Chapter 368: Blue sky, blue sky, and yellow sky? Then my name is Haotian!
"Fourth-level original power?" Zhi Sheng exclaimed. He had never expected that there was such a person with fourth-level original power here. Thinking of the difficulties that Dongbai City has encountered recently, if he angered such a great man, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhi Sheng is the young lord of Dongbai City. Dongbai City is a small border town behind Huangtian Heaven Realm. It is backed by the vast ocean and has thousands of heavy mountains in front. It can be said that it is a stable and peaceful town in the current war. However, recently, fishermen who went out to sea to fish actually found traces of the Qingtian troops at sea. This discovery made the lord of Dongbai City, Zhi Sheng's father, extremely worried. Zhi Sheng's father sent many people to the imperial capital to report, but their bodies were found shortly after leaving the city. It is obvious that the Qingtian troops have isolated Dongbai City and the war is approaching.
In order to help his father and relieve his father's worries, Zhi Sheng led his men out of the city to hunt cultivators. The cultivators they hunted would become cultivator slaves to fill the shortage of cultivator slaves in Dongbai City. In normal times, Dongbai City had enough cultivator slaves, but once the war came, Dongbai City's cultivator slaves were completely insufficient. They were needed to repair defenses, escort food and grass, and other heavy and dangerous jobs.
Zhisheng was very lucky because he had to be careful of the Qingtian Realm's troops, so he was walking on a remote road. He actually ran into Mengzi and others who were out hunting. So Zhisheng injured Mengzi, then deliberately exposed his flaws to let him go, and he followed behind. His purpose was to wipe out all the cultivators of this generation.
The plan was successful. Zhi Sheng led his troops along a very hidden road that had never been discovered before, and came to a valley with a small village in it. Zhi Sheng roared to the sky in excitement, but before he finished roaring, an extremely powerful force attacked him.
"Level 4 Origin Power!"
The moment Shi Yan grabbed Zhi Sheng's Adam's apple, Zhi Sheng immediately half-knelt down, then saluted and said respectfully: "I, Zhi Sheng, did not mean to offend you, please forgive me, sir!"
Shi Yan was stunned, and quickly stopped his charge, retracted his claws, stood with his back to his feet, and his mind raced.
"Could it be that he mistook me for a Dao creature? It's very possible. They look exactly like humans, without any difference. Moreover, I have learned the power of reincarnation. In their eyes, I am undoubtedly the same kind." Shi Yan coughed pretentiously and snorted, "You are so bold! I am doing my job here, and you dare to come and mess with me."
Seeing Shi Yan's dissatisfaction, Zhi Sheng panicked and quickly explained: "I dare not. I didn't know that you were doing business here. I entered here by mistake. I hope you will forgive me."
"Did you really get lost?" Shi Yan released a trace of the power of reincarnation. Zhi Sheng felt a huge pressure like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. He was sweating all over his face. "It's absolutely true. How dare I lie in front of you, my lord?"
Shi Yan nodded, "Well, I don't think you dare. Tell me, who are you and what were you doing before? This place is so secluded, what are you doing here?"
"I am from Dongbaicheng, which is 20 miles away. I led the troops out for patrol because I found traces of the Qingtian Realm troops not long ago, and all the people sent to the imperial capital were killed." Zhi Sheng said half true and half false. He didn't want this lord to know that he came for the group of cultivators behind him. What if these cultivators were the lord's slaves? Wouldn't he be coveting his property? If the lord was unhappy, he might not be able to escape.
"The troops of Qingtian Realm?" Shi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a plan suddenly came to his mind. He said to Zhi Sheng: "You get up, I am a wanderer, I have been in seclusion here for many years, I don't know what the current situation in the world is like?"
Zhi Sheng stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir. You have been in seclusion, and I am afraid you don't know that our troops in Huangtian Realm are at a disadvantage among the three realms. Of the three major battlefields on the front line, our realm has lost two battlefields. At present, there are only two frontline battlefields with Kunhua Realm and Shuqiong Realm. This battlefield is fought by the troops of Qingtian Realm. If this battlefield is defeated, Qingtian Realm will be able to break into our Huangtian Realm. It can be said that the battlefield composed of Kunhua Realm and Shuqiong Realm is crucial. Fortunately, these two realms are special and easy to defend but difficult to attack, which has enabled us to persist until now. Now, for some reason, the troops of Qingtian Realm appeared near the border of my Binhai Realm, which is my hometown Dongbai City. Binhai Realm is the rear of the battlefield, and my Dongbai City is the rear of Binhai Realm. It is really puzzling that the troops of Qingtian Realm appeared in such a place far away from the battlefield. But for the sake of safety, I led the troops out of the city for patrol."
Shi Yan's brain was spinning rapidly, and he asked, "You said that the Coastal Realm is behind the Huangtian Realm, so which realms are connected to the Coastal Realm?"
"Not counting the teleportation array, the Wushao Realm and the Tianlong Realm are directly connected, but the intersections of these two realms with the Binhai Realm are both on the other side of the Binhai Realm."
"So where does this side of the Coastal Realm connect to?"
Zhi Sheng thought for a moment and said, "It's the Sea of Chaos!"
"Sea of Chaos?" Shi Yan was puzzled, but he didn't ask too much. If he asked such a common sense question, the other party would probably be suspicious.
"The Sea of Chaos is a name for nothingness, and it is also a kind of existence that seems to fill the space between spaces. In the words of the Xuanlong Realm, it is similar to spatial turbulence." Just when Shi Yan was puzzled, Long Er's voice appeared in his mind, helping Shi Yan solve his confusion. Shi Yan looked at her gratefully, turned his head and said to Zhi Sheng: "Is there a possibility that the troops of Qingtian Realm came from the Sea of Chaos?"
"Impossible, that's the Sea of Chaos, humans can't survive there."
"Human?" Shi Yan sneered. You are monsters, right? Humans are what we call you! Although he was unhappy, under the current circumstances, Shi Yan couldn't let his unhappiness ruin the whole thing. "What if it works?"
Zhi Sheng's face turned pale immediately, and he looked up at Shi Yan in panic, "Sir, if it is possible... then wouldn't our Binhai Realm be in danger? But there is one thing I don't understand, that is, why did they take such a big risk and come to Binhai Realm?"
Shi Yan smiled, "It's very simple. The Coastal Realm is the rear of our Huangtian Realm, and it is an extremely safe place. Because of the war, most of the troops will be gathered in the front-line cities, so this rear area has become a vacuum zone. Qingtian Realm must have found some way to cross the Sea of Chaos, but now it can be seen that this method is extremely dangerous and has a low success rate. After they cross the Sea of Chaos and gather most of the troops in the Coastal Realm, they will seize the edge cities of the Coastal Realm, such as Dongbai City, at lightning speed. Build a large teleportation array in Dongbai City to continuously send troops to the rear of the battlefield, and then open up a battlefield in the rear. At the same time, because of the existence of the battlefield in the front, the rear troops are vacuum, and the troops of Qingtian Realm are cautious. I am afraid that no one will know if they have seized several realms. When the rear defense is consolidated, they will launch attacks from both sides at the same time, and the Huangtian Realm will be in danger from both sides!"
"This..." Zhisheng's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
Looking at Zhi Sheng's expression, Shi Yan laughed so hard that his stomach clenched. "Who knew what your situation was like? I just scared you like this with just one casual repetition. It seems that the creatures of the Great Dao are not as scary as the legend says."
"Sir, please save us. Only you can save Dongbai City, only you can save Binhai Realm and Huangtian Realm!" Zhi Sheng knelt down and begged with a bang.
"Me? Are you kidding? I can't do it, I can't do it." Shi Yan waved his hands. He was just trying to scare him, so how could he get involved?
"Sir, don't be so modest. I can clearly feel that you possess the fourth level of original power. In my Huangtian Heaven Realm, only the five marshals, the three kings, and His Majesty Huang Tian possess the fourth level of original power. Although you are a lone man, you can possess the fourth level of original power. You must be at the same level as the five marshals and the three kings, and you will definitely be able to help us!"
"Only the five marshals and three kings in the Huangtian Heaven Realm possess the fourth-level origin power?" Shi Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Doesn't this mean that as long as I don't reveal my identity as a cultivator, I can do whatever I want in this world?"
Shi Yan pretended to hesitate for a while, and waited until Zhi Sheng kowtowed heavily before he helped him up in a pretentious manner, saying: "How about this, I will go to your Dongbai City first to take a look. If I can help, I will help. If not, then I can't do anything."
"Okay, as long as you stay in my Dongbai City, I believe no one will be so blind as to come and cause trouble." Zhi Sheng said excitedly.
"However, I hope you won't reveal my strength to others. I have my own difficulties."
"I understand. I will never reveal it. You won't reveal it either, right?" Zhi Sheng tilted his head and asked the troops behind him.
"Yes, we heard nothing." They shouted in unison.
Shi Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let me pack up and then we'll be on our way."
"By the way, sir, what should I call you?"
The highest status in this world is Huang Tian, Qing Tian and Cang Tian, so I will be called Hao Tian! Shi Yan grinned and thought about it, then said with a smile, "My name is Hao Tian!"
After asking Heizi to take a message to the village chief, Shi Yan led a group of people to Dongbai City. Shi Yan temporarily stored the Dayu dragon boat in the hidden space and followed behind on foot.
Although he was puzzled as to why Shi Yan only brought a few slaves with him, Zhi Sheng did not dare to ask more questions given Shi Yan's status. Besides, the fact that Master Haotian had promised to guard Dongbai City had already made him so happy that he would not care about anything else.
The journey was very fast and soon we could see the city wall of Dongbai City.
However, at this moment, there was thick smoke billowing out of Dongbai City, and everyone could hear a hint of shouting and killing!
"Oh no! It's the Qingtian Heaven Realm's troops!" Zhi Sheng was shocked and rushed towards Dongbai City.
Shi Yan smiled gloomily, "I was just talking nonsense, how come you really came? I don't think I have the potential to be a jinx. Before, it was after I saved Mengzi, and now, I predicted all the bad things... I am really a jinx!"
