Chapter 19: Demon Race
The sun sets.
On an official road thousands of miles away from Baiyu City.
The convoy of Daqian Escort Shop is moving forward carrying goods.
Sun Fan, the leading bodyguard, shouted: "Everyone, work harder, we are reaching Yunzhen ahead."
His words cheered up the convoy of more than sixty people.
Soon, after walking about ten miles again, a small town appeared in front of everyone.
only……
It was obviously nightfall, but there was no smell of fireworks in the whole town, instead it was dead silent.
As the destruction caused by the Sunset Disaster gradually receded, the people who had fled to surrounding sects, aristocratic families, and cities for refuge have returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. In the past few months, Sun Fan has visited Yun Town twice. The town attracted The number of people in the surrounding area has grown to five to six thousand, how could it be...
"It smells like blood!"
Soon, Sun Fan noticed something and shouted: "Form up! Be on guard!"
Immediately, the twelve Qi Refining monks in the team quickly formed a formation, and those who could not participate in the formation also quickly wielded guns and swords, with their faces full of alert.
The convoy moved forward, and when it entered Yun Town, the scene inside made everyone's expressions change drastically.
Bloodstains!
Bloodstains can be seen everywhere!
In addition, the newly built town is full of ruins, as if it has experienced a war.
An experienced escort quickly landed on a broken beam, where there were the torn claw marks of a beast.
"Such traces... of demons!?"
"Not a monster!"
Sun Fan's face looked a little ugly. He glanced at the human bones not far away that were still stained with some flesh foam, as well as the tooth marks left on the bones...
"It's a demon!"
"Demon!"
The other escorts' pupils narrowed.
"Didn't our human race have a truce with the demon race? How dare they..."
"A truce? Although the human race and the demon race have ceased war due to the disaster of evil spirits, the blood feud accumulated over countless years cannot be easily resolved. Like us, can we dare to step into the Black Ridge Mountains?"
Sun Fan took a deep breath.
The human race uses demons to refine elixirs and weapons.
The monsters cannibalize people and increase their intelligence.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction. The evil disaster only shifts this contradiction, but it does not mean that it no longer exists.
Under the rule of Taixu, aristocratic families were allowed to build castles and towns hundreds of miles outside the city, and sects were allowed to occupy mountains and establish sects thousands of miles outside the city. The purpose was to check and monitor the demon clan to prevent them from easily sneaking into the city and killing people. .
"This direction... was originally guarded by the Frost Sword Sect. Inward were two families, the Yun Family and the Zhou Family, which were guarded by Ningzhen cultivators. A few months ago, during the human-demon disaster, the Frost Sword Sect was killed. These two cultivators The family was not spared either, so there was a vacancy in the layout facing the Black Ridge Mountains... and the monster clan was rampant! "
Sun Fan said, regardless of the fact that it was getting late, he said quickly: "Let's go, let's go right away, and drive all night to return to White Jade City!"
…
This is the layout of Taixu.
A Dao domain governs each city.
At the outermost edge of the city is the sect.
No taxes required, land is king.
Correspondingly, if you encounter a disaster, you will also need to pay a price when requesting Tianjian Academy's assistance from the city.
Therefore, those who have the courage to open a sect are usually not weak.
For example, among the four major sects in White Jade City, two are in the Golden Core Realm.
The Frost Sword Sect was also founded by Jindan monks, but it fell away a hundred years ago.
As some powerful sects continue to develop, they can choose to build cities and open territories and integrate into the Taixu sect system.
The Taixu Sect, one of the ten sects of the human race, came from this.
Inside the sect is a small town built by aristocratic families.
The town will pay taxes to the city, and the city will also provide certain protection to the town.
But the promotion, relocation, rewards, and punishments inside are all controlled by the family, which is equivalent to an autonomous region.
Of course, the town established by the family must still abide by some basic rules, such as not killing mortals without reason, etc.
The Liu family occupied a place three hundred miles away from Baiyu City and built a castle. The family had thousands of children and nearly 10,000 servants.
Many other people who had difficulty establishing themselves in Baiyu City spontaneously gathered around the castle and formed a small town called Liu Town.
Due to the reputation of the Liu family and the fact that it is not far from the city, Liu Town has a population of 100,000 so far.
However, Liu Chengyuan didn't know much about this.
At this time, he still maintained his ladylike demeanor of staying close to home.
In addition to practicing, I study the art of Tianji and the world of Tianji. From time to time, I brag with the netizens, come up with some powerful words, and enjoy the admiration and admiration of the netizens...
He was completely immersed in this kind of life where he could eat, sleep, and surf the Internet, and he could feel himself getting stronger bit by bit all the time.
In this month, in addition to "Light of Taixu", he was invited to add the domain names of "Nine Domain Peaks" and "Humanity Yongchang".
There are few people inside, it is quiet, but the conversation is very nice.
The only drawback is that the "Internet speed" is too slow.
Dozens or dozens of messages were sent by others, and he could only reply with simple words such as "um", "oh" and "ok".
The most complicated ones are at best two or three-byte words such as "got it" and "can".
But it doesn’t matter…
Human potential is unlimited.
Forced and tortured by the maddeningly slow "Internet speed", his Heavenly Secret Technique improved by leaps and bounds. No, this morning, he finally broke through to the third level of heaven.
…
"We are finally about to move from the 2G era to the 3G era!"
Liu Chengyuan was full of emotion.
Thinking of my efforts over the past month...
If he had had this kind of enthusiasm and energy in his previous life, he might have been able to get the top spot in the exam.
At this time, Yuan Hai's voice was heard outside the training room.
"Master, Miss Lin is here again."
"Again? How many times?"
"This is the fifth time. Once thirty-four days ago, I returned the Anshen Mirror thirty days ago, invited you to go outing twenty days ago, and sent you delicious food ten days ago. This is the fifth time."
"It's quite regular."
Liu Chengyuan said, and replied: "I don't need to tell you how to send her away, right?"
"This time, Lin Xuewei is not the only one who came. In addition to Lin Xuewei, there is also Lin Chongshan."
"So what? Keep sending her away..."
Before Liu Chengyuan finished speaking, Yuan Hai had already added: "They also brought a thousand spirit stones."
Liu Chengyuan paused.
Then, he stood up and pushed open the door of the training room.
"A thousand spirit stones?"
Because of the use of Qi Condensation Pills in his training, he spent money like water in a month, and his savings were decreasing at a visible rate.
These thousand spirit stones...
It came at the right time.
"It seems that they finally recognize their position."
"Since Lin Yuxiu was taught a lesson by you, young master, many families have been observing the Lin's business. Last month, Lin Xuewei didn't even see your people. They have already made some moves. This month, the Lin's Chamber of Commerce has not had a good time."
Yuan Hai smiled and said, "However, young master, you haven't really expressed your position yet, and their actions are not obvious yet."
Probing.
But just probing is still a huge pressure for the Lin's Chamber of Commerce.
"For the sake of one thousand spirit stones, I will meet them."
Liu Chengyuan said, thinking of something: "Ask Yin Yuchan to go with me."
"I understand."
Yuan Hai smiled and responded: "I will ask Miss Yin to go, and I will tell her what to do."
"How to do it?"
Liu Chengyuan glanced at him.
Yuan Hai laughed and retreated.
Liu Chengyuan was speechless.
He called Yin Yuchan because she was the most powerful, at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He felt safe with her. If Lin Xuewei got angry and blood splattered five steps away, he had to take precautions, right?
What was Yuan Hai thinking about?
Soon, Liu Chengyuan came to the living room.
Yin Yuchan was waiting here first.
Seeing him coming, she bowed: "Young Master."
Liu Chengyuan nodded and looked at Lin Chongshan and Lin Xuewei who also stood up to greet him.
Lin Xuewei was obviously dressed up carefully today.
She was wearing a white wide-sleeved fairy dress with blue butterfly patterns on it. She had a well-behaved and quiet long hair, which looked elegant and dignified. The purple jade hairpin on it was shining.
At this time, her pitiful little face looked at Liu Chengyuan with a trace of grievance.
There was a trace of mist in her charming eyes, and she was about to cry under the special makeup.
Especially when she saw Liu Chengyuan looking at her, she bit her moist and shiny red lips, which was extremely tempting.
"Ah Yuan..."
"Ahem."
Liu Chengyuan finally understood why the original body was fascinated by Lin Xuewei.
"Why is President Lin here?"
Liu Chengyuan shifted his gaze.
"I didn't expect that my unfilial daughter would do such a deceitful thing, even daring to sell the magic tools on Young Master Liu... I wanted to buy all these magic tools back, but these magic tools have been circulated for several times, and some buyers have even left Baiyu City, so that I can't trace them back. Fortunately, the selling price is still acceptable. Please accept this thousand spirit stones, Young Master Liu."
Lin Chongshan quickly presented the Wanlingyuan's thousand spirit stone deposit card, with a very humble attitude.
"One thousand spirit stones, this price is indeed okay."
Liu Chengyuan replied.
Yin Yuchan reached out and took the deposit card.
Whether there is poison on it, it must be avoided by this ninth-level Qi Refining master.
Seeing Liu Chengyuan accept the thousand spirit stones casually, he who had been paying close attention to his expression immediately said again: "In addition..."
He turned his eyes to Lin Xuewei and said sternly: "Kneel down!"
"A Yuan..."
Lin Xuewei called again.
The delicate little face was already tearful.
But Liu Chengyuan was indifferent.
Seeing this, Lin Zhongshan shouted again without hesitation: "Kneel down in front of Young Master Liu and apologize to him!"
Lin Xuewei bit her red lips, came to Liu Chengyuan, and knelt down gracefully.
"I am really heartbroken that my daughter has done such a deceitful thing. Today, you can be beaten and punished at Young Master Liu's disposal!"
After saying this, Lin Zhongshan resolutely turned around and left.
It seemed as if he had completely handed Lin Xuewei over to him.
Liu Chengyuan glanced at her.
Lin Xuewei looked up at Liu Chengyuan while feeling wronged, her soft long hair drooped down her shoulders and scattered on her chest.
This expression of pity mixed with stubbornness...
Plus the height at which she kneeled at this moment...
And the sexy collarbone at a special angle when he looked down...
And his eyes moving downwards...
This woman...
is so good.
