Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 100 Shanluan County Town

Shanluan County, located between the Great Plains and the Xilin Valley, is a small county several tens of miles away from the big city Dingtian City.

Not to mention the poor mountains and bad waters, because a group of monsters in the valley often go down the mountain to burn, kill and loot, the adjacent Shanluan County bears the brunt of it and suffers from it for many years, and the people living here suffer unspeakably.

No one knows the origin of this group of monsters. Even if you look at the history of the Spirit World Continent, there are very few related records.

I only heard that they seemed to have suddenly descended from the sky following a certain climate change and appeared in this valley near the river.After committing several astonishing crimes and gradually gaining fame, some lonely monsters began to appear.Over time, this place really became the headquarters of this group of aliens.

Even more sensational, according to a survivor's description, most of them seem to be some rare half-human half-demon.

This is a group destined to be excluded by the two races, mainly the children born after the combination of humans and monsters.Since then, the human race does not recognize them as humans, and the demon race does not recognize them as demons. The creatures in the cracks are doomed to be isolated wherever they go.

The race abandoned by the heavens is an existence that cannot be tolerated by the world. When all these negative elements took root in the Xilin Valley overnight, the rumors that arose with it also intensified.People even thought that this was a curse from the Creator.

The people in Shanluan County also tried to invite spiritual cultivators to help at high prices, but they don't know whether these warriors are too weak or the monsters are too powerful. After several battles, they all ended in disastrous defeat on the human side.

Gradually, no spiritual practitioners were willing to go there anymore.At the same time, the resistance of the people also intensified the contradictions between the two sides until they became irreconcilable.Under such circumstances, the abandoned Shanluan County and the people who faced the wrath of the monsters had truly become a place of death!

Those who had some savings in their hands hurriedly moved away with their family and bought another property in the next town; those who had some means worked hard to make connections, and took advantage of the opportunity of relocation to get themselves back. a little life.

In the end, those who remained were powerless civilians. Due to living in precarious conditions all year round, their bodies and minds suffering from fear were increasingly distorted into resentment. All kinds of disputes occur from time to time, and even a glance at each other while walking on the road may become the source of conflict.

I don't know if it is because of the excessive pressure of survival, the people here are even more crazy about right and wrong, and the speed of gossip is almost twice as fast as that of the outside world.

On this day, another piece of news, like a rolling sea wave, once again washed away the heated discussions in the streets and alleys.

"Hey, have you heard? The daughter of the richest man in Yongfeng City was snatched away by monsters a few days ago!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago! That richest man was one of the first to move away from our Shanluan County! The look in his eyes before he left—it was like, 'I slapped my ass and left first, you have to stay here "Death" means. Now we are still alive and well, but his daughter was taken away first! Retribution, retribution! It’s really an eye-opener, what’s so great about having a few stinky money!"

"Hahaha--"

After everyone had gloated over the misfortune of the wealthy businessman, another diner with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks broke into the conversation.

"This news is old for a long time. I'm here to tell you something that just came out. I'm sure you haven't heard of it! It is said that this time, the group of monsters were just used as guns. The real mastermind is definitely The Xuantian faction of the Tianshan Mountains!"

"Xuantian faction?" Another uncle selling steamed buns temporarily put down the steamer and came over, "Isn't the Xuantian faction always famous for their reputation? I never imagined that they would do such a shameless thing."

"So," the eyes of another little man who was drinking porridge suddenly brightened, "Since the monsters in the Xilin Valley have long colluded with the Xuantian faction, can we directly attack the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"You really don't need a brain!" An old woman selling watermelons behind her slapped her across the face, "We can't even beat their ostensible minions, and you still want to deal with the Xuantian faction? Go ahead and dream!"

"I didn't expect the Xuantian Sect to be such a sect! I really misread them before!"

"...cough, cough," just as everyone was discussing in full swing, a young man in an ice-blue robe carefully moved over with a bowl of wine, and said with an apologetic smile: "You said that the Xuantian faction ordered Xilin Valley Monster? What the hell is going on here?"

This young man seemed to appear out of nowhere, and his attire was incompatible with the folk style of this place.The water-colored brocade floats down in a streamlined shape, and the dyed robes are green and chasing the stars and the moon.The snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the mutton hosta on his head complement each other, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

Although his face was a little green because he was too young, but at the same time, there was a kind of broad-mindedness tempered by the times on his face that had just emerged from the edges and corners.These two diametrically opposed characteristics are so contradictory and integrated in one place.

The uncle selling buns stared: "Boy, who are you?" He frowned and looked him up and down, squinting his eyes and said suspiciously: "You look very natural, aren't you a local? What are you doing here with us?" gone?"

The city of Shanluan County is always threatened by monsters, and the people in the city have no time to flee. It is rare to see a new face who comes in, and they all gather around for a while, pointing and commenting on him, and the small ramen stall is immediately surrounded by crowds. Three floors inside and three floors outside.

"My little brother was out on errands and passed by here, and just now I heard the lively talk from the elder brothers, and the enthusiasm for the gossip in my heart can't help but boil!" The young man had done enough homework on the situation in Shanluan County, and the answers were fluent at this time. .

Another big man with a fierce face and a scar on his face was right after hearing the answer, and his impression of the young man was indeed a bit better.Just when the young man thought there was a turning point and was looking at him with bright eyes, the big man suddenly waved his hand and spread it flat in the young man's eyes.

"Uh...uncle?" The boy blinked, with question marks all over his face.

The big man stared: "Give me the money! If you don't give me the money, who will tell you for nothing?"

"Oh... oh!" The boy couldn't help laughing, he fumbled in his arms quickly, took out a lot of spirit stones, and spread them neatly on the table.

Shanluan County is poor and remote, and the people watching are all shallow-sighted people, who have almost never seen these many spirit stones at once.After sizing greedily for a long time, they raised their heads one after another, casting fiery eyes on the young man one after another.Looking at his frail body, for a moment, some thoughts that should not have been stirred in my heart.

The big man couldn't help squinting at the young man, and then under the envious eyes of everyone, he picked up the spirit stones one by one, weighed them in the palm of his hand, nodded and smiled in satisfaction: "Well, After making this small fortune, it is enough to live happily in Zuixiang Building for a few more days!"

He conveniently put the spirit stones into his pocket, and after confirming that he didn't miss one, the big man began to tell the young man about the richest man and the Xuantian faction.

That big man, like the people in Shanluan County, naturally had nothing good to say about the richest man who ran away. It was basically because this man made black-hearted money back then, and then moved his family. He no longer cared about the lives of the people in Shanluan County. Add a sentence: "I lost my daughter, this is all retribution!"

As for the Xuantian faction, it was even more of a nonsense.The people in Shanluan County only knew the name of the Xuantian faction, they may not have even been to the Dingtian mountain range, so they kept criticizing the Xuantian faction, and they did not forget to boast a few words: "Xiu What is so proud of being a spiritual being, if I also go to practice spirituality, I will already be a master!"

The young man frowned more and more during the big man's narration. After all, a person who doesn't know anything is just guessing and talking about his teacher so badly, everyone will be angry!

It turned out that the young man was Ye Shuo, a new core disciple of the Xuantian Sect. After entering the world of spiritual cultivation for the first time, he was now running around looking for an antidote for his poisoned friend.

After getting the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill, he and Chu Tianyao headed east all the way, passing through Shanluan County at this time.Near the tavern in the city, they heard the villagers' high-spirited talk, and they naturally knew that the daughter of the richest man was kidnapped by the half-demons instructed by the "Xuantian Sect".

So, they decided to ask the nearby villagers about it.

"Okay, stop talking." At this moment, Ye Shuo waved his hand feebly, telling the big man to shut up.If he continues to brag, he is probably going to blow himself up to be a powerhouse in the sky-reaching realm.

No useful news was found.Ye Shuo sighed, he shouldn't have had any hope for these illiterate villagers.

He stood up and was about to leave, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he realized something was wrong.It wasn't that he didn't notice the greedy eyes of the people before, but he didn't pay attention to the unarmed civilians. It was the same at this time, Ye Shuo continued to move forward generously, turning a blind eye to the villagers who raised their axes.

Ye Shuo originally intended to let these mortals not want to have the same knowledge as them, but in the eyes of the villagers, all this had a different meaning.They thought it was Ye Shuo who was unaware of all this, and they were still a little scared at first. After all, these villagers have a bad temper, but they have never done such things as murder and robbery. Now Ye Shuo is rich and powerful, but he looks stupid , is naturally the best prey for those greedy villagers.

"Ah!—" Someone among the villagers let out a scream, and then, a hoe was thrown into the air, drawing a perfect arc and falling to the ground.

A villager in rough linen looked at his hands in horror, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it: "The hoe... the hoe flew up by itself!"

The other villagers didn't have much knowledge, and they exclaimed together: "The hoe has gone to the sky!"

Ye Shuo felt helpless, this was just a simple aura manipulation technique.Through the rotation and vibration of the air, the free wind element is simulated as a vortex, and the person's ax is directly rolled into the air.

"Could it be..." Suddenly, a middle-aged man among the villagers seemed to have remembered something, hesitantly raised his head to look at Ye Shuo, but then shook his head violently, as if to cheer himself up, "A brat That's all!" After speaking, he raised the ax and slashed at Ye Shuo.

Almost as soon as he raised the axe, his whole body flew up with the axe. "Ah, help! Help!" The middle-aged man was suspended in mid-air crying for his father and mother, "Master spiritual practitioner, please forgive me!"

"I've let you go, why bother." With a wave of Ye Shuo's hand, the middle-aged man fell heavily from mid-air, and when he was about to smash a hole in the ground, a whirlwind exploded under his body out of thin air. , eased his fall.After holding him firmly in contact with the flat ground, the whirlwind gradually dissipated.

If the middle-aged man still can't see Ye Shuo's true identity by now, his head will almost grow in vain.So almost as soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately straightened his upper body, shrunk himself into a circle, and crawled to Ye Shuo's side on his knees: "Thank you, Master Spirit Cultivator, for not killing me!!"

Kowtowed while talking, afraid that Ye Shuo would be angered by accident and kill him.

The surrounding villagers also immediately understood that this time they really ran into an expert.The dozens of people who had been surrounding all kowtowed and fell to their knees, just like the middle-aged man, kowtowing and apologizing one after another.I don't know who started it, but someone suddenly said that he wanted to beg Ye Shuo to help the people and get rid of the monsters in the valley.

"You are so powerful, you must be able to do it!"

"That's right! Master Spirit Cultivator, please help us!"

The villagers pleaded with Ye Shuo as if they were praying to a god.

"So... you just agreed?" Chu Tianyao looked at the villagers who came to see him off, "I guess this matter won't be resolved for a while, and you don't want to find an antidote?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but fortunately the consultant's condition has stabilized, and this matter is also related to the reputation of the Xuantian faction, so it has to be resolved as soon as possible." Ye Shuo held a large pile of corn in his arms, which the villagers must give to him. his.After knowing that the other party was a spiritual cultivator, the attitude of those villagers immediately changed 180 degrees. "This corn is a local specialty of our place, and the spiritual cultivator must accept it!"

Following the directions of the villagers, Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao arrived at Yongfeng City easily.

Yongfeng City is further to the east than Shanluan County, and the terrain is stable. It is indeed a good place to build a city. Although it is not as prosperous as Dingtiancheng, but in comparison, it is almost better than Shanluan County. half point.

Yongfeng City does not have the same strict rules as Dingtian City. Newcomers don't even need to go through inspection, as long as they pay some entrance fees deliberately, they will be released quickly.The city is not too big, Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao walked around the city, and there were notices everywhere in the city that hired warriors with huge sums of money, obviously all of them were from the richest man.

"Hiring bounty hunters..."
