C514

The voices of the citizens on the stairs grew closer and closer. From the top of the stairs, the citizens could be clearly seen.

The members of the special combat troops had lowered their breathing, and hid themselves in their hiding spots, trying their best to hide themselves.

As the crowd on the stairs moved closer and closer to the ground.

The atmosphere in the sky seemed to have changed, as though it had become heavy.

The special combat squad stared fixedly at the citizens on the stairs.

It was like a tiger hunting its prey, waiting for its prey to slowly approach.

He then threw himself forward and killed the prey in one blow.

At this moment, the distance between the citizens and the ground was still ten steps wide. Some of the citizens with higher cultivation bases seemed to feel a different aura permeating the air.

It was so quiet that it was as if no one was around.

They all stopped and looked around, but they didn't see anything.

"Brother, what are you stopping to look at? Let's go."

"That's right, why are you standing there? We're only a few steps away."

The people who had stopped were being pulled towards the ground by the people beside them.

They were almost there, but they were still looking around blankly.

The people who were dragged back still stood there unmoving, not being pulled back by the people around them.

Instead, he asked everyone a question.

"Didn't you notice how quiet it was?"

"Is the silence a little eerie?"

When the surrounding people heard this, they all stopped and looked at their surroundings.

Only now did they realize that the ground was indeed so quiet that it was extremely depressing. It was so quiet that even the air seemed to be filled with a strange aura, as if there was something in front of them, waiting for them.

Just when everyone was still observing their surroundings, why was it so strange?

Taoist Cheng saw that the citizens had stopped, and jumped from the back of the stairs, to the side, and then to the back of the citizens.

They were able to block it, giving the commoners a chance to escape.

At this moment, the special combat troops had all appeared from their hiding spots and surrounded the people on the stairs.

The commoners who were still on the stairs saw the sudden appearance of a member of the government.

He finally knew why the surroundings were so quiet. It seemed like the government officials had surrounded the area.

They were waiting for them to descend to the ground so that they could be captured in one fell swoop.

The crowd on the stairs looked at the troops from the government in front of them and immediately turned around to rush back to the palace in Mount Shu.

However, just as they turned around, they saw that there was someone standing behind them, blocking their path.

Furthermore, they had not discovered how this person managed to appear behind them. This was truly a terrifying place.

Everyone found themselves in a situation where there was a tiger before them and a wolf behind them.

They were unable to advance or retreat in a short period of time. No one was in a hurry to do so. They only watched the officials quietly and did not ask why the officials were surrounding them.

When the members of the special forces saw that the Taoist Cheng did not give any orders, they did not rush up to subdue the citizens.

Taoist Cheng looked at the crowd and said coldly.

"Tell me everything you've experienced in the palace of Mount Shu. I promise I will not make things difficult for you."

The crowd heard this official who had appeared behind them unknowingly.

They actually wanted to ask about the matter regarding Mount Shu Palace.

Suddenly, he felt a burst of anger rising from his heart. He glared angrily at Taoist Cheng, it was truly despicable.

All of us risked our lives to enter Mount Shu's palace and survive.

He learned some secrets from Mount Shu Palace.

The people of the government were actually spread out on the ground, waiting for us to rush out of Mount Shu to trap them.

After that, he asked us about the situation in Mount Shu's palace.

Why didn't you send someone to check it out yourself, and instead waited for us to come out of Mount Shu's palace?

Just by surrounding us, he had planned to directly use force.

There was no room for negotiation.

When the crowd thought of this, the officials actually wanted to know what we knew inside Mount Shu's palace without using any force.

Everyone clenched their fists and gritted their teeth as they glared at Taoist Cheng.

He looked at the people around him.

The people with the highest cultivation in the crowd suppressed their voices to the point that only their own group could hear them and speak to the people around them.

"How about we all charge forward at the same time? There's only one person ahead and it's impossible to stop them all. We have so many people."

"As long as we can reach the top of Mount Shu Palace, the government officials would not dare to touch us."

"We risked our lives to obtain this information, yet we gave it to the government just like that. I'm not willing to die just like that."

"We can't let them get away with this, officials."

After everyone heard this, they all agreed with this brother's words.

Nodding their heads, they all started to secretly practice their cultivation techniques.

He was prepared to charge forward and fight a great battle with the Taoist Cheng at any time.

After which, they fled towards the palace of Mount Shu.

Taoist Cheng looked at the citizens. After hearing his words, he seemed to want to fight back.

They were all secretly operating their martial arts, slowly gathering energy from their feet.

It was as if he was ready to charge up and fight her at any moment.

Taoist Cheng looked at the crowd in front of him and smiled slightly.

He slowly released his aura.

Attack the people in front of him!

Just as they were about to charge up and knock down the officials in front of them, they rushed towards the palace of Mount Shu.

Suddenly, they felt a baleful aura attack them.

Immediately, he felt his entire body shudder. How could such a fearsome aura have appeared?

Everyone broke out in cold sweat as they looked at this official in front of them.

This aura came from his body.

Why was his aura so terrifying?

Just what level had his cultivation reached?

Looking at the smiling man in front of them, the officials looked like they had turned into Shura of the Night, radiating killing intent.

No one dared to charge forward anymore.

So this was the ferocious tiger, while the government troops under the ground were the wolves.

Taoist Cheng looked at the citizens who were drenched in cold sweat.

He took a step forward, his momentum slowly increasing.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them. The officials took a step forward and the atmosphere became even heavier.

They also took two steps back.

Everyone's back was drenched in sweat.

Taoist Cheng continued to walk forward.

The citizens had no choice but to retreat as well, unable to resist at all.

It was because everyone felt that the official in front of them had the strength to instantly kill them.

At this moment, everyone was forced to the ground by the government officials in front of them, leaving the staircase.
