disfigured husband and wife

Qin Song's face was pale, as if struck by lightning.

The city lord looked up at the dust and smoke from the beast swarm in the distance, and said in a low voice: "The city residents have all gone to the tunnel. When the beast swarm comes, everything should be over."

Qin Song was trembling with anger, and said angrily, "What's the point of you doing this? It's impossible for the people of Yecheng to appreciate you!"

The city lord was silent for a while, and said: "I don't need their thanks, I just want to leave no guilt before I die."

Qin Song took a deep breath and was speechless.

But he didn't intend to say anything to the city lord, so he stood upright on the tower and began to form the formation.

Qin Song is a master of formations, but the energy and manpower required for a large formation to protect the city are far beyond what he can do alone.

Soon, he felt that the spiritual power in his body was absorbed by the formation continuously, and his complexion gradually turned pale, but he insisted on holding on without making a sound.

As long as the array is set up and resisted for a while, he can take the opportunity to take the city lord out of here.

And the city lord quietly watched Qin Song do all this, without any reaction.

The horde of beasts quickly rushed under the city gate, and they didn't give Qin Song a chance to breathe, so they crazily rushed towards the large formation that Qin Song had just set up to protect the city.

There was a loud bang, and Qin Song vomited a mouthful of blood, but he still stretched out his hand and pressed firmly on the formation, unwilling to stop.

Because he knew that once he stopped, two people would die.

The city lord not far away watched Qin Song's movements and expressions, and a little complex emotion appeared on his pale face.

He never thought that Qin Song would come.

He thought that Qin Song really planned to give up Yecheng.

Thinking of this, the city lord sighed slightly, walked slowly to the front of the formation, and opened a bloody mouth in the palm of his hand.

In an instant, the blood color spread, and the golden light soared.

At this moment, those demonic beasts that went forward were also violently bounced out by the skyrocketing golden light.

Seeing this scene, Qin Song was suffocated, and couldn't help saying: "You let go, I can do it alone!"

Instead, the city lord smiled faintly: "I am the city lord of Yecheng, why should I let go?"

Qin Song: "You!"

However, the city lord didn't bleed for too long, so he lowered his head and bandaged his palms, and then he reached out and pressed on the formation, infusing his true energy.

Seeing this, Qin Song's anxious heart finally calmed down. He originally thought that the city lord was determined to die.

However, even if it was just such infusion of true energy, the original pale face of the city lord became even paler, but he didn't seem to notice anything. After thinking for a while, he whispered to Qin Song: "Do you still remember when we went to the inland When you were studying?"

Qin Song's heart trembled, and then he said softly, "I remember."

The city lord smiled very lightly: "At that time, I will be a Danxiu, heal the disease and save people, and help the people of Yecheng to strengthen their bodies. You will be a formation mage and sword repairer. You can attack and defend. It will be impossible to torture Ye Cheng again."

Qin Song closed his eyes and said, "Yes."

The city lord said again: "Later, I came back from my studies and took the position of Yecheng city lord first. You have been very angry all the time. I want to apologize to you for this matter."

When Qin Song heard the words of the city lord, he really didn't know what it was like. He was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "The city lord is originally a place for the capable. ,I'm not angry."

In fact, he was still angry, but Qin Song was angry because the city lord quietly returned to Yecheng without telling him, and it was not because the city lord became the city lord alone.

Hearing Qin Song's explanation, the city lord couldn't help but smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I know you are still angry, but... At that time, I always felt that your character was a bit extreme, and I was afraid that your decision-making would be too arbitrary, which would cause everyone to be angry. objection, that's why I want to take this position."

"It's a pity... When you come back, you will become the owner of Yingfeng Village."

Qin Song's expression changed for a long time, and finally he smiled wryly: "This is also my mistake at the beginning."

Qin Song's position in Lingyun Sect was no different from Yuan Chen's now, and he could be regarded as the proud son of heaven, but later he was framed and murdered, and after seeing the world's conditions, his mentality changed and became much darker.

When he returned to Yecheng, he saw that the city lord was working so hard, but those Yecheng people still looked insensitive. They even tried to secretly send their own girls to others, so he built Yingfeng Village in a fit of anger.

He intends to use violence to counter violence.

But thinking about it now, his original approach was indeed too extreme.

But Qin Song didn't expect that after hearing his words, the city lord's expression was a little weird, and finally he smiled wryly: "Actually, now I think what you did at the beginning was right."

Qin Song was stunned.

"Using violence to control violence is a bit extreme, but at least it can be maintained. If it weren't for you, Yecheng would have ceased to exist by now. I... I'm still too naive and stupid to be a city lord."

Qin Song bit his lip violently, not knowing what to say for a while.

"But now I have thought of another way out."

Qin Song's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

"Only when Yecheng is destroyed can the people of Yecheng be accepted by the surrounding towns through official channels. This is a once-and-for-all solution."

Qin Song was startled suddenly, and suddenly had a terrible premonition.

But the city lord changed the subject at this moment, and said softly: "Qin Song."

Qin Song was startled slightly, subconsciously said: "What's wrong?"

"Do you remember... my name?"

For a moment, Qin Song's heart was beating like a drum, and then he heard the city lord say again slowly: "Can you call me again?"

"I want to hear you...call again."

A hot stream rushed into Qin Song's chest, his eyes were sour, and he almost wanted to cry, but at this moment, he forced a smile, and said softly in the direction of the city lord, "Xiao Linzi."

"Hey, I'm here."

Qin Song was enduring the soreness in his eyes, and wanted to pull out a smile, but saw the city lord showing him a trance smile, and then raised his hand and slashed out——

Qin Song's heart sank, he was defenseless, and all his true energy had been poured into the formation, so he didn't even have the strength to resist.

Therefore, he was thrown a few feet away by the city lord's palm.

When Ye Xian and the others rushed over, they saw this scene.

In the next second, the city lord did something that shocked everyone.

He suddenly raised his palm and pressed it hard on the formation with all his strength.

In an instant, a golden light shot out from the formation, the golden light was extremely dazzling, and with a loud bang, the entire animal horde was forced back almost half a foot away.

But when the smoke gradually dissipated, the golden light of the formation also faded like a tide, and suddenly dimmed.

When everyone looked at it again, the city lord had already had white hair, which was a sign of having lost all his cultivation.

Seeing this scene, Qin Song immediately shouted in a stern voice, "Don't—!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards the city lord in a scrambling manner.

But the city lord closed his eyes at this moment, and said lightly: "Stop him."

As soon as the city lord said this, Ye Xian and the others looked at each other. Ye Xian gritted his teeth and rushed forward, grabbed the city lord, and jumped into the air. Unable to maintain it, the other person held a sword to stop Qin Song who was rushing over.

The formation started up again, Xie Chen was barely able to support it, and Ye Xian also fell from the sky holding the white-haired city lord at this time.

At this time, Ye Xian reached out his hand to feel the pulse of the city lord, and found that there was nothing in his dantian, obviously he had exhausted his cultivation, and his breath was as weak as silk, and he had already begun to show signs of the five declines of heaven and man.

Ye Xian: ...

After Yuan Chen stopped the crazy Qin Song, he sealed his pulse door so that he couldn't move. Then he glanced at the ever-increasing beast tide, and frowned slightly.

"Using arrays to treat symptoms but not the root cause can only increase greater conflicts."

"But if we don't let them stop now, Ye Cheng will really die."

Yuan Chen was silent for a moment and said: "As for those people in Yecheng, I think it's okay to die."

Ye Xian: ...

At this time, Xie Chen suddenly said: "Stand away a bit, I have a method, maybe I can stop the monster beast, I want to try."

Ye Xian froze for a moment, and said, "What method?"

Xie Chen was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I'm not sure if it will succeed, I can only try."

Ye Xian:?

On the other hand, Yuan Chen's eyes moved, and finally he frowned and said, "Don't be generous with others. If something goes wrong with this kind of thing, I will be in bad luck."

Xie Chen's expression changed, and he finally said, "I will be careful."

Yuan Chen frowned, and was about to stop it, when Xie Chen suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes suddenly, and screamed to the sky.

A golden light flew out from Xie Chen's body, forming an image of a golden dragon in the air, but the golden dragon's limbs were slightly mutilated, and the dragon's might burst forth, but the pressure was not as strong as imagined.

And hearing this dragon chant, those monsters were startled first, then hesitantly stood where they were, hesitantly daring not to move forward.

Not enough, still not enough...

Xie Chen endured the pain of tearing his soul, and wanted to strengthen the power of the dragon's chant, but at this time, blood was gradually oozing from his mouth and nose.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xian was startled, and was about to rush over to tell Xie Chen not to be brave, but Yuan Chen, who was frowning, suddenly reached out and stopped Ye Xian, saying: "Get out of the way, I'll do it."

Ye Xian froze for a moment, then saw Yuan Chen stretch out his hand suddenly, and pressed hard on Xie Chen's vest.

The two strands of dragon souls in Xie Chen and Yuan Chen's bodies interacted with each other, and they immediately merged into one.

In just an instant, the damaged image of the golden dragon was suddenly completed and increased dozens of times. The golden light poured down everywhere, and the dragon's might suddenly descended like a thunderbolt.

After a roar, those monsters were all frightened and went limp, and immediately released their madness, turned around and ran deep into the dense forest.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the Dragon Soul was also put away all of a sudden.

But Yuan Chen and Xie Chen haven't opened their eyes yet.

Ye Xian probably guessed something, and couldn't help clenching his fingers, but he didn't dare to go forward, for fear of alarming something.

At this time, in Xie Chen's body, two dragon souls were fighting.

Xie Chen himself got a ray of dragon breath, and the dragon soul was naturally stronger than Yuan Chen's. He unconsciously began to devour the dragon soul that invaded Yuan Chen several times.

Yuan Chen couldn't help cursing angrily at this moment: "You little bitch who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, when I get out, I will definitely beat you to death!"

Xie Chen's soul didn't have too much consciousness, but continued to devour it silently relying on instinct.

In the end, Yuan Chen couldn't tear it apart, so he simply gritted his teeth, severing the connection between the two, and then crazily fled back into his body.

For a moment, both of them trembled and opened their eyes.

Yuan Chen involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, then his eyes widened with anger, and he rushed forward to fight Xie Chen, but Ye Xian, who had been staring at him, rushed over immediately and pulled the two away.

"You take advantage of others!" Yuan Chen said angrily.

Xie Chen slowly opened his eyes at this time, and realized what he had done just now, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, now he whispered: "Sorry, I didn't mean it either."

Yuan Chen was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and was about to scold Xie Chen angrily, when a low cry sounded not far away.

The eyes of the few people moved, and when they looked back, they saw that Qin Song had broken free from Yuan Chen's seal at some point, and was hugging the city lord's body, weeping uncontrollably.

When Ye Xian saw this scene, his heart throbbed, and he walked over silently.

Qin Song smiled miserably while crying: "It's over, it's over."

Ye Xian subconsciously asked: "What's the end?"

Qin Song closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Xiao Linzi originally planned to let the monsters destroy Yecheng, and then the people of Yecheng could be taken in by other towns in a fair manner. But now..."

Ye Xian was stunned.

So, are they kind of doing a disservice?

"But it's not your fault." Qin Song said softly again, "You are kind. At least, Yecheng can be safe for a while."

"Ah."

Yuan Chen, who had been silent all this time, sneered.

Ye Xian:? ? ?

Ye Xian was about to ask Yuan Chen what are you laughing at, then Yuan Chen walked up to the gate tower without saying a word, drew his sword, and slashed with all his might——

After the loud bang, smoke and dust filled the air, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the entire tower of Yecheng had collapsed, and a deep mark formed by a piercing sword intent was carved into the ground, causing the ground to stretch and crack to the ground. More than a dozen feet away, the entire main road in Yecheng was almost destroyed.

Yuan Chen lazily put away his sword.

Ye Xian: ...

Seeing this scene, Qin Song couldn't help being stunned.

And then, he heard Yuan Chen say: "Anyway, I have already been on the arrest warrant of Zhongzhou Mainland, and I don't care about adding a bad reputation. The people of Yecheng really should go to other places to accept a new environment and education, otherwise Trapped here, the ancestors have been muddy for generations."

After listening to Yuan Chen's words, Qin Song was in a daze for a long time, and then he smiled miserably: "You are right, Xiao Linzi and I have been thinking wrong all along."

"Instead of changing the environment, it's better to start over in another place. We didn't even think about such a simple truth at first."

At the end, Qin Song bowed his head and wept again.

Ye Xian, who was on the side, was silent for a moment, then whispered: "It is human nature to be nostalgic for the homeland, and there is nothing wrong with you, it's just that you never thought of letting the people of Yecheng leave their hometown in the first place. The power of a few people is limited after all. "

After thinking about it, Ye Xian took out some spiritual spring water and elixirs and handed them to Qin Song.

"After all, the city lord has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and he is still stronger than ordinary monks. It shouldn't be so soon... These are for you, I hope they can help you a little."

Qin Song silently took what Ye Xian handed over, thanked him, and then he picked up the unconscious city lord and stood up.

Ye Xian sighed, and was about to call Xie Chen and Yuan Chen to leave, but suddenly he frowned, and cast his eyes on the abandoned city tower in Yecheng not far away.

Those Yecheng people who were originally hidden in the underground secret passage by the city lord came out at some point, and now they stood quietly on the edge of the tower, looking at the city lord in Qin Song's arms with solemn and sad expressions.

A middle-aged man came out first, holding a bundle, and said to Qin Song: "Master Qin, these are some spirit stones I saved, take them to treat the city lord."

After the middle-aged man came out, other Yecheng people came out one after another, and they took out spirit stones, spirit grass and dry food.

When Qin Song looked at these Yecheng people whom he once thought were extremely vicious and gave up the last bit of food in their hands for the city lord, his eyes were a little red, and his mood was extremely complicated.

Did he see it wrong before?

But he was not mistaken before, and now...nor.

But he also finally realized one thing - people always don't know how to cherish until they lose it.

In the end, Qin Song didn't say anything, just took something symbolically from those Yecheng people, then hugged the unconscious city lord and left here without looking back.

And the Yecheng people stood in a row in such a dark manner, silently watching Qin Song and the city lord go away.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xian didn't know how he was feeling.

·

Three days later, the horse-drawn carriages from the surrounding towns to pick up the Yecheng people also arrived one after another.

Ye Xian watched as everyone in Yecheng got into the carriage and left happily or sadly, leaving only an empty city in the end.

The people in Yingfeng Village also dispersed, those women were also sent to other places, and the monks went to find their own way of life.

"Actually, before, it was the City Lord and Qin Song who were struggling." Ye Xian said.

Yuan Chen's eyes moved: "There are not so many people in this world who really value love and righteousness. Most ordinary people just want to live a better life for themselves. Whoever makes them live better, they will With whom."

Ye Xian nodded, but smiled helplessly: "I used to think that everyone would be united in this kind of thing, it seems that I was wrong."

Yuan Chen said indifferently: "It's not like everyone is born rich and wealthy like you."

Ye Xian: ...

On the contrary, Xie Chen stepped forward at this time: "You can only understand this kind of thing after experiencing it. Yuan Chen, you don't need to mock him."

Yuan Chen: "Hehe, I haven't settled the matter with you yet."

Xie Chen rarely showed a shy expression, and then he said seriously: "The previous time, although I didn't realize it, I did take advantage of someone's danger, and I apologize to you."

Yuan Chen sneered: "Who knows if you did it unintentionally or on purpose?"

"Do you know what is the most annoying thing about you?" Ye Xian couldn't bear it and opened his mouth.

"what?"

"It's cheap and good."
