"What? How could this be..." Xiao Jie was taken aback, but he quickly recovered, could it be that this was the real goal of the Pantheon all along?

Building a plank road in the open while secretly crossing the Chencang, and doing it twice in a row, creating a pile of Disguisers outside, seemingly to summon the Ghost King and attack the Soul Suppressing Pass. But in reality, even the Netherworld Ghost King was just a front, and it was to cover for a sneak attack on Qiansong Town.

But if they needed the Netherworld Ghost King’s Undead Army to attack the Soul Suppressing Pass, what did they rely on to attack Qiansong Town?

"Who captured Qiansong City?"

"It was Long Wushang’s New Empire Army, just now, they sent out thousands of elite troops to raid Qiansong City, led by that Divine Calculation Sky Demon. One Immortal Technique destroyed the gate, then thousands of troops swarmed into the city.

Since most of us were busy dealing with those fake humans, there were hardly any people defending the city, only a few hundred city guards. We haven’t had enough time to build up forces in Qiansong Town, the military strength is too weak, and the New Empire Army broke through the gates in one wave. Now even the City Lord Mansion of Qiansong Town has fallen.

I have already ordered the remaining people to retreat. Qiansong Town... is lost."

New Empire Army...

Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment, the Pantheon, who knows what tricks they used, not only could they summon the Undead Army, but they could also connect with the New Empire Army, this kind of leveraging technique really leaves one with no way out.

What’s more infuriating, from beginning to end, not a single member of the Pantheon showed their true self.

"Did you catch those who were impersonating us?"

"Those Disguisers were not humans at all, they were fake humans from paintings, turned into real humans through some special Spell. Once killed, they turned back into paper, I have never seen such a thing before."

Fake humans from paintings?

Hearing this, Xiao Jie felt a stir in his heart. He vaguely seemed to remember seeing something similar before, and after a careful recollection, he suddenly remembered.

Back then, the ones sent by the Pantheon to assassinate Chen Tianwen were a few fake humans from paintings.

At that time, he had chopped a few himself, but the fake humans then were clearly fake at a glance, this time the Disguisers were much more realistic.

He then recalled the beautiful woman who painted his portrait on the road two days ago, could it be her?

"I think I know who the Pantheon people are. I met someone on the train who painted a portrait for me..."

"Did you also meet that painting beauty?" Long Xingtianxia spoke, revealing the identity of the other side.

Xiao Jie was surprised, "You met her too?"

"Yes, many of us did. In the past two days, almost everyone encountered similar experiences."

Xiao Jie frowned, "How is this possible, this woman couldn’t have a Clone Technique, right? How could she appear in so many places at once?"

Long Xingtianxia gave a wry smile, "That woman is also a fake, painted. The mastermind behind it may not look like that at all, they might not even be a woman, could be a burly man for all we know."

Long Xingtianxia explained their findings to Xiao Jie.

What! This shocked Xiao Jie.

He had close contact with that artistic beauty, even chatted a few words, that person showed no flaws at all, completely like a real human.

To think that the other side could create lifelike fake humans from paintings...

It seems the other side’s abilities have greatly improved, those fake humans used to assassinate Chen Tianwen were clearly fake at a glance.

It means these Disguisers might now be indistinguishable from real humans, such ability really is too much of a bug. If they set their minds on causing chaos, who knows how much trouble they could cause.

So, speaking of this, the other side could send out Avatars at will to cause trouble?

They wouldn’t be afraid of being caught, since even if caught, it would just be a fake human.

No wonder they dared to confront the official forces directly, with such abilities, they are almost invincible.

The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more fearful he became. He quickly used Qi Observation Skill to scan the hall, making sure there were no fake humans, then felt a bit relieved.

In the future, I must be more careful.

So far, the Pantheon has shown only three people, but whether it’s this painting woman or that Divine Calculation Sky Demon, their abilities are all incredibly strange, and who knows what powers Eternal Damnation has, but surely none of them are good.

Even so, he did not intend to accept the Pantheon’s invitation. As long as he becomes an Immortal, no Immortal Law or Demon Art would matter.

He already had a shortcut to becoming an Immortal, no need to waste time on these guys.

"What do we do next? Do we counterattack?" Xiao Jie asked in a deep voice.

"No, we don’t counterattack. The New Empire Army is a version antagonist force, not to be underestimated. We can’t win with just the four of us.

Actually, although we lost territory in this sneak attack, it wasn’t without benefits. If the other side launched a full-scale siege, we would have had to fight a bloody battle, and even if we could hold the city, many would die.

Now, although we lost territory, at least everyone is safe, which is a blessing in disguise."

Though Long Xingtianxia said this, his tone carried not a trace of relief, but rather a repressed anger.

It appeared Long Xingtianxia had developed an intense hatred for the Pantheon.
