Inside the imperial city, blood mist filled the air and cold air rose.

On the ice surface of the lake, masters were frozen into ice crystals, and Taoist priests turned into mummies.

The statues of gods enshrined on the altars exploded with a "pop, pop, pop" sound. All kinds of tokens, flags, talismans, magical instruments, etc. were turned into pieces by the blood mist.

Concubine Qi's laughter became more and more shrill, like a steel needle, piercing into countless people's ears.

With just a long laugh, countless eunuchs and palace maids on the shore of the lake began to bleed from their ears. They covered their ears in pain and fell to the ground, rolling and twitching.

In Xianyu Pavilion, Liu Wu, Qi Lu, He Jun and others wailed and cursed in unison.

The blood mist didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them. It just surrounded Xianyu Pavilion little by little, inch by inch.

In the thick blood mist, the figures of Green Bird and some other women could be vaguely seen. Behind them, there were thousands of shadowy figures tumbling up and down.

Liu Wu and the others were so scared that they wet their pants. They were almost having mental breakdowns and screaming hysterically.

The more frightened they were, the more aura invisible to ordinary people's eyes appeared on their bodies and blended into the blood mist. The green bird and the figures of the women became more solid.

On the shore of the lake, one Buddha statue after another and other statues of gods collapsed and shattered.

The big monks and old Taoist priests fell to the ground one after another.

Some young monks and Taoist priests followed the example of their predecessors and fled hastily towards the woods behind. Waves of arrows whizzed towards them and shot them to death on the spot without mercy.

Le Wu's roar shook most of the lake surface. "No one is allowed to run away. No one is allowed to run away. Either kill these female ghosts, or you will die with me!"

With wild laughter, Le Wu threw away the gorgeous sword inlaid with gold and jade at his waist, and pulled out a butcher knife from his robe. It was more than one foot long, polished to an extremely sharp edge, and the blade seemed to be soaked in blood. It was red and gleaming with the luster of a gem.

With a loud roar, Le Wu rushed out of the windproof curtain. Amid the exclamations of Queen Mother Le, he ran as fast as a galloping horse and reached the edge of the blood mist in a few seconds. He raised his sword and chopped down a figure that had just emerged from the blood mist.

With a "puff", the obscure, swaying figure was cut into two pieces by a knife.

An almost insane dog barking sound rang out from the butcher knife in Le Wu's hand, and the figure exploded into pieces in the sound, turning into bloody spots of light and returning to the blood mist.

Le Wu was so excited that he danced with joy: "Haha, King Lancang is right. Some evil creatures that have been around for many years can really do great damage to these ghosts. Sister, the dog-slaughtering knife that has been passed down in our family for nine generations is actually a magical item!"

Empress Dowager Le's face turned red and she pointed at Le Wu in frustration, wanting to curse him but unable to.

She was born in a humble family, the son of a butcher who had been slaughtering dogs and selling meat for nine generations. After she ascended the throne of the Queen Mother, no one dared to mention this matter in front of her. Even on weekdays, no one dared to say the word "dog" in front of her.

Her own brother openly talked about "the dog-slaughtering knife handed down from generation to generation" in front of so many ministers. This made the empress dowager so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot.

Gritting her teeth, Empress Dowager Le stared at Le Wu, her eyes on the bloody edge of the butcher knife, and she suddenly felt more confident: "As a great general, how can you charge into battle in person? Hurry and get back!"

Le Wu ran happily back to the Queen Mother, her big belly swung. She held the butcher knife tightly in her right hand and looked at the blood mist approaching her with a proud look on her face. "Don't worry, sister. With Wu here, no one can hurt you... That Concubine Qi... Hey, I told you long ago that you wanted me to go to the cold palace to comfort her, but you never allowed me to!"

"Tell me, tell me, a woman will do trouble if she has nothing to do. If a strong man like me were to comfort her, maybe she wouldn't commit suicide."

Yinyuan turned around and looked at the Queen Mother and Le Wu.

Yinqi turned around, clenched his fists, stared at Lewu fiercely, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You are worse than a beast. If you dare to step into the cold palace, I will never forgive you... How can you be the one to get such a good thing?"

The queen mother's face turned black. She slapped Le Wu on the fat top of his head and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Nonsense, you are frightened by the ghost and lost your mind...Tianzi, your uncle has always been a man of few words."

Yin Yuan held Lu Yi's arm tightly with one hand, and said in a very cold and quiet voice: "Hey, General, as long as you don't enter the gate of my Jiuqu Garden... Well, these ghosts are getting closer and closer, General, please wipe them out?"

The Queen Mother glared at Yin Yuan and said, "Nonsense! How can a general charge into a trap in person? Let the imperial guards in the rear take over... And, Your Majesty, didn't you bring so many, so many..."

Yinqi suddenly became very proud. He also tightly grasped Lu Yi's other arm with one hand and shouted orders: "Throw out the holy water I prepared to exorcise demons...those black dogs, draw their blood on the spot and beat them hard!"

Jars of boys' urine emitting a strong odor were lined up in front of the curtain.

Large groups of imperial guards archers came running over, stirred the arrows in the water vat, and then put the arrows on the bowstrings with disgust on their faces.

The fat and strong black dogs let out shrill roars. They were also pitiful, as they were cut all over by the Yulin Army with knives. The black dogs' blood was dripped into the water tank to enhance the effect of the boy's urine.

The next moment, countless arrows stained with boy's urine and black dog's blood turned into a violent storm and shot towards the approaching blood mist.

The sound of "chi chi" continued to be heard.

Countless women's shrill screams were heard in the blood mist. The arrows shot holes as big as buckets in the blood mist, forcing the approaching blood mist to retreat dozens of steps.

"Good!" The Queen Mother and Le Wu cheered at the same time.
"Eunuch Yu, all the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards present today will be rewarded. Please draft a detailed list of rewards later!" The empress dowager smiled brightly, her eyes moving. She was so beautiful that she happily gave an imperial decree to Yu Sandou.

Yu Sandou nodded seriously in agreement, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at several large objects covered with purple brocade behind the empress dowager's throne.

Lu Yi followed Yu Sandou's gaze and looked towards the large objects.

He subconsciously injected a little spiritual light into his eyes and looked over there.

Under the purple brocade, bloody murderous aura rose from several large objects. Lu Yi's body shook, and his eyes felt a slight pain. He could faintly hear the roars of hundreds of millions of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, and he could also faintly see countless figures wearing heavy armor and filled with murderous aura rushing towards him.

What a vicious device!

Lu Yu took a deep breath and quickly looked away.

To ordinary people, these large objects do not reveal any unusual signs at all.

But in Lu Yi's eyes, the destructive power of these large objects was too terrifying.

It can be seen that this is the Queen Mother’s real back-up plan tonight.

The black dog blood, boy's urine and other things that Yinyuan and Yinqi got... well, they should have some effect, but compared with the Empress Dowager's back-up plan, these two seemed to be playing house.

"Sister Qi Fei, come out." The Queen Mother stood up and looked at the hesitant blood mist in front of her with a smile: "We two sisters haven't been close for many years..."

"Hey, haven't seen each other for 19 years?"

"Come out, let me see what you look like after not seeing you for nineteen years."

Arrows from the sky continuously shot towards the blood mist, which was shattered into pieces. The Queen Mother's smile became brighter and her expression became more determined.

As a queen mother, she has numerous elite soldiers and generals at her disposal and can mobilize countless resources.

When Concubine Qi was alive, she was tortured by her to the point where she was in a state of being unable to live or die. Now that Concubine Qi is dead, is it possible that she can still defeat her?

A few days ago, the Queen Mother was still feeling somewhat uneasy.

One was that she was afraid that she could not defeat the evil spirit transformed by Concubine Qi.

Second, she was afraid that this matter would be exploited by civil officials.

But now, seeing with her own eyes the fierce attack of tens of thousands of elite imperial guards, where even the female ghosts could not move forward under the rain of arrows from the imperial guards, the empress dowager seemed to suddenly understand something.

'Whoever holds the gun is right'!

Do the same to people.

The same applies to ghosts.

"Military power..." The Queen Mother looked at Le Wu standing beside her, then reached out her hand and patted his fat forehead fiercely: "Awu, you have to take good care of the children in the family and don't waste them."

To the north of the imperial city, in the northwest corner, outside the corner gate, there is an area of ​​extremely densely populated residential areas.

There are countless nobles in the imperial city, and their daily food and drink expenses are a huge consumption. Every day, a huge amount of supplies need to be replenished from the outside world to the imperial city.

Therefore, to the north of the imperial city, in the northwest corner, there is a residential area where people live who serve the nobles in the imperial city.

Carrying water, delivering firewood, clearing out excrement, collecting corpses... these were all menial jobs within the imperial city, but with these menial jobs, this area of ​​the city was able to support more than 100,000 people, young and old.

Concubine Qi stirred up a cloud of blood mist, and when she was cornered by the arrows of the imperial guards and could not move forward an inch, she became so angry that she looked up to the sky and let out an extremely sharp howl.

A few red lanterns appeared out of thin air above the houses.

A group of Ghost Worshipping Mother Cult members dressed in gray clothes and holding various weapons quietly emerged from the darkness, like a group of evil ghosts seeking revenge, staring at the quiet residences with scarlet eyes.

An old man, who looked frail and exuded the aura of a dying person, pointed at the houses while panting.

"The Ghost Mother has come to the world to save my remaining soul... I am a disciple of the Ghost Mother, and my long-cherished wish for a thousand years is about to come true."

"As long as we serve the Ghost Mother wholeheartedly, we can achieve an immortal ghost body and obtain the true ghost fruit."

"My children, kill, kill, kill. Sacrifice the blood and souls of these lowly people to the Ghost Mother... When we achieve our righteousness, this Great Yin Empire will be destroyed in a snap."

A group of almost crazy members of the Ghost Worshiping Cult shouted in unison, waving their weapons and rushing towards the residential areas.

In the air, several red lanterns swayed slightly, and flames and blood mist suddenly rose from all directions of the houses below, encircling the entire house.
