Immortal Road.

Above the dark sky.

Be it the stars or the moonlight, everything fell silent in an instant, plunging into a long darkness!
In the Cangluan King City below, all the bonfires and torches were extinguished instantly, and a cold wind blew in. The lights were bright one moment, but the next moment it was pitch dark.

In the palace.

Princess Youmei was bathing in a pool of flower petals, splashing the water with her hands, when suddenly she felt a chill on her back and heard a commotion outside. She frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"what happens?"

Someone outside the palace reported:
"Master Imperial Master, the holy fire has gone out. The barbarians are in a panic. No matter how I try to appease them, it's useless!"

"Don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."

After she came out of the bath and arrived at the palace training ground, she found that the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect were surrounding her, and tens of thousands of Tiger Guards were all kneeling on the ground!

According to insiders, since the barbarians replaced the witch tribe more than 3,000 years ago, they have used the blood of the witch tribe's saint to ignite the sacred fire in the royal court, and piled up the witch tribe's skulls to form a Jingguan, which has been burning for 3,000 years.

Never interrupted!

All the barbarians have grown up watching the sacred fire burning day by day, and have long been accustomed to it.

The sudden extinction today has brought them a huge shock, as they thought that God wanted them to die, and their spirits collapsed and they were in a panic. In addition, the totem poles were taken away, and the lack of faith made them lose their support and become more vulnerable.

At this moment, no matter how much you persuade him, he won't change his mind!
Looking outside the palace, all the barbarian civilians were also making a commotion. Many people did not dare to stay in the houses and ran to the streets to pray together.

Some people are even more cruel and ignorant, choosing to slaughter newborn babies for sacrifice!

For a moment, the whole city was in chaos.

"Silence! The Chief has ordered that the entire city be under martial law and a curfew will be implemented immediately. No one is allowed to go out or run around!"

Youmei Ji looked around and found the leader of the Tiger Guard.

"You must quickly mobilize the army now and ensure stability in the city."

"Follow the order!"

The leader of the Tiger Guard is a die-hard royal, and only obeys the orders of the King. Now Princess Youmei is the King's spokesperson, so whatever she says is what it is, and they will basically carry it out in full.

"Anyone who disrupts order will be killed immediately!"

Following the cold words, the Tiger Guards, under the command of their commander, reorganized and returned to their ranks, then left the palace to suppress the situation in the city.

Lin Shan in the sky waited for a long time, but nothing earth-shattering happened as he had imagined. It seemed that the beginning was a bit scary, and then nothing happened.
"That's it???"

He stared with eyes wide in disbelief, having accumulated 100 points of bad luck, only to end up using them in vain!
But just when he was getting impatient, he suddenly had an idea. He opened his Star-piercing Eyes and observed the fortunes of all living beings in the Cang Luan King City below.

The pillars of luck are of different sizes and lengths, and hundreds of thousands of luck of different colors are densely packed together. At this moment, they are shrouded by a thick black fog above their heads!

Because there are too many living beings involved, the black fog spreads a little slowly, but it is undeniable that it is indeed affecting them.

Each wisp of black mist seeped in from the void and wrapped around every house and every barbarian in the royal court like a living thing.

Lin Shan was thoughtful. It seemed that the magical power of Doom Halo was delayed and the effect could not be seen immediately. It required some patience to observe.

A quarter of an hour later.

A riot suddenly broke out in the northeast corner of the city, followed by a violent conflict!

The Tiger Guards sent troops to suppress the riot, but were met with resistance and a surprise attack. The crowd rioted and pushed in the darkness, triggering a larger-scale fight.

Soon after, a beast riot broke out in the southwest corner. This was the ranch for the wild beasts of the royal court. Thousands of blue-winged war phoenixes suddenly had red eyes, scratched the throats of the trainers with their sharp claws, broke through the constraints of the cages, flew out freely, and swooped down on the city.

The attack was indiscriminate, with feathers cutting through the flags on the city walls like knives, and even dozens or hundreds of artillery towers were destroyed.

The Tiger Guards realized that the mad beast was even more terrifying, and quickly turned their attention to dealing with the Cang Yi War Luan.

But at this moment, it rained heavily. Clouds in the sky gathered secretly and a drizzle began to fall, penetrating the formation and ignoring the shield.

At first no one cared, but after a gust of wind, it turned into a heavy rain!
No one knew what substance was contained in the rain, but it turned out to be black raindrops, sticky and soft. They spread out like ink when they hit the ground, and soon deep holes were made. Many houses were corroded and collapsed, and more and more wild beasts lost their minds and began to riot.

People were running away on the streets, crying, shouting and cursing were heard everywhere, and the shocking sound of horse hooves rang out, indicating the arrival of the Tiger Guards!

In Lin Shan's eyes, strands of Savage Tiger's luck gathered into a long green torrent. Wherever it passed, the black fog was dispelled and bad luck was eliminated, representing the restoration of order.

As expected, they are the elite of the barbarian royal court!

However, after they left, the street was submerged in the black fog again, and the pollution of bad luck was everywhere.

Then, the Temple of Heaven deep inside the palace collapsed without warning, foul-smelling methane gushed out of the cracks in the ground, and three shamans who were dancing and praying fell into the abyss, screaming as they were swallowed up by the mud mixed with heavy rain.

When Princess Youmei led everyone in the royal court to arrive, they were a step late and immediately became furious!

"Who made them dance?"

Someone behind me answered.

"Your Excellency, this is the shamans praying to the heavens for our well-being. They have no ill intentions and this must be an accident."

"What nonsense!"

Everyone shrank their heads in fear, their protective auras were spotted by the foul rain, and they couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Youmeiji looked around with a stern gaze.

"Don't think I don't know how to perform sacrifices. They are clearly praying to the heavens to remove the poisonous snake that is entangled in the palace. Who is that poisonous snake?"

"."

Everyone kept silent, lowered their heads and trembled in their hearts.

"I have been diligently assisting the Chieftain, but how come I have become a poisonous snake in the hearts of you barbarians? Speak up!!!"

The eyes of the Black Lotus Sect members were as sharp as knives, while the eyes of the barbarian royal family were vague and they were shaking with fear.

"You don't think that I have confused your chieftain and affected your tribe's fortune, which led to today's punishment."

Every word uttered by Youmei Ji was extremely cold. All the ministers of the Cangluan royal family denied it flatly, but there was a different voice shouting at the side!

"That's right, it's you, Princess Youmei! You deceived the people with lies, deceived the superiors and the subordinates, deceived the chieftain's trust, and took away the totems of various tribes, causing the northern human race to easily break through, and the southern witch tribe took advantage of the opportunity to enter! The chaos of Jiuli, the sin for thousands of years, is all your fault."

Everyone was shocked, turned around and rushed forward to cover the man's mouth.

"Cang Ying, what are you talking about?"

But in the next moment, the young man who spoke suddenly burst into laughter.

Exploded and died on the spot!

They looked up with dull eyes, only to see Youmeiji slowly retracting her hand in the darkness, ignoring the blood splattered all over the ground.

The contemptuous look made her look superior.

"Ants, you dare to criticize our country's teacher, you deserve to be killed!" An old prince of the Cangluan royal family was indignant. He trembled and hugged the young man who fell in a pool of blood, and couldn't help crying out in pain:

"Cang Ying is the youngest Jindan in our clan, and he is only fifty years old. How can you kill him so easily?"

"Silence!"

"Do not talk."

"Be careful"

Although everyone felt sympathetic, they quickly crowded forward together, protecting him with their bodies to prevent him from being killed by Youmei Ji.

The woman in the sky chuckled and left, completely ignoring the anger of the royals.

"Youmei Ji, I will fight you!!!"

The old prince was heartbroken, and those around him surrounded him and tried to persuade him. On this unbearable rainy night, separations of life and death were taking place inside and outside the palace.

The city wall on the east side collapsed under the iron hooves of the army.

As soon as the swords in the hands of the Tiger Guard soldiers touched the ground, the blades immediately rusted into slag, the wild beasts under their crotches wailed as their flesh and blood melted, and black vines grew between their skeletons and strangled the knights.

"This is a curse from the earth. Go away, stay away from here!"

A foul smell emanated from the deep cracks in the ground, and twelve thick, greasy tentacles climbed up the collapsed wall from below.

And the next moment!
"Woooooooooo~~~"

There was a long echo, coming from nowhere, and all the chaos in the city disappeared.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the heavy rain stopped suddenly, the stars showed their eyes, the moon climbed up to the willow branches, the breeze was smooth, and the evil wind gradually stopped.

The tentacle monster that had just peeled off half of its body quickly drilled back into the crack in the ground. The violent and mindless beasts everywhere regained their wits and obediently returned to their nests one by one.

The civilians who were making trouble outside also regained consciousness and their eyes became clear. The Tiger Guards who raised their swords and prepared to kill were bewildered and didn't know what they were doing.

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

The time limit of the doom aura has expired, and it only lasted for half an hour. The magical power seed shriveled up again, and the doom value was reset to zero!
And it was just this short half hour.

The barbarian royal court of Cangluan, a thousand-year-old ancient city, was in a horrible state, with corpses strewn all over the ground, it was a complete mess!

The army suppressed the barbarian civilians in the streets, which aroused great public indignation and was like a heavy blow to internal unity. From then on, the army and the people hated each other.

More importantly, the city defense formation had been destroyed unnoticed during the internal conflict.

Only the huge disc above was still pouring out a curtain of water to protect the dilapidated royal city.

Without saying a word, Lin Shan, holding the Lingbao Barbarian Blood Javelin seized from the Wuguling, smashed into the city like a meteorite!
Ding ding ding ding ding~~~
The crisp sounds of metal striking each other spread in all directions, and everyone looked up at the sky with expressions of horror.

I saw cloud patterns rising from the disc, and a huge mushroom head grew out!
His face was haggard, with ugly hair made of mushroom petals, and exaggerated facial features, staring straight ahead.

Ouch————

With a long, sharp howl, Lin Shan suddenly felt terror coming, as if something had struck his soul directly, and an unknown insect was drilling holes in his spiritual level!
"go!"

He suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and escaped, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

After he left, the mushroom-head on the disc not only did not go back, but actually stayed there, becoming a stubborn tenant.

Below, Youmei Ji glanced up at the sky, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes.

"Could it be that the human race caused the chaos in the city just now?"

The Wushen Plate is the most precious treasure of the Wu Clan. It was suppressed by the barbarians in the royal court to seal off their luck. Once it revives, it will be unstoppable, like a double-edged sword, slowly getting out of control.
Deep inside the palace.

An old barbarian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, steam rose from his head, illusory bubbles exploded one after another, his body shook three times, and his momentum suddenly weakened.

"Brother Dao, you're back!"

"How is it, have you found a breakthrough?"

"How about it? Can we take the city tomorrow?"

"Are you ok?"

Lin Shan returned to the Human Alliance headquarters. He felt a slight pain in his head. He hurriedly said a few words and then found an empty tent to sit down and recover.

There was a pain in my head like needles pricking me, as if I was bleeding, but in fact what was lost was my soul.

Soul Qi is the blood of the soul. If it is lost too much, one will go from weakness to fainting, from fainting to coma, and even from coma to the loss of the soul!

Although he has become a master of great supernatural powers, his soul has not transformed into a primordial spirit, which is his only weakness.

"What on earth was that thing that could stab me just now?"

Through the recovery of the soul infant, that feeling soon disappeared. Fortunately, Huang Dao Lingyun secretly protected his body and helped him resist most of the damage, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious by that blow, and the consequences would have been disastrous!
When he thinks back on it now, he still feels terrified. He almost underestimated the barbarians. If he had been a little more alert and careful, he wouldn't have been ambushed.
This small test gave him a glimpse into the tip of the iceberg of his power of misfortune.

Facing an impregnable opponent, you can rely on this trick to sit back and relax, causing the other camp to lose their composure and waste time, which will give him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
It’s a pity that the misfortune value is only 100 points. Once it is used up, you have to keep waiting for the disaster star to slowly infuse and transmit it to you.

"This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy from within. Now that we have successfully caused civil unrest, we might as well take advantage of the victory!"

In the next few days, Lin Shan led the three coalition forces to launch a fierce attack.

Even after repairing the city defense formation overnight, it was breached the next day. When the human race saw that Cangluan King City had been severely damaged, especially the collapse of the east wall, they focused their attention there.

Many of the defensive arrangements inside and outside the city along the way had long been useless, having been completely destroyed by geological eruptions and weather disasters. The coalition forces once broke into the city and fought several street battles with the barbarians!

The strength of the Tiger Guards was very impressive. They were worthy of being the elite of the Barbarian Royal Court. They were able to repel the attacks every time and recapture the pass.

Lin Shan has never shown up.

Because he could feel that there was an aura in the opposite city that was locking onto him and preventing him from moving rashly. The source of the initial pain in his soul had not yet been found, and the mushroom head in the sky was staring at him all the time!
The two camps fought fiercely and there was no clear winner. They attacked during the day and were driven out at dusk.

After all this fighting, both sides were extremely exhausted. The Wushan Yin Clan, the Mingzhu Sect, and the Wudao Sect had to recruit soldiers from the rear again because their manpower was greatly reduced, and the barbarians finally welcomed the troops to support the king!

Late at night.

When the news came that the army outside the city was entering the capital, undercurrents surged in the city. Many court nobles gathered together and ordered their men to polish their armor and prepare for action tonight.

The army outside the city was also prepared and secretly sneaked into the city in batches. The soldiers guarding the city had long been replaced by the nobles' retainers, who quietly lowered the drawbridge to allow people to pass.

As a large number of soldiers and horses entered the city, they could no longer hide their bodies and there was a tendency for them to spread.

Finally, someone stood up, raised his arm and called for help, gathered troops from all directions to surround the palace, and decided to fight tonight to decide the outcome!

"Youmei Ji, you are a demon who brought disaster to the country and the people. You should have gone to hell long ago. This day next year will be the anniversary of your death. Everyone, kill me!!!"
