Ji Yuan muttered subconsciously, then exchanged glances with the people around him.
Today, although Yuan Yongcheng's aura is getting higher and higher, his eyes are actually lifeless, his divine light is scattered, and most of the essence and blood in his body have been burned by the evil fire, turning into wisps of essence and being swallowed up by Su Hongzhu.
Even if Sun Youfang takes action at this time, even if he can save his life, it will be of no use. With most of his foundation destroyed, whether he can retain the strength of the flesh realm in the future is a big problem.
But before, the other party had the opportunity to intervene and prevent the situation from deteriorating to this point.
However, from beginning to end, Sun Youfang did not take any action, and he was probably no longer in the county government.
"If it is just a chess piece, why bother cultivating it instead of directly controlling the mind or refining it into a puppet demon soldier?"
Zhao Yuansong couldn't help but express his doubts.
If you want to control the entire county by controlling the county magistrate Yuan Yongcheng, you don't have to be so troublesome. You can just use magic means to control his mind.
Even under the current situation, it is possible to refine it into a demonic soldier, and the left and right sides are just chess pieces, and they can be put to their best use.
Instead of introducing him to the magic way a year or two in advance, giving up his original cultivation level and turning to practice magic martial arts.
The time, calculation, and large amount of resources consumed in this process are completely inestimable.
After all, if the second level of cultivation is so easy to obtain, in the entire Qianyu City, there will not be only the ancestors of the Zhenshan Sect who have reached the early stage of the Muscle and Bone Realm.
The old man of the Zhao family no longer needs to be bewitched by evil spirits, and is now preparing to seize his body and be reborn.
"Is there any back-up plan?"
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, and he scanned the surroundings carefully.
However, no matter how he observed, he could never find any clues.
But the suspicion in his heart became deeper and deeper. He didn't believe that the other party would do some useless work.
As for what is happening in the city now, it basically has its own reason. For example, the Zhao family, Baiyun Temple, Chenghuang Temple and other places have finally turned into a large array of eyes that closed off a whole area of the county.
"What role can the obscene temple play in it?"
Suddenly, he thought of the obscene temple that was destroyed in the first place. If a group of people had not discovered this place at the beginning, what position would they be in now in this matter?
"careful!"
Song He gave a low drink and stepped back at the same time as his wife.
As soon as he heard the sound, the faces of the people around him changed slightly. Even if they stepped back three or four feet, they were almost close to the high wall of the county government office.
And just after a few breaths, Yuan Yongcheng, whose demonic aura had reached its peak, suddenly let out a loud shout.
Wave after wave of tyrannical Gang Qi poured out of his body, dissipating completely in the blink of an eye. Immediately, the evil fire in his body sprang up, transforming from nothingness into an entity visible to the naked eye.
In just an instant, Yuan Yongcheng was swallowed up by the evil fire. All the essence, blood, demonic energy, etc. were burned, and only traces of pure energy were left, which were swallowed into Su Hongzhu's belly.
These pure energy quickly integrated into her bones, and the feeling of comfort was like the most extreme enjoyment in the world, causing a blush to appear on her transformed face.
After more than ten breaths, when the evil fire dissipated between heaven and earth, Yuan Yongcheng's figure also disappeared, leaving only ashes on the ground and an official seal.
Ji Yuan and others looked at each other. Although they had expected it, the fact that no one took action until Yuan Yongcheng died still made them feel a little emotional.
Although I don't know if there is any other deep meaning in this, the character of people in the devil's path can also be seen from this.
"Did you succeed?"
After a long time, a shout of surprise broke the silence among everyone.
Looking over one after another, they saw Jiang He and others running towards him with joyful faces. Countless possessed people fell outside the gate behind them.
"Those demons suddenly stopped moving and then fell straight to the ground."
Jiang He came in front of everyone and told everyone present about the situation outside the county government office.
However, he did not see any joy on the faces of the group of people. Instead, he saw deep doubts.
Logically speaking, killing the demon here is an excellent thing. It means that they have taken a big step forward on the road to relieving the crisis.
boom!!!
At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly rose in the sky, and soon a huge fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Even though it was far away, a slightly deafening sound could still be heard.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liuqing's expression immediately changed: "It's the Three Sword Society's distress fireworks!"
Everyone looked up and saw that the direction of the fireworks that had been lingering in the sky for a long time was indeed where the City God's Temple was.
For the people of the Three Swordsmen Association to release fireworks for help even though they knew there was no rescue, they must have encountered an extremely dangerous situation.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you and Mr. Xu will go with the others first, and I will come later!"
After Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze, he immediately made arrangements.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuansong nodded, and then he led his junior brothers and sisters, Xu Liuqing and a dozen San Dao Hui disciples, and hurried towards the City God's Temple.
Although everyone knew that judging from the distance between the two places, the situation might be irreversible by the time they arrived, they still couldn't help but have some hope.
"Why don't we go there together?"
Song He turned around and looked at Ji Yuan, who looked pale.
He shook his head, and with Guo Tao's support, he walked step by step to Su Hongzhu's side, then bent down and picked up the official seal on the ground.
"I have to think about some things clearly, otherwise no matter how many people join me, I will eventually fall into the trap arranged by that person."
Ji Yuan whispered, and then motioned to the fifth senior brother to take him a few steps forward and stood outside the lobby where the county government heard cases.
After seeing Yuan Yongcheng die but the person behind him did not come to rescue him, there was always a dark cloud lingering in his heart, and there was always an indescribable feeling.
It seemed that except for the very beginning, after Zhao Yuansong discovered the existence of the monster at the bottom of the river, they seemed to be being led by someone every step of the way.
In other words, there is always someone ahead of them...
All their efforts in the past two days were actually in a situation that was arranged in advance. No matter how hard they worked, they even killed the evil spirits in the Zhao family, Baiyun Temple and even the county.
I still haven’t been able to get out of this situation that has formed!
"The Zhao family is undoubtedly the strongest force in Qianyu City, and has the qualifications to command the black and white in the city."
Ji Yuan lowered his head and muttered, as if he was trying to figure out the context of the whole matter: "This qualification is even more substantial than that of Liu Hongsheng, who has been on the job for decades."
"Baiyun Temple is a place of practice for all Buddhist monks with a radius of hundreds of miles, and the magical power of Buddhism is the best for restraining demons."
"There are a thousand officers and soldiers in the city guarding camp. There is no shortage of all kinds of armor, strong bows, etc. The battle formation can block several times the demons."
"There are eight spiritual officials in the City God's Temple, plus the City God who can monitor the whole city and cultivate in the city, and his killing power will increase a lot."
"The county government here is the top priority. If you have control of it, you can cut off the connection with the court and set up a blockade formation more smoothly."
In addition to being the strategic points of the formation, these five places have extremely important weight in themselves. If they are changed to other places, it is very likely that the plan will fail and many variables will be added.
In comparison, what role did the Temple of Obscenity that Ji Yuan and others destroyed in the first place play in it?
Is it just to accumulate incense?
But even if it has accumulated a hundred years of incense, what effect can it have on those who are secretly planning it?
Ji Yuan has even begun to suspect that the other party has been secretly planning for hundreds of years. The so-called so-called spiritual treasure is probably not the so-called amazing spiritual treasure three hundred years ago, but some other purpose that has not been discovered yet.
But if you just want to practice magic skills or create some powerful demon energy, wouldn't it be better to find a remote corner? There is no need to choose Qianyu City, a county town less than a thousand miles away from the county seat.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for the opponent to avoid the experts of the imperial court in the hinterland of a county.
Even if you have the cultivation of the third realm, it is basically impossible to do it unless the opponent has formed a golden elixir or achieved the status of a land god.
Otherwise, in the Mingjian Division established by the imperial court with great efforts, those who enjoy countless resources, are decisive and ruthless in killing, would be enough to kill all existences under any golden elixir.
No matter whether you are a god or a ghost, a demon or a devil, even if you are an immortal monk on the mountain, or a Confucian, Taoist, military or Buddhist scholar at the foot of the mountain, there will be no difference under a horizontal sword.
Mingjiansi's Hengdao has a great reputation even in several countries surrounding the Dayu Dynasty.
Even the monks of the Third Realm changed their expressions when they heard the name of the sword holder. If they knew that they were being targeted, they would even wish they could burrow dozens of feet underground and never be discovered by anyone again in this life.
Ji Yuan did not believe that the person behind the secret plan was really not afraid of the threat from the swordsman of Mingjian Division, and felt that he could successfully avoid it by his own means.
If the other party were to do it, the sword wielder would no longer be the sword wielder. Not to mention the world of martial arts and martial arts in several countries, whether he could get out of Kyoto was a problem.
But this person's current behavior seems to be completely unafraid of the sword holder, and he has never even worried about the threat of the Dayu Dynasty. This in itself is an extremely abnormal thing.
Unless the other party has something they have to do, it is important enough to ignore all dangers!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Ji Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have grasped a certain key link.
"Let's go! Go to the City God's Temple!"
He quietly put away the official seal in his hand, and after taking a deep look at the lobby in front of him, he turned around and shouted to everyone.
Although they had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't say much and followed Ji Yuan outside the county government office.
As he arrived outside the county government office and looked at the possessed people lying on the ground, an indescribable emotion emerged in his heart.
However, a group of people were helpless to deal with this situation. They only hoped that after the crisis in the city was resolved, the people affected by the formation could recover on their own, or they could place their hope in the court's experts.
After sighing in their hearts, Ji Yuan and others rushed to the Chenghuang Temple with all their strength. Along the way, in addition to the human demons who fell to the ground and were unconscious, they also met many surviving people.
In the original panic, these people were still able to persist, and even picked up objects such as tables, chairs, and benches around them, and had no choice but to fight with the demon.
But after all the demons fell into coma, the people who had been fighting back before could no longer hold back their nerves and knelt on the ground and began to cry loudly.
Some are holding their possessed relatives, some are holding corpses that are not yet cold, and some are even holding people whose minds have collapsed and their eyes are aimlessly looking somewhere. Even if the people around them shout, they can't produce the slightest reaction.
What can defeat the will most is sometimes not the immediate danger and fear, but the tranquility after everything. All kinds of emotions come in like a tide and can drown a person's will in an instant.
As for these situations, Ji Yuan and his group are powerless and can only rely on the people themselves to slowly resolve them.
It's just that this kind of experience will probably take a lifetime to get over bit by bit. Some people may even take decades and still not be able to forget what they have experienced today. This chapter has been completed!
