The sick villain maxed out the favorability of the protagonist

But there are priorities, and now is not the time to worry too much.

Facing the hundreds of people who were eagerly counting on him, Li Yan immediately shouldered the responsibility of commanding, leading everyone to form a round formation loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and fight and go, temporarily using the new city as the target base——

After all, there is a protective circle there, so why is it better than being exposed to the wild?

At least for everyone who suffered a sudden catastrophe, it can be regarded as a psychological comfort.

But many people think very clearly that the protective circle is really a psychological comfort, and it can't stop those terrible "demon souls" at all!
Yes, as the battle continued, everyone was sure that those transparent monsters were "demon souls".

And they didn't come out of nowhere.

It should be the magic weapon that has always existed in Tianhu Lake. It "drilled" into the bodies of a group of masters through the master recognition ceremony and disturbed their sanity, and then reappeared independently after their death.

To sum up, the nature of demon souls is roughly similar to that of monks, but their appearance is closer to that of ghosts. I am afraid that the reason for their production is also similar to ghosts.

There are indeed ghosts in this world, and the training tasks of the disciples of the orthodox schools include the item of "going out of the mountains to catch ghosts".

A small number of demon monks also know some sorcery to raise ghosts and control ghosts, so the cognition of "ghosts" is not unfamiliar to practitioners.

Generally speaking, ghosts arise from the strong obsession of the living when they are dying, and often require special conditions, so they are not common.

There is a saying that "the soul comes out of the body and becomes a ghost", but it is not entirely true——

The soul is formless and substanceless, existing in the body of every living creature.

Practitioners who cultivate their bodies and souls can seize their bodies and be reborn after reaching the stage of transforming gods, precisely because their souls have reached a stage of qualitative change and can even store spiritual power.

Before the stage of transforming gods, monks, like ordinary people, died in the flesh and died in the soul. A soul without sustenance cannot last forever between heaven and earth.

Even the soul of a cultivator who transforms spirits must find a new body as soon as possible after leaving the body, otherwise it will dissipate like a rootless duckweed after its spiritual power is exhausted.

Ghosts, on the other hand, come in various forms. Monks, mortals, and demons all have the opportunity to "become ghosts" after death:
But just as spirits are not so easy to cultivate, ghosts are not so easy to do.

More importantly, ghosts are different from gods and souls, and cannot be regarded as the advancement or continuation of life.

In fact, rather than saying that "living things become ghosts after death", it is better to say that living things use their obsession to "produce a ghost" at the moment of dying——

Ghosts are a special existence between living and dead things. Most of them do not have a clear mind and their behavior is very patterned.

The attack methods of ghosts are mainly illusions, very few ghosts can cast spells, and they are completely incomparable with spirits.

However, if it exists for a long time, ghosts also have the opportunity to "advanced".

For example, control its "residency" to attack, absorb the aura between heaven and earth to comprehend natal spells, and even "open spiritual wisdom" to have the ability of logical thinking:
But it can also be seen from this that ghosts and the living creatures that produce them are actually two concepts.

At the beginning, ghosts mostly existed because of obsession. Even if they were enlightened later, they were no longer the continuation of the life of the previous living creature, and could even be regarded as a different kind of "relic".

There are many ways to deal with ghosts, the most direct way is to destroy the ghosts' lodgings——

Thinking about it this way, everyone was almost desperate. Those ghosts obviously used the thousands of magic weapons as their sojourns, but how could the magic weapons be destroyed? !
What's worse is that ordinary attack spells can't hit the demon souls, but those demon souls can draw the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells...

I really don't want people to live!

Fortunately, there are still more than a dozen masters with magic weapons, who can barely clear the way for everyone.

There are also some relatively small spells such as soul binding and trapping ghosts, which can also cause some obstacles to the demon souls. In this way, hundreds of people fled back to Tianhu New City in a panic.

In the process of escaping for his life, the most outstanding performance was naturally Li Yan. He first ignored the past and took care of the overall situation.

After that, he commanded well, arranged the formation and route properly, and what is even more admirable is his strength——

Needless to say, the Burning Sun and Moon Ring, the Trapped God Locking Soul Chain is truly stunning——

It can be called the most effective spell against demon souls, and the effect is even better than some people's magic weapons!

As it should be, everyone looked at Li Yan more and more eagerly.

Especially when they returned to Tianhu New City, Li Yan personally improved the protective circle according to the prohibition principle he left in the underwater maze back then.

Barely being able to block those demon souls flying all over the sky, he finally bought time for the big guy to breathe, and further established his unshakable "backbone" status.

Jiang Anning is so proud and worried that her man is so outstanding——

Are there so many people who want to hug Li Yan's thighs, and even shamelessly recommend themselves as pillows? !
A huge transparent mask protects the entire Tianhu New City. Dozens of arm-thick golden chains are criss-crossed on the mask, like a fishing net and a prison.

Hundreds of monsters with grotesque shapes and hideous appearances were diving down from the midair one after another.

Their bodies were stuck in the hollow space between the chains and chains, struggling endlessly, hitting the light shield until it wavered and crumbled.

If you look down from a high altitude, this city is like a trapped cocoon, struggling desperately.

The monks on the streets of the city came and went in a hurry, all with the same gloomy and gloomy expressions.

All kinds of healing pills on the pavement were sold out in a few moments.

Talismans or treasures that have a little restraint effect on souls and ghosts have become priceless treasures. Many people want to go bankrupt to buy one, but only a few desperate fools are selling it.

The survivors who escaped just now are still in shock. The question they think about the most is naturally how to save their lives. As for how to deal with the demon spirit...

So profound questions should be left to the big shots to worry about.

But at this moment, the surviving figures of Zhengmo and Zhengmo gathered in Tianyuanzong's posthouse, indeed they were all worried, but not necessarily because of the demon soul.

In the meeting hall, the surviving elders of the various sects of the righteous way were carefully currying favor with Master Qingyuan.

Thinking of the scene where they yelled at the old man with one sentence and one sentence before, these people's hearts were filled with annoyance and apprehension.

"Reverend Qingyuan, regarding the matter of the demon spirits making trouble... May I ask what rules you have?"

They echoed each other and said a lot of good things, but they didn't see any reaction from Master Qingyuan, and finally someone couldn't help but get straight to the point.
