Chapter 427: All Things Are Straw Dogs (9)
The major event that took place in the City of Life and Death caused a sensation in the entire upper cultivation world.
An evil formation was set up under the City Lord's Mansion, killing hundreds of children. Even if such a thing was exposed, it should not have caused such a big reaction in the upper cultivation world. After all, hybrids generally only appeared in Life and Death City and the north of Life and Death City, and because of their bloodline, they were not welcomed by most humans.
But after this incident, because it involved the youngest son of Wanshou Valley who had been loved since childhood, Wanshou Valley and Yunlu Mountain sent many disciples to find the young master of Wanshou Valley who ran away from home, sent out a distress signal and then disappeared. These disciples also suffered casualties in the City of Life and Death.
Jiang Huaiyu was seriously injured this time. Jiang Huaiyu and Jiang Huaizhen's father is the master of Wanshou Valley, and his mother is the only daughter of the head of Yunlu Mountain. Both their own cultivation status and family background are among the best in the upper cultivation world.
These two people are particularly protective of their children and disciples. How could they let it go after their children and disciples suffered such a great loss in the City of Life and Death?
In addition, the City of Life and Death has frequently entered the sight of the Immortal Alliance recently, and has attracted the attention of the Immortal Alliance's top leaders. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Immortal Alliance has just the reason to wipe it out.
So a great battle broke out in the City of Life and Death.
The battle lasted for several days and nights. The lord of Life and Death City was killed. Two of his most capable protectors, one escaped with serious injuries and his whereabouts are unknown, while the other tried to self-destruct and killed several masters of the Immortal Alliance.
In the end, the City Lord's Mansion was massacred in blood, and the most "famous" group of villains in the city were all killed. Some of those who had a history of committing crimes, those who had killed people, and those who were not human were all taken away by the Immortal Alliance and thrown into special prisons.
The remaining small fish and shrimps had already been frightened by this great purge, and either fled or huddled up in hiding.
For the Immortal Alliance, this battle can only be considered a tragic victory.
But the story is not over yet, there are two remaining issues that need to be resolved.
One is the evil formation found under the City Lord's Mansion, which has confirmed that someone is plotting a conspiracy behind the scenes, and it is a big conspiracy. This matter is related to the life and death of the entire upper cultivation world, so it must be taken seriously and investigated further.
The second group was the survivors rescued at the City Lord’s Mansion.
They were all children with pitiful life stories and sympathetic experiences, especially those who were hung and bled for several days and were finally rescued. I am afraid they have been left with incurable psychological trauma.
Logically speaking, these rescued children should be sent back home.
but……
Again, their bloodline meant that they were not accepted by their blood relatives.
If they cared about their families, they wouldn't have ended up in the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, all the children here were sold or given away by their relatives.
The Immortal Alliance can naturally use a tough attitude to force their relatives to take them away.
But what happens after you bring it back?
Even if they don't dare to abandon their children again, will those children have a good life at home?
Moreover, since the evil formation in the City Lord's Mansion specifically needs the blood of these mixed-race children, it means that this conspiracy must be related to mixed races in the end. Before everything is over, the safety of these children is also very important. It would be better for the Immortal Alliance not to let go of any child with mixed blood and protect them all together.
In this way, even if we cannot find out what shocking conspiracy this person is planning behind the scenes for a while, at least we can hinder the progress of his plan.
Finally, the Immortal Alliance made the final decision, and with Jiang Huaizhen's strong request, these children were temporarily accepted by the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The finishing work took a while, and it was ten days later when the people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts took the children back.
Jiang Huaizhen was holding his pet Xuan Yan, who had been rescued with great difficulty but had since become sick and unable to wake up every day. He was standing on his flying boat, looking down at the City of Life and Death below his feet.
"What are you still standing here looking at? Aren't you wild enough?"
Jiang Huaizhen turned his head and said, "Ah Xiao, do you think that little brat melted instantly after falling into the blood pool? He should... not have had time to feel the pain, right?"
The blood pool was drained and there was nothing in it.
There was no evil creature hidden underneath as everyone thought, nor was there Si Cen's body or even a single bone.
The only ones who knew the secret of this secret room and blood pool were the city lord and his most trusted guardians. However, two of them were killed without leaving any trace, and their souls exploded, so it was impossible to search their souls to find out the secret.
Another evil cultivator named Xing Wei disappeared without a trace after being seriously injured. Now the entire Immortal Alliance is looking for him. It has been ten days, and there is no news of him, let alone any trace of him.
So no one knew what was originally in this pool of blood, nor did anyone know what would happen to a living person who fell into it.
But since there is no trace of the body left, it must have been completely dissolved in the pool of blood.
Shen Xiao frowned upon hearing this, "This is not something you should worry about. Think carefully about how to explain this to your father when you return. Because of your willfulness, your sister got hurt so badly this time, and even her realm dropped a level. It's time for you to be more sensible, right?"
Jiang Huai really felt it was very strange and couldn't help but look at Shen Xiao several times.
Why did he feel that Shen Xiao had returned to the annoying personality he had when he first arrived at their Valley of Beasts?
But he was not in the mood to argue with Shen Xiao right now.
After all, Shen Xiao was right in one thing: he had implicated his sister this time.
Thinking of how his sister had taken the attack from the guardian criminal at the critical moment in order to save his life, Jiang Huaizhen's heart still ached when he remembered her vomiting blood.
"I see."
It was rare for him to show such willingness to listen, which finally made Shen Xiao less annoyed with him. He nodded and said, "The flying boat will set off soon. The barrier on the deck is weak and there will be wind. Go in. You are injured too. Don't let your sister worry anymore."
Jiang Huaizhen touched the spirit pet in his arms, nodded, turned around and went in.
Shen Xiao did not follow immediately. Instead, he stood at the edge, looking down at the Life and Death City below, which was a little dilapidated and depressed after the great battle. His eyes swept over the figures of the cultivators who occasionally passed over the Life and Death City. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Jiang Huaizhen ran to Jiang Huaiyu's room to visit her.
Jiang Huaiyu was seriously injured this time and his foundation was damaged. It would take more than a few bottles of elixirs and a few days of treatment to recover.
She had to go back to the valley to recuperate for a while, and then practice hard to raise her realm as soon as possible.
Jiang Huaizhen's eyes turned red when he saw her pale face.
"Sister...I'm sorry, I was too willful."
Jiang Huaiyu raised his hand and poked his forehead in annoyance, but said, "You have done a great deed by accident. Don't worry, Dad won't really break your legs when you go back this time."
Jiang Huaizhen: "He didn't dare to break my legs, otherwise our mother would have to make him suffer. I'm talking about you. You were injured so badly this time because of me. Tell me, I will do whatever you ask for. Even if you want all my magic weapons and spirit stones, I will give them all to you!"
