Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

After nightfall, feasts were held in several ancient cities where the human race was stationed.

The leaders and outstanding disciples of each Taoist sect were invited to the city lord's mansion for a banquet. The city was brightly lit, and the aroma of wine and meat filled the streets.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers commandeered all the vacant buildings in the city and set up wine tables inside, with laughter and laughter everywhere.

The main hall of the city lord's palace is a place used for discussing affairs and entertaining distinguished guests. Those who can sit here for banquets are either powerful figures in various sects, or outstanding disciples, or at the worst, they are well-known casual cultivators.

Li Guanhai naturally also sat in the main hall, but his position was not arranged very far in the front, but was arranged with Xie Tianjun and other peers.

Although he has now reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm and is qualified to be on an equal footing with Xiang Rongyan and other Taoist leaders, he is still a junior after all, so he still has to pay attention to some rules.

Moreover, Li Guanhai didn't care about the seats at all. It would be the same wherever he sat. Sitting with Xiang Rongyan and the others would be awkward because he had nothing to say.

But sitting with Xie Tianjun and others is different. We are all young heroes, there is no generation gap, and we have many common topics.

We are all young people, and we are all young heroes who are ranked high in the upper world. When we sit together, the most talked about topics are of course about cultivation and martial arts.

Among them, Xu Qingqiu enjoys it. She is not a talkative person, but as soon as she talks about martial arts, she will open up her chatterbox and chatter endlessly.

No, she was so engrossed and selfless in chatting that she didn't even bother to eat the delicacies in front of her.

Lin Luoying sat on Li Guanhai's right hand, holding a silver pot in her bare hands and pouring wine for him.

Li Ningshuang was sitting on the left hand side of Li Guanhai, with a smile on her beautiful face, but she was very dissatisfied with Lin Luoying's transgression.

Originally, she had always been the one to do things like pouring tea and wine.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, she would not care about these trivial matters on such occasions, otherwise she would only be laughed at by others.

The food and drinks tonight are extremely rich. In addition to satisfying the monks' appetite, these delicious food and wines also have strong medicinal power, which can help the monks strengthen their bodies and speed up their absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, this kind of food is expensive, and generally only sects can afford to eat it every day. This is why the cultivation of disciples from sects is often higher than that of casual cultivators.

The sect is rich and powerful, excluding cultivation resources. The wine and meat they eat on weekdays are great tonics and have significant help in cultivation. This is something that a solitary casual cultivator cannot compare with.

Therefore, since ancient times, those who have achieved success in practicing as a casual cultivator are all outstanding among people.

Li Guanhai drank the wine poured by Lin Luoying himself and listened to Xu Qingqiu's chatter, feeling very relaxed.

At this time, he saw a man walking out from the back of the main hall and came to Xia Houzhuo, and Fu Er said something to him.

Xia Houzhuo frowned slightly, nodded, and motioned for him to retreat.

Xiang Rongyan was as attentive as his hair and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Xiahou? What happened?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at the host.

Xia Houzhuo glanced at everyone, smiled and sighed: "Originally, there is a big banquet today, and you should have a good time. I shouldn't say some disappointing words to disturb your mood, but the situation is a bit serious, so I have to say it."

Hearing this, everyone straightened their backs and became serious.

Linghu Chengfeng said: "Senior Xiahou, please tell me, after guarding the East China Sea for so many years, how many times have we been disturbed? What is so urgent? Could it be that the ferocious beast in the depths of the East China Sea has moved strangely? "

"No." Xia Houzhuo shook his head, and then said: "Do you still remember the evil spirit that broke the seal and escaped a few days ago? I just got the news that two small sects discovered the traces of the evil spirit, and sent strong men to join forces to kill them. All dead."

Xiang Rongyan saw that he still hadn't finished speaking, so he quickly asked: "What happens next?"

Xia Houzhuo shook his head and said: "Then the evil spirit came to the door and slaughtered the two sects, and no one survived."

After saying the matter, the main hall fell into silence.

After a long time, Linghu Chengfeng asked: "Isn't there any major sect or orthodoxy sitting nearby?"

"No, it's far away." Xia Houzhuo shook his head.

Xiang Rongyan said: "The people who died in the hands of that thing have all had their blood and origins sucked away, which means that it will continue to grow like this. If we let it go, it will be difficult to deal with it when it has become powerful in the future." ”

Linghu Chengfeng suddenly thought of something and said, "That evil spirit has ruthless methods. Could it be a remnant of the demon clan?"

Xiang Rongyan said: "I have never seen that thing with my own eyes, so I don't know."

Everyone looked at Li Guanhai, Xu Qingqiu, and the three Han Hao brothers from Jinding Immortal Mansion. They were the only ones present when the evil spirit broke through the seal that day.

Li Guanhai said: "It shouldn't be a demon. When the seal was broken, I didn't feel any demonic energy leaking out. It was a very evil negative force, very pure."

Everyone was silent again.

At this time, Xie Tianjun stood up and said: "Seniors, you must first make peace with the outside world. The East China Sea front line cannot survive without our seniors, but it does not matter if we, the insignificant juniors, leave. Why not leave the task of eradicating evil spirits to us?"

Xiang Rongyan said directly: "No, it's too dangerous. Although you have achieved some success, this kind of thing is no joke. What if something happens to you?"

Zheng Rong answered, "I think what Master Xiang said makes sense. It's better to consider this matter in the long run."

At this time, Xu Qingqiu also stood up, "The cost of long-term planning is that more innocent people will be killed. This matter is imminent. If it is handled one day later, more people will be killed. I agree with Xie Tianjun's proposal."

Zheng Rong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qingqiu, have you forgotten what I told you during the day, and what you promised me!"

Xu Qingqiu said: "Elder Zheng, I know you are worried about me, but the purpose of our Lingxu Mountain is to protect the people of the world. Now the evil creatures are harming the living beings. How can I, as a disciple of Lingxu Mountain, sit idly by?"

"You!" Zheng Rong was very angry with her, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Li Guanhai said: "Senior Zheng, don't be angry. I think it's better to let me lead them to chase the evil creature. Don't worry, seniors, I will protect them with me."

As soon as this was said, Xiang Rongyan and others looked at each other, as if they were thinking about whether this was feasible.

After a long time, Xiang Rongyan was the first to speak: "Well, Tianjun, just follow Young Master Guanhai and treat it as a training. The future survival of the upper world will be handed over to young people like you. If you want to become talented, you must first be polished. How can you keep it in a greenhouse forever?"
