The city lord's wife still wore a veil that reached her ankles.
The long black veil covered her eyebrows, making it impossible to see her expression.
Lu Yuchen clearly felt her gaze, staring at him without blinking.
He instantly felt creepy and trembling like a sieve.
The leader of Yuehua Sect could no longer bear it and grabbed the front of Lu Yuchen's clothes, asking loudly:
"Our disciples are still in the secret realm, and this kind of thing has appeared again. What the hell is going on?!"
Lu Yuchen began to struggle like crazy:
"I don't know! I don't know anything!"
"You can't beat him!"
"You're all going to die!"
"We're all going to die!"
Before he finished speaking, the "silkworm pupae" suddenly began to wriggle strangely.
"Sizzle—"
The sound of tearing cloth rang out one after another.
The silkworm pupa was torn open, and one strange-looking creature after another crawled out of it.
At first glance, they look very similar to humans.
But, take another closer look...
They only have one vertical eye and a big mouth that is split from the left ear to the right ear.
The whole body has a strange copper-green color, like rusted bronze.
The limbs are extremely slender, and the ends of the upper arms are not human palms and fingers, but sickle-shaped like a praying mantis.
"Monster! It's a monster!"
Everyone was horrified and took out their own magical weapons.
The monsters crawled out of the cocoons quickly.
With disgusting mucus still covering his body, he launched an indiscriminate attack on the monks.
For a moment, the sounds of fighting, crying, and screaming came one after another.
The entire Lu family in Jiangcheng seemed to have fallen into the Avici Hell.
The others had all been through trials and tribulations, so they used their spiritual powers to fight against the monsters.
Only Fu Qinglian, although a music cultivator, has always only known romance.
When had she ever seen such a sight?
He was unable to dodge and had his throat bitten by a monster.
Fu Qinglian didn't even have time to shout before she was covered in blood and died with her eyes open.
After all, they have been married for many years.
Seeing this, Lu Yuchen's eyes widened and he shouted:
"Lian'er——"
But before he could rush forward, thick, winding vines and countless terrifying poisonous insects suddenly fell from the sky.
Each vine is as thick as a person's waist.
He rolled the man up and crushed him into meat paste in an instant.
Each poisonous insect looks like a corpse-eating bug and has terrifying mouthparts.
The mouthparts were extremely sharp, and if the monk was not careful, he would be bitten into two pieces.
"It's over!"
Seeing this, Lu Yuchen was heartbroken and screamed at the top of his lungs:
"It's him! He's back!"
"Him? Who is he?!" Everyone was stunned and terrified.
But when asked again, Lu Yuchen did not answer, but just muttered to himself:
"He's still alive. He, he, he... he's here for revenge! No one here can escape!"
They are all monks with cultivation skills.
Faced with such a monster, the ordinary people in Jiangcheng had no power to fight back and could only wait to die.
Immediately, the leader of Yuehua Sect shouted at Lu Yuchen, asking him to send people to protect the people in the city.
"Haha! Protecting mortals?..."
Lu Yuchen laughed strangely:
"These monsters are all raised by that person."
"We can barely protect ourselves, how can we spare the energy to protect those mortals?"
"He's just a mere mortal like an ant. Just die, and so be it!"
After Lu Yuchen finished speaking, he just glanced at Fu Qinglian's corpse indifferently.
Then he turned around and walked away, rushing directly into the group of monsters.
Upon seeing this, the leader of Yuehua Sect was furious:
"Heaven is merciless and treats all things as straw dogs."
"What's the difference between mortals and monks?!"
"The reason why your Jiangcheng Lu family's founder, the grandmother, chose this location is because she treats mortals and cultivators equally."
"I never thought that in just a few generations, you've completely abandoned the teachings of our ancestors!"
The leader of Yuehua Sect was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"Why waste your time talking to him!? If he doesn't save you, I will!"
The wife of the Yuehua Sect's leader was beside her, she concentrated her energy on her dantian, raised her arms and said:
"We cultivate the Dao to slay demons, defend the Dao, and protect the common people."
"Today, in this situation, if we don't take action now, when will we?!"
"My fellow Daoists, I dare to call on you to build a defensive barrier in Jiangcheng and rescue the people here."
“Those who share the same ideals, please join me!”
"With morality at the forefront, even death is no big deal!"
As soon as these words came out, they were responded to by hundreds:
"Well said!"
Immediately, several sect leaders and clan masters flew forward.
He led his disciples to set up an extremely powerful defensive barrier in the center of the city.
Many monks ignored their own safety and searched the city for civilians, taking the elderly, the weak, women and children with them and hiding in the barrier.
This behavior seemed to be contagious, and more and more monks joined in.
More and more ordinary people have been transferred to safe places.
And when Mrs. Jin, who was covered in gold jewelry and holding two pig-killing knives, finally drove away the poisonous insects and protected a pair of poor orphan brothers.
From the alley ahead, a group of extremely terrifying monsters ran out.
They opened their mouths wide, swung their scarlet tongues, and waved their sickle-like forelimbs.
"Don't be afraid, kids! Get behind me!"
Mrs. Jin was rescued by Lin Manman and others in the Jade Maiden Sect. She came back to recuperate for a long time and finally recovered.
However, they had not enjoyed peace for a few days before they encountered another disaster that seemed like an end to the world.
Although Mrs. Jin's cultivation is not high, she also has a chivalrous heart.
"Right! Death is nothing compared to morality!"
"My life was saved by someone else."
"Now, if I sacrifice this life and can save two more, I'll be considered a winner!"
Mrs. Jin wielded the two butcher knives with great vigor.
He chopped down the monsters like cutting melons and vegetables, and carved out a bloody path.
"Children, hurry up..."
But before she could finish her words, Mrs. Jin's vision was blurred by blood.
Acting City Lord Lu Yuchen stood at the end of the alley, staring at her with a gloomy face.
