Chapter 65 Chapter 65 The Immortal is not here to take care of them...
It’s not a fairy dog, it’s a fairy king!
The soldiers were in awe of Old Ancestor Wangcai. It turned out that he was an immortal. No wonder he was so powerful. Xuanshan was truly unfathomable.
Bai Lu stroked the fur frantically and calmed down the angry Wangcai Patriarch, whispering, "Brave dog, don't be afraid of fighting!"
Immortal Lord Ke Yun probably never imagined that after surviving his entire life, he would become a pioneer in Bai Lu's hands after reincarnation and be forced to face the enemy head-on.
Huo Xuexiang was guarding the front line with a sword outside, while Bai Lu led the soldiers to clear the city. He also arranged for Chao Tianzi to fly up to the sky to overlook the battle situation, inspect the movements of the opposite side, and report at any time.
By this time, Bai Lu also learned that the permanent population of Yicheng was tens of thousands. After the city was broken, most people originally wanted to flee to the mountains and forests. Some of them had even run out of the city, but most of them were still in the city.
"Some ghosts have also chased us out of the city. There is also the miasma they released outside. It is extremely dangerous. Can the immortal help me to find the people who left the city?" The general guarding the city, whose surname was Jiang, requested with a bow.
Previously, the fall of the city was a foregone conclusion, and there was no point in escaping anywhere. Now that hope had suddenly arisen, whether to leave or stay, everyone should gather together to facilitate the protection of the three immortals.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Bai Lu replied a little awkwardly, "Wait, I'll go with you."
There are few people, but there are too many things to do. All the ghosts and monsters in the city are entangled and it is difficult for them to move unless they are dead. Occasionally there are some that slip through the net, and they can be handed over to the emperor to assist the soldiers and the people to continue to work together to eliminate them.
Brigadier General Jiang led another team of a hundred men out of the city, with Bai Lu gliding in front on his sword.
When Lieutenant General Jiang saw Bai Lu gliding on the sword, he thought that the immortal was not flying in the sky to take care of them. The immortal's gliding seemed much more delicate than the immortal saving the world, and he was even more moved for a moment.
From a distance, Bai Lu did see at least hundreds of people running towards the mountain being chased by ghosts and monsters. They had completely lost their ability to organize during the chase and fled in all directions.
"Go over there first." Bai Lu shouted, heading towards the largest group of people. The Wangcai Patriarch in his arms trembled a little, and he was afraid that Bai Lu would throw it out to hit the ghosts at any time...
The ghosts that hunted the residents were monkey-like in body shape, but had bird-like feathers, and two white eyebrows above their blood-red eyes. They could possess a human body by just pouncing forward. In fact, they were eating the human organs, blood and flesh. When they were done eating, only an empty skin was left of the human body.
"Night Corpse God!" Lieutenant General Jiang recognized it. This creature also existed in the human world, but it was not as powerful as this one. Most of them transformed into poisonous insects and secretly drilled into people's bodies. It was even more impossible for it to suck people up and leave only a skin bag in the blink of an eye.
Seeing a Night Corpse God drill into the body of the slow-running woman, Bai Lu's sword flew up to a height of more than a person, passed over it and hung a necklace on each of the two trees. When he came back, he just grabbed the woman, and his other hand was placed on the woman's face, concentrating on casting a spell, so his body was completely facing away from the dozens of Night Corpses behind him.
"Tokika!"
At the same time, before the Night Corpses who wanted to take the opportunity to pounce on Bai Lu's back could get close, the necklace on the tree burst into a blue magical light, and the water energy knocked them all to the ground like a wave.
From a distance, it looked like a giant blue shield connected by two necklaces.
And Bai Lu was behind the shield. As he whispered the spell, the woman opened her mouth wide and screamed silently.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Bai Lu in pain and fear. She didn't know what was happening yet. When she saw Bai Lu's green eyes, she even thought that he was also a person from the underworld.
The fellow refugees looked on from afar, their eyes filled with fear.
But the woman opened her mouth wide and panted for a long time, but only a flower came out of her mouth.
"Don't be afraid." As Bai Lu whispered, a local dog emerged from the collar of his cloak.
The local dog shook its fur. The woman was not so scared at all when she saw such a living creature. How could the ghosts in the underworld raise a puppy?
Bai Lu's fingers had already grasped the flower, pulling the stem outwards -
After pulling it out for half a meter, I saw that the roots were tightly wrapped around a spider transformed from the Night Corpse God, and the spider was gradually shriveling.
At the moment when the Night Corpse God entered the woman's body and wanted to suck her internal organs, Bai Lu cursed him with the Time Flower, and a flower seed was silently bounced into the woman's mouth, and instantly grew and took root in the Night Corpse God. Before the Night Corpse God wanted to suck her flesh and blood, it used it as nutrients to grow and bloom!
It seemed as if the flower watered by the Night Corpse God was exceptionally bright, and even had colorful spots that reminded people of poisonous insects. Bai Lu gently placed it on the ground.
The other Night Corpses that were blocked by the water shield seemed to be frightened. They stopped where they were for a moment, and then changed direction and fled.
Wangcai seemed to be also excited. He jumped from Bailu's arms and barked in the direction where the Night Corpse God was fleeing, as if he was ready to charge at any time.
Bai Lu wasn't fooled at all and didn't try to stop it.
Well, I'm really not happy about letting you take the lead.
Wangcai stood there, feeling a little embarrassed, and touched his nose with his front paw as if nothing had happened.
Bai Lu picked up Wangcai slowly. When he looked up, he found that the residents who had been fleeing had stopped at some point and were looking back at everything in front of them, their eyes full of shock.
"Immortal, immortal!" The woman wanted to kneel down to thank Bailu, and the residents also gathered around her.
Bai Lu held her up and said, "You're welcome. All right, hurry back to the city, gather together for protection, and wait for orders."
Admiral Jiang and his team also shouted at the right time: "Follow me!"
The crowd, who had no idea where to escape to, immediately followed the team as if they had found a backbone.
Cries for help were also heard from other places in the forest. They were the escaped Night Corpse Gods who encountered scattered civilians.
"I'll go. I'll go."
Bai Lu flew out on his sword, stretched out his hand and chanted an incantation, and roots of plants and trees emerged from the ground, chasing after the Night Corpse God.
It was also at this time that the forest seemed to tremble, and there was a rumbling sound approaching from the other side of the mountain range, and faint sounds of animals roaring, which was frightening.
Before Bai Lu could figure out what the sound was, Admiral Jiang, who was not far away, was already shouting excitedly, "It's reinforcements!"
Reinforcements? Bai Lu almost immediately had this impossible thought. Xuanshan was a continent away, could they arrive so quickly?
The next moment, Bai Lu saw a man and a horse emerging from the ridge.
The knight equipped with a crossbow reined in his horse and raised the flag in his hand. Then the second and third followed, until hundreds of light cavalrymen were lined up in the forest.
They looked at the remaining fleeing people and the Night Corpse God entangled by grass and trees, and instantly distinguished between friend and foe. They shouted "Kill the evil spirits" and swooped down to kill them.
The horses leaped across the mountains and trampled on the night corpse gods. With one charge, they crushed all the night corpse gods.
The damage that mortals can do to ghosts and monsters is limited, but the underworld also has its fears. This cavalry, with murderous intent, actually killed all the Night Corpse Gods.
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the reinforcements were not the ones she called for, but the nearest human garrison that came to help their fellow tribesmen under the beacon fire!
Even after arriving here, looking from the ridge, they could see that the army attacking Yicheng was the Netherworld army, and there were even eerie ghosts on the mountains, but they had no intention of retreating.
Hundreds of light cavalrymen met up with Lieutenant General Jiang, and the leader told him that they had a group of infantrymen following behind.
Lieutenant General Jiang's throat moved, and he couldn't help but choked up and said, "That's great. I now have the help of Immortal Xuanshan in Yicheng, as well as all my fellow soldiers..."
He didn't know how desperate he was when he was in the city. He never expected that he would be able to see reinforcements alive. He couldn't help but bow to Bai Lu again.
"It's okay, let's go back to the city." Bai Lu looked at the light cavalry with envy, leaned over to touch their horses, and asked eagerly, "Can I ride your horses?"
It feels so majestic.
These horses were extremely tall and straight, very different from the horses Bai Lu had seen in the scenic area or on the racecourse. After all, these horses were also veterans who had fought on the battlefield, with fragments of the Night Corpse God still on their hooves.
The cavalrymen were a little confused by the immortal's request. If the immortal could fly, why would he care about their horses?
But since Bai Lu had requested it, the cavalry naturally brought a strong warhorse. Anyway, they usually brought extra horses for rotation, so they gave one to Bai Lu, and there were still some that could carry the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Then they saw that the immortal seemed even more excited than before, and he said a few words into the horse's ear, not knowing whether it was a spell or not. Then he mounted the horse, and the warhorse immediately became docile.
Bai Lu touched the horse's neck, pulled up the reins, and held the sword in her hand like everyone else. She felt as if she was also a cavalryman... It would be better if Wangcai didn't groan in fear. Alas, the ancestor was actually afraid on horseback, maybe he had never seen a horse in the town.
Wizards have always been close to nature, and Bai Lu and the warhorse quickly developed a close relationship, with the horse trotting back to the city with an understanding look.
…
Yicheng successively welcomed two or three waves of human reinforcements. Lieutenant General Jiang explained the situation to them and arranged people to maintain order in the city, count food and grass, investigate Jintingzhou's movements, etc.
Emperor Chaotian also reported that the ghosts and monsters had started to take a detour, probably heading for a nearby city.
Their guess was correct. Those ghosts and monsters were no longer determined to capture Yicheng under the protection of Huo Xuexiang. Instead, they were dragging down the front line of Yicheng while continuously pouring into other directions.
"How come there are too many of them, just like cockroaches?" Bai Lu frowned and summoned Huo Xuexiang from the top of the city wall to explain the situation to him.
There are larger cities like Yicheng on this border line, and there are other city-states on the side, as well as some scattered towns and villages in between, but there is no garrison.
Even though Huo Xuexiang had just broken through the netherworld with his sword, his white clothes were not stained with dust. He could also see the movements of the netherworld ghosts from above. "I'll look around the surrounding towns, and you guard the city gates."
Huo Xuexiang now has to go on a tour to kill ghosts, and Bai Lu's mission is to defend Yicheng. At the same time, he also sends some soldiers to guide the scattered residents around and report the news to other cities.
Fortunately, they have now gathered the residents and have a lot more cavalry.
"Master, be careful." Bai Lu was on the top of the city wall, leaning over the wall to touch the floating Huo Xuexiang.
Huo Xuexiang stretched out his hand and shook hands with him. Since he came down the mountain with a sword, it seemed that no one had ever told him to be "careful". He tapped the white flower ring on his finger, and the flower seemed to be blown by the wind, or as if it was continuing Bai Lu's consciousness and rubbing against him.
"You too, call me if you need anything."
"...I, I will definitely live up to the reputation of Dianmei Peak!" Bai Lu has seen his master wielding the sword many times, whether it was when teaching or when breaking through the realm, but the figure of a man on the top of the city facing thousands of ghosts and monsters before still made his heart pound.
He was infected by the fighting spirit and his heart was surging, and there seemed to be something else mixed in, which made him almost unable to take his eyes away.
But at the moment, the master and disciple each had their own important tasks, so they separated in mid-air, and Huo Xuexiang raised his sword and flew north.
Bai Lu held a magic wand in her hand, her robe fluttering in the wind, her green eyes lowered as she looked down at the swarm of ghosts and monsters under the city wall. They were ready to make a move and tried to break into the city gate again.
The red flames on the top of the city and the blue ghost fires below the city reflected each other, illuminating the strange faces. There were also some ghosts in the formation that had the ability to fly, but their number was small. When they flew into the air, they were particularly conspicuous. They also played an important role in breaking the city earlier.
Bai Lu turned and walked in another direction: "Where is the archer?"
Tianqingbo is the raw material for the talisman that Huo Xue helped Bai Lu to extort from the Immortal Lord Boluan. It can amplify the effect of the talisman. Bai Lu was reluctant to use it before.
At this moment, with an order given, the archers wrapped a talisman drawn on sky-blue silk on their arrows, and each talisman contained a high-level magic.
The metal arrows were thrown out like streams of light, falling into the army that was surging like a tide under the city with a sound of breaking through the air, and then water magic burst out, hitting the enemy formation like a huge wave.
The ghosts with the ability to fly tried to occupy the air, but not only were there archers, but Chao Tianzi was flying above the city wall, wielding a broom, and no one could move.
Bai Lu took advantage of the break to take out the magic potions in stock, so as to replenish magic power and draw more talismans to provide ammunition for everyone.
In addition to the magic talismans, half of the arrows were ignited with Bifang Yang Fire. It was difficult to burn in the city, but it was easy outside the city.
Bifang Yang Fire has multiple lethality to Netherworld creatures. Although it does not have a wide range like high-level magic, it will cause continuous screams when it is shot down.
Bai Lu stood on the top of the city wall, and even released different magic according to the different ghosts.
Qingdi Jue formed a large area of plant protection here, allowing him and the soldiers on the city wall to attack with peace of mind without fear of long-range attacks from ghosts and monsters below the city.
Drawing talismans, drinking potions, casting magic… Repeating the work over and over again, my wrists ached, and even after taking the potion, my brain still felt a tingling sensation. Compared to the perpetual motion-like group in the Red Dust Trial, Bai Lu was now both a damage dealer and a meat shield, and was also responsible for logistics. He was like a whole team.
Looking at the soldiers fighting side by side, and then looking at the people of Yicheng behind him, Bai Lu continued to cast magic without saying a word.
Until he heard:
"The sun is coming out!"
Has the whole night passed?
Bai Lu looked towards the east. The morning sun rose from the horizon. The red rays of light shone on the Netherworld Army like blood. The increasingly strong sunlight made him squint.
It was also in that rosy glow that Bai Lu seemed to see some black spots in a trance, which were almost covered by the light of the morning sun, but were getting closer and clearer.
"It's reinforcements—"
This time, Bailu’s reinforcements arrived!
Rays of light fell on the top of the city, and a familiar face appeared before him. Ning Yanhu smiled at Bai Lu and said loudly: "The disciples of Xuanshan are here, and fellow disciples from Xingjiezhou and Fuxindao have also rushed to other cities!"
Cheers suddenly rang out from the top of the city. This sentence completely reassured the mortals who had been waiting all night, and made them sure that they were really saved this time!
Fuxin Island is the largest immortal cultivation sect in Xingjie Continent. On the way, they met up with Xuanshan and saw the scenes along the way. They found that Huo Xuexiang was the only one patrolling the border. The defense line was getting longer and longer. Many places were not guarded by Bailu like Yicheng. If they just wanted to repel the enemy, they had to ensure the safety of ordinary human beings. Huo Xuexiang had less and less time to take care of it.
Seeing this, the monks naturally filled in the vacancies along the way.
Bai Lu saw that many people came to Xuanshan, even Immortal Lord Boluan, Yuan Lord Chongming, Xu Zuican... and other elders and peak masters who were rarely seen in normal times, and of course his familiar classmates, and even saw many puppets and spirit beasts. It was really a full outpouring of energy.
What Ning Yanhu saw along the way was shocking, or rather, the Xuanshan side could hardly believe it when they received the message from Huo Xuexiang. The devil cultivator had been hiding for many years and actually made a big move. Could it be that this scene had summoned the entire Netherworld?
At this moment, Ning Yanhu gave an order: "Master, take the center, Uncle Xu, Uncle Shang... on the left wing, and the other elders on the right wing!"
Immortal Lord Boluan hesitated for a moment, but still felt that Hu Zi's arrangement was very good, so he jumped towards the battlefield. What else could others say? Just follow the arrangement.
With so many high-level monks showing up and each performing magic, the battle situation changed!
The mortal soldiers on the city wall could finally sit down, no longer having the strength to shout, and silently shed tears of joy.
After Ning Yanhu finished making the arrangements, he turned around and saw Luo Luo and Qiu Suo supporting Bai Lu on the left and right.
Bai Lu's hands were almost twitching, "Wuwuwu, Senior Sister, Luo Luo, Qiusuo, Senior Brother Pei, Cai Qing..." He recited a long string of names, "You are finally here, wuwuwuwu, I am so tired!!"
Although the scene was tragic and Bai Lu looked pitiful, everyone couldn't help but smile and feel distressed when they saw Bai Lu crying out in pain.
Bai Lu screamed loudly, but one could tell that he was really suffering.
Admiral Jiang looked at Bai Lu blankly...
When defending the city earlier, Bai Xianren had always been very calm and determined. He was ruthless when attacking ghosts and monsters, and occasionally used dogs to block the enemies. He was at ease.
As a result, as soon as his fellow disciples arrived, Immortal Bai started to complain, leaving Commander Jiang a little at a loss!
Bai Lu called out a few times and noticed the look in General Jiang's eyes. She immediately thought of the image of a wise and brave man that she had just created. This was not good.
Bai Lu quickly shook off Qiusuo's hand and held on with shaking hands to hand the talisman that Commander Jiang had just drawn, saying, "Commander Jiang, please take everyone to rest. I'll leave this to my classmates."
"...Yes! Thank you all, immortals." Lieutenant General Jiang led the defenders on the city wall to retreat into the city.
As soon as Admiral Jiang left, Bai Lu continued to wail, "All the materials I've been saving for a long time are now used up. Even the materials I took from Luo Luo with great difficulty are used up—"
Luo Luo: “…”
Luo Luo's mouth twitched, and he patted Bai Lu with his wing tip: "I'll give you some more."
"Really?" Bai Lu looked around pitifully.
Pei Zhaoting immediately said: "Tell me what you used, and I will make it up to Brother Bai."
The others scratched their heads and said, "Don't be sad, I'll give Brother Bai some too..."
Liang Mangu even hugged Bai Lu and said, "Brother Bai, your business is so big now, what are you afraid of? Okay, okay."
"Yeah, I'm mainly tired." Bai Lu took the juice handed to her by Qiusuo with peace of mind. It was great to be able to drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice after being tired. Qiusuo was really smart.
"Okay, you should have a good rest now." Ning Yanhu glanced at the battlefield. Although ghosts and monsters were still appearing, "Other sects should have known about the changes in Jintingzhou and will rush here."
"By the way, how did you discover Jintingzhou's conspiracy? Who was the leader?" Liang Mangu and most of the classmates were actually quite confused. They also hurried over, having only heard that some demon cultivators were invading. "Aren't you ordered to take in Patriarch Keyun?"
"When we were guiding the old ancestor Ke Yun, we discovered the outpost of the demon cultivators. Then my master and I came here to investigate and saw that these ghosts were already attacking the city, and the demon cultivators were hiding in the back." Bai Lu wanted to curse the demon lord opposite, but she was afraid that it would affect her, and she couldn't remember the name of Yan Changming's father...
Bai Lu was very tired, so he sat down. A fellow apprentice behind him helped to massage his shoulders, and two others rubbed his hands. I felt really sorry for Brother Bai, his hands were all red.
"Yes, where is the ancestor?" Ding Douhua asked curiously, "Have you found him?"
There is no sign of the baby anywhere. Could it be that the women and children in the city have been asked to help take care of him?
The disciples of their class have never seen an elder of the level of the Grand Elder. Even though he has been reincarnated, they would like to take the opportunity to open their eyes and wonder what he is like.
Liang Mangu was ready to perform the ceremony.
Lian Ning Yanhu was also very curious, "Yes, where is the ancestor?"
Oh, talking about this.
Everyone saw Bai Lu lifting up his cloak and taking out a local dog wearing Yuyan soft armor from his arms. There was fighting going on outside, but the local dog was still sleeping soundly.
Bai Lu poked Wangcai's mouth with her finger and said, "Look, the ancestor you wanted has fallen asleep again."
There is no way, dogs really need to sleep for a long time a day. When Wangcai Laozu was pushed, he covered his mouth with his front paws, and his feet were lifted up in a relaxed manner, revealing his bulging belly.
Everyone: “……!”
