Chapter 246 Soul-Eating Bell
In an instant, "boom boom boom" sounds of explosions rang out one after another, like rumbling thunder exploding in the ears. The heat wave instantly swept everything around, illuminating the entire town.
The surroundings became chaotic, with only the loud noises and hot air waves constantly hitting the tortoise shell shield.
Nan Xiao, Gu An and other experienced people had already skillfully closed their eyes, blocked their ears, and waited for the deafening explosion to end.
Inexperienced people like Jing Zhi and Song Hui felt as if their eardrums were hit by a sledgehammer, and the buzzing sound of tinnitus exploded instantly, as if the world had been switched to silent mode at this moment.
The explosion finally subsided, its echoes slowly dissipating into the air. Nan Xiao quickly collected the tortoise shell, his movements deft and skillful.
She looked up and saw the surrounding scene was in a mess.
Houses and buildings have been razed to the ground, leaving only devastation.
The puppet's broken limbs and arms mixed with gravel and dust were scattered everywhere.
If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would think she was the evil cultivator who killed people without blinking an eye.
The sky gradually turned brighter. Nan Xiao couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Jiang Xia and the other two had not returned yet.
Nan Xiao: "Third brother, let's go find the eldest brother and the others."
"good."
The two had just taken two steps when the familiar sound of bells rang out again.
"not good……"
The two of them flew towards the City Lord's Mansion with all their strength.
But it was still a step too late, and he could only watch the City Lord's Mansion change again.
The broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground also disappeared...
Nan Xiao's lips moved slightly: "Third Brother..."
Ye Wumian patted her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. We'll go look for them at night."
Nan Xiao: “Yeah.”
…
The other side.
Su Xun and Lu Huai took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion one after another. Su Xun was a little surprised to see Lu Huai.
"Why are you here? One messenger is enough. Go back quickly."
Lu Huai: "Xiaoxiao asked me to help."
"You come when she asks you to?"
Lu Huai said in a muffled voice: "I am worried and want to come myself."
"Okay, let's go together."
The City Lord's Mansion at night looks the same as it does during the day, but the layout inside is different.
As soon as the two stepped in, a chill crept up their spines.
They seemed to be targeted by something.
The two men silently took a defensive stance, intending to remain unchanged in the face of any changes.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and only the feeling of being watched like a shadow following behind made people feel creepy.
The two looked at each other and sped up at the same time...
As soon as they moved, countless flying swords shot out from all directions and surrounded them.
Lu Huai's eyes turned cold, and the spiritual sword in his hand left an afterimage. In a short while, all the flying swords were knocked to the ground.
Su Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Junior brother, it's OK."
"Brother, it's not over yet..."
As soon as Lu Huai finished speaking, dozens of black shadows had quietly surrounded the two of them.
Su Xun's usually lazy brows and eyes were tinged with seriousness.
"If we try hard, can we take them all down at once?"
Lu Huai lowered his eyes and thought, then answered seriously: "I think it's feasible."
The men in black had already attacked, and Su Xun and the other two cooperated well. In a short while, all the men in black were lying down.
When one group of men in black falls, another group of men in black will rise.
From the initial dozen to the hundreds now, the two of them have been completely blinded by killing and have forgotten about looking for the eldest brother.
It was not until the bell rang that the two came to their senses.
After they killed the last batch of men in black, they ran out of the door at the same time. When they stepped out of the door, the scene outside stunned them for a moment.
This was no longer the familiar Yuehua City streets they were familiar with. All they could see was endless darkness and countless puppets.
At a glance, the number of these puppets is more than 10 times that of the ones outside.
There was a strange red moon hanging in the sky.
The crimson moon was as red as blood, emitting a strange and cold light, which sprinkled on this group of puppets, adding a bit of ominous color, revealing an indescribable gloom and weirdness.
Su Xun laughed dryly twice: "I must have opened the door incorrectly. Let me try again."
After saying that, he grabbed Lu Huai's hand, closed the door without even looking back, and ran away.
Lu Huai's eyes were filled with smiles, and he didn't struggle, letting Su Xun drag him along. "Fourth Senior Brother, aren't we running? We've already reached the base camp, why are you running?"
Su Xun: “…”
I'm sorry, he spoke too harshly before.
Not even a little bit.
Not to mention the men in black and the evil cultivators behind them, those puppets alone could drown him with just a single spit from each one.
This kind of large-scale damage requires the help of my junior sister.
I should have asked my junior sister for a few bombs to keep on me as a backup.
The two of them wandered around and found a secluded place to hide.
Su Xun inadvertently turned his head and caught the slightly raised corner of Lu Huai's mouth.
He was startled and reacted instantly.
This damn kid, it turns out he did it on purpose!
…………
Underground palace.
The surrounding stone walls are inlaid with luminous pearls emitting a faint green light, the light is dim and eerie.
At the highest point of the underground palace sat a man wearing a mask. The mask was ugly and large, making it impossible to see his true face.
Below, countless black-robed figures stood densely packed together. Their figures were concealed beneath their vast black robes, not even a wisp of skin visible, only vague outlines, like a group of shadows emerging from the darkness.
One of the black-robed men strode forward, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "Master, we've had a great harvest today. We've successfully captured a hundred cultivators, seventy of whom are independent cultivators."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, a group of cultivators have recently arrived in Yuehua City. Following your previous instructions, we secretly activated the Soul-Devouring Bell, but for some reason, it seems to have had little effect on them. However, three cultivators, though not controlled by the Soul-Devouring Bell, have also followed us here. It's only a matter of time before we capture them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked figure in the high seat slammed the armrest of his chair, glared at the dark figure below, and roared, "Waste! Those cultivators from Yuehua City are all direct disciples of several major sects. They've already destroyed nearly one-tenth of our puppets, and now three more have sneaked in. Not only did you fail to capture them, but you even dare to gloat here. You are truly useless!"
The black-robed figure tumbled to his knees in terror, his head buried deep in the ground. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Master, please calm down! I failed to do my job well and underestimated the abilities of those disciples. But please give me one more chance. I will do everything in my power to bring those three people to justice and will not allow them to stir up trouble in this underground palace and undermine your grand plan."
"I'll give you one day. If you still can't capture these disciples, I'll start with you."
"yes."
