554: Chapter 64 Chaos in Yudu City

"City Lord, something terrible has happened! Many people in the city have suddenly developed abnormalities; their eyes are glowing red, and they are moving like the walking dead."

Upon hearing the guard's report, Wei Qiong was first startled, then he quickly leaped to the highest point of the City Lord's Manor to look around and observe the situation within the city.

When he saw that the situation was indeed as the guard had described, his expression changed drastically.

Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi, and the others also found high vantage points to observe, and their expressions similarly turned grim.

They had only just finished reporting the situation and were preparing to take precautions and solve the problem, but in the next moment, things had taken a turn for the worst.

This truly caught the group off guard.

Afterward, through observation, everyone discovered that although those commoners were like the walking dead, they were not wandering aimlessly. Instead, they seemed to be drawn by something, all converging toward the city gate.

Obviously, something over there was summoning them.

Wei Qiong immediately said, "Let's go take a look."

With that, he summoned an iron staff and leaped across the rooftops, rushing toward the city gate.

Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi, and the rest of the group followed suit.

As for why they didn't just fly there?

There was a Runic Grand Array within the city that prohibited flight.

In other places, people who were still unharmed also noticed something was wrong and headed toward the city gate.

For example, Jin Binger of the Jinxiu Workshop.

Kuong A Xiang of the Kuong Family.

As well as Ghost Master, Bi Yao, and You Ji, who had entered the city to gather information.

Although Ghost Master planned to meet Meng Li the next day, it concerned the Wanfu Ancient Cave and the Heavenly Tome. To be safe, he entered the city a day early, wanting to ask the Azure Dragon, who was in the Incarnation of the guard Dongfang, about the situation and see if there were any gains.

Bi Yao and You Ji had nothing else to do, so they came along.

Unexpectedly, not long after the three of them entered the city, such a major upheaval occurred.

From a hidden corner, You Ji looked at those commoners who were like the walking dead and frowned. "This looks like the handiwork of the Wandu Sect. Ghost Master, what should we do next?"

Ghost Master stroked his beard and said calmly, "Wait and see."

"The Wandu Sect has caused such a huge commotion; they probably don't know that the Black-Hearted Old Man and Jin Ling are in the city."

"This is just as well. Let the two sides clash first, along with the City Lord's Manor and the people of the Righteous Path."

"No matter who wins or loses, it is currently beneficial and harmless to us."

You Ji and Bi Yao found this reasonable and continued to observe in secret.

...

With such a loud commotion outside, Jin Ling, Spring Breeze, Summer Flower, Autumn Snow, and Winter Moon naturally couldn't have failed to notice.

Sensing that something was wrong, they immediately leaped to a high point to observe.

After seeing the situation clearly, Spring Breeze said to Jin Ling, "Madam, it looks like something major is happening. Should I go out and take a look?"

Jin Ling raised her hand to stop her, saying, "The situation is unclear. Do not act rashly. Wait until my husband returns."

Having said that, she turned and went back into the courtyard.

Before long, Meng Li emerged from the ground using the Earth-Traveling Immortal technique.

Jin Ling immediately went to meet him with a smile. "Husband, you're back. Did everything go smoothly?"

Meng Li nodded. "Everything went smoothly."

He had gone to the Dripping Blood Cave to take care of some loose ends.

For instance, the 'Everywhere Connect's Zhang Chulan was here' message he had left out of a sense of mischief during his first visit to the Dripping Blood Cave.

Or the dilapidated and messy state of the Dripping Blood Cave.

Since he had created the persona of the Black-Hearted Old Man, he naturally couldn't leave any obvious flaws.

As for the remains of the Black-Hearted Old Man and Lady Jin Ling, when Jin Ling went to the Dripping Blood Cave to move stones earlier, she had buried them out of respect for her connection with Lady Jin Ling.

However, out of resentment toward the fact that 'the Black-Hearted Old Man prioritized his career over love, ultimately causing Lady Jin Ling to sacrifice herself for love,' she buried the two of them separately.

Although the Black-Hearted Old Man's choice was a part of what led to her birth, people are irrational when their emotions are high, and Yin Spirits are no different.

Afterward, Meng Li sensed that something was wrong outside and couldn't help but wonder, "What happened outside?"

Jin Ling replied, "Those people seem to be under some form of control; they've lost their senses and are swarming toward the city gate. If I'm not mistaken, the perpetrator of all this is over there. Shall we go take a look?"

Meng Li nodded. "Let's go see."

...

Meanwhile, at the city gate.

The Poison God and a group of Wandu Sect members had already made their way from outside the city into the city.

Looking at those people who were like the walking dead, the Poison God couldn't help but laugh loudly. "The Beast Spirit Blood Gu truly lives up to its reputation; it was well worth all the effort I put in. From now on, this Yudu City belongs to the Wandu Sect. Everything in the city will be dominated by me!"

No sooner had these arrogant words been spoken than a loud shout came from nearby: "Wishful thinking!"

Immediately after, Wei Qiong rushed over at high speed, swinging the iron staff in his hand to attack the Poison God.

But halfway through the attack, he was intercepted by the Blood-Sucking Old Demon and the Hundred Poisons Child.

Wei Qiong fought one against two and was slightly at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon, who had followed behind, had a flicker in his eyes but ultimately chose to join the battle and help Wei Qiong.

His goal had not yet been achieved; Wei Qiong could not die yet.

At this time, Li Xun, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu, Lu Xueqi, and Tian Linger also arrived and joined the battle without a word.

Although they were all in the Yuqing Realm, they could still have a certain impact in a situation where the two-on-two battle was relatively balanced.

For a moment, the situation became seven against two. The Hundred Poisons Child and the Blood-Sucking Old Demon were somewhat overwhelmed and had to retreat.

Wei Qiong, Zeng Shushu, Tian Linger, and the others wanted to take the opportunity to pursue.

Seeing this, the Poison God, who was watching from behind, immediately activated the green Pill Furnace, causing the controlled commoners nearby to move forward and block them.

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

Seeing that the Poison God had actually dragged the commoners into the fight, Zeng Shushu and Li Xun couldn't help but shout out curses.

Wei Qiong's face was grim, as if covered by a dark cloud.

Tian Linger, Lu Xueqi, and Lin Jingyu also had unpleasant expressions.

However, despite their extreme anger, to avoid harming the innocent, they stopped their attacks and retreated to the surrounding high points, forming a standoff with the Poison God's group.

The Azure Dragon did the same.

However, as soon as he landed, he was targeted by the Poison God.

"Isn't this the Azure Dragon Sage Envoy of the Ghost King Sect? Why are you mixing with the people of the Righteous Path?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Qiong, Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi, and the others were shocked.

Wei Qiong was the most shocked of all.

"Are you truly the Demonic Cult envoy, Azure Dragon?" he stared at the Azure Dragon and asked in a low voice.

The Azure Dragon said with a complicated expression, "Tell me the whereabouts of Qin Wuyan and the entrance to the Wanfu Ancient Cave, and I can help Yudu City overcome this disaster."

This was equivalent to admitting his identity.

Wei Qiong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was also somewhat puzzled. "Qin Wuyan, that Poison Young Master? If I remember correctly, he is a member of the Wandu Sect and the Poison God's personal Disciple. If you want to know his whereabouts, you should ask the Poison God."

"As for the entrance to the Wanfu Ancient Cave?"

"The Wanfu Ancient Cave disappeared long ago. How could I know where the entrance is?"
