Chapter 257 Drama (1)
In the city of Haojing, a storm was about to come.
In Wuzhou City, demons are everywhere.
The second sword master Chong was holding a small wine pot and sitting upright in the city tower at the south gate of Wuzhou City. In the corner of the tower, a female string music group was playing a tune, and several of the most popular girls in Wuzhou City were singing and dancing in front of him, constantly throwing him flirtatious glances.
The Corpse Demon Venerable had a gloomy face and sat a little further away, acting as if he was ashamed to be associated with him.
As the current leader of the Heart Sword Sect, one of the most powerful masters in the world of cultivation, the number one sword cultivator, the Second Sword Master Chong, his behavior is no different from that of a dandy young man in the secular world.
The Corpse Demon Venerable looked down upon his style of doing things.
However, Yuan Lingtian is facing a powerful enemy, and now everyone is on the same boat, and can only barely get together to deal with the powerful enemy.
Beside the Corpse Demon Venerable, a pretty girl sneered coldly: "These days, Dayin has been very busy."
The Second Sword Master Chong took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "It's better to be lively, it's better to be lively. For so many years, it's been a stagnant pool. We are like loaches struggling for life in a dried-up lake. I don't want to try that kind of horror again, where we could be wiped out at any time."
"It's better to have some fun... no matter how powerful the enemy is."
"I would rather fight them sword by sword to the death than face the shattering world and sink completely in endless despair."
The Second Sword Master Chong was very happy. He patted the little girl's hand beside him and said softly, "So, it's better to have some fun. Fighting and killing is always more interesting than nothing."
A gentle breeze swirled gently in the building.
In the breeze, countless golden powders are floating, sometimes condensing into a flower, sometimes turning into a blade of grass, and sometimes condensing into all kinds of ever-changing beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, or the various forms of men, women, old and young.
This is the method used by Wanhuan Sect's current leader, Master Huan.
Wanhuan Sect is the orthodox Taoist sect and the only one among the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism that excels in formation formations.
However, the formation inheritance of Wanhuan Sect is mainly based on illusion formation, so the disciples of Wanhuan Sect have mastered all kinds of illusions to an extremely profound level, even to an outrageous degree.
Just like this old man Huan, outsiders don’t even know whether he is a man or a woman, or how old he is...Except for a few close friends in the Taoist sect like the Second Sword Master Chong, outsiders don’t even know what he looks like or what his voice sounds like.
The breeze swirled the gold powder around, and the powder suddenly condensed into a line of large characters: "Chong Er is right."
The big characters collapsed and dozens of graceful girls emerged from the gold powder. These girls wore long skirts with water sleeves and sang and danced with several red-card girls. Their dancing was so graceful that they outshone all the other red-card girls.
The young girl beside the Corpse Demon Venerable chuckled coldly and was about to speak when a hurricane suddenly arose outside and low shouts of killing came from all directions.
The Second Sword Master Chong and the Corpse Demon Venerable walked out of the city gate tower at the same time.
Then one could see floating cities, metal boats, dark clouds, thunderclouds, blood clouds, demonic clouds, etc., all around Wuzhou City. There were also large formations that contained their auras but emitted all kinds of light, approaching Wuzhou City from afar.
In those cities, boats, clouds, and large formations, there were young Yuanlingtian cultivators wearing robes of various colors walking out, pointing at Wuzhou City from afar and shouting and clamoring.
“Here they come!” The Corpse Demon Venerable was delighted to see the prey and clenched his fists. The girl beside him shouted sternly, “Their bodies are all spoils of my Corpse Demon Cave.”
"All for you, all for you!" The Second Sword Master Chong threw down the wine jug, and the sword light flashed around him, then quickly disappeared into the void.
Huan Lao laughed, and the area covered by the breeze suddenly expanded, and countless gold powders whistled and blew away in all directions. The gold powders streaked across the walls of Wuzhou City, the streets and alleys of Wuzhou City, and the houses and pavilions, leaving thin golden traces on the ground, on the walls, on the beams and on the tiles.
A golden light flashed across the entire Wuzhou City, and then quickly disappeared.
The many disciples of Wanhuan Sect stationed in Wuzhou City guarded the key points of the large formations that had been arranged in advance, waiting for the enemy to invade and then launching the large formation to trap and kill the enemy.
In the governor's mansion in Wuzhou City, Hu Li, Lu Yu's brother-in-law and Lu Jun and Lu Yi's uncle, who had just been jointly recommended by Lu Yi and Lu Yu and suddenly ascended from a commoner to the high position of governor, was surrounded by a large group of heavily armored soldiers. He sat trembling in the lobby of the governor's mansion, holding the governor's seal of Wuzhou City tightly in both hands.
This seal was the one that rushed out from the underground secret hall in Wuzhou City when Lu Yi was dealing with the great flood .
This seal can control the entire Wuzhou city’s defense formation.
After Lu Yi left Wuzhou City, the seal remained in the main hall of the governor's mansion. After Hu Li was canonized by Emperor Yinyuan and became the governor, the seal miraculously recognized its master and allowed Hu Li to control the entire Wuzhou City.
"May God bless you, may God bless you!"
Hu Li was so frightened that he was shaking all over and kept muttering to himself while sitting in the lobby.
He was just an ordinary merchant's son, with no knowledge, no ability, and no ambition.
My sister married a promising husband and became a nobleman in the imperial court. If it were someone else, with a noble brother-in-law like Lu Yu, he would naturally take advantage of the power of others and take advantage of the opportunity to expand the family business by a hundred or a thousand times and make a fortune.
But Hu Li and his two younger brothers were not very successful.
With Lu Yu as a relative, their greatest achievement over the years was to open a few pawnshops, bully the common people, lend money at high interest rates in private, and make some money from the interest, that's all.
Moreover, their vision in lending at high interest rates... was indeed problematic. Over the past few years, they had not been able to recover the capital they had lent out on many loans. They had spent all their money, and it was only because Mrs. Hu secretly took out a lot of silver from her own storehouse to subsidize them that they were able to get through the difficult times.
With such a character and such means... Lu Yu was arrogant and unreasonable, and forcibly pushed him into the position of Mu of Wuzhou.
To be honest, Hu Li has two younger brothers, and they were already scared to death.
"My dear brother-in-law, my dear brother-in-law... Being an official is a good thing, but, but... it costs lives!" Hu Li held the seal and muttered in tears: "They are all flying monsters... I am just a mortal... I am just a mortal... Can I give up this official position?"
Hu Li's two younger brothers, Hu Fu and Hu Gui, were also huddled in the lobby with grim faces.
A Wuzhou pacification envoy and a Wuzhou expeditionary envoy, two second-rank officials, were also terrified and trembling all over. There was a faint smell of urine in the air, and no one knew who had secretly let some of it out.
Just as Hu Li muttered, the two of them also cursed Lu Yu in their hearts.
Being an official is naturally a good thing.
However, we cannot betray our in-laws by sending them to serve as officials in a hellhole like Wuzhou City!
This is going to kill someone!
A hurricane was raging, the sound of waves rolling in the sky, the cries of ghosts and wolves spread throughout the entire Wuzhou city, there were rivers of blood across the sky, and the bloody light in the sky turned the entire city into blood red.
Thunder, hurricanes, hail, heavy rain, all kinds of natural phenomena rolled in.
Throughout the city of Wuzhou, countless people were crying and screaming, creating a doomsday scene.
The Second Sword Master Chong stood at the gate of the city tower, smiled and nodded: "Well, I found the logos of eleven sects... But the Demon Calculation Sect, it seems that there are no disciples?"
The young girl beside the Corpse Demon Venerable sneered and said, "One more or one less of them won't make a difference... Those Yuanlingtian cultivators have also confessed that the Demon Calculation Sect is the most treacherous. Perhaps they are hiding somewhere to watch the fun?"
"However , these young people want to capture Wuzhou City? Are they overthinking?"
The Corpse Demon Venerable smiled with disdain. He shook his two skinny claws. Demonic clouds rose around him. Tall and burly figures wearing heavy armor and carrying a strong aura of death kept walking out of the demonic clouds, spreading along the city wall of Wuzhou City and standing neatly in a dense array along the wall.
Outside the city, among the first batch of twelve sects that Yuan Lingtian invaded Ji Shengtian, all the sects except the Mo Suan Sect had disciples present, with a total number of more than 30,000.
Many of the disciples had unstable auras, scattered light in their eyes, and acted and spoke crazily, looking as if their minds were out of control.
They formed a battle array and quickly approached Wuzhou City, then with a shout, they rushed forward brutally.
In the hall of Wuzhou Mu, Hu Li let out a strange cry, raised his seal, and slammed it heavily on the desk in front of him.
On the walls of Wuzhou City, the sound of mechanisms continued to be heard. Golden warrior statues more than three meters tall slowly rose from the walls, pulled strong bows, and golden arrows condensed out of thin air, turning into a shocking rainbow and blasting towards the attacking Yuanlingtian cultivator.
Without dodging or defending, many Yuanlingtian cultivators just used their bodies to face the oncoming light arrows.
The body exploded and blood splattered everywhere. The first wave of counterattack by the city defense formation of Wuzhou City killed nearly 10,000 Lingtian monks. Several floating cities of the Demon Puppet Sect and dozens of metal boats were shot up by arrows and fell heavily, spewing flames and black smoke.
The eyes of the Second Insect Sword Master and the Corpse Demon Venerable suddenly focused.
"Something seems to be wrong. Are they here to die?" The Second Sword Master of Chong muttered to himself, "They are here to die, that's for sure... And, judging from their mental state, they are not in the right place. Someone has done something to them."
The Corpse Demon Venerable roared, "Tell that bastard governor in the city to be gentle. These monks' bodies are all treasures, treasures... If you dare to damage one more, I will make him be raped by 180 female zombies every night!"
The city defense formation of Wuzhou City was released, and the cultivators of Yuanlingtian rushed into Wuzhou City in a mighty manner.
An illusion array arose, with clouds and smoke swirling around, enveloping these defenseless Yuanlingtian cultivators.
