Chapter 92 The Fall of Duan City

In the past four years, Chen Li and Liu Ai have returned to the Liu family three times, on average once a year, and only stayed for a few days at a time.

Counting the time, it's almost time to go back and take a look.

Chen Li asked: "Do you want to go back?"

"Yes." Liu Ai nodded, "I want to see my father."

In such a large Liu family, Liu Wanyuan is the only one who really deserves to be remembered by Liu Ai.

Chen Li can also see that Liu Wanyuan is extremely important to Liu Ai. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the spiritual sustenance of her mother after her death.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Li feels very complicated every time he accompanies Liu Ai back to Liu's house.

Because he was the only one who knew that Liu Wanyuan was a ghost. He couldn't imagine what Liu Ai would become if he found out that his father was a ghost.

He became famous all over the world two years ago. Since then, when he returned to Liu's house, he could find some changes in the way Liu Wanyuan looked at him.

Among them, there is curiosity and a hint of hidden hostility.

In the past, because his strength was not enough to compete with Liu Wanyuan, Chen Lidu chose to turn a blind eye and decided to let nature take its course.

But now that he has entered the heart of the sword and is in the middle stage of foundation building, although Liu Wanyuan is powerful, the threat he can bring to him has become limited, and he also has the ability to interfere.

As his strength increases, Chen Li can roughly estimate what level of strength Liu Wanyuan is.

Converted to the human realm, that would be a strong swordsman, and the best in swordsmanship.

At first, Chen Li learned about the power of ghosts from Liu Ai.

At that time, she said that the strength of ghosts was ranked according to their status, and ghosts without status were mostly weak ghosts.

But when he came to Jianzong, Chen Li learned more detailed facts from Jiang Xuantong.

There is no doubt that the level of identity must represent the strength of strength. However, there are some ghosts who are free from the restrictions of these identities. Even if they have no identity, they are still very powerful. Among them, the ghosts at the Kenshin level are not even few.

It is said that ghosts with identities are controlled by the Ghost King, while ghosts without identities act independently without any restrictions.

Is Liu Wanyuan a Ten Heavenly Ghost?

Chen Li doesn't know.

He just wanted to know why Liu Wanyuan, as Liu Ai's father, turned into a ghost, and why he hid his identity and mingled with the Liu family after becoming a ghost.

It is impossible for ghosts to be exposed to the sun and remain unharmed, not even the ghost king. This is what Jiang Xuantong told Chen Li.

Liu Wanyuan seems to be a special case.

Chen Li did not reveal the fact that Liu Wanyuan was a ghost to Jiang Xuantong, for fear that Liu Wanyuan would be killed by Jiang Xuantong all of a sudden, and Liu Ai would be very uncomfortable by then.

It can only be said that Liu Wanyuan is a trouble, and Chen Li has not found a solution so far.

"Can you go back with me tomorrow?" Liu Ai looked at Chen Li and asked softly.

"can."

Seeing that Chen Li agreed, Liu Ai's eyebrows were curved, her cheeks were reddish under the light of the charcoal fire, and she smiled and said, "Yes."

……

The two agreed to return to Liu's house tomorrow.

But the next day, bad news about the Liu family came immediately.

"Du'an City fell?!"

Chen Li was a little surprised, and Liu Ai, who was standing next to him, suddenly stiffened when he heard the news, and subconsciously tightened his grip on Chen Li's clothes.

"Correct."

The Jian Sect disciple who came to report the news nodded.

Because it concerns Du'an City, and Du'an City is the hometown of the two disciples of the great elder of the Sword Sect, I came here to spread the news.

However, due to the slow speed of information dissemination in this world, nearly twenty days have passed since the incident occurred in Du'an City. "The entire city of Du'an is covered by a strange barrier. What's going on inside is unknown to the outside world."

"This kind of handwriting... is definitely the work of a twenty-fourth wheel ghost... or even a ten-day ghost." The disciple who reported the news had a heavy face.

The fall of a city is not uncommon in this world.

Once it happens, usually all the humans inside will be spared and become a paradise for ghosts. When the humans inside are completely extinct, the ghosts will also leave the city, and the city will become a veritable dead city.

There are more than 3,000 cities in the world like Du'an City, where only Tongyou experts are the strongest.

Precisely because the strongest among them was Tongyou, the disciples who came to report the news already regarded this city as a dead city in their hearts.

"Twenty days have passed, and there is probably already..."

"No!" Liu Ai came back to her senses. Tears silently ran down her cheeks. Her eyes were red. "There are many strong people in Du'an City. Even if they are attacked by ghosts, they will not fall so quickly!"

"I'm going back now!"

"Wait!" Chen Li grabbed Liu Ai who was about to leave.

When Chen Li held her hand, Liu Ai stopped immediately. She lowered her head and her voice was trembling: "I don't want you to go back with me. This time, I want to go back alone."

She knew that Du'an City had become extremely dangerous, and it was not an exaggeration to say it was a forbidden area for humans, so she didn't want Chen Li to take risks with her.

For a city that has fallen, people usually surround the city from the outside instead of actively entering. After all, the interior of a fallen city is extremely dangerous and is the home of ghosts. In this case, the outcome of people entering the rescue is to die. , will only increase casualties.

The ghosts will always leave one day, and what they have to do is to surround and suppress the ghosts when they leave and avenge the dead people.

Although helpless, this is the best choice we can make based on lessons learned from the past.

Of course, people do not completely ignore the cities occupied by ghosts.

At this time, various sects and other cities usually issue rescue missions.

Rescue missions are rich in rewards, but have extremely high mortality rates.

There are only a few people who dare to take on such a rescue mission.

"The sect has issued an emergency rescue mission, but no one has taken it yet." The disciple who reported the news added.

After saying that, he excused himself to the two of them and turned to leave.

"I won't let you be alone." Chen Li said solemnly.

Something happened in Du'an City. Does it have anything to do with Liu Wanyuan?

He pondered inwardly and said to Liu Ai: "You and I have become brothers and sisters. Naturally, I can't stand by and watch you take risks alone."

On the top of the huge mountain, only Chen Li and Liu Ai were there for the time being.

Feeling the warmth of Chen Li's palm, Liu Ai calmed down a little, but the worries in her heart kept making it difficult for her to calm down.

"Du'an City has fallen, even Kenshin... is in danger of falling. Do you really want to go with me..."

Liu Ai didn't dare to look at Chen Li, still lowering his head.

Chen Li did not hesitate and said: "Of course."

These two simple words made Liu Ai burst into tears instantly.

She suddenly turned around and hugged Chen Li directly, her whole body trembling.

"Why……"

"You want to be so nice to me?"

"You might die..."
