Chapter 625: Old man, corpse puppet, Zhong Changsheng’s anger
The autumn wind blows and the sails flutter.
Along with a burst of weird screams, endless ghosts emerged along the river.
In just an instant, tens of thousands of ghosts came up the river and rushed into the crowd of people.
"what!"
"Help!"
"Run!"
"Ah, what is this?"
"Xiaolan...wife...ahhh!"
Screams and cries.
Like headless flies, there was a stream of people running around, bodies splattered with blood, and bodies that were running, squeezed out by the crowd, and fell into the ghost-filled river under the bridge, where they turned into a pile of bones in an instant. Unlucky guy.
On the river, people on the boat were unable to land, and the boat was destroyed almost instantly.
"The ultimate spiritual weapon--[Ten Thousand Soul Flags]!"
Zhong Changsheng's face was as dark as water as he spat out these words.
This [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] was originally obtained by Zhong Changsheng in the Lihuo Mountain Range.
In the end, because of Zhao Huaian's request, Zhong Changsheng gave it to him, and it was also used as a trump card for his trusted general to suppress the southern border.
He did not expect that a few years later, he would actually see this top-quality spiritual weapon in the imperial capital of Vientiane City.
Moreover, this Ten Thousand Souls Banner was not used to guard the border. Instead, it was used to cause a bloody storm during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vientiane City, the imperial capital.
For Zhong Changsheng, a top-quality spiritual weapon was insignificant.
However, it is still a bit strange for the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] to appear in this place where it should not appear.
Either Zhao Huaian, the general who conquered the south, was killed, and the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] fell into the hands of a strong man from the Demon Sect.
Or, Zhao Huaian himself is a member of the Demon Sect, and he was deceived by him because he was unaware of it.
However, Zhong Changsheng, who had the power to read minds, believed that he had not misjudged the person at the beginning, and the Zhao family where Zhao Huaian was located was in a city no more than two thousand miles away from the imperial capital Vientiane City.
It is impossible for the Zhao family to seek death like this.
Therefore, for Zhong Changsheng, the appearance of the [Ten Thousand Souls Flag] here is almost equivalent to telling him that Zhao Huaian is dead, and he died at the hands of a strong man from the Demon Sect.
There is a city defense formation in Nanshan City, and Zhao Huaian himself is a strong man in the early stage of the Dharma Realm. With the top-notch spiritual weapon [Ten Thousand Soul Banners], the combat effectiveness is close to the middle stage of the Dharma Realm.
Such a strong man, who stayed well in Nanshan City, was killed by someone. It was very likely that a strong man at the peak of the Dharma phase or even a strong man at the Immortal Realm took action.
Moreover, the news of General Zhengnan's death in battle should have spread back to the imperial capital early and set off a storm in the court.
However, before today, no news about Nanshan City had returned to Vientiane City.
This made Zhong Changsheng even more suspicious.
In an instant, Zhong Changsheng's boundless spiritual consciousness spread out like a tide under the blessing of [the power of the phantom dragon and the virtual god].
A moment later, he found a human figure on a lifeless boat.
The figure exuded an aura that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Zhong Changsheng.
The next moment, Zhong Changsheng appeared on the boat in a flash.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
On the boat, the figure with his back to Zhong Changsheng felt something, and with a backhand claw, he fiercely grabbed Zhong Changsheng's face.
However, no movement was seen from Zhong Changsheng. The terrifying claw, which was enough to distort the space, stopped strangely in the void.
In a daze, it seemed as if there was some invisible force acting on the figure, causing his killing claw to remain in a stalemate.
When the figure finally turned around, Zhong Changsheng could see his face completely.
"Zhao Huaian!"
"It's really you!"
Zhong Changsheng's brows frowned slightly, and then his expression turned grim.
He originally thought that Zhao Huaian followed the Demon Sect and betrayed the Divine Dynasty, but then he discovered that Zhao Huaian's eyes were blue and his whole body was filled with a strong aura of death.
How could he still look like a living person at this moment?
It was clearly a complete corpse!
As tyrannical as he was, he was actually made into a corpse puppet by someone, where he crazily slaughtered the mortals in Vientiane City.
When the attack failed, Zhao Huaian immediately instinctively summoned the [Ten Thousand Souls Flag], driving a swarm of endless ghosts to swarm towards Zhong Changsheng.
However, behind Zhong Changsheng, the mist steamed, and vaguely, a huge Yuan Xiang phantom suddenly appeared.
The moment the Yuan Xiang phantom appeared, it raised its head and roared into the void.
The entire ground outside Vientiane City seemed to be shaking violently.
"Hoohoho!"
Accompanied by the deafening roar of the Yuan Xiang, the boundless ghosts in the entire river screamed miserably, shattered, and dissipated into streaks of black smoke.
On the street bridge of Chang'anfang, there are corpses killed by evil spirits and trampled to death by the fearful crowd everywhere.
Those who managed to survive also hurriedly escaped with the help of Tao Yaoyao, Bai Xing and the patrol battalion soldiers who came later.
"Hey!"
Zhong Changsheng sighed softly, slowly stretched out a finger and touched the center of Zhao Huaian's eyebrows.
"General Zhao, rest in peace."
Zhong Changsheng pointed out that Zhao Huaian, who had been turned into a corpse puppet, shed two lines of blood and tears from his eyes. He closed his eyes and fell straight on his back on the boat.
In an instant, the endless ghosts in the entire Chang'an Square disappeared.
Zhong Changsheng waved his hand, and an extremely powerful force of Yuanxiang locked onto the Ten Thousand Souls Flag suspended in the void and forcibly captured it in his palm.
"The Corpse Puppet Secret Technique, the Bone God Curse!"
"People from the Bone Divine Sect!"
Zhong Changsheng frowned slightly, sensing the consciousness of many powerful men sweeping over this side. There were several figures in the distance turning into streams of light, heading towards Chang'anfang. Zhong Changsheng also dodged and returned to the bridge.
"Changsheng, what's going on?"
Tao Yaoyao frowned slightly and looked at Zhong Changsheng.
Bai Xing also instinctively transformed into a white civet cat and jumped onto Zhong Changsheng's left shoulder.
"Humph!"
"It's to tune the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhong Changsheng sneered and said: "Someone is using corpse puppets as a cover to create chaos in Chang'anfang. Presumably they want to attract the attention of the whole city so that they can act secretly."
"Right now, it seems that there must be another group of strong people from the Demon Sect sneaking into Vientiane City."
"Chang'anfang is in the north of the city. Maybe at this moment, a group of powerful demons are planning something in the south of Vientiane City."
Tao Yaoyao said: "South of the city? Isn't that the direction of the Heavenly Prison Division?"
"rest assured."
Zhong Changsheng said: "I have just checked with my spiritual consciousness. There is nothing happening in the Heavenly Prison for the time being."
"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the moon with you tonight. I have to go back to the Heavenly Prison Department now."
