The bright moon shines on a small river on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In the winter of last year, the border troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty fought more than ten battles around this small river. Finally, a fortress here in the Northern Wei Dynasty was captured. Soon after, as the Southern Dynasty troops continued to penetrate deeper, the army's defenses changed.
, but no Southern Dynasty troops were stationed in this area, and actual control returned to the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After Mo Zong left the Northern Wei Dynasty, a large number of border troops defected, and there was no possibility for the Northern Wei Dynasty to conquer the lost territory. Although the actual control of such places returned to the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible to rebuild the fortress and come back again.
Station troops.
Due to the defection of a large number of troops, even some fortresses that had not been attacked by the southern frontier troops now had no troops stationed there. Two hundred miles north from here, five of the fortresses were deserted, and they were all empty in the night.
Like a huge abandoned tomb.
Not only was the entire border of the Northern Wei Dynasty lifeless, but the entire Luoyang and the entire Northern Wei Dynasty were also entangled in an invisible and intangible, but seemingly real, twilight atmosphere that weighed on every person in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In a dilapidated turret by the river that seemed to be about to collapse soon, two practitioners dressed as Taoists were sitting.
The two practitioners dressed as Taoists are both middle-aged men in their forties. One has a whisk in the crook of his left arm, and the other has empty hands except for a purple-gold gourd hanging around his waist.
These two practitioners were worshiped by Wuyisi in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Wuyi Department of the Northern Wei Dynasty was under the direct control of the Northern Wei Palace. Its function was originally to check all the practitioners in Luoyang to prevent powerful practitioners from entering Luoyang without knowing it. At the same time, it also supervised all the practitioners under the powerful families.
who.
However, after Yuan Yan left Luoyang, Wu Yisi's authority had been further expanded, and they would also assist in receiving and delivering information sent back from the Southern Dynasties.
These two Wuyisi practitioners were originally from the Southern Dynasties. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were many Southern Dynasties Taoist practitioners like them who could not gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasty and had to flee to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Instead, they were reused in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was shrouded in a heavy twilight atmosphere at this time, making people feel that their future was uncertain, these two Wuyisi practitioners never had the slightest intention of returning to the Southern Dynasty.
The bright moonlight shines on the way home, and the bright moonlight always makes it easy for people to remember the way home. However, these two Wuyisi practitioners had no homes in the Southern Dynasties. On the contrary, they all had families in Luoyang.
So when the moonlight fell on the turret where they were, what they thought of was their home in Luoyang.
The moon has not yet reached its zenith. Logically speaking, if it is not obscured by dark clouds, the moonlight will become brighter and brighter.
But at this moment, the two Wuyisi practitioners suddenly felt that it was getting dark.
There are no dark clouds.
But on the path at the south end of the river, a middle-aged man who seemed to be about the same age as them appeared.
The aura on this man's body was calm, and even though he had appeared in their sight, the two Wuyisi practitioners did not even feel that there was anything strange about this middle-aged man.
But when their eyes fell on this middle-aged man, they felt as if their perceptions were being pulled by an inexplicable force, so that they were instantly sure that the other party was aware of their existence.
Who is this person?
Who can have such a calm aura on their body, but give them such a feeling that they are not on the same level at all, and even swallow up everything in this world?
The two Wuyisi practitioners could not see the man's face clearly at this time, but their eyes subconsciously fell between the man's neck.
The word "Demon Sect" has already appeared in their minds.
It was just that the man's neck was very flat, without any strange rot or bulges. This was inconsistent with the information they had received before, which made the two practitioners feel slightly at ease.
But the other party didn't have much time for them to think. At the next moment, the man looked up at the turret, and his eyes fell on them sitting in the shadow of the turret.
The two of them still couldn't see the man's face clearly, because as the man raised his head, the air between the two practitioners and the man seemed to be slightly distorted, forming many translucent textures, like many
The layers of colored glass are folded up.
Behind these translucent textures, the middle-aged man's face seems to have turned into countless faces and countless different faces.
But these slightly distorted faces have the same characteristic, that is, they are full of death, like the faces of dead people.
The middle-aged man just raised his head and glanced at the turret, and the two Wuyi Division practitioners let out a horrifying scream at the same time.
They only felt that at this moment, it was like countless dead faces flying towards them from a distance of hundreds of feet.
Their screams of fear only came from the intuitive feeling in their perception, but at the same time, their body skin felt a slight tingling, and they felt the real power approaching.
The hands and feet of the two Wuyisi practitioners became extremely cold, the flesh and blood all over their bodies became stiff, and even the movement of the true energy flowing in the meridians seemed to be slower than usual.
They have never encountered such a terrifying opponent, nor such a terrifying method.
Neither of them knew how to deal with such a strange attack from the other side.
The two just wanted to escape.
The two people used their strongest methods without thinking.
A purple flame lit up first.
The purple flame comes from the gourd on the waist of the Wuyisi practitioner.
The true energy in his body continued to pour into the bottom of the gourd, and a lot of purple phosphorus fire rushed out of the gourd's mouth, spraying around and burning violently.
This is Yin Phosphate Sand, a vicious magic weapon that can completely burn the true essence.
At the same time, the Wuyisi practitioner next to him surged with natal vitality from his Qi sea, and a ball of white light emerged from the depths of his Qi sea.
However, at this moment, there was a soft popping sound, and before the complete transformation of the white light was completed, the center of it had directly collapsed.
The Wuyisi practitioner's Qi sea exploded directly, and countless fragments of broken flesh, flesh and bones rushed towards the front of his body like a waterfall.
The practitioner who was still spraying the Yin Phosphorus Sand was so frightened that he was stunned. He found that his Yin Phosphorus Sand could not burn the opponent's true energy at all, but his fear only lasted for a short breath.
A vague gray shadow was like a gray moth landing in his open mouth. A series of strange sounds sounded in his throat, and his body was shaken by the explosion that came from deep within his body.
The power tore it apart, turning it into pieces of flesh and blood flying all over the sky.
The middle-aged man's expression didn't change at all. He just took a deep breath at this time.
In the night filled with the smell of blood, many gray flames quietly ignited, and then poured into his body with his breathing.
"Does it have to be this way?"
The middle-aged man's voice rang out.
His voice was familiar to many people in Jiankang City, and even more familiar to many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He is indeed a demon sect.
His neck was indeed extremely smooth, and there were no traces of malignant tumors festering at this time.
It's just that after he devoured the vitality of the two Wuyisi practitioners, two gray tears naturally appeared in the corners of his eyes, which looked very weird, making his face look like a mask.
"Must we march all the way into Luoyang in an honorable manner?"
When he spoke the second sentence, Yu Wenlie, a cultivator who was even more mysterious than him, appeared not far behind him, nodded with a smile, and responded: "Of course it is necessary, otherwise you will
How can he become the devil that everyone hates but cannot deal with."
Mo Zong shook his head and stopped talking.
Yuwen Lie's figure quickly disappeared not far behind him.
Mo Zong continued to move in the direction of Luoyang.
At dawn, he arrived at the first fairly lively market town on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
An official road of the Northern Wei Dynasty passed through this market town.
Outside the market town, there were a small number of Northern Wei border troops stationed, numbering in the hundreds.
Several cavalry scouts quickly discovered his presence. After issuing a warning, these cavalry soldiers marched towards him while questioning him from a distance.
As soon as their voices rang out, their heads exploded, as if they were shattered by their own voices.
