Chapter 274: Assembling the Army

In the eight eastern provinces, in front of every Incense Offering Tower, the disciples of the Incense Temple were currently "performing rituals," using various dazzling Guiyi methods.

The believers, who were already incredibly devoted to the Five Blessings God, were more excited and agitated than ever, especially after hearing these Incense Temple disciples say that as long as they offered their bodies and minds to the Five Blessings God, they could obtain magic power and even become gods; these commoners became even more fanatical.

"Five Blessings God, incarnation of holy virtue, saving the suffering, blessing all living beings."

"Five Blessings God, incarnation of holy virtue, saving the suffering, blessing all living beings."

"Five Blessings God, holy..."

Immediately, shouts full of expectation, hope, and even various emotions rang out, shaking the sky, appearing so ethereal amidst the curling incense smoke rising from the Incense Offering Towers.

Each province had no fewer than a hundred Incense Offering Towers, and the eight provinces had nearly a thousand.

At this moment, the statues of the Five Blessings God belonging to the Incense Master in every Incense Offering Tower were glowing slightly, and massive amounts of incense power began to gather toward these statues.

In the dark, invisible power began to spread from the statues in every Incense Offering Tower. The statues, which were originally carved from ordinary wood and stone, now seemed to have come alive.

The commoners who were kneeling around noticed this scene, and one by one they became even more fanatical. The shouts in their mouths grew louder, and their kowtowing movements became more forceful.

Some people even broke their foreheads without realizing it. Watching the statues release five-colored radiance and seeing the entire Incense Offering Tower become like a fairyland with curling white smoke, they suddenly felt as if they had also become immortals.

"This is the feeling of becoming an immortal..."

Some people's bodies were already frozen purple and blue by the cold wind and snow, but they felt warm all over, as if they were in a dream, floating like immortals, as if they had become gods in the sky.

The same scene was happening around thousands of Incense Offering Towers in the eight provinces. On this day, at this moment, more than ten million commoners had only one thought in their hearts.

That was to believe in the Five Blessings God, to offer everything to him, and eventually, they would surely be able to become immortals and gods, enjoying blessings for eternity.

Only a very small number of people in these eight provinces remained clear-headed, but being clear-headed was sometimes not a good thing for ordinary people.

"Where exactly will the Incense Master appear?"

"Is it that ancient town hidden by the Incense Temple? Or some array core in the eight provinces? Or will he not appear at all, still hiding in that netherworld?"

Deep in the palace of Xinglong Ling, Lin Feng looked at the map and combined it with the situation observed by the corpse-collecting Zhiren to speculate on the possible location of the Incense Master.

However, based on the current situation, it was not easy to accurately find the opponent's location. Of course, because Lin Feng had buried many Incense Temple disciples, he was quite clear about some of the secrets of the Incense Temple.

He had already determined three places where the Incense Master might appear, and the next step was to wait for the right moment to see when the opponent would show up.

"I should continue to send some Zhiren to scatter into the eastern provinces to inquire about the situation. The information that can be collected by just a dozen corpse-collecting Zhiren is still too little."

Of course, just waiting like this was not Lin Feng's way, so he directly summoned the Qianmian Zhi Gui to make a batch of new Zhiren.

These Zhiren were not strong; they were just ordinary Zhiren, but their appearances were disguised.

Some looked like hunters walking in the deep mountains, some looked like farmers working in the fields, some were peddlers walking the streets, and others were opera troupes selling their skills everywhere...

In short, no matter where these people appeared, they would basically not attract special attention, and even if they were lost, Lin Feng would not feel any heartache.

"Might as well give them a ride. The current locations of the corpse-collecting Zhiren in various places are quite good!"

After making these Zhiren, Lin Feng directly sent them through the Shadow Ghost Domain into the corpse bags of the various corpse-collecting Zhiren.

Once the corpse-collecting Zhiren found a quiet and deserted place to release them, they could go deep into various places to inquire about news.

With these spy Zhiren going deep into various towns, villages, and even the sacrificial grounds outside the Incense Offering Towers to inquire about news, Lin Feng instantly had a clear grasp of the changes in every part of the eight eastern provinces.

After completing this, Lin Feng began to make other preparations. After releasing the Gui Tie Ren Xiang, he let the Shuangzi Gui enter it, and then Lin Feng directly opened the Ghost Gate to let it enter.

In the Yinjian, the current camp had changed drastically. A pure black high tower now stood in the southern part of the original camp.

This high tower appeared to be an octagonal rhombus, and the pillars, tiles, and bricks that made up the tower were all made of black jade and black steel stone.

However, although this high tower looked pure black, one could see dense scarlet talisman engravings distributed all over the tower upon getting slightly closer.

At this time, the entire Zhen Gui Tower was constantly releasing a special power that could suppress Guiyi inside and outside the camp.

Within the coverage of the Zhen Gui Tower, any Guiyi below the level of Disaster Ghost would be greatly suppressed. The only way to be exempted from this suppression effect was to obtain a special talisman seal that matched the Zhen Gui Tower.

And the main body of this talisman seal was in Lin Feng's hands; only with his permission could others obtain the blessing of this talisman seal.

After the Gui Tie Ren Xiang entered the Yinjian, it directly contacted the Zhiren army inside and outside the camp, and immediately, a large number of soldiers began to gather toward the drill ground.

The Zouyins and corpse-handling craftsmen who noticed the movement also followed the Zhiren army to the drill ground to pay their respects to Lin Feng.

"Click, click, click."

How massive was the momentum of ten thousand Heavy Armor Zhiren acting together?

Just the sound of their armor colliding as they walked was enough to drown out any other sound. They moved in unison, all wearing black heavy armor, holding black battle blades in their hands, and the momentum they radiated alone was enough to scare many people.

Of course, in the entire camp now, besides the Zhiren, there were only the Zouyins and corpse-handling craftsmen who were already familiar with this situation.

"Boom! Bang, bang, bang!"

Soon, this army was assembled, and more than half of the drill ground was occupied by them. Looking around, the entire drill ground was filled with a black mass of armored soldiers with a metallic luster.

"Click, click, click."

At the same time, a Ghost Gate in the drill ground slowly opened, and the cavalry unit that was hunting Guiyi outside the camp also returned through the Ghost Gate.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~"

At this time, each Ghost Wolf beast looked far more fierce and vicious than before. Over these days, they had followed the Zhiren army to devour many Guiyi, and their own strength was also rapidly improving.

Currently, the strength of the vast majority of Ghost Wolf beasts had exceeded that of ordinary Great Ghosts. If several Ghost Wolf beasts acted together, they could even kill Fierce Ghosts.

This was the benefit of being able to grow constantly; in less than ten days, they had achieved such terrifying strength growth. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
