Chapter 463 Demonic Energy
The big man comforted his wife and children in his arms, but in fact he was also full of fear.
Whether he encountered a ferocious beast or an enemy stronger than him, he was not afraid.
Because those are known dangers, no matter how strong the opponent is, he is not afraid to fight to the death for his family.
But now he couldn't figure out where the enemy was, everything was unknown. It was this unknown that magnified everyone's fear.
Everyone seemed to be strangled by fate, anxiously waiting for the punishment that would befall them at any time.
Because of this emotional torture, many people are on the verge of collapse. The spontaneous combustion of immigrants tonight has pushed this emotion to a peak.
Someone started crying and shouted, "Let's go and kill the dog emperor of Damin. It's the dog emperor who is harming people.
If she hadn't implemented some new policy, none of us would have come to Damin. But now God blames us. So many of us have died, and she's been a coward, not caring about anything."
"Right, right, right. We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well drag someone down with us!"
"Let's go and kill the dog emperor."
…
At first, some people were just shouting to kill Jiang Tangtang.
But gradually, the slogans of "kill Jiang Tangtang" turned into beating and killing ordinary people, robbing their property, and setting fire to their houses.
At this time, many emotional immigrants lost their ability to think and began to follow the crowd, doing whatever the people in front of them did.
As a result, the immigrants who were originally frightened turned into a mob and started killing, looting and burning, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
When Jiang Tangtang arrived on Gugu, there were fires everywhere and the scene was in chaos.
The moment Jiang Tangtang arrived at the scene riding Gugu, people also noticed Jiang Tangtang.
Many people don’t know Jiang Tangtang, but they have all heard of the legends related to Jiang Tangtang.
Riding a fairy bird and being able to summon a majestic tiger have almost become symbols of Jiang Tangtang's identity.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang riding Gugu, someone immediately shouted, "Quick! Kill the Dog Emperor! Is she the one who harmed us?"
"Kill her!"
…
The murderous immigrants rushed towards Jiang Tangtang like crazy.
It was impossible for these immigrants to hurt Jiang Tangtang. The moment the immigrants rushed over, Jiang Tangtang flew upwards with Gugu, instantly creating distance between him and the crazy immigrants.
Chang Fu, who was hiding in the crowd and watching this scene, was very confused. "Your Majesty, these stupid immigrants can't hurt the empress at all. Why should we take this step?"
Mu Yuchong stared gravely at the night sky where Jiang Tangtang had disappeared and said, "Changfu, do you know the saying on the battlefield, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated in a hundred battles?'"
Seeing that Mu Yuchong was not impatient but rather interested in the conversation, Chang Fu became a little bolder and guessed, "Your Majesty means that you are doing this to get to know the empress better?"
Mu Yuchong did not answer Chang Fu again.
But that's what I really think in my heart.
All the news about Jiang Tangtang that he had heard before was gathered through his own inquiries. In the eyes of the common people, this empress was so divine that she was practically akin to a deity in heaven.
But he didn't know how much of the news was true and how much was false.
He was eager to capture the empress and occupy Damin, but without any certainty, he did not intend to confront the empress directly.
He wanted to keep testing her to find out how much magical power she had.
As for whether Jiang Tangtang would suspect that someone was inciting immigration due to what happened today, he didn't care at all.
What he wanted was for her to move and show more of her strength.
In mid-air, Jiang Tangtang saw that something was not right and immediately wanted to drive Gugu back to the yamen and send people to deal with the riot.
But Gugu flew in the opposite direction.
Gugu rarely disobeyed his orders and acted on his own. Jiang Tangtang asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the atmosphere in that forest." Gugu flew over the forest and circled a few times. He asked in confusion, "Why is it gone again?"
Jiang Tangtang asked, "Could it be that you are mistaken?"
"Master, my feeling is never wrong." Gugu tilted his long neck and thought for a moment like a human before saying, "Although the aura is very faint, I feel it is demonic energy."
"Demonic energy?" Somehow, Jiang Tangtang suddenly thought of the spontaneous combustion of immigrants.
"Come with me to the morgue and see if there's any demonic energy on those corpses."
Jiang Tangtang took Gugu and changed direction and went to the morgue.
At the moment when the man and the bird completely disappeared in the sky, Master Qiu pulled away the Bagua blanket covering his head.
He laughed strangely and said, "What a sharp golden eagle."
Looking at the man with the Bagua blanket on his head, the beads on his neck like a red-hot iron, wrapped in wisps of black air, and the strange smile on his face, Shang Changwei felt inexplicably scared.
He always felt that the person in front of him was different from the imperial teacher he had known before.
Although it was still the same person, the national teacher today always made him feel scared.
As if sensing his surveillance, Qiu Zhuofan suddenly turned his head and looked towards Shang Changwei.
Shang Changwei instantly felt as if his thoughts had been seen through. A chill ran down his spine, and he quickly held his breath and asked, "Master, are we still going to kill the remaining people?"
Master Qiu looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "What do you think?"
Shang Changwei felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat, "I'll go right away."
"Then there's no need to be so anxious. I still have some things I need you to do." said Master Qiu.
"What's the matter?" Shang Changwei felt inexplicably dangerous and even had the urge to run away.
Master Qiu looked at him and said, "Come here and listen to my instructions."
Shang Changwei hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to walk over.
The moment he approached Master Qiu, the black air wrapped around the beads suddenly left the beads and entered his body through his eyes, ears, nasal cavity, and eyebrows like smoke.
On the other side, Jiang Tangtang quickly arrived at the morgue with the golden eagle.
"Did you feel it?" Jiang Tangtang asked the golden eagle while hovering above the morgue.
"No."
Jiang Tangtang let the golden eagle land.
The yamen runners guarding the morgue were immediately surprised when they saw Jiang Tangtang and the golden eagle.
Jiang Tangtang was a little scared when she first went into the mortuary to see a corpse in the middle of the night. She took a deep breath and said to the guard, "I suddenly had an idea. I want to go in and see the body."
"Your Majesty, please!"
A few yamen runners came to their senses and hurriedly lit the lights to escort Jiang Tangtang in.
Jiang Tangtang said, "You guys go down! I can take a look myself."
After the runners left the morgue, Jiang Tangtang hurriedly pulled back the white cloth covering the body and asked, "How is it? Can you feel it now?"
The Golden Eagle said, "I can't feel the demonic energy anymore, but these people's lungs have indeed been corroded by it."
