Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 404 The city has been cleared
So let me lend you a hand.

He turned back to look at the still convulsing Golden Dragon King and smiled, his eyes flashing with white light, officially announcing his existence with his divine soul.

He extensively bestows the Dharma upon all sentient beings, purifying their Dharma eyes. With his true Dharma, he subdues all heretical and heterodox doctrines.

Lion's Roar!
"Get out! Get out of Suzhou and I'll spare your life."

I'm a big shot in Buddhism, no more pretense!

The violent spiritual power was blasted into Deng You's mind by the Buddhist method of mind-to-mind transmission.

boom!
Its massive body crashed uncontrollably to the ground, exacerbating its injuries, and blood splattered out like fireworks from the broken parts of its carapace.

But it was precisely this injury that restored some of his senses.

Lying on the ground, Deng You looked at the ordinary humans running in the distance with his bloodshot compound eyes.
He struggled forward, supporting his companions and helping them escape. His scholar's robes were torn into stripes, with traces of blood visible. His pale face and black dust made him look like an ordinary person.

Good heavens, look at how he stumbles and falls. Is he still pretending?
Your cultivation level is roughly the same as mine at my peak, so why resort to such underhanded tactics to harm the demon?!
The wicked bald thief in the Buddhist sect is truly evil!
A thousand herbivores are running rampant inside me, and all that's left of my rationality is used to hurl the most vile insults.

However, I also understand that if we were truly surrounded by the human army, I might actually perish here in my current state.

The plan had failed, and the will to survive led it to choose to temporarily flee.

But with his mind clouded by calamity, and having all his plans ruined by the most despicable means, leaving him in a state of utter despair, how could he possibly let it go so easily!

bump! !

The earth let out a painful cry, and half the city trembled.

A golden shadow shot out from the smoke and dust, heading straight for Taihu Lake.

Wash away the realgar powder, muster the troops of Taihu Lake, and massacre the city of Suzhou!

There was no fear in his compound eyes, only self-righteous madness. A lotus flower pattern slowly bloomed on his forehead.

Outside the mansion, the noble families and soldiers who had been thrown about were somewhat bewildered. Had the monster escaped?
The space suddenly became quiet, and my panicked heart felt empty.

Ordinary people who have not experienced much war and disaster urgently need someone to guide them.

Lu Dan subconsciously looked at Xu Xuan, and the others also looked at Mr. Xu, who was known for his wisdom and strategy.

Mr. Xu knew this was not the time to decline or be modest, so he immediately said:
"Don't chase poor bandits."

"Mobilize troops to guard outside the city."

"The remaining constables should clear the bricks and stones from the scene, and those with spare capacity should immediately rescue the people."

Great! This plan still resonates with everyone.

Who would want to chase after a monster? Let alone whether they could catch it, what good would it do even if they did?

When facing class enemies and political adversaries, we must fight them to the death. But when faced with this exceptional enemy, we'll wait and see.
The deceased is gone, but those who are alive and wish to seek revenge can spend a large sum of money to hire a master in a famous mountain or blessed land to help them.

As for troops entering the city, they are more likely to cause war, and so far only the troops of Jianye have broken this precedent.

Even the prefectural commander in Suzhou didn't believe that his troops would have such awareness.

Therefore, everyone should return to a safe location first and then make further plans, as this place is too dangerous.

"My lord, why don't I go and see where that monster has gone?"

"Exorcising demons and monsters is our specialty."

At this moment, a worshipper carrying a skull ritual implement walked out excitedly, his eyes shining with a bright green light.

With such a momentous event occurring in Suzhou, extraordinary individuals were compelled to come by their master's command.

Upon seeing the mass of black centipedes, I was already filled with apprehension and dared not approach.

When the giant golden centipede appeared, I was so scared I almost peed my pants! Its aura was incredibly powerful!
This is a real monster. We were paid to risk our lives, but we're not exactly good people who keep their promises.

Those with a conscience fled with their masters, while those without any conscience used various means to hide until now. Now, seeing Deng You severely wounded and on the verge of death fleeing this place, for some reason, the greed in their hearts could no longer be suppressed.

Every part of a demon beast is a treasure; what would happen if it transformed into a powerful demon?! A powerful demon I've never seen before in my life is suddenly about to die right before my eyes.

What is this? This is an opportunity bestowed from heaven!

As for a little danger, that's nothing.
Every step forward for a rogue cultivator is a gamble with their life; this time, they have to go all in!
His desire burned ever brighter, and he even became somewhat impatient.

Not just this one, but one after another, the devotees who attended yesterday's press conference on Xu Xuan's case came out.

Ninety percent of the practitioners wanted to participate in the pursuit, and coincidentally, those marked by the Holy Father with heavy karma were among them.

Xu Xuan sighed silently; he really didn't want things to turn out this way.

But you were so close to me yesterday that I couldn't resist making some arrangements.

Ordinary humans are protected by their luck, but cultivators always have to go through some tribulations.

Let the Holy Father be your tribulation, and send you back to your homeland.

I don't want to be a human in my next life either.

As the number of people gathered increased, a competitive atmosphere emerged among them.

Everyone is thinking about sharing the prey, but they can't figure out who the prey is.

Cultivating only one's nature while neglecting one's destiny is the first serious ailment in spiritual practice.

These extraordinary individuals are inherently unruly, and the established families can only hope for their safe return; otherwise, their previous investments will be wasted.

This strange group of people also headed towards Taihu Lake in large numbers.

Each of them used their unique escape techniques, fearing that if they were too slow, someone else would get the first taste.

In an instant, Suzhou became much quieter and more peaceful.

Xu Xuan and Senior Lu went to a safe, secluded room to organize their thoughts, while the task of cleaning up the scene was handed over to the Commandant.

"Alas, I accomplished nothing this time; on the contrary..."

The matter has escalated to such a great extent that a reasonable explanation is needed to persuade the imperial court to let the important officials of Yangzhou off the hook.

Moreover, the fact that the governor is a monster is really shocking.

This inevitably raises the question of whether other officials will do the same.
Lu Biejia had a splitting headache, but Xu Xuan said something:
"Heaven cherishes life, and the earth is generous in bearing all things."

"We are all morally upright people, so there is no need to be discouraged when we encounter a crisis."

Lu Dan was speechless. "Junior, you are a moral person, so of course you have nothing to fear. But I, your senior, have been out of school for many years and I'm lacking in some ways."

Of course, Xu's next words indicated that the previous statement was not unfounded.

"This matter is no longer confined to Yangzhou. With so many witnesses, the officials in the imperial court should be the ones with a headache."

With the roof blown off, who cares if the windows are broken?

Senior Lu immediately felt relieved. Sigh... it doesn't seem like a bad thing to go big.

If I had to say that you, junior, have earned Professor Sheng's appreciation, your mindset is far superior to that of us mediocre folks.

Xu Xuan remained composed despite the flattery, as it was all part of his plan and he would naturally stay calm.

Then he looked towards Taihu Lake.

I imagine this year's fish and turtles will be exceptionally plump and delicious.
