Without waiting for them to react, the branches directly penetrated their bodies, and then they were hung high on the canopy of the tree.
"mother!"
The two children were so frightened that they burst into tears. This cry immediately attracted the attention of the tree demon.
Two more branches stretched out, and the cries of the two children stopped abruptly.
The four people were hung high in the canopy of the tree and swayed in the wind. The scene looked extremely scary.
Not only that, the skin on the four people was aging rapidly, and their bodies were visibly shriveled up. After just a few breaths, four corpses with only skin and bones fell from the canopy of the tree.
A few fresh leaves actually grew on the ancient tree, but these leaves were slightly red, as if there was blood flowing inside.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake and tremble. The earth was churning, houses collapsed, and thick tree roots rose up from the ground, rolling towards the villagers in the village.
Soon, none of the ninety-nine households in Yanluo Village survived, and at the same time there was not a drop of blood, and they all turned into mummies.
And hundreds of fresh leaves have grown on the ancient tree.
"Hahaha, starting from today, I, Yan Dongqing, will kill all humans, and the entire world will be under my control."
A low and somewhat unclear voice echoed in the valley.
Then, the entire huge ancient tree was seen shrinking into the ground and disappearing, leaving only a huge deep pit, proving that all of this had really existed.
In the days that followed, villages were destroyed every once in a while. The scene was exactly the same as that of Yama Village, but the officials from various places found no clues after investigation.
This also caused the matter to quickly spread to the imperial city.
Beizhou!
Imperial City!
This is the core area of the entire continent and the center of the entire continent.
This majestic and magnificent imperial city is synonymous with prosperity and splendor, and its sheer scale is breathtaking.
The city wall towers into the clouds, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, guarding the dignity and glory of this imperial city.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you will be surrounded by endless busyness and excitement. The streets are wide and busy, with people coming and going and cars and horses noisy.
Towering palaces and temples dot every corner of the city, demonstrating the nobility and solemnity of the imperial city. The ornate palaces and gardens are intoxicating, and the delicate carvings and spectacular architecture are stunning.
The imperial palace in the center of the imperial city is even more magnificent and resplendent, like a fairyland in the sky.
On the first seat of the palace, on a huge chair carved from warm jade, an imposing middle-aged man was sitting firmly at the head.
He is the current emperor Zhuge Hou. He glanced at the ministers below. Zhuge Hou said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the incident in Nanzhou has made people panic in recent days. If it continues this time, it may disturb the people's hearts."
"What do you think about this?"
After hearing his question, someone finally stood up and bowed respectfully before saying, "Reporting to your Majesty, this matter is particularly strange and strange."
"Official governments from all over Nanzhou have sent a large number of manpower to investigate, but found nothing. In my opinion, this does not seem to be the work of humans."
"So, I dare to ask the emperor to send Master Xuanhuang to find out the truth."
After hearing this, Zhuge Hou slowly looked around at the others and asked:
"Do you have any other suggestions?"
At this time, another person stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that none of us have seen Master Xuanhuang's methods. They are like legends to us."
"But this matter is really weird. Why don't we invite Master Xuanhuang to the court and listen to what he means and then we will know."
Hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.
Although they all knew that there was a big shot in the palace called Master Xuanhuang, no one had ever seen him take action.
Moreover, this person has a very high status, and even the emperor must treat him with courtesy.
Now when encountering such a thing, firstly, you can listen to Master Xuanhuang's opinions, and secondly, you can also see his methods.
When Zhuge Hou heard this, he also agreed deeply in his heart, but this Master Xuanhuang was a figure that even the Supreme Emperor respected very much.
Even if I lower myself to invite someone, I'm afraid it still depends on the other person's mood.
While hesitating, he heard a loud voice:
"Monsters are causing harm to the world, and as Master Xuanhuang, it is naturally my duty to do so."
When everyone heard this voice, they all stood up and faced the door and bowed their heads slightly, showing respect to him no less than to Zhuge Hou.
As he finished speaking, a bald monk walked into the hall holding a Zen staff and clasping his hands together.
"Amitabha!"
The monk nodded slightly to Zhuge Hou with a kind smile.
Zhuge Hou also immediately put on a flattering smile and extended his hand to signal: "Master Fang, there is no need to be polite!"
This Master Fang's name is Fang Huayuan, and he is the chief disciple of the Tianyuan Sect, a famous Buddhist sect in the Xuanhuang world.
Although he looks young and only in his thirties, in fact Fang Beoyuan has been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years and is now a seventh-grade earth-level demon subduing master.
Fang Huayuan raised his head and looked at Zhuge Hou with no fear in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ordinary person.
"Fang came here uninvited just because of Nanzhou matters."
"Master has told me about this a few days ago. That thing is a collection of demons and ghosts. The ghost was Master Xuanhuang when he was alive, so it is extremely difficult to deal with."
"Coupled with the fact that he has killed so many people now, I am afraid that his strength has greatly improved. If this thing cannot be eradicated as soon as possible, lives will be destroyed in the future."
After hearing this, Zhuge Hou was not calm anymore.
"Master Fang, is this really that serious?"
The smile on Fang Huanyuan's face had long since disappeared, and his face was extremely heavy. "The matter is far more serious than you think. My master has summoned all his disciples and invited Xuanhuang masters from all over the world to help, and we must eradicate it in one fell swoop."
"If I hadn't been setting up formations here these days, I would have left long ago."
"Set up a formation?"
Zhuge Hou was a little confused when he heard this.
However, Fang Huanyuan suddenly pushed the Zen stick in his hand to the ground. The Zen stick stood upright on the ground and started to spin at a very fast speed.
When Fang alms, he puts his hands together and chants a mantra:
"Qianzun Yaoling, Kunshun inner camp!"
"Two rituals must be harmonious and harmonious, and they must be harmonious and beneficial!"
"The heaven and the earth are matched, and Yongning is purified!"
"You should feel Xuanhuang, wear your top and bottom!"
"Zhen Li Kandui, Yi Zan supports the general!"
"The universe is Gen Xun, the tiger is subduing the dragon and soaring!"
"We're going to prepare today, and the beautiful lady will be with you!"
"When there is an emergency, I will always help you!"
"Those who pursue me will die, and those who capture me will perish!"
"The Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl turned into rivers and rivers!"
After the words fell, Fang Huanyuan suddenly slapped his palm to the ground.
Suddenly the entire palace shook, and rumbling sounds continued to be heard, as if it was about to collapse.
All the ministers, including Zhuge Hou, were extremely shocked by this scene. If it weren't for the fact that this was in the palace hall, some of them might have run away long ago.
At the same time, a golden light spread out from Fang Huoyuan's palm and rushed in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a pale golden light mask visible to the naked eye slowly appeared, covering the entire palace.
After everything was done, Fang Huanyuan looked a little pale, and beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead.
