The righteous female cultivator loves to act coquettishly, while the demon empress is very arrogant

As the number of mortals in this land increased, it developed from a village to a small town, and then from a small town to a city.

After years of development, it has reached its current scale.

The world of cultivation is also happy to see this happen.

Where there are many mortals, there will be fireworks. Even if alien species invade, these mortals will be the first to block the sword.

The monks can also rest and reorganize in Nankang City before setting foot on the battlefield of God's Fall. They can also stay here to heal their injuries after leaving the battlefield, which is very convenient.

Compared with the cold rules of survival in the world of cultivation, the world of mortals is obviously much warmer.

After all, monks are human beings too.

The two walked around the city and found that all the facilities were complete, including restaurants, inns, medical clinics, clothing stores, weapons stores, auction houses, escort agencies, etc.

There are monks stationed in all these places.

Ruan Dongling even saw a monk in the Nascent Soul stage in an inconspicuous small medical clinic, who seemed to be the doctor at the medical clinic.

There are crouching tigers, hidden dragons everywhere, and there are many masters.

The streets were busy with cars and people, and it was very lively.

After leaving the city, continuing forward, there is another small town called Wuming Town.

This small town is the last stop before leaving the border.

It was also a border town where monks and soldiers were stationed.

Inspections and interrogations in all aspects are also stricter.

When he stepped out of this small town, Ruan Dongling discovered that there was a very tight defense line here.

It stretches nearly two miles outside the town.

What surprised Ruan Dongling was that this line of defense was easy to get out but difficult to get in!

Although this seemed reasonable when he thought about it, after Ruan Dongling observed the defense line and the interrogation process of entering Wuming Town for a while, he felt that this strictness was a bit abnormal.

Ruan Dongling always felt that this line of defense was so strict that it not only prevented people from the Shuguang Continent from sneaking over on the Shenyun battlefield, but also isolated those real people from the Liuyang Continent from the outside.

Ruan Dongling and Ran Bing squatted on the edge of the defense line from morning to sunset. When they found anyone leaving, the guards just casually asked and checked before letting them go.

The guards were conscientious and they would seriously tell everyone who went out that as long as they went out, it would be difficult to come back and they would probably never come back, so they must think clearly before going out.

Most of the people who went out were ordinary people who wanted to go to the Kirigakure Forest to make a living.

Moreover, the end of the year is coming soon, and the New Year is about to be celebrated in the mortal world. People are thinking of getting more supplies before the New Year is over to celebrate the New Year.

Because there are rich products in the Kirigakure Forest, there are many valuable spiritual plants and animals. Whether you are collecting medicine or hunting, you will get a lot of harvest.

"Master, it seems there was no such rule before, right?"

An old farmer with a woodcutter on his waist and a large backpack on his back asked cautiously.

The old farmer's dark face was full of deep wrinkles, and his face was full of confusion and doubt.

The officers and soldiers on guard were also mortals. They looked very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old. They were ordinary soldiers. I guess they had just become guards, so they were quite kind.

He frowned and replied, "This rule was only issued by the superiors today."

The old farmer pursed his lips twice and said with some difficulty, "Then... can the folks who went out a few days ago come back?"

The officers and soldiers shook their heads, with an unbearable look in their eyes, "I can't do it anymore..."

Hearing what the officers and soldiers said, many people who were queuing up to go out were a little panicked. Many of them had relatives who had gone to the dense forest together in the past few days.

If I can't come back, what should I do?

"How...how could this happen?" The old farmer's eyes widened in disbelief.

Everyone was in a state of confusion. They didn't know why such a rule suddenly appeared.

"This... why is this, sir!"

"Before, the livelihood of everyone in the villages around our nameless town was obtained from the dense forest. Why are they suddenly not allowed back?"

Facing everyone's questions, the young officer and soldier wanted to explain something, but a weathered-faced veteran next to him pulled him sharply, with a look of warning on his face.

"Don't talk too much!" The veteran scolded the new recruits sternly, and then said to the people waiting in line,

"That's the rule! This is the rule of the court, we are just following orders!

"If you leave the city, you will not be able to come back!"

"I, Zhang, would like to advise you all, if it is not absolutely necessary, please do not leave the city!"

After speaking, the veteran cupped his fists and raised his hands to the people queuing up, and then took the recruits back to their posts.

From then on, they all had serious faces and no longer said much. They only saw the identity certificates and road signs of the people in the city, and they did not stop those who insisted on leaving the city.

After this incident, some people gave up the idea of ​​leaving the city and returned to the nameless town.

After the veteran named Zhang changed posts with the new soldier, the new soldier followed the veteran somewhat dejectedly.

"Brother Zhang..." The recruit finally couldn't hold it back and took a step forward to call out to the veteran.

The veteran's face was calm and he turned to look at the recruit.

"Brother Zhang, why did the superiors suddenly issue such an order?"

"Isn't that what happened on the battlefield of God's Fall? That is the battlefield of gods! What does it have to do with us ordinary people?"

"The enemies of gods are naturally gods. How can we ordinary people have anything to do with gods?"

"Even if such a regulation is issued, at least there must be buffer preparation time. At the very least, it must be implemented before the people who have left the city come back!"

"Why, why do we have to execute it today? This order was issued just this morning. Do we really want the people who left the city to die outside the city a few days ago?"

The recruits were full of anger and did not understand.

He had just entered the military camp, and he still had precious innocence and simplicity.

The veteran sighed slightly, his weathered face full of seriousness, "You and I are just the most ordinary soldiers guarding the city, nothing can be changed."

"For those immortals, the lives of us mortals are like ants on the roadside. They can destroy the city with a wave of their hands. When have the immortals ever cared about the lives of us mortals?"

"For them, wherever we mortals have the slightest chance of threatening them, they will never make it easy for us."

"I would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one person go!"

"But what threat can us mortals pose to the immortals?" The recruit was surprised.

The veteran looked around, then leaned into the recruit's ear and lowered his voice and said,

"It is said that a very strange thing has appeared on the battlefield recently, and it can possess mortals and sneak in..."

"That's why the superiors gave such an order!"
