"The south gate of the city has been lost."
Early in the morning of that day, the sun did not shine into the ancestral hall of Dawang Village.
A peregrine falcon formed by the breeze landed on the altar, and when it opened its mouth it spoke Feng Zhi's voice.
Li Mo, with a head full of white hair, lit a stick of incense for his ancestors and remained silent as he looked at the dim flame swaying in the wind.
After a while, he finally asked:
"Where are the warriors from the Celestial Clan and the Underworld?"
"We have moved into the city within the city to preserve our strength. When Emperor Jiang has completely convinced the divine sword to recognize its master, we will retake the South Gate. But you won't see that day."
"Maybe not." Li Mo shook his head.
The voice in the breeze asked in confusion: "Sister is no longer in town. Even she has given up. Why do you stay here?"
She could feel that Ying Bing was no longer in Dawang Town.
Perhaps the interest that was aroused at that time has faded, and one feels that the life of a mortal is boring, so one leaves after experiencing life.
During the long years, it is inevitable that the people of the Celestial Clan will become restless and have thoughts arise and disappear.
It was as if she had just suddenly come to remind Li Mo.
"Thank you anyway."
Li Mo bowed to the light blue peregrine falcon.
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Feng Zhi said no more and her figure turned into a breeze and disappeared.
In the morning, the townspeople came to the ancestral hall one after another. They had no idea what had happened in the human city, but they were urgently summoned here, and some of them had a bad premonition.
In addition to the original villagers of Dawang Village, refugees from several surrounding villages and those who had settled here also arrived.
Those who entered the gate were all accomplished martial artists. The little kids who used to go fishing in the river with bare buttocks and catch birds from trees are now grandfathers.
Now they can stand on their own in the underground city. Among them, Dong Erniu has the best talent, so it is no problem for him to establish his own sect.
"Brother Li, why did you suddenly call everyone over here?"
Dong Erniu asked first.
"The south gate was broken." Li Mo said concisely.
The townspeople were in an uproar; some could not believe it, some sighed, and some were in a state of panic.
Everyone counted the days and found that only a few days were left in the fifty-year period.
This means that the South Gate fell almost in an instant.
And judging from Li Mo's tone, the Celestial Clan has no intention of retaking it in the short term.
It also means that Dawang Village will soon face a large number of demons that will come straight in and wreak havoc.
"Then what shall I do?"
"Haven't the warriors in the underground city expanded into several new cities between the underground city and the human city? Why don't we go there?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Li Mo shook his head.
"With our walking speed, we should be able to get there if we take the women, children, the elderly and the young with us..." said the honest Qi Tiezhu.
He is the descendant of the old village chief. His mother is the girl who once loved Li Mo. Li Mo taught him many blacksmithing skills.
Dong Erniu pondered for a moment and said:
"What Brother Li means is that we can outrun monsters, but we can't outrun other people."
"The human city is vast and has too many people. Too many people want to go there to make a living. Even if the underground city has expanded into several new cities, it can only accommodate a small number of people. Moreover, we have no value to them, so we will probably be turned away if we go there."
"Erniu is right."
"Have we not seen enough of the faces of the dungeon people?"
"If they really cared about the people, they wouldn't have retreated."
Many villagers have been to the underground city. After becoming successful in martial arts, many of them no longer want to farm and want to go to the underground city to make a name for themselves.
Many people come back.
The reason is very simple, just like those innocent and foolish college students who are trying their best to squeeze into big cities, but after they go there, they find that all their ambitions are in vain, and they are like a drop of water merging into the ocean, and being stuffed into the screw of a machine.
Those who are better than you work harder than you, and those who are not as good as you have better backgrounds than you.
I am like an oxen and horse in the fields, and I am still like an oxen and horse in the city. Then hasn’t my coming to the city been in vain?
At this time, after letting everyone's emotions ferment for a while, Li Mo raised his hand and let the ancestral hall quiet down.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. If you want to go to the underground city to make a living, I promise that no one will stop you."
"But those of us who stay here today must stick together, and no one can do anything that would harm everyone."
His voice sounded much older, but still as powerful as when he was young.
Some people bowed deeply towards the ancestral hall and decided to leave, but more people chose to stay where they were.
Dong Erniu took a deep breath.
Under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
However, he did not leave, but closed the door heavily, and then smiled:
"Brother Li, what do you think we should do?"
“Give up your illusions.”
Li Mo glanced at him unhappily and said:
"The people in heaven are high up in the clouds, and the people on earth are blinded by greed. We can't rely on them. We can only rely on ourselves!"
"After practicing pictographic martial arts for so many years, it's time to put it to use!"
"Everyone, go get ready!"
As the founder of pictographic martial arts, even no one knows how profound Li Mo's attainments are.
And it is well known that Mayor Li is a genius.
When they thought of this, they inexplicably gained confidence.
.....
"What does Li Mo want to do?"
"His pictographic martial arts is quite magical, but facing a demonic attack of this scale, I'm afraid it's powerless, right?"
"It's okay if it's a small group of demons, but this time there's someone behind the demons directing them. If we kill a few of them, it will attract a large group."
"Does he intend to confront it head-on?"
People outside who were looking at the map of the country and the people did not know Li Mo's intention.
