I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

"Ordinary mortals would naturally be terrified and dare not resist when they see my army pressing in. However, the City God of the Underworld is rather strange. We should be careful and not let ourselves be caught off guard."

Beside the female ghost in red stood a burly man, as imposing as an iron tower, whose tone was cautious.

His face was as black as charcoal, with two bony spurs sticking out from his forehead, resembling a pair of ferocious horns. The sinister aura surging in his eyes could freeze one's soul!

"Lingjiao! You're supposed to be a pillar-level ghost general under the Demon King, how could you believe in such nonsense? Underworld gods? You must have lost your mind from being burned by yang energy!"

The female ghost in red raised an eyebrow, curled her red lips into a mocking smile, and spoke in a sharp tone.

"Yan Xiao, we've never gotten along, but since we've both submitted to the King, we're in the same boat. We should work together to expand your territory!"

The horned demon general's voice was cold and indifferent, completely unmoved by her seductive charm.

"Don't try to flatter me! When have I ever been lazy in serving the King?"

Yan Xiao glared at him fiercely, her eye roll full of charm, her eyes captivating and alluring.

The little devils marching nearby caught a glimpse of it and froze on the spot, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.

"If you're going to put in the effort, you should know! Our deployment in Guiling City has already been utterly destroyed! Those good-for-nothings who escaped back are all crying and begging, saying that the underworld has appeared and gods have descended to earth!"

The angular-faced man snorted heavily, black smoke billowing from his nostrils. "If this news hadn't unsettled me, do you think I would have willingly begged the King to send me with the army? Who would want to be stuck with a vixen like you!"

He wasn't fooled by Yan Xiao's beauty. Firstly, he wasn't interested in women, and secondly, as his old rival, he knew this woman's background all too well: she was originally a wrinkled old hag who had absorbed the yang energy of countless living people to obtain this delicate appearance.

In his opinion, this was utterly hopeless! They've already become ghosts, yet they're still clinging to their physical forms?

Instead of wasting time on this, you should focus on cultivating and improving your strength!

"Heh, who would believe your nonsense? The King originally entrusted Guiling City to me to attack alone. With an army of 100,000, taking this tiny place would be a piece of cake. You shamelessly followed me here, probably trying to sabotage me and steal my credit?"

Yan Xiao wasn't buying it at all, retorting with a sarcastic tone that could choke someone: "What bullshit underworld gods? Pure fabrication! Of all the ghost generals, you're the only one who takes this rumor seriously. Are you stupid or just plain dumb?"

There's no reasoning with this woman!

Too lazy to waste any more words, Lingjiao turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind, and didn't even want to look at her.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao chuckled a few times, her laughter full of smugness, as if she had won a great victory. Satisfied, she declared, "In short, when we get to Guiling City, all the credit will be mine; you won't get a single drop!"

The angular-faced man sneered, his tone sinister: "Don't worry, I'll take advantage of you when you're beaten to a pulp and crying for your parents!"

The two were evenly matched, neither willing to give an inch, but this did not affect the Ghost Army's marching speed in the slightest.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the mighty ghost army had already arrived at the gates of Guiling City!

"Such a vibrant atmosphere! It's an absolute feast for the eyes!"

"I'm practically drooling with cravings, I can't wait to have my fill!"

"Lord Ghost General, give the order quickly! We can't wait any longer!"

Ahead lies Guiling City, a city with a population of over 500,000, brightly lit and bustling with activity.

All the ghost soldiers had bloodshot eyes, their eyes gleaming with greed. They roared restlessly, looking like a pride of lions that had been starving for ten or fifteen days, suddenly encountering a plump prey, wishing they could pounce on it and tear it apart and devour it immediately!

"By order of the Demon King—Slaughter the city!"

Yan Xiao parted her lips slightly, and two icy words escaped from her bright red lips, carrying a chilling killing intent.

Awooo—!

The ghost army roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and earth. Then, like a flood bursting its banks, they surged toward Guiling City, their black energy billowing and obscuring the sky!

coming!

The special operations team at the forefront turned deathly pale and their bodies went cold.

They felt like a leaf in a storm, insignificant and powerless in the face of the impending catastrophe, without even the slightest strength to resist.

At this critical moment, a dazzling divine light suddenly shot out from the direction of the City God Temple!

The light was a brilliant gold, like the sun breaking through the sky, shooting straight into the clouds and dispelling most of the biting cold brought by the ghost army. It even tore a gap in the black mist in the sky!

All the citizens of Guiling City raised their heads in unison, their eyes fixed on the golden light in the sky, filled with shock and hope.

"By order of the Chief! All officials, soul messengers, and soul soldiers of the Inspectorate, Patrol Bureau, Swift Wind Bureau, and Yin-Yang Bureau, mobilize immediately to defend Guiling City and protect our people!"

A majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, like the voice of a celestial being, ethereal yet omnipresent, carrying an undeniable pressure.

"By order of the Chief Administrator! City God's Guards, form ranks outside the city and repel the evil spirits!"

The resounding sound rang out again, making people's eardrums buzz.

Amidst the surging black mist, a Xuanjia Army formation of seven hundred armored soldiers appeared outside Guiling City, their armor gleaming and exuding a murderous aura!

Zhong Jiu stood in the very center of the army formation, suddenly drawing his Ghost-Slaying Sword from his waist. The blade gleamed coldly, pointing directly at the ghost army. His voice boomed like a bell: "Pass on my command, Black Armor Army, charge into the enemy lines!"

Seven hundred against one hundred thousand!

Such a disparity in troop strength is simply courting death!

"The City God's Mansion has really taken action!"

"How come there are so few people? What's the difference between this and sending them to their deaths?"

"Look! They really made it through!"

The special operations team members were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

Given such a vast difference in strength, shouldn't we have defended the city and relied on its fortifications to hold out for reinforcements?

Even the Taoist priest Changdeng, who has always been a devout believer in the gods, was filled with doubt at this moment and could not understand the actions of the City God's Palace.

Although the Xuanjia Army appears to be a brave and skilled warrior, like a battle-hardened army, their numbers are too small. Once they are swept into the tide of the ghost army, they will be instantly overwhelmed!

"Everyone, listen up! Prepare to support the City God's Temple!"

Although Zhong Yingmei was puzzled, she did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

The situation is now clear: no matter how many troops the City God's Palace deploys, they can only cooperate fully. Only by following the gods' lead can they have a chance of survival!

"The City God has really sent troops!"

"Are those soldiers from the underworld? Though shrouded in black mist, they are all burly and imposing, their aura is extraordinary, they are so magnificent!"

"Strong as they may be, their numbers are far too few! How can seven hundred men possibly defeat a hundred thousand evil spirits?"

The citizens of Guiling City, no matter where they are, are all watching the battle situation outside the city closely through their mobile phone screens.

Not only in Guiling City, but also in 31 other cities across the country, people are watching this life-or-death battle closely. The live broadcast rooms of major forums and video websites are full of related live footage.

The internet is filled with voices from netizens across the country:

"It's over! Zhangcheng City is completely finished. The evil spirits have broken through the defenses and stormed into the city!"

"Shigemori Castle has fallen; screams of agony are heard everywhere!"

"The live stream from Yongchang City has stopped; the streamer has probably been murdered..."

Initially, the entire internet was flooded with comments, some lamenting, others cheering on the defenders.

But at this moment, most of the live streaming rooms fell into a deathly silence. Not long after it started, cities began to fall one after another.

The evil spirits are incredibly cruel. Their purpose is not invasion, but pure slaughter. Once they enter the city, they will raise their butcher knives and slaughter indiscriminately, leaving rivers of blood flowing!

The entire internet was completely silent.

Many people sighed, unable to bear watching any longer, and silently turned off their phones; others silently shed tears in front of the screen.

"The end of the world is really coming..."

Everyone sadly realized this, and all that remained in their hearts was despair, with no hope in sight.

But at that moment, the chat rooms in all the live streams suddenly became active again, and a bunch of new posts sprang up on various forums like mushrooms after rain:

"Look, Guiling City! Hurry!"

"Brothers, don't cry! Go watch the live stream from Guiling City! Something big is happening!"

"Things are different in Guiling City! The City God's Mansion has intervened, it's so exciting!"

They said exactly the same thing.

Guiling City?

This is just an obscure little town; many people have never even heard of it.

Among the netizens still online, some were intrigued and clicked on the live stream of Guiling City; others were disheartened and lost interest in everything.

Those who clicked on the live stream quickly discovered that Guiling City was unique!
