After checking Zuo Ci's attribute panel, Lin Yi realized that this old man was definitely pretending.

The situation was indeed as Lin Yi had guessed.

Previously, because Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of Han had been hiding in the Bronze Sparrow Tower for a long time, Zuo Ci had never found an opportunity to attack Emperor Xian of Han.

The person who was possessed by a demon just now was the one Zuo Ci had managed to drive away from the vicinity of Yecheng.

In this era when blood and food are becoming increasingly scarce, Zuo Ci has already regarded Yecheng as his sphere of influence.

Therefore, he cleared out the large number of demons roaming around Yecheng to ensure that his territory was not violated.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The sudden appearance of Lin Yi, an unpredictable variable, disrupted Zuo Ci's perfect plan.

Thanks to Lin Yi's intervention, Emperor Xian of Han narrowly escaped death, which also made Zuo Ci's appearance seem a little imperfect, leaving a trace of flaw.

"I am Zuo Ci, a poor Taoist priest. I have been cultivating in the mountains for a thousand years. Recently, I heard that the human world was hit by a disaster, so I came down to earth, hoping to do my best to save the people."

As Zuo Ci spoke, a wisp of white mist appeared faintly around him.

At that moment, Cao Cao, Emperor Xian of Han and others saw a golden light behind Zuo Ci, as if a real god had descended to earth.

However, Lin Yi would not believe what Zuo Ci, the Taoist monk, said. Mr. Zhou had already stated before that the biggest demons in the world are these Taoist monks.

As soon as Zuo Ci, the old man, appeared, the monsters immediately retreated. There must be a connection between the two.

"Quiet."

Lin Yi approached Emperor Xian of Han and whispered in the ears of Cao Pi and others.

Cao Pi and the others looked at each other, wondering why Lin Yi suddenly said that.

"Mass purification."

Although the authority of mass purification is not high and cannot release the control of those possessed by demons, Zuo Ci's illusion is obviously not included in this category.

As the purification technique was performed, a ray of light flashed, and the scene before everyone's eyes changed drastically.

The golden light behind Zuo Ci suddenly turned into a dark blood-red light, and the Taoist robe that was originally elegant and otherworldly now revealed its true appearance—a strange Taoist robe made of human skin.

What was even more horrifying was that there was an eye cracked on Zuo Ci's forehead. The eye moved flexibly, revealing undisguised malice, staring straight at everyone present.

Coupled with Zuo Ci's smile at this moment, it formed a strong contrast, which was creepy.

Cao Cao's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became stern, and he instantly understood the seriousness of the situation.

He waved his hand, and all his soldiers fell silent instantly.

"I don't know where you practiced Taoism before."

Zuo Ci smiled and replied, "I have been living in seclusion in the mountains, rarely going out, and concentrating on practicing Taoism. If I hadn't sensed that the world was experiencing a great disaster, I would probably continue to practice in seclusion."

Zuo Ci spoke in a sanctimonious and righteous manner, but his body was completely contrary to his words.

I saw a tentacle quietly extending from behind him, and this tentacle bit the arm of a corpse behind him.

Zuo Ci seemed to be extremely confident in his magic skills and was not worried at all that he would be discovered by Cao Cao and others.

He continued to maintain that compassionate look, as if everything was under his control.

“Sir, please save my master.” Zhao Yun rushed to Zuo Ci with a look of grief and indignation on his face and knelt on one knee, as if he really believed that Zuo Ci in front of him was an immortal who could save the world.

Zuo Ci glanced at Zhao Yun who was kneeling in front of him, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"No hurry, no hurry." He said slowly, "I will go to rescue your master after I have eliminated the demons near Yecheng."

Originally he was worried that the life of Emperor Xian of Han would affect his magic, but now it seems that his illusions and words are enough to make these mortals believe in him and use him for their own purposes.

When Zuo Ci thought of this, he couldn't help drooling.

He couldn't wait to devour all the fresh flesh and blood in the city, especially the flesh and blood of children, which was an irresistible temptation to him.

But the only problem now is that Emperor Xian of Han is not dead.

This made Zuo Ci feel a little tricky. It would be troublesome if he was discovered by these people.

Even a powerful demon like Zuo Ci would be sealed near Emperor Xian of Han.

This is a special rule formed after a long struggle between the world consciousness and the ancient gods, and it was formulated by the world consciousness itself.

Although Zuo Ci was a cultivator, he could not disobey this power.

Just when Zuo Ci was thinking about how to deal with Emperor Xian of Han next, Lin Yi suddenly took action and summoned several shadow hands to tightly bind Zuo Ci's body.

Then, Emperor Xian of Han took a step forward.

Although this step was small, it was like an insurmountable chasm for Zuo Ci.

This was because demons could not get within a hundred meters of the emperor; if they did, their abilities would be completely sealed.

Zuo Ci was horrified to find that the strength in his body was rapidly draining away.

What's worse is that in the next second, a golden talisman suddenly appeared at his mouth, sealing the power bestowed on him by the ancient god.

With a crisp sword sound, Zhao Yun drew out the Qinggang sword from his waist and stabbed it straight into Zuo Ci's heart.

Although some of Zuo Ci's power was sealed, his own power as a cultivator was not sealed.

A whisk appeared in Zuo Ci's hand. He waved the whisk and wrapped it around Zhao Yun's Qinggang sword.

Not knowing what Zuo Ci's whisk was made of, Zhao Yun discovered that his Qinggang sword couldn't cut the whisk.

Zuo Ci tried to get rid of Zhao Yun's entanglement, but due to the influence of Emperor Xian of Han's special power, Zuo Ci found that he could not get rid of Zhao Yun.

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, form a battle array!"

Seeing that he had fallen out with the old demon Zuo Ci, Cao Chun gave an order and rode on horseback to lead the remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to surround Zuo Ci tightly in the center.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

"Don't worry, I am the Son of Heaven, I will watch these demons die with my own eyes!"

Ever since he realized that he could reduce the power of demons, a strong ambition surged in the heart of Emperor Xian of Han.

He realized that in this age where demons are rampant, his status as the Son of Heaven is not only a symbol, but also a kind of power.

The rampant demons made his status as the emperor undisputable.

He knew that as long as he survived, no one would dare to attack him unless the chaos of demons in the world was completely eliminated.

"The prime minister has ordered that whoever kills this man will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins and appointed as the head of a hundred households!" The voice of the messenger resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Kill!" the soldiers' shouts shook the sky.

Obviously, Cao Cao also knew that it would not work if the horse just ran without being fed grass.

Thousands of people acted quickly and surrounded Zuo Ci, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

Each of these Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers is extremely skilled, and their overall attributes are quite outstanding, comparable to some weaker generals, with all attributes ranging from approximately 65 to 70.

With the support of the military formation, as the number of people increases, the damage, tankiness and defense of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will increase.

Lin Yi's halo and Emperor Xian of Han's sealing ability put Zuo Ci into a desperate situation.

Zuo Ci looked around and his heart sank.

He clearly realized that he might be in big trouble this time.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's encirclement was tight, it was not the biggest threat to him. The real key lay in Emperor Xian of Han standing beside him.

With this guy around, Zuo Ci’s greatest ability cannot be brought into play.

After losing his ability to make his words come true, Zuo Ci was just a stronger general. If Lu Bu were to come over, I'm afraid Lu Bu could kill Zuo Ci by himself.

Zuo Ci stretched out his hands, and translucent talismans appeared around him.

The sky suddenly became overcast, and the sounds of lightning and thunder rumbled through the clouds, building up momentum for the upcoming attack.

Zuo Ci's finger was pointed directly at Emperor Xian of Han who was standing in the center of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry army in front of him.

Then several thick lightning bolts struck down from the sky, carrying destructive power, aiming directly at Emperor Xian of Han.

Now that his plan had been exposed, Zuo Ci stopped pretending and prepared to kill Emperor Xian of Han.

As long as he kills Emperor Xian of Han, no one here will be his match.

At this critical moment, a dark passage suddenly opened above the head of Emperor Xian of Han and swallowed all the lightning bolts.

"Want to behead someone? I think you're overthinking it."

Lin Yi had been keeping an eye on this old fellow Zuo Ci. As soon as he saw the old fellow move his butt, Lin Yi knew what he wanted to do.

Zuo Ci felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw that his killer move was easily resolved by Lin Yi.

However, Zuo Ci was not a man who would sit and wait for death. He swung the whisk in his hand and flexibly wrapped it around the body of a soldier in front of him.

The soldier had no time to react before Zuo Ci pulled him in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, four pitch-black tentacles suddenly grew out from behind Zuo Ci. These tentacles opened their bloody mouths and cruelly tore the soldier into pieces of flesh.

"Lancer!"

Following Cao Chun's order, the soldiers in the first row quickly raised their solid tower shields, which were made of fine iron and were extremely heavy.

Not to mention Zuo Ci, even Lu Bu would find it difficult to break through the defense of these shields in a short time.

The next second, these shields were pieced together into a square formation, and a groove appeared in the middle of the shields.

The second row of spearmen came to the middle of the shield soldiers, raised their spears, and stabbed into the middle of the shields.

At the moment when the spear was about to touch Zuo Ci's body, several bright lights of talismans suddenly appeared on the surface of Zuo Ci's body.

The bright lights were like a barrier, firmly blocking the sharp gun tip.

"Archers, shoot!" With one order, countless archers shot towards the center of the crowd.

These archers are carefully selected elites. Their archery skills are superb and the error is basically no more than ten centimeters.

Hundreds of arrows poured down like a rainstorm, densely hitting Zuo Ci.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the talisman on Zuo Ci's body began to flicker, and it seemed that it could not withstand the rain of arrows, and the light seemed to be about to go out.

Seeing that the situation was getting difficult, Zuo Ci suddenly grew a pair of huge flesh wings on his back. The wings flapped violently and flew into the sky with Zuo Ci, escaping the attack range of the rain of arrows.

"Oh no, this old guy wants to run away!"

When Cao Cao saw the wings behind Zuo Ci, he naturally guessed what Zuo Ci was trying to do.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to jump up to stop Zuo Ci, the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps reacted even faster.

The warriors of the Night Bat Group pointed their palms at the wings behind Zuo Ci, and ten light waves instantly pierced through the wings behind Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci groaned in pain, lost his balance and fell from mid-air.

After Zuo Ci fell from mid-air, the soldiers pinned him to the ground with long weapons.

Due to the extremely tenacious vitality of people possessed by demons, Zuo Ci not only did not die after being nailed to the ground, but he forced himself to raise his head, staring at Lin Yi, Emperor Xian of Han and others with a cold gaze.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi stepped forward, and Cao Cao followed closely behind him.

The soldiers who were originally crowded together made way for a passage.

Lin Yi slowly walked up to Zuo Ci, stopped, and looked down at this arrogant cultivator.

Zuo Ci raised his head with difficulty, his eyes flickering with unwillingness, as if he was looking for an answer.

"Why, don't you understand how we saw through you?" Lin Yi asked coldly.

Zuo Ci did not answer, but just stared at Lin Yi, waiting for his next words.

"The reason is very simple. We have encountered ascetics before, and you ascetics are simply not trustworthy."

Hearing this, Zuo Ci raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Emperor Xian of Han was silently observing all this behind the crowd. He took a step back, lifted the seal on Zuo Ci, and restored his ability to speak.

“If I hadn’t been looking for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, I would have revealed my true form and killed you long ago.” Zuo Ci’s voice was hoarse and low, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed.

Zuo Ci's head fell heavily to the ground, rolled a few times and stopped at Lin Yi's feet.

His original goal was to become the master of Yecheng and control everything, but he didn't expect that before this goal was completed, it was disrupted by Lin Yi, Zhao Yun and others.

[Kill Mr. Wujiao Zuoci, and obtain 13.2% of the source of the world. Now you have obtained 13.2% of the source of the world in total]

【Get the golden treasure chest】

"The demon has been killed!" Cao Cao held Zuo Ci's head high, strode to the display stand in front of the Bronze Sparrow Tower, picked it up and showed it to the soldiers below.

"Ten thousand victory! Ten thousand victory! Ten thousand victory!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

All the soldiers were screaming at the top of their lungs; they had been suppressed by the demons for too long.

For several years, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been following Cao Cao in retreat, enduring the ravages and oppression of the demons.

Now, they finally won a great victory.

The cheers of the soldiers could also be heard in Yecheng. Although the people did not know what was happening, they knew that these soldiers were protecting them. Now that these soldiers were cheering so much, they must have achieved remarkable results.

As the cheers echoed, the atmosphere of despair that permeated the entire Ye City and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was swept away.

"Zihe!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Inspect the troops, count the supplies, and set off in three days!"

"Yes!"

Cao Pi, Cao Chun and other generals under Cao Cao all accepted the order.

The soldiers, who were originally confused and at a loss, regained their will to fight after hearing the order to go to war.

"Your Majesty, please go back first. It's still too chaotic outside."

Emperor Xian of Han took a look at the blood that had not yet been cleaned up in the square, nodded silently, and followed Cao Cao back to the attic.

The attic has changed a lot now, and the former singing girls are nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there are several detailed maps and a carefully made simple sand table, which exude a sense of tension before the battle.

"Wen Ruo, I'll leave the food and supplies to you. It will be quite troublesome to collect supplies now before the army goes out to fight."

"Yes."

Xun Yu bowed his head slightly. Although Cao Cao's order made him feel a little embarrassed, he was still very happy to see Cao Cao regain his fighting spirit.

Since retreating to Yecheng, Cao Cao had become addicted to wine and sex like Lu Bu before him. Everyone had tried various methods to help Cao Cao regain his spirits but failed.

And now, the Prime Minister Cao that they are familiar with is finally back.

As the recruitment order was posted in Yecheng, the whole city was in an uproar.

When the people learned that Cao Cao was preparing to put an end to the rebellion of demons, they rushed to sign up to join the army.

Most of these people had fled here from other cities. They had been deeply harmed by the demons and hated them to the core. Now that they had the opportunity to take revenge, they would naturally not hesitate.

The next day, Lin Yi finally obtained the imperial seal from Emperor Xian of Han.
