Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu's face suddenly darkened.    

Under his senses, the evil ghosts that appeared in the black fog actually possessed their own Heavenly Dao laws.    

This was a technique that only Heaven and Earth Realm cultivators possessed. However, there were thousands of evil ghosts in front of him, and they actually possessed such abilities.    

They walked in the black fog, and with every step they took, they would cause the laws around them to resonate. A powerful killing intent spread out, causing many people in the county city to be as silent as cicadas in the winter.    

The group of evil ghosts had appeared, and their might could reach the heavens. They had never appeared in the darkness before, and they would only appear once every thousand years. However, every time they appeared, it would bring calamity to this land.    

No one knew that these evil ghosts had come, and no one had ever touched the Ghost Domain. However, everyone knew how terrifying these evil ghosts were.    

"The Lu Family's Stargazing Master clearly predicted that this calamity would happen five years later. Why did it happen earlier?"    

This unexpected change caught everyone off guard. They looked at the sky in a daze, not knowing what to do.    

Zhong Wanli said in a deep voice, "Close the city gates and activate the city protection formation!"    

The county governor immediately received the order and quickly ran out, passing down the order.    

Fortunately, it was currently late at night, and not many people entered the city. The huge city gates quickly closed, and the various teleportation formations also lost their light. A golden curtain of light enveloped the entire county city.    

"Dong..."    

An ancient bell sound seemed to come from the depths of the ancient sky. It was powerful and resounded endlessly.    

“This is the warning from the other counties. They have also been attacked by the evil spirits,” someone said with a trembling voice.    

The group of evil spirits had appeared, and a terrifying pressure had descended. Everyone felt an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads.    

Soon, there was news that was related to Dragon City.    

Zhong Wanli finished reading the news, and his face immediately became gloomy.    

“What a ruthless Lu Family! They want to use us as a scapegoat!”    

It turned out that the Lu Family had long known that the evil spirits would arrive, but they had not announced it.    

Before the evil spirits arrived, the Lu Family had sent out a large number of experts, using the Heaven and Earth Teleportation Technique to gather all the people who had joined the Lu Family in Dragon City.    

In Dragon City, there was an ancient formation that had been passed down since the ancient times. It was said that it had been carved by the previous Human Emperors, and its power was astonishing. From the ancient times until now, there had been several waves of ghosts that had descended, but they had never broken through that formation.    

For ten thousand years, Dragon City had stood tall and unwavering, and it had never been destroyed.    

“We came to pay a visit to the Qin Emperor, but in fact, we are standing on the opposite side of the Lu Family. He did not inform us on purpose because he wanted us to die in the ghost tide.”    

Everyone’s faces immediately darkened. They did not expect that the Lu Family would act so quickly.    

In the sky, the black fog was heavy, and the evil spirits were like an ocean that pressed down on them.    

In the black ink-like thick fog, many evil spirits revealed themselves. They were either three-headed or six-armed, or they had sharp eyes and fangs. Each one of them had a ferocious and ugly appearance, as if they were the Asuras of hell.    

None of the people present had experienced the ghost tide before. They had only heard about it in the ancient legends.    

The ghost tide happened once every thousand years. The new generation would replace the old. The experts who had experienced the ghost tide had long since fallen. No one knew how to deal with these evil spirits.    

"There is chaos in the city. You guys, immediately send people to suppress it. Make sure the city is stable."    

Zhong Wanli said in a deep voice, "Also, have the garrison in the city form small teams and go to the other counties and villages to rescue the survivors."    

At the critical moment, Zhong Wanli displayed his calmness as the Family Head of the Zhong Family.    

He was calm and collected, and he dealt with the situation in a targeted manner. Although the incident was sudden, it did not seem to be flustered.    

However, even with such an arrangement, the city was still in a state of panic.    

Crying, shouting, and yelling rose and fell. It was a scene of doomsday.    

The ghost tide at the front had already descended above the county city. Everyone could clearly see the evil spirit standing at the front.    

It was a huge evil spirit that was about three meters long. Its body was slender, and its arms were hanging down. It was covered in a bronze-like metallic texture, and there were no eyes in its black eyes. There were only two black holes.    

It suddenly let out a mournful cry, and its voice made one's scalp tingle. Countless terrifying thoughts surged out from his mind.    

"Bam!"    

In the next moment, the evil spirit slapped the city-protecting formation, and it smashed a crack.    

"That was a great formation that was set up by dozens of Formation Masters, and it took ten years of tax collection in the Lu Ling County to build. But now, it was destroyed just like that..." Everyone muttered to themselves, feeling a chill in their hearts.    

This great formation had been built with a lot of effort and was a barrier in everyone's heart. Now that it was destroyed, everyone's heart was filled with intense uneasiness.    

From the cracks, a fierce and sinister aura was emitted. It was powerful and terrifying.    

But now, they had nowhere to run. The black fog had already completely enveloped the entire county city, and they had nowhere to retreat to.    

"The teleportation formation has lost its effect, and the surrounding space has been completely disturbed." Someone came to report with an ugly expression.    

In the sky, a few ear-piercing roars came from the black fog again.    

A few ferocious-looking evil spirits appeared in front of everyone again. Each of them emitted a powerful aura, and they stood in the void, making people not dare to look at them directly.    

The huge city-protecting formation was on the verge of collapse. Finally, it could not withstand the bombardment of the group of evil spirits and collapsed.    

"The evil spirits from the Ghost Domain have been freed from their shackles. They are coming!"    

"It's over, we're all going to die!"    

The county city was in an uproar.    

Even though the county governor had already sent people to appease them, it still caused quite a stir. Some people gathered together, and some people scattered and fled, wanting to escape the county city.    

The sky was filled with miserable screams. Just as many people were about to escape, they ran into the evil ghosts and were killed in the end, their blood splashing everywhere.    

"Family Head, what should we do?"    

"Let's join hands and kill our way out. If we escape back to the clan, we might have a slim chance of survival."    

Many of the elders of the Zhong Family became anxious. Countless evil ghosts were charging towards them, giving them a strong sense of pressure.    

At this moment, countless sharp screams came from the sky. The evil ghosts were about to break through the city protection formation and swoop down.    

It was a suffocating pressure that swept across the entire area. Everyone knelt down and looked at the sky in shock.    

Even Zhong Wanli's body trembled slightly as he barely managed to support himself. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.    

"How could this be?"    

Everyone revealed looks of despair.    

This kind of powerful pressure was not something they could resist. It was even difficult for them to stand in front of it.    

Those who could stand beside Lu Yu could be considered to be people with some status in the Kunlun Secret Realm. However, they were all stunned and could not move.
