He Jingcheng died very simply.
When Li Ye was still in Hedong, he was able to cooperate with Tiandun Tianjian to kill Zhang Ji when he came out of the first Heavenly Dao Secret Realm. At that time, He Jingcheng could only lead everyone to avoid him. Now that Li Ye has been promoted to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his cultivation strength is not what it used to be, and with the supreme magic weapon Lu Gujian in his hand, the opponent is certainly not his opponent.
He Jingcheng's death shocked Zhu Wen, and his terrified heart was no different from that before He Jingcheng's death.
The difference is that when Li Ye reopened the starry night with his sword, he knew that tonight's action had failed. He will no longer have the chance to kill Li Ye, and what's more, He Jingcheng has no ability to protect him.
So his reaction was quick, and at the same time that He Jingcheng turned around to flee, he fled far away.
His figure disappeared in place out of thin air, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the horizon, leaving only a small black spot. The speed of this escape was unmatched, unimaginably fast, and even Li Ye, who wanted to capture He Jingcheng after killing him, was also surprised.
Li Ye didn't try to catch up with Zhu Wen, not because he didn't want to, but because he really couldn't catch up. The body skills that Zhu Wen showed when he escaped have already surpassed the scope of magic skills, and are existences of a higher level.
"The way of space?" Li Ye looked thoughtfully at Zhu Wen who disappeared into the night sky. He had discussed the Daoism with Master Feihong for many years, and he had a deep understanding of the immortal method. He knew that even the top-notch teleportation type immortal method could not make Zhu Wen in the fairyland go so far away at once. Skyrim disappears.
The only explanation is the use of the way of space.
The Dao of Space and the Dao of Time are extremely difficult existences in the Dao. They are completely different from the Dao of Yin-Yang and the Dao of Emptiness and Reality. day of birth.
"It seems that Zhu Wen got the way of space in the secret realm of the Dao of Heaven, but I don't know what Li Maozhen, Gao Pian, and Wang Jian got... It shouldn't be so weak." Li Ye pondered for a moment, from Return at high altitude.
Zhu Wen, who has the way of space, can appear wherever he wants, at least he can advance and retreat completely freely. It is not so easy to kill him. But Li Ye was not too worried. After all, even if Zhu Wen had mastered the way of space, he would never dare to appear in front of him—just like now.
As for whether Zhu Wen would use this technique to assassinate Li Ye's officers and generals, Li Ye was not afraid. Zhu Wen could kill his officers and generals, and Li Ye could also kill Zhu Wen's officers and generals. If this kind of situation happens, it will be a zero-sum game, which is not beneficial to anyone, and the risk itself is huge, neither Li Ye nor Zhu Wen will choose.
The immortals were all dead, Zhu Wen also fled back, and now the peace inside and outside the town has been restored—the peace after being completely destroyed. The houses in the small town were all destroyed, as if they had been wiped off the ground. There were ditches and trenches everywhere within a radius of ten miles, which were caused by the scattered sword energy from the bloody grind.
Neither Wu You nor the fox demon were seriously injured. Although the latter was injured a bit, it didn't hurt at all.
Li Ye sensed the ruins of the town for a while, and soon found the Xie Xie Mopan from the abnormal fluctuations of the spiritual energy. Although it was slashed to silence by Lu Gujian, it was not completely damaged. The outcome of this battle just now is essentially the outcome of Li Ye and He Jingcheng, not to say that Zhu Xiexuemopan is weaker than Lu Jujian.
The Xiexie Blood Mill is the size of a compass, engraved with obscure and profound blood-colored runes, and the runes are connected to form a pattern of ferocious beast heads. The specific shape cannot be seen, and it seems to exist like ghosts and ghosts.
It lies in the ruins. Next to it are the corpses of eight immortals, who seem to be responsible for taking care of it or maintaining its operation, and they are all breathless now.
Li Ye picked up the Xie Xie Blood Mill and looked at it for a while, even though it was silent now, it still had a breathtaking power. When Li Ye observed it, he could feel the power of blood rushing towards his face.
"In the end, it is a magic weapon, no matter how you look at it, it is a treasure. Although the things in the fairy court are basically useless after being used once in the mortal world, there may be room for discussion to what extent they are useless... .. .” Li Ye put it away.
Although the Xiexie Blood Mill seems useless now, since it is not completely damaged, there should be a possibility of glowing and heating. Li Ye doesn't know this thing very well, so he is going to wait for the big demon kings to come and let them take a look.
Back in front of Wu You and Fox Demon, Li Ye did not take them away immediately, but cared about the most fundamental question that made him stay here: "Where did the people inside and outside the town go?"
When Li Ye came here, he found that both the owner of the tea shed and the diners in the restaurant were all disguised as immortals, and that was indeed the case. However, after the whole battle, there were no traces of the original people in the town.
The three searched separately, and soon found traces of more than a thousand people.
They were gathered in several courtyards in the ruins, and it seemed that they were escorted here by He Jingcheng and Zhu Wen.
But now they are all dead, and only the bodies are buried in the rubble.
Each of them had a fatal wound on their body, and their throats were neatly sealed with a sword. It can be seen that they did not die in the bloody grinding formation in the fierce battle, but were killed by immortals before that. Under them, there were large pools of blood, and the smell of blood was still strong and tangy, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Li Ye frowned.
He was attracted here because of the strong smell of blood. At that time, he judged that at least a thousand people would need to die tragically to make the smell of blood so strong, so he came out of the town without hesitation.
The smell of blood is the blood of more than a thousand people.
A smoldering look flashed across Li Ye's eyes.
Zhu Xie Xuemopan can also emit blood energy, but it will be mixed with spiritual energy. Once Li Ye senses it, he will find that there is an obvious problem, so he becomes more cautious, and may not come down directly.
But the smell of blood from the common people did not have this problem, and Li Ye could not be sure that there were big monks making trouble here. In troubled times, it is not ruled out that bandits and other vicious forces kill and injure ordinary people.
He Jingcheng's intentions to ambush him are bitter and sinister.
"Take them back." Li Ye said to Wu You and the fox demon proprietress.
His voice was fairly steady. More than a thousand innocent people died in vain, which is naturally a big event in peacetime, but it is really nothing in troubled times. When a large army goes to war, it is not only the soldiers who are killed or injured. A little bad military discipline will harm the people more than the soldiers.
However, in troubled times, few armies can truly be innocent. The so-called king's division only exists in historical records.
In the final analysis, hundreds of thousands of soldiers cannot be killed in a big war, but after a few battles, the population of the whole country will decrease on a large scale, and in troubled times, the population of the whole country will lose more than half. of.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
The princes and the army seldom treat the people as human beings, and troubled times are not friendly to ordinary people.
When collecting the corpses of the common people, Wu You's face was pale, and he still couldn't accept such cruel actions by He Jingcheng and Zhu Wen. The fox demon even retched several times. If she hadn't experienced the battle of Zhenjiang City, she would have vomited so much that she couldn't get up.
"It is said that the world is full of flowers, the city is full of pearls and households, the roads are full of fragrant BMW cars, and the people are full of people's voices... It seems that this is not the case now." After cleaning up the corpses, the proprietress sat down tired. On the ground, her voice was bitter, and her face was full of disappointment.
In the territory of the monster clan, unless the beasts ravaged, there would definitely not be such an innocent slaughter of a town. On the one hand, the monsters are brave and light-hearted, but on the other hand, they also respect life, at least they will not do such crazy things.
Li Ye didn't say much. The world is both heaven and hell, and the proprietress was just taught the first lesson.
"Brother Ye, Zhu Wen is so bloodthirsty and brutal, when will we kill him?" Wu You asked Li Ye solemnly. She has seen the appearance of troubled times long ago, and knows that human life is worthless, but her heart is still kind. The scene in front of her made her hate Zhu Wen, and she hoped that Li Ye would end the chaos in the world as soon as possible, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world.
Li Ye glanced in the direction of Zhongyuan, then turned around and assured Wu You: "We will send troops when we return to Pinglu."
This was something he had planned before leaving Yaozu. Dao soldiers continued to descend, and Ye Chang always had dreams, so Zhu Wen had to be dealt with first. Furthermore, the demon cultivators will soon come to the mortal world in large numbers, and Li Ye has no reason to let them be idle and make trouble.
It is well known that Zhu Wen is bloodthirsty and brutal. He liked to kill and surrender before, and was dissuaded by his wife. But this does not disqualify him from becoming a prince. If there is no Li Ye in the world, Zhu Wen will still establish the so-called Houliang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Li Ye and the others did not leave the town immediately. This place has just experienced a big battle, and the vision will attract the attention of the state and county officials, and they will immediately send people over to check, and Li Ye will tell them to deal with the aftermath of the people in the town.
He, Wu You, and the fox demon just collected the corpses of the common people, and they had to be handed over to the local officials to do it, so that there was a possibility of erecting a monument, otherwise they could only be buried hastily, with a name on the grave There is no way.
It has always been a very tragic thing to die without a name and no tombstone.
In less than two hours, the officials of the county government rushed over, and the county magistrate set off in person. As a monk in the Qi refining period, he was not slow on his way.
After Li Ye explained the situation to the other party and asked them to erect monuments for the common people, he took Wu You and Fox Demon and left the town.
The figures of Li Ye and others disappeared into the night sky. The county magistrate and others maintained the posture of giving gifts, and it took a long time to straighten their waists. When the county magistrate arrived, he sighed and said, "Zhu Wen killed someone, His Highness erected a monument. When this matter spreads all over the world, everyone in the world will know that Zhu Wen is cruel, His Highness is benevolent and righteous, and the Central Plains will be settled soon!"
When it was time to return to Qingzhou, when Li Ye arrived at the palace, he did not disturb the crowd, and asked Wu You to take the fox demon to rest and return to the residence by himself.
Even if Li Ye was not around, the Prince An's Mansion was still brightly lit at night, whether it was the monks on duty or the patrolling guards, they were all orderly and full of energy. Li Ye deliberately checked it on the way back to the residence, but didn't find a single flaw.
The guard of Prince An's Mansion has always been the general of Shangguan Qingcheng. Now Shangguan Qingcheng is Pinglu's second only to Liu Dazheng. He has great power and has to deal with a lot of military affairs every day, but she still goes to the palace every day to inspect and defend himself. . In her opinion, there is no military affairs more important than ensuring the safety of the palace.
The Hengchongdu soldiers under her command were stationed just outside Prince An's Mansion. In terms of their relationship with Li Ye, they were "back building soldiers" who were closer than Yabing.
