Chapter 738: Set Out with Me to Flatten Yan Town

The commander, despite his experience in both the battlefield and the palace massacres, was still frightened and stepped back upon seeing the cruel look on Luo Zhen’s face.

Luo Zhen’s sharp eyes and quick hands swiftly removed the Protection Talismans from them.

The devil cultivators laughed wildly, thrilled that they could now freely invade these bodies without restraint. Since the establishment of the Divine Buddha Sect, they had captured and slain over ten thousand devil cultivators. After excluding those who refused to follow his orders and left, there were still many devil cultivators left.

They moved their bodies in various ways, adjusting to their new forms. Unfortunately, they were left with only evil souls, with their power greatly weakened. But it didn’t matter to them. They knew how to start their journey back to becoming devil cultivators.

What Luo Zhen wanted them to do was exactly what they wished to do. With their current power, they couldn’t even defeat a Qi Refining stage warrior. They would have to start by absorbing the vital essence of ordinary mortals to refine it, re-cultivate their inner pills, and regain their strength.

Their faces were filled with evil grins, sneering coldly. One of them impatiently asked, "Where do we kill next? My blade tells me it is already parched with thirst and longs for fresh blood!"

Luo Zhen looked at the densely packed devil cultivators and said, "Then follow me, and we will flatten Yan Town!"

He took out a magical artifact. This artifact could teleport people and objects within a certain range, but it needed to store enough spiritual energy to activate.

He cast the artifact, and in the night, a brilliant light shone and spread wide. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived right in front of Yan Town.

The wind was particularly fierce tonight. Luo Zhen’s sleeve fluttered as he looked at the towering city walls, spreading his arms wide, "Go slaughter! These are your food and your strength!"

The devil cultivators screamed and cheered, raising their weapons and charging forward.

In the distant night, the soldiers guarding the town of Mu Nation couldn’t see the enemy clearly, but they could hear the shouts.

"Enemy attack!"

At the command, the soldiers began to drum and blow horns. Hearing the cries, they knew that a large number of enemies were coming.

The area before Yan Town was flat, and there were scout troops. How could there be no notice or warning of so many enemy soldiers suddenly appearing?

They were surprised but still well-trained and prepared to meet the threat.

That night, the one on duty was Chu Ye.

He had already climbed to the top of the city wall, his gaze sharp, and could clearly see the dense enemy troops below.

It was strange, though. If they were going to attack the city, why would they come this way? How could they break through the city gates with just manpower?

Chu Ye instructed the archers to prepare.

Following the sound of the drumbeats, the archers quickly began firing arrows in an orderly and fierce manner.

The clouds above parted, and the bright moon hung in the sky.

Chu Ye could clearly see that the enemy troops were extremely fierce and were not afraid of arrows at all, with no significant casualties.

He furrowed his brow, thinking to himself that this must be an army that had undergone rigorous training.

However—

The enemy forces were quickly approaching the city, and suddenly, beams of golden light began to shine brightly from the ground.

The devil cultivators froze for a moment, then realized.

It was a talisman array that suppressed all evil beings!

They never expected that in the mortal realm, someone could set up such a powerful talisman array.

But the first devil cultivator who crossed the array was struck and screamed in pain, forced to leave the human body.

That was not all. The golden light falling on their souls seemed like the fires of hell, burning their souls intensely.

Soon, their souls were reduced to wisps of smoke.

The devil cultivators widened their eyes, too afraid to advance any further.

The soldiers of Mu Nation were still stunned.

But Chu Ye had already reacted, shouting, "It’s evil beings! They are all evil beings!"

Since Qi Hong had attacked Yan Town before, the sixth sister had set up a talisman array to prevent evil beings.

Though the devil cultivators dared not approach, Chu Ye still didn’t dare to be careless.

Sure enough, someone flew over and passed through the talisman array. But they were unharmed.

It was Luo Zhen.

"Tsk tsk, after a thousand years, I never expected the talisman arrays of the Human World to be more powerful than those in the Lower Realm."

No wonder the sect leaders of the Upper Realm had been so relentless in their efforts to destroy the Human World’s fortune.

He drew his sword.

The blade shimmered coldly in the moonlight.

He had helped Qingwu and the others with many things and naturally had received many favors in return. He was already at the Golden Core late stage!

Concentrating his spiritual power, his sword was surrounded by his spiritual force.

Chu Ye realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted for his soldiers to retreat.

The sword slashed down with immense power.

The talisman array was broken, and even the heavy city gates were cleaved open!

The smoke and dust from the attack gradually settled.

Though Chu Ye had shouted, many soldiers were still injured by the sword’s energy.

A path had been opened.

One devil cultivator looked at the broken city gates and praised, "Lord Luo, your cultivation is impressive."

Luo Zhen dismissed the compliment, saying, "If it weren’t for the constraints of Heaven’s Way, I could have destroyed half the city with a single sword."

The devil cultivators laughed, "Lord Luo practices evil arts, so you need not fear Heaven’s Way, right?"

Luo Zhen, naturally, was not fooled by their flattering words. He sheathed his sword and pointed at a few people, "You, open the way for me. I will reward you greatly afterward."

Where they killed, whom they killed, they cared not. What they wanted was the vital essence of mortals to aid them in their cultivation.

In Yan Town, Chu Yan and Chu Hanlin had just woken up to the sounds of the enemy’s attack drums.

The soldiers and commanders also awoke, quickly donning armor and grabbing weapons to line up for battle.

When they arrived in Yan Town and saw the city gates broken and the city walls damaged, they were momentarily stunned.

The soldiers on the city walls seemed to have been affected, with continuous painful moans.

Chu Hanlin and Chu Yan frowned deeply.

Fortunately, Chu Ye stood up from the ruins, shook off the dirt and debris, and hurried to them.

Seeing that he was unharmed, the two were relieved.

But the enemy forces outside were already charging in.

"Prepare to face the enemy!" Chu Hanlin ordered.

"Father!" Chu Ye quickly stopped him, "These are evil beings. The enemy soldiers seem to be possessed by them!"

Chu Yan immediately understood Chu Ye’s meaning and raised his hand, ordering, "Expel the evil beings with elite troops!"

"Yes!"

Over a thousand elite soldiers answered, already moving out at the deputy general’s command.

Chu Yan said, "Your blades bear talismans to expel evil beings. They were specially trained by the court to fight against evil forces. Tonight, you shall show your strength!"

The elite soldiers of Mu Nation had resolute expressions and excited hearts.

They had thought that with Qi Hong’s death, their services were no longer needed.

But tonight, they had the chance to slay the evil beings!

As the general, Chu Hanlin should have personally led the charge, but Chu Ye took the lead, saying, "Father, please protect the Third Prince! Defend Yan Town!"

With his sword in hand, he mounted his horse with heroic grace.

The blade he wielded also bore the talisman to expel evil.

The enemy was charging fiercely, and they didn’t know the full extent of their strength or numbers, so they could not afford to be disorganized.

After all, the enemy soldiers were possessed by evil beings, and the ordinary Mu Nation soldiers were no match for them. Recklessly charging would only lead to certain death.

Chu Yan, deeply worried, moved his mouth but could only say one sentence before his troops: "General, be careful."
