In the early morning when the air was fresh and everything was full of vitality, when the early birds were still singing on the branches. A thick stench of blood and death filled the conversation of the townspeople of Weier Town.
As the saying went, there must be a demon behind everything that went wrong. And according to the current situation, this "demon" seemed to have some background.
"Hey, have you heard?" The townspeople who had gotten up early to buy bread gathered around a group of acquaintances, looking mysterious and strange.
"What made you so excited?”
Everyone loved gossip. As a result, he was immediately surrounded.
"This morning, the whole family of the noble Lord Snoor de Ville in this town was exterminated.”When he said this, the townsfolk who bought the bread looked excited, as if they were proud of having first-hand information.
Silence, a deathly silence, followed by a burst of earth-shattering cheers from the crowd. Everyone was ecstatic, and waves of joy flowed from the bottom of their hearts. This news was too satisfying and exciting.
"Annihilate a sect? Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable, had this family finally suffered retribution?”
"Has the Three Pure Ones Holy Man finally sent down divine lightning to take this skinner?”
"Serves us right. This is the only family in the southwest that gives out usury every day and exploits us with all their might. Now that we're all free citizens, I'll see who can still collect taxes from us.”
Master Snoor de Ville was the actual controller of Ville Town. The fief of Ville Town had belonged to his family for more than a hundred years. The original Mr. Will was a Daoist believer who believed in inaction. He paid little taxes and was kind to others. As the population of the town increased, the tax revenue increased instead of decreasing. Not only did he earn fame, but he also had money. This made Master Will's reputation even higher.
However, when Mr. Will's son inherited his father's inheritance, everything changed greatly.
Crazy usury, printing money, and even travel fees at checkpoints, he used all sorts of methods to collect money. Compared to his predecessor, this was simply a world of difference. This was the reason why the townspeople hated him so much. Now that he had died, it meant that he could say goodbye to the hateful customs money and stamp money. Although he didn't know who did it, he couldn't help but cheer for such a satisfying thing.
However, a certain someone suddenly said something that made the people in the town turn cold."Annihilation? Could it be that the demons have appeared again?”
He was trembling and his face was pale. The townspeople who forced themselves to stay calm looked angrily at the townspeople who interrupted. It was obvious that they were trying to refute and calm themselves down.
This was a taboo, a great fear. When they heard this name that they wished they could never hear again, everyone glared at the person who spoke in unison. Then, saliva splattered everywhere.
"How is that possible? This is the arrangement of the heavens. That damned noble has been punished by the heavens. Where did this demon come from?!”
"That's right, that's right. Otherwise, why would the baron's family be the only ones who died, and not a single person in the town died?”
Countless rebuttals filled the air, causing those who doubted him to rationally choose to shut up. No one was willing to see the old enemy of yaomo appear again. Therefore, even in terms of words, he had to throw him into hell without a chance to rise again.
" Stop arguing. The child's words are true. The baron's entire family was wiped out by the demons," an old voice said slowly. A white-haired old man shakily walked into the crowd with a walking stick.
Although his voice wasn't loud, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in their ears, making the townspeople dizzy and terrified.
"T-mayor!" The crowd that had automatically dispersed looked at the mayor who had not come out for a long time in shock. Their hearts were filled with fear and terror.
"The entire family, old and young, had their stomachs cut open, and their internal organs were eaten without a trace. It has been confirmed that they were eaten by demons.”Sighing, the old look on his face became even more obvious. Long Zhong's old appearance made him look even more desolate.
The highly respected mayor never spoke nonsense, so his words were already believed by 70 to 80 percent. However, the chaos that it caused was no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake. It caused everyone to panic.
"Demons, how could this be? Demons are out to eat people again!!”
"Sob, sob, what should we do?"
"Call Big Sword over!”
"Bastard, you heretic, how dare you call yourself Big Sword! Get out of town!”
"Tch, I will leave even without you. In a town inhabited by yaomo, whoever wants to stay can stay.”
"Don't worry, the mayor has already used a voice transmission talisman to invite the 'Immortal' to descend…!”
As he spoke, a sword Qi descended from the sky and struck the head of the man who had just revealed a disdainful expression.
The man's head was like a watermelon, making a crisp cracking sound. Then, a large amount of purple blood spurted out.
" A..." A green light flashed, and a figure appeared at the place where the " murder " had just happened. Under the dumbfounded gaze of his companion, he calmly picked up the demon core from the brain and put it into a gourd.
He was dressed in a green robe and a black robe. He looked like an immortal. A sword hung on his back, making him look calm. The war was not stained with the blood of living beings. Even when he killed the demon, there was not a single trace of blood on his body. The scar on the left side of his face was clearly visible, but it added a hint of fortitude.
The twenty-third generation disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Desire the Heavens!
The crowd was stunned at first, then their shocked faces turned into fanatical expressions.
Immortals! He actually met an immortal in his lifetime! My life is worth it!
In the crowd, some people looked nervous and their eyes flickered as if they were hesitating about something.
"You should have transformed when you saw us.”A mocking voice and a contemptuous gaze. In the blink of an eye, a navy blue figure appeared in front of him.
" W-When…" Before he could figure it out, he felt a chill on his neck. When he turned around, he saw his body lying straight on the ground.
"The second one." Smiling, he gave a thumbs-up to the fanatical townspeople. The young man immediately turned to Heaven Desire and shouted," Aiyo, Brother Heaven, it's not a good habit to eat alone. You started without saying anything. Do you still have me in your eyes?"”
"…I'm sorry, Senior Brother Cangxie." After a long silence, he squeezed out a few words like squeezing toothpaste. The person who said it was sad, and the person who heard it was even sadder.
" Forget it, forget it. It's really tiring to talk to a stoic like you." Cang Xie shrugged helplessly and revealed that devilish smile again. He was handsome and exuded an intoxicating atmosphere. For a moment, all the ladies present threw flowers, bread, and apples at Cang Xie. It was as if today was the Clothes Festival and the bloody scene was just an illusion.
"Hey, Junior Brother Cangtian, my good junior brother, can you help your senior brother? Look at me, I can't even kill the demons.”Cang Xie, who was buried alive by the mountain of gifts, struggled to get his head out of the pile of gifts and asked for help from Heaven Desire.
"I don't want to." It was a simple and cold rejection.
"Aiya, you're really cold." Sighing, Cang Xie looked at the two beautiful figures not far away. His eyes immediately emitted a golden light.
"Junior martial sister Xiao Wu's movement technique is becoming more agile. Aiya, junior martial sister Yueqing's sword moves are even sharper. Tsk tsk…"
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!”After finishing off the demon next to them with two swift and clean strikes, the two girls simultaneously snatched the apples from the hands of the people beside them and attacked the mouth and eyes of a certain chatterbox. Amidst a series of wails, a certain someone fell to the ground on his back and was no longer breathing…
A hand stretched out and picked up the demon core on the ground. A green light swept over it, and after a long time, he sighed slightly,"This quality doesn't seem to be very good."”
