Chapter 457
Hearing this, Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. "The Desolate God Sect has been slandering me for a long time, but compared to the army of the Central Plains, they can't do much."
"Don't underestimate them." The High Priest shook his head, "There is a Desolate God Valley in the Youzhou, so it has always been the headquarters of the Desolate God Sect. Their followers here are far more than you and I can imagine."
"Furthermore, the current leader of the Desolate God Sect, Dongfang Zhen, has been to the Southern Mountains before. I have interacted with him before, and he is a very troublesome person."
"Oh?" Gu Chen's expression became more solemn. To be able to make the High Priest say that he was troublesome, his strength was definitely not weak.
His impression of the Desolate God Sect had always been those idiots who had entered the Desolate God Valley to commit suicide. He had never understood the higher ups of the sect.
"That Dongfang Zhen is an expert of the late stage of the Heaven Realm, and he believes in the Desolate God. It seems that he has grasped some kind of mysterious power that belongs to the Desolate God."
The high priest loosened his grip on his crutch, bent down, and lifted his trousers at his thighs.
What entered Gu Chen's eyes was an extremely sinister wound!
Although the High Priest was already old, and his body was shriveled and smaller than the average Ape Clan, his exposed leg was even more withered and skinny, as if it was just a layer of skin wrapped around his bones.
There was also a wound on his thigh. Although it had already healed, the flesh looked like it had rotted, and there was even a rotten smell coming from it.
"I have fought with many saints in my life, but only this wound, even after so many years, still hurts faintly!"
The High Priest said with a serious expression.
When he was young, he was once ranked number one in the Ape Clan, and was even more glorious than the current Sun Jinming.
However, the battle with the Desolate God Sect's Dongfang Zhen was something that he could not forget. Even now, his wound had not healed, and he needed to use a walking stick all year round.
This kind of secret was something that outsiders did not know. Now that he had taken the initiative to say it, everyone had a direct understanding of the degree of danger that Dongfang Zhen was.
"High Priest, I understand what you mean. I will be careful of the Desolate God Sect."
Gu Chen engraved the High Priest's reminder in his heart.
The next day, the allied forces of the five clans ended their many days of rest and reorganization, officially marching towards the Azure Province in a mighty manner!
With the addition of the Thousand Refinements Sacred Sect and the various local forces of Youzhou led by the East Vanquishing King, the allied forces were even stronger than before. Wherever they passed, they were like a torrent of steel, causing the earth to tremble.
The Alliance Flag and Dragon Phoenix Flag fluttered among the army. Every time they passed by a city, a large number of commoners would line the streets to welcome them.
Gu Chen, Princess Lanchu, and many key generals stood on the Patrol Battleship. Behind them were dozens of battleships, and they became the focus of the entire world.
His spirit pierced through the rainbow and won the hearts of the people!
The Tyrant's reputation of upholding the royal family and eliminating treacherous officials had firmly occupied the position of righteousness.
"The world of mortals is like a prison, and all living things are suffering! Reincarnation never ends, suffering never ends! "
Suddenly, a series of crisp bells rang out on the path of the allied army.
Thousands of ascetics dressed in hemp clothes with strange tattoos on their faces came barefoot, blocking part of the army's path as they chanted loudly.
"Take pity on the people of the world, a god will descend from the heavens! Infinite Aragami, send me home! "
The strange chanting gradually grew louder, and groups of ascetics appeared from various parts of the army. They gathered towards the army and seriously affected the speed of the army.
"What's going on?"
Many generals of the allied army looked into the distance. When they saw clearly what kind of people were blocking the way, their expressions changed.
"Your Majesty, they are from the Aragami Cult. How should we deal with them?"
The Green Qilin Killing God stood beside Gu Chen and asked solemnly.
Gu Chen frowned. The High Priest had just reminded him yesterday, and he didn't expect the Aragami Cult to come and cause trouble today.
Compared to the millions of people in the allied army, the Aragami Cult only had tens of thousands of people. They were nothing more than lice.
However, how to deal with them was a problem. This cult had a great influence in Youzhou. If they killed them without mercy, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Chase them away!"
Gu Chen said. The best way to deal with this group of lunatics was to ignore them.
The order was passed down, and soon, troops surged out from the battle formation to drive away the followers of the Aragami Cult.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred at this moment!
"Infinite Aragami, send me home!"
Some of the followers of the Aragami Cult shouted loudly. The moment the allied army advanced, they suddenly self-destructed!
Boom, boom, boom!
The followers of the Aragami Cult were carrying forbidden talismans on them. Using themselves as bait, they launched a suicidal attack when they got close to the allied army!
No one thought that someone would be so crazy, and the number of people who were crazy reached tens of thousands!
For a moment, chaos broke out in all directions of the allied army. Thousands of soldiers were killed or injured!
"A bunch of lunatics!"
Many generals were enraged. On the Sky Patrol Warship, Gu Chen's expression turned even uglier.
What was the Aragami Cult trying to do with such a premeditated large-scale attack?
Before he could think about it, a huge phantom appeared in the void far away!
It was a middle-aged man dressed in linen clothes. His face and arms were full of scars. He let out a thunderous voice to the huge allied army.
"The Overlord is a jinx from the heavens. You will suffer the wrath of the Aragami if you join him!"
"It's Dongfang Zhen." The High Priest raised his head to look at the phantom and said solemnly.
Gu Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent. He immediately spread out his divine sense!
Not only him, many of the killing gods and demon sages of the allied army also acted immediately, wanting to find the other party's position.
This madman not only sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of followers, but also caused many casualties in the allied army!
"What are you hiding for, come out!"
Gu Chen's voice was like thunder, the anger in his words was not concealed at all!
In the attack just now, a large number of innocent soldiers had died in vain. Even the ordinary people who were close to the army were affected!
"Overlord, you are a jinx. There is no need to worry. I will kill you and use your life to deliver all living beings from suffering!"
Dongfang Zhen sneered, "All the people of Youzhou, listen up. From today onwards, anyone who walks with the Overlord will be disobeying the decree of the Aragami Cult. My Aragami Cult will send down heavenly punishment!"
After he finished speaking, the phantom pointed to a small city not too far away. It was called Descendant City.
When the allied army passed by Descendant City, they were warmly welcomed by the common people.
"The 055,555 citizens of Descendant City welcome the Overlord. For your ignorance and foolishness, you have violated the will of the Aragami. I hereby send down the wrath of the heavens!"
After he finished speaking, from the direction of Descendant City, a heaven-shaking explosion sounded out!
Boom –
The entire city was submerged in a sudden storm of flames and energy. Billowing black smoke rose up, turning into a mushroom cloud in the sky!
