"Gurgle," unexpectedly, after visiting countless inns, the group was turned away each time, and Sanlang's stomach also rumbled loudly.
"Oh, belly, don't blame me. I was just a little foolish! One fox has ruined our lives and we have no food to eat!" Three Wolves said, rubbing his belly as he walked.
"You talk too much, are you feeling relaxed now?" Ru Huan rolled her eyes at San Lang.
"Master, if this continues, we will really starve to death!" Sanlang ignored his junior sister and looked at the old man.
"Are you hungry?" the old man asked, looking at the three wolves.
"Hmm," Sanlang said, pouting.
"Alas... poor Three Wolves, they must be truly starving. Ru Huan, give them another 1,000 jin of grain!" The old man said, looking at Three Wolves with pity.
"Alright, Master!" Ru Huan excitedly pulled two bluish-gray stones from her cloth bag and forcefully shoved them into San Lang's luggage. San Lang trembled and almost collapsed to the ground. Unexpectedly, Bai Hu also took advantage of the situation, leaping off the donkey and standing on top of the luggage.
"You damned fox, one day I'll catch you, pluck all your fur, make you lose all face as a fox, and make your life a laughingstock..." Three Wolves gritted their teeth.
Just as everyone was playing around, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. The two leading soldiers were on horseback, and the old man quickly pulled his donkey to make way for them.
"Halt!" Just as Ru Huan and her group were about to pass by the soldiers, the two leaders suddenly shouted.
"We're doomed!" Three Wolves sighed, looking at the soldiers who had surrounded them. What was bound to happen would happen eventually; hiding wasn't an option. They had to prepare for battle.
"Where are you headed?" asked the leading soldier.
"Let's find a place to eat," the old man replied.
"Look at you guys, you must have been turned away countless times when you went to eat, right?" the soldier leader asked with a smile.
"That's right, if it weren't for this fox, we wouldn't be wandering around this street like lost ghosts. If we wait any longer, I'll be starving to death," Three Wolves muttered resentfully.
“I can take you somewhere to eat, but we need to borrow some of your things,” the soldier leader said.
"Borrow what? A head?" Sanlang thought to himself, already prepared to fight at the slightest provocation! He was going to vent all the resentment in his stomach!
"We are penniless, what do you need to borrow, sir?" the old man asked calmly.
"Can you catch ghosts?" Bingtou asked.
"I know a little bit," the old man replied.
"Alright, you guys come with us. If things go well, I'll try my best to satisfy your cravings for whatever you want to eat," the soldier leader said happily.
"Yunzhi, isn't this a bit much? They have one..." His companion advised the soldier, pointing to the white fox.
"It's alright, it's just a fox. I'm sure they'll handle it," said the soldier named Yunzhi.
Ru Huan and her companions were sandwiched between a group of soldiers until they reached a courtyard before stopping. Then, another companion stayed behind and sent all the soldiers to patrol the city.
"Such heavy resentment!" Ru Huan said with a frown the moment Yun Zhi opened the courtyard gate.
"I didn't realize you were all experts," Yunzhi felt much more at ease. It seemed this group didn't seem like a bunch of swindlers; these people were more reliable.
The group followed Yunzhi into the courtyard. The entire courtyard was deathly still, and ordinary people would feel very depressed and uncomfortable inside.
"This is the new courtyard I bought. I was just promoted to squad leader, and I have a lot of kids at home. The old courtyard couldn't accommodate everyone, so I bought this one. But I didn't expect to be scammed. It's not peaceful at all here. Several times, it scared my parents, wife, and kids half to death. I see you're all new here, so you probably haven't found a place to stay yet. I'll let you stay here temporarily, and I'll arrange your food!" Yunzhi didn't care whether the old man and the others agreed or not, and then he and his companions went to the street to buy things for the old man and the others...
"Yunzhi, I feel like these people are weird, but I haven't noticed that they can catch ghosts. How did you find out?" his companion asked curiously.
"Hehe, if it weren't for that little girl carrying that black umbrella, I wouldn't be sure if you knew what that kind of black umbrella was called," Yun asked his companion.
"I don't know," his companion replied, not believing in ghosts or spirits at all, so he hadn't paid any attention.
"This kind of black umbrella is called a Soul-Capturing Umbrella. It can capture ghosts and monsters, or even impersonate them. If you see one in the future, be very careful. It's best not to provoke them, because provoking these people will cause a lot of trouble," Yun Zhi said.
"Is it that powerful? Then I'll go back and snatch that little girl's black umbrella to examine it, and then open it to see if there really are demons or monsters trapped inside," his companion said dismissively.
“I advise you not to. These people don’t seem like a bunch of charlatans who cheat people out of food, drink, and money. If they hold a grudge against you, you’ll be in for a world of trouble,” Yunzhi said.
"Heh heh, we've both crawled out of piles of corpses. Even evil spirits would run away when they see us. Why would I be afraid of two little brats and a lousy old man?" His companion was very unconvinced.
Yun Zhi just smiled and didn't say anything more. Then the two of them returned to the courtyard with all sorts of food.
"Yunzhi, have you found another expert? Those people are all swindlers. Don't believe them anymore. If it really doesn't work out, just give up this courtyard. All this fuss is a waste of money and resources!" An old man advised, looking at Yunzhi and his companion carrying food boxes.
“Master Li, we are not wealthy sirs like you. We are just city guards, and our monthly salary is not even as high as that of your family’s guards. This courtyard has already exhausted all my savings. So no matter what, even if there are demons and monsters in this courtyard, I will still live here. Thank you for your concern!” Yun Zhi said to the old man.
“Sigh, I’m only doing this for your own good. Think about it, this courtyard is so fierce. I heard it almost scared your family to death. Money can be earned slowly as long as you’re alive. But if you lose your life and your family, isn’t it a bit of a waste to do this for a courtyard?” Master Li was still trying to persuade Yunzhi.
"Are you threatening Yunzhi?" His companion squinted at Master Li, as if trying to see through this seemingly kind-hearted man!
"Oh dear, you little sir, you're being irresponsible with your words. I was only doing this for Yunzhi's sake, how come you're starting to doubt me? Really, alright, alright, I won't say anymore, lest you suspect I'm behind this. You're ungrateful for my good intentions, really!" After saying this, Master Li angrily flicked his sleeves and stormed off...
"Alright, you've eaten and drunk your fill now. We two are going out to patrol now. We'll bring you more food tonight. I hope you can find out the trouble in this courtyard soon, and then I won't treat you badly!" After Yunzhi finished speaking, he cleaned up the remaining leftovers and left the courtyard with his companions.
With a loud "bang!", the gate was slammed shut and locked from the outside, leaving Ru Huan and her group in the courtyard looking at each other, unsure of what to say. If they wanted to leave, could a mere lock really hold them back? It felt ridiculous.
“We should have figured things out by now. Should we tell this soldier named Yunzhi that someone has tampered with his yard?” Sanlang asked.
"What's the rush? Let me tell you first. Besides, this soldier doesn't trust us at all. We have no evidence right now. Even if we tell him, he might not believe us. And even if he does believe us, what if he rushes off to argue with him? That would be alerting the enemy and would be a loss. Hmm, the food he brought today was really delicious. The food in the big city is just different. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what he'll bring over tonight. I'm so looking forward to it!" The old man smacked his lips, looking like he was savoring the meal.
"Master, can you please maintain your dignified and otherworldly demeanor? When I watch you eat, even ten dogs that have been starving for seven or eight days couldn't beat you in a fight!" Sanlang said with a look of disgust.
"You little brat! I'm older than you, so I eat more. Don't you know how to be considerate? You even argue with me, and when you can't win, you talk to me like that. Do you want a beating? Ruhuan, loosen his muscles!" The old man glared at Sanlang, preparing to have his female disciple teach this rebellious disciple a lesson.
“Master, Junior Brother is right! Look, you ate most of all this food by yourself, while Junior Brother and I barely ate any,” Ru Huan said, pouting.
"Brother Yun, aren't you afraid they'll escape? There's only a two-person-high wall in your yard; these martial artists could easily somersault over it," his companion said.
"So what if they ran away? Can they escape from this Heartless City?" Yun Zhi said nonchalantly.
"If these people actually help catch the culprit who's been causing trouble in your yard, would you let them go?"
"Leave? These people have entered Wuxin City, and they're even swaggering around the streets with a fox around without being taken in for questioning. We can't bear that responsibility, can we? Besides, didn't you feel a flutter in your heart when you first saw that little girl?" Yun Zhi smiled mysteriously.
"Huh? Really? These martial arts practitioners are too arrogant! They don't take us city guards seriously at all. They should be thrown into jail and let the city lord deal with them!" The companion was clearly stunned for a moment after hearing Yunzhi's words before speaking.
"Hey! Are you guys here to catch ghosts in this courtyard?" Just as everyone was getting bored and about to doze off, a head suddenly peeked out from the wall next door and looked at Ru Huan and the others with some curiosity.
“Old man, at your age, you’re still trying to climb walls. Aren’t you afraid of falling down?” said the old man, Sanlang.
"Hehe, how could that be? I am... Hey hey hey... Why are you guys swaying down there? Stand still, don't fall and hurt me!" The old man was about to praise himself when a sudden sway startled him so much that he clung to the wall with both hands, too scared to move!
"Hahaha... See, see, I told you so!" Three Wolves laughed heartily when they saw this.
"You'd better leave here quickly, this is not a place for you. This soldier leader named Yunzhi is no good. You won't have a good end if you stay with him! Good heavens! You even brought a fox with you! Now you're even more doomed! My goodness, this white fox is so beautiful, can I touch it?" The old man was perched on the wall, his eyes shining as he looked at the white fox. The white fox gave the old man a disdainful look, which almost melted the old man's heart.
"We didn't kill anyone or commit any crimes. We were just catching ghosts and looking at feng shui. Why would he want to harm us?" The old man said calmly.
"You don't know, do you? He invited countless ghost hunters to this courtyard, and in the end, not a single one of them left this courtyard alive!"
"Are the ghosts in this courtyard that powerful? So many sorcerers couldn't handle them?" Sanlang said, pursing his lips.
"Little one, there are actually some people in this world who are more terrifying than ghosts!" the old man said meaningfully.
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this. We're already here, and we've already accepted their gifts. We're bound to be indebted to them. We have no choice but to meet this devil tonight, or we won't be able to survive in the martial world." The old man said with a calm and collected expression.
"Sigh... good words can't persuade those damned devils! I've tried my best to advise you, you'd better watch yourselves! It's just a pity for these two little children," the old man said, then carefully and cautiously slid down the wall...
"What do you think?" the old man asked his two apprentices.
"How can I watch? I'll sit here and watch!" Sanlang said irritably.
"Me? I don't want to watch. You two can watch it yourselves!" Ru Huan was even more direct.
As the blood-red twilight of the setting sun bathed the City of Heartlessness, it seemed as if the city was shrouded in a hazy, bloody mist...
"This scene is not a good omen..." The city lord of Wuxin City muttered to himself as he stood atop the tallest building in Wuxin City—the Zhaixin Tower.
"Is it because of that white fox that came today? Is it the cause of this ominous sign?" asked a lieutenant standing nearby.
"I don't know, but I feel that if this white fox hadn't entered the city, the color of the setting sun would have been even more intense," the city lord of Wuxin City said, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.
"W-wh-wh... how could it be so fast? Could it be that something has come and threatened it, causing it to speed up? Oh no, I wasn't prepared at all, what should I do now?" Master Li, who lived next door to Yunzhi, was also quite frightened as he watched the sunset this evening. He was like an ant on a hot pan, jumping around in panic.
"Hmm? Interesting. Hehe, it seems we're about to become the target of everyone's criticism!" The old man chuckled.
Immediately afterward, the sound of a door opening rang out, and Yunzhi and his companions returned, carrying a great deal of food. They placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, took it out one by one, and watched as the three wolves and the others wolfed it down, scrambling for chicken legs and pig's trotters...
"This is it! Yes! This is it! Yunzhi, quickly hand over the fox demon you've been hiding! We can skip going to the city lord's mansion, as long as you hand it over, we can beg the city lord to show leniency and not punish you for harboring the fox demon. Don't ruin your future!" The crowd outside was in an uproar, their emotions running high, as if they might break down the door at any moment if Yunzhi didn't open it!
Yunzhi and his companions exchanged a glance, then looked at the three people and a fox who were completely ignoring the crowd outside and continuing to eat and drink heartily.
"This is your home. Don't look at us. Even if you do, we won't open the door," the old man said, snatching a pig's trotter back from Sanlang's hand and gnawing on it.
Yunzhi had no choice but to open the door. Outside, a crowd of people thronged, and the bright torches emitted a strong scent of pine resin.
"Little girl, come and fill my wine cup." Yunzhi's companion saw Yunzhi go to open the door and asked Ruhuan to pour him a drink.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a beautiful young lady." Yunzhi's companion grabbed Ruhuan's hand as she poured the wine, while stroking her hand holding the wine pot with his other hand.
"You fucking bastard, get your pig's trotters off me! Or I'll kill you, you believe me?" Three Wolves jumped up and kicked the soldier in the chest!
The soldier blocked the three wolves' kick with one palm, but still stumbled back a few steps, then calmly dusted himself off.
"The little kid's kicks are pretty strong! I'm not playing with you guys anymore. I'm going to see what Yunzhi is up to. He still hasn't driven these people away. Are we still going to catch ghosts tonight?" Yunzhi's companion said, and then left.
Ru Huan gave the old man a piece of cloth with only two words on it: "Be careful!" Judging from the appearance of the cloth, it must have been torn from her own clothes.
"What do you mean?" Sanlang was completely confused and had no idea what to do.
"Sigh... it seems this Heartless City is not peaceful!" After the old man finished speaking, he clutched the tuft of cloth in his hand, and the cloth turned into powder, which scattered on the ground...
"Listen to me, everyone," Yunzhi said to the people at the door. "These are the sorcerers I invited to exorcise the ghost. They didn't bring a fox with them, but a dog, a dog that looks somewhat like a fox."
"Heh heh, Yunzhi, are you kidding me? Or are all of us blind? Dog? I've been a hunter for decades, do you think I can't tell the difference between a fox and a dog?" a man sneered.
"Hey, if it's a fox or a dog, just pull it out and let it bark a couple of times, then we'll know!" someone in the crowd suggested.
“Yes, if you pull it out and let it bark a couple of times, we’ll be completely convinced!” the old hunter said.
"Alright, you guys wait here. Keep an eye on them and don't let them into the yard!" Yunzhi instructed his companions, then went to the old man and the others.
"Can you bark like a dog?" Yun asked, looking at the white fox.
The white fox completely ignored Yunzhi, and was busy devouring a chicken with its two paws.
"I'm asking you if you can bark like a dog?" Yun Zhi slammed his hand hard on the stone table, glaring at the white fox.
“You’re asking too much of a fool. We met this white fox on the way. It’s always lived deep in the mountains and forests. When has it ever seen a dog? Why don’t you imitate its calls a couple of times? It might learn it right away,” Sanlang said to Yunzhi.
Yunzhi was somewhat skeptical. He looked at Ruhuan and the old man, then at the white fox. The white fox ignored him and continued to devour a chicken.
"Woof woof woof..." Yunzhi imitated a dog's bark a few times.
"Pfft..." Ru Huan was the first to lose her temper, and all the water she had just drunk sprayed out.
Immediately following was the old man and Sanlang, who both wanted to laugh but couldn't, and were struggling to hold it in.
"Heh heh, you're messing with me, aren't you? Is it fun? If you want to play like this, I'll let these people in, let them send you to jail, and then behead you and display your head to the public! Do you think that's more fun?" Yun Zhi's originally very handsome face became twisted and ferocious.
"Alright, let them in. We'll wait for them here!" The old man looked at Yunzhi and said indifferently.
"Hmph! You just wait!" Yun Zhi snorted coldly, then walked back towards the door.
"Where's the fox? Didn't you say you were going to bring out the fox?" The old hunter looked at Yunzhi with a mocking expression, as if to say, "I knew it was a fox, why are you pretending?"
“Our Fox Spirit said that you mortals can’t just see her whenever you want; it’s all about fate. I just don’t know if any of you are destined to meet her,” Yun Zhi said directly.
"Hmph! Then get it out so we can capture them and take them directly to the city lord's mansion for him to deal with!" the old hunter said.
"Sure, aren't you an experienced hunter? Then go in and catch them. I don't have the ability or the guts," Yun Zhi shrugged, looking helpless.
"Old hunter, just go in. You get the credit, we won't fight you for it," someone in the crowd jeered.
"This..." The old hunter hesitated.
Go in by yourself? Are you kidding me? This is a white fox! Even if Yunzhi, the soldier leader, doesn't help the white fox, there are still several of its accomplices inside. Wouldn't it be like a lamb entering a tiger's den if I went in alone?
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to capture the white fox to see the city lord? I'll make way for you, you can go in yourselves, each according to your own ability, no cheating!" Yun Zhi opened the door wide and stood by the door with his companions, looking like he was inviting them into a trap.
The crowd, who had been clamoring to go in and capture the fox demon, suddenly fell silent.
The two sides remained deadlocked for nearly half an hour. Yun Zhi, with a gloomy face, slammed the door shut and then walked up to the old man and the others with a livid face.
"Gentlemen, you've eaten and drunk your fill. Now it's time for you to get down to business, isn't it?" Yun Zhi leaned down and looked at the old man, his hands resting on the stone table.
"I don't need to get involved in this at all; the two of them can handle it!" the old man waved his hand.
"He eats so much and doesn't do any work, he's really my good master!" Sanlang complained, then took out a wooden bird from his body and threw it into the sky. The wooden bird flew into the sky and began to circle in Yunzhi's courtyard.
Ru Huan also took out two palm-sized wooden figures made of wooden sticks pieced together from her cloth bag and placed them on the stone table.
After circling a few times in the sky, the wooden birds flew straight towards the inner hall of the courtyard in pairs!
When Yunzhi saw the wooden bird fly into the inner hall, a strange smile appeared on his face!
Ru Huan drew talismans on the two wooden figures, and the two figures actually stood up, waved to Ru Huan, jumped off a stone table more than a meter high, and then walked into the inner hall...
"Tsk tsk tsk, your methods are much more sophisticated than those jugglers," Yunzhi's companions exclaimed in amazement as they looked at Sanlang and Ruhuan's wooden bird and wooden figure.
Just then, the wooden bird suddenly let out a screech in the inner hall, followed by a series of loud crashes. Sanlang's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure.
The two wooden figures, which had been moving slowly, suddenly transformed into two blurry figures and rushed into the inner hall upon hearing the noise inside!
The ground of the entire courtyard began to tremble slightly with a buzzing sound, and the tableware that was still on the stone table began to move slowly, making a clattering sound!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" A furious roar came from inside the inner hall, and then the entire inner hall began to shake violently before collapsing with a crash!
"My God, what is this thing?" Yunzhi's companion stared in astonishment at the giant creature that appeared after the inner hall collapsed.
"It seems you guys are quite formidable. You even managed to force out my true form. Unlike those bastards before, who didn't possess a single trace of Dao Qi and were just charlatans!" After saying this, Yun Zhi transformed into a stream of light and arrived on the giant creature's head. Then, he began to merge with it, slowly transforming into Yun Zhi's appearance.
"One is at the ninth level of the Yellow Rank, it seems he'll break through to the Earth Rank soon, hehe, looks very appetizing. The other is at the seventh level of the Earth Rank, not bad, not bad. Don't worry, I won't eat you, I want you as my cauldron, hehehe. As for you, old man, I can't see through you, but I have a way to deal with you. You are all our food, and this thousand-year-old white fox too, hehehe. Seeing the Dao Qi flowing in your bodies, my heart can't calm down. Come on, obediently accept your death! Let me enjoy the pure Dao Qi in your bodies!" After Yun Zhi finished speaking, he leaped and pounced directly on the weakest of the three wolves!
Three Wolves tried to lift the heavy stone table to block Yun Zhi, but before Yun Zhi arrived, the stone table was shattered into powder by Yun Zhi's Daoist energy! Yun Zhi grinned maliciously and grabbed at Three Wolves' head. If this grab landed, Three Wolves' head would be smashed open!
"Three Wolves, retreat!" Ru Huan shouted, throwing countless heavy stones at Yun Zhi! Yun Zhi thought these heavy stones were about the same size as his family's stone table, and he could withstand them head-on. Unexpectedly, all the heavy stones hit Yun Zhi, giving Three Wolves a brief moment to catch their breath and dodge Yun Zhi's attack!
"Don't cause trouble. After I clean all this up, I'll take good care of you. Don't be in a hurry now, hahaha... If you still consider me your brother, help me hold off this little girl. In the future, you and I will become ancestors together in this world!" Yun Zhi said to his companion, then locked his gaze on the three wolves once more. This time, he was determined to get his hands on this little thing!
"Oh my god, a fight has broken out! A fight has broken out! What should we do now? I wasn't prepared at all, how did a fight start? I have to hurry, or everyone in Heartless City will die!" The old man next door was now pacing around his yard like his pants were on fire, carrying all sorts of things...
"Yunzhi, stop! You'll only bring about your own destruction!" Yunzhi's companion advised him.
"Stop? Impossible! I'm going to wipe out this hypocritical world and rebuild a fair, just, and orderly one!" Yun Zhi roared at his companions.
With a loud "Bang!", just as Yun Zhi charged towards the Three Wolves once again, the old man teleported in front of the Three Wolves and took the blow from Yun Zhi's palm!
In an instant, a fierce wind raged! Gale-force winds swept across the land! The entire courtyard was destroyed, and no courtyard within a ten-mile radius was spared!
Those outside were still discussing how to capture the fox demon inside and bring it to the city lord's mansion for punishment, but little did they know that a fight had already broken out inside!
Before these people could even react, they were instantly annihilated by the violent gale! Not even a trace remained...
The battle continues! The old man and Yunzhi have been fighting for two hours, with neither gaining the upper hand! Ruhuan and Sanlang can only watch helplessly. They have no chance to join this level of fight, and besides, even if they did, they would only be a burden and cause trouble for their master.
"Let's get out of here quickly. Your master can't beat Yunzhi. After he kills your master, you will be killed by him too. Come with me now, I'll take you to a place he can't find!" Yunzhi's companion looked at Ruhuan and Sanlang, and pulled them away, preparing to leave.
However, he was rejected by Ru Huan and San Lang, and then he continued to focus on the battle between his master and Yun Zhi!
"Sigh..." Yunzhi's companion sighed as he watched the two little children refuse to leave with him, and then left the place...
"Old man, not bad, just don't know how long you can last?" Yun Zhi teased the old man while attacking him.
"Hehe, it's just a little bug. I'll play with you. It's been years since I've stretched my muscles. I'll use you as a practice subject," the old man said calmly as he fought against Yun Zhi.
"Old man, listen up, I'm about to unleash my power. You're nothing special after all. You've lived this long, you should be heading to the Netherworld. I'll do you a favor and send you on your way!" After saying this, Yun Zhi's whole body emitted bursts of colorful divine light!
"What exactly are you? How can you have divine light on your body? You didn't come down from above, did you?" The old man was somewhat surprised and felt a little heavy-hearted! If it were a demon or monster from below, he could kill it, but the divine light emanating from this cloud was something he dared not do, even if he could kill it. Killing a god would bring divine retribution!
"What? Scared? Hahaha... then die!" Yun Zhi saw the hesitation in the old man's eyes and began to unleash a storm of attacks on the old man, his divine light emanating from him!
"How could there be a being with divine light in Heartless City? Could it be fake?" The white fox looked at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought, and then transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the clouds!
A snow-white tail, as long as a mountain range, swept fiercely towards Yunzhi! Yunzhi blocked this fatal blow in an instant, and the old man's pressure suddenly eased. Only then did he realize that the white fox had joined the battle!
"Hahaha... Perfect, saves me the trouble of dealing with them one by one later!" Yun Zhi laughed heartily, his divine light shining even brighter.
In the darkness, above Heartless City, Yun Zhi appeared like a divine sun! The old man and the white fox were still fighting against Yun Zhi.
The people below Wuxin City, seeing the dazzling divine light, all knelt down, began to worship, and began to pray for blessings...
"Look at me! I am their god! What are you two now? Two evil spirits trying to kill a god! I can feel the power of their faith. This feeling is amazing! Hahaha... I feel like I can create the world now! Hahaha..." Yun Zhi roared almost maniacally, his divine light growing ever brighter!
"How could this be? I feel that he doesn't have any divine status at all, so why does he have such a strong divine light?" The old man was a little frustrated. As more and more people below knelt down to worship, he and the white fox were almost unable to hold on!
"Oh no, they're almost at their limit! My Divine Communication Array is complete, but why isn't there any reaction at all?" Master Li was puzzled until his guardian, whom he had been serving, looked at him with a chilling expression. Only then did he realize that these people had been bribed by Yun Zhi, and his Divine Communication Array was definitely ineffective!
"How much money did he pay you, and you betrayed me like this?" Master Li asked, pointing at the caregivers.
"He is a god! We are his followers, we don't need any money at all. We want to witness the birth of our great god and then sweep away all the injustices in this world!" The guards were fanatical, and they all drew their weapons, ready to kill Master Li!
"You lunatics! He's not a god, he's just a false god, he doesn't even have a divine title! Don't be fooled by him!" As he ran, Master Li dodged the weapons flying from behind. This Master Li was round and chubby, but he was very agile. For a while, the dozen or so guards really couldn't do anything to him.
"Master, be careful!" A gray mist suddenly appeared behind the old man! From within the mist, a giant praying mantis emerged, its two sharp mantis slithering towards the old man's neck! Ru Huan cried out in fright!
Immediately afterwards, countless demons and monsters appeared in the sky and began to besiege the old man and the white fox. For a time, the old man and the white fox were caught in a fierce battle...
"Lord, what do we do now? Which side should we help?" In Zhaixin Tower, the city lord looked at the dazzling divine sun in the clouds above, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't even seem to hear his deputy's question.
"Legend has it that after Daji dug out the Prime Minister's seven-aperture heart, the Prime Minister hurriedly put on the heart-protecting talisman given to him by Jiang Shanggong, and then went out to find Jiang Shanggong to prolong his life. Along the way, Daji tried her best to kill the Prime Minister, but he dodged her every time."
After the Prime Minister left Chaoge, thinking he was safe, he encountered a peasant woman selling water spinach by the roadside. Little did he know that this peasant woman was Daji in disguise, and the Prime Minister was killed by Daji.
What people don't know is that there was a katydid on Daji's water spinach. The katydid was eating the tender shoots of the water spinach when the Prime Minister picked up the water spinach, and the katydid jumped onto the Prime Minister.
Just as the Prime Minister was about to be killed by Daji, his divine nature suddenly erupted, and the grasshopper also received immense benefits.
To repay a debt of gratitude, this grasshopper recognized Xiangfu as its father, and began to worship and offer sacrifices to Xiangfu. It even built a heartless city at the place where Xiangfu died.
The grasshopper deeply hates foxes because Daji was possessed by a fox, which led her to disregard human life and persecute loyal officials! Therefore, the grasshopper strictly forbids any fox from entering Heartless City…” said the Lord of Heartless City.
"You mean the current Yunzhi is the same grasshopper from before?" the lieutenant asked.
"Hehe... I didn't expect that there are two experts in my Heartless City who can fight to a standstill with Yun Zhi, who possesses divine light. They are not simple!" The city lord replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
"Kill! I don't care if you're a god or anything else now, I'll kill you first!" The old man was enraged, and lightning began to crackle behind him, with rows of lightning surging towards Yun Zhi...
The divine sun of the clouds seemed to float and sink in a turbulent sea of thunder. All the demons and monsters that came to help the clouds were submerged by the sea of thunder and turned to ashes...
Suddenly, a divine arrow shot out from the divine sun of the clouds! In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the old man and shot directly at the old man's forehead!
A sound filled with loneliness and sorrow echoed in the Thunder Ocean. A giant Kun leaped out of the Thunder Ocean, opened its enormous maw, and swallowed the fierce divine arrow that was coming at it!
Immediately following a deafening cry, a giant roc flew out from the divine sun!
