Two demons at the Qi Transformation Realm had died just like that. This not only shocked all the other demons, but also stunned the Soul Formation Realm demon.
This was a rhinoceros demon, and it was at the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. Even if it wanted to take down this rhinoceros demon, it would have to expend some effort. Unexpectedly, there was someone in the city who could kill it so easily. This made it feel a chill in its heart.
There was an immortal in the city. It had to be one, and a very powerful one at that, at least stronger than it.
There would not be any Wu people in the city. Wu people did not live with the human race. The Wu people thought that the human race was an inferior race, and they had always looked down on the human race. This was because the human race was created, and they were born from heaven and earth.
Similarly, the Goblin also looked down on the human race. The Goblin here was a real Goblin, not an ordinary demon.
But these Goblin thoughts inevitably affected the other demons. In particular, many demons directly said that the human race was created by Nuwa, and Nuwa was a famous senior of the Goblin. Therefore, the human race should be enslaved by the Goblin.
But the human race lived on the ground, and the Goblin territory was in the sky. Therefore, the Goblin did not pay much attention to the human race.
But there were some powerful immortals among the human race, and some immortals even became disciples of the saints. This was something that the Goblin knew. No matter what, the human race still had saints, and the Three Pure Ones were among them.
In fact, the leaders of the Goblin did not think that the Three Pure Ones were humans. The Three Pure Ones were formed from the essence of the Great God Pangu, and were not real humans at all. It was just that the Three Pure Ones took care of the human race, so they gave the Three Pure Ones some face. Even if they gave face to the Three Pure Ones, they did not care about the human race.
This time, nine out of the ten Golden Crows were killed by Hou Yi, which caused Demon Emperor Jun to be furious. This was his son. Although he did not value him that much, he was still his son. Hou Yi killed him just like that, without even a greeting, and without any explanation.
Although he was angry, he still knew the consequences, so he asked Lu Ya for revenge. Lu Ya killed Hou Yi, but the smart Lu Ya did not take the blame for Emperor Jun, and let the Wu people know the truth.
The members of the Wu Tribe had always been hot-tempered. Otherwise, Gong Gong would not have crashed into Mount Buzhou just because he lost a fight. He even knocked down the mountain and almost caused the sky to collapse.
The Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were dissatisfied and went to the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi ruled the Heavenly Realm together, and they were one body. The two emperors were naturally unwilling, and in the end, a war was triggered.
The Goblin and the Wu people had started a full-scale war. There were not so many Goblin in the sky, but there were many Wu people on the ground. The Wu people liked to live in the mountains, which conflicted with the Goblin on the ground. There were many conflicts between the two sides. Now that the Goblin in the sky had descended to the human world, the monsters on the ground immediately responded to attack the Wu people.
This team of monsters was under the command of a Goblin in the sky. The leader of the team was a Spirit Transforming Realm monster. He was a mountain king, and he was a Spirit Squirrel. Although his body was not big, he was quite capable. This time, he volunteered to come out and look for food.
Demons who had reached the Qi Transformation realm had the ability to abstain from food to a certain extent, but they could not go without food. Golden Immortals could do it, but there were too few demons at the Golden Immortal realm. Needless to say, there were also many demons with sentience who had yet to reach the Qi Transformation realm. These demons could not go without food.
After ten days of chaos, the entire Untainted Land suffered from a large-scale production. The abundant food before was not enough, so the Spirit Squirrel led a team out to look for food.
The prefectural city where Gu Zheng was located became his target. However, there were too many ordinary monsters this time, so it took him nearly a month to get there. After that, these monsters would make everyone into human jerky and bring them back for everyone to eat.
This was not the first time this had happened. The Spirit Squirrel had done it once before, but it was in a small town with only a few thousand people, so they were eaten up very quickly. This time, the Spirit Fox suggested that there was a city here, so they might as well rob it directly. Before reaching the Spirit Transforming Realm, the Spirit Fox had passed by this place, disguised as a human, and entered the city to eat a lot of good food.
It understood the situation in the city and knew that there were no powerful people here, so it suggested to come here.
Regardless of whether it was the fox spirit or it, they both thought that this was an easy task. They would definitely be able to bring back a large amount of rations and then defeat the Sorcerer Tribe in one go. However, they did not expect that before they even entered the city, its two capable helpers had already died.
"A fairy weapon, and a powerful one at that!"
The Spirit Squirrel said to himself, his eyes darting around. Whether it was the fairy weapon or the immortals in the city, he did not have the confidence to deal with them. At this moment, he was already thinking of retreating.
However, he knew that it would not be so easy to run away now, since he had been so arrogant when he came. He had a premonition that the immortals in the city had their eyes on him. As long as he ran, they would definitely chase after him.
"Don't be afraid. I will block the enemy's experts. Attack with all your might!"
The Spirit Squirrel suddenly shouted. The monsters who were frozen in place all turned around, stared at the city wall, and began to howl again.
Attack, all of them attack. All of the demons charged forward. The catapults on the city walls once again shot out arrows. Not long after, a few demons died to the arrows. Even more demons were injured.
The Spirit Squirrel stared at the chaotic scene and did not care. Instead, he kept giving orders. Attack, attack forcefully. No matter what, they had to enter the city.
Under his forceful orders, some agile monsters really climbed up the city wall.
These monsters had a certain level of strength to begin with. They were all much stronger than mortals. Although the arrows were powerful and posed a threat to them, there were still too few of them compared to the number of monsters. There was no way they could stop so many monsters.
There were hundreds of monsters, and there were only about a hundred crossbows.
"Die!"
Just as a demon climbed up the city wall, Ma Duo raised a large saber and roared loudly. His large saber emitted a dazzling light. This was because he had infused immortal energy into the saber. The large saber that he had infused with immortal energy suddenly became bigger. A monkey demon that had just climbed up was cut in half by him just like that.
"Immortal weapon!"
The Spirit Squirrel's eyes narrowed slightly. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that the person on the city wall was holding an immortal weapon. Soon, he realized that there was more than one immortal weapon. There were two other immortal weapons that had similarly transformed and were killing the monsters that climbed up the city wall.
"There are immortals in the city. There are more than one powerful immortal. No, I have to leave!"
Just as the city wall was in chaos, the Spirit Squirrel suddenly turned around and quickly flew into the distance. He had already reached the Soul Formation realm and could fly without the help of external objects.
The elephant he was riding watched in shock as its king left without going to the city wall to help. It was very confused.
"Since you are here, don't leave!"
Just as the Spirit Squirrel flew out, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The Spirit Squirrel hurriedly stopped and saw a young man in white standing in the air in front of him.
"No, this is an illusion technique!"
The Spirit Squirrel immediately conjured a spell. Soon, he saw the real person under the white clothes. It was a child about seven or eight years old.
Gu Zheng's illusion technique was very simple. Not to mention Deity Transformation Realm cultivators, even Qi Transformation Realm cultivators would not be able to deceive him. His illusion technique was meant for mortals to see and not real immortals.
After seeing that the other party was just a child, the Spirit Squirrel heaved a sigh of relief.
But soon, he frowned and asked, "You are the immortal who killed two of my brothers in the city?"
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to answer, he continued, "No matter who you are or who your master is, you should know that the Goblin is now at war with the Wu people. What you are doing is not good for you or your master. Once the Goblin comes for revenge, you..."
Before he could finish, his eyes suddenly widened. Gu Zheng shook his head gently.
This demon talked too much. Gu Zheng did not want to talk too much with him. There were still a large number of demons attacking the city. There were already casualties on the city wall. Mado and the rest could not stop them alone.
Although they had immortal weapons that could greatly increase their strength, their cultivation level was still too low. Their immortal power could not last for long.
Just as the Spirit Squirrel was about to threaten Gu Zheng with a long speech, Gu Zheng had already made his move. An immortal sword flew from behind him and pierced through his body.
Gu Zheng's cultivation level was much higher than his. In addition, Gu Zheng had many powerful immortal spells and spells. It was not difficult for him to deal with an early-stage Soul Formation squirrel.
On the city wall, the battle had reached its climax.
Mado, Wu You, and Aunt Cui were showing their power. They all had low-level immortal weapons that Gu Zheng had given them. Even demons with Level Five Internal Force would be doomed if they did not have immortal weapons. Not to mention now, even in the future, there would be a huge difference between having immortal weapons and not having immortal weapons. Needless to say, in this era where immortal weapons were the most important thing.
Unfortunately, there were only three of them. There were hundreds of demons. Some of them still managed to rush up the city wall.
More and more demons climbed up the city wall. Before they could get excited, white hairs suddenly flew over. They only felt a pain in their heads, and then their consciousness slowly faded. Outside the city, Gu Zheng, who was floating in the air, looked at the horsetail whisk in his hand with satisfaction.
This horsetail whisk was not of a high level, but it was a good weapon in group battles. Each of the 999 white hairs of the horsetail whisk could be turned into a sharp arrow and pierced through the bodies of others. It was perfect for dealing with a large number of Little Goblin.
All the demons were killed. Most of them were killed by Gu Zheng. A small number of them were killed by Wu You, Mado, and the rest. There were also a few unlucky ones who died under the crossbow arrows.
"Young Master!"
Mado was covered in blood. When Gu Zheng landed on the city wall, he hurriedly came over and bowed. He was very excited about this battle. After killing so many demons with his own hands, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
His village had been harmed by monsters, and he hated monsters the most in his life. However, he had never thought that he would have the chance to kill monsters like this. He hated monsters, and he had been ruthless before. It was impossible to tell that he was a kind-hearted person.
"Young Master!"
Wu You and Aunt Cui also walked over. The two of them had killed many demons. The immortal artifacts that Gu Zheng had given them were really good. Unfortunately, they had expended too much energy. Now, they felt weak and had no strength left.
"All of you did well!"
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. Ampoules and the rest also went up to the city wall. Looking at the demon corpses on the city wall and below the city wall, they were scared out of their wits.
"This is only a part of the demons. They will come again. Increase the number of crossbow arrows. In addition, dispose of these demon corpses. Leave behind anything useful, especially the bones. We need to make a batch of bone arrows!"
Gu Zheng instructed. Then, he floated down the city wall and returned to the Wu House to cultivate.
He was right. This was only the first batch. The Great Lich-Demon War had already begun. The squirrel demon's words had also confirmed everything. Now, the entire Untainted Land was filled with battlefields. Even Gu Zheng did not know where the Pure Land was.
Perhaps there was a real Pure Land, but these mortals could not reach it. The fact that this batch of demons could come proved that there was a battlefield with the Lich-Demon War nearby. If this batch of demons did not return, they would definitely attract the attention of the Lich-Demon War. The next batch of demons that came might be even more powerful.
He was only in the Void Return realm, not even Jin Xian. Even though he had two Connate treasures, he still felt powerless.
He did not know how long he could protect this city. Perhaps the next time, or the time after that, there would be enemies that even he could not deal with. He had the Book of Life and Death in his hands and other means. Even if Daluo Jinxian came, he could temporarily escape. However, once he left, no one in the city could be kept. They would all die in the end.
In fact, he wanted to bring Wu You and the rest away from the city. With his strength, it was not difficult to bring them to live in seclusion. This way, they would not be targeted by large groups of demons. However, he could not make up his mind. Therefore, he organized the people in the city to defend.
Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost just like that. Gu Zheng could not bear to lose it. He often said that Mado was kind, but sometimes, he was like Mado. He cared about many things and could not give up.
Perhaps it was because he was also a human and did not want his compatriots to suffer. After all, there were too many innocent people here.
After the demons attacked the city, everyone in the city became more active. They all understood that danger was around them and could appear at any time. The world was no longer peaceful.
Some timid people left the city and wanted to hide outside. Gu Zheng did not stop these people, nor did he let Ampoules stop them. There was no safe place in this large-scale war. However, if they scattered, some lucky people might be able to hide. After all, the Untainted Land was so big that it was impossible for them to find every place.
In this way, some seeds could be left behind.
After a month, quite a number of people left. A total of ten to twenty thousand people left. However, another hundred crossbows and eight hundred bone arrows were made this month. They were all made from the sharp bones of the demons. They were much stronger than the original iron-headed wooden arrows.
Two months later, smoke signals rose again. This time, without Gu Zheng's instructions, everyone went up the city walls. Now, there were four hundred crossbows and arrows on the city walls. However, there were only fifteen hundred bone arrows. There were only a few suitable demon bones. The fifteen hundred bone arrows had to be used in key areas. For this, they had also prepared eight thousand ordinary wooden arrows.
Kerosene and rolling stones were all prepared. Faced with the possible danger, the people in the city were not as flustered as before.
After winning once, many people thought that they would definitely win a second time.
The smoke signals were lit very quickly. There was a beacon tower 30 miles away. As long as there was a warning ahead, it would light up immediately. Therefore, as long as the smoke signals were lit up, there would be a continuous stretch.
Gu Zheng also stood on the city walls. He did not know the strength of the opponents this time. However, if it was the same group of Goblin people sent last time, they would definitely be stronger than last time. After all, they had been completely wiped out last time. No matter how stupid they were, they would not send people of the same strength again.
Not long after seeing the smoke signals, a black mass appeared in the distance. This made Gu Zheng's heart tighten.
This time, the speed was much faster than last time. This also meant that the opponents this time were much stronger than last time.
The rolling dust in the distance was quickly discovered by the people in the city. Many people gripped their weapons tightly, waiting for the opponents to come closer.
After a while, Gu Zheng's eyebrows twitched again. He had already seen that it was not demons this time, but the Wu people. The Wu people had a large group of soldiers riding various tamed beasts.
Soon, the Wu people reached the city walls. This group of Wu people had more than 1,000 people. They were all three meters tall and held various weapons in their hands. There were maces, large axes, and large swords. The Wu people were not demons. They also had weapons.
To Gu Zheng, if possible, he would rather face demons than Wu people.
The Sorcerer Tribe also had high intelligence. They also used weapons, and sometimes they even used battle tactics. Facing the Sorcerer Tribe, who were much stronger than the Human Tribe, the Human Tribe did not have any advantage.
Right now, the only advantage of the Wu people in the city was the city walls. However, the walls were only five or six meters tall. For the Wu people, who were at least three meters tall, it was not a serious obstacle.
The 1,000 Wu people stopped about a mile in front of the city walls and did not move forward.
The leader of the Shamans wore armor and looked very aggrieved. When he sized up the city in front of him, the parts of the city walls that had been destroyed by the demons had been completely repaired. Everyone looked at the Shamans and became nervous again.
The Wu people were different from the demons. The Wu people were relatively closed and did not want to interact with the outside world. Therefore, humans did not know much about the Wu people. When the Wu people had enough food and clothing, they would not go out. Therefore, they would not encounter humans and conflict would not occur.
"Kill!"
The leader of the Sorcerer Tribe suddenly raised the long blade in his hand and swung it forward. Then, he took the lead and charged forward. Under his lead, a thousand Sorcerer Tribe warriors viciously charged toward the city wall.
"Catapults, fire!"
Wu You shouted. Thousands of catapults threw boulders at the same time. Some of the Wu people were thrown off their horses. However, the Wu people who fell on the ground quickly got up. Those whose mounts were not injured got back on their mounts. Those whose mounts were injured rushed over by themselves.
