Chapter 708: The Change of Fengtian, the So-called Jianghu
This giant sword is as black as ink, with complex runes engraved on it. At this moment, it is stuck in the ground, as if it is connected to the earth, exuding a strong aura that makes people stop and not move forward.
After glancing at the giant sword, Gu Xiu moved his gaze upwards.
On the attic next to him, a man in red clothes decorated with plum blossoms was holding two charming women, one on each side. He glanced at the people below and said frivolously:
"The demon cultivators from Beiming will go back to where they came from."
"Further ahead."
"You demons are not qualified to enter."
As soon as these words came out, before Gu Xiu could even speak, the others behind him could not help but shout angrily:
"What do you mean?"
"We've already successfully passed the customs, why do you want us to go back?"
"I'm from Zhongzhou. I went to Beiming on business and now I'm planning to go back. Why can't we go home?"
"..."
Like Gu Xiu, they were all people who had just passed the gate checkpoint from Beiming. Some of them were caravans traveling between Beiming and Zhongzhou, some were wandering cultivators, and disciples from various sects. Usually, because of the appointment with Yuntian, these people could pass smoothly.
But this time the inspection was extremely strict, striving to confirm the identity, origin and purpose of every person coming and going. This had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction at the door before, and now this man showed up again, and everyone's dissatisfaction finally couldn't help but burst out.
only……
In response to these people's questioning and rebuking, the man in red, who was still hugging women on both sides, slowly flashed a bit of coldness in his eyes.
next moment.
Then a red light flashed in the eyes of the man in red clothes:
"Why?"
Then, the people who reacted most strongly in the crowd suddenly stopped talking and stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.
Then the red-clothed man raised his eyebrows at the beautiful girl beside him. The beautiful girl immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and put it to his mouth. He drank it all in one gulp and smacked his lips. Then he narrowed his eyes and said:
"I can kill all of you."
The words fell.
Suddenly, those frozen people fell down one after another.
Although their bodies were still alive, their spirits seemed to have been torn away alive, and they had lost control of their souls, and they could not even stand steadily.
died!
Just die!
"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you? Brother, wake up!"
"Damn it, what kind of magic did you use?"
"Give my brother back his life! You dare to hurt someone at the North Gate? You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
"..."
Many friends of the deceased were filled with grief and anger at the time. Some of them impulsively flashed and rushed towards the attic, intending to kill the man in red clothes embroidered with plum blossoms on the spot.
only……
"This... this is the Soul Separation Technique!"
"Red plum blossoms, soul-stirring, plum painting screen!"
"You are Mei Huaping from Suling Palace!"
At this moment, a scream was suddenly heard.
Someone recognized the other person's identity.
Suling Palace, plum painting screen.
The appearance of these two names made several people who were about to rush out stop in their tracks. There was already anger in their eyes, but they dared not take another step forward no matter what.
Just because this name represents power!
Suling Palace is one of the holy places in Zhongzhou. Its most powerful method is the use of the soul technique, which is extremely unpredictable.
Mei Huaping has even brought his sect's soul-separation technique to the pinnacle. Although his realm is only at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he is still a genius on the list. Although his cultivation is only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, in the few battles he has fought, he has killed powerful warriors at the Void Refinement Realm.
more importantly.
According to rumors, Mei Huaping had an extremely evil personality. Sometimes he was a chivalrous knight, and sometimes he was a romantic and suave poet, but more often, there was only one rumor about him.
Cruel and ruthless, he will never let go of any grudge!
It is said that this person once competed with others for the title of the most popular courtesan in Zuixian Tower in Zhongzhou, but was ultimately defeated. As a result, that night, he abolished the cultivation of the person who stole the limelight, cut off his limbs, and hung him in front of the door of Zuixian Tower. After that, the person's master wanted to ask for an explanation, but Mei Huaping slaughtered the entire family, even the children were not spared.
There are many similar things.
Naturally, this person left behind a notorious reputation.
"Mr. Mei, I've heard for a long time that you like to do justice and that you are an upright gentleman. But I don't know why you acted like this today. We have already passed the inspection of the North Gate and are allowed to pass. You are blocking us here now. I wonder... what do you mean?" Someone spoke in a kind tone, obviously not daring to anger this living devil.
But I saw that the plum painting screen had a smile on its face:
"Since you know that I enjoy doing good deeds, you should also know that what I hate most in my life is the cultivators of the Demon Sect."
"This time I am on duty to guard this city."
"I don't care whether you pass the inspection or not. Anyway, I'm here. Not even a fly from Beiming can pass through the North Gate. If you want to stay at the North Gate temporarily, just give me enough spirit stones and be obedient. I won't hurt you. But if you want to use this to enter Zhongzhou..."
"There's no way. No one can get through except the corpse."
Although he had a smile on his face, the words he said made everyone present feel a chill.
"Friend Mei, we travel back and forth from the North Gate dozens of times every year, and we've never had any problems before. You can't do this."
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Mei, I went to Beiming to train. The sect ceremony is about to be held, and I am looking forward to returning to participate. You can't do this."
"Major Mei, although we are from Beiming, I am not a demon cultivator. You can't do this."
"..."
Everyone spoke up and wanted to plead for mercy.
It's just a pity...
"I don't care what happened in the past, but now that I'm here, I must ensure that none of the remnants of the Beiming people can enter Zhongzhou." Mei Huaping sneered and said:
"As for whether you are from Zhongzhou or Beiming."
"What does it have to do with me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's thoughts of discussion were completely cut off, and everyone's face darkened.
"Don't feel unconvinced." Mei Huaping withdrew her arms from the two beauties, then slowly stood up and walked to the railing, looking down at the crowd below:
"During the Sealing Heaven Incident, the demonic scum of Beiming had already been preparing to make a move."
"It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go."
"If anyone is unconvinced and wants to force their way through, feel free to do so."
"I also happen to want..."
"Slay demons and monsters, and gain merits!"
Mei Huaping's words were justified, but everyone present only saw one meaning on his face.
I bullied you.
What can you do with me?
Naturally, everyone gnashed their teeth, especially the monk from Beiming, who was even more indignant. This person kept calling them a demon and a scum, but everyone present could tell that he was deliberately targeting them and even planned to kill them and say that it was his own achievement in exorcising demons.
In such a comparison, who is the devil?
Can be biased.
Thinking about the opponent's strength and then thinking about their own abilities, even if they were unwilling to accept it, they could only turn around and leave after weighing the pros and cons, planning to temporarily leave Beimenguan and make long-term plans.
However, just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, they heard Mei Huaping speak again:
"I forgot to tell you that anyone entering the city at this time, I have reason to suspect, is most likely a spy from the Beiming Demon Sect."
"Therefore, in order to prevent the Demon Sect's spies from taking advantage of the situation, for the next period of time, no one is allowed to enter the North Gate, but only to leave. I would like to remind you that there are limited guest rooms at the North Gate at the moment. If you don't want to stay out all night and be mistaken for a Demon Sect spy, it's best to find a room as soon as possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone glared at him angrily.
Allowed in but not out?
Trapping them here?
They are not even allowed to stay out overnight?
It’s so deceiving!
But at this time, the situation was stronger than people. Even if everyone was unwilling in their hearts, they dared not say much. They could only look for a place to stay temporarily. They walked around the several major inns at the North Gate.
Everyone's faces became increasingly ugly.
"Are you kidding me? You want 50,000 spirit stones for a guest room. Why don't you just go and rob someone?"
"You said so? It costs 100,000 spirit stones, and you can only stay for one night, and you have to buy it again the next day?"
"It's fine if we stay in the guest rooms, but why do you force us to eat a table of dishes that cost 80,000 spirit stones? What kind of dishes are you serving and why are they so expensive?"
They found that when they entered this place, they were like fish on the chopping board.
The most ordinary guest room costs 50,000 spirit stones, and you can't even stay there permanently. The price may increase again every day. Moreover, after you stay here, you have to eat some crappy dishes. The cheapest table costs 80,000 spirit stones. In other words, if you want to stay here for a day, you will need to spend at least 130,000 spirit stones.
This is no small amount.
Especially those who often need to travel back and forth between Beiming and Zhongzhou, most of them are people who travel back and forth between the two regions to make a living. They can give out hundreds or thousands of spirit stones, or even tens of thousands of spirit stones with a gritted teeth.
It can cost over 100,000 spirit stones...
This is definitely not a small amount.
Not to mention that they had no idea how long Mei Huaping would keep the city closed.
Worse.
If someone doesn't want to stay, they plan to stay anywhere else in the city.
This doesn't work either.
A curfew is imposed at the North Gate. Anyone who stays outside before midnight will be treated as a spy from the Demon Sect and will be arrested or even killed on the spot.
Some people also noticed that there were bloodstains everywhere on the streets of the city that had not been cleaned up.
obviously.
I'm afraid that many people have died here before them.
Avenge?
Denounce injustice?
Let’s talk about it first as long as we can survive!
Not to mention others, even Jiang Ruochu, who had been hiding his identity, couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw this scene: "I've heard before that some city guards would indeed use this method to make a lot of money. I used to think that such a thing would never happen, but I never thought that I would actually encounter such a thing."
"Suling Palace is not a small sect. Since Mei Huaping can become the sect's prodigy, he is naturally not an ordinary cultivator. It is impossible for him to do this for such a small amount of spirit stones." Gu Xiu shook his head and said.
Jiang Ruochu was dissatisfied: "Do you mean he could have some difficulties?"
"No, it's not a hardship." Gu Yuxiu shook his head and turned to look up at the attic, where Mei Huaping was once again in the arms of a beautiful woman, drinking and having fun, laughing unrestrainedly.
"He just..."
"I prefer this feeling of deciding life and death with just one word."
"He is a proud member of a famous and upright sect, how could he do such a thing? Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment..." Jiang Ruochu was indignant, but halfway through her words, she thought of the Sealing Heaven Incident, where even the Heavenly Dao Oath had been invalidated. Who would still be afraid of the so-called heaven's punishment? She had no choice but to say:
"Isn't he afraid of bringing shame to his own sect?"
"You also know that he is a genius." Gu Xiu shook his head.
Jiang Ruochu was choked.
Yes.
The word "Tianjiao" is more than just a title.
What's more.
No one has ever said that.
All geniuses must be good people.
Quite the opposite.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, geniuses are often judged by their strength and talent. The more talented they are, the stronger they must be, and naturally the more power they can control.
It is not ruled out that there are people like Ye Wentian who are only devoted to seeking the truth.
But more.
In fact, it is still about enjoying the supreme power that powerful strength brings to oneself, and the joy that one can decide life and death with a single word.
this moment.
Jiang Ruochu's face turned completely ugly.
She knew that the Sealing Heaven Change would cause chaos in heaven and earth. Her master had even told her before she left the sect that this time's experience outside would be completely different from that of five hundred years ago.
But she didn't expect it.
Such changes happened so quickly.
Gu Xiu, on the other hand, remained calm and even asked with a smile, "Don't you want to travel the world with me?"
Jiang Ruochu was stunned.
But Gu Xiu took a step and walked towards the attic where Mei Huaping was.
"this."
“It’s just the Jianghu.”
