Chapter 24

"Hurry up and go!"

The remaining two saw this, and were instantly scared out of their wits, running madly toward the distance.

Lou Qinghe only felt the blood surging, and as the spiritual energy recovered, two more fireballs flew out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two gigantic fireballs flew past, and the two figures also turned into ashes.

In the distance, several rogue cultivators from Shili Street saw this and were so shocked that their mouths couldn't close.

It was really too terrifying!

That cultivator wearing the rabbit mask was really too terrifying!

And Lou Qinghe hurriedly picked up all the Spirit Stones and magical artifacts on the ground and hurriedly disappeared from the spot.

He didn't go home, but ran toward the outskirts of the restricted area.

It seemed that it was much safer there than at home at this moment.

"Phew!"

Until the spiritual energy in his body was completely exhausted, Lou Qinghe sat on the ground and panted heavily.

Looking back, the Longmen Market was still filled with blood light.

A long time later, Lou Qinghe swallowed his saliva, and the tension in his heart was finally released.

In the seven years on Qingyun Street, this was the first time he had seen such a chaotic side, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators had made a move.

You have to know that there were not many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Huangshi City, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator had a lifespan of over two hundred years, enough to support a huge family.

"Too terrifying, this world is too terrifying."

Every time Lou Qinghe thought of the flying boat, his heart was full of panic.

A slight carelessness, and it would be death and disappearance, and his little life would be gone.

Time passed second by second, and Lou Qinghe held the magical artifacts and Spirit Stones, hiding in the distance and watching quietly.

Because at this moment, he didn't dare to clean up the magical artifacts and Spirit Stones in his hand at all.

By dusk, the sound of fighting in the distance seemed to gradually decrease, and Lou Qinghe then ran toward his home.

There was no one on the road, and the gates of every household were tightly closed.

There was still a scorched smell and a bloody smell in the air.

There were also many corpses lying horizontally and vertically, their deaths were very miserable, and the valuable property on their bodies was also looted.

Full of scars, messy and unbearable.

There were even a few alienated corpses, which made people feel even more terrified.

The entire shantytown was quiet to the extreme, as if you could hear a needle falling on the ground.

Lou Qinghe couldn't distinguish which household still had people, or how many people were hiding at home.

"Go home first."

Lou Qinghe hurriedly ran toward his home, and suddenly saw Pei Siyu's home, where the gate was open.

"Not good!"

The next moment, he rushed directly into Pei Siyu's home.

He saw that the home was in a mess, tables and chairs were overturned on the ground, and sundries were turned over everywhere, and the Spirit Rice and beast meat in the kitchen were all looted.

Only, he didn't find Pei Siyu's figure.

Boom!

In an instant, his entire brain was blank, and he stood blankly on the spot.

That weak, quiet woman.......

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

With such chaos outside now, even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator might not be able to protect himself, let alone a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator like her?

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

Lou Qinghe turned his head subconsciously.

He saw Pei Siyu standing behind him, and through the veil, he could still see her slightly open small mouth.

Lou Qinghe was pleasantly surprised and asked tremblingly: "Y-you, where did you go?"

Pei Siyu lowered her head and stuttered: "I... I was catching spirit fish, and when I heard the movement in the market, I hid in the water, and only dared to come out after it was quiet outside."

Lou Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, Pei Siyu was a rogue cultivator, she would naturally protect her life when encountering danger.

Pei Siyu looked around at the mess in the home and asked in a low voice: "Did something happen?"

Lou Qinghe took a deep breath and said: "The Zhou Family colluded with demons and was destroyed, maybe some evildoers broke the formation and broke into your home, and the Spirit Rice and valuable things were all looted."

"W-what!?"

Pei Siyu hurriedly walked toward the kitchen, only to see that the Spirit Rice in the rice jar was also clean.

For a bottom-tier rogue cultivator, that Spirit Rice was all the food she had recently.

Without Spirit Rice, how would she live next?

Pei Siyu's face turned pale, and her body trembled, almost unable to stand still.

Lou Qinghe stepped forward and gently patted Pei Siyu's back: "From tomorrow on, come to my house to wash clothes and cook."

"Ah!?"

Pei Siyu's pair of beautiful big eyes widened suddenly upon hearing Lou Qinghe's words.

"I'll provide the food!"

Lou Qinghe smiled and said: "Clean up the house first, and then repair the formation at night."

Saying that, he got up and began to tidy up.

Pei Siyu said at a loss: "N-no need, I'll do it myself."

Lou Qinghe lifted the stool and looked up: "You go to my house to cook first, I haven't eaten all day, I'm already hungry."

Pei Siyu pursed her lips and stood on the spot.

Lou Qinghe raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Hurry up, do you want to starve me to death!"

"I, I know."

Pei Siyu heard this and hurriedly walked toward Lou Qinghe's home.

The next day, Xu Ying of the Xu Family came to the Longmen Market and Shili Street.

Almost all the living rogue cultivators around came out.

Xu Ying looked around at the confused and haggard rogue cultivators and said loudly: "The Zhou Family colluded with the Baigu Sect, harmed fellow Daoists, acted against the heavens, and caused resentment among the people; now all the people of the Zhou Family have been executed, and from now on, this Longmen Market and Shili Street will be under the full jurisdiction of my Xu Family, all rules remain the same, no fighting or harming fellow Daoists in the market."

"I hope my Xu Family can create a stable and settled Longmen Market for everyone."

After the words fell, the rogue cultivators present looked at each other and didn't speak.

Some cried, and some laughed.

Some took advantage of the fire to loot a fortune yesterday.

Others died on the street yesterday and completely disappeared from this world.

There were also many innocent rogue cultivators who were broken into by people with red eyes and died at home.

And the Xu Family members after Xu Ying were all glowing and very excited.

The Zhou Family perished, and the days of the Xu and Zhou Families managing the Longmen Market completely ended.

But the days of the Xu Family's rule began.

For bottom-tier rogue cultivators, living was very difficult.

As for who was on top, it was the same, they were all exploiting them.

It was just that the way of exploitation was different.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Xu Family steward Xu Feng began to collect hygiene fees from house to house.

And the hygiene fee rose to two Low-grade Spirit Stones a month.

Instantly, many rogue cultivators in the shantytown changed their faces.

One Low-grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for ten catties of Spirit Rice, and this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Xu Feng said coldly: "Even if it rose to two Low-grade Spirit Stones, the hygiene fee on Qingyun Street is the lowest."

The rogue cultivators on Qingyun Street were silent and finally paid the hygiene fee helplessly.

There were very few cultivators who made a fortune by luck, and they had long since fled and disappeared without a trace.

Only the poor, honest, and bottom-tier rogue cultivators who wanted to survive were hiding at home and didn't go out.

Some of them sold magical artifacts, some used pills to pay for the hygiene fee.......
