It was said that the name of the Chiyou Region originated from an ancient deity called "Chiyou". The deity Chiyou took care of the Chiyou Region and passed down the Chiyou Clan. More than half of the people living in the Chiyou Region today were descendants of the Chiyou Clan.
Before the Era of Cultivation, the people of the Chiyou tribe were fierce and aggressive, and they had always preserved the tradition of hunting. Every family, rich or poor, was good at hunting. After the Era of Cultivation, the methods of cultivators quickly replaced traditional hunting methods. Moreover, the Starfall Beasts were difficult to deal with, and ordinary traps were useless, so the tradition gradually disappeared.
Although they had lost this tradition, as descendants of the Chiyou tribe, they displayed an extremely strong will to resist the invasion of other races. Most of the residents of each city would actively participate in the defense of the city and fight the demons to the death. After six years of war, who knew how many unknown martyrs' blood had flowed on this land.
Now, on this land, men and women, old and young, everyone was talking about one person, a person who seemed to bring them hope. What did it mean to take back the entire Chiyou region? It meant that the Nine Elites could reorganize the battlefront and stop the invaders outside Red Rock City. The Chiyou region would be whole again, and many people could reunite with their families.
But now, this person, who had so many hopes and desires, was having a headache about how to enter the city.
"Just because you say you're Yan Li, you're Yan Li? Do you have any proof? "
"I'm Yan Li. Do you need any more proof?"
This was a city built entirely of stone. It wasn't very big, but it firmly guarded the Zhiling River, so the demons on the other side didn't dare easily invade. Its name was also very simple. It was called Stone City.
The people who stopped Yan Li were the city's guards. As ordinary people, fighting the demons was still too much for them. They were only responsible for transporting supplies, carrying the wounded, and guarding the city gates.
"Of course. Everyone in the jianghu knows that anyone can become Yan Shifang as long as they wear a mask!" The guard looked at Yan Li disdainfully, as if he was certain that he was a loafer who was taking advantage of the opportunity to eat and drink. "Do you know how many people calling themselves Yan Shifang have appeared these days? There were seven, eight including you. Hmph, do you know what happened to them in the end? "
"What happened?" Yan Li asked with a smile. The guard said fiercely, "Their legs were broken and thrown across the Zhi Ling River. I believe those damned demons will teach them an unforgettable lesson!"
Yan Li laughed and said, "If I'm an imposter, you can treat me the same way. Let me enter the city first. I need to urgently arrange the city's defenses. Otherwise, it will be too late when Li Xueyi and his men attack. "
Just as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly rang out in the city, "They've started fighting! They're fighting! "
The guard shuddered, thinking that Yan Li had hit the nail on the head. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people fighting at the city gate, surrounded by the rowdy audience. He was instantly enraged. He seemed to be the leader of the guards. He first scolded his subordinates, then rushed up to separate the crowd. He grabbed a troublemaker with each hand and scolded angrily, "You sons of b * tches, which house are you from? How dare you fight in such an important place? Do you believe that I won't chop off your heads?"
The two people fighting raised their heads, revealing a ferocious face. One of them laughed strangely and slid a sharp weapon out of his sleeve, piercing the leader's heart.
"Ah! Murder!"
"No, look, they're demons!" One of them recognized the murderer and screamed. At the same time, his ear was suddenly bitten off by someone next to him. He was about to cry out in pain when his throat was bitten, and he died immediately.
Stone City was instantly in chaos. Yan Li did not expect Li Hongzhuang to act so quickly. He had only killed two demons, but a cultivator came to him and cupped his hands. "Are you the new commander, Master Yan? The leaders of the allied forces are waiting for you. "
"Lead the way," Yan Li said.
He followed the cultivator and found that the city was already in a mess. The cultivators came out to face the enemy, but further away, there seemed to be a large amount of demon aura coming from the direction of the Zhiling River.
They arrived at an imposing building and entered the main house. There were only three white-haired old men and a man in his early thirties. After introductions, the three old men came from the Dao Court, the Mystic Divine Sect, and the Longxiang Mountain.
Yan Li did not know the three old men, but he recognized the man. It was Li Zhengjun from the Wilderness God Temple.
The three old men sat there leisurely, as if they did not know how urgent the situation was. Li Zhengjun stood there with a cold expression. When he saw Yan Li come in, he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
Yan Li's heart acupoint was very exquisite. In the time it took to think, he roughly understood what was going on. Li Banshan's so-called "no reinforcements" was to greatly reduce the original defense forces of Stone City. With these people, they could not even defend Stone City, let alone take down the entire Chiyou Region.
"Greetings, Commander." The three old men casually cupped their hands.
Yan Li said, "Since you recognize me as the commander, why are you still sitting there? The enemy has already entered the city. If we lose this city, you three old things will be buried with it! "
"How dare you!" The three old men were all elders in their sect and were respected by countless people. How could they tolerate Yan Li's attitude? One of them said, "Even if Guan Shanhai was here, he would not dare to speak to us like this. Although you are the new commander, if you are not willing to listen to the elders in defense, you will not be able to survive this disaster!"
"Oh?" Yan Li said, "You have a plan?"
The old man sneered and said, "The Hierarch said that you are the commander to take back the entire Chiyou Region, but not the commander to defend Chiyou Region. Moreover, you are suspected of colluding with Li Xueyi, so the three of us will be in charge of defending the city."
Yan Li said, "In that case, please do your best. We will think about how to attack after we repel the invading enemy."
The three old men looked at each other and sneered secretly. One of them said leisurely, "Since you are the commander, you naturally have to bear the responsibility of defending the city. In the name of the Hierarch, I order you to go to the top of the city now. If you see Li Xueyi, kill her."
Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly. "In other words, as the commander, not only can I not make the decision, I have to listen to the three of you?"
The old man sneered without hiding it. "How can that be? As long as we defend Stone City, when the time comes to attack, we will naturally listen to your orders."
Li Zhengjun raised his eyebrows and finally could not help but say, "Who would fight like this? Aren't the three of you making things difficult for me? Li Banshan is the dignified Hierarch, the leader of the righteous path. How can you play such a low-level word game? How ridiculous! "
"You are too presumptuous, young man!" The old man said sternly, "Don't forget who helped you in Gou Zhang when Chiyou was conquered!"
