"I didn't expect such a powerful beast to appear outside. It seems that since the revival of spiritual energy, the changes in the world have been faster than we expected."
The old doctor said with a serious look.
“Yes, and according to what the two uncles said just now.
Those two strange beasts are obviously very intelligent, and their wisdom is no less than that of ordinary people." Lu Qing said.
"I don't know how many such strange beasts have appeared in the world, and how many of them are good ones."
The old doctor said with some concern.
He also heard what the merchant had said earlier about the white wolf.
Driving the wolf pack to attack the city, it was obvious that the white wolf was not friendly to humans.
If these newly emerged intelligent beasts are hostile to humans.
Then the days of people all over the world will be difficult from now on.
"With the general trend like this, the power in the world is bound to change.
In the ancient era of cultivating immortals, our human race was not the only one in power, there were other ethnic groups as well.
So Master, this is the general trend, and we don’t need to worry too much.”
Lu Qing saw his master's worry and comforted him.
"Yes, I know." The old doctor nodded.
He has been reading the jade slips engraved by Lu Qing in the past two days.
He also knows a lot about many things in the ancient times of cultivating immortals.
We understand that with the revival of spiritual energy, the awakening of exotic beasts and the revival of various races are also the general trend and the will of heaven.
"The city gate is about to open!"
At this moment, someone shouted.
I saw someone waving a yellow flag above the city gate.
That was the signal that the city gate was about to open, and the people and caravans waiting outside took action and began to line up.
Lu Qing and his group were also pulling a horse-drawn carriage and lined up at the back of a caravan.
Just as the people outside had lined up, they heard a noise coming from the city gate.
The two huge city gates began to slowly move away from the sides.
"Sister Hu, you are ready to go home!"
Xiaoyan said to Hu Zezhi happily.
"Yeah." Hu Zezhi nodded slightly.
The expression on his face was somewhat complicated, both happy and nervous.
With a huge noise, the city gate was completely opened as everyone waited.
First, many merchants and pedestrians poured into the city, and then Lu Qing and other people who were waiting outside began to enter the city.
Of course, one had to pay an entrance fee to enter the city, so Magu took his purse and went forward to pay.
The person who collected the city fee was still the tall and mighty Wuhanzi from last time.
After the last experience, Magu did not try to be smart and put more money into his purse this time.
Honestly pay the silver according to the actual cost of the number of people entering the city.
The mighty man first accepted the money as usual and recorded it in the account.
But when he looked up at Magu again, he let out a light exclamation.
"I recognize you. It seems like last month. You just entered the customs, right?"
Ma Gu was stunned at first, then he smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Your Excellency has a good memory. Yes, we just entered the pass last month."
The mighty man looked up behind him, and when he saw Lu Qing, he was slightly stunned.
However, he quickly suppressed this strange look, his face returned to calm and he smiled.
"You're back pretty quickly, are you having a good time in Zhongzhou?"
"Thanks to you, the journey was smooth and I saw a lot of beautiful scenery, which really opened my eyes."
"That's good. Okay, the entrance fee is fine. You can go in."
Watching the backs of Lu Qing and others going into the city, the mighty man's smile gradually faded and became solemn.
He took out a scroll from the drawer under the table and opened it gently.
On the scroll, there was a picture of a young man holding a sword, full of vigor and vitality. His face was very similar to Lu Qing.
After seeing the person on the screen clearly, the mighty man couldn't help but gasp.
"If this is indeed the person, then didn't they send a message saying that this person just left the Holy City three days ago? How come he came back so quickly?"
Thinking of the city lord's instructions two days ago, the mighty man did not dare to neglect it.
He called his deputy and asked him to collect the city fee on his behalf.
He took the scroll and left in a hurry.
"Mr. Lu, did the city guard recognize you?"
Walking on the street, Hu Zezhi asked.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Lu Qing raised his eyebrows.
"I saw that the city guard's eyes changed significantly when he saw you. He seemed very surprised. He must know you."
Hu Zezhi said in an affirmative tone.
This time Lu Qing was really surprised. He didn't expect Hu Zezhi to be able to observe this.
He said indifferently: "Maybe, but it has nothing to do with us, so don't pay attention to it."
"oh."
Seeing Lu Qing and the old doctor, they all looked normal.
Hu Zezhi knew that they didn't take this matter to heart, so he felt relieved as well.
Lu Qing smiled.
He naturally noticed the abnormality of the mighty man, and the look in the other party's eyes clearly showed that he knew him.
However, as one of the checkpoints guarding Zhongzhou, Qinglong City must have a close relationship with the Holy City.
It’s not surprising if there are any special means of communication.
It is normal to know what he looks like.
After all, after the battle in the Holy City that day, information about him must have spread to all major sects and forces.
Anyway, Lu Qing doesn't mind as long as they don't bother him.
"Mr. Lu, where do you plan to stay tonight? I grew up in the city and am very familiar with the place. I can take you there." Hu Zezhi said.
"It's still very early, so we won't stay in the city. After we send you home, we will set off." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
Hu Zezhi was shocked and looked at Lu Qing at a loss.
In the morning, she did not hear Lu Qing and the others talking about this.
"Yes, we have been away from home for a long time this time. We don't know how things are going at home. We want to go back quickly..."
Hu Zezhi didn't fully hear what Lu Qing said next. He just felt his mind was in a mess and stood there stupidly.
"Miss Hu?"
Knowing that Lu Qing noticed something was wrong with her and called her gently a few times, Hu Zezhi finally came to her senses.
"Oh, it's okay, what's wrong?" Hu Zezhi said a little confused.
"Miss Hu, there are two forks in the road ahead. Which one should I take to get back to your home?"
"Uh... go to the left."
Hu Zezhi identified it in a panic before pointing out a direction.
In order to hide his inner confusion, he rushed forward.
Looking at Hu Zezhi's somewhat flustered steps, Lu Qing shook his head, didn't say much, and just followed behind.
As for the old doctor, he just smiled and said nothing about such childish sentiments.
Hu Zezhi's heart was in confusion, but this confusion began to slowly dissipate as he slowly approached his home.
What remains is the excitement and nervousness about going home.
Finally, when she saw that extremely familiar door, her emotions reached a peak.
Unable to bear it any longer, I ran forward.
The gate to the yard at home was open, and Hu Zezhi felt a little strange.
But at this moment, there was no time to think about these things, and he ran in excitedly.
He shouted, "Dad, I'm back..."
But the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Who are you?! Let my father go!"
Hu Zezhi's eyes showed surprise.
In the yard, a group of ferocious-looking men were standing, and her father, Hu Laosan, had blood on his chest.
He was stepped on the ground by a young man with gorgeous clothes and a feminine face, unable to move.
"Xiao Lian, you're back. Are you okay?"
The moment Hu Laosan saw Hu Zezhi, an expression of disbelief and surprise appeared in his eyes.
But soon, the surprise on his face turned into anxiety, and he shouted urgently: "Run quickly, these are evil people!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
When the young man saw Hu Zezhi, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Without him saying anything, two people flew out from behind him and grabbed Hu Zezhi.
"How dare you!"
Seeing his daughter about to fall into the clutches of the devil, Hu Laosan's eyes turned bloodshot and he struggled violently.
But he was already seriously injured, and the young man with a feminine face was much more powerful than him. He didn't even look at him, but just exerted a little force with his feet, and Hu Laosan spat out a mouthful of blood. His breath became weak, and he was no longer able to struggle.
The young man with a feminine face always kept his eyes on Hu Zezhi.
When he saw his servant was about to capture Hu Zezhi, he smiled.
But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
He saw his two servants who were very skilled and had reached the muscle and bone realm.
Just as it was about to touch Hu Zezhi's body, a long black stick came out from behind him and hit the chests of the two servants.
puff!
A powerful force burst out, and the two servants immediately vomited blood, flew backwards, fell to the ground, and knocked over a lot of debris in the yard.
By the time he stopped, he had already fainted.
"What?!"
This sudden change caught everyone in the yard off guard and shocked them greatly.
The young man with a feminine face narrowed his eyes and looked at the iron rod that emerged from behind Hu Zezhi.
No, to be more precise, it was the owner of the iron stick, Wei Zian.
"Who are you, sir? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Qi family?"
The young man with a feminine face looked at Wei Zian coldly with a gloomy tone.
However, Wei Zian ignored him and looked at Hu Zezhi, asking with concern: "Sister Hu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Hu Zezhi shook his head, looking anxious, "But my father was caught by them."
"How dare you ignore me?"
The young man with a feminine face saw Wei Zian talking to Hu Zezhi as if no one was around and didn't take him seriously at all, and his face became even colder.
He moved his fingers slightly, and the next moment, two figures flew out from behind him.
The two people who rushed out this time had much stronger aura than the previous two.
The powerful energy and blood force exploded, and even the air in the yard became a little hot.
They turned out to be two martial arts masters with extremely powerful qi and blood, who had already reached the realm of internal organs.
Facing the pounce of two martial arts masters, Wei Zian remained unafraid.
He didn't even move, just held the stick in both hands and watched the scene with a sarcastic expression.
"Is this kid going to die?"
Just when a strange thought came to the mind of the feminine-faced young man, the next moment, a surprising scene appeared.
I saw a figure standing next to Wei Zian at some point.
Then, the sword light flashed, and the two inner-fu realm guards he brought with him were cut by the sword light before they could react, and flew backwards.
Bang! Bang!
Wait until the two Inner Viscera Realm guards managed to steady themselves and land on the ground.
There were two knife scars on their chests, deep enough to see the bone.
Looking at the horrific scar on his chest, the two guards were horrified and felt a deep chill in their hearts.
The look he gave Magu was filled with fear.
If they hadn't been wearing armor, they would have been cut in half by the other side.
This swordsmanship master appeared out of nowhere, and his swordsmanship was so strange that not even they could block it at all.
"Who is your Excellency?"
This time, even the young man with the feminine face could no longer remain calm.
With one move, he severely injured two Inner Viscera guards in his mansion.
Ma Gu's strength is at least that of a powerful master who has reached the great perfection of the inner viscera realm.
Such a strong man can be considered a master even in the entire Qinglong City.
It was no longer something he could take lightly.
However, what made the feminine-looking young man pale was that Magu also did not answer his question.
Instead, he looked at Hu Lao San who was standing at his feet and said calmly, "Let him go."
“Good, very good!”
Faced with Magu's attitude, the feminine-looking young man laughed in anger.
He was the only one who ordered others around, and no one ever dared to speak to him in that tone.
In a rage, the feminine-faced young man didn't think twice and his blood surged under his feet, wanting to crush Hu Laosan's chest directly.
However, just when he was about to exert force with his feet, he felt nothing under his feet.
The next moment, an unbearable pain came over him, and he couldn't help but let out a wail and rolled to the ground.
It was at this moment that he saw that his calf had been broken and fell to the side.
"My feet, my feet!"
The young man with a feminine face looked at his broken leg in disbelief and screamed wildly.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
The servants and guards who were originally standing aside were also in chaos.
Some wanted to help the feminine-looking young man stop the bleeding, while others tried to hold him back to prevent him from getting hurt further.
"Kill them, kill them for me!"
Under the severe pain, coupled with a broken leg, the young man with the feminine face had completely lost his sanity.
He screamed at the top of his lungs.
However, after seeing Magu's swordsmanship, the remaining guards dared not step forward.
He just stood in front, hesitating and not daring to move.
Seeing this, the young man with a feminine face became even crazier.
"Come here right now. If you don't, I'll have my father kill your whole family!"
Upon hearing this, the guards and servants all changed their expressions.
He was no longer afraid. With gritted teeth and red eyes, he rushed towards Ma Gu and Wei Zian.
Even the two guards who were already seriously injured gritted their teeth, drew their weapons, and ran forward.
However, at this moment, an invisible pressure suddenly descended into the yard.
All the guards and servants were immediately suppressed on the spot and could not move at all.
Even the expression on his face was frozen and uncontrollable.
"Innate pressure?! Who in the Innate Realm dares to take action in the city!"
The moment this pressure appeared, a figure who was sitting cross-legged in a nearby luxurious house was suddenly startled.
