The sound sounded very loud, but it was actually coming from dozens of miles away.
At least among the people present, whether it was the group of ordinary people without cultivation in front of the city gate, or the city guards with cultivation in the city, even Jiang Xiyan and Qingluo, no one noticed anything.
The only ones who could detect something unusual from such a long distance were Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming.
One of them had just been promoted to Spirit Emperor, and the other was a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage who had disguised himself as a low-level cultivator. For them, witnessing such a grand scene was undoubtedly like being there in person!
The two looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes: an evil spirit was approaching!
Most ordinary people or things walk on the ground or live underground, but the only possibility for something to move so quickly underground and make such a big noise is evil spirits.
And from the sound of this, it seems that the evil spirits coming here are not just one or two, but a whole group!
The two of them thought of the evil wave they encountered at the Jiang family in Jinyang.
Those who were surrounded by the evil tide at that time were all cultivators, including Jiang Guiyuan, a powerful person in the Spiritual Sect realm, as well as Xie Beiming's father Xie Ruse and mother Madam Xie. The couple's cultivation was also not low, and they were both high-level cultivators in the Spiritual Emperor realm.
Even the elders of the Jiang family all have impressive cultivation bases.
but!
Even so, a group of monks who could kill hundreds of people at once were still struggling like trying to catch the moon in the sea when facing the siege of the evil tide. The reason was that the disparity in numbers between the two sides was too great.
Judging from the noises coming from underground, the evil tide that is rapidly approaching here will only be more than the one in Jinyang, not less.
However, those who are now gathered in front of the city gate are basically ordinary people without any cultivation. Once the evil tide surrounds them, these people will surely become fat sheep in the mouths of hungry wolves, and there is only one outcome: becoming food for the evil spirits.
Thinking about that situation, Shen Qiqi shuddered. She quickly said to the city guard who ordered the city gate to be opened, "A large number of evil spirits are approaching here. Let the people enter the city quickly!"
Ever since that time when a large number of evil spirits broke into Jinyang City, other noble families learned lessons and experience and strengthened and upgraded their own city defense barriers.
As long as the protective barrier of the city is not broken and the city guards do not let them in, ordinary evil spirits cannot enter the city.
Such a large-scale evil tide can only be ordinary evil spirits, and the city protection barrier should be able to stop those things.
Unfortunately, the city guard's cultivation was limited, and he couldn't sense the danger approaching dozens of miles away. He squinted his eyes and saw that the surroundings were calm. He said disapprovingly, "Miss, you are probably worrying too much. It's calm right now, so there's no evil tide."
The city guards had a very bad impression of Shen Qiqi because Shen Qiqi first pretended to be the second daughter of their Shen family and took out a forged token of the head of the Shen family in an attempt to sneak into the city.
Now, hearing Shen Qiqi's nonsense, saying that some evil tide was approaching, the city guards looked at Shen Qiqi even more displeased. If it weren't for Jiang Xiyan's face, he would have had Shen Qiqi tied up and thrown out.
This is because Shen Qiqi didn't know what the city defenders were thinking at the moment. If she knew, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
That she was pretending to be the second daughter of the Shen family?
And tie her up and throw her out?
She was a genuine member of the Shen family, but not only was she stopped outside her own home, but she also had to rely on Jiang Xiyan, a member of the Jiang family, to lead her in. This was simply the funniest joke she had heard this year!
However, Shen Qiqi couldn't laugh.
In just the short time she spent talking to the city defenders, the evil tide advanced a lot further.
Judging from the current speed, it will only take half a cup of tea at most for the evil tide to reach the city gate!
Time is too tight, we must get the people into the city quickly!
But the city guards refused to open the city gates to let people pass, and even looked like they wanted to tie up Shen Qiqi and throw her out. For the first time, Shen Qiqi experienced what it meant to be so angry that white smoke came out of her head.
She grabbed the guard's collar and lifted him into the air with one hand, angrily saying, "I'm not negotiating with you now. I'm ordering you to open the city gate immediately, otherwise I'll punish you according to the family rules!"
The city guard was suddenly grabbed by her collar, his neck was strangled tightly, his breathing was blocked, and his face turned red in an instant.
However, this guy was not only stubborn, but also a hard-headed person. He was not threatened by Shen Qiqi at all. Even when his throat was grabbed, he did not show any sign of weakness or begging for mercy. He gasped, "I am only bound by the rules of the Shen family in my life. Whose rules are you talking to me about?"
"What I'm talking about with you is the Shen family's rules!" Shen Qiqi was about to explode with anger. She couldn't help but curse. She stared at the man with her sharp eyes and said angrily, "Open your eyes and see clearly who I am!"
Shen Qiqi decided that starting from tomorrow, no, starting from today, she would stroll around the city gate every now and then to prevent these city guards from not even recognizing their master.
Perhaps it was because Shen Qiqi's aura was too strong, or perhaps it was because he was shocked by the anger rolling in Shen Qiqi's eyes. The city defenders lowered their arrogance. They looked at Shen Qiqi again with scrutiny, and then looked at Jiang Xiyan uncertainly.
What it means is: Young Master Jiang, is this young lady really the second daughter of our Shen family?
Shen Qiqi, the second daughter of the Shen family, who understood the information in the other person's eyes: ... ... She really wanted to smash this stubborn guy's head!
It was rare for Jiang Xiyan to see Shen Qiqi's face flushed with anger. He wanted to laugh but knew it was the wrong time and couldn't laugh. He tried hard to hold it back until his cheeks hurt. He finally suppressed his laughter, coughed lightly, and said to that stubborn person sternly:
"You're so brave to call yourself 'old man' in front of your second daughter... What's the matter? You think the head is too heavy and you don't want it anymore? Do you want me to trouble you and help you cut off the head?"
The stubborn city defender: "..."
Xie Beiming felt sorry for his little wife, afraid that Shen Qiqi would get angry again and do something bad, so he stepped forward and coaxed her softly not to be angry, and put the man down first. Then he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, pushed his fingers upwards, and the Zhuxie Sword was unsheathed.
Like the divine bird raised by Jiang Xiyan, the Zhuxie Sword used by Xie Beiming is also very famous, at least among the hundreds of schools of Taoism.
After all, there are not many swords that can sense the location of evil spirits.
The moment Xie Beiming unleashed his Evil-Slaying Sword, it was practically an announcement of his identity. Everyone then looked at his cool, distinguished demeanor, and his enchantingly beautiful face. He didn't even need to introduce himself; the stubborn city guard was the first to speak, "Master Xie? So you are Master Xie! Your humble servant greets you, Master Xie!"
After the stubborn city guard finished speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to Xie Beiming. His attitude was even more respectful than when he was treating Jiang Xiyan.
