The Right Protector of the Demon Sect is reborn

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lou Xinzhou understood. She turned her head to look at the people who were huddled in the corner of the inn and shivering, then looked at the young man next to her and frowned slightly.

"If they really intend to do this, they will definitely be criticized by the world. Perhaps, it's not this."

Lou Xinzhou analyzed in a cold voice. As she spoke, her hand was always on the barrier, paying close attention to the situation outside. However, she did not expect that Shi Yangyu would speak the next second.

"Nan Rongyun, I know you must be here? You two have been on the run for half a year, you must be tired."

"..."

"I've heard that you have always been known for your kindness and compassion for all living beings. I wonder if the lives of all the mortals in this city are worth your appearance?"

Go crazy.

Lou Xinzhou couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

The six sects in the world are all righteous, and they all do righteous things to eliminate demons and defend justice. They have never involved mortals. Now, in order to force her to show up, they threaten to massacre the city. It is really horrifying. Don’t they care about their reputation anymore?

"I don't have much time either, but I think you must be in a difficult situation, so I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it carefully."

"..."

"Master, what did you hear?"

Only the person who set up the formation can hear the noise outside by touching the barrier, so Nan Rongnian didn't know what she heard, but seeing that her expression was not right, he asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lou Xinzhou just shook his head slightly and gave a simple answer.

"The situation is uncertain. Let me listen more."

After hearing this, Nan Rongnian nodded, concealed his uneasiness, and stood quietly aside.

Lou Xinzhou focused all his attention outside. After he shouted, Shi Yangyu had been silent for a while, but the street became more chaotic. Lou Xinzhou could hear the roars and neighs of various beasts from time to time, some low and some sharp. There were so many of them that they even covered up the cries and begging of the people outside.

"..."

Already started?

Lou Xinzhou frowned and thought that she could only rely on her ears at the moment, so she didn't know what was happening outside. The four guards who were guarding the tribulation had all arrived. If she released her spiritual consciousness, she would definitely be discovered.

what can we do about it?

"..."

The people outside the house had nothing to do with her, and their deaths would not cause her any emotional fluctuations.

However, she still had a conscience. The people outside the house were just ordinary people. If those people died because of them, she would feel guilty.

"Master, you can't go out."

As if noticing her hesitation, Nan Rongnian advised her with some concern, and then reached out to pull her.

Lou Xinzhou turned her head and looked at him. She knew that he was worried, but she really didn't know what to say. In the end, she just gently held the boy's hand that was holding her sleeve.

To be honest, she didn't know what to do.

As she was hesitating, she suddenly heard Shi Yangyu speak again.

"Nan Rongyun, I didn't expect you to be so calm. Don't you think I don't dare to kill anyone?"

"..."

"Oh, I guess you must be thinking, the Imperial Guard Palace is one of the six gates in the world, and it is our job to eliminate demons and defend the way. Due to my status and reputation, I dare only talk about it, right?" At this point, Shi Yangyu suddenly laughed, "However, the Imperial Guards are well-known for saving the dying and the wounded. If the news of the massacre spreads, who will people in the world think is the murderer?"

"Oh, by the way, I accidentally forgot that Venerable Bai Yun also has a good reputation."

"..."

"But, half a year ago, when you two were surrounded in Qingxi, you threatened the Six Gates, saying that if the Six Gates didn't spare Nan Rongnian's life, you would drag the people within a hundred miles to die."

"..."

"That happened, didn't it? Oh, Your Excellency didn't seem to say it so bluntly, but everyone can hear the implication clearly, right?"

After hearing this, Lou Xinzhou finally understood that Shi Yangyu was determined to kill people. Most people in the cultivation world are hypocritical and selfish. She knew their selfishness. Now that the situation was set, she had to make a choice.

"Oh, by the way, you probably don't know yet, some time ago, the Six Gates went to the snowy mountains to look for you. I heard that you have a close relationship with the Nine-Tailed Clan."

what?

Lou Xinzhou's eyes widened slightly, the nine-tailed fox is a spiritual beast, they don't care about worldly affairs, and don't get involved in human troubles. How could the Six Sects go to such an extent?

"It's really sad. You didn't show up even for a moment until they disappeared. You are so cold-blooded and heartless."

Even though his emotions fluctuated slightly, Lou Xinzhou felt somewhat unsettled.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was exterminated?

How is it possible? Yu Zhang is a spiritual beast that has survived the tribulation. How could it be so easy...

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Nan Rongnian hurried forward to support her upon seeing this. Lou Xinzhou looked up at him in a daze. Bai Yun and Yu Zhang could be considered childhood sweethearts, and their friendship of so many years naturally had weight in their hearts.

"The Nine-Tailed Clan is gone..."

Nan Rongnian never expected that she would say such a thing, and he just froze there.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is gone. How could such a powerful race be gone?

"..."

"Immortal... Immortal, are you okay?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper leaned half of his body out from behind the counter with some fear and asked cautiously. Other people in the inn also looked in the direction of the two of them, but did not dare to come forward.

Hearing this, Lou Xinzhou looked up at them.

There was timidity, fear, and tension in those people's eyes, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she could see some genuine worry in them.

Suddenly she remembered her childhood in the present world. When she was wandering and down and out, a couple in a tavern took her in for a while. They were not rich, but they were willing to buy her a pair of bowls and chopsticks in their home.

I don’t know how that kind family is doing now.

"fine."

Lou Xinzhou replied, and although his voice was still cold, it had been restrained a lot. The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, swallowed his saliva, and actually walked out from behind the counter. After hesitating for a while, he spoke softly again.

"Two immortals, I just heard what you said... What six gates, what palace, I don't really understand, but I can see that you are good people."

Lou Xinzhou didn't expect that he could have such courage and was a little surprised.

"The young master, no, the immortal borrowed the kitchen these two days. Not only did he give us a large sum of money, he also helped us a lot. So I know that you are good people."

"What do you want to say?"

Nan Rongnian helped Lou Xinzhou to a chair nearby, turned around and asked in a cold voice with a very unfriendly tone.

The shopkeeper kept emphasizing that they were good people. Could it be that he wanted them to stand up so that he could save his life?

Seeing this, Lou Xinzhou pulled Nan Rongnian's sleeve and shook his head gently.

"Ah Nian, don't scare them."

"Um, no... no, don't misunderstand me, little fairy, I don't mean anything else."

"Then what do you mean?"

Nan Rongnian raised his head slightly and continued asking.

"In order to store food, our inn has built a cellar. For convenience, we have dug a shortcut in the cellar that can lead directly out of the city. Perhaps you two can escape."

"Then why don't you leave?"

After hearing this, Nan Rongnian frowned and asked.

"To get to the cellar, you need to go through the backyard. I just looked through the door and saw a big golden tiger over there."
