My Master Knows It All

359: Chapter 156 Sinful Debt Must Be Repaid_6 359: Chapter 156 Sinful Debt Must Be Repaid_6 Lan Pili was filled with confusion as he said, “This?

Could it be that the Grand Preceptor hasn’t realized?

As far as I know, there seems to be nothing in the world that the Grand Preceptor isn’t proficient in.

How could the Grand Preceptor not see the problem here?

Then why hasn’t the Grand Preceptor made any preparations here?

After all, with those hundred coffins stationed nearby, did the Grand Preceptor never consider what would happen if the Corpse Generals escaped from the coffins one day?

“Didn’t the Grand Preceptor think that after those Corpse Generals escape, they will definitely come here to this formation and kill those mortals, turning this place into a malicious formation?”

Jue Ying frowned and said, “Impossible, I am constantly guarding outside.

I understand the Grand Preceptor better than any of you.

The Grand Preceptor would never intentionally let the people of these formations die.

Within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Grand Preceptor would protect every civilian, true protection.

This place was not like this before.”

As he spoke, Jue Ying pointed to a river in front of them and said, “Originally, there was no river here, but later, the formation next door lacked a water source for irrigation, so they diverted this river.

This river was built only in the last two or three hundred years, a dug-out river that diverted water from this lake.

Here too, there used to be a small mountain.

It’s just that the mountain blocked…

so it was also leveled later.”

Lan Pili came to understand as he said, “So, originally there was no such geomantic pattern here, it was the later changes in the terrain that created the geomantic pattern.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Is this a coincidence, or something else?”

“We can’t yet judge whether this is a coincidence or something else.

For now, we should head to these few towns,” Cao Zhen said, pointing at several towns on a sand table.

“If they want to complete the final malicious formation, they will definitely make a move on these towns.”

“So far, two towns have been slaughtered, leaving three remaining.”

“Let’s go quickly!”

The three of them swiftly flew towards the towns pointed out by Cao Zhen.

However, when they arrived at the third town today, and then the fourth town, what they saw was the same scene as in Precious Spring Town and Linquan Town.

The entire town’s populace had been slaughtered, not a trace of life’s breath to be felt.

“There’s one last town.”

“There were four Corpse Generals, likely one Corpse General was responsible for each town, having slaughtered four towns.

There is still hope for the last town, Field Lake Town.”

The three of them did not dare to delay and quickly rushed to the last town, Field Lake Town.

Unlike on Earth, where villages and towns are often connected together, in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, due to the presence of numerous ferocious beasts and underdeveloped communication, people lived concentrated in one village, one town, without any towns connecting to each other.

Yong Feng City covered a vast area, with great distance between each town.

Aside from a main road built between towns to accommodate horse riding, the area in between towns was desolate.

Cao Zhen and the others had not yet reached the direction of Field Lake Town when they felt waves of human breath from afar.

“The town, it’s safe!”

“Thank goodness, this town has not yet been attacked!”

The three of them descended directly from the sky and landed in the midst of the town.

Cao Zhen noticed that this small town did not have an Immortal Reception House; perhaps it was because Yong Feng City already had a large Immortal Market, so the nearby small towns did not have Immortal Reception Houses established.

Although the town lacked an Immortal Reception House, the townspeople here had obviously seen Immortals before, and they did not pay too much attention to it, merely watching from a distance as the three Immortals suddenly descended.

Meanwhile, a few constables patrolling the town rapidly ran toward the center of the town, and in no time at all, an official quickly approached them.

His physique was lean and his skin was dark, making him appear no different than the ordinary villagers working in the fields, looking more like a villager than a town chief.

He looked at the three of them with a rather serious expression.

“The three of you, why have you suddenly flown to our Field Lake Town?

The Dynasty has rules, Immortals are not allowed to fly at will in the towns, and this includes all villages and towns.”

Cao Zhen glanced around.

The villagers here clearly did not know what had happened to the nearby four towns and were living as they had before.

Even this town chief, upon seeing the three of them fly into the town, first things first, questioned them.

Lan Pili’s face revealed a trace of annoyance.

They had all come in haste for the sake of these ordinary mortals, yet the first thing they faced was this questioning.

But without waiting for the other two to speak, Jue Ying spoke first, “I am the Garrisoned Immortal of Yong Feng City!”

The town chief, upon hearing this, promptly bowed his hands in salute and said, “I’ve seen the great one.”

Humans and Immortals are different, but as the Garrisoned Immortal of Yong Feng City with an official role, the town chief still had to bow.

He wasn’t bowing to the Immortal but to the official role.

Jue Ying raised his hand to signal the other to rise and quickly said, “No need for more talk, listen to me.

Now, this is urgent.

We are here today because of zombie soldier movements.

We have deduced that today, it is very likely that the zombie soldiers will make a move on your town.”

“Zombie Soldiers?

They are going to attack our town?” Fear flashed across the town chief’s face, “Then…”

“With us here, the town will naturally remain unharmed; however, you must follow our commands tonight,” Jue Ying said, looking around and continuing, “There is no place in this formation to gather everyone, so for tonight, you will lead all the constables to issue notifications.

Everyone should go home now and no one is allowed out tonight, no matter what sounds you hear.

Do not leave home under any circumstance!

Stay hidden under the bed and don’t move.

As long as all of you stay in your homes, I can assure your safety.”

“Yes, thank you, noble one!” The town chief bowed to Jue Ying and quickly joined the constables in every direction, either running to inform the people or going door to door with instructions.

Jue Ying then turned to Cao Zhen and Lan Pili and said, “I need your help, we must work together to prepare talismans.”

Talismans are the bane of all demons and zombie soldiers.

They were just three people, and because the town was not small, they could not protect every household; they had to rely on talismans!
