Chapter 220 The Era of Ordinary People Has Come
The shattered Peaceful Realms had become Li Muyang's secret alone, which he told no one.
However, this secret wasn't particularly valuable.
That broken world was too dangerous and desolate.
It was okay for the Jade Blade Mantis to go in and level up,
but for Li Muyang himself to enter, it wasn't possible.
The day after the Jade Blade Mantis entered the Peaceful Realms, Li Muyang left Tianjiao City to conduct a field survey outside the city, studying the land where the Jade Blade Mantis had entered the Peaceful Realms.
Li Muyang didn't know if it was the Jade Blade Mantis or the system's doing, but when he stood on the land where the Jade Blade Mantis had entered the Peaceful Realms, he really did faintly sense a cold and unfamiliar presence lurking underground.
The area where that land was located seemed to truly have a gateway to the underworld, only that it was now sealed.
Li Muyang noted down the location of this piece of land.
But that was all.
He had no interest in the ruined Peaceful Realms for the time being, nor any thoughts of entering the underworld.
After returning to the City Lord's mansion, Li Muyang continued to soak in the wooden tub while controlling the Jade Blade Mantis to stealthily navigate the foggy and gloomy netherworld, following the system's directive arrows to hunt one ghost after another in the underworld.
Watching the evolution points of the Jade Blade Mantis climb bit by bit, Li Muyang also discovered that the ghosts lingering in the underworld were all numb and listless.
Just like the huge divine corpses wandering the netherworld, they were left with empty shells and residual instincts, not even considered souls, lacking any autonomous consciousness.
Li Muyang carefully avoided the powerful remnants, while reaping the weak ones, as days passed by.
The intelligence he passed to the Refinement Demon Sect became more and more scant.
After all, the core intelligence had already been sent, but up to this point, the Refinement Demon Sect hadn't shown any reaction.
The Demon Sect hadn't acted as Li Muyang had guessed by sending a mighty one from the Purple Mansion to sever the connection between the Four Corners Cauldron and the earth's veins.
The only change was that the Refinement Demon Sect's offensive against the Blood Lotus Cult had become more intense.
Daily battle reports flew in like snowflakes, and the frequency of Tianjiao City's supply transports leaving the city had doubled compared to before.
At the same time, Li Muyang also saw that followers of the Blood Lotus Cult kept emerging from the area where the Four Corners Cauldron was located, putting on their respective sects' battle robes, and after assembling outside the city, they hurried to the front lines.
Those were all Blood Lotus Cult followers who had been resurrected through the Four Corners Cauldron.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As the Demon Sect's offensive grew stronger and the number of followers killed or injured in the war increased, the number of resurrections within Tianjiao City also grew accordingly.
There was an endless stream of dead at the front lines, and in Tianjiao City, there was an endless stream of soldiers who had died and were resurrected.
These soldiers originally needed about three days of rest to adapt to their new bodies before they could rejoin the battle.
But as the Refinement Demon Sect's attacks intensified, many resurrected soldiers were only rested for a day, or even just half a day, before they were hastily assembled and rushed to the front lines.
The supplies in Tianjiao City's warehouses were also swiftly depleting.
According to Shen Yan, the Blood Lotus Sect had used up nearly seventy percent of the supplies accumulated over twenty years for the uprising in just the past two months.
Yet the assault from the Refinement Demon Sect was still relentless, giving the Blood Lotus Sect no chance to catch their breath.
Busy with her duties, Shen Yan hardly had any time to chat with Li Muyang anymore.
But the young girl smiled happily under such circumstances.
"It's almost over..."
Sensing the ever-more ferocious assaults from the Refinement Demon Sect, Shen Yan made an optimistic judgement.
"As long as we withstand this final wave of attacks from the Demon Sect, our sect's great undertaking will be achieved," she said confidently.
Shen Yan was very optimistic.
Once the Blood Lotus Sect fully absorbed this land and converted all the common people into followers, the Refinement Demon Sect would no longer be able to invade.
But Li Muyang became more vigilant.
He quietly brought the dormant fierce tiger, Wushan Jun, who had long stopped descending the mountains to devour people, near Tianjiao City, ready to provide support at any moment.
At the same time, Li Muyang was observing the troop deployment within Tianjiao City, silently calculating escape routes.
Through the near-mad offensive of the Demon Sect, one could discern the unease of the high-ranking Demon Sect figures.
This frantic assault could be described as the desperate flailing of a cornered beast.
As the Blood Lotus Sect grew increasingly stronger in this mundane war, the high-ranking figures of the Demon Sect could activate their ultimate measures at any moment.
If just one Purple Mansion expert dared to take the risk and sever the connection between the Four Directions Cauldron and the earth's veins, eliminating the force that sealed away the martial power on this land,
then the current formation of the Blood Lotus Sect would be like a wisp of smoke under the concerted effort of the Demon Sect's experts and Elders.
The Four Directions Cauldron was the fatal weakness of the Blood Lotus Sect. Your journey continues on empire
Once this land no longer sealed away martial power, no matter how many ordinary people there were, they would be nothing but a slaughter count for the Purple Mansion's experts.
