As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Xie Junjie.
Everyone lamented how "bold" her idea was, and how she didn't even care about her reputation. Then they focused their attention on Yan Hongyu, wanting to see what she really thought.
Yan Hongyu heard the words but did not speak immediately, her face showed no color, and her thoughts were unpredictable.
"Senior Sister Yan, I think it is very inappropriate to kill all the mortals in Tianyong City indiscriminately."
"After all, we are not a demonic sect. If we do this, it may affect the sect's reputation if word spreads!"
"In my junior sister's opinion, I can control the mortal government, and with the power of the government, I can select all the mortals who have nothing to do with the Huang family."
A female monk with an ordinary appearance, plain and elegant clothes, and a slightly round face. She is also in the early stage of foundation building. She is usually taciturn and has a very low sense of presence.
But after hearing Xie Junjie's words, he seemed to be moved by compassion, so he spoke for innocent mortals.
"Yes, I don't think it's appropriate to burn the city directly."
"This is a special period. If a hostile sect finds out about this news, it is likely to be widely publicized in Chu State, and the sect will be placed in a disadvantageous position by making accusations from the moral high ground."
"If this really causes damage to the sect's reputation, I'm afraid we will be responsible for it."
Another person expressed his opinion and stood up.
Then the eight foundation-building monks here started a heated discussion, and everyone had different opinions.
Liu Yu still remained silent, and he was slightly partial to Xie Junjie on this issue.
There is no other reason than this, because it saves a lot of time.
And he might also be able to take the opportunity to harvest a batch of fuel.
But according to his observation, Yan Hongyu seemed to be a little disgusted with directly killing all mortals, so Liu Yu had to change some methods.
He couldn't arouse the woman's resentment. After all, he decided to maintain a good relationship with the Yan family, and Yan Hongyu's opinion was still very important.
The discussion between the eight people lasted for about half a quarter of an hour. Everyone had their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.
But generally speaking, the majority are those who do not kill innocent mortals.
"enough."
Yan Hongyu suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's discussion.
"I think it's better to distinguish the mortals with other surnames who are not related by blood, and then seal the Huang family's mortals in the city for processing. Although it will take a little longer, it will not leave any obvious reasons for others to talk about it."
"Senior Brother Li, what do you think?"
Seeing that those who disapproved of indiscriminate killing accounted for the majority, Yan Hongyu terminated the discussion and made the final decision.
However, she still asked Li BuTong. After all, he was also one of the captains and was much stronger than herself.
"Li has no objection, just do as Junior Sister Yan says."
Li BuTong rarely expresses opinions, but when he saw everyone's eyes turned over, he still spoke.
Seeing that the two captains have reached an agreement, the matter has basically become a conclusion.
Xie Junjie's face visibly fell, and he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
He may have felt that he had lost face, so he just said that and walked away, returning directly to the cabin. It seemed that he was not in a good mood.
Those who wanted to massacre the city directly had no choice but to cease their activities.
Including Liu Yu, they had no choice but to suppress this idea for the time being.
Even the idea of using mortals to cultivate demonic fire has been mostly extinguished. From this incident, it can be seen that everyone is disgusted with killing mortals indiscriminately.
It is taboo to use a large number of mortals to practice magic skills. Qingyang Demon Fire is an out-and-out "devil fire" and can easily be misunderstood. This time, if you use the mission to practice magic fire, everyone will talk about it. Probably won't say anything.
But he must be extremely disgusted in his heart and will consciously alienate himself. If he returns to the sect and spreads the word, it will damage his reputation and be extremely detrimental to his future development.
After all, Liu Yu still plans to practice in the sect and currently has no thoughts of leaving Yuanyang Sect.
"Since all the junior brothers and sisters have no objections, then let's just deal with it like this!"
"Anyway, it's only a delay of ten days and a half. It's over with a snap of the fingers."
After a while, no one had any different opinions. Yan Hongyu nodded and said with a smile.
Her lips moved slightly when she finished speaking, but no sound came out. It was obviously a message from her spiritual consciousness, informing someone.
After a while, the city guard commander Yue Liang ran over, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully:
"I don't know what the uncle has to do when he calls his disciples here?"
"As long as it is something ordered by my uncle, the disciple will not hesitate to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. I will definitely try my best to complete it!"
Yue Liang flattered him stiffly, completely lacking the majestic image he had in front of ordinary city guards and casual cultivators.
There was no way, even though he had some background, any foundation-building monk could kill him, let alone the one in front of him.
"Do you understand the orders of the Presbyterian Council?"
Yan Hongyu said lightly.
"Disciple understands."
Yue Liang nodded hesitantly, wondering what the uncle's intention was when he asked.
"Although the Presbyterian Church requires us to exterminate the entire Huang family, God has good intentions, and those mortals with foreign surnames who have nothing to do with the Huang family are innocent."
"There are two kinds of mortals who should be killed and those who should not be killed in Tianyong City. I order you to lead the city guards to seal the city gate and screen out the mortals who have nothing to do with the Huang family."
"You can control the government affairs in this city, but you only have half a month. During this half month, you must try to move innocent people out."
"Do you understand?"
Yan Hongyu's face was calm and she gave condescending instructions without any intention of being "courteous to the virtuous corporal".
"Master Uncle Yan is kind and my disciple understands that he must do what he says!"
Yue Liang respectfully accepted the order.
"Take these Blood Spirit Pearls. They have been specially refined and have been dripped with the essence and blood of the direct descendants of the Huang family. Anyone within three feet of the Huang family will react. It can be used as a means of identification."
"Since you have no doubts, just go down and do the work."
Yan Hongyu touched the storage bag and took out five or six longan-sized, dark red crystal beads.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson ball flew out from his palm and floated slowly to Yue Liang's body.
"In compliance with Master Yan's orders, this disciple must resign!"
Yue Liang accepted the order, grabbed a few Blood Spirit Pearls in front of him, stepped back for a distance, then turned and walked towards the city guards.
When he came to the city guards on the deck, he changed his attitude of nodding and bowing, his face straightened, he took on the airs of his commander, and began to give "august" lectures.
Liu Yu noticed the scene of the Blood Lingzhu and also heard the conversation between Yan Hongyu and Yue Liang.
He was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Yan Hongyu had even prepared such a magical weapon.
Is this a coincidence? Or vision?
Liu Yu preferred the latter. Yan Hongyu didn't seem to be a short-sighted person. She should have anticipated the current situation, so she made corresponding preparations.
Then he noticed the change in Yue Liang's attitude. The corners of his mouth moved and he felt dumbfounded, but Liu Yu soon stopped laughing.
Isn't it true that I am so arrogant and respectful when facing the Golden Core cultivator?
Yue Liang's lecture did not last long. After he was satisfied, he left Guiyuanzhou with sixty-four city guards, and each controlled their magical weapons and flew towards Tianyong City below.
The more than sixty rays of escaping light are not conspicuous in the blue sky and daylight. There is only a faint spiritual light that is undetectable, just like shooting stars in the day.
What it brings is not an opportunity to make a wish, but rather uncertainty and death.
After the city guards left, the Guiyuan boat rumbled around and flew towards a high mountain not far away, finding a relatively flat top and landing slowly.
This mountain is dozens of feet higher than Tianyong City, and the cliff is extremely steep. It is almost impossible to climb in the eyes of ordinary mortals, but it is nothing to the immortal cultivators.
Standing on the top of the mountain here, with the eyes of an immortal cultivator, you can just overlook Tianyong City.
In fact, the next thing does not require too much intervention from foundation-building monks like Liu Yu.
In front of the city guards who have offensive magic weapons, defensive magic weapons, a minimum cultivation level of seven levels of Qi refining, and a tacit understanding of cooperation to form an organic city guard, although two hundred thousand mortals are many, it is just a matter of quantity, and it does not cost money to deal with it. for how long.
The main time-consuming process is the process of screening out mortals who are not related to the Huang family.
However, there is no requirement to be foolproof. As long as the Huang family members are not let go and most of the remaining mortals are screened out, it is not a big problem to kill a small number by mistake.
I believe Yue Liang understands that the patience of his masters and uncles is limited, and he will have no good fruits beyond this time.
This matter is actually not difficult to do, as long as the four city gates are sealed, the city lord of Tianyong City is controlled, and some means are used to make him obedient.
Use your absolute strength to force the sound system of Tianyong City to work for you. This way, it will be much easier to get things done.
They had to stay in Tianyong City for half a month. None of the foundation-building monks appreciated the Feng family's interest. They all entered the cabin and found a room to busy themselves with their own affairs, such as counting the harvest.
The elder of the Huang family's alchemy hall died in Xie Junjie's hands, so the Huang family's alchemy inheritance would probably also fall into his hands.
Liu Yu originally wanted to exchange the alchemy inheritance with Xie Junjie at this time, but considering what had just happened, he might be in a very bad mood. It would be inappropriate to do things at this time, and it might have the opposite effect.
After a second thought, he decided to take it easy for the time being and say goodbye to Xie Junjie when he returned.
Liu Yu exchanged a few polite words with the remaining companions on the deck, then said hello and entered the cabin, found the room from which he came and moved in.
After closing the door, Liu Yu took out a set of "Xuanling Array" and placed it in the room, covering the entire room.
Xuanling Formation, a second-level low-grade defensive formation, can withstand one or two blows from monks below the late stage of foundation establishment. Even a full blow from a late-stage foundation establishment monk can be resisted once, giving the owner of the formation valuable reaction time.
This formation was bought by Liu Yu in Wangyue City for 1,400 spirit stones after the last mission in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The price was not too expensive or even a bit cheap.
Because it has a big shortcoming, that is, it can only absorb the movement of spiritual energy in spiritual stones, and cannot absorb spiritual veins or natural spiritual energy replenishment and consumption on its own.
Although this array has major flaws, it is not a problem for a monk like Liu Yu who is not short of money, so he decisively bought it.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, ready to check the harvest of this trip.
He gently closed his eyes, and his mind touched the green light spot in Niwan Palace. A feeling of spinning came, and the prototype of the soul had disappeared into the physical body.
After what seemed like an instant, and what seemed like a long time, the red light group representing Liu Yu Yuanshen appeared in the world of Immortal Mansion, and he regained consciousness.
With a thought in her mind, Liu Yu quickly floated towards the black spiritual field. Next to the spiritual field lay eleven jade boxes of various sizes, which were the requiem grass and ten foundation-building spiritual grasses.
With excitement, he opened one of the jade boxes, revealing a strange-looking, dark spiritual grass.
This spiritual grass was three inches in size and exuded a fragrance like an orchid. When Liu Yu heard it, he felt that the exhaustion of Yuan Shen entering and exiting the Immortal Mansion was relieved a lot.
It's Requiem Grass!
Without hesitation, he picked up the requiem grass in the jade box, used the power of his soul to dig a small hole in the black spiritual field, and carefully planted the requiem grass.
He also took out two middle-grade spiritual stones and placed them on it to replenish his spiritual energy consumption, and for the first time, he poured a ladle of it from a mottled ancient well onto it, which shows how much he attaches importance to it.
You must know that other spiritual grasses did not have this treatment in the past, because as long as they are planted in the black spiritual field, they will grow quickly even without watering, so Liu Yu naturally saves trouble when he can.
But the importance of the Requiem Grass is different. It can speed up the cultivation of the divine magic. After the spiritual consciousness is improved, various secret techniques will be greatly strengthened. By then, one's own strength will be greatly improved, shortening the gap with the top monks in the foundation building period.
Thinking further, the improvement of spiritual consciousness and soul can also slightly affect the probability of condensing pills, so the importance of things that can improve soul is self-evident.
Requiem Grass is one of the biggest rewards of this trip. It can be encountered but cannot be obtained. It is as important as the inheritance of alchemy.
After planting ten foundation-building spiritual grasses in the black spiritual field, Liu Yu left the world of Immortal Mansion with a thought.
The current environment is not very safe. He is not worried about the soul leaving the physical body for a long time. It will not be too late to return to Wangyue City to count the other harvests.
It's not that he was on guard against his fellow disciples, but that Liu Yu didn't trust anyone and would never give his back to other monks or give other monks the chance to hurt him.
Only the surging mana in the body and the powerful magic weapon in the hand can bring a sense of security.
Liu Yu took out the Qingyang Kung Fu, the Mystical Technique of Preserving Spirits, and the Hidden Spirit Technique and began to understand them. Occasionally, he would read the experience of spiritual herbs.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the night after half a month was the sixteenth night when Liu Yu and his party came to Tianyong City to perform their mission.
Suddenly, Liu Yu, who was meditating on the Qingyang Kung, had a look on his face. He felt that the environment seemed to have changed. Specifically, the air became hotter and drier.
"Could it be..."
Calculating the time, it was almost time. Thinking of this, Liu Yu opened the Xuanling Array, walked out of the room and walked towards the deck.
There were already four or five people on the deck at this time, and Yan Hongyu and Li Buotong were among them.
Liu Yu came to the front of the deck. Before he could say hello to his colleagues, he was attracted by the huge movement and couldn't help but look down in the direction of Tianyong City.
What caught the eye was a sky-high fire. The fire had spread to the entire Tianyong City and was burning fiercely.
The firelight illuminated the surroundings of the city as bright as day, and was as eye-catching as the only torch in the dark night, but it did not bring hope.
In every minute and every second of intense burning, life is passing away.
As the buildings in the city collapsed one after another, little sparks were blown into the sky, floating far and wide before extinguishing. They were as beautiful as fireflies, and like fragile life releasing its last light and heat.
I don’t know when it started, but a smell began to fill the air.
At first, the smell is like the aroma of roasted whole lamb, which whets your appetite and makes your mouth water. After a while, there is a faint burnt smell, just like the smell of over-burned barbecue. , and finally there was no smell at all, as if the barbecue had been completely burnt to charcoal.
With the eyesight of a foundation-building immortal cultivator, standing at this angle, one can barely see the situation in the city.
There was a group of black figures with red flames burning all over their bodies. They wailed, swayed, struggled and slowly fell down. Finally, they lay on the ground and were swallowed by the flames, never moving again.
There were many black shadows like this. When the first one fell to the ground, it was like a chemical reaction. The number of fallen shadows began to increase gradually, and more and more fell as time went by.
Liu Yu's dark pupils reflected the light of the sky, and this was what he saw.
