The so-called secret conversations between the middle-aged men and the others fell into Shen Qiqi's ears, just like talking in her ears.
She heard the "secret conversation" of several people clearly, which probably means that if she is really Miss Shen Er, the people guarding the city must know her. She is already at the city gate, and the people guarding the city will definitely open fire when they see her. If the city gate is not opened, it means she is a fake.
Logically speaking, the thinking of the middle-aged man and the others was correct, and there was indeed nothing wrong with using the eyes of the city defender to confirm the identity of Miss Shen Er.
However, Shen Qiqi had a bad feeling in her heart.
They had been quarreling in front of the city gate for a long time, but the city gate was still closed. She could feel that there were many people standing behind the city gate, and she could clearly hear everyone's breathing and heartbeat.
And the voice she just announced when she announced her home was loud enough, and she was sure that the people behind the city gate definitely heard it.
But the city gate didn't open.
It was also quiet on the top of the city, not even a head curiously peeking under the city gate.
It was obvious that the people guarding the city either really didn't know her, or even though they knew who she was, they still refused to open the city gate for her to enter.
If it’s the former situation, it’s easy to say, but I’m afraid it’s the latter situation, because once the latter situation occurs, it means that Yuzhou City has changed hands: someone took advantage of Shen Mingyu’s absence from the clan to seize it. The position of the patriarch.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at the still silent city, her heart falling rapidly like a stone thrown off a cliff.
Xie Beiming and others also realized this, and their expressions became more solemn than the others.
Xie Beiming sent a message to Shen Qiqi: "Qiqi, it's the end of Yinshi now, we have to enter the city quickly."
Once the Chen hour comes, the cage-eyed ghosts will lose their ability to guide the way. Even if they know that Shen Ning'er is in Yuzhou City, Yuzhou City is so big that it is not easy to get someone out of the city.
The most important thing is that Shen Ning'er is in the dark and they are in the light. She is a living target, which will be very detrimental to them.
Shen Qiqi naturally knew this too. She looked at the skyline that was starting to turn red, and her heart was as anxious as a fire burning.
She needs to get into town quickly!
No more wasting time at the city gate!
Shen Qiqi closed her eyes slightly, quickly filtered out a few names from her memory, and then shouted those names loudly toward the city.
These people are all city defenders. The reason why Shen Qiqi can remember their names is because she heard them call each other when they went in and out of the city before.
I have to say that having a strong memory is a good skill.
After Shen Qiqi's voice carrying spiritual power reached the top of the city, there was a small commotion on the quiet top of the city——
"How does that girl know my name?"
"Is she really the second girl?"
"The second girl is in Wuji Sect now, how could she come back!"
"But she holds the clan master's token in her hand."
"That's why it's even more fake. Why don't you think about it? The master's token is such an important thing. The master carries it with him at all times. How could he give it to other people randomly?"
"That's right, evil spirits are raging outside the city now, and the sect master is not here. The fifth elder said that we must be extra vigilant and be more cautious than usual. We would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Evil spirits have entered the city!"
"Yes, yes, there are a large number of people gathered in the city now. If we let evil spirits into the city, the people will become turtles in a urn and meat on the chopping board!"
"So for the sake of safety, we'd better wait until the sun rises completely. Evil spirits are afraid of the sun. If those people outside the city can withstand the sun's exposure, it won't be too late for us to open the city gate and let them in."
…
The city was quiet again.
Shen Qiqi listened to the low-pitched conversations of those on the top of the city, word for word, and remained silent.
She looked at the Patriarch's Token in her hand, her brows twisted into two black knots, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just like those people on the top of the city said, the family head's token is too important. When the token is there, the person is there. If the token changes hands, it means that the previous family head has passed away.
In the current situation in Yuzhou City, the fact that my father was seriously injured and unconscious must not be announced to the public rashly, or it will cause greater panic among the people.
She originally thought that she could prove her identity by taking out the Patriarch's Token, but she didn't expect that it would have the opposite effect.
The only thing that can comfort her now is that she got a very important piece of news from the conversations of those on the top of the city: Yuzhou City has not been occupied by people.
The city gate was strictly guarded by the fifth elder. The reason was that the evil spirits were raging outside the city recently. The people under the jurisdiction of the Shen family in Yuzhou were now taking refuge in Yuzhou City, so the city gate had to be guarded strictly to prevent the evil spirits from sneaking in and harming the people.
But the biggest evil right now is within the city.
Shen Ning'er has now surrendered to Jiuying. Shen Qiqi knows without much thought that the evil spirits raging outside the city must have been released by Shen Ning'er. And Shen Ning'er is now in Yuzhou City. God knows how many that woman has brought with her. Evil spirits have entered the city!
She couldn't spend any more time here, she had to catch Shen Ning'er and Shen Ning'er's evil army before the caged-eyed ghost expired.
Shen Qiqi: "Instead of entering from the city gate, we enter from the top of the city. I know where the entrance to the city protection barrier is."
In order to protect the safety of the people in the city, as well as for their own safety, each aristocratic family will set up a protective barrier around their respective city to prevent evil spirits from entering.
Of course, this kind of city protection barrier can only stop some ordinary evil spirits, such as the big evil spirits like Jiu Ying. Not to mention one city protection barrier, even a hundred city protection barriers are useless.
Now Shen Qiqi only prays that Shen Ning'er is the only one entering the city. If Jiuying is also in the city, she is afraid that Yuzhou City will end up like Canglanghai and become the second ghost town.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi did not dare to delay any longer and was about to lead everyone to fly up to the city with their swords. Xie Beiming suddenly grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute, we can't force our way in like this."
He pointed upward and motioned Shen Qiqi to look up. Shen Qiqi looked up and found that the top of the city was densely packed with people. Everyone had their swords unsheathed and spears in their hands. They were prepared carefully, and if Shen Qiqi dared to break through, they would immediately fight tooth and nail.
Shen Qiqi fell silent.
Those on the top of the city are all members of their Shen clan.
The sword in her hand can kill evil spirits, but she cannot point the blade at her own people.
She couldn't get rid of that hand.
But if she doesn't force her way in, is there any other way for her to get into the city?
It’s really frustrating to be blocked at the door of your own home by your family!
Shen Qiqi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. From the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught a glimpse of azure blue clothes. She rolled her eyes and thought of something. Her eyes suddenly brightened up and she quickly said to Jiang Xiyan: "Jiang Xiyan, hurry up, hurry up, take off your big dick." Let the birds out!”
