This is a complete waste of time
The four major sects wore their own uniforms and walked towards the center of the square.
The one walking at the front of each sect is the sect leader, and the people on both sides of the sect leader are the peak masters or elders with the highest cultivation level in each sect.
Following closely behind were the sect’s masters, whose pressure was unstoppable.
As soon as they appeared, they told everyone present how seriously they took this incident.
The originally bustling Xianmen Competition Square was now extremely quiet, with only the sound of a few rollers sliding on the ground.
Everyone listened to the sound and looked towards the source of the sound, and found that it came from behind the Guiyi Sect team.
In a large cage, there are several seemingly normal people.
Qin Gu spoke in such a silent environment.
"Today, we are using the Xianmen Grand Competition Square to hold a meeting. One of the purposes is to explain and demonstrate to everyone what happened in Songzi City a few days ago."
When he finished saying this, everyone who came below showed an expression of "as expected".
Qin Gu looked around and continued, "Secondly, I want to discuss with you how to deal with the resurgence of the demons and demon cultivators."
It can be said that except for the four major sects, the Biyun Sect, and a few small sects that had been to Songzi City, most of the people present knew nothing about the demonic cultivators, and when they heard this, they immediately started talking about it.
"Demons? Demonic cultivators?"
"A hundred years ago, powerful cultivators sacrificed themselves to slay the demonic cultivators and seal the Demon Realm. Wasn't that supposed to guarantee peace in the world for at least hundreds, or even thousands of years? Why did it appear again so soon?"
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Quiet!" There was a lot of discussion below, and Qin Gu had to use some spiritual energy to make his voice spread further. Most people were intimidated by his pressure and had to keep quiet to listen to his subsequent words.
"This is just a guess based on what happened in Songzi City." Qin Gu said, and then asked someone to move the cage to the center of the square.
"Master Qin, what do you mean? Don't the people in here look like ordinary mortals? They are not even cultivators, so how come they were captured by you?" Many people below could not tell the cultivation level of the people in the cage. Most people guessed that it was because the people inside had higher cultivation levels, so it was normal that those with low cultivation levels could not see it.
However, some cultivators who had already reached the stage of spiritual enlightenment or even the stage of refining emptiness could be sure that the people in the cage were all mortals without any cultivation. The impatient ones among them asked directly.
"They are ordinary people who have no cultivation but have been possessed by demons." As soon as Qin Gu finished speaking, someone refuted.
"Impossible. If a mortal were possessed by a demon, they wouldn't look so normal. They would have demonic markings or look different from normal people."
"That's one of the key points today: possession without the symptoms."
As Qin Gu spoke, he laid out the photo stones he brought back from Songzi City, as well as the photo stones he took when he interrogated the Lord of Songzi City in Guiyi Sect.
"What does Sect Leader Qin mean? Why did he take out so many photo stones?" someone wondered.
Some people were even more amazed: "As expected of the largest consignment, they sold so many of these rare or highly sought-after photo stones on the market."
If they knew that each member of the Guiyi Sect received one during the team assessment, they would probably be even more surprised.
"Everyone, please look." Qin Gu didn't waste any words and input spiritual energy with the others, allowing the contents of the photo stone to be displayed in front of everyone.
This photo stone actually started recording from outside Songzi City.
Most people couldn't see the problem at this time, but people with the cultivation level of Qin Gu and Yun Xuemin could tell at a glance that the guards at the city gate were not normal.
After they entered the city, some people noticed that there were abnormalities in the northwest and southwest corners of Songzi City, and everyone became serious in an instant.
The other three closest sects are the worst hit.
After all, when Qin Gu conveyed the message to them, although he said the matter was very serious, they did not see it and always had a trace of doubt in their hearts. It was only because of their trust in him as the leader of the sect that they did not take the matter lightly.
Even when Qin Gu swore that he had irrefutable evidence, they were just curious.
But now, the scenes shown by the photo stone made them frightened.
One is that when the image on the photo stone was still outside the city, Songzi City looked extremely normal from a distance, just a thriving mortal city. Even when the photo stone was not close to the guards, the guards looked extremely normal from a distance.
The most important thing is that most people behave normally when they see the contents of the photo stone.
Fang Tianhua, the leader of Yuanshi Sect, took a step back, exchanged glances with the person with the highest cultivation level in their sect, and then gathered together to whisper.
After a while, he called the other people in the sect to come forward, and a new round of whispering began.
This scene also happened to the Namo Sect and the Four Symbols Sect at the same time. The several major sects were staring at the content displayed by the photo stone, and then gathered together to whisper.
Finally, a conclusion was reached: those below the Spirit Transformation Stage could not see any abnormality in the guards at the gate of Songzi City.
Qin Gu, Yun Xuemin and others looked at each other. They had read the contents of the photo stone in advance and knew about this situation a long time ago.
There are quite a few cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in the world of cultivation. For example, their four major sects have more than a dozen of them. After all, the heads of the various peaks in the sect are almost all in the God Transformation Stage or above. Even the hall masters are mostly in the God Transformation Stage, and only a very small number may still be in the Nascent Soul Stage.
In second-rate sects like the Biyun Sect, there are more than one or two people in the God Transformation Stage.
However, those in the Spirit Transformation Stage of various sects rarely go out to gain experience, let alone go to a mortal city.
Those who have reached the state of transformation and above do not go out easily.
Those below the stage of Spirit Transformation cannot see anything unusual. Even if some people in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages pass by, they will not notice anything unusual in Songzi City.
What's worse, due to some agreements and rules between the world of cultivation and the mortal world, most cities will restrict entry to people above the foundation-building stage, which has become the best way for Songzi City to hide.
If it weren't for this accident, Songzi City would most likely have continued to develop in this way.
While people from various sects and schools who noticed the abnormality were grumbling about it, the photo stone continued to be displayed.
Qin Baoyao didn't realize at first that it was the photo stone she was carrying at the time. It was not until she entered the city and saw the figures of Yan Yuan and others in the photo stone, as well as Shi Yue's calm voice giving orders, that she realized it.
After realizing what was happening, she poked Shi Yue and said, "I recorded it."
Shi Yue nodded and praised her for being great.
To be honest, Senior Brother Qin and his companions had refined a large number of disposable photo stones for recording during the sect assessment. At that time, he just thought that only Qin Jun, who doted on his sister so much, would listen to his sister and refine so many photo stones that didn't seem to have much use.
Later, when he refined a batch of high-level reusable photo stones, he felt that his senior brother would do anything and give anything to please his sister.
Even before they set off, Qin Baoyao kept saying that she had to use the photo stone when she went out, he didn't care much.
It was not until he entered Songzi City and discovered the anomaly that he realized that if they could not solve the problem, they would need to record everything in the city so that others could understand what was happening in the city later.
Unexpectedly, it would be used in this way. What's more, because Qin Baoyao had recorded the contents along the way with the photo stone, there was no way to deny it.
Something was wrong with Songzi City starting from the guards at the city gate.
This is also what the sect leader and others said after they took out the photo stone and read the contents of the photo stone.
So, Qin Baoyao did a really great job in this regard.
There was not just one photo stone on the field. At the beginning, only the one Qin Baoyao recorded had content on display.
Afterwards, the other photo stones that had been injected with spiritual energy began to be displayed one by one.
This included everyone who came in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, including the City Lord, the housekeeper, the doorman, etc. In the eyes of Fang Tianhua and other people who were at the God Transformation level and above, they all noticed something unusual.
There are also three photo stones, showing three perspectives of going in different directions in the city. The people in those perspectives all suddenly fell down after going to a certain place, and started walking back after waking up.
After two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the photo stone, the stone was empty.
At this time, someone from Guiyi Sect replaced the three photo stones with new ones.
After changing it, the picture continued.
Qin Baoyao also saw it. It was she and Shi Yue who did it.
At that time, because I didn't trust Yan Yuan and the others, I had to replace the photo stones on them every day, for fear that one day they would find out and the photo stones would be destroyed.
Fortunately, because they were all using low-level ones, there was not much fluctuation in spiritual energy. She would always use the excuse of quarreling with them and attack them together with Shi Yue when they were emotional, so over the past few days, she was able to replace the photo stones every day.
After all, only a few of the people present could notice the abnormality, so as they watched, some people began to get impatient.
"What is Guiyi Sect doing? Just letting us sit here and watch the daily life of a mortal city?"
"That's right, there's nothing to see here. It's impossible to prove that there's something wrong with Songzi City just by looking at these photo stones, right?"
"Master Qin, why don't you produce some actual evidence? Making us stare at the footage for so long is simply a waste of time."
"Stop talking nonsense!" One of the wandering cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage also noticed something was wrong with Song Zicheng, and angrily scolded the disciple who spoke next to him.
The disciple lowered his head in grievance after being yelled at, muttering, "I'm not wrong. The photo stones are just some daily records. What's so interesting about them?"
There were many people present who thought the same as him. Many of them found it boring and thought that the four major sects were playing a joke on them, so they prepared to leave quietly.
An unexpected event occurred. Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue, who were normally following the people from the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly stopped and stepped back after being taken to a certain place.
Then the guards and soldiers of Songzi City in Liuyingshili began to take action.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's cultivation base skyrocketed.
After Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue took action, a faintly visible black fog began to appear in that place.
"What is that?" Those who saw this scene exclaimed.
When the cultivation of those people in Songzi City skyrocketed, they already knew that something was wrong with Songzi City. When they saw the black fog, they began to get agitated.
