"Apricot wine brewed from the mountain spring! It's free if it's not mellow! "
"Grilled fish skewers, fragrant grilled fish skewers!"
"Would you like some glutinous lotus root? Sir, would you like a plate? Only nine coins, nine coins for a plate! "
The bustling food street with lanterns hung everywhere was bustling with people coming and going.
Li Shunxi followed a white-haired man slowly forward, a bitter smile on his face.
The white-haired man walking in front of him had a scar on his forehead. His eyes were gentle and elegant, without a hint of fierceness. He wore a set of scholar's robes that had been washed so many times that it had turned white. As the sleeves fluttered, he had the temperament of a scholar who had fallen from grace.
"Let's sit in the front." The white-haired man smiled. He didn't look old, only in his thirties or forties, but when he spoke, it was as if he had a lot of experience, not much different from an old man in his seventies or eighties.
What could Li Shunxi say? His friends and companions who had gone through life and death with him were all in the enemy's hands. He couldn't resist at all.
Just by appearance, no one would think that this white-haired, elegant middle-aged man was the current commander-in-chief of the Devil Army, Roxim.
The two of them walked into a winery called Jiu Fei Jiu. Inside, there were many customers from all over the world sitting in a mess. The sounds of bragging and yelling were endless.
Roxim had someone bring a pot of ten year old Qu Mo Wine, and placed two small yellow wine cups in front of everyone.
Then he picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Li Shunxi.
"Actually, I really admire you humans." Roxim also poured a cup for himself and took a sip.
"Clothing, food, shelter, and even entertainment, you can all develop very well." Roxim smiled. "My hometown is a dark swamp without the Devil Sun's sunlight. Since I was born, until I was two hundred years old, I had never seen any sunlight. Every day, I only fought and fought to survive. Compared to that, you guys are really blessed. "
"Sir commander-in-chief, are all demons so isolated?" Li Shunxi asked in a low voice. Actually, he didn't need to whisper.
As the commander-in-chief of the Devil Army, Roxim was naturally surrounded by all kinds of concealing force fields. Even if he said something about the Devil Race out loud, it would be blocked by the force fields and no one would be able to hear it.
"According to you humans, the stronger you are, the lonelier you will be. It's lonely at the top. "Roxim sighed.
"At first, we didn't have the concept of being of the same race. Later on, we reluctantly grouped those with thorns, those with fur, those with similar appearances, and so on. But in reality, we are still isolated individuals. All intelligent individuals are fighting for their own strength and survival. "
"…" Li Shunxi paused. "Then, can the commander-in-chief tell me why you chose the Great Song as the breakthrough point?"
Roxim smiled brightly.
"Of course, it's not just the Great Song. There's also a breakthrough in Ju Rong Nation. Greed is our nature. We want to possess everything better and devour all the weak. This is the most basic physiological need of us demons. "
"Since that's the case, may I ask the commander-in-chief … why did you keep me by your side instead of killing me …?" Li Shunxi asked again.
Roxim instantly smiled. He raised his hand and made a trumpet gesture beside his ear.
"Listen … what can you hear in the wind here?"
Li Shunxi was slightly stunned and was about to answer. Suddenly, he saw Roxim reach out his index finger and lightly touch the center of his brows.
"Buzz!!!"
His entire head went numb and vibrated. Countless cold air currents surged into his brain. His consciousness and vision blurred at the same time.
"Boom!!!"
In that instant, the Jade of Secrets in Li Shunxi's body suddenly exploded with a ring of white light. The violent energy reaction caused his vision to go black and he suddenly lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Shunxi slowly woke up and regained consciousness.
"Where … is this …?" His eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Blood!
All he could see was blood!
Li Shunxi was shocked. He forcefully pushed aside the table and chair and stood up. The rotting table and chair fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
There was no one in the winery. There was only blood that had solidified into a carpet on the ground.
The dark red blood covered the entire floor, walls, and ceiling of the winery. A dense swarm of red-headed flies flew here and there, making a disgusting buzzing sound.
"This … this is …!?" Li Shunxi recalled the feeling earlier. It was exactly the same as when he used the Jade of Secrets.
"This is a winery? And this is the winery where I drank with the grand marshal of the demon race, Roxim? "He quickly recognized the familiar furnishings in front of him.
His mind in a mess, Li Shunxi staggered out of the winery and raised his head to look.
His surroundings were covered in the three colors of dilapidation, jet-black, and dark red.
Dilapidated houses and buildings, rotting limbs and blood clots, and corpses piled up to form a small hill. There was not a single living thing in sight.
Be it humans or demons.
In the sky above him, an incomparably huge triangular cone was spinning. It was a huge monstrous building formed from countless human heads.
The Jade of Secrets spun faster and faster in Li Shunxi's body. Countless information surged into his brain.
"This … is White Bell City two hundred years from now?" As the information surged in, he quickly understood that this was the White Bell City he had been staying in all this time.
The blood sacrifice, the Gate of Flesh and Blood, the land of the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Demons, the Third Demon Spirit … The series of information made his brain feel like it was about to explode.
"What did you see?" Suddenly, a voice as loud as a great bell pierced through his mind, suppressing everything in an instant. Li Shunxi's entire body trembled, and he broke free from that helpless and painful state.
When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had returned to how he had seen it in the beginning. Jiu Fei Jiu winery was still bustling with noise. Grand Marshal Roxim was still sitting in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"What did you see?" Roxim asked again.
Li Shunxi mumbled as he opened his mouth, but no words came out. He knew that Roxim had provided him and the Jade of Secrets with a large amount of energy, allowing him to instantly see the scene two hundred years into the future.
His silence deepened Roxim's smile.
"Alright, I don't have to guess. In the end, we won, didn't we?"
Li Shunxi was silent.
White Bell City and the nearby cities had all fallen, becoming a land of death. The Third Demon Spirit hatched, the sect was destroyed, the Shangyang Family was destroyed, and the Great Song suffered heavy losses.
This prosperous land was destined to be destroyed two hundred years later. From the start of the West Infinity Court's rebellion, the entire area was slowly heading towards destruction.
"Come, let's have a drink." Roxim smiled and raised his cup.
Li Shunxi looked at the other's smile, but did not want to drink even a drop of wine. He wanted to inform the West Infinity Court and salvage everything, but he knew that the other party would not let him leave.
"Listen to the surroundings. What are they talking about?" Roxim pointed at the other tables around him.
Li Shunxi could not help but look at the others. Voices kept reaching his ears. They were all about the strange things that had happened recently.
People went missing, groups of madmen, moving shadows, and increasingly nervous officers and constables searching everywhere.
At least one table out of every three in the winery was talking about such topics. The air in the city seemed to be pulled tight by something, making it hard for people to breathe.
Every once in a while, a patrolling officer would enter the winery to inquire and inspect. The winery was no longer filled with the usual jokes and curses. There were no drunkards teasing the girls who were served wine. The rich young masters who frequented the winery were also nowhere to be seen.
Li Shunxi sat quietly at the table. It was hard to believe that this prosperous and prosperous White Bell City would become an absolute dead zone in two hundred years, a hopeless paradise for monsters.
The Shangyang Family would become history in this disaster, and so would the Hundred Lineages. And all of this had started because of the upcoming change in the West Infinity Court …
"Drink." Roxim smiled.
…
Zhan Hongsheng limped out of the cave, feeling the tail that had mysteriously shrunk back into her body. She felt a little strange.
Lu Sheng used the leg of the wooden table to vibrate her perineum and chest muscles through her clothes. After some slight adjustments, he successfully taught her the bone-shrinking technique.
The mutated tail was also successfully absorbed into her body. But when Zhan Hongsheng thought of her impulsive actions just now, her cheeks flushed, and she felt too ashamed to show her face.
Lu Sheng followed her out of the cave.
"Practice well when you get back. It'll become natural after some time. There's nothing to be afraid of. If you're still afraid, you can go find umbrella girl Yingying and the others. They're all in the same situation. "
He carefully told umbrella girl and the others' contact information to Zhan Hongsheng, then reminded her not to leak it. Then, he chased her away.
After learning that there were others like her, Zhan Hongsheng could not wait to find umbrella girl and the others. Now that she had accepted reality, she knew that she could not escape Lu Sheng's control no matter what. She might as well treat herself as Lu Sheng's subordinate. After all, it was not tiring to get along with him.
After thinking it through, she felt much better.
"Huff!
Huff! "The sound of many disciples practicing came from the square below. Zhan Hongsheng looked around and quickly found umbrella girl Yingying and the others standing among them.
No matter how weak she was, she was still a disciple of a sect, and her cultivation was above Double Vein. From afar, she could sense the similar aura from Xu Chui and Ning San.
After finding her target, she hurried down the stairs and headed for the square.
After sending Zhan Hongsheng off, Lu Sheng also looked at the Prime Devil Sect disciples practicing in the square.
Actually, he knew very well that although this scene seemed to be thriving, it was just a castle in the air, a rootless duckweed. After all, secret arts were difficult to cultivate, and required a lot of time to accumulate and practice. Without more than ten years of practice, these disciples would not be able to achieve much.
He glanced around and saw He Xiangzi and her two junior sisters training a few little boys and girls together.
These orphans who had lost their families and were left alone because of the war would become the true core strength of the Prime Devil Sect in the future.
'In this world, Divine Weapons and Devil Blades are constantly produced and appearing through mysterious channels, but they are constantly broken and destroyed in the midst of battle.' Lu Sheng had read in the ancient records that some people were lucky enough to obtain a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade, and became a Noble Family in one go. There were also people who did not know how to appreciate treasures, and their families were destroyed because they did not know how to use it. That was why they were exterminated because of their wealth.
Previously, when He Xiangzi was chatting with him, she mentioned that the few children she took in this time had such backgrounds.
