Chapter 302 The city is broken
The city in the southeastern part of the Immortal Clan, which borders the territory of the evil cultivators, has fallen.
It was Beicheng, which Jiang Qi had arranged for Cheng Xiao to guard.
The Evil Emperor Nuonuo personally arrived in Beicheng.
The pretty girl stood barefoot on the city wall, admiring the territory she had reclaimed: "Ah Chen did a great job, the square array barrier is indeed broken."
He Chen stood behind her, holding a chain that bound Cheng Xiao.
The evil lines on Cheng Xiao's neck were so black they were dripping with ink, it was unknown how many soul cores He Chen had fed him.
The evil line on He Chen's neck was still red, its color very fresh, as if he had just fallen into evil ways.
The servants behind her did not respond. Nuonuo turned around to look at him, her gaze following the chains to Cheng Xiao.
"Ah Chen fed all his soul cores to his pets. Isn't he afraid that the pets will become too strong and turn against their master?"
He Chen's handsome eyes were filled with affection, and his voice was soft and ingratiating: "The Evil Emperor will protect me, I am not afraid."
A single sentence pleased Nuonuo, who smiled and patted He Chen's face: "Achen is good enough, I will always protect you."
He Chen rubbed his face against her hand: "It's a pity Cheng Qiang was rescued by Chu Yun. Now they're on guard, and it'll be harder to open the protective arrays around the other cities..."
"It's alright." Nuonuo didn't blame him. Her small, white hand slid down He Chen's face and tugged at the chain he was holding.
Cheng Xiao was pulled down, crawled one step, and knelt on the ground.
"Haha." Nuonuo was amused by Cheng Xiao's submissive manner: "Achen's pet is well-behaved too."
She flipped her hand and took out a strangely shaped pill, placing it in He Chen's hand: "Inspired by A-Chen, I've also raised many pets like this."
"Remember to feed him, lest he break through to the next level."
Her blood-red gemstone eyes were devoid of emotion, yet her face revealed a look of pity: "If he breaks through while I'm not around, there will be no one to protect you."
He Chen was used to being embraced, so upon hearing her words, he immediately squatted down, hugged her waist, and rested his head on her body: "Then take me with you at all times and never be separated from me."
Nuonuo loved his inseparable look, even if it was an act, she still felt a sense of satisfaction from being pleased.
Her little hand gently stroked He Chen's hair: "Ah Chen is so good, I can't bear to see you die."
……
Cheng Qiang was infected with bloodworms.
He used all his spiritual power, but he couldn't suppress the evil energy that had invaded his bones.
Chu Yun carried him and flew at full speed towards Chongcheng.
The Immortal Guardian Sect has no Venerable Cultivators. There are only a few Venerable Cultivators from the Immortal Clan who have appeared. The only one who might step in to save his master is probably Jiang Qi.
Too slow! Chu Yun was extremely anxious. The speed of the Immortal Saint was still too slow!
Even with full-speed flight and teleportation scrolls, it would still take half a month to reach Chongcheng.
His master probably won't last until Chongcheng...
Cheng Qiang really couldn't hold on any longer: "Yun'er...stop..."
Chu Yun continued at full speed: "Master, please hold on a little longer! We'll definitely be able to save you once we see Hall Master Jiang!"
Cheng Qiang's uncontrollable evil aura began to overflow, and red evil lines slowly grew on his neck.
"Yun'er, it's too late..."
Chu Yun turned around to look and saw that the evil line on his master's neck was gradually taking shape.
That's too late.
When Huo Die helped Jiang Qi attack the evil cultivator city, he discovered that many evil cultivators in the south had blood worms crawling out of their bodies. So he set up talisman fire arrays at the entrances of the cities he conquered.
Specifically for burning bloodworms.
The border of the Immortal Clan has forbidden realms, and the city has square and circular boundary arrays, as well as talisman fire arrays, so the border defenses should have been very solid.
After years of chaotic warfare, many immortal cultivators have voluntarily or involuntarily become evil cultivators. They all know how to unlock the forbidden realm, which is now practically non-existent.
When the time was right, He Chen had Cheng Xiao pretend to be a brave warrior who had miraculously survived. He then used Cheng Qiang's love for his son to trick Cheng Qiang into welcoming his son at the boundary gate, thus breaking through the defenses of Beicheng.
Once Beicheng falls, the towns behind it without the talisman fire array will be in danger.
Nuonuo raises a large number of bloodworms. Although these bloodworms are afraid of fire, the spiritual fire cannot kill them.
Only the fire array set up by Huo Die could burn the bloodworms to death.
"It is...I...have failed to properly educate my son...I was wrong."
Cheng Qiang deeply regretted not decisively cleaning up his own household in Tuna City.
The mistake has been made, and there's no use in regretting it now.
"I have ruined Beicheng... I have ruined the Immortal Clan..."
Evil energy also emanated from Cheng Qiang's mouth, and it was about to transform.
"Yun'er...if you see Cheng Xiao again...you must kill him...don't...show any mercy..."
He quickly finished giving his last words and belongings, then used his natal spiritual weapon to pierce his soul core and commit suicide.
His mentor committed suicide in front of Chu Yun. No matter how sad and heartbroken Chu Yun was, he could only use a spirit shield to seal Cheng Qiang's body and send it to the nearest talisman fire array for incineration.
The talisman fire array automatically activated upon encountering the bloodworms, and the golden flames burned Cheng Qiang's corpse and the bloodworms desperately trying to escape from it to ashes.
The immortal race, which had been living in peace for a long time, suddenly lost a city, which quickly attracted the attention of the entire race.
All cities without the talisman fire array are sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
The Immortal Clan, who were originally in a superior position, suddenly found themselves in a passive state due to the evil blood-line worms.
Only Huo Diebu's talisman fire array was effective in the entire clan; no matter how other cultivators tried to imitate the array, they couldn't burn the bloodworms to death.
When Jiang Qi fought alongside Huo Die, she gave him a military communication order, which he left behind when he left.
The only person who can contact Huo Die now is Jiang Ming.
When Jiang Ming and Huo Die were raising Shi Bao in Chongcheng, they exchanged letters.
They never chatted casually.
Now that the situation has changed and it concerns the rise of evil cultivators, Jiang Ming, under Jiang Ye's instruction, asked Huo Die for the correct method to set up the talisman fire array.
Huo Die had given Jiang Qi the method for setting up the fire array a few years ago.
What works isn't the formation itself, but the catalyst for its effectiveness: Huo Die's divine fire.
He's almost at Longquan Cliff. How can he get there in time to provide them with divine fire?
Jiang Ming, unaware of the key point, assumed that Huo Die was being secretive: "Cities without the talisman fire array can only be sealed off, and Qiwu City is no exception. Father-in-law is selfless and must know the advantages and disadvantages involved."
Huo Die frowned when he saw the message. "Still calling him father-in-law? He's still so shameless."
They used the Qiwucheng Writers Association to engage in moral blackmail with him.
He still hasn't changed his habit of using threats and coercion.
Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, and Huo Die was powerless to do anything for the time being. He could only write down some prescriptions to drive away the bloodworms and suppress the evil spirits and send them to Jiang Ming.
"Sigh..." After transmitting the prescription, Huo Die sighed deeply. The situation was bad, and it was difficult to handle!
Feng Yu also received news of the lockdown of Qiwu City and learned that the Immortal Clan needed his father-in-law's assistance.
Feng Yu was torn about whether or not to tell Shen Yao.
They came to Longquan Cliff to keep the salted fish company while they waited for the Dragon Gate to open, but whether the Dragon Gate actually exists and when it will open are all unknowns.
Evil cultivators have also appeared among the demon race, and it is impossible to verify whether they have been eradicated.
And then there's the Blood Demon who keeps calling Shen Yao "Master"...
And there might also be cultivators, like the Sword-Backed Demon, coveting her source core...
They couldn't abandon Xianyu and return to the Immortal Clan, nor could they allow Huo Die to return to the Immortal Clan alone to set up an array.
But if left unchecked, once these heretical practitioners gain power...
The evil cultivators from the former demon territory are definitely not unrelated to the Blood Demon.
If the evil cultivators gain power, they will surely help the Blood Demon escape the seal...
Feng Yu put away the communication token and looked at Shen Yao, who was chatting happily with Xianyu.
It's a real entanglement.
Well, we'll have to wait until we get to Longquan Cliff to discuss it further.
