Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 288 Incident in Donglan Town

Zhang Yang naturally plays an important role in this.

Although it seems like a simple matter of harvesting grain, there are many difficulties in it that require people to work hard to overcome. It is not really something that can be done that easily.

Otherwise, the villages and towns outside would not be so difficult during the dry season, with countless refugees.

Of course, the abundance of fertile soil and fertile fields in Xianlin Town is also an important factor, and it is also a geographical advantage that Zhang Yang valued in the initial site selection.

It wasn't until the tea time passed that Zhang Yang got up.

"It's time to check out the progress of the construction site. The number of refugees has increased recently during the dry season. The expansion has been slow and the town should be full again."

In the practice room, accompanied by a tremor of muscles and bones, Xiaoyao's aura rose sharply after just finishing her medicinal bath, easily breaking through the bottleneck and completing a round of transformation.

Yijin state.

Xiaoyao's body training progress has once again reached a new level.

Outside the hospital, Xu Guan was sitting on a stone bench. When he heard the noise, he knew what was going on and smiled lightly.

Xiaoyao's cultivation has been going smoothly all the way. There are no bottlenecks at all. Everything is done quickly and smoothly.

Breaking through the Yijin Realm today was expected, and there was no possibility of Xiaoyao failing to break through.

Soon, Xiaoyao, who had put on an undershirt in a hurry, ran out happily, hugging Xu Guan's neck and jumping around.

"Sir, I have broken through the Yijin Realm!"

"Congratulations." Xu Gu'an did not lose his joy, he smiled and took out a short knife with a blue light and handed it to Xiao Yao as a gift for his breakthrough in cultivation.

Xiaoyao suddenly became even happier.

She is not tall and has small hands, so this short knife is just right for her to use.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Yao felt that the boringness of her previous cultivation had been swept away, leaving her filled with joy.

"Also, girls can't just walk out of the room like this." After Xu Guan congratulated him, he added another lesson.

Xiaoyao was wearing a summer undershirt, which was thin and cool, no different from a bellyband.

When the wind blows, the opened belly shines white in the sun.

Xiaoyao felt her face getting hot and immediately stepped back secretly.

Children in this world generally mature precociously, and 13-year-old Xiaoyao already understands many things, at least he still knows the differences between men and women.

Watching Xiao Yao enter the house, a little red bird suddenly flew from the sky, landed in front of Xu Guan and started chirping.

Xu Guan glanced at the letter sent and his eyes flashed.

Finally it was delivered.

He exerted force under his feet and heard a soft sound. Xu Guan instantly jumped into the sky and disappeared into the courtyard.

Outside Xianlin Town, somewhere in Jiao Mountain.

On a hilltop, more than forty Hong family disciples led by Hong San were stationed in various places, guarding their surroundings.

What they were protecting was the twelve moon demon corpses they collected.

Each of these moon demon corpses is more than ten meters long, and their tonnage is exaggerated.

This caused some trouble for their subsequent transportation, which delayed a lot of time on the road.

Fortunately, it was finally delivered successfully.

After the news spread, within a moment, Xu Guan landed on the top of the mountain where they were.

"Sir!" Hong San stepped forward and saluted.

Although he was the head of the Hong family in the past, he has adjusted his role very well now.

Even their ancestor has become Xu Guan's servant, so they naturally have no other thoughts.

"Well, it's been a hard journey." Xu Gu'an nodded.

"This is what a subordinate should do. Thank you for taking me in." Hong San said respectfully with his hands in hand.

"Zhao Zhen."

After Xu Guan finished speaking, a man carrying a large iron gun appeared behind Xu Guan.

"Let Zhang Yang place them." Xu Guan ordered.

Zhao Zhen agreed and looked at the group of Hong family disciples who were dusty with life.

"Everyone, come with me."

"Thank you." Hong San let out a sigh of relief and followed Zhao Zhen away.

At least, they now have a place to stay and can meet their ancestors of the Hong family.

After everyone left, Xu Guan called out again.

"Zhao Tie, Dakui." Another gun man with similar appearance and a strong man like an iron tower appeared.

Zhao Zhen, Zhao Tie, and Dakui were the last batch of divine curse servants he gathered, only a few days later than the first divine curse servant Liang Hong.

In terms of the degree of return, he is the highest among his fellow soldiers, and he has great respect for Xu Guan, a man with extraordinary strength.

"Stay here and don't let anyone get close to this mountain."

"Yes!" The two agreed.

After explaining, Xu Guan's eyes fell on the corpses of the Moon Demon on the ground.

More than half a month has passed, and the Moon Demon's body shows no signs of decay, and even the fluctuations of the remnant soul on its surface have not weakened.

This means that as long as the body of the moon demon is not broken, there is a high probability that the remnant soul of the moon demon will always exist and will not dissipate on its own.

Even if you observe the perception carefully, you can also find that the remnant soul of the Moon Demon is slowly gathering external energy, constantly absorbing it to maintain the status quo, or it may be a process of self-repair.

Perhaps the moon demon's body has not been disposed of, and after being buried deep in the ground for several years, it is really possible for it to come back to life.

"Then let's start"

Xu Guan confirmed that he might have to stay here for a while.

There are so many remnant souls of the Moon Demon, all of which are at the eighth-level grandmaster level, which is enough for him to digest for a long time.

It is also impossible for him to digest it all in one go and become fat in one go. That would be quite risky.

It may cause one's own mental disorder, and even allow the remaining will of the evil spirit to take advantage of it.

Therefore, if he wanted stability, he would need to consolidate it thoroughly after absorbing and digesting every piece of the Moon Demon's remnant soul.

Only after confirming that the traces of the evil demon have been completely eradicated can the next absorption of the moon demon's remnant soul be carried out. This is not something that can be done in a short time.

But Xu Guan is not in a hurry. Anyway, he has these moon demon corpses in his hands, and he has plenty of time, so he can just absorb them slowly.

The twelve moon demon corpses, without exception, all had their heads missing.

Xu Guan randomly picked a moon demon corpse, sat cross-legged on the edge, and touched its remaining soul with his spiritual power.

In an instant, the illusion of the moon demon appeared and swallowed Xu Guan completely.

Xu Guan was not panicked. He had already experienced this situation once.

Different from the previous remnant soul of the fire demon that he had absorbed and digested in reality, the illusion created by this remnant soul of the moon demon had a blood moon.

Together with the moonlight shining down, the entire fantasy space was illuminated with blood.

A brutal, bloody, and cold atmosphere enveloped every corner.

"This is really distinctive." Xu Guan looked around and felt that the illusion was very characteristic of the Moon Demon, which was far different from the fire hell of the Fire Demon.

A remnant soul of the moon demon condensed in the illusion. Xu Guan also hesitated and directly released his mental power to sweep over the opponent.As his mental power surged, in an instant, the entire evil fantasy world began to shake violently, apparently unable to withstand his huge mental power.

The remnant soul of the moon demon was quickly dispersed, but the will of the moon demon attached to it had not yet been found and defeated by Xu Guan.

The next moment, another remnant soul of the Moon Demon gathered under the influence of the Moon Demon's will.

This remnant soul began to expand in size, and finally expanded to a giant of a hundred meters in height. Standing in front of Xu Guan, it looked extremely oppressive.

However, in Xu Guan's eyes, this kind of move seemed flashy and of no use.

The total amount of soul power of the remnant soul has limited the strength of this moon demon remnant soul. No matter how it changes, it will not break through the upper limit of strength.

With a thought, Xu Guan's mental power was released like a torrent that burst a dam, easily setting off a mental storm.

This spiritual storm was more powerful than when it devoured the remnant soul of the fire demon, so it quickly destroyed the will of the moon demon.

The remaining soul dispersed and turned into the purest spiritual power.

Xu Guan was waiting for this moment, and then he started swallowing.

In just a moment, he had absorbed all the soul power of the moon demon's remnant soul into his own spiritual sea.

The process of devouring the remnant soul of the Moon Demon was not difficult for him, nor was it very dangerous.

The trouble is that next, he needs to spend a few days digesting and integrating this external spiritual power, and another period of time to consolidate his strengthened spiritual sea, making progress steadily and not being careless.

July.

On this day, Zhang Yang received a letter from afar and frowned slightly.

"Zhao Zhen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunman Zhao Zhen quickly appeared in front of him.

"Is the young master still in retreat on the mountain?" Zhang Yang asked.

Zhao Zhen nodded. During this period, his younger brother and Dakui had been guarding the Jiaoshan Mountain.

None of them knew when Xu Guan would be released from seclusion.

After Zhang Yang knew that Xu Guan would not be disturbed, he thought for a while and told Zhao Zhen: "Go and invite Mr. Hong here."

Soon, Mr. Hong arrived.

Zhang Yang stood up to greet him.

Tang Hongtian is a strong master. Even though he has become Xu Guan's divine servant, his status as a strong master has not changed, which is enough for Zhang Yang to treat him with courtesy.

"Steward Zhang, why did you call me here today?"

Usually Zhang Yang would not bother the two grandmasters in the town, so he must have summoned them because of something important.

"There is indeed one thing that may require you to act more safely." Zhang Yang nodded and explained his meaning directly without being too pretentious.

Donglan Mountain boundary, Donglan Town.

The heads of the Weng and Shen families were gathered together at this moment, with sad faces on their faces.

"After the Lancheng Duan family's army entered Suicheng, the army has already swept into the Yanqiu Mountain area. I heard that the rebuilt Qingshui Town has changed hands, and the original family power has been confiscated all at once!"

"We are close to Qingshui Town, and I'm afraid we will be targeted soon." Shen Ting said in a deep voice.

Weng Dunyuan paced back and forth, and he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

"The Duan family in Lancheng wants to wipe out the original influence of the Ye family in various places and replace all the affiliated villages and towns with their own arranged leaders!
What a cruel method! "Weng Dunyuan gritted his teeth.

Donglan Town is the base where their ancestors have developed for generations and is their ancestral land.

The other party directly took advantage of the situation by force without giving any chance for negotiation.

While the two family heads were angry, they also felt a lot of powerlessness in their hearts.

The Lancheng Duan family, which had annexed the entire territory of Suicheng, was now powerful, and its army was invincible.

Not to mention a remote town like theirs, even if all the villages and towns near Suicheng gathered together, they would still be far from able to compete with the other party's overwhelming force.

If the other party really wants to seize their ancestral land, the two families will have no way to resist.

"If you surrender voluntarily and the army commander is not so greedy, you may be able to escape the consequences of having your home confiscated." Shen Ting sighed and said helplessly.

As the leader of Donglan Town, it would be more painful to let them hand over the town than to scratch their hearts.

Without the ancestral land, the family will lose its foundation even if it is preserved, and the people's hearts will be lost.

Their obsession with their ancestral land made it difficult for them to make this difficult decision.

"I think it's better to surrender." Weng Dunyuan thought over and over again and finally convinced himself.

As soon as he said these words, his energy and spirit seemed to have weakened a bit, and he had lost a lot of his vigor.

Shen Ting still frowned, "I'm afraid that if we give up the town, the other party won't appreciate it and insists on ransacking the house.

Instead of betting on the opponent's character, it's better to take everything with us and move away as a family before it's too late, leaving the boundaries of Suicheng. Maybe we can make a comeback! "

Weng Dunyuan was startled, and then fell into deep thought, weighing again in his mind.

Where should they go after leaving Suicheng?
Now that the war has resumed, cults, bandits and bandits from all sides are wreaking havoc again.

Leaving the boundaries of Donglan Town and even Suicheng, they may not be able to find the next good place.

"Do you really want to kneel down and beg for mercy and leave the fate of the entire clan to others to decide?!" Shen Ting saw Weng Dunyuan's hesitation and his voice became a little more intense.

"If he is in a good mood, he will give your Weng family a way to survive. If he is in a bad mood, it will be difficult for our family to survive!"

At this point, he had obviously made up his mind.

He wants to hold the fate of the Shen family firmly in his hands. Even if he faces many obstacles in the future and ultimately fails, he will not regret today's decision.

Weng Dunyuan became even more impatient. At this moment, several messenger birds suddenly flew into the two mansions.

Soon, someone rushed to report.

"It's not good! After Qingshui Town was captured, the spies from the front witnessed the army taking a brief rest and heading towards us!"

This made Shen Ting unable to sit still for a moment and stood up suddenly.

"Brother Weng, I'm afraid the other party is here in such a hurry. I'm afraid your patience is limited. If you want to stay, I won't dissuade you. Take your leave."

After saying that, Shen Ting strode away.

Weng Dunyuan reached out and wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out after opening his mouth, so he put his hand down again.

His expression changed for a while, and he finally closed his eyes.

"In terms of courage and courage, I am not as good as you after all, Brother Shen."

The whole family left Donglan Town, cut off their roots, left their hometown, and headed for an uncertain future.

He asked himself whether he dared to take this risk.

If he stays in the town, even if his home is ransacked and he loses control of Donglan Town, there is a high probability that he and his tribe will survive.

This is also his decision.

"Everything is for the continuation of the family," Weng Dunyuan murmured to himself as he watched Shen Ting leave.

At this moment, the two family heads made two different decisions for the sake of the entire family they represented.

As for whose choice was wrong and whose was right, the two of them couldn't decide for a while.

Only when the army finally arrives will they be able to figure it out.
