"Let's do it here," Yang Jian said in a low voice. At the side, Bai Ze nodded gently and slowly swept his gaze forward.
The two of them stood outside the north gate of a large city, as if they were saying something to the dead city of the mortal world.
The empty streets whistled as the wind blew. There was always a feeling of emptiness that made one's heart feel stifled.
Yang Jian took out an incense table from his black tortoise belt and burned three incense sticks. He lowered his head and paid his respects to the city in front of him, but he did not know what to say.
"Let me recite the funeral rites."
Bai Ze cleared his throat and cupped his hands in front of him. He bowed deeply. This was to respect the dead and persuade them to return to their souls.
Then, Bai Ze chanted in an ancient tune. A hint of sorrow circulated and some consolation prayers. The entire city gradually filled with cries.
The scorching sun in the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds of unknown origin.
Yang Jian nodded and opened his vertical eye. He saw layers of thin figures in front of him.
As Bai Ze's chanting continued to rise and fall, more and more figures appeared from the ground. The figures kept overlapping and gathered at various parts of the city gate, but they could not take half a step out of the city gate.
Yang Jian raised his head with his hands behind his back and slowly closed his eyes.
The countless figures in the city slowly knelt down and sobbed softly.
The souls could not speak and could only cry.
At the City God Temple in the city, the ghostly servants stood in formation, but they hid in the distance and did not dare to approach the north city gate.
An hour later, Bai Ze finally stopped praying and said, "Let's send them on their way."
Yang Jian raised his hand and tapped his forehead gently. A faint yellow pillar of light shot into the sky and condensed into the image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc under the dark clouds.
The image was like a door. Gusts of cold wind blew in the world. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc rotated gently and emitted countless dark yellow halos that scattered towards the city.
Bai Ze said loudly, "Living beings die in vain and have resentment in their hearts. How would they know that they are fated to be. Everyone, go to the afterlife and gather in front of the Village Viewing Platform in the Netherworld! If you take this path, you can be reborn as a human. Don't let down this Supreme's painstaking efforts. "
The cries grew louder. The vengeful spirits did not leave. They pulled their friends and relatives, hugged their parents and children, and paced back and forth on the ground.
Although Yang Jian could not bear to do so, he did not want this place to become a ghost city, preventing the millions of humans from reincarnating.
He steeled his heart and activated the power of his Divine Eye. The shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc began to spin continuously. It emitted a little suction force and began to take the initiative to absorb the soul.
A ghost messenger from the Underworld urged, "Immortal Erlang prayed for you to return, saving you from all kinds of hardships on the road to the Yellow Springs. You can enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation even if you don't enter the Judge's Hall. What other grievances do you have?"
Yang Jian suddenly said, "I will definitely sacrifice the primordial spirit of the culprit who poisoned all of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cries that filled the sky gradually subsided. Numerous illusory figures rose into the sky, blotting out the sun. It was a rather magnificent sight.
Bai Ze whispered a few words into Yang Jian's ear. Yang Jian nodded gently and watched the city of vengeful spirits return to the Netherworld.
Yang Jian's Divine Eye contained the mysteries of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. When the shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc appeared in the dark clouds, the Yama Lords of the ten halls also heard Yang Jian's "orders" and had already arranged for the ghost messengers to receive them in the Netherworld.
Perhaps in Yang Jian's eyes, there were a lot of humans in the city. However, in the eyes of the Netherworld that accepted the five continents of the Primordial World and the three thousand Great Worlds, the million souls were not too hard work.
There were enough ghost messengers in the Netherworld. It was not a problem to deal with them.
When the souls in the sky disappeared, the city withered and became desolate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yang Jian cupped his hands and bowed to the city. The three immortal incense sticks on the incense table curled up and could burn for a hundred years.
"The people will move in a hundred years."
Yang Jian said softly. Bai Ze took out four jade talismans and floated them around the city. Then, he activated the array formation.
The entire city was filled with thick fog, but a simple maze was set up.
The ghost messengers returned from the City God Temple. The Black and White Double Demons bowed to Yang Jian.
"Perfected Lord, your benevolence is admirable."
"Please inform the Yama Lords after returning to the Netherworld. There are three more cities behind."
The Black and White Double Demons knew what had happened in the Yang World and did not dare to be surprised. After bowing to Yang Jian, they rushed back to the Netherworld.
At the side, Bai Ze said, "Lu Yue is a famous immortal of Jie School on the God roll. Even if you want to kill him, the God roll will protect his essence soul."
Yang Jian nodded. "I naturally know about that."
"What do you want?"
"I won't die. I'll suffer more."
Bai Ze was speechless. He recalled that Yang Jian was the person in charge of the God roll. If Lu Yue's essence soul entered the God roll, it would be equivalent to falling into Yang Jian's hands.
"Don't let this matter mess up your Dao heart."
"Let's go to the next place." Yang Jian shook his head and turned around to ride a cloud.
Bai Ze pinched his fingers to deduce his merit. He grinned and followed closely behind Yang Jian.
He stayed in every city for two hours and expiated more than a million souls each time. Bai Ze's merit and luck increased greatly in the blink of an eye.
As a result, when the old fellow headed to the last dead city, he could not help but sigh. "Ah, if I met Liu Ya now, would I be afraid that she would eat my luck? However, this merit is enough to raise her. "
"She's cultivating in the Nuwa Palace. If you want to see her, just go and see her."
"Don't. It's not good to make Goddess Nuwa feel disgusted." Bai Ze shook his head. "I've secretly read the letters from your sister and Liu Ya. I feel at ease knowing that she's safe and happy in the Nuwa Palace."
Yang Jian felt a little more relaxed. He asked, "How much debt do you owe?"
"I don't know." Bai Ze smiled bitterly. "It's fine if I don't mention the matters of the ancient times."
The fourth city was in sight. Yang Jian's gaze gradually turned solemn.
Suddenly, Bai Ze reached over and grabbed Yang Jian's arm.
Bai Ze opened his left hand and a jade token shattered.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and turned to charge towards the west without saying a word. His body turned into a ball of flames and left behind afterimages!
Lu Yue!
…
Two hours ago, in the Boundary Tablet Pass.
Li Jing and Nezha rushed over to the Boundary Tablet Pass after Yang Jian entered the Celestial Court. Nezha returned to the army and was sent by Huang Feihu to lead the troops on an expedition to the East. Li Jing wanted to wait for Yang Jian to return and greet him before returning to the North.
However, after Yang Jian returned, he rushed east. Li Jing did not have the time to meet him. He also thought that the battle in the North was stable. The generals of the Zhou Army, Jinzha, and Muzha could take charge alone. Li Jing pondered for a while and temporarily stopped in the Boundary Tablet Pass.
Li Jing thought,
Perhaps the Prime Minister was eager to take revenge, but he did not leave a few immortals at the Boundary Tablet Pass. If Lu Yue took advantage of the loophole, it would be a huge disaster.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing only stayed in the military camp for two to four hours before he heard the messenger rush over to report.
"The Azure Dragon Pass is in an emergency! A plague has broken out in the city! Thousands of people have fallen ill! "
"What?"
Li Jing suddenly stood up and grabbed the Exquisite Pagoda. He was about to rush to the Azure Dragon Pass.
However, on second thought, he felt that it might be a trick to lure him away. Moreover, he had also seen the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals above the Azure Dragon Pass. Therefore, he did not act rashly.
The Azure Dragon Pass, the Jishui Pass, and the Beautiful Dream Pass were all guarded by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Only the Boundary Tablet Pass was guarded by Li Jing alone.
He almost fell for that fellow's trick.
"Report this matter to the front army and the Prime Minister! Also, order the Azure Dragon Pass to separate the plague victims from the citizens. Do not drink water casually in the city! "
"Okay!"
The messenger left in a hurry. There were cultivators who had yet to become immortals who issued orders to inform everywhere.
That was the method that the Zhou Army had long used to transmit orders. With some Spirit Stones and gold, they could find many itinerant cultivators in the Middle Continent and use the communication jade token to transmit orders.
In the military tent, Li Jing kept pacing back and forth. He scanned with his spiritual senses and could see that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had begun to move. As they treated the citizens, they searched for Lu Yue's whereabouts.
However, a moment later, another order suddenly came to report that there were two plagues in the border towns of the Zhou Nation.
Li Jing scanned with his spiritual senses and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals pounced over. They did not gain anything.
A moment later, there were a few more places where the plague broke out in the Zhou Nation. However, they were not large and were quickly controlled by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
Li Jing pondered for a while and suddenly thought of something. He walked to the sand table.
He connected the places where the plague had broken out into a line. It seemed to be the path that Lu Yue was moving …
The other party was going to Mount Qi! The capital of the Zhou Nation!
Li Jing was shocked and immediately understood.
Lu Yue was extremely cunning and afraid of death. Why would he come to the Boundary Tablet Pass to cause trouble?
Moreover, there were Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals everywhere. They had set up an inescapable net in the Zhou Nation. It was impossible for Lu Yue to avoid all the spies and return to the Boundary Tablet Pass.
Li Jing took a deep breath and walked out of the tent with the Exquisite Pagoda.
He rode a cloud and sped towards the west.
If he could capture and kill Lu Yue, it would be a huge contribution. He could also avenge the countless citizens who had died in vain!
Li Jing's eyes burned with anger. His figure flashed across the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In an alley at the Boundary Tablet Pass, an old beggar who was lying in the corner as if he was waiting for death slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up shakily and walked towards the entrance of the alley. He held the broken bowl in his hand and swayed. The pedestrians avoided him when they saw him.
"Old man!"
In a stall at the side, a young girl shouted softly. She jogged over and took two meat buns from her stall. She placed them in the old man's bowl.
"Oh, thank you, thank you. Good people are rewarded. Good people are rewarded."
The beggar hurriedly nodded and bowed to thank her. The little girl smiled shyly and turned to run back to the stall to continue waiting for customers.
The old beggar cupped his hands and ate the meat buns happily. He turned the corner in front and walked to a well.
Looking at the well in front of him, the old beggar sighed softly. He raised his hand and grabbed a bun. He breathed into the bun and the bun quickly turned jade-green.
His hand trembled and the bun fell into the well. The old beggar sighed.
"For this matter, I endured the pain of my essence soul being severed. I have to succeed no matter what. I have to make your Dao heart lose balance no matter what."
After saying that, he coughed twice and continued to eat another bun. He slowly walked towards the city wall.
The plague had already been planted. Next, it was time to find an updraft and scatter some poisonous fog.
This time, it was a hundred times the dosage of the previous four cities. It would only take a moment to destroy the citizens of the city and hundreds of thousands of Zhou soldiers.
Yang Jian, Yang Jian, do you think you're the only one who can use the Essence Soul Avatar Technique?
Heh.
"Uncle, do you want some water?"
The young girl at the stall shouted softly.
The old beggar paused and his fingers trembled slightly. Then, he squeezed out an ugly smile. "No need, I'm not thirsty."
With that said, he turned and walked away, looking like he was about to escape.
An invisible and colorless fragrance wafted over. The soldiers guarding a corner of the city wall went limp at the same time. The old beggar's figure appeared on the city wall and looked at the smoke-filled city.
He raised his hand and grabbed a bulging cloth bag with trembling hands. He was about to pull the rope.
Buzz —
A Sword Light suddenly appeared. The old beggar clearly could not react in time and his wrist was cut by the Sword Light.
The cut was neat and bloodless. The Sword Light was cold!
The cloth bag flew with the severed hand. Following that, another Sword Light flashed, piercing through the severed hand and sending it flying a thousand feet away.
A spirit talisman floated over and sealed the mouth of the cloth bag, severing the connection between the treasure and its owner.
"Who is it?"
The old beggar trembled and turned his head to glare angrily. He did not feel his severed arm at all.
Among the soldiers lying a thousand feet away, a figure slowly got up. He took off his helmet and revealed his Dao hoop. His long hair fluttered in the wind and a few swords floated beside him.
"Sword Immortal, Pure Yang."
The old beggar's eyes narrowed slightly as killing intent appeared!
