In the dark night sky, the stars in the sky were obscured by clouds, and the whole world seemed to have become pitch black.
Huixun City, this huge city of casual cultivators was also shrouded in darkness. Except for the dim light of the hanging wind lantern, no light can be seen anymore.
Ouyang Ming and the three beasts descended from Huijian Peak and quietly arrived not far from the city gate.
The tall city gate has long been closed, although it can't stop the spirit being from entering. However, there are special runes on the city wall. Once activated, they can release effective resistance. Of course, under normal circumstances, such a powerful skill would not be easily activated.
If you want to maintain a strong defense capability at all times, the energy consumed must be an astronomical amount.
Let alone a city of casual cultivators, even a huge sect with a profound foundation must think twice before launching a mountain-protecting formation.
Looking up into the distance, even with Ouyang Ming's eyesight, he could only see the outline of a city wall.
"Master, are we going to fight in?" King Kong grinned, his eyes full of violent killing.
Although he successfully killed Li Shao Yuan, the foundation of Li Jia still existed. As the saying goes, "cutting the grass and eradicating the root" means that since we have killed this venerable person, his descendants will naturally not be able to let him go easily.
Of course, this is for those casual cultivating families. If they were killing the sect venerable at this moment, then the first thing Ouyang Ming and others had to do was to fly away instead of returning here to seek death.
Smiling slightly, Ouyang Ming said: "Why bother, haha, as long as they know that Li Shaoyuan is dead, then someone will naturally make trouble for them." He raised his head and looked towards the darker death. Lin Lin looked at it and said slowly: "Here, I don't want to see chaos in the human city."
King Kong and the others all exchanged indifferent looks, and thought to themselves, let it be chaos, since we have already left long ago. However, since this is Ouyang Ming's decision, they will not object.
"Master, wouldn't this be like taking advantage of the Wang family?" Goshawk flapped his wings and said slightly dissatisfied.
Although they had never entered the city, they had a rough idea of Ouyang Ming's experiences in the city because of their spiritual connection.
In this city of casual cultivators, not only Lijia was unfriendly to Ouyang Ming, but the Wang family seemed to be the same way. However, the attitude of the Wang family was not clearly revealed.
Ouyang Ming shook his head and said slowly: "A city of casual cultivators needs at least one venerable person to take charge."
Even if he is just a casual cultivator, he is still a venerable person.
After seeing the big and small bamboo rats and sensing the terrifying aura coming from the depths of the Death Forest, Ouyang Ming knew that if Huixun City wanted to gain a foothold here, it needed at least one human venerable. Without this, the city would never have survived for long.
With his eyes flashing, Ouyang Ming said in a deep voice: "Li Shaoyuan's death is a warning and an opportunity. If the Wang family is smart enough, they should know what to do."
Dahuang suddenly turned his head and said: "Xiao Mingzi, are you worried about the Wu family and the Xue family?"
Ouyang Ming laughed dumbly and said: "Both of their families have peak spiritual men in charge. Generally speaking, even the Venerable family will not deliberately conflict with them. What's more, now the Xue family's heart-searching mirror has been in my It's on me." His eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "As long as the Wang family has some sense, they won't do stupid things."
"But, what if the Wang family really did something stupid?" Dahuang blinked and asked again.
Ouyang Ming glared at him angrily and said slowly: "If they really do it, they have to be mentally prepared to bear the consequences."
Say it, he no longer paid attention to Dahuang, stretched out his arms, and soared into the sky like a roc.
Of course, without a flying carpet, he would not be able to soar into the sky with the power of his body like the Venerable. However, the realization he had when he returned to Sword Peak was no small matter. When he jumped up, he found that his body was much lighter than before. Even the smallest details, such as the direction of the airflow around him, seemed to be under the control of his thoughts.
Although he is still unable to fly physically, he firmly believes that this day will come.
Under the cover of the night, Ouyang Ming jumped up to the top of the city lightly. In the process, no one noticed his trace at all, as if he had become one with the night.
Ouyang Ming looked around the city and immediately found the best place.
Li Shao Yuan's body was taken out from the space bag and stuck on the big flag flying at the top of the city.
The body of the Venerable is actually an extremely precious material. It was much more valuable than the things he had found in the Tianwai Pavilion treasure house before.
However, as a human being, Ouyang Ming also has his own bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible to use the corpses of his own race. Therefore, even if it is extremely wasteful, he will never regret it.
In the distance, Dahuang murmured: "What a waste."
King Kong and Goshawk glanced at him in unison, and then looked away in perfect agreement, as if they didn't recognize this stupid dog.
In this case, only Dahuang dared to say it. If it were them, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Ouyang Ming finished all this quietly. He unfolded his movement skills again and floated away with the three beasts without disturbing anyone.
Of course, what he left behind was only the body of the Venerable. As for the space bag and equipment on Li Shaoyuan, he took them away without leaving any trace behind.
However, less than a quarter of an hour after they left, they vaguely heard the noise coming from behind.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ouyang Ming's mouth. He could fully imagine the lively scene on top of the city at this moment.
I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will pay back a hundred times!
Leaving home is all your own fault.
※※※※
The night is destined to be no longer peaceful.
A Yang-level cultivator was walking slowly on the top of the city. He was a casual cultivator in Huixun City and was recruited by the two city lords to serve as a guard on the city head.
If it were in the lower world, the status of a Yang-level warrior would be high enough, and he would become people's guest no matter where he goes.
However, this is the spirit world, let alone ordinary warriors, even spirit practitioners dare not show off.
Therefore, this man patrolled the city, his eyes wandering around, trying to find something unusual in this dark night. However, he also knew that most of the time, doing so was just pretending, because no one would run around so late at night.
However, just as he was cruising above the main city gate, he inadvertently looked up and seemed to see something unusual out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and gradually, a trace of fear appeared on his face. Because he gradually became certain that there was a human corpse on the flagpole hanging high.
"Someone is coming—"
The shrill and frightening screams immediately spread throughout the city and alarmed everyone.
Suddenly, countless people swarmed to the top of the city and looked overhead in the direction he pointed.
Soon, the body that had been hung on the city wall for no apparent reason was put down. Unfortunately, they could not get any more information than that he was an old man.
Because there is nothing on this body that can prove his identity.
It has been more than a hundred years since Shao Yuan ruled Huixun City. However, as his strength continues to improve and various systems are gradually improved, he no longer needs to show up for everything.
The high-ranking officials in the city naturally recognize this pillar of the city of casual cultivators, but these ordinary sergeants responsible for night watch have never seen such a big shot.
However, this was the city head after all, and a corpse was hung up silently. This was such contempt, so the news was immediately passed on.
A moment later, two junior spiritual masters came side by side. One of them was a strong man from the Li family, while the other was a strong man from the Wang family.
Every family sends people to join the army. This is an obligation and a responsibility, but it is also a way of supervising each other.
When they saw the corpse, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and even their faces turned pale. Especially the soul who left home, he yelled in fear, his eyesight turned black, and he almost fainted.
Others may not know, but as a person who has left home, how can he not recognize his ancestors
However, even if he was killed, he still couldn't believe what he saw.
He stretched out his trembling hands and examined it carefully. He felt that his eyes were getting dark, his chest was blocked, and even his hands and feet became weak at this moment.
Li Shaoyuan was Lijia's Optimus Prime, and he was also Lijia's biggest reliance on becoming the king and hegemon in Huixun City. If he died inexplicably at this moment, what terrible consequences would it bring
This question, just thinking about it for a moment, would make him shudder.
He stared at the surroundings with blood-red eyes that seemed to choose someone to devour, and his heart was filled with strong murderous intent.
But after a moment, he was forced to put aside this idea, because the number of people on the city had already exceeded a hundred at this moment, and he simply could not kill them all.
What's more, the Wang family spirit master not far from him had a look of shock on his face, but with a hint of joy that could not be concealed. Although he had tried his best to hide it, he could not hide it from the soul who had left home at this moment.
With a long sigh, Li Jia Lingzhe had no choice but to pick up the corpse of his ancestor and left as fast as lightning, rushing back to Li Jia as quickly as possible.
And behind him, the buzz of discussion never stopped.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Jialing finally spoke and revealed the identity of the corpse.
This was like poking a hornet's nest. In just half a day, the entire city had fallen into a state of great panic.
No matter how domineering Lijia was in the city, Li Shaoyuan was always one of the strongest in the city. It can be said that most of them are under his wings.
But now, Li Shaoyuan was actually beheaded and his body was hung on the city wall. The impact of this was absolutely unparalleled.
