In the lord's mansion.

"Madam, something bad has happened!"

Li Xiangyu, who had just finished breakfast and was drinking tea with her father and brother in the hall, changed her expression the moment the alarm bell rang. She was about to go out to see what was going on when she was stopped by a priest who hurried over to report the news.

The eldest lady frowned slightly. She knew this worshiper, an eight-ring magician with a good status in the Su family. She couldn't help but ask, "Waiter Fu, what happened?"

"The Lilong Cult is killing civilians outside the city, destroying roads and railway tracks, and even the Lord has been implicated."

Speaking of the Lilong Sect, the short-statured Fu Gongsheng also had a look of fear on his face, as if the other party would break into the Su Mansion at the next moment.

"What?! Lilong Cult?"

Not to mention Li Xiangyu, even Li Shenhua, who also walked out of the room, had a drastic change of expression.

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

In Fengwu Province, no one knew the horror of the Lilong Sect better than him, so after hearing the news, Li Shenhua was stunned.

......

Wuliu City, suburbs.

The number of believers in the Lilong Church is increasing. There are already hundreds of believers who have blocked all the important railways and roads leading to the outside of Wuliu City. All vehicles passing through have been stopped. Some civilians are unaware of the specific situation. If they put up a little resistance, they will be reduced to ashes along with their vehicles.

The Lilong Cult is notoriously overbearing in its conduct on the Gravity Continent, but generally does not kill civilians within its borders. There is only one reason for this, and that is when something has indeed happened that the Lilong Cult attaches great importance to.

Following the decree issued from the Lord's Mansion, the garrison in Wuliu City was being mobilized. However, after learning that the high-ranking members of the Lilong Sect were about to arrive, for the sake of the city's safety, they did not immediately leave the city to fight. Instead, they notified the masters of the major families to assemble and sent the Supreme Elder Su Changyun to negotiate.

During this period, the urgent letter for help sent to the provincial capital was still on the way.

The attack of the Lilong Cult is the biggest crisis Wuliu City has ever encountered. Never before has a force of this level attacked such a remote small city. Without the assistance of the upper pillars of the kingdom, it is impossible to effectively resist.

Above the clouds.

Su Changyun was engulfed in flames as he flew out of the Su Mansion, carrying Xu Xianxian with him. For a great wizard, a distance of dozens of kilometers was not too far. He could reach the destination quickly by using flying magic regardless of the cost.

"Elder, is the Lilong Cult an evil sect that would perform blood sacrifices on civilians?"

Xu Xianxian did not use her Dan Qi to fly, but sat in Su Changyun's fire cloud and let him take her flying.

"The Lilong Cult is very tyrannical. Although they kill countless people, they will not sacrifice a large number of civilians. On the Gravity Continent, apart from the Tuosman Demon Nation, no country or organization would wantonly slaughter other countries for no reason. This is a real war."

Su Changyun's expression was not as relaxed as Xu Xianxian's, it was even very heavy. After hearing the girl's question, he finally paid some attention to answer.

"The Demonic Kingdom of Tusman..." Xu Xianxian secretly memorized the name. This country had never appeared in any of the geographical atlases she had bought. Then she asked, "What kind of strength do the leaders of the Lilong Cult have?"

This is what Xu Xianxian is most concerned about. On the Gravity Continent, does the Lilong Sect, which is comparable to a country, have a legendary wizard in charge?

"Among the guardian-level cultivators of the Lilong Sect, the weakest is only thirteen rings." Su Changyun glanced at Xu Xianxian and said in a deep voice, "You are the hope of the Su family. If a guardian-level expert really comes, I will send you away immediately."

"This Fire Escape Cloud Paper is one of the Su family's treasures over the years. As long as I activate the secret door on it, I can immediately allow you to escape thousands of miles away."

As he spoke, he took out a yellowish-brown sticker from his pocket, which was only the size of a palm, and stuck it directly on Xu Xianxian's back.

"Such a precious treasure, wouldn't the elder keep it for himself?"

Xu Xianxian silently looked at the Fire Release Cloud Paper sticking to her body. After a moment of silence, she slowly asked.

"I'm old now, and not only is my soul gradually declining, but so is my magic power. Living a few decades longer or shorter doesn't make much of a difference." Su Changyun laughed. "If the Lilong Sect truly has ill intentions and wants to attack Wuliu City, I will fulfill the mission of the Grand Elder diligently, even if it costs me my life."

This is the difference between an aristocratic family and a lone ranger. Although the natural law of survival of the fittest also applies within an aristocratic family, that is only internal competition. When faced with a crisis, they will still unite to face the outside world and will not scatter like birds and beasts when disaster strikes. This is the cohesion of a bloodline family.

A family can only continue if people continue to sacrifice and leave behind the flame.

"But you are different. You are still young, and the road ahead is too long."

He spoke slowly, glanced at the girl who had not yet completely lost her youthfulness, and fell silent.

"Well, don't worry. If I really find something wrong, I will definitely run faster than you, Elder."

Xu Xianxian grinned, looking carefree, like a carefree girl who grew up in an ordinary family.

But what she said was indeed the truth. The Su family was not worth her life. Although she could not be killed by those below the legendary level, two or three great wizards of the thirteenth and fourteenth rings were enough to destroy her body, and then suppress or even seal her true spirit.

If you are sealed, it will be extremely difficult to escape, which is more painful than complete death.
