As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Shi Xuan felt the monitoring power of Overlooking Abyss City's array formation suddenly increase. Even if it was a Yin God, it would be impossible for him to sneak out of the city. He would be immediately discovered.
Shi Xuan, who was originally considering whether or not to leave the city to avoid the brunt of the attack, didn't need to waste any more time to make a decision. If he really did sneak out of the city now, he would definitely be discovered by the array formation and then killed by the Minuscule Army outside the city. The chances of him successfully escaping were less than 30%.
This 30% was because Shi Xuan didn't know the principles behind the Minuscule Army's battle formation. If it was based on the exquisite cooperation of Jindan Grandmaster and the Divine Soul cultivators, then under the interference of his Taiji Diagram, it was likely that a single battle formation would be broken before it could even activate. But now, there were two armies. It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and he was surrounded by enemies from all sides.
Most importantly, if the battle formation only used Jindan Grandmaster and the Divine Soul cultivators as the source of power, then the formation's exquisiteness would be focused on the Yin God, magic treasure, or perfect spirit artifact level array diagrams and array flags. The effect of the Taiji Diagram would be greatly reduced. In this case, when facing the battle formation, Shi Xuan's fate wouldn't be any better than Duke Cheng's.
All in all, Shi Xuan only had less than 30% confidence to force his way through. With such a low chance of success, unless he was forced to or encountered a battle, Shi Xuan wouldn't do it with his cautious personality. Generally speaking, if Shi Xuan made a move, he would have at least a 70% chance of surviving.
So, Shi Xuan smiled and nodded at Li Wei. "I didn't expect Venerable Wei Emu to think so highly of our Overlooking Abyss City."
Li Wei already had his own thoughts about this. "Perhaps it's because after the Nascent Fetus Sect reappeared, our Overlooking Abyss City was the first to discover their traces. Perhaps there are still many of them here."
After saying this, he unconsciously lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard from my colleagues that many people from the city council, cultivator armies, and trading companies were captured by the general. It's said that it's because they have connections with the Nascent Fetus Sect."
Shi Xuan was very clear about this, but under the influence of the array formation, Shi Xuan's keen Yin Spirit felt a bit suppressed. After agreeing with Li Wei, he politely sent him out and sat cross-legged for a while to recover.
Early the next morning, the sheriff knocked on Shi Shuan's door. It was the skinny sheriff from last time.
The next morning, the sheriff knocked on Shi Xuan 'door. It was the same skinny sheriff as last time.
The skinny police officer said with a fawning smile, "Good morning, Mister Shi. This time, Venerable Weimu will be giving a speech in the plaza outside the city hall. All residents of Overlooking Abyss City must attend. The time will be in two hours.
"Can't you go?" Shi Shuan pretended to be impatient.
The skinny sheriff smiled apologetically. "Mister Shi, please don't be impulsive. Wait for the Venerable Wei Emu. If you don't go, you will be disrespecting Venerable Wei Emu. If you disrespect Venerable Wei Emu, you will be a remnant of the Nascent Fetus Sect. Even the general will not be able to protect you."
Shi Xuan saw that it was so strict, so he nodded and agreed. If he really did not go, Shi Xuan did not have the confidence to make it out.
After leaving, he met Li Wei, Huang Xiao, and the other neighbors. Naturally, everyone went together. They were extremely happy to meet Venerable Wei Emu. It was as if they were meeting their idol.
Along the way, there was a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five. The security was tight.
Huang Xiao looked left and right, and said disappointedly, "Why don't I see the Venerable Wei Emu?"
Li Wei consoled his wife. "They should be protecting Venerable Wei Emu at the plaza. We will see them when we get there."
Another young neighbor laughed. "Even if we go to the plaza, we won't be able to see them. Venerable Wei Emu wants to speak to the citizens of Overlooking Abyss City. The Venerable Wei Emu Army is too much of an eyesore. It seems like they are treating the citizens as enemies. So they will not appear in front of everyone. They will only protect them from the shadows."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Huang Xiao pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction at not being able to see the majestic Venerable Wei Emu Army.
The plaza in front of the city hall was huge. It was a hundred times bigger than the soccer fields that Shi Xuan had seen in his previous life. It could hold hundreds of thousands of people without a problem.
Under the sheriff's organization, Shi Xuan and the neighbors found their own positions at the plaza and waited quietly.
At about noon, Shi Xuan felt two Venerable Wei Emu Army emitting a strong pressure nearby. Venerable Wei Emu was at the front, followed by State Duke Gan and General Overlooking Abyss City. Under the protection of many cultivators, they walked out of the city hall and prepared to go to the big round platform in the center of the plaza.
Venerable Wei Emu and State Duke Gan were on this occasion. The Yin God Venerable Wei Emu's cultivation was not concealed. The citizens of Overlooking Abyss City on both sides of the road could not help but bow.
Just as they were about to walk in front of Shi Xuan and the others, suddenly, a few black lights flew out from a certain area of the crowd and slashed at Venerable Wei Emu and State Duke Gan at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. After the black lights, many evil spirits with two horns on their heads and extraordinary strength charged out from the crowd.
At the same time, countless hysterical voices rang in everyone's ears.
"Heavens punish the traitors!" "Avenge our clansmen!" "Kill the traitors who stole the country!" "The Holy Church eradicate evil!"
This time, the assassination was very sudden, and the speed was very fast. The people who attacked Venerable Wei Emu and Minister Gan were all experts of the Yin God level, and those black lights were at least Level Three Perfection Life Spirit Weapons.
Jindan Grandmaster and the two Yin God Venerables who were guarding on both sides were caught off guard. They could only watch helplessly as the spiritual weapons flew past them. They were also entangled by the ferocious evil spirits that came with the spiritual weapons.
However, Venerable Wei Emu and State Duke Gan were both Yin God Venerables. Naturally, they would not be defenseless. Venerable Wei Emu opened his mouth and a flower with golden petals and black stamen shot out from his mouth. It blocked several black lights in the air.
The black lights were eerie and gloomy with a strange chill. In the blink of an eye, a thin layer of black ice formed on the flower and its brilliance gradually dimmed. However, it also bought time for Venerable Wei Emu. His Myriad Net Ruyi Life Weapon glowed with a clear light as it moved forward to meet the black lights. With a few pokes, it repelled the black lights.
On the other side, State Duke Gan was much better off than Venerable Wei Emu. Because there was only one black light that hit him, he easily blocked it with a secret treasure. Then, he unfolded his Spiritual Weapon and protected himself tightly.
At this moment, a huge sword that seemed to be condensed from endless sunlight seemed to appear from the sky. It slashed towards the area where the assassins were most concentrated.
"No!"
"We're not assassins!"
"I'm a citizen of the empire …"
…
All the sounds were annihilated in the explosion of the endless sunlight. The area suddenly became quiet. There was no sound until the sunlight dissipated. A huge pit appeared there. The surface of the pit was a smooth, glass-like object that had melted and condensed again. The bottom of the pit could not be seen at a glance. It was dark and seemed to go all the way underground.
The assassination stopped. Everyone in the city was shocked speechless by this scene. The Tiny Dart Corps did not care about the lives of the citizens. With one strike, tens of thousands of citizens and assassins died together.
"How can this be? How can this be! " Huang Xiaoba held the child and muttered to herself. Li Wei, who had regained his senses, quickly covered her mouth to stop her from continuing. God knows if the Tiny Dart Corps would casually attack them after hearing this.
The Tiny Dart Corps flew over the square like an army. Thousands of indifferent and emotionless eyes stared at everyone in the square. No one dared to move at all.
Shi Xuan did not expect the Tiny Dart Corps to be so decisive. In the blink of an eye, the situation had become like this. In this situation, he could only stand still like the people around him.
Just now when he saw the Tiny Dart Corps attack at close range, without the barrier of the water mirror, Shi Xuan already knew that the key to this battle formation lay in the three Yin God Lords. Moreover, every Jindan Grandmaster and the Divine Soul Cultivator seemed to have fused with something. That thing was also a part of the battle formation. Those Jindan Grandmaster and the Divine Soul Cultivator seemed to be controlled by that thing.
Shi Xuan judged that if he used the primal chaos diagram, he should have a 40-50% chance of stopping that thing. However, outside the square behind him, another Tiny Dart Corps was already eyeing him. Even if he bet on this 50% chance, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings.
This feeling of not being able to resist made Shi Xuan feel slightly uncomfortable. However, he quickly restrained his emotions. The problem of strength could not be solved for the time being. He could only accept it. Blaming others was not a good state of mind.
After all, in the end, it was because he did not have enough time to cultivate. The primal chaos diagram was not high enough. If it was a perfect spiritual tool, then it would not be 40-50% chance of success, but 80-90%. Moreover, after breaking the formation, he could save a few breaths of time to escape and avoid being attacked by the Corps behind him.
With such a thing happening, it was impossible to continue talking. After Sir Wei Emu said a few words to the Yin God Lord beside him, he returned to the municipal office with Duke Gan and General Lin Yuan.
The Yin God Lord had a gloomy face. He flew into the air and shouted below the Tiny Dart Corps, "I didn't think that the remnants of the Origin Fetus Sect and the Duke's Public House would be so rampant. Now everyone here is a suspect. You must be interrogated before you can leave." His voice was incomparably hoarse, as if there was a piece of sand in his throat.
Under the powerful strength of the Tiny Dart Corps, naturally no one dared to say no. They all obediently lined up and waited for the cultivator guards to inspect them.
At this time, a Soul Stage cultivator came out from the municipal office. He looked like the leader of the city's security officers. After he flew to the side of the Yin God Lord, he whispered to him for a long time.
The Yin God Lord nodded his head in satisfaction. He pointed at a few places, "According to reliable clues, you guys, you guys … are the most suspicious. Come to the side and stand. We will inspect you guys later."
The group of two to three thousand cultivators that he pointed at included Shi Xuan and his group. Other than Shi Xuan, everyone else was so scared that their faces turned pale. They were afraid that they would be linked to the Origin Fetus Sect.
