Chapter 1733 The truth about Yaksha?
"Uncle Pu!" Luo Xie was startled, then overjoyed, "You came at the right time, Banqiu appeared..."
Pulu's status in the Huan Sect is much higher than his. He suddenly appeared here, and he must have come to rescue Yucun.
"I know." Pulu waved his hand to interrupt him. "The Black Crystal cannot fall into the hands of the enemy. Elder Liu sent me here to support Lao Luo. You go and do your thing, and I'll leave Lao Luo to you."
"Okay." Luo Xie agreed, glanced at his grandfather, but did not move.
The Immortal Sect has sent people to pick us up, so Grandpa should be safe.
"What are you standing there for?" Pulu raised his hand and summoned the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. "I'll take your grandfather out of here. Go quickly!"
The Haoyuan Golden Mirror is one of the greatest treasures of the Huan Sect. When Luo Xie saw it, he felt more reassured.
"Yes. Grandpa, I'm leaving first. See you at the Wind Temple!" Old man Luo turned a deaf ear to him. Luo Xie didn't want to delay any longer, so he turned around and ran out of the woods quickly.
In no time, his figure disappeared.
Pulu then pointed at the mirror and said to Old Man Luo, "Old Luo, what are you waiting for? Come in."
Old man Luo approached slowly, as if he was going to walk in, but suddenly he half turned his body, and a cold light burst out from his hand, aiming straight at Pulu's face!
The two sides were no more than five feet apart. His attack was fast and fierce, and the cold light cut through Pulu in an instant.
With a snap, Pulu's face broke into two pieces at the cheekbone!
But there was no bleeding.
I don't know when the living person turned into a paper man. What Old Man Luo broke with this blow was just the paper, which was so thin and brittle that it turned into debris in the air.
Old man Luo also knew that something was wrong, and the cold light swirled back, trying to take him away.
He didn't even want to run away, he just wanted to break through the air.
However, a pair of fine steel shackles appeared from the ground for no apparent reason and clamped his feet with a "snap".
This time Old Man Luo wasn’t able to fly and almost fell to the ground.
Pulu took the opportunity to knock down the flying magic weapon, which fell into the grass nearby and revealed its true appearance:
It turned out to be a rope dart.
He took out a golden bell, turned it upside down on the ground, and put the rope dart directly into it.
Immediately afterwards, a tinkling sound was heard from the bell, and the rope dart was looking for its owner, flying around like a headless fly.
"Take him!"
The task that He Lingchuan had just assigned to him was to test Old Man Luo.
Why didn't Old Man Luo enter the Haoyuan Golden Mirror? Because the mirror doesn't allow outsiders to pass through!
Only those who have been recognized by the Illusion Sect can travel through the mirror.
The human eye may make mistakes, but the Haoyuan Golden Mirror cannot be easily fooled.
Seeing this, Dong Rui on the hillside asked He Lingchuan: "How do you know that there is something wrong with the old man surnamed Luo?"
"Luo Xie asked his brother twice, but Old Man Luo didn't give a direct answer." It's not that he doesn't want to answer, but he can't answer it, right? "Also, Luo Xie has been frowning. He probably feels that something is wrong with his grandfather, but he can't put his finger on it. The connection between close relatives can't be lied to. Since it's about the Xuan Crystal, it's better to give it a try."
……
His subordinates came to report, interrupting Bai Ziqi's train of thought and bringing him back to the reality of the war:
"My Lord, our reserves of black crystals can only last for another two hours."
Bai Ziqi went on an expedition to the Upside-Down Sea, and Miao Zhantian mobilized all his power in the Flash Gold to collect a large amount of black crystals. Although the Great Thousand World's Emperor's Flowing Slurry had just passed, the spiritual liquid did not sink to the ground so quickly and form black crystals.
This is the most important strategic material. It not only maintains the stability of the lighthouse, but is also a rapidly consumed item in battles of this magnitude.
Although they brought a lot of black crystals, they could not withstand such consumption.
"If we want to build two more lighthouses, I'm afraid..."
Bai Ziqi was about to speak when he heard some shouts and curses from below.
He looked down and pointed casually: "Then add some more firewood to the lighthouse."
The thirty or so prisoners of the Illusion Sect who were tied up in the grove below soon saw their fellow disciples who had died in the battlefield, and their bodies had actually been dragged back by the enemy!
Some were incomplete, some died with their eyes open. The disciples of the Illusion Sect began to tremble, because among the corpses being moved were people they knew, people they had greeted and talked to in the morning, some they had even eaten with, but now they were lying on the ground like mud, being dragged around like dead dogs.
Then they saw the bodies of their fellow disciples being moved under the lighthouse, and the enemy opened a small door and threw the bodies in one by one.
With a "whoosh" sound, the flames on the tower jumped higher.
Anyone could see that the bodies had been thrown into the lighthouse and used as fuel.
"Are you still human?" The disciples of Huan Zong were chilled and started cursing.
"Why are you killing your own kind? Why are you serving as a dog for the Heavenly Palace?"
"You dare to do evil and run wild in the Immortal Venerable's territory. He will definitely not let you go!"
Bai Shiqi just walked down and sneered when he heard the voice:
"Killing your own kind? Hehe, what kind of character is the Immortal Lord you serve? You are still kept in the dark."
He pointed to the battlefield below the lighthouse and said, "Have you ever seen so many Yakshas before? Have you ever seen such powerful Yakshas?"
The disciples of the Huan Sect glared at him angrily.
No, of course not. Most of them had helped in past Yaksha attacks on the city, killed Yakshas, and received honors from the clan and praise from the people, but in previous years, only a few Yakshas had left the lake.
The Yaksha tide that had caused heavy damage to Silver Pearl Island was said to occur once every few hundred years, but it was only about a thousand Yakshas gathering to kill people. How could it be as massive and endless as the one in front of us?
Not to mention that there are huge guys like the Giant Yakshas in the Yaksha tide, which is not something that one or two teams of disciples from the Illusion Sect can deal with, but they have never seen them before.
How could such creatures live at the bottom of the lake? Why didn't they come out before? Although they found it strange, they didn't have time to think about it today.
Bai Shiqi asked again: "Have you ever considered why the Yaksha at the bottom of the lake came ashore and stopped attacking you when we arrived?"
The disciples of Huan Zong remained silent.
"If you, the Immortal Venerable, are truly so powerful, how could you tolerate these water monsters and wild ghosts squatting under your buttocks for so long and not wipe them out completely?"
that is because……
The reasons were clearly sufficient, but no one argued.
Bai Shiqi looked at them and shook his head: "You are all from Yinzhu Island, right? We have all been told by the adults that these Yakshas were created by your Immortal Venerable, so they can be sent and received freely, and their strength can be adjusted..."
Before he finished speaking, two disciples of the Illusion Sect shouted at the top of their lungs: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense..."
Before he finished shouting, a cold light flashed behind him and two heads fell to the ground.
"Stupid and unaware." Bai Shiqi snorted, and then said to the remaining living people, "Think carefully, the Yakshas launched several large-scale attacks and massacred Silver Pearl Island. Weren't they all when the population of the island was the largest? When the population was sparse and needed to recuperate, the Yakshas came less often or stopped coming?"
The disciples of Huan Zong looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't believe Bai Shiqi in their hearts, but what he said was not wrong. Every time the Yaksha attacked the city in large numbers, they would kill many people, but in the following decades, they only left the lake sporadically.
The elders of the sect had explained that this was because the Yaksha army had been wiped out by the sect, leaving only a few that slipped through the net to occasionally show up and cause trouble. Only when the number of Yakshas increased again would they attack the city again, starting the next cycle.
They had believed it without a doubt until today when they saw with their own eyes the scale of the Yaksha Tide.
This number is dozens of times more than in previous years, and there is no end in sight!
It can be seen that there is never a shortage of yakshas at the bottom of the lake, there are as many as you want!
Then the words of the elders of the Illusion Sect are a bit untenable.
"Do you want to know why the Immortal Venerable did this?" Bai Shiqi saw the hesitation in their eyes and continued, "That's because there are too many living people on your Silver Pearl Island!"
Some disciples of the Illusion Sect cursed subconsciously: "What the hell are you talking about..."
With a swish, the flash of a knife cut off the rest of his words.
Another head rolled down.
"Don't waste it." Bai Shiqi pointed at the lighthouse and said, "Burn it."
So the three new bodies were fed to the lighthouse.
Bai Shiqi then continued, "The Upside Down Sea is so small, and the spiritual energy is so limited that it can't support too many people. However, there is no war or killing in the Upside Down Sea, and humans are so fertile. If it is not controlled, within 40 to 50 years, the dozen or so islands in the Upside Down Sea will be crowded with people!"
The spiritual energy in the Upside Down Sea is so abundant, and the materials are so rich, that ordinary people will be strong and healthy and rarely get sick, and their life span will be at least 150 or 60 years old. With fewer deaths and more births, the population will naturally explode.
Moreover, the existence of mortals would consume some spiritual energy. How could the spiritual energy that Qian Huan Zhenren had captured from the Flashing Gold Plain using the Reverse Heavenly Gang Formation be given to the mortals of Silver Pearl Island for no reason?
The normal operation of the Immortal Sect is inseparable from the labor of mortals. However, the number of mortals must be strictly controlled!
"The Illusion Sect needs the services of mortals, and they have to pretend to be so, and they can't lift the butcher knife themselves. So, there are Yakshas." Bai Shiqi smiled, "The Upside-Down Sea is the breeding ground of Thousand Illusions Immortal and the Illusion Sect. They keep you like livestock, and can kill you when they want or keep you when they want. These Yakshas are the executioners created by your Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable, specializing in slaughtering your family members, neighbors, relatives, friends, and children. Yet today you still want to fight for Him and die for Him. How ridiculous and lamentable!"
There were deafening shouts and cries outside, but people were as silent as a cicada under the lighthouse.
The eyes of the disciples of Huan Zong were a little dazed. What Bai Shiqi said almost completely shattered their past cognition!
They couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Why did the Huan Sect drive you to this battlefield? Why did the high and mighty elders watch you fight to the death without taking any action themselves, and the Immortal Lord didn't even show up?" Bai Shiqi pointed at the lakeside, "After today's battle, Qian Huan will leave the Upside Down Sea and return to the Holy Mountain, never to come back! These ancient True Immortals have to move to a new place every time they go into seclusion. The Upside Down Sea is just where he has been in seclusion for the past 150 years. After he comes out of seclusion, he will abandon you like a worn-out shoe. It is better to send you to the battlefield and squeeze out the last bit of your value!"
