Martial Cultivator

I don’t know how long it took before the swords all over the city dissipated.

A demon royal city became deathly silent.

The army was outside the city, a little quiet.

Li Changling looked at Gao Xuan, and Gao Xuan looked at Xie Nandu.

If Xie Nandu gave the order at this moment, they would enter the city immediately.

Create the glory that belongs to Daliang.

Li Changling had begun to regret that he did not bring a historian with him during this Northern Expedition. What if there were any differences in the oral accounts later, causing problems in the historian's records?

Gao Xuan had more to think about. His eyes had already crossed the royal city and looked further north. To the north of the demon clan's royal city was the demon sea. To the north of the demon sea, it was said that there was a dead land.

Daliang's army has to go further north.

Xie Nandu stood in front of the army, looking at the Demon Clan's royal city, wondering what he was thinking.

I don’t know how long it took, but the gate of the Demon Clan’s royal city in the distance slowly opened.

A young man in black shirt walked out.

His face was a little pale, but his clothes were very new. It was obvious that he had just changed them.

The soldiers looked at this young man without saying a word. In everyone's eyes, there was only the highest respect. No one did not admire the guard of the Liang Dynasty and these warriors.

Yu Xiyi stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Didn't that witch cut off anything important on your body?"

Chen Chao twitched his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Yun Jianyue said softly: "It looks like a hard battle."

Chen Chao nodded.

After saying these two sentences, both of them looked at Chen Chao. In fact, it was not just the two of them, but everyone, waiting for an answer.

Is Xilu dead or not?

Chen Chao did not give that answer. He just said: "I am afraid that a new tenth state of Daliang will be established in the north of Mobei, but I am afraid that few people will be willing to live here."

The Demon Realm has always been bitterly cold, and the winter is too long, making it not suitable for human habitation. It is indeed difficult for the people to go north.

"But after all, it's land that was conquered."

Chen Chao felt a little emotional.

Then he looked at Xie Nandu and said, "Enter the city."

Xie Nandu didn't ask any more questions and just waved his hand.

So the army entered the city.

When the first soldier entered this demon king's city, a new chapter in the history of the human race was truly reached at this moment.

…

…

The demon clan people in the demon clan king's city had fled at large. This time they entered the city and met almost no demon clan people.

On the other side of the Monster Clan Palace, the main hall has long been broken. A palace with various buildings has long been in ruins. The dragon from the Chen Dynasty walked through the royal city before. Before returning, in those places and the Western Continent A fierce battle with sword energy, and this is the final outcome.

The palace behind the sycamore tree was intact. I don't know whether it was because of its remote location or because neither party was willing to destroy it intentionally.

Anyway, the place is intact.

It's just a sycamore tree with a lot of fallen leaves.

This also left the tree without many leaves, making it look extremely miserable.

Beside the plane tree and in front of the palace threshold, there is a woman standing here quietly at this moment, listening to the distant footsteps and the sound of horse hooves, she is silent.

She just raised her head and looked at the sycamore tree, looking at the few leaves that were still falling.

In life, it is actually difficult to say what is a worthwhile journey. Should you make a big difference, or should you just spend your life indifferently?

Whether Xilu's life has been a worthwhile trip is a question that only she herself knows.

She just looked at the sycamore tree and the falling leaves, very quiet, as if everything happening outside was none of her business now.

There are not many things you can manage in your life.

The leaves of the sycamore trees continue to fall, and the leaves of a tree can no longer be seen in an instant.

The last fallen leaf also fell from the treetops at this moment, moving with the wind and falling slowly.

Xi Lu took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and waited for the fallen leaf to fall into his palm.

She raised her head, her eyes full of expectation. At this moment, she seemed to have returned many years ago, when she was a child, eagerly waiting for her mother to pick a sycamore leaf for her.

But now, time has passed, and looking at the last sycamore leaf on this sycamore tree, she seems to have returned to that quiet summer many years ago, when there were not so many things to think about and not so many things to do.

No worries, no worries.

The sycamore leaves slowly fell, and finally landed in Xilu's palm.

There were ripples, like fallen leaves falling into the water.

But the next moment, the fallen leaf still fell towards the ground.

What about Xilu?

The smoke disappeared.

…

…

Xie Nandu and Chen Chao climbed to the top of the royal city and looked to the north.

Xie Nandu said: "Compared to the capital of the gods, it can indeed be described as shabby. Those who have only built a tall city need to build a tall Great Wall to protect those who are not tall."

Chen Chao said: "This is the same as the martial artist's philosophy of cultivation. He does not rely on external things, but only looks at himself. No matter how high the city wall is, it is better to have a few more powerful people like the Demon Emperor."

"The scolding was so filthy."

Xie Nandu rolled his eyes at Chen Chao, "How many remnants are there in the north?"

Chen Chao thought for a moment and clicked his tongue: "You are a general, why do you come to ask me, a small guardian envoy, such a thing?"

Xie Nandu smiled and said nothing.

A small garrison commander? Only Chen Chao could say such a thing.

However, after taking a look at Xie Nandu, Chen Chao immediately became serious, "There are some monsters in the sea. They were originally planning to go south, but they retreated halfway when they realized that the situation was hopeless. However, apart from them, there should be no living people further north."

"That deadly place is impossible for ordinary soldiers to enter."

Chen Chao took a breath and said, "But I will go there with Yu Xiyi and others to make sure there are no monsters hiding there."

This sentence is cold and cruel, but it is indeed something he can say.

"Later, we will build an outpost in the north of the Demon Sea and let powerful monks stay here."

Chen Chao sighed calmly: "Let the people come to live in the north slowly, and this territory can slowly and truly integrate into us."

Xie Nandu said: "Are you afraid that you have never been able to completely destroy the demon race, leaving behind a seed that will become a prairie fire one day in the future?"

Chen Chao said: "It is much better than leaving the demon race behind. It is very difficult for a seed to grow into a towering tree."

"If it really happens, it is fate."

Chen Chao took a deep breath and said calmly: "I can't live forever."

Xie Nandu stopped talking.

Chen Chao also fell silent.

After a long time, he whispered: "Xilu is dead."

Xie Nandu thought for a while and said: "When I was in Mobei, I talked a lot with her. We can almost be considered friends."

Chen Chao didn't speak.

Whether he was willing to kill Xilu or not, there was one thing that was known to all.

Xilu didn't die, and the demon race would not be destroyed.

To destroy the demon race, Xilu must die.
