As the young master of Qinglu Sword Sect, Song Tang quickly got the news about the evil cultivator.
"Ye City is well guarded, and most buildings have protective formations that can detect demonic auras, and are directly connected to the City Lord's Mansion. But during the Flower Folding Meeting, the residences of the disciples of various sects were not there. The people in the City Lord's Mansion thought that it might be that the demonic cultivators were hiding their whereabouts and hiding in these places."
After negotiating with the worshippers of the City Lord's Mansion, Song Tang notified the disciples in the sect to cooperate with the Black Armor Guards' inspections, and also explained the situation to Luo Mingchuan and the other two.
"My faction is the host. Now that something like this has happened in the city, it is our duty."
Luo Mingchuan frowned and said, "How can I help? Just tell me."
The reappearance of the demon cultivator is a big event not only for Yecheng, but also for the entire Nanlu.
Song Tang said seriously, "Thank you."
Luo Mingchuan is Cangya's first disciple, and now he is in the middle stage of Hinayana. No matter his status or cultivation level, he is very convincing. If he can join the patrol team in the city, it can stabilize the situation and provide more protection for the safety of the people in the city.
Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan wanted to help, but they thought their skills were not good enough, so they decided not to cause trouble. So they brought the black armor guards to the Qiu Lake and took the initiative to accept inspection.
The team leader took a piece of talisman paper to test the demonic aura and thanked them politely as he left.
After breaking through the barrier, the five senses of the cultivators became more acute, and the two could hear their whispered conversations as they walked by the Autumn Lake. "I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time."
"Yes, they are both big sects, but the difference in their styles is huge!"
Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan listened for a while but still didn't understand. It seemed like... they were praised for no apparent reason.
They didn't know that the city guards first went to the courtyard next to the Xinshui Bridge.
As soon as I made my purpose clear, the disciple who opened the door became anxious.
"My sect is a great sect, and you actually suspect us of harboring evil cultivators!"
The team leader said innocently, "No."
The Baopu Sect disciple pressed the issue, "Then what rights do you have to investigate us? You are clearly suspecting us! This is too much!"
The team leader didn't know how to explain, "This... will be checked everywhere."
"Nonsense! What is your purpose?!"
“…”
Unable to communicate.
Finally, a Yecheng priest stepped forward and solved the problem.
Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan came to the city center, wanting to see if they could find any clues.
Compared to the usual crowds of people, the streets were much emptier at this time. But there was no widespread panic, and the shops and restaurants on the main street were still open to welcome customers. The black-armored guards shuttled through the streets and alleys in neat uniforms, their eyes as sharp as swords.
After walking around the street, the chatterbox took his senior brother to the teahouse. Today, there were only a handful of guests at the Taihe Building. It was not as noisy and crowded as before, but seemed particularly quiet and elegant.
The window seat has a wide view, and the whole long street can be seen at a glance. Hualao ordered a pot of Biluochun, a plate of Yulu lotus cake, and a plate of lotus cake.
He had been in seclusion for a few days and felt like he hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time.
There is an urgent need to speak now.
Chatterbox raised his teacup and took a sip, then sighed, "Fourth Senior Brother, I never thought that a demon cultivator would come to Nanlu."
Yin Biyue frowned and said, "The magic has been declining for a long time. If this is a sign of revival, chaos is coming. Although the East Continent is separated from the other continents by the sea, it is not difficult to cross the sea."
He still remembered that his second sister had participated in the battle to eliminate demons in Xiling Mountain. That battle was very brutal.
"It's rare for a demon cultivator to have time to come to the South Continent. The Twelve Palaces of the Demonic Path were originally in the East Continent, and I can't finish fighting them every day, so how can I bother to cause trouble for the other four continents?"
Yin Bi understood that the chatterbox knew a lot of secrets or gossip, "They are both demon cultivators, so they have a lot of differences?"
"Quite a lot! During the 'Great War of Dao and Demon', the Demon Lord died under the sword of Linyuan, and then there was a calamity of chaos and the 'End of Dharma Era' arrived. The twelve guardians under the Demon Lord were not convinced by each other, and eventually they each set up their own sects, splitting into the Twelve Palaces. They all thought that they were the orthodox of the Demon Dao and the heirs of the Demon Lord. They fought and plundered each other in the East Continent, and the civil strife continued, so naturally they could not achieve anything."
Duan Chongxuan ate a piece of lotus cake and changed the subject.
"But it's funny, they all believe one thing."
"What's up?"
"The Demon Lord is not dead."
He continued, "This is truly the power of faith. The Demon Lord has lived for a million years. Not to mention practitioners, even strange beasts don't have such a long lifespan."
The Demon Lord is not dead. This is a popular joke among the people in the market.
Yin Biyue suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The strongest person in the world today is the Sword Saint, a Saint. There is no "True Immortal" in the "Age of Saints". If the Demon Lord is really not dead, who can compete with him?
The dean called this era "The Stars". Does it also include the magic cultivators in East Continent?
But as he looked at the chatterbox's laughing expression, he thought that perhaps he was overthinking it.
The chatterbox looked at the street view outside the window and suddenly stopped talking, as if he had seen something interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.
Yin Biyue followed his gaze and looked down, and saw a group of people on the street. The leader was wearing a green Bagua Taoist robe and was in the Concentration Realm. Behind him were five or six people in the Barrier Breaking Realm, and even a guard in the Hinayana Realm.
This group of people showed no signs of restraining their imposing manner as they walked in the middle of the street. Ordinary people could not approach them and they all retreated away.
Right now the city guards are busy investigating the matter of the demon cultivators, and since they haven't done anything substantial to disrupt public order or violate city laws, no one really cares for the time being.
The chatterbox joked, "Oh, look at how majestic he is. Wow, he is indeed worthy of being called the 'Little Overlord of Hengduan Mountains'."
Yin Biyue then recognized that the leader was Li Lin from Baopu Sect, who was thrown off the stage by the chatterbox with a burning talisman at the flower-folding meeting. He seemed to have a very distinguished background, being the only son of Li Changhong, an elder in the Mahayana realm. No wonder he had so many strong guards.
Although they couldn't stand it, this person had no hatred against them, and now in Yecheng, Yin Biyue didn't pay any attention to the other party.
However, the chatterbox's gaze was not concealed at all and had been noticed by the Hinayana guard. Li Lin followed the other person's gaze and saw the two people by the window. His expression changed immediately.
The group changed direction and followed Li Lin to the teahouse in a hurry.
The guests at the other tables saw that the visitor had bad intentions, and as it was a tense time when the demon cultivators were roaming around, no one wanted to watch the fun, and they all hurriedly paid their money and left without looking back.
The entire second floor was completely empty.
When Li Lin came over with his guards, Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan had already stood up.
They were three feet apart and neither side showed any intention of greeting each other.
Yin Biyue subconsciously took two steps forward and stood in front of Duan Chongxuan.
This was a kind of self-awareness, because he was his senior brother and Duan Chongxuan was his junior brother. No matter how many people there were on the other side, whether they were in the Hinayana realm or the Mahayana realm, even if a sub-sage came, he would stand in front of the chatterbox.
But the other party was obviously not coming for him.
Li Lin chuckled disdainfully, "What's the matter? Aren't you very impressive on the stage? How dare you hide behind others now? Where's your burning talisman? Have you used it up?"
Yin Bi understood more.
The other party is here to slap you in the face.
These guards obviously arrived in Yecheng later, and they might have been called by the other party in a letter. However, since Hua Lao had been practicing diligently, he had been going to teahouses and gambling houses less often, so he had never had the chance to meet them.
Who knew I would run into it today.
Duan Chongxuan came out, his face showed no anger, nor did he refute. He just asked seriously, "What do you want?"
He wasn't enduring it, but he really wasn't that angry.
Because he had already broken through the barrier, while the other party was still in the concentration stage and had not made any progress at all.
They were no longer on the same level, and he would not engage in meaningless verbal disputes with the other party, just like a lion would not turn back because of a dog's barking.
Li Lin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he didn't play by the rules.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the stairs, and a team of black-armored guards also arrived. The leading captain bowed to both sides and asked, "What's going on? You can't fight here."
It turned out that the teahouse owner saw that the situation was not good and notified the city guards.
Li Lin suddenly laughed and said to Duan Chongxuan, "You know what? The city law prohibits using weapons in the city. You can't hit me here. Otherwise, you'll be making an enemy of the City Lord's Mansion."
His smile was full of provocation, "So, I'll fuck you!"
Duan Chongxuan was still not angry, and even had time to think with relief that the Baopu Sect disciple could actually read the city law. So he could read.
The team leader was also stunned.
After thinking about it, the city law did not say that outsiders could not curse each other. They were in a dilemma for a moment. Although it was obviously one party who was looking for trouble, they still had to follow the law.
Li Lin's voice was very loud, and the more he cursed, the more nasty it became. He cursed Duan Chongxuan's entire family with obscene and vicious words.
Yin Biyue's face changed, and his hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword. He saw a smile in Li Lin's eyes.
But Duan Chongxuan pulled him back to sit down and drink tea.
Then he heard the chatterbox's voice transmission, "His purpose is to provoke us to take action. As long as we take action first, the Hinayana guard behind him will immediately take action. But according to the city law, he is defending himself, and the city guards may have to help them... This is a loophole in the law. We can get through it if we are shameless."
Yin Biyue glanced at the Hinayana practitioner and found that his aura was indeed stimulated to the extreme and he was ready to attack at any time.
But he didn't think he was powerless to fight.
Moreover, he felt that this kind of slap in the face was stupid, incredibly stupid.
But on second thought, this stupid slap in the face might be backed by someone who wanted to test whether the Sword Master was still alive and whether he would care about his disciples. Li Lin was just a cannon fodder.
At this time, Chatterbox laughed, "But we won't do anything, we'll suffocate him to death!"
The chatterbox held up his teacup and smiled, appearing nonchalant.
Li Lin, who was cursing, became so angry that his face turned red. He gathered his strength and continued to curse.
Halfway through the teapot, someone from the Black Armored Guards couldn't stand it anymore and muttered in dialect, "This guy's mouth is too poisonous..."
"This damn Cangyashan has such a good temper. I would have given up on this a long time ago..."
Just when everyone thought that Li Lin would go back after getting tired of scolding, Duan Chongxuan stood up.
Because the other party's last curse was "I fuck your dad".
He asked seriously, "Do you know who my father is?"
