Chapter 745 – Content of the Divine Scrolls
Zhan Fengting looked around and said in a deep voice, “The reason why Heaven’s Wail is happening is because evil Qi cultivators are deliberately doing so. Now it’s only the North Land, but we can easily perceive that they have a tendency to spread in the other three directions. According to the current expansion speed, they will spread to the whole North Land in less than a month, then to the West Land and East Land, and even the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, until all have suffered in this disaster.”
Then, Zhan Fengting waved again, and a picture of evil spirits invading the city appeared on the wall of pictures.
Extremely long limbs, creatures that were ugly and similar to human beings were rushing out of those purple evil Qi; tens of thousands of monsters scattering and quickly gathering together to fight, eat, and kill innocent people in the city.
The people screamed and ran away. Even if there were cultivators fighting with evil spirits, they had no way of winning. After all, there were more like mere ants biting an elephant and retreating step by step.
Evil spirits were not only powerful in combat, but also couldn’t be easily killed. Even if their heads were cut off, they could fuse with other evil spirits and make heads again, bringing them back into battle. It made people scared and flee in a mess.
In less than an hour, the city became a tomb. By the time the nearest sect and soldiers came to support, there was no living person left in the city.
It was heinous.
The entire Council Hall fell into a cold silence.
No one spoke. They were all looking at the bodies littered all over the streets and alleys. They couldn’t help but feel an unspeakable panic and fear in their hearts. Some people couldn’t help rejoicing that the evil spirit disasters only began in the North Land, but had not yet spread to their own areas.
Zhan Fengting took the lead in breaking the silence in the room. “I don’t know when the North Land will fail. When that happens, the regions will experience the same disaster that the North Land suffered. Therefore, I hope you don’t stand idly by and establish an alliance now, or make a plan to fight against the evil spirits as soon as possible and give them a heavy counterattack.”
After that, Zhan Fengting took down the picture wall and returned to his seat.
Yan Tianhen glanced at Zhan Fengting, but Hai Kuanglang was not there with him. After looking around the whole hall, he didn’t find any traces of Hai Kuanglang. Did they break up completely? They shouldn’t have.
Yan Tianhen’s mind was full of messy thoughts when he heard Sword Saint Tianshu say, “As you all saw just now, the North Land has suffered a great disaster, and it was all because of evil Qi cultivators. We didn’t know how to eliminate them before, but the North Land had already found a method to kill them.”
“What are you waiting for? Of course, tell us the methods quickly, so that we can make preparations in advance!” A major powerhouse of a sect shouted.
The gold characters about the anti-evil spirit campaign floated in the air, flashing out one by one. Yan Tianhen saw it clearly in an instant.
Although it was an invitation to destroy evil spirits, in fact it was just a binding contract.
For example, the general meaning of one of them was that if one party was in trouble, other families and clans that were quite close to the affected areas were duty-bound to help the affected areas and drive away the evil spirits which they cannot refuse.
After reading it, quite a few people realized this too.
Sword Saint Tianshu said, “If you don’t have any objection to this, you will stamp your blood fingerprint on it. If you have any comments, you will put them forward on the spot so that we can discuss them.”
As soon as his voice fell, someone said, “What’s the purpose of keeping a contract? Do we really have to stay and destroy the evil spirits?”
“Yes, those evil spirits are so ferocious. Our Fang family is in the southernmost part of the Nine Lands. It’s impossible for evil spirits to come to us easily. But even if we don’t suffer from evil spirits, according to the contract, we have to provide human aid, financial resources, and sparrow spirits in advance. We’re just a small aristocratic family. Where can we get these things?”
“That’s right! This is simply deprivation!” Another cultivator angrily said, “When the time comes, before the evil spirits arrive, we will be destroyed by our own people first!”
There was a lot of discussion, and most of them were expressing resistance. Yan Tianhen’s complexion didn’t look very good.
Lin Xuanzhi was very indifferent and said, “I expected this to happen.”
Yan Tianhen asked, “Why?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied, “The matter is irrelevant to them. All those who put forward objections are people outside the North Land. They have not seen the invasion of the evil spirits with their own eyes. Just looking at the picture wall won’t make them fear this. What’s more, as the man in the South Land said, their family may be the last to fall, so they would naturally resist bleeding out their resources at this time.”
Yan Tianhen furrowed his brow together and said, “But in fact, there are no rules for evil spirit invasion. Today is the North Land, and tomorrow may be the South Land.”
Lin Xuanzhi shook his head. “Some small families could only be small families forever.”
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
