Wushuang City was originally a small city, but the imperial court built more than a dozen large official roads around it, and most of the merchants liked to repair and replenish resources in Wushuang City. As time slowly accumulated, Wushuang City became the largest city in Wu Kingdom, and its prosperity could even be compared to that of the Imperial City.

What should have been a bustling city is now not a single person on the streets, not only on the streets, but also not a single person in the entire city, not even a single animal.

The sky was a little gray, and occasionally a light wind blew or two, blowing the half-inclined door panel of a shop and swaying it, making a "squeak" sound, making the whole city seem even more deadly silent, revealing an eerie feeling from the inside out.

At this moment, two yellow rays of light suddenly appeared on a hill dozens of miles outside Wushuang City, and these two yellow rays of light came towards Wushuang City at an incredible speed.

After a while, the two yellow rays of light fell on the walls of the Peerless City, and as soon as the dazzling yellow light was closed, two figures were revealed.

If Lin Yuqing was here, he would definitely find at a glance that these two were the two immortal masters who left his general's mansion not long ago, but the current two were no longer dressed as guards, but changed into a Taoist robe.

"Senior Brother Liu, I had bad luck with you, and I became so unlucky that I was sent to do these things. A long-eyebrow Taoist priest complained.

"Hmph, you weren't there when you fought against the Seven Sects of Jiayue Kingdom, how much danger was avoided, and now you are still complaining about letting you carry out this small task, you are really cheap and good. The young man surnamed Liu said coldly.

"The reason why I didn't participate in the battle against the Seven Sects of the Jiayue Kingdom is not because I am not in the sect, and when I hurried back to find that the battle was over, how can I be blamed! Besides, this is a small task, this is a big matter that the heavens are angry and people resent! I wonder if we all have to bear unbearable sins. The long-eyed Taoist priest argued.

"Those are just legends in the dark, you really believe those rumors, and besides, we monks are going against the sky, and we don't care what they do. The young man surnamed Liu said with some dissatisfaction, obviously he was a little dissatisfied with the words of the long-eyebrow Taoist.

"If it's true, this involves the souls of millions of people, and the souls of millions of people are much more serious than killing so many people because we can't enter the path of reincarnation. The long-eyed Taoist priest was a little uneasy, he knew that with his cultivation, he was far from being able to bear such serious consequences.

"Hmph, whether there is reincarnation in the underworld is still up for debate, you are now worried about the matter of heaven's damnation, isn't it a bit unfounded! Since the sect has asked us to guard the big array here, condense our souls, and prevent them from dissipating in the heavens and the earth, we just do it, what do you have to worry about!" said the young man surnamed Liu with an expressionless face.

"Having said that, these things would rather be believed than not believed!"

"Hmph, prepare to condense your soul, it's not good if you miss the hour. The young man surnamed Liu looked up at the sky, and then pinched his fingers and said.

The long-eyebrow Taoist sighed slowly, he knew that today's matter was not something he could call the shots at all, whether he wanted it or not, he had to do it.

"It's okay, just collect these souls and give them to me, and I'll bear all the blame. You are only helping, and there will be no curse. The figure of a young scribe appeared out of thin air behind the two men, and the two men did not notice it at all, until the young scribe spoke, and the two turned their heads in shock.

When the two turned their heads and saw the faces of the young scribe behind them, the two immediately bowed and worshipped, looking very respectful.

"Uncle Shi, why did your old man come in person, it is up to the two of me to collect the soul here, why bother Uncle Shi, you will go on a trip in person!" the young man surnamed Liu hurriedly said.

"The cultivation of the two of you is also rare in the sect, if there is some chance, maybe you can enter my ranks in the future, but it is not good to let you bear the sins for me, the sect may need you to protect it in the future. The young scribe said slowly.

"Uncle Shi, is it really a curse to collect a large number of living souls!" The long-eyebrow Taoist priest was a little surprised on his face.

"Damnation! Sort of, according to ancient records, it is true that any monk who has done something similar will not have a good death, otherwise why do you think those old monsters don't come here to collect living souls! Cultivate to the point where I am, which one is compassionate to the heavens!" said the young scribe with a smirk.

"Uncle Shi, why are you ......" The long-eyed Taoist priest was interrupted by the young scribe before he could finish speaking.

"Haha, I'm dying of life, I'm a dying person, and I'm afraid that there won't be a good death? This time, with the help of these living souls, I will definitely be able to refine a powerful magic weapon, maybe I will be able to return safely from the forbidden land with this magic weapon." The young scribe smiled and said.

"Forget it, according to the method I passed on to the two of you, prepare to collect the living souls here, I am the one who refines the magic weapon, and those heavenly curses in the underworld will fall on me. With a wave of the young scribe's sleeves, the sky above Wushuang City instantly became black and foggy, and the aura was ghostly.

In this black mist, there were faint human faces, old and young, men and women, all of whom were hideous and abnormal on their faces, as if they were suffering great pain.

This huge black mist shrouded in the Peerless City was firmly locked in place by a piece of golden light, and no matter how much this black mist rushed left and right, it could not escape the control of the golden light.

"Uncle Shi, your Buddha beads. The Taoist priest surnamed Liu turned his hand and took out a string of Buddhist beads shining with colorful light, and handed it to the young scribe.

"Don't rush to return me first, the two of you will work together to urge Chaotian Zhu to lock these souls, and I will withdraw the big array. The young scribe kept looking up at the sky, expressionless.

"Yes, Uncle Shi. The two of them immediately worked together to urge the Buddha beads in their hands, and the string of Buddha beads instantly shone brightly, and disappeared in a flash.

Wait for the next moment, there was a circle of colorful light on the edge of the black mist, firmly nailing those black mists in the air, and the faces of the people in the black fog were quiet under the colorful light, and the expressions on their faces slowly stopped being hideous, as if they were being exceeded.

"Sickness. Seeing that those souls had settled down, the green-shirted scribe couldn't help but gaze, and gently cast a spell into the air, and the golden light that had originally locked the black mist slowly faded.

"From. As soon as the young scribe's words fell, the momentum of his whole body rose wildly, and his two or three breaths were as thick as a mountain, and at the same time, a small black banner one inch long flew out of his palm, flying straight towards the black mist.

The small black banner was also growing rapidly while flying, and by the time it flew to the edge of the black mist, it was already a hundred zhang in size, but it still seemed a little small in front of the black mist.

The black banner was covered with black air, and on the surface of the banner was a demon with three strange horns, and the demon was constantly wandering on the surface of the banner as if it were a living creature.

"Receive. As soon as the young scribe's words fell, the demonic facial features on the giant banner were hideous, and he suddenly opened his big mouth, and a terrifying suction tore at the black mist in the sky.

In just one breath, hundreds of human faces in the black mist in the sky were sucked into the mouth of the demon.

......

On a barren mountain more than 100 miles away, two figures are standing side by side, a man and a woman, the woman is charming, with a pair of three-inch feet bare, and her face is like a fairy. The man was an old man with an ordinary face, dressed in a dusty robe, and at this time the two of them were staring at the peerless city that had long since been reduced to a dead city.

"Senior brother, he really dares to collect so many living souls, this is a heavenly anger, he is really not afraid!" said the unusually delicate girl in surprise, obviously she felt the changes in Wushuang City.

"He's going to die, and it's not surprising to do this. Besides, the curse of heaven is too mysterious, although it is recorded in ancient books, but it cannot be trusted. The old man's face remained unchanged, as if he was not too surprised by what the young scribe had done.

"That little general named Lin Yuqing is a talent, he can attack the strong with weakness, and the use of soldiers is really good, I was also a general in the world back then, in all fairness, I couldn't do him at that time. It's just a pity that he doesn't have a spiritual root, otherwise I would have been able to accept him as a disciple. The old man spoke again.

"Senior brother actually had the idea of accepting apprentices, it seems that senior brother still cares about this little general. By the way, senior brother, didn't the hidden dragon's eye appear three hundred years ago, but unfortunately it was taken out of the Wu Kingdom by a little guy fishing in troubled waters, isn't that a strange thing that makes mortals give birth to spiritual roots! Count the days, and now the hidden dragon's eye should also be formed!" The delicate woman seemed to remember something, and muttered a few words.

"Let people give birth to spiritual roots! Such strange things in heaven and earth are hard to find, not to mention in our human realm, even in the upper realm, it is rare to encounter in ten thousand years, do you really think that the hidden dragon eye can make people unconditionally give birth to spiritual roots? Mortals who take the hidden dragon eye will die within three years and become ghosts, it is indeed a spiritual root, but this spiritual root is a mixed dark spiritual root, and it can only follow the path of yin ghosts, with no future at all, and it will not be able to reincarnate at all! The real purpose of this hidden dragon eye is not to give birth to spiritual roots, it is used to refine the body! It is of some use to some demon beasts and Buddhist Vajra relics, but it is of no use to us!" the old man said slowly, his expression was very indifferent.

"Ah, this hidden dragon's eye gave birth to a spiritual root that turned out to be fake!" the charming woman's tone was very surprised.

"By the way, senior brother, thirty or forty years later, as soon as that old ghost dies, there will be no one in the Wu Kingdom who can compare with you, should our sect improve its status a little!" The charming woman seemed to remember something, and said with a smile.

"Alas, forget it, with his reference, I understand it thoroughly. After I go back this time, I will no longer be tainted by these mundane things, and I will never take care of the affairs of the sect again. My longevity is only one or two hundred years away, and if I don't plan early, I'm afraid I will follow in his footsteps. I'm going to travel around, looking for some opportunities, and see if I can go any further. The old man sighed leisurely.

The charming woman heard the old man's sigh, and her heart was also stunned, don't look at her as charming as an eighteen-year-old girl, but her real age is also calculated in a hundred years, although her remaining longevity is one or two hundred years longer than the old man, but she doesn't feel that she can make any breakthroughs, and when she cultivates to the point where she is, it is extremely difficult to break through every bottleneck.
