The shadow of the city wall outside the south gate of Jiankang City is also filled with cold winter. The grass on the road not far away is already lush, but the ground covered by the shadow of the city wall has not yet revealed any greenness.

A young Taoist came out of the south gate. He held a few rolls of silk books in his hand and walked along the shadow of the city wall towards a Taoist temple not far outside the city.

That Taoist temple is called the Nanmen Taoist temple. Because Xiao Yan had only respected the Buddha Sect before, this Taoist temple had long been neglected, and it had even become a warehouse for the city gate garrison to accumulate food and grass. However, after Xiao Yan was locked in the Jingyuan in Huxin and Qi Zhuji and others returned to Jiankang, this situation changed.

Some Taoist practitioners also returned to Jiankang, and some Taoist practitioners who were originally stuck in the Southern Dynasties and were not allowed to be reused were also treated fairly.

Although the Nanmen Taoist Temple had long declined, several old Taoists from the Nanmen Taoist Temple secretly preserved some of the classics of the Nanmen Taoist Temple. When Qi Zhuji borrowed the classics from various sects, these old Taoists also handed over these classics, and then quickly gained more goodwill rewards from Tie Ce Army.

The Nanmen Taoist Temple was handed over to the hands of these old Taoists and quickly repaired accordingly.

Even Tie Ce Army drove some spiritual ice containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the Nanmen Taoist Temple, which made this declining place of practice suddenly rejuvenate.

This young Taoist was the disciples accepted by the old Taoist in the early years. During the years when the Dao Sect was in decline, the young Taoist had not changed his sect. Like those old Taoists, he was originally familiar with many defenders of the Nanmen City Guards. Before the arrival of Linghuang, he would sometimes do something for the city guards, and in the eyes of those city guards, he also seemed very effective in doing things for the city guards.

After Qi Zhuji and Tie Ce Army strongly entered Jiankang City, the military seemed to have handed over the cases of all the cultivators in the city to Qi Zhuji. Later, Tie Ce Army specially allocated some spiritual ice to this Taoist temple, and some generals of the city gate guard also speculated that it was related to this young Taoist.

The selection of Tie Ce Army is completely different from any powerful candidates in the Southern Dynasties before.

They seem to pay more attention to the person's character and whether they have some of the characteristics they need, and do not care about the person's cultivation potential and background at all, and they don't even care about the person's age.

During the days when Qi Zhuji returned, it is said that he had recruited many people from all over the Southern Dynasty to directly enter the old land of Qiyun Academy, and then provide those people with their practice.

It is said that most of those people are not practitioners, and some are not young. Before that, those people would not enter the sight of various practice areas in the Southern Dynasties. Because according to fixed thinking, or according to the verification and experience of many years of past years, if their families are too poor and have no support, and if they have not yet been exposed to practice at all at a certain age, then the person will have very little room for growth in the future. Even if they can become practitioners through diligent study and practice, the entire dynasty and all practice areas will naturally be more willing to use precious practice resources on younger practitioners who are more promising than them.

But the Tie Ce Army is completely different.

Some of those who were selected into the old place of Qiyun Academy were even close to forty years old, but they had no real contact with practice before the arrival of Linghuang.

However, the Tie Ce Army ignored these things. The Tie Ce Army would continue to consume the extremely precious spiritual ice transported from Dangxiang thousands of miles away on these people.

In this regard, many people think that young people like Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji are a bit willful and nonsense.

But on the contrary, many low-level generals of this dynasty had no way to look at it from a certain level before, but they felt that there was no problem with the Tie Cejun's approach.

Many generals who have experienced border troops have always recognized that over the years, the Northern Wei Dynasty has become increasingly powerful, not because the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty is richer than that of the Southern Dynasty, but because the courage of the "Northern Barbarians" seems to have become a fixed characteristic.

They all feel that sometimes a certain characteristic is more important than better weapons and equipment.

The Tie Ce Army has very different characteristics.

Their approach seems to be possible to tell the Southern Dynasties some unique truths and to form some traits that were not previously possessed at the root.

The young Taoist was named Jiang Yun. He knew better than the generals of the city gate guards what kind of preferential treatment he and the Nanmen Taoist Temple received. He was not sure whether the practice scriptures preserved by his teachers had any effect on the Tie Ce Army. However, after the Tie Ce Army returned the scriptures, in addition to Ling Bing, the Tie Ce Army also gave back some practice scriptures.

Although those practice scriptures were just copybooks, he was surely from Qiyun Academy and Jiange that year.

These classics are more excellent than similar classics from their Nanmen Taoist Temple.

Walking in the shadow of the city wall at this time, he was still thinking about yesterday

A volume of classics studied by Japan, but suddenly, he felt an inexplicable chill.

This chill is countless times colder than the accumulated cold in the city walls, making his heart feel like it is going to be frozen and stop beating in an instant.

This chill seemed to be because someone's eyes stayed on him for a short moment on the road outside the city.

He turned around in shock and looked towards the road outside the city.

He saw an old horse.

There is a man above the old horse.

The man seemed to have nothing special, and he was even a little lonely.

But he felt that the man looked familiar.

Then in the next moment, he suddenly thought of who this person might be.

He thought of this person's appearance, which should be familiar to most people in this city.

He was so shocked that he could not describe it in words. His whole body seemed to be frozen and could not move at all.

The city gatekeeper also quickly noticed the man.

It's just that no one can disturb the man.

Nothing happened.

Because even the soldiers at the city gate were unable to move at all by an inexplicable force.

As the old horse and the man passed through the city gate, time seemed to freeze to the people around the city gate.

After the old horse and the figure of this man disappeared from their sight, the bodies of all the soldiers and generals of the city gatekeeper seemed to be back under their control.

Everyone started to breathe violently and sweat.

The Demon Sect, when he appeared in Jiankang City last time, his name brought more disgust and hatred to the people of the Southern Dynasty.

A practitioner who had defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years became the biggest enemy of the Southern Dynasty. He died because of him in the hands of the Northern Wei people, and countless practitioners and soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who died, but he suddenly came back and became the arm of the Southern Dynasty royal family.

This made it unacceptable to almost all people in the Southern Dynasty.

A beast with the blood of his relatives dripping from the corner of his mouth suddenly turned into a docile watchdog, so that he could completely ignore what he had done before?

This was what many people in the Southern Dynasty thought at that time.

However, when he appeared again, the name brought no longer disgust to everyone in Jiankang City, but more of it was already deep fear.

...

"Confirmed?"

Qi Zhuji asked with his eyebrows locked, looking at a practitioner from the Iron Army.

"Confirmed."

The practitioner of the Tie Ce Army was also very nervous, with sweat on his forehead, but his voice was not slow at all. "After entering the city from the southern city gate, thirteen practitioners had seen him, and at least seven of them must be him."

"I don't know where he went now?" Qi Zhuji nodded.

"He didn't fight with anyone." The Tiece Army soldier said: "No one was killed."

"Don't have any conflicts with him."

Qi Zhuji took a deep breath, and in just one breath, he had already made up his mind, "Let Wang Pingyang and the others hide quickly, and even if he starts to kill people, all our practitioners will stay away from him as much as possible, so that the military people will be the same. Even if he wants to go to the Southern Dynasty Palace to burn the palace, he will let him."

"good."

The practitioner of the Iron Army had no nonsense and was ordered to leave immediately.

"Demon Sect..."

After the sergeant of the Tie Ce Army left, Qi Zhuji's face quickly turned pale, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

In the eyes of Lin Yi and others, the Demon Sect is always the most terrifying enemy, especially after Lin Yi and Chen Ziyun and others were in the deserted garden for a while, the top practitioners of the Southern Dynasties felt that the Demon Sect was even more terrifying than the descendants of the You Emperor.

So during these days, all the measures of their Tie Ce Army were waiting for the reappearance of the Demon Sect, and all their preparations were preparing to deal with this enemy that seemed to be unable to cope with at the moment.

The Demon Sect disappeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The descendants of Emperor You who once controlled him were also in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At this time, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the descendants of Emperor You started a decisive battle in Guanlong. In their plans and imagination, even if the Demon Sect suddenly reappeared on earth, the place where he should appear the most was the Northern Wei Dynasty.

What value does Jiankang of the Southern Dynasty have to him?

How could he suddenly appear in Jiankang in this way after he was reborn?

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Qi Zhuji gritted his teeth, and he heard the sound of his teeth rubbing against his teeth.

He could not predict what the Demon Sect wanted to do, but in addition to Lin Yi, in their plan, Wang Pingyang, Huang Qiutang and Wang Xianrui were also the most important part of dealing with the Demon Sect in the future.

At this time, the three of them had made amazing progress in the pharmacology of the True Energy of the Demon Sect. Could it be that the Demon Sect already knew this secret, so he rushed to Jiankang as soon as possible?

If he had already determined the whereabouts of these three people, with the power in Jiankang City at this time, he would not be able to stop him from killing.

The entire Jiankang City looks the same as usual, and there is no difference.

However, as the news spread, all the important figures in the whole city were trembling.

Everyone was frightened.

If the Demon Sect starts killing people, perhaps they can begin to infer what the Demon Sect is going to do when it comes, but the city seems to be very calm all the time. Even as this fear spreads, as everyone avoids and hides as much as possible, the whole city is calmer than usual.

...

The sound of horse hooves sounded on the mountain road outside the Nantianyuan.

A lazy old horse appeared outside the gate of the Nantianyuan with a somewhat lonely and lonely man.

The number of defenders around the Nantianyuan has decreased a lot, but there are more or less garrisons. These soldiers and practitioners in the Nantianyuan have received news before. Looking at the Demon Sect that appeared in the Nantianyuan, none of these people dared to go up to the Demon Sect, and none of them dared to go up to ask what the Demon Sect was going to do.

If I had been to Jiankang last time, this city and everyone here would be like this, the Demon Sect might have a strong feeling and would be in a particularly good mood.

However, walking in the largest and most prosperous city in the south and coming to one of the most important practice places in the south, the fear and avoidance of these people made him feel like he was walking through the empty city and the dead road, but it made him feel that the world was more unreal and farther away from him.

But is this the situation he was pursuing to achieve before?

The Demon Sect cannot give itself an answer.

Just like he himself didn't know why he wanted to come here.
