Chapter 1262 The Most Suitable Weapon for Dealing with Evil Demons
That night, two major events occurred in Wuwei City.
First, the city lord of Wuwei, Duke Wuwei, publicly declared his allegiance to the human emperor Suixuchu, who had been dead for 30,000 years.
Secondly, the city lord of Wuwei, under the pretext of training elite troops, led more than a hundred elite soldiers out of the city to hunt evil demons in preparation for war.
These two pieces of news came extremely suddenly, instantly shaking the entire city of Wuwei and causing countless people in the city to discuss them.
Quite a few people know the name Sui Xuchu. The recent suspected birth of Sui Xuchu has garnered even more attention.
Even with so much attention, for most people, events from 30,000 years ago are still far too distant. So distant that many only learned about them today.
The beginning of the year.
He was once the Purple Star Emperor!
But after the initial surprise came overwhelming joy.
"There were rumors some time ago that Senior Sui had appeared in our Wuwei City. Now it seems that he not only appeared, but also directly subdued our Wuwei City!"
"That's the Purple Star Emperor, the true and legitimate one!"
"Hahaha, with the Ziwei Emperor and our Wuwei City Lord, we Wuwei City probably don't need to worry about the upcoming Ziwei Rebellion anymore. Whether it's the Southern Lord or the Northern Lord, they were both once the Emperor's subordinates. Won't they dare to cause trouble now?"
"The city lord is about to leave the city to train the troops, so we also need to cultivate diligently!"
"The great battle will probably begin soon. We must increase our strength and not let the city lord down!"
Most of the people of Wuwei City were not worried after hearing the news. Instead, they were eager to prepare for the great battle that might come at any time.
The last siege by the evil demons has united the city's inhabitants, giving them an indomitable spirit.
With the increasingly stringent conscription and preparations recently, even a fool would know that a war is bound to break out in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. So when they heard that their city lord had pledged allegiance to the new Emperor Ziwei, no one was worried; on the contrary, they became even more excited.
They were not afraid of war; in fact, they longed for it to come.
but.
In contrast to the excitement of most people in Wuwei City, the situation was quite different when the news of Wuwei City spread to the other eleven cities of Ziwei Enclosure through various channels.
Some people, eager to join the Emperor's ranks, sent messages to Wuwei City.
Some people were filled with fear and unease, worried that the Emperor's next big move would implicate them.
Some people were furious, feeling that 30,000 years had passed and Sui Xu Chu was no longer the Ziwei Emperor. Even if he were true, he was not worthy of commanding them.
Many others remained skeptical, believing that since Sui Xu Chu had been dead for 30,000 years and his body was still suppressed, it was impossible for him to be resurrected.
But whatever the reaction.
Despite the constant stream of messages heading towards Wuwei City, everyone was eager to contact the Duke of Wuwei and gather more information.
It's just a pity.
Their news was destined to be lost forever.
Because the Duke of Wuwei had already left the city overnight to guard the location of the gap in the altar, other matters of Wuwei City were handed over to Chao Wu for management, with the assistance and coordination of the Duke of Wuwei's son, Zhong Boyuan.
It is worth mentioning that...
Zhong Boyuan's murder of the city lord's family and destruction of the Wuwei Hall were secrets unknown to outsiders. Most people simply thought that the former city lord's heir had returned to power and had no aversion to him.
Moreover, Zhong Boyuan did a really good job.
His former military and divine cultivation was destroyed, but he did not give up. Instead, he obtained the inheritance of the School of Diplomacy. Although he did not have much practical combat ability, he was good at commanding troops and managing internal affairs. His prestige gradually increased.
Many people even said that he would definitely be a good city lord in the future.
However, these matters are no longer Gu Xiu's concern.
Five hundred miles southwest of Wuwei City, Gu Xiuzheng and Shi Siling were traveling together in a flying boat at high speed.
Flying boats are actually not suitable for use in the Three Enclosures Sea of Evil.
Not to mention the considerable energy consumption of the flying boat, given the scarcity of spiritual energy in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin, it would be difficult to sustain without a large amount of spirit stones to fill the gaps. More importantly, the gray fog is teeming with monstrous demons, and flying vessels, which lack much defensive capability, are easily besieged by them.
but……
These issues are not problems for Gu Xiu at present.
Airships consume a lot of energy, but it depends on what you're comparing them to.
Compared to warships, which consume a lot of spiritual energy, flying boats consume only so much. At least with Gu Xiu's reserves of spiritual stones, driving a flying boat is not a problem, which is why he chose to use a flying boat instead of a warship.
Furthermore, Gu Xiu is also trying to improve the flying boat so that it can be driven not only by spiritual power, but also by source power or divine power. Ideally, it would be driven by gray mist, but this is just a concept. No one can explain what gray mist is yet, so it is still just a research project for now.
As for the attacks from the evil demons, that's even easier to deal with.
Shi Siling didn't know what kind of inheritance she had obtained, but with her around, not only could she not be attacked by evil demons, but even if she encountered a powerful enemy, she could call upon the evil demons to help her fight back. With such a great opportunity, there was naturally no need to waste time on the ground.
The airship was quite leisurely.
The two little ones, Du Xianjian and Xiaoyao Pei, were not very mature and had not been born for long. They were carefree and played around. As soon as Gu Xiu released them, they ran around on the flying boat, chasing and dodging each other, having a great time and knowing nothing about worries.
Even broken stars look dashing.
It was maneuvering the Xuanwu Battle Armor, leisurely sitting on a specially made large chair at the bow of the ship, holding a spiritual fruit that was similar to a coconut, with a hollow rice stalk stuck in it.
As I savored the spiritual fruit juice, watching the wicked demons stumbling along the rugged mountain path below, a sense of pride welled up within me.
Recently, it has been having some random, chaotic memories pop up from time to time. They are so messy that it can't sort them out, but it probably guesses that it might have really been something special in the past, which further solidifies its position as the leader of the Four Great Saints.
On the entire airship, only Gu Xiu was busy.
He was using his spiritual power to communicate with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, turning blank sheets of paper into various talismans.
There aren't any particularly rare high-level talismans; most are quite common.
Flame Talisman, Explosion Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman, Water Arrow Talisman, Entangling Talisman, Shield Talisman...
This is what Gu Xiu thought was most suitable for the Three Enclosures of Sin and Sea.
After all, the evil demons are endless and fearless. Not to mention ordinary people, even powerful gods would perish if they were caught in them. The battle between the two sides is actually a human millstone, where they wear each other down.
But the evil demons can't be killed all of them. It's not worth exchanging a living person for an evil demon's life. The best way is to use other methods to wear down the evil demons.
Coincidentally, of the six realms, only two are best used for consumption.
Puppet and talisman.
Making an army of puppets is no joke; this is the way the Mohist Divine Path works. However, this method requires the creation of a large number of puppets, which not only demands high-quality materials but also requires the help of many experts to control them.
But talismans are different.
This thing has no limitations. In particular, Gu Xiu specially modified it for the situation of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. Anyone with a little bit of divine foundation can easily activate the talisman and immediately blast a whole area.
Although even high-level evil demons require high-level talismans from the Divine Guiding Talisman to kill, talismans are definitely powerful tools for killing demons below the fifth rank.
As long as there are enough talismans.
Even a massive army would have to kneel before the talisman.
After all, low-level demonic creatures are not much different from demonic beasts, except that they are physically stronger and more bloodthirsty, but they have no brains. They just charge forward without hesitation and will not retreat even if all their companions are killed.
Using talismans is just right.
If one talisman isn't enough, then use ten.
If ten talismans aren't enough, then a hundred will do!
Gu Xiu even mused that if they were to go to war with the evil demons in the future, he would have each frontline soldier carry a sack of talismans and just keep throwing them out. Once they were all thrown out, the next batch of soldiers would take over.
Using talismans to cleanse the ground is absolutely superb.
The only problem with this method is that it consumes a lot of resources. However, now that Gu Xiu's cultivation level has improved and he has the Xuan power of the Great Dao Immortal Book to enhance his abilities, making talismans is much easier than before. Even without the help of the little black monkey's puppet army, the speed is not slow.
If you concentrate on making talismans, you can easily make tens of thousands of talismans in about 15 minutes.
Finally, the only concern is whether the talisman materials can sustain the process.
However, this is not considered urgent.
Gu Xiu originally carried a lot of finished talismans with him, which were intended for Wanbaolou, but Wan Xiaobei did not want them. When she learned that he was coming to the Sanyuan Niehai, she also asked someone to send a large batch of blank talisman paper and various talisman inks, so there was no need to worry about not having enough talisman materials for a while.
So much so that when Gu Xiu left Wuwei City, he generously left them three million talismans.
Of course, it's not a good idea to just sit around and do nothing.
Gu Xiu also planned to search in the Three Realms Sea of Sin to see if there were any alternative materials for making talismans. If all else failed, he would try to contact Hao Yu and ask him to help prepare a batch.
While Gu Xiu was busy making a large number of talismans, Shi Siling stayed by his side the whole time.
At first, Gu Xiu was busy, and Shi Siling insisted on grabbing onto his clothes. After much persuasion, she finally stopped clinging to him.
But Gu Xiu must also be within her sight.
Gu Xiu initially didn't want to pay attention to her. He and Qingxuan had severed all ties, and he had no interest in having much contact with Qingxuan's people.
Seeing the look in her eyes, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner, Gu Xiu finally let her be. As long as she didn't get in his way and didn't seem hostile, he wouldn't bother with her.
Of course, Gu Xiu could no longer trust her.
The flying boat traveled for five days. When Gu Xiu had produced five million talismans, the gray fog that had been obscuring their vision finally disappeared.
Finally, the space opened up.
