disfigured husband and wife

The innkeeper said indifferently at this moment: "Anyway, the person was sent to Yingfeng Village. If he asks, just say that Yingfeng Village robbed him and let him find it himself. Finally, a cultivated Shuang'er came, no It would be a big loss to send it over!"

The two smiled and said, "Sure enough, the boss is the best."

Hearing the innkeeper's words in bed, Ye Xian almost rolled his eyes - who is this?

But he didn't make a sound, and let the innkeeper and others carry him downstairs.

The innkeeper went downstairs without following him, so he asked the two men to stuff Ye Xian into a carriage, and the two men drove the carriage with Ye Xian overnight, preparing to go out of the city.

As a result, the carriage drove to a normal speed, and suddenly stopped suddenly.

Ye Xian froze for a moment, then heard a slightly hoarse and cold voice saying: "Stop the car."

The two drivers who were still in a daze were startled when they heard the sound, and they stopped the carriage like chaff.

Ye Xian couldn't help showing a somewhat curious expression, thinking this person is from Yingfeng Village?Or the monks who guarded the city of Yecheng?

But in the next second, the words of those two guys resolved Ye Xian's doubts.

The two of them got out of the car while shaking and knelt down and said, "City Master, please forgive me. We are just following the boss's order. We really didn't intend to harm anyone."

City Lord?

Ye Xian was a little curious.

Then, he heard the hoarse and cold voice say: "Go down and tell your boss, if there is another time, I will directly seal his inn."

The two guys kowtowed a few times as if they were being pardoned, then turned around and slipped away.

Ye Xian's heart moved, he lifted the quilt and sat up, and at this moment, the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted.

As the moonlight fell, Ye Xian saw an extremely pale and fragile handsome face, dressed in white clothes fluttering gently in the night wind, as if the person in front of him would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

Eyes met, Ye Xian was startled, and the city lord couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Are you okay?"

Ye Xian pondered for two seconds, took the initiative to lift the quilt and sat up and said, "Yes, I'm fine, I just want to see what tricks they plan to play."

City Lord: ...

Afterwards, the city lord said: "Your cultivation can't offend those people in Yingfeng Village, don't put yourself in danger."

Ye Xian smiled, did not deny it, and said: "But you are a city lord, and you are really dedicated to patrolling like this at night."

The city lord said indifferently: "The responsibility lies."

Ye Xian's eyes moved, and just as he was about to say something, the city lord said: "It's not safe outside, come with me."

After finishing speaking, the city lord turned around, flicked his sleeves, and flew away.

Ye Xian was stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of the carriage, and chased after him.

He felt that the city lord was not a bad person, but he could come and go.

The city lord took Ye Xian all the way to his mansion.

Even though the city lord's mansion is so big, Ye Xian didn't see many people, not even patrolling guards, only a few old or young servants.

The furnishing of the mansion is also very simple, looking very poor.

Ye Xian looked around, and felt that the city lord was not easy.

The city lord brought Ye Xian to the stone table of an osmanthus tree in the backyard of the mansion, and said, "Please sit down."

Ye Xian sat down.

The city lord glanced at Ye Xian and said: "Our Yecheng is notoriously dangerous, you are a foreign monk, how did you come here?"

Ye Xian was speechless, and soon, he smiled, made up a story about hunting monsters and went far away, and told the city lord, and then took out a few pieces of monster skins to show the city lord.

When the city lord saw the monster skin in Ye Xian's hand, he was silent for a moment, and said, "It's really young and vigorous."

Ye Xian scratched his head.

When the city lord saw Ye Xian, he seemed to think that Ye Xian was too careless, so he said solemnly: "It seems that you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter. After entering Ye City, it will be even more difficult to get out. If you have a sect, you can send a message back to ask for help, but... if they hear that it is here, no one will come here."

Ye Xian frowned: "It's not that there are no Void-refining powerhouses in Zhongzhou Continent, why is no one dealing with Yingfeng Village?"

The city lord shook his head, and said: "These are two late Nascent Souls, plus five mid-stage Nascent Souls and a group of Golden Cores, how many experts are needed to kill them all? What's more, those two late Nascent Souls are traitors from the big sect. There are a lot of unique secret skills, plus the terrain of Yingfengzhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is meaningless to come to refine the void, ordinary sects and organizations will not be willing to pay such a high price to help a small run-down town."

Speaking of this, the city lord closed his eyes again, and said wearily: "And the hearts of the people in this dilapidated small city have long been broken."

"how do I say this?"

The city lord quietly looked at the dark green leaves on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and said, "The people of Yecheng actually don't hate Yingfeng Village as much as you imagine."

Ye Xian was slightly shocked: "What?"

The city lord showed a wry smile and said: "Although Yingfeng Village will select people to go to Shuangxiu, they only choose women and Shuang'er. The status of these two is very low in the eyes of the common people. Most Yecheng people don't feel so empathetic. And... ...Every time Yingfengzhai snatched the woman and Shuang'er, he would leave something like pills or monster meat for that family, and would give them casual rewards in the city. So...many Yecheng people even I hope that Yingfeng Village will come more times, because this place is really poor."

Ye Xian: ...

He didn't even know what to say for a while.

"The most important thing is that in the end, there are almost no girls and twins in Yecheng. The newborns are too young, and the people in Yingfengzhai don't like them. So many people in Yecheng are not so afraid of Yingfengzhai later, and even Some will even deceive foreigners who have entered here by mistake, and send them to Yingfeng Village as a furnace to get rewards."

Ye Xian: ...

No wonder the boss finally said that it would be a big loss if he didn't send him there.

Looking at it this way, it's really a big loss.

No wonder the city lord seemed to have some cultivation, but he couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening—this is an inner ghost, he couldn't let the city lord kill his own people, right?

And in the situation that the city lord is talking about now, if he really killed someone, the people of Yecheng might rise up to resist him.

Really...

It's hard to say.

Ye Xian had never encountered such a muddy situation, and only then did he understand what Ao Chen said back then—never save a person rashly without knowing the truth, because you don't know the truth at all. Knowing whether he is in the mud or if he is the mud itself.

At that time, Ye Xian had mocked Ao Chen for his sour and selfish words, but now he really understands it.

Aren't Yecheng people just such mud?

Thinking of this, Ye Xian felt more and more sympathetic to the city lord, and now he couldn't help asking: "Then they are all like this, and you still want to stay here? Don't you worry that if one day they revolt, you will be finished?"

The city lord was silent for a long time, and said: "Yecheng is my hometown, and they elected me as the city lord back then, I can't bear it."

Ye Xian stopped talking.

What should he say?

The city lord glanced at Ye Xian at this time, and said: "I will try my best to send you to the dead wood forest in the south tomorrow, where there are few monsters and beasts, you may be able to leave if you go around."

Ye Xian hesitated for a moment, thinking whether to tell the city lord about Yuan Chen, the city lord's face suddenly changed slightly, and then he whispered: "Sorry, I will avoid it for a while."

After speaking, the city lord hurried into the side room.

Ye Xian was stunned.

But after a while, he knew why.

Because in the room where the city lord was, there were bursts of suppressed pain.

It was like a sudden illness.

Thinking of what he heard before, Ye Xian became more sympathetic to the city lord.

But Ye Xian didn't rush to knock on the door at this moment, just sat in front of the stone table and waited quietly. After about an hour, the door of the room creaked, and the city lord came out from inside.

The city lord of this meeting is paler and uglier than when Ye Xian saw it just now, his eyes are slightly bloodshot, and he even looks a little creepy.

When Ye Xian saw this, his heart twitched slightly, and he subconsciously went up to him.

When the city lord saw Ye Xian approaching, his expression was still a little dazed, and after a while he reluctantly said: "I'm sorry."

Ye Xian hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of Buzhong Yiqi Pill with Lingquan added and handed it over: "This is for Qi, you can take a Buzhong Yiqi Pill."

When the city lord saw it, he didn't refuse, and took the bottle directly from Ye Xian's hand, took a pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Ye Xian was silent for a while and said, "You will eat it if I give it to you? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

The city lord heard the words, but instead smiled and said: "I look like this, what good does it do for you to harm me? Will you be the new city lord of Yecheng?"

Ye Xian was dumbfounded.

Seems to make sense.

At this time, the city lord adjusted his breath, and suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression, then he looked at Ye Xian with some hesitation and said, "Are you a disciple of the great sect?"

Ye Xian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't deny it, but he didn't report himself, so he hummed.

The city lord was silent for a moment, and said: "Your pill is very good, even better than the pill from Shendingmen that I have eaten before."

Ye Xian couldn't help but twitched the muscles on his face when he heard the words "Shendingmen".

The city lord didn't notice this, he just squeezed the pill bottle in his hand, stared and thought for a while, and then he said slowly: "Although I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to say that, but... fellow daoist, can you ask your sect for help?" Ask for help, maybe it can help Ye Cheng."

Ye Xian: ...

After two seconds, Ye Xian scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I don't have a high status in the door, I'm afraid I can't."

The city lord actually expected this answer. After all, he saw that Ye Xiancai's golden core cultivation was probably at the level of ordinary disciples in the general sect, so he looked a little sad and said: "I took the liberty."

Ye Xian felt a little guilty: "Hey..."

After struggling for a while, Ye Xian still didn't immediately tell the city lord about Yuan Chen's visit to Yingfeng Village.

He still decided to wait for Yuanchen to come back after finding out the bottom line before considering whether to speak to the city lord.

In the middle of the night, the city lord asked his servants to clean up a room for Ye Xian to sleep in.

Ye Xian didn't refuse, and went to sleep, but just as he put the quilt on his side, he heard a sound of panic coming from outside.

"The city lord is bad! Someone has attacked Yingfeng Village, it seems that the mountain has been set on fire, and half of the sky is burning red!"

When Ye Xian heard this voice, he immediately thought of Yuan Chen, got up quickly, and rushed out.

When Ye Xian rushed out of the room, the city lord was already standing in the yard, explaining something to the servants with a serious face.

When the city lord saw Ye Xian coming out, he guessed that Ye Xian had heard the servants' shouts, so he immediately said, "Friend Daoist, I—"

"I'll go with you!" Ye Xian interrupted the city lord before he could speak.

City Lord: ...

Seeing the expression of the city lord, Ye Xian knew that this matter could not be concealed, he sighed slightly, and told the city lord about Yuan Chen's going to Yingfeng Village.

The mayor was silent.

In the end, the city owner said: "Then you go and see with me, and if something really happens, you can take your friends and leave first."

Ye Xian was slightly startled, and immediately wanted to say that it was impossible, but seeing the righteous look on the city lord's face, he swallowed the words again.

It's time to play by ear.

I just hope Yuan Chen doesn't go crazy too hard.

The city lord took Ye Xian and flew out. When Ye Xian arrived at the foot of the mountain in Yingfeng Village, he saw that half of the sky was completely burned.Can't help being a little startled.

The city lord's face was even more solemn, and now he said to Ye Xian: "Your cultivation base should be enough to escape, don't come forward later, if there is a fight, you should run away immediately, saving your life is the most important thing."

Ye Xian nodded, but remained silent.

After the city lord finished speaking, he speeded up and rushed towards the mountain.

·

But at this time, on Yanwuping in Yingfeng Village, surrounded by people dressed in white, it was Yuan Chen who held a sword and had a cold face.

The flames shone on Yuan Chen's expressionless face, making everyone startled.

There was still blood dripping from the tip of Yuan Chen's sword. Before that, he had abolished the thirteen Golden Core cultivators in Yingfeng Village.

This time he was surrounded by five Nascent Souls and a group of Golden Cores, but he never saw the two leaders of Yingfeng Village.

Those five Nascent Souls actually felt the piercing sword intent on Yuan Chen's body, and none of them wanted to be the first bird.

Among them, Yuan Ying, who had a higher level of cultivation, frowned at this moment and said: "Fellow Daoist, we really didn't arrest your friend. If you don't believe me, you can search in our stockade. It's really hurtful to make such a big fuss as soon as you come up." Peaceful."

Yuan Chen gave that Nascent Soul cultivator a cold look, pointed his sword straight at his face, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let you come out in charge."

Cultivator Nascent Soul's expression changed, and he said, "Our manager is in retreat, and there is no need to bother him with such trivial matters."

"Retreat?" Yuan Chen's eyes turned colder, "It's about arresting people and practicing double cultivation."

Cultivator Nascent Soul sneered: "Since Fellow Daoists don't believe it, there's nothing we can do about it. Listen up, everyone, and set up—"

As soon as the monk Yuanying finished speaking, the other monks surrounding Yuan Chen dispersed one after another, forming an evil formation around Yuan Chen.

After finishing the formation, Yuan Chen glanced lightly, and said, "Golden Dragon Waving Tail Formation, what is your relationship with Tian Yanzong?"

The face of the leader Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly changed, and then he said with a gloomy expression: "It seems that he is a knowledgeable one, and now he can't stay."

After finishing speaking, he shouted angrily: "End the formation!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and a strong and powerful zhenqi flowed in the formation.

When Yuan Chen saw him, he was neither surprised nor angry, and just stood there quietly.

He wasn't worried about how Ye Xian's strength would be compared to those two Nascent Souls in the later stages, after all, Ye Xian had a fairy weapon on him.

But if the group of people below swarmed up, it would be really hard to say.

After all, the enemy is outnumbered, Ye Xian can crush one-on-one with a fairy weapon, but facing a group of people, it is really impossible to be so comprehensive. If you don't pay attention to being attacked by surprise, it will be a tragedy.

That's why Yuan Chen, after learning that Ye Xian was also sent to Yingfeng Village, immediately found him and set fire to them, in order to hold back this group of people and prevent them from reuniting with the two Nascent Souls until Ye Xian escaped. , he can withdraw.

It's just... Ye Xian doesn't know what he's doing, it's too slow!

While Yuan Chen was keeping his composure, the Golden Dragon Wagging Tail Formation had already been formed, and the zhenqi was like a huge hood, pressing down on Yuan Chen's head, completely cutting off Yuan Chen's spiritual energy communication with the outside world.

Yuan Chen was still motionless at this time.

At this moment, the five Nascent Soul cultivators showed cold eyes and rushed forward.

Yuan Chen turned his wrist silently, revealing the sharp edge of the sword.

Seeing that the five Nascent Soul cultivators were about to formally confront Yuan Chen, suddenly a strong zhenqi hit from the sky, and with a bang, it broke through the zhenqi shield above the formation.

"Be merciful."

It was the voice of the mayor.

All the monks in the formation were caught off guard by such a blow, and scattered a little bit at once.

The Nascent Soul cultivator at the head withdrew his sword abruptly, looking gloomy at the white robe that descended from the sky.

The city lord made a sudden move just now, and he used [-]% of his cultivation base. When he landed, his footsteps were still a little vain.

Fortunately, Ye Xian, who followed closely, gently supported him from behind.

Seeing the city lord's situation, the Nascent Soul cultivator in the head couldn't help showing contempt in his eyes, and said indifferently: "I advise the city lord to not meddle in his own business, this is the internal affairs of our Yingfeng village—"

Before the Nascent Soul cultivator finished speaking, suddenly a majestic burst of true energy burst out from the formation of the golden dragon wagging its tail, and with a bang, it knocked all the surrounding golden core cultivators to the ground.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the inner circle were caught off guard and almost fell for it.

Then, they watched Yuan Chen walk out of the golden dragon tail formation unscathed.

Nascent Soul Cultivator: ...

At this moment, Yuan Chen frowned slightly, and went straight out of the crowd, walked up to Ye Xian and said, "Why are you here?"

Ye Xian:? ? ?

"I still want to ask why you are here."

Yuanchen: ...

Crowd: ? ? ?

Immediately Yuan Chen said lightly: "Since you are fine, let's go."

The corner of Ye Xian's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to speak, the Nascent Soul cultivator said angrily, "You want to leave now? You just want to leave so lightly after hurting our dozen or so brothers?"

Yuan Chen turned his head and gave him a cold look: "You arrested those innocent women and Shuang'er Shuangxiu, death is not a pity, I just abolished them, good enough for them."

The Nascent Soul cultivator smiled sinisterly: "Really?"

Yuan Chen didn't bother to talk to him, and only said to Ye Xian, "Will you go?"
