Just when several elders were about to pluck out their hair, a man rushed in from outside.
It was the city guard who came to report the news.
The city guard ran up to the elders in one breath, and without even taking a breath, he opened his mouth and said, "..."
Nothing was said.
The defenders came running all the way here at full speed, and were too excited. Now their breath was stuck in their throats and they couldn't breathe in or out. Their square faces turned purple and they were about to suffocate to death.
The fourth elder noticed something was wrong and rushed over to support the city guard. He injected a lot of spiritual power into his body, and only then did the city guard recover.
Seeing that he was fine, the fourth elder let him go and looked him up and down.
The man was sweating profusely, his hair was disheveled, and he was breathing heavily like an old cow. Only one shoe was left on his foot after running. His clothes, head and face were all covered with dust, which showed that he had fallen on the way here, and more than once.
Seeing that he was running in such a hurry, and thinking about what had happened recently in Yuzhou City, the Fourth Elder knew what had happened without asking any questions.
Apart from the evil spirits attacking the city, what else could be causing such a fuss in Yuzhou City?
The fourth elder's heart sank. He forced himself to remain calm and asked the city guard, "What's going on?"
He is an elder and needs to remain stable and not cause chaos, so he has to ask the necessary questions.
The same was true for the other elders. They were clearly anxious like ants on a hot pan, but they still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Elders, please go to the city gate and take a look! The evil spirits are coming again, in large numbers, at least 20,000 to 30,000..."
The defender had not yet fully recovered. After he finished speaking these words while holding his breath, he felt a tightness in his chest and was gasping for breath, so he had to stop and take a deep breath.
Although the elders had already anticipated this, now that their expectations were confirmed, they could no longer remain calm and their expressions changed drastically.
In recent times, although Yuzhou City has been harassed by evil spirits every day, the number is not too large, only about a dozen or twenty or thirty each time.
The most at one time was only 108, definitely not 20,000 or 30,000 that appeared all of a sudden!
Twenty or thirty thousand evil spirits, swarming over here, just like a swarm of locusts. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and I shudder!
The fourth elder gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! We in Yuzhou must have dug up the ancestral graves that those dogs smashed up. Otherwise, why would those dogs keep staring at us and biting us... Even if they come, I'll make sure they never come back!"
The Fourth Elder finished speaking and was about to rush out with red eyes. The city guard had recovered by now and saw this and shouted, "Fourth Elder! The evil spirits have all been burned to death by the Second Miss! They burned them right at the city gate!"
The Fourth Elder, who was rushing out, stopped abruptly upon hearing this. He then turned around and grabbed the guard's collar, "What did you say? Say it again!"
The other elders also stretched their necks, staring at the city guard's mouth without blinking, fearing that what they had just heard was an illusion.
What did they just hear?
The evil spirits that came to the city gate were all burned to death by the second girl?
But that was a group of evil spirits, there were 20,000 or 30,000 of them, how could they all be burned to death in one fire! How powerful must that fire be!
Several elders were shocked by the news and thought they were dreaming for a moment.
This time the defender did not speak or breathe heavily.
He described to the elders what happened in front of the city gate in a vivid way, even using gestures.
Finally, he swung his hands and drew a big circle in the air with the length of his arms.
"Elders, you didn't see it. The white tiger that the second young lady brought back had a head this big. It could swallow a whole bunch of evil spirits in one bite! And the white tiger's eyes were golden and glowed..."
Before the city guards could finish their words, the Fourth Elder had already rushed towards the city gate like the wind, followed closely by the Second, Third, Sixth, and Seventh Elders. Only the First Elder remained calm and ordered those around him, "Hurry, tell the Fifth Elder the good news!"
In order to kill the evil spirits and protect the safety of the people in Yuzhou City, Lao Wu has been working day and night for several days. Until yesterday, he was injured and almost fainted on the top of the city wall. Then he was taken back by them and forcibly locked in the room to recuperate and rest.
The second girl is back, and as soon as she comes back she kills tens of thousands of evil spirits. This is such exciting good news, it would be better for him to tell the fifth brother in person.
But he couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to go to the city gate to see the second girl and the white tiger with golden eyes that the second girl brought back!
After the Great Elder gave his instructions to his servants, he immediately ran towards the city gate at the brisk pace.
On the other side, in the courtyard of the five elders.
The fifth elder, who was supposed to be resting in bed, was now sitting at a round table drinking tea.
The Fifth Elder is almost fifty years old this year, but people who practice cultivation do not look their age very well, especially when their cultivation reaches a certain level. They can also practice anti-aging techniques to keep their appearance at their favorite age.
Therefore, the Fifth Elder, who is almost fifty years old and is considered half an old man in the streets, now looks like he is in his early thirties, with long eyebrows, bright eyes, fair skin, and a scholarly air all over his body. He looks gentle and elegant.
At this time, the Fifth Elder's face was still a little pale - after all, it was true that he had been sleepless for several days and nights, and it was also true that he was injured on the city wall yesterday.
But although he looked pale, he was in good spirits and could not suppress the joy in his eyes.
