I am Master Maoshan

Tiger walked forward and scanned the survivors with sharp eyes. Suddenly, his eyes stopped at the strange clothes worn by several of them, and his brows slightly frowned. He had never seen such clothes in the God Realm. The fabric was embroidered with strange patterns and the colors were extremely rare.

His heart moved and he immediately thought of Liu Jun, because Liu Jun had also worn similar clothes.

"Hey? These clothes?" Tiger whispered to himself, his heart full of doubts and curiosity. He squatted down and looked at these clothes carefully, trying to find some clues.

At this moment, the ape-man who led another vanguard heard the noise and rushed over quickly. The ape-man was tall, muscular, and his eyes were shining with wisdom. He strode to the tiger and asked, "What's going on?"

The tiger raised his head and looked at the ape man, with a glimmer of joy in his eyes: "Old ape, you came at the right time. Look at the clothes these people are wearing. Have you ever seen Liu Jun wear them before?"

Upon hearing this, the ape man's eyes immediately fell on those strange clothes. He carefully examined them for a while, and his brows gradually frowned: "Indeed, the pattern and color of this kind of clothes are very similar to those worn by Liu Jun. Could it be that... these people are related to Liu Jun?"

Tiger nodded, with a complicated look in his eyes: "It seems that we need to interrogate these people carefully. Perhaps they can give us some clues about Liu Jun."

"Do you recognize this person?" The ape took out a portrait and scanned the subdued survivors with a sharp gaze.

Although it was a portrait, it was extremely clear and detailed, almost like a photo. The person in the portrait had a handsome face and a firm gaze. He was the person they were familiar with, the great man who had saved them.

The survivors looked at each other, wondering in their hearts: Could it be that the tiger and the ape-man are here to hunt down this big shot?
"I don't know, I don't know him." One of them gritted his teeth and forced out these words.

"Yes, we don't know him." Several people around also echoed, with a hint of firmness in their tone.

Obviously, these survivors were not ungrateful. Liu Jun had stepped forward many times in times of crisis to save them from danger. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: no matter what, they must not betray Liu Jun's whereabouts.

However, in this tense atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded: "Sir, sir, I know this man! Are you arresting him? I can tell you what he did and where he went."

The person who spoke had a flattering look on his face, with greed gleaming in his eyes.

The tiger and the ape-man looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Tiger said coldly, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

Upon seeing this, the man hurriedly stepped forward and whispered about how Liu Jun had entered the dungeon the day before yesterday, killed Chen Yu and Chen Yu's men, rescued other people, and gave them food and water, including the direction in which Liu Jun left.

Tiger narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Okay, the information you provided is very valuable, I will let you live."

A hint of joy flashed in the man's eyes, and he quickly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Tiger: "Sir, I used to be a businessman, and I happen to have a map of the Platinum Divine Realm. I analyzed that the man should have gone to Xiangdong City."

Xiangdong City is one of the cities closest to this city, and its location is exactly the direction Liu Jun left.

The tiger took the map, examined it carefully, and then exchanged a look with the ape-man, who nodded slightly, indicating that the information was credible.

"Very good," Tiger put away the map and said coldly, "You can go now."

The man felt relieved and turned to flee, fearing that the tiger would change its mind. However, at the moment he turned around, a flash of cold light flashed in the ape man's eyes, and the dagger in his hand silently stabbed into the man's back.

"You betrayed our brothers, and you deserve to live?" the ape said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

When the other survivors heard this, they realized that they had misunderstood. This group of ferocious soldiers from the Sky Fire Divine Realm should be in the same group with Liu Jun.

But they were not sure whether it was a trick, so they did not say anything.

"You take your men to stay and help these people settle down. Treat them well and don't neglect them. Wait for the main army to arrive and come back to us after the handover. We are going to Xiangdong City." Lao Hu said to the centurion in a steady and powerful voice.

"Yes, General!" the centurion agreed immediately, his voice loud and with a hint of awe.

He quickly turned around and began to direct his soldiers to arrange for the resettlement of the survivors. The soldiers moved quickly, obviously well-trained, and despite the devastation, they still maintained a resolute look on their faces.

The tiger nodded, then exchanged a glance with the ape man, and the two of them tacitly led the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Army to continue searching the city.

After searching for a while, Tiger and Ape led their troops to Xiangdong City. Their target was clear, that was Liu Jun.

At the same time, Liu Jun, Xu Baoer and others were standing outside Xiangdong City with strange expressions. They looked at the city wall in front of them, full of doubts.

Xiangdong City did not seem to be invaded by the ancient demons from outside the domain. Or rather, it was invaded, but unlike other cities where hundreds of thousands of people were reduced to a few hundred. The city walls were still intact, and the buildings in the city had not suffered large-scale damage. Some residents could even be seen walking around in the city, as if everything was normal. "This is not right." Liu Jun whispered, frowning. His eyes swept over the city wall, trying to find some abnormal signs. Xu Baoer stood beside him, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Several soldiers from Xiangdong City stopped Liu Jun and his men, with a hint of caution in their voices. The attire of these soldiers was not much different from that of soldiers from other cities, but their eyes seemed a little empty, as if they had lost some spirituality.

As soon as Liu Jun and the others approached, they smelled a foul odor. The smell was like a mixture of rotting flesh and some chemical substances, which was disgusting.

"We are travelers passing by and would like to go into the city to rest." Liu Jun tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

The soldiers looked at each other, as if communicating in some silent way. After a moment, one of them said, "You can enter the city, but you must be inspected."

Liu Jun nodded, but he felt even more uneasy. He vaguely felt that this city was far from being as simple as it seemed.

"Sergeant, there's something wrong with this guy!" a soldier suddenly shouted, pointing his spear at Liu Jun, with a hint of nervousness in his voice that was hard to conceal.

"What's wrong?" Although the sergeant didn't know what happened, he instinctively took a few steps back. His hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and he stared at Liu Jun vigilantly.

"I saw scales on his body!" the soldier said in a trembling voice, with a hint of fear in his voice, as if he saw something that shouldn't exist.

Liu Jun stood there, still calm, the shadow of his cloak covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was not surprised by the soldier's discovery.

"You, take off your cloak!" The sergeant immediately shouted at Liu Jun, his voice full of commanding authority, but his hands were shaking slightly.

Liu Jun sighed, as if he was tired of all this. Just before the sergeant finished speaking, he attacked with lightning speed, his movements were almost invisible. With a few muffled sounds, the five soldiers and the sergeant had all fallen to the ground, with their spears and swords scattered all over the ground.

Of course, Liu Jun had no intention of killing these people, and the force of his attack was only to knock them unconscious. He stood there, looking down at the soldiers lying on the ground, with a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes.

However, just as Liu Jun was about to move forward, the soldiers who had fallen to the ground suddenly stood up again, their movements stiff, like zombies. Their eyes were empty, and their faces were expressionless, as if they were controlled by some force.

Liu Jun frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. He thought these people were just ordinary patrol soldiers, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

"This is interesting." Liu Jun whispered to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The soldiers slowly approached him, and although their movements were slow, they carried a strange sense of oppression. Liu Jun knew that these people were no longer ordinary soldiers, but puppets controlled by some force.

"Brother Liu, they are zombies." Xu Baoer reminded softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Although her voice was not loud, it was loud enough for Liu Jun to hear clearly.

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, and his mind was not able to wrap its mind around this: "Poet? What kind of poems did he write? Is he famous?"

The first thing that comes to his mind is great poets like Li Bai and Du Fu.

Xu Baoer sighed helplessly and shook her head: "It's a corpse of a corpse, a corpse man, a corpse man who grew up drinking corpse oil."

"Hi, awesome." Liu Jun took a breath, and his expression instantly became serious. Although it was not the first time he heard of corpses, he still couldn't help feeling nauseous when he heard that they grew up drinking corpse oil.

Corpse oil is something that would make a normal person unable to eat for three to five days after smelling it. But they actually grew up drinking corpse oil. How perverted are they?

Liu Jun's eyes gradually became sharp, and he was secretly thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He was not an ordinary person. He was born as a Maoshan Taoist priest. Although his current strength was many times stronger than that of the founder of Maoshan, he still remembered the skill of eating clearly. He had his own way to deal with the corpse.

"Since you grew up drinking corpse oil, then I know what to do." Liu Jun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He reached into the storage space and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a handful of yellow paper talismans covered with complex runes that emitted a faint golden glow.

"It just so happens that I still have some talismans left over from before." Liu Jun muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping over the five soldiers and the sergeant in front of him. They had expressionless faces and empty eyes, as if they were bodies without souls, which was the typical characteristic of corpses.

Liu Jun did not hesitate and quickly put the talisman on their foreheads. As soon as the talisman touched the skin, it immediately emitted a faint golden light and then disappeared. The corpses seemed to be frozen, their bodies stiff and unable to move.

At this time, on the wall of Xiangdong City, a young man in a white robe stood proudly, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his brows revealing a cold and arrogant look. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, looking straight at Liu Jun and his group who were surrounded by the city.

"Hmm? Taoist methods?" The young man in white robe sneered, with a hint of disdain and ridicule in his voice. (End of this chapter)
