It's getting late.
Although Chang'an has not been peaceful these past few days.
But for the common people in Shengdou, they still have to get by.
The restaurants on the street were still steaming with steam, and the shouts of the sellers could be heard one after another.
The end of the long street.
Suddenly a strange wind blew up.
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound like a drum.
In a teahouse on the street, a man who was drinking tea from a big bowl shook his hand.
Hot tea was poured all over my crotch, but I didn't bother to wipe it.
He stared at the street with wide eyes.
I saw a black tide pouring out from the end of the long street.
Is it a horse?
But it's no ordinary horse.
The whole body is jet black and shiny, without any stray hairs, and its body is half a head taller than an ordinary horse.
Four hooves create wind, and sparks fly when stepping on the Greenstone board.
The most terrifying thing is the horse's eyes, which are as red as two lanterns and flash with a bloodthirsty and fierce light.
The people on horseback are all black and have red stripes.
A chain was wrapped around his waist, making a clattering sound as the horse's body rose and fell.
To ordinary people's ears, the sound is like a hook in the hands of Black and White, making people's hearts tremble.
"Demon Suppression Bureau is working on the case! Everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!"
When this voice shouted out, the long street that had just been quiet suddenly exploded.
Where have the common people seen such a battle?
I originally wanted to watch the excitement, but now I wish I had two extra legs and crawled into the alleys on both sides.
They didn't even bother to close the stalls, and vegetable leaves and porcelain bowls were broken all over the floor.
It only takes a few breaths.
The long street, which was bustling with people just now, was now empty except for wind-swept leaves.
Dozens of black horses paid no attention to the fleeing people.
Instead, it was like a sharp black arrow, piercing straight into an inn in the middle of the long street.
This world is not the best in Chang'an, but it is better than pure.
On weekdays, there are mostly travelers traveling from north to south stopping here.
At this moment.
Dozens of people on black horses immediately surrounded the inn.
The people hid behind the cracks in the door and did not dare to express their anger.
I only dared to look through the gap and cautiously look at these evil stars.
Someone recognized the leader's attire.
"This is... Lieutenant General of the Demon Suppression Bureau?!"
For the common people.
Zhenmo Lieutenant General is already a rare high-ranking official in the imperial court.
Such a person takes action.
Something terrible must have happened!
But where does Demon come from in Chang'an City?
Is it possible...
Thinking of the sudden influx of strange faces in the city recently... an idea gradually emerged in everyone's mind.
The imperial court... is finally going to take action against this group of unscrupulous foreign monks?
The second floor of the inn.
A table by the window.
A pot of wine and two plates of side dishes.
Sitting there was an old man and a young man.
The old man's face was calm, as if he didn't care about what was going on below, and was still minding his own business Earth Grade drinking.
The young man sitting opposite him was not so determined.
Although the two of them wore similar robes, their originally handsome faces looked nervous, and they looked down from time to time.
The sound of horse hooves outside the window has stopped, and the sound of iron ropes is cold.
The young man finally couldn't hold himself back and reminded in a low voice, "Master... is from the Great Tang court."
"..."
Seeing that the old man had no reaction, the young man glanced out of the window unconsciously, and then retracted it like an electric shock. "What... what's going on? We haven't caused trouble in the past few days, let alone committed crimes in the street like those people, why..."
Why is this spearhead pointed at them first?
Their lineage is named Formless.
Although he is at the bottom among Five Luminaries Twenty-Five Lineages, he is still one of the Twenty-Five Lineages orthodoxy after all.
There are also some names in Eastern Territory.
I usually keep a low profile, but this time I came to Chang'an just to fish in troubled waters and see if I could try my luck.
Unexpectedly, the net was lowered before the fish could be touched.
Hearing this, the old man drank the remaining wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"Ha--"
Breathing out a breath of alcohol, the old man put down his wine bowl, raised his lips, and said indifferently, "What else can happen?"
"It's probably the one who's planning to attack us..."
Hearing this, the young man trembled suddenly.
Although the old man did not name who it was... he instantly understood who he was referring to.
Not so long ago.
At the top of Imperial City, a blood moon swept across the sky.
The three Tower-Ascending Realm realms all fell in one breath.
The young man saw that scene very clearly.
What a tyrannical method?
What kind of unreasonable killing?
I thought before that this Great Tang was a mundane place.
When you wait for others to come, you will be a god.
But now it seems, where is this ordinary place?
The dragon's pond and tiger's den are almost the same...
The more the young man thought about it, the more frightened he became. He felt that the stool under his buttocks seemed to have nails, making it unsteady no matter how much he sat on it.
Although the Formless lineage has cunning methods, they are good at hiding their whereabouts.
But I am not in the Tower-Ascending Realm realm... can I really run away?
"Master..."
The young man couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly. "Let's... go?"
"Let's leave before they take action. The other party may not kill them all..."
You can't be so overbearing that just because you've been here for a while in Chang'an, you have to hunt them down throughout Eastern Territory, right?
But the old man raised his lips and said sarcastically, "Why are we walking?"
"Ah?"
The young man was stunned and looked at the old man in confusion.
No...
Where does your confidence... come from?
The old man did not answer.
He just lowered his eyes indifferently, looking at the bustling black figures below.
In fact, for the Formless lineage, the so-called Imperial Position orthodoxy is far less realistic than maintaining the top spot of one's own Twenty-Five Lineages.
They were already at the bottom, and they had long lost their ambition to compete for supremacy.
I just want to be able to secure that one-third of an acre of land.
The reason why I haven't left yet is because I saw that several other sects didn't leave. If I ran away first, it would be a shame to spread the word.
Besides.
Orthodoxy must have the dignity of orthodoxy.
Even if you have to leave first, you must leave with honor.
No matter it's the mortal emperor coming in person, or that woman coming to visit.
Someone with status had to come and ask them politely to leave the city.
If you were kicked out just like that...
Although the Formless lineage is weak, it is still one of the Twenty-Five Lineages orthodox ones.
There is absolutely no way he can bear such humiliation.
Thinking like this.
The old man raised his hand indifferently.
Sa--
Thousands of water streams suddenly surged out from his sleeves and robes.
In an instant, it transformed into a ferocious beast in mid-air, with teeth and claws.
Tower-Ascending Realm's power is unreserved!
But the giant beast only hovered in mid-air without moving.
I just want to let the ordinary people outside know what kind of person is sitting upstairs.
It's better to call someone who can talk.
Rather than really want to fight to the death with this Great Tang.
Just about to say something.
Boom--
Five-handled Flying Sword roared from a distance.
The khaki atmosphere is intense and cold.
But in the blink of an eye, the nails were nailed into the floor, instantly surrounding the two of them with tables and chairs.
The old man's complexion changed, and he was about to withdraw the water flow to protect his whole body.
The next moment.
The two of them felt a sudden weight on their bodies, and the tables and chairs beneath them instantly crushed the floor of the second floor.
There was a bang.
Being thrown into the floor tiles on the first floor!
