Waiting to return to Ansha City.
What made Lu Zhong breathe a sigh of relief was that the place was still calm.
However, beneath the surface calm.
It's a turbulent whirlpool.
He could feel the undercurrent surging beneath the Ansha City.
This means that the Shadow Familiars have already invaded this place. At this moment, no one knows how many spies have been mixed into the city. Moreover, according to the ability of the Shadow Familiars, they may be transforming others and constantly expanding their own numbers.
If no one notices, it will spread virally.
According to this situation, Ansha City will definitely fall.
When he thought of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but speed up.
Beiyun Military Mansion.
There were already dark clouds hanging over the place, and there was a sense of panic.
The current situation in the city cannot be hidden from smart people.
Soon, Lu Zhong met Yun Nu, the leader of Beiyun Army.
"You came."
Yun Nu stood in front of the desk, raised his head and looked away from the sand table, and said in a gentle voice:
"What, you came to see me for something?"
Lu Zhong could feel the fatigue in her voice. To be able to cause a fusion monk to appear in such a state showed that this was no small matter. It seems that if you are not careful, Beiyun Army will really be eliminated from this world.
Then, he told what he saw and heard, as well as the abilities of the Shadow Familiar.
"It seems that the matter is more difficult than I thought." Yunnu frowned, especially after hearing the following, her expression changed slightly. This was information that she had not known before, and it was related to the survival of the Beiyun Army.
Yun Nu's eyes fell on the sand table, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"No, the deployment needs to be adjusted!"
"Here, and here, and... everything needs to be adjusted."
The previous plan was almost completely overthrown.
After some deductions, she finally decided on a new plan.
After doing this, Yunnu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed smile: "This time, it is thanks to my Marching Sima. If it weren't for the new information you provided, I'm afraid there would be a big mess this time."
What she said was not nonsense.
As a monk in the integration stage, Yunnu has seen the destructive power of the Shadow Familiar, especially when there is no defense, it is an almost devastating disaster.
But if you know it in advance, the situation is completely different.
Immortal cultivators have too many ways to target or resolve them.
"All in all, it's all thanks to you this time!"
"This is Sima's duty. There is no need for the military leader to praise him so ridiculously!" Lu Zhong looked modest.
Seeing that the information could help, he felt relieved.
Having been together day and night for decades, if the Beiyun Army suffered a large number of casualties due to the Dark Shadow Familia, it would be impossible to say that my emotions would not be affected.
It will leave some mark after all.
"If I remember correctly, the centenary period is approaching."
Thinking of this, Yun Nu looked regretful. Thinking that in another fourteen years, this marching commander would leave, he couldn't help but try to stay with Lu Zhong again.
"Can't you stay? If you are short of resources, although I don't have much here, I can still satisfy your cultivation. At least until you complete the practice, there will be absolutely no problem."
"I'm sorry, but I obey!" Lu Zhong still declined politely.
In fact, Yun Nu had wanted to stay with him more than once.
But every time, Lu Zhong chose to refuse.
In the past eighty-six years, in the process of fighting against all evils, he had accumulated a lot of Tianyuan, and there was no longer any need to keep it. As for spiritual stones, the gap is filled through the production of Shanhe Cave.
The Beiyun Army was not even remotely attractive to Lu Zhong.
"Well, I wish you good luck in your journey!"
Yun Nu shook his head, his mood quickly calmed down, and he said calmly: "Now that the shadows have penetrated, looking at the entire Beiyun Army, I think the only person around me besides Su Xin that I can trust is you."
"Now, I have something important here that I want to leave to you to complete."
"Whether the Beiyun Army can survive this time, I'm afraid it all depends on you!"
"Military Lord, please do whatever you tell me!"
Lu Zhong clasped his fists and responded calmly.
Immediately, Yunnu picked up the white jade pen on the table and wrote a large handwriting.
"This is a list. I want you to get rid of them for me. Now that the shadows have penetrated, these people have become unstable factors. If we don't find a way to solve it, the Beiyun Army will have no chance of winning."
Lu Zhong took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be moved.
I saw that the people listed above, the nearly thirty people at the beginning of the list, were all marked as Shadow Familiar. This shows that Lord Beiyun is indeed worthy of his reputation. Even if Shadow's actions are secretive, he cannot hide them from her eyes.
Continuing to look down, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Next came hundreds of people, all of whom were monks in important positions in the Beiyun Army.
A considerable number of people are important nodes in the operation of the military. Once it is removed, the Beiyun Army will not only be paralyzed, but will at least be stagnant for a long time.
Take matters into your own hands.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but think to himself, this Beiyun military leader is really a ruthless person.
But that seems pretty good.
When he thought of this, his facial expression did not change, but he laughed secretly in his heart.
Sensing the change in Lu Zhong's expression, Yun Nu sighed.
"Originally, this matter should be carried out by me, and should not be done by others... What if this is the case? It should be regarded as a transaction between you and me. As long as you can complete this task, the remaining time will be written off. .”
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's expression changed.
He naturally knew the consequences of killing these people. In the absence of conclusive evidence, the reputation of betraying his comrades is secondary, and more importantly, the possibility of killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But if they don't take action, the Beiyun Army will definitely be defeated.
At that time, once attracted by these spies, even the monks in the integration stage will have difficulty in recovering.
"Fortunately, I have gray fog space."
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he already paid attention in his heart.
On the other side, seeing that Lu Zhong was hesitant to make a decision, Yun Nu spoke again: "In my name, Yun Nu, I can guarantee that after this battle is over, I will definitely return justice to fellow Taoist Jinguang."
"Okay, it's settled." Lu Zhong responded.
Seeing that he agreed, Yun Nu also breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, there seemed to be an additional layer of estrangement between the two, and the harmonious relationship they had before was no longer there.
"Fellow Daoist Jinguang, to be honest, I suddenly want to know how you evaluate me now?" Yun Nu smiled bitterly at this time and looked at Lu Zhong with burning eyes, trying to find the answer.
"The evaluation is not fair. The military leader only acted to protect the Beiyun Army. There is no right or wrong."
Decades ago, after Lu Zhong joined the Beiyun Army, in addition to his daily battle training, he also secretly sent an avatar to quietly investigate this weak woman-like Fusion Stage monk.
The result was surprising. The rise of the Beiyun military leader in front of him turned out to be a legendary story.
If it weren't for the scene to trace back the history that was deliberately concealed, how could Lu Zhong know that the word "slave" in Yunnu came from her past experience as a slave.
The slave fulfills the master's wish and spends his life only to protect the Beiyun Army.
At first glance, it sounds ridiculous.
But unfortunately, this is the truth.
Time flies by tens of thousands of years.
With this obsession, Yun Nu actually grew up step by step until he reached the integration stage.
Yun Nu just smiled slightly at Lu Zhong's answer.
"It has been tens of thousands of years. Although I have been looking forward to it for a long time, this is the first time I have heard this answer, but this is what I want! Thank you, my Marching Sima."
Lu Zhong didn't say anything more, just said goodbye.
Stepping out of the palace door, Lu Zhong felt relaxed at the moment. He looked back at the people in the palace, who also nodded slightly and cast encouraging eyes before striding forward.
Not long after I walked out, a kind monk came towards me.
"Chen Sima, I got a rare treasure yesterday, can you reward me with one tonight..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a flash of lightning.
In an instant, the body and head were separated.
Yi Yuanying fled in panic, with a face full of disbelief, but did not argue at all, as if everything should be as it should be. Turn around and run away. But it was only then that he realized that the surrounding space had already been imprisoned.
Lu Zhong held the Qingming Forbidden Bottle in one hand and the lightning rod in the other, approaching Yuanying quickly.
His men were merciless and cut him into powder with one sword.
It was only then that the people around him finally reacted.
"Chen Sima, you, what are you?"
Some people couldn't believe that Lu Zhong would take action for no reason, so they looked surprised.
"Just doing what's necessary."
Lu Zhong replied lightly. With the help of the gray fog space to backtrack, he confirmed that the Kong Muguan in front of him was not the target. He only shot a thunderbolt and knocked him out. That was it.
Then he pointed his sword at the others, sixteen in total.
"You all must die!"
Just like a trial, with a burst of lightning, all targets were killed.
After killing so many people at once, Lu Zhong's expression did not change at all.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he changed his vision to the perspective of the soul, "Sure enough, these people I killed all have one thing in common."
After the soul of the killed person dissipates, a shadow will erupt, twisting for a while before dissipating unwillingly.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the way Shadow controls them.
It's weird and weird, and very understandable.
Lu Zhong turned over his hand and took out the list, crossed out the name of the person who had just been solved, and then looked at the long remaining part, and couldn't help but sigh.
If we go by the proportion just now, I'm afraid most of the people here will die.
But there is nothing we can do.
With Yunnu's attitude towards Beiyun Army, he regarded it as a treasure.
If there really was a way to rescue her, she wouldn't have been able to draw up this list.
"The reason why you made a deal with me is probably not that simple. I'm afraid there is another reason, that is, you don't want to deal with these monks who were trained by her, right?"
Lu Zhong guessed secretly.
Immediately afterwards, there was suddenly a violent spiritual energy fluctuation.
The great light curtain of Ansha City rose, completely blocking the inside and outside of the city. At this time, the only people who could still enter and leave Ansha City were a few members of the Beiyun Army.
It was obvious that Yun Nu was secretly helping.
Lu Zhong took a deep breath and continued walking towards the outside of the house.
The spiritual consciousness expanded in a mighty manner, covering an area of tens of thousands of feet in an instant. With the support of the powerful soul, every ray of anger was analyzed and compared.
Whenever he encounters a target, he will rush over and kill him with one sword.
With his current strength, as long as his strength is not within the scope of the Void Refining Stage, there is only one way to die.
As for the innocent people, they were all beaten unconscious.
Just like that, just go and kill all the way.
Unconsciously, more and more names were crossed out.
At this time, the evil family members who secretly sneaked into the city finally realized that something was wrong, and suddenly understood that someone was hunting them. Moreover, the methods are cruel and ruthless, partial and extremely precise.
Fear enveloped their hearts.
"Damn, how--it must be that woman!"
"Army Master Beiyun is well-deserved!"
"We're all exposed!"
After some brainstorming, they came up with the wrong answer. But in the eyes of outsiders, this is already extremely correct. After all, no one would have thought that Lu Zhong, who took action, would still have Gray Mist Dimension to help him.
"Boom!"
As if an agreement had been made, the city immediately burst into flames, and all the evil spies attacked.
The monks of the Beiyun Army took action immediately, but due to the interference of thoughtful people, they either went in the wrong direction, or suffered heavy losses because they received wrong information and faced an enemy that was inconsistent with their strength.
No matter how hard you try, you can't hit one spot.
Suddenly, Ansha City was in chaos.
"The penetration of shadows cannot be underestimated!"
Lu Zhong was also surprised when he saw this scene.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flew out of the military mansion. It was undoubtedly Yun Nu, the leader of Beiyun Army. She rushed out of the city at high speed. And just in the opposite direction, there were also two escaping lights attacking.
All this was obviously premeditated.
As long as there is chaos in the city, the beings in the combined stage of evil will respond and attack Ansha City from both inside and outside.
If Ansha City is destroyed, without the support of this key node, the immortal cultivators in Beiyun Territory will fall apart and fall into a situation where they are fighting on their own.
What awaits the Beiyun Army after that is to be overwhelmed by all the evil armies.
"With Sima's salary, what do I care about the military leader?"
Lu Zhong shook his head and continued to search for the target in the city. In the face of the overwhelming strength, the target had no power to fight back and was completely wiped out in almost a single encounter.
Such a situation will be noticed by evil parties.
This was something they didn't expect.
"Chen Sima, your crime cannot be forgiven!"
Some people glared at each other.
"If you don't stop quickly, you're killing all of your colleagues!"
Some people are heartbroken.
"Let, let me go!"
Some people said that the young and old at home were begging for help.
The disturbing words came one after another as expected.
Lu Zhong seemed unaware and continued to eliminate the target persons, missing no one.
To be honest, this is the current situation.
Even though he had the gray fog space, he could be sure that none of the people he killed were innocent.
My mood still couldn't help but waver.
There is no way, humans are not like vegetation.
Even if your cultivation is as high as the realm of refining the void, as long as you are not cultivating to the extreme and forgetting your emotions, your state of mind will inevitably fluctuate.
But despite this, Lu Zhong's movements did not slow down at all, because he knew better that if the turmoil could be resolved early, more monks in the Beiyun Army would survive.
Having worked with them for many years, I can naturally save more people if I can.
"Uh-huh!"
Another person was beheaded.
Gradually, Lu Zhong suddenly discovered that his mood had changed. Compared to his usual calm mind, there was something obviously different at this moment.
"The heart is like a mirror, spotless?"
He didn't expect that there would be such a change.
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
From now on, as long as his Taoist heart is not covered in dust, the inner demons will be unable to do anything to him.
Your cultivation will benefit from this and start to improve by leaps and bounds.
