My Master Knows It All

"But Master, this place is so desolate; there's nothing here," Duo Duo looked at the desolate city ahead of her and said, "Perhaps we should go to a more prosperous city to experience the life of mortals?"

Next to her, Zhu Peng heard her and immediately exclaimed, "Let's go to the Capital City, I've heard from a fellow disciple that it's a wonderful place!"

"You even know about the Capital City." After pondering for a moment, Cao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Very well, then let us head to the Capital City."

As the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, he too wished to visit the Capital City.

Soon, the group steered their flying boat towards the Capital City.

Over the years, the various Immortal Sects in the Eastern Wasteland hadn't engaged in battles, and the dynasties hadn't warred against each other either. The people of the Eastern Wasteland had been growing increasingly prosperous, especially as they neared the Capital City, the cities became more flourishing.

"Up ahead is the Capital City now; although it's already evening, the nights in the Capital City are bustling too. Many of the dynasties' cities we've passed have curfews, but the Capital City has excellent public order and there's never a curfew…"

On the flying boat, Cao Zhen was about to share more about the peculiarities of the Capital City with his two disciples when suddenly, a thick scent of blood wafted over.

"This scent, this is the scent of the Blood River; such a strong scent—could it be the Blood River outside the Capital City?"

These past years, since the various Immortal Sects had not fought and there were no disturbances from Demon Sects, even though demonic beasts would appear in the various Blood Rivers within the Eastern Wasteland, they were quickly suppressed, and the Blood Rivers hadn't caused much impact.

However, now, he sensed an overpoweringly bloodthirsty scent.

Theoretically, even though the Blood River outside the Capital City was large, it was suppressed by a formation. Even if blood-colored demonic beasts occasionally burst forth, such an intense bloodthirsty scent should not be present.

Unless the formation that suppressed the Blood River had been broken!

But now, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty had no enemies left; the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect, even remnants of the former dynasty, had all gone into hiding. Even if they gathered, they couldn't stir up any trouble.

After all, although most people from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty's Immortal Sects had left, the Grand Preceptor still had four Golden Core Stage disciples, and Yu Tuoyu was still guarding the Capital City.

How could the formation of the Blood River have been breached by anyone?

"Quick, let's go up ahead and take a look."

Cao Zhen stored away the flying boat and led the group swiftly toward where the stench of blood was pervading.

After a short flight, he saw that outside the Capital City, columns of blood-light soared into the sky.

As they got closer, he could already see that the Great Formation that had once suppressed the Blood River around the massive Blood River outside the Capital City had now been destroyed.

The Blood River, like boiling water, churned unceasingly; countless torrents of blood rose into the sky like long blood-colored dragons, as if trying to break through the heavens.

Above the Blood River, a dense blood mist gathered, seemingly ready to envelop the entire Capital City. From afar, he could feel a choking, itchy, bloodthirsty scent.

Amid the Blood River, huge blood-colored demonic beasts with full bodies of tentacles, some as tall as ten zhang, some shaped like long snakes, and some like giant bears, bizarrely also had tails covered in scales.

At this moment, among these beasts of the Blood River, a figure holding a long halberd continuously swung it, slaughtering the beasts one after another.

Yu Tuoyu!

She was a being of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and even among those, she was extremely strong.

By her side were the disciples left to her by her senior brother.

Besides her, another Golden Core Stage disciple of the Grand Preceptor, also leading disciples, was slaughtering one beast after another.

The Grand Preceptor had left four Golden Core Stage disciples, all of whom were of Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and moreover, the four were very evenly matched in their formidable strength.

However, at this moment, Yu Tuoyu and another of the Grand Preceptor's disciples were being pushed back increasingly, as there were far too many demonic beasts in the Blood River.

Hadn't the Grand Preceptor left four Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection disciples? Why were there only Yu Tuoyu and another person—what about the Grand Preceptor's other two disciples? Now that the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty was very peaceful, they shouldn't have needed to leave the Capital City to suppress elsewhere.

Just as Cao Zhen was contemplating this doubt, as he moved forward, he finally saw the gates of the Capital City.

The gates of the Capital City, even at night, were never closed.

But now, the gates of the Capital City were tightly shut. Outside the city gate, several Golden Core Stage cultivators, under the lead of two Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivators, firmly guarded the gate.

And opposite them were zombie soldiers!

Zombie Soldiers!

Damn it, it was Zombie Soldiers!

Cao Zhen saw a countless number of zombie soldiers; from afar, they seemed like ants - dense and innumerable, their edges not visible at a glance.

At this moment, these zombie soldiers were furiously attacking the Capital City.

Moreover, in the front of these zombie soldiers, there were corpse generals emitting chilling, bizarre, and terrifying auras!

Back when they of the Hundred Peaks Sect faced an attack from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, and remnants of the former dynasty, he had no extra strength to deal with Helian Baitian and their coffins.

Later, when he had time to revisit the issue, he discovered that more than sixty coffins had turned empty. That meant that over sixty corpse generals had escaped, but he had never found the whereabouts of these corpse generals.
