With the experience of using the altar last time, Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi were much calmer this time. They opened their eyes in the space tunnel and looked at the non-human monster scratching outside the space tunnel. They were not panicked at all, because they knew that although the monster looked very close, it was actually separated by a long space and it was impossible for it to break into the space tunnel.
Jiang Yunyan seemed to be trying to scare the two of them, and she said in a trembling voice, "In fact, it is not absolutely impossible for this monster to break into the space tunnel."
pity,
Her acting was so exaggerated that it didn't scare Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi, but instead made them look a little funny.
Xu Lian decided to cooperate with her and act as her supporting actor, and asked, "Why do you say that, sister?"
Jiang Yunyan said, "Think about it, in the distant past, this monster was extremely ferocious. Some powerful people could only banish it into the turbulent space, but could not kill it. This shows that it has reached the level of immortality. It keeps digging a way back. Even if it can only dig a little distance every day, as long as the time is long enough, it will be able to come back sooner or later."
Xu Lian thought about it and nodded. "There are countless people using the altar every day in the world. Even if this monster digs through space and breaks into the space tunnel, it is unlikely that we will encounter it. We don't have that bad luck."
A bright light appears.
The three of them had no choice but to close their eyes.
When the strong light disappeared, I opened my eyes and found myself standing on the altar outside Pingyang County.
This place is desolate.
There were no horses and no exotic animals.
The three of them had no choice but to walk towards Pingyang County.
"Aren't you going to Guitongling? Why are you coming back to Pingyang County with us?"
Xu Lian looked at Jiang Yunyan.
Jiang Yunyan glared at him. "You've been a guest at the Jiang family for half a month. What's wrong with me going to your house to pay you a return visit? Is that not okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xu Lian responded with a smile.
He felt a little strange in his heart. Jiang Yunyan came back with him and had already arrived in Pingyang County, but she did not go to Guitong Ridge and insisted on going back to Pingyang County with him. Could it be that she really had feelings for him as Xianyu said
But Xian Yu knew this clearly, and still persuaded Jiang Yunyan to go back to Pingyang County with him. What did this mean
Could it be that he was encouraging Jiang Yunyan to be with him? If so, he would be very excited. Jiang Yunyan was pretty, tall, and straightforward. She was truly a rare good woman.
Of course, this was just his guess. Before he was sure whether Jiang Yunyan was interested in him, he shouldn't act rashly... lest he ruin their relationship and make things awkward.
As they walked, the three of them discovered something was wrong!
Pingyang County can be seen ahead.
However, no matter how I walked, I couldn't reach my destination.
"A trick to hit the wall?"
Xiao Xixi's face changed.
Xu Lian's heart skipped a beat. "Something is wrong. When we followed the caravan out of Pingyang County, Pingyang County was fine. How come there is a strange wall outside the city gate now?"
He couldn't help but become anxious. Something might have happened in Pingyang County, and he was worried about the safety of Pei Zhaoxi and Lin Wan.
Without having time to think, he activated the white cat clone in the house at No. 1, Jiazi, on the first street of Pingyang County. After he left Pingyang County with the caravan, in order to avoid distraction on the road and to avoid multitasking, he let the white cat clone hibernate in the house at No. 1, Jiazi. He had no idea what was happening in Pingyang County at the moment.
...
Pingyang County.
First Street.
House No. 1, Type A.
The white cat clone that was sleeping in the main house opened its cat eyes and left the main house.
I came to the yard, used the key, opened the barrier of the house, and walked out of the gate.
“Boom boom boom!”…
I heard a series of explosions and saw a shocking scene. The entire First Street was in chaos, flames shot into the sky, and many demons and monsters were burning, killing and looting. People from various families and practitioners fled in terror.
At the spirit tree, an old woman holding a cane, an old man holding a compass, and another old man were snatching the fruits from the spirit tree. They had a fierce battle with the garrison commander. The garrison commander's squirrel fur was ruffled and his body was covered in blood. He had suffered serious injuries.
Oh my goodness... The white cat clone understood that it was the sacred tree that had borne fruit, which had caused various forces and demons and monsters to cause chaos and take advantage of the situation to rob.
Although I had heard that the spiritual tree was about to enter its fruit-bearing period, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
With a "whoosh", the white cat clone shrank back to House No. 1 and closed the barrier to prevent troublemakers and demons and monsters from breaking in.
...
Outside Pingyang County.
Xu Lian already knew the situation on First Street through the perspective of the white cat clone, and became more worried about the safety of Pei Zhaoxi and Lin Wan.
"Something happened in Pingyang County. Various forces and demons are trying to snatch spiritual fruits and plunder spiritual resources. I have to go back quickly!"
He flipped his hand and the Sword of Destruction appeared in his hand. He was ready to use the Sword of Destruction to break this strange wall.
Jiang Yunyan stopped him, "To break a strange wall, you don't need the Sword of World Destruction. Don't use it everywhere. I can break the strange wall."
Xu Lian put away the Sword of Destroying the World and urged, "Sister, what are you waiting for? Several of my friends are still in Pingyang County. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. We can't wait."
Jiang Yunyan also knew that the situation was urgent, so she took out a dead wind lantern and put it in front of her, "Follow me."
A big clan has many magic weapons... Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi followed her.
Under the light of this lamp, a row of strange footprints appeared on the ground. Jiang Yunyan walked forward on the footprints, and Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi followed suit.
Xiao Xixi was curious, "Miss Jiang, what kind of lamp is this?"
"The oil lamp of a thousand-year-old corpse."
Jiang Yunyan said casually.
Xiao Xixi didn't ask any more questions...
Xu Lian was not in the mood to know all this now, he just urged Jiang Yunyan to walk faster.
The three of them followed the strange footprints on the ground and soon approached the city gate.
The city gates were closed and there was no one inside.
There were no patrolling officers or soldiers on the city walls.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”…
Xu Lian took the lead in the charge and jumped onto the city wall, while Jiang Yunyan and Xiao Xixi followed him.
The entire Pingyang County was in chaos, with fires everywhere and blood all over the streets, but not a single body. People were walking around the streets like zombies, and ghosts were wandering from house to house, searching for supplies for their spiritual practice.
Xiao Xixi felt his scalp tingling, "Are all the people in the city dead?"
Jiang Yunyan saw the clues, "Some are dead, some are not dead, they were poisoned by the zombies, temporarily lost their minds, and turned into zombies."
Xu Lian didn't care about anything else. He jumped down from the city wall and went straight to the house bought by Pei Heng and Pei Zhaoxi.
When they arrived at the house, they found that the maid the brother and sister had bought was walking around the house like a zombie.
Xu Lian did not notice Pei Heng and Pei Zhaoxi. The brother and sister were not here, so they were probably in the martial arts hall.
He went straight to Hanshan Martial Arts School.
Jiang Yunyan and Xiao Xixi followed him silently. Knowing that he was anxious at the moment, they did not ask too many questions.
Arrived at Hanshan Martial Arts School.
I saw the door was sealed.
Xu Lian kicked the door open and rushed in.
It was discovered that the martial artists and students were hiding in a corner, each of them holding a weapon in their hands, but they were frightened to the point of paleness and fear in their eyes. In the face of such a city-wide disaster, these students, including the martial artists, were too weak and had no ability to protect themselves.
Seeing Xu Lian, Pei Zhaoxi ran out of the crowd in great joy, threw herself into his arms, and beat him while crying, "Xu Lian, you are such a heartless person. You didn't come back for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Xu Lian hugged her tightly, stroked her hair, and consoled her, "Zhao Xi is my baby, how could I not want her? I'm back now."
Pei Zhaoxi cried and threatened, "If you dare to leave me for so long again next time, I will secretly be with another man and make you angry to death!"
"..." Xu Lian was so excited when he heard this that he immediately said sweet words to her to comfort her.
Knowing that she was just saying that in anger, Xu Lian was already happy with such a high favorability level and it was impossible for him to betray her.
Of course, if a woman really betrays him, his favorability will plummet, and Xu Lian will be able to see it.
Xiao Xixi and Jiang Yunyan's eyes widened. They didn't expect that Xu Lian had such a fierce woman.
Pei Heng's face turned pale. "The city is too scary. I want to go back to the countryside of Green Bamboo Town."
Xu Lian knew that Luzhu Town was not absolutely safe. If the "deep well ice" in the well broke out, it would be a disaster. It would definitely cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, making all the major forces around it shudder. The scene would be much worse than that in Pingyang County.
Xu Lian said to Jiang Yunyan and Xiao Xixi, "Sister and Xixi stay here and watch over this place for me. I still have to go save other friends."
Jiang Yunyan and Xiao Xixi agreed.
Xu Lian left in a hurry and went to the First Street.
