Chapter 388: Just in Time!
Long Yunxiao originally wanted to release the double-headed golden dragon and use it as a mount to rush to Yanling City.
Yanling City is more than two thousand miles away from Qingtianzong. With the speed of the two-headed golden dragon, it can be reached in two hours.
However, Yun Yao weighed it up and dissuaded him from releasing the two-headed golden dragon.
After all, the double-headed golden dragon is too big and mighty, very eye-catching.
The three of them went to Yanling City with a heavy responsibility to search for traces of the demons and wipe out the remnants of the demons.
Riding a two-headed golden dragon and rushing over there with great fanfare, it is bound to startle the opponent and startle the snake.
Long Yunxiao felt that what she said made sense, so he dismissed the idea of riding a two-headed golden dragon.
So, the three of them rode Yunyao's spirit beast Baihe together, and rushed to Yanling City without haste.
The three of them stood on the back of the spirit crane, facing the howling wind, overlooking the mountains, rivers and rivers below, all of them were silent and did not speak.
Although no one mentioned what happened last night, all three of them knew certain things.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Of course, Ji Tianxing remained calm and silent on the surface.
In fact, he was in a very happy mood, and occasionally his mind wandered, recalling the beautiful scene of last night.
...
In Yanling City, it is divided into four regions according to its orientation: southeast, north and west.
Dongchengfang City is the site of Tianying Fangzhu, and it is also the most prosperous area in the city, and it is an important place for trading.
In contrast, Xicheng District looks much dilapidated, like a slum.
The old Xicheng District is full of low houses, narrow and messy streets and alleys.
Most of the common people who came and went were dressed in shabby clothes, dull and unkempt.
In some dark and messy alleys, there will be some ragged beggars lying on the side of the road, or poor people covered with injuries and miserable faces.
Outside some old taverns and grocery stores, some ugly, insane lunatics often appear, running around and cursing.
Compared with the other glamorous and prosperous areas in the city, Xicheng District looked lifeless, full of decadence and death.
Most of the beggars, thieves and scoundrels in the city gathered in this area.
Of course, those poor people who are sick and have no money for medical treatment, and who have no treatment for injuries, also gather in Xicheng District, lingering or facing death.
Many years ago, there were rumors in Yanling City that Xicheng District was a deserted place of death, shrouded in the shadow of demons, and was gradually corroding.
People living in the city will never step into Xicheng District for no reason.
Even normal people would disappear strangely after entering some eerie places in Xicheng District.
Even those who survived by chance will become insane lunatics or scarred wretches.
And all this is intensifying year by year, and it is getting worse and worse.
Ordinary people and warriors are jealous and curious about Xicheng District, but they dare not go into the reasons.
The only few big forces in the city may know some inside information, but they all pretend not to know, tacitly stick to their own territory, and will not step into the west city area.
Under such circumstances, there are a lot of gossip in the city, making Xicheng District even more mysterious and terrifying.
At the end of a certain street in the depths of Xicheng District, there is an old and decaying house named Wutong Courtyard.
This old house covers an area of a kilometer. It was the mansion of a certain rich man decades ago, and it was once very prosperous and prosperous.
However, on a rainy night sixty years ago, the rich man's family of more than 30 people, plus nearly a hundred servants and guards, all died strangely overnight.
Since then, the house has been abandoned and has become a famous haunted house.
In recent decades, haunted incidents have frequently occurred in Wutong Courtyard, scaring passers-by with mental disorders or mysterious disappearances.
Even in the clear daytime, the courtyard is covered with invisible clouds, which looks eerie.
Over time, the name of the haunted house spread far and wide, and no one dared to approach it at will.
Although it was daytime at this time, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, with light rain falling in the sky.
The gate of the Indus Courtyard was closed tightly, and the vermilion paint on the gate had already been mottled and peeled off, exposing the dark fine iron.
There is an old plaque on the door frame, with the three ancient characters of "Wutongyuan" written on it, but it hangs crookedly on the wall, and half of it hangs to block the door.
In the courtyard behind the gate, there are a few bare dead trees left, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves and dust.
In the rooms and corridors around the yard, the doors and windows are old and decayed, and there are spider webs everywhere.
If you look closely, you will find that there are many palm-sized spiders, scorpions and various poisonous insects lurking in the fallen leaves and dust.
On those decaying and old beams and door frames, and in the dark corners, there are often colorful snakes entrenched.
Originally, this haunted house was supposed to be uninhabited.
But in the depths of the house, in a secret room made of black rock, there were two soft voices.
The light in the secret room was dim, the atmosphere was gloomy and cold, and the air was filled with the smell of rancidity and blood.
There are two figures in the room who are communicating in low voices, one of them is more than three meters tall, and he is as burly as a giant.
He has long red hair, thick purple hair all over his body, and a necklace of bone teeth around his neck.
He was naked|naked, with only a black python leather apron wrapped around his waist, exuding bloodthirsty killing intent all over his body.
There is no doubt that this person is the Blood Demon King!
And the person standing beside him and talking to him in a low voice was a crooked old woman.
The old woman was short and thin, like a monkey over one meter long.
She was wearing a black robe and cloak, and she was holding a twisted cane in her hand.
There are two flat snake heads on the top of the cane, constantly shaking from side to side, spitting snake letters.
Under the black cloak, her withered face was covered with pustules and pits the size of thumbs, making her look extremely hideous and terrifying.
Besides the Blood Demon King and the old woman in black robe, there is also a stone table in the room.
On the table is a half-meter-high purple pagoda.
The purple pagoda has nine floors, and each floor is rotating, shining with a faint purple light.
The speed and direction of the nine-story pagoda's rotation are different, which is extremely chaotic, but contains a certain unique law.
The purple light from the pagoda reflected on the wall of the secret room, like a light curtain, showing a picture.
In the picture, there are three young men and women riding a white spirit crane, galloping in the sky.
Seeing this scene, the old woman in black robe turned her toothless mouth and let out a hoarse sneer, "Hehehehe...the prey is coming towards us!"
The Blood Demon King also showed a bloodthirsty sneer, squeezed his fists, and said: "It's just in time, this king hasn't drunk human blood for a long time!"
"These little bastards dare to take the initiative to come to Yanling City to find this king. This king will definitely let them come and go!"
