498: In Xining City, Wu Family Wedding Banquet

Night.

Outside Xining City, at the peak of a mountain five li away, the ancient warship landed, and everyone flew down, Li Ruoyu put away the ancient warship.

“......”

Xie Weilou looked at Xining City in the distance.

According to the contents of the scroll given by Song Shenfeng, there are two major forces in Xining City: Wu Family Fortress and the City Guard Mansion.

Wu Family Fortress is a cultivator family with three hundred members, and its backing is the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, for whom they raise over a thousand demonic beasts.

At the same time, there are also members of the Demon Race entrenched in Wu Family Fortress, who have refined many Demon-Humans.

The City Guard Mansion was fully aware of what Wu Family Fortress was doing, but did not report it to the imperial court, indicating collusion with Wu Family Fortress, and even participating in the raising of demonic beasts and the refining of Demon-Humans.

Yan Quanzhen said, “According to the information I have, the City Guard Mansion has three thousand soldiers, a portion of whom have been refined into Demon-Humans.”

Within the Great Xia territory, openly refining Demon-Humans is simply courting death.

“Enter the City first!”

Xie Weilou said with a calm expression.

After speaking, he flew forward.

Everyone followed closely.

Not long after.

Everyone arrived below the City, the City gates were tightly shut, with some soldiers standing on top; these soldiers looked haggard, their faces dark, and their bodies carried faint demonic energy.

This was clearly caused by prolonged erosion from demonic energy.

“Cultivators!”

When these soldiers saw Xie Weilou and the others, their eyes narrowed.

One of the soldiers quickly asked, “May I ask, esteemed sirs, where do you come from?”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, “We are from the Tai Xuan Sect, passing through this place, and have come to stay for a night.”

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately said, “Esteemed sirs, please wait, I will report to the City Guard immediately!”

Saying this, he took out a jade talisman and whispered something.

After a while.

The soldier said to Xie Weilou and the others, “Esteemed sirs, tonight is the wedding of the City Guard’s daughter and the young master of Wu Family Fortress, he is temporarily unable to leave, please enter the City directly, you can then go to Wu Family Fortress for the wedding banquet!”

“Good!”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.

Boom!

The soldier waved his hand, and the City gate quickly opened.

“......”

Xie Weilou and the others directly entered the City.

“Esteemed sirs......”

The soldier looked at the figures of Xie Weilou and the others, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Xie Weilou stopped, smiled, and asked, “Something wrong?”

The soldier quickly shook his head and said, “Nothing, nothing! It’s just that the City has been experiencing demonic disturbances recently, the common people don’t dare to go out, please be careful.”

“Thank you for the reminder.”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly, then led everyone to continue walking forward.

The lights in the City were very bright, but few people could be seen, various taverns and teahouses were all closed, and the surroundings appeared desolate.

Some common people quietly opened their windows and looked at Xie Weilou and the others, then quickly closed their windows again, appearing very anxious and afraid.

Recently, Xining City had indeed been experiencing demonic disturbances; people mysteriously disappeared, and some even saw the figures of demons, so now everyone dared not go out, fearing being targeted by demons.

“The demonic energy there is so Rich!”

Zhou Lianyi looked at a location ahead, where the sky was tinged with a reddish hue, and the demonic energy was extremely Rich; that was the territory of Wu Family Fortress.

“Tonight, we can feast.”

Xie Weilou’s smile was very wide as he continued walking forward.

At the same time.

Wu Family Fortress was adorned with lanterns and streamers, with music and singing gradually rising, making it extraordinarily lively.

In the large courtyard, numerous guests were gathered, including many rogue cultivators.

Everyone was eating meat and drinking wine heartily, but deep in their eyes, there was a hint of vigilance.

They had come at the invitation of Wu Family Fortress, but after entering Xining City, they clearly felt that something was amiss here.

Especially this Wu Family Fortress, which was even more bizarre, carrying demonic energy and being very sinister; they naturally had to be on guard.

In a grand hall.

A middle-aged man was holding a wine cup; he looked at a blue-robed woman in front of him and mused, “The guards just sent word that over thirty young cultivators from the Tai Xuan Sect have entered Xining City, and they will likely arrive at Wu Family Fortress very soon.”

This middle-aged man was none other than Wang Xun, the City Guard of Xining City.

The blue-robed woman said indifferently, “It’s fine if they come!”

Wang Xun said gravely, “The recent commotion has been considerable, we still need to be cautious.”

The blue-robed woman said, “What is there to fear? Tonight, several distinguished guests will arrive at my Wu Family Fortress, a group of young cultivators from the Tai Xuan Sect, at most at the Dao Repository Realm even if they fight to the death, how much trouble can they cause?”

A sinister smile appeared on her face: “It’s good if they don’t come, but since they have, we can use them to refine Demon-Humans. Ordinary Demon-Humans are, after all, not as powerful as those refined from cultivators.”

This time, Wu Family Fortress invited many rogue cultivators here, naturally to capture them and refine another batch of powerful Demon-Humans.

Today’s Wu Family Fortress is extremely powerful, with numerous demonic beasts and Demon-Humans, and a major sect as its backing; any outsiders who dare to be presumptuous will meet their demise!

“That’s true.”

Wang Xun nodded slightly.

— — — — — —

Not long after.

Xie Weilou and the others arrived outside Wu Family Fortress.

Wu Family Fortress was extremely massive, like an inner City, surrounded by towering reddish-yellow City walls.

Inside, there were numerous palaces and pavilions, magnificent and opulent, places where ordinary common people had no right to enter.

“......”

Xie Weilou unleashed his soul and conducted a thorough investigation.

Within this Wu Family Fortress, there were over a thousand demonic beasts and over a thousand Demon-Humans gathered, and the demonic energy was extremely Rich.

“May I ask if you are fellow Daoists from the Tai Xuan Sect?”

At the main entrance, a disciple of Wu Family Fortress stepped forward to inquire.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Precisely!”

The Wu Family Fortress disciple’s face broke into a smile, and he quickly said, “The Fortress Lord has given orders that all of you may enter our Wu Family Fortress directly. Tonight is our young master’s wedding, you may eat and drink to your heart’s content, and if you need anything, just call out to a servant.”

“Very well!”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly.

“Please!”

The Wu Family Fortress disciple extended his hand.

“......”

Xie Weilou and the others then entered Wu Family Fortress.

In the large courtyard.

There were probably seventy or eighty people, with rogue cultivators making up more than half; however, at a glance, the strength of these rogue cultivators was generally weaker, with only a few in the Shackles Realm, so they were not worth much attention.

Xie Weilou and the others intentionally revealed their Xuanhuang Realm aura and casually found seats.

“They are all in the Xuanhuang Realm!”

These rogue cultivators investigated and couldn’t help but mutter.

“A bunch of Xuanhuang Realm cultivators, not worth fearing.”

The cultivators of Wu Family Fortress were also secretly investigating.

After discovering the results, they sneered, it seemed they were just a group of small fry from the Tai Xuan Sect, in that case, they were not worth much.

“With over a thousand demonic beasts and over a thousand Demon-Humans, how does Elder Xie plan to proceed?”

Zhou Lianyi asked via telepathic message.

Xie Weilou replied, “Let’s wait a bit longer and see if there are any slightly bigger fish.”

This Wu Family Fortress is backed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and behind the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, which has significant ties to the Demon Race. It remains to be seen if there will be any slightly bigger fish.

If not, then it would be too boring.

“That makes sense.”

Zhou Lianyi nodded slightly.

If there were only this many demonic beasts and Demon-Humans, they wouldn’t be able to withstand their slaughter; hopefully, some more formidable characters would appear, that would be more interesting.

“Distinguished guests arrive!”

Just then, a powerful voice rang out.
