the imperial court locked the city with heavy troops, so we are going to change shifts."

Han Zongxian's face sank like water, and he didn't talk nonsense, pulling up Wu Daoan and abandoning the horse and galloping. Not long after, I saw a group of soldiers equipped with heavy crossbows to drain the water of a small city. A bunch of people were gathering at the gate of the city crying and begging for their lives, but the soldier commander was just shouting over and over again: "Wait for the common people to listen well, the court has an order, but if there are people who leave Aoki City for 300 steps, they will be killed!"

On closer inspection, there were many decomposing corpses lying between the walls of Aoki Castle and the army cordon, as if confirming what he had just said. The surviving people were only moving around the city wall, and they didn't dare to cross the thunder pond for half a step.

Han Zongxian didn't talk nonsense, and pulled Wu Daoan to the city gate with a few ups and downs. When the soldiers found out about his status as a monk, they obediently ignored him. And when the people at the gate of the city saw Han Zongxian, they suddenly saw a savior, and began to kneel on the ground one by one and beg for their lives: "Immortal master, you can be regarded as here, save our group of innocent people!" and some people worshiped at the feet of Wu Daoan, and they also begged for mercy: "The fairy is merciful, he must save us!"

Wu Daoan was also powerless, because as a monk, she would not be infected by the common plague, but she was also powerless to treat these people. It is said that only those who are proficient in medical pharmacology can prescribe an antidote to the plague. Han Zongxian manipulated the wind to gently push away the surrounding mortals, took Wu Daoan into the city, and came directly to a certain mansion. The smell of rotting corpses was everywhere in the city, and the courtyard was no exception, the old man and the young lady inside were all dead, and many people were not even buried, outside the house. In short, it is miserable.

Han Zongxian stood silent for a long time and sighed: "I didn't expect my Han family's ancestral house to be destroyed like this." Let's bury them. ”

The two men dug a bunch of pits in silence and buried the bodies one by one. The vast majority of people Han Zongxian didn't recognize it, so they could only set up a stone tablet without words. At the end, he put away the Han family's genealogy and tablet, took a final look at the Han family's mansion, and said quietly: "Let's go." ”

The two of them left Aoki Castle with a heavy heart. Wu Daoan broke the silence first: "What about those people who are still alive in the city?"

& A sample of the plague has been collected, and after returning to the sect, please ask the senior brother in charge to prepare the antidote himself. As for whether they can survive that time, it depends on the will of God. ”

Wu Daoan could only sigh lightly, and remembered something again: "The imperial court should have something to do with many sects, why don't you ask the Yuan Infant Monk to prepare the antidote? In this way, there will be no need to lock the city, and those people will not have to wait for death." ”

& Ting has already settled this account. The value of a small city is far less than the price of asking a Yuan Infant Monk to prepare an antidote. That's why they chose to lock the city. ”

In the eyes of those emperors and ministers, can the lives of a city be measured by money?

Han Zongxian sneered: "Human life? How much is human life worth? Are there still few dead people due to floods, droughts, natural disasters, and war famines? But so what? Civilians are ants, what are ants? No matter how much you kill, you can be born, and if you die, you will die, so why worry? And you actually say human nature? Let me tell you, human nature is a mixture of greed and fear. The imperial court locked down the city because of the fear of the spread of the plague, and refused to ask the monks for help because of greed for money, this is the answer given by human nature!"

The words were like an initiation, and Wu Daoan was speechless, so he could only follow him silently.

Because of the plague in Aoki City, the two abandoned their horses and flew with the help of magic weapons. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the mountain where Qingluan Valley was located, Han Zongxian's brows became more and more furrowed. Wu Daoan also noticed that something was wrong: Why didn't he see a monk after walking so many roads? Generally, there were always some monks active in the vicinity of the Xiuzhen Sect. Thinking of the Demon Cultivator Slaughter City and the Plague Lock City encountered along the way, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Eventually, her uneasiness came true. Standing in Qingluan City, he saw the flames in the distance from a distance, Han Zongxian's face was cold, and he grabbed a passerby casually and asked, "What happened in this Qingluan Valley?"

The passer-by sensed that Han Zongxian was unusual, and told truthfully: "I heard that it was because that Qingluan Valley offended a Supreme Elder of Zhu Chen's Holy Sect for some reason, and then he was destroyed. ”

Han Zongxian didn't say a word, and flew directly over there. Wu Daoan was quickly thrown away, and hurriedly shouted: "Old Han, wait for me!" But Han Zongxian ignored it at all, and disappeared from her field of vision after a few breaths. Wu Daoan was helpless, so he had to rush to the firelight with all his might. (To be continued.)
