The night is getting darker, and there are no thick clouds in the sky, but the light of stars and moon is extremely dim. The wind passing by is not fierce, and the chill it brings can almost freeze the bone marrow into ice.

Mu Lie had never been so cold before. He was squeezed tightly with a group of monkeys, as if wearing a bloated fur coat, but he still felt cold. The monkeys were shaking and screaming in their mouths.

"Yin, Master Yin...you, don't you know how to do magic?" Mu Lie easily refused to ask for help, and at this time he had to speak.

"What are you doing?" Yin Buchen asked coldly. They stood on the city wall in the east, looking out at the magic circle of the Holy Talisman Army and the ancestor tower by the river. The light emitted from the top of the tower was not grand, but it was the brightest source of light this night.

"Change, let's get out of the fire, it's too cold." The monkeys piled up together and wrapped Mu Lie in it. He only exposed his eyes and nostrils, and his voice seemed a little dull, and he would swallow the monkey hair if he accidentally did.

Yin Buchen was also cold. More than an hour ago, Mu Xingqiu easily gave up the Patriarch Tower, and he was shocked. When the 90,000 soldiers were in place and the God-Summoning Array gradually showed its power, he was shocked again. This coldness exceeded his expectations. The demonic power provided by the two crystal eyes was difficult to resist. Only by relying on the newly formed demon body could he barely remain calm.

He could not imagine how powerful the entire formation would be after 90,000 soldiers offered blood sacrifices.

"That won't work. Now the formation of the Holy Talisman Army has been formed, and the whole city is covered by spells. Once I cast the spell, I might be subjected to a counterattack. We will die faster by then."

"We... shouldn't stay in the city." Mu Lie regretted it. The monkeys seemed to understand his words, and their screams became more urgent.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you can't see anything outside."

"Look, what are you looking at?" Mu Lie never understood what the soldiers inside and outside the city were doing. Each of them guarded a wooden stake, holding the ancient statue of the god in both hands, and raised his head to face the demonic weapon hanging on the stake. The magic weapon was muttering, and he did not notice anything other than the darker sky and the colder wind.

Yin Buchen was very willing to act like a noble man in front of a mortal, and said a long time. "The Holy Talisman Army must have learned this set of formations from the demon clan, but it is stronger. The emperor is not that capable, so someone must have helped him improve the magic array. Who is it? The most likely one is a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was hidden, and the Taoist priest watched the formation across the river, waiting for him to show up, and then killed and rescued the 90,000 sacrificers."

"So...so... I thought... he had killed someone, so he would not... save someone again." Mu Lie felt that speaking could relieve the chill a little.

"Hey, that's also called killing? Besides, why are you always 'his'? That's your ancestor, do you know?"

"He does have the same name as a Gaozu of the Mu family, but we are not a family." Mu Lie said affirmatively.

"Idiot, I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just wait and see the fun. Dao Zun will definitely win a great victory. Dao Jue Qin will secretly support him. No matter who the Taoist priest is hidden in the Holy Talisman Army, they will be defeated tonight."

"Yes." Mu Lie's voice trembled, the chill was too heavy, and it was useless to chat.

Yin Buchen shook his head, "Mortals are really fragile. They are like unlucky wood. They are useless to keep them. They are not strong enough when firewood is burned. I understand a little bit why Kun Dun destroyed you all."

"I'm not afraid of the cold!" Mu Lie shouted loudly, throwing away the two monkeys holding onto his head. Yin and cold shave towards him like a sword. Mu Lie was so cold that his mind was about to break. Shut his mouth and couldn't say a word.

The monkey jumped up again, wrapped him tightly, and his eyes were not exposed. However, the chill that had already entered his body did not leave, and it was entrenched in his head and slowly spread downwards. Mu Lie felt like a large piece of ice was stuck in his throat, unable to get up and down.

Yin Buchen summoned a silk robe and draped it on the monkeys on the ground. "The emperor has many soldiers, and there are still a few thousand left to kill 90,000. I only have this group of followers, and it is not worth it to freeze one to death."

The robe automatically grew and grew bigger, wrapping more than forty monkeys and Mu Lie inside. It looked light and thin, but it could block the ubiquitous coldness outside. Slowly, the squeaking sounds of the monkeys stopped. Although Mu Lie was so stuffy, he was no longer cold.

"What's going on outside?" Mu Lie's eyes were dark, and his voice was unclear.

Yin Buchen was busy summoning multiple demon weapons to resist the cold, and he couldn't stand it, "Ah... I'm still chanting scriptures. I guess they are about to start. You stay in there honestly, don't have to come out. The battle of the high Taoist priests, you can't see anything with your naked eyes, just listen to me."

"Okay, thank you, Master Yin."

"Don't thank me, thank these monkeys, my robe is for them."

"Thank you, but..."

"But what?"

“They don’t smell very nice.”

"Bah, people's hearts are not enough. Just warm up, and you think they are so tempted?"

"No, no, I didn't dislike it, but... there was a monkey who seemed to be facing me with his butt."

"Haha, then you have to endure it." Yin Buchen summoned more than a dozen demonic weapons and circulated around him from top to top. "The emperor casts spells in the ancestor's tower."

Emperor Ci appeared at the window of the top tower, holding a white staff of five or six feet long in his hand. At the end of the staff was a three-headed statue of god, which was that it was always blooming and brighter at this time.

"God blesses all living beings!" Emperor Ci's voice spread throughout Duanliu City, and the soldiers in the five magic circles could hear it clearly.

"Divine blessing the Talisman Emperor!" The sacrificers guarding the wooden stakes responded in unison. The sound was like muffled thunder. The light breeze turned into strong winds, but the cold became fragmented, sometimes without any.

"Full the ancient god!"

"Get rid of the false and retain the truth!"

...

The words of the Emperor of Ci and the sacrificers, answered accordingly. The sound became louder and louder, and the wind increased accordingly. The broken yin and cold began to gather together, as if they were to form something.

Mu Lie could hardly understand a single sentence and asked anxiously: "What are they talking about? Did the Taoist priest come out? Did Mu Xingqiu take action?"

Yin Buchen was frightened and wanted to retreat, but his tone became stronger, "The time has not come yet. The white staff in the emperor's hand is a bit strange. Let me take a closer look, my god, that's..."

"What is that?" Mu Lie was even more curious and wanted to push away the ground monkey on his body. However, although the coldness around him retreated, the normal coldness in the wind was still biting. The ground monkeys refused to separate, and he did not dare to take risks.

The three statues at the top of the staff of the Emperor of Coral are different. They are not a body, but three bodies. They are tightly attached, and the gap in the middle is filled with the staff. The statues are not as long as a foot, and they are all lifelike, all dressed in Taoist costumes. Two men and one woman, one with a skull, and the other with a thunder character face without facial features. The woman looks like her eyebrows and eyes, and the expression on her face is not like compassion, but more like she is enduring pain.

The statue emitted light, and Yin Buchen could see clearly with his crystal eyes, "Oh my God, there are no hidden Taoist priests, the emperor killed three Taoist priests and turned them into statues!"

Yin Bu punched the wall heavily, "It's really unfair. The demon clan has worked hard for so many years and has not many people who have succeeded in refining Taoist priests into demonic weapons. Why can the human emperor do it?"

Mu Lie could no longer suppress his curiosity and shook off the two monkeys on his head. Although it was cold outside, it was not unbearable. But he could only see the light on the top of the Ancestor Tower. He could not see the appearance of the god statue clearly. "How could the white stick be so small, how could it be turned into by the Taoist priest?"

"What do you know?" Yin Buchen lay on the wall and looked more seriously. "That was definitely a demon weapon. The three Taoist priests were probably killed by him when they were thinking about it. The body was trapped in the stick, and the soul was trapped. This is a method of restraining the soul, and even the demon clan rarely used it. The emperor was so crazy. Why didn't the Taoist priest take action yet?"

Mu Lie was restricted by the naked eye and could not see the evil of the white stick. Only the louder and louder shouts around him made him feel that the magic circle of the Holy Talisman Army was full of weirdness.

The shouting stopped, and Emperor Ci slowly shook the white staff in his hand, and rays of light flew out from it, flying in the air and splitting. Soon, five magic arrays were covered with southeast, west, north, and middle, hanging above everyone's heads, and a ball of light even flew above Yin Buchen and Mu Lie.

"What does this mean?" Yin Buchen was stunned and shouted loudly: "Retract your spell, we are not sacrificers!"

"All living beings are sacrifices!" Emperor Ci's voice became louder. Suddenly, the entire ancestor tower emitted light and merged with the light of the white staff. Emperor Ci pointed the white staff into the air, "Only the true ancient gods, descended to me!"

A huge figure appeared in the air, more than a hundred feet tall, faintly transparent, like an ice sculpture, which was made up of the gathering of yin and cold.

"It turns out that the emperor wants to be a god himself." Yin Buchen finally understood and turned his eyes to the distance. Under the influence of the light of the ancestor tower, his crystal could not see much farther away, and he could not see Mu Xingqiu on the other side of the Jiehe River. "Dao Zun! Dao Zun! Stop waiting, stop the crazy emperor!"

The other side did not respond, and Yin Buchen trembled for a moment, "You won't even miscalculate the Dao Zun, then we're going to fall into the trap and seeking death."

Yin Buchen turned around and looked west. The Western Magic Formation shrouded in pieces was vivid in his mind. On the Xizhao Lake several miles away from the magic Formation, there were only shimmer lights left in the two portals formed by the large light mirror. Yin Buchen felt a little relieved, "It's better if it's still bright, but I won't do this again next time. Wherever Dao Zun goes, where I go, where he goes, it may be more dangerous."

Yin Buchen was worried about gains and losses, and Emperor Ci was ready. He stood on the tower and did not move. The translucent giant in the air spoke, and said in his voice to the east bank of Jiehe: "Mu Xingqiu, thank you for your ancestor tower, but I can't return it to you. It will become a part of me. The true god needs me and it also needs it. As well as the other treasures you and the female Taoist priest have, hand over, they are all mine!"

There was still no sound on Mu Xingqiu, and the big bright mirror on Xizhao Lake did not change at all.

The broken light above the magic circle began to take effect. They did not cut their bodies and released blood, but were sucking everyone's souls.

Yin Buchen felt the powerful magic power from above his head and hurriedly cast spells to protect himself. Seeing Mu Lie and the monkeys all looked dull, he expanded the spell to them and barely saved his soul. "Dao Zun, stop playing, I can't hold on for long."

The huge body in the air became more and more like a physical body, and the soldiers in the magic circle were shaking and falling one by one.

"God is me, I am God!" the giant shouted, stretched out his arms, and grabbed Mu Xingqiu on the east bank and Qin Lingshuang on the west side of the city respectively.

The palm was about to land, and the giant suddenly retracted his arm, hugged his head, and screamed in a loud voice.

Emperor Ci remembered that when he was talking to Mu Xingqiu for a few days, he had gently pressed his forehead. He was in the same position and felt a split headache.

"You can't fight against the real god!"
