The disabled old men are veterans who have retired from the battlefield and are unable to fight again.
The women and children are the remnants of the former city residents.
There were no young and strong men, because almost all the young and strong men in the city had enlisted in the army. They either had gray hair on their temples or had died in battle, leaving behind them in the forest of stele under the lonely city.
Forty years of blood and tears can only be told to the desert.
Now that they have finally left the desert, the old soldiers and the women and children in the city naturally have a lot to talk about.
In addition to recounting the past of the lonely city, a strange thought was lingering in their minds.
Why were the defenders of Anxi Pass so surprised
Didn’t Qiao Shuangsen, the former commander of the Immortal-killing Army, say that Dayan had never forgotten this isolated city and had specially formed an Immortal-killing Army
Now that they have walked out alive, why are these defenders so surprised, as if they had never heard of this isolated remnant of an army
And where is the so-called Immortal-killing Army mentioned by the Qiao family
"Master Bai, Master Bai..." A sergeant reminded the dazed guard, Mrs. Bai:
"Master Bai, I'm sorry, but today's matter is of great importance and must be reported immediately!"
At first, the sergeant didn't believe that an isolated army could hold out in the desert for forty years. But when he saw the faces of the old soldiers and the disabled, elderly, women and children walking out of the stone city, he had to believe it.
"Yes, it should be reported to the court... I will write a letter right away." Mrs. Bai came back to her senses and nodded hoarsely.
"No, Lord Bai... don't report it to the court." The sergeant reminded:
"Have you forgotten?"
"Our Anxi Pass area has been designated as the territory of the King of Qin by the imperial court. The King of Qin has just taken over recently. So the person we should report to is the King of Qin."
"King Qin? That's right." Mrs. Bai nodded.
And at this time.
Captain Hai had already walked to Madam Bai's side and couldn't wait to say:
"grown ups."
"May I ask what the current situation is in Jiuzhou? Have you ever heard of... the Immortal Army?"
"Attack the Immortal Army? What is the Attack the Immortal Army?" Mrs. Bai asked subconsciously.
She was a little dazed and asked this question directly.
Captain Hai's body stiffened, and his expression gradually became bitter.
He should have known...
It's not just Mrs. Bai who is feeling lucky, there's also him.
The questions and answers between the two people also fell into the ears of many soldiers and civilians behind them, making them all suddenly stunned.
The generations of Qiao family who entered the lonely city brought them hope.
So even though the Qiao family members had died in the battle, they still had a deep impression of these Qiao family members in their hearts.
At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd silently.
Qiao Mu had been watching silently from the side without saying a word. He seemed very quiet.
But now he had to speak out.
"Thank you for your hard work." He said in a deep voice:
"I am Qiao Shui. Qiao Shuangsen, Qiao Ruisen, Qiao Ruisen and others are all the younger generations of my clan, and I am here for them."
"My family's younger generations are hot-tempered and impulsive, so they lied to you."
Qiao Mu said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, everyone. Actually, the story of the Immortal Army Extermination has always been fake and never existed."
Fake... fake
Captain Hai and other veteran soldiers were shocked.
At the beginning, the Immortal-killing Army was just a lie woven by Captain Hai and Qiao Shuangsen.
The soldiers and civilians in the isolated city had reached the end of their rope at that time, so even if the Qiao family's acting was a little fake, there were still people who believed it.
Just like the illusion the little match girl saw when she lit the match before she froze to death, no matter how unreal it was, they were willing to believe it.
But the Qiao family acted too realistically.
There is the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" that is still strong and powerful, and there are many times when the Qiao family members broke through the immortal gate formation in the name of attacking the immortal army. These are indeed deeds that surpass the imagination of Hai Duwei and others.
So they really believed it.
Several generations of the Qiao family sacrificed themselves and died on the battlefield to protect them from getting out of the desert. Now Qiao Shui in front of them tells them that the anti-immortal army is fake

It's just a coincidence.
Chapter 219 The truth is the sharpest sword (6k
There has never been any army to attack immortals in this world.
This is the truth.
Rather, this is what should happen.
Going against the trend to attack the immortals is to go against the general trend, and those who dare to do so are naturally a minority among the minority.
Like the sword of the banished immortal.
As a martial arts master forty years ago, his aptitude was amazing, and he even practiced Taoism. However, his energy and blood also declined in his later years. He needed Qiao Mu's nearly a thousand years of skills to help him transform himself into a sword and fight against the Taoist Qingzhuo, the elder of the immortal sect.
Now that the residents of the lonely city have left the desert, the lies that Qiao Mu had told in cooperation with Captain Hai would naturally become unsustainable.
Although several generations of the Qiao family were lying, if everyone thought about it carefully, they could understand that he meant well.
Not to mention, they have already sacrificed their lives for this lie, their blood has been spilled in the sand, and they have turned into a handful of earth.
At this time, the old man who called himself Qiao Shui reunited with Qiao Xiaoming, who was holding the body of the unknown old man from the Qiao family, and the two looked at each other in silence.
The storyteller with clairvoyance also sighed slightly.
"There really is no immortal-killing army in this world. There are only members of the Qiao family who calmly wait for their death."
Qianliyan was born in Tingchao Tower, and even he had never heard of the existence of the Immortal-killing Army, so he had always been skeptical, and now his suspicions have been confirmed.
"The attack on the Immortal Army is a lie. Compared with the current situation in Jiuzhou, this matter is actually a trivial matter." Qianliyan sighed slightly.
What is even more tragic than “We are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?” is that the remaining troops in the isolated city held out for forty years, while the Great Yan court behind them knelt for forty years!
The soldiers and civilians of the isolated city got out of the desert. Although they had a narrow escape from death, Jian Zexian and the Qiao family worked together to open up a way for them to survive.
But what greeted them was not the hope brought by the Immortal-killing Army, nor the magnificent blueprint that Qiao Shuangsen had drawn for them in the past, but the bloody truth.
Da Yan is already rotten.
The 100,000 soldiers forty years ago were the last will of resistance of the Great Yan court.
That is why the defenders of Anxi Pass were so surprised and found it hard to believe what the old soldiers were doing before their eyes.
...
Rest in the sky above the pass, above the clouds.
Taoist Qingzhuo, with a pale face, looked down at Anxi Pass below. All the conditions of the residents and soldiers were reflected in his consciousness.
Although he was frightened away by the Qiao family.
But as an elder of the immortal sect, he would not be afraid of a mere warrior and flee in panic.
He was not escaping. His purpose of taking Jian Zexian away was achieved. As his foundation of Taoism was damaged, he retreated temporarily.
The Baili Desert is the so-called secret realm of the sect created by the immortal sect. Such things naturally cannot be made public, otherwise it may have an adverse effect on the believers' incense.
It would certainly be inappropriate to let the soldiers and civilians of the isolated city leave like this.
So here he is again.
Although he was injured and no longer in peak condition, it was easy for him to kill all the remaining old soldiers and bury them together with this Anxi Pass.
Just as he was about to take action, his eyes fixed on the face of the old man from the Qiao family who called himself Qiao Shui.
"Are there really other members of the Qiao family coming to support us? Or was it because I, the old Taoist priest, was too cautious and steadier and did not act immediately." Taoist Qingzhuo frowned and stopped the magic spell in his hand.
At first, he didn't care about the Qiao family. When Daozhen mentioned the Qiao family to him, he laughed at him for being so narrow-minded and taking an ordinary martial arts family so seriously.
Then, he, the elder of the immortal sect, almost fell into the hands of the Qiao family.
Although he did not die, he was injured and his foundation was damaged. He was no longer at his peak. This was the price he paid for his contempt.
"This can only happen once, not twice..." Taoist Qingzhuo just said this, and then he remembered the second old man from the Qiao family who used the "Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique" to let him temporarily avoid the edge, so he changed his words:
"No, three times is the limit."
The first member of the Qiao family was Qiao Ruosen, who worked together with Jian Zexian to slash out a sword, burning himself to pierce the sky, breaking the immortal sect's formation while also damaging the foundation of Elder Qingzhuo.
At that time, Taoist Qingzhuo thought that such a thing would not happen a second time.
After all, it is hard to find a second fool who is willing to sacrifice himself for others.
Then the second member of the Qiao family came immediately.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped in time.
Now that a third member of the Qiao family has appeared, how could he stand up so easily
After practicing Taoism for more than a thousand years, why would he fight with a mortal warrior who is not even a fraction of his age
Taoist Qingzhuo's foundation is damaged now. Even if there is only a 10% chance that Qiao Shui can threaten him, he is not willing to take the risk.
"Don't be in a hurry. The life span of mortals is short, like a mayfly that is born in the morning and dies in the evening. By the time I come back from my retreat to recuperate, maybe the Qiao family members will have died of old age. I can just outlive him."
Taoist Qingzhuo finally made his choice. He raised the stone sword in his hand, turned into a rainbow light, and flew from the sky above Anxi Pass to the gate of the Dadao Sect.
Although Taoist Qingzhuo was afraid of Qiao Shui and was unwilling to fight him with his injured body, the sect's secret realm "Hundred Miles of Desert" had been forcibly destroyed, which was no small matter.
It is estimated that someone from the Da Dao Sect will arrive soon.
As the elder of the immortal sect who had caused the current situation, Taoist Qingzhuo naturally had to deal with the aftermath of the matter.
..
The Da Dao Sect.
Daozhen landed in front of a palace. In front of the palace was a water mirror that was glowing faintly. In the mirror was a vast desert and a half-collapsed empty city.
In addition to him, there were several other sect deacons present. They frowned as they stared at the scene in the water mirror and talked to each other.
When Elder Qingzhuo ordered the sect's stewards to leave and decided to take action on his own, Daozhen and the others naturally thought that the matter was settled and could be resolved safely.
