"Who is so ruthless! They did not hesitate to use the lives of millions of mortals to set up this poisonous fog! Do they think these are millions of animals without intelligence! "
Huang Long stood on the city wall and stomped his feet as he cursed. He had deep feelings for the human race, and he was really angry when he saw this.
"The Jie School is destroying their own luck!"
Hiroshige said, "Everyone, it's more important to resist the poisonous fog first. You and I will go to two sides and block this fog from the north and south. Then, we can discuss countermeasures."
"Alright!"
Yang Jian said, "We have to go to the east too."
Hiroshige and Yang Jian looked at each other, and the former nodded slightly. "Then, according to Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian, we will go to three sides."
With that, Hiroshige and Chijing Zi went to the north and south respectively, while Huanglong Daoist flew to the east of the black fog.
The rest of the disciples flew to three different places. Not long after, beams of immortal light appeared. The immortals of Chanism used their mystical abilities and Dharma spells, using their Dharma powers to firmly resist the black fog.
Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He continued to deduce the great array recorded in the jade talisman in his hand, and sat down cross-legged to recover his Xuanqi.
Lü Chunyang and Bai Ze also followed the immortals of Chanism to resist the poisonous fog, and did not stay here.
"Disciple-Nephew, are you injured?"
Yun Zhongzi came late and asked in a gentle voice. Yang Jian hurriedly told him that he was comprehending the formation diagram.
"Let me do it." Yun Zhongzi sighed softly. "Rest for a while first, don't tire yourself out. You have been running around for the apotheosis, fighting in the South Continent, so you should rely on us Uncle-Masters. "
Yang Jian's heart ached for some reason, and he nodded in agreement.
Yun Zhongzi rose with the wind, carried the flower basket, and flew directly to the sky above the black fog, and found the center.
Yang Jian raised his head and watched Yun Zhongzi throw out yellow talismans one after another. Each talisman was one mile apart and surrounded Yun Zhongzi, gradually forming layers of round formations.
After a short while, the air above the black mist was covered with runes that Yun Zhongzi had set up, which faintly formed a battle formation.
"Rise!"
Yun Zhongzi roared in a low voice. At the same time, numerous spiritual talismans shone with a cyan light while the black fog on the ground was driven by the spiritual talismans.
At that moment, there seemed to be tens of thousands of black pythons soaring into the sky and slowly flying towards Yun Zhongzi along with the spiritual talisman.
Yun Zhongzi turned the flower basket in his hand upside down, raised his hand, and lightly pointed at the flower basket. The flower basket flew forward, and various colored lights gushed out from it, forming a whirlpool of thirty feet in diameter, sucking in the wisps of poisonous fog that were attracted by the spirit talisman.
Seeing this, Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief.
Should I rely more on my sect …
I should be relying on it a lot now. Furthermore, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was targeted at the disciples of the two sects. If they were called to enter the tribulation, they might die.
An hour later, the black fog that spread hundreds of kilometers was cleared by Yun Zhongzi with the flower basket. Yun Zhongzi carried the flower basket and flew to the Nine Heavens, throwing the flower basket into the Chaos Sea.
Although the poisonous fog could harm immortals' immortal bodies, it was nothing in the Chaos Sea. In the blink of an eye, it was assimilated by the Chaos, leaving behind only the filthy essence energy.
Yun Zhongzi returned to the pass with the flower basket. The immortals of Chanism all returned.
After the poisonous fog dissipated, the area hundreds of kilometers to the east of Boundary Tablet Pass had turned into a land of death.
The ground was withered, the stone mountains were bare, and the city was empty.
There seemed to be cries coming from the city. Yang Jian could not bear it. He decided to go to these towns later and send off the souls that had yet to enter the Netherworld.
The Huanglong Daoist rushed over angrily. "Who was so ruthless?"
"It should be Lu Yue." Yang Jian clenched his fists at the mention of that name. "I'm useless. I let his essence soul escape the last time. That's why today's matter happened!"
"Lu Yue! Ah! "The Huanglong Daoist comforted him." Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. "
Hiroshige also came from the side. "There is no poisonous fog outside the city. The army can head east at any time."
As soon as he said that, Yang Jian turned around and shouted at Huang Feihu, who had been pushed down the city wall by the immortals, "Gather the troops and advance east today!"
"Yes!"
Huang Feihu cupped his fists and agreed. He hurriedly jumped down the stairs of the city wall and mounted the Five-colored Divine Ox to rush to the military camp in the city.
Then, Yang Jian looked at Hiroshige and cupped his hands. "Uncle-Master, can you arrange for some immortals to be stationed in the various cities of the Zhou Nation? I'm afraid that Lu Yue will do this again."
"There are so many big cities in the South Continent. I'm afraid that the Immortals of Chanism will not be enough." Hiroshige frowned and said, "You are the marshal conferred by the Celestial Court. Why don't you go to the Celestial Court to ask for some reinforcements? If the South Continent worships the immortals of the Celestial Court, the Celestial Court will definitely not refuse."
Yang Jian nodded when he heard that. What Hiroshige said was indeed the truth. After all, Lu Yue was quite capable. The Immortals of Chanism could protect twenty to thirty cities, but they could not protect hundreds or thousands of cities in the Zhou Nation.
"In that case, I'll go to the Celestial Court."
Yang Jian was not shy at all. He had even made up his mind to be more respectful to Uncle Jade Emperor because of this matter.
The Immortals of Chanism did not stay in the pass. Only the Huanglong Daoist and Chijing Zi stayed behind and waited for Yang Jian to return before returning.
Yang Jian hurriedly set foot on the cloud path to the Celestial Court. Although he wanted to bring the reincarnated Lü Chunyang of Tung Wang Kung with him, he did not want Lü Chunyang to be involved in the God-Conferment Whirlpool, so he went alone.
He was not afraid that the Celestial Court would make things difficult for him. Although the Celestial Court was deep, he was not shallow either.
Chasing after the stars and the moon, Yang Jian rushed to the South-Heaven Gate at full speed. Looking at the magnificent white jade gate and the endless Heavenly Soldiers on both sides, Yang Jian felt inexplicably more at ease.
The Heavenly Soldiers guarding the gate were enough to guard against Lu Yue.
He took a step forward and was thinking about how to speak, what to say, and what tone to use when he heard a commotion coming from the South-Heaven Gate.
"Two, two, Perfected Lord Erlang! Perfected Lord Erlang Xiansheng is here! "
"Why would the Perfected Lord come to us? Does he need to use the Heavenly Gate to come to the Celestial Court? Why doesn't he just penetrate the surrounding array formation and enter … Oh my Lord, seriously! "
"Quick, quick! Stand properly and be alert! "
Hence, one of the generals and four deputy generals of the South-Heaven Gate raised their heads and puffed out their chests. They nervously grabbed their weapons and stood on both sides of the South-Heaven Gate, looking straight ahead.
Yang Jian walked past and wanted to greet them and ask them to help him pass the message. However, he realized that the other party did not stop him at all …
On second thought, Yang Jian was speechless.
He had almost forgotten that he had always been the Marshal of the Celestial Court who had been personally appointed by the Celestial Court. Naturally, he would not be stopped by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals when he came to the Celestial Court.
Looking at the excited faces around him, although Yang Jian was depressed, he still smiled and nodded at the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals before entering the South-Heaven Gate.
After he left, there was another commotion at the South-Heaven Gate.
According to his memories, Yang Jian rode a cloud to Venus Taibai's residence.
He did not have much time to stroll around, but the Celestial Court was too big. Each of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was like a Colossal World.
The news of Yang Jian entering the South-Heaven Gate spread throughout the Celestial Court like the wind.
The Celestials in the Lower Three Heavens Imperial Court were extremely excited. They could not wait to rush up to see Perfected Lord Erlang's heroic bearing. In various parts of the Celestial Court, fairies rushed to the area where Yang Jian appeared in groups. They wanted to see the invincible God of War of the Celestial Court with their own eyes.
Fortunately, Yang Jian flew quickly. Otherwise, he would definitely be surrounded.
Even so, Yang Jian was still surrounded by the fairies and Heavenly Generals in front of the Venus Taibai Immortal Abode.
However, they only surrounded him and did not dare to speak. Yang Jian cupped his hands and walked up the steps of the Venus Taibai Immortal Abode. He knocked on the door.
The last time he came, he was welcomed by a Daoist child. This time, Yang Jian knocked on the door twice, and the door opened eagerly. Venus Taibai walked out with a smile.
"Perfected Lord, please come in."
"Thank you, Senior." Yang Jian cupped his hands and thanked him. He walked into the immortal abode.
Venus Taibai said to the people outside, "Everyone, hurry back to your duty. Don't miss the important matters."
After saying that, he closed the door of the residence and allowed the fairies and Heavenly Generals outside to complain.
Before he entered the main hall, Yang Jian had already said, "Senior, I have something to ask of you. Time waits for no man. I'll make up for the pleasantries in the future."
The old man hurriedly stopped smiling and raised his horsetail whisk with his left hand. "Perfected Lord, what are you worried about?"
And so on, and so on, and so on, Yang Jian told him everything about the black fog.
"Lu Yue's cultivation level is definitely not high, but his ability to use poison and plague is superb. It's impossible to guard against," Yang Jian said. "I want to come to the Celestial Court to ask for a troop to secretly protect the various cities of the Zhou Nation. I just need to delay Lu Yue for a while when he appears."
Venus Taibai stroked his beard and pondered.
Yang Jian followed Hiroshige's words and said, "If the Celestial Court allows this, I can ask the King of Zhou to order the people of the Zhou Nation to worship the immortals of the Celestial Court and increase the power of incense offerings and merit for the Celestial Court."
Venus Taibai chuckled. "If that's the case, Your Majesty will not reject it. Let's go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall."
"Senior, can't you make the decision?"
"Of course not." Venus Taibai chuckled. "I'm a civil minister. Of course, I have to find a general when I go to battle. If it's an ordinary battle, you can go to the Hall of Enlightenment and lead hundreds of thousands of troops. However, this matter does not have a specific reason for the Celestial Court. It's not convenient to tell anyone about incense offerings. Of course, you have to have His Majesty's orders. "
Yang Jian nodded and coughed softly. "In that case, I'll go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall."
Venus Taibai smiled and squinted. He sent a voice transmission to Yang Jian, "Perfected Lord, the previous matter is in the past.
His Majesty also has his difficulties. I hope you can understand … It's best not to be rude today. After all, I have a favor to ask of His Majesty. "
"I know." Yang Jian cupped his hands and thanked Venus Taibai. Venus Taibai rode a white cloud and flew out of the Immortal Abode with Yang Jian towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Behind the white cloud, a wall of people immediately squeezed over. They were all Heavenly Generals and fairies who were not on duty today. They went to the periphery of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall as if they were watching the show.
They did not dare to enter the Lingxiao Treasure Hall casually, but it was fine for them to stroll around.
Finally, he was going to see the Jade Emperor again.
Yang Jian felt a little worried. He was not afraid of anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
…
In the South Continent, in the lobby of a restaurant in Jiepai Pass, many customers were talking about the black fog today.
Among these diners, there was an inconspicuous short and fat merchant. As he drank, he listened to these people's discussions, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves swept past the street. It was the Zhou Army preparing to leave the pass for the Eastern Expedition.
