Chapter 170, Demon Followers
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
A loud explosion sounded in the night sky, startling Master Lu and the white-haired old man, and both stopped their actions and looked in the direction of the stone terracotta warriors.
I just happened to see a few of the outermost rows of stone terracotta warriors exploded.
The next moment, a roar was heard and the ground began to shake. Then, everyone saw the stone terracotta warriors moving quickly, changing into various formations, and raising the stone spears and stone knives in their hands.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Shouts of killing that resounded through the sky came from the terracotta soldiers, and for a moment, the surrounding area became solemn and fierce.
Looking at this scene, Baili Changfeng and Master Lu were both stunned.
"What's going on? Why was the military formation activated?"
Hua Changxi, who was hiding in the dark, was also a little stunned. She just wanted to stop the seven monks, but she didn't expect it would cause such a big commotion.
At the same time, a horn sounded suddenly over Qianmen Fort to meet the enemy.
"Oh no! Someone broke into the army!"
Qianmen Fort, which was originally so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there, suddenly became crowded with people.
On the city wall, Prince Gu saw that Liu Chengxiong had not made up his mind to cooperate with the Mansion of Duke Xin, and had planned to return home and come again next time. He did not expect that a horn would suddenly sound from Qianmen Fort.
"General Liu, what happened?"
Liu Chengxiong looked grim: "Someone broke into the army formation."
The duty of Qianmen Fort is to guard the center of the formation. As long as someone breaks into the military formation and threatens the stability of the center of the formation, the demon-suppressing guards in the fort have to come out to resist the enemy.
As the supreme commander of Qianmen Fort, he has to be at the forefront.
Liu Chengxiong would have avoided taking action if he could because his soul was about to dissipate, but now that the military formation was activated, he had to step forward to resolve the issue.
At this moment, he regretted very much that he should not have let that group of people cross the Soul-Breaking Mountain.
There is no doubt that the military formation was activated because of the noise made by that group of people.
Liu Chengxiong looked at Master Gu and said, "This general has something to do. Master Gu, please go back first."
There was no way that Prince Gu was willing to leave just like that. He had been to Qianmen Fort several times, but had gained nothing each time. Now that he had finally encountered something, he would of course take the opportunity to test the depth of Qianmen Fort.
Jin Fan said that Liu Chengxiong's term of 500 years is about to end. Once his term is up, without the protection of Qianmen Fort's merits, Liu Chengxiong's spirit will dissipate. At that time, Qianmen Fort will be ownerless, and the Xin Guo Mansion will have the opportunity to take over Qianmen Fort.
In order for the Xin Guo Mansion to take over Qianmen Fort more smoothly in the future, he had to understand the situation of Qianmen Fort in advance.
"General Liu, I and the few followers I brought with me are quite capable. If you don't mind, we are willing to obey your orders."
Liu Chengxiong looked at Master Gu, and thought of the Infant Realm cultivator hiding in the dark. He pondered for a moment and did not refuse: "Follow me closely, General. Don't wander around."
When Deputy General Wan Kun saw Liu Chengxiong leading Master Gu and others into Qianmen Fort and wanted to take them to the center of the formation, he disagreed in his heart.
The Demon-Suppressing Guards are guarding the center of the formation and no one is allowed to enter. Why did the general personally bring outsiders there?
But as a deputy general, he had no right to interfere and could only hurry up and secretly be on guard against Master Gu and his men to prevent them from causing trouble.
At the same time, at the center of the formation, after the military formation was activated, Baili Changfeng and Master Lu also saw the seven monks fleeing in a panic from the stone terracotta warriors.
Baili Changfeng thought that it was Master Lu who arranged seven people to sneak into the army while they were fighting, and snorted coldly.
Master Lu ignored them and looked at the seven people with a gloomy expression: "When did you break the puppet curse?"
The seven people saw that their plan was exposed, so they stopped pretending. The young man in the lead, who looked a little feminine, smiled and said, "Although the puppet spell you attached to the ghost market token is invisible, it can't be hidden from everyone."
Master Lu frowned after hearing this: "So, you were not cursed by the puppet from the beginning?"
The feminine man raised his chin: "Of course."
Master Lu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who are you?"
The feminine man smiled and said, "Guess?"
Master Lu cursed directly: "My guess is bullshit."
The feminine man listened and laughed: "Don't be angry, have you forgotten that we are on the same side." Then he glanced at Baili Changfeng and the other two.
"We can help you get rid of these three people and the scoundrel hiding in the dark."
After hearing this, Master Lu's expression changed and he quickly looked around: "Is there someone in the dark?"
The feminine man looked at the activated military formation with an unpleasant expression and snorted, "If it weren't for that sneak attack from the dark, how could the military formation be activated?"
Upon hearing this, the people on Master Lu's side, as well as Master Baili Changfeng and his apprentice, all became alert.
The feminine man saw this and shouted into the air, "Why don't you show yourself, fellow Taoist?"
No one responded.
After waiting for a while, Master Lu began to wonder if there was anyone in the dark. He looked at the feminine man and asked, "Are you here for the divine hammer too?"
The feminine man shook his head and smiled, "You and I will cooperate, the hammer will be yours, we just need to get to the center of the formation."
Hearing this, Master Lu fell silent, while Baili Changfeng at the side spoke in a deep voice: "Are you from the demon tribe?"
The feminine man glanced at him and said nothing.
Seeing that he agreed, Baili Changfeng's expression changed drastically. He looked at Master Lu and said, "Lu Yan, you are really amazing. You personally brought the demon tribe to destroy the center of the formation."
Master Lu snorted coldly, "Bai Li Chang Feng, stop accusing me of something bad. If you say they are from the demon tribe, then they are."
Baili Changfeng: "Only when the demons come to the center of the formation will they not want the divine hammer, because they have only one goal, which is to destroy the formation of the Demon Prison!"
The feminine man ignored Baili Changfeng and looked at Master Lu: "How about it, do you want to cooperate? Let's get rid of these three people first. As for the villain hiding in the dark, as long as we join forces, he won't dare to show up."
Seeing Master Lu's hesitation, the feminine man continued to tempt him, "You must know that if you let the three of them leave alive, they will probably spread the accusation that you are colluding with the demon tribe."
Master Lu looked at the feminine man and said, "So, you are really a demon race?"
The feminine man shook his head: "Of course not, we are just followers of the demon god."
In the corner of the stone terracotta warriors, Hua Changxi's expression changed when she heard this answer. She thought of Aniu. If she hadn't stopped him, Aniu would probably have been influenced by the sound of the wooden fish by the white-robed monk and become such a person.
Baili Changfeng saw that Master Lu was actually tempted, and shouted, "Lu Yan, you don't really want to collude with the demon clan, do you?"
Master Lu looked at Baili Changfeng coldly: "I didn't do anything, but you put such a big hat on me. How can I not do what you want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely attacked Baili Changfeng.
Baili Changfeng was shocked and asked, "Are you crazy?"
Watching the two men fighting, the feminine man curled his lips and led the other six people to attack the two young men and women brought by Baili Changfeng.
With the addition of seven people, Baili Changfeng and his two companions were quickly defeated.
In the dark, Hua Changxi was hesitating whether to rescue the three people when he felt the ground shaking. Then, he saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance.
"Oh no! It's the demon-suppressing guards from Qianmen Fort!"
