Chapter 880 Chaos in Yanyun
As the saying goes, "A horse will die if it is seen too high". Even though a towering mountain range that stretches between the northern border and the grassland has appeared in sight, the distance to the mountain range is obviously still quite far.

They set out again, and after more than half a day, the mountains that were still vaguely visible in the sky finally came into Chu Mu's sight more clearly.

But at this moment, Chu Mu's expression suddenly changed.

"Stop!"

He stopped suddenly, and the Changsheng Sect disciples who followed him also stopped in mid-air subconsciously.

As the autumn wind blows, a faint smell of blood is not difficult to detect.

Smelling the faint smell of blood, the disciples of the Changsheng Sect also became visibly alert.

"Your Majesty, there is a smell of blood."

A disciple spoke cautiously.

Chu Mu did not respond. He looked at the Yanyun Mountains which were still quite far away. After staring for a while, he rolled up his sleeves and a jade compass hung in his palm.

As he pointed his finger, the compass began to ripple like a mirror, and a faint wave spread towards the Yanyun Mountains. Within a few breaths, dense black spots suddenly appeared on the compass mirror.

At the same time, on one side of the compass mirror, a series of densely packed fonts and numbers appeared, indicating the nature of each black spot.

Every black spot is a place where spiritual energy fluctuates.

Judging from the nature of the spiritual energy fluctuations displayed by the spirit-detecting compass, these dense spiritual energy fluctuations basically all originate from the fighting between the cultivators.

In other words, this iron wall that has been passed down for countless years is now... in turmoil?
demon?

Chu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, leaped up, and flew across the sky.

When the distance was shortened again, the view of the Yanyun Mountains became extremely clear.

The originally peaceful spiritual environment has become somewhat chaotic, and this disorder obviously originates from the Yanyun Mountains.

Looking around, the towering mountains that looked like a giant dragon lying down were obviously in chaos.

Faint rays of spiritual light burst out, stirring up the spiritual environment of the world. The surging spiritual energy waves spread in all directions like waves.

This abnormal fluctuation...

It's not just one or two places...

Looking out, one can clearly see the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy and the blurry rays of fighting and killing, which are everywhere within the reach of the naked eye.

Outside the mountains, no large-scale enemy attacks were seen.

In a healthy order, it is impossible for turmoil of this magnitude to occur without cause...

The reason is obviously very clear.

And the fact was not beyond expectations.

When the distance is shortened again and looking down, the familiar scene comes into view again.

Looking around, order in this Great Wall of Steel has almost been completely lost.

The spiritual city fortresses and various camps, both open and hidden, were all in chaos.

There are almost countless demons with hideous appearances and varying levels of cultivation, wreaking havoc in every place within reach of the naked eye.

There were also disciples of the Changsheng Sect who were either alone or in groups, as well as some independent cultivators, who were either fleeing or resisting the rampage of the demons.

Corpses were everywhere and blood was flowing like a river.

It is obvious that the terror that erupted in the secret world has also begun to unfold in the outside world.

"Your honor!"

"True inheritance."

Rays of light emerged one after another, followed by the Changsheng Sect's disciples who hurried over.

"Go and ask around and see what's going on."

Chu Mu waved his hand, seeming to be a little bored.

"Disciple obey!"

Everyone paid homage, and in an instant they turned into streaks of rainbow light and headed towards the places of chaos and fighting.

Chu Mu stood on the clouds, overlooking the chaos in the mountains. His eyes were calm and there were not many emotional fluctuations.

After all, these...are all things that were destined to happen.

Moreover, after years of peace, as the turmoil in the outer sea intensified, the Changsheng Sect had to withdraw and reduce the number of disciples stationed in the Yanyun Mountains on several occasions.

This time, the call-up almost drew out all the elite disciples within the Changsheng Sect, and the Yanyun Mountains were naturally no exception.

It is estimated that the only high-level cultivators stationed here are a few Jindan elders who do not have much potential.

And... no one knows whether these Jindan elders stationed here are human beings or demons in human skin.

Although there are still a large number of low-level disciples stationed here, it is obvious that in the face of such a terrifying force that can distinguish between humans and demons, the existence of numbers does not have much meaning. It has only been more than a month since the collapse of the secret realm, and only a few Nascent Souls remain, and only one out of a hundred elite disciples survives.

Under such a dire situation, the Changsheng Sect currently estimated that it did not have any extra strength to support the Yanyun Mountains.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Yanyun Mountains are already in such chaos, can the Changsheng Mountain Gate and the Big Dipper Seven Cities still remain stable?
In this vast world of immortal cultivation in the south of the Tian Dynasty, can the human alliance entrenched in the outer sea still maintain order?

Thinking of this, Chu Mu was suddenly stunned as if a light bulb had flashed on his head.

He seemed to have overlooked something?
Chu Mu frowned, and with the help of a touch of spiritual light, countless thoughts reappeared in his mind, and each thought was carefully sorted out.

When his thoughts calmed down, a vague answer emerged in his mind, and Chu Mu looked suddenly towards the chaotic mountains.

"No...no..."

Chu Mu was obviously surprised and suspicious.

If he remembered correctly, from the time Xu Lingtian, the sword-wielding Yuanying, noticed something, to the time the conscription order was issued, to the time they entered the secret realm of the Changsheng Sect...

All of this is obviously a helpless act.

After all, neither the Lord of the Changsheng Sect nor Xu Lingtian could distinguish between humans and demons in human skin.

Being unable to distinguish means that it is impossible to confirm who is a human and who is a demon in human skin.

The only way was to catch them all in one swoop and force the demons to show themselves, which led to the call for troops, and tens of thousands of elite disciples of the Changsheng Sect entered the secret realm, where all the Yuanying Taishang of the Changsheng Sect gathered to catch the turtle in the jar.

Judging from the plans of the demons in Xuancheng, the demons have obviously known the plan of the Lord of Changsheng Sect, and are obviously preparing to intervene in the game, turn the tables, and take over the magpie's nest.

This plan has obviously failed completely.

But the question is, for the demons, what does it matter if they fail?

However, it only exposed the demons hidden inside the Changsheng Sect. As for other places, such as the Yanyun Mountains in front of us, the many Changsheng Sect disciples stationed there and the countless independent cultivators, who are the demons and who are the humans is still a mystery and there is no way to distinguish them at all.

No matter how huge the Changsheng Sect is, it is obviously impossible to capture all these cultivators in one fell swoop, not to mention that the scope involved is not limited to the Changsheng Sect.

For the demons, as long as the Changsheng Sect, or the Human Alliance, does not master the method of distinguishing between humans and demons, there is no need to expose their identities, let alone such a large-scale riot.

The most perfect method is to hide among people, mislead their minds, make them panic, and plot in secret.

It is not difficult to imagine that when the existence of demons is known to the world, there is no way to identify the demons hidden among humans. In fact, there are still a large number of demons hiding among humans...

How terrifying would this be?
Such a large-scale active exposure right now?

Is there something hidden?

Or, has something happened in the past month that he is not aware of? Or has the Changsheng Sect already mastered the method of identifying demons in human skin?

So, this is why these demons were forced to show up?
Compared with the former, Chu Mu naturally guessed the latter.

The demon in human skin has human thoughts, memories, words, and behaviors. The most deadly thing is that it is impossible to identify...

This kind of terror is truly horrifying!
Even though he was not afraid with his current strength, he was still worried when he thought that there might be a lot of demons in human skin hiding around him, and he couldn't be sure who they were...

Just the slightest thought is enough to make people shudder.

Chu Mu rolled up his sleeves and held the order of true teachings in his palm. As expected, the light on the order of true teachings had completely dimmed.

This undoubtedly indicates that the authority system of the Changsheng Sect, with Changshengtian as its core, has been completely paralyzed.

However, judging from the chaotic scene before our eyes, if nothing unexpected happened, this paralysis should have been deliberately caused by the leader of the Changsheng Sect.

Although the changes in the secret world cleared out a large number of demons lurking in the Changsheng Sect, it was obvious that only the middle and upper-level cultivators of the Changsheng Sect were cleared out.

The identities of countless middle and lower-level Changsheng Sect monks are still unknown and they are still within the Changsheng Sect’s authority system.

For example, in the Yanyun Mountains in front of him, if this authority system had not been paralyzed, he could easily control most of the formations in the Yanyun Mountains with his true authority.

As for other Changsheng Sect disciples, as long as their authority and status within the Changsheng Sect did not exceed his, it would be basically impossible for them to stop him. Even if their cultivation was equal to his, they would probably end up in regret under the suppression of the countless formations under the control of this authority.

But right now, this authority system is paralyzed. Although it will make it impossible for real disciples of the Changsheng Sect to control the situation through their authority, it can also prevent the demons from using their authority in this system to cause greater harm.

While Chu Mu was thinking, two beams of light shot up into the sky from a mountain range and dissipated in front of him. Two figures also appeared.

One of them was rescued from the secret realm by Chu Mu. He was a direct disciple of the Zhenyue lineage. Although he had only reached the initial stage of the Golden Core realm, his aptitude was quite extraordinary and he was also somewhat famous within the Changsheng Sect.

The other person was a middle-aged man, who was not the one who followed him. He was obviously a Jindan elder who was in charge of the Yanyun Mountains.

The two men stood there and bowed in worship.

"Disciple Gong Shanhong pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Gong is a disciple of the Prison-Suppressing Sect. He is the garrison commander of Yanshan Town, so he is not on the conscription list..."

Chu Mu looked at the two of them briefly, and his eyes were fixed on Gong Shanhong. He stared at the bloodstains on her body for a while before he slowly said, "Tell me about the situation..."
