Hanyang City almost turned into a dead city overnight.
Both the imperial court and Cangyun Sect wanted to block the news.
But nearly a million people died mysteriously, and Hanyang City is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. How could it be sealed off?
A few hours later, all the sects and forces in the world received this terrible news.
In order to calm the people's minds, Zhao Shiyu immediately issued a notice saying that the tragedy in Hanyang City was caused by monsters in the heaven.
Although there are suspicions in the cultivation world, no one would say that the massacre of Hanyang City might have been done by human monks.
No matter who did it, the murderer can only be the enemy.
Nowadays, the world is troubled by internal and external troubles and cannot withstand the storm.
It can only attract the hatred of the people to the enemy.
It was the beginning of Si Shi, and a large number of troops had already entered Hanyang City.
Corpses were carried out one after another from houses and residences all over the city.
Corpses covered the streets.
Since all the young and middle-aged men were recruited into the army due to the omen, many of the dead in the city were old, weak, women and children.
To the north of the city is a huge wharf, where more than 100,000 strong men and civilians died in their sleep.
These people died in horrific conditions, with only skin and bones left.
The man who originally weighed more than a hundred kilograms, now weighs only a mere twenty or thirty kilograms.
Almost all the mortal soldiers who participated in collecting the corpses vomited.
Yang Shijiu walked out of Yang Mansion.
Her parents escaped, but twelve sisters, seven brothers-in-law, and more than thirty nephews and nieces died in this inhumane catastrophe.
Fortunately, the current pillar of the Yang family, Yang Ershi, has been supervising the grain and grass management in Xuzhou recently.
If Yang Ershi died, the Yang family's huge industry would collapse.
She vowed to catch the murderer and avenge her family.
Arriving on the street, we quickly entered the massacre area.
The streets were lined with corpses.
There was simply not enough white cloth, so the soldiers could only use the bedding from the deceased's home to cover the bodies.
The weather is already a bit hot now, and these corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily cause a plague.
The drunk Taoist squatted down and inspected several mummies.
Seeing Yang Jiujiu coming over, he said, "Jiujiu, are your parents okay?"
Yang Shijiu's eyes were red, which showed that this heroic woman had cried at home before.
Yang Jiu nodded gently and said: "Thanks to the people from Jixiang Temple and Langya Immortal Sect who noticed something was wrong and arrived in time, the demon-devouring light did not spread to my house.
However, many of my sisters and brothers-in-law...are all dead."
The drunk Taoist sighed.
Junior sister Xiaozhu immediately comforted Yang Shijiu.
Taoist Chi Yan beside him said slowly: "Indiscriminate attacks, no matter where the area is shrouded by the demonic light, not even a single person, not even a single domestic animal, will survive.
According to the Xuanhui Divine Nun who arrived first, the demonic light was blue and full of terrifying demon-devouring power.
The palm of Xuan Hui Shen Ni's concentrated strength was easily resolved by the opponent.
The opponent's cultivation is so high that it is beyond imagination, and he is definitely a peerless demon above the Sumeru realm."
Many elders and seniors around him nodded slightly in agreement.
Almost all the victims had their flesh and blood sucked out in an instant, and their souls were taken away. Except for the powerful Xumi, no one had this ability.
Ning Xiangruo and Du Chun were standing at the outermost edge of the Cangyun Sect.
The expressions on their faces were so ugly.
At the same time, Monk Kongwu of Kasyapa Temple and Taoist Master Chunyangzi of Tianshi Dao also had very solemn expressions.
The way these people died in Hanyang City was very similar to the massacre of villages along the Yangtze River.
Blue demon light, swallowing flesh and blood and soul...
They all vaguely guessed the answer, but they couldn't believe it.
He even dared not express his suspicions.
It is Si hour in Hanyang City and it is already noon.
It was just dawning at the Poison Dragon Valley, which was more than 10,000 miles away in the west.
Ye Xiaochuan sat on a chair in the stone room, his face ashen.
Wang Keke was reporting the news from Hanyang City.
“The western suburbs of Hanyang City, Xicheng, the northern dock, the northern city, the eastern city, and the eastern suburbs were all annihilated, human and animal, except for a small part of the southern city and the refugee camps in the southern suburbs that were not attacked.
According to the data returned, the death toll in Hanyang City this time is estimated to exceed 800,000.
Both the imperial court and the Cangyun Sect issued statements for the first time, accusing the demons of the heavens of exterminating humanity.
The Second Emperor of Tianjie also issued a statement half an hour ago, firmly denying that the Hanyang City massacre was their fault.
And... they said in the statement..."
Wang Keke hesitated and said nothing.
"What did they say?"
"They said... only Chang Sheng Jue, the most sinister and evil person in the three realms, can suck up the flesh, blood and soul of so many people in an instant."
Wang Keke said carefully.
At the same time, pay attention to Ye Xiaochuan's expression.
However, Ye Xiaochuan's expression did not seem to have changed at all.
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "How is my junior sister's family doing?"
Wang Keke said: "Yang Jiu's parents live in Nancheng and escaped and were not affected."
Ye Xiaochuan nodded slightly.
Wang Keke said: "Xiaochuan, the two emperors of Tianjie obviously have bad intentions. We have to explain as soon as possible. The impact of this matter is too bad and we cannot get involved."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "You go to Long Tianshan to discuss and draft a statement and send it out as soon as possible."
Ye Xiaochuan didn't care much about reputation before.
Now that's no longer possible, he still aims to unify the world.
If the Second Emperor of Heaven were allowed to distort public opinion and throw dirty water on himself, it would be extremely detrimental to his reputation.
After Wang Keke left, Ye Xiaochuan began to pinch his eyebrows.
He knew that the tragedy in Hanyang City was probably caused by Yu Jizi.
However, he did not dare to say it.
It’s not that I’m thinking of Cangyun Sect’s many years of upbringing.
But because of two words.
The big picture.
Yes, promoting Bayu to become the leader of the Demon Cult is for the overall good.
Helping Yu Jizi conceal this matter is still for the overall good.
Now as long as Ye Xiaochuan tells the truth about the Hanyang City tragedy and the Yangtze River Yinmai Massacre, Yujizi will be completely finished, and Ye Xiaochuan's last resistance to the fight for the master of the human world will collapse in an instant.
But he couldn't say.
Because only Yujizi can control the terrifying magic circle on Cangyun Mountain.
With that magic circle, in the final battle, the human victory rate can be increased by 20%.
With the combat power of both sides evenly divided, the 20% chance is greater than the other two, which is enough to turn the tide.
Ye Xiaochuan's soul entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation and informed Mu Shen and Ye Cha about the events in Hanyang City.
After listening to this, both of them looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant, nor panicked, showing their noble demeanor.
Ye Chadao: "Xiaochuan, are you sure this was done by Yu Jizi?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "I'm not completely sure, I'm only 80% sure. I still can't believe that the once wise and wise head master could do such a tragic thing."
Ye Chadao: "The remaining 20% of your money is based on your feelings for Yu Jizi. Hey, it seems that he is probably the one who did this."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "What should I do? If we deal with him, no one will be able to control the Samsara Sword Formation, and the combat power of the world will be reduced sharply. I can't be sure now how demonized Yu Jizi's mind is. If we let it go,
I'm worried that a lot of innocent people will die."
