By the afternoon, the twenty guards were also busy.
He was bragging to the people in the village about how powerful the Qilin Cult was and how powerful their leader was.
He doesn't take those people from the Ten Directions Sect seriously at all.
"Our leader is the incarnation of the mythical beast Qilin roaming the human world..."
"What? You didn't know this epidemic was caused by Qiongqi?" The guard angrily accused everyone, "Qiongqi is harming the world and spreading the plague everywhere, and you actually said you didn't know!"
"For the sake of the people of the world, our leader traveled all over the country to eliminate the remnants of the Qiongqi evil, making such a great sacrifice to restore peace to the world, and yet you still don't even know the instigator of this."
The people were confused.
"However, Taoist Qifang said that it was the court's inhumanity and the rebellion of the aristocratic families that caused the punishment from heaven."
The guard's face was filled with disdain. "What nonsense! No matter how cruel the imperial court was, how could such a great turmoil have occurred? You know, the tyrants of the previous dynasty were even more cruel, and they didn't seem to receive any punishment from heaven..."
The people around felt dazed when they heard this.
Could it really be Qiongqi's doing?
Hearing the noise, Taoist Qifang and his men hurried over.
He could tolerate trouble, but if his followers dared to rebel, it touched his bottom line.
Taoist Qifang's eyes were filled with rage, and he wished he could kill them immediately.
Wei Xiyin appeared at the right time.
She spoke to the guards with an enigmatic expression, "You must be quiet. This leader is dedicated to the common people of the world. I firmly believe in my heart, so what if I am misunderstood by the world?"
The guard quickly bowed his head and said yes.
Wei Xiyin put on an apologetic air, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. We, the followers, are simply too devout. We're eager to publicize our leader's deeds. How could we understand that we shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the people? Our deeds don't need to be made public."
When the work is done, I will leave, hiding my body and name.
Those new believers of the Ten Directions Religion were greatly shocked when they heard this.
Taoist Qifang was so angry that his face turned green.
If he took action now, wouldn't it confirm what the Qilin Cult said? He was afraid that these believers would rebel at any time.
Wei Xiyin decided to quit and waved to the guards, "Alright, everyone go back to your rooms. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
But in my heart I said: I'll make you die of rage.
Taoist Qifang stared at her departing back with gloomy eyes.
The group returned to the remote village house.
Qin Shan was a little worried, "Girl, if we act like this, I'm afraid those people from the Ten Directions Sect won't be able to resist and take action."
"So what?" Wei Xiyin didn't care. "You're talking as if they won't take action unless we do it." She hoped that those people would lose their patience and take action sooner.
Qin Shan was speechless.
"Is everything arranged around here?" Wei Xiyin asked.
Qin Shan came back to his senses and said, "Everything is ready. The guards went to investigate the northeast corner where the prisoners were held. Those people were very alert, so the guards didn't dare to approach. They only knew that there were indeed people imprisoned there."
Everything is ready, just waiting for dark.
As both sides eagerly waited, night fell quietly.
The moon is at its zenith.
After the believers fell asleep, the whole village fell into silence.
Taoist Qifang had a vicious look in his eyes and ordered the people below: "Go and deal with those people, don't make any noise." When the believers wake up tomorrow, they will say that the Qilin Sect has left.
The man with the scimitar stood silently by with his arms folded over his chest and the scimitar in his right hand.
The subordinate received the order and led fifty believers, who took advantage of the night and quietly surrounded the remote hut where the Qilin Cult lived.
This place is located at the end of the village and there are not many people living around. As long as you don't make too much noise, it won't alarm the people in the village.
Someone came quietly to the door, pried it open skillfully, and gestured to everyone.
The people around immediately nodded in understanding.
The door was quietly and slowly pushed open, and the believers immediately raised their weapons and rushed into the room.
Soon they discovered that the house was empty!
Everyone was shocked.
Before they could leave the house, they heard a whistle suddenly from outside.
All I heard was a loud bang.
A huge explosion sounded.
In a moment.
The huge air wave blew off the entire roof, creating a deep pit on the ground inside the house. Everyone inside was blown to pieces, and their broken limbs were thrown into the air, spinning several times before falling to the ground outside.
Those who did not enter the house and were affected by the shock wave fell to the ground, screaming.
Under the cover of night, the sound traveled very far.
Not far away.
Wei Xiyin exclaimed in amazement, "Chu Yu is truly capable. He can make gunpowder to such an effect just by following the recipe."
She commented, "It still needs some improvement though. The power could be increased a bit, so that when the time comes, we can kill a whole bunch of zombies with one blast, which would make up for the lack of cheat codes."
The guards surrounding the girl stared at the scene of the accident in amazement.
This thing is really amazing.
The explosion resounded through the night sky, the entire house was set on fire by gunpowder, and screams were heard all around, startling everyone who was sleeping in the village.
There were noises everywhere, and oil lamps were lit in some houses.
Wei Xiyin saw that the time was almost up, so she said, "Okay, let's proceed as planned."
"yes."
The guards took the order and left.
Those places where the "True Fire of the Sun" was secretly placed soon caught fire.
In less than a moment, the village became a sea of fire.
The guards set fire while shouting: "The fire is coming!"
Qin Shan and some of his subordinates had quietly slipped to the northeast corner.
It was dark at night and it was difficult to be discovered if you hid in the corner.
He was quietly waiting for the guard to leave.
Taoist Qifang suddenly heard the noise and immediately realized that something had happened!
His face changed drastically, and he came to the door and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where did that loud noise come from?"
There were only twenty or so people on the opposite side, but they couldn't even take them down.
However, no one could answer him, and the believers guarding the door were also confused.
The loud rumbling noise was so scary, like an earthquake, it made people's hearts skip a beat, it was so shocking.
Before they could understand what was happening, they saw flames coming out from different places in the distance.
The flames quickly grew into a raging fire.
Someone was shouting, "The fire is coming!"
For a moment, the whole village was in chaos. The people who rushed out didn't know whether to escape or put out the fire...
The man with the scimitar suddenly spoke up, "It was the Qilin Cult who did this."
"You shouldn't have agreed to let people in in the first place."
Taoist Qifang was furious at him, "You didn't let me kill them! Don't even think about putting all the blame on me!"
He was furious, extremely angry, and shouted outside, "Notify all believers in the village, whoever can kill that woman will be immediately promoted to a messenger of the Ten Directions Religion!"
And outside the village.
The moment the explosion sounded, Chang Ying had already led the remaining troops to the outskirts of the village and surrounded the entire village.
Be ready to rush in at any time.
