Chapter 224 Collecting the spoils of Shacheng

The guards were in chaos and their first reaction was to turn around and run, thinking that this would allow them to escape, but many of them screamed in pain and turned into mummies in the process.

Bai Tian asked: "Master, this Sha City Lord keeps resurrecting, could he be immortal?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No. If I cut off the connection between him and these guards, he will die completely."

Bai Tian was surprised, "Then why didn't Master do this?"

Luo Mingyue glanced at her and said, "Because if we kill him once, ten guards will die. Then we can tell the outside world that it was the Sha City Lord who was so crazy that he slaughtered tens of thousands of his own guards. All the killing was caused by him. As for me, I only killed one person, and that was the Sha City Lord, just for the sake of justice."

Bai Tian suddenly realized, but felt something was wrong, "Master, do you still care about other people's opinions? Even if Master kills all the guards, you can put the blame on the Sha City Lord. Anyway, everything is decided by the winner..."

Luo Mingyue said: "With so many guards, it will take a long time just to burn the bodies. It's very troublesome. And there are so many witnesses."

Bai Tian looked back at the group of cultivators who had escaped from the dungeon earlier.

At this time, the city lord's children had been beaten to death by the angry cultivators.

Every time the Lord of Sha City was resurrected, he tried to shout a word or two before dying, but Luo Mingyue didn't waste any time talking to him.

After repeating this for hundreds of times, the City Lord of Sha became cowardly. When he regained consciousness, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, crying, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, Sect Master Luo, please don't kill me again, let me live to atone for my sins, give me a chance to reform..."

When he said the last sentence, he fell to his knees and burst into tears.

This time, Luo Mingyue did not rush to kill him, but touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Mo Xiguang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Master is finally tired of killing. Are you ready to give him a quick death?"

Luo Mingyue shook her head. "No, I just think that chopping necks all the time is too monotonous. Shouldn't we study the methods of quartering and beheading?"

As she was talking, she saw the cold sweat on Mo Xiguang's forehead. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xiguang, are you scared?"

Mo Xiguang said: "No, I just feel that Master is very hard-working... If Master is tired, he can take a break. The disciples are willing to do it for him and kill him."

Luo Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay."

Anyway, she has imprisoned all the spiritual power in the body of Sha Chengzhu, so there is no need to worry that Sha Chengzhu will hurt her disciples.

However, at this moment, the Lord of Sha City, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head with a crazy smile on his face, and said, "Hahaha! God will not kill me, Luo Mingyue, you arrogant and ignorant woman. I also want to thank you for torturing me just now, because the last step of refining the [Ten Thousand Hearts Demon Gu] is to integrate my own despair, boredom, pain and other negative emotions. Just now you killed me countless times, making me experience fear between life and death. The Gu absorbed all kinds of my emotions and finally matured completely!"

The Sha City Lord spoke in a hurry, his face flushed, he knelt on the ground, opened his arms, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Great Demon of All Hearts, King of All Gu - Ten Thousand Hearts Demon Gu, from today on, I am you, you are me, we..."

Before he could finish his words, the head of the Sha City Lord rolled down.

Luo Mingyue recalled his sword, "Shut up."

At this moment, the ground under my feet suddenly began to shake violently, and an extremely large, dark, ancient aura spread out from under my feet.

Thump, thump...

Everyone present could hear the sound of heartbeats. This sound was very contagious, causing everyone's heart rate to start speeding up and blood flow to increase.

Boom——

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard. Everyone looked back and found that the prison they had escaped from earlier suddenly split into two halves. A beating heart crawled out from it. The heart was extremely bright red, and countless blood vessels extended from the heart. These blood vessels were equivalent to human "arms."

When the heart just crawled out of the ground, there were only two blood vessels waving. Gradually, more and more blood vessels grew out of it, like a blood-red hedgehog.

"What kind of monster is this!"

"Run!"

At this moment, all the immortal cultivators were panicked. It was the first time in their lifetime that they had seen a heart transformed into a spirit. According to the information provided by the Lord of Sha City, the heart before them should be the [Ten Thousand Hearts Demonic Gu]. The problem was that the poisonous insects that everyone had in mind were usually smaller creatures such as scorpions and spiders. It was said that there were also poisonous insects as small as dust particles, which could sneak into the human body through skin contact, making it difficult to guard against.

But the [Ten Thousand Hearts Demonic Gu] in front of them was ten meters tall, and its width... was difficult to measure, because many blood vessels were baring their fangs and claws, attacking everyone.

How can this be a poisonous insect?

It's clearly a huge monster!

"The demon cultivators are truly terrifying. They actually raised such a weird creature!"

“How weird!”

Many immortal cultivators cursed the evil cultivators in their hearts, thinking that they were a group of disasters.

The City Lord of Sha has completed a new round of resurrection. He said excitedly: "The power of this poisonous insect is really beyond my expectations. As long as I complete the blood contract with it and achieve the golden elixir, the entire world of immortal cultivation will crawl and tremble at my feet..."

He stared at the heart with an obsessed look, and murmured, "It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful and powerful creature was created by me. I am indeed a genius..."

Luo Mingyue glanced at him, and released the Life-Blessing Divine Fire in front of him.

The blazing white flames quickly ignited every blood vessel, and the terrifying high temperature burned the air into ripples. The [Wanxin Demon Gu] could not speak or make any sound, but from the extent of its struggle, it could be seen that it was in pain at the moment.

Countless blood vessels were beating the ground everywhere, creating countless cracks in the earth. The blood vessels extended and spread outward, and even the buildings in the underground city were burning with blazing white flames.

Luo Mingyue used her spiritual power to protect her disciples and those immortal cultivators who did not escape. The other immortal cultivators saw that it was more dangerous to run away, and the only safe place was beside Sect Master Luo.

A group of immortal cultivators rushed over here, knelt down again, and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Luo, for saving our lives many times..."

Luo Mingyue did not respond, but the spiritual power barrier on her body enveloped this group of cultivators.

Everyone was relieved and finally had time to carefully observe the so-called [Ten Thousand Hearts Demonic Gu]. This insect had amazing growth potential. It decisively abandoned the burning blood vessels, extended many new blood vessel arms from the heart, and rushed towards Luo Mingyue.

Thump, thump, thump...

The heartbeat is violent and frequent, as if someone is constantly beating a drum. Anyone who hears this sound will feel the blood rushing up throughout the body and the qi and blood flowing backwards, which is very uncomfortable.

Luo Mingyue released more flames.

[Wanxin Demon Gu] tried to approach her, but was blocked by the spiritual barrier. It waved its blood vessels frantically, but the spiritual barrier remained motionless and solid as a rock. The Gu was obviously intelligent. It turned around and fled, discarding countless blood vessels as it fled.

Countless blood splattered, dyeing the earth into a strange red.

Many buildings and stalls in the underground city were all destroyed. Luo Mingyue's spiritual sense had already figured out the terrain here. She used her spiritual power to transform it into silk ribbons. After the silk ribbons flew out, they circled and protected those powerless mortals. As for the stall owners, they were all demon generals and demon soldiers under the command of the Sha City Lord. There was no need to sympathize with them. It was just the right time for [Wanxin Demon Gu] to bully them.

[Wanxin Demonic Gu] found that Luo Mingyue did not chase it and thought it had escaped successfully. Whenever it saw a living thing along the way, it would use its blood vessels to roll up the object and suck it dry. However, there were also cultivators whose physiques were too weak. The heart in their bodies was stimulated by the Gu and beat too fast. The blood rushed to their heads and they fell to the ground and died.

“This is impossible, this is impossible!” The Sha City Lord saw the Ten Thousand Hearts Demon Gu escaping with his own eyes and screamed in disbelief. He danced with joy and looked like a madman. “My Gu worm is invincible. Even a Jindan-stage cultivator will be affected by it. How is it possible that you are not hurt at all? Not only that, you can protect so many people. You… you are definitely not in the Jindan stage. You are hiding your strength, right?”

He stared at Luo Mingyue and roared, "You deserve to die. Why did you come here today? If it was one day later... one day later, I would have been promoted to the Golden Core Stage. Except for my children, all the people in the entire Sha City, whether on the ground or underground, would have become food for the poisonous insects. But you came here today and ruined my immortal path. How could this happen..."

The Sha City Lord was crying and laughing, with tears of blood flowing from his eyes. He stumbled out of Luo Mingyue's spiritual barrier and chased after the [Wanxin Demon Gu].

Bai Tian said worriedly: "Master, are we going to let him go like this? He's gone crazy..."

Luo Mingyue said: "He is not crazy, he is just pretending. He wants to get close to the Gu worm and merge with it to condense the golden elixir."

"Master, don't you want to stop him?"

Luo Mingyue said: "You don't need me to stop you. I have tampered with the Ten Thousand Hearts Demon Gu. I will let the Gu kill him in a moment and completely crush the hope in his heart."

There was nothing exciting to see in the underground city anymore. Luo Mingyue waved his hand and sent his disciples and the group of innocent cultivators directly to the ground. He was also considerate enough to send them out of the range of the Evil City. By the way, he also used his spiritual power to transfer all the mortals in the city out.

After doing all this, Luo Mingyue began to "watch the show".

I saw the [Wanxin Demonic Gu] running wildly in the underground city, destroying countless houses and buildings, and sucking the guards and many demon cultivators dry.

The Lord of Sha City was chasing after it, chanting spells and using his own blood to try to make the insect surrender, but the insect ignored him and was only concerned with causing trouble.

In the end, [Wanxin Demon Gu] went around in circles and returned to Luo Mingyue again.

The Lord of Sha City was also tired from chasing and he was out of breath.

Luo Mingyue snapped his fingers, and the [Ten Thousand Hearts Demonic Gu] turned into a ball of blazing white fire and was gradually burned to ashes.

The eyes of the Sha City Lord were dead silent. He knelt on the ground, picked up the ashes left by the burning Gu worm, and said numbly: "I heard a saying, there is always a way out, which means that even if a cultivator encounters a disaster, there is no need to despair, because God will always leave a way out. As long as you grasp the way out, you can successfully overcome the disaster... Luo Mingyue, you are my disaster. As long as I can survive, I can be promoted to the Golden Core Stage, but you are too strong... I feel that God has not given me a way out at all. I look around and see only dead ends."

Luo Mingyue said: "That's not necessarily true. I have a kind heart. Seeing how you look now, I can't bear it..."

A faint hope rose in the heart of Sha City Lord. He asked, "Are you going to let me go? But you damaged my poisonous insect and cut off my hope of condensing a perfect golden elixir..."

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I lied to you. I will never let my enemies go."

The Sha City Lord had a calm expression. He said, "Before I die, can I make a small wish? Several of my children have committed many evil deeds like me, but I have another child who is an ordinary person without any spiritual roots. Can you... let him go? He is a good child, but unfortunately he is not valued. He has lived a life similar to that of servants since he was a child. I beg you to let him go. He would not even step on an ant to death..."

Luo Mingyue smiled, "I let him go, and then you resurrect through his body, right? Don't play such tricks in front of me. I have seen through everything about you. From the moment I opened my spiritual sense, the whole city was visible to me. No matter what you do, it will not escape my eyes."

Hearing this, Sha City Lord was stunned, "You even know this. This is the last escape route I prepared for myself..."

Why did things turn out like this?
Is the disaster I have encountered this time too outrageous?

"Luo Mingyue, I racked my brains, but I can't figure out how to defeat you..."

Luo Mingyue did not answer. She took action to completely wipe out the Lord of Sha City from this world.

The underground city was in ruins, with no one left alive.

Luo Mingyue came to the Sha City on the ground. The cultivators in the city didn’t know what was happening below, and everyone lived their lives as usual.

Mu Lingyan was not imprisoned in the underground city prison, but he was imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion. However, he was lucky and not only was he unharmed, but he also accidentally fell into the secret room of the City Lord Sha. The secret room was relatively large and had two rooms. One room had a locked door and was where ten unconscious guards were imprisoned. The other room contained the savings of the City Lord Sha over the years.

The Lord of Sha City is a rather cautious person. He will not carry all his possessions with him when he goes out, for fear that he will die outside and his money will be picked up by others, so all the spirit stones, magic tools, etc. that he has accumulated are hidden in the secret room.

After Mu Lingyan went in, he looted seventy-eight storage bags, each of which was full. Mu Lingyan was stunned. Without thinking, he directly activated the paper man puppet and summoned his master.

Luo Mingyue did not teleport to his side immediately, but collected all the valuables in the city in the underground city. Although she looked down on those spiritual stones, magic tools, talismans, etc., she could use them to reward her apprentice in the future.

In addition, there are a lot of spiritual rice and flour containing spiritual energy in the underground city. Luo Mingyue smiled happily and felt that her mood had improved a lot. She could take these foods back to feed the little people, which would be enough for hundreds of years.
