This god is really evil

Chapter 202 Temple Escape
Hearing the words of the High Priest, the Great Elder Tang Yunsheng present immediately activated his inspiration and shouted loudly:

"Line up, form a formation, and head to Qinghe County!"

The Thousand Eyed God followers present were all elite young and middle-aged men in the sect, numbering almost more than 10,000 to nearly 20,000.

Each one is under the jurisdiction of his own leader, the priest.

After hearing the order, they immediately began to line up in a disorderly manner.

Although they were considered the elite of the Thousand Eyed God Sect, most of them were ordinary farmers, or they might be small business owners, fortune tellers on the streets, healers, small shops sellers, and so on. After all, they were not real professional soldiers, and at this moment, there was immediate chaos.

If they were not led by their own priests and leaders, there would probably be no need for a war and the armies would have completely dispersed during the march.

Gongsun Mou is considered a great talent as he is able to train 6,000 private soldiers who can fight against the peaceful demon camp.

There was chaos and bustle all around, not even a complete formation was formed, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were of varying quality.

Some of those who had practiced martial arts and came from wealthy families had relatively good steel knives, swords, or even spears in their hands, and some even wore incomplete armor.

Most people were holding farm tools in their hands, and some were not even holding metal farm tools, but just holding a wooden stick.

This chaotic scene also made the great elder Tang Yunsheng and other elders ashamed. After all, the hundreds or even thousands of private soldiers under their command performed only slightly better than these ordinary believers.

Even though they secretly hated Gongsun Mou's arbitrary and tyrannical behavior on weekdays, they now missed the days when Gongsun Mou helped the Thousand Eyes Sect train soldiers.

At least it's still watchable.

At this time, the Thousand Eyes Sect Leader Mo Disheng was sitting in a curtain nearby. He did not show up directly but remained mysterious, yet he was also a little embarrassed.

The performance of these believers is really disappointing.

At this time, all the high-ranking members of the Thousand Eyes Sect were secretly observing the High Priest Li Huowang, fearing that the High Priest would be dissatisfied with something.

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things to do when he takes office. The methods Li Huowang displayed when dealing with Gongsun Mou last night were extremely strong and overbearing. They were also afraid that the other party would find an excuse to establish his authority.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to notice the chaos of the Thousand Eyes Cult's followers at all. Instead, they boarded the sedan chair carried by eight followers. Behind the curtain with blood-red eye patterns, the cold voice of the high priest came:
"Set off."

These believers were all warriors with Qi and Blood above the fifth level, and they were considered middle-level leaders in the church. They looked very honored to be carried on the sedan chair, and immediately headed towards Qinghe County with the chief priest Li Huowang.

Seeing that the high priest had already set off, a group of elders and priests hurriedly led their men and followed the high priest, heading towards Qinghe County in a mighty procession.

Tang Yunsheng waved his hand at this time, and several soldiers immediately put up several large flags with a few lines of bloody characters written on them:
Thousand-Eyed Priest Li
The Gods Lantern
Like a deep abyss, like a prison, with thousands of eyes and thousands of stars

Some of these flags were originally Gongsun Mou’s flags, while others were made overnight by Tang Yunsheng’s orders, which can be considered majestic and domineering.

This dilapidated fox fairy temple was not far from Qinghe County, and Qinghe County soon appeared in sight.

After only walking for half an hour, they arrived at the city wall of Qinghe County.

At this time, the gates of Qinghe County were closed. On the city wall, a group of soldiers dressed as constables and servants were holding weapons and bows and arrows, nervously looking at the tens of thousands of eyes outside the city to teach the soldiers, as if they were facing a great enemy.

At the same time, the eight bearers who were carrying the sedan chair carrying High Priest Li Huowang suddenly felt a lightness on their shoulders. They all looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything.

They were just sedan bearers, responsible for carrying the sedan. As for what the high priest wanted to do, it was simply not something they could understand.

However, a thought flashed through the minds of these sedan bearers:
Is the High Priest... still in the sedan chair?

As tens of thousands of religious soldiers appeared, the sound of rumbling drums and noisy shouting could be heard from the city walls:
"It's a cult monster!"

"We have already burned tens of thousands, how come there are still so many!?"

"The High Priest of the Thousand Eyes Cult! He must be a great evil spirit!"

"The same surname as our supervisor, Master Li? Pah! Does this monster have the same surname as him?"

"Don't panic, don't panic. The imperial court's reinforcements must be on the way. With such a big incident, the imperial court can't just ignore it..."

After the chaos of the past few days, from the 3,000-square-meter demon camp being destroyed by tens of thousands of demon-eyed people, to the burning of tens of thousands of corpses yesterday, to the strange zombies that suddenly resurrected last night, to the tens of thousands of evil cult monsters that appeared out of nowhere now, the soldiers composed of constables and servants in the city have long been in a panic.

On weekdays, they at most catch bandits and hunt down those minor evil spirits. When have they ever experienced such a big thing?

No one knows what's going on in Qinghe County recently. First there was the Yuhua case in Weizi Town, then there was the Blood Spirit Cult case, and now the Thousand Eyes Cult is attacking the city. It's really getting out of hand.

On the city wall, Niu Ma, Chong Yun, and Ao Le looked at the Thousand Eyes followers marching in large numbers under the city, their faces full of worry. After the corpses haunted the city last night, Niu Ma immediately led his men back to Qinghe County for defense, fearing that those strange and powerful haunted corpses would enter the county and kill people.

The eight hundred extermination cavalry, together with more than a thousand constables, worked around the clock, hardly daring to close their eyes all night, as they guarded the city wall.

When it was almost dawn, the hundreds of people who had been burning the corpses around the post village returned to the county town under the leadership of Ao Le and Chong Yun.

But they brought even more shocking news to everyone in the city:

Not far outside the city, a large number of Thousand Eyes believers were gathering with great momentum. Judging from their appearance, they were likely to attack Qinghe County!
For a moment, everyone was facing a great enemy, and they just hoped that the target of these Thousand-Eyed Cultists was not Qinghe County, but they did not expect that in the end, they would still wait for this evil cult army of tens of thousands of monsters.

"Lord Ao Le, Lord Li...is there still no news?" Niu Ma asked Ao Le with a frown.

He returned to the county town last night, and until now, he has not seen Li Yan, and he is very worried.

Although Li Yan himself has no combat power, and can even be said to be powerless, he is currently the highest official in the entire Qinghe County and enjoys extremely high prestige among the people.

He was also the middleman who united the power of the Imperial Observatory and the Xuanzhengyuan. Without Li Yan's presence, the current defense force of Qinghe County alone would have difficulty in completely smooth cooperation.

Although they fought together last night, Niu Ma, Ao Le and Chong Yun could be considered to respect each other, but they were far from the level of close cooperation.

Ao Le shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat anxious, and said:

"After Brother Li led his men back to the county town last night, he disappeared. The people at the Imperial Observatory said that he had gone back to the yamen to rest. But when I went to the Imperial Observatory's courtyard this morning to look for him, there was no trace of him at all..."

It would have been terrible if Li Yan had been killed on his way back last night!

It’s unimaginable!
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, still sleepy:

"Master Niu, Senior Brother Aole, Senior Brother Chongyun, what happened? Why are you all so nervous?"

Everyone turned around and saw a man walking up the stone steps to the city wall.

It was Li Yan.

At this moment, Li Yan did not seem to be under any pressure, but rather seemed quite relaxed.

A sense of strangeness flashed through Niu Ma's mind at this moment, but he still suppressed the urge to ask questions. He showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face and bowed to Li Yan:

"Master Li, those demons from the Thousand Eyes Sect have already attacked the county town. Hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County are in urgent need of help. At this time, can Master Li still sleep well?"

Li Yan looked surprised and said:
"The evil cult has attacked the county town!?"

As he said this, he quickly ran to the city wall, looked down through the battlements, and immediately saw the huge flag fluttering in the wind, and tens of thousands of Eye Cultists who were forming a battle formation.

He shuddered involuntarily, his face turned pale in an instant, his brows knitted tightly, and he muttered to himself:
"This Thousand Eyes Cult is simply a leech that can't be driven away..."

"Little Brother Li, the leader and priests of the Thousand Eyes Cult are all experienced sorcerers. It would be hard for us and the constables in the city to defeat them." Chongyun frowned and said quickly, "This is the first time I've seen the flag of Thousand Eyes High Priest Li. This newly elected High Priest is definitely not a good person. He must be a ruthless, cruel and cold-blooded person!"

After a pause, Chongyun continued, "I think we must go to the county city for help... While the Thousand Eyes Sect has only surrounded one gate, Brother Li, quickly take your men and leave to the county city for help!"

Niu Ma nodded and said:

"Lord Chongyun is right. Lord Li, I can lead the Exterminating Cavalry to attract the attention of these evil cult monsters. You need to break out as soon as possible!"

Hearing that Niu Ma put official business first and did not abuse his power for personal gain, Ao Le Chongyun next to him had a much better impression of him.

Li Yan shook his head slightly and said solemnly:

"There are not only these constables and exterminators in the city. The five major temples also have the responsibility to defend their territory. I will now summon the managers of the five major temples to discuss the major plans! The Taoists, monks, fortune tellers, and shamans of each temple should all fight to the death!"

Aole on the side couldn't help but frown and said:

"Not right... The people in the five major temples are all selfish. It would be better if you didn't say anything, Brother Li. If they knew that the county town has been besieged by the followers of the Thousand Eyes Cult, they would probably flee to the county town as soon as possible. The five major temples will be empty!"

Li Yan smiled faintly and said:

"These five great temples are all filled with believers and messengers of the five great gods. How could they just abandon the temples and flee? I don't believe it. Go and pass on the message."
