After getting the information he wanted, Zhu Changyang pushed the developer back and said, "Okay, today is the big day for the Lord of the Snipers, don't scare him."
The developer immediately meowed and turned into a little black cat, licking its front paws innocently.
Jun Shu and Yin Kanwei: “…”
If they didn't know how this demon tiger was captured, they would have suspected that Zhu Changyang raised it himself.
The cooperation between this man and the tiger is so tacit, and this demon tiger is really shameless.
The three persons and the cat walked towards the city gate. The guard at the gate was about to close the gate because of the developer's tiger-like appearance. However, when he heard that they were sent by the Leopard Sniper, he did not dare to close the gate and let them into the city respectfully.
Sixiang City is not very big, far smaller than today's cities like Cangbo City and Gongyu City.
However, the city is crisscrossed with streets, shops and taverns can be seen everywhere, and houses are densely packed together, which shows the city's daily prosperity.
However, at present, most shops and houses are closed, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, there are people walking around, but they all look hurried and panicked.
As dusk faded, the afterglow turned the empty streets into a long river of blood, and a bleak and tense atmosphere filled the air.
Gu Peng's childhood sweetheart was named Su Ti, and came from a poor family. She lived next door to Gu Peng's old family in the east of the city.
The three of them walked towards the east of the city and soon found the place.
There is no other reason, because the place is very conspicuous.
At this time, all the gates in the city were closed, and everyone hid in their houses. No one dared to light candles. Only on the east side of the city, there was a row of red paper lanterns hung on both sides, and the lanterns were already lit.
There were figures walking back and forth in the alley, seemingly busy.
Zhu Changyang and his group were about to go inside when two men dressed as servants suddenly jumped out from the corners on both sides of the alley and stopped them with their hands: "Who are you? You can't enter here."
Zhu Changyang was about to pull out the banner of the Leopard King when one of the men suddenly looked straight at him and said, "Isn't this Gu Peng? Why are you back?"
Zhu Changyang: “Hmm?”
He was puzzled for a moment, but did not show it on his face. He just looked at his companions calmly.
Yin Kanwei groaned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "You have Gu Peng's sword in your hand, so in this illusion, you should be Gu Peng's incarnation."
Zhu Changyang understood clearly.
This illusion is Gu Peng's mental barrier. Gu Peng wants to return to the Sixiang City of the past to prevent this tragedy. The Xingyi sword is both his cultivation and his will.
Therefore, the me holding the sword of mind became Gu Peng himself in this memory.
These people must be old acquaintances of Gu Peng, so they recognized him.
After thinking this through, Zhu Changyang coughed lightly and said calmly, "I heard about Su Ti's situation and came back to see her."
The two people who were blocking the road looked at each other and showed a bit of embarrassment on their faces when they heard this.
The man in front said, "What's the point of you coming back? The Leopard King has boundless magic power. The immortal masters we invited from outside couldn't beat him, and he even asked him to kill... Listen to my advice, you should leave as soon as possible."
Just as they were about to chase him away, a short, fat man with a mustache and brocade clothes came from the end of the alley and asked, "Who's in front? What are you doing here?"
The servant replied, "City Lord, it's Suti's neighbor Gu Peng who has returned."
It turned out that the man in brocade clothes was the mayor of Sixiang City.
"Oh, is it that Gu Peng?" The city lord's eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly. At this time, the sunlight had completely disappeared and the alley was pitch black.
The mayor used the light from the lanterns on both sides to see Zhu Changyang's appearance clearly. He immediately put his hand on Zhu Changyang's wrist and said with a smile, "Gu Peng, you are back just in time. King Hu Zhu is going to marry Su Ti tonight. You are Su Ti's close friend, so you should send her off."
Zhu Changyang frowned slightly, feeling that what this person said made him extremely uncomfortable.
Su Ti was abducted by the leopard. As the city lord, this man not only did not try to save her, but also seemed to be in a hurry to send her to marry.
The servant next to him couldn't bear it and said, "City Lord, please don't make things difficult for Gu Peng."
"Stop talking too much." The city lord glared at the servant, who shrank back and could only shut up in dismay.
The city lord looked back at Zhu Changyang and said, "I heard that you went to study martial arts before. I think you must be very skilled and courageous. It would be most appropriate for you to escort the bride."
Zhu Changyang started to guess when he saw this: Su Ti was getting married, so a wedding procession was needed. However, everyone in the city was afraid of the sniper, so there must be a shortage of manpower, or someone might have escaped temporarily.
The city lord must be gathering people, and when he saw Gu Peng, he started to coax and deceive him.
Rumor has it that Gu Peng's family was very poor back then, and the city lord clearly did not take him seriously at all. He also did not think that Gu Peng could achieve anything by going out to seek the truth. If he insisted on coaxing him to go to the bride, I'm afraid he would have ignored him.
Zhu Changyang almost couldn't help but want to kick the city lord, but he knew that this was an illusion and this action would only vent his anger and would not be of any benefit to his business.
His mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant. He said with a fake smile, "Okay, then I'll give Suti a ride."
He pointed at Jun Shu and Yin Kanwei beside him and said, "These two are my friends, Xiaojun and Xiaoyin, they will also go with me."
Xiaojun had already gotten used to his various random names and nodded calmly.
The Demon Cult's guardian Xiao Yin was not used to this friendly nickname for a moment, and his face was a little indescribable.
The city lord was just worrying about not having enough people, but Zhu Changyang actually sent three people up on his own initiative. He immediately smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and stroked his mustache and said, "Very good, very good. If Su Ti knew that you were the one escorting the bride, he would surely be much happier."
Zhu Changyang was really annoyed, but couldn't show it, so he gently poked the developer with his toes.
The developer understood what he meant, arched his cat's body, pounced forward silently, and swiped his two claws towards the city lord's face.
It was very dark, and no one could spot it in the darkness. The city lord was caught off guard, and his face was instantly scratched with several bloody claw marks. He screamed and shouted angrily, "Catch that wild cat—"
There was a great deal of footsteps in the alley, but the developer was extremely agile. Once he succeeded in getting the upper hand, he jumped onto the roof, leaving no one able to stop him.
The city lord was furious, but helpless. He had important things to do right now and could not continue chasing the black cat that appeared out of nowhere. He could only cover his cheeks with a handkerchief in disappointment and lead Zhu Changyang and the other two into the alley.
At the end of the alley, there are two bamboo houses side by side, with red silk hanging on the eaves and two bright red lanterns. The houses are also brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the other dark houses.
There was a sedan chair carried by four people at the door, and several burly men with red silk ribbons tied around their waists stood beside it. They should be the guards of honor and the sedan bearers, and they all looked panic-stricken.
When the three of them arrived, the voice of the attendant of ceremonies was heard from inside the house: "The auspicious time has arrived, prepare to lift the sedan chair."
The ceremonial sedan bearers and others hurried forward to make preparations.
A bridesmaid came out of the house, supporting the bride who was wearing a red veil.
Zhu Changyang looked up and saw that the bride had a graceful and slender figure. Even though he couldn't see her face, he could tell that she was a rare beauty.
"Su Ti." Zhu Changyang shouted and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the city lord.
"What?" The city lord looked extremely surprised and said that unmarried women were not allowed to meet men outside the family, for fear of angering the Leopard King.
Zhu Changyang felt a little strange in his heart. Since Su Ti could not meet men outside the family, why was it the city lord who was arranging the wedding instead of Su Ti's family
But he was not allowed to ask in detail at the moment.
It was unknown whether Su Ti heard his shout or not, as she remained silent. She got into the bridal sedan with the help of the bridesmaids, and four bearers lifted the sedan.
The city lord quickly ordered someone to bring red belts to Zhu Changyang and the other two to tie, and asked them to each carry a load of dowry, saying, "Just follow behind."
Seeing this, the three of them exchanged glances and followed the team.
They all knew that if they wanted to save Su Ti completely, the most important thing was to kill the leopard. And the fastest way to find the leopard was to follow the wedding procession.
"Lift the sedan—"
The ceremonial procession led the way, gongs, drums and suonas played, and the team slowly walked out along the alley.
As the night deepened, even the few people who went out in the evening returned home.
The entire Sixiang City seemed like a deserted city, with neither people nor fire in sight.
The bluestone street was gloomy, with only the lanterns of the wedding procession floating on the dark long street, moving slowly with the progress of the sedan chair.
The sharp and loud sounds of suona, gongs and drums formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding silence. It was particularly abrupt and harsh.
Zhu Changyang followed the team silently, observing both sides of the road with his peripheral vision as he walked.
His five senses are now extremely sharp and he can easily detect the movements around him.
Behind those tightly closed doors, there are always shivering and fearful figures hiding.
Although I know that these are just dreams that happened thousands of years ago, I still can't help but sigh.
Studio:
[Ahhh! What kind of scene is this from the underworld? I’m numb!]
[But Su Ti is so pitiful. That city lord is too much. He doesn't care what happens to her at all! ]
[But why didn't Su Ti pay attention to Chang Yang? Aren't she and Gu Peng first lovers? She should at least show some reaction, right?]
The wedding procession passed through the city gate and headed towards the bamboo forest outside the city.
Dark clouds covered the moon and the surroundings were silent.
There was originally a path for people to walk in the deep bamboo forest.
At this time, two rows of red lanterns were hung on both sides of the path, starting from the edge of the bamboo forest and going deep into the bamboo forest.
The pace of the wedding procession obviously paused for a moment, and some of them even had their legs trembling slightly. The ceremonial guards leading the way in front looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and walked in through the path.
The bamboo forest was originally densely clustered, and lanterns were hung on the bamboo branches. When the wind blew, the bamboo branches swayed, and the lanterns also floated gently, casting shadows of the branches swaying on the path.
One of the suona players was so frightened that his breathing became weak, and the suona suddenly stopped making any sound.
The other few people became very anxious when they saw this and winked at him. The man himself was sweating profusely. However, the more anxious he was, the more things went against his wishes and he couldn't blow out a breath.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up from the ground, the bamboo bushes swayed from side to side, making a rustling sound, the lanterns on both sides went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
The wedding procession suddenly fell into chaos, and everyone asked each other questions in fear.
"What's going on? Why is it so windy all of a sudden?"
"Is it, is it that the Leopard King is coming?"
Just when they were at a loss, a sedan bearer suddenly cried out, "Ah!" and exclaimed, "The sedan is flying! The sedan is flying—"
At this time, there was no moon in the sky, only a few sparse stars, and the bamboo forest was deep, with bamboo shadows everywhere.
With the faint starlight, one could vaguely see the sedan chair rising up out of thin air.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Changyang hurriedly dropped the burden on his shoulders, stepped forward and grabbed one side of the sedan chair to lift it, and Yin Kanwei immediately grabbed the other side.
As soon as he grabbed it, Fang realized that the invisible force holding up the sedan was extremely powerful. Fortunately, Yin Kanwei had a deep level of cultivation, so the sedan was prevented from flying away.
A sedan bearer next to them could no longer bear it. He shouted loudly, dropped the sedan and ran out of the bamboo forest.
Originally, this wedding procession was forced to do this, and everyone's hearts were already extremely tense along the way.
As the sedan bearer ran away, the others collapsed instantly. They dropped the ceremonial objects, gongs and drums in their hands, screamed "Ah", and fled in panic.
In a short while, the entire team fled completely, leaving only Zhu Changyang, Yin Kanwei and Jun Shu and a sedan chair still hanging in the air.
Zhu Changyang was about to ask about the situation in the sedan chair when a deep voice suddenly sounded from the front: "Why don't you put down my bride?"
Zhu Changyang was startled and looked up, only to see a tall figure appear several feet ahead of him.
It was pitch black in the bamboo forest, but the three of them were all skilled in cultivation and had sharp ears and eyes, so they could vaguely recognize the man's appearance.
The man had red hair, was wearing a wedding dress, and had eyes like mice, staring at them unkindly.
Zhu Changyang asked: "Are you the Leopard?"
"How dare you!" The man was immediately furious, "How dare you call me by my name—"
Before he could finish his words, a very sharp sword energy suddenly appeared in front of him, and a long sword flew silently straight towards his face.
The sniper was startled and reacted extremely quickly. He instantly moved sideways to avoid the sword.
The long sword failed to stab him, so it turned behind him and stabbed back again.
"Who are you?" The sniper was furious and cursed, "How dare the damn city lord go back on his word!"
He reached into the air and a silver steel whip appeared in his hand.
"Do you think you can deal with me by just finding a few monks?" The sniper sneered, and swung his hand hard. The steel whip was like a spirit snake, rolling towards the long sword that was flying again.
Unexpectedly, the sword was more flexible and changed its angle in an instant, stabbing from the side and avoiding the steel whip.
The sniper rat narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became more alert. "Who are you?"
Jun Shu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He made a few hand gestures, and the rusty sword emitted a more powerful sword energy, attacking the sniper again and again.
The sniper was also very powerful. He swung out a steel whip, and his demonic power surged out, colliding with Jun Shu's sword energy in the air.
The air vibrated, and a circle of bamboos around it fell outward and finally broke.
Zhu Changyang quickly dragged the sedan chair backwards, and Jun Shu took two steps forward, stood beside him, and drew a circle in front of him with his right hand.
The invisible aura turned into a shield in front of him, blocking the impact.
At the same time, the long sword and the steel whip collided again.
In the darkness, only the "clang clang clang" sound of metal colliding could be heard. In an instant, the whip and the sword had exchanged dozens of moves.
The Xiju is a great demon in the world. After escaping from the demon realm, he has been doing whatever he wants in Sixiang City. He has never encountered a situation like this before.
He was so angry that he shouted "Hehe" and his eyes lit up. He released tremendous demonic power in his hands and pressed heavily on the long sword. At the same time, the steel whip flew out of his hand and finally engulfed the stagnant long sword.
The sniper looked pleased, but before he could laugh out loud, his eyes changed.
There were continuous "ding ding dang dang" sounds, and his steel whip, which was full of magical power, was actually chopped into pieces by the sword.
The next moment, the sword stabbed again.
The sniper was caught off guard. Even though he reacted quickly, he was still a little slow this time.
With a "hiss", the long sword brushed past his face. The sniper screamed and felt a sharp pain in his cheek, with blood gushing out.
He quickly reached out to cover it, but found that one of his ears was gone, leaving only a bloody wound.
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!!" The monster was furious. He looked up and transformed into his original form.
Zhu Changyang noticed that the demonic energy around him was increasing. He looked again and saw a huge demon beast standing in front of him.
At this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone down. In the soft moonlight, the shape of the monster could be seen.
But it looked like a wolf, with a red head, rat-like eyes, and one of its ears had been cut off, with the wound still bleeding.
This scene was really scary, and Zhu Changyang couldn't help but gasp.
The sniper stared at them, arched his back, opened his mouth wide, and let out a deafening roar: "Hehehehe—"
Before Zhu Changyang had finished taking a breath of cold air, he exhaled on the spot: "Puff—"
What does it mean when this leopard suddenly screams like a pig
Jun Shu glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, nodded, and said, "The sound of a pig is like that of a pig."
Pig, that is, a little pig.
Zhu Changyang: “…”
I didn't expect that you, the King of Snipers, are so famous, but secretly you cry like a pig.
Studio:
[Shit! I was so nervous watching this, but the king's voice was so sudden, it ruined my mood!]
[Isn't this my laughter? Why is Brown Sniper secretly imitating me! ]
[The one in front is hè zhu, not hu! ]
The leopard sniper is huge in size, and its red head is particularly scary in the night.
Yin Kanwei frowned and said, "Be careful. The leopard sniper is very powerful when it reveals its true form. Many cultivators have suffered from it."
"Understood. Let's stay away from it." Zhu Changyang's face turned grim. He took a step back, then put his hands into a trumpet shape and pressed them against his mouth, shouting, "Developer, bite it!"
A deafening tiger roar rang out in the bamboo forest, and a black tiger leaped out, pouncing on the leopard with unusual ferocity.
The sniper was caught off guard, his two rat eyes widened with disbelief written all over his face.
But the fact was right in front of him, and he could only use his claws to resist. The two powerful monsters started fighting each other.
Zhu Changyang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, my cat also has its original form."
Jun Shu and Yin Kanwei: “…”
Studio:
[Grass!]
[I've seen people raising spiritual pets, but I've never seen anyone use them so thoroughly. Is this a multifunctional spiritual pet? ]
["Working as a developer", office workers shed tears of joy.]
[If the developer had known that following Chang Yang would require so much work, would he have regretted not choosing to follow the demon brother to the Demon Realm to be a holy cat...]
The author has something to say:
Developer: Meow meow meow
