Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 174 Qi Dan!

"No, the car can't get in!"
"The wind is so strong!"

In the operations command center, a group of people stood with solemn expressions.

"The City God Temple cannot enter Hongfeng Town."

"Even the Immortal Official of the Soaring Clouds cannot enter Red Maple Town."

"Even special vehicles can't get in."

The Ukrainian minister stared at the map on the big screen, his face growing increasingly grim.

"Are the 200,000 people in Red Maple Town just waiting to die?"

Silence fell completely in the operations command center.

Now, almost everyone else in the area has been rescued.

Only Red Maple Town remains, with its 200,000 inhabitants imprisoned by the Immortal Realm, beyond rescue.

The Ukrainian minister frowned.

"Have you contacted the Minister of Maps?"
"Why can't we get into the City God Temple?"

The person next to him nodded.

"I just got in touch with them."

"The Minister of Maps said... he was powerless to do anything about it."

……

Blah blah blah...

Outside the council chamber, a bitter wind and rain raged.

The Niu family members stared at the illusory scene in the hall and saw that the Supreme Officials had already set up a barrier to prevent any celestial officials from entering Red Maple Town to rescue people.

The head of the Niu family grinned.

"Okay, okay.

"Red Maple Town has 200,000 people, enough for the Banana Leaf Fan to take root and flourish."

"The task assigned by the Great Sage has been completed."

Sitting by the door, Niu Qiang felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the cold wind and rain outside.

A town with 200,000 people, just like that, it's going to disappear?
The three generations of the Niu family standing nearby muttered to themselves.

"More than ten million people were rescued, leaving us with only two hundred thousand... Your rescue capabilities in the mortal realm are indeed quite formidable."

"Fortunately, we only need 100,000 living souls, so we don't need that many."

He shifted his position in the chair, finding a more comfortable posture.

Niu Qiang was stunned.

He wasn't well-educated, but he knew that the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people at once was an extremely rare event, even in the entire history of humankind.

But how come these immortals talk about it as if it were some trivial matter?

……

Huff...woo...

A giant black cloud drifted in, and Wu Yun and Diao Yinyin stood on the edge, watching as the gale-force winds from the sky poured into the ground, were sucked up by the huge strange tree, and then blew out in all directions along the ground, creating a devastating gale!

"What is this?"

"How creepy."

The sable peeked out and frowned as it watched.

"Ow?"

It had always thought that the peach tree was very big, but compared to this strange tree, the peach tree looked like an ant.

The giant black cloud continued to drift forward, only to see endless runes rising from the ground ahead, weaving into a barrier.

Wu Yun did not continue forward.

Because he sensed that the clouds within the fence were beyond his control...

"What kind of special ability is this?"

He had no choice but to stay there, looking down with Diao Yinyin.

But below, amidst the vast sandstorm, a figure in black robes hovered in mid-air, palms clasped together, chanting incantations, his body radiating countless fine runes.

Between heaven and earth, from all directions, sounds came from the wind and sand.

"We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other?"

"Two hundred thousand lives in this town, all living people just like you and me."

"Can't we really spare their lives?"

The black-robed figure hovering in mid-air opened its eyes and stopped chanting.

He grinned.

"They are complete strangers to me; their lives or deaths are none of my concern."

"But the Great Sages of the Celestial Realm want them dead, and the Celestial Lords of the Tushita Palace want them dead."

"Orders from above are hard to disobey. I'm just an executor."

"They can only blame themselves for being born in the wrong place; it's their fate!"

The voice that shouted this came from Fang Wanjuan.

At this moment, his tone was emotional, and he could not hide his excitement.

"You are not only a celestial official, you are also a mortal!"

"Do we really want to aid and abet evil?"
"Do we really want to help them harm their own people?"

Upon hearing this, Taishang Xingxing burst out laughing.

"What do you think celestial officials are?"
"Where do you think your status and your magical arts came from?"
"Isn't giving you a position just to make you a traitor?"

"The immortal lords haven't assigned you the task yet; it's just not the right time."

"But if you think you're not a traitor, that's wishful thinking."

"I am paid by the emperor and I will serve him faithfully, with nothing to hide."

"You eat the food and then smash the pot, you wean and then curse your mother, you are utterly devoid of conscience."

The harshest and most blunt words were spoken in the loudest voice, echoing in the vast sandstorm.

Fang Wanjuan had fallen silent and could no longer utter a sound.

……

All the stadiums, hotels, and student dormitories of Qianzhou City have been requisitioned.

People were crammed into stadiums, hotel rooms and corridors; some were still trembling, some were ravenously eating boxed lunches, and others were frantically making phone calls to share their joy at escaping death.

"Hey? Uncle, where are you?"
"I'm at the former Green Garden Hotel!"

"Are you alright? Are your aunt, younger siblings, and others all alright?"

Diao Heihei and Diao Baibai, dressed in black cloud invisibility cloaks, one holding a spirit-detecting stick and the other carrying a spirit-storing pot, weaved through the crowd in the corridor, searching for the temple's spiritual energy.

"Aww aww?"

The yield of spiritual energy from this temple isn't high either!

"Aww, waah?"

It seems most people still don't understand the boss, so we need to strengthen our communication!
Suddenly, they heard a phone call coming from ahead.

"Huh? Uncle's family hasn't been rescued yet?"

"Isn't Red Maple Town a bit too far inland?"

Someone nearby echoed in agreement.

"My sister got married and moved to Hongfeng Town, and I still can't get in touch with her."

“My brother’s family runs a restaurant in Hongfeng Town, and we still can’t get in touch with them.”

"It should be soon, right?"

Red Maple Town?
The two minks didn't quite understand, so they continued walking and collecting spiritual energy.

……

"...I gave you a position just so you could become a traitor..."

"...I am paid by the emperor, and I am loyal to him without reservation..."

In the operations command center, Minister Ukrainian and others heard this statement relayed by the helicopter at high altitude.

Everyone listened, their faces turning pale, speechless.

But there was no way to refute it.

"This……"

"Is there anyone else who can help?"

"Fang Wanjuan has already left?"

"Even if you're a ninth-grade cultivator who has passed through the Thunder Pool, you can't help?"
"Even if you're a ninth-grade cultivator who has passed the Path of Cloud Ascent, you can't help?"

……

Huff...woo...

in the sky.

Wu Yun stood at the edge of the dark clouds, looking down at the Supreme Walker below.

"There's no need to put it that way."

"If there were other ways, the immortal realm would not be willing to give away the positions to unrelated mortals for nothing."

"No one can say for sure how the situation will develop in the future."

"But today, the people of Red Maple Town will not die."

"None of you lackeys will live either."

He turned and went to the cabinet, taking out two Qi Dan pills.

One of them was a "giant pig ball" that I thought was useless.

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he activated it!
The pig-shaped ball suddenly burst into a blazing white light, began to expand and grow, and turned into a dazzling cloud!
