This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

"what!"

Upon learning of the strange events that had occurred among the soldiers of the Rising Sun Army camp, Ye Ningshuang abruptly sat up from the dragon throne, completely devoid of her usual elegance and composure.

She was initially very resistant to the idea of ​​demonizing ordinary soldiers, but the Demon God Cult was unwilling to back down on this point.

Many court officials and members of the royal family had private connections with the Demon God Cult and put pressure on her, leaving her with no choice.

Although she has always been ruthless, once this plan is implemented, it will inevitably cause countless deaths and injuries.

But no one expected that the same disaster would befall them.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The envoys of the Demon God Sect have already gone to deal with it, and I believe they will be able to suppress it soon," Ye Chi quickly reassured her.

"But……"

Before the military officer who came to deliver the message could speak, Ye Chi quickly gave him a look, signaling him to take his leave first.

"Ye Chi, do you think this might be the work of the Demon God Cult? Aren't hundreds of thousands of Cang Yue soldiers enough? Hmph, what they call 'sacrifices'!" Ye Ning Shuang said angrily.

"Your Majesty, given the current situation, even if it was indeed their doing, there's nothing we can do. Hopefully, the losses won't be too great," Ye Chi said.

Previously, Yechi thought such a sinister plan was perfect for use against his opponents, but now that something like this has happened at the Rising Sun military camp, things are not looking good.

The reason he stopped the soldier from continuing was because the actual situation was worse than he had imagined.

It is said that the anomaly first occurred in a kitchen, but no one paid much attention to it. By the time the problem was discovered, all the soldiers had already eaten.

Fortunately, there was more than one kitchen in the army.

Even so, nearly ten thousand soldiers underwent abnormal changes.

The only saving grace was that there were many envoys of the Demon God Cult in the Rising Sun Army camp, which prevented the anomaly from erupting too quickly.

Outside the tent, a group of guards stood ready, their eyes fixed solemnly on the distance.

When the group first noticed the unusual activity, they didn't pay much attention; they were just being cautious and on guard.

After all, this is the central area of ​​the military camp, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops blocking the way outside. The Cangyue Kingdom would never dare to attack here silently.

Their first thought was assassins; similar assassinations had happened before, but none had ever succeeded.

Not to mention that this place is heavily guarded, not even a fly could get in.

Even if a skilled person were to sneak in, there were many more skilled people waiting around the Empress Dowager.

Even if a master cultivator were to intervene, they could not escape the encirclement and suppression by the envoys of the Demon God Cult.

The soldiers both feared and revered those divine messengers.

Firstly, they are ruthless and cunning, almost like monsters, but one has to admit that their strength is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So at this moment, watching the soldiers in the distance turn into monsters and rush towards their comrades is truly terrifying.

"What...what's wrong with them? Have the Demon God Cult betrayed us?" one of the soldiers asked nervously, swallowing hard.

"Shut up! Our duty is to protect the Empress Dowager; other matters are not our concern," the officer quickly reprimanded.

In truth, he himself wasn't confident, as he had seen similar methods before.

When the Imperial Preceptor Sang Qiu first arrived in Xuri, he happened to encounter a rebellion. He volunteered to go and quell the rebellion, but he did not bring a single soldier with him, only a guide.

That battle overturned all the officers' understanding.

Faced with tens of thousands of rebels, the Grand Preceptor simply waved his hand, and one rebel after another turned into monsters, frantically tearing at their comrades.

Then, more and more soldiers mutated until there was not a single survivor in the entire city.

In the end, all the monsters died suddenly for no apparent reason, and the imperial advisor set a fire...

The Imperial Advisor single-handedly suppressed the rebellion and thus secured his position as Imperial Advisor.

But only the general knew how tragic the scene was.

The rebels certainly deserved to die, but the people in the city were innocent.

Those unarmed and innocent civilians were all killed in a single day.

However, the Empress Dowager had only recently come to power and her power base was not yet secure, so she did not inquire into the details, or perhaps she simply did not care.

The officer had actually lost faith in the Rising Sun Imperial Family since then and wanted to retire from the military, but he dared not. He knew very well that if he left, he would be close to death.

Therefore, he never told anyone the specifics of that day.

However, the same situation has occurred again today.

The officer's hand, gripping the knife, trembled slightly. Perhaps, the scene of the past was about to repeat itself, and everyone would die.

This sudden turn of events greatly surprised the envoys of the Demon God Cult, as it was completely beyond their plans.

Most importantly, even the Piper could only barely control a few hundred mutated people.

Simply put, he has the means to command the mutated people to attack, but he has no way to stop them.

This tactic would be perfectly suitable for dealing with enemies, but in this particular situation, it would only add fuel to the fire.

Although the people who underwent the mutation did not pose a significant threat to these divine messengers, their sheer number far exceeded their control.

The only thing they can do now is to try to contain the mutation.

Their methods are indeed superior to those of ordinary people, but they are currently in a state of chaos with fires breaking out everywhere, resulting in one anomaly after another.

In addition, unless bitten directly by a mutated person, it will have an incubation period like a plague, and it is unknown when it will break out.

For a time, the entire Rising Sun Army camp was filled with unease.

"Quickly inform the Grand Preceptor of the situation here. The rest of you, follow me and stop them. In just a few hours, they will die from exhaustion." The piper instructed another divine messenger, then roared at the soldiers around him.

"Brothers, don't believe him. This was all done by the demons of the Demon God Cult. They just want to kill us. Let's all attack together and kill these divine messengers."

The piper had no choice but to play his flute to summon the mutated monsters around him to fight back.

But he didn't expect that such a move would completely enrage the public.

The soldiers who were initially hesitant also joined in.

"Everyone sees this, right? He's the one who turned our brothers into this! Kill him!"

"I knew it! They were pretending to help us before, but that's what they were up to."

"Brothers, rather than being bitten to death by these monsters, let's fight! Let's all charge together!"

A surge of anger rose within the piper, and he was about to unleash his flute to kill these ungrateful bastards, but he quickly abandoned the idea, sighed helplessly, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Unbeknownst to anyone, two figures in black robes appeared silently not far away, calmly activating the gourds in their hands to collect the souls from the battlefield.

Then, they vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed...
