"They've co out, the people inside have co out!"
Seeing Tang Rao and the others erge, after a mont of silence, the crowd outside went nearly insane.
They surged forward, torches in hand, so mutilating themselves and others engaging in mutual slaughter. Countless people, as if brainwashed, rushed upwards.
"I think they must be under soone's control."
Tang Rao stood atop the high wall, which was full of Kao Shan Sect mbers, each equipped with a gun, muzzle aid at those below. As soon as anyone approached Kao Shan Sect, they would imdiately launch a counterattack.
The spectacle was truly breathtaking.
"Everyone listen! If anyone approaches Kao Shan Sect within thirty ters, take no prisoners."
The montum was grand, and the voice was so loud that even at a distance, you could hear it from below.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
More and more people approached, though none dared venture within thirty ters.
The first bold one who ventured within thirty ters was gunned down by several ard n.
Then ca the second, and the third.
There were too many fearless people, piling up at the foot of the Kao Shan Sect.
"Boss, these people are just being controlled. Once they wake up, they'll realize how foolish they've been. They're actually innocent; is it really right for us to kill so indiscriminately?"
Old He Zi, having experienced life's great ups and downs, couldn't bear watching wave after wave of people fall.
For heroes, the road ahead is always steep and rugged, and Tang Rao deeply understood this saying.
He also didn't want to harm innocent people.
"Do you have a way to imdiately wake them up and make them recognize the mistakes they're making?"
Tang Rao's eyes fixed on Old He Zi, and in Old He Zi's eyes, he saw confusion. This wasn't Old He Zi's usual style; he hadn't expected the first one to show compassion would be Old He Zi.
"No, at least for now, I don't have the ability to wake them up."
Old He Zi didn't even understand why they turned out this way, let alone find the right solution to make them suddenly enlightened.
"That's exactly right. None of us have the ability to wake them up, and now they want to harm us. We're just acting in self-defense. The brutality of our thods is sothing we just have to accept."
Tang Rao had thought more than Old He Zi, though he hadn't voiced it to Old He Zi and the others.
For soone like him, whose hands were stained with blood, whose killing was as natural as breathing, there was nothing Tang Rao wouldn't do. But surprisingly, what Tang Rao feared most was killing.
"Kill them, kill them all. If one cos up, kill one; if two co up, kill a pair. Let's see who dares to covet my Mountain Sect's things."
No one dared defy Tang Rao's orders. Standing on the wall, the heroes had no idea how many tis they'd fired their guns or how many people they'd killed. Those under control, instead of retreating, pressed forward. Though outnumbered, thanks to Kao Shan Sect's fortifications, ordinary people couldn't enter. Tang Rao and the others barely managed to hold the Kao Shan Sect.
"We need food, we need food."
Countless people clamored to get inside. Tang Rao's side was in dire straits; even Immortal Stones were exhausted, each person with a gun and a single bullet, but still couldn't overco such numbers.
"Burn them with fireballs for ."
Tang Rao suddenly changed tactics. Relying solely on guns was too slow. Fires would be much quicker.
The Gunpowder Warehouse fireballs were brought out, two n to a fireball, one igniting and one pushing.
As soon as the fireball was pushed down, it exploded ten seconds later with countless screams echoing. Though the battle was brutal, Tang Rao considered it justified self-defense; to him, there was nothing inappropriate.
At least standing on moral grounds, Tang Rao's killings were defensible.
"Boss, there are too many people. Our defense line has already retreated by a ter."
Old He Zi constantly scouted, imdiately reporting to Tang Rao when he saw sothing wrong.
"You all wait here; I'll go find out who's causing trouble."
During this period, Tang Rao had been compliant, never provoking the immortals from all directions. Who would take Tang Rao as a thorn in their eyes, choosing this mont to cause him trouble?
Old He Zi and the others also thought this was the best choice.
Tang Rao summoned the Nine Cauldron Snow Beast, flying at a certain speed through the air, breaking through the outer pursuit. Tang Rao called for Xiao Fire Shen to pinpoint the location.
Soone as sensitive to external anomalies as Xiao Fire Shen would surely know who's causing trouble.
"Tang Rao brother, do you think I'm Sherlock Hols? I really don't know who's behind this ti."
Xiao Fire Shen stood on Tang Rao's shoulder, unlike usual. This ti, even Xiao Fire Shen didn't know who was behind it all.
"You've read too much in the portable palace library, even knowing what Sherlock Hols is. You're really impressive."
Tang Rao patted Xiao Fire Shen twice on the rear, expressing his displeasure.
"Quickly tell , why are there so many people, and why do they seem mindless?"
When Tang Rao was anxious, he even feared himself.
"There's obviously Jixing. You should be asking him these questions. Why are you asking ? I'm just a little Xiao Fire Shen."
After all, he's just a little Xiao Fire Shen. What he knows or doesn't know is far less than what's in Jixing's mind.
"Yes, I forgot about him at the crucial mont!"
Tang Rao shoved Xiao Fire Shen inside and began to communicate with Jixing.
"Xiao Ji Ji, I know you're versed in astronomy and geography. If you don't tell or deliberately hide who's behind this, I'll throw you out of my body. Hurry and tell who was orchestrating this?"
Jixing was so scared by Tang Rao's shout of "Xiao Ji Ji" that he nearly peed his pants. Jixing felt goosebumps all over his body.
"If you beg , I might choose to tell you. Beg , beg , and I'll tell you who's behind it."
Shaking off a body full of goosebumps, I, Jixing, felt proud.
The little fire shen and other small creatures hiding in the portable palace all gave Jixing a thumbs up.
They had to admit, it was their first ti seeing soone dare to openly threaten Tang Rao.
"Fine, I beg you. If I beg you, how will your future days be,"
Eager for answers, Tang Rao was delayed by Jixing. If because of this delay, Kao Shan Sect perished, Tang Rao guaranteed, Jixing would return the way he ca, and it would be amazing if Tang Rao accepted this little thing again.
"I'll say it—it's the Mountain God."
Afraid of being kicked back to the Third World, Jixing even sold out the Mountain God.
Mountain God, I, Jixing, am sorry to you. To avoid returning empty-handed to the Third World and avoid punishnt, I had no choice but to offer you up.
Jixing prayed internally not to be blad by the Mountain God. However, Tang Rao later offended the Mountain God on Jixing's behalf.
The Land of Immortals even had sothing like a Mountain God, which Tang Rao found quite curious after hearing.
"Mountain God old man, co out for ."
Tang Rao unleashed a wild, disordered bombardnt toward the mountain.
