The Lion King and Ice Fairy stood up almost at the same time and explained, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, I can guarantee that this was not done by the Lion Camel Ridge."
"It was not done by the Cave of Coiling Silk either. After I came out of seclusion and found out about the Fangcun Mountain, I imprisoned Hua Shiniang and everyone involved in the plan. It was definitely not done by them." Ice Fairy also hurriedly explained.
Only the Demon King stood up slowly, touched his big bald head and said, "It was not done by the Demon King's Stronghold either. Hey, that's strange. Who else would dare to do this? Could it be those guys from the Bottomless Pit? "
"Fellow Daoist Kui, you can't speak without thinking just because Madam Diyong is not here." Hua Shiniang sneered and said.
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's face showed a look of contemplation. He walked to the front of the pit and bent down to investigate.
While the few of them were talking, "Boom Boom" sounds of explosions rang out one after another.
Shen Luo frowned and looked around. He saw that in different directions of Chang 'an City, there were plumes of black smoke rising.
"What a strong Devil Qi!" At this time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly frowned and said.
"This demonic Qi is not pure. There is a lot of evil Qi mixed in it. It doesn't look like a proper demon. It looks more like those underground demons." The Blue Fur Lion King also sniffed the air and said.
Demons were also divided into different species. Among them, they were differentiated by the amount of Chi You's Devil Blood. The more Devil Blood there was, the more orthodox it was. The weaker the Devil Blood was, the more heterogeneous it was.
However, there was a group of evil spirits that had been dormant in the Earth Vein for a long time. Their bloodline could be traced back to the ancient Taotie, but most of them had impure blood and low intelligence. They were more like Devil Beasts.
These evil spirits were all cruel and bloodthirsty. Even Demons saw them as food. Therefore, not only did the Immortals and Humans hate them, but even Demons saw them as heretics.
"To be able to gather so much demonic aura, it is not something that can be done overnight. It must have been planned for a long time. Before this, was there anything wrong in Chang 'an City?" Li Jing said as he picked up a handful of soil on the ground.
"Boom!"
At this moment, an earth-shattering boom came from the northwest.
Then, everybody saw a pitch-black tentacle hundreds of meters long rising from the ground in the northwest of Chang 'an City. It was raised high into the sky, with black light enshrouding it and black electric arcs bursting out in thunderous noises!
The pitch-black tentacles smashed down in all directions. Every time they fell, they were accompanied by a bolt of lightning. Immediately after, the lightning collapsed, and many stone slabs and rubble could be seen flying into the air. Then, waves of cries and wails could be heard.
At the same time, a burst of golden light suddenly shot out from that area, turning into golden runes that circled around, forming a soaring light array that surrounded the tentacle in the center.
"It's the Imperial Astronomer …" Yuan Tiangang looked in that direction, and his expression suddenly froze.
Immediately after, a loud roar of a beast came from the north of the Great Tang's official residence.
A strange, pitch-black figure of a thousand feet tall threw its head back and roared into the sky. The evil demon had a huge bull's head, but its cheeks were covered with a layer of white bone, as if it was wearing a white bone mask.
Its upper body was no different from that of a human, but its lower body was made up of seven or eight thick octopus-like tentacles that supported its body to move forward. Every time it passed by an area, it would collapse the hall there, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.
"The palace was also attacked …" Cheng Yaojin frowned.
"How dare you, demonic beast!"
"Accept your death quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two powerful voices rang out from the palace. Two huge men in shining armor rose from the ground. One of them held a golden truncheon, while the other held a pitch-black Dragon Whip. They pressed down on the bull-headed demon.
"Boom!"
The sound of explosions sounded one after another, and the entire Chang 'an City fell into a violent turmoil.
Streaks of black smoke rose from all over the city. Like black demonic dragons, they rushed into the sky and wreaked havoc in the sky above Chang 'an. The ordinary people in the city might not have any impression of this, but many cultivators still remembered the scene of the Jinghe Dragon King leading thousands of ghosts into Chang 'an. But this time, the situation was clearly more serious than that.
Seeing this, the young Master and the others stood up, a trace of confusion in their eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, it seems that there is a big mess. If you need our help, just say the word. We will not shirk our duty," the Chief Demon King said with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin ignored him and turned to Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang didn't panic at all. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Imperial Astronomer has been attacked. Logically speaking, the city protection formation should have been activated immediately. However, only the Imperial Astronomer's own protection formation has been activated. Something must have happened over there. I have to go back first. I'll leave this place to you."
"Okay," Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.
Yuan Tiangang formed a seal with his fingers, and there was a flash of light under his feet. Immediately, an Eight Trigrams Array appeared.
He rubbed his fingers and snapped his fingers. The hexagram position under his feet shifted from the Gen position to the Li position in an instant. His figure also disappeared in an instant.
"Lu Huaming, listen to my order," Cheng Yaojin looked to the side of the square and shouted.
"Your disciple is here." Lu Huaming immediately flew up and landed in front of the martial arts platform.
"Quickly mobilize all the Hall Masters and all the disciples of the Tang government. Rescue and evacuate the people of Chang 'an City. Do not delay." Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and threw out a token.
"Yes." Lu Huaming did not waste any time. He took the token and turned to leave.
"Remember, rescue the people is the primary task. Killing the demons is secondary," Cheng Yaojin said.
"Yes." Lu Huaming responded. His figure had already flown away.
"All Feather Spirit Guards, listen to my order. Immediately return to the Imperial City and protect the inner court of the Imperial Palace. Do not let the demons take a step in," Cheng Yaojin continued.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, let us also do our part." Fairy Blue Lotus frowned and stepped forward.
"Amitabha. I can also return to the Transforming Life Temple and mobilize the monks to help," Monk Kongdu raised his palm and said.
"Don't worry, the chaos in Chang 'an City will only last for a moment. The situation will be stabilized in a moment. You don't have to be too anxious," Cheng Yaojin said after a moment of hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, it seems that you still don't trust us. We really want to help," Demon King Kui said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Kui, it's better not to cause trouble at this time. Otherwise, people will really suspect that your Demon King's Stronghold is behind this." Young Master, who had been silent, stood up and said.
Demon King Kui glanced at him, sneered, and said no more.
"Dong dong …"
Suddenly, a rush of bell chimes came from afar.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this sound, his expression suddenly changed.
Shen Luo looked in the direction of the sound, and his expression could not help but become dignified.
Because the place where the bell chimes came from was none other than the Great Mercy Temple where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was located.
