Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu certainly did not come to Tianyuzhou to hang out. In fact, there was a time limit and a meeting place before they came, so they had plenty of time. But they did not plan to wander around in the chaotic Tianyuzhou now. With people from all sides mixing together, who knows what accidents might happen.
The two of them flew directly into the depths of the inland according to their original plan. They did not fly to a place with more evil energy and more chaos, but instead flew to a relatively stable area.
Eight days later, in the eyes of Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu, the auras in the area below had become relatively stable, and the outline of a seemingly peaceful large city appeared in their sight. This was the gathering place for a part of the Apocalypse Alliance. Choosing a stable urban city rather than some dangerous and evil place also seemed like reverse thinking.
It is morning now, and the whole city is gradually beginning to radiate vitality. The hustle and bustle gradually appears from nothing. Whether it is a tall mansion or a small courtyard in the market, in the streets and alleys or in the city gates, everywhere is filled with the breath of urban life.
Because Ji Yuan arrived in a new city, he generally liked to walk slowly from outside the city into the city to experience the city's scenery in this way, so Lu Shanjun also preferred this, and Bei Mu never cared about such things, so the two of them ended up on the north side of the city.
Following the flow of people entering the city, the gatekeepers would occasionally ask a few more questions to those who looked a little wealthier, or deliberately make things difficult for them, just to get some benefits. Of course, if they looked like they should not be provoked or were difficult to mess with, they would choose to ignore them.
However, Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu are obviously more suitable targets for exploitation. One is a scholar, and the other...
A gatekeeper nudged his comrade next to him with his elbow and came over to speak.
"Hey, look over there, next to that scholar."
"Oh, this scholar is quite handsome, but compared to the guy next to him, he is so inferior. This is too..."
"Let's be clear, the man next to that scholar is probably not a man at all!"
Several soldiers gathered together and occasionally peeked at the nearby area.
"You mean, a woman dressed as a man?" "That's right!"
"That makes sense!" "Indeed, the more you put it this way, the more they look alike!"
"This is really pretty, what will it look like with red makeup?"
"How does it compare to the courtesan in Mengchunlou?" "Hehehe..."
"Hey Hey… "
When Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu approached, several soldiers coughed dryly and prepared to stop them. However, before one of them raised his hand to stop them, he saw Bei Mu's weird eyes.
Several soldiers were stunned, their eyes were completely focused, slowly changing from being alert to being absent-minded. It was not until Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu had walked past them for a while that the soldiers came to their senses. They looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened.
Lu Shanjun, who passed through the city gate, glanced sideways at Beimu.
"Northern Demon, you have become kindhearted. You didn't even take their lives directly?"
"Hey, just a few words, it's nothing to me, and it's better not to cause too much trouble here. Of course, they won't live long, they will slowly lose their souls within three to five days."
The two walked into the city. Just like outside the city gate, the notice posting area inside was also filled with notices such as conscription and grain collection. It was obvious that the peace here would not last forever.
Until they entered the prosperous area of the city, except for the divine light from the direction of the City God Temple, Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu did not feel any obvious special atmosphere, as if it was just an ordinary human city.
"It seems that everyone is hiding very well. I haven't sensed any evil spirits in this city."
"That may not be the case."
Lu Shanjun pointed casually, and looking in the direction of his finger, Beimu saw a man holding a toothpick in his mouth coming out from somewhere on the opposite corner of the street. Not far from the direction where the man came out was a magnificent building with a plaque reading "Mengchunlou".
"Diligedangdang, diligedang~"
Lao Niu was obviously very comfortable at the moment, with a relaxed feeling all over his body, as if he had known that Lu Shanjun and Bei Mu were coming, and he just walked towards them along the road, extending his hand to say hello to the two people not far away.
"Hahaha, Lu Wu, long time no see. And your uh... Lu Wu, what's his name?"
"I..."
Lao Niu waved his hand and interrupted Bei Mu's words.
"Okay, your name is not important. Come on, Lu Wu, follow me to Mengchunlou. The courtesan and several popular girls there all like me, Old Niu. I'll introduce them to you, hahahahaha..."
Lu Shanjun sneered and dodged the arm that Lao Niu was holding out.
"It seems that you, the Bull, have arrived much earlier than us. Take us to the gathering place. You can also tell us about the current situation in Tianyuzhou. What happened?"
Niu Batian glanced at Beimu. He knew that this guy was insidious, but he also understood that this kind of demon would bully the weak and fear the strong. Being nice to him would make him more likely to be exploited. So he was too lazy to have any relationship with Beimu. After all, it was Lu Shanjun's business.
"Hey, you guys are really anxious."
"I'm not in a hurry at all, but Lu Wu seems to be very interested."
Beimu was not annoyed by Laoniu's ignoring him, and he interrupted him. Laoniu did not buy into this kind of cold response, and just pulled Lu Shanjun away.
"If that's the case, then let's go. The Yin-Yang man next to you probably already knew something and deliberately hid it from you, Lu Wu. For something like this, just find a chance to eat it. Now I understand that we in the Apocalypse Alliance are also one person at a time. Further progress also depends on the position, and the benefits in the future will be even greater."
As Lao Niu spoke, he glanced at Beimu with a smile. In Beimu's opinion, unlike Lu Shanjun who was usually cold, although this barbarian bull looked very honest with a smile on his face, there was actually a coldness in his eyes, which made Beimu realize that this barbarian bull was probably serious about what he said.
The two monsters, Luwu and Niu Batian, have impressive cultivation bases and terrifying potential, and are highly valued by the upper echelons of the Apocalypse Alliance. Now that time has passed, people who have had more contact with them have come to understand that each one is more dangerous than the other.
However, even though Beimu is despised by Niu Batian, he is still very happy, because he knows that although Luwu and Manniu have been competing with each other, their relationship is actually very good. Even if the two of them don't get along, it is rare that they will help each other at critical moments. And now that Beimu and Luwu are allies, it means that he will be able to get help from Manniu in the future.
Just as they were walking leisurely in the city, the sky suddenly began to darken. The three of them, like other people, subconsciously looked up and saw that clouds were gathering rapidly in the sky since they had no idea what had happened.
"Someone is casting a spell!"
Lu Shanjun whispered solemnly, and Lao Niu nodded.
"Yes, and the person who cast the spell is extremely skilled. The gathering of thunderclouds seems like a natural phenomenon..."
This city is where the Apocalypse Alliance gathers, so it is almost impossible that the one who cast the spell was the Apocalypse Alliance themselves.
The people nearby, after a brief moment of shock, shouted to go home or find a place to shelter from the rain. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was going to rain heavily and there might be thunder, so they fled in all directions, making Lu Shanjun and the other two, who were standing there looking at the sky, look particularly awkward.
Within just a few breaths of the gathering of thunderclouds, a divine light rose from the City God Temple in the city. The City God stood on the eaves of the temple with a confused and astonished look on his face, looking at the wind and clouds in the sky. The rolling dark clouds were gathering, as if there was a terrible eye of wind and cloud in the center of the clouds. Although the thunder had not risen yet, the mighty power of heaven could already be felt.
"Who is the master who is casting a spell here? I am the City God of this city. I hope you can show me the truth!"
The City God's voice was transmitted, but there was no response from the sky. Instead, a terrifying pressure rose in the city. This was a terrifying evil spirit that horrified the City God. It was like a piece of empty flame that suddenly shot up into the sky and collided with the pressure of the wind and clouds in the sky.
"There is actually such a monster hidden in the city..."
The City God knew that he could not intervene in such a confrontation, so he quickly retreated into the temple.
Above the clouds in the sky, dozens of voices appeared at this moment. Some of them were shining with fairy light, and a small part of them exuded a special demonic aura, which was the dragon aura of the dragon clan.
The leader was an old man in feathered clothes wearing a purple gold crown. His eyes were as bright as lightning and contained a vast Taoist aura as he looked down at the city below.
"Monster~ It's useless no matter where you hide!"
The immortal's voice was like thunder, carrying lightning in the clouds and pressing down towards the city. When it reached the ground, ordinary people could only hear a rumbling sound, but it was deafening to Lu Shanjun and others, and their hearts trembled involuntarily. This was not simply fear, but an instinctive warning.
"Oh? Hahahahahaha... Dao Yuanzi, this is a mortal city with thousands of mortals. How dare you fight me here?"
The slightly sharp sound on the ground echoed with the thunder in the sky. To mortal ears, it sounded like the whistling of a sharp north wind, and it seemed to bring a terrible chill.
"Everything has its birth and death. The world is in chaos and many people have died in this catastrophe. Ending this catastrophe is a blessing for the world..."
The mighty sound echoed through heaven and earth, and its meaning was self-evident. To deal with a monster that has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, one must be determined to destroy it and not waver in one's mind. Last time, it was because of too many concerns that more people and immortal cultivators died.
On the street below, Lu Shanjun still had the same expression, but Lao Niu and Bei Mu's faces changed drastically at the same time.
"It's going to happen!"
Lao Niu even directly pulled Lu Shanjun up and left.
"Lu Wu, you are such an unlucky star. You brought me bad luck as soon as you came here. Go away quickly. The two previous battles between the True Immortals directly or indirectly caused the universe to shake and the heaven and earth to change. Even if we stay here, ten lives will not be enough to die!"
