At this time, all the guards on the scene, including those from the allied forces who had just surrendered, had not yet recovered from the shock.
Most of the millions of soldiers and civilians in Yongcheng were staring blankly at the trail clouds left by the flight of immortal cultivators in the sky, and their hearts were still in an inexplicable state of shock.
Emperor Shunlong turned out to be an immortal who came to the world, and he also attracted a group of demons to attack him!
The thunder method, golden light spell, and flying swords that Li Yun used just now were majestic and majestic, and they were obviously real immortal methods.
Whether it was the swarms of insects, the weird blood spirits, or the corpses that controlled the Dongfang Palace, what Yue Han and others released were all very strange, and they were obviously heresy, not the right way.
As soon as Ji Yunpeng's words came into their ears, many people felt a sense of enlightenment.
It's just that all these changes have been too sudden, and many people have not completely changed their mentality.
It was obviously a matter of supporting a sage monarch to conquer the world, but why did it turn into a battle between immortals and demons?
Seeing that most of the people didn't react at this time, Ji Yunpeng took a deep breath, looked at Cai Jiansheng, Liu Yuanchun, Miao Fengshan and others around him, and was about to give another blow to the crowd to gather people's hearts.
There was a rapid sound of hoofbeats, and then a bloody scout rushed in from outside the gate of Yongcheng. When he came to Ji Yunpeng and others, he immediately rolled off his saddle and dismounted, cupping his fists and saying:
"Report—emergency military information!"
Ji Yunpeng had discovered at this time that this person was a former Yunshan sect disciple who was now a member of the Yulin Right Guards, named Song Hui.
When the army attacked Yongcheng, many scouts were also sent out, covering hundreds of miles around, to find out the news.
At this time, Song Hui was covered in blood, and there were even several bone spurs protruding from his body. He was obviously seriously injured!
Ji Yunpeng said quickly:
"Tell me! Where are the hundreds of households under your command!?"
Song Hui gritted his teeth and said:
"General, I will lead a hundred households under my command to explore the Mang Mountain area. At the Qingquan Town at the foot of the mountain, I encountered the demon massacre town. All the tens of thousands of people in the town had white bones growing like branches around their bodies, turning into a forest of bones!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone around him couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Song Hui continued:
"The last general led a hundred-man team to encircle and suppress the demon, but he couldn't get any closer. Bones protruded from the bodies of the soldiers under his command, and they turned into a forest of bones one by one... The last general was not immune at first, but in the end the demon seemed to have discovered something, and soared into the sky. Starting from the direction of Yongcheng, I finally took the remaining seven riders and rushed back desperately, hoping to report this matter to the Holy One..."
As he was talking, another sound of hoofbeats was heard, and six soldiers covered in blood rushed in from the city gate, each carrying a human figure lying there on their back.
When they arrived in front of Ji Yunpeng and others, the six people rolled off their saddles and dismounted, and at the same time lifted the humanoid figures off the horses.
Only then did everyone see clearly that these six cavalrymen also had strange bone spurs growing out of their bodies, and those they were hunched over on horseback were actually six corpses.
These corpses were all dressed in the costumes of the mountain people in the Mang Mountain area, but their whole bodies were covered with dense bone branches, some even nearly a foot long. They no longer looked like humans at all, but rather mutated monsters!
At this time, everyone was on the huge square in the center of Yongcheng. Many local soldiers and civilians in Yongcheng immediately recognized that these people were the mountain people of Mang Mountain, and they shouted in horror.
Some people themselves had relatives and friends in Mangshan Qingquan Town, and they started crying and howling.
Only then did everyone fully understand what kind of disaster the emperor had prevented for them!
Thinking about the demon who just now said that once the emperor is defeated, he will directly massacre the city, everyone's hearts are even more horrified, and many people in the city started to cry and howl on the spot.
Ji Yunpeng shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is unreasonable to banish immortals and demons to the world! We will go and flatten the fake court in Xijing right now to strengthen the emperor's power!"
Then he clasped his fists in the direction where Li Yun Yujian left and shouted loudly:
"Wish the Emperor a great victory!"
The millions of soldiers and civilians present, whether they were coalition soldiers or the people of Yongcheng, were all grateful for the emperor's actions. They clasped their fists in the direction Li Yun left, or simply knelt down and kowtowed on the spot, shouting in unison:
"The Emperor is victorious!"
"My emperor is victorious!"
"May your Majesty be invincible and slay all evil spirits!"
"..."
Ji Yunpeng immediately ordered again:
"Miao Sheng! Take your thousand-man troop and garrison Yongcheng. I will give you Song Hui's hundred-man troop and the 20,000-strong Chu Changqiang Battalion that has been surrendered!"
Jinyiwei Qianhu Miao Sheng immediately rolled his saddle and dismounted, and responded with clasped fists.
Everyone understood that in the absence of the emperor, Zhenbei General Ji Yunpeng would be their temporary commander, which was what the emperor had already ordered.
Everyone was not a little dissatisfied with Ji Yunpeng's unique favor. After all, they, who were in the martial arts world, were not able to get on the stage. It was all because of Ji Yunpeng's first surrender to the emperor and the emperor's appreciation that they could have such an opportunity.
What's more, the emperor trusted nine generals, including Ji Yunpeng, Miao Fengshan and others, and did not favor one over the other. Once Ji Yunpeng died in battle, others would naturally take over the command.
Ji Yunpeng then ordered again:
"The others are waiting, set off immediately, follow my general to take Xijing, and crush the Puppet Court!"
The surrounding generals immediately responded in unison, and then the million-strong army began to quickly adjust and marched directly through the west gate of Yongcheng, preparing to continue advancing towards Xijing.
Ji Yunpeng cupped his fists at Lian Yu and said:
"Miss Lian, we are all vulgar warriors. We have never dabbled in the path of immortality, and it is difficult to see its path. I am going to Xijing. Please take care of me, Miss Lian."
Before this expedition, Li Yun had already introduced Lian Yu's identity to them, saying that she was his maid and knew some immortal techniques.
The previous scene of killing three Martial Saints with a single-handed Lotus Transformation Technique on the wall of the capital also shocked everyone.
At this time, matters involving immortality were already involved. With Li Yun away, everyone relied on Lian Yu.
Lian Yu quickly replied:
"General Ji, please rest assured, this little girl will fight to the death for His Majesty."
She knew in her heart that when Master Lieyang issued the Lieyang List and a large number of elite disciples from the six sects of the Chaotic Sword Immortal Alliance came to hunt Li Yun in the wilderness, she had no way of turning back.
Once Li Yun dies in battle, she will not be able to escape the involvement at all, and will be found and killed by Master Lieyang in the most cruel way.
Now she and Li Yun are completely on the same rope. Although she doesn't know why Li Yun ordered everyone to destroy the Xijing Puppet Court before leaving, he must have his reasons. The only thing he can do to help Li Yun is this matter Got it!
Kill kill kill! Kill all those nine and ten surnames, wipe out the puppet court in Xijing, and carry out the Lord's orders!
At this time, everyone had different thoughts. The only thing they had in common was that everyone wanted to carry out Li Yun's order as soon as possible.
This is no longer just an orthodox court dispute, but is related to the danger of the world.
As he spoke, a million-strong army came out of Yongcheng and headed towards Xijing.
Originally, according to Li Yun's previous plan, he wanted to wipe out the Jiedushi and the local powerful people with nine surnames and ten clans step by step, but now he can no longer care about many of them.
Go straight to the Puppet Court in Xijing and destroy the court first!
Millions of soldiers, like wolves and tigers, march westward!
