Chapter 64

In the Ancestral Hall.

Su Qin's fake body suddenly collapsed, turning into Haoran Qi and dissipating.

Everyone was shocked.

Accompanied by the collapse of the purple-gold Haoran Qi.

Along with it, Li Xiang felt that the divine ability Su Qin had laid on his body was also dissipating bit by bit.

"This is, the backlash of the Power of Humanity?"

He remembered that just now Senior Uncle Zhang tried to control the sky-high Humanity Luck with the Liang King's edict, but halfway through, he seemed unable to bear the pressure and stopped.

Master finished reading that edict, would he also have received a backlash?

Accompanied by Su Qin's disappearance, a commotion suddenly broke out in the Ancestral Hall.

The strongest combat power suddenly disappeared, and the brows of the few people from the Demon Slaying Division were almost twisted into a 'chuan' shape.

Tonight the Southern Wilderness is in great chaos, powerhouses are fighting, and the aftermath is vast.

Many wild beasts in the depths of the Southern Wilderness are trembling under this aura, running around everywhere.

These remote small towns of theirs are closest to the Southern Wilderness, and they feel this most clearly.

From the moment the powerhouses started fighting, wild beasts kept rushing out from the mountains, fleeing in a panic toward the periphery.

Among these, a portion of the wild beasts caused an impact on Shihe Village.

Up to now, the people from the Demon Slaying Division have already killed more than a dozen wild beasts.

Among them, there are even two Ninth Grade demons.

If it weren't for the Demon Slaying Division guarding here tonight, I'm afraid quite a few people in the village would have died.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what happened to Uncle?"

"Why did he turn into light and disappear?"

The little guy opened his eyes wide and asked curiously.

"It's okay, little guy, your Uncle went out to do other things."

"You follow me and don't run around."

"Hold my hand tightly!"

Li Xiang's brows jumped.

The moment Su Qin's body collapsed, he clearly felt that the Confucian divine ability Master left behind him also dissipated gently.

Su Qin said that with this divine ability, demons below the First Grade would all be killed.

Now that the divine ability has dissipated, this Shihe Village seems to have become a bit unsafe.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Li Xiang held Zhao Zheng and moved toward his parents.

If there is danger later, he must first ensure the safety of his parents and the little guy.

Ancestral Hall.

Shen Lian looked at Lu Jianxing with his brows twisted into a 'chuan' shape.

"Big Brother!"

"There are more and more wild beasts outside."

"This can't go on."

"If it becomes a beast tide later, we don't have many brothers, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill their stomachs."

Shen Lian rested his hand on his blade, looking anxiously at the center of the Ancestral Hall.

That was where Su Qin disappeared.

If Su Qin were still here, although he would be a bit worried, he wouldn't be so afraid.

After all, with a Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth here, he thinks even a Second Grade demon wouldn't dare to provoke him at will.

A mere beast tide could be suppressed at will.

But now that Su Qin has suddenly disappeared, they have no bottom in their hearts.

The Southern Wilderness has many demons, often forming huge beast tides to impact Great Liang.

The beast tide is mixed with demons.

Every beast tide causes many casualties.

Now looking at the frightened appearance of the wild beasts outside, Shen Lian is very worried that a beast tide will appear near Black Mountain.

That is far from what the village defense of Shihe Village can resist.

"Don't argue!"

"Let me think about this matter."

Lu Jianxing frowned tightly.

Looking up, there was noise outside.

From time to time, one could hear the sound of the Demon Slaying Division slaughtering wild beasts.

With Su Qin's disappearance, the wild beasts impacting Shihe Village suddenly became more numerous.

As Shen Lian said, this posture, if no powerhouse takes action.

It looks like it won't be long before these frightened wild beasts form a beast tide.

Everything is like this; once the quantity increases, it's not easy to handle.

If their group really falls into the beast tide, I'm afraid it won't be long before they are eaten clean.

Su Qin is not here, so he is the backbone.

He must make a decision immediately.

Stay or leave?

Lu Jianxing didn't answer for a long time.

He just looked at the Demon Suppression Bell for a long time, and then looked up at the villagers outside.

After thinking for a while, he spoke slowly.

"Shen Lian!"

"Here!"

"Go, call a few brothers, and gather all the people in the village together."

"This village can't stay any longer, the fighting in the south is fierce, and too many wild beasts have run out."

"In case a few Great Demons run out, none of us can bear it."

"Call the villagers, we are preparing to leave the village immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A deputy envoy of the Demon Slaying Division stood out in the Ancestral Hall.

"Big Brother, you?"

"Are you going to take these villagers and run away together?"

"There are so many demons and beasts outside, this is nearly a hundred miles from Chiyang County, Big Brother, are you crazy?!"

"Taking this group of burdens, all of us brothers will die."

He looked at Lu Jianxing with some surprise.

It seemed he hadn't expected Lu Jianxing to make this choice at all.

In everyone's impression, the Garrison Commander had always been a ruthless person who was decisive in killing.

How could he take care of these villagers?

Although Chiyang County is more than a hundred miles away from Shihe Village, everyone in the Demon Slaying Division is graded, and they can return to the county in at most two hours.

The county has other bluestone city walls and a Mysterious Grade Demon Suppression Bell, and ordinary beast groups can't pose a threat.

But if they take these villagers, I'm afraid they won't reach the county town until dark.

By doing this, the probability of their brothers encountering danger is simply magnified infinitely.

Is Big Brother crazy?

"Huang Tianer, is your heart made of stone?"

"What is the Demon Slaying Division for, do I need to teach you again?"

"If you are afraid of death, why did you join the Demon Slaying Division?"

"Get out!"

Lu Jianxing looked at him coldly, and a fierce tiger phantom appeared behind him.

It startled Huang Tian into sweating all over.

Seeking life with the people, no regrets even in death.

He had always regarded this as a joke; the high-level officials of the Demon Slaying Division regarded human life as grass, killing at will.

But if Lu Jianxing really used this sentence to pressure him, it would be no problem to execute him now.

Not daring to say more, he took his blade and followed Shen Lian out to organize the villagers.

"Jin Yichuan!"

"Here!"

"Go, call a few nimble brothers, find a cart in the village, and put this Demon Suppression Bell on it for me."

Although the Demon Suppression Bell was damaged by evil cultivators, earlier the Liang King issued an edict, and the Power of Humanity of the whole village gathered, so this broken Demon Suppression Bell shone with treasure light again.

Although it's not as easy to use as before, he thinks it should still have some effect.

"With this bell, we can guarantee to go home safely, and when the time comes, we will go to the Wenwu Building to drink together."

"Big Brother, are you, are you serious?"

"Are you really going to take the villagers and leave together?"

Jin Yichuan was also surprised.

"Why, even you doubt Big Brother?"

The conversation changed, and a few smiles appeared on Lu Jianxing's face.

"Saving a village of villagers and returning safely, this is a great achievement, what are you thinking about?"

"Go quickly, go quickly, bring the Demon Suppression Bell, we will set off at dawn."

Jin Yichuan didn't say anything, pointed to a few people, and went to prepare.

In the Ancestral Hall, only Lu Jianxing was left looking at the room full of women and children.

Holding his blade, leaning against the spirit tablets in the Ancestral Hall, he talked to himself.

"Seeking life with the people, no regrets even in death."

"Damn it, I've said ghost stories too much, I even believe them myself."

"I don't know if the person who wrote this sentence believes it himself."

In a short while, everyone in the Demon Slaying Division moved.

After all, they are Great Liang's regular army, and their efficiency is shockingly high.

Before long, with the cooperation of Village Chief Zhang Wu, everyone was counted and stood at the village entrance, ready to set off at any time.

There was some commotion halfway.

Hearing that they were going to take everyone to Chiyang County, the villagers who were afraid of poverty intended to go home to pack some things and take their only money and food.

Although reasonable, they were still forcibly suppressed by the people of the Demon Slaying Division.

At this time, where is that little money more important than human life?

In the crowd.

Li Xiang followed his parents, holding Zhao Zheng's hand.

He also felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

"The bloody smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger."

The Southern Wilderness sky changed, the aftermath was too great, and many wild beasts were frightened.

Fleeing the Southern Wilderness in a panic.

The people of the Demon Slaying Division just killed many wild beasts, and there were two demons.

Such a strong bloody smell.

I'm afraid it will attract more wild beasts later.

Li Xiang also frowned.

Master said he wanted him to wait for him in the village.

But now, the village also seems to have become unsafe.

Tricky.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiang felt he should follow the main force.

He himself was fine.

But his parents, and the little guy, were all too weak.

"Master, with your old man's strength, finding us two little guys should be easy."

Sighing, Li Xiang felt he needed to cultivate even harder.

He didn't have too many thoughts.

At least he had to grow to the point where he could protect his loved ones.

Before long.

At dawn, the sky was slightly bright.

The crowd had already lined up and gathered at the village entrance.

The people of the Demon Slaying Division were maintaining order.

The blood at the door hadn't been cleaned up, and a mule cart carrying the Demon Suppression Bell drove out slowly.

Afterward, the crowd followed.

Li Xiang followed behind Lao San and Yun Xiu, walking slowly with the crowd, alert at all times for demons that might appear.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, where are we going?"

"There are so many things calling outside, it seems there are many wolves."

The little guy followed behind Li Xiang, his eyes looking sneaky, looking a bit scared.

Li Xiang sighed.

Taking the little guy into the darkness, he said gently:

"Don't be afraid, Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother will take you to the city to buy candied haws to eat."
