Chapter 183 Five Comets Strike the Demon Country (4200+ monthly tickets requested) Seven hundred miles west, Guang'an Prefecture, At the hour of You, the moonlight is so clear. In the red-tiled mansion of the Xiao family in South City, there was a bustling bustle with servants and maids coming and going. "Hang it here. Hang it here." "That's right, this is the way to be happy." There were servants holding a ladder, with brightly colored ribbons and silks hung between the beams and pillars, and below, the steward had narrowed his eyes and smiled and clapped his hands. There were also servants carrying flower pots and placing them in the corridors, pavilions, rockery and flowing springs. The maids were arranging beautiful lanterns and laughing happily. In front of a loft in the mansion, there was a shallow pond with a few trees with snow-white flowers in bloom. The moonlight fell, and the branches were sparse and scattered, with shadows crisscrossing. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the water, sparkling. The breeze blew gently, and the delicate fragrance of the flowers drifted with the wind, and the fragrance floated. At this moment, a "squeak" sound broke the silence. The attic window opened, and a playful voice came from inside. Then a pretty little face with two buns on her head appeared, pointing outside the attic and saying happily: "Miss, come and see, the lantern is so beautiful."
Then he turned around and went back inside, "Come and see." As the excited voices rang out again, the little maid appeared, pulling a beautiful woman in green clothes and plain face. The woman was wearing a green cross-collared silk dress, a black silk shawl, her eyebrows were as dark as mountains, her eyes were like a clear pool at the door, and her whole temperament was elegant and virtuous. "Miss, look at the lotus flowers spinning in all colors, and the twin fish lanterns, they are so pretty, and that one, that one." The maid was chirping beside the woman in green, as lively and playful as a lark. "You!" The woman in green smiled lightly, "If you really like it, I'll have someone bring it over and hang it next to your bed so you can stare at it while you sleep." The little maid smiled playfully, "Then Xiaojiu probably won't be able to sleep, and won't be able to serve the young lady in time. Young lady, please don't blame me, hehe." As he spoke, his eyes turned, "By the way, Miss, your birthday party will be coming soon. There will definitely be many young talents there, but unfortunately, Xiaojiu heard that the third son of the Pan family is handsome and talented in martial arts, and is a famous talent in Guang'an. But the Pan family suddenly moved their entire clan to Jinguan City. I heard that it is very far away, thousands of miles away." The green-dressed woman raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this. "You have found out so much. It seems that you are particularly concerned about this Master Pan. It's really a pity. You should be sent to the Pan Mansion." "The young lady is so annoying!" The maid named Xiaojiu understood the meaning of the young lady's words. Her round little face turned red and she lowered her head to look at her toes. "Okay, okay, there's nothing to see." The woman in green looked at the lanterns in the distance, seemed bored, and turned back to the attic. The little maid followed, her face curious, "Miss doesn't seem to be looking forward to it?" As she spoke, she remembered something. "By the way, Miss, when we went on a boat trip on Tongxin Lake last time, you personally asked Uncle Zhang to send an invitation to the young man by the lake. Could that be your..." As she spoke, the maid smiled cunningly. "loquacious!" The woman in green found it funny. She raised her white hand, bent her fingers, and tapped the maid Xiaojiu on the forehead. In fact, she knew that this birthday party was just a name. Her father had important matters on his mind and wanted to invite some people to take charge of matters. It had nothing to do with her who he invited. Two days ago, at Tongxin Lake, I sent out the only invitation. The sight of that young man, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he were one with the world, was indescribable and couldn't help but attract her. Out of curiosity, or some strange coincidence, or perhaps just a little boldness, what happened next happened.
At this time, outside, the faint fragrance was carried by the breeze, rippling the clear water in the pool. The maid stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of the young lady, leaning her body sideways, with a playful look and a smile in her eyes. "Miss?" She was just about to make a joke for guessing what the young lady was thinking, when suddenly, she heard a sudden noise outside the attic. I saw the busy figures outside the attic running out one after another, and heard voices. "What happened?" "Go outside and take a look." Then, there were sounds of breaking through the air, and figures were seen flying out of the mansion. Then, the ground shook slightly, and there was a rumbling sound coming from the distance. "Miss, what's going on outside?" the maid Xiaojiu exclaimed. "Go and have a look!" The woman in green actually stepped directly through the window and flew out, and it turned out that she was skilled in martial arts. And from behind, the maid's cry was heard. "Miss, wait for me" The woman in green, covered in green vines, stepped on the trees by the pond and the roof tiles, and landed on the high pavilion in front of the door as gracefully as a flying swan. There were already several figures standing on it, and on the other roofs, there were also figures scattered around, all with gleaming eyes, looking towards the street outside the mansion. I saw, not far away, on the street, under the moonlight, the cold gleam of iron armor and the neighing of men and horses. "drive" "drive" "drive" "." The sound of horse hooves was heard coming from far away and getting closer. One could clearly see soldiers whizzing along the street, heading south. There were more than a thousand of them. Soon, a startled voice was heard. "The government troops are being mobilized on a large scale to investigate. What happened?" And the same scene was happening all around the city. A large number of soldiers and horses rushed out from the Sky Patrol’s headquarters and galloped in all directions. The sound of horse hooves lingered over Guang’an Prefecture. This movement had a ripple effect, and those who had connections rushed to find out what had happened. After a stick of incense, people gathered in the hall of the Xiao family mansion. In the center of the hall, on the main seat, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows, a square mouth and a straight nose, wearing a dark gold robe, a nine-section jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head, was waiting for news.
This person is Xiao Yuanshan, the current head of the Xiao family, the son of the previous local General of the Central Army, and is currently in the Tianguan Daozhong realm. At this time, two people walked in quickly from outside the door, one in front and one behind, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. After the man in front walked in, he immediately took the handrail, turned forward, bowed to the people around him, and said, "Father, I have already heard the news that the government troops have begun to blockade the city, but according to the captain I know, they have only received the news of the blockade and have not taken any other actions. They have only received this order." As soon as these words were spoken, the tense and solemn atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little. There were a few sighs of relief, followed by a few faint murmurs. "It's so scary. The government troops suddenly moved like this. I thought it was a demon attacking us." "Yes, but what's going on? The government troops blocked the city gates but didn't take the next step. There was no news of any unusual movement from the demon tribe in the west." "..." At this time, Xiao Yuanshan, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned and said, "Didn't you get more specific information?" In front of him, the eldest son of the Xiao family shook his head and said, "Father, given the close relationship between the Xiao family and those people, there is no need for them to lie to us. They really only received this one instruction." After hearing this, the head of the Xiao family's eyes flickered, and he said thoughtfully: "The government troops suddenly mobilized to seal off the city. There must be a reason. It is definitely not without a purpose. It must be a war, otherwise it would not be like this." As soon as these words were spoken, low cheers arose in the hall. "Father, what about my younger sister's banquet?" The eldest son of the Xiao family asked, seeming a little worried. At this time, the woman in green came out from behind the screen and bowed to her father and eldest brother. "Father" "Big Brother" "Since this is the case now, let's cancel the party. Zhi'er thinks that other people are not in the mood to come." As soon as these words were spoken, a figure who came in with the young master and followed him had a hidden flash in his eyes. However, when the head of the Xiao family saw his little daughter, a touch of tenderness appeared on his hard face, "Zhi'er, your mother has been gone since you were a child, and your birthday still needs to be celebrated. Besides, the city is under lockdown now, and some uncles and aunts probably want to find an opportunity to talk. You don't have to think too much. Your father and your brothers will take care of it for you. Just be happy." After hearing this, Xiao Qingzhi knew that she could not disobey her father's wishes, so she nodded without saying anything more. At this time, Xiao Yuanshan looked at his eldest son, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't worry too much. Not only has the Ninth Mountain General come to Guang'an Prefecture, but also disciples from the Shushan Sword Sect and other well-known sects have come to support. You go tomorrow and send invitations to those disciples. It will be good for you young people to interact with them. As for Gou Zhonglang and the Ninth Mountain General who has never shown up, I will go myself." Although Xiao Yuanshan said this, he knew that these two would definitely not come. Although they had some friendship with Gou Zhonglang, under the current situation, there was no way for him to spare the time, not to mention the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, with whom he had never had any interaction. But one thing is for sure, we should show our attitude, maybe we can find out some information. "Yes!" "Then the kid goes down to prepare." The eldest brother of the Xiao family agreed, turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, Xiao Yuanshan's eyes fell on the person following behind him, and his brows frowned, "Qingxiong, who is this?" "This is my good friend Sima Pu. He was born as a casual cultivator, but he is quite good at martial arts and has reached the peak of the physical realm. He has been traveling around the world. We met a few days ago. His personality is very much to my liking. He has been living in my house for the past few days, eating and living with me, and learning martial arts from me. He has benefited a lot." The eldest brother of the Xiao family introduced a young man in a black robe next to him. He has a hooked nose, thin lips, an expressionless face, and a look that says "no strangers allowed." Following the introduction by the eldest brother of the Xiao family, everyone in the hall was a little surprised. This man looked very young, but he had already reached the peak of Ti Xuan. Wouldn't that mean there is hope of breaking through the fourth level? Suddenly, his eyes became serious.
At this time, the man saluted towards Xiao Yuanshan, "Sima Pu, I greet the head of the Xiao family." The voice was emotionless. Xiao Yuanshan's eyes sparkled slightly. He casually looked the man up and down and nodded, "Yes, it's rare that Qingxiong praises someone so much. He is a reckless person, so I'll have to trouble you to help him a little more." "I dare not!" The man lowered his head. The eldest brother of the Xiao family was just happy that his friend was praised, but he heard his father's voice in his ear, "In the future, don't rashly bring outsiders into such occasions. I know you want to win over this person and do things with sincerity, but you must not lose your sense of proportion." After these words fell, Xiao Yuanshan, who was just transmitting the message, remained expressionless and said: "Go!" "The kid is gone. Let's go, Brother Sima!" The eldest brother of the Xiao family had a slightly dull expression on his face. He was obviously criticized by his father. He felt uncomfortable and took the boy away. . After the two came out of the main hall, the "Sima Pu" noticed that the eldest brother of the Xiao family looked strange, and started to speak: "Brother Xiao, you look upset, but what did I do wrong in front of your father just now?" "That's just my personality. If there is any, I will apologize to Brother Xiao." As he said this, he solemnly bowed and apologized. Xiao Qingxiong, the eldest brother of the Xiao family, quickly supported him, looking embarrassed, "Nothing, it's just a family meeting. Others have objections to me bringing you in, and my father sent a message to them, but my father really admires Brother Sima." He passed the blame on to others. "I am a casual cultivator and don't know any rules, but Brother Xiao is willing to treat me like this, so I'll treat me better in the future." Sima Pu said "emotionally". "Brother Sima!" Xiao Qingxiong held Sima Pu's shoulders and looked into his eyes. "Brother Xiao!" .... After a cup of tea, in a courtyard on the east side of the Xiao Mansion, a figure turned into a wisp of black smoke, left the Xiao Mansion, and then sneaked for more than ten miles in the night and entered a dark attic in the south city of Guang'an Prefecture. The black smoke entered a room, revealing a figure in a black robe, who was none other than the "Sima Pu"! But after he landed, his body shook a little and his face changed slightly: his nose became pointed and bone spurs grew on his forehead. It was the fat one from last night. At this moment, in the darkness, it appeared, and five strange-looking black shadows surrounded it. "Brother Sima!" There was a sound. But when the fat beast heard this name, his throat couldn't help but roll. "puff" A fishy smell gushed out. Upon seeing this, the five "people" quickly dodged and retreated strategically. "Brother Sima, what are you doing?" But Sima Pu's voice was a little angry: "Stop shouting." "I can't stand these disgusting humans anymore!"
Sima Pu recalled the look in the eyes of the eldest brother of the Xiao family just now, and felt that the evil spirit in his body was ready to move. A useless human with a mysterious body wanted to use those disgusting means to take him in. For a moment, his gloomy eyebrows were filled with murderous intent. Then he looked at the few "people" in the darkness and said in a sinister voice: "Everyone is here. It seems that you have all received the news. Why did the Guang'an Prefecture's army make unusual movements? Do you have any information?" "We used our channels to inquire, and found out that the Guang'an Prefecture Army only received an order to blockade the city, but the Ninth Mountain soldiers and those Jianghu sect disciples did not move." "Although we are gathering demon soldiers in our mountains, we haven't issued an order to attack the city yet. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to detect any disturbance. It's really strange that the Guang'an Prefecture army suddenly took strict precautions." "Things have changed, Brother Sima, how about canceling your plan?" Several dark shadows expressed their opinions one after another. But Sima Pu raised his eyebrows and refused flatly, his eyes shining: "No, this opportunity is unique. I just heard with my own ears that the Xiao family will send a message to the disciples of the sects that support Guang'an Prefecture. If we catch them all, our merits may be exchanged for a magic blood infusion." As soon as these words were spoken, five pairs of eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness. "But what about those Daobing Realm experts from the Patrol Department?" "With the government troops mobilized like this, how can these people still have the leisure to attend the banquet? Besides, his Xiao family doesn't have such a big face. As for the specific news, we will know tomorrow." "Among the six of us, there are four Dao Seeds. Even if there are a few human Tianguan among the invited clans, coupled with the magic blood Gu, if they don't die, who will die!" "Ha ha" "Okay, then let's wait for Brother Sima's news!" Just as the Six Mountain spies were plotting, five comets, thousands of miles away, rushed towards the vast Demon Kingdom! (End of this chapter)
