Chapter 110: Sharing the same boat in Yuzhou (VI) Sharing the same boat, suffering the same disease. ...

The next day everything went according to plan.

Early in the morning, the whole mansion was filled with noise. Lin Yuzhou woke up from the chattering and walked out the door. He saw Yu Zhi rushing over. Seeing him startled, he pulled him over and said, "The governor has come out of seclusion!"

Lin Yuzhou pretended to put on his clothes in a hurry: "What? So sudden?"

Yu Zhi said, "Wei Yuanye is already waiting in the hallway. Lin—why don't you put on your pants before coming out?"

Lin Yuzhou came out without even wearing pants, holding two hairy legs. He said in a panic, "Oh, okay, wait a minute."

By the time he came out after getting dressed, everyone was already there.

A Ping and Wei Yuanye each sat on a Xunlu.

Ah Ping said solemnly, "I've received a tip that the governor will be leaving today. We must depart immediately."

Lin Yuzhou climbed onto Xunlu and said, "Okay, okay."

Wei Yuanye glanced at the people behind him and said, "Is this all you have?"

Ah Ping's eyes darkened, and he said, "It's an emergency, and I don't have many troops I can mobilize."

"It's enough," Lin Yuzhou said, "it's enough for my two brothers."

They set off and headed towards the west mountain outside the city.

Lin Yuzhou was curious and asked, "Is this where the state master is practicing in seclusion?"

"The then-state ruler couldn't leave his territory," Ah Ping said calmly. "If not, he wouldn't be trapped in this spiritual energy-depleted place."

Lin Yuzhou said: "No wonder he hasn't been able to ascend after all these years."

"Though Immortal Lin has ascended to heaven," Ah Ping asked, "isn't he still in the human world, suffering the consequences of karma?"

Lin Yuzhou was truly speechless this time. He smiled and said, "It's always different."

Aping would not understand this sentence.

Many people couldn't understand it, except Wei Yuanye.

It's always different.

They are all sufferings due to cause and effect, but the karma of each person is different. After ascending to heaven, one has to bear the sufferings of cause and effect a thousand times more. The more awake one is, the harder it is to break free.

It is always different, so it is better to be ignorant all your life.

Xunlu can travel a thousand miles a day, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the place where the legendary state lord was in seclusion.

It looked like an ordinary foot of a mountain. As they looked into the distance, they saw that the top of the mountain was lush and green, but the vegetation was even more dense.

Lin Yuzhou said, "Maybe you can see a dragon here."

"I'm afraid it's hard to see a real dragon in this world anymore," Ah Ping said. "No dragons showed up during the battle at Kunlun Mountain. I heard that after you died, the dragon that served as your mount also disappeared from the world."

Lin Yuzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "They are all rumors, rumors."

"I just heard that dragons like to live in deep mountains and tall forests, in the deep and quiet areas of the Nine Seas," Lin Yuzhou said, "hiding in the mountains and in the narrow crevices of corals. Maybe they like this place very much."

Wei Yuanye said: "Break the barrier and rush in——"

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth shook.

An old voice came and said, "Who dares to act rashly——!"

Everyone looked up unconsciously and saw a middle-aged man in mid-air. He was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and had gray hair on his temples. He looked down at them with an imposing manner without being angry.

Ah Ping frowned and said, "Is it him?"

He had no divine powers and had never practiced cultivation, so naturally he couldn't tell the man's level of cultivation. However, from his words and demeanor, he could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person. He asked, "Is he a Dharma Protector?"

"Where can we get a Dharma protector?" Lin Yuzhou thought his question was foolish. "Who would dare to protect someone with this level of power? Wouldn't that just mean they'd be struck by lightning and die?"

This is indeed stupid. It is indeed difficult to protect the Dharma with such skills. First, protecting the Dharma also requires deep skills, and such people themselves have the power to become immortals. It is impossible for them to help others at the expense of themselves. On the other hand, two such people are competitors for resources and cannot be left to their own devices at will.

Ah Ping didn't know about this. This was a completely different world for him. However, he suppressed his displeasure towards Lin Yuzhou at this moment and said, "Leave it to the two heroes."

The state master opened his eyes, and golden light flashed. He could not tell the two men's level of cultivation. He only saw that they seemed to be mortals, but they were not afraid of him at all. He laughed heartily and said, "Times are different now. You little thieves dare to act so rashly in front of me."

Only then did Aping send someone to hand over the Kunlun wood to them. Yuzhi brought up two branches. No matter who looked at them, they were just two pieces of wood. The state lord flicked his sleeves, and the huge rock in front of him was instantly shattered. The debris brought by the explosion hit them. Lixiao and Yuzhi rushed over and stood in front of Aping.

Lin Yuzhou and Wei Yuanye looked at each other, jumped up, and the Kunlun tree sensed their power and burst out with infinite spiritual energy. They began to fight in the sky.

The governor and they exchanged punches and kicks in mid-air, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Suddenly, Lin Yuzhou was kicked down by the state master, and he hit Aping's Xunlu right on the ground. The Xunlu was frightened and let out a wail, struggling violently. Li Xiao wanted to control the Xunlu, but was kicked in the heart. His eyes went black, and he covered his chest for a long time and couldn't recover.

Yuzhi said, "Come down quickly!"

Ah Ping rolled over and said, "Protect me!"

A large group of Qiang people surrounded Ah Ping, but the state lord was furious and chasing Lin Yuzhou. The momentum of his attack brought up sand and gravel, causing everyone to almost fall to the ground. Wei Yuanye also fell down like a huge rock. Lin Yuzhou and the state lord fought with lightning and fire, which was too fast to watch. Everyone felt that this battle between gods was really dangerous. Ah Ping noticed something was wrong and said, "Let's retreat!"

But it was too late. The state lord swung his sleeves and took out a whisk. This whisk was extremely powerful, emitting golden light that blinded everyone.

Seeing that everyone was unable to open their eyes, Lin Yuzhou, the "State Lord", and Wei Yuanye looked at each other and started fighting more and more brazenly, punching each other in the middle of the crowd.

All I heard was wailing everywhere——

“Who is it?”

"Who hit me on the head?"

"You stepped on my foot!"

"General Ping!"

Ah Ping shouted, "Who's hitting me?"

Then he was hit in the eye socket by a dull punch. Yu Zhi asked, "Where are you? General Ping, where are you?"

He grabbed someone's hand in the chaos and asked excitedly, "General?"

The man also excitedly asked: "General? Where is the general?"

Everyone's eyes were blurry and they couldn't see anything. Ah Ping shouted, "Stop fighting!"

Then there was another groan.

Wei Yuanye and Lin Yuzhou were pretending at first, but later they realized that no one could see anything clearly, so they stopped pretending and simply blocked A Ping in the corner and beat him to the ground. The "Lord of the State" stuffed dust into A Ping's mouth to prevent him from making any sound. Several people were throwing punches at him. By this time A Ping realized that he had been tricked, but it was too late.

Wei Yuanye picked up the muddy Ah Ping, and after hiding behind some rocks in the distance, he stepped out with a light on and gestured at him, meaning to kill him.

This was the plan they had made at the beginning. If Aping secretly wanted to attack Zhang Deng after Wei Yuanye and Lin Yuzhou left, they would not leave Aping alive. It seems that Aping did use some means after Wei Yuanye left.

Wei Yuanye was about to take action when his ears moved and he subconsciously got goosebumps all over his body.

Lin Yuzhou did the same. The two of them turned around almost at the same time. The "Lord of the State" was a little slower to react. He was the last to realize something was wrong. He turned around and found that there was actually a person standing in the air behind them.

It is difficult to describe this man's appearance. He seems young and old, a master and an ordinary person. No one knows how long he has been standing behind him, with an expression that seems neither smiling nor angry.

Lin Yuzhou said: "The state master——has come out of seclusion?!"

The fake governor removed the human skin mask, revealing Shi Hong's face, and said in surprise: "This..."

The Qiang people gradually regained their sight and realized that Ah Ping had been knocked unconscious. Leaderless, they were in chaos. Yu Zhi stepped forward to help Ah Ping up and was about to flee. Zhang Deng, Chi Xiaoxia, and the others emerged from their hiding place. Zhang Deng said, "You have done such evil things that you cannot leave your names here."

Yu Zhi immediately knelt down and said, "A Ping has done something wrong this time. He is either dead or injured. This has already seriously damaged the vitality of the Qiang people. The Qiang people are in a situation now. There are spies inside and enemies outside. We are in trouble both internally and externally. We can't cause any more trouble. I hope you will give us a way out."

Zhang Deng looked at him and said, "Yuzhi, you are a smart man. You and I both know who Ah Ping is. Giving you a chance to survive is like giving disaster to the people of the world."

Yu Zhi said, "You saved a group of Qiang people from a cart coming from Yuzhou that year. We took the wrong road. This time, please show some mercy and let us go again."

"Stop talking nonsense," Chi Xiaoxia said, pulling out the Kunlun wood from his sleeve. "Go confess to the King of Hell."

Chi Xiaoxia swept out the sword energy from Kunlun Wood and killed Yu Zhi with one sword. Everyone was shocked. Zhang Deng also pierced A Ping's chest with a sword, causing a line of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth in his sleep.

Zhang Deng looked at Li Xiao, whose face was as pale as paper, and said only one sentence: "It's too late."

Li Xiao looked at Zhang Deng blankly. He knew it was too late. He had made a huge mistake and was courting death. There was no way back.

Li Xiao drew out the long sword in his hand and committed suicide, with blood splattering three feet.

In this short moment, several influential figures of the Qiang people all met their end, and they fled in all directions.

The old man in the air watched the Qiang people escape without saying a word, then turned to look at Wei Yuanye and Lin Yuzhou.

He could obviously see the level of these people's skills. He looked at Wei Yuanye carefully, and Wei Yuanye also looked at him.

After a while, the governor said, "It was really noisy. I came out to see what was going on. Why are they fighting right at my door?"

"I'm helping you get rid of this trouble," Lin Yuzhou said. "If you don't come out and take care of things, your house will be taken away by thieves."

The state lord said: "Thank you very much."

"No need to thank me," Shi Hong said, "Just go ahead and do your thing. We're leaving now."

The governor said, "Oh?" and then said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come in and have a seat."

"Your cave has a barrier, so we won't bother you anymore," Lin Yuzhou said. "We'll talk next time."

The governor chuckled and said, "The barrier only protects against gentlemen, not villains. Since you can't get in, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives and other intentions."

The state lord's face changed and he said, "Who are you and what brings you to Yingzhou?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed," Wei Yuanye said, taking a step forward. "Are you sure you want to ask?"

The governor studied his expression for a moment and then said, "What if I insist on asking?"

Wei Yuanye glanced at the sky imperceptibly. Suddenly, dark clouds covered it. He suddenly realized something and said, "You're so defensive. You don't think we're going to take over your kingdom, do you? This tiny Yingzhou, while you consider it a great achievement, I see it as nothing more than a tiny village. It's not worth the trouble."

The state master was indeed irritated. He frowned and said, "Where did you come from, you casual cultivator? You are so arrogant."

Zhang Deng looked up suddenly and realized that something was wrong with Wei Yuanye.

This was definitely not something Wei Yuanye would say, but when he looked around, no one seemed to see anything unusual.

How could no one have noticed this huge change? Zhang Deng was extremely anxious. What had happened to Wei Yuanye?

He would never say such a thing. Wei Yuanye must have discovered something, or something must have happened.

Lin Yuzhou followed up on Wei Yuanye's words and said, "We cleared out the trouble for you, and it would be fine if you weren't grateful, but you're also speaking hurtfully. Isn't that a bit of a revenge?"

The state lord sneered and said, "God will take care of the trash. Why don't I send you to see the way of heaven?"

Wei Yuanye also sneered and said disdainfully: "You?"

The state lord's face flushed red as he said, "You little thief, you're courting death."

Wei Yuanye said, "I'm just afraid that when you see Tiandao, you'll be so scared that you'll pee and shit, and won't know what to do."

"Then I will take you, little thief, in the name of Heaven, and let you see the power of the Lord of Yingzhou." The Lord attacked with an eagle claw, "Accept your death!"

Zhang Deng became anxious and took a step forward, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm. He turned around and saw Chi Xiaoxia shaking his head at him.

"I don't know what this guy is capable of," Zhang Deng said, "I'm afraid—"

Chi Xiaoxia said, "Protect yourself. Whatever happens next is none of your business."

"Why don't you care about my business?"

Zhang Deng was about to break free from his hand, but he noticed that Chi Xiaoxia's expression was also extremely serious. The look of his gaze on him was like thick ink, like a black hole, extremely terrifying.

Zhang Deng was startled, but Chi Xiaoxia pulled him in the opposite direction and ran: "Hurry up!"

Zhang Deng only heard the ground shaking behind him. He was pulled away by Chi Xiaoxia and ran away. He looked back with difficulty and saw Wei Yuanye also looking at him.

Zhang Deng said, "Wei Yuanye——!"

Wei Yuanye looked at him without saying anything, and his expression was expressionless. The state lord's eagle claws rushed towards the back of his head, and his eyes fell on Zhang Deng, empty, yet full of words.
