The night was as dark as ink, and Shihe City was covered with a layer of darkness.
Late at night, Shihe City was no longer as noisy as it was during the day, except for occasional laughter from some restaurants. Deep inside the Deng family mansion, the lights were on, and more than a dozen martial masters of the Deng family had gathered together.
"Master." The old man in gray robe came to Deng Jianxiang.
"As agreed, the time is almost up, let's go." A gleam of light flashed in Deng Jianxiang's eyes. The main task of their Deng family tonight was to create chaos in Shihe City and delay the powerful people in the city so that they could not rush to Anshan Town.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Following Deng Jianxiang's order, figures rushed out of the Deng family and disappeared into the night. The Deng family prepared for tonight's operation for three days, not only Wu Zong, but also arranged many back-up plans while trying not to expose the Deng family's situation.
"Master, isn't it too risky for us to do this this time?" the gray-robed old man asked in a deep voice.
Although the Deng family is considered a first-rate family in Shihe City, it is still far inferior to the power of the royal family in Shihe City. If the City Lord's Mansion takes action, it will be difficult for the Deng family to escape unscathed.
"I know this very well, but we have no choice but to do as they arrange." Deng Jianxiang sighed lightly. They couldn't afford to provoke the Mingyue Dynasty, and they couldn't afford to provoke the Blood Moon Hall either. After all, the Deng family was too weak.
Hearing this, the old man in gray robe felt bitter. In the eyes of the practitioners in Shihe City, their Deng family was extremely glorious, but only the senior members of the Deng family knew that the Deng family was just a force supported by the Blood Moon Hall.
…
The Mingyue Dynasty royal family sent troops to guard Shihe City, and the city lord was a descendant of the Mingyue Dynasty royal family, and his cultivation had reached the level of a nine-star martial master. If he used the power of the formation in the city lord's mansion, he would be able to compete with the peak martial master. It was precisely because of this that Shihe City was relatively stable.
The City Lord's Mansion is located slightly east of the center of Shihe City, covering an area of several miles and is the largest building in the city.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was practicing in seclusion in a secret room. This man was the mayor of Shihe City, Tian Hongchen. For a Nine-Star Martial Sect, breaking through to the Martial Honor was the most important thing. Tian Hongchen rarely participated in the affairs of Shihe City unless it was an important event.
"Boom~"
Just then, a loud noise was heard.
"What's going on?"
Tian Hongchen's face changed, and he woke up immediately from his practice and rushed out of the practice room.
"City Lord, it's bad. Fights have suddenly broken out in many places in the city." Tian Hongchen had just rushed out of the training room when an old man in purple clothes quickly came to Tian Hongchen.
“Boom~Boom~”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a loud thunder-like sound was heard in the city again. Flames shot up into the night sky, and even faint shouts of killing could be heard.
"Organize the army to suppress it immediately!" Tian Hongchen's face darkened and he gave the order immediately.
The Mingyue Dynasty was already in great chaos, and there had even been cases of spiritual cultivation forces breaking into cities guarded by the royal family. It was just that for such a big event, he didn't even get any news at all before the other party launched the attack!
"Inside help!"
A gleam of light flashed in Tian Hongchen's eyes. Being able to launch such an attack silently, even involving many places in the city, would be impossible without an insider.
"hateful!"
Tian Hongchen was filled with murderous intent, but he knew very well that the most urgent task now was not to find the insider, but to stabilize the situation in the city. The royal family did not control many cities to begin with, and if another accident happened in Shihe City, the situation of the Mingyue Dynasty royal family would only get worse.
"City Lord, something bad has happened!"
At this moment, a captain in armor quickly came up to Tian Hongchen.
"What happened again?"
Looking at the person coming, Tian Hongchen's face changed. This person was responsible for conveying messages to the guards at the city gate. Could it be that the city gate was attacked? Was there any force that dared to attack the city directly
"There is unusual movement in the direction of Anshan Town. Anshan Town is shrouded in a blood-colored formation!" the captain said hurriedly.
"Anshan Town?"
Tian Hongchen was stunned. If the captain hadn't told him, he would have forgotten that there was such a small town under his command. However, there was a big problem in the city at this time, so he had no time to care about Anshan Town.
Although Anshan Town is important, it is completely insignificant compared to the entire Shihe City. How could Tian Hongchen abandon Shihe City for the sake of Anshan Town!
"Why bother with Anshan Town now? Send people to suppress the destructive practitioners immediately!" Tian Hongchen said hurriedly.
"yes!"
The captain was stunned, but he also saw the chaos in the city and naturally understood that the top priority at this time was to stabilize the situation in the city.
"Um?"
At this moment, Tian Hongchen frowned. Just now, he received a message from the front that the soldiers had not arrived yet, and those practitioners who destroyed the city had already fled.
"We didn't catch any one?" Tian Hongchen gritted his teeth, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
There was a sudden riot in the city, and the defending army went there immediately, but they did not find any enemy. What does this mean? It means that the enemy had planned it in advance, and that the insider was very powerful in Shihe City, otherwise it would be impossible to hide the cultivator who destroyed Shihe City in such a short time.
"well!"
Tian Hongchen laughed in anger. Ever since he took control of Shihe City, he thought he was very polite to the local forces in Shihe City. He did not expect that these forces would dare to secretly collude with the enemy!
"Search for me. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find the person for me!"
Tian Hongchen roared madly. Shihe City had such a huge hidden danger, and this hidden danger must be eliminated. Otherwise, this hidden danger would explode at the critical moment and Shihe City would be doomed.
Shihe City was in chaos, and the City Lord's Mansion was busy trying to stabilize Shihe City. Although they received news that something happened in Anshan Town, it was impossible to send anyone to investigate at this time.
…
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Three figures flew over in mid-air and surrounded Yang Qi and the other two in a flash.
"Nine-star martial sect!"
Looking at the short old man in the lead, Yang Qi and the other two couldn't help shrinking their pupils. The short old man's strength was already a nine-star martial master, and there were two eight-star martial masters beside him. There were even dozens of martial masters on the ground, slaughtering the practitioners of Anshan Town.
"Did you kill Tao Dongchen?" The short old man looked at the three people and said slowly.
There were three high-level martial masters. He originally thought that there was only one high-level master appearing in Anshan Town, but he did not expect that there were three. Fortunately, he arrived immediately, otherwise he would have been late for a moment and the three might have escaped.
"Hmph~ You, the Corpse God Sect, use such devilish methods. Anyone can kill you." Liu Fei snorted coldly.
"Devil's tricks?" The short old man sneered, "It is an honor for these ants to sacrifice their lives for the revival of our religion!"
"No point in talking any more, kill!"
Yang Qi snorted coldly. These Death God Cult practitioners had already been possessed by demons. Today, only one of the three of them and the Corpse God Cult would be able to leave Anshan Town alive. (To be continued)
