Qingzhou, in a city.

Demons are entrenched in the city, corpses are everywhere, and blood is spilled on the collapsed buildings.

Some demons gnawed on the remains of some soldiers on the ground, hollowing out their internal organs, strewn with organs, and scattering severed hands and feet.

Some of the survivors in the city were driven into open spaces with destroyed buildings everywhere, and were penned up like pigs in a pigsty, trembling.

Coolie traders, scholars, scholars, and warriors are all crowded together at this moment, without distinction, they are all fish and meat on the demon's chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

There was a frail and pretty lady from an aristocratic family who wanted to cry, but her mouth was covered for fear of angering these monsters.

To the demons, their grief is nothing but noise.

"Who can come and save us..."

Everyone was in panic, looking longingly into the distance, praying for Dayu's army to come and suppress the demon.

From time to time, someone would be picked out and taken to a nearby fire to be roasted, causing bursts of screams to make the remaining people tremble.

Some people were so frightened that they urinated and excreted, and collapsed on the ground. When the demon picked them up, their whole bodies were as limp as if they were boneless.

High in the sky, a figure sitting on the fire roared from a distance.

Passing by this city, the speed slowed down slightly. When the tragic scene inside the city was clearly seen, the face of the young man in the blazing fire was gloomy. It was not obvious how he acted, and a breeze suddenly blew between the sky and the earth.

This breeze turned into dozens of sharp sword energy, which were shot out as fast as a shadow.

The demons in the city fell one by one. The remaining ones were alarmed by the strange changes, but could not see the enemy. When the demon corpses were everywhere, they noticed the young man sitting on the back of the red flame demon above them.

Waves of frightened roars and pleas rang out, but without exception, they were all penetrated by sword energy through their heads.

Within a few breaths, all the demons in the city were dead.

Only corpses were left, and the demons that were still gnawing had their unswallowed arms in their mouths and fell into the dust.

This sudden change stunned all the survivors in the city who were waiting to be slaughtered. Among the warriors, there were also masters of the Immortal Realm who kept a low profile and were waiting for opportunities. At this moment, they quickly noticed the red flame demon in the sky.

, and the figure of the young man on his back.

"Someone is here to save us!"

"It's a general from the imperial court. It must be a general from the imperial court!"

"That's the general's mount, that's not a demon!"

In an instant, following the shouts of some warriors, others also belatedly saw the red flame figure above the city. Some old mortals were dim-sighted and could not see that far. They could only see a ball of fire.

Like a god hanging in the air, they knew that it was the savior, the roaring generals in the court.

For a time, all the survivors in the city were sad, kneeling down and shouting in gratitude.

Li Hao sighed softly, got rid of these monsters, and after confirming that nothing was missing, let the Candle Fire God continue on his way to the next city.

Before returning to Liangzhou, he thought of the city where a large number of people had been devastated, which he had seen earlier, and it was just in time to solve the problem when he returned.

Some cities have been quelled by the Li family's army, and some have not yet had time. Some of the demons in these cities have retreated, while some greedy ones still occupy the cities and harm the people.

The faster you regain lost territory, the fewer casualties you will suffer.

Not long after Li Hao left, two figures came roaring towards him, one old and one young.

The young girl in blue clothes looked down at the city, and then raised her hand. On her wrist was a golden bracelet with nine small bells on it, which made a crisp tinkling sound.

Afterwards, jet-black auras were seen flying from all over the city, and screams and ferocious roars seemed to come from inside, heading towards the bell on his wrist.

Not long after, all the black air that flew out from the corpses and cracks in the broken walls was absorbed and disappeared.

Ying Xiaoxiao put down her wrist, looked at the dilapidated scene in the city, shook her head slightly, and then continued to fly out following the old man at the tea stall beside her.

About two hours after they left, the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the ground in the distance, and battle flags were flying. It was the troops sent by the Li family to quell the rebellion.

When the army entered the city, they were all shocked to see the demons that had been eliminated long ago.

After asking the warriors in the city and some famous family members, I learned that a general riding a big red demon came here and wiped out all the demons.

After hearing their descriptions, these Li family soldiers all looked at each other in shock.

The scene above Qingzhou City is still vivid in their minds, and they may not be able to forget it for decades to come. Isn't that General Haotian?

When the common people asked the officers about the general's name, the Li family officers did not hide it.

Soon, the word "Haotian" spread around these survivors, and some merchant families proposed that when rebuilding the city, they would build a golden body for General Haotian to suppress demons and build a temple for him.

…

…

In less than a day, Li Hao rode the Candle Fire God and circled most of Qingzhou. It was not until there was no trace of the demon in more than a dozen cities that Li Hao changed direction and asked the Candle Fire God to go to Liangzhou.

The rest of the place can be left to the Li family's army to slowly clean up.

The next day.

In the slightly humid morning mist, Li Hao sat on the back of the Candle God and arrived at the border of Liangzhou.

When he saw the familiar Longguan Road, Li Hao's eyes showed a sense of nostalgia.

Viewed from a high altitude, this former Longguan Road looks like a giant dragon extending from the border, with lush greenery on both sides and the chirping of forest birds and animals.

Li Hao got off the back of the Candle Fire God and asked the Candle Fire God to turn into a human form so as not to scare the people in the city.

When the two of them walked towards Longguan Road, suddenly, an old man's shout came from behind.

"Young man, are you going to Cangya City?"

Li Hao turned around and saw a pair of grandfather and grandson collecting herbs. Their baskets were filled with herbs, mushrooms and other items picked early in the morning.

He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. It was as if time had returned to two years ago.

The old man in front of him obviously did not recognize the young man in front of him. He was the young man who advised him not to step into Longguandao two years ago.

But Li Hao recognized the other party, he smiled and said: "Yes, go to Cangya City."

"Longguan Road is ahead."

The old man shouted to Li Hao. These familiar words were exactly the same as before. Li Hao was slightly startled, but the old man had a smile on his face and shouted:

"I wish you young heroes from aristocratic families a bright future!"

A smile slowly appeared on Li Hao's face and he said: "I also wish you a good harvest every day."

The old man smiled, waved his hand, and left with his grandson.

They are all passers-by in the human world, encountering each other in a hurry, giving simple care and simple blessings.

Li Hao watched the old and the young go away, then turned around with a smile and continued walking towards Longguandao.

Two years have passed, and things have really changed a lot here.

The dangerous place in the past now has some signs of prosperity. Those young people who continuously come here to visit and pursue fame have obviously brought a green leaf to the lushness here.

There is one less tea stall on Longguan Road, but there are many more vendors on the roadside. Li Hao's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and he is walking more relaxedly. He feels as if he is going home.

Feng Lao must have been waiting for a long time, Qianqian must have reached a bottleneck in cultivation.

The strange state of the little white fox, I wonder if it has digested it.

Many thoughts surged in his mind, and soon, Li Hao arrived at Cangya City.

Looking at this city, it is covered by a magic circle, and the city is covered with flags, with his name written on them, fluttering in the strong wind.

Li Hao covered Xi Yan's body with the Tao Domain to cover her aura, and Li Hao didn't have to worry about the God of Candle Fire. Except for the magic circle in the imperial capital, few other magic circles could sense the existence of the Taiping Tao Domain.

This is the upper limit of Si Tianjian's ability.

After all, the old Da Sitian has passed away, and his successors seem to have failed to pass on his abilities.

After entering the city, in just a few months, the changes here have become somewhat obvious. The streets are cleaner, and there are more vendors in the city, but they are more orderly.

This is a border city, and it is rare to have such an atmosphere.

Compared with the increasingly crowded city, there is a vast isolated open space in the center of the city. In the center of the open space is just a simple and simple fenced courtyard.

In the darkness outside the small courtyard, there are soldiers of the Celestial Master Realm patrolling in secret.

Li Hao swept away with his mind and saw the girl dancing the sword in the small courtyard. He smiled slightly and said through the message:

"I'm back."

In the courtyard, Ren Qianqian, who was practicing swordplay, was stunned and immediately looked around in shock.

Soon, she realized something, rushed out of the small fenced courtyard, and saw the young man not far outside the courtyard.

"Young Master?"

Ren Qianqian was a little stunned. The appearance of the young man in front of her changed a little, but the tone of her mind made her immediately recognize that it was Li Hao.

However, when those people arrived and saw Li Hao's clone dissipated, didn't they say that the young master was dead?

Ren Qianqian was a little confused and suspected that she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes. When she saw clearly again, she suddenly burst into tears and ran towards Li Hao.

"Master, you are still alive..."

She threw herself into Li Hao's arms and cried.
