Today, all the Taoists, Buddhists, and demons have joined forces and are almost scattered throughout the country, with the aim of monitoring the actions of the Heaven and Earth Church members and thwarting their plans.
Because we are too passive, we can only adopt control and blocking methods.
They also laid ambushes in advance at several locations where the Ghost Gate might appear, in order to catch the Heaven and Earth Church off guard.
This time, we are conducting surveillance in Shanghai. Chairman Fang is stationed in Shanghai and the surrounding Central Plains, while the advisor has gone to Tibet to guard the northwest.
President Zhang Daocheng is in charge of the northeast direction, while the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is sent to Fujian to guard the southeast direction, and the head of Maoshan is sent to the border of Xinjiang to guard the southwest direction.
Although it is said to be a garrison, if it were to encounter a being like the drought demon alone, it would probably be powerless to subdue it. At that time, it will provide reinforcements as needed.
This is all that can be done right now.
I followed Chairman Fang and the others to the location in the vicinity where the Ghost Gate was most likely to appear.
It is important to know that on the day of the Ghost Festival, the yin energy is exceptionally strong, the gates of hell are wide open, and multiple gates of hell may appear at the same time in one location.
The most likely place for the ghost gate to appear is the City God Temple, which is where we came to wait.
Because the City God Temple is usually overcrowded during the day, the higher authorities issued a temporary notice that anyone loitering near the City God Temple should be strictly prohibited from doing so in the next few days. Anyone found loitering will be treated as a criminal suspect.
Without employing appropriate deterrent measures, the average busybody in today's world will not understand the importance of this matter.
As expected, once the news was released, the area around the City God Temple was deserted, with almost no one in sight. After all, getting arrested would be a huge loss.
At the same time, this also reduces the pressure on us to evacuate the public. If members of the Heaven and Earth Church really infiltrate among the tourists or threaten their lives, we will be overwhelmed.
We have set up a formation around the City God Temple. If we sense the presence of evil spirits or if we sense someone breaking the formation, we will be able to detect it immediately.
Time ticked by, and everyone was extra cautious, afraid of letting even a fly in.
I don't know why, but after the injury, I felt that my body became stronger, and I had an indescribable feeling of exhilaration, like my meridians had been opened up.
But it can't really be like in martial arts novels, where you instantly become invincible; that's unrealistic.
However, there was a really refreshing feeling, which might be psychological, but I felt that I had become more agile than before.
My master's alchemy skills are absolutely top-notch. In fact, on the tenth day after I was admitted to the ward, I already felt that my body was in good condition.
However, at that time, my master and mistress strongly prevented me from being discharged from the hospital, so I had to stay in bed for half a month.
Before this operation, my master also cast a divination for everyone. As a result, my master only said that the divination result was a fog. Trying to forcibly determine cause and effect would inevitably result in extremely serious consequences and would make the development of things uncontrollable.
Once the outcome is decided, there is no possibility of changing it.
If it's a good ending, people might be able to accept it, but if it's a bad ending, the price they pay is something they can't afford.
Therefore, in this operation, we can only adapt to the situation and leave life and death to fate!
As darkness fell, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The opponent we were facing this time was too powerful. Even if we risked the lives of so many people, we might not be able to stop them.
I could gradually feel the yin energy around me becoming stronger, and through my yin-yang eyes, the surrounding environment became even darker.
I swallowed hard, my lips feeling a little dry, and looked around at the changing yin energy.
"Oh no, the formation has been broken!" Master shouted to everyone as he saw the red rope in his hand snap.
Everyone quickly got up and split into two groups, each running towards a different location.
Upon arriving at the side wall of the City God Temple, one sees a dozen or so men in black robes, accompanied by eight red-haired zombies, and followed by dozens of fierce ghosts.
Among these vengeful ghosts, many are the legendary red-clothed ghosts. However, judging from the wounds on their bodies, they do not seem to have committed suicide, but rather were tortured to death by others.
When the men in black robes saw the crowd closing in on them, they jumped over the wall without saying a word and slipped into the City God Temple.
The red-haired zombies he brought rushed towards the group.
It has to be said that the Heaven and Earth Church really went all out. So many red-haired zombies and vengeful ghosts, and this is just one City God Temple. What about the other places?
However, these zombies were no threat to the group at all. It was the vengeful ghost that posed the real threat. There were only about twenty of us on our side, all of whom were Taoist disciples who had survived the massacre of the association while on an overseas mission.
Everyone rushed forward, but not everyone had experience dealing with the red-haired zombie. One disciple was pinned to the ground and bitten on the neck by the red-haired zombie as soon as he went up.
Chairman Fang frowned slightly upon seeing how troublesome the numerous vengeful ghosts were:
"Master Jiang, Master Ma, Qianxue, Xiaoxi, you guys go after those people inside. Master Li and I will hold them off here. Once we've dealt with this, we'll go in and help you!"
Upon receiving the order, the four of us flipped over and leaped directly into the City God Temple.
The weather was gloomy, and the City God Temple was very quiet. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that more than a dozen people in black robes had just entered.
"Be careful," Master Jiang warned the group.
