River City, as its name implied, was built near a river. Small bridges and flowing water could be seen all over the city. Usually, River City would give off a peaceful feeling, but now, it was bustling with activity and flourishing with life.

Zi Ruo and Moon Spirit walked at the front side, with Wu Kong and Luo Liya following closely behind. Luo Lei was at the back, so they didn't bring any servants or guards from the military governor's mansion.

Yue Ling and Zi Ruo had never been to River City before, so they felt that everything was new. Looking left and right, not long after, the Moon Spirit's hands were filled with small things, and Zi Ruo was looking at the smiling Moon Spirit with a loving and harmonious scene. Wu Kong had been living in River City for a while, and although they were familiar with each other, this was the first time he had seen such a lively scene, her handsome face was filled with excitement as she pointed towards the distance, letting Luo Li Ya see.

"Elder sister, look, there's a lion dancer over there. Hurry over!"

"Aiya, there are even people showing off their skills over there. Let's go!"

"Elder sister, do you want to pinch a clay figurine? It's so fun to watch! "

Wu Kong held onto Luo Liya's hand all the way while running around. After all, he had separated himself from the moon spirit and Zi Ruo. Meanwhile, Luo Lei followed closely behind them like a piece of candy.

At this moment, Luo Liya was standing in the crowd, watching the acrobatics performance. When she caught a glimpse of his indifferent expression, she couldn't help but extend her hand to pull him towards her, "Second Brother, come over here so you can see."

Her voice was very soft, but Rollie heard it. The indifference on his face disappeared and was replaced with a bright smile. He stood next to Lorya, his eyes unmoving as he looked at the black mass of heads in front of him.

Luo Liya sensed his mood and tried her best to speak to the two of them naturally. What he owed her seemed to have been made up for by him. Furthermore, she had never experienced such pain before, and it was only a nightmare caused by the Chen family.

Lori was trying to be a good brother, and she was trying to be a good sister.

She was lost in her own thoughts when something happened. The other artist who was standing on top of one of the artists suddenly fell off his shoulder, foaming at the mouth. His body kept twitching, and his head swayed from side to side.

Some of the onlookers immediately turned around to flee, while the ones who dared to stand there and watch, along with the artists who had fallen, immediately surrounded him. Suddenly, a man's scream rang out, making Luo Liya feel that something was wrong. Wu Kong followed behind her.

Lori dived into the crowd. Seeing the man on the ground and the pale-faced man beside him, he immediately understood that the man was dead. He reached out his hand and touched his nose.

"Elder sister, what's going on? "Why did it suddenly become like this?" Wu Kong squatted beside Luo Liya and asked.

"I don't know. It looks like it was poisoned." Lolya stared at him without moving, her gaze gradually shifting to the man's neck, where there seemed to be a thin line.

She immediately stretched out her hand to pull away the man's shirt. Lori didn't expect her to do this. His body paused for a moment before he was shocked by the scene before him.

From his navel to his neck, a long red line appeared on the upper half of the man's body. It was as red as blood and continuously grew thicker and bigger. It was extremely terrifying.

Luo Liya stared at the red mark, her eyes filled with a peculiar light. When the rest of the people saw this scene, they were already stupefied. They immediately retreated backwards, and there were even some who loudly cried out "Help!" as they were worried that this was some strange poison from a Gu technique.

Just at that moment, the red marks had already become more and more swollen, like a long string of tumors growing on the man's body. Luo Liya leaned in front of him to carefully observe, but Wu Kong pulled her back, "Elder sister, stop looking, it's so disgusting!" "And it's getting bigger and bigger, as if it's going to break …"

Seeing this, Lori and Wu Kong immediately pulled together Luo Liya's body away. However, the speed of the poisonous bug was too fast, in a split-second, it had already attacked the necks of Luo Liya and the others. With Luo Liya's poison technique, naturally she was not afraid, but Luo Lei and Wu Kong used their true energy to resist it without any hesitation, and the poisonous insect was immediately blocked from the true energy halo.

Many of them had been stung by the magger-like poisonous substance, but after being stung by it, there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was just a faint red mark on their neck, upon seeing this, Luo Liya immediately summoned her Zhen Qi, wanting to use her previous method to subdue the poisonous substance, but this time, the previous method she had tried was not useful at all.

The poisonous substance did not budge.

Luo Lei was the one with the strongest amount of Zhen Qi out of the three of them, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't kill those poisonous creatures, so he could only allow them to harm the ordinary citizens.

"Liya, let's hurry and send the civilians to a safe place. There are a lot of poisonous creatures in the outskirts of River City, I think there will be a taboo for this poisonous substance. With you here, the poisonous creatures in the poisonous forest won't dare to harm the commoners. Quickly!"

Lori said to Loria with a serious expression. She immediately understood how serious the situation was and that even Lori could not do anything. If she did not stop her, the citizens of River City would suffer. She nodded to Lori.

She immediately summoned her Taotie and looked at it with clear eyes: "Taotie, now is the time for you to show your might, don't disappoint me."

The Taotie nodded, intentionally or unintentionally, and Luo Liya immediately made the commoners sit on it. When have they ever seen a Taotie? She thought it was a monster like the poisonous creature, but her eyes were filled with fear and she kept shaking her head.

There was nothing Luo Liya could do. She used her true qi and forced those commoners to sit on the back of the Taotie. Then, she also followed along and shouted in a low voice. The Taotie immediately started to run wildly.

"Grasp its tentacles! If he fell down! but you're going to lose your life! "

"Don't be afraid! It is a Divine Beast, not a monster. It will bring us to a safe place! "

Luo Liya shouted loudly at the commoners, who were still in a state of shock as they listened to her. For their own lives, they finally chose to listen to her, tightly holding onto the tentacles of the Taotie.

Luo Liya had been here before, so she pointed the way for the Taotie to move towards a cave. After settling the people in the cave, she took out her Treasure Bag, lured out the hooked up ants, snow moths and green-eyed monsters, and guarded them in front of the cave. The poisonous bugs in the poison forest would not easily break into the cave if they saw them.

"You! "Come here!" Luo Liya had picked out a tall and sturdy young man. After he was called out, the young man hesitantly walked towards her, his eyes filled with reverence.

"Stay here and count the number of people. We can't let anything happen to them. If I come back and see someone in an accident, you will be the only one to ask. Do you understand?"

Luo Liya commanded sternly. Actually, she did not want to be fierce towards that young man. It was just that she still had to rush to save the others. Inevitably, she had a harsh expression on her face.

The young man immediately nodded, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he was afraid that Luo Liya would eat him. Luo Liya didn't care much about it, she just jumped onto the Taotie and rushed back to River City.

Lori and Wukong were still using their true energy to block the poisonous substance's attack. This would buy her as much time as possible. Thus, she had to seize the moment and rush over there.

Fortunately, Zi Ruo and the moon spirit who were scattered later joined in the battle, as did Fu Dongming, Fu Quan and Luo Yan, who had the deepest cultivation in River City. When she returned, she saw that those people were standing in a row, using their true energy to stop the poison's attack.

From a distance, they looked like a mass of black masses. Luo Liya only felt that her eyes were blurry and immediately rode the Taotie to rescue people at the back without stopping. The women and children were first, then the elderly, then the young, and finally the martial artists with a high cultivation level and above.

But in the end, she was still unable to save all the people.

Even though Luo Yan was an Immortal level expert, and Luo Lei had quite a strong cultivation, and with the [Wukong Zi] 's Fu Dongming Moon Spirit, he was still unable to defeat the power of that poisonous object. It was simply … Too terrifying.

They gradually broke through the zhen qi barrier and attacked in front of Luo Yan and the others. In the end, they had no choice but to step back step by step.

"Father!" I can't take it anymore! Let's leave first! We can't deal with this poison right now! " Lori said to Luoyan, his face flushing red. He didn't look like a gentle young man at all, and the veins on his forehead were popping.

Luo Yan shook her head, "I am the commander of the eastern navy. This River City is under my jurisdiction to begin with, so how can I leave the civilians behind?"

Fu Quan, who was at the side, also chimed in, "Commander is right. This disaster is both fierce and urgent, but it does not mean that it can become an excuse for us to retreat. I, Fu Quan, am the lord of River City.

The two elderly men sang the same tune, as if they were vowing to live and die with the people of River City.

Luo Liya gave Fu Dongming a look, indicating for him to settle this matter with her father. Fu Dongming nodded his head in understanding, while she herself walked up to Luoyan.

"Father, Father, you are the military governor of the East Sea. You control a vast territory and there are even more commoners waiting for you. If you are harmed because of this, what will happen to the other commoners?" Without leadership, it would be no different from a piece of loose sand. Father, think carefully, don't lose too much weight, although the people of River City are important, if we don't continue to think carefully about it, we will definitely be harmed even more.

"Please reconsider."

"Please reconsider."

"Please reconsider."

Luo Lei, Wu Kong, Zi Ruo and the others all followed Luo Liya and spoke. Luo Yan's resolute face finally relaxed a little as she looked at the poisonous creatures before her, and finally gave in and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you all."

As he spoke, he looked towards Fu Quan, only to see the figure of Fu Dongming carrying Fu Quan on his shoulder.

Forget about it. Right now, these younger generation members were much more knowledgeable than they were. Luo Yan sighed in her heart and then walked with them towards the Taotie's place. At this time, he found out that Luo Liya had a pet, and it was an ancient beast Taotie. It seemed like that girl had hidden quite a few things from him.

Everyone rode their Taotie and advanced into the poisonous forest, and the poisonous creatures behind them were no longer able to obstruct them, quickly chasing everyone's figures as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The miserable cries of those people who had been stung continuously sounded behind them, even if Luo Liya was as staunch as before, it would still be unbearable to listen to it.

The expressions of the crowd immediately turned gloomy. Wu Kong clenched his fists tightly. Anger could be seen in his eyes.
