Since a large number of refugees arrived outside Qiongdu and several city gates of Qiongdu were urgently closed, the atmosphere inside Qiongdu has become tense.

Some people say that keeping them locked up like this is not a solution.

As soon as the city gates closed, prices across the city began to rise. Some people rushed to grain shops to buy food, while others hoarded large quantities of vegetables.

The prices of grains and vegetables in the city change frequently.

Fights and brawls began to occur frequently.

What alarmed people more than the lack of vegetables and food was the rumors circulating outside.

There were rumors that the refugees came from Shengcheng, and that they were all infected with the plague, which would eventually spread to the city.

If we can't find a solution, everyone in the city will eventually get infected with the disease and die...

Just as people's anxiety was about to reach its peak, someone secretly learned that King Jing of Qi had quietly escaped through the west gate with his important court officials and a large number of imperial guards.

The person who found out about this immediately told their relatives and friends...

In this way, the news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of Qiongdu.

People began to panic and prepare to flee for their lives.

But before people could escape, the city underwent another dramatic change.

The east gate fell, and a large number of refugees poured into the city, along with countless multi-headed monsters. These monsters then engaged in a frenzied battle within the city.

Long queues had formed at several city gates, with many people waiting to exit.

The city suddenly descended into chaos, with people fleeing in all directions like madmen, also running frantically towards the city gates.

The city gate was already crowded with people and carriages, making it extremely congested. After the chaos broke out, people fled in all directions, and soon a stampede occurred.

After settling the Yao family members in, Ji Yunshuang led them to the South Gate, which was the closest gate to them.

The South Gate, being closest to the East Gate, was the first place to be attacked by the multi-headed monster.

No one understood what these monsters were, and they all panicked and ran around screaming.

Seeing the situation was dire, the soldiers guarding the city gates opened them wide. Some soldiers fled in fear, while others stayed behind to fight the monster, but as soon as they faced it, the monster bit off their arms.

Seeing the ferocity of the monsters, people grew increasingly fearful, and the city's inhabitants fled in a frenzy.

But the scene was too chaotic, and the suddenly appearing multi-headed monsters were far too ferocious. Many people were knocked to the ground, trampled by terrified onlookers, or devoured by the multi-headed monsters…

When Ji Yunshuang arrived with her people, the South Gate already resembled a living hell.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

The screams, cries for help, and wails of people were incessant.

Looking at this scene, Ji Yunshuang had a momentary illusion. It was as if she had returned to her past life, watching helplessly as her kind were strangled by mutated creatures.

Do not!

She would never allow the scene from her past life to repeat itself.

She must eliminate them...

The knife in her hand was frantically slicing through the multi-headed monsters.

The people thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly someone came to their rescue.

Those who were saved by Ji Yunshuang were grateful to have survived such a disaster, and after feeling fortunate, they were even more grateful.

"It's a god! A god has come to save us!"

"Yes, yes, yes! They're gods! They're truly amazing gods!"

"Thank you, Immortal Xie, we are saved."

……

The Zhou soldiers, including Liang Zhonglin, were in complete agreement with the Qi people's opinion. However, considering that their lord wanted to conceal his identity, they continued to kill monsters while explaining, "We are not immortals. That man is Lord Ji from our Zhou Kingdom. He came here specifically to rescue you after hearing that Qi Kingdom had been invaded by monsters."

It's said that he wasn't a deity, but some kind of Lord Ji from the Zhou Kingdom. Many people were a little taken aback.

Didn't their king send troops to attack the Zhou state? Aren't they enemies of the Zhou state? What kind of high-ranking official from the Zhou state would come to their rescue?

Ordinary people don't know who Ji Yunshuang is.

But many soldiers quickly realized who Ji Yunshuang was.

A few days ago, General Yao was imprisoned. At that time, rumors circulated that General Yao was a traitor who betrayed his country and was afraid of death. He was a complete coward.

It is said that he gave away all of Qi's hundreds of thousands of troops to Zhou, and brought back a very humiliating contract, demanding that Qi compensate Zhou with countless gold and silver treasures.

But later, when Lord Zhu returned from Shengcheng, General Yao was quickly released. Not only was General Yao released from prison, but court officials and wealthy merchants in Qiongdu were also asked to donate money.

The money was raised at the time specifically for compensation.

At this time, they also heard more news.

I heard that General Yao did not betray his country and collude with the enemy. The reason he lost the battle was because his soldiers were infected with the plague.

The army doctors of Qi were helpless against the plague in the army. It was Lord Ji of Zhou who brought medicine and saved the soldiers of Qi.

Could it be that this Lord Ji is the same Lord Ji who used medicine to save the Qi soldiers?

General Yao's arrival resolved their doubts.

Upon learning that Lord Ji was indeed a man from the State of Zhou, and that he had come with them to rescue people after hearing their cries for help, many of the city's guards had mixed feelings.

Their own king secretly fled with his royal guards.

Instead, it was the general of their enemy country who led his men to rescue them.

The soldiers were filled with emotion, but quickly composed themselves and joined Ji Yunshuang in killing monsters.

General Yao arrived with Xu Xi and other Zhou soldiers, as well as some scattered Qi soldiers they had rescued.

Xu Xi issued new weapons to all Qi soldiers.

These weapons were all taken out of Ji Yunshuang's spatial storage beforehand.

These weapons were far superior to those used by the Qi soldiers.

After Xu Xing distributed the weapons to the Qi soldiers, there were still quite a few left. Xu Xing distributed the remaining weapons to the Qi army, saying, "The shells on these monsters are extremely hard. The weapons you have cannot harm them. You will need to use the weapons of our Zhou state."

Normally, the soldiers of Qi would have been extremely indignant upon hearing this.

But at this moment, with life and death at stake, everyone felt only gratitude.

With their new weapons, the Qi army was now able to fight the monsters. Through their concerted efforts and fierce battle, the monsters at the south gate were finally wiped out.

Xu Xi and Lu Yinheng each led their men to clean up the monster corpses at the scene and treat the wounded.

Ji Yunshuang appeared to be standing still, but in reality, she released her mental power to sense the situation in other parts of the city.

The rescued people all knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Yunshuang.

"Thank you so much, divine being, for saving my life!"
