The black smoke appeared to be invisible, yet it was extremely thick. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be countless tiny, strange insects. Their color was not pure black, but rather tinged with a bewitching blood-red light, and some even had human facial features.
The Imperial Capital responded immediately.
"How dare you, you thief!"
A dazzling blade of light shone from within the black mist, its aura overwhelming the sky. This strike was condensed to its ultimate form, chilling to the bone.
The one who unleashed this strike was definitely at the Dharma Body Realm.
However, the blade's light pierced through the black smoke, illuminating it for only a moment before quickly dimming and disappearing completely.
Countless insects were not only not killed, but instead their energy was completely devoured by the sword's aura, their ferocity reaching the heavens!
What kind of insect is this?
Li Mo's first reaction was the same as Ying Bing's: they clasped each other's outstretched hands.
"This is not a living being, but a manifestation of the 'Tao'."
"What path?"
"The one who has entered the Path of Devouring should be the Deputy Leader of the Demon Summoning Sect, Yuwen Cuojin."
The middle-aged man, who looked like a scholar and was drenched in cold sweat from fright, was, after all, Profound Mastery Realm.
However, the Imperial Capital also has those at the Profound Mastery Realm, and even the elusive Heaven-Reaching Realm must exist. Moreover, this is the heart of the Great Yu Dynasty, suppressed by the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
How dare Yuwen Cuojin?
Li Mo frowned.
They were standing close to the emperor, so they didn't need to worry about their safety for the time being.
The Demon Summoning Cult has absolutely no rules.
Such a large-scale operation, yet they didn't even inform Immortal Black Soil Earth.
"Yuwen Cuojin?"
At this moment, the Profound Mastery Realm of the various sects were protecting their own disciples, and several figures quickly appeared around Emperor Jingtai. They seemed ordinary, but their auras were mysterious and integrated with the heaven and earth. The one in the lead was Gan Gong, whom he had met once before.
This means that these individuals are all at the Seventh Realm of the Great Yu.
Gan Gong glanced at the crowd and slowly said, "Yuwen Cuojin nothing but a chicken and a dog; he can't cause any trouble in the capital. Kun Gong has already gone to deal with him."
"What we are worried about now is that this person was able to infiltrate the capital without the help of an inside agent. The purpose of the Demon Summoning Cult Sect has not yet been determined. Until then, we will stay by his side at all times. We hope Your Majesty will prioritize your safety."
Gan Gong's words were concise and to the point.
Their task was to protect the safety of Emperor Jingtai; eliminating the villains was none of their concern, and that was for others to do.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly someone shouted from the crowd:
"Robbing women!"
"Even the vice-leader has gone to play in the emperor's harem!"
"I'm going to storm into the Jiang family's ancestral Ancestral Hall and steal all the offerings from their ancestral tablets!"
It was the Demon Summoning Cult who had infiltrated the Hundred Flowers Festival with Young Master Song who made their move.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
It should be noted that those present included not only powerful figures from various sects, but also young people of slightly lower cultivation levels, and even nobles and officials of various ranks who were powerless to even kill a chicken.
The members of the Demon Summoning Cult could disregard the lives of these people, but when the scene descended into chaos, they were unable to quell the unrest in a short period of time.
The energy of the various combatants surged and surged, making it impossible to discern who was fighting whom.
They didn't even know if any of the people from the various sects who had followed them in were members of the Demonic Sect. The Heaven Patrol Guard were also very troubled and couldn't quickly control the situation.
For example...
"Heh heh! So you're a mermaid princess, huh? Now you'll be enslaved by our Hundred Beast Hall!"
"Waaaaah, don't come any closer!"
"With you, I'll punch you every day, make you cry for four hours straight, provide only three meals a day plus a snack, give you weekends off, and only let you rest at noon and in the evening. Terrified, aren't you! Hehehe... cough cough!"
"Waaaaah... Eh?"
Lan Tian, who was crying, burst into tears, scattering pearls all over the ground. She paused for a moment when she heard what the other person said.
This doesn't seem so scary after all; she was almost flattered. This was much better than the offer the merchants in the Imperial Capital had given her.
But seeing how aggressive the other person was, she decided to continue crying, otherwise she felt it would be disrespectful.
However, she soon stopped showing respect.
Because she noticed that the member of the demonic cult who had been laughing wildly was laughing more and more maniacally and desperately, and he couldn't stop at all.
Not only him, but the bad guys who came with him to capture Lan Tian also showed symptoms to varying degrees.
Some suddenly seemed to be hallucinating, attacking their own people; others foamed at the mouth, their bodies turning black; still others blushed, their eyes gleaming with ambiguity as they looked at those around them, loosening their belts...
"What happened...?"
Cover your mouth and nose.
Huang Donglai jumped out from the shadows and tossed her a towel that had been soaked in medicinal herbs.
"This face towel can save you."
"Thank you, so this face mask..."
Huang Donglai looked wary and didn't intend to talk to Lan Tian any longer. Seeing that she had put on a face mask, he decided to leave immediately.
Just then, several Heaven Patrol Guard descended from the sky:
"Excellent! Very good! Openly poisoning them, they must be traitors from the Demonic Cult, seize them!"
"Huh? You've got it wrong! Look for yourselves!"
Huang Donglai pointed at the group of members of the demonic cult.
Several Heaven Patrol Guard frowned and looked over, only to see that the man who had been laughing was already dead, his body blackened and covered in mushrooms, while the man who had loosened his belt was pinning another man to the ground...
"You still say you're not a demonic cultivator!"
"???"
"Hey, you guys are really mistaken, he's actually a really nice guy... Waaah?"
Lan Tian tried to explain for Huang Donglai, but she kept rambling on and on. She took out a mirror to look at herself.
In the mirror, her beautiful face had swollen into a pig's head.
"Aaaaaah!!" Lan Tian let out a sharp, explosive scream.
Members of the evil cult wanted to steal pretty women.
Blue Sweet was hit by a completely unrecognizable drug.
Blue Sweet is safe. √
Huang Donglai thought there was no problem with this, but the Heaven Patrol Guard didn't seem to think so.
Actually, Huang Donglai's situation is not bad. As long as he explains properly, he can clear things up. After all, he can prove that he is a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The value of the Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle is no less than that of the "Wife-Boosting Little Tyrant" (a mythical creature); who doesn't know it?
The most troublesome person, and the one Li Mo worries about the most, is none other than...
"They dare to rob even me? They've got some nerve!"
Shang Wu, drunk, had just smashed the head of a fourth-realm expert to pieces, burning it to ashes.
Several Heaven Patrol Guard looked over with wary eyes.
She clicked her tongue, her face full of displeasure.
"Hey, what the hell are you guys looking at?"
As is widely known.
Among those present were those who wanted to protect themselves, those who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and those who had ulterior motives; each had their own reasons for taking action.
Shang Wu are different.
The King of Brawling of Clear Abyss Sect will beat up anyone he doesn't like.
