Chapter 349: Heaven Punishes Traitors, Caution Is the Most Important
As soon as this thought came up, Shi Xuan felt that the monitoring strength of the formation in Linyuan City had suddenly increased. Even if it was the Yinshen Venerable, it would be impossible to sneak out of the city and he would be discovered immediately.
Shi Xuan, who was still considering whether to leave the city to avoid the sharp edge, did not have to waste time to make a decision. If he really slipped out of the city at this time, he would definitely be detected by the formation and then killed by the Weiwu Corps outside the city. The possibility of successfully escaping was no more than 30%.
This 30% was because Shi Xuan did not know the principle of the battle formation of the Weiwu Corps for the time being. If it was based on the exquisite cooperation of the Jindan Grandmaster, the Soul Cultivator, etc., then under the interference of his Tai Chi diagram to fix the earth, fire, wind and water, a battle formation facing him might be broken before the formation could even operate. But now there are two corps in total, and he is unable to fight four hands with two fists, and is attacked from both sides.
The most important thing is, if the battle formation only uses the Jindan Grandmaster and the Soul Cultivator as the source of power, and the formation is exquisite in the Yinshen Venerable or the formation diagram and flag of the magic weapon level or the spiritual weapon level, the effect of the Tai Chi diagram will be greatly reduced. In this case, facing the battle formation, Shi Xuan's fate is not much better than that of Cheng Guogong.
In general, Shi Xuan's chance of breaking through is less than 30%. With such a low chance, Shi Xuan will not do it unless he has no choice or encounters a battle. Generally speaking, Shi Xuan has at least 70% confidence in saving his life when he takes action.
So Shi Xuan smiled and nodded to Li Wei and said, "I didn't expect that Venerable Wei Yu valued our Linyuan City so much."
Li Wei had his own thoughts on this: "Perhaps because after the reappearance of the Yuantai Sect, our Linyuan City was the first to discover their traces, except for the imperial capital. They may still have a lot of remnants here."
After saying this, he unconsciously lowered his voice and whispered, "Li heard from his colleagues using the communicator that many people from the municipal government, the repair soldiers' corps, and the business were captured by the general and his men. It is said that they were related to the Yuantai Sect."
Shi Xuan was very clear about this, but affected by the intensity of the formation monitoring, Shi Xuan's keen Yin spirit was a little depressed. After agreeing with Li Wei for a few words, he politely sent him out and sat cross-legged for a while before recovering.
In the morning of the second day, the sheriff knocked on Shi Xuan's door, and it was the thin sheriff from last time.
"I wonder what's the matter this time?" Shi Xuan opened the door and asked lightly.
The thin sheriff said with a flattering smile: "Good morning, Mr. Shi. This time, Venerable Wei Wu will give a speech in the big square outside the municipal government. All residents of Linyuan City must attend. The time is one hour later."
"Can't I not go?" Shi Xuan acted impatient.
The thin sheriff smiled and said: "Mr. Shi, don't act on impulse. The Wei Wu Corps will check the number of people later. If you don't go, it will be disrespectful to Venerable Wei Wu. If you disrespect Venerable Wei Wu, you are the remnant of Yuan Taijiao. Even the general can't protect you."
Seeing such strictness, Shi Xuan nodded and agreed. If he really didn't go, Shi Xuan would not be sure to get out.
When he went out, he met neighbors such as Li Wei and Huang Xiao. Naturally, everyone went together. They were very happy to go to see Venerable Wei Wu, just like going to see their idol.
Along the way, there was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the security was strict.
Huang Xiao looked around and said disappointedly, "Why can't I see the Wei Wu Corps?"
Li Wei comforted his wife and said, "They should be protecting the Wei Wu Reverend in the square. You can see them when you get there."
A young neighbor who was traveling with him laughed and said, "Even if you go to the square, you can't see them. The Wei Wu Reverend wants to speak to the people of Linyuan City. The Wei Wu Corps standing there is too obstructive. It seems that they regard the people as enemies, so they will not appear in front of everyone, but will only protect them secretly."
Everyone nodded in agreement, which made Huang Xiao pout and express his dissatisfaction with not being able to see the majestic Wei Wu Corps.
The square in front of the municipal government is very large, nearly a hundred times larger than the football field that Shi Xuan had seen in his previous life, and it is no problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Under the organization of the sheriff, Shi Xuan and his neighbors found their own positions in the square and waited quietly.
At 9:00 pm, Shi Xuan felt that two Wei Wu troops emitting strong pressure came nearby, followed by Venerable Wei Wu in the front, and Duke Gan and General Lin Yuan followed one after another. Under the protection of many monks, they walked out of the city hall and prepared to go to the large round platform in the center of the square.
Venerable Wei Wu and Duke Gan showed their cultivation of Yin Shen in such an occasion, which made the people of Lin Yuan City on both sides of the road bow their heads and salute involuntarily.
Just as they were about to walk in front of Shi Xuan and others, suddenly, several black lights flew out from the crowd in a certain area, slashing at Venerable Wei Wu and Duke Gan at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. After the black light, many evil ghosts with double horns on their heads and extraordinary strength came out of the crowd.
At the same time, countless hysterical voices rang in the ears of the crowd:
"Heaven punishes the traitors!" "Revenge for my people!" "Kill the traitors who stole the country!" "The Holy Church eradicates evil!"...
This assassination was so sudden and so fast. Those who attacked Venerable Wei Wu and Duke Gan were all masters of the level of Venerable Yin God. Those black lights were at least the innate spiritual weapons of the third heaven perfection or above.
The Jindan Grandmaster and the two Venerable Yin Gods guarding on both sides were caught off guard and watched the spiritual weapon fly past them. They were also entangled by the ferocious evil spirits that followed the spiritual weapon.
However, Venerable Wei Wu and Duke Gan were both Venerable Yin Gods, so they naturally had the power of defense. Venerable Wei Wu opened his mouth, and a flower with golden petals and black stamens sprayed out of his mouth, blocking several black lights in the air.
The black light was gloomy and dark, and it was strangely cold. In a flash, a thin layer of black ice formed on the flower, and the light gradually dimmed. But it also bought time for Venerable Wei-Emu. His life-defining spiritual weapon, Wanluo Ruyi, with a hazy and clear light, rushed forward and tapped a few times to repel the black light.
On the other side, Duke Gan was much better than Venerable Wei-Emu, because there was only one black light hitting him, so he used a secret treasure to easily block it, and then unfolded his life-defining spiritual weapon to protect himself tightly.
At this time, a giant sword that seemed to be condensed from infinite sunlight seemed to come from the horizon, and it seemed to appear on the spot, slashing towards the area where the assassins were most concentrated.
"No!"
"We are not assassins!"
"I am a citizen of the empire..."
…………
All the sounds were annihilated in the explosion of infinite sunlight, and the area suddenly became quiet, without any sound, until the sunlight faded, and a huge pit appeared there. The surface of the pit was a smooth glass-like object that melted and re-condensed. The bottom of the pit was endless, and it seemed to go straight to the ground.
The assassination stopped, and everyone in the city was shocked by this scene and couldn't speak. The Weiwu Corps actually didn't care about the lives of the people at all. With one blow, tens of thousands of people and assassins died together.
"How can it be? How can it be like this!..." Huang Xiaoba muttered to herself while holding the child. Li Wei, who came to his senses, quickly covered her mouth to stop her from continuing. God knows if the Weiwu Corps would give this side a sword after hearing it.
The neatly-organized Micro-Emu Corps slowly flew over the square, and thousands of cold and emotionless eyes stared at everyone in the square, making everyone dare not move.
Shi Xuan did not expect that the Micro-Emu Corps would be so decisive in killing. In a blink of an eye, the situation became like this. In this situation, he could only stand still like the people around him.
Just now, he saw the Micro-Emu Corps' attack from a close distance. Without the interval of the mirror water curtain, Shi Xuan already knew that the key to this battle formation lies in the three Yin God Venerables, and each Jindan Grandmaster and Soul Monk seems to have something fused in their bodies. That thing is also a part of the battle formation, but those Jindan Grandmasters and Soul Monks are more like being controlled by that thing.
Shi Xuan judged that using the Tai Chi diagram should have a 40% to 50% chance of fixing that thing, but outside the square behind him, another Micro-Emu Corps was already eyeing it. Even if he bet on this 50% possibility, he would not be able to fly.
This feeling of having no power to fight back made Shi Xuan feel a little uncomfortable, but he quickly restrained his emotions. The problem of strength could not be solved for the time being, so he could only accept it. Blaming others is not a good attitude.
After all, it all comes down to the fact that he did not have enough time to practice, and the restriction of the Tai Chi diagram was not high enough. If it had been perfected as a spiritual weapon, it would not be 40% to 50% sure, but 80% to 90% sure. Moreover, after breaking the formation, he could save a few breaths of time to escape far away and avoid the attack of the army behind him.
When something like this happened, it was definitely impossible to speak. After the Venerable Wei Wu gave a few words to the Venerable Yin Shen beside him, he returned to the city hall with Duke Gan and General Lin Yuan.
The Venerable Yin Shen flew into the air with a gloomy face, and shouted under the Wei Wu Army: "I didn't expect the remnants of the Yuan Tai Sect and the Duke's Mansion to be so rampant. Now everyone here is suspected and must be interrogated before leaving." The voice was extremely hoarse, as if there was a piece of sandpaper in his throat.
Under the powerful strength of the Weiwu Corps, naturally no one dared to say no, and they all lined up obediently, waiting for the inspection of the guards.
At this time, a soul-level cultivator came out from the city hall. He looked like the chief of the city's sheriff. After he flew to the side of the Yinshen Venerable, he whispered for a long time.
The Yinshen Venerable nodded with satisfaction and pointed to several places in succession: "According to reliable clues, you, you...are the most suspicious. Stand aside and we will focus on checking you later."
The seven or eight groups of two or three thousand cultivators he pointed to included Shi Xuan and his group. Except for Shi Xuan, everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale, fearing that they would be forced to be related to the Yuantai Sect.
