the only savior

Inside the city, Li Qiang flew with his sword for several miles, and came to the sky above the City Lord's Mansion in the city.

This is the place where the bloody aura is the strongest, and he doesn't even need the eyes of the sky, but he can feel the terrifying aura here from a long distance away.

"What a monster, this is..."

You want to observe the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion below, only to see that in addition to the strong blood evil spirit hovering here, there is also a strong and suffocating evil spirit remaining here.

These demonic auras are mixed with the bloody aura and constantly drift in the city lord's mansion, as if faintly forming some kind of formation.

"Just the remaining monster energy has such a huge power. The person who was here before must be a big monster, and its strength is likely to be above the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Li Qiang was shocked. He didn't expect that this group of rebels not only colluded with the Yaozu, but also had such a powerful existence among them.

He carefully looked at the formation below in the air, and secretly guessed that the people in this city died so tragically, it may be that this large formation used the material for the sacrifice, and the essence and blood in the body were sucked out of the body to die, no wonder Death is so painful.

"Using such a vicious formation to refine the living people of the city, such monsters must not be left behind!"

Li Qiang's heart was filled with anger.

"Wait, why is there a gap in this formation?"

During the observation, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a piece missing in the center of the formation, which seemed a bit out of place.

Yu Jian flew down, and Li Qiang planned to find out.

There was an open space in the center of the formation, and an altar was erected on the open space. The entire altar was made of black stone, and there was a small bulge in the center of it.

When Li Qiang came to the protrusion, he found that it was bigger than he imagined when he saw it in the sky.

It was a square platform as high as one person, and its area was as big as a whole room in an ordinary family.

There were cracks on the top of the square platform. Li Qiang pointed out his finger out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that the whole square platform weighing tens of tons would be turned into fly ash in front of him in the next second.

"This is... the breath after a lightning strike? Have you ever been struck by lightning...?"

He noticed the different traces here, but felt a little unbelievable. If it was really lightning, what kind of lightning could cause such an effect?
"Could it be... Thunder Tribulation?"

Li Qiang was startled, he could split the entire square platform like this, probably only the thunder in the sky could do it.

Then, he found some other interesting things nearby.

"Are these bloodstains and bone chips?"

It is not surprising that there are bloodstains, after all, this discount has collected the blood of the entire city residents, but those ancient counties made him feel a little out of place.

"Could it be that the monster not only picks but also collects human bones? Impossible, the corpses are lying in the city, these bone fragments must have come from some other place."

Li Qiang pondered in his heart for a while, but couldn't find the answer for the time being.

There is still too little information available for analysis, and he feels that he needs to go to the next city to check.

It's just that with this monster's means, I'm afraid that the next city will be a miserable scene in the world. He really can't imagine how he will feel when he sees that scene.

But in any case, after this investigation, Li Qiang still had some clues.

According to common sense, this monster has arranged such a large formation and sacrificed so many humans, it must not be just for fun, it has its own purpose.

And this kind of purpose, after thinking about it, is nothing more than two kinds.

This guy is either absorbing a large amount of human blood essence to improve his strength, or he is using the blood essence to refine magic weapons.

Li Qiang feels that the possibility of the first option is relatively high. After all, it is a common method used by many monsters to improve their strength in this way. He has seen a lot of this in his travels in the past few years. Strange.

Generally speaking, the strength of such monster races will improve very quickly, even faster than cultivators like them.

But there is also a disadvantage in doing so, that is, when you cross the catastrophe, you will be hit harder by the catastrophe, so you must have stronger strength to resist it.

"Stronger strength... Could it be that..."

Li Qiang couldn't help but move slightly after thinking about it.

"This monster killed millions of people on the battlefield before, and absorbed so much blood, it should not need to continue to improve its strength in a short time... And the reason why it refined the entire city of humans is definitely There is a need for something else..."

"That is to say, it is really using these evil spirits and blood to cultivate magic weapons!?"

Li Qiang instantly felt that he had guessed the key point, and the probability of the second possibility rising sharply.

Coupled with the bone fragments found at the scene, he is now almost certain that this monster must be commemorating some kind of evil magic weapon, and the purpose is probably to enhance its own strength.

"No, we must hurry to the next place. If the strength of this monster has already broken through the current realm, it's okay. If it is preparing to break through, then it must use these magic weapons to fight against the catastrophe!"

Li Qiang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of the monster clan's unscrupulous ways of crossing the catastrophe.

Because the catastrophe encountered by these monsters who have killed too much evil will be very strong, they will also prepare a large number of magic weapons when fighting, and each of these magic weapons may have to sacrifice an entire magic weapon if they want to practice it. city ​​humans.

If the other party needs it, they will even use the blood and resentment of the city's living beings to form a large formation during the tribulation, so that more innocent people will die.

When Li Qiang thought of this, he couldn't take care of it. The rest of the city was full of evil spirits, and he immediately set off for the next city. The most urgent task now is to find and stop the monster. More on that later.

He flew all the way to the southwest. The closest to Changliu City is a small city named Fengyang County, which is only forty miles away from Changliu. Although Li Qiang has never been here, he has seen the inside of the Zongmen. It is roughly considered to know the location, and it is not difficult to find this county.

However, as before, when he drove the flying sword to the sky above Fengyang County, he was still shocked by the bloody scene in the city.

"Damn monster! Sure enough, it also attacked here!"

Li Qiang was startled and angry, he didn't have time to do more investigations, and immediately went to the next area without stopping.

Taiyuan City, the same!
Lingju City, the same!
Yiwangcheng, the same!
Sancai City, the same!
……

Seven or eight cities in a row, each of which suffered poisonous hands, none of them survived!

The big monster used the city as its formation to sacrifice souls and help it refine magic weapons. More than ten cities have been destroyed in its hands.

Although these cities are not too big, with only a million people in total, which is equivalent to a Hanyue city, Li Qiang is shocked by the lives of these people.

He really didn't expect that this world has just recovered its aura, and it hasn't been long since the monsters appeared, but the human city has already suffered such damage.

Thinking of the secrets circulating in the master's school, it was about the rumor of the "immortal disaster" in the past, and it was also the reason why the emperor in the court banned the appearance of monks, Li Qiang couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.

Originally, he thought that the little emperor was overly nervous, but only after seeing the tragic situation in those cities today did he realize that the other party's actions were indeed justifiable.

Although the big monster was not a human monk, through this incident he could see the crushing strength of the immortal cultivator when facing mortals.

There are not no bad people in the human race. Once these people set foot on the fairy road, who can guarantee that they will not do similar things.

Among so many monks, as long as one or two are such evil demon cultivators, the disaster he will bring to the mortal world will be immeasurable.

"No! I will never let them succeed! I will punish such monsters!"

Li Qiang's eyes were red, and he continued to dare to go to the next city.

He has figured out the strange behavior of this monster. From the appearance, it should be heading all the way to the capital where the emperor is. Judging from the posture of this guy, he should be planning to kill all the way to the imperial city.

In the imperial city at this moment, the emperor Jingxuan of the Dafu Dynasty also got the news that dozens of cities were captured in a row. Even if the speed of news spread in this era is lagging behind, he should have gotten some news by this time.

Although Jing Xuan didn't know about the fact that all the people in the city were tempered by the blood of monsters, he learned about the corpse puppets from the soldiers who survived to retrieve them.

There are so many corpse puppets, all of them are vicious, swift and powerful, and even the masters in the world are not their opponents, they are extremely vicious.

What shocked Jing Xuan the most was that there were more than [-] of these monsters. With such a number of ghosts rushing onto the battlefield, it was no wonder that his army of millions would be slaughtered within two days.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are coming in a menacing way, and they are obviously coming straight for you. The old minister asks Your Majesty to leave the capital first and find a safe place before commanding the battle!"

In the main hall, a white-haired old general cupped his fists and begged.

Jing Xuan's face turned blue and red.

run again!
The last time he had a conflict with Tian Yuanzong, he had already left the imperial city for a run. This time he was fighting with Jing Heng, so is he going to escape again?
Even if he is an emperor who knows how to distinguish facts, he can't help but feel angry at this moment.

"Could it be that these monks and monsters are really incomprehensible! If this is the case, then is my country still mine after all?"

He slapped the dragon chair hard, and walked back and forth in the hall in a rage.

Seeing this, all the ministers of His Highness lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, the situation is urgent, and you must not be arrogant!"

The old general hurriedly advised.

"As for the army of demons brought by Jing Heng, I thought that His Majesty should ask Tian Yuanzong for help. These days, the court Si Tianjian and Tian Yuanzong have been communicating with each other. Your Majesty may wish to arrange an envoy to contact Tian Yuanzong's immortal head. It seems more appropriate for them to deal with these demons and ghosts."

The old general's words were immediately seconded by the ministers. After all, professional people do professional things, and it is safest for these immortal cultivators to fight and kill.

"Si Tianjian..."

Jing Xuan looked a little hesitant.

Sitianjian was originally an institution used by the imperial court to observe astronomy and calculate the calendar. Although it still had duties such as offering sacrifices, worshiping gods, measuring Fengshui, and determining dragon veins, after Jingxuan abolished Dao, Sitianjian was left with nothing but emptiness. The shell is broken, and there is almost no other work except pushing the calendar.

But now, after the last incident in Hanyue City, Jing Xuan acquiesced in the revival of orthodoxy, and the power of the Sitian Supervisor is gradually returning. Later, they even took charge of the connection with Tianyuanzong, Mr. Pei [-] The precious tea that he drank in Tianyuan Mountain earlier was gifted by Si Tianjian.

Although Jing Xuan is very reluctant to do this, it seems that there is only one way left now.

"Where is the palm seal of Si Tianjian!"

A minister quickly stood up, bowed and saluted:
"The old minister is here!"

"I immediately order you to contact the monks of Tianyuanzong and tell them the situation here, and ask the... immortal head of Tianyuanzong to help me out of danger! There must be no mistakes!"

"The minister takes orders!"

The Si Tianjian bowed again, but immediately hesitantly appeared on his face, and asked:

"But... Your Majesty... there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."

"Why are you hemming and hawing! Say!"

Jing Xuan was angry.

The palm print lowered his head, boldly said:
"Your Majesty, the people of Tianyuanzong have always wanted to expand the scope of their Fairy Fate Conference. I have already talked to my minister about this matter twice... This time we ask them for help, I am afraid that we will have to..."

Jing Xuan immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but feel a real headache.

He sat back on the dragon chair, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, his brows were locked together, and he said after a long time:
"Forget it, if you agree with them, then..."

Jing Xuan waved his hand helplessly, ending the court meeting.

In the hall, only he and the old general were left.

"His Majesty……"

The old general opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Jing Xuan raising his hand.

"Lu Cheng, I know what you think. I was indeed wrong before. Now that the world has completely changed, I shouldn't continue to stick to the previous ban... The court also needs to have its own monk power, Otherwise, what happened to Jing Heng won't be just the last time..."

"Since the people of Tianyuanzong want to expand the scope of the Fairy Fate Conference, then we should accept them. Anyway... If they force it, the court will be powerless to stop it after all... Why don't we take this opportunity to agree to it? It can be regarded as a step for both parties..."

Jing Xuan looked outside the hall with a firm light in his eyes.

"Perhaps, I should try again to see if I can practice the exercise in the secret library..."
