Inside Sunsoil City.
Countless adventurers had abandoned the city and fled.
From afar, they could see the black torrent approaching them. It was a terrifying army made up of countless Tormented Souls!
The soaring murderous aura and resentment were daunting!
Wherever the army passed, the Tormented Souls were easily torn apart, destroyed, and devoured. No one could stop them.
From afar, the crowd could even see an Honorable adventurer being dragged into the Tormented Army. Within a few breaths, he was torn into pieces. It was a gruesome sight.
The Tormented Army seemed to have only one rule …
Kill anyone on sight!
"This is too terrifying."
"I'm afraid Sunsoil City is going to be gone today."
Everyone, including the few famous top-notch troops in Sunsoil City, had no choice but to flee in the face of the Tormented Army.
However, among the fleeing crowd, a group of Defiant Ones appeared.
While everyone was busy fleeing Sunsoil City, these people were heading straight for Sunsoil City from afar.
Every single one of them had a determined look on their faces.
"These people … are from the Horizon Wing Sect."
"What are they doing? What are they doing in Sunsoil City?"
Everyone was puzzled.
At that moment, someone lamented, "After Sunsoil City is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Horizon Wing Sect. There are tens of millions of civilians living there. Once Sunsoil City is gone, you can imagine what will happen to the civilians. They're here to defend against the tormented souls!"
Hearing this, some people had a look of respect in their eyes.
However, there were also those who scoffed.
"Hmph, these people think they can defend against the Tormented Army? They must be tired of living. "
"That's right, this army is too terrifying. Forget about one Horizon Wing Sect, even ten Horizon Wing Sects wouldn't be able to stop it."
"They'll just be sending themselves to their deaths if they go."
…
In Sunsoil City.
As soon as Leng Changkong and the others returned to Sunsoil City, they saw the majestic and resentful Tormented Army.
Leng Changkong immediately thought of the countless civilians under the jurisdiction of the Horizon Wing Sect. He knew that his sect would not leave them be.
As expected.
Not long after, he received a message from the Horizon Wing Sect.
"Old Zhang, bring Wang Chao and the others away."
Leng Changkong said to Old Zhang of the Horizon Wing Squad.
Other than the people from the Horizon Wing Sect, there were also a few people who were not from the Horizon Wing Sect. There was no reason for them to stay and fight the Tormented Army.
"Captain, what are you talking about? I don't know about the others, but I, Old Zhang, am not leaving. We agreed to live and die together," Old Zhang said.
"Yes, we're not leaving either."
"Aren't they just tormented souls? I've seen too many of them. "
The members of the Horizon Feather Battle Team had been through thick and thin together for many years.
None of them wanted to leave.
At this point, Leng Changkong suddenly felt that his greatest achievement in this life was not becoming a Daoist, but having this group of brothers!
At this moment, rays of light flew over the heads of Leng Changkong and the others. The people from the Horizon Wing Sect had arrived.
"Let's go."
Leng Changkong took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.
He led the crowd toward the city wall of Tuyang City.
In the city, among the fleeing crowd, there was a young monk dressed in cloth clothes and shoes. He held a Buddhist staff in his hand and was also walking towards the city walls.
Everyone was surprised to see him.
"This monk doesn't want his life anymore. He actually dares to go to the city gates."
"Isn't he afraid of the tormented souls?"
"Who cares? Let's just run."
The young monk listened to the people around him with a calm expression. He looked at the incoming tormented souls from afar and murmured, "Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will?!"
At this thought, he walked towards the city gates without hesitation.
At this moment, he saw the Horizon Wing Sect cultivators flying towards the city walls to fend off the tormented souls. He smiled.
"My path is not lonely, my path is not lonely."
…
On the city walls of Tuyang City.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master and a group of elders were looking at the Tormented Army from afar with grave expressions.
The Tormented Army's terror was beyond their imagination. Even from afar, they could still feel the immense pressure.
That terrifying resentment caused goosebumps to rise all over their bodies.
At this time, Leng Changkong and the others had also arrived.
"Greetings, Sect Master, Elders."
"Mm, this is wartime. There's no need for formalities."
"Yes."
Leng Changkong noticed a young monk beside the Horizon Wing Sect Master and could not help but be curious. "This master is …"
"My name is Wu Ye."
The young monk, Wu Ye, smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Leng Changkong and the others could not help but be shocked.
"Wu Ye, the Thunder Temple's Arhat, Wu Ye?!"
"The outstanding figure of the younger generation of Buddhism and also one of the thirty-eight Young Emperors, Wu Ye. He's here too."
Wu Ye was a well-known name among the younger generation.
The titles of Arhat and Young Emperor were enough to resound throughout the world.
"Master Wu Ye came to the Ancient Battlefield to train. Now that we've encountered the Tormented Army, Master Wu Ye is compassionate and has come to help."
The Horizon Wing Sect Master said.
"I see."
Leng Changkong's expression turned solemn as he bowed to Wu Ye.
Then, the group began to discuss how to deal with the Tormented Army.
The Tormented Army was less than a hundred miles away from Tuyang City. With the speed of the Tormented Army, they would arrive in no time at all.
There was not much time left for the group.
"I've observed them. The Tormented Army's individual strength is not strong, but they're very concentrated, just like a military formation! They've gathered all the Tormented Army's strength together. That's the trickiest part. "
"That's right. If we can break this formation, the Tormented Army will disperse. Then, it'll be much easier to deal with them."
"How do we break this formation?"
"Since it's a military formation, there must be a general leading it. As long as we eliminate the general among the Tormented Army, this formation can be broken!"
"But there are so many Tormented Army, how do we find the general?"
At this point, the group fell into another dilemma.
Arhat Wu Ye smiled faintly. "Leave it to me."
The group looked at him. The Horizon Wing Sect Master's heart skipped a beat. "Rumor has it that the Thunder Temple has a technique called the Divine Eye. When cultivated to the extreme, one can observe the three realms and six paths. Master Wu Ye, are you thinking of using the Divine Eye to find the Tormented Army general?"
"I can give it a try."
Wu Ye nodded slightly.
Then, a golden light flashed in his eyes. With the Divine Eye activated, the Tormented Army in the distance immediately came into view.
The majestic resentment surged towards him, causing his body to tremble. His Divine Eye was almost blinded.
With a solemn expression, he began to search among the Tormented Army.
Finally, he locked onto a Tormented Army. The Tormented Army was clad in a set of black armor, and the resentment on its body was extremely dense. Countless Tormented Army hovered around it as if they were protecting it.
"Looks like this is the Tormented Army's leader."
Arhat Wu Ye explained his discovery to the Horizon Wing Sect Master and the others.
"Next, we'll have to kill this Tormented Army general."
"Leave it to me."
The Horizon Wing Sect Master smiled faintly. He took out a golden longbow that exuded an extraordinary Daoist Rhyme.
Then, an arrow appeared in his hand. He nocked the arrow and, under Wu Ye's guidance, locked onto the Tormented Army general's position.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master pulled the golden longbow to its fullest extent and continuously channeled spiritual energy into the longbow.
Then, with a whoosh, the arrow shot through the air and turned into a golden ray of light that flew towards the Tormented Army general!
