Chapter 158: Saint Rescue, Purgatory on Earth
Chapter 158: Saint Rescue, Purgatory on Earth
"what happened?"
Xiao Yao and the other three saints were the first to notice the abnormality. Their expressions became solemn. After looking at each other, they flew up at the same time and hovered in the air.
They looked down at the mighty river below, with shock on their faces.
"The sky falls into the river!"
Gu Shijiu's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes, his lips trembling slightly as he shouted the name loudly.
The sound echoed in the air, carrying a hint of fear and despair.
When the others heard Gu Shijiu's shout, their faces changed drastically.
They naturally knew Tianluojiang.
Among all the rivers in the Shenlong Dynasty, the Tianluo River is one of the largest rivers. At this moment, seeing the abnormal situation of the river water, everyone couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Organize a rescue operation immediately! First, let the imperial soldiers climb to higher ground as quickly as possible! Run to higher ground! Use the dirt to build a platform!"
Gu Shijiu suddenly seemed to have thought of something important and shouted loudly with an anxious look.
At this moment, Xiao Yao stepped forward, his voice clear and loud:
"Pile up the earth and stones, and you can reach the sky!"
As Xiao Yao finished his words, an extremely huge earthen platform appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yao exerted his powerful spiritual power, and a huge spiritual hand emerged from his body. Like a god descending, it quickly scooped up hundreds of people and placed them on an earthen platform.
Seeing this scene, neither Gu Shijiu nor Zhao Tianran dared to slack off at all.
They immediately put into practice the spiritual skills they had learned and began to quickly build more earthen platforms.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of platforms sprang up like mushrooms after rain, which was amazing.
The three saints used their spiritual hands one after another. Each of them was like a giant whale sucking water, scooping up the soldiers struggling in the flood one by one.
As time went on, more and more soldiers were rescued and sent to the stone platform.
Before long, the stone platform was crowded with people, the number of people actually reached as high as 100,000!
These lucky ones survived the disaster and their faces were filled with joy and gratitude.
However, thousands of soldiers were still washed away by the flood and their whereabouts were unknown.
At this moment, Gu Shijiu watched all this silently, his eyes revealing endless compassion and helplessness.
Lu Chao flew up, looked at the still turbulent water, and asked softly:
"Is this also the method used by the Evil Suppression County?"
"I'm afraid not."
As Xiao Yao spoke, he pointed casually towards Zhenxie County.
They saw that the water level in Zhenxie County was much greater than that here. Zhenxie County was being severely washed by the water on three sides, while they were only facing the water on one side.
"Oh no, Zhenxie County is finished..."
Gu Shijiu suddenly thought of the life-claiming formation of Zhenxie County, and he realized that Zhenxie County was completely finished.
"us……"
Gu Shijiu wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"Nineteen, don't think too much. I know what you want to say. Do you think we can go to rescue now? All we can do now is to reduce our own casualties!"
Xiao Yao spoke.
"All seventh-level emperors listen to my orders!"
Xiao Yao shouted loudly:
"You must go all out to rescue the soldiers, and do your best to expand the search area, and do everything you can to rescue our companions! As for the three of us, we need to continue to strengthen the stability of the stone platform. At present, it seems that this stone platform may not be able to support it for a long time, so those who stand on the stone platform please try to reduce movement."
As soon as Xiao Yao gave the order, everyone immediately got busy.
However, Gu Shijiu seemed somewhat hesitant.
He stared at the shaky stone platform that seemed like it would collapse at any time, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles.
Although he longed to go and support Zhenxie County in his heart, he knew that he was simply not capable of accomplishing the task on his own.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and decided to devote himself to the work of consolidating the stone platform.
At this moment, everyone understands the seriousness of the situation. They are clearly aware that time is running out and they must act every minute to ensure safety.
Therefore, whether it is rescuing soldiers or strengthening the stone platform, every link is crucial and does not allow for any carelessness or slackness.
……
Zhenxie County was already in chaos by this time.
There was an unprecedented panic in Huang Li's eyes. He didn't know who had treated them so cruelly. The unknown enemy made him look extremely unnatural.
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
Xiao Changtian asked with a panicked expression.
"What can we do? Let's run. If nothing unexpected happens, our enemies have no intention of letting Zhenxie Jun live. They have such a cruel heart."
Huang Li said through gritted teeth.
Xiao Changtian said solemnly:
"Teacher, follow me."
Huang Li, Huang Zhen and several of Xiao Changtian's fifth-level confidants followed Xiao Changtian all the way and found a cave on the back mountain of the Zhenxie County Governor's Mansion. Everyone followed Xiao Changtian and went down.
As everyone moved forward, the cave behind them continued to collapse. Seeing this, everyone said nothing and continued to follow Xiao Changtian.
"Changtian, where does this secret passage lead to?"
Huang Li asked doubtfully.
"Teacher, don't worry. It's an absolutely safe place, but it's a little far away. But don't worry, this secret passage can only be used once. No one will be able to find us. It's a pity to ruin the good situation of Zhenxie County."
"By the way, teacher, we have all retreated. Is the Death-Taking Formation still there?"
Xiao Changtian asked with a smile.
"Of course it no longer exists. The moment I left the hundred-meter radius of Zhenxie County, the Life-Taking Formation was naturally broken. This is the core secret of the Life-Taking Formation."
Huang Li was not shy about it and spoke frankly to Xiao Changtian and the others.
"They don't even think about it. How can a mere mortal like me set up a formation that can't be broken by anyone but the Four Saints? The Life-Taking Formation is like a house with four empty steel pillars placed inside and a piece of paper placed on top of the iron pillars as a roof."
"What they call breaking the formation is breaking the four steel pillars. They never thought that as long as this piece of paper is removed, this room will no longer be considered a room. Do they think they can break my formation? They are just a bunch of jokes."
Huang Li said sarcastically, his tone full of disdain for the so-called saint.
Xiao Changtian understood and said with a smile:
"As expected of a teacher, you are amazing."
The group chatted as they moved underground, not caring at all about the Zhenxie County City which was like a purgatory on earth.
……
At this time, Zhenxie County was like a vast ocean. The city gates were completely blocked by water, and only thousands of soldiers were left on the city walls, frantically calling for help.
