The villain is immortal

Curiosity isn't just killing cats, it's killing other felines as well.

Lu Gui decided to be an honest man in the future, and never ask His Majesty any more blind questions.

Shen Yue was already a habit of blowing his hair, seeing Lu Gui squatting down obediently, knowing that he had learned his lesson, he didn't say anything more.Instead, he asked about the two teams that Lu Gui had just mentioned: "How many are they, how high are their cultivation levels, and do they have any special features?"

Due to his professional habits, Lu Gui could remember some useful information even if he only glanced at it a few times.He recalled, and replied: "There should be hundreds of people in the two teams, and their cultivation levels vary, but they seem to be well-trained. As for the characteristics, they are deliberately covered up, so they can't be seen."

"When you saw them, how far was it from Ethereal City?"

After all, he has been a subordinate for a long time, Lu Gui knew what Shen Yue meant, so he replied directly: "I was delayed on the way, if they came directly to Void Spirit City, they should have arrived last night."

Arrived last night, there has been no movement in Ethereal City so far. It seems that they did not choose to act immediately.

Shen Yue guessed that these people were waiting for an opportunity - waiting for Lu Xiyan to leave.

It is estimated that they inquired about the news that the four cities in the east were about to surrender, and they wanted to take advantage of Lu Xiyan's going out to negotiate and the Void Spirit City seemed to be "empty".

It's a pity that this group of people was negligent and missed one thing, so that they made a wrong decision.

Of course, Shen Yue felt that with the minds of the four old foxes, it was very likely that they deliberately suppressed Shen Yue's identity and did not say anything about it. After all, the Twelve Cities of the Devil's Path often fight among themselves, and they just hoped for the other party's bad luck.

"Let's go, let's go for a stroll in Ethereal City." Shen Yue stretched out his hand to carry Lu Gui, and put him on his shoulder.

Shen Yue didn't have any fear at all, anyway, he already knew that these people were doing things, so instead of letting them know what they were doing secretly, it would be better to just lure them out.

For this purpose, Shen Yue suppressed his own cultivation by the way.

The spell with hidden cultivation lasts for a long time, as long as you don't deliberately cancel it, you can activate it again at any time.

When leading Lu Gui out of the mansion, Shen Yue silently followed two rows of attendants behind him.

Walking to the door, Shen Yue turned around and looked at the attendants.

"The Ethereal City has just stabilized recently, and besides, the city lord is not in the city at this time, for safety's sake, let us go out with you." The lead attendant spoke politely, seeing that Shen Yue didn't want anyone to follow, he immediately explained.

Shen Yue politely rejected his proposal.

Shen Yue went out to fish and took the bait, and there were so many people behind him, how could he play when the fish were startled?

The leader of the attendants expressed his embarrassment, but he did not forcefully argue with Shen Yue, but changed a few hidden guards to follow him from afar.

Shen Yue noticed it not long after he went out, and he didn't say anything, after all, this is his job, as long as he doesn't disturb his affairs, follow along.

Lu Gui originally thought that Shen Yue had other intentions when he said shopping, but he didn't expect Shen Yue to actually go shopping.

Ethereal City is divided into east and west districts. The east district is close to the city lord's mansion. It was originally a gathering place for people who have some relationship with the city lord.Later, when Lu Xiyan singled out the original city lord and others, Dongcheng District was naturally damaged more seriously.Even though it was slowly being repaired later, the number of people living in Dongcheng District had decreased by half.

Not many people died, but quite a few fled in fear.

Therefore, in the current Dongcheng District, there are many abandoned and damaged courtyards. During the day, there are workers repairing houses, but at night it is really deserted, which is in stark contrast to the bustle of Xicheng District.

Shen Yue first went around the crowded Xicheng District. The most crowded and crowded places are probably the storytelling places in teahouses and wine shops, as well as the small book stalls quietly selling scriptures.

Standing under the teahouse, listening to a few vivid words from the storyteller, Shen Yue felt that this scene seemed familiar.

But compared to the old stories before, at least the new ones are not life and death.After listening to a few passages, Shen Yue laughed and didn't look angry.

There were many things for sale in the night market, and Shen Yue picked out a few pleasing gadgets as he walked.Don't ask about the price, just leave a ninth-grade immortal jade directly, which is often dozens of times higher than the original price.

His lavish handwriting was very conspicuous, and soon attracted the attention of many people.

Some people who happened to see Shen Yue entering the city yesterday, recognized his appearance, and inevitably whispered a few words to the people around them excitedly, and couldn't help but look over.

The hidden guards following Shen Yue felt a little headache, afraid that something might go wrong.

However, they didn't know that Shen Yue was deliberately attracting attention, especially those outsiders who were dormant in the dark.

After finishing all these things, Shen Yue walked around the street twice, and then walked towards Dongcheng District seemingly carelessly.

Dongcheng District is obviously much deserted. Although the lights on the main road are bright, there are many small roads and dark alleys between the uninhabited mansions, which are always not illuminated.

Shen Yue deliberately hesitated, then walked further and further off, as if he had lost his way.

Slowly, a strange breath came up.

Shen Yue could feel that this group of people was indeed well-trained, and they were probably specially raised to do secret work. The current hidden guards in Void Spirit City can't quickly detect their existence, but well...

Still the same sentence, one force will drop ten meetings.

Shen Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks, he felt the strange aura gathering behind him, and he was about to launch an attack.

Shen Yue raised his hand and touched Lu Gui's head on his shoulder. Lu Gui's back arched slightly. As a professional, he also noticed the unusual aura.Shen Yue said softly, "Let's see how you behave."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Gui jumped out from Shen Yue's shoulder, transforming into a tall figure and disappearing in the darkness.

Shen Yue heard the sound of air flowing, and saw Lu Gui's hunting amber vertical pupils in the dark night.Although Lu Gui has often appeared in a cute form recently, he is also Lu Gui's most powerful hunter.

A cold light flashed on the blade of the scimitar, and it appeared from behind neatly, slitting the throat of the first person who plotted evil.

The smell of blood bloomed, and the enemy's short scream was covered in Lu Gui's palm, and it could not be heard.

The guards who followed Lu Gui from afar felt the bloody smell in the wind, only to realize that under the calm appearance, there was already a dark tide surging.Although the hidden guards felt a little slow in noticing it, they immediately came up to protect Shen Yue, separating Shen Yue from the shadow of swords, lights and swords in the darkness.

Shen Yue walked out from behind the hidden guards slowly, he raised his hand to block the hidden guards to the side: "Stay back a bit, so as not to be affected in a while."

The dark guard seemed puzzled, and just about to say something, he saw a long sword appearing in Shen Yue's hand.

Flames flew, and red shadows tumbling.

When the sword cut through the darkness, everyone heard a clear and long cry.

The flaming sword energy was like a phoenix bird flying away, sweeping across the place where the light could not shine, tearing up the darkness in an instant, and everything was clearly reflected in the firelight, fully exposed.

There were about 50 outsiders who uniformly concealed their appearance, and the first two who rushed forward had their necks wiped off by Lu Gui.

The rest of the people couldn't dodge when the sword energy passed by, and another dozen people were killed or injured.

Those who escaped by chance were still in shock, and saw the sea of ​​flames ignited from the place where the sword qi struck, and started a prairie fire, burning around them in a blink of an eye, and a curtain of fire rose up, making it impossible to enter or exit.

The well-arranged team has just met the "hostage" in their eyes, and it is already on the verge of defeat.

Shen Yue brushed the blade lightly with a calm expression on his face.

The firelight reflected his face, which looked flamboyant and gorgeous.

Lu Gui's figure was agile, and he was prepared long before Shen Yue raised his sword, and he retreated directly behind Shen Yue based on his experience.

"..." The hidden guards were stunned at this moment, and they couldn't tell who was protecting whom.

The rising high temperature made everyone in the fire curtain unable to hold on, and gradually fell down one by one.Shen Yue looked down at them, they looked about the same, turned his head to the dark guard and said, "Go back and ask your leader to come over and see how many are still alive and able to ask questions, he should know what to do."

After saying this, Shen Yue left with a normal expression.

******

Three hundred miles away from Ethereal City, the four city lords of the four cities to the east prepared a banquet. They seemed calm but actually a little nervous.After all, what he was facing was a new demon lord who held a god-killing gun and was likely to unify the demon world.

Although they had heard about Lu Xiyan before, but when they actually met, the four old foxes were still surprised that he was so young.

But they didn't dare to underestimate Lu Xiyan because of this, after all, that devilish aura and coercion, plus the conspicuous trace of blood on the God Killing Spear, everything made people a little breathless.

During the negotiation process, Lu Xi didn't talk much at the banquet. Most of the time, it was a few old foxes talking like lotus flowers, expressing their loyalty, but also trying to get some benefits for themselves.

However, talking too much does not mean an advantage.

When Lu Xiyan disagreed, as long as he simply said "no", it was enough to suppress the countless words of the old foxes.

In the end, the old foxes found that the result of the negotiation was just on the bottom line they expected. There was no extra benefit, but it happened to be acceptable.

Lu Xiyan was straightforward when negotiating, and when he got the result, he never dragged his feet when he left.

The four city lords who were already vassals originally wanted to stay with their new lord, and wanted to inquire about his preferences or show courteousness by the way.As a result, Lu Xiyan, who had not spoken much, actually said a long sentence: "There is someone waiting at home, and we have an appointment to return home before nightfall, so we won't stay any longer."

After Lu Xiyan left, the four old foxes entered the chatting mode again.

"Oh, I'm getting old, I can't even negotiate with young people." One of the old foxes began to mourn the spring and autumn, lamenting the passage of time.

"What does it have to do with being old? It's because the master is too strong and dare not argue with him." The second old fox changed his words very quickly, and he seemed to be very adaptable to his new identity.

"Alas..." The third most enterprising old fox, let out a long sigh.

"Why are you moaning and sighing again? Although you didn't get much benefit, you didn't suffer, either." The fourth of the old fox who was still addicted to eating melon seeds.

Old Fox No. [-] had a sad face on his face: "Why did he just fall in love with Shen Yue? He was so spoiled by that tone. My stomach hurts when I think about the scene I will face in the future."

The scene was silent for a while, and after a while, the four old foxes, who realized the problem, spoke slowly.

"It's still too late to give my little ancestor some gifts."

"It just so happens that the Mojie Mochizuki Festival is coming soon, so I'll go back and prepare."

"Watching the Moon Ceremony...the first festival after surrendering, and the Lord's tribute, we also have to prepare together.
