Everyone looked at Li Tian who suddenly appeared with vigilance.
Cang Mo calmly protected Lin Qingyang behind him, and Jian Hong also tightened his grip on his sword. Su Jingui stared at him for a long time without daring to speak. For a moment, several people unexpectedly spoke in unison.
Li Tian looked at the few people more and more strangely, and then his eyes fell on the smoke-filled Qianji Hall in the distance, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Qianji Hall... why did it burn down?!" Li Tian said in shock.
"You still have the nerve to ask! Isn't this all your fault!" Jian Hong's eyes widened in anger, the tip of his sword pointed directly at Li Tian, and his hands were shaking with anger.
Li Tian was confused after being scolded. He looked at the murderous people, then looked down at the wine pot in his hand, his eyes full of absurdity. "What did I do? I just went to the wine cellar in the back mountain to get two pots of spiritual wine brewed by my ancestors. What on earth is going on?"
Everyone was silent, with four pairs of eyes staring at him suspiciously.
"Didn't you do it?" Lin Qingyang walked half a step behind Cang Mo and looked at Li Tiandao, "Someone carved mouths on those wooden figures. They were just slashing everywhere with knives like crazy, and we were almost all killed in them."
"Engraved their mouths?" Li Tian's expression changed, and his voice suddenly rose. "You mean... someone forcibly opened their seven orifices?!"
"It's more than just opening up the seven orifices!" Su Jingui jumped out when he saw this, pointing to the clothes with two big holes in his chest, and said with lingering fear, "It's just a life-threatening evil spirit! If I hadn't been wearing gold silk armor, I would have been stabbed into a sieve!"
Li Tian frowned and murmured to himself, "How could this happen..."
With Li Tian's shocked expression, Lin Qingyang and Cang Mo looked at each other, and both saw the solemn look in the other's eyes.
"Wait a minute..." Su Jingui's voice trembled unconsciously, "If... if it wasn't you who did it, then who did it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark wind blew from nowhere and blew across the river, making everyone shiver.
A creepy thought crept into everyone's mind at the same time. If it wasn't any one of the five of them, then there was a sixth person hiding in the Xuanji Space, which was completely sealed and unable to use any spiritual or demonic power!
The long empty streets of Hidden City.
The teams of the two tribes of humans and monsters still maintained a tense formation, confronting each other. However, as time went by, this murderous confrontation gradually took on a weird and funny atmosphere, like a group of children playing "one, two, three wooden figures", with no one willing to move first.
In mid-air, the Xuanji walnut was suspended quietly, emitting a soft halo and projecting a luminous magic circle on the ground.
On the steps in front of Fusheng Pavilion, Zhu Ji was holding a cup of tea and sipping lightly. Ku Rong walked out of the pavilion, looked at the motionless walnuts in the air, and asked with some worry, "The people inside haven't come out yet?"
Spider Girl helplessly shook her head.
Ku Rong turned his head again and looked at the two parties standing motionless on the street, and lowered his voice in surprise. "They... were cast a restraining spell?"
Spider Girl rolled her eyes and said a little speechlessly, "What kind of body is this? It's a competition. You want to save face or suffer the consequences."
Just as Spider Girl said, the people on both sides are actually suffering terribly at this moment.
On the human side, a few young disciples with lower cultivation levels and high airs had already begun to tremble in their legs, and their bodies could not help but sway slightly, but they still had to tighten their faces and pretend to be dignified and resigned to death.
The demon clan's side was not much better. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on the foreheads of Yinyu and Bashan.
Ba Shan tried hard to maintain a fierce grin. His eyes were sore from not blinking for so long. He could only squeeze out a very low voice from between his teeth and asked, "General... why do we have to stand like this all the time?"
Langya was carrying the heavy sword, and his shoulders were almost numb. He also gritted his teeth and whispered back, "I didn't know! Even if they don't move, we can't lose in terms of momentum!"
Spider Girl finally couldn't stand it any longer, put down her teacup, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, you have been standing here for so long. It seems that this peace talk will not end in a while. Why don't we all take a sip of tea and rest for a while."
After that, she waved her hand, and several half-demon came out with tea.
Langya stared at the opposite side warily and did not move.
On the human side, Mo Yan glanced slightly sideways, glanced at Yun Zhan and Lu Qing who were expressionless beside him, then looked at Li Yan on the other side who didn't even blink, and Elder Chen who seemed to have fallen asleep standing up.
Sighing helplessly, he reached out first and took the tea from the half-demon's tray.
Seeing that someone on the opposite side had finally broken through first, Langya breathed out a sigh of relief, quickly slammed the big knife on his shoulder to the ground, picked up the tea cup and drank it all.
This inexplicable "wooden man" contest finally came to an end, and everyone relaxed.
Mo Yan drank tea and looked up at the Xuanji walnuts floating quietly in the air. He didn't know how they were talking inside. With Cang Mo and Jian Hong's incompetent attitude, Lin Qingyang didn't know whether he could suppress the situation.
Just as he was thinking, a white figure suddenly came to his side.
Yun Zhan held a long sword in his hand and looked cold. He called out very politely, "Elder Mo." After saying that, he pursed his lips and fell silent, as if he was thinking about his words.
Mo Yan looked at him, probably expecting what he wanted to ask. Ever since he was defeated by Lin Qingyang at the Immortal Alliance Ceremony five years ago, Yun Zhan had been practicing kendo in seclusion. It is said that in the past two years, Jian Hong had proposed that he take over the position of peak master and become the youngest elder in the history of Shenjian Mountain, but he rejected it on the grounds that "he has not yet mastered kendo and has no interest in worldly affairs."
"Senior Lin..." Yun Zhan hesitated in his voice, with a hint of embarrassment in his cold eyes.
Mo Yan sighed helplessly and said, "He has lost all his spiritual power now. I'm afraid he can no longer compete with you in a sword fight."
Yun Zhan tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and after a moment of silence he said, "I want to ask, does Senior Lin really... voluntarily stay in Demon Emperor City?"
Mo Yan looked at him with some surprise. Of course Lin Qingyang did not do it voluntarily, but these were his private matters after all, and he could not tell Yun Zhan. Just when he was about to fool him, he suddenly heard Lang Ya shouting loudly not far away.
"Hey! What's going on with the broken walnut?!"
Everyone was interrupted by this exclamation, and all looked up.
I saw that the Xuanji walnut that had been floating quietly in mid-air flickered violently like a candle in the wind. Then, the soft light on the surface of the walnut slowly dimmed, and the magic circle that connected the walnut to the ground and was the only entrance and exit passage that shot out from the walnut flickered twice, and disappeared completely like a cut wire!
