Chapter 128 The Great Wall

The clear sound of birds singing came from the woods.

The bright sunlight shone through the window sill, quietly climbed onto the bed, and fell between the woman's long eyelashes and silver hair.

She lay in bed, sleeping very soundly and peacefully, like a little girl.

Xiao Mo sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping woman, gently holding her hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Mo carefully put her little hand into the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, then stood up and slowly walked out of the room.

Outside the house, Fu Chen and Li Sisi were waiting for him.

"In the days to come, I'll have to trouble you two to take care of Ruxue." Xiao Mo bowed solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao." Fu Chen nodded. "It's not just Miss Ruxue. After a while, I will ask Sisi to bring Xiaoqing back as well."

Li Sisi took a step forward, a look of worry on her face. "Brother Xiao, are you going to the Great Wall now to participate in the battle between humans and demons?"

"Yeah." Xiao Mo turned around and cast his gaze on the sleeping woman in the house again, "It's better to go earlier, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."

Li Sisi seemed to want to say something, her lips moved, but she finally closed her mouth.

Xiao Mo took a step back: "Mo, goodbye."

Fu Chen nodded and responded: "Take care, Mr. Xiao."

“Do your best.”

Xiao Mo revealed a faint smile, bowed again, then turned around, his figure transformed into a stream of light, and flew quickly towards the Great Wall.

"Master, Mr. Xiao... can he really accumulate enough merits on this trip?" Li Sisi looked at her master with trepidation.

Fu Chen shook his head slightly: "Who knows."

Li Sisi lowered her head, her voice filled with sadness: "Miss Bai and Brother Xiao, they are so pitiful. They had waited for such a long time in their previous life, but in this life, they still have to wait for each other."

"yes."

Fu Chen raised his head and looked at the vast sky with deep eyes.

"How long will Heaven let them wait?"

It took Xiao Mo two full months to finally arrive at the Demon-Suppressing City.

The Demon-Suppressing City is a huge city built behind the Great Wall.

Although it is called a city, its actual scale is as vast as that of a medium-sized country.

Xiao Mo raised his head and looked up, only to see the towering Great Wall, a thousand feet high, crawling like a giant dragon, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It was as if a god had written a huge dividing line between heaven and earth, separating the world of demons from the world of all laws.

Step into the Demon-Suppressing City.

At first glance, this city seems to be no different from an ordinary town in the mortal world.

The streets were bustling with people, small stalls and vendors lined up on both sides of the streets, hawking their wares enthusiastically, and the inn's waiter stood at the door of the restaurant, shouting hard to attract customers.

There were even women from brothels who wore cool gauze, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, and stood at the brothels, waving their handkerchiefs to attract customers.

However, the most fundamental difference from mortal towns is that the people walking around in this demon-suppressing city are almost all cultivators, and ordinary people are rarely seen.

Even the women in Cuihua Tower are female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect.

Some cultivators feel that their lifespans are drawing to a close and that there is no hope for a breakthrough through seclusion. They will choose to come to the Demon-Suppressing City, walk down the Great Wall, and go deep into the demon world to fight desperately, hoping to find an opportunity for a breakthrough in the desperate situation of life and death.

Even if they fail to break through in the end, dying on the battlefield is a kind of destination for them.

In addition, there are many monks in Wanfa Tianxia who were exiled here for committing serious mistakes.

They are not allowed to leave this place for the rest of their lives and can only guard the border here to atone for their sins.

Some people came to the Demon-Suppressing City with the purpose of seeking opportunities.

Any cultivator who dares to walk down the Great Wall and kill the monsters will receive corresponding military merits.

With these accumulated military merits, they can exchange them for almost anything they want, even legendary immortal weapons.

Not to mention, by killing the demons with your own hands, you can directly plunder the various treasures they carry with them.

Therefore, over time, there was an endless stream of cultivators coming to the Demon-Suppressing City.

At this moment, as the war is about to break out, the demon clan has already gathered heavy troops under the Great Wall. More and more cultivators, whether voluntarily or not, have been recruited or taken the initiative to come here to guard.

There are two other strategic fortresses as crucial as the Great Wall in Wanfa Tianxia.

One is Jiange,

The other place is Longhuang Island in the North Sea.

If any of these three places is lost, the whole world will be devastated and plunged into disaster.

Xiao Mo found a broker and said he wanted to rent a yard.

Finally, the broker took Xiao Mo to a relatively secluded courtyard in the north of the city.

This courtyard is located in a remote area, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, which is exactly what Xiao Mo wants.

However, when Xiao Mo was about to pay, the clerk waved his hand and refused to take the money.

"Sir, you don't need to pay the rent." The clerk explained with a smile on his face.

"Why is this?" Xiao Mo looked puzzled.

"Because the rent for the courtyard you live in, sir, has already been paid in advance by the city lord."

The clerk in the dental shop answered respectfully.

"Now that the war is imminent, the City Lord has specifically instructed that as long as the property is not purchased but merely leased, all expenses will be borne by the City Lord's Mansion of Demon Suppression City."

"I see." Xiao Mo nodded, "Then I've taken advantage."

The clerk smiled and said, "Sir, you are too kind. You are here in person on the front lines to defend the human race against the demons. The entire human race should be grateful to you.

If the Great Wall were ever breached, the Demon-Suppressing City were lost, and the entire world were reduced to scorched earth, then no matter how many mansions and properties we have, they would no longer exist."

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing."

The clerk in the pawn shop turned serious and gave careful instructions.

"Sir, please pay attention to the bells in our demon-suppressing city.

The big bell in the city is a special magic weapon. Once it is rung, its sound will immediately spread throughout the entire Demon-Suppressing City.

If the bell rings only once, it means that only a small group of demons are coming to harass.

If it rings twice, it means that the demon clan has gathered an army of 100,000 and is approaching.

if……"

"Bang!"

Before the clerk from the dental shop could finish his words, a loud and deep bell sound suddenly rang out, instantly spreading throughout the entire Demon-Suppressing City.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Within three breaths, the bell rang three times.

"What do these three bell rings mean?" Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze from the direction of the bell tower and looked at the clerk in the pawnshop.

His face turned pale in an instant.

"gentlemen……"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on the clerk's forehead.

"The three rings of the bell...are the instructions.

The battle between humans and demons truly begins today."
