After the immortal disappeared

In contrast, after the horn sounded, the original expressions on the faces of the townspeople disappeared and turned into confusion, as if they didn't know what happened and what they should do.

After just two breaths, they became dull and sluggish again, and every move was like a puppet.

A good person suddenly lost his spirit.

The adults who had previously taken their children to see the crickets now left their children's hands and walked out of the town without looking back.

Once they left the town, they walked faster and faster.

A few of He Lingchuan's men who were curious found that they all entered the tree hole, so they trotted over to see:

Wow!

The townspeople in the heart of the tree, who were still in coarse cloth shirts a breath ago, walked out of the other end of the tree hole and turned into soldiers wearing armor and sharp weapons, with ferocious masks on their faces!

One or two were like this, and a hundred or eighty were like this. Even the woman walked in and came out like a template soldier.

As soon as they came out of the tree hole, they ran wildly, faster than a galloping horse, and soon disappeared in the bushes.

The armor and weapons weighed at least dozens of kilograms. How could they be ordinary humans running so fast with such a heavy load?

The peddler, who had been smiling amiably, also stood up and walked past Wanqi Liang. With a clack, the rattle fell to the ground and was almost stepped on by himself. The children who were originally very fond of these small toys now stood there in a daze, not bending down to pick them up at all, but just staring at the direction of the town entrance in a daze.

Perhaps they were too weak and were not recruited.

Wanqi Liang tried to grab the peddler's arm: "Hey! Where are you going?"

The peddler struggled violently, and his strength was so frightening that Wanqi Liang thought he had held a frightened horse and was almost knocked down. Fortunately, he lowered his waist and exerted force with his feet, so he did not make a fool of himself in front of his companions.

Is this the strength that an ordinary person should have?

The peddler did not break free at once, and suddenly turned his head to look at him.

The pupils were completely dilated, and the eyeballs were full of black, completely out of focus. But the people who saw him knew that he was glaring at them fiercely.

Even though Wanqi Liang himself had killed many people, he was frightened by his look. Just then, He Lingchuan patted his shoulder and said "let go", and he let go of the peddler.

The thin man didn't even look at him, and turned to run to the town entrance.

When he rushed out of the tree hole, he was already coated with a layer of armor. Not only was his body stronger, but he was also a head taller than before. Wearing a bronze pig-faced fang mask, who could still tell that he had to walk the streets to make a living?

A small businessman who worked hard to sell goods, after hearing the soul-calling horn, suddenly became a puppet and a warrior with a gun!

A disciple of the Illusion Sect murmured: "They went to Yaozi Lake."

Everyone seemed to know what was going on. These townspeople turned into armored soldiers to stop the pursuers behind them.

No wonder Elder Liu asked everyone to wear evil ghost masks. When the Heavenly Palace team arrived, they saw that all the living people here were wearing masks. Who could tell the Illusion Sect team from them?

This is called hiding trees in the forest.

Elder Liu took a look and ordered everyone: "Don't look, hurry up! We are almost there!"

The monks on the side couldn't help it: "Uncle Liu, who blew the horn for these people?"

Some people touched their faces and said in horror: "We won't also..."

Will we also become like this?

They are also residents of the Upside-Down Sea. The soul-calling horn can't call them. Maybe there are other things that can capture their souls, making them lose their minds like these townspeople, turning into puppets and only obeying orders.

Elder Liu pointed at him and cursed: "If you keep talking nonsense, the next one to enter the tree hole will be you, Ye Zhao!"

Ye Zhao quickly shut up.

Elder Liu then said, "Don't make a fuss. You are disciples of the Illusion Sect. How can you not see that these are not real people?"

Everyone's doubts were written on their faces: "What are these?"

These confused children in front of them really looked like clockwork puppets.

"The souls of the dead residents of Silver Pearl Island will have a short projection here before they completely dissipate." Elder Liu said seriously, "The Immortal Venerable placed them here with supreme immortal power, allowing them to continue their lives before they died, and dissipate without resentment. This is the most gentle transcendence!"

The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan's arms chuckled and said, "Good eloquence. No wonder the Illusion Sect asked him to receive you as soon as you reached Shilong Peak."

But He Lingchuan didn't laugh.

Everyone looked at each other, and a cultivator blurted out, "Is this the Town of the Dead?!"

The projection of the dead soul... isn't it a ghost?

"These look like living people, not ghosts! Well, at least before the horn sounded."

There was a lot of discussion.

A monk in the back looked at the dazed child in the town, and suddenly raised his hand and threw a dart, which rubbed his forehead.

The child didn't even blink, but his forehead began to bleed, bright red.

Others said, "What are you doing?"

"My uncle said that this is not a living person, let me try." He looked again and again, "Hiss, it's so real, I can't tell at all! The immortal master is really powerful."

Everyone quickened their pace while digesting the news.

Elder Liu's apprentice came up to him and whispered, "Master, is this, is this really the real world?"

In the real world, under the bright and clear sky, how can ghosts travel in broad daylight?

Seeing these ghosts farming, trading, eating, and sleeping in a serious manner, just like in life, everyone was surprised and amused at first, but when they thought about it carefully, they actually felt a bit sad.

What about themselves, their relatives and friends, how much better than these ghosts? If it weren't for the invasion of the Heavenly Palace, they would never have stepped into Yaozi Lake in their lives, let alone know that there is another side to the world they have lived in for decades.

Elder Liu said solemnly: "Where the Immortal Venerable is, is the present world! He is so powerful that he has this world under his control. What he says is true is true, and what he says is illusion is illusion."

He Lingchuan's footsteps were half a beat slower, and this statement was really worth pondering over and over again.

The disciple was also tasting it, and suddenly exclaimed: "The Immortal, the Immortal Venerable has come out of retreat?!"

"Yes." At this point, Elder Liu finally gave everyone a positive answer, and his voice was particularly loud, "The Immortal Venerable has come out of retreat, and the Heavenly Palace can no longer do evil!"

The Huanzong team in the back was originally moved by the scene, and everyone felt gloomy. When they heard this, they were stunned for a few breaths, and suddenly a burst of noise broke out.

The Immortal Venerable has come out of retreat!

The master of the Upside-Down Sea, the Immortal Venerable with great magical powers and boundless power has finally woken up!

Is there any better news than this?

They now have a backbone, and no longer have to suffer the anger of the demons, and no longer have to be chased around by the demons!

The sadness and absurdity in their hearts were immediately driven away by this exciting good news.
