The black smoke seemed intangible, yet it was extremely dense. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be countless tiny, bizarre insects. Their color wasn’t pure black but had a sinister crimson glow, even oozing bl**d.
The Feathered Forest Army within the Imperial Capital responded immediately.
“How dare these thieves!”
A brilliant blade light emerged from within the black mist, covering the sky, its refinement reaching the extreme, chilling to the bone.
The one who wielded this blade was undoubtedly at the Dharmic Body Realm.
However, as the blade light pierced through the black smoke, it only illuminated it for a moment before rapidly fading and eventually disappearing.
Countless insects not only failed to be killed but devoured all the blade energy, their ferocity overwhelming!
“What kind of insects are these?”
Li Mo’s first reaction was the same as Ying Bing’s; they both held hands tightly.
“This is not a spirit, but rather a manifestation of a ‘way.'”
“What way?”
“The way of devouring. The one who came should be the Deputy Head of the Huanmo Sect, Yu Wen Cuojin.”
That middle-aged man, who appeared to be a scholar and had been frightened out of his wits, was after all at the Profound Principle Realm.
But the Imperial Capital also had Profound Principle Realm experts, and even the elusive Heaven-Connecting Realm was certainly present. Moreover, this was the heart of the Da Yu Dynasty, with the Map of Mountains and Rivers suppressing it.
How could Yu Wen Cuojin dare?
Li Mo frowned.
They were close to the emperor, so there was no immediate need to worry about safety for now.
The Huanmo Sect truly had no rules.
With such a large operation, they didn’t even inform the Black Earth Immortal.
“Yu Wen Cuojin?”
At this time, the Profound Principle Realm experts from various sects protected their own disciples, and several figures quickly appeared around Emperor Jingtai. Although they seemed ordinary, their aura was mysterious, blending seamlessly with the natural world. The leader was none other than Lord Qian, whom Li Mo had met once before.
This indicated that all these people were at the seventh level of the Da Yu realm.
Lord Qian glanced at the crowd and slowly said, “A mere Yu Wen Cuojin is nothing more than a worthless creature. He cannot cause any trouble in the Imperial City; Lord Kun has already dealt with him.”
“Now we are concerned about how this person managed to sneak into the Imperial City. Without inside help, it would be impossible. The Huanmo Sect’s true intentions have yet to be uncovered. Until then, we will stay by each other’s side. We hope His Majesty prioritizes his safety.”
Lord Qian spoke succinctly.
Their task was to protect Emperor Jingtai’s safety, while eliminating the petty villains was someone else’s responsibility.
Just as he finished speaking.
Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd:
“Steal women!”
“The Deputy Head of the Sect has entered the dog emperor’s harem to play!”
“I want to storm the Jiang family’s ancestral hall and feast on their offerings in front of their ancestors’ tablets!”
These were the Huanmo Sect members who followed Master Song into the Flower Banquet.
The scene became chaotic immediately.
Not only were there powerful experts from various sects, but also young people with slightly lower realms, and even nobles and officials with no combat abilities.
Huanmo Sect members could ignore the lives of these people, but others found it difficult to quickly restore order amidst the chaos.
Various battle auras surged fiercely, making it unclear who was fighting whom.
Even whether those who entered with the sect members were part of the Huanmo Sect remained uncertain. The Sky Patrol Guards were also troubled, unable to quickly control the situation.
For example…
“Hehe! Princess Mermaid, enslaved by our Beast Hall!”
“Wah wah wah, don’t come near me!”
“With you, I can punch you every day, making you cry for four hours. I’ll provide three meals plus a snack daily, and weekends off. Other times, you can only rest at noon and night. Terrified? Hehehe… cough cough!”
“…”
Crying, Lan Tian suddenly burst into tears and dropped pearls. She was stunned when she heard the words.
This didn’t seem too terrifying; it made her feel honored. This was much better than what the merchants in the Imperial Capital offered her.
Seeing the fierce look of the man, she decided to continue crying, feeling it was respectful.
But she soon lost respect.
Because the man who had laughed crazily earlier was becoming increasingly mad and desperate, unable to stop.
It wasn’t just him. The evil people who came with him to capture Lan Tian also showed varying degrees of symptoms.
Some suddenly suffered hallucinations, attacking their own comrades, some spewed white foam, turned black all over, and even reddened their faces, looking suggestively at those nearby, unbuttoning their pants…
“What happened…”
“Cover your nose and mouth.”
Huang Donglai jumped out from the shadows and threw a face mask soaked in medicinal herbs to her.
“This face mask can save you.”
“Thank you, so this face mask…”
Huang Donglai looked wary and didn’t intend to talk much with Lan Tian. Seeing her put on the face mask, he planned to leave directly.
Just then, several Sky Patrol Guards descended from the sky:
“Good, good, openly poisoning, it must be the Huanmo Sect villains, take them down!”
“Huh? You got it wrong! Don’t you believe me? Look!”
Huang Donglai pointed at the group of Huanmo Sect members.
The Sky Patrol Guards frowned and saw that the laughing man was dead, the one covered in black was growing mushrooms all over, and the man who had unbuttoned his pants was pinning another man to the ground…
“You still claim you’re not part of the demonic path!”
“????”
“Ah, you really got it wrong, he’s actually a very good person… huh?”
Lan Tian wanted to explain for Huang Donglai, but her tongue grew bigger as she spoke. She took out a mirror and saw herself, beautiful face swollen like a pig’s head.
“Ahhhhh!!” Lan Tian let out a sharp scream.
The Huanmo Sect members wanted to snatch attractive women.
Lan Tian was hit by the Disfiguring Powder.
Lan Tian was safe.
Huang Donglai thought there was no problem, but the Sky Patrol Guards seemed to disagree.
In fact, Huang Donglai’s situation wasn’t too bad. As long as he explained properly, he could clear things up, since he could prove he was a prodigy on the Qianlong List.
The Flying Poison Double-Sided Turtle was no less valuable than the Wife-Loving Little Tyrant. Who didn’t know about it?
If there was someone the most troublesome and Li Mo worried about the most, it would be…
“Even daring to snatch my woman? Eating bear hearts and leopard livers?”
Shang Wu was drunk, just smashing the head of a fourth-level expert to pieces.
Seeing several Sky Patrol Guards look at her suspiciously.
She clicked her tongue, full of dissatisfaction:
“Oi, what are you looking at?”
As everyone knows.
There are those who mind their own business, those who take advantage of the chaos, and those with ulterior motives, each with their own reasons for acting.
Shang Wu was different.
The Fighting King of the Qingyuan Sect fights whoever he dislikes.
