The four of them turned around and looked at the bell tower at the top of the Imperial City.

Even if they were thousands of meters apart, the eyes of Hai Wuya and the others and Shang Li still met.

"The sea is endless, you go up to the bell tower. Shang Li's words came into the ears of everyone in the sea unsteadily.

Listening to the disciples of the four major sects around him, it seemed that none of them heard Shang Li's words, and everyone in Hai Wuya was stunned.

Shang Li is the strongest person in the Yin Shang Kingdom, but no matter how strong his strength is, it is only slightly stronger than the four major sect masters, but now, Shang Li's ability to transmit sound for thousands of meters has exceeded the imagination of everyone in the sea.

The people of the sea jumped off the city wall and ran quickly towards the bell tower.

As they marched, Shang Li shouted again: "Shang Bei, as a member of the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom, you should know the importance of that thing, no matter what, I will not deliver that thing to you, if you want to attack the imperial capital, just let it go." ”

Shang Li's words were tantamount to declaring war with Shang Bei.

Hearing Shang Li's decisive words, a trace of hideousness appeared on Shang Li's mist-shrouded face.

"Shang Li, you old immortal. Since you're going to take that thing to yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless. Shang Bei said in a dark voice.

As the words fell, he glanced at the five emissaries of the Demon Spirit and said, "The five of you will call out all those who have surrendered to us, and let them be the first echelon to attack the imperial capital." ”

After receiving the order, the five emissaries of the Demon Spirit quickly came to the rear of the convoy of vitality cars.

Under the shouting of the five people, thousands of disciples of the major sects who surrendered to the Demon Spirit Sword Sect were all expelled.

"Now, you go and attack the Imperial Capital. Remember, if we find that someone dares to disobey us, or someone who disobeys us, don't blame us......" At the end, the five emissaries of the Demon Spirit laughed wildly, and their faces showed incomparable coldness.

Among the many disciples of the major sects who surrendered, there was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a righteous spirit on his body.

Hearing that the Five Demon Spirit Emissaries had ordered them to attack the Imperial Capital, the man's face was full of horror.

He glared angrily at the Five Demon Spirit Emissaries and asked, "You said that as long as we surrendered, you would give us a way out, but why did you go back on your word and ask us to die for you?"

The man's questioning caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and many people with a little backbone looked at the five emissaries of the demon spirit, hoping that they could give a satisfactory answer.

"I said that you would be spared, but I also said that after you surrendered, you must be loyal to the Demon Spirit Sect Master. Now, the Demon Spirit Sect Master has given you the opportunity to pledge your allegiance, and you should cherish it. Whether you live or die depends on your luck!" said the eldest of the Five Demon Spirit Emissaries.

"Liars, you demons, liars!" the middle-aged man shouted.

However, before his words fell, the boss of the Five Demon Spirit Emissaries who had always been smiling gloomily, suddenly moved his shoulders, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

"Shame on the face!" "The boss of the five emissaries of the demon spirit suddenly slapped his palm on the middle-aged man's forehead.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the middle-aged man's head was smashed.

After the middle-aged man died, the boss of the five emissaries of the demon spirit pulled out the long sword inserted in the sword bag behind his back and plunged it into the middle-aged man's chest.

The blade of the sword pierced into the heart, and immediately a puff of red smoke floated out of the middle-aged man's corpse, steaming and pouring into the long sword of the demon spirit messenger.

The red mist, with the outline of the middle-aged man's body, was obviously the soul of the middle-aged man.

Seeing that the soul of the middle-aged man was ingested by the demon spirit messenger with a sword, the eyes of the major sects around him were full of horror.

It is said that people have souls, but no one has ever seen them.

Now that he saw the Demon Spirit Messenger sucking out people's souls alive, many of the returnees turned pale with fear.

If it weren't for the greed for life and fear of death, how would they have surrendered?

Under the coercion of the demon spirit messenger, although these returnees did not want to be cannon fodder, they all rushed towards the imperial capital city helplessly.

On the plain outside the Imperial Capital City, there were more than 2,000 sword cultivators, howling and rushing towards the Imperial Capital City.

Standing on the city wall, the disciples of the four major sects, the sword cultivators of the imperial guards saw these people coming with a fierce momentum, and they all drew their long swords and prepared to meet the enemy.

Just when the two sides were about to start a fierce fight, Shang Li's roar was heard again above the bell tower of the imperial city.

After the melodious whistling, Shang Li said loudly: "Everyone listen, retreat from the city wall." ”

"This ......" Shang Li's order made all the sword cultivators on the city wall stunned.

Although many people were reluctant to carry out this order, when they thought of Shang Li being the commander-in-chief of the defense battle of the imperial capital, they all retreated with dissatisfaction.

That is, at the moment when everyone retreated, suddenly, above the imperial capital city, a silver-white pillar of light with a diameter of 100 meters appeared out of thin air.

The pillar of light rushed straight into Xiao Han, and the light emitted enveloped the entire Imperial Capital City, and in an instant, a silver-white semicircular light shield was arranged on the periphery of the Imperial Capital City.

The light mask appeared suddenly, causing many of those sword cultivators who rushed forward to crash into the light mask.

That is, when the bodies of this group of people hit the mask, the heat that was hot enough to melt people into ashes in an instant gushed out from the surface of the mask and fell on the bodies of this group of people.

Clouds of black-gray smoke rose from the crowd.

Every wisp of smoke that rises, it means that a sword cultivator has been burned to ashes by the heat wave.

In an instant, thousands of sword cultivators who attacked the imperial capital city lost nearly a hundred.

Seeing that the light mask was domineering, the rest of the sword cultivators were all frightened and quickly retreated.

At the back of the team, dozens of disciples of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect held their long swords and looked at these sword cultivators with cold eyes.

Whenever someone stepped closer, they would mercilessly stab their blades into their chests and then forcibly drain their souls.

There is a light mask in front and an executioner in the back, which puts those sword cultivators in a dilemma.

Just as the many sword cultivators were standing in place in panic, the five envoys of the Demon Spirit came to the center of the many sword cultivators again, letting out bursts of cruel laughter.

"You bombard the light shield with your sword energy. If you can blast the light shield open, won't you be able to enter the Imperial Capital City?" said the boss of the Five Demon Spirit Emissaries evilly.

Facing the hideous faces of the five envoys of the Demon Spirit, a trace of despair appeared in the eyes of many sword cultivators.

So far, their net worth and lives are all in the hands of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, and the only thing they can do is to obey the other party's arrangement.

The group of sword cultivators brandished their swords and rushed towards the light shield.

When he was hundreds of meters away from the light mask, a sword cultivator began to release sword qi towards the light mask.

In an instant, the void was shrouded in criss-crossed, whistling and flickering sword qi.

These sword qi continued to bombard the light mask, causing the surface of the light mask to continue to distort, rippling in circles.

When the five emissaries of the demon spirit were forced to surrender and the sword cultivator attacked the light shield, Hai Wuya and the others also arrived at the bell tower.

At this time, at the top of the bell tower of hundreds of square meters, the huge bronze bell has been removed, leaving only a spacious open space.

Shang Li changed his old appearance of laughing and scolding, and sat cross-legged in the center of the bell tower.

Sensing the arrival of Hai Wuya and the others, Shang Li opened his eyes and said, "You should be very curious about what I just said, if you want to ask anything, you can ask me now." ”

Shang Li's remarks made it inconvenient for everyone in Hai Wuya to ask directly.

After a moment of silence, Hai Wuya finally broke the silence.

"Shang seniors, it's not that juniors don't believe in your character. It's just that, at this point, I think the four of us should have the right to know. It is true that the Demon Spirit Sword Sect is a cult, but when you personally issued the order to exterminate the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, was it really to eradicate the cult?" Hai Wuya asked bluntly.

Facing Hai Wuya, who looked sincere, Shang Li did not have any displeasure, and his gaze at Hai Wuya was full of appreciation.

There are many times when it takes a lot of courage to tell the truth.

Hai Wuya can speak out, which represents the openness of his heart.

"Whew......" Shang Li let out a long breath.

He pondered for a long time and said, "Yes." Now, indeed, it is time for some truths to be revealed. However, I can tell you that things are by no means what you imagined, and the order I gave on behalf of the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom to exterminate the Demon Spirit Sword Sect was not for my own selfish interests, but for the sake of the entire Yin Shang Kingdom, and for the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Yin Shang Kingdom. ”

Speaking of this, Shang Li waved at the people of Hai Wuya and motioned for the four of them to sit down beside him.

After sitting down, he slowly told a story to the four of them.

Since the establishment of the Yin Shang Kingdom, each generation of the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom has appeared a Protector Sage, and the strength of this Protector Sage will definitely reach the level of the Yin Shang Kingdom.

In Shang Li's generation, the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom appeared two outstanding cultivation wizards, Shang Li and Shang Bei.

The strength of the two of them is comparable, and the cultivation speed is also jaw-dropping.

Seeing that the two of them were so good, Yin Shangguo, a protector of the country, the ancestor of the royal family, felt very embarrassed.

In order to prevent the appearance of two Protector Sages, the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom caused the brothers to turn against each other, because the founding ancestor had expressly forbade the establishment of two or more Protector Sages.

In order to select a qualified heir between Shang Li and Shang Bei, the ancestor of Yin Shang made a series of assessments for the two, and in this assessment, he ordered the two to travel and form a competition of their own forces.

Originally, it was just a competition of dominance, but it suddenly gave rise to branches, causing a succession of incidents.

The entire sect is full of evil spirits, and the Demon Spirit Sword Sect of the entire Yin Shang Kingdom is bent on subverting the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom, and even the entire Yin Shang Kingdom, which was established by Shang Bei at that time.

The establishment of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect immediately triggered a series of events, and I am afraid that the old ancestor of the Yin Shang Kingdom would never have dreamed that it was his mistake back then that almost completely destroyed the Yin Shang Kingdom today.
