Chapter 404 Complete Victory
The army marched in a mighty procession, with drums and gongs resounding through the sky.
The bloody aura enveloping Yicheng was even stronger than in the previous days.
Huo Die used divine fire to clear the way and protect the army as they entered the city.
The cultivation levels of the evil cultivators within the city have surged to their limit.
At the same time, they also lost their minds.
The evil cultivators, like mad beasts who had lost their minds, rushed madly toward the north gate after smelling the clean spiritual energy.
The divine fire spread throughout the city, and the evil cultivators who rushed over, like moths to a flame, died in the battle.
Shen Yao deliberately wore a black outfit and carried a black God-Slaying Blade, slashing at the evil cultivator's head with each strike.
The scabbard transformed into a black mist shield, protecting her as she charged forward, preventing bloodworms and evil creatures from getting close to her.
Other cultivators had to guard against being parasitized by bloodworms, but she wasn't afraid.
As she fought her way through, she eventually broke out of the protective range of the divine fire.
Feng Yu unleashed several sword strikes in unison, slaying the surrounding evil cultivators. Turning around, he saw a dark figure darting out alone beyond the flames.
He shouted through a megaphone, "Yanzhou, come back!"
"Slashing the mountain with my blade!" Shen Yao slashed forward, and a large number of the evil cultivators who were attacking her fell instantly.
"Thirty kills, awesome!" She glanced at the corpses briefly, then flew back to Feng Yu's side to fight alongside him: "I'm back."
Feng Yu finished off an evil ancestor remotely: "Don't run out again."
Shen Yao replied, "I have a guardian spirit; the bloodworms can't bite me."
Blood splattered on Feng Yu's robes: "We still can't go out."
Shen Yao knew he meant well, but she really didn't need to be protected like this.
She's become a Celestial Venerable! How many Celestial Venerables are there in the world? She's perfectly capable of standing on her own.
The rebellious boy, harboring a rebellious heart, went to Tu Xiaoxiao's side.
Feng Yu had a feeling that her child was growing up and becoming disobedient... She hoped that Qing'er wouldn't be like her mother when she grew up, so unruly...
The battlefield is cruel, not only to the weaker enemy.
Immortal cultivators also suffer casualties from time to time.
Those who are unfortunately infected by bloodworms and refuse to commit suicide will be decisively eliminated by their comrades.
The overall situation must be prioritized, and no personal feelings can be tolerated.
The range of the talisman fire array plate is expanding, and the range of the divine fire protective realm is also expanding.
The battle lasted for six hours, and the rampaging evil cultivators were all turned into corpses.
The divine fire protected the army as they retreated outside the city. Above Yicheng, the five-wheeled array of talismanic fires spun ceaselessly, absorbing and burning the bloodworms of Yicheng.
Huo Die led Shen Yao and Feng Yu to find the array point and destroy the Yicheng Blood Array.
With the help of two top-tier array masters, they quickly located the array point and dispelled the Yicheng Blood Array.
In the large courtyard, there is a pool filled with bloodworms.
In the churning pool of blood, dark red worms intertwined and swarmed together.
Shen Yao had a bad feeling: "Father, this blood pool looks a lot like the blood pool in the underground casino in Ruifeng City."
Feng Yu and Huo Die immediately understood what she meant.
Perhaps a blood demon is sealed at the bottom of the blood pool.
Huo Die, his face grim, unleashed divine fire to burn the blood pool.
This blood pool is twice the size of the blood pool in the underground casino, and it burns much faster.
The foul-smelling pool of blood was burned away, and a thick layer of insect ash covered the bottom of the pool.
Feng Yu formed hand seals and cast a cleansing spell, and the blood and ash quickly disappeared, leaving the lotus leaf-shaped pool looking brand new.
The bottom of the pool was paved with plain-colored ceramic bricks. Huo Die summoned a burrowing talisman and ordered the talisman paper to probe the ground.
Beneath the plain-colored ceramic bricks, there were surprisingly rubies.
Within each cubic ruby lies a black magical artifact.
After seeing the illusion, Feng Yu confirmed, "These magical artifacts are the same as those in the underground casino's laboratory; they are used to absorb and convert energy."
After thinking it over, Huo Die said, "Dig up the pool, destroy the magical artifact, and take all the gems."
The magical artifacts here are full of insect eggs; they can't be taken back for research, they really have to be destroyed.
There were no insect eggs inside the ruby, but it contained evil energy. Huo Die said that after purifying it, it would become a good material.
They moved quickly, and left through the north gate after finishing their preparations.
The military camp has been moved to outside the north gate.
Seeing them come out, Tu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yun hurriedly went to greet them.
Tu Xiaoxiao went straight to Shen Yao and said sweet words as usual: "Yao Yao, are you tired? You've been busy for two hours, and I've been thinking about you for two hours."
Huo Die closed his eyes, turned his head to one side, and waved his hand dismissively: "Go away, you two go away and be all lovey-dovey."
It is estimated that it will take more than half a month to completely eradicate the bloodworms in Yicheng and the surrounding areas to the southeast and west.
Shen Yao and the others stayed here, with nothing to do for the time being.
After discussion, Huo Die decided to stay here to set up an array and guard against the bloodworms.
Shen Yaofeng, Yu, and Tu Xiaoxiao will temporarily return to Chongcheng to form their own branch. Once Yicheng is completely reclaimed, they will come back to take over the next city.
As they parted, Chu Yun stammered, "Old Man Huo, Fairy Shen... I... can I go with you to the branch sect?"
Why not? Shen Yao readily agreed: "Sure, you go first."
"Thank you, Fairy Shen." Chu Yun thanked Shen Yao and then asked Huo Die for permission: "Father Huo, may I go?"
Huo Dietai understood exactly what he was thinking.
I'm trying to steal his little cabbage.
If he couldn't take Chu Yun as his apprentice, he would take Chu Yun as his son-in-law; Huo Die had long thought of this.
If he takes her as his son-in-law, he can openly and legitimately teach her real skills.
It's a pity that Little Cabbage doesn't want the Immortal Lord.
He rarely interfered in the younger generation's romantic affairs, but he did encourage Chu Yun: "Where there's a will, there's a way. Nothing is unchangeable. Go."
"I understand, thank you, Father." Chu Yun was greatly encouraged. He bid farewell to Huo Die and took the lead in entering the light gate.
Tu Xiaoxiao and Feng Yu exchanged a glance, both wondering what kind of riddle their father-in-law and Chu Yun were playing.
No matter what the riddle is, as long as this kid doesn't have any delusions, they can be friends.
The Obsidian Teleportation Array has the same internal structure as the Obsidian Teleportation Array.
The secondary array point can be instantly teleported, but to reach the main array point from the secondary array point, one needs to go through the obsidian passage.
The passage is short, only a 15-minute walk.
Once inside the obsidian passage, Tu Xiaoxiao's fox-like eyes darted around as she chatted with Chu Yun: "Brother Chu, what brings you back to the branch sect?"
Chu Yun is upright and persistent, but he is not stupid.
When they first came to the branch clan, they conspired to get rid of him and prevent him from living in Fenghongyuan. He knew then that he had become their imagined rival in love.
Chu Yun was not one to play tricks; he immediately revealed his true intentions: "I like salted fish and want to be her husband. Although I have been rejected before, I still want to try again."
Tu Xiaoxiao's fox-like eyes lit up: "Good lad, you're straightforward enough. I'll help you, brother."
"Stop!" Shen Yao called out to them, and said to Chu Yun, "Have you thought this through? My sister wants to find seven husbands."
Chu Yun replied, "To be honest, Fairy Shen, I've thought it through these past two years. I really do like Xianyu Sister."
Feng Yu disagreed, did not interrupt, and offered no comment.
Shen Yao didn't know what to say. When it comes to matters of the heart, only those involved truly understand. Whether Chu Yun pursued Xianyu or not, and whether Xianyu agreed or not, were their private matters.
She looked at Chu Yun for a long time, and only said, "Think it through."
Tu Xiaoxiao wrapped her long arm around Chu Yun and asked, "You confessed to her before? Why did she reject you?"
Chu Yun glanced back at Feng Yu and truthfully confessed, "She said that the Immortal Lord is possessive and does not intend to find him as her husband."
Shen Yao couldn't help but smirk.
Feng Yu, who remained silent, was also caught in the crossfire.
Tu Xiaoxiao laughed without any attempt to hide her laughter: "Hahaha, it's all thanks to certain immortal lords who set a good example. Brother Yun, you are truly innocent."
