They walked through the long corridor and finally came to the end, where they found an empty lobby with three strange portraits hanging around it.

The portrait in the front is rich in color. It depicts a monster with beheaded and nine tails holding its head in front of its belly, with the back of its head facing them. Its jet-black hair reaches to the ground in the painting.

The portraits on the left and right walls are all gray and white. The one on the left depicts corpses scattered all over the place, with a claw full of scars reaching upward desperately through the corpses; the one on the right depicts a human wearing a mecha standing on the ground.

On the city wall, a long sword stood beside him, and countless desperate humans outside the city looked up, desperate and solemn.

Tao Zi looked at these two paintings, smiled suddenly, and said: "The third monk has already come in, right?"

Xi Ming smiled and said: "Yes, looking at the claws, it should be a wolf demon cultivator."

She lamented: "Could it be that people from all races have corresponding opportunities here?"

Xi Ming said with a smile: "That's not true. Tribes that are less lucky will definitely not have corresponding opportunities, such as the Pig Tribe."

The corner of Tao Zi's mouth twitched, but Quan Dang couldn't hear the ridicule and said: "This is also the case. Then I, a pig demon, can only reluctantly choose the opportunity of being a human."

She walked over and touched the portrait with her hand, and the portrait sucked her in.

After a while, Tao Zi heard a questioning voice in his ear: "Your Majesty, do you want to open the city gate?"

She opened her eyes and looked towards the bottom of the city wall. Countless people looked up at her, but a large group of people made no sound, quietly waiting for the final judgment.

Tao Zi found that she could not control this body and could only listen to an order coming from her mouth: "Don't open the city."

This body bent down towards the people outside the city. The moment she straightened up, she grasped the hilt of the sword and said sternly: "Pour the fire oil and kill!"

Buckets of kerosene were poured on the people outside the city. They accepted it all silently and did not retreat.

The soldiers threw the torches down, and the sky was filled with flames. Finally, the cry sounded. They rolled in the fire, but refused to take a step closer to the city wall.

Tao Zi stared at all this in confusion, wondering why these people were acting like this. It wasn't until some phantoms emerged from the bodies of the people who were burned to death that she suddenly realized that it was actually the battle three thousand years ago!

During the war at that time, the mortal race mainly dealt with a type of alien race that had the ability to possess and reproduce. One alien race could control hundreds of mortals within a month, and use the bodies of mortals to give birth to new alien races.

"She" spoke again: "Forward team, go out of the city and kill the aliens!"

A group of mechas stood up, jumped down with the power of the mechas, and used the mechas to kill the phantoms.

After the execution, they did not choose to return to the city, but committed suicide on the spot.

Watching their actions, Tao Zi suddenly remembered the story Qing Lan told a long time ago: In the early days of the war, Xuanyue Continent did not know the corrosive abilities of the aliens, and could not tell whether mortals were still mortals. They only knew that they had extremely strong possession abilities.

Moreover, it has an incubation period and may be possessed as soon as there is a fight. For this reason, every soldier who has fought with a foreign race will choose to commit suicide to avoid being used by the foreign race unknowingly.

"She" looked at the many burnt corpses under the city wall in silence, holding the hilt of the sword tightly.

Suddenly, someone ran toward her, knelt on the ground, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, five cities in the south have fallen. The generals guarding the cities have sent the people who have not had contact with foreigners to safe areas, and the rest of the people... have died.

"

The Emperor's Empress turned and looked at him, seeming to be thinking about something, and finally said: "Where is General Xu?"

"General Xu unfortunately died without leaving a single word."

She let out a long sigh and ordered: "Tell General Xu, and also, has General Zhou made a decision? Should he commit suicide or have someone else do it for him?"

The man lowered his head and said: "General Zhou chose to commit suicide, but he hopes to see His Majesty before committing suicide."

"not see."

After the man left, the person next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Zhou is a rare good general."

The emperor's daughter turned around and looked at the corpses of the people under the city wall again: "He is indeed one of the best in formation and marching, but he has the word "kindness" attached to it. Only in the prosperous age can he be called a good general."

The man still wanted to speak, "she" said again: "Xu Qing, because he was soft-hearted and let a mother and son enter the city and harmed the people of the city, he really can't live with such behavior. Otherwise, wouldn't he be conniving at the rest of the generals?

Compassion?"

Xu Aiqing fell silent.

The Emperor's Empress looked into the distance, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the bottom of the city tower: "I have issued an order to use the three rivers and four rivers as the dividing line. People in each area are not allowed to communicate with each other. However, anyone who forcibly crosses the river will be killed without mercy, regardless of soldiers or civilians."

"yes!"

As soon as the scene changed, Tao Zi found herself in a palace again, opposite a man wearing a mask.

"She" said: "National Master, is this plan feasible?"

"Of course it's possible." The National Preceptor's voice was extremely young, "But it must be at the cost of the lives of Your Majesty and 60% of the soldiers."

The emperor's empress spoke without hesitation: "The aliens can hold them back, and the world of immortality can also hold them back, but the royal family cannot hold them back. I also ask the national master to contact the people in the world of immortality. I am willing to offer all the treasures of the royal family and give up my land and power.

, in exchange for them going into dangerous places to rescue the remaining people and protect them."

He said: "The enemy is currently facing us. Needless to say, those in the world of immortality will definitely take action. There is no need to pay such a high price."

"More than that, I also need them to offer monks to attract more alien races to die with me." The Emperor's Empress whispered a series of monks' names and said, "These monks are powerful, and the alien races they attract will inevitably

They are powerful, and they have always ignored the lives of the people. If they are allowed to live, the people who encounter them will probably not have a good life."

The Imperial Master thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "If this plan can be successful, the alien race will definitely be severely damaged, but the immortal sect that those monks belong to... After the war, the royal family is afraid that it will disappear completely, without even any room to breathe."

"She" raised a smile, but her tone was cold and tight: "Then disappear. After my death, the royal family will just linger and be unable to protect the people, so what's the harm if it disappears."

He sighed quietly.

At this moment, the emperor's daughter suddenly knelt down and bowed.

The Imperial Master was startled, turned aside, and then stretched out his hand to help her up.

She refused to get up, lowered her head to the ground, and said, "Master, I have a request."

He had no choice but to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. There is no need for this."

"Master, once the royal family is destroyed, there will no longer be an emperor's daughter or master. Therefore, the disciple is requesting the master as a disciple."

The Imperial Master looked at her intently and finally stood up: "Say it."

The emperor's daughter calmly said: "Please also ask Master to protect the three mecha masters and pass on the mecha art. The royal family can be destroyed, but mechas cannot. This is the only weapon for mortals to fight against the monks. As the First Emperor said, from the cultivation of immortals
