Chapter 407: Unknown, Strange and Terrifying
In the quiet, silent, almost suffocating atmosphere, some of the guards seemed unable to bear the pressure, and with a loud shout, they turned around and ran out of the city gate.
With this shout, the frozen environment seemed to be broken, and the guards turned around and wanted to rush out of the city. As for the guardians and divine soldiers lying on the ground behind them, they didn't dare to look at them again, let alone check their cause of death or confirm their death, for fear that they would die strangely without any signs, sound or reason like the divine soldiers.
However, they were already near the city gate, and there were many of them. For a while, those in front were crowded at the city gate, and those behind didn't care about the situation in front, and pushed the front anxiously, and the scene became chaotic, and all kinds of loud shouts rang out in the crowd.
"Run away, Luojing City, no, Guizhen Sect is guarded by real immortals!"
"Damn it, get out of the way, I don't want to die here without any reason and power to resist!"
"Guizhen Sect, the founder of Guizhen Sect really became an immortal! Everyone, run away!"
"I, I don't want to die!"
The personal soldiers behind couldn't get to the front for a long time, and they became more and more impatient. The bodies of the magic soldiers and guardians behind them kept flashing in their minds like death warrants, so they were furious and drew their swords and sabers at the same time, and fiercely chopped at their comrades in front.
"Ah!" Some of them shouted before death.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Some were chopped to the ground and begged bitterly. Although there was no sword and knife to cut them afterwards, the feet that kept surging trampled them to death.
Some did not say a word, but also drew their swords and chopped around.
The inner side of the city gate became bloody and there were constant cries and wails.
After half a quarter of an hour of killing each other, only three to five hundred people escaped from the city by stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and the remaining nearly a thousand people lay dead on the street near the city gate. The closer they got to the city gate, the more corpses piled up and the redder the ground became.
A breeze blew, and the strong smell of blood reached the noses of the ministers and generals on both sides who were stunned, and it made them come back to their senses.
When they saw the horrible scene in front of them, which seemed like the blood field of Asura, some of them fell to the ground with fright, and some ran out of the city or to their own mansions as if they were crazy. Of course, some people calmed down, came up with a plan, and went to the palace with their family generals and servants: "Children, follow me to serve the king!"
"Protect the emperor and kill the evil demons of Dongyuan Sect!"
With such a true immortal guarding, how could Dongyuan Sect compete? He who knows the times is a hero! The emperor is at a time when no one is dispatching him. If he misses this opportunity, he will miss it forever. Maybe he can make meritorious deeds while serving his sentence! Yes, those guys who fell to the ground with weak legs seem to have made great contributions.

Outside the city, the leader of the Dongyuan Sect army was selecting elite soldiers to enter the city. Suddenly, he saw his guards running from Luojing City in a panic, all of them throwing away their armor and helmets, with terrified faces.
"Stop!" The leader of the generals stopped them with the remaining guards who had not entered the city. These escaped guards looked extremely distraught. It seemed that they fled to the army out of habit.
"Why are you so scared? What happened in the city? Where are the divine messengers and divine soldiers?!" Seeing that they were still listening to his orders, the generals shouted loudly when they were told to stop.
But as he asked the last question, the soldiers who had stopped showed extremely scared and terrified expressions on their faces, their eyes became crazy, and they answered in a desperate and empty tone: "They are all dead, all dead! All dead!" They no longer listened to the general's orders and fled in all directions.
The general and the soldiers who could hear the answer in front were stunned. Those were dozens of magic soldiers with profound magic! Each of them could fight one hundred, and even if the other side did not have corresponding monks to resist, it would be enough to make the army of 10,000 people collapse! How long did it take for them to die? !
For the army of Dongyuan Sect, those magic soldiers were the backbone and the source of confidence, but not long after they entered the city, they all died silently without any magic light burst, which made these soldiers panic.
"Don't listen to the wind and rain, Song Bingyi, take a few people to investigate in Luojing City." The general ordered another subordinate.
In the distance, Luojing City was like a giant beast lying beside the Luo River. It was quiet inside and looked quite scary and weird. It seemed that entering the city gate would lead to entering the mouth of the giant beast and being swallowed by it. However, Song Bingyi did not dare to disobey the general's order, especially when the life and death of the divine soldiers were still uncertain.
The general did not wait long before Song Bingyi, who was pale, came back. He asked in a trembling voice, "How are the divine soldiers?"
"Dead, all dead." Song Bingyi replied with trembling lips, "I bravely checked several bodies. There were no external or internal injuries, no poisoning, no bleeding, no corrosion, no illness. It was as if they died naturally at that moment!"
The general felt like he was falling into an ice cave, but before he could react, the front-line soldiers behind him had already run away. They had heard that the founder of Guizhen Sect had become an immortal. They were not afraid before because of the divine messenger's support. Now even the divine messenger died strangely. How could they dare to attack Luojing City and provoke the real immortal? Wouldn't that be a waste of life?
Anyway, they are just small soldiers, and the immortals above will definitely not vent their anger on them. When they return to their hometown, they will be good at farming again!
Once such a mob team began to disintegrate, no one except the gods could stop it. The front ones ran away, the middle ones ran away, and the ones at the back didn't know why and thought the army was defeated, so they also ran away.
After a while, the black army was left with only weapons, armor, and flags on the ground, which made the people near Luojing very rich.

Behind Guizhen Temple, on the 18th floor tower.
Xu Chenggao, Zhou Wei and others had been waiting here since before dawn. When he saw the ministers and generals kneeling on both sides of the city gate, Xu Chenggao was so angry that his face turned red and white, his hands trembled, and he seemed to want to strangle them to death with his own hands.
When the magic soldiers and guardians of Dongyuan Sect entered the city, the six people on the high tower held their breath involuntarily, waiting for the ancestor's immortal talisman to show its power. They were expectant and nervous. It goes without saying why they were nervous. The expectation came from the speculation just now. They didn't know whether it would be a fight, a golden-armored god descending from the sky, or ghost soldiers and ghost generals, or purple lightning death.
However, the development of the matter was completely beyond their expectations. Seeing the guardians and magic soldiers of Dongyuan Sect rolling off their horses inexplicably, and not moving after turning over several times, the six people opened their eyes wide, almost bulging their eyeballs and looking there, with a blank look on their faces, as if they had not woken up and were still in an absurd dream.
"Dead? Died just now?" After a long time, Xu Chenggao spoke in a dream-like tone, as if asking, and some couldn't believe it would be so simple, so easy, and so calm.
Even though the six people just made the best guesses and expectations, imagining that the methods of the ancestor were omnipotent, they never thought that it would be so understated and so strange.
Zhou Wei also answered in a dreamlike manner: "There is no fluctuation of magic, how can there be no fluctuation of magic? How did they die?!"
In the minds of Zhou Wei, Wan Xue, and Xu Hongda, the three cultivators, whether it was illusion, summoning gods, casting beans into soldiers, summoning ghosts, or lightning and death magic, they were all based on one foundation, that is, there would be fluctuations in soul power and spiritual energy. Even if the ancestor had a high level of cultivation and completely covered up the fluctuation of magic beforehand, there would be no signs afterwards, so they were most shocked by this.
And the whole process was so weird, mysterious, and creepy.
The six people finally came back to their senses and looked at each other. They all kept silent about what happened just now, with deep fear and awe on their faces.
"By the way, the last magic weapon just now was a bit strange. It actually lasted for one more breath, and golden lotus and golden light spots appeared. Let's have someone send his body and personal belongings to the Patriarch's Hall later. Maybe the Patriarch can see the origin of the Dongyuan evil demon from it." Zhou Wei finally calmed down and said to Xu Chenggao.
Xu Chenggao nodded, and before he could answer, he heard someone shouting below: "Your Majesty, I am sorry that you were frightened by your late escort! I really deserve to die!"

In Penglai Sect, although Shi Xuan withdrew his thoughts, he still paid attention to the formation restrictions in the Middle Earth through Penglai Sect and continued to pay attention to the things in Luojing City. Of course, if it were someone else, they would not dare to observe so recklessly and carefully. At most, they would just see if anything big happened. Shi Xuan was an exception.
It's not that Shi Xuan wants to avenge the former Dongyuan God. With Shi Xuan's current identity, realm, and strength as a Yuanshen Zhenren, he doesn't care about the God who is only at the Yinshen level. If he hadn't jumped out, Shi Xuan would have forgotten who he is, and never thought about seeking revenge.
If he really wanted to always think about revenge on him, he would probably lose face in front of other Zhenren, which is too cheap!
But since he has come to the Middle Earth to stir up trouble and jump under his nose, Shi Xuan is not so tolerant to let him do whatever he wants. Moreover, if the foundation is not cut off, those divine soldiers and guardians will be able to get another batch in a few days for the God. Even if he doesn't dare to attack Luojing City again, he will try to occupy other places in the Middle Earth to preach.
So Shi Xuan plans to put the task of killing Dongyuan God on the sect's good deeds list, and let those Yinshen Zun who are very busy accumulating good deeds to exchange for pure Yang magic weapons to complete it. This is the style of a Zhenren.
However, when the divine soldier wrapped in golden lotus tried to escape the influence of the Book of Cause and Effect, Shi Xuan directly felt the breath of Dongyuan God from him: "Is this the incarnation of Dongyuan God?"
"It should be the out-of-body incarnation specially refined by Dongyuan God for preaching in the Middle Earth." After Shi Xuan pondered for a while, he confirmed this possibility. If he had this incarnation in hand, it would be much easier for him to track down Dongyuan God's whereabouts. Of course, he must do it before he becomes alert.
Therefore, Shi Xuan decided to go there in person and solve the matter in a few steps. Most of the Yin God Venerables in the sect were busy with their current tasks and could not spare their hands for the time being, so they could not help in an emergency.
