Chapter 298: Changes in the Yinjian
In Luohe City, Li Yanbing looked at the urgent report in her hand, her expression appearing abnormally excited. Just a moment ago, she finally received the latest battle situation.
"Uncle! It's that senior who won!"
"Hahaha, good, today we should drink a big cup!"
Li Changge, who had originally appeared light and breezy, laughed immediately upon hearing this news.
"Good, I will call someone to prepare wine and meat immediately!"
Li Yanbing appeared a bit elated at this time and immediately summoned her subordinates to let them prepare.
"The Incense Master has fallen, the eight prefectures are in disaster, the northern barbarians have intervened in our Great Xia affairs this time, and we must take it back in the future!"
"Next, we must pacify the southern prefectures of the Great Xia as soon as possible, and we cannot let the common people suffer anymore..."
The Incense Master and the four sages have fallen, and the common people in the eight prefectures have suffered countless deaths and injuries. Next, all forces will surely be restless.
Of course, for these forces, the most critical thing is the attitude of that Great Sage Equaling Heaven. If the Great Xia can get a promise from the other party today, it is probably worth a hundred thousand troops.
So now, even those forces that had not originally wanted to go to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven have all begun to take action. Various prefectures, various places, and various sects and schools have sent personnel to gather toward Jiangzhou.
The personnel of various forces who had already arrived in Jiangzhou also began to make a fuss after getting the news.
It was just that they didn't have many good ways to contact the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, so many people began to prepare to enter Xinglong Ridge together. Of course, some people knew that Li Yanbing could contact that sage, so they begged at the door.
In short, many outsiders came to Luohe City this day. The influx of a large number of personnel made this ancient city even more lively, as if it had not been affected by winter and war at all.
When Lin Feng returned to the gravekeeper's small courtyard, he saw Old Quezi sitting under the eaves waiting for him to return. Seeing Lin Feng walk into the courtyard, this old guy immediately said to Lin Feng: "Where did you run off to? It's freezing outside, and you're only wearing these two pieces of clothing?"
"Went to the city for a stroll, hurry into the house!"
"Fine, I'm too lazy to ask more. Have you eaten? There is still stewed bacon in the pot, and the taste is very fragrant!"
Old Quezi shook his head, knowing that Lin Feng had his own ideas now. Seeing him return intact, he felt relieved.
"Just right, I'm a bit hungry too!"
Lin Feng nodded and walked into the house. Compared to other places, this simple gravekeeper's wooden house was old and worn, but only here did Lin Feng feel a sense of home.
As night fell, Lin Feng noticed that the Yinjian seemed to have undergone some special changes.
In the Yinjian, the original scarlet sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and the ghostly wind became more violent than usual, blowing on people with a kind of bone-deep chill.
A large number of ghosts wandering aimlessly on the ground also became more active, beginning to constantly search for living things and searching for traces left by living people.
Some special ghosts could find living people who had appeared before based on the traces on the ground, and find their hiding places based on these traces.
In the surging blood river, foul-smelling mud pools, and desolate mountain plains, countless old rotting corpses began to crawl out.
An oppressive, heavy, and deathly atmosphere began to spread to large areas of the Yinjian. All living people still in the Yinjian had a feeling that a disaster was imminent.
As if the sky would collapse in the next moment, countless ghosts would swarm in and wipe them out...
In the Yinjian military camp, the originally busy construction site and various workshops were now empty, with only a small number of walking corpses or paper dolls patrolling and working.
At this time, the Jiang family, the Lu family, and those barbarian captives were all hiding in the barracks to avoid the violent ghostly wind.
Now there will clearly be huge changes in the Yinjian, plus the pervasive ghostly wind is really hard for them to bear, so they can only hide in the military camp and wait for the ghostly wind to weaken.
"This feeling... is somewhat similar to the scene the old man experienced back then. The sky changed drastically, the ghostly wind roared, and ghosts were rampant!"
Gongyang Quan in the Nether Earth Pottery Coffin suddenly spoke. The situation outside reminded him of the scene when the Heavenly Gate was opened back then.
"I don't know where the lord is at this time. He took the army away earlier, I'm afraid there is a strong enemy that needs to be dealt with!"
Hearing Gongyang Quan's words, Lu Daoguang could not help but frown tightly and said with some worry.
Originally, he planned to continue going out to look for mineral resources, but halfway through, he found that some changes had occurred in the Yinjian. For the sake of caution, he had to take his clansmen and return to the military camp immediately.
Hearing these words from Gongyang Quan at this time, plus the appearance of that lord ordering the troops and horses to prepare for battle earlier, he had to associate whether there was any connection between the two.
They could be said to have surrendered their entire clan now, and everything was bet on that lord. If something happened to the other party, it would be no different from a disaster for them!
However, fortunately, the soldiers in the military camp did not have any abnormalities. If something happened to that lord, these soldiers would probably show abnormalities immediately.
Of course, besides worrying about that lord's situation, he was also worried about what kind of impact the changes in the Yinjian would cause.
Although the safety in the military camp was much stronger than outside, not only did it have ten thousand powerful soldiers guarding it, but it also had a Ghost-Suppressing Tower that could restrain ghosts.
But the power that could cause large-scale changes in the entire Yinjian was definitely not simple. He had heard about the Heavenly Gate incident mentioned by Gongyang Quan together back then. That was a terrifying event involving a real god-man!
"It's just that I don't know if the lord will come here tonight. If he returns, we are afraid we have to suggest to the lord that we must prepare well!"
Thinking of this, Lu Daoguang's gaze looked through the cracks in the barracks window at that Ghost-Suppressing Tower. At this time, the base of the second Ghost-Suppressing Tower had been completed. If the four Ghost-Suppressing Towers were completed according to the lord's plan, and a Four-Pole Ghost-Suppressing City was built, then it would be much safer here!
Of course, the most critical thing was themselves. Although their martial arts could disguise their bodies as dead people, they were still living people in essence and could not withstand the erosion of the incomparably violent ghostly wind.
If they could find a way to add a layer of protection to resist the ghostly wind, it would be good. In this way, they could continue to complete the tasks assigned by the lord in this environment.
After sensing the changes in the Yinjian, Lin Feng left the wooden house directly and came to Xinglong Ridge.
The changes in the Yinjian were definitely not a small matter. If the Corpse Master found that he possessed territory in the Yinjian, he would definitely make a move against him!
And besides the Corpse Master, there was also an unknown existence that made Lin Feng incomparably vigilant, and that was the mastermind who was constantly wiping out Martial Dao Venerables and attempting to completely wipe Martial Dao from these worlds.
Lin Feng had undoubtedly been targeted earlier, but he didn't know when the other party would make a move.
According to the Incense Master's memory, Lin Feng faintly guessed that the mastermind probably came from the mysterious Heaven Beyond Heaven.
However, there was no need to worry too much about the latter for the time being. Even if the other party wanted to make a move, Lin Feng had means of counterattack.
The key now was still in the Yinjian. The situation happening now was clearly the movement triggered by the Corpse Master. ===== CHAPTER 299 =====
