It is a pity that the reason why ordinary people are called ordinary people is that they have no chance to become the ones who control their own destiny, so they end up like this.
If there is really fairness in the world, the heaven itself should have sent down a huge thunder disaster to completely wipe out this city.
But He did not do that.
Therefore, there will always be people who, in the name of "doing justice for heaven", try their best to kill all the evil in the world. But Lu Mu actually knows that heaven can see all of this. He may not like this kind of behavior, but he will not care.
Even if someone could gain supreme power from the sacrifice of millions of lives, He wouldn't care.
This is the way of heaven. As the will of the world that transcends all things, the so-called "good and evil" determined by the creatures of the world themselves is not within its consideration at all...
So fairness does not exist from the beginning.
Mourning was of no use. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. What they saw before them could only add fuel to their rage against the person who started all this.
Lu Mu led them into a restaurant. The lobby was a mess. The tragedy that happened here was no less than that on the street outside. He didn't look at it for long and went straight to the second floor. He pushed open a few rooms. It was very clean, at least there was no blood.
"One room each, Xiaoxue, come with me."
This time, Lu Mu's idea was rejected by all of them.
Gu Yunxi and Huang Yanyao did not want to be separated from the only man among the four at this time. They were not afraid, but after seeing the remnants of the bloody massacre, which was just the tip of the iceberg, they also needed some comfort.
Chapter 111: The Last Night
Four people squeezed into a side room.
This room is considered to be of the best quality, with two beds, an inner room and an outer room, specially for female guests.
Gu Yunxi and Huang Yanyao sat cross-legged on the bed in the inner room to meditate and recover, while Lu Mu sat at the table in the outer room with a wandering look in his eyes.
Murong Xue sat near the window, listening attentively to the noise outside.
A small sound-blocking formation was set up in the wing to ensure that no noise from inside would be transmitted out. It was already too quiet outside, and from time to time one could feel the breath of evil cultivators passing by. They were still looking for "prey" in this city.
But in her opinion, the city was probably drained of blood... Maybe someone had hidden, maybe for a long time, but this night would not remain quiet forever. Murong Xue could hear very subtle screams and laughter. Maybe on the other side of the royal city, some evil cultivators had found the hiding mortals, and then...
How should I put it? It should be said that there is a reason why everyone hates evil practitioners.
The more she thought about it, the more tired her expression became, and finally she stopped thinking about it.
"not comfortable?"
Lu Mu touched her shoulders. She had felt the warmth of those hands many times. She held Lu Mu's hands, which were thick and warm, and always made people feel better.
She just loved it.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, but after seeing these... I'm not very happy."
Murong Xue had seen bloodshed before. In the Southeast Region, there were many evil villains who wanted to use the living creature sacrificial array. Hundreds and thousands of people were used as blood food and fed to those stupid beasts. Sometimes she arrived in time to stop them, and sometimes she was just a step late... In fact, she had seen a lot.
But in a city like this, with almost no living people to be seen, chaos spreading rampantly, and a doomsday where laws are disregarded, Murong Xue was still a little scared.
This is the deadly place left behind after pure disorderly evil sweeps through.
Murong Xue didn't like this kind of chaos, and she didn't like the evil cultivators' bloodthirstiness even more.
Lu Mu was also somewhat touched. This was different from the tragic scene in the world described in just a few lines of words. This was a real picture painted with blood and body parts, with blood flowing like a river and corpses piled up like mountains.
He sat down and hugged Murong Xue from behind, watching her profile become softer by the second. He closed his eyes, as if he wanted to smell her fragrance, and as if he wanted to use this intimacy to dispel the restlessness in his heart.
"I'm fine, no need..."
She murmured, but Lu Mu raised his fingers and gently blocked her thin lips.
"I just want to hug you."
"This place will only feel better if we cuddle up to each other."
"Yeah." Murong Xue pressed close to him. Although her expression didn't change much, Lu Mu knew that she felt much more at ease.
Nanling Royal City was already a bloody and smelly death place. They would inevitably feel depressed being in it. Lu Mu didn't care, but he didn't want Murong Xue to feel any discomfort, even if it was just a little bit of mental pressure.
"Xiaoxue." Lu Mu suddenly called her.
"Ok?"
"Would you like to go get some sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy, but Brother Mu can do whatever I want."
Lu Mu laughed: "So good."
They really do need each other.
Huang Yanyao woke up from her meditation when she heard the whispers from the outer room. There was no light in the room, but she could see two figures leaning against each other with deep affection, walking towards the other bed.
Her eyebrows moved, and her eyes were filled with a complex look.
Actually... a little jealous.
Huang Yanyao actually quite likes the feeling of being hugged by Lu Mu and surrounded by warmth.
But the person being hugged now is Murong Xue, not her.
……
The night enveloped the entire sky, so thick that it was indissoluble, as if ink had soaked through the entire piece of paper, or as if someone had splashed endless stains on it.
The moon finally showed some signs of rising, and the faint silver-white moonlight reflected a number of distorted and hideous faces. They shuttled between the eaves and high roofs of the city, happily venting the heavy murderous intent that had accumulated for such a long time. The evil cultivators tirelessly searched for the next batch of "prey", their eyes red with excitement.
"boom!"
A woman fell heavily in the alley, her limbs broken and her face ashen.
"Hahaha, I found another one hiding!"
The cheers were mixed with the smell of blood.
The killing in Nanling Royal City has been going on for a long time and will never stop.
……
In the underground palace under the Nanling Palace, the dim lights had been dyed scarlet by the blood mist, and it was cold, damp, and chilly.
The underground palace was dug very wide. In fact, it was only expanded during this period. In order to construct the most important main formation of the entire Wanling Qi Array, Hong Zhan spent some time and effort. But now, he was not thinking about how to make trouble, but how to make the Xianhuang Empire pay the price.
In the middle of the underground palace, there is a huge blood pool that is dozens of feet wide and unknown how deep. The blood in the pool flows like lava, emitting a burning breath, as if even the resentment and hatred in the air have merged into the blood pool.
Around the blood pool, densely packed inscriptions formed this complex main formation. Each inscription glowed with a deep red light, crisscrossing and complex and obscure.
Hong Zhan was standing next to the blood pool, his left hand hanging in front of his leg. Drops of blood dripped down his arm and into the blood pool, causing ripples.
He stared indifferently at the thick and boiling pool of blood, his eyes were red, and countless resentful thoughts of the dead were bound in the pool, but he seemed to have been soaked by the huge evil thoughts and completely fascinated by that power.
The flesh and blood of all the common people in the entire Nanling Royal City have been completely integrated into this main formation.
"Hehe... This power is indeed very crazy, isn't it, Your Majesty?"
Xia Jiuxie was standing behind him, his disfigured face filled with a sinister and sinister smile.
"This king is not so easily trapped in it."
Hong Zhan didn't even turn his head, but continued to stare at the pool of blood.
"Tomorrow, you will enjoy the pleasure of avenging your only son."
"Oh, you don't have to worry. I have already made sufficient preparations."
Hong Zhan turned around and looked at Xia Jiuxie with cold eyes, "It would be best if someone from the Xiexin Sect could come and hold back the Immortal Phoenix Emperor, just as you said."
It would still take some time for the formation to be activated and completely stripped of the Xianhuang national destiny, but for the Xianhuang Emperor, projecting his own incarnation here was only a matter of a thought.
But the Xiexin Sect naturally took this into consideration.
"Please rest assured. Although my master will not take action, the Xiexin Sect never keeps idle people... There will be a senior from my sect who will have a good meeting with His Majesty the Emperor."
A calculating light flashed across his cold eyes, and then disappeared.
"So, very good."
Hong Zhan ignored him.
And Xia Jiuxie simply hid the evil thoughts in his eyes.
Everything has been arranged properly. Soon, the notoriety of the Evil Heart Sect will only become more and more famous as the fortune of the Immortal Phoenix Nation is lost...
Chapter 112: The Main Formation Appears
At the beginning of the morning, the Nanling King City was shrouded in morning light. The city was not eye-catching, but seemed even more dead and silent in the early morning.
The stinking blood mist that filled the city was extremely creepy. Lu Mu looked out the window and saw a faint scarlet color. The corpses of the mortals who were treated as prey and slaughtered by the evil cultivators were thrown on the streets and alleys. There were so many of them. Perhaps less than seven days had passed, and the Nanling King City had become like this.
The bloody stench from last night was just as horrifying, but this morning, the disgusting smell became even stronger.
This is actually a sign of something.
"Feel it?"
"It seems that Hong Zhan's 'grand plan' has reached the final step."
Huang Yanyao walked to the window and glanced at Lu Mu casually. His face, which she never got tired of, aroused the little jealousy she had last night, but it was quickly wiped away because now was not a good time to admire handsome men.
The remaining blood and energy of the dead bodies were aroused and began to become agitated. Even the evil blood and energy in their own bodies was vaguely mobilized, bringing an unusual burning sensation. Every pore on their body was blatantly craving for something, and this restlessness was easily suppressed.
But this also means that the unusual movements in the royal city have become increasingly obvious.
"The source of the power that agitates the blood is underground in Nanling Palace."
The Nanling Palace was very conspicuous, at least in the royal city, where other buildings were not even half as high as the palace hall. Lu Mu only raised his head, and his sight passed through the thin blood mist rising from the city and reached the palace directly.
He had the highest level of cultivation, so it was easy for him to detect the disturbances in the main formation. He didn't know how many mortals there were in the Nanling King City, but their flesh and blood had been melted into the formation. Even a slight leak of that power could have almost caused Lu Mu to be trapped in it.
The last emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who created this great formation that captures the energy of all spirits, was indeed an evil genius who had gone astray.
Using the power created by the flesh and blood of the people to attack the imperial destiny built by the beliefs of the people is a shocking move.
But unfortunately, the world does not tolerate such evil ways.
All the evil cultivators scattered in the city now rushed towards the palace. They darted through the blood mist like demon vultures hunting.
"It's great that all the damn traitors have gathered together."
"We can kill them all here."
Gu Yunxi brushed her soft sleeves. Standing next to her, one could feel the hot energy rising and falling with her breathing, but the momentum was becoming more and more obvious. Lu Mu had no doubt that she was holding back her energy, waiting to fight the evil cultivator to a bloody battle.
"Be patient, the time has not come yet. The closer we are to the formation, the more nervous they become. Once the formation is truly formed, it will be the best time for us to launch a surprise attack."
He pushed Gu Yunxi down on the chair, causing her to pout.
But Lu Mu's true energy immediately overflowed from his palms and flowed into her body. The cold feeling flowed through her meridians, gradually calming her mind.
Murong Xue tilted her head, said nothing, just sat on the bed, looking at Lu Mu's back indifferently.
She knew nothing about the formation, but Lu Mu also explained to her in detail the construction method of the Wanling Qi-stealing Formation. The 188 small formations had already spread across every corner of King Nanling's territory, and were ready to go.
She had never seen such a huge formation.
Although she was a little confused, she believed in Lu Mu very much because Lu Mu could always do things that others could not do.
Therefore, the plans of Xiexin Sect and Hong Zhan will definitely end up in shattered this time.
……
By noon, the unusual movements within Nanling Royal City had become obvious.
Along with the heavy muffled sound, the ground began to shake more violently, and blood surged, as if a giant dragon jumped out of it. The increasingly thick blood mist in the city rose into the sky like a wave, and the morning clouds had been dyed deep red, and even the scorching sun could hardly penetrate.
Lu Mu and others had already left the restaurant where they had rested. They were now in a house across the street from the Nanling Palace. Lu Mu took out the magic weapon that he had used to pass through the city defense formation last night and completely covered their figures and auras.
This place is too close to Prince Nanling's Palace. The aura of the evil cultivators is extremely cold and evil. Their aura is completely different, so we have to disguise ourselves well.
They stood on the roof and watched the Nanling Palace collapse little by little amidst the roar, the palace crumbled and shattered, dust flew everywhere, and as he stared, the Nanling Palace disappeared in the rolling blood mist.
Gu Yunxi narrowed her eyes, waiting for something new and terrifying to appear in the dusty chaos.
Then they also waited for a bigger movement.
Slowly rising from the ruins of the royal palace was a huge underground palace. In the center was an altar with a blood pool several dozen feet wide as its core.
