Chapter 889 One Step Late
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the city gate. Just as he was about to pass through the city gate, a dazzling golden light shot from the direction of the city lord's mansion, like a golden veil, spreading on the city wall and blocking the city gate.
The city lord's majestic voice came from the golden light: "The demon cultivators are making trouble and intend to attack the city. From now on, Xianliu City will be under martial law, and the cultivators in the city are not allowed to leave the city!"
"Violators will be killed!"
A monstrous murderous intent swept out from the golden light, and the cultivators within a hundred miles of the city gate all turned pale. Some cultivators with lower cultivation and close to the city gate had fainted on the spot under this monstrous murderous intent.
Ye Zhou, who was closest to the city gate, was the moment the murderous intent attacked, and the Demon God Body Forging Art in his body automatically operated to isolate this murderous intent, so he was not affected.
But his face was also very ugly.
He was just one step late, and he could leave the city in just one step!
But now he is trapped in this Xianliu City and will live and die with Xianliu City.
Hearing the city lord's tone, it must be that the demon cultivators attacking the city this time are very powerful, and it is probably a life-and-death duel.
Although he has means to save his life, there must be a Yuanying realm cultivator among the demon cultivators attacking the city. Once they fight, it is hard to predict whether he will live or die.
Moreover, if this decisive battle lasts too long and delays his entry into Qingyuan Palace, all the efforts he has made before will be in vain.
The more Ye Zhou thought about it, the deeper his frown became.
Just as Ye Zhou was thinking, the cultivators guarding the city had already closed the city gate, and several formations on the city wall were running with a bang, and the light of the formations shot up into the sky.
Outside the city gate, the cultivators waiting in line to enter the city were in chaos at this time. With their cultivation, being locked outside the city was tantamount to waiting to die. The cultivators rushed to the city gate desperately, hoping to seek a glimmer of life.
"Please, let me in! I have spiritual stones, I can give them to you."
"I am the son of the manager of the City Lord's Mansion, please let me in!"
"I am the disciple of Hongyu Fairy! Please let me in!"
The monks guarding the city on the city wall turned a deaf ear, coldly glanced at the chaotic monks below, and checked the city protection array around them from time to time.
Just as the city lord ordered martial law in the city, several teams of Jindan realm monks holding magic weapons came straight to the city gate from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and quickly took over the city gate at the order of the city lord.
Seeing that he could not leave the city today, Ye Zhou sighed lightly and turned to walk towards his residence. Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly had an idea and thought of Qi Rongyin, maybe he could ask her for help.
At this moment, screams came from outside the city gate. It turned out that the monks who were locked outside the city saw that the city gate was not open for a long time, and finally couldn't help but took out magic weapons to attack the city gate and tried to open the city gate.
How could the monks of the City Lord's Mansion who had just taken over the city gate tolerate their presumption? They immediately controlled the magic weapon and killed all the monks outside the city gate.
Some of the clever monks saw that the situation was not right, and when the monks of the City Lord's Mansion took action, they used the escape method and fled far away.
In just a moment, there were corpses piled up outside the city gate.
The monks who fled far away saw this scene and knew that there was no hope of entering the city. They had to gather together and stay away from Xianliu City together, so that there was still a glimmer of hope.
Ye Zhou's face was a little heavy. He took out a sound transmission note from his arms, put it to his lips and whispered a few words, and the sound transmission note flew towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Zhou did not return to his residence, but found a teahouse nearby and waited for Qi Rongyin to arrive.
He chose a window seat on the first floor. While getting information from the chat of the monks in the teahouse, he casually looked at the closed city gate not far away.
