Yu Hongchen

His expression changed a few times, and he suddenly dodged onto the sandy ground, and grabbed Zhong Lian in his hand while no one was looking.

He made it up on the spur of the moment, and had never shown anything before. Not only were everyone in the demon clan stunned for a moment, but even Zhong Lian, who had become the target of capture, did not take precautions.

The expression of the demon army changed instantly, and all the demon generals shouted: "What are you doing?" "Let go of our son!"

Xie Liuchen was also stunned: "Senior Brother Shang..."

Shang Lixing captured Zhong Lian, and yelled at the demons: "If you still want to save your son's life, then retreat immediately and go back to Beilu!"

The demon generals shouted presumptuously, and were about to rush to the sandy ground. Xie Liuchen, Dan Wu, and Cui Mingruo reacted immediately and cooperated seamlessly. scattered.

They protected Shanglihang and kept retreating until they returned to the camp where the casual cultivators were located on the border. Zhong Lian, who was in the center, shook off the raindrops on his face with one hand, but smiled thoughtfully: "That's right, that's right. Make a decisive decision. It's unexpected. Sure enough, this That's the style of the owner of the merchant sect. I suffered a loss once back then, but I didn't expect this time...hahahaha..."

The four held Zhong Lian hostage, and all the demons would be wary of rats, not daring to do it easily, so that they could return safely. The scattered cultivators who were guarding in the camp saw that their sect master took the hostages of the demons, knowing that the situation would reverse at any time, they immediately surrounded them. Protect the four of Shang Lixing in the middle, forming a human wall like a copper wall and an iron wall.

The demon generals led thousands of demon soldiers to surround the people in Nanling. The scattered cultivators cheered up and responded with all their strength. The demon soldiers who broke into the encirclement were immediately repelled by the casual cultivators on the periphery. Those who entered the inner circle were quickly beaten out by Xie Liuchen and others.

There were no more than [-] casual cultivators guarding the border, and there were thousands of demon troops coming from afar. There was a huge difference in the number of people. On Shanglihang's side, there were so many masters. The two offset each other, and the strength of the two sides was equal, resulting in a stalemate.

The two sides retreated and fought, all the way through the mountains and forests, and gradually approached the inland. In less than half an hour, the magic army had dispersed into a group, and only the elite troops remained on the front line.At this time, Shang Lixing said: "Speak up, you don't want your thousand subordinates to die in Nanling."

Zhong Lian, who was caught by him, frowned.The Northland Demon Army has been supporting him for many years, but there are not many generals who can discipline the army for him, so that without his command, the Demon Army is a mess, which is really useless.

He took a deep breath and said, "Go back."

All the demon generals said: "Young master!"

Zhong Lian's face darkened: "I said go back!"

Several demon generals looked at each other, and finally ordered the demon army to retreat. Thousands of people dispersed, retreated to the border, boarded the giant ship, and sailed away from Nanling.

After the magic army dispersed, the tight formation of the scattered cultivators was able to disintegrate.They breathed a sigh of relief, and then listened to Shang Lixing's words: "Call the sects, the demons will tear up the peace agreement, and we must be ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

Everyone solemnly said: "Yes!"

This sudden visit by the demons, on the surface, they want to force Qiushuimen to hand over Cui Mingruo, but in fact they want to use this as an excuse to blatantly tear up the contract. Although he held Zhong Lian hostage in exchange for the temporary retreat of the demons, it was only a matter of expediency. According to the plan, the demons are bound to make a comeback.Shang Li ordered casual cultivators to spread the news of the demons' invasion, and ordered Zhong Lian to be taken away. After a while, he looked back and forth inside and outside the camp, only to realize that Xie Liuchen had gone somewhere.

Going around to the other side of the mountain, I saw Xie Liuchen surrounded by a group of casual cultivators on a slope.He walked over and saw a casual cultivator pulling Xie Liuchen's sleeve, looking him up and down: "Brother, are you really a descendant of the Demon King? Why didn't you tell us before?"

Xie Liuchen replied with a proud face: "Of course I am the Demon King, but I didn't know it before. I only found out about my life experience a while ago."

All the casual cultivators were amazed for a while: "I never thought that there would be a day when we brothers would be called brothers and sisters with the Demon King."

"No wonder when I saw little brother Xie back then, I thought he was extravagant, not an ordinary monk."

"Go, go, I was the one who rescued brother Xie from the small boat. In terms of relationship, I knew him before you, and in terms of love, I knew him better."

All the casual cultivators enthusiastically wooed Xie Liuchen, arguing back and forth.Xie Liuchen also knew that they were just joking and not really following others, so he patiently returned the words.

A casual cultivator shoved Xie Liuchen with a malicious expression on his face: "Brother Xie, tell me the truth, you and the sect master, hehe—" The following words were uttered in a low voice, and they could not be heard clearly.

Xie Liuchen replied with an unclear sentence: "What's the matter? I've already told you."

Shang Lixing was amused in his heart, and walked over slowly: "What are you talking about me?"

Several casual cultivators were startled: "The door, the door owner!"

Shang Lixing smiled and said: "It's okay, I just passed by, so don't be nervous. What are you talking about?"

Several people waved their hands one after another: "Don't dare." "Master, we have to go to work first." Smiling, he glanced at Xie Liuchen, and walked away.

Xie Liuchen said with a funny face: "You scared them all away!"

Shang Lixing watched everyone leave, then turned to look at him: "Sneaky, what are you talking about behind my back?"

Xie Liuchen said with a smile, "No. They just asked me, did you chase me, or did I chase you?"

Shang Lixing also smiled, and walked up the slope: "Then how did you tell them?"

Xie Liuchen looked unpredictable: "I won't tell you!"

Shang Lixing was full of smiles, seeing him enjoying himself, he suddenly stretched out a palm, put it under his eyes, and said, "Thank you, junior brother, can you show me your sword?"

"Oh." Xie Liuchen smiled unconsciously, took out the Xiuming Sword from the Sea of ​​Knowledge, and put it in his hand, "Here!"

Shang Lixing took the Xiuming sword in his hands, raised one side of the sword slightly, and stroked the outer edge of the sword with the other hand, and saw that the Xiuming sword was under the luck of his true energy. Sharp and cold light like blood red.

He pondered for a while, and said: "Last time in Central Continent, I saw that you couldn't use your sword intent, and thought it was because of the damage to the sword soul. Well, now it seems that it is not a problem with the sword, but a problem with people."

Xie Liuchen stopped smiling.

Shang Lixing took the sword back and returned it to him, and asked: "Junior Brother Xie, who ordered you to show mercy to Zhong Lian when you went out to battle just now?"

Xie Liuchen's sword hand trembled.He totally didn't expect Shang Lixing to be so sensitive, he kept his casual words in his heart, calmed down, and moved his lips: "Yes, it's an old friend."

"Oh, is that so?" Shang Lixing looked at him and said, "I know this old man?"

His tone was very kind, and he didn't show the slightest intention to ask the bottom line, but it made Xie Liuchen unable to resist. He suddenly felt hard to breathe: "I, I..."

Shang Lixing looked away from his face, all the way down to his trembling hand, Shang Lixing said in a more gentle tone: "Don't be nervous, think slowly, speak slowly."

"Junior Brother Xie." Seeing that Xie Liuchen kept his head down and said nothing, his eyes were soft and his voice was calm, like a tolerant and loving brother, "What are you hiding from me? Why didn't you tell me?"

Hearing this, Xie Liuchen raised his head and met his clear eyes. For a moment, he calmed down from his panic, shook his head and said, "I will tell you, but not now. At least, let me prepare myself mentally."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Xie Liuchen was afraid that if he stayed alone with him any longer, he would not be able to help revealing all the secrets hidden in his heart. He found a reason casually, and ran back to the tent in a panic. Facing the jokes between Danwu and Cui Mingruo, he was still in vain. with a face.

After a while, Shang Lixing also walked back to the camp, and the border casual cultivator reported to him: "Master, you have notified all the sects on Nanling about the demons' invasion of Nanling, and now we are waiting for them to send disciples to assist us." .”

Shang Lixing nodded: "Okay."

A casual cultivator pointed to Zhong Lian who was tied aside: "Master, how should we deal with him?"

Shang Lixing said: "Bring him back to Qiushui Gate."

The most important thing right now, apart from dealing with Fu Changning who has a mysterious background, is to contact the various sects in Nanling to resist the invasion of the demons together.The Mozu will send a large army to attack Nanling at any time, so it is better to hurry up and set up an opportunity to defend against the enemy.Shang Lixing looked at Dan Wu who was dozing off on the side of the tree: "I wonder if the Beastmaster can come back to Qiushuimen with us to discuss the important matter of controlling demons?"

Dan Wu jumped off the treetop, and patted off the leaves on his body indifferently: "Okay, I'll go back to Qiushuimen with you."

When they came, there were only two people, Shang Lixing and Xie Liuchen, but when they returned, they turned into five people. Not only did Cui Mingruo, who had been wandering abroad for 50 years, return again, but he also had more allies from the beast clan, mainly the beast king Danwu. Hostage of Zhong Lian, who is the leader of the demon clan, seems to have yielded a lot, but if the matter between Fu Changning and the demon clan is not resolved, Nanling will not be able to rest in peace for a day, with hidden worries looming on his back.

The four returned to Qiushui Gate with the captured Zhong Lian, causing a commotion in the gate.

The first thing that attracted the attention of casual cultivators in the door was Cui Mingruo who had disappeared for many years. Cui Mingruo left a letter and bid farewell quietly for many years. Bai Xuan worried for a long time.Bai Xuan asked where she was going with concern, but Cui Mingruo just mentioned it, saying that she was wandering around Silu, and didn't say anything else.Seeing that Bai Xuan's abdomen was slightly raised, it was obvious that she was pregnant. After saying happy, the two sisters went aside to talk about the baby.

When they left the front hall and were about to go to the medicine hut, they saw Xie Liuchen standing by the door in a daze, so they dragged him away by the way.

The second thing that surprised the casual cultivators in the door was the captured Zhong Lian.This person is currently the only head of the demon clan, but he went deep into Nanling, and was immediately caught by Shang Lixing. When the casual cultivators admired his courage, they felt that this person was too young or too arrogant.

A casual cultivator looked at him and said, "Isn't this the cute little doll from the Demon Race back then? Why does it get uglier as it grows?"
