Chapter 446: Human Heart is Hard to Predict (Part )
This kind of unstable mood began to ferment in Fancheng. Although rumors stop at the wise, smart people are often a minority, and there are only a few people who can see the situation clearly.
The vast majority of people hope that Xianyao and the Song family will find a way to rescue those poor hostages, because aren’t they as pitiful and helpless as those hostages? But if Xianyao gives up, will she also give up on them, the people of Fancheng?
Everyone was still looking forward to it, but as time went by, Xianyao didn't take any action, not even a statement.
What does this mean? Are we just going to leave those 10,000 people alone and watch them disappear into thin air?
Obviously, such indifference touched the nerves of many people, especially some people who thought they had a strong sense of justice. They began to say that "the Song family just recruited us as cannon fodder." They believed that the Song family only took in people like them in order to save their own lives, and would ask them to sacrifice their lives in the final war and use them as cannon fodder.
Some people don't think so, but some people say, "What benefit will it get for the Song family to take us in? It's just for our own survival!" This leaves many people speechless and they don't know how to refute.
Yes, people are in panic now, doomsday is approaching, and people’s hearts are hidden. Who knows if they will be sold out in the next second? Often at times like this, trust between people becomes a problem that is more complicated than survival.
The seeds of unrest have begun to be planted in Fancheng.
The vast majority of people do not trust the Song family. Although the Song family is the overlord of Lizhou, they are just a family after all. Everything they have done in the past was for the benefit of the family. They have never considered the welfare of the people of the world. Now that they are in great trouble, the Song family suddenly behaves abnormally, which is bound to arouse suspicion.
If it had been fine before, everyone would have kept their thoughts to themselves. But now, facing the threat of 10,000 hostages, the Song family has not taken any action at all, not even any rescue. Are they just going to watch them die?
This is so chilling! The Song family can give up these 10,000 hostages, and they can also give up the survivors of Fancheng, because they are a force that only seeks family interests.
However, it is normal for these people to have such thoughts, and even Xian Yao had expected it. People are not at the same level, at the same angle, and in the same position, so there must be huge deviations between their ideas.
Saving 10,000 hostages was certainly right and just, but how many sacrifices would that require? Even if Xian Yao took action, if she failed to deduce the method of controlling the Obsidian Sun before the Zerg invaded Fancheng, would she let all the people of Fancheng accompany those 10,000 people?
To put it bluntly, this group of people got the protection of the Song family, and then they were able to eat the Song family's money and get full, so they can talk without any worries.
But the reality is that there is no way. Even Xian Yao has no way to stop these people from speaking. After all, she can't shut everyone up.
"I don't think Fancheng is hopeless. We can't stop the insect swarm attack here."
"I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well take control of my own destiny. I don't want to be cannon fodder for others' survival."
"That's right. While the Lizhou continent has not been completely invaded by the insect swarm, we might as well rush out and head to other continents."
Many people began to think about escaping. They did not have a good impression of Xian Yao or the Song family. They felt that if they stayed here they would eventually die working for the Song family. So, they might as well go out and try their luck, perhaps they could find a way to survive.
The commotion was becoming more and more intense, and there was a tendency for it to become uncontrollable. There was even a case in Fancheng where a cultivator stole a large amount of important supplies from Fancheng, and one person escaped!
Even if Song Yutian began to use tough measures to suppress the unrest, the more he suppressed it, the more severe the backlash would become.
Distrust has begun to grow wildly, and many people even pointed at Song Yutian's nose and cursed him, saying that the person who took the hostages was his son, and that the two of them must be in cahoots, and asked everyone not to be fooled by Song Yutian.
Fancheng has begun to fall into chaos and has failed to unite as one. Song Yutian also feels a lot of pressure and wants to ask Xianyao for help, but Xianyao is currently in seclusion and has a heavy responsibility, and he cannot bring her any more trouble. Song Yutian can only grit his teeth and withstand the pressure.
But this is just the beginning...
The next morning, Song Tianfen once again issued a final order, declaring that if Xian Yao did not respond, he would start a massacre. He also stated that this time the target was only Fancheng, and that they would not continue to expand within ten days after capturing Fancheng. If you don't want to stay and be buried with the Song family, then just run away.
At the same time, he also listed Xian Yao's ten major crimes, and used all kinds of inexplicable frame-ups.
These three moves really cut the tree of trust between people in half. After a remaining sect force broke into the Song family's arsenal in Fancheng and stole a large number of immortal weapons, the system of Fancheng seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and more and more forces wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
Seeing that the good situation was about to collapse, it was Song Bier who stepped forward. As the current head of the Song family, she showed rare courage and began to negotiate with those cultivators. She denounced their ungrateful and unethical behavior and at the same time gave them a way out.
"It's fine if you want to leave, but there are still many people in Fancheng who are willing to stay, most of whom are civilians. They don't have the powerful cultivation base like you, so they are destined to stay here. Do you want to deprive them of their right to survive for your own selfish interests?"
"We, the Song family, have never taken in survivors just to survive. When faced with a powerful enemy, we, the Song family, will definitely be the first to rush to the front!"
"I, Song Bier, swear here that those who are willing to stay in Fancheng will be treated generously. Those who do not want to stay, we will not force them to stay. Take a portion of food, spiritual stones, and protective magic tools and leave. If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame me, the Song family, for being rude!"
Song Bier's soul was furious, and the demeanor she displayed at this moment was enough to make her a qualified head of the family.
There was no point in keeping some people who really wanted to leave, so Song Bier simply distributed some supplies and sent them out safely from the back door in the south. After getting the things, these people left satisfied. Fancheng sent away a lot of people at once, and some people who had ulterior motives and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble were unwilling to accept it, but they were a little unhappy that there were not so many people to help make trouble.
"You want to get rid of us so easily? We won't agree! You have to give us three times the supplies!"
Such discordant voices were truly challenging the authority of the Song family. Song Bier could not help but show anger on her face. She looked at the few remaining troublemakers and sneered, "Shentai Sect, huh? You want to get twice as much supplies? Don't be so shameless. Beat them with sticks. Even if it's just a spiritual stone, you Shentai Sect will never get it from Fan Cheng!"
It was this group of people who caused trouble in the beginning. Now that no one is joining in the trouble, how much trouble can they cause? Without saying a word, Song Bier expelled all the people from the Shen Tai Sect from Fancheng!

Chapter 447: Earth-shattering! The Ending Begins (First Update)
"Damn Song family, they actually drove us out of Fancheng! They didn't even give us anything!"
The people of the Shentai Sect were indignant. They had originally wanted to take this opportunity to incite other forces to divide up the Song family together. Then they could flee to other continents with a lot of wealth, but Song Bier completely messed it up.
No one expected that the usually stingy Song family would suddenly become so generous, giving away such a large amount of severance pay and sending away a group of people who were not interested in the job. At the same time, they also won the recognition of those who stayed. This was a big surprise to the people of the Shentai Sect.
Now, they didn't get any benefit at all, but those who joined in the commotion got a lot of severance pay, which made the Shentai Sect very angry. Even the leader of the Shentai Sect, the acting sect master, felt unwilling. Since the Song family wouldn't let them get any benefit, then they wouldn't have an easy time either!
"Since the world is going to be destroyed anyway, why not surrender to the enemy? If Song Tianfen can be taken in, then why can't we? We also want to become the master and then take revenge on the Song family!"
Fancheng? What's so great about it? You'll all be killed when the time comes.
At the critical moment of life and death, this group of people was actually ready to give up their identities as people of the Jiuzhou world and attempted to join the void to fight against their own people.
"Yes! Let's surrender to the enemy. It's better to die happily than to die miserably!"
"Everyone, let's go and welcome our new master!"
The leader of the Shen Tai Sect clapped his hands and gave an order, and the disciples of the Shen Tai Sect followed closely behind him. They all headed straight towards Song Tianfen and wanted to join the killing.
But who knows...
Two hours later...
"Oh no? Someone's coming? The Song family is still unable to hold back, but they think they can rescue the hostages by sending such a small number of people?"
Song Tianfen raised his eyelids, his blood-red pupils filled with sneers. He moved his mind and without saying anything, he called the swarm of insects up.
"Lord Song Tianfen, we are willing to obey you!"
"Let us join you..."
The people of Shentai Sect shouted, but before their shouts could reach Song Tianfen's ears, huge void poisonous insects suddenly emerged from the ground and bit off their heads one by one, crunching like eating beans.
In just a blink of an eye, all the people of Shentai Sect were wiped out!
The people of the Shentai Sect died in an extremely miserable way. They never dreamed that they were heading towards a bright future, but in the end they plunged straight into hell.
"Hahaha, Xianyao, you want to save people with just these few people? I think you have given up on them. If that's the case, then I will help you!"
Song Tianfen was in high spirits with a killing spree. He waved his hand and began to massacre the hostages. The swarm of void insects began to slaughter ten thousand hostages like a meat grinder.
The scene was so bloody that it was unbearable to watch and made people shudder. Especially when coupled with Song Tianfen's laughter, it made it seem as if there was no hope at all in this world.
Song Tianfen sneered in his heart: Humph, you are done, Xianyao! You did not save the hostages. I guess Fancheng must be in chaos. I am afraid you can't even defend for a minute now. I am afraid some of you have already started to escape.
Look, on the route that those escapees had to take, Song Tianfen had been well prepared. He arranged for Song Huitian to lead a group of void poisonous insects to go around the back early. No one who escaped from Fancheng survived, as they were all intercepted and devoured by Song Huitian's swarm of void insects!
Those refugees could never imagine why the Void Insects appeared in places where the Void Insect Swarm had not yet invaded. Didn’t they say that the only target this time was Fancheng? As long as the others left Fancheng, they would still have a chance of survival. Could it be that Song Tianfen was lying?
"Ahhh!"
Screams echoed everywhere, the whole world was filled with endless smell of blood, and those humans died in despair.
"Hahaha! You won't have a chance. Don't even think about escaping. Just stay in Fancheng and wait for death!"
Song Huitian's ridicule was full of blood.
--------split line--------
Fancheng——
The news that all the refugees had died spread quickly, and those who chose to stay began to feel extremely fortunate that they did not believe Song Tianfen’s lies. As expected, in the end, Fancheng was the safest place.
But this kind of security did not last long. After the hostages were killed, the swarm of insects began to move forward quickly, and there were only two days left before the attack on Fancheng.
"The retreat has also been blocked. It seems that Song Tianfen has leaked our defense plan to them, so they cut off our retreat and started to attack from both sides."
Song Yutian looked solemn after receiving the news that all the escapees were killed. Although it was gratifying that the traitors died, it also indicated that Fancheng would face a dilemma with no way out, and with the loss of so much combat power, the already fragile defense line would become even weaker.
"What should I do, uncle? If there is no other option, can I just ask Sister Xianyao for help?"
Song Bier's head was about to explode. The scene of the massacre of 10,000 hostages was still imprinted in her eyes. She was angry, but also felt deeply powerless. In this catastrophe, the people of the Jiuzhou world completely realized how insignificant they were.
Song Yutian shook his head: "No, Lady Xianyao is still in the process of deduction. She is the key to the key. Before she comes out, we must do everything we can to stop the insect swarm and protect the people of Lizhou!"
Song Yutian said firmly that he also knew a little about the art of deduction, although his skills were only mediocre compared to Xian Yao's, but he could still deduce the continental crisis a thousand years later.
As for Xianyao's deduction, the difficulty is so high that it is almost impossible to deduce the method of controlling the Obsidian Sun. Only people like Xianyao who have realized the way of deduction to the extreme can deduce at high speed against the clock.
In the past few days, Xianyao has been deducing, perhaps more than a million times. She persists and her mind is busy, just to find a path of hope.
"But Master Xianyao gave me a great plan to deal with it before, which should be enough to hold out for a while. We can only try our best and leave everything to fate."
Song Yutian prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could hold on until Xian Yao's deduction was successful.
One day passed...
Two days have passed...
During this period, Song Yutian continued to step up the organization of defense facilities and mobilized all the forces he could, even civilians, as long as they could carry a load, were all deployed.
This is a real battle of life and death. There is no room for negligence. Every second you can hold on means a little more hope.
Rumble——!
The swarm of insects is getting closer and closer, and the ground is shaking more and more violently!
"It's the swarm! The swarm is coming!"
The sentry on the watchtower cried out in surprise. This nightmare day finally arrived, several hours earlier than expected. Song Yutian almost jumped out of the bed. He had already put on his immortal armor and rushed out directly.
Not only him, Yu Yao, Ling Er and Lin Lan Er, these three important Tian Gang fighters have also been replenishing their strength during this period of time and adjusting their condition to the peak. Now that the large swarm of insects has arrived, the three Tian Gang have all appeared!
As they appeared, they immediately sensed the flashing lightning in the distant sky. Above the insect swarm, dark clouds were pressing down, with lightning and thunder. Among them, a petite divine figure seemed to be carried by the vast thunderclouds and came respectfully!
Thunder Star King——Shiro! Appearance!
Chapter 448 Peak Showdown! (Second Update)
Chapter 448 Peak Showdown! (Second Update)
"Huh, isn't Xianyao here?"
Green textures appeared all over Xi Luo's body, and the power of thunder truth was completely integrated into her body. She looked like an extremely majestic god, standing on a commanding height and overlooking all living beings.
Today she is fully armed, wearing the strongest thunder dragon armor, a crown on her head, and dozens of lightning dragons dragging behind her. Her whole body is shrouded in green light, looking majestic and magnificent.
The Apocalypse King level is above eternity. It is the true king that dominates all living things. Under that pressure, it seems that the entire Lizhou continent will be crushed into a pancake.
At this moment, let alone the defenders of Fancheng, even Lin Lan'er, Yu Yao and Ling'er could not help but feel the strain. Even though Lin Lan'er was only a step away from eternity in Xian Yao's opinion, her legs still trembled when she once again came into contact with the strength of eternity and apocalypse.
Apocalypse, so scary!
But even if she gritted her teeth, she couldn't lose her momentum. Lin Lan'er took a deep breath and faced Xi Luo who was bathed in thunder. She still dared to stand up.
"I don't need Master Xianyao's power to deal with you."
"Hmph, like this."
Xi Luo snorted lightly, not caring at all. As the only person who could stand in the sky, no matter how much these Tian Gang clamored, Xi Luo did not take it seriously at all. What's more, without Xian Yao present, she had no interest in fighting at all.
To flatten Fancheng, only a swarm of insects is needed, and there is no need for Xi Luo to take action. Xi Luo's personal purpose of coming here is always only one, and that is to capture the hateful Xian Yao alive!
"In that case, I will just kill you. I want to see if Xian Yao will show up."
Xi Luo raised her hand, and a ray of lightning spurted out from her palm, like a huge jet of thunder, a hundred meters wide, directly opening up a scorched earth road in the wooded area ahead, and countless trees and land were all blown away by the lightning!
These trees were originally set up by Fancheng to block the advance of the insect swarm, at least to slow down their pace a little, but no one expected that this first layer of obstacle would be easily overturned by Xi Luo.
"Kill everyone in the city!"
Xi Luo's eyes were cold. At her command, the swarm of insects on the ground, which had been impatient for a long time, let out a roar.
"Hahaha! We've finally waited until this moment! Charge! Destroy Fancheng!"
Song Tianfen was ecstatic. He was the first to lead the charge, leading a large swarm of void insects and galloping across the scorched earth!
The intelligence of the void swarms is still relatively low, and they need a leader to issue simple commands to lead them. Moreover, these swarms recently had a feast on the Lizhou continent, and the rich spiritual resources here have caused their sizes to swell a lot. Even the smallest and most agile void swarms are as big as a car, and cannot run very fast.
But the truly terrifying thing about the Void Swarm is its unreasonable devouring power. Although its advance is slow, wherever it goes, no grass grows and all living things are destroyed. In the blink of an eye, even the scorched earth and charcoal are completely devoured.
They were like a carpet sweep, unstoppable, countless huge insects rushed over, and the earth began to shake violently!
“This…this is horrible!”
"We're dead! There's no way we can survive this!"
