“You are…?”
They didn't react when the other party called them just now. It was not until they saw the other party's clothes clearly that they had a slight impression. It's just that their brains were stuck suddenly and they couldn't react.
Someone reacted very quickly, looking over with a big smile on his face, raised his hand to salute the group of Seventh Elders, and said quickly: "Hello, immortals. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am the state commander of the Great Xia Dynasty. Entrusted by the king, I implore you to slay the demons and save the people from danger."
"Boy, what are you doing? You are still standing here like a fool. Quickly kowtow to these immortals and pay your respects."
In order to broaden the horizons of his nephew, he was specially brought along on this operation. Everything else was fine except that he was a little slow in reaction, and he quietly reminded the other party at the first opportunity.
"My apologies, Immortals. This kid is just a little slow to react. I hope you won't mind. I'll tell you everything I know. Let's see what we need to do."
The provincial commander also looked very disappointed at this time. If he could seize such a good opportunity and join the Ye family, the leader of Zhongzhou swordsmanship, he would be able to bring glory to the family. However, he let this kid waste it in vain.
The Seventh Elder looked over with a puzzled look on his face, but since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had no right to speak. He could only ask first?
He quickly expressed his attitude and signaled everyone to stand up and speak. Don't be like that. They have just stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortals.
He supported the other with one hand and comforted him with the other, then said: "Everyone, please stand up first. As the saying goes, exorcising demons is our duty. Even if you don't come, we will send someone to deal with it. It's just that we have been delayed recently because of some things. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Here, on behalf of the Ye family, I apologize to you."
He spoke very sincerely, without hiding anything, and told the truth.
"Take your time, there's no rush..."
Seeing that the other party had let down his guard, the Seventh Elder understood that this was a good time to understand the situation.
It turned out that ten days ago, a group of mysterious men in black came to the area under his jurisdiction. Overnight, all the people in the eight villages, including men, women, young and middle-aged, disappeared.
"It seems that the demons are highly suspected in this matter. I just don't know why they arrested so many people? Are they hiding something?"
Some people were walking and talking as they rushed towards their destination, only to find that they were one step behind.
"No, this is still too slow. We can't keep up with the opponent's speed. Each of you should bring one with you on a flying sword. The opponent doesn't have many people either. Will this speed up the progress?"
The Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi, felt that if they rushed over at their current speed, the other party would have already swept through several villages like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"My fellow immortals, slow down a bit, it's too high, I'm dizzy from the sword?"
The state commander and others didn't have time to react. They felt their bodies suddenly touched the opponent's sword and were caught by the opponent like an eagle catching a chick. They flew on the sword and rushed to a place where flames were rising into the sky in the distance.
On the edge of the cliff, there are more than a hundred families scattered here and there. They go to bed at sunrise and go to bed at sunset. They have lived in this place for generations and led a peaceful life. Until one day, a group of people fell from the sky and their peaceful days were broken.
"Brothers, hurry up, for our Lord, is the sacrifice of these people worth it?"
They wore the same clothes, used the same weapons, and were completely covered in black robes. Their eyes flashed with ferocity, and like hunters staring at their prey, they drove all the more than one hundred households, regardless of gender or age, to a large square.
"Tell me, where are the others? I've checked, and there are at least several thousand of you, but we've only seen a few hundred. Have the others already gone into hiding?"
The leading man in black didn't believe what he saw. Judging from his intelligence, this group of people must have received some kind of information in advance, or they must have made preparations. This was intolerable.
"Why are you still so stubborn? It seems that if I don't give you some bones to eat, you don't know how powerful I am? In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
The black-robed man who was leading the group waved his hand, and more than a dozen other men in black stepped forward and directly pulled out their clan leader.
"You are the clan leader, right? Isn't it best for you to tell the truth about this matter? Don't waste our time, and don't lose the big picture because of the small. I'll give you one more minute to think about it?"
He grabbed the other person's shoulder with one hand and lifted the clan leader up. He kept struggling with his feet off the ground, but no one paid any attention to him.
"Three, two, one, time's up..."
Very good, I don't know who gave you the courage to be so uncooperative, but don't blame us for being rude. He is your clan leader, just treat him as a warning to the monkeys. I hope you will think it over carefully before doing anything?
"Chief, don't..."
The short old man, who usually gets along well with others, did not complain at all even when the enemy had a knife at his neck. Instead, he directly cursed the other party.
"Shameless, you are a bunch of shameless people. Even if I die here, I will not tell you, and our people will not tell you either. Just give up on this idea. Are you demons and humans not in the same boat?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, it successfully aroused the man's ferocity, and his eyes were shining with stars. He just needed an opportunity to be ignited.
"Haha, very good. In that case, don't blame me. I'll just send you on your way."
In front of everyone, with a click, the head just shrugged over and then thrown aside like garbage.
“Chief…”
In the midst of the outrage, no one dared to step forward to take action. Several young men wanted to step forward, but their fate was even worse than that of the patriarch. Their heads were cut off and their bodies were dismembered.
"Let's not waste time talking to them. Just tie them up. If anyone refuses to obey, just kill them. Of course, don't waste the bodies. They will be useful to you."
After the leading man in black spoke, the other dozen or so men in black came to Yangquan like tigers and started hunting mode directly.
After a few breaths, everything calmed down again.
"My Lord, we have completed the search. All these people are now our prey. What should we do next?"
After some operations, they dug deep into the ground to find out all the other people who were hiding there, and without exception, they all became their prisoners.
"Someone come and burn it for me, leaving not a single bit behind."
With a wave of his hand, fire sounded not far away, and countless lights shot up into the sky, appearing so harsh in the dark night.
"Let's go to the next place."
They came quickly and left quickly. All the houses of more than a hundred households in the village on the cliff were set on fire, burning through half the sky. The seven elders and their men were rushing over quickly.
"Look, is that it?"
Not far away, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky.
