Talisman Emperor
Chapter 95 – Storm In City
Zhang General's shop located on the busiest street in Pine Mist City had turned into ruins in one night.
Three months have passed since then.
On the busiest street, there were rows of rows of shops and a bustling crowd, everywhere so crowded, yet only this place was silent as a grave. As long as hikers passed through this place, they would definitely avoid it from afar, as if they were so afraid they would be stained by a trace of misfortune.
This place was still in ruins, and there were still dark red bloodstains between the cracks of the shattered roof tiles. This was the blood of general goods shop owner Zhang and the 37 craft talisman disciples. Although their corpses had already decayed and vanished, the blood was impossible to remove, and seemed to tell of terror, anger, and hatred in their hearts …
A merchant brought a group of tall and strong servants to arrive here, he liked this land and wanted to build a shop on top of the ruins.
“Rabut! I have already asked the Li Clan and I have spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land. In the future, this is my territory, Mr. Cui. Quickly clean these ruins and this filthy blood and smell, and use the water and flush it clean for me! ”The big-time merchant shouted loudly and instructed, but he noticed that the powerful group of servants behind him had a reluctant expression and was unwilling to step forward, and he could not help but fury. "What to worry about? Are you all afraid of being tainted by Jinx's misfortune, or afraid of being dealt with by the Li Clan? Didn't I say that I've already asked for the Li Clan ?! ”
"My God, so many people have died here, even if we open a shop here, it seems unlucky, right? Moreover, Jinx stayed here for four years, who knows if we will be tainted by his misfortune .. "A servant has a bitter expression on his face as he explains.
“Yes, currently, everyone in the city related to Jinx has been killed, and even the things he used before have been completely burned by them. ”
"My lord, it's okay if we don't take this piece of land!"
All the servants spoke in unison and voiced worry in their hearts.
"Do you all want to live or not?" The Cui merchant roared loudly. “Start working! If you don't clear these ruins tonight, I'll have a lowly servant head! "
The servants were silent like crickets in the winter, they could only grit their teeth and walk forward before starting to clean up Zhang's common goods store that had already turned into ruins.
Merchant Cui's expression eased as he looked at this and muttered with disdain. "A bunch of trash, trash like Jinx. If I were a goddamn member of the Li Clan, I would kill all of them for daring to disobey me.. ”
"Hiss, who's that guy. What a dense killing intent, it was as if he was walking out of a sea of corpses and blood! "
"This is Chen Xi! This Chen Xi! She ... she's back! "
"Chen Xi's? The jinx? "
“Sial, I must quickly avoid it. The Li Clan would probably exterminate my entire family if I had the slightest connection with it. ”
On the distant street, many high-pitched cries suddenly sounded from the crowded crowd, as if they had seen an unimaginable ferocious beast, and their faces all turned deathly pale as they fled desperately.
Instantly, the entire street was filled with streams of people who were crying and shouting as they fled as if they had discovered something extremely terrifying.
"My god, Jinx has returned!"
"Let's run away too!"
"Yes, yeah. ”
All the servants had long faces, and if not for them fearing the power and influence of Merchant Cui, they might have long since escaped.
"Shut up!" Merchant Cui's expression flickered between various expressions, yet he gritted his teeth and shouted explosively. "He's just a piece of trash who only knows how to make amulets, what are you all afraid of? Those people fled because they were afraid of the Li Clan, but I have a close relationship with the Li Clan, is there a need to escape? "
As long as Merchant Cui spoke, the streets woven with streams of people had become completely devoid of a single figure, and the shops on both sides of the street closed their doors loudly, saying, seems to avoid the plague god .
The atmosphere became silent, strange, and oppressive, as if it was the calm before the storm.
"No need to worry, do what you are supposed to do, you will receive ten times the extra wage for today!" Merchant Cui took a deep breath before speaking slowly.
Money moves people's hearts, and it can also be ordered about gods and ghosts.
When they heard that they would receive an additional ten times their wages, even though the servants still had very unsightly looks, no one chose to leave. This is exactly the charm of money.
The step! The step! The step!
A wave of footsteps rang out on the cold and gloomy road, his voice soft as the wind floated, yet heavy as it hit the drum. Each step struck their hearts, causing their vital energy and blood to surge, and their breathing to become heavy.
A tall and thin figure walked among the sounds of these strange footsteps that caused one to tremble in fear, his expression ice-cold like an emotionless corpse, yet his eyes were blood-red, as if he was a dead body, and his dark red eyes were like the demons and demons of legend.
His killing intent was like thick, insoluble blood, like a cold sharp blade that had entered the marrow.
Whereas he himself was like a sharp unsheathed sword that had been soaked in a sea of blood, wanting to drink fresh blood and soul.
Thumping!
The legs of merchant Cui became weak and he fell to sit on the ground, the strength within his entire body seemed to have been completely sucked out and it was like a formless hand that had strangled his throat. His eyes widened as he looked at the approaching figure who had a terrifying killing intent, and he could not help but let out a shrill cry. "Chen Xi, you're Jinx! What do you want to do? The Li Clan is supporting me, you cannot touch me !! ”
By the side, all the servants had already been scared out of their wits long ago and fainted to sit on the floor with shivering mouths, and their expressions were a mixture of anger and pallor. Only until they saw the figure did they realize, no matter how much money it was, it could not compare to the value of their lives.
Chen Xi did not pay attention to them, she only saw the ruins as past scenes flashed through her mind.
Poor little boy, since no one bought your amulet, then sold it to me. Supporting a family at such a small age is too difficult.
Ha ha! Chen Xi, your talisman crafting skills have improved again. For the sake of your grandfather, younger brother, and most importantly, yourself, you must continue to work hard, and you must not be arrogant.
…
Two rows of dark red blood tears quietly slipped onto his face. Chen Xi knelt on the floor, facing the ruins, facing Zhang's former general goods store, facing Uncle Zhang who always pushed him and helped him, and he deeply kowtowed on the ground.
Uncle, Little Xi is an adult. I'll take revenge for you!
Chen Xi stood up and left without looking back.
Whereas on the side, Merchant Cui and all the servants had a horrifying and horrifying expression when their seven pits bled, and they died soundlessly.
There was a talisman drawn by the blood on the ground, the first grade Flamecloud talisman Chen Xi was the most expert in crafting. Blood-colored talisman marks bloomed like flowers, and seemed to mourn the souls of the dead within the ruins.
The Clear Stream Restaurant.
In the empty and gloomy ruins, there were bones, there was blood, and there was Chen Xi wholeheartedly cooking delicious dishes. He seemed to be muttering something, and broken words like Old Man, Pei Pei, and Qiao Nan could be faintly heard.
Ruins, blood, bones, and someone talking as he cooked food, this kind of scene was extremely strange and could even be called terrifying.
After time for incense to burn.
Four dishes and a wine jug were placed before the ruins, while Chen Xi's figure was no longer there.
A stray dog smelled the scent and ran, but did not even come close to an extremely delicious meal when it suddenly let out a whimper before its body fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
——
Chen Xi has returned!
This news seemed to have grown wings and had spread throughout the entire Mist Mist City in the blink of an eye, and it caused the entire city to be stirred.
Chen Xi, a Jinx who grew up in Pine Mist City from a young age, a Jinx whose Clan was exterminated when he was born, then his parents lost, his marriage contract torn to shreds, his grandfather died a miserable death, the right hand of his younger brother paralyzed …
A few months ago, it was even because of him that the Li Clan exterminated commoners in the 500km area, annihilated Zhang's common goods shop, and exterminated the Clear Stream Restaurant. As long as someone who had the slightest relationship with him, they all died miserably. How unfair!
Currently, the Jinx that every household knew had returned. Could it be that he wanted to smear the city with another layer of misfortune and blood?
The streets are without people.
All the crowded shops had also closed their doors.
Various institutions even banned all their students from leaving.
The entire city seemed to have become an empty city in the blink of an eye.
Even the cultivators who boasted about their strong cultivation were silent and looking from the sidelines, because they seemed to have already been able to see that Chen Xi would definitely die miserably under the blade of the Li Clan's slaughter today.
——
General Plantation.
The number one expert under the command of General Qin, Luo Chong, furrowed his brows and was filled with worry.
It was at that moment that a guard quickly ran over, then knelt down on one knee. "Reporting to Commander Luo, the General sent word that our General's Plantation will not interfere in this matter.
Bang out!
Luo Chong violently slapped his palm onto the nearby table, and the wood chips swirled around.
"We watched nonchalantly as the Li Clan massacred over 10,000 commoners, we watched lazily as Zhang's general goods store and Clear Stream Restaurant were annihilated. If this continues, will the dignity of my General Estate remain? What will we use to convince the masses? ”The anger that Luo Chong accumulated for several months could not be held back anymore and completely exploded at this moment. His expression was savage and furious as he roared loudly nonstop. "Why? Why do we turn cold? Just because the Li Clan has the support of the Su Clan's Dragon Lake City behind it, so that they can trample on the dignity of my General Estate? ”
"Luo Chong, you're in too much of a hurry!" An extremely dignified voice rang out, then a purple-robed middle-aged man walked over with slow and even steps. He was 3m tall with a straight back like a spear, and he looked like an oppressive high mountain as he approached, full of dignity. This person was precisely the number one highest person in the General Estate, and the true ruler of Pine Mist City, Qin Han.
"General!" Luo Chong was startled when he saw the purple-robed middle-aged man, then he took a deep breath before standing up and cupping his hands.
"Klan Su was terrifying, all the great powers in Dragon Lake City were terrifying. Although you and I represent the will of the Darchu Dynasty, we can only choose to compromise when facing this ancient clan. "Qin Han sighed. "Not to mention me, even if it was within Dragon Lake City or the entire southern region, no city General's Estate would dare to oppose them. ”
Luo Chong knew that what Qin Han said was the truth, but the anger in his heart increased, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We are dealing with the Li Clan, not the Su Clan!"
Qin Han shook his head. "Do you think the Li Clan dares to be so brave without the Su Clan of Dragon Lake City supporting them from behind?"
Luo Chong said in a daze, “Could it be that we would do something like this? Watch the prank because Chen Xi was killed? Hongmian's relationship with him is very good. ”
“I know, so I locked the little girl. '' Qin Han replied casually. “This is something that cannot be avoided. After Chen Xi died, perhaps the entire Mist City would be at peace. Moreover, offending the Li Clan and the Su Clan to disciples from poor families undoubtedly buried my Estate General into the pit of hell. It's not worth it . ”
"Are the great clans and great powers so terrifying?" Luo Chong muttered in helplessness and sorrow.
"Indeed so. '' Qin Han nodded, yet he did not explain any further.
