The people on the mountain were different from the people at the foot of the mountain, even though they looked the same most of the time. However, in this immortal city ruled by Zhenxianmeng, the people with the identity of Zhenxianmeng were obviously very different from the individual cultivators and civilians at the foot of the mountain.
In daily life, most of the individual cultivators were unwilling, or rather, did not dare to directly provoke the people of Zhenxianmeng, especially after the other party had revealed their identity. If they still provoked or did anything against them, it would be disrespectful to the whole of Zhenxianmeng, and it would easily attract the attention of more powerful forces.
Therefore, in normal times, the people of Zhenxianmeng could do whatever they wanted in the immortal city most of the time. Of course, they could not go too far. For example, the famous Heavenly Law Hall in Zhenxianmeng had the power to supervise the discipline. Those who were caught by the Heavenly Law Hall did not end up well.
But in general, entering Zhenxianmeng was still the dream of many cultivators in the world. However, if there was a flaw, even if it was not obvious in the past, it still became obvious at this critical moment.
Although there were undercurrents and factions in Zhenxianmeng, the few big bosses were all powerful figures, and they managed to subdue the forces in their hands. Therefore, when the signs of the apocalypse appeared again and again, the individual cultivators and civilians at the foot of the mountain could run away, but the people on the mountain almost did not leave.
It was not that no one wanted to run, it was just that they could not leave.
There were people who took the risk, but they were all dead now. When it came to dealing with deserters, it seemed that regardless of whether it was the Righteous Path or the Evil Sect, everyone's methods were similar. It was nothing more than a way to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
After the corpse was publicized, more people were silent. Not only in Fuyunji, the other major forces were in a similar situation.
Because he had completed the task of dealing with the traitor, Old Ma's position in Fuyunji rose again. At least for now, it seemed that Xue Ying already trusted him a lot. In the great hall of Fuyunji, Xue Ying would often ask Old Ma to stay behind to discuss matters.
It was the same on this day. After making careful arrangements and making sure that all the elite troops of the Floating Clouds Company were ready to fight at any moment, Blood Warbler once again checked the locations of as many as a dozen dangerous checkpoints in the Floating Clouds Company's territory that could be attacked. Only then did she sit down while rubbing her brows in a somewhat tired manner.
Old Ma was lost in thought as he looked at a square far away from the main hall. There were two people lying motionlessly on the ground. He knew that the two of them were already dead. Last night, they couldn't withstand the tension on Mount Celestial Dragon and the aura of the apocalypse. They wanted to sneak away but were caught and killed on the spot.
Old Ma did not want to know exactly how they had died. However, he understood why the two corpses had been dumped in the core area of the Floating Clouds Company's territory. The death of a spy was to be seen by the enemy, while the death of a deserter was to be seen by his own people.
He silently withdrew his gaze, looked at Xue Ying and said, "Hallmaster, continuing this stalemate isn't a solution. What should we do next?"
Xue Ying closed her eyes and said, "Let's wait."
Old Ma frowned and asked, "What are we waiting for?"
Xue Ying said, "Once Lord True Monarch gives the signal, we can start attacking those three trashes."
Old Ma's eyes lit up. "What signal?"
Xue Ying hesitated for a moment, then opened her eyes and looked at Old Ma. Old Ma was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "I was presumptuous."
Xue Ying shook her head. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Your identity is different now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. At that time, Lord Supreme only mentioned that there would be a great change in the weather and the appearance of doomsday calamity, and it was very obvious. Once it appeared, we would be able to see it. At that time, it would be our time to take action. "
"Great change in the weather? Appearance of doomsday calamity? " Old Ma murmured a few words, then looked up at the blood moon in the sky and the sea of blood outside. He smiled bitterly and said, "So this is not the worst situation?"
Xue Ying also seemed to be somewhat helpless. She nodded and said, "It should be."
The two of them didn't say anything more. It seemed that their expressions were very heavy. Even people of high status like them shuddered at this moment. None of them knew what fate awaited them.
At that moment, they seemed to have sensed something at the same time. They turned their heads and looked towards the sky outside. They saw that the blood moon in the sky suddenly brightened and trembled. Amidst the sea of blood, a strange and enormous beam of moonlight sprinkled down from the sky.
Fate was like a torrent, surging and roaring, carrying everyone into the future.
… …
The people on the mountain were very different from the people at the foot of the mountain, but there were also many similarities. There were many unfairness in this world, but some things were naturally fair. For example, the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Almost everyone faced the same thing.
Just like now, the people on the mountain saw the beam of light from the blood moon sprinkling down on the Immortal City. The people at the foot of the mountain also saw it.
The color of the beam of moonlight was much deeper than before. Although it was still dark red, the color was translucent. The light inside was like a real object. From afar, it looked like a top grade blood agate gem. It made people's hearts tremble.
The light sprinkled down. Strong winds howled in the sky. Countless dark clouds were pulled down and wrapped around the beam of moonlight by the strong winds. They gradually turned into some strange and distorted symbols that were embedded on the beam of light.
Everywhere the light went, it was blood red.
Then, the beam of moonlight directly sank into the ground. However, the beam of light didn't disappear. It still existed between heaven and earth. No one knew what the situation in the underground world was like now. However, in the Immortal City above ground, the situation also changed with the appearance of this beam of moonlight. More accurately, with the change of the blood moon in the sky, there was a huge change.
In countless dark corners, at the end of the streets and alleys, the black shadows that crawled in the empty houses all looked up at the sky at that moment.
The blood moon hung high in the sky, like a high and mighty god.
"Pata!"
This was a small sound. In a corner that no one knew, a trembling figure seemed to be unable to support his body. Then, he slowly knelt down.
He knelt down and worshipped the blood moon in the sky. His eyes turned blood-red in the darkness. He muttered some vague yet strange words, describing a kind of worship in the ancient times.
He knelt towards the blood moon. It was as if at that moment, he had completely let go of his reason. He lost his clarity of mind. In his eyes, there was only that blood moon.
His soul was occupied by a strange aura and burned away. What was left was only an empty shell. Then, a new power took over his body.
In the darkness, that person's body twisted. He howled in pain. His hands started to grow longer. His back started to arch. Even the fingers on his palms grew sharp white claws.
Silently, he had become a beast in the darkness.
