Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 422: 432: The Evil Bush Approaches

"Bang!!"

More than a dozen huge heads, their eyes colorless and their pupils focused, fell to the ground with dull sounds, with fear that they had not yet reacted.

The phantom soldiers stopped upon hearing the sound. At the front of their team, a tall and thin figure raised his neck, which was longer than that of an ordinary person, and looked at Shen Tingmiao who was looking down from the top of the city wall.

"Ho..."

The slender figure had a ferocious smile on his face, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, weird and eerie.

His voice was sharp and hoarse, and it carried far away in the wind and rain.

"All troops, attack!"

There was no unnecessary nonsense. They came here to capture the county town in front of them.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and something seemed to be brewing in the gloomy clouds.

The rain was getting heavier and the wind was blowing cold, making the rain cut the cheeks of everyone on this earth like a sharp knife.

A roar filled with murderous intent exploded, and a crowd of people rushed towards the precarious city wall like a torrent.

"Zheng..."

The rain hit the cold blade, and the entire sky and earth were completely lit up by silvery-white light.

……

……

Inside the Huangxian Temple, Grandma Jiu was sitting cross-legged in the inner room, with wisps of smoke lingering around her, transforming into illusory white weasels chasing and playing.

As the enemy troops pressed forward, the entire Anle County fell into panic, which also led to a significant increase in the number of believers coming to worship Huangxian every day.

In such a world, if ordinary people want to survive, they need to establish their own beliefs in their hearts.

These beliefs are usually represented by secular gods or human immortals.

These immortals and gods who possess infinite power might lend a helping hand when they are in danger, thus allowing them to live longer in such a world.

"Suck--"

Grandma Jiu took a long breath and sucked all the cigarette smoke lingering around her into her mouth.

"It's finally here!"

She slowly opened her eyes, which were a golden color like glass, and her dark jade pupils emanated a bit of pressure like that of a secular god.

She sat in the temple, absorbing the incense and prayers of the people. She could learn about the news of Anle County from their prayers without having to go out to see it with her own eyes.

"After so long, they finally couldn't stand it anymore."

In the room filled with smoke, the figure of Huang Xian Patriarch suddenly appeared and slowly walked in through the closed stone wall.

She stared at Aunt Jiu's eyes for a while and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"As expected, he is the most gifted Yellow Immortal among our Northwest tribe. In such a short period of time, he has already begun to show extraordinary deity-like aura!"

Upon hearing this, Auntie Jiu shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that I still couldn't take the last step."

"It's okay, just take your time. I, your ancestor, have been stuck in the Jindan stage for so many years and have not been able to break through, but I still made it through, didn't I?"

"You are hundreds of years younger than me, and there is still plenty of time." Old Ancestor Huang Xian stroked the drooping hair of Grandma Jiu and comforted her.

"But we don't have time anymore!" Aunt Jiu said with a serious tone.

"Yimuwu and the two evil gods of Xieling Zhenjun have already ordered their men to attack the city. Given the situation in Anle County, they won't be able to hold out for long."

The Yellow Immortal Patriarch was also somewhat helpless: "In our clan, except for those who are still young at home, all the Yellow Immortals have been sent out."

"With the help of the Gray Fairy from Huangshi Village, it shouldn't be a problem to hold out for a while."

"Besides, didn't Miss Shen bring back two thousand people and two secular gods? It shouldn't be a problem to hold out until he comes back."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of melancholy in Huang Xian Laozu's voice.

She had bet on Lin Beixuan before, and had anticipated today's situation, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Moreover, Lin Beixuan's growth rate really shocked her, the ancestor of the Huangxian clan who had been for hundreds of years.

In her original plan, if Anle County could not be defended, then Huang Xian would lead the Shen Mansion and the disciples of the Xian family to flee to Luozhou.

Even if starving ghosts are rampant in Luozhou, with Huang Xian here, they should be able to keep the people in the Shen Mansion safe for the time being.

In her mind, she actually never thought that Lin Beixuan would be able to pacify Luozhou so quickly.

The result was unexpected.

The other party actually killed the source of the starving ghosts from the army of hundreds of thousands of starving ghosts, and regained control of Luozhou in the hands of the human race.

He also won over a group of Luozhou folk gods and formed a powerful army.

Patriarch Huangxian still remembers that when he first met the Beiming Army, he was a little frightened by the looks of those soldiers.

The goblins are naturally sensitive, and in their eyes, the Beiming Army's strong murderous intent is as dazzling as a flame burning in the darkness.

Having such an army means that one has the qualifications to have a say in these troubled times.

She also understood that the Evil Spirit Lord and the Zi Gu God understood this, which was why they accelerated their actions against Anle County, wanting to divide the ownership of Qingzhou as soon as possible.

By the way, let's test the man who controls Luozhou.

These two parties had never taken action against Luozhou before. One reason was that Luozhou's population had been reduced to only one tenth due to the starvation, and the weather was bad, so occupying it would not be of much use.

Secondly, in their opinion, the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost from Luozhou is a complete lunatic. Instead of wasting their own strength to eliminate him, it is better to leave him there. Maybe he can play some role in the future.

However, if Luozhou was controlled by one person leading a powerful army, the situation would be completely different.

Because such people are qualified to sit at the table for dinner and are on the same status as the Zi Gu God who occupies Changzhou and the Evil Spirit God who occupies Jiangmin.

To put it more realistically, local warlords are capable of turning the tables and becoming the masters at any time.

When the attention of both parties was focused on the Luozhou Beiming Army, the relationship between Lin Beixuan and Anle County was naturally magnified infinitely in the eyes of Zi Gu Shen and Xie Ling Zhenjun.

The simultaneous attack on Anle County by both parties was a tacit understanding.

Changzhou, Qingzhou, Luozhou, Jiangzhou, and Minzhou, these five regions have been abandoned by successive dynasties.

Originally, the Zi Gu God and the Evil Spirit Lord were the chess players playing chess on this board, but now there is an additional spectator.

Judging from his posture, he can sit down and play chess at any time.

The first wave of attempts with Anle County as the battlefield began.

The Yellow Immortal Patriarch returned to the present and looked at Grandma Jiu and said, "When the Yellow Immortals from your Huangshi Village came to me for help, I spotted you at first sight. To this day, my vision is indeed not bad. Even your vision of looking at people is nine levels better than mine."

Seeing that her ancestor was trying to show off again, Ninth Aunt's face darkened and she quickly interrupted him. "The situation in Anle County is urgent now. Now that I have come out of seclusion, it is time for me to do my part."

Huang Xian Patriarch followed Ninth Aunt's words and nodded without any disobedience, saying, "Let's go to West City!"

"Shen girl is in East City with the two thousand Beiming soldiers and two secular gods. There won't be any trouble in the short term."

"And West City only has the Gray Fairy from Haier Village and Qingyun Village. It's still too much for them to face that One-Eyed Five!"

It seemed as if Patriarch Huang Xian had seen through everything. He picked up the old pipe, took a puff, and then exhaled thick smoke rings.

Ninth Aunt nodded and disappeared into the room.

Patriarch Huangxian glanced at the place where Grandma Jiu disappeared, then slowly moved forward and sat down.

She puffed out smoke, and her eyes changed from a slightly playful expression to an extremely serious one.

Although she said it lightly, it would be extremely difficult for a small county like Anle County to hold out for a few days under the siege of two major forces. I'm afraid many people would die.

……

Grandma Jiu did not hesitate, but followed the advice of Old Ancestor Huang Xian and went directly to West City.

The city wall of the west city of Anle County is much stronger than that of the east city. At this time, Mr. Yimuwu, the prime minister under the command of the Purple Goddess, is stationed in the rear, quietly watching the entire battlefield with one eye.

He is a combination of five ghosts and is an extremely special ghost. Four of the five ghosts have no eyes, and only the ghost head in the middle has a vertical eye on his face. The other four ghosts rely on this eye to see things.

However, although he only has one eye, Mr. Yimuwu's eyesight is extremely terrifying. He can almost examine the surroundings like a divine eye. He can record and learn anyone's actions and methods instantly.

Amidst continuous roars, thirty thousand evil spirits roared and rushed towards the gate of West City.

These evil creatures did not have the strict discipline like the Shapeshifters. They sniffed the fresh scent of human flesh in the city. Their greedy eyes gathered together, forming a huge evil thought that wanted to devour the minds of the West City guards.

If it happens among ordinary people, an evil spirit is enough to make many families frightened and unable to sleep all night.

Now tens of thousands of evil spirits of all kinds have gathered together, and the oppression they bring is even more cumulative.

The guards who were in charge of defending the city could not help but feel terrified when they saw this scene. They swallowed their saliva one after another, and sweat oozed from the palms of their hands holding the hilts of swords and spears.

Fortunately, there were many courageous people present, so the morale of the army was not completely broken.

Among them, the strange people in Qingyun Village are the most conspicuous.

These strange people are somewhat different from normal people. If you are not familiar with them, you might think they are evil.

They usually roamed in the mountains and encountered many ghosts and monsters, so they were not afraid of the evil spirits under the city. Instead, they issued passionate shouts to boost morale.

"So what if it's evil? In the past, we could drive the evil spirits in this world into the deep mountains and they dared not come out. They can still do so now."

"The more you fear them, the more ferocious they become!"

"On the contrary, your blood is boiling and you are not afraid at all, so it dares not touch you."

"The more afraid you are, the faster you will die. If you don't want to die, then show your courage and chop them into pieces with your weapons."

The stranger who was speaking had his upper body exposed in the freezing wind and rain, but he didn't feel cold at all. The muscles on his chest were stretched and twisted together like a strange human face.

After he finished speaking, the other strange men in Qingyun Village raised their swords one after another, and their roars broke through the sky, which for a moment seemed to cover up the crazy roars of the evil spirits below the city.

Many guards who were previously terrified seemed to feel a little relieved by the deafening roar, so they also started to roar, trying to regain their trembling bodies with fear.

"Hiss...roar!!"

Without any orders, the evil spirits gathered outside the city and began to attack it.

The evil spirits with enormous power slammed into the city gate frantically, while the rest, like zombies, clung to each other and began to climb up the city wall.

"Add some kerosene!"

Under the organization of the strange man in Qingyun Village, the guards took action one after another, carrying buckets to the top of the city wall and pouring them down all at once.

Then a wisp of spark floated down, and a horrible flame burned all the way down along the evil spirit that was climbing up the wall.

Thunder and fire have always been the nemesis of evil spirits. Many evil spirits were turned into charcoal in the flames, but there were also those who successfully climbed up the city wall, waving their limbs as weapons and began to slaughter the people on the wall.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, greatly stimulating the subsequent attacks of the evil spirits and making them even more crazy.

The sounds of fighting, roaring, screaming...the city wall of West City in Anle County has turned into a hell on earth.

Those evil spirits that managed to reach the top used their strange strength and speed to rampage through the crowd.

As a guard raised his spear and stabbed out, another one pounced from the side and bit his throat. Blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing onto the face of the person next to him.

The gap in power between the two sides was too great, and fear arose again.

But at this moment, a light rebuke suddenly sounded.

It was a mouse dressed in fancy clothes, with a floating red shadow following it.

Lord Rat looked solemn. He raised his hand and waved it gently. Suddenly, countless grey shadows quickly gathered from all directions.

Among them were many gray rats of various shapes, some carrying daggers on their backs, some carrying gourds on their backs, and even some gray rats whose bodies suddenly grew larger while they were jumping and running, like giant buffaloes, swallowing the evil spirits into their mouths in one gulp.

At the same time, many disciples of the Yellow Immortal Horse also climbed up the city wall. They had already set up tables and burned incense in the Yellow Immortal Temple. Each of them was possessed by yellow incense and had infinite power. They were not afraid of the minions of evil spirits at all.

"Don't be outdone by these grey rats!"

A young man glanced at Rat Langjun and made a shrill sound.

There was a faint yellow smoke floating around his neck, as if a yellow fairy was lying on his shoulder.

Rat Langjun turned his head to take a look, snorted and ignored it.

The Gray and Yellow Immortals are born to be incompatible, just like the Yellow Immortal and the Willow Immortal.

However, they were forcibly tied together by the bond of Lin Beixuan. Although there were many conflicts among them, they still cooperated reluctantly under the arrangements of the ancestors of both sides.

After the two fairies, Gray and Yellow, joined in, the battle situation in West City improved significantly, and the evil spirits that climbed up to the top of the city were temporarily repelled.

However, there were too many evil spirits, and their methods were strange and unpredictable. Many of them still took advantage of the chaos to run into the city and began to cause panic.

This is what Mr. Ichimoku wants to see. His eyes can see many things clearly through obstacles.

But suddenly, he found that the evil spirits that ran towards Anle County disappeared inexplicably one by one.

At the same time, a pair of black jade eyes suddenly met his gaze.

Mr. Yimuwu was silent for a while, then he looked away and laughed: "Interesting!"

Next to his strange and terrifying head, four monster heads like long snakes poked out from behind him. They sniffed back and forth with their two hollow and tiny nostrils, opened their teeth as sharp as daggers, and laughed strangely.

"It has some of the flavor of incense from secular gods. What kind of god is it? Which organ is being refined?"

"Let's eat her!"
