Chapter 250 Daqing Mountain, Holy Land Demon
Is it possible that the strongest person here is only the Grand Master?
There seemed to be an explanation for the demon's rampage.
Even if an ordinary master can protect himself from being harmed by ordinary monsters, he probably does not have enough means to fight back against the monsters.
There is a difference between martial arts and magic after all.
According to what Qiao Feng knew, whether it was Taoism or other sects, the martial arts value of those who practiced magic was not weak, and the two went hand in hand.
With a weak body and not much magical power, how can he subdue demons and monsters?
In this case, this is why people like Sima Hongye are also very skilled in martial arts.
Qiao Feng gave Dongfang Bai a look, and Dongfang Bai restrained his momentum. The young man patted his sleeves and climbed up.
The rest of the guards looked at Dongfang Bai in awe.
"Please come in, my two heroes."
The young man seemed to become much more polite suddenly and invited the two of them into the City Lord's Mansion.
Qiao Feng nodded, without any further ado, and entered with Dongfang Bai.
The living room of the City Lord's Mansion was already filled with a table of dishes.
Although it is not very luxurious, according to Jingcheng's situation, this is already a top-notch meal.
"Please take a seat, both of you. I am Xu Qingye, the Lord of Jingcheng. May I ask what your names are, heroes?"
Qiao Feng said: "My name is Qiao Feng, and she is Dongfang Bai."
Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I particularly like stories about martial arts heroes, so I have the habit of collecting martial arts intelligence. Generally, I can recognize the names of any famous masters in the martial arts world. Are you two new to the martial arts world?"
"About that." Qiao Feng replied.
"Pick up your chopsticks, pick up your chopsticks. You two have come from afar. Eat something first and take a rest before we talk about other things."
Xu Qingye poured wine for the two of them very attentively.
Qiao Feng didn't think much about it. After all, he hadn't thought of any poison in the world that could be so undetectable that he could still get poisoned.
Dongfang Bai didn't care at all, since he had Qiao Feng there.
The two of them started eating, and the smile on Xu Qingye's face became even brighter.
"City Lord Xu, who are you to the Fiery Sect?"
Qiao Feng asked casually.
"Oh... well, the leader is my father. Previously, my uncle was the city lord, but he had some accidents while practicing martial arts, so I have been in charge for the past few years."
Xu Qingye blurted out everything in one go, shocking even Qiao Feng.
Is this guy really the lord of a city?
No wonder this kind of brain can make the demon behave like this.
"The demons nearby..."
Qiao Feng looked at Xu Qingye with some hesitation.
When Xu Qingye heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.
He sighed, "Alas... I also want the people to have a peaceful life, but in the end, none of the masters sent to exterminate the demons were left. Only two lucky ones escaped. I want to find more masters, but no one dares to come."
Dongfang Baidao: "As far as I know, since the Fiery Sect is qualified to take over the governance of this city from the Great Zhou, it must be quite powerful, right?"
Xu Qingye picked up the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"In our Fiery Sect, in order to exterminate the demons, most of the masters have died. Even my father has been threatened by the demons. If we dare to go out, they will destroy us. They are great demons in the Saint Realm. My father is only a Grandmaster, how can he resist?"
Dongfang Bai asked in confusion: "Since the demons have such strength, why don't they occupy Jingcheng?"
"They dare not. Jingcheng is still under the jurisdiction of our Liehuo Sect, so Da Zhou will not pay attention to this place. But if it falls into their hands, Da Zhou will definitely send real masters to deal with the nearby monsters."
Xu Qingye had a bitter look on his face and drank two more glasses of wine.
Judging from his expression, this doesn't seem to be fake.
However, Qiao Feng and the others knew that the Great Zhou was most likely aware of the situation here, but did nothing and left them to fend for themselves. One reason was that it was beyond their reach, and even if the demons were cleared out once the experts left, the place would return to its original state.
The second reason was that Wu Zhao had no energy to deal with the problems here at the moment.
"Then what happened when the City Lord's Mansion organized experts to exorcise demons a few days ago?"
Qiao Feng asked about his doubts.
Since you know you are no match for the demon, why do you continue to look for it? Is that the same as seeking death?
Xu Qingye's face turned a little ugly.
"It's like this. Previously, I asked an expert to go to the outside world and find people from the nearby Taoist sect to come here to help us eliminate the monster. As a result, not only were all the people from the Taoist sect killed by the monster, but even the experts in our city were killed in that mountain."
"A nearby Taoist gate?"
Xu Qingye said: "It was a sect called Qingling Sect. Their Taoism was still useful. After they dealt with some monsters, a big monster showed up and almost slaughtered the monster-killing team."
Qiao Feng nodded, "I see. Why don't you go find a disciple from Xuanxin Sect? I heard they have many experts in their sect."
Xu Qingye said: "The Xuanxin Sect is far away in the capital of gods. Moreover, with our status as the city lord of this small city, they will not pay any attention to us. How can we invite them? Even if we can invite disciples, I am afraid they will not be the opponent of the big monster. It will only add more lives."
"It looks like you're going to accept your fate?" Dongfang Bai asked.
It's not hard to hear from his tone.
Xu Qingye lowered his voice a lot and said, “If I want to go out, I can, but our Liehuo Sect has been surrounded by demons in the past ten years.
“If my father dares to go a hundred miles away from Jingcheng, not only will there be a big monster chasing him, but even the entire Liehuo Sect will be in trouble.
“Why do you think the demons don’t kill everyone in the city and suck their blood, flesh and souls?
"One reason is that they are afraid that going too far will attract the top masters of the Great Zhou, which will cause some deaths from time to time. The big shots don't care at all, after all, people die every day.
"Another reason is confinement. Yes, the confinement used to raise livestock. They prevent ordinary people from leaving in large numbers for the sake of long-term development."
Qiao Feng was shocked.
Captivity?
Why are these demons so rampant?
"How many cities are in the same situation as Jingcheng?"
Qiao Feng asked in a cold voice with a chill in his eyes.
"There are at least five cities near the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and our Jingcheng is one of the most miserable ones."
Dongfang Baidao said, "Further ahead of the Great Zhou border, past this mountain range, there is a desert and Gobi Desert. Beyond the desert is a wild land. I heard that is where the barbarians live."
Xu Qingye nodded and said, "That's right. They are called barbarians, but in fact they are no different from us. It's just that they live in a remote area with a harsh environment. They even exist in the form of tribes now."
Upon hearing this, the two men thought to themselves that it must be because the journey was too long and the environment was bad, so there was no need to conquer, otherwise it would have been divided up by various forces long ago.
Qiao Feng nodded: "Which side is Daqing Mountain?"
"It's the highest mountain, due south."
Xu Qingye looked outside. There were continuous mountain ranges over there, and one of the peaks was towering into the clouds, quite conspicuous.
Qiao Feng and Dongfang Bai had almost finished their meal, so they walked out of the hall and looked out into the distance.
"Since we are here, we might as well go and take a look."
Qiao Feng said.
Dongfang Bai hummed, "Let's go together."
Xu Qingye quickly spoke out to stop them, "No, the one living on that Daqing Mountain is a Saint Realm Great Demon, not an ordinary demon. Even though you have the strength of a Grandmaster, you are no match for it."
Qiao Feng raised his hand to stop him from continuing to persuade.
"It doesn't matter. We'll know when we go. It's still early, so why not go now? We can still get back before dark."
Xu Qingye looked anxious and stood in front of the two men.
But how could he stop what Qiao Feng had decided?
