Chapter 323 The Imperial Capital is Attacked
Since Jun Yi was able to communicate with his soul, he would meet with Ye Luo once a day. Sometimes, when he was too busy to meet, he would use the little azure dragon to chat with him for a while, talking about the situation in the upper realm and so on.
Although the two weren't always together, with Jun Yi by her side, Ye Luo was at least not as bored as before.
That concludes the discussion.
He seemed to understand Qi Jun somewhat.
Because he was also afraid of loneliness. If one could truly have an infinite lifespan after cultivation, wouldn't the long nights be endless torment for a person?
The next day, early morning.
Ye Luo was awakened from his deep sleep by the order. He gently comforted his daughter, quickly tidied up, and rushed to the council hall.
Then they discovered that the eldest brother and the third sister were all there, and they all looked somber, as if something major had happened.
"Master, what happened?"
Ming Cang beckoned to Ye Luo, "Sit down first."
"Yes," Ye Luo replied, sitting down beside Cen Feng.
Ming Cang said with a solemn expression, "I just received a summons from the Immortal Alliance. Towns and cities of all sizes in the Eastern Region have been attacked by evil cultivators. Now each sect needs to send people to investigate the situation."
"An evil cultivator?" Ye Luo frowned slightly, a guess forming in his mind. "Could it be the Soul Guide causing trouble?"
Ming Cang said, "We don't know the specifics yet, but judging from this formation, there should be quite a few evil cultivators from the Southern Region involved. We need to investigate and report back to the Immortal Alliance before we can get a final conclusion."
Upon hearing "Southern Region," Cen Feng's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he gripped his teacup tightly.
Ming Cang said, "The current idea of the Immortal Alliance is that each sect should send at least two people. If needed later, more people can be sent."
“Master, let me go.” Cen Feng said at this moment, “I… I don’t have anything to do in the sect anyway.”
Ming Cang hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. “It is said that none of the people sent by the Immortal Alliance to investigate have returned. I’m afraid things inside are not so simple. So I’ve decided to send your eldest brother and third sister first. That would be safer.”
"If more manpower is needed later, Xiaofeng, it's not too late for you to go."
Cen Feng said, "Alright..."
Ming Cang asked, "Xiao Yin, Qian Ling, is there a problem with you going?"
Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling shook their heads. Ming Cang stood up and handed them some pills, instructing them, "Take these emergency pills with you and keep them handy."
"Thank you, Master!" Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling bowed and said, "Then, Master, we will set off immediately."
"Okay!"
The group saw the two out of the hall. Ming Cang and the elders went to attend to other matters, while Cen Feng stood in front of the hall looking preoccupied.
Ye Luo was a clever and quick-witted person, so she could guess some of the clues. She comforted him, saying, "Fifth Senior Brother, it might not be him who did it."
Cen Feng's face froze for a moment. "But even so, he is the Evil Lord of the Southern Region... I'm afraid he can't escape blame, can he?"
Ye Luo looked at him without saying anything more. He didn't have a deep relationship with that evil lord, so he wasn't sure if this matter was related to him. So he patted him on the shoulder and left.
Ye Luo originally thought the matter wasn't that important, but he was awakened by Cen Feng's voice in the middle of the night and realized how serious the matter was.
Ye Luo hurriedly put on an outer robe and went out, only to see Cen Feng standing outside with a worried expression. "My father and mother have been in trouble!"
How did you find out?
Cen Feng took out a soul tablet and said urgently, "This soul tablet was just crushed. I have to rush to the Qi Kingdom Palace now. Please tell my master for me later!"
"Wait!" Ye Luo thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go with you."
Cen Feng said, "No! Your current situation is special, and Master won't let you leave the sect."
Ye Luo said, "Stop talking nonsense. This matter is urgent. It will take several days for you to get back, and by then it will be too late. When I went to the palace with you to celebrate the birthday last time, Jun Yi and I were careful and marked a teleportation point. I will use the teleportation array to take you there."
"Really?!" Upon hearing that teleportation was possible, Cen Feng naturally didn't refuse anymore.
Ling Qing, who was guarding the side, naturally heard their conversation clearly. He stepped forward and said solemnly, "Young Master, let your subordinates go along as well."
"You..." Ye Luo frowned and pondered for a moment. Since they didn't know the situation in the Qi Kingdom's palace, having more manpower would be better. So he nodded and instructed, "Yes, you take half of the people and come with me. The rest of you stay in the cave to protect Xi Xi and the others."
Ling Qing: "Yes! I will arrange it immediately."
Ye Luo set up a teleportation array outside the cave. At this moment, Ye Xi, who was awakened by the noise, rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out. "Daddy... it's so noisy."
After she saw the situation clearly, she stepped forward and asked, "Father, what are you doing?"
After setting up the teleportation array, Ye Luo pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Xi Xi, your father has to go out on business. You stay here and take good care of your younger siblings. Later, go and tell your master to stay in the sect and keep watch. Be careful not to be lured away from the sect."
Ye Luo knew his master's temperament and was afraid he would go with him out of concern. If he also left the sect, it would be terrible if someone took advantage of the situation.
Ye Xi nodded solemnly, "Yes, Xi Xi understands!"
“If your master doesn’t listen to you…” Ye Luo frowned and thought for a moment, then took out a jade slip and threw it over. “Give this to him and let him go to the sect to take a look.”
"Okay. Got it!"
Suddenly, the magic array activated, and a dazzling light pierced the night sky. Then, Ye Luo and the others disappeared without a trace.
...
Qi Kingdom, within the imperial capital.
A massive crimson magic circle was now shrouding the sky, and the streets were littered with corpses and blazing with fire, resembling a living hell.
One by one, the souls of the murdered people suddenly left their bodies and were sucked into that strange magic circle.
Several cultivators who had fled the city, still shaken, hid in a street corner. Looking at the horrific scene of the massacre in the distance, they stammered, "It was evil cultivators!"
"Impossible... This imperial capital is governed by the laws of the Great Dao, how did they get in!"
"Naturally, we broke through it, hahaha." At this moment, an arrogant voice rang out, and everyone was shocked and looked up. They saw several Nascent Soul stage evil cultivators standing in the air, looking down at them with disdain.
Watching the group of people run away tremblingly, the black-clad evil cultivators laughed loudly, "Today we're massacring the city, and none of you will escape!"
"Kill them all quickly, don't delay things." A cold female voice came, it was the soul guide possessing Xiao Huan, "I'll leave this place to you, I'm going to the palace to do some killing first."
Shitian thought to himself, "Go ahead, leave this to us."
...
Inside the palace, chaos reigned. Palace maids and eunuchs huddled in corners, watching the carnage outside in terror.
No, that wasn't a battle, but a one-sided massacre by the evil cultivators.
In the presence of cultivators, mortals are like ants, utterly powerless to fight back.
As the Imperial Guards fell one by one, Emperor Qi's majestic face was filled with rage. "You are cultivators! How dare you slaughter mortals at will? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution that will ruin your cultivation?"
"Ha, mortal emperor, we are heretical cultivators, we don't play those empty games with the Immortal Alliance!"
"Exactly, that trick doesn't work on us, hahaha!"
"I've heard that the Emperor is a descendant of the Purple Star. I wonder if his soul will be refined differently from others." The leader of the black-clad evil cultivators said, a chilling killing intent appearing on his face. He suddenly flicked his sleeve, sending out several blades that flew straight towards Emperor Qi.
Just at the critical moment, a powerful force shattered the blade's edge, followed by an overwhelming force that sent them flying.
The group rolled on the ground a few times before suddenly raising their heads and recognizing the newcomer. They were instantly terrified, their faces turning deathly pale, and they stammered, "Lord Evil... Lord Evil..."
