Chapter 197: Cleansing Faults
Northern Regions, Tianwen District, Lonely Night City.
One after another, powerful cultivators stood on the city walls, their faces tired, but they couldn't rest.
As one of the eighteen defensive cities, Lonely Night City cannot be breached by the Hive Clan, otherwise the Hive Clan will pour into the Tianwen District from this gap and start a killing spree.
Since the city was used as a defensive line to resist the evil demons, the residents of a total of eighteen cities, including Lonely Night City, have been evacuated and replaced by cultivators from the Demon Slayer Alliance and cultivators from various forces who have voluntarily resisted the demons.
A young man walked up to the city lord of Lonely Night City and said, "City lord, go and rest for a while." ”
Since this city lord was transferred to Lonely Night City to resist the Hive, he had hardly taken a day off, either fighting the Hive or preparing to fight the Hive.
The city lord shook his head and said, "I was ordered to sit in Lonely Night City, and I must always be prepared for battle, and I must not relax. ”
His old face was full of haggardness, and he had been filled with guilt since just over a year ago, and coming to the defense to kill the Hive could dispel his guilt.
The young man left, and at the same time, he admired this city lord even more, and secretly said that he was worthy of being a senior powerhouse from the Tianwen Sect, and he was more responsible than ordinary cultivators.
This Lonely Night City Temporary Battle City Lord is a Heavenly Elder of the Tianwen Sect, known as the Punishment Elder, who cultivates to the Quasi-Senluo Realm, and is infinitely close to the Senluo Realm.
Lone Night City is not the main city among the eighteen defense line city lords, it is an ordinary city, and the pressure it faces is also smaller, and there are usually no semi-main level demons coming.
"Punishment Elder, the Demon Clan hasn't been here for two days, you better rest for a while, we'll watch for you, and we'll call you whenever there is any movement. ”
Ten young figures walked up, and a very beautiful woman who walked in front spoke.
The punishment looked at the ten people who came over, showed a smile, and said, "Shui Yue, have you completed your task?"
These ten people are the pride of Tianwen Sect, and they are the top ten Tianjiao since Lin Yansheng, Hu Jia, Luo Fu, and Fei Yuling left.
The Ten Heavenly Heroes formed a demon hunting team, which was responsible for scouting the enemy, raiding the demon stronghold, attracting the attention of the demon, finding the traitor, and dealing with it secretly.
In today's Northern Regions, the original large number of demon hunting teams has been canceled, and all of them are guarded in various border cities.
The Demon Hunting Squad came into being, which was more convenient and faster to move, and its whereabouts were more secretive, usually composed of talented young Tianjiao, and the personnel were generally between five and thirty people.
The demon hunting team in front of the punishment elder is called the Tianjiao squad, and the captain is the first Tianjiao of the Tianwen Sect, Shangguan Shuiyue.
The other nine team members are also famous Tianjiao in Tianwen Sect and even in the Northern Regions, such as Xiang Dali, Xu Chen and others.
Shangguan Shuiyue said coldly: "The task has been successfully completed, and those who colluded with the demon clan have been dealt with." ”
Among the people she disposed of, there were also people from the Tianwen Sect, but they were still killed by her mercilessly.
Now she is much stronger than three years ago, and at the same time she is much more indifferent.
The stronger you are, the more indifferent you are, maybe that's what you do.
The Elder of Punishment said with relief: "Very good, but you also have to pay attention to safety, now you, but the hope of our Tianwen Sect, especially you, Shui Yue." ”
After Lin Yansheng, Hu Jia, Luo Fu, and Fei Yuling left, Tianwen Sect still had Tianjiao, and there were also many new Tianjiao and those geniuses who were originally mediocre and had a blockbuster result.
However, what can be compared with those four people is still not ...... Until, Shangguan Shuiyue gradually showed his strength.
Today's Shangguan Shuiyue is already at the peak of the Xiaoyao Realm, and it has not been even three years since she broke through to the Xiaoyao Realm.
It's not just the improvement of cultivation, what is stronger is her strength, the higher her cultivation, the stronger the ability she shows, and now she can be called a demon genius.
And this is also the best comfort for Tianwen Sect!
"I'll take notice. Shangguan Shuiyue's voice was cold.
The punishment elder knew that Shangguan Shuiyue didn't take his words to heart, and smiled slightly bitterly, but he didn't say anything more.
He is a cultivator of the Quasi-Senluo Realm, the city lord of Lonely Night City, and the supreme commander of Lonely Night City.
However, his strength is no longer as good as Shangguan Shuiyue.
Shangguan Shuiyue said again: "Isn't the punishment elder really going to rest for a while?"
With her strength, the effect of staying here will not be worse than punishing the elders.
And she also knew why the Punishment Elder was so conscientious, it was because the Punishment Elder felt guilty.
I feel guilty that Su Zetian persecuted geniuses in the sect and that he didn't stop them, and I feel guilty for the departure of Lin Yansheng, Hu Jia, Luo Fu, and Fei Yuling.
Shangguan Shuiyue knew this, so she wanted to prove that she was no worse than the four people who left!
It's true that those four people are super arrogant, but she, how can she be.
It's just that now the Northern Regions only know that the departure of those four people is a huge loss for the Tianwen Sect, and they continue to mythologize those four people, which makes her very uncomfortable.
She is a proud person, she used to regard Luo Fu as an opponent, after Luo Fu left Tianwen Sect, she already regarded Luo Fu as an opponent, but because of those words from the outside world, Lin Yansheng, Hu Jia, and Fei Yuling were also regarded as opponents.
The Punishment Elder shook his head, looked at the boundless land outside the city, and said, "No, the Demon Clan may be preparing to attack Lonely Night City in one go, how can I, as the city lord, rest at this time." ”
His gaze became firm, and the momentum on his body became much stronger, and the original old aura instantly became like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
"Okay, then let's go. Shangguan Shuiyue didn't insist, turned around and led people away.
She wanted to stay here instead of the Punishment Elder, just to prove her strength, and since the Punishment Elder was unwilling, then forget it.
The Punishment Elder watched Shangguan Shuiyue and the others leave, and sighed slightly in his heart, he understood Shangguan Shuiyue's thoughts.
A few years ago, he knew that Shangguan Shuiyue was a proud daughter of the sky, with the psychology of not admitting defeat, even if he lost to Luo Fu a few times, he was not discouraged, but worked harder to catch up with Luo Fu.
He also knew that Shangguan Shuiyue might not be as fast as Hujia, Lin Yansheng, Luo Fu, and Fei Yuling, but this could not cover up the mistakes that Tianwenzong had made.
On that day, what Fei Yuling said to him before she killed Tianwen Sect always echoed in his heart, making him sleepless.
Therefore, the punishment of the elders was more serious than anyone in Lonely Night City, and the battle was fierce.
Because, he is cleansing his own sins by killing the demons.
He didn't want Fei Yuling and the others to forgive him, but he wanted to liberate his heart.
At this moment, the warning bell on the city wall was sounded, which represented the signal that the Hive had invaded and that the whole city was on alert and ready to fight.
