The light and flames faded away, and the sky became like a clean mirror, so clear that not a single flaw could be seen. Only the bright moon and thousands of stars remained.
A large number of city walls and streets collapsed, and many houses along the streets were still burning with flames, but all the demons and ghosts that had invaded the city had disappeared.
In the streets and houses, many people in the city still didn't know what had happened. They only felt that after a flash of white light, those terrible demons and mountain ghosts disappeared. The whole Fengyang City was so quiet that it was a little scary.
It was different outside the city. There was wailing everywhere. The cultivation and demonic energy of tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers were deprived in an instant. The stronger ones died faster. Those generals were reduced to ashes the moment the righteous energy swept through them. On the contrary, those barbarian soldiers with low cultivation or even those who had just cultivated demonic energy survived.
"Ah! My head, my magic powers..." Someone held his head and wailed, the demonic energy was stripped from his body, just like flesh and blood were torn from the body.
"Where is the team leader? Where is Captain Wang?" Many people got up from the ground and saw wailing everywhere outside the city. Everyone fell down where the white light hit. Only then did they get up from the ground one by one in pain, and then the Yi soldiers looked for their own team leaders.
"Dead, all dead!"
"There is a powerful person in the city! The General who conquered the East was also killed in the battle!"
Someone saw everything that happened before and shouted in disbelief and pain.
"The general is dead too?"
"All the vanguards in the city were wiped out, and the Yin Gui Guards and the vanguard troops were all trapped inside."
These foreign soldiers no longer had the will to continue fighting. Seeing that the situation was not good, many of them immediately exchanged glances with each other and quietly retreated to the rear.
At this time, not only was there wailing outside the city, but people inside the city were also resting and at a loss. The Fengyang County Lieutenant, who had originally planned to counterattack and pursue the enemy, led the troops to fight against the mountain ghost army when the barbarian soldiers entered the city, but was killed by the enemy's vanguard general.
At this moment, the guards in the city had no idea what was happening, and they were unable to launch a quick and effective counterattack. Instead, because there were many remaining soldiers trapped in the city, they attracted the attention of the guards and for a while they had no time to pay attention to the outside of the city.
After someone took the lead, everyone fled in all directions. The navy docked in Fengyang Lake came into play at this time and became the last chance for these foreign soldiers to retreat, but it also completely announced the defeat of the entire Yeting Kingdom.
The army outside the city began to evacuate, or it could not be called an evacuation at all, they just fled in panic. Many people even threw away their armor and swords and ran towards the distant Fengyang Lake at a speed, fearing that if they ran too slowly, the powerful people in the city would react and leave all of them here.
At this time, the guards in the city cleared out the remaining soldiers in the city and chased them madly outside the city. Before, these people had attacked Fengyang County fiercely, and the guards in the city didn't even see the foreign soldiers outside the city. Countless people died, and now they were all holding back their anger.
"Go! Don't let them get away!"
"Military merits, skills, and elixirs are all in front. Kill these barbarian soldiers and you will get them all."
"The imperial court offered a reward during the war, a reward for killing a foreigner..."
Outside the city, piled everywhere were various tools that had been used to attack the city, including crossbows, flint carts, siege engines, etc., which were now discarded like garbage.
A large number of foreign soldiers were frantically gathering towards Fengyang Lake. More than 20 million people were blocked by the lake. One by one, they rushed directly into the lake and climbed directly onto the boats. The water was filled with human heads.
"They're catching up! The Great Zhou army is catching up." Many people in the water turned around and saw a large number of Fengyang County soldiers on the shore rushing towards Fengyang Lake with red eyes.
The moonlight was bright, and one could even see some second-level warriors walking on the wind, leaping dozens of meters in one step and rushing to the front.
"It's no use, hurry up and sail the boat, hurry up and sail the boat!" When the people on the boat saw the situation, they immediately shouted in horror.
"Sail the boat for me!"
Those who had not yet boarded the ship were even more panicked. The way to board the ship in front was blocked, and the hungry wolves seeking revenge from behind were approaching with knives in hand.
"Wait for me, I haven't gone up yet!"
"You sons of bitches, wait for me!"
"Let me go up first!"
"Get out of my way! Die!"
"Hurry up, damn, if I die, you won't be able to live either."
Many people cursed in despair, angrily swearing at those who got on the boat first and ran the fastest. Many even drew their swords against those who blocked them from getting on the boat and killed each other.
Finally, when the fleet of Yeting Kingdom was pursued by thousands of guards of Fengyang County, it had already set sail. Dozens of warships of different sizes fled Fengyang County under the moonlight and stars.
The remaining thousands of people were abandoned where they were and surrounded.
At this moment, it seems that the previous action of killing the Water God of Fengyang Lake was very foresighted. If the Water God of Fengyang Lake was only imprisoned or sealed before, if the Water God made any move at this time, the entire boat division and everyone would have to die here.
However, even if these barbarian soldiers escaped, they would be of no use. Their magic power was destroyed, and it would take an unknown amount of time to recover it. A large number of high-ranking generals were killed, which directly damaged the vitality of the Yeting Kingdom. The army behind them could not expect to do anything.
Everyone in the city breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The entire Fengyang County and Fengyang City had been saved. In a hurry to deal with the army of the Yeting Kingdom, a great demon cultivator in the realm of possession, and even immortal weapons and the Dao domain appeared.
Under such circumstances, the fact that Fengyang City can still survive can be regarded as a blessing from heaven.
Taoist Yuyan, a Taoist who was in the realm of immortality, even felt that he had gone through several reincarnations between life and death. Especially when the Great Dao Domain appeared, he thought that Fengyang City was doomed. He did not expect that there was one last trick left in the sage's map.
"The power of a saint is simply unfathomable. A painting has such power."
Taoist Yuyan looked at Zou Hongjun, the headmaster of Fengyang Academy, and said, "Thanks to the intervention of the headmaster of the academy. Otherwise, Fengyang City and the entire county would have been devastated, and I don't know how many people would have been displaced by this disaster."
The Fengyang County Magistrate also nodded and saluted Zou Hongjun: "The governor is very righteous. I will keep your words in mind for the people of Fengyang City."
At this time, a red light shone brightly outside the door, and a god in a divine robe walked out from outside the door, holding a long scroll in his hand. It was the City God of Fengyang. He did not speak, but stood directly in front of Zou Hongjun, bowed slightly, and held up the scroll of fairy painting.
Zou Hongjun showed a look of regret and heartache in his eyes, and he carefully took back the Picture of Fairy Palace Under the Moon. The picture no longer had the aura of the sun, and it looked dim and even the ink on it showed signs of partial dissolution.
For a painting, this thing was equivalent to being destroyed, but Zou Hongjun still carefully put it away and cherished it as before.
“Although this item has lost its power and the Dao rhyme left by Feng Sheng, it can now be hung in the academy for students to admire without worrying about someone coveting it and leaving it in an empty room.”
“Maybe this will be better!”
Although the siege of Fengyang City has been lifted, the invasion of the Yi Kingdom has not yet ended. Chang and Teng are still under heavy siege and attack. The prefect of Fengyang City and the newly appointed county lieutenant immediately summoned county military schools from various counties to lead troops. They were caught off guard by the Yi people before, and now that the Yeting Kingdom was defeated, Fengyang County has become the fatal point of the Yi army.
