"How...how could this happen..."
In Anyang Village, south of Zhenyao Pass and five miles west of Feiying City, a young man in white robes had his eyes wide open, his face was dull, and his whole body was trembling.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing!
The mutilated corpses were swaying here and there, with broken flesh and blood everywhere. The strong wind blew, heads rolled, and blood flowed into rivers.
The entire Anyang Village was silent, without any sound!
At the end of his sight, countless corpses lay scattered!
"Fa... what happened..."
The young man murmured to himself, his face was pale and bloodless, his legs were trembling, and he slowly stepped into the village.
red!
Dazzling red!
What he saw was endless blood flowing, which made his heart feel cold.
"Dad...Mother...Dad! Mother!!!"
As if he suddenly thought of something, the young man's face changed drastically, his eyes turned red, and he ran towards the west of the village like crazy.
There is his home!
Although he was only in the Qi Refining Realm, at this moment he burst out with a speed far faster than that in the Qi Refining Realm, turning into an afterimage and rushing past.
Suddenly, he stopped and stared blankly ahead.
Tears had already covered the whole cheek.
"Dad...Mom..."
He knelt down weakly and cried heartbrokenly.
…
"waste!"
"It's all trash!"
"It's been almost a month and there's still no news at all!"
"What do you do for food?!"
"To raise you, our family might as well raise a dog!"
At the same time, in the city lord's palace in Feiying City, Cao Zhengchun, who was wearing a black robe and had a feminine aura, was furious at the two Dongchang factory guards in front of him.
As soon as he arrived in Nanzhou, he received news from the Dongchang spy who was in charge of Nanzhou's intelligence. There was a demonic beast massacre incident in Nanyang Mansion.
The first time was in Xishan City near Lingnan Prefecture. A village of more than 900 households was massacred, and all their blood and essence were sucked away by monsters!
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately aroused great concern. After all, there is a beast tide happening in the Demon Zhen Pass not far from Xishan City at the moment. If a demon beast sneaks into the pass, it will cause great turmoil.
So the people from Dongchang and Yingsha Palace immediately started investigating.
But now almost a month has passed, and not only has there been no news at all.
Moreover, within this month, there were frequent incidents of monsters massacring villages.
At first it was near Xishan City, and then gradually moved to Feiying City here.
Just last night, in Hanshan Village, ten miles west of Feiying City, the whole village was massacred. No matter men, women, old or young, not a single one was left. They all died after being drained of their essence and blood by the monsters.
At this moment, in the entire Nanyang Mansion, everyone who knows about this is in danger!
After receiving the news, Cao Zhengchun rushed over immediately.
At this time, looking at the two deputy governors responsible for Nanzhou's intelligence in front of him, he wanted to kill them with one palm.
They actually dared to hide such a big thing and didn't report it until they could no longer hide it. This is because they are so brave!
"You should know the rules of Dongchang!"
Cao Zhengchun looked at the two of them coldly and said: "Seven days! We will give you seven days. If you still can't find out where the ferocious beast is that massacred the village, you will bear the consequences!"
Upon hearing this, the two men suddenly trembled, knelt down quickly, cupped their hands and said, "Yes, Lord Governor!"
Buzz!
At this moment, the breeze blew through the mansion, and Jing Ke's figure quietly appeared in the mansion, with the same cold face, making people feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Lord Jing Ke!"
Cao Zhengchun looked at Jing Ke and slightly cupped his hands.
"How's the check going?"
Jing Ke asked indifferently.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at the two pale-faced people next to him and snorted: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and investigate!"
"Yes Yes!"
The two of them were sweating profusely, turned around quickly, and left quickly.
Seeing this, Jing Ke understood without asking.
Both of them fell silent.
None of them expected that such a thing would happen as soon as they arrived in Nanyang Mansion!
This matter can be big or small.
If we catch the ferocious beast that massacred the village, the big problem can be minimized.
But if we continue to let it run rampant, I'm afraid this matter will spread to the palace sooner or later.
At that time, how should they explain to the king?
"This is very strange!"
After a moment of silence, Cao Zhengchun frowned and said: "The borders are guarded by formations, and our eyes are watching everywhere. Not to mention the low-level monsters, even the seventh- and eighth-level monsters may not be able to hide from the sky and sneak into the pass!"
"Moreover, the behavior of this monster is also very strange. It has always only targeted villages that are not guarded by an army, which means that it is not very strong and does not dare to reveal its traces!"
"But if it's not strong, how did it get in?!"
Jing Ke remained silent.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "What if it didn't come in from outside the customs?"
"Not entering from outside the customs?"
Cao Zhengchun frowned, "This is even more impossible! All the mountains and forests in Dawu where monsters exist have been recorded, and we will never let this happen!"
Jing Ke's eyes flickered and he said: "There is another coincidence in this matter. It started killing the first village a month ago, and the beast tide also started a month ago!"
"hiss……"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's face changed, as if he had thought of something, and he said sharply: "You mean that the beast tide attacking the Demon Suppression Pass may be related to this monster beast?!"
Jing Ke looked calm and shook his head: "It's just a guess, I'm not sure either."
"Report~!"
At this moment, the two deputy governors who had just left came back again, with anxious expressions on their faces.
Cao Zhengchun's thoughts were interrupted and he was furious: "You two losers, why are you back here?!"
The two people looked anxious and said: "Report to the Governor, the monster... has appeared again!"
"Half an hour ago, the whole village in Anyang Village in the west of the city was massacred!"
"What?!"
Cao Zhengchun and Jing Ke both changed their expressions, glanced at each other, and then immediately walked out of the mansion, flew towards the west and disappeared into the clouds.
"quick!"
The two deputy governors also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went out to gather people and prepare for action.
…
"The two generals, please see the general!"
In Juyuan City, Luo Lingfeng and Jiang Yuan looked at the young man in silver armor with a white horse and a silver spear in front of them, their faces full of respect, and they bent down to salute.
At this time, the two of them were filled with shock and surprise.
None of them expected that the king would send this person to help them!
It has been less than three months since the king ascended the throne. Although this general has not achieved many achievements, his few actions are enough to be recorded in the history of the great martial arts!
For the first time, the palace took action to kill the assassins of the Great Yan Dynasty and protect the king from successfully ascending the throne!
The second time, he went to the east and almost killed a senior protector of the Yinshen Sect, and then suppressed the Yuezhou rebellion. Now the legend of "Martial God General Zhao Zilong" is spread almost throughout Yuezhou!
Especially in the past half month, even the Zhenwu Immortal Sect has announced its surrender to the imperial court. It is said that this matter is inseparable from this general!
Such a person now appeared in front of them alive. How could they not be excited and shocked?!
"I've met two adults!"
Zhao Yun was tall and handsome, looking at the two of them, smiling and nodding.
The two of them were excited again and said quickly: "General, you are so polite! I can't bear it!"
Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head, glanced to the south, and went straight to the topic: "Two generals, how is the situation at the Demon Suppression Pass at this moment?"
Jiang Yuan quickly replied: "General Qi, the beast tide has repeatedly attacked the pass recently. The Yin Shen Sect's army has less than one hundred thousand, and the Demon Suppression Pass may be broken at any time!"
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Can the reason why the monster beasts attack the border be found out?"
Luo Lingfeng shook his head and said: "This matter is investigated by several adults from Dongchang and Shadow Killing Hall, but there is still no progress so far!"
As he spoke, Luo Lingfeng's eyes flashed and he said: "However, some strange things have happened in the eastern area recently. It is said that many villages were slaughtered by the same ferocious beast, and the villagers were all drained of their essence and blood and died!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned, and then suddenly remembered that Cao Zhengchun and Jing Ke left in a hurry before, and suddenly realized that it must be because of this!
Luo Lingfeng nodded and said: "This matter has been going on for almost a month, but there has been no progress!"
"One month..."
When it came to this time, Zhao Yun was a little sensitive. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Demon Suppression Pass and frowned a little tighter.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "The people from Dongchang and Shadow Killing Hall will be responsible for this matter. Don't worry about it for now. I came here mainly to solve the problem of the beast tide and the Yinshen Cult!"
"yes!"
The two nodded and immediately said: "General, please come inside and let me and I report the military situation to the general!"
Zhao Yun nodded, got off his horse, and followed the two of them inside.
…
"General, the enemy is too strong and almost unstoppable!"
In the eastern part of Yuezhou, Jiayu Pass, densely packed like locusts, Yin Shen Sect disciples attacked Jiayu Pass.
Visible in the field of vision, there are almost 100,000 troops. The black fog is shrouded above the head, and many ghosts are looming in the black fog, roaring ferociously.
Such a terrifying sight is daunting!
At this time, on the city wall, Chen Jian, the guard of Jiayu Pass, stared at the terrifying Yinshen Cult army below with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Just half an hour ago, he suddenly received information from the secret guards of the Shadow Killing Palace that the Yin Shen Cult army was coming to attack Jiayu Pass.
When he heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.
But he thought about the Yin Shen Sect's guardian eagle two months ago, and it was impossible for the people in the Shadow Killing Hall to lie to him.
So he immediately organized a large army and began to prepare to defend the city.
But despite this, we still ended up in this situation!
As soon as the people from the Shadow Killing Hall left, the Yin Shen Sect's army arrived as promised, their ghostly shadows rising into the sky, and their attack extremely fierce.
In just half an hour, the Jiayu Pass defenders suffered heavy casualties, but on the other hand, the Yin Shen Sect's people were attacking the city while absorbing the dead souls, and their numbers did not decrease at all!
In the past, I had only heard about the horrors of the Yin Shen Cult, but now I have seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed so powerful that it is terrifying!
At this moment, the 100,000 garrison troops at Jiayu Pass were already less than 50,000.
If this continues, Jiayu Pass will change hands within an hour or three!
"damn it!"
"Where did these beasts come from?!"
Chen Jian's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
This Yin Shen Sect is like a ghost. He didn't receive any news before. If the people from Shadow Killing Hall hadn't informed him, he would have been caught off guard, and the consequences might have been even more disastrous than now!
Moreover, when he thought of General Zhao Yun's instructions to him when he left, his face became even more ugly.
Not long after General Zhao Yun left, something happened at Jiayu Pass.
If Jiayu Pass is really lost, he will definitely be blamed for his death!
Although Zhao Yun only stayed in Jiayu Pass for more than a month, Chen Jian was deeply impressed by his conduct and military skills!
If Jiayu Pass was breached, it was really unimaginable to him. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, how could he have the face to meet General Zhao Yun?!
"kill!"
"Fight to the death!"
Chen Ji'an gritted his teeth and roared, took out the long knife from his waist, and shouted: "Even if we fight to the last soldier, we must not let these beasts enter the city, otherwise, we will all be the sinners of Jiayu Pass and the sinners of Dawu!"
"As a soldier, you must never bring shame to your ancestors!"
"Kill with me!"
Amidst the roar, the sword was shining brightly, instantly killing the souls of several Yin Shen Cult disciples who rushed up to the city wall.
The soldiers guarding the city were infected by it, and their morale immediately increased greatly. The anger in their hearts suppressed the fear in their hearts. They clenched their weapons and once again joined the tug-of-war to defend the city.
For a moment, it actually blocked the ferocious offensive of the Yinshen Sect!
"die!"
Chen Ji'an roared angrily, and the sword light rose again, falling straight towards the two masters of the Yin Shen Cult in the God Transformation Realm.
Facing the furious Chen Jian, with just one blow, the two masters of the Yin Shen Sect were split in half, their souls collapsed, and they were completely destroyed!
"Hahaha!"
"The dignified Yin Shen Cult is nothing more than that!"
Chen Ji'an laughed loudly, his body protected by the light of his sword. He looked like the god of war descending from the sky. One by one, the masters of the Yin Shen Cult rushed up the city wall, and no one was his enemy!
"Tsk tsk... I haven't seen you for a long time, but General Chen's style has become even more impressive!"
However, just as Chen Ji'an was fighting Zhenglie, a cold laughter suddenly sounded in the void.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Jian paused, looked up, and his expression immediately changed: "It's you?!"
"Yes, it's me! Your good brother, Su Mohan!"
The eagle said with a joking smile.
"It's really you!"
Chen Jian's face looked extremely ugly.
He had speculated before that the person organizing the siege might be Wu Ying.
After all, he was defeated by Zhao Yun at Jiayu Pass and escaped with injuries!
Unexpectedly, he really guessed it right!
"Jiejiejie..."
Wu Ying sneered and said: "I didn't expect that General Chen would still remember me. It's really not a waste of time for our brothers!"
"Bah! Who is your brother!"
When this matter was brought up, Chen Jian was even more furious. Su Mohan had always had a good relationship with him, but who knew when he would be snatched away by this eagle and hidden in Jiayu Pass for many years? How many innocent people died in his hands!
This is the eternal pain in his heart!
"Alas! General Chen, why bother?"
Wu Ying pretended to be helpless, spread his hands and said with a smile: "General Chen has a high level of cultivation and is well versed in the art of using troops. If he joins our holy religion, he will be reused. Why should General Chen worry about the past? Why not join our holy religion?"
, how about creating a great cause together?”
"Get the fuck out of here!"
Chen Jian cursed loudly, "Does your rubbish Yin Shen Cult deserve to call itself the Holy Cult? Three generations of my ancestors have been generals on the border, how can I associate with rubbish like you!"
Hearing this, Wu Ying's face also darkened.
"Give me something shameless!"
He stared at Chen Jian and said coldly: "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? Inviting you to join our Yin Shen Cult is just because I think highly of you. Do you really think of yourself as a person?"
Chen Jian snorted coldly, "Even if I'm not a human being, I'm still much better than you, a human being and a ghost!"
"court death!"
The bird's eyes turned cold, its body shook, and it instantly turned into black mist and dissipated.
The next moment, an incomparable and terrifying coercion burst through the air and fell towards Chen Jian's head.
Chen Jian's expression changed slightly, he did not dare to resist, and quickly retreated into the city wall.
boom!
The next moment, the void shook, the city defense formation trembled slightly, and then a big hole was opened in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jian's expression changed again and he shouted angrily: "Withdraw! Withdraw from the city!"
Because Jiayu Pass does not have to face threats from demon clans and surrounding dynasties, the city defense formation is not too strong and can only withstand attacks from strong men in the early and middle stages of Hedao at best.
But this eagle seems to be much stronger than the last time he saw it. He is obviously a strong man in the late stage of Hedao!
The city defense formation cannot stop it at all!
"withdraw?"
The eagle broke through the formation, stood in the void, and sneered.
The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared again, and terrible pressure swept across the world!
"puff!!!"
Chen Jian's body trembled, and he felt that his soul was hit by a huge force. His face instantly turned pale, he vomited blood and flew out, and his breath fell to the bottom in an instant.
The figure of the eagle appeared, staring at him with a sneer, and said: "The less you want to join my holy religion, the more I will let you have a taste of my holy religion. Don't worry! I won't let you die so easily.
Yes! I will make you my soul slave, and you will be driven by me forever!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Chen Jian's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and glared at the bird, saying, "Even if I die, I will never join your bullshit Yin Shen Cult!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly raised his palm and slapped it towards the top of his head, intending to commit suicide!
"It's not up to you!"
The bird eagle smiled sarcastically, and then pressed his right hand in the void, and a terrifying pressure fell. Chen Jian instantly felt that he was locked by a terrifying energy, unable to move, and could only watch the bird eagle grab at him.
At this moment, Chen Ji'an felt that his soul was constantly trembling, as if he wanted to break away from his physical body and break out of his body.
He immediately looked desperate!
Even if he has never seen the fate of the soul falling into the hands of the Yin Shen Cult, he has heard about it!
"General, I have a great responsibility at the end. I will repay the kindness of the general with his guidance in the next life..."
Chen Jian laughed miserably, slowly closed his eyes, and his breath became weak.
Buzz!
But just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly saw a black cloud appear in the void.
This dark cloud is the same as the ghost energy of Yin Shen Sect, but it does not appear evil at all. Instead, it looks so noble, majestic, and mysterious!
Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black chain suddenly shot out from the black cloud, falling into the void like a poisonous snake. Before the eagle could react, it was instantly locked by the chain.
Sizzling...
Immediately, a red light suddenly bloomed on the chain, and the bird's body suddenly sizzled like a barbecue, and it couldn't help but scream.
"ah……"
"who are you?!"
The Eagle struggled to turn around and looked into the black clouds, its eyes filled with horror.
He felt a terrifying aura coming, and when he faced this aura, it was like a mouse meeting a cat or a natural enemy. An unconcealable fear arose in his heart!
"The heretics still want to refine people into soul slaves? Then how about you be my soul slave from now on?"
Accompanied by an eerie and indifferent voice, a terrifying ghost figure with a green face and fangs and a black official hat stepped out of the clouds. Two cold eyes looked at the eagle like ants.
