But no matter what his junior brother said, Dao Yuanzi still focused on the entire battlefield. At least for now, he had no opponent. This was a huge deterrent to the remaining demons. He could decide the outcome of this battle without taking any action, because his existence itself was a great power.
There are definitely a lot of capable demons in the Apocalypse Alliance, and many of them were in the city before this encounter. Although some of the truly powerful and intelligent ones, such as Wang Youhong and Lu Shanjun, have escaped, they are only a small part after all, and there are still hundreds of demons trapped.
At this moment, the old beggar was thinking about Tu Siyan's matter. He took a piece of the opponent's clothes in his hand and used his spiritual sense to sense the subtle changes. Anyway, the overall situation here had been decided.
At this time, disciples of Qianyuan Sect and other immortal cultivators also appeared riding on immortal lights, and fought with many demons whose vitality had been damaged. The dragon clan also joined the battle, and the main target of the dragon clan was the demon clan, especially when there were dragons and dragons in the Apocalypse Alliance, they would be attacked by all the dragons.
Amid the roars of dragons, the battle situation seemed chaotic, but the upper and lower winds were already very obvious. Dao Yuanzi's mood also improved a lot, which was rare. He showed off his power in front of his junior fellow apprentice.
"These guys who hide their heads and show their tails will definitely be beaten up badly today!"
The old beggar glanced at Dao Yuanzi, who was shining with immortal light beside him, and put the pieces of cloth in his hand into the rag pocket of his clothes.
"Brother, you have been away from the world for a long time. Considering the current situation in Tianyuzhou..."
Dao Yuanzi looked at the old beggar, waiting for the words from this junior fellow apprentice whom he had not seen for at least a hundred years. The old beggar paused and thought of Ji Yuan.
"I have a good friend who likes playing with the human world just like me, but I am purely playing with it, while he is good at observing changes in the human world. For example, the situation in Yuzhou today is just as he once said about the situation of the military. It is already a situation of war on all sides. Even if the nine-tailed fox demon Tu Siyan really died under your thunder magic, I am afraid that the next step will be to directly switch from detection and harassment to a large army attack."
Dao Yuanzi frowned and looked around the world.
"You actually know that fox demon? From what you said, it seems that you think she is still alive?"
"Old beggar, I do know her, and I have fought with her before. Tu Siyan was just an eight-tailed demon fox at the time, but she already had quite a lot of skills, and was even able to temporarily use external forces to gain the power of the nine-tailed fox. Now she is much stronger than before, and should not be underestimated."
Dao Yuanzi nodded.
"Your good friend is Mr. Ji, right?"
"Um."
The fight between the two has reached a fever pitch. The remaining demons are trying their best to get a chance of survival, but the power of resistance is getting weaker and weaker.
…
A flood will eventually recede, but this flood was a disaster for the people who had been living a peaceful life. Many people woke up trembling and found that the original city had been destroyed and turned into ruins. Many people lay in the ruins after the flood receded, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Gusts of cold wind blew, waking up more and more people, who were soaked. The weather was so cold, most people had injuries, and their homes were destroyed. This reality was undoubtedly too cruel.
"Hey... Hey... My inn, where is the inn?"
The original innkeeper woke up from a pile of broken wood. He didn't know how far away his inn was, nor was he sure whether it was in the same block. All the houses were destroyed, some completely collapsed, and some were seriously damaged. Only the stone slabs on the street were still intact.
"Family, where are the family?"
The shop owner was a little dazed and then suddenly woke up. He ran aimlessly on the street. There were many people in the same state as him, with confusion and panic on their faces.
Wang Youhong, Niu Batian, Lu Shanjun and Beimu also stood up from the ruins. There were only four of them. The other two monsters who were originally with them were not there. No one knew whether they died somewhere else or just had bad luck. However, it was obvious that none of the four people present cared about the life or death of their so-called companions.
The sign of Yingbinlou Inn was not far from Lu Shanjun's feet. He looked down at the sign, which was barely intact, and looked around the city. There were few intact buildings, and even the four city walls only had some battlements left. But the strange thing was that although the whole city should have been destroyed, nearly half of the buildings had not collapsed.
"Oops!"
The old cow suddenly screamed, causing the other three to be highly alert.
"What's wrong?"
The old cow gritted his teeth and looked in a certain direction in the city.
"I wonder what happened to Mengchunlou. If it's destroyed, I wonder what will happen to the girls in the building? We have finally enjoyed the pleasure of living there!"
Lu Shanjun's eyebrows jumped, but he pretended not to hear, and Bei Mu grinned.
"I don't think many mortals around here have actually died. Those women are relatively young, so I don't think anything serious will happen. But this brothel probably can't be saved."
Wang Youhong picked up her peach branch from the ground. One third of the flowers on it had already fallen off. She shook off the water droplets on it and looked at Lao Niu with a sneer.
"You don't want to go take a look, do you?"
The old cow grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, but said nothing and did not move.
The noises around were getting louder and louder, and more and more people were waking up in the cold. If the current situation continued to develop, even if they escaped the battle between good and evil and the baptism of the great flood, countless people would still be frozen to death or starved to death.
However, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and in this cold winter, it was emitting a different kind of heat than before. Not long after, the people who were shivering with cold suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore, because their clothes had dried during the activity. However, most of the anxious people didn't notice this.
"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers... It's useless for us to panic now. Let's help each other, arrange people to find family members together, and help those in need together."
An old but loud voice rang out in the city, which obviously contained magical power, which subconsciously attracted the people around who heard the voice. Lu Shanjun took a look from afar and knew that this person was the transformed land god.
There are more than one or two people like this in the city. Some are local gods, ghosts from the underworld, and some are directly immortals. They guide people in the city to help each other and have begun to repair some houses. The officials in the city seem to have known some inside story and obey these people's orders.
A lot of food floated in a river passing through the city, which prompted the people in the city to organize themselves to salvage it.
Lu Shanjun and others quietly left the city when night was about to fall. They looked at the lights from afar. Although it was far less prosperous than in the past, life was recovering rapidly.
"Uh, you guys think, is Tu Siyan really dead?"
Niu Batian suddenly said this. The young man Wang Youhong, who was closest to him, couldn't help but sneer.
"What? You dare to even think about her body?"
The old cow chuckled.
"I just think this fox is tougher. As for worrying about his health, I am not the kind of person who will eat anything when I am hungry!"
"It's not suitable to stay here for long. Let's go first."
Lu Shanjun glanced at Lao Niu and saw a meaningful look in the latter's eyes. He calmly reminded everyone, and they had no objections and flew away from the place at a low altitude.
…
In the city that experienced the flood, the girls of Mengchun Tower were of course also unlucky in the flood. They were wearing thin clothes. Originally, Mengchun Tower was intact and there were heaters inside. Now, all the beautiful girls were shivering with cold.
Moreover, these girls were all from brothels. Normally, men would call them their sweethearts when they went to Mengchunlou, but now not many people really cared about them. Some even took the opportunity to take advantage of the girls scattered around the city.
Fortunately, the owner of the brothel did not want these cash cows to come to any harm, so he sent people to search all over the city. After great efforts, he managed to find most of the girls and let them huddle in a few relatively intact rooms to keep warm.
A popular actress in Mengchunlou snuggled up with her sister, rubbing her slightly cold arms, then reached out to her chest, pinched the red thread to pull out a round ring of white jade buried in her chest, and gently stroked it to feel the warmth of the white jade.
"Sister, this jade is so beautiful."
"Well, this is called a peace locket. It's not finely carved, but the jade is very exquisite."
"Sister, who gave this to you? Why is it so unforgettable to you?"
These kinds of things are usually given by customers, but most of them are packed in boxes and people would not carry them with them unless they really like them.
Hearing the teasing questions from the sister next to her, the woman blushed slightly. The man who gave her the white jade was a sturdy man who looked as simple as a farmer, but he was very unforgettable.
"He is very strong and gentle..."
As she was speaking, the woman suddenly felt a slight burning sensation on her hand. It didn't hurt her hand but she could feel it obviously. She looked down subconsciously and found that the white jade was actually glowing slightly. But it seemed that none of the sisters around her could see it. The words "Don't be alarmed" appeared on the jade pendant. Then her eyes blurred and the jade ring in her hand disappeared.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then she pressed her chest and looked around, but she didn't find the white jade. Only a red rope was left around her neck.
"What's wrong, sis?"
"I... nothing..."
For some reason, the woman felt calm and did not say anything.
An old man with crutches in the center of the city was directing a team of young men to carry wooden boards to repair a house. Suddenly he felt something and looked down. He found that a round piece of white jade had appeared in his hand, with a circle of tiny words appearing on it.
'Qianyuanzong Lu Niansheng personally wrote...'
"Hiss..."
The old man's hand trembled, and he quickly grasped the white jade in his palm. After looking around and not noticing anything, he said to the young man in front of him.
"Well, it's getting dark, and I'm a little tired. When you're done with this, go eat, take a rest, and continue tomorrow. I'm old and can't hold on any longer, so I'll go take a rest first."
"Hey." "Uncle Liu, please go quickly."
"Would you like me to help you?"
"No, no, I'm not too old to walk!"
The old man turned into the alley with his cane, and when no one was watching, he disappeared in a flash of yellow light.
