Chapter 528 Follow your heart
He originally thought that Xiao Chen had a close relationship with the villagers of Lingdao Village.
Who knows.
Xiao Chen was actually a mortal who had just entered the secular world and was not even registered as an immortal in Youfan City.
Are you crazy to fight with a group of unrelated people and burn thousands of them to death?
"If you want to stop me, just stop me. Why do you need a reason?" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Okay, okay, okay, if I don't grind you to dust today, I, Ye De, will write my name upside down!" Ye De said angrily.
He doesn't understand how there can be such a fool in the world!
Harm others and disadvantage yourself!
If he doesn't mind his own business, with Xiao Chen's talent, he will surely become famous when he grows up.
Even if you live in troubled times, you can still live a free and comfortable life.
Because of his momentary heroic spirit, his Black Mountain Army lost thousands of elite soldiers in vain, and Xiao Chen will also lose his life.
Both sides suffer!
Why bother?
Yue Shanqi's eyes flashed with lightning. He stared at Xiao Chen for a few breaths, his expression slightly changed. "There is a faint trace of turbid energy on the surface of the body. It is indeed from the secular world. It has not been long since he entered the outer world."
The outside world is full of beautiful natural beauty and rich spiritual energy. Even for mortals, it is impossible for foul air to accumulate on their body surface.
But although Xiao Chen's talent is so terrifying, there are still traces of foul air on his body, which shows that Ye Renxiong did not lie and his true nature comes from the secular world.
Coming from the secular world, their fighting power is so amazing. If they were born in the outside world, how strong would they be?
can not imagine.
When Wenlong heard this, surprise appeared in his eyes.
Secular people?
How can it be!
"Would you like to be my disciple?" After hesitating for a moment, Yue Shanqi spoke.
There were not many such talented people in Heishan City, so he wanted to take him in as his disciple.
Of course, he had no good intentions.
He has been improving his skills recently and needs someone to test his skills.
It could be smashed to pieces by thunder at any time.
It is just right for a young man from Daxia to do this.
"I don't want to." Xiao Chen refused.
He didn't think it was noble, but he couldn't defect to the enemy country.
Besides, Yue Shanqi seemed kind and tried to recruit him, but he sensed a malicious intent.
This old guy has no good intentions towards him.
Yue Shanqi's face froze slightly, his smile faded, and he asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
He didn't expect that with his status, he would be rejected when he took the initiative to accept a disciple, and he felt unhappy.
"afraid."
"Then you still dare to reject me?"
"Because I won't die!" Xiao Chen smiled.
Thinking of the sword pill, he felt full of confidence!
The trump card that I have held for so long is finally going to be used.
He was both reluctant and looking forward to it.
Yue Shan asked curiously, "Do you think Ye Renxiong can protect you? Don't dream!"
Xiao Chen sneered and said nothing.
How could he possibly rely on Ye Renxiong!
"I'll give you a moment to think about it. If you are willing to be my disciple, then kneel down and kowtow." Yue Shanqi was unwilling to give up Xiao Chen, such an excellent test subject, and decided to give him another chance.
"Ye Renxiong, although he is not from your Youfan City, he was killed in front of your city. In this way, you cannot be free from responsibility." At this time, Wenlong suddenly spoke.
"What do you want?" Ye Renxiong said, having expected that the other party would not give up easily.
Wen Long sneered, "I'll give you two choices. One, we'll bring the Black Mountain Army to razing your Youfan City, leaving no one alive. Two, you'll hand over half of your Youfan City's inhabitants to me, and half of its wealth, and we'll live in peace."
Everyone in Youfan City turned pale.
Wenlong is a well-known ghost cultivator who loves to extract the souls of living people and refine ghost spirits.
Over the years, countless civilians of Daxia have died at his hands, at least millions.
If you are taken away by him, there is no other outcome except death by having your soul sucked out. It is more terrifying than death!
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Ye Renxiong, breathing rapidly, praying in their hearts that Ye Renxiong would never agree.
Ye Renxiong was silent for a moment, then said, "The number of people and wealth has been halved."
boom!
Everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning.
What does this mean?
Sacrifice a quarter of the city’s residents to Wenlong?
"City Lord, no! If he takes us away, we will die miserably!"
"Ye Renxiong, you bastard, damn it, you actually want to hand us over to the Heiyu Dynasty!"
"Are you worthy of being the city lord?"
One in four people didn’t know whether they would be selected, and many people cursed.
Ye Renxiong looked indifferent and ignored Wenlong, looking at him and waiting for his answer.
Wenlong was shrouded in ghostly aura, like a demon from the underworld. He shook his head and said, "You have no right to bargain with me! Whatever I say, that's it."
Ye Renxiong fell silent again.
Although half of the citizens and half of the wealth is a bit too much, it is not unacceptable.
Wenlong only wants some civilians, so that his Youfan Army can be preserved intact and there will be no serious damage.
The loss will be made up in a dozen years by having more children.
He felt a little distressed about half of his wealth, as it was all real money, an astronomical figure.
But there is no choice now.
If a real fight breaks out, we may not be able to defend it.
But more than 90% of the foundation of his Ye family will inevitably be destroyed.
"This matter is too big, we need to discuss it."
Ye Renxiong turned around and met with the patriarchs of several major families in Youfan City and began to discuss.
He doesn't care about the opinions of the common people.
But he couldn't ignore the opinions of those ancient tribes.
"Take my word, fight them! What are you afraid of?"
"Fight? Fight for what? You just go ahead!"
"Although their demands are excessive, they are acceptable. Just agree to them!"
"Accept it. If you want to hand over the person, you do it, I won't!"
After some debate, the Undercity giants finally reached an agreement reluctantly.
The other half of the city's inhabitants were selected from the common people, and as for the wealth, each family contributed a portion.
Upon hearing this result, the citizens of Youfan City looked as pale as death, as if the sky had fallen.
"Mom, I'm getting married next month, and I don't want to die!"
"Dad, save me, save me!"
"Old man, what should I do if you leave?"
Soon, Ye Renxiong's confidants began to select people.
Those who were chosen were the elderly, the weak, women and children from ordinary families!
"Send some young and strong people here, don't just pick out useless people for me!" Wenlong frowned.
Afterwards, some poor young men were also pulled into the prisoner group!
For a moment, the cries were deafening!
Countless families are facing separation and death.
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
Thick black clouds rolled in, covering the sky and the sun in an instant.
The sky and the earth suddenly turned dark.
The hearts of the captives also turned to ashes.
When the enemy invaded, the city lord subdued his own people with his own hands and gave them to the enemy to extract their souls and refine them into ghosts!
Looking at the desperate faces and listening to the cries coming from my ears.
Xiao Chen was silent.
Human hearts are sometimes more poisonous than demons!
His palm glowed, and a sword ball appeared in his hand.
The sword ball is extremely scarlet, more enchanting than blood.
But it is Xiao Chen's last hope.
"Master, I know you hate the demon race. I wanted to use this sword pill on the demon race, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't do it!" Xiao Chen said to himself.
The sword ball glowed and trembled slightly, as if responding to Xiao Chen.
A gentle voice echoed in Xiao Chen's ears: "Just follow your heart!"
"Thank you Master!"
Soon, the prisoners were almost all selected.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were driven aside by the Youfan Guards, crowded together densely, their expressions filled with fear and despair.
Those who were chosen were ordinary people with no power or influence. Faced with power, they were unable to resist and could only endure it silently.
Yue Shanqi looked at Xiao Chen and asked impatiently, "Have you thought it over? Are you willing to become my disciple?"
