"We are the Quicksand Army, surrender now! Otherwise, you will all be dealt with as if you were part of the Cloud Navy!" Mo Fei suddenly shouted.
The scene didn't even pause.
"They seem to have lost their own consciousness!" Gu Xin suddenly said, then her eyes widened. "They've been poisoned, they've lost their minds, everyone stay alert!"
"Ah!" Suddenly, some Yunhai people sped up and rushed towards a quicksand soldier, taking a bite out of him.
With his movement, the others became much faster.
The Quicksand army has an unwritten rule: they will not kill civilians. As long as you submit and do not participate in the war between the two countries, you will never be enslaved after the war ends. You will still be a civilian, just a civilian of the Quicksand.
Therefore, the Quicksand Army did not kill at first; they all intended to knock them unconscious or subdue them.
Gu Xin thought the same thing, but she found that these people couldn't be knocked unconscious or subdued at all; they seemed to be impervious to pain.
"Big sister, you grab one, I'll take their pulses!" Suddenly, Gu Xin told Gu Hui to subdue one of them.
Gu Hui was stronger than everyone else present and quickly overpowered one of them.
Gu Xin stepped forward and felt the man's pulse.
Then, Gu Hui was asked to change a few more.
"Kill them all!" Gu Xin stopped when they reached the fourth one. She ordered, "Someone go in other directions and tell them that if they encounter anyone like this, kill them all. They can't be saved; their heart meridians are severely damaged."
She guessed correctly; the other three palace gates were in the same situation as theirs, filled with people in waves, dispersing from the center outwards.
At first, all three of them had the same idea: these people were obviously ordinary citizens, and several people had been sacrificed in vain for them. Later, without Gu Xin's people reminding them, they also realized that something was wrong.
"Brother Yuanyuan, let's go to the main hall!" Gu Xin called to Lu Zheng, and together they headed towards the place where King Yunhai used to handle state affairs.
Lu Zheng was very familiar with the Yunhai Royal Palace. He led Gu Xin as they slaughtered the Yunhai people who had lost their minds and were like walking corpses.
“The people of Ganzhen City might have been brought here by them. I’ve never heard of them having something that could make people like this,” Lu Zheng said to Gu Xin on the way.
“I suspect they’ve already escaped. Brother Yuanyuan, we can’t let them get away. Do you know the route they took?” Gu Xin asked.
"North. Xue Er sent men to guard that area, but there's been no movement," Lu Zheng replied. Suddenly, he remembered something. "Xin Xin, do you think King Yunhai might dig a secret passage like King Lang did back then?"
“It’s possible…” Gu Xin nodded.
Before long, the two arrived at the place where King Yunhai handled state affairs. Apart from the common people, neither of the two Yunhai soldiers saw any other people.
At that moment, Xue Qianyu also stormed in.
"Lu Er, Xin Xin, news has come from the north that they saw Yun Hai's army fleeing in that direction!" Xue Qianyu said directly to the two of them without any further words.
"Let's go after them!" Gu Xin was about to head north.
"Wait a minute." Lu Zheng pulled her back and looked at Xue Qianyu. "Are they only alone? Did they bring anything? Also, are Agil and King Yunhai among them?"
"Whether Cloud Sea King and Agil are here or not is uncertain, but they certainly didn't bring anything with them," Xue Qianyu said.
