Chapter 67 Bloody Formation

When Zhou Zhilu rushed out of the city, he realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

The sky within a few miles outside the city gate was dyed red at this moment. The dark red clouds were piled thickly in the sky, like an inescapable cage, making people feel very depressed.

Under the sky, there were tens of thousands of people in chaos on the wasteland. Their eyes were glowing red as they kept attacking everything in their sight.

Some of them were strangling each other and refusing to let go, as if they were revenge for their father's murder. However, suddenly one of them stabbed the other in the heart from behind. The two survivors saw each other fighting madly again.

Whether children or the elderly, they all became enemies at this moment. However, most of the people who came here to see a doctor were the elderly and children. Countless miserable corpses could be seen abandoned on the ground.

Every moment, innocent lives are lost on this land.

Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers had come out from the city gate to try to stop the chaos, and the leader was the fifth prince.

However, the officers and soldiers under his command did not understand the point. Seeing that the people were going crazy and refusing to obey orders, they became furious and wanted to kill them in a fit of rage.

One of them, judging by his armor, should be the fifth prince's personal guard. Seeing a man rushing towards him madly, he drew the long sword at his waist and swung it to chop him.

At this moment, a flash of sword came and deflected the attack of the personal guard.

Zhou Zhilu appeared in front of the guards in an instant, grabbed the man who was rushing towards him, and swung him, dislocating his shoulder.

Golden light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stabbed the other person with his fingers. As he moved upwards, the man vomited, and a black insect was vomited to the ground, which was then stepped on to death by Zhou Zhilu.

After checking the injuries of the unconscious man, Zhou Zhilu raised his eyebrows, and spiritual energy surged to his throat, and then he shouted loudly.

"Everyone listen!

"These people are possessed by evil insects and cannot hear anything, but there is still hope!

"So don't kill them, hit their arms and legs! They are just untrained people, just subdue them, and wait for the people from Fuyesi to deal with it later!"

The spiritual energy carried the sound and spread all around.

The fifth prince who was giving orders heard the sound and looked over. He saw a young man in a black robe with two swords on his waist leaping towards him in a few steps.

Then he landed in front of him, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I am Zhou Zhilu, a seventh-rank Night Guard of the Night Guards."

The fifth prince looked Zhou Zhilu up and down: "You are Zhou Zhilu..."

Zhou Zhilu blinked, feeling that the Fifth Prince had an unfriendly look in his eyes.

"What is going on here?" The fifth prince withdrew his gaze and asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Zhilu told the other party everything he knew.

"Liao Bufan... defective medicinal herbs... the Illusionary Silkworm... Oh, the lives of tens of thousands of people are nothing in their eyes!

"Then what are these blood-colored light pillars?"

Zhou Zhilu shook his head and said, "I don't know either..."

"Formation! It's a formation!"

Suddenly, a man's voice was heard from a distance. The two looked and saw Fusu, dressed in a tattered Taoist robe, walking in the air.

After landing in front of the two, Fusu panted and said, "It's a formation. The construction here is a large formation!"

"What formation? Explain it clearly!" the fifth prince scolded.

Fusu took a breath, held his knees with both hands and said, "Hey, let me catch my breath for a while...

"Your Highness, I felt something was amiss here a couple of days ago, and I've been exploring it these past two days. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at formations...

"It wasn't until these blood-red pillars of light rose that I realized the nearly ten thousand straw huts here actually formed a large formation, and these four blood-red pillars of light were the base of the formation!"

The straw huts formed the pattern of the great formation?!

Zhou Zhilu reacted instantly: "These straw huts were built with donations from Liao Bufan! If it's him... combined with the Illusionary Silkworm, then his goal... is blood!"

"Blood?"

The fifth prince and Fusu were surprised.

Zhou Zhilu quickly explained, "There was also a case of the Illusionary Silkworm in Wanghai County. There was also a formation underground where the crime occurred. The formation gathered all the blood of the deceased, so the formation here is also very likely for blood!"

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince immediately grabbed Fusu's shoulders and shouted, "Since you've figured out this is a formation, how do you break it?"

"The four blood pillars are the base of the formation. There must be corresponding buildings there. As long as we destroy the buildings around the blood pillars, we should be able to stop the formation!

"It's just that the four formation bases are one entity. If three are destroyed, the power of the formation will flow into the other formation base, causing an imbalance and explosion. Therefore, the time between the destruction of the four formation bases cannot be too long!"

As he was speaking, Yun Li finally arrived from a distance with Fu Ye Si's men.

But when he saw that there were only a dozen people behind Yun Li, and all of them were injured, Zhou Zhilu's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Everyone else also drank the medicine soup and was infected by the Illusionary Silkworm. Only the Anbu people didn't drink it. When I rushed over, everyone had already started fighting!

"Finally, after finally controlling those people and extracting the Illusionary Silkworm, only a dozen of us were left with the fighting power."

Although there was a shortage of manpower, the current situation could not be delayed any further, so everyone had to divide the targets among themselves.

Zhou Zhilu and Fusu each took some people to be responsible for the two blood pillars in the south, while the fifth prince and Yun Li were responsible for the one in the north.

Just looking at the exhausted state of Yun Li and the dozen or so people behind him, Zhou Zhilu felt a little worried. After all, those people in Fuyesi were not ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation. It would not be so easy to subdue them when they went crazy.

But now I can only pray that the plan goes smoothly.

He rushed all the way to the north with nearly a hundred officers and soldiers. Zhou Zhilu did not dare to hold back on the civilians he met on the way and knocked them all unconscious. As for how many people would survive in the end, Zhou Zhilu could not guarantee it.

For the people outside the city, this was destined to be a tragic disaster.

When they arrived at the blood-red light column, a strong wind hit everyone.

Zhou Zhilu looked towards the wind and saw a metal watchtower standing in the light column. Around it, there were more than a dozen storage warehouses emitting red light, which complemented the light column.

"Divide into groups of ten, each responsible for a house, and destroy all the houses around here that are glowing red!"

As the officers and soldiers dispersed, Zhou Zhilu drew out his two swords and instantly ran towards the blood-red light column. He leaped into the air and dived into it.

The blood-red light washed over his body, and a fierce burning sensation filled Zhou Zhilu's surroundings, as if all the skin on his body was burned at this moment.

However, he couldn't care less about that at the moment. He just saw Zhou Zhilu gritting his teeth and roaring, holding up his two swords. Red and blue light extended from the blades, intertwined together, and instantly smashed towards the watchtower below.

"boom!"

With a loud roar, the watchtower was instantly split into two.

However, at this moment, a pitch-black tentacle suddenly emerged from the ground of the watchtower and suddenly stabbed Zhou Zhilu!
