Panic began to spread rapidly, infecting people throughout the capital.
But before people could riot, troops had already appeared on the streets, responsible for maintaining order and not allowing anyone to cause chaos.
At the same time, on the top of the city, the monks from the Demon-Slaying Division were already waiting in full formation.
Everyone stared at the wasteland outside the city.
They could feel that there were a large number of demons and evil spirits gathering deep in the wilderness.
The catastrophe of the national destiny has begun, and soon, those things will start to attack crazily, all the living people they can see.
As a place with the most living people and the strongest human blood, the capital city is naturally their first choice for attack.
The same thing would happen in every city in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Mu and Chi Huo stood by the city wall, looking at the sky with solemn expressions.
It is different from the clear sky that ordinary people see.
At this moment, in the eyes of these monks, the clear sky has actually been obscured by thick dark clouds condensed by the tribulation energy.
The power of the calamity cloud blocks the sunlight, so people cannot see the existence of the sun.
And the light that illuminates the heaven and earth now is naturally not sunlight, but comes from the capital's protective formation.
At this time, the city defense formation has been fully opened, and the light emitted shines for thousands of miles, magnificent and spectacular.
"Finally, it begins."
Zhao Mu took a deep breath: "Let everyone prepare and guard the city defense formation. Once the formation is damaged, it must be repaired immediately. We must not allow any evil spirits to have a chance to break into the city."
"yes!"
The monks behind him took the order and immediately began to perform their duties.
Zhao Mu looked at Chi Huo: "When can the disciples from each sect come?"
"I contacted you just now, they still need half a month."
Chi Huo replied: "We have a large city defense formation. As long as there are no accidents, we can resist for half a year. There is no problem, sir. Don't worry."
Yes, as long as there are no accidents.
Zhao Mu thought secretly in his heart.
But the reason why accidents are called accidents is because they always come quietly when people don't expect them to happen.
Rumble!
Half an hour later, a deafening roar resounded throughout the world, as if the world had been torn apart.
In the eyes of the monks, the calamity clouds in the sky suddenly began to roll violently, emitting a terrifying power that made people palpitate.
This power reacted with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and an infinite mist suddenly appeared.
A huge fog fell from the sky and filled the entire world.
At this moment, no matter the capital or the frontier, no matter the city or the wilderness.
As long as they were within the scope of the Jin Dynasty, everyone was trapped in thick fog, and ordinary people could not see clearly anything more than a foot away.
fear!
Horror!
despair!
Filled in everyone's heart.
There was a commotion in the capital, and the people were shouting in panic, trying to call their relatives.
But at this moment, they could no longer tell the direction, and everyone was caught off guard by this sudden change.
Even the monks, many of them were panicked for a while.
Because in the history of the world of immortality, more than once a mortal country has experienced a catastrophe in its national destiny.
But during those great catastrophes, there was never a time like today when a fog filled the entire world.
Obviously, this national disaster is completely different from the previous ones.
Surprisingly, it happened after all!
Woo...
Suddenly, roars came one after another in the fog, which was the signal for the evil spirits to launch an attack on the city.
"Everyone be on alert!"
Chi Huo roared fiercely.
The monks immediately activated the formation with all their strength, and the light around the city became even stronger, even piercing the fog.
The next moment, monsters rushed out of the fog and launched a fierce attack on the capital.
Those demons were physically tyrannical, and their bodies were filled with terrifying demonic power. They slammed into the city defense formation without any fancy.
The huge power even made the whole capital seem to be shaking.
Not only the ground, many bird demons also flew high into the sky, trying to invade the capital from the air.
In addition to the physical demons, there are also countless evil spirits, attacking from various sinister angles, and even trying to pass through the city defense formation directly with their invisible and massless spiritual bodies.
Fortunately, the city defense formation deployed by the Demon Slayer Division was all-round defensive and did not have any blind spots, so the evil spirits were not allowed to succeed.
Roar!
roar!
roar!
The terrifying sound echoed between heaven and earth, making the people in the city still trapped in the fog even more frightened.
Chi Huo looked at the densely packed demons outside the city and said with lingering fear:
"Sir, fortunately you had the foresight to ask the Demon Slayer Division to set up protective formations in various major cities in advance. Otherwise, as soon as the catastrophe began, 50% of the people of the Jin Dynasty would have died."
But there was no pride on Zhao Mu's face.
He frowned: "This catastrophe of national destiny seems to be more powerful than before from the beginning."
"Yes, according to the records in the Ziwei Daomen Library, there has never been a fog in the past catastrophes of national destiny."
Chi Huo also said solemnly.
"I'm not just talking about fog."
Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "According to the records in the library, at the beginning of the great catastrophe in the past, although there were demons attacking the city, the number and cultivation of the demons were not too exaggerated."
"At least in the beginning, the mortal armies of those countries were actually capable of resisting the demon siege. Although the losses would be heavy, what about now?"
Zhao Mu pointed at the monsters outside: "Look at those things. Regardless of their number or cultivation, they are far beyond what a mortal army can fight against."
"If it weren't for the large city defense formation, I'm afraid the capital city would have been breached as soon as the attack just started. The troops in our city are simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
"yes!"
Chi Huo's expression was extremely serious: "The evil spirits of this scale have far exceeded the previous catastrophes in the national destiny. Sir, why do you think this is the case?"
"have no idea."
Zhao Mu shook his head: "I have a very bad feeling. If we don't figure out the reason, even if the disciples of the sect arrive, it may be difficult to end this catastrophe of the national destiny."
"Sir, do you think this change may be man-made?"
"Man-made?"
Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered the real people behind the God of Incense and Fire that he had been tracking down all these years.
I don’t know where that person came from?
Does the current change in the national destiny have something to do with him?
If it is relevant, what is his purpose?
Could it be that just to prevent the Jin Dynasty from surviving the disaster, all the people in this country died?
"It seems that I must find a way to speed up the condensation of the last source of human desire."
"As long as I can transform Jiucai Liuli into a sage realm, then no matter what happens, I will have enough strength to deal with it."
