Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 621: Chapter 383: Xia Guang City

Qingzhou, Yu Yao Prefecture, Xia Guang City.

As the sun grew stronger, the city also began to bustle.

Along the streets, shops gradually opened, setting up their goods.

The city’s market was the liveliest, with vendors carrying their loads, the greens at the vegetable stalls still wet with morning dew, and butchers slicing meat at their stalls. Pedestrians hurried along, some carrying baskets to buy vegetables, with various cries of vendors coming one after another.

Suddenly, a rush of horse hooves broke the peaceful scene as a messenger, clutching an urgent document, galloped toward Xia Guang City, whipping his horse to go faster.

The soldiers at the city gate quickly cleared the way for the entry of the common people, watching as the messenger sped past.

“What is this urgent order about? Could it be another conscription? Is the situation at the Southern Border so dire?”

“Those barbarians are exceptionally brutal. The conscripts from the last round heard that more than ninety percent were dead or injured in less than half a year, barely one in ten survived.”

“That’s so terrible, they couldn’t possibly be short of hands and conscript us too, could they?”

“To think that the court has so many flying and earth-escaping immortals, each of those Immortal Sects and great families so powerful, one person equals tens of thousands of us ordinary folks, why would they still need ordinary people to fight the war.”

“The court just can’t command those Immortal Sects and big families, you know that as well.”

“In these cursed times, disasters are everywhere. There’s a severe drought in Jingzhou, and the starving population is resorting to cannibalism. In Qing Province, relentless rain has caused flooding everywhere. Even our Qingzhou isn’t peaceful, the Demon Sect is growing increasingly bold.”

A group of soldiers gathered together, gossiping amongst themselves as, being stationed at the city gate, they were well-informed about the comings and goings of many.

At that moment, the messenger reached the city gate and shouted loudly: “Quickly inform the county government, a large number of refugees are fleeing from Jingzhou. The governor has ordered that all cities close their gates and be on guard to prevent the starving from causing trouble.”
