The next morning …
Lu An opened the teleportation array and arrived in Qingshan City. He had discussed it with everyone yesterday, but there were still many suspicious points. The most suspicious point was the time period of five thousand years. He asked Liu Huanxi about this, and she said that the exact date when the Celestial Azure Yu Serpent stole the crown was not recorded clearly. Coupled with the fact that the Celestial Azure Yu Serpent had fled for a hundred years, this year was most likely five thousand years.
If this year really was five thousand years, then this was a very sensitive time. Such a round number was very likely related to some kind of special cultivation. Lu An first wanted to know if there had been any large-scale disasters in Qingshan City in the past five thousand years. Perhaps there were records of this in the history books.
The collection of history books was naturally the most complete in the City Lord's Mansion, so Lu An went to the City Lord's Mansion again and met him in the main hall.
"Young Hero, you're here!" The City Lord hurriedly went forward to welcome him, but what puzzled Lu An was that after a night of rest, the City Lord should have recovered, so why did he look even worse?
"City Lord." Lu An cupped his hands and said, "I came here to borrow some history books. I want to know everything about the past of the Tall Green Mountain Range, the more detailed the better."
The City Lord was taken aback and hurriedly ordered the guards to bring over the history books. The two of them sat in the main hall and waited. Lu An noticed that the City Lord's expression was not right, and he was very restless.
The City Lord did not take the initiative to say anything, so Lu An did not ask. Soon, the guards placed many history books in front of Lu An, and Lu An began to read them in the main hall. With Lu An's strength, he could read ten lines at a glance, but as he read, the City Lord's expression became worse and worse. He could not sit still and paced back and forth in the main hall.
Finally, Lu An could not take it anymore. He closed the history book he had just finished reading and looked up at the pacing City Lord. "City Lord, why are you so restless?"
The City Lord's body trembled, and he suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Lu An, and after some hesitation, he said, "To be honest, not long after Young Hero left yesterday afternoon, the ten people sent by the Prefecture Overseer went up the mountain!"
"What?" Lu An was shocked. He frowned and said, "Didn't you tell them what I told you?"
"I told you!" The City Lord looked like he was about to cry as he said, "But they didn't listen. They said that they would be back before dark. I even prepared a banquet for them, but I haven't seen anyone yet!"
Lu An's frown deepened, but he didn't move. Lu An was hesitating. Even with his strength, it was difficult to predict whether he would survive if he entered the High Green Mountain Range. Lu An was not that chivalrous to risk his life to save someone unrelated to him.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard. It was obviously coming from the north! Such a dull sound made the City Lord's body tremble violently. He hurriedly shouted at the guards, "What's going on?! Send someone to investigate! "
At this moment, a person rushed into the main hall in a frenzy. This person was a soldier stationed outside the Northern City Walls, and after seeing the City Lord, he immediately knelt and shouted, "Reporting! There is a huge snake attacking from ten li north of the city. It … it should have reached the city gate by now! "
The mayor's body shook again. Could it be that the loud noise just now was the sound of the giant snake attacking the city gate?!
While the two of them were talking, Lu An spread out his perception, enveloping the entire city and spreading it outside. Immediately, the situation outside the city north entered his perception. The soldier was right. There was indeed a huge snake attacking!
"Inform the entire city. Tell everyone to escape to the south of the city! The situation is urgent. Tell them not to bring anything! " The City Lord quickly ordered, shouting loudly, "Tell all the Heavenly Masters and soldiers to follow me to the Northern City Gate!"
As he spoke, the City Lord's body shook violently. He turned to look at Lu An, who was sitting down, and asked, "Young hero, can you come and help?!"
Hearing the City Lord's words, Lu An finally nodded. This wasn't because he had the courage to sacrifice himself for the people, but because he sensed that there was no snake outside the city that could threaten him.
Immediately, all the Heavenly Masters in the City Lord's residence rushed to the north of the city under the City Lord's lead. The soldiers moved even slower and faster. Qingshan City was neither big nor small. The City Lord's residence was located in the south of Qingshan City. It wasn't easy for all the Heavenly Masters to rush to the north of the city. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they were completely dumbfounded.
Four huge snakes that were three hundred feet long. When they stood up, the front part was more than eight feet tall, far taller than the city walls. The heads of these huge snakes were using all their strength to ram the city walls. How could the city walls withstand the attacks of the huge snakes? In just a few hits, a part of the city walls was broken!
At this moment, the city walls in the north had already been broken through. The soldiers were not qualified to fight against these huge snakes at all. Even so, there were still soldiers who couldn't retreat in time. Corpses were everywhere. However, the strange thing was that these huge snakes didn't rush in directly. Instead, they continued to ram the city walls, as if they wanted to break through the entire city walls!
At the scene, only the City Lord was a Level Three Heavenly Master. However, he was only a Level Three Intermediate Heavenly Master. He was no match for the four huge snakes at all. Moreover, his body was in poor condition. His face was pale, but he didn't retreat. As the City Lord, it was his responsibility to protect the entire Qingshan City!
No matter what, he had to ensure that the citizens of Qingshan City could safely retreat!
"Everyone, listen to my orders!" The City Lord roared. "Charge with me!"
"Yes!" All the Heavenly Masters roared. However, just as the City Lord was about to charge forward, he was stopped by a hand.
"Let me do it." Lu An said calmly. Instantly, all the Heavenly Masters looked at Lu An. They didn't know who this kid was!
The City Lord was also stunned. Was this young hero going to deal with them alone?
That's right. Lu An wanted to deal with them alone. He pointed his finger lightly, and instantly, four flames shot out. These huge snakes couldn't react at all and were directly hit by the flames. Under the Nine Heavens Sacred Flames, these huge snakes didn't even last a breath. Everyone only felt their vision blur. When they could see clearly again, they were shocked to find that all the huge snakes had disappeared. Only the flames that slowly descended from the sky were left.
The sudden disappearance of the evil huge snakes left everyone completely dumbfounded. After a few breaths, they came back to their senses and suddenly realized something. They hurriedly looked at Lu An!
This young man … was terrifyingly strong!
Everyone stared at Lu An in shock, especially the Heavenly Masters who didn't think highly of Lu An. At this moment, they were all trembling. Lu An's strength had completely refreshed their understanding of strength. These were huge snakes that were three hundred feet long, and they were gone just like that?!
"Thank you, young hero, for your help!" The City Lord was so excited that he was flustered. He said with a trembling voice, "Young hero, you saved everyone in Qingshan City. Your great kindness will never be forgotten! This way, we won't have to run anymore! "
"Continue to run," Lu An suddenly said calmly.
Lu An's calm tone stunned the City Lord. His excited heart stopped as he asked, "Wh … Why?"
"See for yourself," Lu An said.
Everyone was puzzled as they followed Lu An's line of sight and looked towards the north. After the four huge snakes disappeared, the several huge gaps in the city gate became clear. They could easily see the tall green mountains in the distance. Just as everyone was puzzled, the City Lord's body suddenly trembled. He could vaguely see a black line in the direction of the tall green mountains!
The City Lord immediately ran and leaped onto the broken city wall. Everyone else did the same. They all jumped onto the city wall and looked towards the north.
The black line was getting closer and closer, bigger and clearer. The ground beneath everyone's feet was shaking, but it was far from the trembling of the Heavenly Masters' hearts.
All the Heavenly Masters' faces were pale and bloodless. They looked out like idiots. All the light in their eyes had disappeared, leaving only despair.
They saw countless huge snakes in the plains that connected the north of the city and the tall green mountains. They were so fast that it would only take ten minutes to reach the city gate. In such a short time, even the Heavenly Masters couldn't escape, let alone the civilians.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why the four huge snakes didn't rush in after breaking the city wall. Instead, they wanted to break through the entire city wall. It turned out that they were preparing for the large army that would follow.
"It's over. Everything is over." The City Lord looked at the countless huge snakes that were coming from afar. There was no strength in his voice as he muttered to himself, "Qingshan City is completely finished."
The other Heavenly Masters didn't say anything. Or rather, they couldn't say anything. As far as the eye could see, there were at least a thousand of these huge snakes. Each of them was more than 300 feet long. The closer they got, the more they could feel how terrifying these huge snakes were.
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly trembled. They stood on the city wall and looked down. They saw a figure walking out from the gap in the city wall. Finally, he stopped 100 feet away from the city gate!
Who else could it be other than Lu An?
All the Heavenly Masters were stunned when they saw this scene. They even took a deep breath and were completely speechless. The City Lord was the same. He wanted to persuade Lu An to escape, but he realized that he couldn't say a word. This was because in his heart, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong!
Rumble!
Finally, the terrifying huge snakes rushed out of the city gate and were less than 100 feet away from Lu An. Everyone on the city wall was so nervous that they almost suffocated to death. They stared at Lu An with their eyes wide open!
Finally, the huge snakes were only 10 feet away from Lu An. At this moment, Lu An finally moved.
He gently lifted his right foot and took a step forward, stepping lightly on the ground.
Fury of the Ocean.
Instantly, a terrifying cold light appeared. With Lu An as the starting point, it rapidly enveloped the front!
