【Longzhong City】

Today, the snow in Longzhong City seems to have drifted to every corner of the empire. The news that the big devil is about to awaken in Longzhong City is becoming more and more real, so much so that practitioners who just want to join in the fun have arrived overnight.

Longzhong City.

Perhaps, as the rumors say, Xu Jiaqing has first-hand information on the awakening of the Great Demon King. Although it is rumored that Xu Jiaqing obtained the [Heart Stone] of the Great Demon King on the first day, and then threatened the First Day Demon King.

The Great Demon King asked him to open the Babel Tower in Longzhong City in order to become a saint in one step. However, the second most reliable news was that on the first day, the Great Demon King selected the area closest to the center of the empire and prepared to use the Babel Magic Circle.

Opening the Sky Tower in this area, which is Longzhong City, Xu Jiaqing, as the leader behind Longzhong City, of course refused, so he had to convene a banquet of heroes and discuss countermeasures with everyone. He had nothing to do with the First Day Demon King himself.

According to the news announced by Xu Jiaqing, he did know that the Great Demon King of the First Day would come to Longzhong City and open the Babel Tower. He and the Great Demon King of the First Day fought for a few days of grace. The Great Demon King of the First Day was still considered

He had a bit of conscience and promised to take action after a month. In Xu Jiaqing's story, his helplessness, his incompetence, and his desire for the world all made him argue with the big devil on the first day.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

No one really knows the truth, but no one thinks that the story told by Xu Jiaqing is correct. Such a cunning and cunning person will not hesitate to tell a story full of loopholes.

Everyone said that this was a game, one for the huge business in Longzhong City, and the other for bringing glory to the Xu family. If you were thicker-skinned, everyone would have nothing to say, and they would just laugh and talk behind the scenes, but it would not hurt Xu Jiaqing.

Majestic, after all, his financial resources are here, and not many people dare to say anything.

Even if I heard that this group of heroes had a banquet with free wine and good food, I would still have to say Xu Jiaqing is taller with a smile than a thumbs up.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Jiaqing may not feel comfortable with these titles, because the White Deer King of Fuzhen Si has come, and the business in Longzhong City cannot be continued, and Xu Jiaqing was investigated by the White Deer King overnight.

, I spent several days in jail, which was really uncomfortable. Not only did I lose my profit, I also lost most of my reputation.

No, why do you think the White Deer King dared to investigate Xu Jiaqing, the local tyrant?

Because the White Deer King is not an ordinary person...

"You have to announce the arrival of the Great Demon King at this time? I think you are attacked by demonic energy! It has invaded your mind!" Li Lusheng looked at the tied Xu Jiaqing, feeling annoyed in his heart.

Come on, he patted the table, but said quietly without making much noise: "How many frontline soldiers are stationed in the front to prepare for the war? Do you know that as soon as your news comes out, we must prevent a fire in the backyard? It will delay the military time.

If the arrow is on the string but does not fire, it will frighten the bow! Before hurting the enemy, you will hurt yourself first! Do you know the anger of the Holy Sage! How big is it? If he wants me to see you, I will kill you without mercy!"

The weight of this sentence was so frightening that it seemed like he was gritting his teeth when saying it, and he was also chewing the words.

Xu Jiaqing didn't speak, just lowered her head and looked at him.

His thin body is already stooped enough that he doesn't look like a middle-aged man at all.

There is cold air all around, and the snow in winter is like burning blood, which also wakes people up.

"Before the matter is clear, our brothers can't withdraw their troops, or they can't withdraw their troops. Being caught in the middle, it suddenly becomes extremely difficult. The armament and food supplies that have been delayed for a month have been wasted in vain! You know

How serious is your crime? Even three generations of your family have not been able to pay it back!" Li Lusheng's anger directly burned the two small water spirit antlers on his head red, and then he became angry and stared at Xu Jiaqing fiercely.

.

Xu Jiaqing, who looked like a little old man, just kept silent, his eyes were dull, as if all his answers had lost their meaning.

"I'm going to ask you now! Is what you said true?" Li Lusheng was impatient and slammed the table.

Li Lusheng looked at the annoying guy in front of him. His silence caused Li Lusheng's fist to be suppressed, causing a big hole to hit the ground.

Xu Jiaqing's age seems to be becoming visible day by day. Now, covered by his completely white hair, only his "curled up" wrinkled eyes can be seen.

"It's...really..."

He coughed violently, making a terrible snoring sound from his trachea. Then he calmed down. He looked at Li Lusheng, and the gleam of light in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Li Lusheng looked at him. He was not in a daze, just in disbelief, because when he saw Xu Jiaqing just a few days ago, Xu Jiaqing's appearance was definitely not like this.

He didn't speak, he just sat down solemnly. The lights here were extremely dim even in winter.

"I...I am a father..."

Xu Jiaqing spoke...

Like a deep bell ringing.

"After I die... please... tell my child... that he must... live well..."

His words became very soft again, and the loud bell-like voice suddenly choked him again, like a cold bird touching the snow on a winter night, disappearing without a trace...

"What?" Li Lusheng sat up suddenly. This inexplicable answer...or rather this inexplicable talking to himself, this inexplicable entrustment made this man look so terrible.

He sat down again, lost, looking at the snow outside the house. Suddenly, a tiny blue light rushed to the corner of his eyes, making him stare straight at it.

That's...

Or maybe it's because I'm dazzled.

It was an icy blue flower, swaying and falling in the sky. The cold light on it... was like falling stars.

He stood up immediately, put on his clothes from the shelf and walked over. The antlers of the deer were crystal clear and also lit up with blue light, but the blue light of this flower was different. The cold air penetrated the body and penetrated straight to the heart.

He turned back and glanced at Xu Jiaqing in the room. He was standing hunched under the dim light, like a dead branch. His body was so thin and weak, completely different from the figure a few days ago.

Look again, that flower...

It seemed to have fallen deeply into the ground, into the snow. It was a flower made of ice crystals, with mottled and cracked petals. He did not dare to get close, so he could only watch from a distance. The tiny sound of beeping was like

It's ice crystals cracking.

He suddenly thought of something and touched his face in surprise and fear. Cold sweat broke out from his forehead and slowly slid down his face as he spoke.

"Asshole!" He turned around and looked at the figure in the room. What on earth did that person standing quietly know?

"Everyone! Be alert! Seal the city immediately! Let them retreat!"

He gritted his teeth again and shouted loudly.

Li Lusheng started running. He jumped onto the gate of the Zhengfa Department and ran quickly on the high wall.

The team of the Zhengfa Department quickly rushed out of the hall of the Zhengfa Department. They eagerly rang the fire alarm bells, [Dang! Dang! Dang!], which was enough to reach the ears of all the people who had their doors and windows closed. At this time,

Thousands of lights in Longzhong City light up one after another, just like the scene before the curfew.

However, the fire alarm was a bad omen, so they all eagerly poked their heads out to see which house was so unlucky that it caught fire in the snowy day.

"Hey... let's go take a look too..."

Tachibana Junyi pushed Chang Yufeng who was practicing. Chang Yufeng opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Why?" Junichi Tachibana rubbed her waist unmotivated, and she was also awakened by the sound of the bell: "These days, it's not as fun as the past few days. There's a curfew every day these days, it's really boring to death...

...There's a fire...don't you want to go take a look? It's a fun thing...although...well...it's very unethical..."

"I'm not going..." Chang Yufeng still shook his head. Tachibana Junyi didn't know why he didn't go to watch the fun, and went back to bed a little disappointed.

She lay on the bed with her arms spread wide, looking at the ceiling boredly.

"It's so strange...don't you think so?" Tachibana Junyi looked at Chang Yufeng who was meditating. He concentrated his energy and let the spiritual power pass through his Dantian and then settle down.

"Hiss... I feel... so strange... Why didn't this banquet of heroes stop as soon as the White Deer King came... Xu Jiaqing seems to have no news. Logically speaking, at this time, shouldn't Xu Jiaqing come out to announce the two parties?

Is there going to be a banquet of heroes in the future? Also... the banquet of heroes that was rumored at that time had many rules and so on... We didn't receive an invitation, so it seems we can only sit down and watch."

Ju Chun paused and looked at the ceiling again.

"The Banquet of Heroes is obviously a scam... right?"

"I don't know..." Chang Yufeng shook his head silently.

In the past few days, everyone in the inn has been spreading rumors about this matter, but no one is sure of it. It is all nonsense and hearsay. It is a gimmick. Even Xu Jiaqing is the first day devil.

Future generations will be able to see through such silly things.

It's just a fire.

"Hey, I don't know what your attitude is towards the prophecy on that handkerchief. That woman wants you to kill Lan Luo. Maybe you are the son of destiny, right? What kind of god is coming?

Help you guide the way, it’s so miraculous, others don’t believe it, but I believe it, right? I saw with my own eyes the woman who predicted it appeared in front of me.”

Tachibana looked at her fingers boredly and flicked her nails.

"It's actually hard for me to make a decision..." Chang Yufeng sighed and put his hands on his knees: "Let's not talk about the power of the big devil on the first day. When she appeared, all the cultivators wanted to take advantage of her.

On the plus side, in the past few days we have also met so many cultivators who regard the Great Demon King of the First Day as a plaything, and they know nothing about the Great Demon King of the First Day."

"Then... what should I do?" Tachibana touched his hair, smoothed it down and said, "I don't know where I lost my book. These are secrets that I only know when I become a guardian... the records of the seven demon kings.

They are all just fictitious legends like Xu Jiaqing’s…the real information has long been blocked…”

Tachibana Junyi closed his eyes, twisted his shoulders on the bed and changed into a comfortable position to sleep.

"Hmm... So, in this matter, I can only and must make a careful decision, no matter whether I will kill the great devil in this world like other cultivators."

He paused and looked out the window at the brightly lit night.

"So what...it seems like it's rare for me right now that I don't take sides...I don't stand in any camp."

"Faction? What is it? Which camp did you stand in before?"

As soon as Ju Chun opened his eyes, he looked at Chang Yufeng again, but Chang Yufeng did not speak.

Just looking at the bedside.

"It's nothing... I just feel like a camp... it's so complicated... I can't tell... or in other words, who is the grasshopper in the same boat, it makes me confused..."
