Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Seeing that Gu Simiao was unmoved by his words and was still preparing the spell, and the people around him were calmed down without causing any disturbance, the demon who turned into a blood flag was silent for a moment, and then suddenly sneered.

The moment the laughter fell, those ferocious ghosts suddenly stopped for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the originally blurry shadows began to solidify rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they continued to squirm and turned into ordinary people with dull faces wearing various kinds of patched linen clothes.

"Do you know who these resentful souls were before they were alive?"

Seeing this scene, she didn't know what she thought of, but Gu Simiao's originally calm expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Shut up!"

She subconsciously scolded, and at the same time glanced at Lu Chen not far behind her from the corner of her eye.

Her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

However, it was already a life-or-death situation, so how could the enemy obey her orders and shut up?

Seeing Gu Simiao's reaction, the blood flag laughed again.

"Is there finally any sign of wavering in Dao's heart?"

As more and more black figures transformed into their previous appearances, Gu Simiao's face began to look increasingly ugly.

at the same time.

"That person is."

Behind Lu Chen, among the people staring at the sky, a policeman suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed with a look of horror on his face.

"Chen Da! Didn't he get rich? Didn't he just return to the village the day before yesterday to kowtow and pray for Mr. Lu's longevity tablet and fulfill his wish? How... how could it be possible?"

As soon as these words came out, others also came to their senses.

"Yes, it's him!"

"The old man next to him looks like Li Laoliu from the East Village."

"Isn't that Li Xiucai? I met him the day before yesterday when I went to inspect the Duke's fiefdom."

"."

The government officials kept seeing familiar people among the dull-eyed figures, and exclaimed from time to time. When hearing what they said, Lu Chen's heart sank inexplicably, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

At this time, a government official suddenly realized something and couldn't help but said: "Why do I feel that those people are all subjects of the Duke's fiefdom?"

These words were like thunder on the ground, breaking through all the fog in an instant. Almost everyone reacted, and then turned their heads to look at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen clenched his fists fiercely.

"That's what you said."

He turned around and stared at the government officials.

His usually clear eyes were filled with extremely suppressed blood red at this moment.

Seeing the appearance of Mr. Lu, the most popular person in the dynasty, everyone was instantly frightened into silence and dared not speak.

"Huaiyu!"

At this time, Gu Simiao could no longer care about the backlash of the interruption of the spell. She forced Netherworld down and said loudly to Lu Chen: "Don't believe the enemy's words easily. This is."

However, Lu Chen raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and then looked at the Yamen servant again who had realized that something was wrong.

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down a little, he asked in a deep voice: "If you return to me, those resentful souls?"

At this point, he gritted his teeth and his voice became much heavier.

"Are they all citizens of the official fiefdom?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to tell the truth.

Especially Gu Simiao was winking at them at this moment. If they told the truth, who knows what would happen.

But Lu Chen didn't have the intention to argue with them at this time. When he saw that they were submissive, his face suddenly became angry. As the most famous person in front of the empress, the aura of a superior who had been in charge of the court for a whole year instantly filled his body.

"answer!"

The moment the words fell, the terrifying official power poured out, covering everyone in it in an instant.

Swish!

Along with a gust of strong wind, everyone felt that the air around them suddenly solidified, and their shoulders sank suddenly, as if a mountain was pressing down and a huge force hit them.

Caught off guard, no one could react at all, and their bodies fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Faced with Lu Chen's vast official power, how could they dare to hide it? Even though one of the detectives hurriedly replied: "Master, calm down! I'll answer you, I'll answer you right away!!!"

"Master, calm down!!"

Lu Chen withdrew the spiritual power surrounding the official seal and stared at them closely.

Under his gaze, everyone did not dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly poured out beans and said: "Young men dare not deceive the Duke, because this year the Duke's fiefdom implemented the New Deal, many thoughtful people got rich. Not only that, Even those stupid and dutiful farmers are living many times better than before."

"Now we in Xingping County are very envious of the people of your fiefdom, so not only the common people, but also those of us who work as errands are rushing to get married with the villagers from several villages in your fiefdom so that we can get involved. He is very popular, so he was very close to Chen Da when he was young. He has a little sister who is only twenty-eight years old. A few days ago, he and Chen Da did not expect that. "

Speaking of this, his expression gradually became complicated.

I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Hearing what he said, Lu Chen's heart gradually hit rock bottom.

He did not rush to a conclusion, but looked at the other people.

It turned out that although what others said was different, they all meant the same thing.

Some even because of their ugly appearance, many families in several villages in his fiefdom looked down upon them and were unwilling to get married, so they would hang out in the villages whenever they had free time, get close to them, and become very familiar with many villagers.

That is

Those resentful souls were none other than the people of the fief that he had almost no memory of! At this thought, Lu Chen's eyes completely turned blood red.

He is not a fool. Even if he is a novice about politics at the beginning, even if he does not care about it, after a year of being in power, it is impossible for him not to understand politics now.

It’s Xingping County

They were the people of his fiefdom.

The magistrate of Xingping County and a group of local officials were killed inexplicably, the city defense formation could not be opened, and the government was almost completely paralyzed when the enemy attacked.

Everything, at this moment, seemed to be connected in an instant.

At this moment, the sound of blood flags came from the sky again——

"Want to escape?"

The tone was full of sarcasm.

"Looking at you, you must have guessed it even if I didn't say it."

Although he couldn't hear the movement on the ground blocked by the magic circle, he could see Gu Simiao's reaction. Seeing her panic, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to pursue the victory.

"Yes, these resentful souls are the people of Xingping County that you seem to be protecting to the death."

"They are now...not complete spiritual shells, but complete spiritual bodies with souls and souls."

Having said this, he paused for no apparent reason, and then said in a gloomy tone: "You should know, right? Generally speaking, the soul of a person whose body dies can only stay in the world for seven days before entering reincarnation, but if he is beaten during this period, Even an immortal will never be able to reshape their souls after they are shattered. I don’t need to say more about what will happen to them then, right?"

Bang!

With a soft sound, a blood lotus suddenly appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, the blood flag spoke human words again.

"Although my strange method is indeed not as powerful as the demon clan's treasure, can you really do it?"

"Come on, let me see how firm you are in your determination to protect the common people."

After saying that, the blood lotus flower suddenly bloomed, and the next second, in the thick blood powder, countless tiny blood lines suddenly flew out from the core of the flower, and in the blink of an eye, they were connected to the necks of every embodied soul.

"Ow!"

The moment they were penetrated by the blood thread, all the resentful souls roared violently, and the seven orifices burst out with dazzling blood light at the same time. The evil spirit surrounding their bodies was aroused to the extreme at this moment.

The strong resentment seemed to materialize, and in the extremely strong spiritual pressure, it fell overwhelmingly towards Xingping County below.

The initial landing point happened to be the inn where Lu Chen and Gu Simiao had stayed.

puff! !

In a panic, Gu Simiao failed to construct a defensive technique immediately. In an instant, some people vomited blood and fainted on the ground.

But the next second, a faint shimmer suddenly appeared on the roof of the inn, but it barely blocked the erosion of the blood-resentful spiritual pressure.

Gu Simiao also reacted quickly, hurriedly clenched the heavy sword in her hand and waved it in the air.

Wow! ! !

Accompanied by a strange black wind, a space crack instantly appeared in the place cut by the netherworld, and at the other end of the crack was the bloody lotus that was constantly opening.

After a while, the powerful suction force of the space's automatic repair began to quickly eat away at the bloody lotus. In just a few breaths, it swallowed up all the strange blood lotus.

After the blood lotus disappeared, the resentful soul quickly returned to its original sluggish appearance.

After wielding this sword skill, Gu Simiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood arrows with a "pop" sound. Then her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. In the end, she managed to stick Nether into the ground with all her strength and stood with her sword stationary.

Obviously, the extremely powerful sword skill just now was very costly for her who was already at the end of her strength, and it was not a move that could be used casually.

And I don't know if it was an illusion, but the Netherworld Heavy Sword seemed to tremble unnaturally and violently at the moment she vomited blood, making her already pale face even more miserable.

Even so, Gu Simiao quickly took out a few dark red pills from her arms, swallowed them without hesitation, and used her spiritual power to dissolve the effects of the medicine, and her face instantly regained some color.

What can take effect so quickly is naturally some kind of strong medicine, and since it is a strong medicine, it cannot have side effects.

But now I can’t control so much.

"Oh? You actually broke my magic with one move."

Seeing that his technique was blocked, Xue Ban was amazed.

"As expected of a strong man who can push us to this point. It's really amazing, but..."

Although the technique was broken, the look of pride in his words was even greater than before.

"As expected, you can't kill the souls of these ants."

Yes, as he said, if Gu Simiao's sword attack just now was aimed at the center of the resentful souls, with its terrifying power, less than half of the resentful souls could be cleared away in an instant.

But she used it to interrupt the spell.

For an old monster who has spent countless years immersed in the quest for immortality, this is already a good explanation.

Another blood banner said at the same time: "I see, is this the way to save the world? I really didn't expect that there are people in this world who can practice to such an extent on this universal way and specialize in it?"

"The Taoist heart based on common people. Ha."

At the end of the sentence, they all sneered at the same time, their laughter full of disdain.

Although his talent in cultivation cannot be compared with that of Gu Simiao, a genius who is rare to see in a millennium, cultivation is not the only criterion for measuring strength in this world.

As a scheming old fox, if he knows what kind of Tao the other party is cultivating, even if he is missing a big level, he still has a chance to win.

After all, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, as long as his Taoist heart is shaken or even broken, he will never be able to take another step forward in this life.

It is even possible to die on the spot.

Now, the opportunity is becoming increasingly apparent.

Gu Simiao did not respond, but looked at the resentful soul in the air with a gloomy expression, and her hands holding the ghost couldn't stop trembling.

Her eyes were not as firm as they were at the beginning, but contained a hint of hesitation that could not be resolved.
