Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 223 The Destruction of the City, Bizarre and Evil Spirits!
The sedan chair was silent.
The surrounding Yin and Yang energies smoothed out the traces of their journey.

It stopped outside Wushi Town, like a rock that had always stood there, unnoticed by anyone, not even Wu Junzheng in the sky.

The moment the sedan chair came to a stop, a clear voice rang out from inside, carrying a hint of inquiry:

"Is the evil spirit you're talking about located in this city?"

Inside the sedan chair, a dark, swirling light materialized, conjuring a head the size of a millstone, with a long, thin black shadow trailing below it, resembling a black ball released into the air.

As the shadowy figure materialized, its head eagerly began to nod, much to the amazement of the paper goddess who was driving the sedan chair beside it.

As she looked around, a sense of crisis began to surface within her.

After leaving Wulian Ridge, the journey took eight or nine days.

She witnessed the other party's amazing abilities firsthand; the other party seemed to have a natural sensitivity to evil spirits and spirits!
The Paper Goddess's goal is to win over the taste buds of the three gentlemen at the Three Immortals Pavilion and ensure her invincibility.

However, the three gentlemen had rather eclectic tastes, which she couldn't possibly satisfy with just a few jars of seasoning.

At least these evil spirits and demons can't find themselves!

It wasn't so bad before. Although she knew that the Second Master ate this kind of food, it was always the Second Master who personally took care of it, so she didn't have anything to worry about.

But things are different now. The shadowy figure is forcefully intruding into his territory and trying to steal his livelihood!

Although the Paper Goddess was anxious and filled with a sense of crisis, she did not show any hostility, which displeased the Second Master.

Along the way, the Second Master has been consuming spirits, and she has also been burning incense and offerings. One day, she will be able to do the same for the Second Master.

She was even planning to raise some spirits in the White Paper Taoist Temple once she had made more incense offerings, so that she could take some out whenever the Second Master wanted to eat them!
Sitting in the sedan chair, Li Wushou's gaze had already reached three miles away, deep into Wushi Town, as he finished asking his questions.

During this time, he found that his horizons had broadened considerably.

He didn't know if it was due to his profound Qi cultivation or the natural evolution after his body and bones fused together.

But there's nothing to investigate here; it's a good thing overall!
After turning his gaze to Wushi Town, Li Wushou noticed the anomaly even without the shadowy figure's confirmation.

At the town gate, chaos was raging, and everyone, from Qi cultivators with some cultivation to ordinary people, was terrified.

They kept attacking the city gate's magic array, seemingly trying to escape from Wushi Town.

At first, Li Wushou didn't know why, but then he saw a scene that surprised him.

A woman was about to help her child who had fallen to the ground, but the moment her hand touched her child...

The child, who was just moments ago so lively, has scattered like weathered sand, followed by a swarm of blackish-gray flying insects flapping their wings.

The flying insect is about a finger's length, with a vertical mouth full of dense teeth on its head, making it resemble a mutated butterfly.

It has three pairs of wings on its back, and each pair of wings has a hideous human face. These faces are somewhat similar to the child who just fell down, but they are extremely distorted!

After devouring the child, the flying insects circled and flew toward his mother.

But instead of rushing in and devouring his mother as Li Wushou had imagined, they flew close to her head and then headed towards the city center.

A heartbroken mother was left at the city gate, and fine dust was constantly scattered as the wings flapped.

These gray powders are difficult to see with the naked eye, let alone when mixed in with the fog.
Li Wushou's mind stirred, and he focused his gaze on the mother. Sure enough, the moment the gray powder came into contact with her, it seemed to come alive and seep into her pores.

The moment it came into contact with flesh and blood, the ash powder instantly transformed into countless dense gray-black insect eggs!
As the insect eggs absorbed the blood, the mother's face instantly turned ashen.

A moment later, it followed in its child's footsteps, transforming into a swarm of flying insects and heading towards the city, along the way it was also scattering that invisible gray powder.

Looking at the dust and powder drifting everywhere above Wushi Town, whose city gates were tightly closed, Li Wushou's expression was solemn.

This city is beyond saving!
But what about Mayor Wu Junzheng?

Before Li Wushou arrived, he had inquired about the information about Wushi Town.

This Wu Junzheng is supposedly a Golden Core cultivator skilled in defensive formations, is that all?
So, this is to prevent people from leaving the city, right?

Li Wushou stepped out of the sedan chair and headed towards Wushi Town. The Paper Goddess tacitly put away the sedan chair and the gold and silver boys, then transformed into a piece of paper and floated into Li Wushou's sleeve.

The second master has something to do, and she can't help him, but she can't cause him any trouble!
The incense smoke from between his brows enveloped him, and with one step, Li Wushou had already entered Wushi Town.

Behind him, a layer of incense smoke quietly covered the dark blue city wall.

A misty, flowing liquid wafts across the mysterious black patterns, which at first glance appear to be cut into segments, wriggling like tadpoles.

As Li Wushou stood inside the city, the incense smoke dissipated, and the black patterns returned to normal.

Throughout the entire process, the power of the magic array remained completely unaffected; the rising incense smoke acted as a key, quietly opening a door within it.

The shrill screams at the city gate gradually subsided. How could a few Qi Refining cultivators possibly open Wu Junzheng's magic array?

Without exception, they were all devoured by those bizarre insects. Bone powder and tattered clothes were scattered all over the ground, and there was no sound at the city gate and in most of the area within Li Wushou's field of vision.

A dark shadow rose up behind Li Wushou, swirling merrily as it rushed toward the pile of corpses, but soon returned in fury.

Even the living souls were eaten?

A dark figure, radiating murderous intent, hovered behind Li Wushou, gazing towards the city center!

The night was shrouded in mist, mixed with bone dust and the dust scattered by the wings of those eerie flying insects, making visibility even more cluttered.

With a thought, Li Wushou felt the Yin and Yang energies within his dantian burst forth from his body.

Similarly, the Yin and Yang, which were fixed within Li Wushou's dantian, began to rotate around him.

The way of Heaven rotates to the left, and the way of Earth rotates to the right!
In the next instant, a domain of law suddenly descended!
This was not a domain activated by Li Wushou through the Yin-Yang Daoist Robe, but rather one that he explored by imitating the operating method of the Taiji Daoist Scripture through his own Yin-Yang spiritual power.

For Li Wushou, this domain of law was undoubtedly easier to control.

Despite the inability to transform the world and the frequent occurrence of strange phenomena, Li Wushou was still very satisfied.

Despite his seemingly insignificant display of power, he knew that the moment his power descended, the entire world within a three-zhang radius centered on him would be under his control!

Moreover, he had a vague intuition that the reason his domain of law was not so flashy or full of strange phenomena was because his Yin and Yang encompassed all things, and all things combined to form heaven and earth!
However, when he discussed it with Master Xuan Yang, Master Xuan Yang opened his mouth in astonishment and after a long while, he murmured uncertainly: "I guess so."

This made Li Wushou somewhat uncertain again!

A sense of helplessness arose in his heart; this disciple of the immortal sect hadn't even been experiencing the teachings of a renowned master for a full month yet.

However, his dantian was still one-fifth short of full. Being able to simulate the Dharma Domain was already an unexpected surprise. What else was there to be dissatisfied about?
The dust and powder filling the air were kept outside the law domain, and Li Wushou walked towards the city center.

With each step, it draws upon the combined power of Yin and Yang, moving like a ghost through the dusty streets.

As they approached the city center, Li Wushou finally spotted Wu Junzheng in his sight.

At this moment, the opponent was ruthlessly killing five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators in mid-air. In Li Wushou's view, some of these Foundation Establishment cultivators had already had their eggs laid by the strange flying insects, while others had not yet.

But Wu Jun seemed to have gone berserk, with strange black runes swirling around him, blocking the retreat routes of several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The black inscriptions twisted like living things and drilled into the bodies of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the blink of an eye, all of them died!

Wu Junzheng gathered the black runes, binding the remains of these people along with the flying insects that had hatched into the black runes, and then crushed them into nothingness!

Wu Jun's expression was solemn. These strange flying insects lay their eggs inside people's bodies. Once the eggs hatch, they will devour the person and then fly out to lay more eggs. At this rate of spread, once it spreads, the Land of Misfortune will probably be wiped out!

He noticed something was wrong that afternoon and immediately contacted Yunxu Sanren in Haiyuan City. Yunxu Sanren was a True Lord who ruled Haiyuan City, and Wushi Town was naturally under his jurisdiction.

However, after receiving the message, Yunxu Sanren replied after a long time, telling him to seal off the town and wait for Haiyuan City to handle it.

But even now, he still hasn't seen Haiyuan City!

Wu Jun was cursing under his breath, already on the verge of exploding. At this moment, the managers of the merchants in Haiyuan City behind him also began to crawl out of their bodies with worms. He could no longer tolerate it and took the opportunity to cleanse them!
The town he had painstakingly built over decades was destroyed in an instant. Where would he get his cultivation supplies from now on?

Nobody's going to have it easy!
After killing everyone behind him, Wu Jun flew towards the center of the town.

Just now, he finally discovered the clues to that evil spirit!
He was unwilling to retreat so easily; he wanted to see what exactly had destroyed his empire!
After nearly a day of carnage, the entire town of Wushi finally fell into complete silence, with only the buzzing of wings in the air remaining.

In the very center of the town, there is a circular bluestone square. At this moment, the original color of the stone bricks can no longer be seen, and only a thick layer of gray powder remains.

In the center of the square, there is a giant cocoon that is about two or three zhang tall.

The cocoon is covered with a fine, powdery black color. A large number of flying insects fly in from all directions, hovering orderly above the cocoon, constantly flapping their wings and scattering all the gray powder onto the cocoon.

Then one by one they rushed into the cocoon!
Li Wushou stared intently at the enormous cocoon, where a surge of blood energy and malevolent aura churned, and within it, a colossal creature was being conceived.

The creature was curled up, its slender, withered limbs covered in hard carapaces and sharp barbs at the tips. Behind it grew a pair of enormous, black, satin-like wings that partially enveloped its entire body.

A flash of blood appeared under his ribs as Li Wushou gripped his magic sword, preparing to strike first and cut off the opponent's cocoon!
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out from above the square:

"You beast, you've destroyed my lawful land? Die!"

Wu Jun was suspended in mid-air, his hands forming a seal, and mysterious inscriptions fell from the sky like a black rain.

Li Wushou paused, looking at Wu Junzheng with some surprise.

The town gates of Wushi were locked, and the townspeople were trapped inside, dying of exhaustion.

He just saw Wu Jun wreaking havoc in the sky, killing all those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He even thought that the evil spirit was raised by Wu Junzheng!

Now it seems that it wasn't?
