The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Princess! There's something amiss outside!"

Just then, the imperial guard who had been standing watch at the white marble railing suddenly turned around and shouted.

The tense voice made everyone instantly jump!

One by one, they got up and walked outside!

"What's going on? Did the people from the various sects fail to find the treasure and return looking dejected?" Zhou Botong casually hung up his wine gourd and walked towards the white marble railing.

These white marble railings have been weathered by time and eroded by rain, and are now covered with a layer of bluish-green moss.

Moreover, because it is in the far north, it is not only covered with moss, but also has a thin layer of ice on the outside.

Murong Jiu, looking curious, also came to the railing, glanced outside, and then exclaimed in surprise, turning to Jia Daoshi and saying, "My lord! Come quickly and see, something really has happened!"

With a suspicious look on his face, Jia Daoshi led his group of wives to Murong Jiu's side.

Looking down the mountain, I was immediately dumbfounded!

The terracotta warriors, which were originally motionless, have now come to life!

Standing atop the palace on the mountaintop and looking down, one sees terracotta warriors covering the entire mountainside, charging towards the palace like soldiers on the front lines!

"This is..." Jia Daoshi's eyes showed suspicion, "Could this be a mechanical beast?"

Mechanical beasts were all too familiar to Jia Daoshi.

“That’s right, I only suspected it before, but now I can confirm it.” Weng Changting nodded: “They are indeed mechanical beasts, and humanoid mechanical beasts at that. It must have been those people who left who accidentally triggered some mechanism, which activated all these mechanical beasts!”

"Sister Changting, are all these the work of your ancestor? How could they be made so realistically?" Yi Qianxiao murmured, the scene before her eyes was truly shocking.

Not only were there people, but also chariots and generals on horseback!

"This is a lost technique of the Drywood Sect, the Unparalleled Mechanism in the Overbearing Mechanism Technique, also known as the Unparalleled Man or the Unparalleled Ghost! This kind of Unparalleled Ghost has skin as hard as metal and stone, and cannot be hurt by swords and blades! Its combat power is comparable to the Vajra Realm or even the Free Realm, making it extremely difficult to deal with!" Weng Changting explained.

"Peerless Ghosts? Looks like this is going to be fun!" In Jia Daoshi's sight, some of the Peerless Ghosts were even riding horses, running incredibly fast!

Moreover, these peerless ghosts almost ignored the steps and climbed the mountain as if it were flat ground. Especially the peerless ghosts at the foot of the mountain, they used both hands and feet and rushed to the bottom of the white marble railing in just a few breaths!

"roll!"

With a shout, Weng Changting lashed out a long whip!

"Snapped!"

The whip left only a faint white mark on Wushuang Gui's body. Wushuang Gui's body swayed slightly before continuing to charge upwards, throwing a punch directly at Weng Changting's chest!

Weng Changting was stunned for a moment.

Her whip strike, infused with internal energy, was meant to shatter the internal mechanisms of these peerless ghosts, rendering them incapable of movement.

But clearly, her whipping did not achieve the desired effect.

"boom!"

Jia Daoshi acted just in time, smashing the head of the peerless ghost with a punch, and then kicking out a kick that shattered the opponent's entire body!

"Wow!"

"Ping ping pong pong!"

A pile of parts rolled down the cliff!

It really is a mechanical art!

So, the reason they walked over just now was because these mechanisms had not been activated!

Now, no one knows who triggered the mechanism, causing these peerless ghosts to go completely berserk!

Now, swarms of undead rushed up, and from Jia Daoshi's perspective, it looked just like the scene of the Orcs attacking Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!

Some of the unparalleled ghosts simply climbed up the hillside!

Another group rushed up the white marble steps!

These unparalleled ghosts move in a way that is indistinguishable from real people!

Just like a warrior with flesh and blood!

"Wang Dachui, you take twenty men and block the entrance to the steps. The rest of you, guard the platform. Under no circumstances can these ghostly things be allowed to come up!" Huang Yaoshi shouted.

He threw a punch at the first of the Musou demons charging forward.

The power of this punch was extremely fierce. It not only cleaved the Peerless Ghost in two, but the broken body also smashed the heads of two other Peerless Ghosts nearby!

As expected, only Wushuang Gui himself could shatter Wushuang Gui's body!

After a brief skirmish, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

These unparalleled demons may seem tough, but their attack power is not strong, and their necks are their weak points. If you hit their necks, you can most likely destroy them completely!

"Ah Jiu, aim for their necks!"

Di Qinglin stood guard beside Murong Jiu and said.

"understand!"

Murong Jiu held a pistol in his hand and began to aim!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dark muzzle of the gun fired bullets at high speed, instantly blasting the charging Musou ghosts to pieces!

The officials of the court were amazed when they saw this!

This was the first time they had ever seen this kind of weapon!

"Could this be the firearms that those people from the Western Regions are talking about?" Yuchi Zhenjin asked in surprise.

“I’ve seen the firearms of the Western Regions, and they are far less powerful than this. Moreover, it takes a long time to reload the gunpowder each time it fires! The power is also worlds apart! This is definitely not something from the Western Regions!” Fei Yan said with certainty.

"If it's not from the Western Regions, then it must be from the Jinshi School!" Yuchi Zhenjin's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Everyone says that Jia Tisi comes from the Jinshi School, so only the skilled craftsmen of the Jinshi School could make such exquisite weapons!"

The Desert Eagle in Murong Jiu's hands greatly shocked them!

With everyone's cooperation, in the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the entire mountainside was covered with the remains of the Peerless Ghost!

The advantage of the mechanical beings is their sheer numbers; in terms of combat power alone, they have been completely overwhelmed!

"This can't go on. There are too many of them. We can't afford to fight them, or we'll be exhausted sooner or later!" Yu Chi Zhenjin said coldly.

Two imperial guards have already been exhausted and their bodies pierced by Wushuang Gui's spear!

"Retreat! Go down the other side of the mountain, I'll cover you!"

Huang Yaoshi roared and began to organize the retreat.

……

after an hour.

The group retreated to a valley.

Strangely enough, these peerless ghosts did not pursue them after they retreated to within a hundred meters of the palace.

Five people were lost in this battle.

Eight others were injured and need rest.

“It seems that this island is indeed quite dangerous, but this valley is relatively safe.” Huang Yaoshi thought for a moment, “Leave a few people to take care of the wounded, the rest of you, come with me to scout ahead.”

The valley is now surrounded by jagged rocks, with only one road leading in and out.

There are no signs of life in the valley, only snow-covered pine trees. As long as you guard the only road, safety is not a problem.

As for Huang Yaoshi saying he was going to scout ahead, those who know, know exactly what he was going to do.

……

The sky above the island was completely obscured by the sun, covered only by a hazy layer of gray clouds!

And in the blink of an eye, it even started snowing!

This is a cold and frigid world!

Upon setting foot on this land, Yae Ichimaru and his group suddenly became excited!
