The numerous princes and nobles arrived very quickly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Attack any living creature you encounter.
To evil spirits, any living thing is an enemy, and only death is their final destination.
If they kill everything they see, then everything will be theirs.
The logic of the evil king is extremely perverse, but from a certain perspective, it is also quite correct.
If all the enemies are killed and no one stops you, wouldn't you be able to get whatever you want?
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A roar erupted, and no one flinched.
Humans and kings have long been locked in a life-or-death struggle.
There was also an irreconcilable hatred between aristocratic families and royalty.
However, since the Good People Bureau was powerful in the past, they had to compromise temporarily to protect their own living space before slowly seeking a way to break the deadlock.
Just like cooperating with the Good People Bureau now, we need to find a way to survive first, and then think about other things later.
The Good People Bureau led the charge, with the Tushan Clan following at the very back.
Swish, swish, swish!
Space distorted, and countless puppets appeared simultaneously.
With the strength of the Good People Bureau, it's impossible for them to defeat a king or noble.
However, because these kings and nobles ruled independently and trusted no one, they were only able to maintain their power with difficulty.
At this moment, the princes and Good People Bureau has a large number of puppets supporting it, so it is possible to fight to the death.
The old fox's idea was quite good; even the disciples of other demon families shared similar thoughts.
Unfortunately, reality is always incredibly cruel. The moment Xu Long arrived, it was destined that all demons and evil spirits would meet a bad end.
Qi and blood surged to the heavens, while yin energy permeated the air.
The battle between the three sides was extremely fierce, with people, including kings and nobles, being injured or even killed every moment.
Pfft!
A puppet's claw pierced through the king, who remained unfazed, his face still calm.
However, in the next instant, a scorching power suddenly exploded, causing the king's expression to change drastically.
"Aaaaaah!"
Sizzle!
It's like ice water being dropped into a pot of boiling oil; the two conflicting forces explode instantly.
The king's body melted away rapidly, like snow under the scorching sun.
However, the churning evil energy within his body was constantly replenishing itself.
The king, who had always been as cold and aloof as a ghost, was finally moved.
They felt pain and fear.
They, too, will die.
"Awooooo!"
Its cries were shrill and extremely eerie in the dark night.
A surge of malevolent energy erupted, causing the king's physique to undergo drastic changes.
In the beginning, all the kings and nobles were either in human form or very close to human.
But when they decide to fight with all their might, they reveal their strongest side.
Ferocious, sharp, brutal, and bloodthirsty.
Just one glance is enough to instill fear in anyone.
Some special kings and nobles could even drive ordinary people mad just by their appearance.
However, none of those participating in the battle at this time were weaklings; rather, they were the strongest group in the world.
Regardless of who wins or loses, it will deal a fatal blow to the cultivation world of this world.
But there was no way around it; the various factions were already irreconcilable.
At least one side Miejue, or all of them must be completely extinct.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
A jumble of noises rang out incessantly, and puppets died every moment.
However, these cheap creations inflicted tons of damage.
Although a single one cannot defeat a king or noble, and even self-destruction cannot completely eliminate him, don't forget that there are still ten generals, a hundred governors, and tens of thousands of captains!
With a single, brutal strike, he cleaved the critically wounded and dying king in two, the scorching power of his blood melting away his last ounce of strength.
The battle between the two sides was a life-or-death struggle, and some members of the Tushan Clan wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, those puppets were unable to distinguish between demons and kings, or rather, they never even tried to differentiate between the two; each self-destruction was an indiscriminate attack.
"I... don't... believe..."
The Marquis of Tongzhou slowly collapsed, his consciousness rapidly fading.
He couldn't believe that after countless battles, he would die at the hands of these puppets.
He had no dreams or goals; he simply lived in a daze, trying every possible way to improve his strength.
Until death approached, he didn't know the meaning of his existence; he simply couldn't believe that he would die in such a wretched way.
After the Marquis of Tongzhou died, the dark and sinister aura did not dissipate, but instead silently sank into the ground.
This applies not only to him, but to any death.
Noble families, princes, and Good People Bureau are all bloodthirsty.
Originally, it was a collaboration between the Good People Bureau and the aristocratic families to jointly resist the princes and nobles, but it quickly turned into a pure free-for-all.
"Die!"
The head of the Tushan Clan roared and fiercely swept a prince away.
Just as she was about to press her advantage, a sudden chill ran through her chest, instantly snapping her out of her madness.
What happened?
Looking at the horrific scene before him, resembling a meat grinder, the old fox could hardly believe his eyes.
What exactly happened?
Why are so many kings and nobles here? Why is the Tushan Clan fighting them? Why are there countless puppets?
The old fox's mind was in complete chaos; her memory was stuck on the moment she made love with Xu Long, and she couldn't remember anything that happened afterward.
"Etc..."
The old fox shuddered; she knew where the problem lay.
Xu Long must have done something to her to trigger the series of events that followed.
Damn it! How could you do this to me!
The old fox gritted his teeth, hesitated for less than two seconds, and then made his decision.
She needs to escape this hellish situation!
Given the current situation, if we don't escape quickly, we'll never have another chance.
Once Xu Long sets his sights on you, you'll inevitably suffer the same fate as before.
Taking out the necklace from his chest, the old fox finally made up his mind.
This is the Tushan Clan's most prized possession, and historically only the head of the family could control it.
When the previous patriarch passed it on to her, he only told her that if the Tushan Clan ever reached Extremis, she should crush the necklace, as it would be the only chance of survival.
If I ever get the chance, I will tear you to pieces!
The old fox cursed angrily and crushed the necklace without hesitation.
laugh!
A faint light exploded, like a fireball expanding in a confined space.
However, this process lasted very short a time, so short that Xu Long didn't even have time to stop it.
The old fox vanished without a trace, leaving no trace and no trace of its presence, as if it had never existed at all.
"Interesting, very interesting! It seems my guess was correct!"
Xu Long muttered to himself, but did not look for the old fox.
He knew where the old fox had gone and would catch up with him soon.
"Heh, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You all thought you would win, but it was all just wishful thinking."
Xu Long sneered, his hands constantly forming hand seals, which transformed into streaks of light and dissipated into the air.
His instruction of Puppet Manufacturing Technique to the Good People Bureau was certainly not simply to help them eliminate royal and aristocratic families.
Inside the core of the puppet, there are many array runes.
Because the runes are all repeated, even if the craftsmen in the Good People Bureau completely disassembled them, they wouldn't find anything.
And then comes the most crucial thing.
Xu Long had already set up a formation that encompassed the entire Youzhou.
To get to this point, he even used up 70% of his stored Spirit Stone and completely depleted his spirit liquid.
If his plan fails, he will have no choice but to use up his privilege points to leave this world.
"Kill! Kill! The more people who die, the better!"
Xu Long stood in the air, with the Vulture King's wings flapping continuously beneath his feet.
With each additional death, the power of the formation increases.
Once the number of deaths reaches a certain level, the power of the formation can be pushed to a critical point.
When that time comes, it will be time for the plan to be finally completed.
Countless powerful individuals perished, and all their contributions were transformed into energy absorbed by the formation.
Although Xu Long was ruthless, since he had promised Good People Bureau, he naturally wouldn't let them suffer too much damage.
After dozens of hand seals were formed, a huge sun immediately rose.
This is an advanced version of the Eight Gates Yang-Locking Formation, which directly transforms all power into Power of Pure Yang, condensing it into a sun.
Against ordinary enemies, the sun's power is no different from anything else; it's just pure light and heat.
However, if the target is something sinister or demonic like a king or nobleman, then that's a different story.
When the sun rose, the sky, which had been obscured by the evil energy within the bodies of the 357 kings and nobles, cleared up immediately.
Light and heat, along with boundless power to ward off evil, crashed down.
In less than two breaths, several seriously injured princes and nobles were scorched to death by the sun.
The others were also weakened by different procedures.
Conversely, the puppets that were about to run out of energy seemed to be instantly recharged and became excited again.
"What is that...?"
The Marquis of Yuzhou looked up at the sky, his face filled with horror.
He felt a deadly threat, he felt death approaching.
That was something far more terrifying than the real sun, capable of Miejue them all outright.
The power of an artificial sun is certainly far less than that of a real sun, but it is too close.
It felt so close, as if I could reach out and touch it.
It is inherently resistant to these evil and ghostly things, let alone when they are so close.
With every breath, several kings and nobles died, and many more were seriously injured.
With the relentless attacks of the numerous puppets, all the kings and nobles would die here in no more than ten breaths.
"No! Let's attack together and shatter the sun, or none of us will survive!"
A very brave king roared and charged towards Xu Long first.
In his mind, although those kings and nobles had always acted independently, when their lives were at stake, they should work together towards a common goal.
However, he was wrong; no other king or nobleman dared to approach him.
The vast majority of kings and nobles chose to flee.
Given the energy emanating from that sun, to shatter it, at least two hundred of the three hundred-plus kings and nobles would have to die.
Only a minority dare to sacrifice themselves; the vast majority are unwilling to die for no reason.
Therefore, they made the same choice without any consultation.
Let whoever dies first, go ahead; they don't want to die yet.
"What a clever bunch of pigs!"
Xu Long shook his head, his face full of mockery.
These kings and nobles have already abandoned their only chance. From now on, no one can stop him anymore, and all the kings and nobles must die.
The scorching light illuminated the entire Youzhou, and the princes and nobles moved very quickly, reaching the edge of Youzhou in less than twenty breaths.
"As long as we get out of here..."
The kings and nobles at the front had already reached the edge and were eagerly stretching out their hands.
His entire back was severely scorched by the sunlight, and a full third of his body's energy had been depleted.
If they don't leave the area covered by the sun quickly, they will die completely within ten breaths at most.
Although running away like this is extremely pathetic and shameful, what's the use of saving face if you're dead?
Kings and nobles are all very pragmatic and don't care about trivial things at all.
Therefore, he mustered his strength and prepared to charge straight up.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out, followed by an extremely piercing "sizzling" sound.
This nobleman was like someone who had fallen into an oil drum and was instantly ignited by the sun's rays.
"Awooooo!"
The piercing screams rang out, but quickly subsided.
The prince struggled for a few moments, then turned to ashes without leaving a trace.
"How so!"
The sudden change caused all the kings and nobles behind to stop in their tracks. A few who couldn't stop themselves crashed into it in despair, following in the footsteps of the former.
The power of the Eight Gates Yang-Locking Formation is concentrated on the periphery, with the purpose of locking down the central element.
Although Xu Long's upgraded plan created a sun, it did not diminish the original advantages.
His main goal was to use the power of these kings and nobles to break free from their constraints; how could he possibly let them leave?
"It's time to end this!"
As the sigh subsided, the sun in the sky suddenly exploded.
In the next instant, more than three hundred fireballs each sought out their respective targets.
There was nowhere to escape, and no way to escape.
The fireball was firmly locked onto them, and they had no choice but to withstand it.
But here's the question: can they really withstand it?
"Ah!"
"Oh!"
"Aww!"
Various screams rose and fell, only to quickly disappear without a trace.
More than three hundred kings and nobles transformed into dense, malevolent energy, which was then converted and absorbed by the upgraded Eight Gates Yang-Locking Formation.
"Alright, let's begin!"
A surge of energy was injected into the formation, causing it to operate at a power level exceeding its limits.
Under these circumstances, the formation will collapse completely in ten breaths at most, and all of Xu Long's efforts will be in vain.
But that's alright, ten breaths are more than enough for him.
Sizzle!
All the energy converged and transformed into a blazing white light that pierced through heaven and earth.
Almost visible to the naked eye, cracks appeared in the sky and quickly spread outwards.
The sky is like a shattered mirror, ready to break at any moment.
After discovering no trace of the three demons, Holy Auntie, Hu Meier, and Hu Chuer, Xu Long began to suspect that there was something wrong with this world.
After making inquiries from various sources, it was discovered that there wasn't even Mount Yunmeng, which was quite strange.
Mount Yunmeng was the residence of Yuan Gong, and it was a truly sacred mountain.
In the original storyline, even the peasant monks knew this, so why had they never heard of these aristocratic families and Good People Bureau?
Therefore, Xu Long suspected that he might be in a place similar to a realm within a realm.
Only by breaking through it can one enter the true Secrets of the Heavenly Book.
