Mortal Seeking Immortal

In the teahouse, the monks were in groups of two or three, all talking about the sudden martial law in Xianliu City.

After listening for a while, Ye Zhou roughly guessed why the city lord suddenly ordered the city gates to be closed.

It was because the city had been rumored that the demon cultivators were going to attack Xianliu City. Some monks saw that the situation was not right and had already left Xianliu City and went to other towns, and this trend showed signs of expansion.

In order to prevent the city from being empty of troops after most of the monks left, and to prevent demon cultivators from sneaking into the city at this time, the city lord of Xianliu City issued this order.

Ye Zhou sat here for half an hour, but he did not see Qi Rongyin's figure, and he did not see her reply. He thought that Qi Rongyin should not have received his message, and guessed that because the demon cultivators were about to attack the city, the city lord temporarily protected Qi Rongyin.

He did not continue to wait, but rushed back to his residence and began to prepare self-protection measures when the demon cultivators attacked the city.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and it was still the same as when he left. No one had entered.

Ye Zhou was about to push the door to enter the courtyard, but he saw Zhuang Yu rushing over from a distance and came to Ye Zhou's side: "Senior Ye, Senior Li Zhou just sent a message, ordering us to gather at the city gate. He should assign patrol tasks."

Ye Zhou nodded and went to the city gate with Zhuang Yu.

In just a moment, the two of them arrived at the city gate. At this time, the city gate was as lively as a market. Many monks who took over the patrol duties in the city gathered here and talked about it.

Ye Zhou noticed that there were many Jindan realm monks wearing the guard uniforms of the City Lord's Mansion guarding around, looking at Ye Zhou and others with serious faces.

There were also several teams of City Lord's Mansion monks rushing over from a distance, and stepped up to arrange various formations next to the city gate.

After Ye Zhou and the other two met up with the remaining team members, they saw that Zhuang Yu and the other four looked very ugly.

Zhuang Yu hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Zhuang Yu said, "Someone heard that the City Lord's Mansion intends to let us cultivators go up to the tower to set up defenses."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhou's eyes sank, and he looked at the tower not far away, where several City Lord's Mansion cultivators holding various magic weapons were patrolling back and forth.

If it were normal to go up to the tower to set up defenses, it would be nothing, but now if the demon cultivators attacked the city, the first to die would be the cultivators guarding the tower. It seems that the City Lord's Mansion wants to preserve its strength as much as possible to mediate with the demon cultivators attacking the city.

Ye Zhou was not surprised at all that the City Lord's Mansion made this decision.

Zhuang Qing snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it obvious that the City Lord's Mansion is sending us to our deaths?"

Zhuang Yu scolded Zhuang Qing in a low voice, then looked at Ye Zhou, his eyes full of pleading: "Senior Ye, you have some connections in the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord's Mansion really gives this order, I would like to ask you to talk to the higher-ups and not let Zhuang Yu go up to the tower. Zhuang Yu's cultivation is not enough, and he will die if he goes up."

Zhuang Yu hurriedly refused and said, "No, we all came to Xianliu City together, and we will leave together in the future. I want to go up to the tower with you."

Zhuang Yu and the others' eyes suddenly turned red, and Zhuang Qing turned his face to one side, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Zhuang Yu looked at Zhuang Yu and said, "Don't be willful. The tribe's hopes are on you. If something happens to you, even if you die, you will not be able to face the tribe leader and the tribe members."

Ye Zhou sighed in his heart. Now Qi Rongyin was placed somewhere unknown by the city lord. He couldn't contact Qi Rongyin. He might even go to the tower, not to mention helping Zhuang Yu.

While they were talking, another team of monks from the city lord's mansion hurried over, one of whom was Li Zhou.
