In that battle, there were only about 96,900 people left in the Mei Mountain lineage.
There were less than 60,000 mortal survivors, and all the cultivators were dead or injured. The tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city were the ones who survived slightly better.
The Mei Mountain lineage was severely injured, and Mei City could no longer be restored. If not for Lü Chunyang, Yang Jian, and the others' timely reinforcements, the Mei City lineage would have been destroyed today.
The most ironic thing was that the executioner who activated the annihilation array was the City Lord, Mei Guihun.
"City Lord, why did you do this!?!"
Zhang Boshi knelt in front of Mei Guihun and covered his face as he cried. The generals of Mei City were all silent. Many people looked sad, and many people's eyes were filled with despair.
Mei Guihun did not dare to look up. He only sat there with his head lowered and did not say anything. There was a cold smile on his lips.
A few more generals went forward to ask. Their tragic emotions moved everyone.
Finally, Mei Guihun muttered, "Isn't it good for everyone to look for Father together?"
It was bone-chilling, and he felt a chill crawling into his body from the soles of his feet.
They were worried that there were other arrangements in Mei City. At that moment, they had already settled the survivors on the plains in the southeast and set up camp.
However, the camp was also gloomy and miserable, and there were endless cries.
"Ahem." Ao Ji, who was hiding at the back, coughed and said to Yang Jian, "I have a treasure that I picked up along the way. It's a little vicious and I'm about to destroy it. It can capture a person's essence soul and imprint a talisman on it. His essence soul will have to answer whatever you ask him. "
That treasure should be used by the Dragons to torture prisoners. Ao Ji could not say that the vicious item belonged to the Dragons, but the fact that it was "picked up along the way" was really …
Don't care about the details.
"Gonglin," Yang Jian said, "You can decide if you want to use it or not."
Yao Gonglin sighed and said, "Since we already know that today's tragedy was set up by a mighty figure of the demon race, why torture her?"
"That's not appropriate." One of them said with tears in his eyes, "If there are spies from the demon race among us, wouldn't it be a disaster in the future?"
At this moment, among the generals of Plum City, Guo Shen and Zhi Jian, who had the highest prestige, stood up and said that they would use this treasure for Mei Guihun …
This treasure was a lotus platform with seven petals. It was surrounded by a layer of killing intent.
Ao Ji placed the lotus platform in Yang Jian's hands and explained how to use it. Then, he quietly retreated, not wanting to be the bad guy.
Yang Jian didn't say anything. He raised his lotus platform and covered Mei Guihun's head, allowing him to tear apart Mei Guihun's essence spirit.
"No, no, don't do this to me …" Mei Guihun suddenly screamed, "I don't want to say it! I don't want that! "
The generals could not bear it. Yang Jian also frowned and sighed. He looked up at the stars in the sky.
Above Mei Guihun's head, a small person was slowly pulled out. It was her Immortal Soul. However, this Immortal Soul was a little strange. It was surrounded by a layer of Immortal Qi, but within the Immortal Qi, there was a cold power of resentment and death.
"Death Qi?" Lu Chunyang cried out involuntarily.
Yang Jian flipped his hand and pressed down. The seven-petal lotus platform spun faster, and the small person was sucked into the bottom of the lotus platform.
When it appeared again, Mei Guihun's essence spirit was sitting on the lotus platform. Her body was entangled with talisman chains, and her face was calm and expressionless.
Lü Chunyang was the first to ask, "Where did the death Qi outside of your essence spirit come from?"
Mei Guihun's essence spirit and physical body showed a hint of struggle at the same time. However, as the talisman chains flashed, the struggle quickly calmed down.
Mei Guihun said in a calm tone, "The death Qi is because I died long ago. It's just that my immortal soul was extracted and refined into a demon soul, and then returned to this physical body. But I'm no longer human, ghost, immortal, or demon. I can't enter reincarnation after death, and I can't transcend in life. "
"Who did it!?" Zhang Boshi's eyes were red.
"My uncle, Mei Linhan. And the great figure of the demon race, the culprit who destroyed my Mei Mountain lineage, Mei Kongmei."
Zhi Jian was furious, and his hair gradually turned white. He stomped his feet and cursed, "That damned Mei Linhan!"
Yao Gonglin sighed. "How did they manage to avoid our eyes and ears and kidnap the castellan?"
"They didn't kidnap me. Everything was done in a secret chamber under the castellan's mansion," Mei Guihun said quietly, his eyes empty.
Yang Jian asked, "In Mei City, are there any other spies other than you and Mei Linhan?"
Mei Guihun said, "No, she felt that she could destroy Mei City at any time after controlling me."
A general asked sorrowfully, "Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell us about this?! "
"At first, I didn't dare to say it. Later, I couldn't turn back. I was afraid that if this matter was exposed, my reputation would be ruined. So I gradually fell into it and couldn't get out. In the end, my soul was controlled by Mei Kongmei. I did whatever she wanted me to do, like a slave. "
Zhang Boshi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "She used such methods! How dare you! "
"Boshi! Don't ask! "Yao Gonglin interrupted Zhang Boshi, but Zhang Boshi had already asked …
The primordial spirit on the lotus platform trembled slightly. Even though its mind was controlled by the magic treasure, it was still afraid.
"There was a gap in Mei Linhan's Dao heart, and his desire for power clouded his mind. He was led by Mei Kongmei to become a demon step by step …" Mei Guihun murmured. "Later, Mei Linhan imprisoned me in the underground of the castellan's mansion. In order to break my Dao heart, they did everything they could. My uncle even humiliated me in all kinds of ways, sullied my body, and threw me into a pigsty and a pile of dirty ox demons …"
"Enough!" Guo Shen shouted. Mei Guihun stopped talking, his body still trembling.
He was such a hateful person, but he was also somewhat pitiful.
Yang Jian could feel that there was a ball of fire in the hearts of the generals of Mei City. This ball of fire seemed like it could erupt at any time like a volcano.
The main culprit was Mei Kongmei, the ancestor of Mei Mountain.
At this time, it seemed that they had asked all the questions that needed to be asked. No one knew how to deal with Mei Guihun.
If they killed him directly, it would inevitably leave a knot in the hearts of the generals of Mei City. However, Mei Guihun had committed such a crime. If they did not kill him, it would be difficult to comfort the hundreds of thousands of mortals and immortals of Mei City who had died.
Yang Jian suddenly spoke, but he still asked, "Why did Mei Kongmei go through so much trouble to destroy you?"
"She never thought of letting us go, but everything that happened today was Mei Linhan's idea. We tried to contact Mei Kongmei, but we could not find any trace of her. "
Yang Jian asked again, "Then why didn't she destroy Mei City earlier?"
"With a controllable Mei City blocking here, other human forces would not be able to reach here. Instead, it would be a kind of protection for Mei Mountain."
Yao Gonglin said with a trembling voice, "Then … the previous crusades against Mei Mountain all failed because of one reason or another … it was you?"
"It was me, or Mei Linhan secretly did it," Mei Guihun said indifferently. Her words made the generals of Mei City even more incredulous. She said, "Other than the protection of Mei Mountain, Mei City also has the effect of being a whetstone for the demon race. When the demon race trains their troops, or when Mei Kongmei wants to punish some of the demon race that she could not tolerate, she would transfer those demons to Mei Mountain before the war and use us to eliminate them. "
"Enough!"
Zhi Jian shouted, his eyes filled with tears. "What do you think the blood of the Mei Mountain bloodline is!"
Mei Guihun was silent. She could not answer this question, so she could only remain silent.
"Haha." Yao Gonglin took a few steps back and looked up at the sky. His lips were pale. "Mei City, Mei Mountain's soul, the crusade against Mei Mountain … hahaha! It's all such a scam, so laughable! Laughable! "
After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and he was supported by his good friend beside him.
Ao Ji sighed and looked at Yang Jian. He asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"
"We can only kill her." Yang Jian held the three-pointed, double-edged spear and slowly walked to Mei Guihun. He took back the seven-petal lotus platform and returned it to Ao Ji. The tip of the spear was pressed against Mei Guihun's neck.
She was dressed in red and prostrated there. Sweat drenched her temples, and she panted heavily. However, there was a hint of anticipation and relief in her eyes …
"Perfected Lord!" Zhang Boshi shouted from the side, but he swallowed the rest of his words.
"Let me do it," Lü Chunyang suddenly said. He floated behind Yang Jian and looked at Yang Jian meaningfully.
He understood that there were many generals in Mei City, and there would definitely be one or two people who could be used by Yang Jian. Therefore, he did not want Yang Jian to bear the infamy of killing the City Lord of Mei City, in case someone spread any rumors.
"Alright." Yang Jian understood his brother's intentions. He put away the three-pointed, double-edged spear and turned around.
Lü Chunyang raised his sword. It did not leave any wounds on Mei Guihun's body, but it shattered her soul.
Suddenly, an iron-blooded man burst into tears. Many Mei City generals cried bitterly. Zhang Boshi was like a child, crying and kicking his legs on the grass.
The death of their relatives, brothers, and good friends was a blow to them, but it was not as great as the sudden collapse of their beliefs.
Yao Gonglin lamented, "Ten thousand years of pride are all empty words. The bones of the three mountains are all in vain!"
A general raised his head and roared, "Mei Kongmei! I want to skin you! I'll pull out your tendons! I'll burn your demonic soul! "
His immortal soul trembled, and he looked like he had fallen to the devil.
Around him, a few Heavenly Generals, the experts of the Dragon Palace, the people of the Immortal Dao of the Middle Continent, and a few experts of the Wu people were all silent.
However, they also felt a sense of common hatred for the enemy. They felt that the demons were too vicious and scheming. They played the Mei Mountain lineage in the palm of their hands and controlled their life and death.
A Heavenly General asked, "Perfected Lord! Why don't we take down Mei Mountain tonight? Our troops are enough! "
"A general cannot change his orders, or the soldiers will not be trustworthy," Yang Jian said. "We will attack the mountain at dawn. This matter has been decided. All troops, return and wait for orders. Gonglin … "
"Perfected Lord!"
"Perfected Lord Erlang!"
A group of Mei Mountain generals rushed over. Zhi Jian and Guo Shen led them and knelt on one knee in front of Yang Jian.
Yao Gonglin raised his head and shouted, "Perfected Lord, please let us take the lead!"
"Perfected Lord, please grant our wish!"
Yang Jian nodded lightly. "The troops of Mei City can join us and charge with me tomorrow! At dawn, we will take down Mei Mountain! "
Zhang Boshi's body trembled as he raised his head and roared, "Kill! Kill all these demons! Kill them all! "
The wind blew past, filled with sobs.
