I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

The sun shines on the earth, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, and the sky is excellent.

But today's Iron Blood City has lost its former bustle and bustle. The four city gates are tightly closed, shops and restaurants are closed, and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.

There are only groups of iron-blooded militiamen composed of armored guards, guest ministers and guardians from major merchant families in the city.

On the streets of the city, horses galloped wildly, rushing between the four city gates.

The aqua blue city defense formation has also been activated.

In recent days, two major events have happened in the city.

The first thing was the message that came from Shicheng in the north a few days ago.

Zhao Wuji, the elder of the Qilin Hall of the Iron Blood Sect, was accidentally besieged and killed by multiple fourth-level demon kings while performing a mission in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Once the news came back, the whole city was shocked.

Innately powerful people are extremely rare in the Outer Sky, and they are even more top-notch existences in the Iron-Blooded City.

The fall of such a big man had a sensational impact. Whether it was in the Iron-Blooded Sect or on the streets of the city, people were talking about it everywhere.

However, everyone has not yet digested the news.

Early this morning, another urgent report came from the north.

The beast tide has broken out. It is said that this beast tide is extremely large and is spreading towards the south.

Early this morning, the Iron Blood Gate sent an order to seal the four city gates.

And summoned all the monks in the city who were in the Body Tempering Realm and above to serve as a militia team to participate in the task of defending the city.

When the beast tide comes, the fate of everyone in the city is tied together.

Once the city is destroyed, no one can survive, so everyone is extremely united at this time, and every household contributes.

…

At this time, on the tower of the north gate of Iron Blood City.

The well-equipped Iron Blood Sect soldiers were guarding the city tower, and their number was several times that of before.

The city walls are already filled with various city defense equipment.

Wearing a silver-white battle armor with some gray hair, the burly leader of the Iron-Blooded Sect, Tie Xiong.

Together with Di Wanhe, the master of White Tiger Hall, Gong Yunzhi, the master of Zhuque Hall, and Su Qi, the master of Xuanwu Hall.

The four innate experts climbed onto the tower together and looked out over the northern land.

According to the intelligence from the front, the first wave of beasts should arrive in the Iron-Blooded City within half an hour.

Tiexiong stood in the center of the tower, looking at the empty land in the distance with a serious expression.

Di Wanhe, Su Qi and others on the side also looked solemn.

The Iron Blood City has been filled with bad news these past two days.

When they learned that Zhao Wuji had died in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, Di and Su, who regarded him as an ally, were both shocked.

They had some suspicions, but based on the intelligence, there were no flaws.

The two of them planned to rush to Shicheng to investigate in person, but they didn't expect that the beast tide would come again at this time.

And that's not the worst.

Just a moment ago, the sect leader Tiexiong sent a message with a jade talisman, trying to contact Yao Huang who was guarding Shicheng, but he did not get a reply for a long time. It seemed that something unexpected happened.

As for Shicheng, in addition to the first wave of messengers sent out immediately before the beast tide broke out.

So far, no news has been sent back.

The messenger soldiers sent out by Iron Blood City also did not come back, and the two sides have lost contact.

According to the intelligence, the scale of this beast tide is unprecedentedly huge. Shicheng will definitely not be able to withstand it and must evacuate as soon as possible.

If something happened to Yao Huang, the defenders of Shicheng would probably not be able to retreat.

The Iron-Blooded Sect has lost an innate strong man. Once Yao Huang and thousands of the Iron-blooded Sect's elites are also lost, it will be an immeasurable loss, which will directly lead to the emptiness of the Iron-Blooded City's defense.

In order to avoid causing panic, the news was only known to Tiexiong and three elders for the time being and was not spread.

At this time, they were standing on the city tower, not only observing the movements of the beast tide, but also waiting for news from Shicheng so that they could get out of the city as soon as possible to respond.

But two hours have passed since the first message was received.

Information about Shicheng is still lost in the sea.

Everyone's hearts gradually sank to the bottom!

At the same time, behind the tower.

In the area near the north city wall, a tall building was built, which is higher than the city wall. The observation deck on the top can see the northern plains.

At this time, the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in the Iron Blood City were gathering on the high platform, looking out of the city.

Although they have no cultivation and do not need to guard the city gates, they each have a large fortune in the Iron Blood City. The safety of the city is directly related to their wealth and lives.

Everyone wants to know the situation of the beast tide as soon as possible.

Song Xinghe in the crowd felt particularly heavy at this time.

A few days ago, the news of Zhao Wuji's death in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons came, which shocked the head of the Song family like five thunderbolts struck his head.

Not long ago, Song Xinghe became a popular figure in the city because Zhao Wuji, the elder of the Iron Blood Sect, publicly supported the Song family.

Not only did no one dare to embarrass the Song family's business anymore, but all the major families came to curry favor one after another, making the Song family's business smooth sailing and becoming more and more popular.

But Song Xinghe never expected that as soon as the Song family had a protective god, the "statue" would collapse in the blink of an eye.

Now, in addition to regretting the death of Elder Zhao, Song Xinghe is also worried about the future situation of the Song family.

Recently, many heads of other families with whom Song Xinghe used to be on good terms have begun to intentionally avoid him. Some even directly canceled their cooperation with them and left to relax, that's all.

Compared with Song Xinghe's worries about the future of his family, Song Shanshan followed his father to the observation deck.

At this moment, his expression was indifferent, with sadness hidden in his eyebrows.

Ever since she heard the news that the young man had fallen in the Forest of Monsters, Song Shanshan's heart seemed to have lost something.

She didn't cry or wail, but she seemed to be frozen, and her perception of the outside world became numb.

In her mind, she kept recalling her first meeting with Zhao Wuji.

He fell from the sky into the river, and after being rescued by the Song family caravan, they traveled together to Tiexue City.

There were many misunderstandings during this period, and Song Shanshan once hated this man to the extreme.

But many things that happened afterwards not only resolved the misunderstanding, but also shocked and made Song Shanshan feel guilty.

The image of the scoundrel who cheated for food and drink and was good for nothing suddenly reversed in her heart.

It was him who protected the Song family caravan along the way and didn't care about his misunderstanding.

It was him who sent people to save the Song family from danger when they were framed and his innocence was in danger.

It was also him who displayed his magical powers at the Iron Blood Gate Ceremony, astonished everyone, and publicly protected the Song family, giving them a safe haven.

The two images before and after are completely two extremes.

The contrast between the two makes Zhao Wuji's image more majestic and noble.

In addition, Zhao Wuji is young, and although he is not handsome, he is very handsome.

Song Shanshan is also at the age of first love. There is no girl who does not have spring in her heart, and there is no beauty who does not love heroes.

Song Shanshan knows what she is thinking, but because of her previous actions, she feels guilty and embarrassed to express her feelings.

When she saw Zhao Wuji off outside the city that day, she stayed up for three late nights and sewed the fur coat one stitch at a time.

Because she was sleepy, she was pierced with several blood holes on her hands. Miss Song, who had never suffered such hardships on weekdays, even secretly wiped away tears a few times.

But when Zhao Wuji accepted the gift, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, as if everything she had done was rewarded.

After Zhao Wuji left Tiexue City, she began to learn more difficult needlework and embroider more complex and exquisite patterns.

She wanted to make a complete gown for him. Now the gown has been made more than half, but the person she wanted to give it to is no longer there.

Just like the light in Song Shanshan's eyes, it disappeared forever...

Song Xinghe saw his expressionless and dull daughter beside him.

With a pain in his heart, he called out softly a few times, but Song Shanshan seemed not to hear it.

And just at this moment.

"Buzz...!"

Suddenly there was a noisy buzzing sound, which gradually increased from far to near.

Everyone suddenly felt a slight numbness under their feet, but the entire observation tower was shaking slightly.

At this time, someone suddenly pointed to the north, a dusty area, and cried out in surprise.

"Beast tide, beast tide is coming!"
