The Gates of Hell, which existed in the depths of the Nine Underworlds and represented the boundary between life and death, had actually appeared in the world of the living!
Thus, the thick fog that had not dissipated all this time had an explanation. The fog was not man-made, but a natural condensation of the laws of heaven and earth.
Because the netherworld and the blue sky did not meet. The Gates of Hell had appeared in the world of the living, so there had to be a cover.
The wandering souls that had gathered here, far more than the number of living people in Xiao Lin Town, suddenly had a reason for their appearance. The wandering souls drew closer to the Gates of Hell. This was an instinct that had nothing to do with consciousness. All the wandering souls in Maplewood City had probably gathered here. And it could be foreseen that as long as the Gates of Hell still existed, the number of wandering souls would only increase and become stronger!
But why would the Gates of Hell appear here?
Wei Yan almost did not hesitate. After understanding the meaning of the three words "Gates of Hell", he took out a bright red, simple looking incense and handed it to Zhao Lang. "Quick!"
— Of course, he had brought fire stones with him, and he was not unfamiliar with fire element daoist techniques. But he was not as fast as Zhao Lang.
He had been partners with Wei Yan for many years, so there was no need to talk about their tacit understanding. At the same time that the bright red incense was handed over, Zhao Lang had already rubbed his fingers together, and a cluster of flames leapt onto the incense, burning the not-so-small incense in an extremely short amount of time.
Only then did he say with a somewhat unsightly expression, "You only have this one red incense on you."
The incense in the Zhuang Guojun army was divided into three types: black, red, and yellow. Only people who had reached a certain status could possess them, and they were rare strategic items. Once a black letter was ignited, the entire country would fight to the death. There were not many people in the entire Zhuang Guojun who had the qualifications to ignite a black letter.
When a yellow letter was completely burned, it meant that the person who ignited the letter was in a desperate situation.
And the red letter between the two represented the danger of the city being destroyed and the land being lost!
Once a red letter was ignited, the entire Maplewood City would be shaken, and it would certainly alarm Wei Quji.
Currently, the City Guard and the Arrest Department were all tied up in Maplewood City, and Wei Quji was overseeing the City Lord's Mansion. Was Xiao Lin Town, which had not had any enemies other than wandering souls, worth Wei Quji personally making a trip? Or, if Wei Yan's judgment was wrong, because of Wei Quji's movements caused problems in Maplewood City, could he bear this responsibility?
But there was no need to think about these questions, in front of those three words.
Because … it was the gates of Hell.
It appeared in countless legends and was a miniature version of the Mythological Era.
In fact, when the red shadow suddenly lit up in front of him, Wei Quji, the master of a city, had already risen from the ground without hesitation!
He soared into the sky, and his entire body was wrapped in a whirlwind. He howled as he flew toward Little Forest Town.
Almost at the same time, Dong A, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes. No matter what, Maplewood City had to have an expert of this level overseeing it. Since Wei Quji had gone, he could not leave.
He didn't move, but his dignified voice had already spread out from outside the room. "Order all disciples that can be notified. No matter what mission or cultivation they are carrying out, they are to immediately stop and return to Maplewood City!"
It was true that the Dao Academy nurtured the hope of the Zhuang Country. Before that, there was a long process of growth. But when the country was in danger, everyone had to fight for it.
Vice Dean Song Qifang, who was also in the Dao Academy, was sitting cross-legged in front of an alchemy cauldron. He was waving a fan in his hand as he took care of the fire. He sighed very softly. "I'm getting old."
… …
In Little Forest Town, Wei Yan didn't stop after lighting up the red shadow. Instead, he immediately swung his saber horizontally. The sharp saber light almost sliced through the air before dissipating into the archway.
That's right, it disappeared without a trace, without the slightest ripple.
The following attacks were the same. Whether it was raging flames or gales, any Daoist technique that struck it was like throwing a stone into the ocean. Ling He even threw his own sword over, but it also disappeared without a trace.
It was as if it didn't exist. Not only did it not exist, but everything that came into contact with it also didn't exist.
Huang Azhan stood in front of the Gates of Hell and hesitated for a long time. He was extremely stubborn and confident in his virgin urine, but when he saw Ling He's sword vanish as well, he regretfully chose to give up.
"This vortex … should be connected to the Netherworld. With so many people dying here … our attacks will all land in the Netherworld, not in the Modern Realm. " Wang Zhangxiang frowned and analyzed, "What appears in front of us should be the reflection of the Gates of Hell. In fact, the reflection hasn't even condensed yet."
It hasn't condensed yet?
Jiang Wang had seen the words on the board before in the Great Illusionary Realm. He knew that they were Daoist words, words that explained the laws of heaven and earth. He had been thinking about what the Gates of Hell in Xiaolin Town represented. It was only now that he heard Wang Zhangxiang's analysis that he was shocked.
Then, when would the real reflection of the Gates of Hell be condensed, and in what way? And what would it bring to this place in the end?
They soon had an answer.
It was the countless wandering souls that filled Xiaolin Town. They had been killed and eradicated along the way. But now, they were swarming over and gathering in the center.
The group couldn't care about anything else. They could only repeat the same trick. After retreating a distance, they used fire Daoist techniques to draw a circle, and the group defended themselves.
If someone could see through the fog and look down from the sky, they would see countless wandering souls charging over under the attraction of some kind of power. The mighty river of wandering souls was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
The disciples from Maplewood City's Dao College, as well as Wei Yan and Zhao Lang, were like bitter reefs that had been washed away by the river.
They couldn't move, couldn't resist, and couldn't see the end!
"The wandering souls of the entire Maplewood City region have been attracted. Maybe we're going to die here? "Wang Zhangxiang smiled bitterly.
These wandering souls weren't considered powerful. They could come and go freely in the array. But the premise was that these wandering souls only wandered without intelligence and instinctively attacked when people approached. Now, these wandering souls were gathering in one place, and they were blocking the way.
There were too many, almost endless!
At least in Wang Zhangxiang's vision, they couldn't see the end of the wandering souls.
What they didn't know was that if only the wandering souls of the dead in Xiaolin Town over the years had gathered here, at the same time, they were attracting souls from further away. Now, the wandering souls of the entire Maplewood City region that hadn't dispersed were gathering here. They were moving at a speed that was far beyond what they could reach.
The dense threads of wandering souls streaked across the sky. In the Spirit Vision of the entire Maplewood City region, it was a scene that moved countless experts like a spider web.
"No." Wei Yan's voice was a little cold, and so was his heart. "The City Lord will be here soon."
No one knew how much he didn't want to ignite the red letter. He didn't want that person to see him weakly asking for help. But he couldn't. In the face of a legendary existence like the Gates of Hell, he couldn't gamble the safety of the entire Maplewood City for his own self-esteem.
Jiang Wang also watched the wandering souls that bypassed the "reef" and rushed to the Gates of Hell, but were instantly absorbed and digested. His mood was complicated and indescribable.
These wandering souls probably didn't have intelligence. So they didn't struggle, didn't howl, and didn't seem to have any regrets or pain.
However, they were all once living people. They were all souls that should have rested in peace, the souls of the living!
Among them, maybe someone had brushed past him, or someone he had known, or his neighbors, his grandparents, or his father.
His eyes were wide open as he searched for his bedridden father amidst the dense crowd of wandering souls. The man who wasn't tall but had always supported him in the sky.
Those wandering souls flashed and disappeared, like lightning flashing in all directions. He only stared in the direction of Feng Xi Town. His eyes were red, but he couldn't see them at all.
He had always lived alone, and he didn't want to show weakness. Later, he lived with An 'an, and he had to be strong as an older brother. He almost never said it, but really, he missed him!
Jiang Wang wanted to see him again, but he was afraid of seeing him.
He was afraid of the powerlessness in front of the Gates of Hell.
Suddenly, it seemed to reach a critical point, and the mighty river of wandering souls was instantly cleared by some kind of power. The phantom of the Gates of Hell above the whirlpool was incomparably clear and concrete.
In the next moment, Maplewood City Lord Wei Quji fell from the sky, wrapped in a hurricane. But the phantom of the Gates of Hell also flashed and disappeared at the same time!
Vaguely, Jiang Wang seemed to feel a breeze brush past his cheeks, but after a moment, everything in front of him changed.
The huge whirlpool disappeared, and the fog that gathered in Little Forest Town immediately dispersed.
Everything dissipated, and the netherworld and sky disappeared!
