Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

Tongling City has a radius of nearly fifty miles and is divided into three areas. The center is where the Governor's Office, the Warden's Office, and the Sacred Heart Residence are located, and extending twenty miles outward is the core area governed by the Rakshasa Holy Cult.

Then, the fifteen-mile inner ring area in the middle is the sphere of influence of Daluo Sect, while the fifteen-mile outer ring area closest to the city gate is the territory of the nine third-rate forces in Tongling.

The chaos in the city continues. Under the raging blood vines, the earth is shaking, buildings are collapsing, and creatures are wailing. The night sky is already glowing with a strange red color. I don’t know if it is reflected by these vines or is caused by the blood in the city.

dyed.

No matter it is a street corner or a house, no matter it is a commoner or a warrior with cultivation, as long as they are still alive, even if there are bloody vines chasing them, they will still run towards the east gate, even those who have been killed by the vines

, the corpses all kept running towards the east gate.

Zhan Taiqing's words gave them hope. Although it worked, it was extremely limited. After all, this bloody vine was enough to threaten a tenth-level warrior.

There are more than two million people in Tongling City, and there are only thirty or forty thousand warriors at most. How many tenth-level warriors can there be?

It can be said that most people have no choice but to wait to die when faced with the bloody vines. Those who can escape are just lucky because the number of vines is limited.

In the middle area of ​​the main road in the east city, about twenty-five miles away from the Juncheng Mansion, Ding Dian led 10,000 government troops and was marching towards the inner city area while clearing away the vines that were constantly coming from all around.

"Peng Ling, how far are we from the inner city?"

Ding Dian split the vines in front of him with a palm, turned around and asked with a gloomy expression.

Behind him, a burly general wearing silver armor replied with a loud voice: "Five miles!"

"How many men and horses were lost along the way?"

"About five to six hundred people!"

Ding Dian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the numbers reported by Peng Ling.

This loss is still within his acceptable range.

Zhan Taiqing asked Fan Longhe to lead half of the government troops to meet at the east gate, and he led the other half of the government troops into the city to rescue people. Both of them were begging to make up for their mistakes, so as soon as Zhan Taiqing's order came out, the two of them immediately obeyed.

Originally there were 30,000 soldiers in the government, but when they resisted the demon army outside the east gate, they lost 5,000 to 6,000, leaving only 24,000. Although Fan Longhe did not get along with him in the past, the current crisis in Tongling, coupled with the

At this time, Fan Longhe did not dare to interfere with Zhan Taiqing's order, and honestly distributed 12,000 people to him.

Fan Longhe did not dare to disobey Zhan Taiqing, and neither did Ding Dian. After the government troops and horses were assigned, he led them into the city without stopping.

He is not stupid either. It seems that the blood demon's strength has not yet fully recovered. If he doesn't hurry up and go to the city to save more people and show off more in front of Zhan Taiqing, he will definitely die miserably after the incident in Tongling is over.

.

Although the bloody vine is strong, he is a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm after all. Together with nearly 12,000 government troops and more than a dozen Gang Qi realm masters in the army, it only took less than a quarter of an hour.

In that time, we walked twenty miles, and we only had to walk another five miles to reach the inner city, which was already very fast.

As they got closer to the inner city, they saw more and more ruins, and the wailing sounds coming from the ruins became more and more intensive.

"Dad, Mom, where are you? I'm so scared..."

"Save my child, he is tangled in vines, please save my child, he is only five years old, please!"

"Wow wow wow wow..."

"Son, where are you? Who has seen my son? He is separated from me. Son, can you hear dad's voice? Please promise dad!"

"Brother, take your two children and go first. Run to the east gate quickly. You can still live."

…………

There are young children who have lost their parents and are crying in the ruins; there are adults whose children have been penetrated by vines, their faces full of despair and have lost the desire to survive; there are also babies who are still sobbing and crying in their infancy, protected by the corpses of their parents;

And the father who is rummaging through the bones for his son...

There are countless tragedies before the disaster.

The county town, which was enveloped in the festive atmosphere of the Rakshasa Festival just a moment ago, is now littered with corpses. There are ruins everywhere in the city, and the ruins are filled with wailing and crying, just like a scene of purgatory on earth...

When he saw this area, Ding Dian's face was a little gloomy. It was not because of sympathy or intolerance. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen scenes worse than what he saw before him. The main reason was that he was thinking about what these people in front of him should do.

Don't waste time trying to save.

"Sir, it's more important to go to the inner city first. This is still the sphere of influence of Daluo Sect. Daluo Sect should rescue them. The brothers behind them are all looking forward to entering the inner city to save people. Their family members and relatives are still there.

In the inner city..."

As soon as Peng Ling finished speaking, the sounds of falling and falling suddenly sounded from the army behind him.

"The commander is right. My wife and children are still alive or dead in the inner city. We can't control the people here!"

"Ding Sicheng, hurry up and enter the inner city. There are only the last five miles left. I still have my old parents at home. I don't know whether they are alive or dead. I have to make sure."

"I also want to go to my son."

"I want to save my daughter."

…………

Ding Dian was so noisy by these noises that his head almost exploded. Although his brows twitched fiercely, he still suppressed the irritability in his heart and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, I can carry it out. Since I have promised you to go to the inner city to rescue me first,

People will not break their promises and keep walking!"

Under normal circumstances, if these more than ten thousand soldiers dared to threaten him like this, he would have caught a few of the leaders of the heckles and slapped them to death, but that was not possible now.

In order to show off in front of Zhan Taiqing, he not only had to save people, but he also had to save as many people as possible. In that case, he couldn't do it alone, and he had to rely on the more than 10,000 soldiers in front of him.

But these more than 10,000 soldiers are also human beings, and they also have selfish motives!

The Holy Sect of Rakshasa governs three provinces and eight provinces. Most of the soldiers and soldiers of all the provinces are recruited from the local area. Therefore, the 30,000 soldiers in Tongling are from Tongling County themselves.

The biggest reason why they fought so hard against the demons at the East Gate was because among the more than two million people in the city, there were their own relatives.

They are all soldiers of the local army under the rule of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, and they are also non-staff personnel of the Holy Sect. Naturally, they all live in the core urban area close to the County Cheng Mansion. Correspondingly, their families and relatives also live in the inner city.

So when they learned that Ding Dian was going to take them into the city to save people, these people only made one request, which was to save the people in the inner city first.

Even Ding Dian would not dare not agree to this request. These people are Fan Longhe's people, and they have violated him openly and secretly. If he dares not to agree, it will be a public outrage. If these people do not cooperate with him to save people, Zhan Taiqing will definitely have to do it in the end.

Blame him.

Besides, if the people in the inner city can be successfully rescued, the credit will be his. It will also be good for him to win the hearts and minds of the government army.

After reaffirming his determination, Ding Dian stopped thinking wildly and led his men to march towards the inner city wholeheartedly, avoiding the vines along the way, and soon arrived at the inner city.

When he arrived at the inner city and saw the scene in front of him, Ding Dian was immediately dumbfounded. Not only him, but also Peng Ling and all the government troops behind him were dumbfounded.

The inner city is twenty miles in total. They have just approached it, which is the outermost part of the inner city. The ruins here are far less than the area when they came. Not only that, there are very few corpses on the ground, even those who escaped towards them.

There were only a few thousand people, and the vines chasing them were obviously not as numerous as those outside.

The blood-colored towering ancient tree, where the Blood Demon appears, is in the center of the city, where the Governor's Mansion is located. It is the core of the inner city. It is said that the closer the place is to the Blood Demon, the more it will be destroyed.

Cruel, the casualties will definitely be the most severe.

When they came, many people were actually mentally prepared.

But when they arrived, they discovered that the inner city was far less damaged than the outer city!

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the closer you are to the Blood Demon, the safer you are?"

"My home was not damaged, and there seems to be no one inside!"

"My family is the same. Son, are you here?"

"Father, mother, where are you guys? If you hear this, just answer me."

…………

In the midst of doubts, many soldiers from the imperial army who lived nearby had left the team and returned home to check the situation. However, hundreds of people came back one after another with doubtful looks on their faces.

"There is no one in my family anymore."

"Both of my children are not here, and I didn't see the body."

"Haha, my dad is not here either, he must have found a place to hide!"

…………

Many soldiers had a look of envy on their faces when they heard those who said they had not seen any corpses at home. After seeing the tragic scene of hell on earth in the outer city area, they also sincerely hoped that they would not be able to find their relatives.

bodies, after all that probably means they are still alive.

Ding Dian was as puzzled as everyone else, but he reacted quickly. When he saw about ten people running away from the inner city, he jumped up and rushed directly behind those people, flying with his palms and flying behind them.

The bloody vines helped them get out of the siege.

These dozen or so people had obviously seen the power of vines. They all showed excitement after being rescued, and when they looked at Ding Dian, they wanted to kneel down and salute.

One of the middle-aged warriors, who was at the tenth level, seemed to recognize Ding Dian and quickly bowed and saluted, saying gratefully: "Thank you Ding Sicheng for saving your life!"

"It's Lord Ding, please thank Lord Ding for help."

"It's the government army. The government army has come in to save us. We are saved!"

…………

Ding Dian had no time to pay attention to these people and asked directly: "Why are there so few people in the inner city? Where have the others gone?"

A look of regret suddenly appeared on the middle-aged warrior's face, and he said: "About half an hour ago, before the bloody ancient tree appeared, a large number of people ran towards the west gate from the inner city, shouting as they ran,

He said that a demon was about to cause trouble in the city, and he asked us to escape from the city through the west gate with him. There was still a glimmer of hope. A large number of people believed him and went out of the city with him. Now I am afraid that they are all in a safe place outside the city!

I know the leader, he is Hou Yujie, the fourth master of the Zhaoyang Hou clan. Those people should also be warriors from the Zhaoyang Hou clan. If I had known that the city would turn out like this, I should have followed him..."

Zhaoyang Hou family, Hou Yujie?

Have you brought your family members in the inner city to a safe place?

Ding Dian and Peng Ling both looked stunned, looking a little confused. How did the Hou family know in advance that the blood demon would enter the city and rescue everyone in advance?

Behind the two people, a group of government soldiers looked at each other for a while, and suddenly showed extremely lucky smiles. The Hou family knew in advance that the demons would cause trouble in the city, and they all left the city. They must be in a safe place now.

If their family members followed them, wouldn't they be safe?

Ding Dian and Peng Ling, who were originally looking puzzled, saw the change in expression on the faces of the soldiers behind them, and their brows suddenly condensed, and then they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Sicheng, something is wrong. How did the Hou family know that the blood demon would appear in the city and take people out of the west gate so early..."

"You still took away the family members of these government troops. The Hou family... has a terrible heart!"

Peng Ling was interrupted by Ding Dian before he finished speaking. When he heard the four words "his heart is to be killed" behind Ding Dian, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face suddenly full of shock.

……………………

Ten miles away from the official road to the west gate, there is a flat forest land with a rolling stretch of 15 or 16 miles. The camp is crowded with more than 200,000 people, including young and old, men and women, and most of them are old people.

Weak women and children.

Most of them were currently looking sideways at the bloody towering ancient tree in Tongling City and the bloody vines stretching out from below. Although there was a hint of happiness on their faces, they were mostly frightened.

"Everyone rest on the spot, we are far away from the monster, don't worry!"

"The head of the family has ordered that the city is not safe yet, so we will not return to the city for the time being. We will rest here tonight!"

"Everyone rest on the spot, we are far away from the monster, don't worry!"

"The head of the family has ordered that the city is not safe yet, so we will not return to the city for the time being. We will rest here tonight!"

………………

There were warriors from the Hou family dressed in black, constantly interspersed among them, maintaining order among the crowd, and repeating the same words to comfort everyone.

On the east side of the crowd, there was an army of about three thousand warriors surrounding them. These more than three thousand people were all above the fifth level of cultivation, and among them there were a thousand people riding horses.

They stood together, their blood was soaring to the sky, and their momentum was quite astonishing.

On a hilltop on the easternmost side of the crowd, Hou Yuxiao stood at the front, with more than fifty people standing behind him. The closest ones were Hou Yucheng, Hou Yujie, Hou Yuling, and then Li Sanyun, Nie Xinchuan, and Bai Yunfan.

The masters of power, as well as Li Sanyun's only son Li Shiji, Bai Yunfan's son Bai Dongyu, and Nie Xinchuan's brother Nie Xinliu, are also prominently listed.

Apart from these ten people, the remaining more than forty people are all Gang Qi realm warriors from the Hou family, Bai family, Hongdao Clan, and Yaochen Sect.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with fear when they saw the impenetrable army of monsters surrounding Tongling County and the towering blood-colored ancient tree that was still clearly visible so far away.

"That bloody towering ancient tree must be the rumored body of the Blood Demon!"

"The city here is probably full of corpses."

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

"If we were a step later, we wouldn't be able to get out."

"Thanks to the head of the Hou family. If it weren't for him, we would all be trapped in the city."

…………

While everyone was discussing, their faces were full of fear. Only then did they turn their attention back to Hou Yuxiao, who was standing alone in front. Without exception, their faces showed admiration and deep conviction.

Hou Yuxiao also turned around at this time, first glanced at the 3,000-strong army, and then glanced at the more than 200,000 people behind the army, with a glint deep in his eyes.

Then, he turned his attention to the people in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "Everyone has thought clearly about joining or not joining our Qinglong Club. Now you can give me the answer!"
