Patriarch out of coffin

"This way, quickly!"

"There are others over here, come quickly!"

The second district in the east of Lieyang City is in chaos.

Countless officers and soldiers, armed with lanterns and weapons, were on the streets paved at night to capture civilians and monks who had fallen into madness due to the rat-trafficking technique.

Innocent people are shivering at home.

There are also those who take advantage of the chaos to do evil things.

Lieyang City is so big that even the Eastern Second District is close to 500 square kilometers. Even if all the officers, soldiers and sergeants are dispatched, they cannot take care of every corner. What's more, although the situation in the Eastern Second District is the most severe, other areas are not without it.

What's more, the unwillingness to cooperate has added huge trouble to the control of rat labor.

"I don't have big teeth! I was born with buck teeth! Don't scratch me! I'm not sick!"

A man of about thirty years old was being held by a group of officers and soldiers. He kept shouting that he was wronged and wanted to be unchained. There was a woman with tears on her face and a child of seven or eight years old jumping on him.

After sending Zhang Duo'er back to the chaotic Lianjun Pavilion, Xia Yi took her to the East Second District. This was the first thing Zhao Yu and others saw.

Zhao Yu immediately showed his unbearable expression and wanted to step forward to stop all this, but Tian Qi held him back.

"There is something like a mouse among the three souls that is eating away at him. What is it?"

"The art of rat servitude is a special talent that can only be awakened by the demon king of the rat tribe." Xia Yi replied.

"Rat demon? Demon king?!"

Zhao Yu and others had the same reaction as everyone else who heard the news for the first time: they were shocked and disbelieving.

But seeing is believing, and he felt the weird things in person, and Tian Qi was the first to accept it.

He said solemnly: "There is still a rat demon king now? Is there a flaw in which demon hunting ground? The demon king is born... we must respectfully ask the king to surrender as soon as possible!"

This sentence contains a lot of information. The first thing Xia Yi pays attention to is the sentence in the middle: "Monster hunting ground?"

The remnant of the newly gathered six-star holy soul has been exhausted, and Xia Yi, who has recovered to level 302, has fallen back into the extremely slow recovery process before.

If there are monsters, eating certain nourishing foods will greatly increase the speed, allowing Xia Yi to return to his peak faster.

"Senior, don't you know?"

Tian Qi looked over in surprise. Obviously, Xia Yi should know this news.

Xia Yi won't explain anything. For example, he used to practice in deep mountains and old forests. He doesn't know about worldly things. He won't be able to deceive people, and it will only add to the jokes.

He just looked at Zhao Yu quietly.

Zhao Yu was startled and said quickly: "Although the demon clan has long been extinct, the strong men back then did not kill them all. After all, many holy souls need the assistance of the demon clan to condense, so every country has its own monster hunting ground. , we in Dazheng also have three, and they support many demon clans."

Xia Yi nodded clearly. In the past, the demon clan, which was ten times more powerful than the human race, did not exterminate the human race. On the one hand, there were many conflicts within the demon clan, and on the other hand, some demons regarded the human race as a reserve food.

Things are changing.

"What's going on with the respectful invitation to the king? Where have all the kings gone?" Xia Yi asked again.

Don’t you know this? Tian Qi is even more surprised. In his heart, Yi Xia is a strong man who is infinitely close to the king. He is like a star in the sky. How could he not get any news?

Zhao Yu continued to explain: "To be honest, I am not entirely sure where the kings went. The news I know is the same as what is being circulated today. The kings discovered another world in the starry sky and they all went there.

It is said that it is not an ordinary place. You must have heard of the legend of Father God. Our Holy Soul Continent was transformed by the three souls of Father God, and that world seems to be transformed by the seven souls..."

"Seven souls?" Xia Yi said thoughtfully, "Can your royal family contact the king?"

"Yes, my father can respectfully ask the king to surrender."

This is a troublesome thing, but it is also a good thing for killing the rat demon god Huo Guang.

Xia Yi thought for a moment and said, "I understand. It's already getting late. Tomorrow you can send someone to take the rail carriage to Nanji to report to King Zheng. Tonight, help me deal with a group of people who have been corrupted by the rat labor technique."

After finding an officer and soldier to explain his identity, Xia Yi and others were naturally led to Song Qu.

It was a temporarily requisitioned inn. Besides Song Qu, there were three other people there.

Ma Chen didn't mention the other two, one of whom was a middle-aged man with a height of more than eight feet, a gentle appearance and a majestic appearance - Sun Sheng, the governor of Zhizhou.

The other person has a long-standing reputation. If Xia Yi looks like a 70-year-old man, this person is 80 years old and looks like he is dying.

Zhizhou Bo - Fang Yu.

This old man, who had been practicing at home with great concentration in order to break through the six-star Kaiyang and extend his life, was also shocked by today's events.

Of course, even though he looks older, no one would think that he is older than Xia Yi. After all, the lifespan of Six Star Kaiyang is dozens of times higher than that of Five Star Yuheng.

After observing Xia Yi for a while, he and Sun Sheng both called Xia Yi senior, then both turned around and cupped their hands and said, "Greetings to His Highness the Second Prince."

"Master Zhou Shou, Master Zhou Bo, there is no need to be polite." Zhao Yu said hurriedly: "I wonder what the current situation is like? How many people have been harmed by...the rat clan demon king?"

Sun Sheng, the governor of the state, was silent for a while.

Fang Yu's old face almost wrinkled together and lamented: "What a disaster. According to the statistics of Ma Chen's subordinates, more than a thousand people have been affected directly and indirectly, and the number is still increasing. It will exceed at least two Thousands of people! And so far, the doctors in the city have not been able to give an effective treatment method."

Doctor? Xia Yi frowned and looked at Song Qu.

Song Qu shook his head slightly.

Xia Yi suddenly understood. They knew that most people could not be saved, but if they didn't try their best, they would hardly be able to bear the responsibility of thousands of people being killed or injured at one time during peacetime!

"Actually, a thousand people is considered a small number." Xia Yi attracted everyone's attention, "The demon king was in a weird state, and his strength was very low, so he was seriously injured and repelled by me. If he was in good condition, the entire East Second District would probably be defeated by me now. Everywhere!

Of course, if that is the case, we can also find out the clues earlier."

Fang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I dare to ask, where did the demon king come from?"

"Song Qu told you, Duan He, aide to the prime minister's office!" Xia Yi said.

"Duan He?" Zhao Yu and Tian Qi, who heard about this for the first time, couldn't help but be surprised, and recalled that Xia Yi asked them for Duan He's portrait...

Xia Yi nodded to them: "It's Duan He. To be honest, I don't know much about why this happened... We'll talk about the specifics tomorrow. Where are the people from the Holy Academy? Luo Ti didn't come? The dean of the Holy Academy Not coming either?"

"Vice Dean Luo went to summon the teachers of the Holy Academy and the students from the intermediate class to come and help. Senior Dean Zhao Lieyang is not in Lieyang City at this time."

Xia Yi understood: "Don't wait for him. Let's come first. Those who can be treated will be treated immediately. Those who cannot be cured will be killed!"

With the decisive word "kill" coming out of his mouth, Fang Yu's old face showed a little embarrassment, "Senior, the vindicated prince, are you sure... there is nothing that can be cured?"

Xia Yi glanced at Song Qu and nodded at the same time.

"We take responsibility..."

"I am the governor of Zhizhou!" Sun Sheng sighed and interrupted: "Senior, I have offended you. I have to issue this order. Anyone who has been infected by the rat bondage technique and can no longer be cured... kill him!"

Xia Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Come on, monks with four stars or above. Don't let low-level monks watch when you kill people. Song Qu should have told you about the characteristics of the Rat Trap Technique. Those who feel that the three souls are damaged can no longer resist the Rat Trap Technique. , it must stop.”

"Wait, killing means..."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but said.

Xia Yi shook his head, Song Qu had an expressionless face, Sun Sheng clenched his fists with hatred, Fang Yu closed his eyes and said at the same time: "Just kill them."

As this sound fell.

A bloody night in Lieyang City began.
